Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 117

Early the next morning, an uninvited guest, Jenny, came to Gu Residence. She came here alone without telling Quarmy.

"I wonder what Madam Huo has come all this way for." Old Mrs. Gu asked the servant to serve tea. There was a smile on her face, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

Old Mrs. Gu naturally knew Jenny's character. She was irritable, snobbish and difficult to get along with. Since she was here, she must have known what had happened.

"I'm here to visit my grandson. Old Mrs. Gu, can you let my grandson out for a moment??" Jenny spoke very directly.

"Are you mistaken?"

"No. Monica's child is my grandson. Don't you know it?" Jenny sneered. "You're so smart, I don't think they can hide such a secret from you, right?"

Old Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I'm too old to meddle in those kids' affairs."

"What? So you're just going to stand by and watch the young master of the Gu family hanging out with a divorced woman?" Jenny showed a look of disdain. "Monica is the woman that Quarmy doesn't want. Don't you feel sick?"

"I don't think so. I think Moni is good!" Old Mrs. Gu chuckled. "Of course, it's normal that you don't like her. After all, what happened before is a shame..."

Jenny was speechless, and she instantly felt ashamed. She knew that what happened before was no longer a secret.

"Old Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu is so young and handsome. Why does he have to be with a single mother? Is it because that he is infertile?" In order to save her face, Jenny went so far as to speak out of turn.

Old Mrs. Gu was well-educated so that she wasn't annoyed, but her expression became gloomier. Mandy, who was beside her, wasn't happy. "I've heard about you for a long time. Today, you really impressed me! But this is the Gu family in America, not the Huo family in Jiang City. My grandma and I are not Monica. You should know your place, right?"

Jenny felt unhappy to be scolded by a junior like this. She smiled coldly and said, "We elders are talking, how dare you interrupt? Your family education is really an eye-opener to me!"

"I wonder when do you know so much about family education!" Monica and Leon appeared with Coco in their arms.

As soon as they entered Gu Residence, they heard the conversation just now. Monica was really annoyed by Jenny's arrogance. Jenny used to bully her, but now she actually made a scene at the Gu family without scruples. How could she be so arrogant?

Jenny heard Monica's voice and turned to sneer. "I thought who it was..."

Then she saw Coco sleeping in Leon's arms. Her eyes instantly became frenzied. Before, she did not think that Coco had anything to do with Quarmy. After hearing what Quarmy said, the more she looked at Coco, the more she felt that Coco looked like young Quarmy.

She couldn't help but walk over to touch Coco's head. Leon dodged and looked at her with alert. "What do you want to do?"

"This is my grandson?" Jenny was unhappy that she did not touch Coco's head. But her joy was not affected at all.

"Madam Huo, you made a mistake. This is my son, not your grandson!" Monica came forward with annoyance. She might still be patient with Quarmy, but Jenny... She didn't want to see Jenny again in her life.

"You..." Jenny's face changed. "Monica, is that how you talk to your ex-mother-in-law?"

"You also know that you are just my ex-mother-inlaw?" Monica sneered. "You'd better behave yourself. This is not the Huo Family. You are not allowed to do whatever you want!"

"Madam Huo, you are our guest, please sit down and talk!" Old Mrs. Gu gently mediated a dispute. As she spoke, Coco also woke up. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Are we home? Why don't you wake me up, Mom?"

"You slept so soundly that she didn't bear to wake you up." Leon answered.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at Coco lovingly and said, "Come here."

Coco went to Old Mrs. Gu's side obediently. Old Mrs. Gu held him on her lap and asked, "Did you get your shot today?"

"Yes, I didn't cry!" Coco answered proudly.

"Good boy!" Old Mrs. Gu kissed Coco's face. Jenny had been staring at Coco all the time. Seeing how Old Mrs. Gu loved Coco, she was very angry. This was her grandson. However, the Gu family wanted to rob her cute and lovely grandson! She would never agree.

"Monica, I'm here for the child."

Monica raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered. "The child? What child? You don't have old dementia, do you?"

"Stop acting. I know Coco is my grandson!" Jenny said rudely.

"Your grandson? Do you deserve it?" Monica sneered. "Madam Huo, this is my son born after my divorce. He has nothing to do with you. It's actually very simple for you to have a grandson. You have so many means. You can find a woman or a surrogate for your son. What do you have to worry about? This is my son, not your grandson!"

Jenny blushed and said after a long while, "Monica, a paternity test will tell me if he is my grandson. You can't deny it!"

Monica couldn't help sneering again. How could Jenny be so arrogant?

"A paternity test? You're not qualified to do that. Coco's my son." Monica was no longer weak. She had to protect the people she loved.

"I'm not qualified, but my son is. Let me tell you, Monica, as long as Coco is my grandson, I'm qualified to take him away!"

"Keep dreaming!" Monica did not give in at all. "If you take my son, I will kill you!"

Jenny was stunned. She did not expect Monica to be so resolute.

