Every Breath You Take

Chapter 124

When Madrigal returned home, Yale's face darkened. "Didn't I tell you not to go out? Why don't you

listen to me?"

"Mom, I have something important to tell you." Madrigal pulled Yale into her room and closed the door.

She lowered her voice and said, "Monica seemed to be pregnant."

"Where did you hear that?" Yale was also surprised. Madrigal told her everything that Mandy said. Yale

was a little anxious. She was sure that Mandy wanted to deal with Monica, but it still needed to be

verified whether Monica was really pregnant.

She immediately called Eva. "Is Monica pregnant?"

Eva was at work. When she heard this, she was stunned. "What? Jenny didn't tell me about this."

"Mandy told Madrigal that Monica got pregnant for saving Coco. I'm not sure about it, so I called you."

Yale was not so panicked after hearing what Eva said. Perhaps this news was not true. She really

hoped Monica was not pregnant.

Eva had the same idea as Yale. However, there's no smoke without fire. Mandy would not lie to

Madrigal specifically. But with Jenny's desire for a grandson, she would be very happy if Monica was

pregnant. How could she have kept it a secret? It was indeed possible to cure leukemia with cord

blood. Eva thought for a while and said, "I will take time to visit Jenny and ask about it." Eva

immediately bought fruits and went to the Huo family. Jenny was very happy to see her. The two

chatted for a while. Then, Eva deliberately mentioned Coco's illness and asked Jenny how to treat

Coco. Jenny sighed, "The child is now in a stable condition. It's not acute leukemia. Quarmy said that it

was not a big deal. As long as Monica's child is born, Coco can be saved."

This was the first time that Jenny had mentioned Monica's pregnancy in front of Eva. Eva cursed Jenny

in her heart. This old woman had hidden the news so well. Fortunately, Mandy told it to Madrigal.

Otherwise, they would still be kept in the dark. Though she hated Jenny, she did not show it on her face

at all. "This is a good thing for you. Not only can your grandson be cured, but you can also have

another grandchild."

"Of course I want to have another grandchild, but I don't want Monica. You know that Quarmy

wholeheartedly wants to marry Monica. Now Madrigal is also pregnant. What should we do? It's giving

me a headache."

Jenny's words made Eva feel anxious. Now the matter of the sports meeting had been settled, and

Jenny was a person who did not keep her promise. If she went back on her word, what should Madrigal

do? Eva said, "Although the success rate with cord blood for leukemia is high, the premise is the

successful matching of cord blood."

Jenny naturally didn't understand this. "What do you mean?"

"I mean the cord blood of Monica's unborn child may not match Coco's." Eva explained. "What? If it

doesn't match Coco's, what should we do?" Jenny was anxious when she heard this.

"Don't worry. It won't necessarily happen. Besides, isn't Madrigal pregnant? Her child is also Quarmy's.

Maybe her child can save Coco."

"Yes, you're right." Jenny immediately reacted.

"So you don't have to worry. Just wait them to have babies. Not only will it cure Coco, it'll give you more

grandchildren. Isn't it a happy thing?"

Jenny nodded. "You're right. We have to look at everything from different angles."

As she spoke, a car's voice sounded. Lassie came in and said, "Mr. Huo is back."

Jenny stood up with a smile on her face. "Why is he back so early today?"

While she is speaking, Quarmy strode into the living room, followed closely by Noah. When Quarmy

saw Eva, he frowned slightly. He used to have a good impression of Eva, but now she was like an

accomplice in his eyes. Although he was not happy, he did not show it on his face. He nodded politely

at Eva and strode into the study.

After closing the door, Quarmy turned on the computer to check the monitor. There were several

monitors inside the house. As long as he checked the monitor, he could get a clear understanding of

what had happened that night.

Quarmy soon saw the scene of that night. His car drove into the Huo family at around 11 p.m. The door

opened. Mary got out of the car first, followed by Madrigal, and then they helped him out of the car

together. At this time, Jenny and Eva also opened the door. Then, they carried him upstairs. There was

no monitor in his bedroom, so he couldn't see what was going on inside. But it could be clearly seen

that those who helped him into the room walked out of the room one by one. Mary came down from

upstairs and left the Huo family.

