Something seemed to have alarmed Maxwell when he grabbed Sunny's hand and said, "Hurry! Take me back to that floor!"Sunny looked at Maxwell with confusion. "Dad, what's going on? Do you know that little girl?"Maxwell did not have time to explain. Instead, he just said, "Just get me up there now! We need to find out which ward that girl is in!"Seeing Maxwell's urgency, Sunny did not press further. He stepped back into the elevator and pressed the button for the previous floor.Once they arrived, Maxwell immediately walked out of the elevator. "Sunny, which way did you see the little girl go?"Sunny pointed in a particular direction and replied, "That way."Maxwell immediately strode toward that direction, checking each ward as he went.…Meanwhile, Emily was eating the supper Melinda brought her on her bed. For some reason, she had jolted awake in the middle of the night with her heart racing. She felt a strong sense of unease and an inexplicable worry for Corinne.However,

Lilin nodded in response.As Melinda opened the door, she was taken aback to see Maxwell hesitating at the entrance."How did you…"Melinda looked at Maxwell in shock before turning back to look at Emily.Emily was still trying to steady her breath with her hand on her chest. She noticed that Melinda was not moving, yet she did not hear the door closing. When she looked toward the entrance, her eyes widened in shock as well.The man she had not seen in almost two decades stood at her door. Both of them shared a moment of mutual astonishment.A minute later, Emily shifted her gaze away and said coldly, "Mel, close the door!"Melinda snapped out of her surprise. She gave Maxwell a complicated glance and was about to close the door when Maxwell blocked it with his arm and said gruffly, "Let me see her."He knew he was not welcome there, but he insisted on seeing Emily.Melinda felt conflicted. She glanced back at Emily, who still had her face turned away, expressing her refusal.

As Melinda stepped out, Maxwell approached and asked, "What happened to Emily? Is she sick?"Melinda glared at Maxwell and replied sharply, "She's not sick. She's injured."Startled, Maxwell asked worriedly, "Injured? How did she get hurt? Who did this to her?""You did!" replied Melinda with a darkened expression.Maxwell was stunned and ashamed to the point of speechlessness.Melinda continued angrily, "You caused all this! Emily wouldn't have to entrust Corinne to the Carews if your family hadn't forced her to take desperate measures. Corinne wouldn't have suffered so much from a young age, and Emily wouldn't have gone to confront Marvin, which led her to end up getting slashed by his crazy wife! You've already made things hard enough for Emily. If you have any conscience left, please stay away from her! You've seen it yourself how much she doesn't want to see you!"Maxwell felt a sense of shame but also confusion. "I admit I've let her down, but why would she avoid me or entr

Sunny was shocked to hear Maxwell wanted to go to the summer villa. He frowned and asked, "Dad, are you planning to visit Mom?" Maxwell nodded. "I need to ask her a few things.""Do you have to ask her in person, Dad? Your current health isn't suitable for a long and tiring journey..." said Sunny resignedly."Take me there right away! If I don't get some answers, I won't be able to sleep even when I get home, so turn the car around!"Sunny wanted to persuade Maxwell but ultimately decided against the idea. He signaled the driver to take them to the family's summer villa instead.Phoebe had been living in the summer villa all these years, claiming it was her choice. In truth, however, she was sent to live there by Cedric, Beatrice, and Maxwell due to her wrongdoings. Sunny, who had been abroad for these years, had not visited Phoebe at all.When he was in the hospital corridor and overheard Maxwell and Emily's conversation, Sunny started having suspicions.Clearly, Maxwell share

After tucking Emily in, Melinda walked over to the other bed where Lilin was lying. The little girl was already fast asleep, yet her furrowed brow hinted at a troubled dream.Melinda gently smoothed out the wrinkles between Lilin's eyebrows, then lifted the covers and laid down beside her, quietly closing her eyes. Despite her skill in counseling Emily, Melinda could not entirely suppress her own worries. She was concerned about Adam's well-being in prison.'That grumpy guy has never been easy to handle. Will he still be throwing tantrums at the others there? Sigh…' Melinda thought to herself. The challenges in life seemed to be universal.Melinda was unable to find solace in sleep, so she gave up on it and sat up. When she realized that it was already dawn, she decided to get up and grab some breakfast for Emily and Lilin.Melinda slipped into her shoes and put on her coat before making her way to the door of the ward. As she opened it, she coincidentally bumped into Corinne, who

