Every Breath You Take

Chapter 141

After listening to Mandy's suggestion, Leon intended to let Mary take care of Old Mrs. Gu. But before

that, he had to let Old Mrs. Gu have an understanding of Mary's character. If Old Mrs. Gu liked her, she

could stay. If not, he wouldn't let her accompany Old Mrs. Gu.

The next day, Leon got off work earlier than usual. He planned to take Mary to have dinner at Gu

Residence.

With these days together, Leon knew something about Mary. He knew that she was quiet and a little

shy. He was afraid that he would frighten her if he directly invited her to have dinner at Gu Residence,

so he decided to find an excuse to take her to Gu Residence first. At that time, if Old Mrs. Gu liked her,

she would naturally ask her to stay. In this way, this matter seemed less deliberate.

As long as Old Mrs. Gu liked Mary, he would immediately invite Mary to live in Gu Residence and take

care of Old Mrs. Gu. He believed that with Mary's gentle and kind character, she would be very happy

to do this.

In order to make his plan work, he did not drive to the villa in the suburbs. Instead, he took a taxi.

Seeing Leon, Mary was very surprised. Last night, Leon said that he would come here for his watch

after he came back from China. Why did he come here today? She greeted Leon unnaturally and said,

"Leon, wait for a moment. I'll get your watch for you."

Leon was eager to take Mary back to dinner, so he didn't notice her uneasy look. He looked at the

home suit she was wearing and said, "Okay, you can change your clothes by the way. I want you to go

to the shopping mall with me later."

Mary was confused. "Go to the shopping mall?"

Leon said, "Yes, I will go back to China in two days. I want to buy clothes for my fiancee. It's my first

time to buy clothes for her. I'm afraid of buying the wrong clothes, so I need your help. In addition, your

appearance and figure are similar to hers. You can try on clothes for her."

It turned out that Leon didn't come here for his watch. Instead, he wanted her to be his fiancee's model.

Feeling a little upset, Mary agreed in a low voice and turned to go upstairs.

Walking into the bedroom, Mary reached out to take out something from under the pillow. She looked at

it with reluctance and then pressed it against her heart.

It was Leon's watch. After picking it up last night, she wiped it carefully with a clean towel and then put

it under her pillow.

When doing these things, she told herself that she was just worried about losing or breaking Leon's

watch. However, when she woke up this morning, she was frightened with cold sweat. She had a

dream last night. She dreamed of Leon coming to her with a smile. He reached out to gently held her

hand and asked her if she wanted to replace Monica as his girlfriend. She agreed without hesitation.

Then Leon changed his face and pushed her away. He scolded her, saying that she was so shameless

that she wanted to be his woman. She didn't deserve him.

Now she finally understood that she had secretly fallen in love with Leon and was eager to get his love.

However, she immediately realized that she was just daydreaming. Leon was rich and handsome. Even

if he was not engaged, how could she, a poor girl who didn't even know who herself was, have the right

to be with him?

When she saw Leon just now, she felt shy and uneasy for her childish behavior last night. She was

afraid that Leon would know how she felt. However, when Leon let her help him buy clothes for his

fiancee, she felt sad and wronged. The combination of these emotions really made her upset.

When the cold watch was placed on her chest, her heart trembled slightly and she shook her head.

"Jadey, don't be silly. Leon is your lifesaver. He is so kind to you. How can you covet him? You should

bless him and his fiancee."

After taking a few deep breaths, she suppressed the sadness in her heart, changed her clothes as fast

as she could, and walked out of the door with a smile.

Out of the villa, Leon explained to Mary that his car was in the repair shop. He didn't bother to ask his

driver to pick him up, so he came by taxi.

They took a taxi and went to the mall. Leon took Mary to the clothing area. He pointed to the colorful

clothes and said to Mary, "You're a girl. You should have better taste than me. Pick out a few outfits,

and I'll make the final decision." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Although Mary was from an ordinary family, Quarmy had bought many clothes for her, so she had great

taste in clothes. She knew what clothes would suit her best and show off her beauty.

Although she had lost her memory now, her taste was not affected. After looking around, she had

already picked four sets of clothes suitable for her. However, after all, these clothes were for Leon's

fiancee. Even though Leon repeatedly said how similar she was to his fiancee, she was still worried

that the clothes she chose could not satisfy his fiancee.

Thinking of this, she asked Leon, "Do you have photos of your fiancee on your phone? If yes, can you

show me? I want to pick the most suitable clothes for her according to her temperament."

