    What a foolish woman! He didn’t mean any harm—couldn’t she see that? Or did she intentionally make that remark to undermine his family?


    The physician emerged and informed the crowd about Madeline’s condition.


    “The patient arrived just in time, and the bleeding has been controlled. Ensure her emotional well-being and provide a nutritionally bnced diet. She can be discharged after some rest.”


    With that, the doctor departed. The Powells visited her in the ward before leaving.


    Returning to the corridor, Sharon said, “Kathy, since you reside in your brother’s house, you should diligently care for Madeline. After her child is born, I must teach this woman a good lesson!”


    Did Madeline believe she was a mild-mannered mother-inw? In the past, even Norah had to remain in the Carter household withoutint despite the difficulties.

    Sharon cast a sidelong nce at Kathy. “Do you want to have the baby or not? You need to decide before it’s toote.”


    Watching Adrian and Sharon walk away, Kathy touched her abdomen with conflicting emotions. She feared experiencing the same fate as Madeline, yet the baby was also a potential asset. The decision was entirely hers.

    Sean epitomized excellence in Norah’s eyes. Upon their initial encounter, his presence had left her momentarily breathless.


    Her slender finger traced the contours of his temple, gliding downward with deliberatenguor.


    His eyes held depth, his nose possessed a proud, straight prominence, while his lips, a subtle hue of pink, offered a delicate texture reminiscent of jelly. As her finger hovered near his lips, poised to descend, hisrge palm enveloped her hand.


    “Craving mypany so early in the day?” he asked, his tone yful.


    “While I wouldn’t object to indulging in affectionate moments with you, it’s nearly time for you to depart for work,” he remarked with a teasing smile.
