Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 121

The next noon, Zoe went to Roland's villa with a large bag of gifts. Monica's face darkened when she saw Zoe. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see my grandson!" Zoe did not care about Monica's attitude and went straight into the villa. Coco was playing with the puzzle in the living room. When he heard Zoe's voice, he looked up.

It was the first time for Zoe to see his grandson. He liked Coco at first sight. Coco and Monica looked so alike. He put the gifts in front of Coco and lovingly reached out his hand to touch Coco's head. "You're Coco, right? I'm Grandpa."

"Grandpa? What's that?" Coco asked with his eyes wide open. Monica had never mentioned Zoe in front of him, so he didn't know what Grandpa meant.

Zoe's face turned a little red. "Grandpa is your mother's father, understand?"

"I understand." In fact, Coco was still confused. He turned to look at Monica. "Mom, do you have a father?"

Monica forced herself to give a smile. She didn't want Zoe to lose face, so she nodded.

"You're Mom's father. Why didn't you help Mom when she was bullied by bad guys?" Coco turned to look at Zoe again.

"I was wrong. I will take care of you and your mother from now on, so that you won't be bullied by anyone." Zoe felt very guilty.

"Really?" Coco was happy. He was scared by Jenny. If he had a father, Coco thought he wouldn't have been bullied like this. Now that his mother had a father, his mother's father would definitely protect him and his mother. "There is a bad woman who often bullies me and my mother. You must help us beat her. She is too bad!"

"Well, if she dares to bully you again, Grandpa will protect you." Zoe promised. Then he looked back at Monica. "Moni, since you're back, you can take the child home."

Although Monica knew it was Zoe who helped her this time, she still couldn't accept him. "No, we'll just live here."

"It's still someone else's house. Dad will ask Lancy to prepare a room for Coco immediately. You should take him back."

"For me, this place is more like my home." Monica was not polite at all. She didn't want to see Zoe at all, but she couldn't drive Zoe away in front of Coco. At this time, Xanjer came.

Xajner often came here to help Monica take care of Coco. He was shocked to see Zoe here and his face immediately darkened. "What are you doing here?"

Seeing Xanjer, Coco was very happy. He immediately ran to Xanjer. "Great- uncle, I'm not hungry now. Please play with me first and then go to cook."

"Okay. Great-uncle will play with Coco for a while." Xanjer said. Monica reached out and took over the food from Xanjer. "Uncle, you play with Coco. I'll cook today."

"No, Coco likes my cooking."

"The dishes made by Great-uncle are more delicious than those made by my mother. I want Great-uncle to cook."

"Little fellow, can't you let your great-uncle have a rest?" Monica glared at Coco.

Coco dodged into Xanjer's arms. "Great-uncle, Mom scolded me!"

"Don't be afraid. Great-uncle is here."

Seeing Coco and Monica's intimate relationship with Xanjer, Zoe had mixed feelings. Monica was his daughter and Coco was his grandson. However, they had a deep relationship with Xanjer, an outsider. Zoe felt really upset.

Coco made a face at Monica in Xanjer's arms. Seeing Zoe standing aside, he poked his head out and pointed at Zoe, "Great-uncle, my mother has a father. The bad guys will not dare to bully us again!"

"Him?" Xanjer sneered. For Coco's sake, he wouldn't scold Zoe. Xanjer's sneer stimulated Zoe. If Xanjer hadn't taken Monica away, Monica would have grown up in the Jane family and had a good relationship with her father, nor would she have suffered so much. Zoe had a grudge against Xanjer.

"What's wrong with me?" Zoe stared at Xanjer coldly. "From now on, I will take care of my daughter and grandson. I won't bother you."

"Don't you think it's too late to say that now?" Xanjer sneered. "Moni and Coco don't need you." "It's not up to you, an outsider." Zoe also sneered. He had always been tolerant of Xanjer and never argued with him. But at this moment, he didn't want to stand Xanjer anymore. "I tell you, be polite to me. Otherwise I'll reveal your scandal."

"Zoe, are you still a human?" Xanjer was so angry that his face darkened. Zoe was threatening Xanjer with the identity of Francisco. Xanjer didn't want Monica to know this.

Seeing that, Monica felt bad. Although Zoe hurt her mother and her, it was undeniable that Zoe was very kind to her when she was a child. It was precisely because Zoe was good to her that she couldn't accept his cheating.

Although Xanjer was her uncle, he had been caring about her since she was ten years old. He played the role of uncle and father in her life. She didn't want to see their quarrel, so she said to Zoe, "You may go back first."

