Chapter 716

作者: Happy Breadwinner
Beverly's trepidation rose like bile in her throat. She wanted to leave, but James had a firm grip on her wrist. It was only after she spotted the thick medical record in Wendell's hand that her racing heart slowed to a steady beat.

"Chief Bronson, this is Mrs. Bronson Senior's medical record." Naturally, Wendell was referring to Wanda, not Beverly.

Wendell nodded at Jules, who immediately explained, "Mrs. Bronson Senior is experiencing constant discomfort due to menopause. She's been doing checkups and receiving treatments from me.

"Mrs. Bronson brought her in today after she complained of a dizzy spell and shortness of breath. Normally, Mr. Bronson Senior accompanies her…"

Jules didn't miss a beat.

Harvey and Wanda's days-long argument had left the latter infuriated, which aggravated her menopause symptoms.

She couldn't very well confide in her maids or outsiders about something so personal. It seemed reasonable that she'd asked Beverly to accompany her to the hospital.

  • You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise   Chapter 758

    James gripped Beverly's wrist before she could open the door, a storm gathering in his eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice dropping as if he were cajoling a wild animal. "We will leave this pregnancy to fate. Just take the medication…"Beverly put an arm over her lower abdomen, fiercely protecting it as she gazed into James' sad eyes. Countless thoughts flickered through her head.He'd loved her for many years before she truly became a part of his world and married him. Would he move on and love someone else after her death? She doubted it.Beverly's voice softened too. "Honey, if I can safely give birth to Esther, I can do the same with this baby."Upon hearing this, James leaned back and reached out to caress her cheek. Just as she thought he would compromise, the car door opened.Evan materialized on the other side of the door, snaking an arm around Beverly to carry her out of the car."No! Honey, don't do this to me!" Beverly clutched James' arm desperately, meeting his stoic ga

    James brushed away the tears that rolled down Beverly's cheeks with his fingertips. After he released her, he brought her face down onto his shoulder.She panted, angrily and forcefully pulling on his tie as she cried. Her delicate frame shook in his arms.James kissed her cheek, and his lips brushed against her ear as he murmured in a cool but hoarse voice, his tone beguiling, "Between me and the baby, who would you choose?"No sooner had his voice sounded in her ear than Beverly screamed like she was out of control, "I don't want you! I don't want you anymore!"The air around James turned cold. He roughly pulled her closer to him, his crisp voice piercing into her ear. "Say that again.""I don't want you anymore!"At that moment, his dark, depthless eyes cleared. When he spoke again, he sounded detached. "I won't acknowledge that this baby is mine even if you were to give birth."The threat cleaved Beverly's heart. She wept hard, and James eventually sighed in her ear. He deci

    "That's not true." Beverly shrank away from James. "Okay, stop talking and take a look for yourself. Make it quick."James cupped her face and said in a voice that reminded her of the warm night breeze, "I'm not in a rush."He kissed her, and she kissed him back. A while later, she was still in a daze when she felt her pants slide down her legs, revealing the bruise on her flawless, alabaster skin.James regarded the bruise with a grave look on his face. "I'll go get a salve to help with blood circulation."Beverly clutched his hand immediately. "No, I can't use anything like that, or it might hurt the baby.""In that case, we'll ask the doctor for a pregnancy-friendly option," James pointed out."No need to go to all that trouble. It's not a big deal." Beverly sat upright and wrapped her arms around James' neck, her eyes sparkling as she lay in his arms. She reassured him sweetly, "It doesn't even hurt anymore.""No." James embraced her tightly, then let her go. "I'll call the

    Sharp pain seized Beverly when she hit the ground. She panicked, and her hand flew to her lower abdomen as she bit her lip. She didn't want James to find out she'd slipped and fallen, but the bathroom door swung open anyway.James bent down and scooped her into his arms. She stared at the anxious look on his face and muttered, "I'm fine. The baby's fine."He said nothing and only gave a faint hum in response. Cradling her, he carried her out of the bathroom and set her down on the large, soft bed.She sat up, immediately frowning when James grabbed her by the shoulders and asked nervously, "Is your heart feeling okay?""I was…" A hiss escaped her. "I fell on my backside."Impassive as usual, James slid his hands under Beverly's armpits and hauled her upward. He gently flipped her over so that she was sprawled across the large, soft bed. Without another word, he began to pull her pants down.Beverly pinned his hand in place, her face growing hot. She turned to look at him. "Stop d

    A flush stole across Beverly's cheeks as she eyed James bashfully. "Why are you holding me while you work?""I believe it was you who refused to let me go," James mused, setting the document on the coffee table. He grabbed Beverly's arms and put them around his neck, bringing her closer.She grinned, her eyes sparkling even as she tried to avoid his gaze. "As if I'd keep holding onto you even after I dozed off. You're a shameless liar, James.""Why wouldn't you?" Dipping his head, James gripped her chin and forced her to meet his stare. "You're clinging to me right now."She glared at him and pointedly slid her hands down his shoulders, only for him to catch them. He lowered his head and brushed the tip of his nose against hers.She turned her head to the side. "That tickles!"Bringing his lips to her ears, he whispered, "After some thought, babe, I think I'd like to name our daughter Evelyn. What do you think?"Beverly met his gaze and beamed."No." She toyed with his shirt co

    James gently pulled Beverly into his embrace."Yes, there was a possibility that she could have survived and grown up to be as healthy and happy as Esther." He cupped Beverly's delicate, tear-streaked face. "Our child will be happy and healthy too, but only if you behave and follow through with the doctor's treatment plan. That includes taking all the necessary medications.""Medications?" Beverly shook her head vehemently, clutching at her chest as she roughly wiped her tears away. She argued hoarsely, "My body's fine. I don't need any medication.""Of course we could choose not to take the medications, but you need the cardiologist to look after you," James explained patiently, as if she were a petulant child. "This is all for the baby's sake. This way, if our child has the same heart defect as Emmeline, we could take preventive measures. I had the medical team flown in from the base. They saved you and Esther before, and they'll do it again for our baby."He stared at her as
