All Chapters of Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Chapter 581 - Chapter 590

Jacklyn let out a quiet sigh. "If things could just stay the way they are now, it wouldn't be so bad. You take care of Lucy every day, and Ian comes by often to help. He provides the expenses, and Lucy has her own earnings. "With this kind of life, you all will be happy. Lucy would be able to experience both a mother's love and a father's love."She paused, thinking of Penelope, then added, "What worries me is that Penelope might try to use Lucy against you. You know what she's like. There's nothing she won't stoop to. If she can exploit her own mother, she'll certainly exploit a daughter she feels no affection for.""Don't worry," Ian's voice came from behind.Both women turned to him. He went on, "I'll keep a lookout on Penelope. Protecting Lucy is my responsibility. I won't give her a single chance to get close.""If you ever need help, call me," Jacklyn said plainly.After all these years of crossing swords with Penelope, she had more than enough experience on how to deal wi

In a way, it was Jacklyn who had forced Harriet into this corner. But more than anything, it was Harriet's own doing.Out of a reluctant sense of pity for another woman, Jacklyn wavered for days before deciding to quietly lend a hand."Irene, could you reach out to a few small-time directors for me? See if they can give Harriet a chance?" she asked.Irene, surprised at her change of heart so soon, scooted over with a teasing grin. "What's this? Forgiving her already? Didn't you say you gave up on her?"They exchanged a smile. "Like you said, it was better than her being some lewd streamer." Jacklyn shrugged.Irene did not press further. She pulled out her phone and started contacting the directors she knew.When a top agent called, the directors agreed to her request instantly. Especially when she was recommending someone controversial who already carried buzz. Low-budget web dramas thrived on traffic. Whether good or bad did not matter. What mattered was pulling in viewers.

Jacklyn sat in silence for a long moment, her gaze steady on the screen. Across from her, Liam sat just as long without a word.When he saw her expression grow heavier by the minute, he suggested, "Do you want to go see her?""Alright," Jacklyn answered absently. She closed her phone and prepared to leave with him.…At 9:00 pm, Jacklyn stood inside the elevator of the building where Harriet rented a room. She could no longer turn a blind eye when it came to matters concerning Harriet.She had asked Liam to wait downstairs. She considered the possibility that Harriet might be in a disheveled state, seeing how she had just returned from the police station. What woman would want to be seen like that by others?That was why she came up alone.When the elevator doors slid open, Jacklyn found the apartment number and rang the doorbell with a conflicted expression.After several seconds, no response came.Inside, Harriet had heard it, but she was in no condition to face anyone. He

They went to the lounge together. Theodore could not sit still, bouncing around even while perched on the couch. He chattered endlessly about all the things Liam had taken him to do that day and the gifts he had received."Mommy, look! This is the car Uncle Liam bought me. It's got a red body, blue eyes, and even a pair of really cool wings!" Theodore was still rambling on when Jacklyn pulled him into her arms.Jacklyn teased, "Then, can you give it to me? I think it looks wonderful too.""No way! Uncle Liam prepared a gift for Mommy, too. I discovered it first, and only then did he say he would take me to pick one out as well."At that, Jacklyn turned toward Liam, caught off guard. "What gift?"Since Theodore had already spoiled the surprise, he no longer tried to hide it. "It's something you'll recognize."He reached into the gift bag that had carried Theo's toy and drew out an exquisitely made small velvet box in deep blue."Open it," Liam urged, sliding it toward her. He w

"You really are insane." Eugene stared at Penelope in disbelief. "If you want to die, then hurry up and do it."He never imagined Penelope would use Noah as her shield. These past few nights, Noah had often said he could not sleep and missed Penelope. Out of pity, Eugene had called Penelope over to keep Noah company.That moment of softness had turned into a blade stabbing back at him.Still, the only reason he dared speak like this was because he never truly believed Penelope would harm herself. Penelope had misjudged her place in his heart. Even threatening her life was not enough to make her relent.Her resolve hardened. She slashed her wrist in a swift stroke."Penelope!" Eugene's voice thundered. He lunged forward, but it was too late to stop her."Gene, I knew you still cared for me," she murmured weakly. Blood streamed from her wrist. The wound was not deep but just enough to shock him."Mommy." Neither of them had noticed Noah appearing at the doorway. His face was b
