Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 125

After leaving Roland's villa, Zoe was ready to go back to the municipal government. However, he received a phone call from Yale on the way. "Zoe, come back quickly. Something big happened!"

"What happened?" Zoe was impatient.

"Madrigal...Madrigal is pregnant!" Yale stammered.

Zoe suddenly sat up straight and looked at Ted, who was driving. "Go home right away!"

When Zoe returned home, Yale was walking back and forth in the living room. Madrigal covered her face and sat on the sofa, crying. Seeing Zoe stride in, Yale asked, "What should we do now?"

"Go to the hospital right away!" Zoe gave a brief order.

It meant that he wanted Madrigal to have an abortion. Yale and Madrigal felt really disappointed. Madrigal continued to cry with her hands covering her face, while Yale looked sad. "I went to the hospital with Madrigal before."

"So she had an abortion?" Zoe let out a sigh of relief.

"No."

"Why not?" Zoe's face suddenly darkened.

"She's in no condition to have an abortion!" Yale handed Zoe an examination report. "The doctor said that if she gave up this child, she would never have another child, so..." Zoe did not look the examination report. He glanced at Yale and Madrigal coldly. He knew clearly how much his daughter loved Quarmy. Since she was pregnant with Quarmy's child, she must try her best to keep the child. The so-called examination report might be a lie.

Zoe sneered in his heart. Although Madrigal was also his daughter, he owed Monica more. Monica's current situation was caused by him. He would never allow Madrigal to affect Monica's happiness.

Zoe tried his best to make his voice sound normal. "Madrigal, don't cry. Dad will take you to have an examination again."

He seemed to be caring about Madrigal, but Yale knew that was not the case. Zoe obviously did not believe that there was something wrong with Madrigal's body. She reached out to pull Madrigal up and said, "Don't cry. Dad knows a lot of people. Let's go with him to have a check-up. Maybe it's a misdiagnose."

She said the word "misdiagnose" very loudly. Zoe gave a meaningful smile and took the lead in coming out. Yale helped Madrigal to follow him closely. After getting in the car, Zoe ordered Ted, "Go to City C."

Yale didn't expect Zoe to be so careful. He didn't want to go to the hospitals Jiang City. Instead, he went to City C, which was hundreds of kilometres away from Jiang City. No matter how scheming Yale was, she was unable to play tricks in City C. It seemed that Zoe didn't trust her that much anymore. Yale secretly sweated. Fortunately, the examination report was true, otherwise she and Madrigal were going down.

How could Zoe, who had been an official for many years, not know what Yale was thinking? He said lightly, "There are so many people in Jiang City that this matter may get out. No one in City C knows us."

Zoe was explaining why he chose to go to City C. Of course, Yale wouldn't expose him. She pretended to be flustered and said, "I didn't think too much. I took Madrigal to the hospital when I found something was wrong with her in the morning. What should I do? Will this matter get out?"

"I don't think so!" Zoe didn't want to discuss this. He took out his mobile phone and called someone. The phone was soon connected. A woman's voice sounded, "Mayor Jane, why did you have time to call me?"

"I want to ask you a favor." Zoe said with a smile.

"You're too polite. Just tell me what can I do for you!"

"Well, I need your help with an abortion."

"Abortion?" The woman was surprised. "Who's pregnant?"

"It's a bit shameful. Since you are my classmate, I won't hide it from you. My daughter is pregnant, but she can't keep this child. That's why I need your help."

"No problem, I'll wait for you in the hospital." The woman agreed without hesitation.

Several hours later, the car stopped at the gate of a large hospital in City C. Zoe, Yale and Madrigal entered the hospital together. Zoe took Madrigal to the obstetrics and gynecology department. His old classmate, Doctor Chen, was the director of the this department. When she saw them, she directly took Madrigal to the examination room. After that, she said to Zoe with a serious face, "She's had an abortion before, but the abortion was not successful, which affected her body."

