Chapter 11

Liam frowned upon hearing Jacklyn's words.Why was her stomach aching after falling into the water?Without hesitating, he picked Jacklyn up and rushed her to the hospital.Inside the hospital, the scent of antiseptic filled the air. Liam sat in a corner, waiting.As he recalled Jacklyn's pained expression, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern.Half an hour later, the door to the consulting room opened, and the doctor walked out.Liam immediately stood and asked, "How's she doing, doctor?""The patient is pregnant. She should avoid crowded places," the doctor replied, frowning as he removed his mask.Liam stood frozen in place.Jacklyn was pregnant?The doctor, noticing his confusion, continued, "You young people are so careless. You don't even know your girlfriend's pregnant, and you let her fall into the water. You need to pay more attention and take better care of her."As Liam regained his composure and was about to clarify that he wasn't her boyfriend, the doct

"I told you. If you ever need anything, you can always come to me," Liam said.As Jacklyn looked up at him, her eyes were filled with gratitude. "Thank you."It was almost laughable. The only person who truly cared for her was an outsider."What are you two doing?"Just then, Eugene stormed into the ward. His face twisted with anger.He had calmed Penelope down and rushed over here, only to find Liam and Jacklyn talking happily like they were newlyweds.But he was Jacklyn's husband!"What's Liam doing here? What's your relationship with him?"Jacklyn's smile froze. She hadn't even started to question him, yet he was the one getting angry?Exhausted and too drained to deal with him, she turned her head away.Suddenly, Liam chuckled, drawing Eugene's attention."What are you laughing at?" Eugene snapped.Liam raised an eyebrow and said mockingly, "Your wife's in a hospital bed, and the first thing you do is question her? Aren't you supposed to be concerned about her?"Eugene

Chapter 13

98.6°F was a totally normal body temperature.As Eugene thought about how Penelope was just chatting with Rebecca like nothing had happened, his face darkened. "Stop making trouble for no reason. Just stay home and rest. I'll transfer money to you on time."With that, he turned to leave."Wait!" Rebecca rushed over and blocked his path.Seeing Eugene's gaze grow darker and more menacing, she quickly said, "Penelope's carrying the future heir of your family. Nothing can go wrong. As the father, you should be here making sure he's safe."Eugene rolled his eyes. He hadn't had kids before, but he wasn't an idiot.As long as Penelope stayed home, what could possibly happen to the baby?He was about to brush her off when Penelope suddenly cried out in pain.Eugene turned instantly. "What happened?"Penelope clutched his hand tightly. "Gene, my whole body hurts. I feel awful."She added with a soft whimper, "What if something really happens, and I'm here all alone? Gene, please stay

Chapter 14

After settling Penelope down, Eugene couldn't shake the thought of Jacklyn from his mind. He was worried something might happen to her since she was alone in the hospital.When the Stinsons weren't paying attention, he quietly slipped out and made his way back to the hospital."Jackie, I came back to see you. I brought…"He pushed open the door of the ward with a cheerful tone but stopped mid-sentence.The room was empty. Not a trace of Jacklyn."Sir, this is a patient's ward. If you're not here for a reason, please leave," a nurse passing by reminded him politely.Eugene rushed over. "Where's the patient who was in here? I'm her husband, but I haven't heard from her. Could you please check for me?"The nurse eyed him up and down. "Her name?""Jacklyn Stinson."The nurse looked up. "Ms. Stinson already signed her discharge papers. You're her husband, and you didn't know?""What?" Eugene froze.Why hadn't she told him?He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed her number.

"Well…" Ramon hesitated, an expression of difficulty crossing his face."Don't worry. Just tell me how to fix this, and I'll pay whatever it takes," Eugene said solemnly.People would do anything for money, and even devotees couldn't live without it."That's not it." Ramon shook his head. "Wealth is just material.""Then, what is it?" Eugene asked, confused.Penelope, trembling, feigned a look of despair. "If I lose this child, I don't want to live, either! My baby! I can't lose this baby! Gene, please do something!"After a sigh, Ramon finally said, "Alright. Since you're so eager, I'll tell you straight. To break the bloodshed curse, you'll need a sacred object. It's not easy to get."Eugene, not overly concerned, responded, "Tell me what it is. I'll find it no matter what."Smiling, Ramon nodded. "Since you're so earnest, I'll be direct. You need to find a unique gemstone, set it in a necklace, and have your wife wear it every day. It will ward off evil and protect the child

