Sue was on the hospital bed receiving an intravenous transfusion. She was shaking and struggling to breathe as she looked at the newborn daughter next to her and thought of the perilous episode earlier. She gently caressed the elder twin who was fast asleep. Her lips were pale as she spoke to Bianca, "This is the elder twin. The younger twin isn't as fully developed as the elder because of the induced labor, and the doctors are still trying to save her life…" Sue's heart wrenched when she thought of her younger daughter, as though an invisible thread wrapped around her neck. Tears fell from her eyes again. Bianca hurriedly took out a napkin and wiped Sue's tears. "Your baby will be fine, Sue. You shouldn't cry after you just delivered a baby… It's when your eyes are the weakest. What happens if you ruin your eyes? Don't think that I'm exaggerating. When I was working part-time in a hospital while studying overseas, I've seen such cases with my own eyes. There was a pregnant wom
The first feeding was indeed very painful. Sue felt as though her chest was being stabbed by a needle. She was sweating buckets because of the pain, but she had to bear with it so that her baby could receive her nourishment. The pain lasted for about half an hour before breast milk started flowing. Sue was not relieved yet. Her younger baby was still in the operating theater. What would happen to her? In the evening, news came that the younger baby was safe. When the doctor placed the baby in Sue's hands, she was about to cry. The younger sister was much smaller and weaker than the healthy elder sister. Bianca breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the baby was safe. Otherwise, Sue might not be able to handle the news. She patted the back of Sue's hand and comforted her, "Sue, the younger sister is weaker, and you'll have to feed her more. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself. Don't overwork yourself. If that happens, you won't be able to ta
Old Mr. Norman was not in the mood to play chess anymore. "Don't mention that shameful episode. That ruined our reputation! I thought I could actually be reunited with my granddaughter, but it was all a prank! It's all thanks to Jack and Queenie's adoptive daughter. Sigh!" Old Mr. Norman had given up hope on a granddaughter because of his son and daughter-in-law's health. He did not expect that his son would bring him good news, saying that they found their birth daughter that had been lost for more than twenty years. He did not believe it at first. However, information from the private detective agency showed that his granddaughter was still alive somewhere in this world. When that Julie Anderson girl was first brought back to the Norman residence, Old Mr. Norman and his wife were happy and thankful. They were happy that they found a biological heir, and they were thankful that they could be reunited with their granddaughter while they were still alive. It turned out to
The atmosphere in the room became stifling due to Queenie's sudden arrival. "… Why is it you?" Allison wanted to get up from the bed. However, Queenie pinned her down by the shoulders. Queenie smiled ambiguously as she looked at Allison's well-maintained face. "I'm not going to waste my time with you today, Allison. I only want to ask you something that happened more than twenty years ago. We've been friends for a very long time, and you should know what I want to ask. I hope that you can give me an honest answer today." Allison glanced at Queenie. "We haven't been friends since a long time ago, and I don't think we have any shared memories worth remembering." Queenie glared profoundly at Allison. "Of course, I want to know where you hid my daughter when I gave birth to her so many years ago." Allison's heart skipped a beat. She tried to calm herself down and said, "I think you've lost your mind, Queenie. I've told you that Dr. Lane disposed of your baby back then. How wo
T Corporation. The silver and black building located in the prime commercial area of A City was like a shining beacon. The man that stood in front of the window had a perfect face with sculpted features. He was dressed in a black suit, and the top two buttons of his silk shirt were unbuttoned, which gave him a masculine charm. His slender fingers were holding a cigarette, and he was looking down at the busy streets below. It was a sunny day. The wind blew gently, the clouds floated lazily, and the sun was high in the sky. One should have been in a good mood in such fine weather, but Luke was inexplicably troubled. T Corporation was forced to stop work, but Vivi Group was unaffected, and in fact, they seemed to be getting ahead. Anyone could see that someone with political power was applying pressure on T Corporation. Luke did not expect that the person was Mr. Norman, the Provincial Committee Secretary. He wondered if Mr. Norman was taking revenge on him for going b
In the private room of a restaurant. The guests guzzled bottles upon bottles of alcohol. They had to hide their true feelings and maintain smiles on their faces even though the bitter taste lingered in their mouths. Luke was drinking with Mr. Norman and his men. He had drunk a lot of alcohol. He had a high tolerance for alcohol. Though he managed to decline most of the offers to drink, there were too many people toasting him. Everyone at the table was an influential politician or government official. Luke dared not decline too many of their toasts. He felt a little tipsy, though his mind was still sound. "There's something that I'd like to ask, Mr. Norman. T Corporation has always obeyed the law, and we only start a project only after we obtain the requisite permits. We have checked every document, permit, and schedule at least three times, and we have not found any problems. I would like to know if the company has done something wrong to deserve the stop-work order." He po
T Corporation. Ever since the failed reunion banquet, Julie had been in low spirits. Usually, she would be laughing and chattering. Now, she was quiet and reserved. She did not focus on her work, and she frequently made mistakes. In the afternoon, Bianca corrected several critical figures in her work. After that, she tried asking her, "Julie, you don't seem to be in your element. How about you take a break for a few days?" Bianca felt sorry for Julie that she did not get to reunite with her birth parents because of her, but she did not regret it. If Julie was not truly Jack and Queenie's birth daughter, it was better to expose the lie now than later. Even so, Bianca was surprised to find out that she was Queenie's birth daughter. To her, the Raynes were her family. That was why she was not too keen on returning to the Norman family even after she knew the truth. Julie was different. She was obsessed with finding her birth parents. Julie shook her head and forced a s
Many people rushed over, and Bianca was nearly knocked off her feet. Fortunately, Sean was protecting her. Otherwise, an accident would have easily happened. Sean observed the surroundings while he helped Bianca walk toward a less crowded place. "You shouldn't stay here, Madam. Let's leave now." Bianca's mind was blank as she saw Queenie being held hostage. She could only see Queenie's pale face and the bloody line on her neck… Sean, seeing that Bianca was not moving, said sternly, "We have to leave, Madam. It's too dangerous here. I won't know how to tell Mr. Crawford if you get in an accident." Bianca could not breathe when she saw the thin line of blood on Queenie's neck. Her first instinct was to rush forward to danger. She did not want to see anything happen to Queenie, perhaps because they were mother and daughter. Nina stood next to Bianca, protecting her. She could not help but look in the direction in which Bianca was looking. "What are you looking at, Bian
