Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 124

When Madrigal returned home, Yale's face darkened. "Didn't I tell you not to go out? Why don't you listen to me?"

"Mom, I have something important to tell you." Madrigal pulled Yale into her room and closed the door. She lowered her voice and said, "Monica seemed to be pregnant."

"Where did you hear that?" Yale was also surprised. Madrigal told her everything that Mandy said. Yale was a little anxious. She was sure that Mandy wanted to deal with Monica, but it still needed to be verified whether Monica was really pregnant.

She immediately called Eva. "Is Monica pregnant?"

Eva was at work. When she heard this, she was stunned. "What? Jenny didn't tell me about this."

"Mandy told Madrigal that Monica got pregnant for saving Coco. I'm not sure about it, so I called you." Yale was not so panicked after hearing what Eva said. Perhaps this news was not true. She really hoped Monica was not pregnant.

Eva had the same idea as Yale. However, there's no smoke without fire. Mandy would not lie to Madrigal specifically. But with Jenny's desire for a grandson, she would be very happy if Monica was pregnant. How could she have kept it a secret? It was indeed possible to cure leukemia with cord blood. Eva thought for a while and said, "I will take time to visit Jenny and ask about it." Eva immediately bought fruits and went to the Huo family. Jenny was very happy to see her. The two chatted for a while. Then, Eva deliberately mentioned Coco's illness and asked Jenny how to treat Coco. Jenny sighed, "The child is now in a stable condition. It's not acute leukemia. Quarmy said that it was not a big deal. As long as Monica's child is born, Coco can be saved."

This was the first time that Jenny had mentioned Monica's pregnancy in front of Eva. Eva cursed Jenny in her heart. This old woman had hidden the news so well. Fortunately, Mandy told it to Madrigal. Otherwise, they would still be kept in the dark. Though she hated Jenny, she did not show it on her face at all. "This is a good thing for you. Not only can your grandson be cured, but you can also have another grandchild."

"Of course I want to have another grandchild, but I don't want Monica. You know that Quarmy wholeheartedly wants to marry Monica. Now Madrigal is also pregnant. What should we do? It's giving me a headache."

Jenny's words made Eva feel anxious. Now the matter of the sports meeting had been settled, and Jenny was a person who did not keep her promise. If she went back on her word, what should Madrigal do? Eva said, "Although the success rate with cord blood for leukemia is high, the premise is the successful matching of cord blood."

Jenny naturally didn't understand this. "What do you mean?"

"I mean the cord blood of Monica's unborn child may not match Coco's." Eva explained. "What? If it doesn't match Coco's, what should we do?" Jenny was anxious when she heard this.

"Don't worry. It won't necessarily happen. Besides, isn't Madrigal pregnant? Her child is also Quarmy's. Maybe her child can save Coco."

"Yes, you're right." Jenny immediately reacted.

"So you don't have to worry. Just wait them to have babies. Not only will it cure Coco, it'll give you more grandchildren. Isn't it a happy thing?"

Jenny nodded. "You're right. We have to look at everything from different angles."

As she spoke, a car's voice sounded. Lassie came in and said, "Mr. Huo is back."

Jenny stood up with a smile on her face. "Why is he back so early today?"

While she is speaking, Quarmy strode into the living room, followed closely by Noah. When Quarmy saw Eva, he frowned slightly. He used to have a good impression of Eva, but now she was like an accomplice in his eyes. Although he was not happy, he did not show it on his face. He nodded politely at Eva and strode into the study.

After closing the door, Quarmy turned on the computer to check the monitor. There were several monitors inside the house. As long as he checked the monitor, he could get a clear understanding of what had happened that night.

Quarmy soon saw the scene of that night. His car drove into the Huo family at around 11 p.m. The door opened. Mary got out of the car first, followed by Madrigal, and then they helped him out of the car together. At this time, Jenny and Eva also opened the door. Then, they carried him upstairs. There was no monitor in his bedroom, so he couldn't see what was going on inside. But it could be clearly seen that those who helped him into the room walked out of the room one by one. Mary came down from upstairs and left the Huo family.

However, Madrigal did not leave. After Mary left, she went back to Quarmy's bedroom. Seeing that, Quarmy's face changed.

Noah's face also changed. They looked at each other and then continued to check the monitor. In the living room, Eva and Jenny were chatting. Quarmy didn't know what they were talking about. He desperately hoped that Madrigal had entered his bedroom again because she had left something in his room.

However, this idea was undoubtedly naive. Madrigal entered his room for about an hour before she went out.

Eva and Jenny got up and said something to Madrigal. In the end, Madrigal and Eva left the Huo family.

Why did Madrigal stay in his bedroom for more than an hour? What had happened in the bedroom? Quarmy did not dare to believe that he had had sex with Madrigal during this hour. At that time, he was unconscious. How could a person without consciousness do that kind of thing?

