Mary's pregnancy surprised Old Mrs. Gu. Leon was already in his 30s. She had been looking forward to a great-grandson for so many years. Now that Mary was pregnant, it was a great thing for her.
Old Mrs. Gu took Mary home happily. As soon as she got home, she went to pay respects to the ancestors and ordered the servants to take care of Mary.
Looking at the heartfelt joy on Old Mrs. Gu's face, Mary had mixed feelings. She knew that Old Mrs. Gu attached great importance to this child.
Old Mrs. Gu was aged. As long as someone was pregnant with Leon's child, she would definitely be happy. Mary realized that Old Mrs. Gu's care for her was only because she was pregnant.
If it were another woman who was pregnant with Leon's child, she would also be so happy. Mary wished that Old Mrs. Gu not only liked her child, but also liked her.
Of course, what she wanted most was Leon's love for her. Thinking of this, Mary scold herself for being shameless.
She clearly knew that Leon only loved his fiancee. How could she be so whimsical and hope Leon to love her? It was immoral!
However, she could not control herself. Not to mention that Leon saved her life, Leon's kindness and consideration for her had deeply impressed her. How many women would dream of having such a handsome and talented boyfriend? Mary was enchanted with Leon.
There was no doubt that she liked Leon, and she was also willing to carry his baby. However, Leon did not love her at all. She could not destroy Leon's happiness for herself. Mary was in a dilemma.
On the other side, Old Mrs. Gu was happily talking to a servant. Jadey's pregnancy was an accident, but it made Old Mrs. Gu so happy. She told the servant that she was going to tell Leon about this, but the servant was a little worried. "Old Madame, let's talk about it later."
"Why?"
"Young Master has always liked Miss Mo. He was set up, so Miss Jadey got pregnant. He has been very depressed during this period of time. If you tell him about Miss Jadey's pregnancy, wouldn't he be even more upset?"
The servant knew Leon well because she had been in the Gu family for so many years. "Young Master is responsible and infatuated. He has been single for Monica. If he knows that Miss Jadey is pregnant, he will not be happy. There are only two solutions for him. One is to break up with Miss Mo and marry Miss Jadey, the other is to kill the baby. With Young Master's love for Miss Mo, he will definitely not marry Miss Jadey. Things will be more troublesome."
Old Mrs. Gu sighed. Leon had waited for Monica for so many years, how could he give up Monica? If he knew about Jadey's pregnancy, he would definitely let Jadey have an abortion. However, Old Mrs. Gu was really reluctant to give up the child!
Seeing that Old Mrs. Gu was depressed, the servant advised, "Old Madam, why don't you tell Miss Mo about Jadey's pregnancy first and persuade her to accept this child? If Miss Mo accepts this child, you can persuade Jadey to give birth to this child. Then, you can tell Young Master about this. Not only can we keep this child, but we can also let Young Master marry Miss Mo."
"That's a good idea, but will Monica agree? Also, will Jadey agree to give birth to a baby for Leon?" Old Mrs. Gu doubted that. "More importantly, Leon will definitely not allow Jadey to give birth to this child to affect his marriage."
"Miss Mo is also a mother, so she must understand your expectation for a great-grandson. I think she will agree. As for Jadey, I can see that she likes Young Master, so it shouldn't be difficult to persuade her to give birth to the child. As for Young Master, he cares about Miss Mo most. As long as Miss Mo agrees, he will definitely keep the child."
Old Mrs. Gu couldn't come up with a better idea, so she called Monica. She explained to Monica that Leon was set up by Mandy in order to let Monica forgive Leon.
Monica said that it was not Leon's fault and she would not blame Leon. Hearing that, Old Mrs. Gu told her about Jadey's pregnancy. "Monica, I have one more thing to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Well... Jadey is pregnant."
