Chapter 300

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Evan pressed Beverly down into the chair.

"Ms. Sinclair, it'll only take a few minutes," Marcus said, glancing nervously at Evan's stony expression. "Considering how my wife helped you before, I hope you won't make things difficult for me."

Beverly remembered how Ava had taken a huge risk to switch out the abortion pill back then. She really had been genuinely kind.

Beverly's heart softened, and she lay back on the bed. Marcus promptly attached the electrodes for the EKG to her chest and limbs.

After giving birth to Esther, Beverly had undergone heart surgery, which had been a complete success. She no longer had any heart problems.

Still, as she watched the monitor slowly trace the rhythm of her heartbeat, she suddenly felt a wave of nervousness. She crossed her hands her chest. The movement didn't go unnoticed by Evan.

Suddenly, the door swung open with a loud bang. Beverly looked over in shock, and the electrodes slipped off her body, prompting the EKG machine to beep loudly.

    Time seemed to stand still in that moment.As James met Beverly's gaze, he closed the laptop and set it aside. He then reached up to brush away her tousled hair, his calm gaze deepening slightly as it lingered on her delicate, fair face.Was it time, he wondered, to confess and ask her to give him her heart?Just then, his phone rang. It was Wendell.He lowered his head and kissed her soft, pink lips. "Let me take this call first.""Okay." Beverly leaned obligingly against James' shoulder, idly toying with the exquisite, finely crafted marble buttons on his shirt.James answered the call, his eyes resting on Beverly's serene profile as she fiddled with his shirt."Chief Bronson, the truck driver has disappeared from the hospital. This was a planned assassination. We don't know yet whether the target was you or Mrs. Bronson."A faint frown touched James' brow as he recalled the few minutes he'd left Beverly alone in the passenger seat outside the hospital earlier. If the truck h

    "Excuse me?" Damien felt bewildered. "What nonsense are you talking about? There's no way I like Dr. Parker.""Then why ask about her?" William pressed.Damien frowned at William. "It's like I'm talking to a wall here."With William interrupting and James staying detached and unresponsive, Damien gave up and walked away to find Timothy instead.William idly pushed the chips around the table as he watched Damien leave. "What kind of scientist is he, anyway? I thought they were supposed to be smart."James furrowed his brow, his expression cool and distant.William took the sleeping Esther from James' arm and held her close. He knew that even though James was injured badly, he didn't want to let anyone worry."He should know that both of you have a taste for the unconventional, airheaded types. If he doesn't care for classic beauties, why would you be interested in them either?" William muttered under his breath.William's brow furrowed with a hint of melancholy at the sight of J

    "Jake, that empty-headed—" Anna said."Hey now, he's your brother, and he's not that stupid either," Beverly interrupted.Anna couldn't help but laugh when she saw Beverly imitating her way of speaking. Could it be that she was starting to like Beverly a little? She did really have a thing for powerful people, after all.…Esther climbed onto James' lap, pulling his attention from Beverly's retreating figure as he gently picked her up."Daddy, I'm sleepy.""Go to sleep, then," James murmured, patting her back.Nestling against him, Esther closed her large, dark eyes. Her long, curly lashes cast a soft shadow as they fluttered down.Truthfully, Esther didn't look much like Beverly. If anything, she resembled Evan more. Thus, James often felt a sense of unease whenever he looked at Esther.Damien watched the tender scene between James and Esther with jealousy and frustration simmering inside him."Chief Bronson, my phone—"Just then, William and Tabitha walked in from outside,

    Beverly widened her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, unable to hide her surprise. "How did you know?"It was because James, of all people, had thrown someone else's phone. It sounded almost unbelievable, and yet Anna had guessed it.James tried to cover Beverly's mouth, but it was already too late. He looked at her, half-amused and half exasperated.Anna crooked a finger at Beverly, and the latter slipped out of James' arms to lean closer to her."He was jealous because he likes you," Anna whispered very softly.A shy expression spread across Beverly's face, and even her voice turned gentle and coy. "It really seems that way.""Yeah, it's true," Anna replied with a smile.In truth, she didn't know whether James was genuinely falling for Beverly or if it was just a man's possessiveness at play.To Anna, James was extremely powerful and frightening. He'd directly orchestrated Gwen's life by marrying her off without the slightest hesitation. Just thinking about being in Gwen's shoe

    "That's true. I'll have Howie ask Tabby out more often," Bernice said. "If Tabby really does choose Howie, please don't look down on our family's situation.""Don't be silly," Wanda replied, and the two of them began chatting more freely.…Later, Wanda and Wendell moved to a quiet corner."Do as James wishes," Wanda instructed."Mrs. Bronson Senior, are you sure about this?" Wendell asked."Yes, I've made up my mind," Wanda replied, her gaze resolute.If one day James decided to remarry after staying with Beverly until the end, he could still undergo surgery to reverse the vasectomy. And if he decided not to remarry, what use would it be to remain capable of having children?Wanda took a moment to compose herself before adding, "After the inauguration is over, find a day or two when he's free and have it done then."Wendell remained silent.…Outside the Bronson estate, the scene was far more lively.William and Tabitha were huddled by the gate, eating walnuts, while Damie

    Beverly's face was flushed a deep shade of red, almost burning with embarrassment. She braced her hands against James' shoulder, meaning to push him away. But instead, her fingers crumpled his shirt.With a clatter, the cup in Wanda's hand fell to the ground.James immediately wrapped Beverly in his arms, his gaze sweeping lightly over the elders. Though his breathing was still uneven and his demeanor appeared gentle, the air he exuded was excessively stern.It was as if he was suggesting they should have known to look away.He scooped Beverly up with one arm, while his other hand pressed firmly on the armrest of the chair, spinning it around to face away from the elders.Snapping back to reality, Wanda slapped her own hand for lacking tact and ruining the moment.Now that they didn't have a spectacle to watch, the others began to chuckle good-naturedly."Wanda, looks like you'll have your hands full soon," Bernice remarked."With what?""Judging by what we saw, your family wi
