Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 122

Seeing Quarmy leave, Lassie also left the pharmacy. On the way back, she called her son. "Ted, will he suspect us?"

"Don't worry. He won't know our relationship." Ted answered.

Hearing that, Lassie calmed down. Only Yale and herself knew that Ted was her son.

Lassie and Yale were from the same place, the Cat's Alley. Lassie was a few years older than Yale, so she and Yale were actually old friends.

There were a lot of people in the Cat's Alley. It was difficult for people living there to be unaffected. Lassie was from a poor family, so her life was really hard. She had been running a stall with her parents since she was a kid, but they didn't make much money. Her parents grew older day after day. Her poor family made her very upset.

At that time, a hooligan began to pursue her with sweet talk. The hooligan gave her some money every once in a while. Lassie was an easy girl. She quickly lived with the hooligan and gave birth to a son before they got married.

Lassie's parents were old and sick. Later, they died one after the other. Lassie then relied on the hooligan, but it didn't last long. Soon after she gave birth to her son, the hooligan was sent to jail. Lassie, an unmarried girl, could not afford the child, so she listened to the advice of others and gave the child to the childless Lee family.

After the Lee family adopted the child, they asked Lassie to leave this place. Lassie was worried that the hooligan would come after her, so she agreed. The Lee family gave her a sum of money for this.

Lassie went to another place. While working there, she met a man surnamed Huang. Later, she married him. At first, they were a sweet couple. Later, her husband began to beat her after knowing her past. She knew that she had done something wrong first, so she didn't fight back. However, her husband got more and more out of line. He thought he was losing out on being married to a single mom, so he started to flirt with other women.

Lassie knew that she was in the wrong, so she didn't say anything about it. Seeing that, her husband actually took his mistress home and slept with her in front of Lassie.

Who could stand it? Lassie finally resisted, but her husband didn't care. He punched and kicked her, which made her face black and blue. Lassie was actually not a timid person. She hated her husband so much that she grabbed an iron hammer to fight back. Accidentally, her husband was killed by her.

She was sentenced to life imprisonment for this. After living in prison for more than ten years, Lassie was released in advance because she performed well. In order to survive, she began to look for a job. At this time, she met Yale, who was already the mayor's wife. Because they

were acquaintances, Yale got her a job as a nanny.

Lassie worked as a nanny for several years. Later, Yale found a way to let her be a servant in the Huo family. It was a big change for her to go from a nanny in a normal family to a servant of a billionaire.

Although she was a servant in the Huo family, her life was much better than ordinary people. In order to stay at the Huo family, she tried her best to win the favor of Jenny. No matter how Jenny scolded, she wouldn't say anything. Jenny liked that, so Lassie successfully stayed at the Huo family.

About three years after Lassie came to the Huo family, she secretly returned to Jiang City for her son, Ted. She learned that Ted was going to be sentenced for assault with intent. Therefore, she went to ask Yale for help. Yale tried her best to let Ted get rid of it. Later, Yale let Ted learn to drive and helped Ted become the driver of Zoe step by step.

Later, Lassie knew that Yale had her own purpose to do these things. Yale just wanted her to be a pawn. Lassie was not a fool, but Yale did her a favor, so she gradually became Yale's accomplice. It was Lassie's credit that Monica couldn't get pregnant before.

Originally, after Monica divorced Quarmy, Lassie wanted to leave the Huo family. Yale persuaded her to stay because she could help Madrigal a lot after Madrigal married into the Huo family. Therefore, she stayed.

Although Jenny was snobbish, she was not bad to Lassie. Lassie had planned to save more money for her son, and then find a place no one knew to live. However, recently Jenny became more and more irritable. Because of the bad mood and health, Jenny scolded Lassie every day. Lassie found that she could not bear it any longer, so she made an appointment with her son. She wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but Ted asked her to be patient. Hearing her complaining, Ted let her buy some medicine that could make people fall asleep for Jenny. In that way, Jenny could no longer scold her. Lassie agreed, but she then met Quarmy in the pharmacy.

Although Ted said that Quarmy would not doubt it, Lassie felt a little uneasy. As the saying goes, a quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. She had done so many bad things, how could she not feel guilty?

When Lassie returned to the hospital, Jenny was losing her temper in the ward. Seeing Lassie, Jenny scolded her, "Where the hell have you been?"

"I went to the pharmacy." Lassie smiled and said, "I just saw Mr. Huo. He said he would come to see you right away."

Jenny's injury was not serious. After the operation, she was fine. The reason why she stayed at the hospital was to get her son's sympathy. However, the doctor had already told Quarmy that Jenny was fine.

Quarmy had disappeared during this period of time, and he didn't even call Jenny. Jenny was extremely angry. Now that she heard what Lassie said, she immediately cheered up and felt better.

Sure enough, Quarmy came to the hospital to see her in the afternoon. When Jenny saw her son, she couldn't help crying. "Quarmy, where have you been? My whole body is in pain these days. How can you do this to me? You don't even want your mother for a woman?" "Mom, what are you talking about? I went to find a doctor for Coco." Quarmy looked at his mother.

