Chapter 568
"The child's condition is quite dire at the moment. If we continue to delay, there might be a risk to his health. You haven't settled the outstanding fees before, and the hospital has a policy against providing further medication to the child."Ethan suspected it was another scheme from Donna, so he spoke in an icy tone, "You've got the wrong number. I'm not the child's father." With that, he hung up the phone expressionlessly.Leyton, who had heard the conversation, remained silent. 'It seemed that Robin's illness led to his hospitalization, and Ms. Jolie, who had no money, abandoned the child at the hospital. This sounds exactly like something she would do.'However, no matter what, the child is innocent. If we neglect the situation, something might happen. What Mrs. Arnold Sr. cares most about is the offspring of the Arnold family. If it weren't for Ms. Jent's inability to conceive, there wouldn't have been any opportunity for Ms. Jolie either.'Originally, Ethan was heading to

Donna and Ethan sat in the car.Donna had always been defiant. In the past, she never backed down even when the two had argued and given each other the silent treatment.Ethan had always been the first to back down.In fact, Ethan wavered when Donna knelt down.Donna stubbornly looked out the window."My parents' wellbeing is none of your business. Mr. Arnold, you're already engaged, so you better not let your fiancee hear of this. We should keep our distance."Ethan looked straight ahead and focused on the road, "Remind me who shamelessly declared at the Arnold residence that she was going to be Mrs. Arnold again? You don't need to put on an act in front of me."Donna gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I'd go to the Arnold residence and face your grandma's judgment if it weren't for Robin? Besides, it's not like you ever cared about our son in the past, so you don't need to start now. Anyway, just drop us off by the road. I'll go home on my own after this."Ethan's gaze

'But why should he? He's my child. I gave birth to him. Why should I let her benefit from him? I won't let them get their way, even if it costs me my life,' thought Donna.One of the nurses in the hallway heard Donna's heart-wrenching cries and thought, 'How bone-chilling. She might be a lunatic. If she weren't someone Mr. Arnold had brought over, we would've called the cops.'Meanwhile, Evelyn immediately took a cab to the hospital after she learned something had happened to Robin.Robin initially had a cold and a fever. After that, he was suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. Fortunately, he got an early diagnosis. The hospital immediately began searching for a matching bone marrow donor.Ethan's bone marrow matched with Robin's; bone marrow from a blood relative typically had a higher success rate for transplantations.Ethan did not refuse the transplantation and agreed to the procedure that very night.The two were wheeled into the operating theater together.Meanwhile, Donna ca

The procedure took four hours. By the following day, the two's conditions had already stabilized.By the time Ethan woke up, it was already bright out.Leyton stood by his bed and informed him of Robin's condition."The kid's out of the woods now. He got an early diagnosis and will recover in three months post-transplant. There's no need to worry, Mr. Arnold."Ethan fell into deep thought.'Three months... That's when Madelyn comes back.'Ethan coughed. When Leyton saw Ethan about to get off the bed, he immediately stopped him.He said, "You can't get off the bed yet, Mr. Arnold. You'll need 10 days to recover.""Madelyn... She... Did she call?" At the thought of Madelyn, he felt the eagerness to see her and also the fear of not knowing how to explain the situation to her. The matter about the child was like a ticking time bomb.Leyton pursed his lips and hesitated before speaking, "Ms. Jent did call an hour before you came out of surgery. I explained that you've been handling

Five days later, two men and two women gathered to play cards at Supreme World.Zach sat opposite Kai, and the two played against each other. The pile of chips in front of Zach grew bigger and bigger, all of which he had won from Kai."You don't seem angry after Ethan kicked you out of Azure Corporation. In fact, how come you even seem happy?"Zach did not reply.On the other hand, Kai kept on losing one round after another. He had already lost tens of thousands of dollars to Zach and was losing interest in the game.He felt irritated and wanted to smoke. However, Zach could not stand the smell of cigarettes, so Kai only chewed on his cigarette.'How odd. I've never once won against him whenever we play each other,' he thought.Just then, an attendant outside opened the door.Wincy looked at the various women in the room. Then, she turned to the scantily clad woman practically pressed against Kai and said with slight displeasure, "Why are you looking for me?"Kai smiled and ha

Kai was no longer in the mood. He walked over to the couch and sat down as the two hostesses followed him and moved into his arms.Wincy turned around and stormed over. Then, she threw her Chanel bag at Kai, which he blocked with his hand."Enough of your tantrums," he said with slight anger.'Who's he to be mad at me?' thought Wincy.She retorted, "You called me over just to embarrass me and use me as a toy for your amusement?"Kai crossed his legs and pulled one of the hostesses closer, "Amusement? Not at all. Ms. Burton, you must be well aware that we're all adults here. It's just fun and games. Some things are not meant to be taken seriously.""You're saying all this because you don't want to take responsibility for what happened. You know that was my..." Wincy was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.Meanwhile, Kai was not bothered at all."Your what? Your first time? So what if I knew? I've taken so many women's first time; am I supposed to take responsibility for ever

Yvonne sensed the hostility in his eyes. At this moment, she truly believed Zach would kill her, but she did not resist in any way.Zach said, "Think it through. I'm not a gentleman, and I don't like anyone meddling in my affairs. Next time... I won't guarantee you'll live to see the next sunrise."When he noticed that she was about to pass out, he loosened his grip.Yvonne covered her chest as she gasped for air. She bent over and coughed continuously.Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she watched the car drive away. She then collapsed weakly to the ground.She clenched her teeth. Despite all the suffering, she stubbornly stood up unsteadily. She then got into her car and quickly followed him.But this time, Yvonne lost track of him.She stared at the bustling airport. She searched the airport, but she could not find Zach.She thought, 'Back when Madelyn persistently pursued him, he didn't fall for her. Now that she's the future Mrs. Arnold, Zach's actually startin

The courses at Paris Art Academy were not easy. Madelyn lived a routine life, eating, sleeping, and attending classes.It was a rare exchange program opportunity, so she spent most of her time on her courses.After school in the afternoon, she would talk to Ethan on the phone every day chatting about daily matters.Leonardo took the students to participate in an international painting competition. Other than having dinners together, they rarely met.After Madelyn returned to the hotel, she would stay in her room. Occasionally, she would check the news back home in Ventropolis.A news notification suddenly caught her attention when she was about to put her phone down. It was about the Azure Corporation.She then clicked open the news and saw the eye-catching headlines of "Azure Corporation Merges With a Subsidiary of Arnold Corporation". The content was: [Zach Jardin, the acting CEO of the Azure Corporation, was relieved from his position on the grounds of mismanagement. He is cur