The quarrel between the two fell into a deadlock. Coco stared at his mother with innocent eyes and then looked at Jenny. He said in a childish voice, "Don't quarrel with my mother, bad woman!"

"You are my grandson. Come to Grandma's side, good boy!" Jenny's heart softened when she saw Coco's flickering big eyes, and her voice softened a lot.

Coco frowned slightly and shook his head. "You're not my grandmother. You're the bad person who quarreled with my mother!"

Jenny was stunned. She stood up and looked at Monica with hatred. It was all Monica's fault. Monica secretly gave birth to a child and encouraged the child to hate her and Quarmy. Monica was too bad.

Hearing what Coco said, Monica felt sad. She had always wanted to give Coco a peaceful life, but things went contrary to her wishes. She did not want her son to see Jenny's ugly look, so she got up and went to pick up Coco. "Good boy, let Mom take you upstairs to play!"

"What are you doing? I haven't finished my words yet!" Seeing Monica carrying Coco upstairs, Jenny was anxious!

"Madam Huo, please behave yourself. If you don't want to humiliate yourself, please leave. Let me tell you, this is my child. He has nothing to do with you. Get out of here!"

How could Jenny listen to her? She finally knew that she had a grandson and her grandson was so cute. She really wanted to hold him in her arms and kiss him hard. She stood up to stop Monica, reaching out to rob Coco.

"What are you doing?" Monica reached out to push her.

Jenny was not willing to let go. "Give my grandson to me!"

"Wah..." Coco cried out of fear as he had never seen such a scene before.

Leon immediately came over and said, "Madam Huo, let go of Coco. You will scare him!"

However, Jenny still refused to let go, Monica wouldn't let go either. Old Mrs. Gu was anxious, so she hurriedly persuaded Jenny. "You'd better let go of Coco. He is sick. Don't push him!"

"I won't let him go. This is my grandson. I want to take him away!" Jenny was unreasonable.

"What are you doing?!" Quarmy suddenly appeared. He couldn't find his mother anywhere. He guessed that she must have come here, so he came here in a hurry. When he entered, he saw this scene.

"Son, come and help me. Take Coco away immediately!"

As soon as Jenny saw her son, she seemed to see her savior and completely forgot that she was a noble woman.

"The child is in poor health. Mr. Huo, please take your mother away." Old Mrs. Gu was most worried about Coco's health.

Coco's condition had just stabilized. If Jenny continued to scare and pull him, something bad would happen.

Coco clutched Monica tightly in fear. Jenny ignored Old Mrs. Gu's persuasion. She just wanted to take her grandson away.

Mandy was the only one of these people who stood by and watched the show.

"Mom, I said I'd solve this problem myself."

"No, you can't solve it. Anyway, I will take my grandson away!" Jenny didn't want to compromise.

As she spoke, the strength in her hands increased. Coco's crying grew louder. Monica's heart ached and her tears continued to flow down. She was a mother. How could she bear to see her son suffer? But she was not willing to let Jenny touch her son. In the end, she loosened her hand. Jenny held Coco tightly with joy.

But Coco didn't want her. He struggled desperately in her arms, cried, and hit her face. Jenny's face was so painful that she loosened her hand. Coco fell to the ground, screaming. Leon picked up Coco and comforted him with distress. Cuarmy also stepped forward quickly. Seeing Coco's pale and painful face, hatred came out from the bottom of Monica's heart. She ferociously slapped Cuarmy's face. "Cuarmy Huo, are you satisfied with this?"

Seeing that, Jenny felt distressed. Monica was so vicious that she slapped Cuarmy in the face in public. "You vicious woman, you stopped me to see my grandson, and you still beat my son! Let me teach you a lesson!"

Monica's eyes were blood red as she approached Jenny. "If you make trouble here again, I'll kill you!"

The coldness in Monica's eyes made Jenny shiver. For some unknown reason, fear suddenly rose in Jenny's heart. Monica had never been so horrible. Jenny had a feeling that Monica would really kill her. She was so scared that she retreated.

Coco was crying all the time. Leon and Monica anxiously sent Coco to the hospital. The doctor checked Coco and said that he was frightened and asked him to stay in the hospital for a while. There was only the sound of the instrument in the ward. Monica looked at Coco's pale face and began to cry again.

"Coco... It's my fault..."

Leon reached out to hold her in his arms and gently patted her. "Don't worry, he will be fine!"

"Leon..." She said with tears in her eyes. If it weren't her, Leon would not have encountered such terrible things. "I'm sorry!"

"Idiot, I am willing to do all this. As long as you can be happy, I will be very happy!"

Quarmy pushed the door open and looked at the two people in the ward hugging each other. His heart ached so much that he could no longer look at them. He turned around and left. Standing on the empty corridor, his heart sank...

Monica walked out of the ward and saw the tall and lonely man in the corridor at a glance. Quarmy was like a sculpture, standing there motionlessly. Looking at the red marks on his handsome side face and his furrowed brows, she felt a trace of sadness in her heart. However, as soon as she thought of Coco in the ward, the sadness disappeared in an instant. She walked to him with no expression on her face.
