Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 138

Monica planned to move back to the Jane family. Quarmy called her at night and told her that Zoe was sent to the hospital. He asked if she wanted to visit Zoe.

The day before this day, Monica saw the news on TV about Zoe's meeting in the province. Zoe looked in high spirits at that time. Why was he suddenly sick?

Thinking of what happened last time, Monica guessed that something must have happened to Zoe, so he chose to pretend to be sick again. Therefore, she did not take it to heart.

Not long after dinner, Lancy called Monica. She said that Zoe fainted and asked Monica to go to the hospital.

When Monica arrived at the hospital, there were only Zoe and Lancy in the ward. She didn't see Yale and Madrigal, so she felt a little strange. Shouldn't Yale and her daughter try their best to serve Zoe at this time? Why were they absent?

Seeing her come in, Lancy stood up and pointed to Zoe, who was sleeping on the bed. "He hasn't woken up yet."

Monica lowered her voice. "What happened?"

"I don't know." Two days ago, Zoe went out for a meeting in the province. When he went out, he said that he would return after three days. This night, when Lancy was preparing dinner, Zoe's driver called her and told her that Zoe was in the hospital. Lancy was asked to go to the hospital alone.

It meant that Zoe didn't want Yale and her daughter to know it. Zoe was not at home, so Yale would not stay at home, either. Only Madrigal was still at home. Lancy made an excuse to come to the hospital. When she arrived at the hospital, she found that Zoe was in a coma. She was worried about him, so she called Monica.

"Where is his driver?" Monica asked Lancy.

"He had been staying here before I let him go out for dinner."

"Why is he suddenly sick? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that Mayor Jane had high blood pressure, but he would be fine after staying in the hospital for a few days."

As she spoke, the driver pushed the door open and walked in. The driver was a newcomer and did not know Monica. When he saw a stranger in the ward, he was surprised. Lancy immediately told him Monica's identity. Monica asked the driver, "What happened before he fainted?"

The driver shook his head. "I took Mayor Jane to a meeting in the province. According to the schedule, we should have come back tomorrow, but we came back in advance. On the way home, his face suddenly turned pale. He said that he felt uncomfortable and asked me to send him to the hospital. After we arrived at the hospital, the doctor gave him a check- up and said that his blood pressure was very high. The doctor asked him to stay in the hospital. I wanted to call Madam Jane, but Mayor Jane stopped me. He let me call Lancy and asked me not to tell anyone else about this."

Monica glanced at Lancy. "Is his high blood pressure bad?"

Lancy nodded and said, "He's been taking medicine, but I'd never seen anything like this before."

Monica always thought that Zoe was in good health, but she was wrong. She was a little worried, so she went to the doctor.

Not long after Monica left, Zoe woke up. Lancy was very happy. "Sir, you're awake! Do you feel better?"

Zoe nodded and struggled to sit up. The driver hurried forward to help him. Lancy asked Zoe with concern, "What do you want to eat, Sir?"

Zoe looked at the driver and said, "Go get me some porridge." The driver nodded and left. After that, Zoe looked at Lancy and asked, "Is she not at home today?"

Of course, he was asking about Yale. Lancy nodded and said, "She went out early in the morning. She said that she would go shopping and get a facial. She didn't come back when I left."

Zoe's face was a little gloomy. "What clothes did she wear when she went out?"

Lancy told Zoe about Yale's clothes when she went out, "What's wrong, Sir?"

Zoe did not speak. On the way home, he inadvertently glanced out of the car and saw a man and a woman kissing in a car parked by the road. The woman's figure was similar to Yale's. At that time, his heart skipped a beat. He was so angry that he felt dizzy and breathless. If he hadn't fainted at that time, he would have asked the driver to stop the car and see what was going on.

The woman he saw in the car looked like Yale, but the clothes she wore were different from what Lancy said. Did he get the wrong person?

While Zoe was thinking, Lancy spoke again, "Moni came to see you. She was worried about you so she went to the doctor."

"She's pregnant. Why did you tell her about this?" Zoe complained.

"I was scared when I saw you in a coma."

Monica came back with a doctor at this time. When she saw Zoe wake up, she looked relieved. The doctor checked Zoe again and said that his situation was very stable now, so there was no need to worry.

