Yale accompanied Madrigal to stay in the hospital until dawn. When Yale went to the parking lot, she was dumbfounded. Her car window was cut open and her bag disappeared. Yale was too angry to speak. She immediately came to the security guard of the hospital.
The security guard checked the monitor and found that it was done by a person wearing a military coat. This incident also alarmed the dean. He did not dare to offend Yale, Mayor Jane's wife, so he personally took the car to be repaired and proposed to compensate Yale.
Yale was very angry at first, but then she thought she couldn't make a big thing out of it. Zoe didn't know that she and her daughter came to the hospital for an operation. He thought that they were going on a vacation. If Zoe knew the truth, they would definitely be in trouble.
Therefore, Yale accepted the compensation and asked the dean to keep it a secret. After such a thing happened, Yale and Madrigal felt unhappy. Yale's car was broken, so they took a taxi to the hotel and planned to stay in the hotel for two days before returning home.
Mary stayed in the intensive care unit for two days and finally woke up. A nurse called Leon excitedly and told him that she had woken up.
Leon rushed to the hospital. A Chinese doctor was talking to Mary on the bed. "Are you all right? If you can hear me, please blink." Mary blinked.
"Do you think it's hard for you to breathe? If you feel better, please blink." Mary blinked again.
"She seems to be really cured." A nurse whispered.
"Now, you can help her take off her oxygen mask." The doctor ordered the nurse.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" This was the first thing Mary said. Although it was not loud, it was very clear.
"We are doctors. You are in the hospital. You had an accident and we're treating you." The doctor explained.
"An accident? Why can't I remember anything?"
"Look, it was him who sent you here." The doctor pointed to Leon next to him.
"You sent me here?" Mary looked at Leon, and Leon nodded. "Then, you must know who I am. Can you tell me who I am?" She looked at Leon expectantly.
Wait, Leon was stunned. She didn't know who she was. What was going on? How could she forget herself? How could such a thing happen?
"Don't worry." The doctor comforted her. "Think about it carefully. Maybe it'll come back to you."
"I can't think of anything, and my head hurts. My whole body is in pain!"
"That's because you're injured. Have a good rest. You'll recall everything when you're well." The doctor quietly pulled Leon's clothes and pouted at the door. Leon followed him out suspiciously.
"Is she okay?" Leon asked impatiently as he followed the doctor back to the office.
"Her life is no longer in danger, but it will take some time for her to recover."
"Why can't she remember who she is? Did she hit her head?"
"Pretty much! Judging from her injuries, I guess she must have lost her memory." The doctor invited Leon to sit down.
"Lost her memory?"
"Yes, the car accident injured her brain. Memories are stored in the cerebral cortex. Once a person's brain gets hurt, there will be a phenomenon of losing memory. Those who are slightly injured will temporarily lose some of their memories, while those who are seriously injured will lose their memories forever."
"Then what kind of situation does she belong to now?"
"Well, it's a miracle that she survived from such a heavy blow..."
"Do you mean that she may lose her memory forever?"
"I'm not very sure. But her current situation is not optimistic. At present, we can only wait for her to recover."
After talking with the doctor, Leon went to see Mary. He stood outside the door and watched the nurse feeding Mary. This girl looked so helpless and pitiful. He couldn't help feeling sad. If her relatives knew that she had become like this, they would be very sad! Jenny refused to go back. Quarmy had no choice but to ask her not to disturb Monica and Coco. Jenny agreed, but she couldn't control herself. When she knew which hospital Coco was in, she went there secretly.
Monica was in the ward, so Jenny naturally had no way to go in. She could only stand outside the door and watched Monica and Leon chatting with Coco. The three of them looked happy, which made her very uncomfortable. Her son said Monica was going to marry Leon, which made her relieved. But how could she get Coco?
Monica certainly would not compromise. With Leon's help, Jenny would not have much chance to get the right to raise Coco. The key was that Monica was pregnant again. Jenny didn't want Monica to bring the two children of the Huo family to the Gu family.
After returning to the hotel, Jenny still felt uncomfortable. At this time, Mandy appeared.
Seeing Mandy, Jenny looked more unpleasant. She was a vengeful person and she did not forget what Mandy had said to her in the Gu family that day. But Mandy was obviously much tactful than her. With a smile on her face, Mandy sat down without invitation. "I'm here to help you."
"How can you be so kind?" Jenny snorted.
"Could you please listen to me first before making a conclusion?" Mandy ignored Jenny's hostility. "I hate Monica, too."
"What do you mean?"
"Monica seduced not only my brother Leon, but also my fiance. Do you think I will like her?"
This was true. Jenny finally felt that she had found an ally. "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Of course. But I need your cooperation." Mandy smiled coldly. "You let Quarmy warn Monica that if she marries my brother, he will fight for custody of Coco. It not, he won't."
"Is this a good idea?" Jenny sneered. "Miss Gu, I've thought of this method. It's useless. Quarmy won't push Monica."
"Quarmy doesn't want to lose face. Why don't you help him?" Mandy reminded her. "You go to warn her on behalf of Quarmy. If it doesn't work, I still have a way out."
"What way?"
Mandy whispered a few words into Jenny's ear. Jenny's face suddenly changed. "No! I can't do this! My grandson is sick. This will hurt him."
"When did you become so timid? I didn't ask you to harm him. I'm just helping you." Mandy looked down on Jenny. "You hire a few doctors first. What are you afraid of with doctors?"
Jenny was still hesitant.
"This is our last resort. You can talk to Monica first. If she agrees, you don't need to do that. On the contrary, you can do what I tell you to do." Seeing Jenny's hesitation, Mandy sneered. "You have to think about it. You don't have too much time. If Monica marries my brother, it will be too late for you to do anything. This is the United States. In that case, the child would definitely be raised by the mother." Jenny thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to Monica first."