Monica was stunned. She was not a fool. She immediately understood why Old Mrs. Gu called her. Old Mrs. Gu wanted a grandson so much. Jadey was pregnant with Leon's child. Old Mrs. Gu wanted to keep the child, so she made this call.
Monica didn't know what to say. She held the phone and didn't say anything. Seeing that, Old Mrs. Gu took the initiative to say, "I want Jadey to give birth to this child."
Monica knew that she couldn't keep silent, so she asked, "Is that what Leon meant?"
"No, Leon still doesn't know about Jadey's pregnancy." Old Mrs. Gu sighed. "I haven't told him yet. Since that thing happened, he hasn't returned home. I'm worried that he will insist on killing the baby, so I called you first. Leon is so stubborn that he only listens to you. I also want you to persuade Leon to keep the baby."
Monica's mind went blank for a moment. Old Mrs. Gu continued, "I know it's too much to ask for this, but this is Leon's child. Please let Jadey give birth to the child, and I'll raise it up. It won't disturb your and Leon's life. What do you think?"
What else could Monica say? It was actually not too much for Old Mrs. Gu to ask this. Leon had been single for so many years, how could Old Mrs. Gu not be worried? Monica was not a cruel person. Leon treated her so well, and Leon could accept her child. What right did she have to refuse Leon's child? Monica answered after a moment of silence, "I will try to persuade him. Is Jadey willing to give birth to this child?
"I haven't talked to her yet. If you agree, I will persuade her to give birth to the baby. Of course, if she doesn't agree, we can't force her."
"I know. I agree. You can go persuade Jadey, and I'll try to convince Leon."
"Monica, thank you!" Old Mrs. Gu happily hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Monica turned back and found that Quarmy was standing behind her. She didn't know when he came. "When did you come?"
"I just came." Quarmy looked at Monica with distress. "Moni, give up on Leon!"
"Why?" Monica asked.
"I've heard what you said just now. Another woman is pregnant with his child. Why do you still want him? Don't you feel aggrieved?"
"Not at all!" Monica retorted.
"Don't you feel upset at all? Are you so willing to accept the child of him and another woman?"
"Leon is so good to me. He can accept my child. Why can't I accept his child?"
"I knew you would say so. You accept his child not because you love him, but because he treats you very well. You are just looking for dependence. Moni, this is unfair. Marriage is a combination of two people who love each other. You can't compensate his kindness for your happiness."
"Quarmy, this has nothing to do with you."
"Why? You know how much I love you..."
"So what? Who stipulated that I must marry you if you love me?" Monica interrupted him. "I know, but I am your children's father. We have two children. You should be with me for the sake of our children." Quarmy reached out to hold Monica's hand. "Moni, I love you. Please give me a chance to take care of you and your children!"
"No!" Monica took her hand out from Quarmy's hand. "Quarmy, the past has passed. Now I am Leon's fiancee. I hope you can understand this. We are over!"
"Moni!" Quarmy pleaded.
Monica turned her head. "Quarmy, I won't stop you if you want to visit the children. But I advise you not to think about other things."
Seeing Monica's resistance, Quarmy was very depressed. His hatred for Eva, Yale, and others increased. It was all because of these b*tches that he and Monica became like this. He would never let them go easily.
Eva, the b*tch, thought that everything would be fine after dealing with Ted? She was daydreaming. He would immediately give her a great gift.
After dealing with Ted, Eva was in a good mood. There's only one problem left, Mary. But this matter had been left to Nine. She believed that it would be solved in a few days.
Eva bought a well-decorated apartment. Looking at the empty house, she felt depressed. She still missed Jim.
She couldn't let Jim be with Grade. Even if she couldn't get Jim, she couldn't let others get him. Eva was planning how to make Jim turn against Grade.
Unexpectedly, she saw the news that Jim accompanied Grade to a Buddhist temple. Jim and Grade were wearing matching outfits and looked in high spirits.