However, Madrigal did not leave. After Mary left, she went back to Quarmy's bedroom. Seeing that,

Quarmy's face changed.

Noah's face also changed. They looked at each other and then continued to check the monitor. In the

living room, Eva and Jenny were chatting. Quarmy didn't know what they were talking about. He

desperately hoped that Madrigal had entered his bedroom again because she had left something in his

room.

However, this idea was undoubtedly naive. Madrigal entered his room for about an hour before she

went out.

Eva and Jenny got up and said something to Madrigal. In the end, Madrigal and Eva left the Huo family.

Why did Madrigal stay in his bedroom for more than an hour? What had happened in the bedroom?

Quarmy did not dare to believe that he had had sex with Madrigal during this hour. At that time, he was

unconscious. How could a person without consciousness do that kind of thing?

However, what if it was Madrigal who took the initiative? Quarmy suddenly felt sick. It was really

unimaginable that Madrigal, who looked gentle and kind, would do such a shameless thing. What

happened this day completely shocked him. Mary, who was helped by him, turned out to be an

ungrateful person. Madrigal, who had been gentle and virtuous, was actually a shameless woman. His

mother, Jenny, really disappointed him that she actually set him up for her own interests. Besides,

Jenny's best friend Eva was also not a good person.

In all his years at the corporation world, he was always on his guard, and he didn't expect that he would

be set up. Thinking that he might have had sex with Madrigal, he felt disgusted. The great humiliation

and anger filled his heart and his face darkened.

"Mr. Huo, maybe things aren't so bad." Noah tried to comfort him. "You were in a coma at that time.

How could a man do something like that when he was unconscious?"

Quarmy didn't say anything. Since they wanted to set him up, they wouldn't let him go so easily. He

didn't know what had happened, but he would eventually know. It was just a matter of time.

It was impossible for Madrigal to do nothing in his room. Quarmy forced himself to face it. Either he had

a passive sex with Madrigal unconsciously, or Madrigal was in his room to get his sperm for artificial

impregnation. She wanted to get pregnant in this way?

Why did she want to get pregnant with his child so badly? Last time, she was forced by her parents.

What about this time? No one forced her to do so. Besides, she clearly knew that he could not leave

Monica and it was already hard for him to be with Monica, but she still did such a shameless thing.

What did this mean?

Madrigal was not as gentle and kind as she looked. She had been acting. Therefore, everything she

said was not true and she had been deceiving him. What a good actor. He had actually believed her

words before. Quarmy found himself a joke. He had been fooled by a woman! He punched on the

table. Madrigal was so hateful! He would not let her go easily. He must let her know the consequences

of setting him up!

This night, when Summer got off work and returned home, Coco ran over to grab her hand and told

her, "Aunt Summer, that big liar came here again today. I ignored him and even threw out all the things

he brought."

"Good boy!" Summer gave Coco a thumbs-up. "If he comes again, you can throw water all over him

and let him beat a retreat in the face of difficulties."

"What does that mean?" Coco asked.

"I mean let him never come here again." Summer explained.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Monica frowned when she heard this. "Summer, don't talk nonsense."

"This is not nonsense. Quarmy shamelessly abandoned you and your child at that time. What right

does he have to be Coco's father? I am teaching Coco to do the right thing. It can prevent Quarmy from

robbing you of Coco's custody."

"I don't think he'd be so brazen."

"I doubt that. Quarmy's mother is a troublesome woman. With her around, anything can happen. We

must be on our guard."

Monica smiled helplessly. Summer did it for her, so she would not blame her. However, when she

thought of Quarmy's pitiful look, she felt a bit distressed. To be honest, Quarmy was not that

detestable.

Moreover, no matter what, Quarmy was Coco's father. She couldn't let Coco live with hatred. Quarmy

was not a bad guy. Monica knew that he wanted to make it up to them. She couldn't let Coco hate him

like this. It was unfair. At night, Monica mentioned Quarmy before Coco went to sleep. "Don't be rude to

Dad like that in the future."

"Mom, he is a big liar, a bad guy. I don't want such a person to be my dad." Coco insisted. Since he

was young, he had always been eager to have a father, but his father abandoned him and got engaged

to another woman. In his young heart, he had already sentenced Quarmy to death. Quarmy was a big

hateful liar!

