"Jeana, didn't Mr. Churchill Senior teach you anything about self-respect?" Xavier's voice was calm, yet it cut like a sharp blade.Jeana froze on the spot."Xav, y-you misunderstood. I-I didn't mean it like that..." she stammered.Xavier had previously held back from addressing her behavior out of consideration for Zion, but now it was clear that this woman had no sense of shame."If that's not what you meant, then you should know not to do anything that would lead to gossip." Xavier's words hit harder than any criticism from other women. Upon hearing it from the man she admired, Jeana flushed with embarrassment.Realizing she might have acted too hastily, she quickly tried to explain. "I'm sorry, Xav and Yvette. My parents passed away early, so no one taught me these things. I'll just stay outside tonight, keeping watch for you. I won't sleep."With that, she ran off, making it look as though Yvette and Xavier had wronged her.Yvette was amazed by Jeana's ability to twist the

Standing outside, Jeana was so cold that she was shivering. Frustration built up inside her as she waited for Tristan to call her back inside the tent.When she finally walked to his tent, she saw that the zipper was pulled tight from the inside. It was clear that everyone inside was already asleep. Even the oil lamp had been extinguished.She immediately stomped her foot in anger.Since Kiki was inside with Tristan, she had no choice but to make her way to the neighboring tent. Without a sleeping bag, the mountain's chill enveloped her. She curled up inside the tent, trying to warm herself with the few clothes she had brought along. She had never felt this miserable before.Just then, strange sounds began to emanate from the adjacent tent, where Mark and Lillian were. "Damn it..." Jeana cursed. She felt even more uncomfortable now.Meanwhile, Yvette had just finished telling the children a scary story and lulling them to sleep. Yet, she herself couldn't find rest. The wind howl

Yvette wanted to dodge, but it was clearly too late. She quickly stepped back. However, before she could feel any pain, she found herself in the embrace of a tall figure.At some point, Xavier had rushed to her side, disregarding the danger as he moved to hold her.He couldn't see, but he relied on the direction of Yvette's voice to judge her position. Fortunately, he wasn't wrong. He had no idea where the snake was, so he simply shielded Yvette with his entire body.Yvette was in disbelief as she was held by him.At the same moment, Ray kicked Jeana, who had been clinging to him, directly toward the snake. The snake ended up not striking Yvette.Jeana was hurled through the air like a projectile, nearly crashing onto the snake. Startled by the sudden impact, the snake quickly slithered into the bushes.Everyone let out a sigh of relief.With her mouth full of dirt and grass, Jeana felt intense pain in her waist and immediately began to cry. "How dare you kick me?"Ray's eyes w

Xavier stopped in his tracks. "Yes?""What happened today was dangerous. Why did you save me?" Yvette asked, looking straight at him. If he had really lost his memories of the past few years and he could only remember the early days of their marriage, he should despise her. Why had he risked his life to save her?Xavier was silent for a moment. To be honest, he didn't know why either. His body had moved on instinct. It had been a primal urge to protect Yvette from harm."You're carrying my children. Of course, I couldn't just stand by and let something happen to you," Xavier replied coldly.Yvette released his arm. "I see. Well, you should go. It's late. You should get some rest.""Alright." Xavier nodded and walked out. Soon, Mark came over and escorted him to the car.Meanwhile, Yvette and Lillian went back inside the house.Not long after, the OB-GYNs that Xavier had called arrived to check on Yvette. The babies were healthy, and Yvette had not suffered any physical harm.

The report clearly stated that Yvette and Yara were not related by blood.Yvette read the result over and over again. Even though Yara had told her before, seeing the confirmation in front of her still left her dazed. So, it had been true all along… Yara really wasn't her biological mother. So that was why Yara had never liked her since she'd been a child. But if that was the case, where was Yvette's biological mother?Yvette's hand trembled slightly as she held the report."Ms. Snyder, are you alright?" a staff member kindly asked.Snapping out of her thoughts, Yvette shook her head and replied in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."As she was about to leave, the staff member couldn't help but suggest, "Ms. Snyder, we offer an online platform for family searches here. Your biological parents might be able to find you online if you register your information."The staff assumed Yvette had failed in her search for her real family, which was why she made the suggestion.Yvette paused,
