Tatiana took Molly's hand. "Molly, I really feel bad for you. Mrs. Kingston mistreats you, doesn't she?"Molly didn't dare to speak ill of other people. So, she shook her head. "She… She just lost her temper today.""You must've had a sad childhood with a foster parent like her. If you are willing, why don't you become my goddaughter? "You won't be bullied anymore with the Heath family's protection."Molly was stunned. She stammered, "I… I…"She knew that Tatiana was just trying to talk her out of pressing charges. But she never intended to press charges against Krystal. The door was suddenly opened. It was Yale who had showered and changed into a new set of clothes. "Molly!" Yale looked anxious, but he was momentarily stunned when he saw Tatiana. Then he realized why Tatiana was there. His gaze quickly turned cautious."Mrs. Heath."Tatiana thought about what Yale said back at the Heath Residence. She understood how he felt after she met Molly. So, she wasn't angry
Tatiana thought about what Olivia said on the way home.Honestly, her attention was completely on Krystal and Molly. She wasn't in the mood to care about anyone else. Olivia's words made her feel like something was wrong. Back when Krystal was driven out of the Heath family, Lisa was the one who said she wanted to talk some sense into Krystal. She went to where Krystal was and never returned. She gave Tatiana a call and told her that she wanted to stay there and take care of Krystal. Krystal didn't have any experience taking care of babies. Lisa was a meticulous person and had been taking care of Krystal since she was a child. It was only natural that the two of them were close.She got back to the Heath Residence as she was spacing out and walked right into Mason. Mason looked at her. "What are you lost in thought about? Did you accomplish what you went to do?"Tatiana snapped back to reality. "Do you have a copy of the video that Yale played?""Linus kept a copy. Wh
Tatiana frowned."Would it be because she lost her own child and raised Krystal since she was a child? So, she treats Krystal like her own child?""That's not right."Mason was sure that Lisa was suspicious. "She has never looked people in the eyes in the years she has been working in the Heath Residence."She kept her head lowered all the time. I had thought she was just being reserved. But do you think it's possible that she did it on purpose? So that we wouldn't look at her face too closely?"Lisa had her head held high when she was out. She didn't mind showing her face to others. After listening to what Mason said, Tatiana realized that other than the days when Lisa wasn't by her side, she would always have her head lowered in a subservient manner."Mason, are you suspecting that Krystal…""You're thinking the same thing, aren't you?"Initially, Mason only thought Lisa's actions were suspicious. Since Tatiana wanted to look at the security footage, he thought he might
In the past, she thought she had found true love. But she finally understood that the love of a man was fleeting. The only people who truly loved her were her family."Lisa, I finally understand that no matter what I do, my family might yell at me, but they will still clean up my mess."Look at Mom. She said she didn't want to do anything for me anymore, but she still cooked some soup and brought it to that bitch in person."Krystal said smugly, "My dad said he wanted to cut ties with me, but he didn't mean it. He probably already came to an agreement with the Kingstons in private."The door opened right after she said that. Linus brought a doctor with him."Linus, what's the situation?"Linus didn't say much. His tone was cold. "I just got someone to give you a checkup. You shouldn't have done that when you're pregnant.""Linus, you know that I've always been physically fit. It's just beating someone up. That's no problem for me. "The only issue is I got some stitches on my
"Mr. Heath, what are you doing? Ms. Heath is still pregnant," Lisa said nervously. "It's because she's still pregnant that I want her to stop doing anything stupid.""Even so, there's no need to lock her up. Why don't you let me in so I can take care of her? I'm worried about her being alone in there." Lisa knew Krystal very well. She had been spoiled rotten since she was young. She was completely vulnerable to setbacks.Linus took a step closer to Lisa. His face, which looked a lot like Mason's, exuded a lot of pressure. It made Lisa feel uneasy."You seem especially concerned about my sister, Ms. Walker."Lisa clutched her sleeves tightly. "That's true. My baby died shortly after its birth. I raised Ms. Heath. It's only natural that I care about her.""No wonder. I feel like she is becoming more like you in terms of her appearance and personality."His words sent shockwaves through Lisa's mind. Krystal, who was still oblivious, said, "What are you saying, Linus? I'm the d
Some memories were given new meaning when the possibilities came to light. "The results will be out soon. Don't make any assumptions before that," Mason said."Understood."The butler came over. "Mr. Heath, this is the information on the Walker family."Mason opened the document. He got visibly upset the more he read. "The Walkers used to be a family of fishermen in a fishing village. They have been poor for generations, right until Lisa saved Mrs. Heath's life when she was ten. "She started working for the Benson family and worked her way up until she worked for Mrs. Heath." It should've been an inspiring story, but the Walker family became local bullies due to their connection with Tatiana. They went from a family of fishermen to a group of gangsters. They worked as loan sharks and even opened up some shell companies that were suspected of money laundering.Mason threw the document to Tatiana. "Take a good look for yourself."Tatiana said anxiously, "Mason, I really di
Molly felt moved when she looked at Tatiana's concerned gaze. She had never felt motherly love before. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Tatiana, who was around her mother's age.It didn't matter if Tatiana's feelings were genuine or just a show. At that very moment, she felt like someone actually cared about her."Mrs. Heath, this is too valuable. I can't possibly accept this.""Child, just take it. I'm not using it to make you change your mind. I really just want you to get well soon."Linus put down the fruits and flowers he was holding."Ms. Kingston, it's our fault this time. My mother and I are not here to convince you to change your mind. We sincerely hope you'll recover soon."Yale looked at the two of them. Clearly, he didn't believe that they were so kind-hearted. The truth was that it didn't matter if the result of the DNA test was out or not. The Heaths planned to cut ties with Krystal either way.They would've helped her if she was even remotely remor
Molly's pain subsided with Tatiana's comforting words. She quickly felt drowsy as she had eaten her fill. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.Tatiana asked in a whisper, "How is she?"Olivia shook her head. "She's safe now, but it'll be very hard for her to get pregnant.""How… How could that be? She's still so young…" Tatiana was a woman too. She knew how painful it was for a woman to lose the ability to conceive a child."It has to do with the poison she was fed after she was born. The dosage was very small and wasn't enough to kill her instantly. Instead, it affected her body gradually. "Then, she was washed away by the water unexpectedly. That was how she survived and wasn't poisoned to death. "She crossed paths with the Kingstons after that. They spent quite a lot of money to nurse her back to health. She wouldn't have lived so many years otherwise."Olivia sighed. "She had only begun to get slightly better. Her pregnancy took a lot out of her. It's unfortunate that she
