When Leon was done with the factory, he went to the hospital to see Mary. After the operation, Mary was sent to the intensive care unit. The doctor said that she was not in danger for the time being. Leon asked the driver to take care of her, and then he returned home.
It was already midnight when he got home. He habitually came to Coco's room. When he opened the door, he saw Quarmy holding sleeping Coco in his arms. He couldn't help but feel touched.
He could tell that Quarmy was sincere to Monica. If it weren't for Jenny, Monica and Quarmy would have been very happy!
He gently closed the door. Monica heard his light footsteps. "You're back? Let me make a midnight snack for you."
Leon stopped her. "Go to bed. I'll ask the servants to do it. You're pregnant now, so you should have a good rest."
"I know. Don't worry, I'm not that delicate!" The two of them chatted as they went downstairs gently.
Quarmy also woke up. He gently let go of Coco and got up. When he saw Monica preparing a midnight snack for Leon, he really felt uncomfortable. In the past beautiful days, every time he came back late from work, Monica would make food for him.
Quarmy felt a little sad. He turned back to Coco's room in a heavy mood. Looking at his son who was sleeping soundly, the sadness in his heart slowly disappeared. It was really good to have a son.
He couldn't help but lower his head to kiss Coco's face again. "Son, you must stand on my side. Only then will your mother change her mind. I beg you!"
In Jiang City, night fell. Eva and Madrigal sneaked to the hospital separately. The hospital was very quiet at this time. When Eva went to the operating room, she ran into a nurse. "Director Xi, what are you doing here?"
Eva was annoyed. Why was she so unlucky? She chose to have the operation at night in order to prevent people from knowing it. Although she was unhappy, she still had a smile on her face. "I have forgotten something here."
The nurse believed it and politely said goodbye to her. Eva quickly entered the operating room. A few minutes later, Madrigal and Yale came to the operating room. "Did you meet anyone on the way?"
"No." Yale answered.
Eva was relieved and told Madrigal to lie down on the operating table. They had been preparing for this day for a long time. Madrigal started getting shots and pills for ovulation two months ago, so this operation would definitely go well. Eva started by taking Madrigal's eggs. The operation went well, and soon the eggs were placed in the nourishing liquid.
Several hours later, Madrigal's eggs were put into the culture dish together with Quarmy's sperm. Eva told Madrigal that she could transplant it into her body in three to five days. She let Madrigal go home first to wait for the news.
"What did you say? Quarmy went to the United States?" As soon as Roland arrived at the company early in the morning, Beck told him a bad news.
Beck nodded. "Yes, he went there the day before yesterday. He hasn't come back yet."
Roland's face darkened. He knew that Quarmy did this for Monica. Quarmy was really shameless. Monica had already made it clear that she would no longer have anything to do with Quarmy, and she decided to marry Leon, but Quarmy still wanted to pester her. What a hateful man!
Beck knew that Roland was angry. He also guessed the purpose of Quarmy's trip. He was afraid that Roland would go to the United States to stop Quarmy, so he said in a hurry, "The sports meeting will soon be bidding. It's a great thing for us that Quarmy left Jiang City at this time."
Roland glared at Beck. "What's so good about that? Do you think I'll be afraid of him? So what if he stays in Jiang City? Isn't he going to be defeated by me?"
Beck said, "That's right. He lost the city construction project to us last time. Now we have Francisco's help, we will definitely win. However, at this crucial time, we can't let down our guard."
"All right, you go out first." Roland's face was still gloomy, and he couldn't be happy at all. Of course, he knew what Beck meant. However, the happiness of the person he loved was also important. He had to quickly confirm whether Quarmy had made trouble for Monica. After Beck left, Roland called Monica.
Before, he called Mandy and heard that Old Mrs. Gu had agreed to Leon and Monica's marriage. At that time, he had mixed feelings. Although he had already engaged Mandy and it was impossible for him to be with Monica, in his heart, he still loved Monica. When he knew that she was getting married, his heart ached. When he thought that Monica had suffered so many hardships over the years, he still felt happy that there was finally a person who loved and cared about her.
However, Quarmy, a shameless rogue, actually went to the United States. He must want to destroy the marriage between Monica and Leon. Roland thought that he couldn't let Quarmy succeed.