"You're right. I happen to have a photo of her." In fact, when Leon was in a relationship with Monica, he

had accompanied her to buy clothes, so he knew her size and style. He asked Mary to help him

because he wanted to take her back to his house for dinner. Of course, he also wanted to buy clothes

for Monica. Since Mary said so, he would show her Monica's photo.

Taking out his mobile phone, Leon showed a photo of Monica and Coco to Mary. Mary looked at it

carefully. When she saw Monica's face, she had the same reaction she had when she heard Monica's

name. Her heart beat faster for no reason, and a sense of familiarity appeared.

How could this happen? Why did she always have this kind of feeling for Leon's fiancee? Was it

because they looked alike or because she liked Leon?

Seeing Mary's absent- mindedness, Leon also felt strange. He hurriedly asked, "Jadey, what's wrong

with you?"

Mary came to herself and gave a smile. "Oh, nothing. I didn't expect myself to look so much like

Monica."

"I told you."

Mary pointed at Coco and asked, "Who is this little boy?"

Leon smiled and said, "This is Monica's son."

Mary was shocked. She didn't expect Monica to have a child. She really wanted to ask Leon why he

liked a woman with a child. But she knew it was very impolite, so she didn't ask.

Leon naturally wouldn't take the initiative to explain to her. He got his phone back and said, "Can you

start now?"

"Yes." Mary smiled. She cheered herself up and then picked out some new clothes.

She felt that Monica was a mature and unique woman. The clothes she chose before were not suitable

for Monica.

Leon looked at the clothes she chose and smiled with satisfaction. "Jadey, you really have a good

taste. Monica likes this kind of style. Come on, try this one." He chose a dress for Mary.

Mary took the dress and went into the fitting room. When she got dressed and came out, she saw

Leon's full of admiration. Her heart skipped a beat and her face turned red.

"Jadey, you look beautiful in this dress." It was the first time that Leon had seen her in a dress. The

clothes she usually wore were bought by Leon's secretary. They were all casual clothes, and they

couldn't fully show her beauty. Now this light purple dress made her look more charming and mature,

and she looked even more like Monica.

Mary stood in front of the fitting mirror and looked at her beautiful figure in the mirror. When she heard

Leon's praise, she felt sweet. When she was intoxicated, she heard Leon say behind her, "Jadey, try

this dress again."

Mary turned around and saw Leon carrying a yellow knee-high skirt in his hand. It looked younger than

the dress she was wearing and it was suitable for her age.

This dress was not one of the dresses that Mary chose. It should be picked by Leon himself. She took

the dress and said with hesitation, "I don't think this dress is suitable for Monica. The one I am wearing

is better for her."

Leon smiled and said, "You can try it first!"

Mary had no choice but to take the dress into the fitting room. After she came out, Leon praised her

again. Mary also felt that the dress was beautiful. This dress seemed to be made for her and it fully

showed her temperament.

"This dress suits you very well. You don't have to change it. Just wear it." Mary was about to go into the

fitting room again, but Leon stopped her. He said to the shop assistant, "I'll take both of them. Please

wrap up the purple one."

Hearing that, Mary immediately realized that Leon was going to send her the yellow dress. She was too

surprised. She did not expect Leon to send her such an expensive gift. Although she did not see the

price, she knew that it was expensive. This dress might cost thousands dollars.

She tentatively asked, ''Leon, why don't I change it? Aren't you going to give it to Monica?"

Leon smiled and said, "The purple one is for her. This one is for you."

"No, no, I can't take it." Mary hurriedly waved her hand and wanted to go to the fitting room.

Leon hurriedly stood in front of her and said, "Jadey, listen to me. I haven't paid you for taking care of

those roses. This dress is your salary, okay?"

Mary said, "Leon, you saved my life and let me live your villa. You also gave me so much allowance

before. I haven't thanked you yet. Besides, I didn't do anything in the villa except for watering the

flowers. How can I be qualified to get salary?"

"Well, let's not talk about salary. The clothes that my secretary bought for you are casual clothes. You

need something more formal. Just take this dress. You can wear it in case you have to attend parties or

something like that."

His words touched Mary's heart. She didn't expect that Leon was so thoughtful. However, she had

owed him too much, how could she accept his gift?

She said with tears, "Leon, thank you. I really can't let you spend more money. Anyway, I won't have

any chance to attend parties. I don't need this dress. I'd better not take it." After that, she walked into

the fitting room.

