Every Breath You Take

After finishing the discharge procedure, Monica left the hospital directly. After getting into the car, Coco finally calmed down in Monica's arms. The scene just now scared the little fellow. He held Monica's neck tightly and looked in the direction of the hospital in horror, fearing that the bad woman would catch up with him. Monica constantly comforted him and promised him that it would never happen again. Only then did Coco feel relieved.

"Monica, where are we going now?" Roland, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at Monica and slightly slowed down.

Monica looked down at Coco, who was too tired to open his eyes, and whispered, "Let's go to People's Hospital."

Coco moved his body and suddenly opened his eyes. He stared at Monica in panic. "No, Mom. I'm not going to the hospital. I want to go home."

Monica's heart ached. She hurriedly comforted him. "Okay, okay. We won't go to the hospital. We'll go home right away."

Summer sat by the side and helped Monica to coax Coco, who soon quieted down. Summer sighed and gently pulled the corner of Monica's clothes. "What should we do?" She mouthed.

Monica frowned slightly. She was also worried. At present, Coco's mood was very unstable, and he had a sense of resistance to the hospital. If she forced him to go to the hospital, he would cry again. However, he was in poor health, and she couldn't be at ease if he did not go to the hospital.

Roland suddenly said, "How about this? Take Coco to my house first. I will immediately call a doctor and a nurse to take care of Coco. In this way, we don't need to worry about Coco's health and we won't make him afraid. Moreover, Quarmy won't be so easy to find you."

Summer immediately agreed. "That's a good idea. If we go to the hospital, Jenny will definitely be able to find you. Coco may be scared again."

"This is too much trouble for you. We'd better go home first." It was feasible to hire a doctor and a nurse to take care of Coco, but it was too inconvenient for Monica to live in Roland's house. Monica was embarrassed to bother him again. Besides, he was engaged, so it would be troublesome for her and Coco to live in his house.

Of course, Roland understood Monica's concerns. He thought for a moment and said, "You can go to my villa in the west of the city. It's very close to the TV station. Miss Xia can move there and live with you for a few days."

Monica thought for a moment and agreed.

After Lassie told Yale that Quarmy and Monica had come back, Yale began to plan what to do. Coco was a big trouble. It was possible that all of her efforts would be wasted. She had to discuss it with Eva, so she called Eva. Eva also wanted to talk to her, so they decided to meet each other at a cafe. As soon as they met, Yale told Eva that Coco was Quarmy's son. Eva sighed and said, "I've known it for a long time I was afraid that it would affect Madrigal's mood, so I didn't tell you."

"You should have told me earlier." Yale complained, "Quarmy has a deep affection for Monica. Since Coco's his son, he will definitely convince Jenny to let him marry Monica. Jenny wants a grandson so much. If you had told me earlier, I could have thought of a way to deal with it earlier."

"You don't have to think of a way. Now Jenny and Monica are fighting."

Eva told her about the dispute between Jenny and Monica. "Don't worry, Jenny won't let Monica be her daughter-in-law. She is now looking for a lawyer to sue Monica. With Jenny around, Monica and Quarmy are bound to be enemies."

Yale felt a little relieved when she heard that. "But the child is always a trouble."

"The child is suffering from leukemia. I wonder whether he can be cured or not." Eva did not think that the child was a trouble. "Anyway, Jenny wants her grandson, but she doesn't want Monica. What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know how to explain it to Zoe." Yale reminded Eva, "Without this child, Madrigal can marry Quarmy after getting pregnant in a justified way. Now with this child, I have to spend more time to persuade Zoe. What a headache."

"Don't worry. Just blame it on Quarmy. It's Quarmy's fault for having sex with Madrigal after drinking." Eva sneered. "That Mary has gone abroad and can't come back. Let's blame it on her." "That's the only way." For the time being, Yale couldn't come up with a good idea. Eva told Yale her plan and asked her to remind Madrigal. "Don't let Zoe suspect you two." After a discussion, the two of them went out of the cafe.

With Eva's encouragement, Jenny was eager to deal with Monica. After Eva left, she immediately called a lawyer to the hospital and asked what punishment would Monica receive.

