A few years later, he happened to be vacationing in China when he learned that the Xu family had fallen upon hard times. What goes round comes around, or so they say. In fact, any resentment that he had harbored was simply swept away when he saw her face. He noted as her pictures were handed to him by the detective he had sent to follow her, that she was so beautiful, even while pregnant. Once again, he was smitten by her. Jerome had let Xyrille work for him in the company after Zoey had died. People were expecting to see Xyrille promoted quickly, but Jerome didn\'t even regularize her. Soon, she left her job. Xyrille was wearing a simple and elegant dress suit, and her makeup was light and natural. She held a thermos in her hand and smiled to welcome her up. \"Jerome, you’re back!\" \"Didn\'t I tell you not to come here? Who will take care of Ruirui at home? You should take good care of him.\" \"You always stay up late and work overtime a
Thelma\'s heart went out to her mistress. \"Mr. Fu, how can you blame your wife? Usually you often go out on business or work overtime. She manages everything at home. Ruirui is getting bigger and bigger. Toddlers are much more difficult than infants, and sitting in the children\'s seat upsets him. His voice gets hoarse from crying too much. Who knew that this was going to happen?\" After a pause, seeing that Jerome was agitated, she added, \"It\'s all the fault of the driver who hit the car!\" Thelma and Xyrille’s eyes met. Xyrille saw that Jerome’s eyes were downcast. Thelma had skillfully shifted the blame. \"I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have raised my voice, sir.\" \"No, you were right.\" The past few months, he has seen that his son has been properly cared for. He never had any more marks on him, and he seemed much healthier. He had gained a lot of weight and was growing fast. The woman who had caused the accident soon arrived. The
Landon, wearing a black stiff overcoat, came against the light and walked across the room. \"Landon...\" Zoey turned and rushed to him. Landon held her in his arms. He took off his coat and wrapped it around Zoey. He said in a low voice, \"don\'t worry, I won\'t allow you to be wronged.\" With that, he handed Jerome a stack of videotapes. \"Mr. Fu, if you want to protect your future wife, please tell her to investigate before jumping to conclusions,” he said, addressing Jerome rather than Xyrille. “It was her who didn\'t obey the traffic rules. She had parked her car in the middle of the road. You should be glad that no other vehicles were involved, as it could have been a serial accident.\" He wrapped his hand around Zoey. Xyrille stared at the video tape and turned pale. \"I just wanted to stop and at a toy store, as Ruirui wanted a toy. I was just going to buy one quickly. I really didn\'t mean to...\" She was shaking in anger.
It was as if the wheels inside Xyrille\'s head began turning. Thelma was relieved to see that Xyrille was scheming. She could not allow her mistress to let her emotions get the best of her. If Zoey can\'t let her be happy with her husband, then Ruirui will have to make up for what his mother has taken from her! \"What about the blood transfusion? Have you seen to it that they clean that information up?\" Thelma smiled. \"Oh, you\'re lucky, your blood type is the same as Zoey\'s. Unless it\'s a DNA test, it\'s impossible to tell.\" Xyrille was now in better spirits, to Thelma\'s relief. Neither woman was alerted to the fact that someone had been standing at the door of the restroom, and had eavesdropped on the entire conversation. The person quietly slipped away. Jerome was standing in the administrator\'s office, looking at the film of Ruirui\'s head scans. He stood by the window. Suddenly, his assistant rushed in. \"Mr. Fu!\"
Although Jerome loved his son, he wasn’t able to express his feelings for him. Though he would often see parents his age holding their children, kissing and cuddling them, he himself could not. He had not been raised this way. But Ruirui has always been affectionate towards him. Whenever Jerome comes home, Ruirui will cling to his neck and refuse to let go. Whenever he’d leave, it seemed, Ruirui would get upset. Upon becoming a father, he should have slowed down the pace of his career and focused more on raising his son. Thinking of this, he gently took up Ruirui small hand and gently kissed it. He whispered, \"Son, don\'t worry, Dad will never let anyone hurt you. \"I promise I will spend more time with you,\" he said to his sleeping son. He squeezed his son’s little hand. \"Dad will take you to play ball games, teach you to ride a horse. We’ll get you games, and books, and we’ll travel to many places...and have so much fun...\" He had no
Zoey was about to go upstairs when she suddenly spun around. She looked around, as if searching for something that had caught her attention. There was no one there. Landon seemed suspicious. He imagined him asking her, \"What\'s the matter?\" He couldn’t hear a word they were saying. He was too far from them. Maybe she felt his presence, Jerome thought. Can people sense it when they’re being watched from afar? Landon led her upstairs. He asked the nurse to cook a bowl of ginger soup for her, fearing that she might catch a cold. Zoey could feel Landon\'s love for her. They went to the same school, but they had an awkward encounter when he had confessed to her that he liked her, and she could not reciprocate his feelings. Then a year ago, he had saved her life and cared for her. His feelings for her were real. When she was feeling better, she began to fall in love with him and they started dating.
The next day, around five o\'clock, Zoey woke up from yet another dream. The rainstorm had subsided. She turned over, but she couldn\'t sleep. She stood up, brushed her teeth, and opened the refrigerator to get a bottle of cold water. She had developed a taste for ice-cold water during the time she had spent abroad. It wasn’t time for her medicine yet, but she wanted to be ready with it. She liked to take it with ice-cold water, because the medicine made her body feel hot. Not far away, a tall figure was stood there like a sculpture, motionless and wet. All around him were debris from last night’s thunderstorm. Occasionally, a cleaner passed him and tried to talk to him, but he merely nodded politely. He said nothing. Zoey rummaged around for her medicine box. It was nowhere in sight. Had she left it in her car? Not having her medicine with her made her very uncomfortable, and she briefly considered waking Landon up so he could accompany her there
He wanted so bad to tell her. She wouldn’t allow him to touch her, but he had seen her cry and hug Landon. She really wanted to move on from him. In her mind, she was afraid of him, but also pitied him. His offer was quite desperate, and it did not sound like him at all. She knew him well, he was cunning and intelligent. Whatever made him think that she would separate from Landon because he wanted to separate from Xyrille? Truth be told, she now saw him as a despicable man, and she could not even remember why she had liked him so much when she was younger. His character was questionable. Have you forgotten how you treated me? What you’ve done to the Xu family? A flame spread through Jerome\'s heart. He wanted to tell her about everything, about Xyrille, about their son. However, he didn’t think he should tell her now. Jerome didn’t seem to have anything else to say. Zoey picked up the medicine that had fallen on the ground and turned back. Before l