"What's the affection?"

"Well, she was not supposed to be pregnant again. It's a miracle that she gets pregnant again. If she has an abortion again, she may never have children in her life."

Zoe didn't expect what Yale said to be true. He was stunned for a moment.

"What's more, as I checked, her children were twins."

Zoe didn't care about it. He was worried about Madrigal's body. It was too cruel for him to let Madrigal have an abortion. However, Madrigal's pregnancy would inevitably affect Monica and Quarmy. What should he do?

Yale gently pinched Madrigal with her hand. Madrigal looked at her mother blankly. Yale started to cry, "What should I do? Madrigal, my poor child!"

Madrigal immediately reacted. She knelt down in front of Zoe. "Dad, I beg you! If I have an abortion, I will never have another child in my life!"

"Madrigal, it's not that I don't want you to keep your child. But... sigh!" If it was another man's child, Zoe would let Madrigal keep it. But this child belonged to Quarmy. He just tried to persuade Monica to give Quarmy a chance. Now such a thing happened, how could he face Monica? Yale reached out to wipe her tears. "Poor Madrigal, this is your fate. Just accept it!"

"Dad, how cruel it is that a woman can't have children. I was set up, it's not my fault. You can't do this to me!" Madrigal was not acting. If Zoe really wanted her to have to abortion, then her life would be over. Quarmy would not have anything to do with her and she would not have children. Her future could be imagined. "Dad, I know that you're afraid that I'll disturb my sister and brother-in-law. I swear that I won't disturb them. Don't you want me to go abroad? I'll do as you say and never stay here!"

Looking at his daughter, who was kneeling on the ground crying, Zoe felt really upset. He reached out to help Madrigal up and said, "Get up. Let's talk about it when we get back."

This was a concession. Yale and Madrigal were relieved. Yale reached out to help Madrigal up. The three of them returned to Jiang City. On the way back, Zoe had been resting with his eyes closed. He didn't say a word. Yale and Madrigal were also silent, but they felt relieved. As the saying goes, no one is capable of hurting his own children. Zoe's heart was soft. In the end, they won this game.

Several hours later, they returned to Jiang City. The car stopped outside the villa. Zoe opened the door and got out of the car. Yale and her daughter followed him closely.

Zoe entered the study and motioned for Yale and her daughter to follow him. He closed the door and said, "I just thought about it in the car. Since this thing has already happened, we should actively find a way to deal with it. Now Moni and Quarmy don't know it. For everyone's good, Madrigal, you should go abroad soon. Your child will be born abroad. Don't come back if not necessary."

"I'll listen to Dad." Madrigal looked very obedient. As long as Zoe agreed to let her keep the child, it was a victory for her. He asked her not to come back, but was it possible? Not to mention that she would never go abroad, even if she did go abroad, she would definitely tell Monica about her pregnancy.

With her around, Monica and Quarmy would never get married.

Madrigal thought so in her heart, but Zoe spoke again, "I haven't finished my words yet. I agree to let you give birth to this child only because of your body. Don't think that you will have a chance after you have a baby. Let me tell you, Quarmy will never be yours!"

"Dad, don't worry. I have given up on Quarmy." Madrigal promised.

"That's the best. I have to warn you that you can't tell Moni about your pregnancy. If you dare to do so, I will never let you go!"

The mother and daughter promised that they would never let it out. At this time, Lancy put the food on the table and asked them to have dinner. The three of them were all hungry. They ate silently, while Lancy was standing on the side.

After dinner, Zoe went into the study, and Lancy was busy cleaning up. Madrigal said that she was tired so she went upstairs to rest. Yale made tea for Zoe, then she went to her daughter's room.

"Mom, what should we do now?" Madrigal asked in a low voice.

"Now the most urgent thing is to let Monica know that you are pregnant."

"I know, but if we tell her about it at this time, Dad will definitely be angry. What should we do?"

