Dylan's Dad

"Hurry, Dr. Jones! Mr. Dylan is getting worse!"My body shuddered uncontrollably as the butler Levi's voice boomed in my ears, as the agony of being consumed in a blaze still lingers on every inch of my skin.Even now, I could still hear my twins' screams of despair echoing in that basement.On top of that, I was caught by surprise. "Dr. Jones…?"No one addressed me as that ever since I married Dylan Sullivan.That was when Levi sighed. "It's supposed to be his birthday. Heaven knows how this happened…"I stopped in my tracks.So I had been reborn.Taking a deep breath, I turned toward Levi and said, "Get Lily Bright."That left Levi stunned. "But, doc—""Get Lily Bright!" I repeated bluntly. "Or Dylan might die."I then watched as Levi hurried away, clutching my chest as my heart pounded.In my past life, the instant I opened that door, Dylan would leap on top of me like a raging beast, pinning me down.Levi had been right outside, but completely ignored my cries.Later

My lips curled up in an icy smile—Dylan would be welcoming a few brothers soon, it seemed.-Meanwhile, John headed abroad on a business trip soon after he woke up, only sending me a text before he left: [Wait for my return. Don't worry—I will take responsibility.]I didn't put much thought into it—even if taking responsibility meant giving me money, he would definitely marry me once my pregnancy test came back.However, I just didn't expect the wait would be such torture.Every servant seemed to have seen the moment I left John's study with my clothes unkempt.They all presumed I would get together with Dylan, only for him to announce Lily as his fiancee the next day, even telling the servants to give her special treatment.As such, they were left gossiping among each other."Then who did Dr. Jones hook up with?""Who else could it be? Must be some man she just met. She really messed up big time now, since the family forbids the servants hooking up without approval.""You th

Dylan paused, his hand and the hammer hovering mid air as a flicker of panic showed in his eyes.Still, he soon hid it and, "You're back already, Dad? Please don't misunderstand—Wendy pushed Lily off the stairs…"However, John's return was unquestionably my lifeline and I rasped through the pain, "No, I didn't… She fell on her own…""How dare you say that, when Lily's in this state!" Dylan bellowed, glaring at me furiously. "See, Dad?! She's just so evil! She mustn't be allowed to stay in this house!"I laughed coolly as I argued, "You're simply sublime when it comes to twisting facts, Dylan. I never pushed her—the camera footage will be my proof. Also, who do you think you are, breaking my finger?! Some liege lord who can do as he pleases?! Physical abuse is against the law!"Lily quickly turned tearfully towards John, "I'm alright, Dad… It's not Dr. Jones' fault, I just slipped—"Smack!John slapped Dylan audibly across the face, his rage threatening to set a fire in the room.

Dylan's embarrassment swelled into rage as he pushed Lily away. "Piss off! Go get checked if you want! There are no issues with me!"Upstairs, I chuckled.Dylan had always been that prideful, just as he must be feeling a sense of urgency now.After all, it was the Sullivans' family rule that even the family head's son could only inherit the family estate if he could produce an heir himself.At that point, he was no more than a figurehead deputy CEO.To no surprise, I soon received word that Dylan had been finding himself multiple lovers, even making it sound pretty by calling it "increasing the odds."Having found out about that juicy piece of gossip, why wouldn't I let slip about that to Lily?After I sent a proxy to spill the beans, I waited for the start of the drama.In fact, it happened the next day—Dylan was in the middle of a board meeting when Lily barged in, bellowing, "Dylan Sullivan! How dare you take up mistresses! How could you do this to me?!"Dylan's face turned

However, John still ended up dying in that accident…Tugging on his hand, I said, "Darling, I had a nightmare… You were in an accident because the brakes malfunctioned…"John couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh, silly—you must be getting paranoid from the hormones."However, I kept going on stubbornly, "My foresight has always been accurate. You have to check the car every time you leave the house—especially the brakes."Smiling tenderly, he tapped me on the nose. "Alright. I don't believe in superstition, but I will do what you say."Meanwhile, Dylan and Lily were sent abroad to train in one of John's company's subsidiaries, and life hadn't been kind to them.John wanted to make sure Dylan couldn't hurt my children, and before they left, I 'kindly' reminded John that Dylan and Lily should register their marriage before they went abroad.John was all too happy to enforce the idea.And once abroad, Dylan suffered setbacks at every turn, and his career stalled.Eventually, he started