'But how did he know where Mom's ward is?' wondered Corinne.Even Corinne held strong hostility toward Maxwell, let alone Emily whom he hurt deeply."He dared to show up in front of my mom again? Missus Addison, don't worry. This won't happen a second time," reassured Corinne.Once Joey was discharged and things settled down for Corinne, she would warn Maxwell not to disturb Emily anymore.Melinda let out a sigh. "Corinne, do you really believe that your mom's heartache will magically disappear as long as your dad stays away from her? Your mom has been wandering for so many years, and she's never been truly happy. One reason is the guilt she carries for losing you, believing that her failure to protect you led to your death. The other reason is the emotional scars from her past marriage. Yes, she hates Maxwell, but how can such deep hatred exist without a foundation of love? When your mom just escaped from the Riveras, she was barely thirty. With her looks and brain, she attracted

Corinne also knew that Maxwell did not really have feelings for Phoebe. After all, they slept in separate beds for years.However, Maxwell still caused irreparable emotional damage to Emily. He betrayed Emily and doubted her innocence, causing her to flee and live a rootless life for many years.Nevertheless, Melinda's words stirred something within Corinne. The value of a relationship was not determined by others; only the individuals involved could say whether it was worth it.In her case, everyone thought she was stupid not to move on after her three-year wait for Jeremy, but she never wavered in her decision.Melinda had already bought breakfast while Corinne was lost in deep contemplation."Corinne, they only serve sandwiches here. I got a couple for you and Joey. You guys should be okay with that, right?" asked Melinda.Corinne snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. "Thank you, Missus Addison."Melinda smiled. "No need to thank me. It's only sandwiches. Let's head back. E

Corinne nodded. "I understand."Corinne had a clearer idea of what to do. Despite having a finite lifespan, people often get stuck in a certain relationship, leading to sorrow and a lifetime of regrets. At the end of the day, no one could perfectly control their own emotions, and that included herself.Emily was already awake when they returned to the ward. She got out of bed and covered Lilin with the blanket she kicked off. Then, she gently tucked the loose strands of hair behind the little girl's ear.Emily could not help but think of her own daughter. 'Moonie should've grown up carefree and peacefully by my side, but because of my own judgment…she had to grow up being mistreated by everyone around her.' The thought depressed her yet again.It was then she heard the door to the ward open. She turned her head and saw Corinne. Her eyes instantly brightened at the sight of her."Moonie, you're here!"Corinne smiled at Emily, then gently placed Joey on the floor. "Joey, be a good

Corinne did not quite buy into Emily's claim of not wanting to know, so she continued, "Moonlight flowers are being grown In the Riveras' garden. It's exceptionally beautiful, rare, and notoriously challenging to grow."Emily was taken aback. She looked at Corinne in shock. "What…?""Maxwell told me it was his wife's favorite flower. He spends almost every day meticulously caring for those flowers. Oddly enough, he didn't seem to pay much attention to his current wife. They rarely spent time together. In fact, they slept in separate beds."Emily was stunned by this unexpected information. She looked at Corinne with a mix of confusion and surprise. "Moonie, why are you telling me all this?"Corinne pursed her lips. "Just sharing what I observed and heard at the Riveras' residence. Oh, and I also heard that Maxwell didn't want to marry his current wife. Their two children were conceived through medical means."'What?! Conceived through medical means?' thought Emily in shock.Corinn

Tommy bowed. "Ma'am, you're too kind! Without Mister Jeremy, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's the least I can do!"Corinne admired Tommy's abilities and character. She did not say more about the topic. Instead, she asked, "And where is he? Why isn't he here?""Mister Jeremy is on his way. He should be here in a little while."Corinne smirked. "He's always like this. He said he'd go get us some food yesterday, but after he left, he never came back. Instead, he got his subordinates to deliver it."Tommy chuckled. "Ma'am, you've misunderstood. Mister Jeremy didn't want you to worry, so he didn't tell you the whole story. Yesterday, our people caught Anya. He was concerned she might deny being the mastermind behind Mister Joey's kidnapping, so he personally supervised the police interrogation and confronted her. Mister Jeremy also took care of Sophia. She and Anya won't be causing any trouble for us soon."'Anya's been caught, huh? Good. I'll never have to worry about her coming f