"You can't scold Dad like this. Coco, Dad was forced to abandon us."

"What does that mean?" Coco asked.

"I mean he has his own reasons." Monica explained. "There's a reason for his engagement with that

aunt."

"The reason is he wants to marry another woman, right?" The scene of the engagement between

Quarmy and Madrigal was deeply engraved in Coco's mind...

"No, that's not true." "But I saw it. Mom, don't lie to me."

"Mom didn't lie to you. That aunt is sick. Dad got engaged to her in order to take care of her." Monica

couldn't find an excuse for Quarmy, so she told it to Coco.

"Why did Dad want to take care of someone else, instead of Mom and me?" Coco asked.

"Because he felt guilty for that aunt. He owed her." Monica continued to explain, "Dad loves you, but at

that time, he didn't know you were his son."

"Why didn't he know that?"

"Because Mom didn't tell him."

"Is it because he made you unhappy?"

Monica nodded. "Because he hurt me, so I didn't tell him I was pregnant. You were born after I divorced

him. He didn't know your identity before."

Hearing that, Coco felt a little better, but he was still unhappy. "Dad is a bad guy. He hurt Mom, so I still

can't forgive him."

"It's not Dad's fault. It's grown-up stuff. You'll know it when you grow up. Now you just need to

remember that Mom loves you, and Dad loves you too."

"No, I don't believe that Dad loves me. If he loved me, he wouldn't have abandoned Mom and gotten

engaged to someone else." Coco was very stubborn.

Monica sighed. "Dad has dismissed the

engagement with that aunt. He is now single."

"Mom, have you forgiven Dad?" Monica nodded. "Yes, so you should also forgive him. We should live

with love instead of hatred. Only in this way can we be happy." After saying this, Monica suddenly

thought of herself. She had been reluctant to forgive Zoe because of hatred. Easier said than done.

She couldn't do it herself. How could she expect a four-year-old child to do it? It was completely

unrealistic for her to change Coco's mind immediately.

Jenny knocked on the door several times, but Quarmy ignored her. He was extremely disappointed

with his mother. All his respect and love for her had been ruined by her unreasonable behavior.

If he could choose, he would rather not have such a mother. After sitting in the study for a long time,

Quarmy got up and opened the door.

Seeing Quarmy coming out, Jenny complained, "Quarmy, what were you doing? You have to have Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

dinner no matter how busy you are. What time is it now?" Then she said to Lassie, "Serve the dishes!"

Lassie quickly put the dishes on the table. Quarmy was not in the mood to eat. However, he thought

that Noah must be hungry, so he asked Noah to eat with him.

Quarmy and Noah silently had dinner. Quarmy felt that the food was as dry as dust. Finally, Noah put

down the chopsticks, so did Quarmy.

Jenny sat in the wheelchair and said that her son had lost weight recently. Quarmy looked at his

mother with a sarcastic smile. He stood up and was about to leave. Seeing that, Jenny shouted behind

him, "Quarmy, where are you going?" "I'm going for a walk.1' Quarmy said impatiently and went out.

Noah knew that Quarmy was sad, so he followed him. Quarmy looked back and said, "You go home

first. You don't have to follow me."

Noah refused to leave. Quarmy added, "I won't do something stupid. I just want to go to the garden

alone. You go home and have a rest first. Then, you can start to do what I told you."

Hearing this, Noah left. Quarmy went to the garden alone. Although he had been thinking about it in the

study for a long time, he still could not control his anger. He was afraid that he could not help but

question his mother and quarrel with her. However, quarreling was useless. He needed to calm himself

down and find a way.

His mother was still as stubborn as ever. When he thought that he had even knelt down to beg her, he

felt that he was too childish.

And Madrigal's shamelessness was beyond his imagination. Thinking of how hypocritical she was,

Quarmy couldn't help sneering.

He was really an idiot. He was actually deceived by her. Fortunately, he had always loved Monica.

Fortunately, it was not too late.

Quarmy lit a cigarette. The cigarette was bright and dark, and his face was gloomy.

After leaving the Huo family, Eva immediately called Yale. Yale was very anxious when she heard that

Monica was really pregnant. "D*amn it. She is also pregnant. This matter is going to be troublesome.

Why don't we let her miscarry?"

