Chapter 146

Author: Little Happiness
Ruby's eyes turned glassy as she pulled me into a tight hug. "Then I'm going to be the baby's godmother!"

"Okay." I smiled, then added, "But you have to keep this to yourself. I don't want Timothy finding out and stirring up more trouble."

Just then, my phone rang. When I saw that it was a call from the hospital, my heart lurched. For a moment, I thought something had happened to my mother.

When I answered, Mr. Clarke's excited voice burst through the receiver. "Ms. York, your mother's condition is slowly improving. It really hasn't been easy, and it's all thanks to Professor Beech checking in every few days. In fact, he came again just now! With him keeping an eye on her, she'll be just fine."

"What? Professor Beech stopped by again today?"

A mix of confusion and unease washed over me. A woman's intuition was rarely wrong, and everything in me told me that Benjamin's frequent visits were anything but normal.

After hanging up, I told Ruby about Benjamin's visits.

    I thought it might be better to go to the police station and explain everything in person. At least then I wouldn't have to endure this false accusation.But Benedict's eyes blazed with anger. "You little brat. You called the police? Josie is your wife! How could you call the police?"Timothy's icy gaze cut through me. "Yes. Anyone who harms my daughter will face the consequences. Josie, you're coming with me to the station to explain everything to the police."He started dragging me out, and no one could stop him. His grip on my wrist was so tight that it hurt, and I couldn't break free.Suddenly, a deep, commanding voice came from behind. "Stop!"Timothy froze, disbelief written all over his face. Isaac descended the stairs, calm and composed, and walked straight up to us.Timothy narrowed his eyes. "Mr. Shore, don't think that just because you show up at my grandfather's house and claim to be an elder, you can interfere in my family's business. My family matters are none of yo

    I changed the topic and asked, "Diana, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"Diana coughed lightly, clutching her chest. "Same as before."Isaac saw this and said, "Mom, let me help you upstairs to rest.""Alright," she replied, her face pale. Before leaving, she turned to me and said, "Josie, go ahead and continue with dinner. I'll rest for a while."Benedict's face was full of worry and sadness as he watched them leave. I tried to comfort him. "Benedict, medical technology is so advanced now. Diana will be fine."He sighed. "We only found out when it was already in the late stage."He sighed a few more times. "Isaac may seem cold, but he has a warm heart. He has been visiting Diana regularly over the last few days. Otherwise, this would have been a lifetime regret for her."As we were talking, a maid rushed in, clearly panicked. "Benedict, Timothy is here. He brought a woman with him. It looks like Yasmin. They both seem very aggressive."No sooner had the words l

    To apologize to Isaac in person, I accepted Benedict's invitation and went to the Green residence that evening.After changing my shoes at the entrance, I looked up and saw Isaac sitting on the living room couch. He had one arm casually resting on the armrest as he flipped through a magazine. His black shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his sharp, defined forearms.As I approached, he looked up from behind his glasses. His gaze was cool and unreadable. He looked so relaxed that it was hard to believe that he had been the one to message me that day, asking me to attend the dinner.He didn't seem like he was going to say anything, so I awkwardly broke the silence. "Where are Benedict and Diana?""In the kitchen," he said, keeping his words short. The conversation stalled again. He shifted slightly on the couch, as if signaling for me to sit.I braced myself and sat next to him, my fingers fidgeting with the strap of my bag. Finally, I said, "Issac, I didn't skip t

    Christine stopped texting me and called me instead. She firmly said, "This article has to acknowledge you. You wrote it, and I'm not taking credit for your work."That was how she was. She was meticulous about details, but fair and professional.I smiled. "Okay. Do whatever you think is best.""Josie, are you planning to go back to being a full-time housewife? Did you feel the workplace was too competitive, so you decided to step back?" Her tone was full of worry.I laughed. "And what if that were true?"She paused for a long moment before saying, "If that's the case, then I'm really disappointed. I thought you and I were the same kind, battling it out in the workplace. I never expected you to give up so quickly."Her words actually warmed me a little. I explained, "Don't worry. I'm just like you. Once I see a man's true nature, I never look back. I have another goal I'm focused on right now, and it's keeping me busy, so I've put work aside for the time being.""Another goal? Is

    When Daphne saw the cake in my hand, her eyes lit up. "Wow, it's so beautiful! But why is it smaller than last time?"I looked at her pale little face and felt an ache in my chest. I gently stroked her soft hair and said, "Daphne, once you get better, I'll make you a big one. But for now, if you want to eat this cake, you'll need to finish your meal first."As I spoke, I opened the kids' meal I had prepared. Daphne kept staring at the cake and pouted. "But I don't want anything except the cake.""Try one bite, okay?" I picked up a piece of carrot and added, "If you don't like it, you don't have to eat more. Just give it a try."She opened her mouth and ate the piece. Carrots had always been my favorite vegetable, and I thought that if there truly were a bond between mother and daughter, maybe Daphne would like them too.I watched her eagerly. To my surprise, after that one bite, her appetite returned. "I want another bite of pasta," she said.I couldn't hold back a smile. I sat

    The next morning, I got up with dark circles under my eyes. My phone was completely silent. Isaac hadn't responded to me. I wondered if he was angry.I had no choice but to send him a sincere message. "Isaac, I'm truly sorry. Yesterday, Daphne suffered from food poisoning at kindergarten. It happened so suddenly that I was completely focused on her and forgot about the engagement. I'll make sure to apologize to you in person another day."I waited 20 minutes, but the message remained unread. I had no energy to think about anything else, so I went back to City Hospital.Daphne had already been transferred. Even with my reporter credentials, I couldn't find out which hospital she had been moved to.Just as I was preparing to go to the Grant residence to find Timothy, my phone rang. It was him calling. "Are you free now?" His voice was low and reluctant."Do you need something?" I asked.He said quietly, "Daphne hasn't had much appetite. She wants the cake you made. If it's conven
