Every Breath You Take

Monica was pregnant, so Quarmy was responsible for Zoe's funeral. Zoe lived in glory, but he died in disgrace. Because of it, very few people attended his funeral.

Quarmy did not make a big deal out of Zoe's funeral just because he was rich. After the condolences, he buried Zoe. According to Zoe's last wish, he was buried beside Hannah.

On the day of burial, Madrigal also appeared. It was not until Madrigal began to make trouble in the cemetery that everyone noticed her.

Madrigal came here on purpose. She shouted and talked nonsense here, accusing Monica of kicking her out of the Jane family and torturing her. She said that Monica didn't allow her to see Zoe and many ancient paintings left by Zoe were taken by Monica. Madrigal shouted that Yale was Zoe's wife and Zoe should be buried beside Yale.

No one had expected Madrigal to be so shameless. Although Quarmy asked someone to send Madrigal away, Monica still felt uncomfortable.

If Monica had known it would be like this, she would not have promised Zoe to bury him beside her mother.

On the way back, Monica looked unhappy and didn't want to say anything.

Originally, Monica thought that it was the end, but Madrigal started to talk nonsense everywhere and threatened Monica to give her money. If Monica didn't agree, she would report Zoe so that these paintings would be seized.

Monica became more upset. It was Zoe who told Madrigal about the paintings. Zoe's softness brought such big trouble to them, which was really unexpected.

Madrigal's unreasonableness made Roland very angry. He said that he would let someone kill Madrigal.

Leon shook his head. "That's not a good idea. Since Madrigal dares to make trouble, she must have been prepared. Now we are in a legal society and we are not gangsters. We'll have to pay for what we've done."

"Do we really have to give Madrigal money?" Summer asked.

Quarmy sneered, "Why should I give her money? Let her report Zoe."

"What?" Everyone knew something about those paintings. If the matter spread out, it would not be good for Zoe's reputation.

"That's why Madrigal dares to threaten us. If we compromise, she will ask more. Just leave her alone." Quarmy explained, "I'll let someone deal with her. She will know the consequences of offending us." "Yes. We can't compromise!" Monica also agreed. Evil cannot prevail over good. Madrigal was shameless. If they compromised, she would definitely be insatiable.

Madrigal just wanted to get some money from Monica, but Monica actually turned a blind eye to her threat.

Madrigal was so angry. Since that was the case, she had to teach Monica a lesson. Unexpectedly, a fierce person came to her place at night. The man stared at Madrigal fiercely. "Are you the daughter of Flower?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Jerry. Flower, that b*tch, killed my sister and son. I have to kill you!"

"This has nothing to do with me. You can't blame me." Madrigal was scared out of her wits.

Jerry didn't care about it. After being slapped a few times, Madrigal fainted and Jerry carried her away. Madrigal was in the suburbs when she woke up. It was dark around. Jerry was pouring gasoline on her and was ready to burn her to death. She was so scared that she got up and ran. As she ran, she shouted for help. Later, someone came to save her, but Jerry took the opportunity to escape.

After Madrigal was rescued, she immediately called the police. The police replied that they would try to arrest Jerry. Flowever, they also warned her to be more careful. Jerry had killed so many people that he might come to her again.

Madrigal was scared out of her wits. She immediately moved to a different place. She dared not to show up again, let alone make things difficult for Monica.

Of course, Madrigal never dreamed that everything was designed by Jerry. When he heard that Madrigal went to threaten Quarmy's woman, Jerry decided to stop Madrigal because Quarmy used to help him. The one who saved Madrigal was Sam's man, and Noah had told the police to ignore this case.

Madrigal didn't come to make trouble, but Monica was still not happy. Francisco tried to persuade her. "Moni, don't be sad. It's not good for you and your child."

"Uncle, I'm sorry to make you worried. I'll be fine in a few days." Monica sighed.

"Moni, what are you going to do? The child is about to be born. You'd better marry Quarmy as soon as possible."

"Uncle, I don't want to think about it now." Actually, Monica didn't know what to do. During this period, Quarmy and Jenny came to visit her every day. They had talked to her many times about it. Seeing Coco, Quarmy, and Jenny get along well with each other, Monica was really moved. But in the blink of an eye, she saw Leon's gloomy eyes and his indifferent attitude towards Mary. She really felt upset.

She had promised to be with Leon, but it seemed that she had to break her promise. Mary was her sister. She couldn't accept a man who once had sex with her sister.

In addition, Mary really liked Leon very much. Looking at Mary's infatuation with Leon and thinking of their child, Monica really wanted to persuade Leon to accept Mary.

