Morgan ate only a few bites before setting his cutlery down. He pulled out a napkin and dabbed at his mouth. "You're going to apologize to Nadia in person at her birthday party next week."Gabrielle's hand froze in midair, still holding her spoon. Then she said coolly, "I'm not doing it."Morgan lifted his eyes. The look he leveled at her was icy and sharp enough to cut straight through her."She called me today and asked me to head over to fix her necklace. I said no, so she deliberately had someone—""I'm not interested in the details. You're apologizing, and that's that. It's not up for debate," Morgan said curtly.Gabrielle pressed her lips together and fell silent. After a long moment, she repeated, "I'm not doing it."She rarely had the nerve to talk back to Morgan like this. The tension at the table was suffocating; the household staff barely dared to breathe.Casper looked up from his plate, his gaze flicking between Morgan and Gabrielle."Mommy, you have to say sorry w

Morgan pulled over and got out of the car. He asked, "How did you even manage to hurt your leg?"Winona shrugged, looking embarrassed. She said pitifully, "I was working late and had no idea it was pouring outside. The second I stepped out of the building, I fell."Morgan sighed. "You're way too careless."Sensing his mood, Winona scooted closer, like a guilty little kitten. "You're not mad at me, are you, Mr. Quilton? I'll apologize. Meow, meow, meow."She made peace signs with both hands and held them up to her head like they were cat ears and struck her cutest pose.Morgan couldn't help an exasperated laugh. "Just be more careful next time.""Alright, alright. I will."He opened the passenger door. "I'll carry you up.""That's not necessary. I can walk."Winona gingerly stretched a leg out. The moment her foot touched the ground, she yelped, and her body fell backward.Morgan caught her against his chest, slid an arm under her knees, and swept her up in a bridal carry. "Ar

Chester's low voice rang out in Gabrielle's ear, slowly guiding her. "What do you see? Describe it to me."Gabrielle dazedly opened her eyes and realized she was floating in midair, looking down at the room like a third-party observer.The woman lying on the hospital bed… was herself.She had just given birth. Her hair was plastered to her forehead with sweat, and a blue absorbent pad lay beneath her. Doctors and nurses moved quickly around the room."I'm in a hospital; there are a lot of people. I'm on the bed, and I'm freezing…" Gabrielle murmured in her hypnotic trance."And then?" Chester asked."And…"She remembered how cold she'd been that day—so cold she felt like she was about to die. The doctors and nurses crowded around the newborn; not a single person paid her any attention. Her face became paler and paler, and a damp warmth spread beneath her.A midwife came over to check her, then suddenly shouted, "Something's wrong. The mother is hemorrhaging!"At the same time,

Gabrielle's knee was much better after resting at home for a few days. Walking was no longer a problem, but the scraped skin had scabbed over into an ugly, swollen patch that was both itchy and tight. She figured that even when it finally healed, it would probably leave a permanent scar.She'd called Judy several times a day, but the latter never picked up. That day, she tried only once. When Judy declined her call, she didn't try again.Deep down, Gabrielle knew the Quilton family would take good care of Casper. No matter how much Morgan hated her, Casper was still his only child right now.That evening, Micah called. He asked, "How's the leg?""Pretty good. I can walk just fine now.""Good. I've got a dinner meeting tonight, and I need you to come with me."Gabrielle didn't turn him down. After getting married, in order to win over the Quiltons, she'd slowly cut ties with all her friends and devoted herself entirely to caring for Morgan and Casper. Micah was the only friend she

Micah merely responded to Winona's enthusiasm with a soft grunt. He didn't say anything.Meanwhile, Gabrielle's heart clenched the instant she saw Morgan. They'd only been apart a few days; he looked exactly the same as before. He was cool, refined, and naturally imposing, with a kind of quiet authority in his eyes.His features were sharp and chiseled, all hard angles and clean lines. Among all the rich, well-bred young men with him, he was still the one who stood out the most.But what surprised Gabrielle most was seeing Chester with him. She didn't want anyone knowing she was dealing with depression, so she just gave him a brief, impassive glance.He got her message. As a doctor, he knew how important it was to protect a patient's privacy. So, he only flicked his gaze over to Gabrielle and quickly looked away.Unfortunately, Winona caught that tiny interaction. She immediately latched onto Chester's arm, her posture screaming possessiveness as she asked, "Chester, do you know G
