Semua Bab Be Gentle With Me, Mr. CEO: Bab 411 - Bab 420

Calla was so weak after giving birth that her incision kept getting infected. She had two debridement procedures and more than two weeks of IV antibiotics during her stay at the hospital. Only then, did her health start to improve.Finally, they were both discharged. Calla and Clover stayed in the hospital for a total of 40 days. It could only be described as a brush with death.During those 40 days, Pierre came to the hospital every day. He took care of Calla and visited Clover regularly. He even hired a special nurse for Calla and had Fiona bring nourishing soups to the hospital daily.Calla was grateful for Pierre's kindness, so much so that words couldn't express it. Without Pierre, Calla and Clover wouldn't have recovered and been discharged so smoothly.On the day of their discharge, Calla held Clover as Pierre drove. Fiona carried all of Calla's bags as they escorted Calla back to Carol's home.Pierre parked his Range Rover in front of Calla's building and looked up worried

At that moment, Calla suddenly fell to her knees before Carol."What are you doing?" Calla's action startled Carol, who stared blankly at her kneeling daughter.Calla knew how heartbroken and disappointed her mother would be. She had let Carol down again, but she couldn't bring herself to abandon this little life. With tears in her eyes, Calla said, "Mom, there is something I need to tell you. I haven't been working in Greendale for the past six months. I lied to you because I got pregnant. I was afraid you wouldn't accept it and would force me to get an abortion, so I hid it from you and left Riverford. "A little over a month ago, I finally gave birth to Clover. Now that I'm a mother, I realize how much you've done for me. Mom, I'm sorry. I know having a child out of wedlock brings you shame, but I couldn't give my baby up. I deserve to be punished, Mom. It's all my fault!"Cradling Clover, Carol was completely taken aback. She sank into the chair behind her, her gaze shifting

That morning, Calla was playing with Clover in the living room when she suddenly heard the door lock turn.Carol had just left for the supermarket to buy groceries not too long ago. How could she be back so soon?The next moment, the door opened, but the person who entered wasn't Carol.An elaborately dressed woman walked in, wearing a pink lace dress. She styled her hair in a bun and adorned herself with gold jewelry on her ears, neck, and wrists. She looked completely different from the sweet, innocent girl she once was. Now, she appeared every bit like a young married woman.Seeing Zoey, Calla was taken aback—she hadn't expected her sister to suddenly return.According to Carol, Zoey rarely came home these days, choosing to occasionally call instead. She was now staying at home every day to take care of her child. Harlan treated her well, and although she didn't work, they had hired a nanny to help with the baby.It had been almost a year since that unpleasant incident. Yet,

Seeing Zoey poised to strike, Calla retreated a few steps in fear. She ended up pressed against a wooden flower stand.Calla looked up and saw the hateful glint in Zoey's eyes. She instinctively held Clover closer to her chest.At that moment, the front door opened, and a soft female voice came through."The vegetables are so fresh today, and the salmon looks especially good. Calla, I bought one for you to help with your milk supply. Speaking of which, why hasn't your milk supply increased?"The sound of her mother's voice was all it took to ease Calla's tension.She wasn't afraid of fighting, but she feared hurting Clover. Now that Carol was here, Calla knew her mother wouldn't let a fight between the sisters happen."Mom, you're home!" The next moment, Zoey turned to greet Carol."Oh, Zoey's here too?" Carol saw Zoey and smiled."Mom, I just got here. Cal said you were out grocery shopping," Zoey answered with a smile."Perfect timing, let's eat together. I bought plenty of

In the blink of an eye, it was Larissa's first birthday. Harlan had reserved a few tables at a five-star hotel, and Calla attended the celebration with Carol.Calla entrusted Clover to a neighbor lady. She planned to deliver the gift at the event and then quickly return. She was worried about Clover and wanted to avoid Harlan. She hoped to prevent any misunderstandings with Zoey. At this point, it seemed best to keep her distance.The small banquet hall had about ten tables, where most guests had already arrived.From afar, Calla saw Harlan and Zoey mingling among the guests. Zoey wore a beautiful pink gown, looking elegant and graceful. Conversely, Harlan wore a white shirt as per usual, maintaining his refined professor demeanor.Zoey was moving gracefully through the crowd, carrying a tray filled with gifts from friends and relatives."Zoey's over there," Carol said, pointing in Zoey's direction.Calla nodded and followed Carol's lead.At that moment, Harlan spotted Carol and