However, since Monica said such words in the hospital that day, Leon had refused to stay with her alone. Obviously he did not want her to persuade him. Monica was really in dilemma. Leon had wasted nine years for her. She couldn't force herself to persuade Leon to marry Mary.

While she was hesitant, Summer came to persuade her. "Moni, give Quarmy a chance."

"Why are you all on Quarmy's side now? Didn't you hate him before?"

"It's a thing of the past. Now we think he is good."

"We?" Monica joked. Recently, Summer and Roland had been very close. Monica understood the enthusiasm in Summer's eyes. This silly girl was actually in love. She was really happy for her.

"Me and Roland!" Summer glared at Monica. "I'm more straightforward than you. If I like him, I will say it loud and try to be with him. But you are different. You always think too much, which makes things difficul for yourself!"

"How can I not think too much?" Monica sighed. "I promised to marry him, but now I have to ask him to marry another woman. I know as long as I ask, he will listen to me. But is this really good for him? Will he be happy?"

After a moment of silence, Summer suddenly asked her, "Moni, I want to ask you, who is more important to you? Quarmy or Leon?"

Monica was also asking herself, who was more important to her? In the past, Quarmy was more important. But Leon had done so many things to her, and she was really moved.

"You have been unable to forget Quarmy for so many years, so you must have feelings for him. As for Leon, he has always been obsessed with you and has done so much for you. It's impossible for you to be unmoved. Moni, you should know the difference between love and friendship, affection, and compassion."

"I..." Monica asked herself, "Do I really not love Quarmy? No! I've always loved him, so I can't tolerate his betrayal. Because I love him, I couldn't forgive him before." However, her feelings for Leon were very complicated. She liked Leon because he was really nice and she wanted to rely on him.

"What Leon needs is a woman who loves him wholeheartedly, not a woman who loves another man. Since you can't give him equal love, leave him as soon as possible. You should take the initiative to tell him your thoughts instead of hesitating." Summer emphasized. "Leon has been waiting for you for so many years. Now Mary is pregnant with his child. For Leon's happiness, you should be with Quarmy. If you are not happy, how can Leon be happy?"

Summer was right. If she was not happy, how could Leon be happy? Mary was gentle and kind, and she would definitely make Leon happy. She'd better give up on Leon. She had to talk to Leon about this matter.

Someone told Coco that Mary was pregnant with Leon's child. He came to Monica with disappointment. "Mom, Auntie is pregnant with Uncle Gu's child. Can you still marry Uncle Gu?"

Monica nodded. "Yes, Auntie is pregnant with Uncle Gu's child, so Mom can't marry him. Do you feel sad?" "A little." Coco replied. "Although I really want Uncle Gu to be my father, Aunt Summer said that your next baby is my father's child. I already have a father. Although he used to hurt us, he is very good now. Grandma is also very nice to me. Aunt Summer asked me to give Dad a chance. Mommy, will you give Dad a chance?"

"Coco, will you give Dad a chance?"

"If you will, I will."

Monica touched Coco's head. "Good boy." Suddenly, she felt that someone was looking at her from behind. She turned her head and saw Leon standing behind her, looking at her and Coco. "Leon, when did you come?"

"I just got here." Leon came over and said, "Moni, let's have a talk!"

Monica nodded and went to the garden with Leon. Leon helped her sit on the bench. "Moni, do you believe in fate?"

Monica shook her head. She did not know why Leon said so.

"In the past, I didn't believe in fate. I always believed that I could get what I wanted after working hard. But now, I found that I was wrong!" Leon looked at her beautiful face. "Since that thing happened, I've been so confused and struggling inside. I dare not to face you. I have thought about it for so many days. Today, I finally have the courage to come to you."

Monica sighed. "I'm sorry, Leon. It's all my fault."

"No! It has nothing to do with you. Monica, it's my fault. My love is not firm enough. After getting along with Mary for a period of time, I found that she is a good girl. She is gentle, kind, pure and lovely, just like you. I want to be with her. I found that I have fallen in love with her, so I decide to terminate our engagement. I'm sorry."

This was not true. In fact, he wanted to say, "Monica, I really love you. After loving you for so many years, I have always believed that I have the ability to make you happy. I really want to keep you by my side for the rest of my life. But I can't be so selfish."

"To love someone is to make her happy. I don't think I'm great. I just don't want to see you in dilemma. Therefore, I must take the initiative to let go of your hand."

"Leon!" Monica's eyes were full of tears. Even a fool would know why Leon offered to break the engagement at this time. "Thank you. I'm sorry!"