After the doctor left, the driver came back. Monica shook her head when she saw the porridge. "This is seafood porridge. Mayor Jane is allergic to seafood. You'll have to buy something else."

"I'm sorry!" The driver was a newcomer so he didn't know this. "I'll buy something else now."

"Well, I'll go with you." Lancy said, "Moni, you stay here and chat with Mayor Jane. I'll be back soon."

Only Zoe and Monica were left in the ward. Zoe's eyes were a little wet. He never expected that Monica would remember his seafood allergy.

Madrigal and Monica were both his daughter. Madrigal had lived with him for so many years and knew that he was allergic to seafood, but she never cared about this.

Quarmy liked seafood, so Madrigal often asked Lancy to buy seafood. She tried her best to please Quarmy, but she completely ignored her dad's feelings.

Although he felt uncomfortable, he still persuaded himself not to be angry. After all, young people rarely thought about others. This day, he realized that he was wrong. "Moni, I'm wrong! I'm sorry"

Zoe had apologized to Monica countless times, but the apology at this moment was completely different from what he had said before.

Monica also noticed his emotional change. She poured a glass of water for him. "You don't need to apologize. In the past, I was too stubborn, but now I changed my mind. You gave me my life. For me, it's the biggest gift. I have no right to ask you to do anything, and I'm not qualified to hate you."

Zoe felt even guiltier. "Moni, I really feel sorry for you and your mother. I hope I can make it up to you. As for your mother, I only wish her to forgive me after I die."

Monica looked at Zoe and thought of Eva's words. She tried to calm herself down. "I want to ask you one thing. Has my mother ever done anything wrong to you in her life?"

"No! Your mother is a good woman. After marrying me, she never did anything wrong to me. I betrayed her." Zoe answered firmly.

Monica felt relieved. Her mother was not that kind of person. She was so stupid that she actually suspected her mother because of that vicious woman Eva. She was really ashamed.

Lancy and the driver quickly came back. After having the porridge, Zoe found that it was getting late. He was worried about Monica's health, so he asked her to go back to rest. Seeing that Zoe was fine, Monica decided to leave. She told the driver to take care of Zoe before leaving. When she walked to the door, Zoe suddenly asked, "Moni, the day after tomorrow is my birthday. Can you take Coco home for dinner?"

Monica nodded. "I will."

Zoe was ready to be refused, so he was very happy after hearing that. Then he encouraged her to move back to the Jane family. "Lancy has prepared a room for Coco. You can move back with Coco."

Monica did not object. "I'll consider it."

After Monica returned to Roland's villa, she told Francisco and Summer that she would go back to the Jane family. Summer was still worried, so she told Quarmy about this and asked him to persuade Monica. Quarmy was also anxious. Yale was so vicious. What if she wanted to hurt Monica? He couldn't let Monica take the risk.

Quarmy came to Monica in the evening. "Moni, think about it again. Yale is too vicious. You have to protect yourself and your unborn baby. We can't take such a risk."

"I know, I will be careful."

"No matter how careful you are, you can't completely avoid sudden accidents. We've waited for so many years. Just let Yale go free for a few more months. When the baby is born and Coco has recovered, we can take revenge." Quarmy persuaded. "After all, so many years have passed. With Yale's cunningness, she must be very wary of you. It's not easy for you to get evidence from her. You can leave this matter to me. I'm investigating Yale and Eva. Be patient, the truth will soon be revealed!"

Seeing Quarmy so worried, Monica had to make a concession. "Well, I won't move back to the Jane family for now. We'll talk about it when you get the results of your investigation. But tomorrow is Zoe's birthday, and I have promised him to bring Coco back for dinner."

"Since you have promised him, you can go back. Remember to be careful." Quarmy reminded again.

This was the first time that Monica had attended Zoe's birthday party since she left the Jane family. Zoe was really happy. Although it was his birthday, he asked Lancy to prepare the food Monica liked. He also personally picked Monica and Coco up.

Seeing Monica and Coco come back for Zoe's birthday, Yale and Madrigal were shocked. They looked at each other. Didn't Eva say that Monica would leave Jiang City soon? But the situation now was completely different from what Eva said. It seemed that they had to ask Eva what was going on.
