A frown crossed Tedmond’s face when he saw the two women sitting in front of him. They each had forced smiles on their faces as they stared at him.

“Hello, brother!” Maxine said, batting her eyelashes. “I didn’t get to see her eyes earlier. She does look like you with those sparkling eyes.”

Bianca raised her head to look at Tedmond, and seeing the frown on his face, she knew they were people he wasn’t comfortable with.

The woman next to Maxine was Evelyn, and her fake smile looked more like a grimace with the way one side of her face twitched and knotted.

“She looks more like that maid,” Evelyn claimed. “The maid who seduced my husband!”

“Right, isn’t it?” Maxine said with a little smile on her face.

Their voices were loud enough to catch the attention of a few diners. First, they made it seem like they were family, and then they hinted that he was an illegitimate child.

“I was pissed when Tedmond took after his maid mother instead of my husband,” Evelyn said, acting pitiful. “I thoug

  • CHAPTER 471

    Tedmond sat in the chair, blown away by everything that was happening and the words being thrown around.His gaze was glued to the large screen in front of him, resting on the wide table.The place he was in wasn’t just any room. It was the CCTV control room in the hospital. From there, he could see both rooms: Simon’s office and the one where Neil was. He could also view the hallways clearly.The walls were lined with monitors showing different parts of the mansion, the gates, the corridors, the garden, and even the hospital’s private ward.I had no idea she was going to bring me up in the discussion, he thought.Tedmond grew even more curious, trying to keep up with the conversation unfolding on the screen.‘The situation and hers were so similar, how could Evelyn not see it herself?’ he wondered. ‘Or is she trying to ignore it since the man in question happens to be her son?’He knew the similarities, and that was why he had set up a similar situation — to see the reactions of bot

    Lisa couldn’t believe it.Not only had she made up her mind to return, but she was also ready to take whatever came her way for choosing to return to the family after what happened, and now she was going to be sharing a house with Alicia?There was no way she was going to let that happen, especially since she wouldn’t be able to use the baby against them anymore.There was another baby now, and hers wasn’t the only baby in the family. And not only did Alicia bear triplets, but that was triple the baby in her belly.Alicia was probably going to cause a lot of trouble in the house, and from experience, Lisa knew they would all take Alicia’s side because of her family background.Evelyn’s head whipped toward her, shocked by the sudden outburst, while Tina’s face drained of color.Lisa’s hands were shaking as she pointed toward the door, her chest heaving.“You can all call her whatever you want, but she’s not taking my place!”“How can the mistress come live with the family?” she demande

    Evelyn hurried toward the doctor, eyes wide with concern as she grabbed his arm.“Is she okay?” she asked. “How did it go?”Simon frowned slightly at how tight her grip was, then adjusted his glasses, his gaze turning professional.“Mrs. Griffin,” he said evenly, “you can’t look into someone else’s report. Are you family?”Evelyn paused, her grip loosening as her lips parted. For a moment, she said nothing. The hallway went quiet except for the distant hum of machines.“She’s…” Evelyn took a deep breath, forcing the words out. “She’s my son’s girlfriend.”Simon blinked, his brows furrowing slightly.“Your son’s girlfriend?” he repeated. “I thought Miss Lisa was your son’s wife.”Evelyn’s throat tightened. She lowered her gaze, shame burning under her skin.“She is,” she admitted quietly. “The woman inside… she’s my son’s mistress. She’s pregnant, and I need to know how she’s doing.”Simon glanced at her, then at Tina, who stood beside her awkwardly, her expression caught between con

  • CHAPTER 468

    Back at the hospital.Inside the ward, instead of an operation to save a baby, Simon and the nurses sat around a small table in the bright room, cards scattered in front of them.Neil was perched on the edge of his chair, grinning as he held his cards close.“Ha! I win again!” one of the nurses shouted, slapping a card down and leaning back in her chair.Laughter erupted around the table.Neil threw his head back, laughing so hard his shoulders shook. “You’re cheating! I saw you peek!”“I did not!” the nurse protested, cheeks flushed with amusement.Simon, sitting opposite them, tried to hide a smile as he shuffled his cards.“Careful, or I’ll beat all of you next round,” he said, voice calm but eyes twinkling.Neil leaned forward, pretending to whisper. “Hey, Doctor, do you think the noise is… going to carry out? The other patients might hear us.”Simon glanced around, then grinned. “Relax. This room’s soundproof. The boss made sure of that.”Neil’s jaw dropped. “Seriously?”“Seriou

  • CHAPTER 467

    In all his thirty years of living, Dr. Simon Avery had never been dragged outside a hospital like that, nor had he ever been kidnapped or brought to a mansion so grand. Just looking at it felt unreal.‘There is no way my family could afford the ransom, ’ he thought.From the lavishness of the house, the ransom would probably be astronomical. But perhaps he hadn’t been kidnapped for ransom at all. Maybe it was something else entirely. Or perhaps the house belonged to a criminal hiding from the law who, for some reason, couldn’t go to a hospital for treatment and had to bring a doctor here, and he happened to be the one they could find.Now, he was being carried like a sack of potatoes, led through a mansion whose interior he had no idea about, with no clue what awaited him.They passed through endless corridors before finally stopping at a large door.“We are finally here,” Thomas said, pushing the door open and stepping inside.The room was furnished elegantly, with sunlight stream

    The doctor hurried toward Hino, who was carrying Alicia carefully in his arms. Neil’s face was pale, his hands clutching Hino’s shirt tightly as he whimpered in pain.“What happened?” the doctor asked quickly. “Did she eat something she wasn’t supposed to? Or have you taken any kind of medication recently?”Hino shook his head, breathing hard. “No. She just suddenly started holding her stomach and said it hurt. She didn’t eat anything strange, at least not that I saw.”“Alright,” the doctor said, gesturing to the nurses nearby. “We’ll need to check her immediately. She’s pregnant, right?”“Yes,” Hino replied.“Then we don’t have time to waste,” the doctor said urgently. “We’ll take her to the emergency room for an ultrasound and make sure the baby is fine. Sir, you can come with her, but I need space to work.”The nurses hurried forward, one bringing a stretcher, another preparing the equipment while asking questions.Neil’s voice came out weak and shaky. “It hurts so much… Please sav