Seeing that, Eva felt really upset. She couldn't fall asleep this night, so she went out the next morning with dark circles. She was in a bad mood and was ready to go to the hospital, but she was stopped by a person at the gate. "Eva!"
The man who stopped her was in ordinary clothes. He was so thin that she did not recognize him. "Who are you?"
"I'm Jake!"
Eva's face changed. "Didn't Yale say that Jake would never get out of prison in his life? What's going on?" While she was thinking, Jake reached out his hand to hold her hand. "Eva, I'm really happy to see you."
Jake held Eva's hand with his rough hands, which made her feel sick. This man had caused a lot of harm to her. He used to touch her tender body with his disgusting hands. This rude and disgusting gangster had forced her to have sex with him. In the past, this man was no more than a nightmare for her.
She wanted this man to die. How could she be happy to see him? She quickly pulled out her hand from his hands. "When did you come out?"
"I just came out. After I came out, I wanted to come to you and my cousin. I heard that my cousin was the mayor's wife, so I came to you first. Eva, I haven't eaten anything for a whole day. Let me go to your home and eat something."
Jake actually wanted to go to her apartment. Wasn't it disgusting? How could she let Jake go to her apartment? Eva's face turned cold, and she took out some money and gave it to Jake. "Here you are. I have to go to work right away."
Jake clearly saw the disgust in Eva's eyes. He really felt upset. Originally, he agreed to cooperate with Quarmy not only because he wanted to be free. He also wanted to be with Eva again.
However, Quarmy told him that he was set up by his cousin and Eva. He was stunned. He couldn't believe it at all. His intuition told him that Quarmy lied to him. It was not until he found the woman who slandered him that he believed it.
He was really infatuated with Eva. How could she treat him like this? Jake did not give up. After knowing Eva's address, he came here.
Although there was still a smile on Eva's face, her actions betrayed her. Later, when he saw the disgust in her eyes, he was completely awake.
Beauties were really poisonous. Yale and Eva were like two poisonous snakes. Jake really hated them when he thought of his inhuman days in prison.
He couldn't let Eva go. He must get the humiliation he had suffered back from her.
Jake took the money from Eva and left. Seeing that, Eva breathed a sigh of relief. But her relax didn't last long. She was very clear about how shameless Jake was. It was impossible for him to let her go so easily. What should she do now?
Eva first thought of living in a hotel for a few days, but this was not a good idea. She still had to work. If Jake went to her hospital, what should she do? Eva had been unease for the whole day. After thinking for a while, she decided to have a talk with Jake. If he didn't pester her, she would give him a sum of money to. On the contrary, she would directly kill him.
When Eva returned to the apartment in the evening, she saw Jake waiting for her downstairs from a distance. Sure enough, he wanted to pester him. She was so disgusted that she held back her anger and brought him home.
After letting Jake sit down, Eva asked him what he planned to do. Jake smiled and said, "I'll just follow you!"
Eva had to say, "How about this? I'll give you money. You can rent a house and then do business." Eva took out a card and handed it to Jake. "There are 100,000 dollars in it. I've been saving this for years. You can use it."
"Do business? I can't." Jake shook his head, but he was sneering in his heart. Eva, the b*tch, expected to drive him out with 100,000 dollars? Did she regard him as a beggar? "You'd better keep the card. Let me live in your house for a few days first. After I get familiar with the current environment, I'll apply for a job. We can live together again."
Eva had known that Jake would not be a pushover, so she sighed, "Jake, you had been in prison for so many years. In fact, I am married. It's not that I don't want to take you in, but I can't take you in."
"You're married? What's your husband'?" Jake asked deliberately.
"My husband is a sculptor. He went abroad, so I took you back."
Jake had already known about Eva's background from Quarmy. Hearing that, he hated her so much, but he didn't show it on his face. "It doesn't matter. Let me stay with you for a few days. I'll leave after he comes back."
"No, Jake. I am not alone now. I have a family. I can't take you in." Eva explained.
