Chapter 1782
"The paint on this car is a new type of paint that White Maple Group is researching, made from a special material. Currently, the paint’s production is very limited, so it's quite precious. In addition, because of the collision, the whole car needs to be repainted, so the cost naturally adds up," the driver replied.Lisa felt like she was being swindled. It was a new type of paint developed by White Maple Group that was made from a special material? That meant the cost was whatever Terry claimed it was!"If you would like to handle this legally, then feel free to call the police, Miss Quest," the driver suggested.The problem was, if she handled it legally, she couldn't afford to pay the compensation! Also, after she gave birth, she would probably need to spend even more money, and after that...Lisa's eyes suddenly widened in shock. She lowered her head, looking at her flat belly.She... She wanted to give birth to the baby?"Miss Quest? Miss Quest?" the driver's voice echoed in

No, she absolutely could not let him know, or things would get even more complicated between them."Why do you look so uneasy sitting next to me? Am I that scary?" she suddenly heard Terry ask."I... I'm just worried about the compensation!" Lisa said nervously."If there was no compensation, would you never ride in my car again?" he asked.She bit her lip, unsure of how to answer him.But Terry clearly didn't expect a response anyway. He turned his head and looked out the window.The car stopped outside a well-known restaurant in the city. They had been there before when they were still dating, and they had some dishes that she enjoyed.However, when Lisa saw the table full of food today, she inexplicably didn't have much of an appetite. It's strange because all the dishes Terry ordered were dishes that she loved."Why aren't you eating?" Terry looked at Lisa and asked, "Is it that unbearable for you to sit down and have a meal with me?"Lisa forced a chuckle and said, "No, y

"Anyone with a bit of general knowledge can tell from this report that you're pregnant. Don't tell me the doctor who examined you doesn't even have that kind of basic knowledge," Terry said.Lisa bit her lip. After a moment of silence, she said, "It's none of your business!""You're pregnant with my baby. How is that none of my business?" Terry retorted."How do you know it's yours?!" she rebutted without thinking.The air in the private room instantly froze as Terry's gaze darkened. "Then whose is it? Gale Porter's?"Lisa felt as if she was being strangled by an invisible hand. She couldn't utter a single word.And Terry's gaze made her feel even more uneasy. She had a feeling that if she said "yes," Gale would definitely be in big trouble."No, it's not Gale's," she finally managed to force those words out of her mouth after a long minute.Lisa's pale face and trembling body pricked at Terry's conscience. What's wrong with him? He almost lost his temper.The pregnancy was su

She was rendered speechless, unable to refute. His next words only fueled her anger further. "This serves as evidence so that you won't get to deny it later!""What... What kind of person do you think I am?" she retorted angrily."Aren't you only having dinner with me now because you don't want to pay compensation for the accident?" he accused."I... I never said I wouldn't pay! I just hope you can be more reasonable with the compensation amount," Lisa nervously argued."So, you'll take responsibility, right?""Of course!" she replied firmly."Then will you take responsibility for me as well?" he asked with an intense stare.The gaze felt like it lasted an eternity.Lisa felt like she had fallen for Terry's verbal trap. She forced a dry laugh and quickly lowered her head, continuing to eat her food.A flicker of disappointment flashed in Terry's eyes. Was she still unwilling to be with him? Despite carrying his baby, she continued to resist him.And he still bore the burden

Lisa didn't say anything. She shook off Terry's hand and walked away.Terry kept his gaze fixed on her until she disappeared from view. He lowered his head, looking at his trembling hand. The brief contact had once again caused his body to ache.However, it wouldn't be long before the blood parasite would be completely removed from his body. After that, he would finally be able to be with Lisa again!Upon returning to the mansion, Terry found Monica waiting for him. She had been coming to the mansion every couple of days to remove the blood parasite from his body. The process consisted of seven sessions in total to ensure complete removal.This procedure was excruciatingly painful, and there had been cases of individuals succumbing to the pain and losing their lives."Let's start," Terry told Monica flatly."Is it really worth it to do this for her?" Monica sneered. "I heard she's still going out with Gale Porter. She has no intention of getting back with you. You haven't told h
Chapter 1787
She was reluctant to part with the baby, but if she chose to give birth, not only would she be mocked, her parents would also be judged. Her only options seemed to be to secretly have an abortion or... marry Terry.Marry Terry? Lisa chuckled bitterly at the thought. She couldn't believe she would consider that possibility again after five years of separation.But would getting married because she was pregnant bring happiness?Lisa gently caressed her belly, lost in thought.Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Serenity was taken aback when she learned that Jackson intended to let Fred stay with the Valor family to keep Jackie company."But his relationship with the Valor family..." Serenity hesitated. While she never wanted to drag the boy into her grievances with Jenny Hall, Jenny Hall was currently imprisoned and was likely to receive a severe sentence. How would the boy feel? Would he develop a resentment for the Valor family?She didn't mind if the boy hated her, but she was co

Serenity found it amusing that Lucas would ask her the same question as Jack."No, I don't regret it. If you hadn't pushed me away and handed Caden to me, I would have been the one to fall. You saved me and Caden, so of course I wanted to save you too. Even if it were someone else and not you, I would have done the same thing," Serenity said earnestly.Lucas smiled bitterly, "After all these years, you haven't changed at all. When we were children, you desperately held onto my hands too. I really miss those days...""We can't live in the past forever. People grow up," Serenity said, implying that he should let go.Of course he understood what she was implying."Yes, people grow up," Lucas said weakly, "Serenity, were you telling the truth when you said that even if I had met you earlier than Jackson, you still wouldn't have fallen in love with me?"Serenity was taken aback. When she met Lucas' gaze, her heart skipped a beat.His eyes seemed to be telling her that he knew what sh

"Serenity, in this lifetime, you've chosen Jackson. But if we were to meet again in the next life, would you choose me?""Even in the next life, she’ll still belong only to me!" A cold voice interrupted Lucas.Lucas tensed up as he turned towards Jackson, who was standing nearby.Jackson stared at Lucas with a mix of ferocity and resentment."Mr. Valor," one of the bodyguards spoke up.Seeing Jackson, Serenity instinctively let go of Lucas' hands. Lucas keenly felt the sudden absence of her touch.Jackson stepped forward and addressed Lucas, "Remember this, Lucas. In this lifetime, the next lifetime, and the lifetimes to come, Serenity will always be mine. So don't even think about it!"Lucas glared at Jackson. "You're still the same, always doing whatever it takes to get what you want, making sure no one else stands a chance.""If I desire something, why should I give others a chance?" Jackson retorted.Tension hung in the air as the two men locked eyes.Serenity quickly tur