However, what if it was Madrigal who took the initiative? Quarmy suddenly felt sick. It was really unimaginable that Madrigal, who looked gentle and kind, would do such a shameless thing. What happened this day completely shocked him. Mary, who was helped by him, turned out to be an ungrateful person. Madrigal, who had been gentle and virtuous, was actually a shameless woman. His mother, Jenny, really disappointed him that she actually set him up for her own interests. Besides, Jenny's best friend Eva was also not a good person.

In all his years at the corporation world, he was always on his guard, and he didn't expect that he would be set up. Thinking that he might have had sex with Madrigal, he felt disgusted. The great humiliation and anger filled his heart and his face darkened.

"Mr. Huo, maybe things aren't so bad." Noah tried to comfort him. "You were in a coma at that time. How could a man do something like that when he was unconscious?"

Quarmy didn't say anything. Since they wanted to set him up, they wouldn't let him go so easily. He didn't know what had happened, but he would eventually know. It was just a matter of time.

It was impossible for Madrigal to do nothing in his room. Quarmy forced himself to face it. Either he had a passive sex with Madrigal unconsciously, or Madrigal was in his room to get his sperm for artificial impregnation. She wanted to get pregnant in this way?

Why did she want to get pregnant with his child so badly? Last time, she was forced by her parents. What about this time? No one forced her to do so. Besides, she clearly knew that he could not leave Monica and it was already hard for him to be with Monica, but she still did such a shameless thing. What did this mean?

Madrigal was not as gentle and kind as she looked. She had been acting. Therefore, everything she said was not true and she had been deceiving him. What a good actor. He had actually believed her words before. Quarmy found himself a joke. He had been fooled by a woman! He punched on the table. Madrigal was so hateful! He would not let her go easily. He must let her know the consequences of setting him up!

This night, when Summer got off work and returned home, Coco ran over to grab her hand and told her, "Aunt Summer, that big liar came here again today. I ignored him and even threw out all the things he brought."

"Good boy!" Summer gave Coco a thumbs-up. "If he comes again, you can throw water all over him and let him beat a retreat in the face of difficulties."

"What does that mean?" Coco asked.

"I mean let him never come here again." Summer explained.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Monica frowned when she heard this. "Summer, don't talk nonsense."

"This is not nonsense. Quarmy shamelessly abandoned you and your child at that time. What right does he have to be Coco's father? I am teaching Coco to do the right thing. It can prevent Quarmy from robbing you of Coco's custody."

"I don't think he'd be so brazen."

"I doubt that. Quarmy's mother is a troublesome woman. With her around, anything can happen. We must be on our guard."

Monica smiled helplessly. Summer did it for her, so she would not blame her. However, when she thought of Quarmy's pitiful look, she felt a bit distressed. To be honest, Quarmy was not that detestable.

Moreover, no matter what, Quarmy was Coco's father. She couldn't let Coco live with hatred. Quarmy was not a bad guy. Monica knew that he wanted to make it up to them. She couldn't let Coco hate him like this. It was unfair. At night, Monica mentioned Quarmy before Coco went to sleep. "Don't be rude to Dad like that in the future."

"Mom, he is a big liar, a bad guy. I don't want such a person to be my dad." Coco insisted. Since he was young, he had always been eager to have a father, but his father abandoned him and got engaged to another woman. In his young heart, he had already sentenced Quarmy to death. Quarmy was a big hateful liar!

"You can't scold Dad like this. Coco, Dad was forced to abandon us."

"What does that mean?" Coco asked.

"I mean he has his own reasons." Monica explained. "There's a reason for his engagement with that aunt."

"The reason is he wants to marry another woman, right?" The scene of the engagement between Quarmy and Madrigal was deeply engraved in Coco's mind...

"No, that's not true." "But I saw it. Mom, don't lie to me."

"Mom didn't lie to you. That aunt is sick. Dad got engaged to her in order to take care of her." Monica couldn't find an excuse for Quarmy, so she told it to Coco.

"Why did Dad want to take care of someone else, instead of Mom and me?" Coco asked.

"Because he felt guilty for that aunt. He owed her." Monica continued to explain, "Dad loves you, but at that time, he didn't know you were his son."

"Why didn't he know that?"

"Because Mom didn't tell him."

"Is it because he made you unhappy?"

Monica nodded. "Because he hurt me, so I didn't tell him I was pregnant. You were born after I divorced him. He didn't know your identity before."

Hearing that, Coco felt a little better, but he was still unhappy. "Dad is a bad guy. He hurt Mom, so I still can't forgive him."

"It's not Dad's fault. It's grown-up stuff. You'll know it when you grow up. Now you just need to remember that Mom loves you, and Dad loves you too."

"No, I don't believe that Dad loves me. If he loved me, he wouldn't have abandoned Mom and gotten engaged to someone else." Coco was very stubborn.
