Every Breath You Take

Chapter 117

Early the next morning, an uninvited guest, Jenny, came to Gu Residence. She came here alone

without telling Quarmy.

"I wonder what Madam Huo has come all this way for." Old Mrs. Gu asked the servant to serve tea.

There was a smile on her face, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

Old Mrs. Gu naturally knew Jenny's character. She was irritable, snobbish and difficult to get along

with. Since she was here, she must have known what had happened.

"I'm here to visit my grandson. Old Mrs. Gu, can you let my grandson out for a moment??" Jenny spoke

very directly.

"Are you mistaken?"

"No. Monica's child is my grandson. Don't you know it?" Jenny sneered. "You're so smart, I don't think

they can hide such a secret from you, right?"

Old Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I'm too old to meddle in those kids' affairs."

"What? So you're just going to stand by and watch the young master of the Gu family hanging out with

a divorced woman?" Jenny showed a look of disdain. "Monica is the woman that Quarmy doesn't want.

Don't you feel sick?"

"I don't think so. I think Moni is good!" Old Mrs. Gu chuckled. "Of course, it's normal that you don't like

her. After all, what happened before is a shame..."

Jenny was speechless, and she instantly felt ashamed. She knew that what happened before was no

longer a secret.

"Old Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu is so young and handsome. Why does he have to be with a single mother? Is it

because that he is infertile?" In order to save her face, Jenny went so far as to speak out of turn.

Old Mrs. Gu was well-educated so that she wasn't annoyed, but her expression became gloomier.

Mandy, who was beside her, wasn't happy. "I've heard about you for a long time. Today, you really

impressed me! But this is the Gu family in America, not the Huo family in Jiang City. My grandma and I

are not Monica. You should know your place, right?"

Jenny felt unhappy to be scolded by a junior like this. She smiled coldly and said, "We elders are

talking, how dare you interrupt? Your family education is really an eye-opener to me!"

"I wonder when do you know so much about family education!" Monica and Leon appeared with Coco

in their arms.

As soon as they entered Gu Residence, they heard the conversation just now. Monica was really

annoyed by Jenny's arrogance. Jenny used to bully her, but now she actually made a scene at the Gu

family without scruples. How could she be so arrogant?

Jenny heard Monica's voice and turned to sneer. "I thought who it was..."

Then she saw Coco sleeping in Leon's arms. Her eyes instantly became frenzied. Before, she did not

think that Coco had anything to do with Quarmy. After hearing what Quarmy said, the more she looked

at Coco, the more she felt that Coco looked like young Quarmy.

She couldn't help but walk over to touch Coco's head. Leon dodged and looked at her with alert. "What

do you want to do?"

"This is my grandson?" Jenny was unhappy that she did not touch Coco's head. But her joy was not

affected at all.

"Madam Huo, you made a mistake. This is my son, not your grandson!" Monica came forward with

annoyance. She might still be patient with Quarmy, but Jenny... She didn't want to see Jenny again in

her life.

"You..." Jenny's face changed. "Monica, is that how you talk to your ex-mother-in-law?"

"You also know that you are just my ex-mother-inlaw?" Monica sneered. "You'd better behave yourself.

This is not the Huo Family. You are not allowed to do whatever you want!"

"Madam Huo, you are our guest, please sit down and talk!" Old Mrs. Gu gently mediated a dispute. As

she spoke, Coco also woke up. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Are we home? Why don't you wake me

up, Mom?"

"You slept so soundly that she didn't bear to wake you up." Leon answered.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at Coco lovingly and said, "Come here."

Coco went to Old Mrs. Gu's side obediently. Old Mrs. Gu held him on her lap and asked, "Did you get

your shot today?"

"Yes, I didn't cry!" Coco answered proudly.

"Good boy!" Old Mrs. Gu kissed Coco's face. Jenny had been staring at Coco all the time. Seeing how

Old Mrs. Gu loved Coco, she was very angry. This was her grandson. However, the Gu family wanted

to rob her cute and lovely grandson! She would never agree.

"Monica, I'm here for the child."

Monica raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered. "The child? What child? You don't have old

dementia, do you?"

"Stop acting. I know Coco is my grandson!" Jenny said rudely.

"Your grandson? Do you deserve it?" Monica sneered. "Madam Huo, this is my son born after my

divorce. He has nothing to do with you. It's actually very simple for you to have a grandson. You have

so many means. You can find a woman or a surrogate for your son. What do you have to worry about?

This is my son, not your grandson!"

Jenny blushed and said after a long while, "Monica, a paternity test will tell me if he is my grandson.

You can't deny it!"