"I am not as great as you think. I really like Mary. She is pregnant with my child. I'm no longer young, it's time for me to have a home." He liked Mary, but it was not love. He chose to be with Mary because he had to be responsible for her. More importantly, he did it to make Monica happy.

"I've already told Grandma that I'll get engaged to her first. Then, we'll get married. Grandma's got people preparing for it. I hope you can attend my engagement ceremony."

Monica nodded. "I will. Leon, you must be happy!"

The news that Leon was going to marry Mary was immediately known by everyone. Everyone sincerely wished them happiness. Quarmy took the initiative to hold Leon's hand. "Leon, you must be happy!"

It was from Quarmy's heart. He really admired Leon for making such a sacrifice for Monica. Leon must be happy! It was the only way he and Monica could be happy.

Leon and Mary's engagement was immediately announced. Mandy also knew it. When she heard that Mary was Monica's sister, she was really angry. So her plan was a total waste? Something that made her unhappier happened. Under the pressure of the Wang family, Mandy's parents took the initiative to break the engagement of Mandy and Roland. Mandy was still dreaming of having Roland marry her after three years. She did not expect that her parents would take the initiative to break off the engagement. She was hysterical.

It was all Monica's fault. If it weren't for this b*tch, she wouldn't have become like this. Mandy returned to China with anger.

Mandy had a plan in her mind. Monica ruined her happiness, so she would never let Monica go. She must teach Monica a lesson.

When she heard that Madrigal had become a barmaid, she went to Madrigal in person. She told Madrigal that they could deal with Monica together.

Madrigal was naturally unhappy to be in such a situation. The two of them decided to teach Monica a good lesson.

They had a plan. Madrigal went to get someone to kidnap Monica, and Mandy would pay for it. They hoped to kidnap both Monica and Coco and then secretly kill them.

In order to avoid Jerry, Madrigal became a hooligan's lover. The man called Tom was working at a bar. Madrigal chose to be with Tom because Tom looked like the boss of the bar. She expected Tom to help her when she was in trouble. When Mandy said that she wanted to hire someone to deal with Monica, Madrigal thought of Tom.

Of course, there was another reason she wanted Tom to do this. Even if Tom got caught, she would be safe because it had nothing to do with her. She could run away with Mandy's money.

When Madrigal got home at night, she told Tom about this matter. Tom agreed because there was a payment.

Mandy gave Tom a sum of money as a deposit, and the rest of the money would be paid once Tom completed the mission.

After a few days, Tom suddenly changed his mind. He said that they should change a way. Normally, kidnapping was for money. However, this kidnapping was for killing. It was the rule of law now. If someone died, none of them could get away.

Madrigal asked him what to do. Tom asked her what they wanted. Madrigal said they just wanted revenge. Tom said that the best revenge was not to kill, but to make someone live a worse life than death. Tom proposed to hit Monica until she miscarried after kidnapping her. They could vent their anger without anyone knowing. Also, Coco would die because Monica miscarried and lose the cord blood. It was the safest way. Anyway, they didn't kill Monica directly.

Madrigal told Mandy what Tom said. Mandy's eyes lit up. How could she not think of such a good idea? Indeed, to Monica, killing her unborn and then Coco wouldn't have the cord blood to save his life, the were more painful than killing her. Mandy agreed.

After the discussion, Tom let someone go to the hospital to kidnap Monica. Mandy and Madrigal were waiting at the appointed place. A few hours later, a black car appeared in front of them. The pregnant Monica was tied up and pushed off the car. Then she was pushed into the house. Mandy went up and kicked Monica. "B*tch, fu*k off!"

Madrigal also went to kick and punch Monica. Soon she saw Monica fall to the ground, with blood all over her body.

Seeing this, Madrigal and Mandy wanted to run away, only to see the police standing outside the door. They were soon arrested, and the pregnant woman whose head was covered was also carried out. They surprisingly found that the pregnant woman was not Monica, but a strange woman.

"What's going on?" Madrigal pointed at the strange woman and asked Tom angrily.

"Isn't this the woman you asked me to bring here?" Tom asked.

"You... You lied to me?" Madrigal finally knew that she had been set up. However, it was too late. The police charged her and Mandy with kidnapping and murder.

Article 239 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever kidnaps another person for the purpose of extorting money or property, or kidnaps another person as a hostage, shall be sentenced to not less than 10 years' fixed-term or life imprisonment and a fine or confiscation of property; whoever causes the death of or kills the kidnapped person shall be sentenced to death and confiscation of property. The police thought that this kidnapping was a great threat to the safety of the victim and caused a miscarriage. Madrigal and Mandy should be sentenced to death.