It was 9:00 p.m. in the United States. At this moment, Monica was bathing Coco in the bathroom.
After dinner this day, Monica took Coco to walk in the garden. Quarmy followed them and wanted to play hide-and-seek with Coco. In the past two days, Coco had been with Quarmy, so he was much closer to Quarmy. He agreed immediately and asked Monica to join them.
Seeing that Coco was so interested, Monica couldn't refuse. Coco was having so much fun that his clothes were dirty and his body was sweating. Monica was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she quickly took him back to take a bath.
Her mobile phone was placed on the table in the outside room, and the door of the bathroom was closed. Monica were singing loudly with Coco, so she didn't hear her phone ring. Roland felt strange and called her again. At this time, Quarmy happened to come to see Coco. He knocked on the door but no one answered. When he opened the door, he saw the mobile phone on the table vibrating, and the mother and son were singing happily in the bathroom.
He walked over and picked up the phone. When he saw the caller, he frowned slightly. This Roland had been engaged, but he still wanted to pester Monica. Quarmy was angry when he thought that Monica had been with this playboy for such a long time. Roland had been after Monica and going against him. Now that Monica was in the United States, it was ridiculous that this guy still called her. Quarmy was so angry that he answered the phone without caring about politeness.
On the phone, Roland's voice sounded very urgent. "Hello, Monica? I'm Roland. I heard that Quarmy went to America. Did he trouble you again?"
Quarmy twitched the corner of his mouth and said angrily, "Why do you think I'm here to make trouble for Monica?"
Roland was startled. He did not expect it was Quamry who answered the phone. "Why you? Where's Monica?"
Quarmy glanced at the bathroom door and suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, "She's taking a bath."
"... It's impossible. Let Monica answer the phone." Roland took a deep breath. Quarmy meant that he was with Monica again, but Roland didn't believe it. He knew very well that Monica had decided to break up with Quarmy before she went to the United States. Besides, she was going to marry Leon. But why was her cell phone in Quarmy's hand?
"I said she was taking a bath." Roland's voice was so loud that Quarmy frowned. He slowly walked to the window. This place was a little farther from the bathroom. He didn't want to disturb the mother and son who were singing happily in the bathroom, nor did he want Roland to hear Coco singing. Otherwise, Roland would know that he was lying. Quarmy hated Roland, so he wanted to take the opportunity to piss him off.
"I don't believe your nonsense!" Roland was even angrier. "Quarmy, why are you so shameless? Monica is going to marry Leon, and you still want to make trouble. What on earth would it take for you to let her go?"
Quarmy laughed and said, "Is that so? Monica is my wife and Coco is my son. How can I let my wife marry another man and let my son call another man Dad?"
"You... How do you know Coco is your son?" Roland's heart skipped a beat. He had never thought that Quarmy would know Coco's identity. He had believed that Quarmy went to America for Monica.
"Haha!" Quarmy laughed happily. "Speaking of which, I have to thank your fiancee, Mandy. She is too kind. She couldn't bear to let her brother separate Monica and me, so she told me about Coco's identity. You're really lucky to have such an understanding fiancee. You have to treat her well. Don't be a playboy again. Well, my wife will be out of the shower soon. I have to go. Goodbye!" Quarmy hung up the phone.
Hearing that, Roland was really angry. He did not care about Quarmy's sarcasm. Now he finally understood that Quarmy came to the United States for not only Monica but also Coco. It was all caused by Mandy.
Roland knew very well that the reason Quarmy divorced Monica was that Monica was sterile. Jenny crazily wanted to have a grandson. Now that Quarmy knew Coco was his biological son, he would definitely not allow Monica to marry Leon. He would think of all possible ways to stop it. Even if Monica insisted on marrying Leon, Quarmy would compete with Monica for the right to raise Coco. With the power of Huo Family in Jiang City, Monica was unable to compete with Quarmy. If Coco was really taken away, what would Monica do?
Thinking of Monica's current situation, Roland felt distressed. All this was Mandy's fault. He wanted to fly to the United States and teach her a lesson. Therefore, he called Mandy without hesitation.
