Approximately two hours after we depart from the airport, Jamie and I arrive at New York City. We set off straight to Peyton Tower once we got off Jamie’s private jet.
As soon as we arrive, Jamie heads straight to Andrew’s office. Her pace is fast, she neglects all those people who keep bowing to her at the side when she walks past. Quietly, I keep my pace up to hers.
Once we are at an office with the door labeled ‘Peyton Group CEO——Andrew Peyton’, without knocking, Jamie barges in, even when we can hear there are guests inside.
Ignoring all those guests in the room, Jamie stares at Andrew sharply.
When Andrew sees her ferocious expression, he requests a reschedule for a follow up
With a cold tone, Andrew asks Jamie, “Do you remember this handkerchief?” he then points at me and mentions, “Remember that day when I visited you. He sneezed over my face and wiped his saliva off me with it.”I remember it, though I did that as Henrietta. And now, he is pointing at me when he mentions it.… He does actually know that Henrietta was a man back then, doesn’t he? He actually discovered my true gender way earlier. As Justin and I conjectured, that explains his abnormal behavior towards me for teasing me in front of his assistant and Jamie.Before any of us can respond to Andrew, he shakes the zip bag in his hand and mentions, “Apparently, I kept it. And I did a DNA test with it.”
After Jamie was admitted to the hospital, I waited outside the ward while the doctor and the nurses carried out an examination on Jamie’s body.I am scared and worried, because this has never happened to Jamie before. Jamie’s physical and mental conditions are always in the pink, she is always in high spirits and great vitality, I never expected anything like this could happen to her.The scene when I saw her fainted still runs through my head, it makes me feel extremely unsettling.Even if there are benches in the corridor, I can’t seem to stop my feet. I keep walking here and there, taking deep breaths, running my palms down my face, taking deep breaths again, wiping my face again…“
The sky is dark when I walk out of the hospital building. The hospital garden is lit up by a sufficient amount of light. However, I dash into the bushes, squint my eyes as hard as I can, and start to search around.Just as I am wondering if I can find any of them at this hour, a strong and inviting fragrance catches my sense. When I give the direction of the fragrance’s source a glance, I see bushes of blooming white flowers.The night blooming tuberoses, as white as the pure heart, reflecting the moonlight shining faintly and quietly in the garden of the night.By the very moment I see them, a smile appears on my face.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
The next morning, since Jamie said she had enough rest, we returned to Chicago very soon. We went home respectively to have a bath before I fetched her to Minerva.As usual, I sit at the coffee table by the glass window. I hold a pen in my hand as I flip through Jamie’s itinerary and calculate.“According to the doctor, he said you are conceived with our baby for almost three weeks, which means…” I glide my finger backwards on the calendar, “Ah-ha! Our baby started to live in your belly since that night in Tokyo.”Huh, that’s a hole-in-one situation! I am actually quite good at this, ain’t I?When I am feeling complacent about it, Jamie sneers, “She isn’t
With a bright mood, I whistle a light tune as I walk down the hallway after I leave Jamie’s office. I can’t help but raise the corners of my lips as I recall a scene I saw from the latest TV series——a man impregnated his girlfriend, what will he do next? I’ve seen a lot of scenes like this on the television, but I never did expect I would be standing in those men’s shoes right now. Maybe some scripts don’t go down well, but mine did, and I am confident that it still does, and it always will. I don’t know where my confidence comes from, but I think that’s what Victor called having faith, isn’t it? He once told me, not every event in my life will tu
Pain spreads from the middle of my eyebrows across my front bone, drawing my eyebrows furrowed. I slowly open my eyes. It is at that moment I find myself not inside the van anymore. Instead, I find my surroundings cold, dark, and lonely. It even makes me feel suffocated.However, just when I am trying to move, I find my body restricted. My boy is tied to a chair, my hands are tied to the back, and my legs are tied to the legs of the chair.It is at this moment, I know I’m kidnapped.“Uhm…!”I try to scream as I struggle to break free, however I find my mouth sealed, probably with a tape. I can’t open my mouth, I can’t yell for help.
I turn to Dylan, “Is there no morale in you? You are on his side even if you know his evil plan?” oh, of course, “For you to choose the vicious side, he must have offered you some huge benefits, hasn’t he? Tell me, what is your reward? Why are you helping him?”Whereas, in a complacent tone, Dylan mentions, “To marry Jamie, of course. Jamie is my trophy.”Now he is telling me he is treating Jamie like his trophy…Fucking Dylan Watkins, how shallow can he be?I switch my eyes to Melonie Myers, “... What about her? Why is she helping him?”Dylan gives Melonie a glance, he then looks up at the air an
The locked chamber is quiet. Quieter than I could ever imagine part of the world could be.All I can hear is the echo of the water dripping, the light bulb buzzing, my thundering heartbeat, my trembling breath, and my low whimper.Tears keep flowing down my face, water keeps running in my nose; my mouth is sealed, I could only scream this loud in my throat; my body and limbs are tied up, I jumped and struggled, yet there is no way for me to break free.Prediction scenes keep flashing across my mind, I can’t help but imagine——how I am going to starve to death, how vanished I’ll be if no ones find me here; how much danger is Jamie and our child are in when I am not around, how Melonie Myers is going to hurt Jamie and our child, how late it is for anyone