After an appeal by their lawyer, they were commuted to life imprisonment. Madrigal and Mandy would spend the rest of their lives in prison.

The whole thing was planned by Quarmy and Roland. They had kept an eye on Mandy since she returned. If Mandy didn't make trouble, they would let her go. However, Mandy went to Madrigal in order to dea with Monica. Quarmy knew clearly about their plan. Since these two b*tch wanted to die so badly, they had to satisfy them. Therefore, they arranged the whole thing and sent the two b*tches to prison.

That pregnant woman was not really pregnant. She was just acting.

After dealing with Mandy and Madrigal, Monica's due date was almost approaching. Quarmy began to prepare for Coco's surgery. He hired the best doctors for Monica and Coco. The two operations would be carried out in one hospital, Coco entered the operating room 9 days ago and had eight days of intensive chemotherapy according to plan. He was isolated from the outside world. No one was allowed to enter the operating room except for medical staff.

Eight days of intensive treatment was over. The operation day was one day later.

On the day of Coco's operation,

Monica went into the operating room for a cesarean section. Before,

เอนๆ

she had Coco in a straight birth. This time, in order to cooperate with Coco's surgery, Monica chose f cesarean section. She was on the

operating table under looo!

anesthesia, but her consciousness was still very clear. She could hear

the sound of a knife cutting her skin, but she did not feel afraid. She just wanted to save her child.

Quarmy had been waiting outside and witnessed the whole process of delivery. This was a moment of life. He was really excited to witness the birth of his child. He couldn't help but want to cry.

The nurse was busy measuring the weight and height of the baby while the doctor was taking the baby's cord blood. Hearing the child's crisp crying, Monica tried to see the child clearly. Quarmy went to her and said, "Moni, it's a boy. He is very healthy. Now the doctor is taking his cord blood for Coco. Thank you!"

After that, he kissed Monica's forehead. The nurse gave Quarmy the child. He came out with the child in his arms. Jenny, Summer, Mary and others had been anxiously waiting outside the operating room. Seeing Quarmy coming out, Jenny rushed forward to take the child. "Grandson, my grandson!" Then she asked Quarmy, "How is Moni?"

"Moni is fine. She'll come out later." Quarmy answered, "Mom, take care of Moni. I'll go check on Coco."

Jenny nodded. Mary and Summer continued to wait outside with the baby.

The doctor brought the cord blood to Coco. Coco's operating room was next to Monica's. The doctor was stitching up Monica's wound, and Coco's operation was starting.

After a brief meeting, Coco's attending doctor went to Coco's operating room. Because the pipes had been inserted into Coco's body from the collarbone before, what the doctor needed to do was to input the cord blood through the central vein. The doctor estimated that the operation would be completed in half an hour.

Quarmy nervously stood outside and observed his son on the operating table through the glass. The doctor was injecting the cord blood into Coco's body. In the process, some adverse reactions happened inside his body. Coco felt uncomfortable and he began to struggle in pain. He looked really painful. The doctor let Coco cry so that he could take a deep breath to relieve the pain. Coco's cry upset Quarmy. If possible, he would rather bear all the pain! He tore his hair in pain. Seeing that, Roland and Leon held his hands on both sides and cheered for Coco with him.

The operation was finally completed. Coco's heart rate was normal, and everything went well. Quarmy finally felt relieved. The doctor walked out of the operating room. Quarmy came forward to hold his hands and thanked him.

Monica had been trying her best to keep awake. She wanted to know the result of Coco's operation, but she failed to resist the effect of anesthesia. She was too tired to have any strength. She only heard a slight whisper beside her. It was Quarmy's voice. He whispered in her ear, "Moni, don't worry. Our child will be fine. You can rest assured. Everything will be fine after you wake up!"

Monica slept for a long time, and she didn't even know when she was pushed into the ward. She faintly heard someone talking next to her. There were too many familiar voices, such as Summer's, Mary's, and Jenny's. Of course, there was also Quarmy's voice.

She tried hard to open her eyes and saw people in the ward. Quarmy came to her immediately. With a joyful smile on his face, he reached out to hold her hand. "Moni, are you awake?"

"Coco! How is Coco?" Monica was most concerned about Coco.

"Coco's operation went well. Don't worry!" Quarmy answered immediately.

"Thank God!" Monica felt relieved. As long as Coco's operation went smoothly, she could rest assured.

Jenny also came over. She was holding the newborn child in her arms. "Moni, the baby is very healthy. Look at him!"