"How is Coco?" Jenny wiped her tears.

"He's fine. The doctor asked him to take medicine first." Quarmy answered. "Mom, I just asked the doctor. He said that you could be discharged. I'll hire two cares to take care of you at home."

Jenny had wanted to show how painful she felt in front of her son, but her son had already known she was fine. She blushed and was speechless for a moment. Quarmy quickly asked two professional cares to take Jenny home.

Jenny felt much better after seeing Quarmy. She kept asking about Coco on the way home. Quarmy knew that his mother was not a bad person, so he showed her the photos of him playing with Coco. Seeing Coco's cute face, Jenny couldn't help smiling. If only her grandson could be with her every day! She asked Quarmy, "Quarmy, can you bring Coco home?"

"No." Quarmy refused flatly.

"Why not? Coco is my grandson. Why can't I see him?"

"Mom, do you think he will be willing to see you after you treated him like that?"

Thinking of the child's resistance to her, Jenny was a little discouraged. She muttered, "It's all Monica's fault. If it weren't for her, would I have had a bad relationship with my grandson?"

"Don't blame Monica. Monica is not as bad as you think. She said that as long as Coco was cured, she would let Coco call me Dad. Wouldn't it be easy for you to see your grandson then?"

"Did she really say that?" Jenny doubted. "Son, did she lie to you on purpose?"

"Is there a need for her to lie to me?"

"It's hard to say. I can't trust her. If I hadn't sue her for intentional injury last time and restricted her to leave, maybe she would have taken the child abroad and married Leon."

Quarmy didn't say anything. Jenny was right. Thinking of this, Quarmy felt a little upset.

"Let me tell you, I won't stop her marrying Leon, but I can't let my grandson call someone else Dad." Jenny rambled.

Quarmy was a little annoyed. "The best way to prevent your grandson from calling another man Dad to let Monica marry me, or you can't stop it."

"Who said that? Can't I fight for the right to raise the child?" Jenny did not feel that it was inappropriate at all.

Quarmy couldn't help sneering, "Mom, do you think you have the ability to compete with Monica?"

"Why not?"

"First of all, Monica has suffered so much for Coco and Coco has his own choice. Besides, Mayor Jane is Monica's father. Do you think he will allow you to take Monica's son away?"

Jenny was suddenly speechless. How could she forget that Monica's biological father was Zoe? Indeed, as long as Zoe was around, she would never get the right to raise Coco. However, she really didn't want to let Monica be with Quarmy. Monica's status was different now, so she would definitely not be as obedient as she used to be. What if they quarreled again? the Huo Family was would no longer be peaceful.

After Jenny was discharged, Eva came to visit her. Soon, they talked about Madrigal.

Eva told Jenny that Madrigal was indeed pregnant. Jenny was naturally happy, because it was a good thing for the Huo Family. However, Quarmy might not think so. Therefore, she should make a plan first.

She told Eva to keep it a secret and remind Madrigal to take good care of herself. When the time came, she would tell her son. As long as Madrigal married Quarmy, it was useless for Monica to do anything.

This time, Eva came here to see Jenny's attitude. Seeing that Jenny was very happy about Madrigal's pregnancy, Eva was relieved. Then, Jenny mentioned the sports meeting project again.

The bidding of the sports meeting had entered the countdown, and Jenny had been paying attention to it. She heard that Roland had a Chinese- Western design team. Although Zewail was Quarmy's chief designer, Jenny was still not at ease. There were always accidents. Last time, her son and she thought they could get the city construction project, but in the end, they lost to Roland. This time she wouldn't be careless again.

Although it was Quarmy who took care of the company, how could Jenny stay out of it? If her son could win the bid, the future of VSUS would be limitless. On the contrary, if Queen got the project, it would have a great impact on VSUS. It was not a good thing for the development of VSUS.

Previously, Eva had said that Yale would find a way to help Quarmy. Thinking of this, Jenny asked Eva how Yale would help Quarmy.

Eva said, "Yale has helped Quarmy get a drawing for the stadium. With this, VSUS can definitely win the bid."

As she spoke, she took out the drawing she got from Francisco. Jenny was overjoyed. She thanked Eva and promised that as long as VSUS won the bid, she would treat Madrigal well.

With Jenny's guarantee, Eva happily left. Jenny was also very happy. She immediately called her son and asked him to go home quickly, saying that there was something important to discuss with him.

After Quarmy returned home, Jenny handed the design drawing to Quarmy. Quarmy was shocked when he saw the design. He took the drawing and hurried back to the company. He immediately called the designers for a meeting. The chief designer Zewail was surprised to see the design. "Mr. Huo, where did you get it? It is very similar to Francisco's style."

"I think so too." Quarmy agreed. "I'm just not sure!"

"I'm sure it's Francisco's work." Zewail looked at it carefully for a while before he confirmed. "I heard that he lived in seclusion in Jiang City. I didn't expect that he would give us such a big gift. With this drawing, we will definitely win."

Quarmy was sure that he would get this project, while Roland had already known the result of this bidding.

On the day of the bidding, after discussion, the experts decided that VSUS's design of the main stadium was better than Queen's.