Leon didn't expect Mary to be so stubborn. He didn't think about buying clothes for her before. He just

wanted to buy clothes for Monica and Coco, and then use this as an excuse to invite her to have dinner

at Gu Residence. When he saw how beautiful she was in that dress, he couldn't help but want to buy it

for her.

Originally, he liked Mary's gentleness. Seeing that she was not vain or willing to take advantage, he

admired her more. He decided to buy the dress and send it to her in the future.

Mary came out of the fitting room. Seeing that Leon still bought the dress, she couldn't help asking,

"I've said that I don't want it. Why did you buy it?"

Leon smiled and said, "Since you don't like it, I'll send it to my sister."

Mary was simple- minded and believed it immediately. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What

else do you want?"

Leon looked around and said, "I want to buy a set of clothes for my grandmother."

"Leon, you are so filial." Mary knew that Leon had a grandma. She also heard from the servants in the

villa that Leon was very filial to Old Mrs. Gu. It seemed that it was true.

Leon took the opportunity to say, "My parents died early. My grandmother raised me and my sister up

with great efforts. I should be filial to her. Do you have any impression of your elders?" Mary frowned

and thought about it carefully. She said, "I can't remember, but I get a warm feeling when I see elders.

Maybe I have grandparents!"

In fact, Mary's adoptive parents died very early. She did not spend much time with them. The reason

why she got a warm feeling when she saw elders was that she often went to the nursing home in Jiang

City. Although she lost her memory, her nature of caring about elders did not change.

Leon was overjoyed. He originally hoped that Mary would care about elders. If she still had the

experience of taking care of elders, he would be more assured to let her accompany Old Mrs. Gu.

After picking a suit of clothes for Old Mrs. Gu, Leon went to buy boys' clothes. Mary guessed that he

must have bought it for Monica's son. She wanted to ask him, but she didn't want him to think that she

was too gossipy.

Leon bought too many things, so Mary helped him to take some of them. Leon said with so- called

regret, "I should have asked the driver pick me up. I don't know how to take so many things back

home."

Mary thought for a moment and said, "I can help you take it before you get in a taxi. I'll take the subway

back to the villa."

"Why don't you go to my house with me? Otherwise, I won't be able to take so many things after getting

off the car. Taxis aren't allowed in my neighborhood!" It was a lie. Leon just wanted Mary to go to his

house. Gu Residence was a large villa built on private land. It was up to him whether taxis were

allowed in his neighborhood. "Really? Well! I'll send you home first, and then take the subway back to

the villa." Mary believed him. She knew that Leon's house must be in a high-end residential area. The

residents there were rich, so the management of the neighborhood must be very strict. However, she

forgot that Leon could call the driver or other servants to pick him up when he got off the taxi.

"Thank you so much. You don't have to take the subway. I will ask the driver to send you back to the

villa." Leon was moved again. This girl was really frugal. She would rather take the subway than spend

more money on a taxi.

Mary smiled and said, "No need. I can take the subway by myself. You just need to tell me which one to

take."

Leon shook his head. "No. That's too troublesome. You have to walk a long way in that case. What's

more, you've helped me so much today. How can I let you go back by yourself?"

Mary knew that Leon was a gentleman. It was impossible for him to agree to her proposal, so she

agreed.

The two of them walked out of the mall. Leon took a taxi and let the driver drive to Gu Residence.

Ada was pregnant! Ted was really happy. Ada was not young anymore and had been a w*ore for a long

time. It was really a miracle that she got pregnant.

Ted felt that this child was a great support given by God to to keep him and Ada together. With this

child, his mother would definitely not oppose him marrying Ada. Ted's expectations of this child were

extremely high. He searched on the Internet about what a pregnant woman needed to do. After

knowing that walking after meals was beneficial to the mother and the baby, he offered to accompany

Ada to take a walk.

They strolled in the neighborhood like students in love, completely ignoring the strange eyes around

them. Naturally, they didn't see Lassie, who was hiding not far away and staring at them in shock.

Lassie was stunned by her discovery! She heard Ada call Ted darling coquettishly. Then, Ted kissed

Ada's face and flirted with her in public.

Until Ted and Ada walked far away, Lassie still stood there in a daze. Lassie lost her wits and went

back to the Huo family. She was really shocked! She didn't expect that the old woman her son dated

was Amanda.

Why did Amanda change her name? The point was, no matter she was Amanda or Ada, she couldn't

be with Ted!

This was against ethics. It was simply unreasonable!

