Chapter 917

Author: Sienna Yates
When Thomas tried Carter's number, no one answered.

What was going on today? Why was no one picking up? He wondered.

On his second attempt, the call finally connected.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Biggs's assistant. May I know who's calling, and what business you have with him?"

"This is Thomas," Thomas replied. "I wonder if you still remember me, Simon?"

Simon's memory was exceptional. Without much effort, he recalled Thomas at once. Thomas's looks were far too striking—nearly impossible to forget.

    Thomas's proposal cut through the haze like a shaft of light. It felt like there was no better solution. She and Thomas couldn't remain in this stalemate forever.Sharon nodded. "Alright."Thomas promised her that once her body fully recovered, they could proceed with the hypnosis.A week later, Sharon was discharged from the hospital. During her stay, both Carmen and Carter came to visit.Carmen couldn't help thinking that Thomas was not only handsome but also brilliant. Any child he fathered would surely be both beautiful and intelligent. As for the Ferrero family's hereditary conditions… both she and Sharon tacitly agreed not to mention them. Worrying now wouldn't change anything—perhaps the child wouldn't inherit them at all.Carmen was in high spirits knowing Sharon was pregnant.Carter, on the other hand, felt a complex mix of emotions. As a man, he knew that once Sharon gave birth to this child, even if Thomas truly forgot, their ties could never be completely severed.Be

    "Of course," Carmen said, "my recommendation that you keep the child is entirely from Thomas's perspective. From your side, Sharon, having a child out of wedlock will invite criticism—both for you and for the baby."And more importantly, the future is uncertain. The chances may be small, but there's always the possibility that he could fall for someone else or marry another woman for some reason. So this remains a difficult choice and a heavy decision for you."She glanced toward the doorway. Earlier, when she had come to see Sharon, Sharon had sent Thomas out."And," Carmen continued, "if you decide to terminate the pregnancy now, Thomas is unlikely to agree."Sharon asked softly, "Does Thomas like children?"Carmen shook her head. "Honestly, I don't know. He never spoke about it before. But he's always been patient with both your son and with Matty. That suggests he probably does care for children."When Thomas found out you were pregnant… did he seem happy?"Sharon nodded.C

    Lately, Thomas had been completely consumed by preparations. Now that Sharon was carrying their child, all of that planning was no longer necessary.The gentle aroma of porridge lingered in the air.Thomas's gaze burned like a fierce flame, as if he could scorch her through and through.Sharon could no longer bear it. She opened her eyes again.Thomas tilted his head slightly and asked, "You're awake? Sharon… do you want to sleep a little longer?"Sharon no longer felt sleepy. "No."He picked up the bowl from the table and tested the porridge's temperature. "Since you're not going to sleep, eat a little first."He brought the spoon to her lips. Though Sharon had little appetite, thinking of the child inside her, she still took a bite.Her stomach wasn't strong. After eating about a third, she couldn't continue.Thomas didn't force her. Instead, he quietly finished the rest of the porridge himself.Seeing this, Sharon asked, "You haven't eaten anything all this time?""Mhm,"

    Sharon's lips moved, but after all the harsh words she had thrown at Thomas before, she couldn't bring herself to speak a single one now. She lowered her head, silent.Seeing this, the coldness in Thomas's eyes softened, and the intimidating aura surrounding him dissipated completely.His voice regained its gentle tone. "Sharon, your fever hasn't gone down. You need to drink more water."He poured a glass and handed it to her. "Drink some."Sharon's mind was a jumble. She kept her eyes closed, refusing to acknowledge him.After a moment, she felt something cool and soft pressed gently against her lips. At the same time, a warm liquid flowed into her mouth.Her eyes shot open, and she saw his handsome face so close it made her heart skip.Her pupils dilated, and a flush of pink crept across her pale cheeks from embarrassment and irritation. She instinctively pulled back, letting the warm water drip onto the bedsheet.Thomas didn't get angry. He leaned in and softly kissed the wa

    When Sharon regained consciousness, she faintly heard voices around her."High fever caused by overexertion… Also, Miss McKinzie is already one month pregnant. Her body is a little weak, and the fetus is unstable. I'll prescribe some medication to support the pregnancy. For the next three months, it's best to avoid sexual activity, as it could easily cause a miscarriage… This is a topical ointment for bruising; apply it morning and evening."Sharon blinked, dazed, and tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness almost made her collapse again."Sharon." Thomas hurried to her side. "You're awake?"She murmured a response, taking in her surroundings. To her surprise, she was in a hospital."What… happened to me?" she asked.Thomas's dark eyes darkened further. "You had a fever.""Fever?"The dizziness dulled her reactions, but even in her fog, she remembered everything. Her pupils reflected the familiar, handsome face of the man beside her.Thinking of the man last night—the one who

    Sharon's smile was cold, sharp, and laced with irony."Thomas," she said, "to me, you were nothing more than a knife in my hand—a tool to help me rise. But you're far too sharp. You can hurt others, and you can easily hurt yourself. So… I have to let you go."Thomas stared at her. "Sharon, I'm not someone you can take or discard at will."Sharon's gaze remained steady. "No, Thomas. It's you who wants too much."He asked softly, almost pleading, "So… you still want to leave me?"Her fingers clenched tightly.It was as if his question implied that merely saying she didn't want him would make everything go back to how it was. But she had already crossed so many lines with him.Her lashes lowered. "I've already agreed to remarry Carter."A strange light flickered in his dark eyes. "All this time, I've been waiting for you to reach out, waiting for you to come and soothe me. I would have forgiven everything. But you… you didn't come. Not once. Instead, you've been with Carter every

    "I heard from that assistant… sounds like his boss wants to pave the way for his lover. That's why he's willing to throw down ten million."In their circle, it wasn't rare—wealthy men dropping obscene amounts of money and resources just to prop up their lovers.Sharon had turned down offers like t

    Kelly cast a sharp glance at Sharon, her eyes gleaming like blades."I'd rather give up everything than watch a murderer walk free."Carter's brows drew together involuntarily. "Kelly, calm down.""You're seriously injured. How do you expect me to stay calm?!" Kelly's eyes reddened, and her voice

    Even if Sharon were to present official identification under the name Jenna, Carter and Kelly could still easily dismiss it as fake.As the eldest daughter of the Blakely family, Ginny had publicly acknowledged Sharon's identity. Yet these two refused to believe her. They clung to their skepticism,

    He was merely testing her limits.Had she shown the slightest sign of backing down, Carter would have pushed even harder.Sharon didn't waste another word. Instead, she reached into her bag and pulled out a stack of sheet music and a small portable player."These are my original compositions," sh