The lawyer said that under this situation, Monica could be sentenced to imprisonment for up to three years. Of course, if Jenny agreed to make peace with Monica, all Monica had to do was pay compensation. Jenny was secretly happy to hear the lawyer's analysis. This time, she wanted Monica to beg her. She had to let Monica kneel down and admit her mistake. Otherwise, she would definitely let her go to jail. The lawyer left the hospital and immediately called Quarmy to tell him that Jenny was going to sue Monica. Quarmy rushed to the hospital and said, "Mom, how long are you going to be unreasonable? It's time to stop! Don't make trouble anymore!"

"Am I being unreasonable? Look at how I am now! You just watched that woman beat me up like this, and you didn't say anything at all. Are you still my son?"

"Wasn't it an accident?"

"What are you talking about? She did it on purpose. She hates me so much that she wants me to die, so she tortured me like this!"

"You're being unreasonable. If you hadn't brought Coco back, Monica wouldn't have hurt you."

"Did I do something wrong? Coco is my grandson!" Jenny shouted, "You ungrateful b*stard. I raised you up but you treat me like this for a woman. Are you still a human? Let me tell you, this time I have to send her to jail!"

Quarmy knew that he had no way to communicate with his mother, so he slammed the door and left. Jenny was so angry that she gasped. "Just wait and see. I'll let you know how powerful I am."

Jenny asked the lawyer to sue Monica. Monica received a court summons soon. Roland immediately hired an lawyer for her. Jenny asked her lawyer to show the monitor to the court. The court thought that although Monica didn't mean to hurt Jenny, she caused serious injury to Jenny, so she should bear civil liability and criminal liability.

However, the court suggested them to make peace in private. Quarmy went to Jenny and said, "Mom, Monica is pregnant. You have to think about her unborn baby."

Hearing Quarmy's words, Jenny also remembered that Monica was pregnant with Quarmy's child. She didn't want Monica to go to jail, she just wanted Monica to admit her mistake. Since her son said so, she had to find a way out. "I can give up punishing her. Let her come to the hospital and apologize to me on her knees!"

"Isn't that a imposition?" Quarmy smiled bitterly. How could Monica kneel down and apologize to Jenny? It was impossible.

"I don't care. I'm so badly injured, so what if I let her kneel down to apologize? This is what she owes me. I will never give in. Apologize or go to jail. It's up to her!"

Seeing that Jenny refused to give in, Quarmy frowned and left the hospital. Jenny thought that this time Monica would have to admit her mistake. Unexpectedly, she was wrong.

Monica would rather bear the responsibility than apologize. D*mn Monica! How could she be so stubborn?! It was just an apology. It wouldn't kill her! Jenny muttered in her heart. Should she really send Monica to jail? Monica was pregnant with her grandson. If her grandson knew that she had forced his mother to go to jail, he would definitely hate her. However, she had no turning back. Quarmy had been absent, and she didn't want to take the initiative to call him.

While Jenny was anxious, her lawyer came to the hospital. He told Jenny that Monica's lawyer got Monica a bail pending trial, so she did not need to go to jail. Although Jenny didn't really want Monica to go to jail, this result was a great humiliation to her. She was so angry that she smashed everything in the ward. Then, she vent her anger to Lassie again. Lassie looked obedient, but in her heart, she had been cursing Jenny all the time.

After venting her anger, Jenny naturally had to discuss it with Eva. Eva did not expect that this matter would end so easily. Jenny felt really annoyed. After cursing for a while, she thought of robbing the child. Eva was not interested in the child at all, but Jenny was determined to get the child. Eva knew Monica would definitely not let go of the child. In order to compete with Jenny, Monica would definitely ask Zoe for help. With Zoe around, it was impossible for Jenny to get the child.

Of course, Eva did not want Jenny to take the child back. Madrigal's surgery was successful, and she would give birth to two grandsons for Jenny immediately. Eva didn't want Coco to live in the Huo family because Madrigal would marry Quarmy in the future. Therefore, she had to let Monica get the child. As long as Monica took the child away, Madrigal would be happy.

Eva suddenly came up with an idea. She had to tell Zoe about this matter and let him make a choice.

Zoe knew that Quarmy had followed Monica to America. He thought that it was not a big deal, so he didn't care about it. Only when Jenny accused Monica of intentional injury did he knew that what had happened. Hearing that Monica's child was Quarmy's, Zoe was really shocked. Then, he hated Jenny, the old woman, more.

In the past, Jenny forced Quarmy to divorce Monica because Monica was sterile. Now since Coco was Jenny's grandson, Jenny should accept Monica happily. Why was Jenny so stubborn?

How would Zoe let Monica go to jail? He immediately met with the judge and told him about this matter. The judge advised him to persuade Jenny to give in or get Monica a bail pending trial.