It was a long story. Ted was the son of Lassie and a gangster in the Cat's Alley. That gangster was

Ada's brother, Jerry.

Jerry was caught in jail. Lassie couldn't afford to live with a child, so she gave her son to the Lee family

and left Jiang City.

After so many years, she had never thought of having any contact with Jerry. However, the world was

so small. Ted's aunt was pregnant with Ted's child. "I can't let my son be with Ada! But how can I tell

this to him? I can't tell him that Ada is his aunt, Amanda. He can't accept it."

However, her son loved Ada so much that he would definitely not break with Ada. What should she do?

Lassie was so anxious. It was impossible to let her son break up with Ada. The most urgent thing was

to get rid of Ada's child. It was said that the marriage of close relatives would lead to monsters. She

didn't know if Ada's child was a monster. Lassie was so afraid that she decided to kill this child as soon

as possible.

Jenny finally got better after being treated in the hospital for a long time. The doctor said that she would

soon regain consciousness. Quarmy was very happy. In order to prevent Eva and others from knowing

this, he ordered the hospital not to leak the news. Therefore, Eva and others didn't know that Jenny

would wake up.

Yale never came back after being taken away. Madrigal called her but her phone was out of service.

Madrigal was so worried that she called Zoe and asked about Yale. Zoe also hated Madrigal, but he

didn't punish her because she was his child. Zoe impatiently asked her to stay in the hospital. He would

let two carers take care of her.

Zoe also said that Yale was busy with something, so she didn't need to worry. Madrigal was not a fool.

For Yale, nothing was more important than herself. Her intuition told her that there was something

wrong, so she began to worry. Did Zoe find out what they did and start to punish her mother? Madrigal

told Eva what she was worried about. Eva was shocked. Why was Yale's phone out of service? There

was something wrong with this matter. She had to figure it out first.

Eva was not alone because Yale had been helping her before. Yale's sudden disappearance made Eva

really worried. She began to inquire about Yale's news, but Zoe kept it a secret. She had no choice but

to hire a private detective.

The investigation had just begun. Suddenly, news came that Yale died in a car accident!

Yale had no immediate relatives except for Zoe and Madrigal, so Yale's death did not alarm anyone.

Yale had an accident in another city. Zoe directly buried her at the place where the accident happened

after knowing this. No one was alarmed when Yale was buried.

This was Zoe's private affair, so others naturally didn't care about it. But Eva was different. She felt that

it was not Zoe's style. There must be something wrong. She had to figure it out.

Quarmy and Monica were also surprised by Yale's death. Monica was very angry. Why had Yale died

before she avenged her mother? Wasn't it too easy for Yale?

Quarmy felt the same way. This b*tch died so easily. He hadn't taught her a lesson.

Summer clapped her hands. It was Yale's karma. Without Yale, Monica's life would be much better.

Madrigal was alone and pregnant now. She could do nothing to Monica.

However, Roland did not think so. His intuition told him that something was wrong. Yale's accident was

too sudden. Quarmy thought that Roland was right. Zoe must have hidden something.

Quarmy let his men secretly keep an eye on Zoe. There was no one around Zoe except for the driver

and Lancy. Quarmy's men had been following Lancy and the driver. At first, they didn't find anything,

but after a period of time, they saw the driver went to a madhouse.

Quarmy's men started to investigate the madhouse. They found that Yale was in there.

Zoe must have known something, otherwise he wouldn't have treated Yale like this. It was said that

Yale was living a life worse than death in the madhouse. Quarmy was really impressed. Zoe deserved

to be an official. He could even think of such an idea.

Quarmy's original purpose was to let Yale live a life worse than death. Now that Zoe had done what he

wanted to do, he decided to let Yale enjoy the rest of her life there. He told Roland not to tell Monica

about it until she gave birth to the baby. Of course, Roland promised.

After thinking for a few days, Lassie finally came up with an idea. If she put abortifacients into Ada's

water, Ada would definitely lose the child.

"But how can I let Ada drink the water?" This matter must be done unnoticed.

Her son had no money and all the daily necessities were prepared by her. After thinking for a while,

Lassie decided to send her son some daily necessities. She could bring a box of water that her son

liked and put the abortifacients in the water. But she was worried that the abortifacients would affect her

son's health, so she called Eva. Eva told her that it wouldn't affect him, so she began to carry out the

plan with confidence.

Lassie bought a lot of abortifacients and injected them into the water she bought. She also bought a lot

of food and some daily necessities. After making sure that Ada was absent, she went to Ted's place.