Monica couldn't help sneering again. How could Jenny be so arrogant?

"A paternity test? You're not qualified to do that. Coco's my son." Monica was no longer weak. She had

to protect the people she loved.

"I'm not qualified, but my son is. Let me tell you, Monica, as long as Coco is my grandson, I'm qualified

to take him away!"

"Keep dreaming!" Monica did not give in at all. "If you take my son, I will kill you!"

Jenny was stunned. She did not expect Monica to be so resolute.

The quarrel between the two fell into a deadlock. Coco stared at his mother with innocent eyes and

then looked at Jenny. He said in a childish voice, "Don't quarrel with my mother, bad woman!"

"You are my grandson. Come to Grandma's side, good boy!" Jenny's heart softened when she saw

Coco's flickering big eyes, and her voice softened a lot.

Coco frowned slightly and shook his head. "You're not my grandmother. You're the bad person who

quarreled with my mother!"

Jenny was stunned. She stood up and looked at Monica with hatred. It was all Monica's fault. Monica

secretly gave birth to a child and encouraged the child to hate her and Quarmy. Monica was too bad.

Hearing what Coco said, Monica felt sad. She had always wanted to give Coco a peaceful life, but

things went contrary to her wishes. She did not want her son to see Jenny's ugly look, so she got up

and went to pick up Coco. "Good boy, let Mom take you upstairs to play!"

"What are you doing? I haven't finished my words yet!" Seeing Monica carrying Coco upstairs, Jenny

was anxious!

"Madam Huo, please behave yourself. If you don't want to humiliate yourself, please leave. Let me tell

you, this is my child. He has nothing to do with you. Get out of here!"

How could Jenny listen to her? She finally knew that she had a grandson and her grandson was so

cute. She really wanted to hold him in her arms and kiss him hard. She stood up to stop Monica,

reaching out to rob Coco.

"What are you doing?" Monica reached out to push her.

Jenny was not willing to let go. "Give my grandson to me!"

"Wah..." Coco cried out of fear as he had never seen such a scene before.

Leon immediately came over and said, "Madam Huo, let go of Coco. You will scare him!"

However, Jenny still refused to let go, Monica wouldn't let go either. Old Mrs. Gu was anxious, so she

hurriedly persuaded Jenny. "You'd better let go of Coco. He is sick. Don't push him!"

"I won't let him go. This is my grandson. I want to take him away!" Jenny was unreasonable.

"What are you doing?!" Quarmy suddenly appeared. He couldn't find his mother anywhere. He

guessed that she must have come here, so he came here in a hurry. When he entered, he saw this

scene.

"Son, come and help me. Take Coco away immediately!"

As soon as Jenny saw her son, she seemed to see her savior and completely forgot that she was a

noble woman.

"The child is in poor health. Mr. Huo, please take your mother away." Old Mrs. Gu was most worried

about Coco's health.

Coco's condition had just stabilized. If Jenny continued to scare and pull him, something bad would

happen.

Coco clutched Monica tightly in fear. Jenny ignored Old Mrs. Gu's persuasion. She just wanted to take

her grandson away.

Mandy was the only one of these people who stood by and watched the show.

"Mom, I said I'd solve this problem myself."

"No, you can't solve it. Anyway, I will take my grandson away!" Jenny didn't want to compromise.

As she spoke, the strength in her hands increased. Coco's crying grew louder. Monica's heart ached

and her tears continued to flow down. She was a mother. How could she bear to see her son suffer?

But she was not willing to let Jenny touch her son. In the end, she loosened her hand. Jenny held Coco

tightly with joy.

But Coco didn't want her. He struggled desperately in her arms, cried, and hit her face. Jenny's face

was so painful that she loosened her hand. Coco fell to the ground, screaming. Leon picked up Coco

and comforted him with distress. Cuarmy also stepped forward quickly. Seeing Coco's pale and painful

face, hatred came out from the bottom of Monica's heart. She ferociously slapped Cuarmy's face.

"Cuarmy Huo, are you satisfied with this?"

Seeing that, Jenny felt distressed. Monica was so vicious that she slapped Cuarmy in the face in

public. "You vicious woman, you stopped me to see my grandson, and you still beat my son! Let me

teach you a lesson!"

Monica's eyes were blood red as she approached Jenny. "If you make trouble here again, I'll kill you!"

The coldness in Monica's eyes made Jenny shiver. For some unknown reason, fear suddenly rose in

Jenny's heart. Monica had never been so horrible. Jenny had a feeling that Monica would really kill her.

She was so scared that she retreated.

