Mona opened a bag of chips and sat on the sofa. She crossed her legs and said, “You drank an entire bottle of wine and got so drunk that you fainted on the ground. When I helped you up, you said that you were going to find Alex. I couldn’t stop you. You also said that if I tried to stop you, you would jump into the lake. What else could I do? I could only watch as you got on the cruise ship...”Anna was dumbfounded. She was completely stunned.“You mean that I insisted on going to the cruise ship? How could that be? How could I do something like that?”Mona shrugged. “What do you think? You were a crying mess. I didn’t dare to stop you as there were many people around and didn’t want to cause a scene. So I could only help send you there. I tried my best to talk to the workers and asked them to arrange for a separate room for you. How was I supposed to know that you wouldn’t enter your own room and went into Alex’s room instead.”“But... How could I have his room card? How did I get

“Why wouldn’t you keep it?” Anna immediately regretted it after asking the question.‘Why wouldn’t she keep it? Of course, it’s because Thaddeus didn’t give Mona enough security. The two must be quite unhappy. Otherwise, Mona would not run away and stay alone in a hotel.’Anna did not continue asking. As a woman, she fully understood Mona’s feelings.“We women have the right to give birth. Our womb is ours, so your choice whether or not to keep it. I’ll support you.”Mona smiled. “We share the same view.”“Actually, I quite admire you. You’re brave and wise. It’s Thaddeus’ loss that he doesn’t cherish you. You’re right to put your faith in yourself. As for those rotten people, you can just throw them away like garbage!”Anna said that to both herself and Mona.Mona nodded and hummed softly.She thought of the scene when she went to the airport this morning and argued with Thaddeus. Jennifer went to find Ginny, and the two broke out in conflict at a restaurant. Jennifer was so a

“Mom, this is my job. I signed the contract long ago. If I break the contract, I’ll have to pay a lot of money. I can’t take care of you at home during this time. In fact, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Bobby and Millie for me. I’m sorry.”“No, it’s no trouble. I’m very happy to see the two little ones. I don’t feel as bored when they’re accompanying me as well. I just want you to come home soon.”Mona pursed her lips. For some reason, when she heard Jennifer’s words, she felt somewhat touched.“Mom, did you go find Ginny?”‘Yes, I went to talk to her about you. I warned her not to ruin your relationship with Thaddeus or else, but she acted all righteous. I was furious.”“Mom, thank you for taking my anger out for me, but don’t get angry because of this. It’s bad for your health. It isn’t worth it. Just leave them be.”“No can do. Don’t worry, Mona. I’ll keep an eye on them for you so you can work in peace.”“Don’t be silly, Mom. It’s not what you think at all.” Thadde

The man searched for a high-end restaurant on his mobile phone, followed the navigation, and arrived at his destination after driving for about twenty minutes.When the car parked in the parking space, Alex’s phone rang. Anna glanced at the caller ID on the screen: Vivi.“You go in first and wait for me.” Alex threw Anna a glance. Anna very wisely got out of the car. When she closed the car door, Alex answered his call. His expression when he spoke to Vivian became much softer and indulgent.Anna’s heart felt vaguely disappointed, but then she remembered that this man never belonged to her. What qualification did she have to ask him for anything?She turned around and went into the restaurant alone.In the car, Alex brought the phone to his ear. As Vivian’s reproachful voice questioned him, he glanced to the side at Anna’s figure. His heart felt a little upset.“Alex, where did you go last night? Don’t lie to me, saying you were at home and didn’t get my call. I waited at your ho

Anna suddenly realized that they were too close and how inappropriate it was. She hurriedly pushed Alex’s shoulder and deliberately created a distance between them.It was only after pushing him away did she realize that his arm was bleeding. It looked quite serious. “Hey, you’re injured. Let’s go to the hospital to deal with the wound.”Alex looked sideways at the wound on his arm. It was only when sharp pain came in bursts he realized he was indeed hurt quite badly. He gave the car keys to Anna and said in a low voice, “You drive. Take me to the hospital.”Anna took the keys and hurriedly headed over to Alex’s car. She unlocked the door to sit in the driver’s seat, set the navigation on her phone to the nearest hospital, and drove to her destination.Along the way, she noticed how badly injured Alex was. It was hard for him to even lift his arm.When they arrived at the hospital, Anna helped Alex to the orthopedic department. After some tests, it was finally confirmed that he ha