Of course, Ted didn't know that Lassie was plotting against them. He was very happy to see so many

food. He mentioned Ada to Lassie again. Lassie didn't object them being together. She just let her son

not to tell anyone that she was his mom.

Hearing that, Ted was very happy. His mother's identity was indeed a trouble. This matter could not be

made public now. He decided to tell Ada about this after they got married, so he agreed to Lassie's

request.

In the evening, Ada came back and drank a bottle of water sent by Lassie. The next morning, she

suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen and began to bleed. Ted was also frightened. He

immediately called Lassie for help. Lassie naturally did not dare to send Ada to other hospitals, so she

ordered her son to send Ada to Eva's hospital.

She called Eva again and asked her to hide the reason for Ada's miscarriage. Eva naturally promised

her request.

Ada was soon sent to the hospital for treatment. Medical abortion wasn't for everyone. Ada was not

young, and the accidental medical abortion caused her to bleed profusely. If she had not been sent to

the hospital in time, she would have died.

Hearing this, Lassie sighed. If she had known this earlier, she shouldn't have asked her son to send her

to the hospital earlier. In this way, Ada might have died and she could have been relieved.

Eva hired a private detective to investigate Yale's case. The private detective did not let her down. He

soon told Eva that Yale was in a madhouse.

Eva was very surprised. It never occurred to her that Zoe would do such a thing. Zoe must have known

something. Eva was a little scared. She didn't know whether Yale had exposed her. If Zoe knew that

she had ordered Lassie to drug Monica, Zoe would definitely not let her go.

Zoe was not a good person. He might deal with her one day. She had to find a way to save herself.

Eva was not worried about herself, but her daughter Madrigal. With Zoe's viciousness, he would never

let go of Madrigal. She had to ensure her daughter's safety.

Eva went to the private hospital to visit Madrigal. Madrigal lived very well. Zoe didn't tell her that Yale

was dead. Seeing that Madrigal lived in the best ward of the hospital, Eva was relieved. If Zoe knew

everything, he would not let Madrigal go like this. It seemed that Yale did not betray them.

If that was the case, she had to think of a way to save Yale. Otherwise, Yale might be forced by Zoe to

betray them.

Eva hired a group of gangsters and let them set fire to the madhouse. When the patients were being

transferred, they saved Yale.

Yale's whole body was dirty and smelly. She was skinny and her legs were broken. Originally, she

thought she would spend the rest of her life in the madhouse, but she was actually saved. Yale was

very happy. At this time, the most important thing was to stay away from Zoe. She was already a dead

woman to others. If Zoe knew that she had escaped, she would soon become a corpse.

Yale could no longer hide the fact that Uriah was her lover. She asked Eva to send her to Uriah's place.

Zoe soon knew what happened in the madhouse. Except for Yale, other patients were found. He

immediately knew that someone saved Yale. Zoe faked Yale's death because he didn't want others to

suspect Yale's sudden disappearance. In addition, he wanted Yale to live a worse life than death. He

never thought that someone would rescue Yale.

It seemed that he had underestimated this b*tch. He had to find out her accomplices. However, he had

to do this secretly.

Quarmy knew that Yale was saved when he heard that a patient escaped. Now the only person Yale

could trust was Uriah.

Originally, Quarmy didn't intend to deal with her. Since she had left the madhouse, he had to teach her

a lesson.

Yale felt that she had come from hell to human world. She took a bath first and then had a good meal.

In the end, she told Uriah why Zoe wanted to deal with her.

Uriah's face turned pale. Since Zoe knew that Hannah's death was not an accident, he must be in

danger. No, he couldn't stay here any longer. He had to leave Jiang City.

Yale naturally knew what he meant, but she was worried about Madrigal. Moreover, she had to figure

out who wrote the anonymous letter.

Only she and Uriah knew the truth of Hannah's death. She had never told anyone about it, so Uriah

was the one who leaked the news.

Yale asked Uriah if he had told others about it. Uriah had no other choice but to tell Yale that Amanda

knew the truth.

Yale was so angry that her eyes were burning with fire. She scolded Uriah fiercely. Uriah did not dare to

speak when he saw her like this. After venting her anger, Yale began to think about how to revenge.

She knew that this anonymous letter must have something to do with that b*tch, Amanda. She must be

the one who leaked the news. Yale was now injured all over and her legs were lame. It was all because

of Amanda. Yale was never a kind person. How could she let Amanda go? She had to revenge before

she left.
