"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

"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

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

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

Jackson's lips pursed unhappily. "If he's really moved on, I don't think he'd be talking about the next life with you.""That was just him looking for emotional comfort," Serenity replied. "Who knows if reincarnation is even a thing?""Suppose it is real though," he posed. "In your next life, would you give him a chance to be with you?""Are you getting jealous?" she teased him lightheartedly."Yeah, I am," he confessed solemnly.Serenity was a little taken aback. She reassured him earnestly, "If there really is a next life, then I hope that in that life, it's still you that I meet. I'm not the one meant for Lucas. Someday, he'll find a woman who truly deserves his love and loves him back."Jackson's lashes fluttered as he embraced her, rubbing his cheek tenderly against hers. "In our next lives, I'll make sure to meet you early on and protect you with my life. I won’t let any harm come to you."His soothing voice wrapped around her heart like a warm embrace. Serenity smiled swe