Jenny had an appointment with Monica. Monica looked at her with a cold face. "What's the matter?"
"I want to talk to you." Jenny was still as arrogant as before. "I have discussed with Quarmy. We can give up fighting for COCO's custody, but I have a condition."
"What condition?" Monica asked with a sneer.
"You can't marry Leon."
"Madam Huo, what right do you have to say this to me?!" Monica sneered. No wonder Quarmy was so calm. It turned out that he had already thought of a plan. "I'm telling you, Coco was born after I divorced Quarmy. You didn't do anything for his growth. You have no right to ask me to do so!"
"You didn't give us the chance to take care of him. Monica, if I had known you were pregnant, I wouldn't have forced Quarmy to divorce you..."
"It's no use saying this now. You can't be so mean, Madam Huo. As I said before, there are countless women who want to have children for Quarmy. You don't need Coco, but I'm different. Coco is everything to me. I won't let anyone take him away."
"If Quarmy were willing to have children with other women, would I come to you?" Jenny thought to herself. If Quarmy had been willing to listen to her, she would have had a grandson, instead of living so lonely.
However, it was impossible for her to say this to Monica. If Monica knew that, the situation would be worse. She would definitely try her best to torture Quarmy. "Monica, I'm not here to discuss with you. I want to inform you that if you marry Leon, I and Quarmy will not sit by and do nothing. We will take Coco back, because neither I nor Quarmy will let Coco call another man Dad."
"Then let's wait and see!" Monica sneered and got up. She hated threatening the most in her life. It was undoubtedly impossible for her to be threatened by Quarmy and Jenny!
When she returned to the hospital, she saw Quarmy playing with Coco in the ward. Coco looked very happy. Seeing Monica come in, Coco couldn't help but be excited. "Mom, Mom, Uncle Huo said that he would accompany to the park after I left the hospital. Can you go with me?"
"Okay." Monica didn't want her son to be unhappy, so she agreed.
"Uncle Huo also said that he would give me a aircraft carrier toy that can spray water. I will be able to play it in the swimming pool." Monica glanced at Quarmy calmly. Quarmy wanted to please Coco, but she would not let him succeed. "Did you forget what Mom said to you? Mom will buy you toys. You can't accept strangers' gifts casually."
"But Uncle Huo said that the toy was limited-edition and couldn't be bought by ordinary people."
"If I can't buy it, I can ask Uncle Gu to buy it. Uncle Gu is not an ordinary person."
"Yes, Uncle Gu is a big president, of course he is not an ordinary person." Coco's eyes lit up. "Uncle Huo, I don't want your aircraft carrier toy anymore. My mother said I couldn't accept stranger's gifts, so I'm sorry."
The smile on Quarmy's face disappeared, and his eyes became dim. Monica completely refused his kindness!
Monica had just been pissed off by Jenny. When she saw Quarmy, she was annoyed. If it weren't for Coco, she would have driven him away a long time ago. For Coco's sake, she tried her best to suppress her anger. Finally, Coco fell asleep. She said coldly to Quarmy. "Mr. Fluo, please don't come here again, okay?"
"Why? Didn't you promise to let me stay with Coco until he got better?"
"That was before. The situation is different now." Monica looked at Quarmy coldly. "Leon and I will get married soon. Coco also regards Leon as his father. It's not appropriate for you to be here!"
"Are you afraid that I will hinder you?" There was sadness in Quarmy's eyes. "Monica, you said that you wouldn't stop me from getting close Coco. Why don't you keep your word?"
"I don't have to keep my word to a man like you." Monica was not polite at all. "Quarmy, I know what you are up to, but I tell you, I will never compromise. Whatever you want to do, do it!"
Quarmy was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. "Did my mother say
something to you?"
Monica sneered. "Don't act. Quarmy, you are a man, you should take responsibility. Don't push all the blame on your mother like a child." Quarmy's face turned pale and he left the hospital without saying a word. He had to ask his mother what she really wanted to do. In the face of his aggressive questioning, Jenny answered calmly, "Son, I did it for you. Monica is going to marry Leon soon. I just want to stop her."
Quarmy had nothing to say to his mother. He called Noah. "Send a private jet to pick Madam up immediately!"
"I won't leave!" Jenny panicked.
Quarmy didn't care. "Mom, you have to leave. It's not up for discussion!"
Jenny sat down dejectedly. It seemed that she had no choice but to go back this time. It was all Mandy's bad idea that caused her to fall into such a situation. She called Mandy aggressively and scolded her, but Mandy was not angry. "Congratulations, Madam Huo. You're about to get what you want!"
"What are you talking about? Don't be sarcastic!"
"Have you forgotten the second idea I told you that day? Isn't this the best chance?" As soon as Mandy said it, Jenny's eyes lit up, and her anger suddenly disappeared. It was indeed a perfect opportunity for her!
Coco stayed in the hospital for another day. The next day, Monica took him out of the hospital. It was happened to be Coco's birthday. Leon held a small birthday party for Coco at home. In order to make Coco happy, Leon invited many children nearby. After staying in the hospital for so many days, Coco was really happy to receive so many gifts and play with so many people. In the blessing, he blew out the candles with Monica and Leon. Coco put his palms together and began to make a wish.
After that, Leon asked him curiously, "What wish have you made?"
Coco whispered a few words into Leon's ear, and Leon happily kissed his little face a few times. Old Mrs. Gu and Monica were very curious, "Coco, what wish have you made?"
"If I tell you, it won't come true." Coco refused to tell them..