Zoe called Quarmy to persuade Jenny. Quarmy sighed and said that his mother did not listen to him at all. Jenny insisted on Monica to kneel down and admit her mistake. Quarmy said that he was thinking of other ways...

Hearing this, Zoe was also very angry. This old woman was really hateful. Who did she think she was? He hung up the phone angrily.

Jenny clearly knew that Monica was Zoe's son, but she was still so arrogant. Did she want to die so badly? How dared she fight with an official? Zoe wanted Jenny to know that how powerful a mayor was, so he immediately called the judge and asked him to get Monica a bail pending trial. The judge naturally wouldn't refuse the mayor's request.

Monica was fine. Zoe thought about visiting his daughter and grandson, but Eva called him at this time. She said that she wanted to talk to him.

Zoe went to see Eva. "What's the matter?"

"It's about Monica."

"When did you care about Monica so much?" Zoe sneered. Eva hated Hannah so much that it was impossible for her to help Monica.

"Do you know why Monica broke up with Quarmy?" Eva did not care about his sarcasm.

"Do you know?"

"I went to see Jenny today, and she told me everything." Eva sighed. "Didn't Quarmy have a lover, Mary? She doesn't want Quarmy to be with Monica, so she went to provoke Monica. Quarmy didn't want to make troubles, so he broke up with Mary. Mary asked to have a dinner with Quarmy before going abroad, he agreed."

"Did Moni see Quarmy and Mary having dinner together?"

"No, but that Mary is really vicious. She knew that Madrigal and Monica were sisters, so she came up with a vicious idea. That night, she invited Quarmy to dinner, but she drugged his wine. Then she called Madrigal to pick him up with the excuse that he was drunk. Quarmy was drugged by Mary, so he had sex with Madrigal..."

"Is this true?" Zoe's face suddenly changed. If Madrigal really had sex with Quarmy, Monica would certainly not forgive Quarmy. Originally, Zoe hoped that Monica and Quarmy would get back together for the child's sake, but it seemed to impossible now.

Eva nodded. "It's absolutely true. Quarmy doesn't know what have happened. Madrigal didn't dare to tell him about it for Monica's sake. She just told Jenny about it. Originally, this matter could have been over, but Mary was so hateful that she called Monica and told her about it before she left. In the end, Monica went abroad with anger."

It was Eva who instructed Mary to call Monica, but Eva didn't know that Monica left because of pregnancy. She thought she left because Quarmy had sex with Madrigal, so she didn't need to worry about her lies being exposed.

"D*mn it!" Zoe said with anger. "Monica refused to forgive Quarmy because of this. When Jenny knew that Monica's child was Quarmy's, she also went the United States. She wanted to get her grandson and let Quarmy marry Monica. However, Monica refused to forgive Quarmy and refused to let Jenny see Coco. Jenny was so angry that she brought Coco back. Monica also went back. Monica pushed Jenny down the stairs while they were fighting. You know Jenny's temper well. She will never forgive Monica after getting injured. I don't think Jenny will let Monica be her daughter-in-law again."

Eva sighed.

"That's all?"

"I also want to tell you that Jenny is determined to compete with Monica for Coco. You have to find a way to help Monica."

"Isn't Jenny your good friend? Are you betraying your friend?" Zoe did not believe that Eva would be so kind.

"I'm helping Monica. Why did you say that?" Eva was unhappy. "Monica is my niece. I can't let Jenny take her child away."

"Thank you very much!" Zoe said with a fake smile, "I will pay attention to this matter. As long as I am here, no one can take my grandson away!"

With Zoe's guarantee, Eva was relieved. Her goal was achieved, so she got up to leave.

Eva walked out of the private room and bumped into a waiter. The waiter poured the tea on her. Eva's clothes were wet and the hot tea made she felt very painful. She slapped the waiter in the face. "Are you blind?"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The waiter apologized. The commotion here attracted the attention of other guests. Seeing that, Eva did not argue with the waiter anymore and left the tea room in a hurry.

After a long time, Zoe walked out of the tea room and left in a hurry.

"Hey, isn't this Mayor Jane?" Summer's colleague, who was drinking tea, pointed at Zoe.

Summer turned around. "Yes."

"Why is he here?"

"The mayor is also a human. It's normal for him to drink tea here."

"But the fierce woman just now came out of his private room."