Mandy was lying on the sofa and reading a female magazine. When she saw Roland's name on her mobile phone, she was really delighted.
Roland rarely called her. Last time, he called her for Monica, which made her very uncomfortable. In order to show her generosity, she pretended to be very kind and told him the situation of Monica and Coco. She also told him that Leon wanted to marry Monica, in order to let him give up on Monica. At that time, Roland's tone was very cold. She knew that he must be sad. However, time would change everything. She believed that he would soon forget Monica and marry her wholeheartedly.
At this time, Roland should have just gone to work. Did he call her because he had given up on Monica completely? Could it be that he finally wanted to treat his fiancee well?
Mandy couldn't wait to answer the phone. She smiled and said, "Hello, Roland, what's the matter?"
"Mandy, why did you tell Quarmy about Coco's identity? What on earth do you want?"
Roland's roar almost deafened Mandy. She did not expect Roland to call her for Monica again, and he even yelled at her. In the heart of this man whom she loved deeply, there was only Monica. He only cared about Monica.
The joy that filled her heart suddenly disappeared, and her tears quickly flowed out. Mandy only wanted to complain. However, when she thought of Roland's ruthlessness, she stopped. If she really annoyed him and made him refuse to marry her, wouldn't all her previous efforts be wasted?
She took a deep breath, endured the anger in her heart, and deliberately said with grievances, "Roland, why are you so fierce? What do I want? I did this for Monica and Coco. Coco has leukemia, and Monica has been worried about him. The doctor said that only Monica and Quarmy's another child could save Coco. I thought that Monica might not want to beg Quarmy because he used to abandon her, so I decided to help her. I told Quamry that all he had to do was provide his sperm. Not only will it save Coco, it won't affect the relationship between Monica and Leon. Isn't it the best way? Why are you blaming me?" Actually, Mandy knew that Monica was already pregnant.
"Bulls*it, do you think I will believe you? You hate Monica, so you told Quarmy about Coco's identity. You wants him to stop Monica from marrying Leon and take Coco away. Let me tell you, if Monica and Coco get hurt because of this, I will not spare you!" Roland grew up with Mandy and knew her character very well. She had been jealous of Monica, so how could she be so kind to help Monica? Her only purpose was to stop Monica from being happy.
Mandy was trembling with anger. She wanted to explain, but Roland had already hung up the phone. Her face turned pale when she saw the black screen. This time, she deliberately told Quarmy the truth because she wanted to prevent Monica from marrying Leon. She was afraid that Monica would be close to Roland after becoming her sister-in-law. Now she felt that she was right. Based on what Roland said just now, if he and Monica became relatives, they would definitely be closer. Even if Quarmy successfully brought Monica back to Jiang City, it would be hard to prevent Roland from meeting Monica again. Mandy was really angry as she thought of how much Roland loved Monica. No matter what, she wouldn't let Monica stand in the way of her happiness. It seemed that she had to get rid of Monica, otherwise Roland would never fall in love with her.
An evil idea came to her mind. She slowly clenched her fists, gnashed her teeth and said, "Monica, you b*tch. Since you made me suffer, I won't let you go! Just wait and see!"
After hanging up, Roland was still worried about Monica, so he called Leon. He really did not understand why Monica's phone was in Quarmy's hands. Normally, Monica would ignore Quarmy unless she had promised to be with him.
As soon as the phone was connected, Roland asked Leon if Quarmy had gone to the United States for Coco.
Leon's words made Roland feel a little relieved. Leon told him that Old Mrs. Gu allowed Quarmy to stay in the Gu family. Monica did not accept him, nor did she promise to marry him.
Roland breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'm really afraid that Quarmy will hurt Monica and Coco. You must protect them."
Leon had always known how Roland felt about Monica, so he was not surprised at all. He said, "Don't worry! As long as I'm here, Quarmy can't hurt them. However, in order to prevent Quarmy from fighting for the right to raise Coco, I want them to migrate to the United States."
Quarmy said, "Mom, it's a long story. I'll tell you later. Now I only want to ask you, since Coco is my son, will you still oppose my marriage with Monica?"