Chapter 16

The realization shocked Eugene deeply.He looked as if he was about to go insane as he bellowed, "Where's Jacklyn? Why is she not in the room?""I was mowing the lawn in the backyard just now, Mr. Lloyd. I have no idea what happened.""I was cleaning the kitchen. I hadn't noticed where Mrs. Lloyd went.""I was in the yard. I hadn't seen Mrs. Lloyd today."One by one, the maids explained to Eugene what they were doing earlier. Yet, none of them seemed to know where Jacklyn was. Eugene was boiling with rage as he listened to them."I didn't spend so much money hiring all of you just to have you focus solely on your tasks! The lady of the house is missing. Yet, none of you had taken notice of that! What's the use of me keeping any of you around, then?" Eugene kept shouting at the maids to vent his anger. Then, he issued an order and gave them one last warning, "Start looking for Jacklyn right now! I'm going to fire everyone if none of you manage to find her today!"The air inside

Penelope frowned and said pitifully, "Gene, I tripped and fell while I was heading out today. It must have been the influence of the bad luck that's been following me around.""What? Are you hurt anywhere?" Her words gave Eugene quite a scare. He quickly checked the area around Penelope's lower abdomen. He was worried that they might lose the child.Penelope shook her head. "I'm fine. I just feel a bit shaken.""I'm glad you're alright." Eugene breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he said in a reproachful tone, "I told you to stay put and avoid going out so much since it might be too risky. Your number one priority now is to protect the child."When the conversation had not gone the way she wanted, Penelope grabbed onto Eugene's hand and looked at him coyly."Gene, you didn't have to be so careful and worried about every little thing. Once we have the gemstone necklace, I'll be able to deliver our child safely, and you won't have to feel constantly worried."Eugene knitted his brows.

Chapter 18

"He gave me a yacht as a gift recently. Can you help me sell it?" Jackly asked.Since she had decided to leave, she wanted to sell everything that could be converted into cash. She needed the money.Unfortunately, her every activity was being closely monitored by Eugene's men. There were a lot of things she could not do that might raise suspicions.Liam readily agreed, "Of course."The division of assets between couples was necessary following a divorce. It was only right for Jacklyn to secure as much money as possible since it was Eugene who had failed her in this relationship."Thank you." Jacklyn gave a sigh of relief.After leaving the mall, she received a call from Eugene as soon as she got home."Jackie, I'll wait for you at Serendipity."Serendipity was the restaurant where they had their first date.Jacklyn snickered as she wondered what Eugene was up to this time. Eventually, she decided to go along with whatever act he was trying to pull.Jacklyn gave a slight nod.

"I want you to help me find a suitable spot for the necklace in my office," Eugene said.Jacklyn could not help frowning as she listened to Eugene's heavy breathing. There was barely veiled contempt in her eyes.Was he perhaps worried that she didn't trust him?She agreed to go, albeit reluctantly. "Alright."…Inside Lloyd Group's CEO's office, Eugene handed Jacklyn the necklace. "Pick a spot for it, Jackie."Jacklyn cast a glance at the company employees outside through the glass window. She placed the necklace on the uppermost left corner of the desk. "I'll leave it on this spot. You can easily see it from any corner of the room.""Okay." Eugene nodded and caressed her cheek. He beamed broadly at her. "Whichever spot you pick is the best spot for me."The employees looked at the couple with envy and adoration as they caught sight of what happened."Mr. Lloyd and his wife have been married for three years, yet they're still so affectionate around each other. They look so hap

Chapter 20

"Hello." Jacklyn cast a glance at Liam. She hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "The price you're offering is much higher than the market price. Are you sure about that?"Jacklyn needed money. However, she had no intention of earning more than what she deserved.The young man smiled and nodded. He had a firm look in his eyes. "Yes, I am."Jacklyn wanted to advise him to reconsider his offer, but the man cut her off with another remark, "I don't think it's a waste spending a lot of money on something you truly like."There was nothing else Jackie could say since the man had made his stance fairly clear. She replied, "In that case, let's proceed with signing the contract."The young man signed the document right away. Then, he produced a check and handed it to Jacklyn. "It was a pleasure doing business with you.""Thank you."After they had settled the transaction, Jacklyn stared at the man's receding figure pensively.Liam had remained silent all this time as he