"This is not a good idea. Monica is pregnant for saving Coco. Even if she miscarries, she have another

baby with Quarmy. They can do anything for Coco's sake."

"What should we do? Should we just let her give birth to the baby? What about Madrigal's child?"

"At present, I don't have any good ideas. But we still have time. Let's think about it carefully, there must

be a way." Eva didn't know what to do either.

"I know, but Madrigal is in trouble now. Zoe forces her to go abroad, and I can't afford to wait." Yale was

anxious.

"That's easy. Let Madrigal pretend to be sick." Eva didn't take it seriously.

"No. Zoe is not an idiot. He will definitely not believe it. He will send Madrigal to the hospital for

examination in person. If he finds out that Madrigal is pregnant, he will force Madrigal to have an

abortion. In this way, all our previous efforts will be wasted." Yale retorted.

Eva was silent for a moment. "If it doesn't work, let Zoe know that Madrigal is pregnant."

"No! Absolutely not!" Yale didn't agree.

"Tell Zoe that if Madrigal miscarries, she won't get pregnant again. No matter how tough Zoe is, he

won't let his daughter be alone for the rest of her life."

"He won't believe this!"

"He will. Because it's true."

Eva let out a long sigh. "In fact, it's not easy for Madrigal to get pregnant, so I advised her to have an

artificial impregnation operation. I didn't have much hope for the success of the operation. Fortunately,

God is on her side and she is pregnant. If she has an abortion, she may never be pregnant again in her

life."

Yale was also stunned. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"So what if I told you earlier?" Eva smiled bitterly. "You know how Madrigal lost her last child. If she

could have kept that child, I would have done everything I could to help her, instead of letting her frame

Monica."

"Isn't it because Madrigal ate something she shouldn't have eaten that she couldn't keep the child?"

Yale really didn't want to believe that Madrigal would be sterile.

"This is only one aspect. In order to let Jenny believe that her child was killed by Monica, we let her

provoke Monica. That time, Monica pushed her to the ground and caused some harm to her. Although

Quarmy sent her to the hospital, it took a long time. The most terrible thing was that Quarmy sent her to

the nearest hospital. The doctor who operated on her was a novice. The surgery caused damage to her

body." Eva explained, "Although I did some remedial work on her body later, it is difficult for her body to

return to the past."

Yale was resentful and angry. She never excepted that Madrigal would get hurt by setting up Monica.

They went for wool but came home shorn. However, Yale would not blame it on herself. She swore

fiercely, "Madrigal has become like this for Quarmy. No matter what, I must make Quarmy marry

Madrigal. I swear!" While Zoe asked people to handle the overseas procedures for Madrigal, he also

did not forget to visit Monica and Coco. One day, he bought gifts and went to Roland's villa. Monica

was accompanying Coco to take a walk outside. When Coco saw Zoe, he pointed at him and said,

"Mom, Grandpa is here again."

"Coco, see what Grandpa has bought for you!" Zoe smiled and waved to Coco with a lot of bags in his

hand. Seeing that Monica was not unhappy, Coco walked to Zoe with relief. When he saw that those

gifts were all his favorite, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, you're so nice!"

Zoe put the things on the ground, held Coco in his arms and kissed him on the face a few times. Coco

reached out to push him. "Grandpa's beard is so harsh."

Monica was moved. It was a lot like when she was a child. When Zoe got off work and went home, he

always held her in his arms and kissed her. She the same thing as Coco. "Dad's beard is so harsh."

Hannah, her mother, stood aside and smiled gently.

Everything was great at that time! While she was thinking, Zoe lifted Coco over his head and began to

spin around. Coco laughed happily. After a while, Zoe started to pant. He couldn't help sighing, "I'm old.

I didn't feel tired when I was spinning around with your mother in my arms. Now I actually feel tired to

hold Coco. I'm really useless."

Monica looked at Zoe and saw the white hair on his head. She felt a bit distressed. She went over and

picked up the gifts on the ground and went to the house. "Let's talk inside." Monica's invitation made

Zoe feel flattered. He hurriedly followed Monica into the villa with Coco. Xanjer was not here. Monica

made a cup of tea for Zoe. Then she said to Coco, "Good boy, go play somewhere else!"