Zoe thought that Monica was helping Xanjer, so he was even angrier. He looked at Coco and suppressed his anger. " Coco, Grandpa will come to see you tomorrow. You have to listen to your mother!"

"Okay, Grandpa, goodbye!"

Zoe did not leave immediately but looked at Xanjer coldly. "Thank you for taking care of Moni these years. I'll buy you tea another day."

"I can't afford the mayor's tea. Forget it!" Xanjer didn't want to have anything to do with Zoe.

Zoe gave a fake smile. "I will invite you personally." After saying this, he strode away. After Zoe left, Xanjer's face turned pale. "Uncle, don't worry. Coco and I won't have anything to do with him."

Xanjer smiled bitterly. He was not the real Xanjer. If Zoe told Monica the truth, what would she do?

After lunch, Quarmy came here. He looked haggard and thinner. Seeing that, Monica felt a bit sad. "Quarmy, don't disturb us anymore, okay? I promise to let Coco call you Dad after he recovers, okay?"

Quarmy smiled bitterly. "Moni, I'm not here for this. I found a doctor for Coco. He is a well-known doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. He has rich clinical experience in treating leukemia. Please let him give Coco an examination."

"Chinese medicine?" Monica hesitated.

"Mr. Huo heard that the doctor had a lot of experience in leukemia treatment, so he traveled thousands of miles to invite him over. Please let him check Coco out." Noah interrupted.

"I have also heard of cases of leukemia cured by traditional Chinese medicine. Since the doctor is here, let's have a try." Xanjer persuaded.

Since Xanjer did not object, Monica opened the door. Dr. Zhang gave Coco an examination and then read Coco's medical records. He said he had treated patients like Coco before, so he suggested to treat Coco with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

Monica accepted his suggestion. Dr. Zhang gave Monica a prescription and asked her to let Coco take two courses of Chinese medicine first.

Xanjer carefully inquired about the points to note of taking Chinese medicine. The doctor said that Coco was forbidden to eat sour, cold or spicy food. Monica thanked the doctor was ready to buy medicine. Quarmy naturally would not give up this opportunity. He immediately proposed to give Monica a ride. Monica did not refuse.

This was the first time that they had been alone since returning to China. Quarmy looked at Monica carefully. "Moni, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I have caused you so much trouble."

"What else can you say other than sorry?" Monica snorted. "You're always making mistakes and apologizing. What's the point?"

"I won't do it again." He said with caution.

"Are you sure?" Monica sneered.

Quarmy was speechless. After a while, he begged, "Moni, I want to visit the child often. Is that okay?"

"Can I say no?" Monica said impolitely.

She didn't refuse him to visit Coco. Quarmy was happy. He smiled. "Moni, thank you."

"Thank me for what? Quarmy, I warn you, don't go too far. I just allow you to visit the child. That's all."

"I know. I won't do anything else." Quarmy promised.

After buying medicine, they were ready to go back. When Quarmy started the car, he saw someone through the rearview mirror. He couldn't help but be surprised. "Lassie? Why is she here?"

Monica followed his gaze and looked over. She saw Lassie appear at the gate of the pharmacy. Quarmy looked at Monica and said, "I'll ask her what she's doing here." Monica knew what Quarmy meant. He must be worried about Jenny. She didn't say anything, because Quarmy's business had nothing to do with her. Seeing that Monica didn't agree, Quarmy explained, "I went to another city for Coco's doctor and asked Lassie to take care of my mother, so..."

It was normal for him to worry about his mother. Monica couldn't help but say, "Quarmy, when I was with you, I never meddled in your affairs. Now we have nothing to do with each other, you can do whatever you want."

"I..." Quarmy looked at Monica with a complex expression. While he was hesitating, a man walked to Lassie. They greeted each other familiarly and then entered the pharmacy together.

"Ted? How did he know Lassie?" Now it was Monica's turn to be surprised. The man who entered the pharmacy with Lassie was Zoe's driver, Ted.

"Yes, how could they know each other?" Quarmy was also surprised.

"Quarmy, don't you want to ask your mother's condition? Go ask her now." Monica urged.

Quarmy got out of the car and went into the pharmacy. Although Ted was standing beside Lassie, his eyes had been looking around. He saw Quarmy from the elevator. As soon as he saw Quarmy, he subconsciously moved away from Lassie. He took the initiative to greet Quarmy. "Mr. Huo!"