Summer also saw Eva hit the waiter, but she did not pay much attention to it. Now that her colleague said so, she was stunned. What was the purpose of Eva and Zoe meeting each other?

Zoe went out of the tea room and went home. Yale greeted him. "Why are you back so early today?"

Zoe snorted. "Where's Madrigal?"

"She's sleeping upstairs."

"Why does she sleep in the daytime? Let her come down. I want to talk to her." Zoe's face darkened.

Yale immediately went upstairs and pushed open the door of Madrigal's bedroom. She lowered her voice. "Your dad wants to ask you about Quarmy. Do as Eva said. Don't make any mistakes, understand?" "Got it." Madrigal tidied up and went out of the bedroom.

Looking at Zoe's sullen face, Madrigal felt a bit nervous. She had been afraid of Zoe. "Dad, I'm here." Madrigal tried to speak as if nothing had happened.

Zoe snorted and motioned Madrigal to sit down opposite him. "What's going on between you and Quarmy?"

"Dad, I have nothing to do with him." Madrigal answered with an innocent look.

"Really?" Zoe looked at Madrigal. "Have you seen Quarmy in private?"

"Yes." Madrigal lowered her voice.

"So it's your fault that Moni and Quarmy broke up?"

"Dad, this has nothing to do with me."

"Really?" Zoe looked at her coldly. Madrigal was freaked out. "Dad, I'm innocent! It's all Quarmy's fault... He was drunk... Later... I didn't tell anyone, not even my mother. It's really not my fault."

This was to admit that she had had sex with Quarmy. Zoe originally expected that Eva was talking nonsense, but Madrigal's words proved that Eva was not lying.

He grabbed the cup in front of him and smashed it on the ground. "Didn't I warn you not to approach Quarmy? How can you ignore my words?"

"I didn't mean it... Dad... I really didn't know it would turn out like this." Madrigal sobbed. "That Mary asked to me take Quarmy home because he was drunk. I didn't think much about it, however... Quarmy became an animal after he saw him, and it was useless no matter how I struggled. Later... he fell asleep, I... I sent him home. I can guarantee that only Auntie Sun knows about this."

"If you don't want people to know what you do, don't do it! Don't you know such a simple thing?"

"What happened?" Yale came over in a panic.

"Your daughter did an amazing thing!" Zoe glared at Yale fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"Dad, it's my fault. It has nothing to do with Mom. She doesn't know anything. If you want to scold, scold me!" Madrigal knelt on the ground and said, "I'll go and explain to my sister... It's not Quarmy's fault!" "Explain what? If you explain it, Moni and Quarmy will be together?" Zoe glanced at Madrigal, who was crying bitterly. "From now on, you stay at home obediently. Don't go anywhere!"

After that, Zoe went to study angrily. Yale reached out to help Madrigal up. The mother and daughter looked at each other with pride.

Summer went back to Roland's villa. On the way, she bought some snacks that Coco liked. Coco was very happy to see Summer coming back, "Aunt Summer, did you bring me anything?" "Little boy, I knew you would say that so I brought you snacks." As she spoke, she gave the snacks to Coco.

"You spoiled him." Monica reached out to touch Coco's head. Looking at her son's happy smile, she smiled and said, "Why don't you thank your auntie?"

"Thank you, Auntie!" Coco thanked Summer sweetly. "Go enjoy it. Auntie and your mother want to have a talk." Coco obediently went aside. Summer pulled Monica aside. "I saw Eva and your father in the tea room just now. Why were they together?"

"How would I know?" Monica shook her head.

"Eva is so beautiful, and she is not married. Does it have anything to do with your father?"

"No way." Monica shook her head.

"Why not? Eva looks so similar to your mother. Maybe your father regards her as your

mother's substitute."

"Are you crazy?" Monica shook her head. "Let me tell you, Eva is the lover of Roland's father."

"Ah!" Summer was shocked. "The lover of Roland's father? Does Roland know that?"

"Of course I know!" A sudden voice sounded, and Roland appeared in front of them without anyone noticing.

"I..." Summer blushed. Although she didn't say anything unpleasant, she still felt embarrassed.

"We didn't say anything bad about you..."

"I know. I've heard what you said." Roland said indifferently. "This isn't a secret."

Hearing that, Summer breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Monica. "In fact, it's not the first time I saw Eva and your father together. I saw them meet in a tea room before. They looked careful. I felt strange

at that time. I wanted to tell you, but I forgot it later."