Coco was crying all the time. Leon and Monica anxiously sent Coco to the hospital. The doctor

checked Coco and said that he was frightened and asked him to stay in the hospital for a while. There

was only the sound of the instrument in the ward. Monica looked at Coco's pale face and began to cry

again.

"Coco... It's my fault..."

Leon reached out to hold her in his arms and gently patted her. "Don't worry, he will be fine!"

"Leon..." She said with tears in her eyes. If it weren't her, Leon would not have encountered such

terrible things. "I'm sorry!"

"Idiot, I am willing to do all this. As long as you can be happy, I will be very happy!"

Quarmy pushed the door open and looked at the two people in the ward hugging each other. His heart

ached so much that he could no longer look at them. He turned around and left. Standing on the empty

corridor, his heart sank...

Monica walked out of the ward and saw the tall and lonely man in the corridor at a glance. Quarmy was

like a sculpture, standing there motionlessly. Looking at the red marks on his handsome side face and

his furrowed brows, she felt a trace of sadness in her heart. However, as soon as she thought of Coco

in the ward, the sadness disappeared in an instant. She walked to him with no expression on her face.

"I'm sorry! I didn't expect it to be like this...1' Quarmy apologized. This time, he really didn't know what

to say.

The problem between them seemed to always be his mother. He naively thought that he could solve

everything, but he was wrong.

"If you really feel sorry, please take practical actions! As long as you and your mother stay away from

us, my son and I will be safe and sound!" Monica said coldly. She didn't have much hatred for Quarmy,

but she really couldn't forgive Jenny.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have told her Coco's identity. I thought it would help..."

"Help? What help? Don't you know what kind of person your mother is, Quarmy?" Monica shouted.

"She was too excited. She wanted a grandson so much that she couldn't control herself. She didn't

really want to hurt Coco..."

"Since she wants a grandson, can't you have a baby with another woman? She has so many means,

how can such a little thing be difficult for her? What is the point of pestering my son? She is also a

mother, how can she be so vicious?! My son is still sick, do you have any idea what she has done to

my son?" Monica said mercilessly.

"She... She doesn't know Coco's illness... If she knew that, she wouldn't have done this!"

"I don't want to hear that. If you really want to do good for Coco, please leave immediately and don't

show up again!"

"Moni, how can you let me leave at this time? How can I leave?" He was also Coco's father. How could

he abandon his sick son?

"What can you do if you stay?" Monica questioned. "Look at your mother. Do you think your stay will be

of any help? Do you still want to see her rob my son again?"

"I..." Quarmy was speechless. It was indeed useless for his mother to stay. The most urgent thing now

was to persuade his mother to go back. "Moni, I will persuade her to go back."

"That's your business, Mr. Huo. I also want to say that we have nothing to do with each other. Please

don't disturb me, I beg you!" Monica looked at Quarmy. "Don't you know what kind of person your

mother is? I don't think she regrets what she did to me. Her purpose is only my son. Can't you see it?"

Quarmy naturally knew that his mother came here for Coco, and he also knew the contradiction

between his mother and Monica. "Moni, I promise it won't happen again! Believe me!"

"No, I won't believe you. Quarmy, I know what you're thinking about. But it's impossible for us to be

together. Your mother came for my son. I know her very well. She doesn't like me, she just wants my

son. She must want to use a sum of money to let me give up Coco. I'm telling you, Coco is mine. He

has nothing to do with you. Stop dreaming!" Quarmy was speechless again. His mother was indeed

such a person. At this moment, he could not find any words to refute.

"Quarmy, we're over. If you still have a little affection for me, if you really care about Coco, please let

me go. Leon and I will get married soon. I beg you not to disturb us! Please!" Quarmy's eyes dimmed.

"Monica, are you so eager to marry Leon? Don't you want me at all?" He thought.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Monica went straight through him to the other side.

"You really can't give me a chance?" The moment she passed by, Quarmy's begging voice sounded.

Monica's tears fell down. She turned her head away to prevent him from seeing it. "So what if I give you Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

a chance? Your mother hates me so much. Even if we get married, we are destined to be unhappy.

Quarmy, love is not everything. I'm already tired. I've suffered so much during the past five years. How

many more times do you want me to suffer?"

Her voice was full of unspeakable sadness and desolation. Quarmy's heart sank. He stood still like a

sculpture. He remained motionless until she disappeared.

It was evening in Jiang City. Eva, Madrigal, and Yale came to the hospital again. Eva was an expert in

this field, so she looked skilled. The fetus was soon put into Madrigal's womb. When the operation was

over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Eva ordered Madrigal to lie in the hospital for a few hours and

asked her not do strenuous exercise, in case of leading to the failure of the operation. After that, Eva

left the hospital in advance. Madrigal and Yale stayed in the hospital until dawn.