"Eva, you didn't say that because you disliked me, did you?" Jake looked at Eva, "I know you are a famous doctor now, and I am just a prisoner. The gap between us is too big. It is normal for you to dislike me. But I did so many things for you, and I went to jail for you. You can't be so heartless to
__ _ ii
me.
"I didn't lie to you. I'm really married. This is my husband's photo." Eva showed Jake the photo of Jim that she secretly left behind.
Jake took Jim's photo and looked at it. Then, he asked in surprise, "Is this your husband?"
"Yes."
"I knew you were lying to me. Doesn't this man have a wife? I saw the news that he went to a temple with his wife before. How did he become your husband? Eva, you can't be so ruthless!"
Eva didn't know what to say. Jake sneered, "Eva, why are you so ruthless?"
Hearing that, Eva was also annoyed. "Jake, I don't owe you anything. You can't be insatiable!"
Jake's face changed as well. "Eva, mind your words.
I haven't told my cousin her daughter's real identity yet. Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"
This was an undisguised threat. Hatred flashed in Eva's eyes. Fine, since he wanted to die so badly, she would satisfy him.
Eva didn't drive Jake away, but let him stay. She was afraid that he would do something to her, so she locked the door when she went to bed. Eva started to plan while lying in bed.
It was not easy for her to get rid of Jake. Therefore, she had to think of a way to get rid of him secretly.
Eva didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. She felt a heavy thing on her body in a daze. She tried to turn over but couldn't move.
A big hand rubbed her plump chest, and her mouth was blocked. Feeling dizzy, she felt a sharp pain in her lower body. There was something hard in her lower body. Eva suddenly woke up from the pain. She opened her eyes and looked at Jake in disbelief. She obviously locked the door. How did this b*stard come in?
Of course, she didn't know that Jake was good at picking locks, so the lock couldn't stop him at all. Jake kissed and touched her happily.
It was so disgusting! Eva struggled desperately, biting and pinching him. But how could she be Jake's opponent? After being locked up in prison for so many years, Jake finally had sex with her again. How could he let go of her? He held Eva with his hand and moved. Finally, he ejaculated contentedly.
Eva was disgusted and angry, but there was no other way. After sex, she rushed into the bathroom.
Eva retched for a while without throwing up anything. She opened the water and washed herself hard. She wanted to wash away the marks on her body, but the shame in her heart could not be washed away.
Back then, she was raped by Jake and forced herself to be with him. It had never occurred to her that after so many years, he came to her again. Eva hated him so much!
She must find a way to kill Jake, the b*stard. She couldn't wait even one minute!
After Ted left angrily that day, he never came to the hospital to see Lassie again. Lassie was really angry. She and her son had become enemies for a woman. Her son really made her disappointed.
Lassie was lying in the hospital, feeling uncomfortable. Quarmy specially hired a carer for her. In fact, the carer was watching her. Of course, Lassie did not know that. During this period, she had been tortured every day. Only this carer cared about her.
Quarmy didn't show up. He just asked Noah to visit her on the first day of her injury. Except for the driver, the other servants of the Huo family had never come to see her. Lassie was angry when she thought of this. She was not bad to then. Why were them so heartless?
The carer told Lassie, "I heard that Madam Huo was going to wake up!"
Lassie was sure that Jenny would be a vegetable for the rest of her life. When she heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked. "Really?"
"I heard it from others. They said that Madam Huo would wake up in the next few days. Mr. Huo is very happy." The carer replied.
Lassie began to panic. If Jenny woke up, what should she do? Recently, she had been in the hospital and completely lost contact with the outside world. She didn't know whether Yale and Eva knew about this matter. She didn't why but she couldn't get through to Yale during this time. She didn't know Eva's number either. She had to find a way to inform Eva.
Just as she was thinking about it, the carer spoke again, "I just heard something."
"Go ahead." Lassie had heard all the news from the carer recently, so she asked naturally.
