Chapter 1614
Chloe had nowhere to hide, and she watched as Yasmine threw a pile of snacks directly into the
trash.
“Chloe, when did you be such a rascal? I never noticed you indulging in junk food before. Now
that you’re pregnant, you suddenly forgot about dietary restrictions? Don’t you know that these
greasy, preserved foods are bad for you? Can’t you take some responsibility for yourself and your
babies?!”
Chloe sat on the couch, obediently listening to Yasmine’s lecture Who said she didn’t have a sweet
tooth before? She and Rose used to devour spicy chicken wings and hot dogs back in school. How
could she let Yasmine know about that? It was just thatter on, she had to maintain her figure and
prevent e, so she had to restrain herself a bit.
“I think I still have some self–control, buttely. I just crave them so much”
Bryson stood to the side, with a cheerful smile on his face, radiating a kind and benevolent
demeanor c2
“Alright, Mrs Yasmine, now that Miss. Chloe’s pregnant with two, it’s normal to crave some snacks. I
remember when you were pregnant, you
weren’t much better
Chloe felt as if she had an ally and nodded repeatedly. “Exactly, I’m carrying two. It’s not that I want
to eat, it’s them who want to eat
Yasmine gave Chloe a sidelong nce, “When did you be so cheeky?Who spoiled you like
this?”
Chloe pouted, “Did 17”
“I can see you’re going to ruin yourself sooner orter. It’s all because of that irresponsible Damon,
he spoiled you rotten, so you can’t live without him. Then he can do whatever he wants, and you
have no way to stop him. I’m telling you, when that dayes, you will surely regret it
“Aren’t you still here with me?” Chloeughed and sat down next to Yasmine. “With you backing me
up, what do I have to worry about?”
Yasmine huffed, and the concealed smile on her face onlysted for a short while “So, were you
scared when you were all alone back then?”
Chloe’s eyes gradually dimmed. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent. Bryson
looked at Chloe with pity in his eyes Back then, she was just a teenager. Abandoned by the
Summers family and left abroad for three years, nobody knew what she went through during those
times
Betrayed time and time again, enduring unimaginable hardships at such a young age, how could
she not be scared?
Chloe didn’t say a word, but in Yasmine’s heart, there was a surge of guilt and helplessness “You
can me me for leaving you alone back then”
Chloe shook her head, “I don’t me you.” Her voice was light as a feather, indeed without a hint of
reproach “As long as you’re alive, that’s all
that matters”
Yasmine s expression shifted, her heart filling with bitter sweetness
Bryson’s eyes also started to well up. “Alright, the past is the past, we’re all fine now, and that’s all
that matters.”
Chloe gave a faint smile. “Mmm. It would be even better if I could have more snacks in the future.”
Yasmine was silent for a moment, then gave her a sidelong nce. “Dream on”
Chloeughed softly, feeling that even with the daily scolding, life was full of happiness.
“I have something to show you,” said Yasmine
“Hmm?”
Bryson stood next to Yasmine, smiling at Chloe. “Its absolutely a big surprise.”

Chloe watched Yasmine intently
Yasmine took a deep breath, her hands slowly gripping the armrests of her wheelchair, her face
gradually bing serious. This action made the slight smile in Chice’s eyes fade away. She
watched Yasmine nervously. Her hands, resting on herp, involuntarily trembled and eventually
clenched into fists
Yasmine closed her eyes, took another deep breath, then began to exert force with her arms.
Chloe’s heart seemed to stop beating at that moment. She held her breath and her eyes were fixed
intensely on Yasmine.
Later, Yasmine carefully moved both her feet from the footrests of the wheelchair to the ground,
then with a tense expression, she exerted effort and slowly began to detach herself from the
wheelchair, one step at a time
The movement was incredibly slow, Chloe could see Yasmine’s arms shaking violently it took about
five or six minutes, which felt like an eternity Sweat trickled down Yasmines pale face her teeth
clenched, her body trembling.
Chloe didn’t dare to move at all until Yasmine finally stood up in front of her. Her legs and her whole
body trembled, as if she might copse at any moment
slightly bent, her posture was somewhat awkward,
Tears welled up in Chloe’s eyes, she let out her breath with a sob She covered her mouth watching
Yasmine hunched over in front of her, tears of joy streaming down her face
“Mom
Yasmine gritted her teeth and managed to stand for a few seconds longer before her legs began to
shake violently. Her body went limp and she
looked as though she was about to fall. Chloe quickly got up and caught her just in time. In the
process, her knee hit theer of the coffee
table.
A dull pain shot through her knee. After safely cing Yasmine back into her wheelchair, she bent
over and held her knee. Her face immediately turned pale
“Miss Chloe!” Bryson was shocked. He quickly went over to her and helped her up. “Are you okay?”
Chloe bit her lip and shook her head, “I’m fine.”
“That’s not okay at all. You hit your knee, and that pain is all over your body. You are pregnant. This
might…”
Bryson spoke anxiously. There were many cases of pregnant women miscarrying due to severe
pain.
Yasmine’splexion hadn’t recovered from the exertion yet, and now it turned even paler. The
possibility of a miscarriage brought back her own painful experience from decades ago. The sudden
loss had almost broken her
“Bryson, call the ambnce “Yasmine’s voice was noticeably shaky and anxious.
This was a situation Bryson had rarely seen in all these years. He immediately replied, pulling out
his phone to dial 911 in haste.
Chloe indeed felt pain all over her body. Being pregnant for the first time, Bryson’s words made her
even more terrified. She held her belly, fearing any negative impact on the babies inside her.
Everything had to be okay. It had to be
Nate’s legs went weak when he saw the ambnce take Chloe away. In the midst of his panic, he
rushed to the hospital with Chloe, ensuring she got the best care possible
When he saw Chloe being taken into the examination room, he was about to call Damon but was
stopped by Chloe. “Don’t tell him yet. Let’s wait until after the examination.”
Nate hesitated.
Chloe had regained herposure by now and simply said. “Let’s wait for the results first. Her tone
was indifferent, but her resolve was undeniable
Nate could only nod in agreement.
She didn’t want to trouble Damon unless she absolutely had to.
