Wiping the smile off his face, Victor earnestly uttered, “So, the rumors are true?” Mona lowered her head and caressed her belly. “It’s just a minor surgery. He was supposed to take me for my prenatal checkup, but his appendix acted up. We decided to get it taken care of since we were at the hospital anyway.” Victor was taken aback at first, but despair quickly washed over him. “You’re… pregnant?” “Yeah.” “That’s great news. You’re having another child so soon. Since Uncle Thaddeus is in surgery, I should go with you and be with him.” Victor smiled dryly. “That’s not necessary. He’s still in surgery. You can visit once it’s over, and he’s all better.” Spreading her arms apart, Mona stopped Victor. Victor asked, “What are you nervous about, huh? I’m family. Why are you stopping me from checking on him? Maybe…” The man smiled wickedly. “Maybe you have something to hide, Aunt Mona?” “How dare you! Is that the tone you take to your aunt, Victor?” Mona angrily blurted.

“I’d advise you to quit while you’re ahead if you are fighting for the Fontaine Group’s CEO position because of me.” Mona shot Victor a chilling look and resolutely uttered, “I am Thaddeus’ wife and your aunt. This is a reality that will never change.” Victor was used to Mona’s rejections, so one more rejection did not hurt more than it already did. As far as he knew, Thaddeus had been seeking medical advice for surgery since a few months back. While Victor had no idea about the nature of Thaddeus’ illness, it was clearly a complicated case since Thaddeus sought help from medical experts as far as the States. For all Victor knew, Thaddeus could die on the operating table. Victor would never give up so long as there was a glimmer of hope to win over Mona. Victor hissed through clenched teeth, “Quit? I’ve loved you for more than a decade, and you’re telling me to quit? Tell me, Susan. How am I supposed to quit? Should I dig my heart for you to cut it to pieces so I can give u
Clingy Love Chapter 990
Thaddeus curled his lips and smiled charmingly. It was great to be alive and an awesome feeling to wake up to his beloved wife. Seeing that Thaddeus did not respond to her, Mona remembered what the doctor told her. Did the man lose his ability to talk as a result? “Hey, do you feel any pain anywhere?” Mona leaned against the bed with the upper half of her body on top of Thaddeus. She observed the man’s face at a close distance, pulling down his eyelids and pinching his nose. She smacked his face as Thaddeus chuckled. “Hey, can’t you talk anymore?” Raising a brow, Thaddeus said nothing in response. Mona furrowed her brows. “No way. Did you go mute?”It would be a problem to communicate with him. “It’s okay if you can’t talk anymore. Medical technology has made tremendous progress these days. I can help you with alternative medicine too. The most important thing is that you’re alive and well, and nothing else matters.” Intrigued by Mona’s nagging, Thaddeus smiled and gave

“It’s okay. That’s normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since it’s a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, you’ll be back to running in no time.” Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. “Leave.” Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. “Can you leave? I need some time alone,” Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. “Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the man’s vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions. Instead of doing n
Clingy Love Chapter 992
With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. “I won’t attend any media interviews before the election, but I won’t disappear from the public eye either. I don’t want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.” Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. “Hand over the camera!” “There’s nothing in the camera. Besides, it’s my personal property. Why should I give it to you?” “You clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say there’s nothing.” Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. “You’re pregnant. Think about the child.” Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. “Why do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.” Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeus’ legs and smiled dryly. “What happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?” Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi
Clingy Love Chapter 994
The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. “So you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?” It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeus’ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri
