Every Breath You Take

Chapter 125

After leaving Roland's villa, Zoe was ready to go back to the municipal government. However, he

received a phone call from Yale on the way. "Zoe, come back quickly. Something big happened!"

"What happened?" Zoe was impatient.

"Madrigal...Madrigal is pregnant!" Yale stammered.

Zoe suddenly sat up straight and looked at Ted, who was driving. "Go home right away!"

When Zoe returned home, Yale was walking back and forth in the living room. Madrigal covered her

face and sat on the sofa, crying. Seeing Zoe stride in, Yale asked, "What should we do now?"

"Go to the hospital right away!" Zoe gave a brief order.

It meant that he wanted Madrigal to have an abortion. Yale and Madrigal felt really disappointed.

Madrigal continued to cry with her hands covering her face, while Yale looked sad. "I went to the

hospital with Madrigal before."

"So she had an abortion?" Zoe let out a sigh of relief.

"No."

"Why not?" Zoe's face suddenly darkened.

"She's in no condition to have an abortion!" Yale handed Zoe an examination report. "The doctor said

that if she gave up this child, she would never have another child, so..." Zoe did not look the

examination report. He glanced at Yale and Madrigal coldly. He knew clearly how much his daughter

loved Quarmy. Since she was pregnant with Quarmy's child, she must try her best to keep the child.

The so-called examination report might be a lie.

Zoe sneered in his heart. Although Madrigal was also his daughter, he owed Monica more. Monica's

current situation was caused by him. He would never allow Madrigal to affect Monica's happiness.

Zoe tried his best to make his voice sound normal. "Madrigal, don't cry. Dad will take you to have an

examination again."

He seemed to be caring about Madrigal, but Yale knew that was not the case. Zoe obviously did not

believe that there was something wrong with Madrigal's body. She reached out to pull Madrigal up and

said, "Don't cry. Dad knows a lot of people. Let's go with him to have a check-up. Maybe it's a

misdiagnose."

She said the word "misdiagnose" very loudly. Zoe gave a meaningful smile and took the lead in coming

out. Yale helped Madrigal to follow him closely. After getting in the car, Zoe ordered Ted, "Go to City C."

Yale didn't expect Zoe to be so careful. He didn't want to go to the hospitals Jiang City. Instead, he

went to City C, which was hundreds of kilometres away from Jiang City. No matter how scheming Yale

was, she was unable to play tricks in City C. It seemed that Zoe didn't trust her that much anymore.

Yale secretly sweated. Fortunately, the examination report was true, otherwise she and Madrigal were

going down.

How could Zoe, who had been an official for many years, not know what Yale was thinking? He said

lightly, "There are so many people in Jiang City that this matter may get out. No one in City C knows

us."

Zoe was explaining why he chose to go to City C. Of course, Yale wouldn't expose him. She pretended

to be flustered and said, "I didn't think too much. I took Madrigal to the hospital when I found something

was wrong with her in the morning. What should I do? Will this matter get out?"

"I don't think so!" Zoe didn't want to discuss this. He took out his mobile phone and called someone.

The phone was soon connected. A woman's voice sounded, "Mayor Jane, why did you have time to

call me?"

"I want to ask you a favor." Zoe said with a smile.

"You're too polite. Just tell me what can I do for you!"

"Well, I need your help with an abortion."

"Abortion?" The woman was surprised. "Who's pregnant?"

"It's a bit shameful. Since you are my classmate, I won't hide it from you. My daughter is pregnant, but

she can't keep this child. That's why I need your help."

"No problem, I'll wait for you in the hospital." The woman agreed without hesitation.

Several hours later, the car stopped at the gate of a large hospital in City C. Zoe, Yale and Madrigal

entered the hospital together. Zoe took Madrigal to the obstetrics and gynecology department. His old

classmate, Doctor Chen, was the director of the this department. When she saw them, she directly took

Madrigal to the examination room. After that, she said to Zoe with a serious face, "She's had an

abortion before, but the abortion was not successful, which affected her body."

"What's the affection?"

"Well, she was not supposed to be pregnant again. It's a miracle that she gets pregnant again. If she

has an abortion again, she may never have children in her life."

Zoe didn't expect what Yale said to be true. He was stunned for a moment.

"What's more, as I checked, her children were twins."

Zoe didn't care about it. He was worried about Madrigal's body. It was too cruel for him to let Madrigal

have an abortion. However, Madrigal's pregnancy would inevitably affect Monica and Quarmy. What

should he do?

Yale gently pinched Madrigal with her hand. Madrigal looked at her mother blankly. Yale started to cry,

"What should I do? Madrigal, my poor child!"

Madrigal immediately reacted. She knelt down in front of Zoe. "Dad, I beg you! If I have an abortion, I

will never have another child in my life!"

"Madrigal, it's not that I don't want you to keep your child. But... sigh!" If it was another man's child, Zoe

would let Madrigal keep it. But this child belonged to Quarmy. He just tried to persuade Monica to give

Quarmy a chance. Now such a thing happened, how could he face Monica? Yale reached out to wipe

her tears. "Poor Madrigal, this is your fate. Just accept it!"

"Dad, how cruel it is that a woman can't have children. I was set up, it's not my fault. You can't do this to

me!" Madrigal was not acting. If Zoe really wanted her to have to abortion, then her life would be over.

Quarmy would not have anything to do with her and she would not have children. Her future could be

imagined. "Dad, I know that you're afraid that I'll disturb my sister and brother-in-law. I swear that I

won't disturb them. Don't you want me to go abroad? I'll do as you say and never stay here!"

Looking at his daughter, who was kneeling on the ground crying, Zoe felt really upset. He reached out

to help Madrigal up and said, "Get up. Let's talk about it when we get back."

This was a concession. Yale and Madrigal were relieved. Yale reached out to help Madrigal up. The

three of them returned to Jiang City. On the way back, Zoe had been resting with his eyes closed. He

didn't say a word. Yale and Madrigal were also silent, but they felt relieved. As the saying goes, no one

is capable of hurting his own children. Zoe's heart was soft. In the end, they won this game.

Several hours later, they returned to Jiang City. The car stopped outside the villa. Zoe opened the door

and got out of the car. Yale and her daughter followed him closely.

Zoe entered the study and motioned for Yale and her daughter to follow him. He closed the door and

said, "I just thought about it in the car. Since this thing has already happened, we should actively find a

way to deal with it. Now Moni and Quarmy don't know it. For everyone's good, Madrigal, you should go

abroad soon. Your child will be born abroad. Don't come back if not necessary."

"I'll listen to Dad." Madrigal looked very obedient. As long as Zoe agreed to let her keep the child, it

was a victory for her. He asked her not to come back, but was it possible? Not to mention that she

would never go abroad, even if she did go abroad, she would definitely tell Monica about her

pregnancy.

With her around, Monica and Quarmy would never get married.

Madrigal thought so in her heart, but Zoe spoke again, "I haven't finished my words yet. I agree to let

you give birth to this child only because of your body. Don't think that you will have a chance after you

have a baby. Let me tell you, Quarmy will never be yours!"

"Dad, don't worry. I have given up on Quarmy." Madrigal promised.

"That's the best. I have to warn you that you can't tell Moni about your pregnancy. If you dare to do so, I

will never let you go!"

The mother and daughter promised that they would never let it out. At this time, Lancy put the food on

the table and asked them to have dinner. The three of them were all hungry. They ate silently, while

Lancy was standing on the side.

After dinner, Zoe went into the study, and Lancy was busy cleaning up. Madrigal said that she was tired

so she went upstairs to rest. Yale made tea for Zoe, then she went to her daughter's room.

"Mom, what should we do now?" Madrigal asked in a low voice.

"Now the most urgent thing is to let Monica know that you are pregnant."

"I know, but if we tell her about it at this time, Dad will definitely be angry. What should we do?"

"We can let someone else do it." Yale sneered.

"You mean Lancy?"

"Yes, she loves that little b*tch. You can throw up in front of her on purpose, and she will definitely think

of pregnancy. I bet she will tell it to Monica."

Madrigal nodded. "That's a good idea!"

While the mother and daughter were discussing how to let Monica know about this matter, Zoe called

Lancy into the study and told her about Madrigal's pregnancy. "You have to hide this matter. Don't let

Moni know it. Otherwise, she will definitely not forgive Quarmy."

Lancy nodded. "I know."

Yale used to rob Hannah's husband. Now her daughter was pregnant with the child of Monica's man. It

was really hateful. Lancy really wanted to kill Madrigal's child.

But Zoe said that the child had to be kept because there was something wrong with Madrigal's body. If

Madrigal lost the child, she would never have another child. Lancy thought viciously, "I really hope she

to lose the child. She deserves it."

There was no light on in the room. Quarmy stood by the window and quietly looked outside. Downstairs

came the sharp voice of his mother. It should be that Lassie had made her angry again. His mother's

temper had always been so bad that ordinary people couldn't stand her at all.

Quarmy remembered that they used to change cares all the time until Lassie came to their house.

Lassie had a good temper and could stand his mother. He also felt sorry for Lassie so he gave Lassie

an extremely high salary. That was also why Lassie did not leave.

The scolding downstairs was getting louder and louder. Quarmy frowned. What was his mother going

to do? It seemed that recently, Jenny's dissatisfaction with Lassie had increased a lot. Quarmy wanted

to ignore it at first, but he finally couldn't stand it anymore. He opened the door and walked out.

Looking down from the second floor, he saw Jenny sitting in the wheelchair and scolding Lassie angrily.

Lassie, with her back to his mother, lowered her head, holding a towel and half kneeling on the ground

to clean the floor silently. Quarmy stood upstairs and was ready to persuade his mother, but he

swallowed back his words when he saw the anger and hatred on Lassie's face.

He didn't expect that Lassie, who usually endured humiliation without saying a word, would show that

kind of expression. He coughed gently. Hearing that, the anger on Lassie's face suddenly disappeared.

She became gentle and modest as usual. Quarmy even suspected that there was something wrong

with his eyes just now.

He suddenly thought of something and walked downstairs. "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I asked her to make bird's nest in crystal sugar but she put in too much sugar. Does she did it on

purpose?" Jenny said angrily.

"It's not a big deal." Quarmy frowned.

"What? She has been in our house for more than nine years but she still doesn't know what I like. It

proves that she is not doing her job. Shouldn't I scold her?"

The word "nine" made Quarmy frown more tightly. He and Monica got married nine years ago and

Lassie became his mother's carer after that. Seeing that Jenny was about to continue scolding Lassie,

Quarmy signaled Lassie to leave here. Then he pushed Jenny to another room.

Quarmy closed the door and said with blame, "Mom, no one is perfect. You don't have to be so strict. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Think about what Lassie has done for you. Not everyone is willing to work so hard."

"Didn't I give her any money? Think about it yourself. Which carer can get such a high salary? She has

been in our house for nine years, and she has also earned at least a few million dollars."

"So we have to treat her well. Since she has saved so much money, she doesn't have to work so hard

at all. She can use the money to start a small business and enjoy her rest life." Quarmy continued to

persuade Jenny. "She still chooses to be your carer, which means that she loves us. Mom, we are

human beings. We should even treat a dog well, let alone a person. You can't treat her like this."

"Do you think she really wants to stay with us?" Jenny snorted. "Let me tell you, she stays here not

because of love, but because of money."

"We can't let her work for nothing. It's natural for her to earn money."

"I didn't mean to expose her scandal. Since you wants to defend her, I'll tell you the truth." Jenny was

also angry. "Lassie is not a good person at all. She actually keeps a young man. Do you know who he

is? He is Zoe's driver, who is several decades younger than her. What a shame. Why does she have to

keep a man who is as old as her son..."

"She is only a carer, not a slave. We shouldn't care about her privacy." Quarmy interrupted Jenny. That

day, he saw Zoe's driver and Lassie in the pharmacy, so he asked Noah to investigate them. But there

was no result yet. Unexpectedly, he got the news from his mother that they were lovers.

"I'd rather have an ethical carer. Why should I let such a woman be in my house?" Jenny asked.

Quarmy sneered. "Mom, since you hate immoral people so much, why do you want me to marry a

mistress' daughter?"

Jenny was speechless by his question. Quarmy continued to ask, "Aren't you the one who hates

immoral people the most? But your best friend, Eva, is a real mistress. Why don't you hate her?"

Jenny became angry from embarrassment. "I have a good relationship with Eva because I know how to

repay kindness. In the past, Eva treated me well, so I naturally should treat her well. As for Madrigal,

she is a kind person and has never done anything against morality. Although her mother is a mistress,

it's not her fault." No wonder others would say that both love and hatred were groundless. It was within

Quarmy's expectation that Jenny would defend Madrigal. He didn't intend to change his mother's

opinion of Madrigal in a short time. At this moment, he didn't want to expose his purpose too early.

Madrigal was so good at acting that even he himself was deceived, not to mention his mother. He

would slowly tear off Madrigal's disguise and let his mother know the truth.

After persuading his mother to go to sleep, Quarmy went back to his own room. After taking a shower,

Noah called him. "Mr. Huo, today Zoe took Yale and Madrigal to a hospital in City C."

"Why did he do that?"

"I asked someone to follow them. Zoe came to his old classmate, Doctor Chen. They talked in private

so I'm not sure what they were doing. However, Doctor Chen is a famous obstetrician and gynecologist

in City C."

"What?" Quarmy was confused. "Why did they come to an obstetrician and gynecologist at this time?

Does Zoe know what Madrigal and Eva did to me? No, I have to talk to Zoe and tell him that I will not

have anything to do with Madrigal at all." He thought.

While he was thinking, Noah said, "I asked someone to investigate Lassie and Ted. I found that the

relationship between them was very abnormal. They seemed to be lovers."

Quarmy said, "I've just heard about it. Let's put this matter aside for now. You just keep an eye on

Madrigal." The next morning, Madrigal deliberately threw up in front of Lancy. She wanted to let Lancy

know that she was pregnant, but Lancy directly ignored her. Madrigal covered her mouth and went into

the bathroom again while having dinner.

After going back and forth for three times, Lancy finally said, "Miss, you don't have act at home. But

you have to behave yourself outside. It's not a good thing to let others know your pregnancy."

So Lancy knew that Madrigal was pregnant? Yale and Madrigal were speechless. Lancy said, "Mayor

Jane said that you'd better not go out during this period of time in case something bad happens. When

he finishes the formalities for your study abroad, I will accompany you to go abroad."

Madrigal hated Lancy very much. It seemed that Lancy would not tell Monica about her pregnancy at

all. What should she do? Let Eva tell Monica about it? No, her father was very suspicious of them now.

He said very clearly that if Monica knew this, he would not show mercy.

Since things had become like this, with Zoe's ruthlessness, he would definitely kill her child without

hesitation if she angered him. Was she really going to have a baby abroad like what Lancy said? Was

she going to come back only after the child was born, just like what her mother did?

Her mother's situation was completely different from what she was now. Zoe was an official. He was

afraid that this kind of thing would affect his career, so he chose to marry Yale. But Quarmy was

different. He was not an official and he would not care about scandals. Therefore, it was impossible for

her to threaten him with it. The only way was to make Monica completely give up on Quarmy.

At the thought of this, Madrigal felt angry again. If Mandy hadn't told Quarmy about Coco's identity,

Monica and Quarmy wouldn't have been together.

Thinking of Mandy, she thought of the business card Mandy gave her. Why didn't she use Mandy to

deal with Monica?

Madrigal called Mandy and said that she was pregnant. Mandy was very happy when she heard that.

She just couldn't think of a way to deal with Monica. Now this news could be used to annoy Monica.

Quarmy went to see Zoe. Zoe was a mayor and Monica's father, so Quarmy wouldn't embarrass him.

He didn't directly say that Madrigal and Jenny had done something shameless. He put the whole thing

in very polite terms.

"I want to make it clear that I don't have any interest in Madrigal. I agreed to the engagement before

because she couldn't have children. Now, Coco is sick. I only want to accompany Monica and Coco

now. I don't want anyone to disturb us. Please help me keep an eye on Miss Jane. I don't want her to

appear in my house again and have anything to do with my mother."

Zoe's face was a little hot. Of course, he knew that Quarmy didn't want to embarrass him so he didn't

mention that Madrigal had had sex with him. Zoe didn't believe that Madrigal was set up by Mary. He

felt that Madrigal was unreasonable, so he wanted to let her go abroad. After hearing what Quarmy

said, Zoe knew that Quarmy had hated Madrigal to the extreme. Madrigal was really pathetic. Zoe

hated Madrigal for being disappointing and Yale for not teaching her daughter well. He said, "I will deal

with this matter. I will immediately send her abroad. She will never disturb you again in the future."

Quarmy had no objection to this. Only Madrigal herself knew what had happened that night. Thinking of

what Noah said, Quarmy couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you went to the hospital in City C

yesterday. Are you sick?"

Zoe originally wanted to hide the fact that Madrigal was pregnant, but hearing that, he smiled bitterly

and said, "Madrigal is pregnant."

"What?" Quarmy jumped up and sat down again when he realized that he had lost his composure.

"How are you going to deal with this matter?"

"I was going to let her have an abortion, but the doctor said that if she lost this child, she might not be

pregnant for the rest of her life."

"What do you mean? Are you going to let her give birth to the child?"

"I'm sorry! I don't want that happen, either. But if I don't let her give birth to the child, she will never

have a child in her life. I can't bear to see that."

"No! This child can't be born!" Quarmy refused flatly. "I've never intended to let other women have my

children. I will stop her giving birth to this child!"

"But Madrigal is too poor." Zoe prayed, "Quarmy, please let her go. I will send her abroad and never let

her come back." "She is a human being, not a cat or dog. So what if you let her go abroad?" Quarmy

sneered. "What if she comes back with that child?"

"But the doctor said that Madrigal became like this because of the miscarriage before..."

Quarmy rudely interrupted Zoe. "That's your fault. It has nothing to do with me. I have given her so

much money as compensation over the years. If she is not a shameless person, she should stop

pestering me. Let me tell you, she got pregnant through unfair means. Her purpose is to marry me! I

will never sympathize with such a shameless woman! Mayor Jane, I won't want this child. Madrigal's

sterility has nothing to do with me. If you don't let her have an abortion, I will do anything I can to kill

that child!"

Seeing that, Zoe became helpless. He knew Quarmy's worry, but no matter what, Madrigal was still his

daughter. No matter how cruel he was, he would not let his daughter have no support in the next life.

Quarmy was too heartless.

The meeting did not go well. Zoe was angry, so was Quarmy. He felt really upset when he thought that

Madrigal was pregnant with his child.

Before that, he still hoped to start over with Monica. However, at this moment, he clearly realized that it

was impossible for him to be with Monica again.

He was depressed. Madrigal wanted to give birth to the child? Keep dreaming. No matter what, he

would get rid of the child.

At the same time, Mandy came to Monica. "Monica, you're really pitiful. You're trying your best to save

Quarmy's son, but he and your sister are cheating "Miss Gu, you're wrong. I want to save my son, but

it's not for Quarmy. I'm just doing what I should do. I have already divorced Quarmy. It's natural for him

to be with another woman. It's not called cheating."

"You are really generous, but I think your generosity is not sincere. I don't believe that you are not sad

at all." Mandy sneered. "Let me tell you, your sister is pregnant."

Monica was stunned. Didn't Quarmy say that Madrigal was sterile? Why was she pregnant? Seeing

Monica's shock, Mandy smiled even more evilly. "I heard that she's pregnant with twins. If she gives

birth to two sons for Quarmy, your child will be worthless. As Coco's mother, shouldn't you think of a

way to help him?"

"Miss Gu, you don't need to worry about this. My child is priceless in my heart. He doesn't need my

help. He will be healthy and independent. I believe that he has the ability to create his own happiness."

"Keep acting. I don't believe that you really not care about money. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been

with my brother and Roland. You would have married a poor guy."

"That's what you think. I don't need others to understand me. I'm not a fool. Don't you just want me to

be sad? Are you satisfied now?" Monica looked at Mandy with a sneer.

Mandy's face suddenly turned red. "Monica, I'm just telling you this out of pity. Don't get me wrong!"

"I'm so sorry. I don't appreciate your pity!" Monica sneered. "Miss Gu, I'm busy. You may leave now!"

Mandy left angrily with a red face. She met Quarmy at the door. Quarmy felt unhappy when he saw

Mandy. "Miss Gu, why do you come here so frequently?"

"This is my fiance's villa. Mind your own business." Mandy was full of anger.

"I don't care about your fiance's villa. But I want to warn you that my wife and children are in this villa.

Don't hurt them, or I won't let you go!"

"Your wife? She's just your ex-wife. Do you think I'll be afraid of you?" Mandy asked.

"I know you are not afraid of me. Do you dare to bet with me? Believe it or not, someone will have you

stripped and thrown on the street tonight. Tomorrow you'll make the headlines."

Mandy looked at Quarmy's gloomy face and did not dare to retort. Jiang City was Quarmy's territory.

The consequences of provoking him would be unimaginable.

Seeing Quarmy, Monica suppressed the disgust in her heart and tried to talk to him as calmly as

possible. "Coco just fell asleep. If you want to see him, you can go in and leave before he wakes up. If

he sees you, he will be unhappy."

Quarmy shook his head. "Moni, I'm not here for Coco. I want to talk to you."

Monica nodded. She let Quarmy sit on the sofa and give him a glass of water. Quarmy lowered his

head and did not dare to look at her. After talking to Zoe, he was angry and desperate. He felt angry

because Madrigal was too shameless. He felt desperate because he knew it was impossible for him to

be with Monica. In the past, he had been waiting for her because he hadn't cheated on her. He thought

that he had a reason to let Monica forgive him. But now, everything was different.

Quarmy came here after thinking for a long time. He wanted to tell everything to Monica. "Moni,

Madrigal is pregnant." Quarmy told Monica what had happened without hiding anything. He didn't know

what he would face. He didn't expect Monica to forgive him. He only hoped that Monica wouldn't stop

him from visiting Coco.

"Are you saying that she and Mary set you up, then she got pregnant?"

Monica looked at Quarmy in surprise. She never thought that Quarmy would talk to her about this

matter. She had thought that Quarmy would try his best to hide this matter.

Quarmy nodded. "I can't completely remember what happened that night, so only Madrigal knows how

she got pregnant. I guess she must have used some tricks on me when I was in a coma."

Monica felt uncomfortable at the thought that Madrigal did such a shameless thing to Quarmy.

"Quarmy has nothing to do with you. It's natural for him to be with another woman." She shook her

head and tried to reduce the discomfort in her heart. "Tricks? She must have had sex with you when

you were in a coma..."

After saying this, she suddenly paused. Madrigal and Yale had talked about the examination in the

hospital the next morning. At that time, Madrigal was on her period. How could she have sex with

Quarmy? Even if she did have sex with Quarmy, the possibility of pregnancy during the menstruation

should not be high, right?

Seeing that Quarmy didn't dare to look up at her, Monica felt pity for him. "Quarmy, I want to tell you

one thing. Madrigal was on her period that night, so I don't think she has had sex with you."

"How did you know?" Quarmy couldn't believe it.

"I happened to hear the conversation between her and Yale in the hospital. She seemed to be having

some kind of examination, and she said she was on her period." Monica explained.

"She was having an examination for artificial insemination." Quarmy was stunned after saying that.

Madrigal should not have done that kind of thing with him since she was on her period. Could it be that

Madrigal's child was artificially

inseminated? Did she just get his sperm that night? He had to investigate it.

"What are you going to do now?" Seeing that Quarmy didn't speak, Monica asked. They

were already divorced. Why did he tell her about it?

"I want her to kill the child!" Quarmy answered.

"Quarmy, don't be impulsive. That's your child, and your mother likes Madrigal so much. Since she's

pregnant, you should marry her. I can rest assured." Monica said sincerely.

This matter was a blessing in disguise. Although Monica didn't want Madrigal to carry Quarmy's child, it

had already happened. On the contrary, if Quarmy had his own child, he and his mother wouldn't take

Coco away from her. Therefore, it was relatively a good thing.

Quarmy suddenly became excited. "Moni, except you, I won't let any woman have my child. I don't

want Madrigal's child."

"Quarmy, it's your business. You don't need to tell me." Monica sighed. "I just want to take good care of

my child now. Nothing else is important."

"I know. I told you this because I didn't want you to be upset. Since Madrigal has done such a

shameless thing, she will definitely come to bother you. I am afraid that she will upset you." Quarmy

sighed deeply. "Moni, I used to dream of being with you again, but after experiencing such a thing, I

know that it is impossible. I just beg you not to stop me from visiting Coco because of this matter."

"You don't have to worry about that. As long as Coco is willing to accept you, I will never stop you!"