Monica looked at the pink child in Jenny's hand and smiled. Summer, Mary, Leon and Roland all came to congratulate her. Monica thanked them one by one. After chatting for a while in the ward, they left. Monica had not eaten for a long time, so Quarmy was very worried. "Moni, are you hungry?"

"Yes!" Of course, she was hungry.

Quarmy looked at Jenny and said, "Mom, it's been hours since Moni gave birth to the child. Have you asked someone to prepare food? She is hungry."

Jenny looked at her watch and glared at her son. "I know. But she can't eat now. The doctor said that she had to fart before she ate. If she eats too early, it may cause a stomachache or even bowel

obstruction."

"Ah, really?" Quarmy did not know it.

"Yes."

"Then what should we do? Let her be hungry?" Quarmy looked at Monica with distress.

"Yes. We can do nothing." Jenny couldn't do anything about it.

"You may go back now. You are not in good health. Go back to have some rest. Quarmy will accompany me." Monica knew that Jenny must have been waiting here for a whole day. Jenny had just recovered

and needed more rest.

"Yes, Mom, you can go back first. I'm here!" Quarmy added. Jenny was really tired, so she didn't insist and left.

After Jenny left, Quarmy sat down beside Monica's bed. He combed her hair with his hand and reached out to hold her hand tightly. "Moni, thank you!" "Thank you for giving birth to Coco! Thank you for forgiving me! I know I am not good enough. I know that I have hurt you deeply in the past. But Moni, as long as you give me a chance, I will not let you down.

"I will make up for what I've done to you. From now on, I will protect you and our children forever!"

Monica felt the warmth from Quarmy's palm. After so many years, she still got back together with Quarmy. This time, they were not alone. They had two children. With Jenny's support, she believed that they

would be

happy.

Quarmy was busy. He had to take care of Monica and Coco. Monica was fine, so what he was most worried about now was Coco. Although the cord blood gas was successfully transplanted into Coco's body, it

did not mean that Coco would be cured.

The doctor told Quarmy that after

the cord blood transplant, Coco needed to survive infection, immigration, and rejection to be considered as cured. Among them rejection was the most difficult one. The rejection reaction could happen at any time, such as fever, vomiting, eating, diarrhea, etc. The doctor

needed to treat Coco at any time according to the situation and Coco needed to listen to the doctor. In general, Coco could return to his normal condition after three to four

weeks.

Quarmy went to see Coco every hour. Because there were uncertain factors, Quarmy was extremely anxious, but he couldn't show it in front of Monica.

Every time when Monica asked him about Coco's condition, he always said that Coco was fine. Finally, the doctor told Quarmy that Coco had successfully survived the infection, immigration, and rejection.

Quarmy was very happy and immediately told Monica about this.

Monica had begun to try to walk. When she heard this, she was overjoyed. Quarmy helped her to visit Coco. Through the glass, they saw Coco talking to them. Because of the sound insulation effect, they

could not hear it clearly. However, they could see that Coco was calling Dad and Mom.

Monica's face was full of tears. Her son! Her sweetheart finally survived!

Coco was soon transferred to the general ward. Monica and Quarmy went to see him. Coco hugged and kissed them. "Mom and Dad, I want to see my brother."

"Your brother is sleeping. When he wakes up, we'll bring him to you." Monica explained.

"Mom, what's my brother's name?" Coco asked again.

"Joyce."

"J-O-Y-C-E?"

"Yes! Joyce means happy and joyful!"

"I have to thank him for saving me. I will treat him well and give him the best I have. I'll protect him and let him have a happy life!" Coco promised.

"Not only that. Our family will be forever happy!" Monica added.

"Yes!" Quarmy held Monica's and Coco's hands again. The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They had experienced so much. They must live a happy life.

Three months later, Leon and Mary's wedding was held in the United States. Monica and Quarmy took their two sons to attend the wedding. Summer and Roland also appeared at the wedding. They were the

groomsman and the bridesmaid.

Roland had already brought Summer to the Wang family. The Wang family was very satisfied with this straightforward girl. On the day of their meeting, they had given Summer many expensive gifts. Summer told Monica that she was actually very nervous when she was in the Wang family. Her palms were sweating. She thought that she would be teased or even bullied, but nothing happened. Old Mr. Wang was very kind to her, and so was Gracie. After the meeting, the Wang family had already started to arrange their wedding.

The wedding music rang out. Leon and Mary said "Yes, I do" under the witness of everyone. There were tears shining in Monica's eyes as she watched them exchange rings and kiss each other.

The rainbow comes after the storm. She blessed her loved ones and herself a lifetime of happiness and peace!

(The End)
