Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 11 - Bab 20

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

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

"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

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.

"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
