Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Lydia turned abruptly, muttering with a grim face, "Why isn't Gene awake yet after all this time?"She hurried away with small steps, calling out as she went, "Nurse! Come check on my son. Why hasn't he woken up yet? Never mind. Take me to the doctor. It's no use talking to you."As soon as she left, the ward fell silent.Jacklyn's gaze shifted from Lydia's retreating back. When it landed on Eugene, she realized he had woken up at some point."Jackie," he said, struggling to sit up.Seeing his strained movements, Jacklyn said indifferently, "You're not fully recovered yet, so don't move for now."Only then did Eugene stop. His face was pale, and his voice was tinged with panic when he said, "Jackie, I dreamed you left me. No matter where I looked, I just couldn't find you."He looked at her with pleading eyes. "Jackie, could you please not leave me?"Jacklyn scoffed inwardly.If this were the old her, she might have been moved by him. She would have hugged him and told him not

Jacklyn couldn't wait to get out of the messy situation in the Lloyd family.The moment she stepped into the ward, a swarm of reporters who had caught wind of the situation came rushing into the hospital. They searched room by room and quickly zeroed in on Eugene's ward.Jacklyn was at the door. Just as she was about to walk over to Eugene, she heard hushed voices outside. She quickly figured it was the reporters. Her eyes flickered with an idea, and a faint smile tugged at her lips. "Gene, I think someone's outside."As she spoke, she was already twisting the lock open.The moment the door cracked open, a wave of reporters rushed in with cameras and microphones. They were pointing their equipment straight at Eugene, lying in the hospital bed."Mr. Lloyd, we've heard you're gravely ill and unlikely to return to the company. Is that true?"Eugene was merely hospitalized with a fever. His face turned pitch-black when he heard the word "gravely-ill".Despite the IV just attached

Eugene's gaze turned sharp when the matter of Lloyd Group was brought up. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is all thanks to Robertson Group."Jacklyn didn't press that topic. Instead, she said, "Gene, what matters now is the company. With the stock price dropping this fast, don't you think we should stabilize it first?"At her words, the fierceness in Eugene's eyes gradually faded. Looking at Jacklyn with a hint of joy, he placed his broad hand over hers."Jackie, you're absolutely right."She was worried about him. Eugene's smile grew wider. "Don't worry. I'll take care of it as soon as possible."Staring at his hand over hers, Jacklyn resisted the urge to pull away and said softly, "I trust you."As long as Eugene's focus was entirely on Lloyd Group, she would soon be able to transfer the assets. Once that was done, she'd be free of the Lloyd family for good.At that thought, Jacklyn's eyes darkened slightly. The smile on her lips grew more brazen.…The next day, a me

Emily's usually composed face showed a hint of surprise. "So, you know my goddaughter?""Goddaughter?" Lydia and Jacklyn exclaimed at the same time.How had Penelope become Emily's goddaughter in just a few days?Penelope raised her chin proudly and clung affectionately to Emily's arm. "It's a long story. I met Emily at an auction. I helped her identify a counterfeit and even found a rare treasure for her. She said we were fated to meet and took me in as her goddaughter."Emily gave her an approving look and nodded. "It's true. Penelope has a sharp eye. Come on. I'll introduce you to some people," she said as she took Penelope to the center of the room.Before long, the other socialites began to flock toward Emily. Lydia, who had just become the president of the Women's Association, found herself completely ignored.Watching the lively crowd gathering around Penelope, Lydia fumed with frustration.She had hoped to use Emily's influence to build relationships with these notorious

Penelope couldn't understand. How could Jacklyn not care?Jacklyn returned to the drafting table with the file in hand, not even bothering to glance up. Her voice was cool and edged with scorn. "A rare treasure traded for a pearl necklace? Only someone like you could be thrilled over such a bad deal."Penelope scoffed. "You're too short-sighted, Jackie. Yes, that piece cost a lot, but what I got in return is far more valuable. No matter what, I'm the winner."Hearing her smug tone, Jacklyn finally looked up. Her smiling eyes were gleaming with an icy chill."Of course you're the winner. You used Eugene's money to buy that treasure for Ms. Lopez. You didn't spend a single cent yourself.""He gave it to me willingly," Penelope said, meeting her gaze. "If I can get him to spend on me willingly, that's my ability."Jacklyn took her time to finish the final stroke on her design. She stood up and looked down at Penelope. "Then, you'd better get as much out of him as you can. Because so
