"Huh? Seriously?" Even though his head was spinning from lack of sleep and hunger, Jack could still hear what Brandon was saying."I just watched the hospital CCTV footage. Even though he was wearing a mask and a hat, I still recognized his posture. I injured his left palm, and in the CCTV footage, he was seen wearing a bandage," Brad explained excitedly.Jack raised his left hand, asking for a break. His right hand massaged his dizzy head."Are you okay?" Brandon looked at him with a worried expression."Please take me to the cafeteria. I need coffee and breakfast. Omelet and sandwich," he said.Without hesitation, the two men immediately escorted him to the hospital cafeteria. "Why aren't you feeling dizzy like me?" Jack asked in surprise when they arrived at the cafeteria and immediately ordered food. "I managed to sleep before Elena complained of stomach pain," Brad replied. "I slept after checking Nicklaus's condition," Brandon added.Although breakfast took a while to arri
"Honey? Hey, why are you crying?" Jack hurriedly approached Elena, who reached out her hand to him.The woman even kissed his hand as their hands clasped together."Hey, what's wrong? I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you earlier. I thought you wouldn't wake up. I planned to come back as soon as possible," he said. His hand stroked his wife's messy hair.Elena didn't say anything, but cried even harder. The woman hugged him tightly, as if afraid he would leave her again."Elena, listen to me. The doctor said you shouldn't stress. Our baby's heartbeat is weak, and that could be dangerous for him. It's dangerous for you too. Please, don't be sad anymore. I'll always be with you from now until our baby is born," he said seriously. Elena's tears stopped immediately. It seemed to work. The woman wiped her wet cheeks and looked up. Her nose was red, and her eyes were teary. Jack kissed his wife's forehead tenderly. "Really? You won't leave me again, will you?" Elena asked doubtfully.Jac
How could Elena complain of pain? Was it because he left the woman without saying goodbye? Was it because his wife didn't want to be left behind anymore? He heard that pregnant women were sensitive. Perhaps because he secretly left his wife, Elena started thinking all sorts of things.All of this was his fault. He shouldn't have spent time alone with his wife, especially at night. "Who is the patient's husband?" a doctor asked as he stepped out of the ward. "I am, doctor." Jack immediately approached the brown-haired female doctor, who was around Anne's age. "Please come to my office. There's something we need to discuss," the doctor said.He thought Alan or maybe his father-in-law would come with him, but they didn’t. Only his father-in-law entered the ward, while Alan stayed outside. Why didn’t he see Brad anywhere? He had specifically asked him to watch over Elena while he was out. “Please sit down,” the doctor said once they arrived. Jack sat obediently. His heart was re
"Where is he?" Jack asked Brandon, who was waiting for him in front of a VIP hospital room. "Sorry I couldn't get out earlier. Elena asked me to stay with her while she slept." Brandon snorted. "Are you trying to make me jealous?" "Find yourself a new wife if you can't stand it," Jack replied."He's being treated intensively for a heart attack," Brandon answered, nodding toward Nicklaus's hospital room."He should know better. Has my father been here yet?"The man nodded. "With your mother. I don't know what they were talking about, but your mother looked angry when she came out."Jack shrugged. "She doesn't like her father-in-law. My grandfather still hopes my father will marry Talia Jepson. But my father chose my mother instead." "Of course. Your mother is much more beautiful. I heard she once won an international beauty pageant?" Brandon looked Jack up and down. "No wonder you're so handsome. Making the women scream with joy." "C'mon! Stop talking nonsense. By the way, what
"I'm just being realistic. We live in the real world, not in a movie. What guarantees that a man who was once madly in love with a woman will suddenly fall in love with you in such a short time? If you hadn't been involved in a scandal, would you have fallen in love with him? Would he have even looked at you?"Alan's words pierced her heart. True, could a man turn away that quickly? Shouldn't it take a long time to forget one's first love?Reality was painful. But Alan was right. People said that a man's love for his first love never faded. After that, he just went through the rest of his life."I'm saying this not to scare you or provoke you. I should have said this before you got married in Norway. But unfortunately, I was very busy. You know how beautiful Claire is. If you don't change your appearance, will he even notice you?"Elena’s legs felt weak, so she sat down on a chair near the kitchen counter. Her chest felt tight.“I’m sorry I have to say this, Elena. I care about you. I
Eyewitnesses. Yes, of course there were eyewitnesses. Elena felt foolish. There were many servants and Matthew's subordinates in the mansion. Not to mention the CCTV cameras. Why had she been so careless? But why, even now, had no police come to arrest her?The anxiety made her head spin. Why did she have to deal with the law? She didn't want to end up in prison in this condition..."Elena!"Her eyes widened in surprise at the shout. Two hands cupped her face."What have you been thinking about all this time? What's bothering you? You're always daydreaming. Don't overthink things. You're pregnant." Jack looked at her with a puzzled expression. Elena immediately grabbed the man's hand. "I won't go to jail, will I?" "Why would you go to jail?" "I killed Matthew Patt. Is that why David is holding a grudge against me?" Her eyes darted around restlessly. She shouldn't have acted so recklessly. "Hey, listen to me! Focus!" Jack ordered.Elena obeyed the man. Her eyes locked onto her h