"When did it happen?" Monica was surprised. "Let me think about it." Summer rubbed her forehead. "I can't remember the exact time. It should be not long after you moved into the Jane family."

"Could it be that Eva is his lover?" Monica's face suddenly darkened. Zoe used to cheat on her mother, it was also possible for him to cheat on Yale.

"That's great. This is called karma." Summer snorted. "Yale can finally know what it's like to be betrayed."

"I think so. If it's true, things will be much more fun." Roland said. He naturally knew that the relationship between Eva and Zoe. However, Xanjer didn't let him tell Monica about this. Roland really disliked Eva. What if he sent photos of Eva and Zoe being together to Yale and let Yale misunderstand? Would the two mistresses fight against each other? "We'd better follow them and use their pictures to anger Yale."

"That's a good idea. Why don't we find someone to follow..."

"You two are really energetic." Monica interrupted Summer. "I only care about my son now."

"I knew you would say that." Summer curled her lips. "You're the only one who'd let someone else take your place as the mayor's daughter. If I were you, I wouldn't let the two b*tches live in the Jane family at

all."

"That's because you're a bystander." Monica sighed. "After knowing Zoe's cheating, I was extremely disappointed. When I was a child, he was a hero in my heart, so I couldn't accept it at all. If this happened to you, you might not be able to accept it."

Roland nodded. "You're right. We can't judge a book by its cover. Monica, don't you ever think about taking revenge on Yale and her daughter?"

It was difficult for ordinary people to forgive mistresses, but he did not see Monica do anything excessive to Yale and Madrigal. Did she not hate them at all?

"Why should I take revenge on them?" Monica retorted, "It's not entirely Yale's fault."

"Why not? If she hadn't seduced your father, your mother wouldn't have had an accident." Summer retorted.

"My mother's car accident, of course, is partly because of Zoe's derailment. But more importantly, it's an accident. She fell in love with the wrong man, which led to the tragedy. So I hate Zoe. If it weren't for him, this matter wouldn't have happened. My mother was too stupid. She lost her life for a man who was unworthy of her, and left her young daughter behind..." Monica was so sad that she couldn't continue. "If, I assume, if it was Yale who seduced your father, schemed against your mother, and separated your family, will you take revenge on her?" Roland asked tentatively.

"If your assumption is true, I will definitely avenge my mother!" Monica replied, "But I heard from my uncle that her death was an accident."

Roland didn't say anything more. He didn't know whether Hannah's death was an accident, but he was sure that it had something to do with Yale. Should he tell Monica about it? Since Monica was already so worried, he decided to tell her about it when he found enough evidence.

Roland was about to leave, and Summer volunteered to see him off. When they reached the door, she lowered her voice and asked, "Roland, what do you mean by that?"

"What did I say?" Roland asked.

"Your assumption. Did you find any evidence?" Monica was too worried about Coco to pay attention to what Roland said, but Summer was different. She felt that Roland had something to say, but she didn't

ask him in front of Monica.

"No. It's just an assumption." Of course, Roland would not tell Summer about this matter without evidence.

"I thought you had evidence." Summer was a little disappointed. "Yale used to be the best friend of Moni's mother, but she shamelessly seduced her best friend's husband. She's too hateful. The most annoying thing is that she even let her daughter seduce Moni's husband. I always want to avenge Moni. To be honest, what I just said is true. I really hope that Zoe has cheated on Yale."

Summer hated vicious and shameless people most. She had the same personality as Roland.

"I understand. It's just that we can't be anxious. We should pay more attention to this matter. I believe we can get what we want."

"So, are you going to investigate?" Summer became excited. She had always wanted to investigate Yale, but she was unable to do so. If Roland was willing to help her, things would be much easier.

"Yes." Roland nodded. "I won't investigate Zoe. After all, he is Moni's father and he won't hurt Monica, But Yale is different."

"Yes, I also think that we should investigate Yale. I want to tell you one thing. Last time, Moni and I went to dinner together. On the way, we saw Yale and a man holding hands in a car!"

"Really?" Roland asked with interest.

"I'm not sure. At that time, we were a little far from them, and the woman was wearing a hat and sunglasses, so Moni was not sure if she was Yale. Then, Moni called Lancy. Lancy said that Yale was not at home. She also said that as long as Zoe was busy, Yale would definitely go for a facial. It would take a long time for Yale to come back. This matter is really strange, so..."

"I see. I'll let you know what I find out!"
