Michael had work to deal with at his company abroad, so he returned to Candoria later than Maria. The moment his plane landed, he heard that Maria had been hospitalized and immediately rushed over in a panic."Michael!" Maria broke into a bright smile when she saw him.Michael set his suitcase aside and strode over. "What happened? You're pregnant. Couldn't you be a little more careful?""It's nothing. I just got a fright. I'll be fine after a bit of rest," she assured him with a smile.Frowning, he questioned, "Who gave you a fright?"Maria merely smiled and whined playfully, "Oh, nobody. Stop frowning. You're not handsome when you do that."In the hospital bed next to hers, Huxley woke up because he needed to pee. He sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes. When he saw Michael, he pouted and immediately tattled."I know who it is, Daddy! It was that nasty witch. She yelled at Aunt Maria.""A nasty witch?" Michael looked at Jason.Jason pinched the bridge of his nose. "Amelia."Huxl

Jason only cared about ensuring that the wedding ceremony proceeded as scheduled. Once the ceremony was complete and he received the last of the shares, he'd have full authority over Chapman Group and, by extension, the family.Once that happened, he'd make sure it was worth Amelia's while, too. But if Amelia still didn't know her place and continued making trouble, he wouldn't indulge her anymore.He wanted to see how badly she would regret it then. But by that point, it would be too late for regrets. Since she brought it upon herself, she would have to bear the consequences.That was why, after arriving at the hospital early that morning, Jason went to see Maria first, then asked Michael to come with him and help clear things up.Although Ryan refused the gift, Michael hadn't forgotten the reason he had come, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to Amelia.Before coming, he hadn't had a good impression of Amelia, Maria's substitute. He even felt disgusted when he learne

"You'd better not regret this, Amelia." Jason snatched up the divorce agreement and walked out of the hospital room with it.Michael set down the toy he brought for Ryan. He couldn't help glancing at Amelia again. Sensing his gaze, she looked over. Her dark eyes were bright and clear, filled with resolve and indifference.Once again, his heart jumped involuntarily. That inexplicable desire to draw closer to her and unexplainable sense of fondness surfaced in his heart again.Suppressing his emotions, Michael gave a subtle nod and strode out of the hospital room. Once outside, he grabbed hold of Jason, who was practically radiating icy hostility."Why do I feel like Amelia isn't throwing a tantrum? It seems like she really wants to divorce you."Jason gave a derisive laugh. "Impossible. She can't bear to."Michael glanced at the divorce agreement in his hand. "What are you going to do about this?""I'll give her what she wants."…In the hospital room, Tiana walked over to the

Tiana wasn't surprised in the slightest. She leaned in close to Amelia and whispered, "There are plenty of cases like this. Some kids are even registered under their grandparents' names instead. I've heard of siblings who were more than 20 years apart in age. Now that's what I call absolutely insane."Amelia gave Tiana a thoughtful nod, secretly feeling a little hopeful that it might actually be true.What kind of look would appear on Jason's face when he found out that the woman he had been pining for—the love of his life—had conceived another man's child not once but twice?This possibility made Amelia feel a lot better about the situation. There was no reason for her to be the only one getting cheated on. It'd make things a lot more interesting if they were both victims of cheating.After breakfast, Amelia urged Tiana to go home and get some rest. Once Tiana left, she called Liam. She had originally promised to visit his company today, but given the situation, that obviously was

Lucinda brought Amelia a change of clothes. They were staying in a more premium ward at the hospital. It was a luxurious double room with a private bathroom and shower, making it pretty much on par with a hotel room.Whenever Ryan was awake, Amelia kept him company and played with the educational toys Liam and Simon had brought him. There were all kinds of puzzle games, board games, a small robot, a drone, and more.After sleeping during the day, Ryan couldn't fall asleep that night, so he studied the little robot. Despite his young age, he already had a pretty extensive vocabulary. He was also patient and could settle down and concentrate on a task well.Whenever he encountered something he didn't know how to do, he wouldn't immediately ask for help. Instead, he would read the instructions himself and figure out what to do, trying different approaches one after another. After each attempt, he reviewed and analyzed what he had done.He repeated the process dozens of times. Only aft