Not long after Eva left the hospital, a man in a military coat entered the hospital. He walked around the

hospital for a few times and then entered the parking lot. At this time, the security guards would be a bit

careless. The man looked around and found an Audi in the parking lot. He gently walked to the Audi

and looked inside.

As soon as he saw a woman's bag in the back seat, he was overjoyed. He took out a knife to cut the

car window. Soon, he took out the bag and took all the money inside. Then, he disappeared in the

night.

In the United States. Seeing that Coco was sent to the hospital, Jenny faintly felt that something bad

had happened. Old Mrs. Gu had always treated Jenny politely, but after Coco was sent to the hospital,

her face changed. She ordered the servants to drive Jenny out, and she went into the study with a

gloomy face.

Jenny was from upper class. Being driven out was a disgraceful thing to her, but she could not beg to

stay. After leaving the Gu family, she angrily went back to the hotel and made countless phone calls to

her son, which were all declined.

Jenny was extremely angry. At this time, she really wanted to find someone to vent her anger. If she

was in Jiang City, she could vent her anger to Lassie. But now she was in the United States.

Since she couldn't vent her anger, she thought of Eva and immediately called her without caring what

time it was. Eva had just finished the operation and returned home. Seeing Jenny's call, she guessed

that something must have happened, so she answered the phone immediately. Hearing that Coco was

Quarmy's child, Eva was shocked. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. I didn't believe that the child was Quarmy's before. But when I saw Coco and took a closer look to

him, I found that he was the same as young Quarmy. He must be Quarmy's child!" Jenny didn't doubt

the identity of Coco, but she was angry with Monica's attitude. "This vicious woman secretly gave birth

to a child and prevented the child from living with us. What does she want?"

"She is really vicious." Eva liked to smear Monica. "She wants to use Coco to threaten you."

"Why didn't she tell us that she was pregnant at that time? If she had told me, I wouldn't have forced

her to divorce Quarmy." Jenny had always been a person who pushed the blame to others. This matter

was clearly her fault, but in her eyes, Monica was to blame.

"Who knows." Eva naturally knew why Monica didn't say it. She was like Hannah, who valued dignity

most. Monica thought that Quarmy betrayed her, so she didn't tell him about her pregnancy. Eva

thought that she should encourage Jenny to hate Monica more.

"I think she is deliberately torturing Quarmy and you. She knows that you wants a grandson and

Quarmy feels guilty for her. She wants revenge on you!"

Jenny had the same idea. She thought that Monica was deliberately taking revenge on her and her

son. "Yes! She hates us so she wants to get back at us. This woman is too vicious. I must find a way to

deal with her!"

"What are you going to do?" Eva asked tentatively.

"My grandson belongs to the Huo Family, so I must take him back. As for Monica, I won't let her be my

daughter-in-law. As long as I am alive, she can never be with Quarmy." Jenny was telling the truth. She

only wanted Coco, and she wouldn't let Quarmy marry Monica.

"She will definitely not give the child to you."

"She has to. Can she compete with me?" Jenny became domineering again. "I just need to give her

some money. If she refuses, I will hold a lawsuit. Let's see who will be the winner!"

This was going to get ugly. Jenny was really stupid. Monica was not an ordinary woman but Zoe's

daughter. Jenny thought she would win the lawsuit, but Eva didn't think so. Zoe would definitely help

Monica. However, Eva was happy to see Jenny going against Monica.

Therefore, Eva continued to encourage Jenny. "Yes, you are right. With the power of VSUS, the child

will be yours!"

Jenny felt better after talking with Eva, but Eva was still worried. Eva thought that she had to put in a

good word for Madrigal, so that Jenny would firmly support Madrigal. "Jenny, I tell you, you must not

compromise. The child belongs to the Huo Family, so you can take him back. But his mother is a

vicious woman. You can't accept her easily. After all, Madrigal is much better than her. Monica is

torturing Quarmy and you, while Madrigal is helping you get the sports meeting project. I heard from

Yale that the project would be VSUS's."

"Really?" Jenny was overjoyed.

"Yes. With a daughter-in-law who is so devoted to the development of Huo Family, the company will

definitely be stronger. You can't compromise and let Quarmy do whatever he wants."

"I know. By the way, is Madrigal pregnant?"

"I'll ask her tomorrow." Eva answered. Although she was confident in herself, she was not sure that the

operation would be successful.