"It's about the mayor's wife. My friend has been taking care of an official recently. She said that the mayor's wife had died for many days."
Lassie still felt strange that why she couldn't get through to Yale. She had never dreamed that Yale would die. She was so scared that she screamed.
"You have been in the Huo family for such a long time. The daughter of the mayor used to be Mr. Huo's fiancee. You must be very familiar with the mayor's wife, right?"
"We just know each other."
"I heard that she died in a car accident. She was buried secretly. Everyone is curious about this matter. Why did no one go to mourn her? This matter is really strange."
"What else did you hear?"
"I heard that the mayor's wife had done something illegal. It must have been discovered."
Lassie's heart was beating fast. Did Zoe kill Yale after knowing what she had done? If it was true, her son and Eva would not be spared. Lassie immediately called her son, but no one answered.
Thinking that Jenny would wake up soon, Lassie did not dare to stay in the hospital. While the carer was not in the hospital, she secretly left the hospital. She went straight to her son's place but no one answered her after she knocked on the door for a long time.
Ted's neighbor said that he hadn't seen Ted for a few days. Lassie panicked when she heard this. Did something happen to Ted? She left here quickly.
Lassie went to Eva's hospital. She expected to ask Eva about what happened. She didn't dare to come to Eva openly. She just hid around the parking lot and waited for Eva to appear.
Unexpectedly, she heard the security guards chatting in the parking lot. One of them said, "That day, I saw a man arguing with Dr. Xi in the parking lot. That man looked so fierce. I don't know how Dr. Xi offended him."
"I know about this. Do you still remember the pregnant old woman? She almost died of blood loss. That woman was the wife of this man. I heard that she miscarried because she was drugged and this matter had something to do with Dr. Xi. The man came to ask Dr. Xi for compensation."
Lassie's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Was the man they were talking about her son?
"How could Dr. Xi do this? How did he deal with this matter?"
"She agreed. He didn't come later."
"She must have given him money." Another security guard came over and said, "I live in the same community with the man. The man is a hooligan. The pregnant woman is his woman, a w*ore. They used to wander around in the community every day, but I haven't seen them in recent days. I guess they left here with money."
When Lassie heard this, she was absolutely sure that the man they were talking about was her son. This b*stard dared to blackmail Eva. Did he want to die?
Lassie did not dare to see Eva again. She had to ask her son clearly. If her son really did blackmail Eva, she had to take her son to apologize to Eva and explain this matter clearly.
Lassie had no place to go because she had no money. Also, one of her eyes was blind, so she had to pretend to be a beggar. During the day, she hid under the bridge to sleep. At night, she would find food in the garbage dump. She often went to Ted's place, hoping to see her son.
That night, she went to Ted's place again. She saw that there was a police car parked downstairs. A group of people gathered together. Lassie pretended to be an onlooker and walked to them.
People were talking. It was said that someone found two dead bodies in a burned house in the suburbs. The police issued a search notice. A nightclub reported that Ada disappeared. The police compared Ada's hair with the hair of the dead bodies. The dead woman was Ada, and the dead man might be Ted. Now the police went to Ted's apartment to take Ted's hair.
Lassie almost fainted when she heard that. The dead man was 90% likely to be her son. Lassie did not dare to stay and left the crowd in a daze.
How could her son die? Could it be that he blackmailed Eva? No! Ted was her son, and she and Eva were allies. Eva would not do anything to Ted, would she?
Perhaps the one who died was not her son, but someone else. Lassie still had a glimmer of hope. She had to wait for the police to confirm the identity of the dead man.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Old Mrs. Gu felt relieved after talking to Monica. Now, she only had to persuade Jadey. She didn't know whether Jadey would agree or not.
Jadey was an unmarried girl. What reason did she have to give birth to a baby for Leon?
Old Mrs. Gu felt embarrassed to talk to Jadey. A servant offered to do it for her, she agreed.
