Hunter Shield thought that he would be happy once Emlyn Young agreed to his request. However, he was not. Emlyn was not willing to leave hers and Sean Morris's child behind but was willing to give up her child with him. She must really hate him.That afternoon, Hunter took Jenna for a swim while Emlyn was taking a nap. Hunter floated in the water, placing the child on his chest. Jenna flapped her hands happily in the water and laughed gayly.Jenna kicked her little legs around in the water as Hunter looked at her long lashes and puckered lips. She looked just like Emlyn did as a child.He should have a child with Emlyn. However, compared to a child, Emlyn was more important."Jenna, say Daddy.""Daddy." Jenna laughed happily. Hunter lifted the child by her armpits and let her float in the water, kicking her legs wildly.Hunter looked at Jenna and said, "Shall Daddy teach you how to dive?"Jenna nodded."Jenna, breathe like Daddy!" Hunter shouted before plunging the child into t
Emlyn Young did not want to hear what he had to say because she did not believe him. She had been completely brainwashed by the hypnotist that Sean Morris had hired to provide her with psychological treatment. She thought that Sean was the only trustworthy person.Meanwhile, Hunter Shield was just a bastard who had abandoned her when he found out that she was barren.If he tried to explain things to her and they end up fighting because of it, he was afraid that she might become agitated and be reminded of the anger and hatred of the past. It might affect her medical condition. He could only do what Emlyn wanted even if she did not believe him.Emlyn knew that when he talked about the pros and cons, he was just saying that she was more important than having an heir for the Shield family. But if that was the case, then why had he divorced her without a single bit of hesitation when he heard the fake news that she was barren? Was she just a reproductive instrument that existed to bear
Hunter Shield went to work, leaving Emlyn Young and Jenna at home. They did not go out all morning. Eve Young strode up to the front door.The security guard was stunned. Eve held up the fan in her hand and looked somewhat impatient. Even though she rarely showed such an expression, the guard knew how indulgent Hunter was to Emlyn, so he did not dare to slight her. After all, it was very hot in July in An City. He immediately opened the door and said, "Madam, did you leave from the back door earlier?"Eve made a sound of affirmation and went in.When Emlyn woke up and went to the nursery to look for Jenna, she realized that she was not in the room. She thought that the nanny had taken Jenna to the garden, but after searching around the house, she still could not find Jenna.Emlyn picked up the phone and called Hunter. "Did you come back in the afternoon?"Emlyn had never taken the initiative to call Hunter. When he picked up the call, he was delighted and immediately left the room
Emlyn Young crawled into every nook and cranny that could possibly hide a child while simultaneously calling Jenna's name piteously. "Jenna, stop playing hide and seek with me, did I punish you unreasonably before? You don't want to see me anymore? I'll apologize to you because I lost all my memories. Next time you should just play with Daddy and ignore me, alright? Jenna!"Emlyn's distressed state tugged violently at Hunter Shield's heartstrings.She firmly believed that she had hurt Jenna, oblivious to the truth of the matter where Hunter was the real culprit.If he had not lost all moral reasoning and forced Eve Young to undergo plastic surgery, the situation would not have gotten out of hand.Hunter grabbed Emlyn's shoulder and gently guided her away from the window while he said reassuringly, "Emlyn, I've made a police report and commanded my men to hunt for her, so stop blaming yourself because you're not to be held accountable."The tenacity she had once used to confront hi
Hunter grasped the insinuation of Emlyn losing her will to live and his chest tightened in dread. He bounded up the steps and his breathing was heavy as the sparks of fury in his eyes incinerated all kind intentions of wanting to do good for Emlyn and their child.Just as Sean had mentioned, Jenna was Emlyn's only hope, without Jenna, Emlyn would not survive either...Hunter set Emlyn down and wrapped her snugly in the blanket before exiting the room. The hostility that radiated off him instilled fear but his bodyguard braved the trepidation and trailed after him. Hunter declared coldly, "If you can't find Young Miss, all who were mistaken will not be spared!"Eve hid herself and Jenna in a deserted warehouse in the suburbs. Meanwhile, Jenna caressed Eve's cheeks repeatedly and planted a kiss on Eve's cheeks before releasing a series of giggles.Eve knew her voice was distinguishable from Emlyn's so she had kept her mouth shut to not alert the child.She was momentarily stunned by
Jenna spun and attempted to flee but Eve Young seized her leg to hamper her. The disturbing sight depicted a child, who lacked the ability to walk, fumbling about on the coarse cement floor while her head became drenched in sweat and streaks of blood stained her hand as she scratched at the floor."You want to escape? Your d*mn mother had the tendency to bolt as well, running all over the world. To think you inherited this abhorrent trait as well." Eve discarded the knife in her hands and gritted her teeth as she smacked Jenna's rear time and time again. Jenna could only scream for her mother as great sobs escaped her while she remained locked in Eve's grasp.Jenna's body was marked with patches of purple and green bruises while her face was coated with layers of dust. Her face was smeared with dirty streaks of blood, sweat, and tears.Jenna could not produce any more sounds and the cries that escaped her throat were raspy as she sat obediently on the floor and glanced longingly at
"I want Emlyn Young dead!" The plausibility that Emlyn was still alive had never crossed Eve Young's mind and she had only grudgingly consented to be Emlyn's replacement with the presumption that Emlyn was dead. However, to her horror, Emlyn was still alive and her world had come crashing down as if she had failed her life mission.Jenna fixated her eyes on Hunter Shield and extended her arms as she pouted dismally, too frightened to raise her voice. "Daddy, hug me. Everywhere hurts and I'm hungry..."Hunter's suppressed emotions were on the verge of spilling over and his eyes reddened. Jenna obviously regarded him as a pillar of support, endearingly calling him 'Daddy', but he had failed her in her most urgent moment of need."Jenna, be a good girl and stay put. I'll take you to grab a bite to eat soon."Jenna reluctantly dropped her hands to hug herself as she sulked and sullenly agreed, "I won't move, I'll wait here for Daddy."Eve was blinded by hatred at the intimacy between
"Jenna, finish your milk and I'll take you to eat some tasty food, alright?"Jenna was still sniveling as she sucked on the nipple of the bottle. After taking two sips, she pulled the bottle out and gazed at Hunter Shield with residual milk at the corners of her mouth as she whimpered, "Dad, Daddy, when, when the monster caught, caught me, I hoped for Daddy, Daddy to turn... into Superman and come save me..."His eyes were swollen from constantly holding back his tears. "Jenna, I'll take good care of you from now on and nobody will dare to harm you. I'll destroy any monster who attempts to hurt you again."The doctor was appalled and tears welled up in his eyes as he examined Jenna. "This atrocious criminal! How could one bear to hurt a child to such an extent!"Hunter gritted his teeth as droplets of grief threatened to surge from his eyes. Revulsion and loathing sat in his heart as he kept silent, unwilling to let his shaky voice betray his emotions.Jenna lifted her uninjured h