"This..." Thinking of Monica's bad attitude towards her, Jenny felt uncomfortable. She really didn't want to live with Monica. Besides, Madrigal had had sex with Quarmy. If Madrigal got pregnant, she would have another grandson, and Quarmy would have to marry Madrigal. She preferred Madrigal to be her daughter-in-law. She deliberately said, "Didn't Monica go to the United States and refuse to be with you?"
Quarmy said, "As long as you treat her well in the future, she will marry me."
"Let's talk about this later. You should bring Coco back first! He is a descendant of the Huo Family. Bring him back as soon as possible." There were still some doubts in Jenny's heart. She was very clear about Quarmy's character. He could do anything for Monica. If he really lied to her in order to be with Monica, what should she do? Only by letting Coco and Quarmy have a paternity test could she be completely relieved.
Quarmy was stubborn. "I will definitely take Coco back, but you must promise me that you will treat Monica well. Otherwise, Monica will not allow Coco to call me Dad, nor will she be willing to marry me."
"What? She won't let Coco call you Dad?" Jenny was angry when she heard this." Coco is your son. What right does she have to do so? I'll go to America right now and help you take Coco back!"
"Mom, aren't you making trouble? I can handle it myself. Please don't come here. Otherwise, if you annoy Monica and she brings Coco to other places, I won't be able to find them again. You won't be able to see your grandson again."
"Fine, but you must bring Coco back. The grandson of the Huo Family can only have the surname Huo. Do you hear me?"
"Well, I have to go, that's it." After saying that, Quarmy hung up the phone. If he had known this, he would not have called Jenny. His mother was simply unreasonable. At this time, she still wanted to push Monica and Coco. It seemed that he had to rely on himself to persuade Monica!
However, Jenny couldn't calm herself down. It was really a big news! She suddenly had a grandchild from Monica, whom she had always thought to be infertile. She was at a loss what to do.
After thinking for a while, she became happy. She had a grandson! The Huo Family had a descendant...
However, she had to confirm whether this child was Quarmy's.
"No! I have go check it myself. I can't trust Monica. Quarmy loves her so much that she can easily cheat him. If Monica's cute child is really my grandson, I won't hesitate to bring him back. If not, I won't let my son raise another man's son."
In the United States.
Leon was ready to go to the company. When he thought of the woman in the hospital, he decided to go to the hospital. He had already called the police. The police had not found any evidence at the scene, and the monitoring nearby was broken. The police went to the hospital to ask about the situation and then left.
Leon arrived at the hospital. Mary, who was in the intensive care unit, still didn't wake up. Leon stood outside the door and looked at Mary, who was wearing an oxygen mask.
Who on earth wanted to kill this young woman? Revenge killing? Murder?
If her family knew her current state, how worried they would be? Thinking of her similar face to Monica's, he was a little heavy-hearted. After asking the driver to hire two nurses to take care of Mary, he left the hospital.
"Where are you, Quarmy?" As soon as Jenny got off the plane, she called Quarmy.
"Mom, are you also in America?" Quarmy was surprised.
"I can't stay calm after hearing what you said! Tell me where you are!"
Quarmy smiled bitterly. His mother was still so impatient, but this matter was not as simple as she thought. "Mom, you go to the hotel first, and I'll come to see you right away."
Quarmy rushed to the hotel. Jenny was already impatient. "Why are you alone? Where is my grandson? Why didn't you bring him here?"
"Mom, this matter is not as easy as you think. Monica didn't tell Coco his relationship with us. She is going to marry Leon." He told Jenny the whole story in detail.
Hearing this, Jenny was very angry. "This woman wants my grandson to be Leon's son! How can this be? No, I don't allow it!"
"Mom, can you let me handle this matter by myself?" His relationship with Monica was already bad. He didn't want Jenny to do anything extreme.
"You can't solve this alone. Let me help you." Jenny refused to listen to him. "I have to see my grandson now!"
"Coco is sick. Don't be so impulsive. Coco doesn't know that we are his family. You'll stimulate him." Quarmy frowned.
Seeing that her son was defending Monica, Jenny felt uncomfortable. It seemed that she had to handle this matter herself. First of all, she had to confirm whether Coco was her grandson or not. She came up with an idea.