Coco nodded and played with the toys bought by Zoe. Zoe picked up the tea and took a sip. He sighed

slightly, "I like your tea."

Monica was silent. She knew that parents were all kind to their children. Did she go too far with Zoe?

While she was thinking, Zoe said, "Moni, I have asked Lancy to prepare a children's room for Coco. It's

next to your room. You can take Coco back! In this way, I can take care of you."

Monica shook her head. Zoe would be nice to Coco, but what about Yale and Madrigal? They were not

kind people. If they wanted to deal with Coco, the consequences would be unimaginable. "Forget it, I

appreciate your kindness. If you want to see Coco, you can come to see him at any time. I don't want

to move back."

"Is it because of Madrigal? I have decided to send her to study abroad. The formalities will be

completed soon..." Zoe told her everything about sending Madrigal abroad. "She won't affect you and

Quarmy any more."

Monica didn't expect that Zoe would do this for her. She shook her head and said, "It's not all because

of her. The point it that I will go abroad with Coco in the future."

"You're not going to marry Quarmy?" Zoe was surprised. "Moni, Quarmy is a good person. What

happened back then is my fault. Please forgive him." Zoe pleaded for Quarmy.

"This has nothing to do with what happened before..." Monica did not know how to explain the

relationship between her and Quarmy.

"Then it's because of Madrigal? Moni, it's not his intention to be with Madrigal. He was set up by that

annoying Mary." Zoe told Monica what Eva told him. "Moni, Quarmy is not unforgivable. He is also a

victim. You should give him a chance even for the sake of the child."

Monica looked at Zoe in shock. She didn't know that Madrigal and Quarmy had had sex before.

Regardless of whether Quarmy was set up or not, it was true that he had sex with Madrigal. Monica

smiled bitterly. Before that, she might have thought of giving Quarmy a chance, but how could she still

give him a chance after such a thing had happened?

Zoe didn't know what Monica was thinking. He bowed his head and said, "Moni, in fact, I can

understand Quarmy."

Monica interrupted him. "Is it because you've both had affairs?"

"No! I didn't cheat on your mom at that time." Zoe defended himself. "I had sex with Yale when I was

drunk. I really love your mother. I always blamed myself for what happened. I didn't dare to face your

mother because I was afraid that she would know it. Self-blame and regret had accompanied me for a

long time."

"But don't you marry your mistress in the end?" Monica sneered. If Zoe had wanted to marry another

woman after Hannah died, Monica would have supported him. But in the end, he married his mistress.

Monica couldn't forgive him.

"I was wrong." Zoe smiled bitterly. "Moni, this is the most unforgivable thing that I have done. I'm a

b*stard, and I've been regretting all the time. That's why I want you to be with Quarmy. You and

Quarmy love each other. You can't be separated because of others. If you really break up with Quarmy,

Mary will get what she wants. I don't want to see that."

Monica was silent, and Zoe continued to persuade her earnestly. "There will always be many

unexpected changes in one's life. What you are facing now is not a big deal. I hope you to face it

bravely with Quarmy. Think about it, if you had listened to Quarmy's explanation, you and Quarmy

wouldn't have become like this. Moni, you should give Quarmy a chance."

Monica had a lot on her mind. Zoe's words made some sense. However, what Mary did shocked her so

much that she couldn't make a decision in a short time. "Let me think about it!"

Zoe left. After coaxing Coco to sleep, Monica sat at the bedside in a daze. Madrigal and Quarmy were

set up by Mary to have sex? And it was the night before she left.

Quarmy didn't come back that night. She once called him, but it was Jenny who answered the phone.

She said that Quarmy was sleeping. The next morning, she went to the hospital to check on her

pregnancy. After leaving the hospital, she received a call from Mary. She arrogantly told her that she

and Quarmy were together last night.

At that time, she was full of joy and excitement because she was pregnant, so she didn't care about

Mary's provocation. Now she felt that this matter was really strange. Since Mary let Madrigal and

Quarmy have sex, why did she lie?

"Wait!" Monica suddenly remembered one thing. At that time, she heard Madrigal and Yale talking

about the examination in the garden. At that time, Madrigal seemed to be on her period. How could she

have sex with Quarmy?

This matter was strange. Who was lying? Mary or Madrigal?
