Chapter 151

Auteur: Deerstream
After entering the observation room, Talia saw Henry lying flat on the hospital bed. He appeared to be asleep.

But his sleep wasn't deep. He opened his eyes when he heard the faint sound of movement.

When he saw that it was Talia, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes at being caught in such a state. He tried to sit up, but Talia quickly pressed down on his hand. "Henry, don't move around."

Nevertheless, Henry still pushed himself to sit up. Leaning against the bed frame, he looked at Talia, a bitter smile playing on his lips. "You've caught me at my worst."

Talia's eyes reddened. She lowered her gaze and asked, "Why would you say that? It's because of me that you—"

Henry interrupted her. "Did Christian go to see you?"

Talia gave a faint acknowledgment. "Yes."

Henry's hand was in a cast, and there were bruises on his face, though they had faded considerably. He had wanted to avoid Talia, but she'd still seen him in this miserable state.

Henry smiled faintly and asked in a

  • When She Turns Her Back   Chapter 179

    Talia froze when Yvonne pushed her away, her mind a blur. She was still burning with fever, and her body was weak, so when Yvonne shoved her, she stumbled aside.Yvonne cried out, "Daddy! Daddy…"Christian rushed over, embraced her, and continued to soothe her. "I'm here. You'll be fine, Yvonne."Yvonne clung to his clothes. Tears streamed down her face as she asked through sobs, "Daddy, where's Nancy? I want Nancy!"Christian's heart ached. He pressed his cheek against hers and spoke softly, "I'll take you to see her this weekend, okay?"But Yvonne fussed, "No, I want to go now! Daddy, I want to hear her play the piano for me. I want her to tell me stories. Daddy, I want her to stay with me."Hearing Yvonne's cries broke Christian. He agreed to whatever she asked. "Okay. I'll call her and have her come stay with you, alright?"Yvonne stopped crying immediately. "Okay."Talia sat at the foot of the bed, listening to their conversation. Tears slipped silently down her cheeks. Sh

    Christian frowned. "What caused it?"Talia replied, "Spicy food, snacks, cold food or drinks, overeating, and irregular sleep can all trigger it."He lowered his eyes. "I see."Seeing him like that, she suddenly remembered something. "Christian, actually, I wanted to talk to you about this."He looked at her and gave a faint hum.Talia's expression grew serious. "I don't care who's taking care of Yvonne, but she's still just four years old. She shouldn't be eating things she shouldn't or staying up late. She needs to go to bed early, wake up early, and get plenty of exercise."Thinking about Nancy's concerts made Talia's blood boil.Nancy's shows were often at night, and Yvonne stayed up late just to support her.How could a four-year-old handle that?When Talia finished speaking, Christian said, "If that's the case, you should quit your job and stay home to take care of Yvonne."Her eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say?"He replied, "If you think I'm not doing a goo

    Running a fever and feeling dizzy, Talia only started to react when Christian reached out to her.But by the time she tried to protect herself, his hand had already slipped under her clothes.So she wasn't just holding onto her shirt. She was clutching his hand as well.She reacted strongly, hugging her body tightly. Christian's hand followed her movement and landed right on a certain curve of hers.His touch was hot, burning against her cold skin.Talia was stunned. When she finally registered what was happening, she tried to pull away, but Christian beat her to speaking. "Talia, do you have no shame?"She tilted her face up to him. Her cheeks were flushed with a soft pink, and her eyes were hazy, like she was still not fully awake.Christian looked down at her, drawn into the depths of those dark eyes. At that moment, many wildly out-of-place images flashed through his mind.They were images of Talia lying beneath him, trying to please him, holding onto his waist, and calling

    Yvonne stayed in the ward for observation for an hour. Seeing no other symptoms, Talia took her back to Jubilee Manor.Once they got back, Talia helped Yvonne wash up and changed her into fresh pajamas.Only after Yvonne had fallen asleep did Talia finally go to shower and do her skincare routine.Worried about Yvonne, she decided to sleep on the couch in Yvonne's room.Maybe because she had gotten caught in the rain earlier, Talia kept dreaming. She dreamed of all the sacrifices she had made for Christian, of her falling out with her family, and even of Yvonne calling her a bad mom.In a drowsy haze, she seemed to see Christian leaning over her. His mouth was moving as if he were speaking, but she couldn't hear a single thing.A second later, she saw him bend down. One of his hands slipped under her back, and the other under her legs.He carried her up, but Talia had no idea where he was taking her.It felt like a dream, yet somehow real.That night, Talia slept deeply. When

    When Talia returned to the hospital with the soup, Yvonne was scrolling through videos on Emma's phone. Whatever she was watching made her smile.Emma saw Talia walk in and said gently, "Ms. Yvonne, Mrs. Lane is back."Yvonne quickly turned off the screen and sat up in bed. "Mommy."Talia's pajamas were completely soaked through, but she'd been careful to protect the soup container, afraid it might spill or get cold. She handed it to Emma. "Emma, can you feed Yvonne?"Seeing Talia drenched from head to toe, Emma felt a pang of ache in her chest. When she spoke again, her voice came out hoarse. "Mrs. Lane, you should go change your clothes."Talia hummed in acknowledgment without saying anything else.Yvonne noticed her mother's wet clothes. Part of her wanted to ask her if she was okay, but then she remembered what had happened this afternoon at school—Talia hadn't come to pick her up. Thus, she decided against it.There were spare clothes in the car. So, Talia headed back outsi

    Yvonne wasn't doing well. Her face had gone pale, so Talia decided to keep her in the emergency room for a while until she felt better.She got prescriptions for digestive medicine and probiotics. Emma brought a glass of water, and Talia helped Yvonne take the medication.After taking the medicine, Yvonne was unable to fall back asleep. She leaned against the bed's headboard, looking at Talia weakly. "Mommy, I'm hungry."Of course she was hungry. She'd thrown up everything in her stomach, after all.Talia's heart ached. She brushed her hand across Yvonne's forehead. "What do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you.""I want some chicken soup," Yvonne said softly.Talia smiled gently. "Okay."She told Emma to stay with Yvonne, grabbed the umbrella, and left the hospital. Talia had been rushing around so frantically that it wasn't until she stepped outside that she realized she was still in her pajamas, her hair a complete mess. She looked like a disaster.She'd gone about half a