Didn't Jenny like children? She deliberately transplant two fertile eggs into Madrigal's womb. If it

succeeded, Madrigal would be pregnant with two children. How small was the chance of twins. Jenny

would definitely be happy!

After talking for a while, Jenny hung up the phone.

Eva was still not at ease. She wanted to call Yale, but when she thought about Madrigal's condition,

she gave up.

After complaining, Jenny felt better. Thinking about what happened before, she realized that she

seemed to have gone too far. His grandson was so young. What if he got hurt after falling to the

ground? She began to worry, so she called her son again, but she still couldn't get through.

Jenny was anxious. Did Coco really get hurt? If so, she would feel guilty. Although she was snobbish,

she was not a wicked person. She was mean, but she never hurt anyone.

At night, her son finally appeared with a sad look on his face. Although Jenny was worried about Coco,

she was used to being arrogant, so her words were not pleasant. "Monica really spoiled that child.

Didn't he just fall? Why were they so anxious?"

"Mom, are you really my mom?" Quarmy looked at her with coldness that she had never seen before.

She shivered unnaturally.

"What do you mean?" Jenny felt a bit guilty.

"How can you say that? Even a healthy child is fragile, let alone a sick child. He is your grandson! How

can you be so indifferent and so coldblooded?" Quarmy suddenly became furious. Monica was going to

marry Leon, and his son was sick. He was really upset.

"Wait! The child is sick? What's wrong with him?" Jenny's heart sank.

"Leukemia!" Quarmy sat down with his head in his arms, and his tone was full of helplessness and

sadness.

"What1? How could my grandson have leukemia?! It's all that woman's fault. If it weren't for her, how

could he get sick?" Jenny was angry and distressed. She had always been a irresponsible person so

she immediately put the blame on Monica.

Quarmy raised his voice, "Now you still have the nerve to find an excuse? Will you feel better after

putting the blame on Monica? It's you who forced me to divorce Monica. You drove Monica and her son

out of the house and made them homeless. It's all your fault!"

"Son, keep your voice down. This is a hotel. Isn't it a shame to be heard by others?" Jenny's face

turned "Shame? Shame on you! You went to the Gu Family to make a scene regardless of dignity. Look

at what you have done today."

"I was anxious at that time. Monica didn't allow me to see my grandson, so I felt unhappy. If she had

allowed me to hug my grandson, would I have done that?" Jenny explained in a low voice.

"You felt unhappy? Shouldn't you thank Monica for raising your grandson? You're also a mother. If

someone wants to rob your son, will you sit by and do nothing?" Quarmy questioned.

"Of course I won't. But I'm not someone else. I'm the child's grandmother. I just want to see the child. I

won't hurt him..."

"Since you want to see the child, you should try your best to pray for the forgiveness of the child's

mother. But what you have done? You are so unreasonable that you will only make things worse.

What's the point of making a scene?"

"I didn't mean to make a scene. I just like my grandson too much. Son, I am your mother. How will I

hurt my grandson?" Jenny felt wronged.

"But you hurt your grandson's mother! Mom, the problem will never be solved unless you treat Monica

well!"

"Does she treat me well? How can you push the blame on me?" Jenny was unhappy.

"You forced her to hate you! Think about it yourself. How filial Monica was to you when she married

me?" "I also treated her well at that time." Jenny retorted.

There was no way to communicate with Jenny. Quarmy could only vent his anger to the table. He

slammed his fist on the table, which scared Jenny. She immediate shut up. Quarmy punched the table

a few more times. Jenny felt distressed and went up to stop him. "Son, don't do this!"

Quarmy looked at Jenny with red eyes. "Mom, if you really love your son, you should go home

immediately. Coco is sick now. I don't want you to disturb them. Monica and I will find a way to cure

him!"

"How? This is not easy. How can I rest assured?" Jenny was unwilling to leave.

"We'll use the cord blood to save Coco. Monica is pregnant now. When the child is born, the operation

can be carried out."

"Monica is pregnant again? Is it yours?" Jenny was surprised. Would she have another grandson? She

didn't know how to express her happiness.

"Yes. You should go back quickly. You'll only cause trouble here." Quarmy softened his tone to

persuade Jenny to leave.

"I won't go back! My grandson is sick. How can I rest assured? I have to stay here to take care of my

grandson." Jenny insisted. When she saw Quarmy staring at her, she immediately said, "I promise I

won't disturb Monica. Don't worry!"

Quarmy let out a long sigh. What should he do to his mother? She was not a completely wicked

person, but she was mean. She had compassion, but she also had a bad temper. With such a mother,

it was bound to be difficult for him and Monica to be together.