"We can let someone else do it." Yale sneered.

"You mean Lancy?"

"Yes, she loves that little b*tch. You can throw up in front of her on purpose, and she will definitely think of pregnancy. I bet she will tell it to Monica."

Madrigal nodded. "That's a good idea!"

While the mother and daughter were discussing how to let Monica know about this matter, Zoe called Lancy into the study and told her about Madrigal's pregnancy. "You have to hide this matter. Don't let Moni know it. Otherwise, she will definitely not forgive Quarmy."

Lancy nodded. "I know."

Yale used to rob Hannah's husband. Now her daughter was pregnant with the child of Monica's man. It was really hateful. Lancy really wanted to kill Madrigal's child.

But Zoe said that the child had to be kept because there was something wrong with Madrigal's body. If Madrigal lost the child, she would never have another child. Lancy thought viciously, "I really hope she to lose the child. She deserves it."

There was no light on in the room. Quarmy stood by the window and quietly looked outside. Downstairs came the sharp voice of his mother. It should be that Lassie had made her angry again. His mother's temper had always been so bad that ordinary people couldn't stand her at all.

Quarmy remembered that they used to change cares all the time until Lassie came to their house. Lassie had a good temper and could stand his mother. He also felt sorry for Lassie so he gave Lassie an extremely high salary. That was also why Lassie did not leave.

The scolding downstairs was getting louder and louder. Quarmy frowned. What was his mother going to do? It seemed that recently, Jenny's dissatisfaction with Lassie had increased a lot. Quarmy wanted to ignore it at first, but he finally couldn't stand it anymore. He opened the door and walked out.

Looking down from the second floor, he saw Jenny sitting in the wheelchair and scolding Lassie angrily. Lassie, with her back to his mother, lowered her head, holding a towel and half kneeling on the ground to clean the floor silently. Quarmy stood upstairs and was ready to persuade his mother, but he swallowed back his words when he saw the anger and hatred on Lassie's face.

He didn't expect that Lassie, who usually endured humiliation without saying a word, would show that kind of expression. He coughed gently. Hearing that, the anger on Lassie's face suddenly disappeared. She became gentle and modest as usual. Quarmy even suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes just now.

He suddenly thought of something and walked downstairs. "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I asked her to make bird's nest in crystal sugar but she put in too much sugar. Does she did it on purpose?" Jenny said angrily.

"It's not a big deal." Quarmy frowned.

"What? She has been in our house for more than nine years but she still doesn't know what I like. It proves that she is not doing her job. Shouldn't I scold her?"

The word "nine" made Quarmy frown more tightly. He and Monica got married nine years ago and Lassie became his mother's carer after that. Seeing that Jenny was about to continue scolding Lassie, Quarmy signaled Lassie to leave here. Then he pushed Jenny to another room.

Quarmy closed the door and said with blame, "Mom, no one is perfect. You don't have to be so strict. Think about what Lassie has done for you. Not everyone is willing to work so hard."

"Didn't I give her any money? Think about it yourself. Which carer can get such a high salary? She has been in our house for nine years, and she has also earned at least a few million dollars."

"So we have to treat her well. Since she has saved so much money, she doesn't have to work so hard at all. She can use the money to start a small business and enjoy her rest life." Quarmy continued to persuade Jenny. "She still chooses to be your carer, which means that she loves us. Mom, we are human beings. We should even treat a dog well, let alone a person. You can't treat her like this."

"Do you think she really wants to stay with us?" Jenny snorted. "Let me tell you, she stays here not because of love, but because of money."

"We can't let her work for nothing. It's natural for her to earn money."

"I didn't mean to expose her scandal. Since you wants to defend her, I'll tell you the truth." Jenny was also angry. "Lassie is not a good person at all. She actually keeps a young man. Do you know who he is? He is Zoe's driver, who is several decades younger than her. What a shame. Why does she have to keep a man who is as old as her son..."
