Chapter 1105
Hannah was stunned in devastation for a while. The moment she regained her composure, her first thought was to get rid of the baby as soon as possible. She turned to the doctor frantically and asked, “Doctor, when is the soonest appointment for the abortion surgery?”“If you want, I can arrange it for you next week, the earliest is next Monday.”Hannah was startled and panicked when she heard that she had to wait until Monday, and she asked anxiously, “Why do I have to wait until Monday? If it’s about money, I can pay double or ten times the price!”The situation was so serious right now, one day of delay meant a higher possibility that her pregnancy would be discovered. She couldn’t help but be in jitters.The doctor shook her head and stated, “It’s not about the money, but only clinic visits are available during the weekend, there are no scheduled operations. If you want to abort the baby, you have to wait until Monday.”“Alright… let’s do it on Monday, then.”Hannah’s expressi

Christopher said, “Mom asked you to go to the market, buy some meat on your way back, and cook lunch when you get home.”Hannah was a little agitated, but she replied calmly, “Okay, I’ll drop by the market and head home.”***Charlie and Claire were at their little orchard the entire morning, picking the vegetables.Claire was as happy as a lively and carefree 18-year-old girl. She picked the vegetables cheerfully, loosening the soil, and watering the plants seriously.Elaine was still waiting to take photos to upload onto her social media. She was on pins and needles when the couple hung out at the orchard for a very long time.When Charlie and Claire finally entered the house with a large basket of vegetables, she hurried downstairs, took out her phone, and started taking selfies and photos of the garden at every angle possible.After standing under the scorching sun and taking countless photos, she rushed back into her room and quickly applied the aloe vera gel on her exposed

Hearing that it was her grandmother who had stolen vegetables from their yard, Claire sighed helplessly and said, “Mom, if it’s grandma, just let her be. Let her pick whatever she wants, it’s just some vegetables.”Elaine blurted in disdain, “Oh no, you can’t say that. What did your grandma ever give us anyway? Did you forget how she treated us? Huh, after everything she’s done, she has the audacity to steal vegetables from our yard?! No, I can’t let her!”Claire shook her head forlornly. “Mom, don’t overthink this, okay? Grandma wants some for herself too since she sees how fresh and big our vegetables are, don’t be so stingy.”Elaine mumbled in annoyance, “You are a little traitor, hmph!” Then, she turned and headed up the stairs angrily and went back to her room.However, the more Elaine thought about it, the more she felt that they were on the losing side. They had such a wonderful vegetable garden full of top-quality vegetables, she did not even want to spare a single vegetabl

Hannah was mortified by the diagnosis, hence, she had wanted to please Lady Wilson and her husband by overcompensating them. She had obtained some extra money from selling the coffee machine, so, she used the money to buy some ribs and pork belly to cook a wholesome meal for her family.Lady Wilson frowned in dismay when she learned that Hannah had bought vegetables, and she chided her in dissatisfaction, “Oh my goodness, why did you waste money on vegetables?”Hannah asked in surprise, “Mom, we can’t just eat meat! We have to have a balanced meal for all the vitamins and nutrients our body needs.”Lady Wilson pulled her to the kitchen and pointed to the basket of vegetables she had just stolen and said, “See that? I stole all those fresh vegetables from Charlie’s yard. They have a large vegetable garden in their yard that we can simply pick by reaching into their fence. We don’t have to spend money on vegetables in the future.”Hannah suddenly remembered that she had seen Charlie’

After lunch, Zeke made arrangements to send a truckload of daffodils to Charlie’s house.The daffodils he sent were all high-quality grades that were very lush and green, and none of them were flowering as per Charlie’s request.Daffodils looked very similar to chives especially when they were not blooming. People in the city could not distinguish plants very clearly. Also, most people who ate chives had only seen chives sold in the market that were tied in a bundle, but they had never seen chives growing in the ground, so they were unable to differentiate chives and daffodils in plain sight and would often get confused by the similarities.Chive was a vegetable fancied by many people. It was an indispensable amazing ingredient when it came to stir-frying, soup, making pies, or dumplings. However, daffodils were not edible.Why? Because daffodils contained narcissus.Narcissus was a toxic alkaloid.When Elaine told Charlie that Lady Wilson liked to eat chives, he immediately

Hannah hurriedly asked in a honeyed tone, “Mom, why do you need eggs and flour?”Lady Wilson answered, “I want to make eggs and chives dumplings for dinner!”Harold shrieked in surprise, “Grandma, are we having dumplings tonight?”“Yes!” Lady Wilson uttered, smiling ear to ear, “Do you like chives and eggs?”Harold giggled. “Of course! Oh, I love it so much! I haven’t eaten eggs and chives dumplings for a long time! I’m starting to drool when you say it!”Christopher also smiled and said, “Mom, why do you want to eat eggs and chives dumplings suddenly? You haven’t made dumplings for a long time.”Lady Wilson laughed and said, “I’m happy today! So happy that I could fill myself with eggs and chives dumplings!”“Wonderful!” Christopher huffed with a sigh, “I haven’t had dumplings for a long time, I can finally satisfy my cravings today!”Hannah asked, “Mom, other than eggs and flour, do I need to buy some chives?”Lady Wilson grinned triumphantly, “Charlie bought a lot of fresh

Elaine was so angry right then that she almost exploded out of rage.She had just warned Charlie to beware of the old lady in the morning, but instead of taking her warning seriously, he had bought so many fresh chives home!Great, now they were like a charity center to the old lady and her family!If it was in the past, she would have scolded Charlie already, but she didn’t have the courage to do so now.At this moment, Claire asked Charlie in the room, “Dear, what do you want to have for dinner?”Charlie smiled coyly and asked, “You don’t usually care about these things, what’s with the change of attitude? Why do you want to know what I want to eat tonight?”Claire pasted on a childlike smile and said, “I want to go pick some vegetables in the garden. Tell me what you want to eat, I’ll go pick them in the garden. What do you think? Does it sound like a good idea?”Charlie nodded and said with a warm smile, “Let’s go together then, just like what we did this morning.”Claire’s

Christopher whined sheepishly, “Okay, okay, you’re right, Mom. I’ll listen to you, okay?”Lady Wilson glared at him and urged, “Put a little more effort, mince the meat finely and make it tender!”“Yes, Ma’am…” Christopher answered dryly.By evening, the minced meat was done, the eggs were fried, and a large basket of ‘chives’ was washed. All of the ingredients were placed on the cutting board.Lady Wilson made the dumpling fillings herself. First, she mixed the fried eggs and chives with the seasoning for the eggs and chives dumpling. Then, she mixed another bowl of fillings with pork and chives.The rest of the Wilson family started to drool as they watched Lady Wilson make the dumpling fillings. After all, they had been through all kinds of turbulences and misfortunes recently. It was a rare opportunity for them to have such hearty and warm homemade dumplings.After mixing the fillings, Lady Wilson personally taught everyone how to wrap the dumplings. Honestly speaking, their
