Every Breath You Take

Chapter 138

Monica planned to move back to the Jane family. Quarmy called her at night and told her that Zoe was

sent to the hospital. He asked if she wanted to visit Zoe.

The day before this day, Monica saw the news on TV about Zoe's meeting in the province. Zoe looked

in high spirits at that time. Why was he suddenly sick?

Thinking of what happened last time, Monica guessed that something must have happened to Zoe, so

he chose to pretend to be sick again. Therefore, she did not take it to heart.

Not long after dinner, Lancy called Monica. She said that Zoe fainted and asked Monica to go to the

hospital.

When Monica arrived at the hospital, there were only Zoe and Lancy in the ward. She didn't see Yale

and Madrigal, so she felt a little strange. Shouldn't Yale and her daughter try their best to serve Zoe at

this time? Why were they absent?

Seeing her come in, Lancy stood up and pointed to Zoe, who was sleeping on the bed. "He hasn't

woken up yet."

Monica lowered her voice. "What happened?"

"I don't know." Two days ago, Zoe went out for a meeting in the province. When he went out, he said

that he would return after three days. This night, when Lancy was preparing dinner, Zoe's driver called

her and told her that Zoe was in the hospital. Lancy was asked to go to the hospital alone.

It meant that Zoe didn't want Yale and her daughter to know it. Zoe was not at home, so Yale would not

stay at home, either. Only Madrigal was still at home. Lancy made an excuse to come to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, she found that Zoe was in a coma. She was worried about him, so

she called Monica.

"Where is his driver?" Monica asked Lancy.

"He had been staying here before I let him go out for dinner."

"Why is he suddenly sick? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that Mayor Jane had high blood pressure, but he would be fine after staying in the

hospital for a few days."

As she spoke, the driver pushed the door open and walked in. The driver was a newcomer and did not

know Monica. When he saw a stranger in the ward, he was surprised. Lancy immediately told him

Monica's identity. Monica asked the driver, "What happened before he fainted?"

The driver shook his head. "I took Mayor Jane to a meeting in the province. According to the schedule,

we should have come back tomorrow, but we came back in advance. On the way home, his face

suddenly turned pale. He said that he felt uncomfortable and asked me to send him to the hospital.

After we arrived at the hospital, the doctor gave him a check- up and said that his blood pressure was

very high. The doctor asked him to stay in the hospital. I wanted to call Madam Jane, but Mayor Jane

stopped me. He let me call Lancy and asked me not to tell anyone else about this." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Monica glanced at Lancy. "Is his high blood pressure bad?"

Lancy nodded and said, "He's been taking medicine, but I'd never seen anything like this before."

Monica always thought that Zoe was in good health, but she was wrong. She was a little worried, so

she went to the doctor.

Not long after Monica left, Zoe woke up. Lancy was very happy. "Sir, you're awake! Do you feel better?"

Zoe nodded and struggled to sit up. The driver hurried forward to help him. Lancy asked Zoe with

concern, "What do you want to eat, Sir?"

Zoe looked at the driver and said, "Go get me some porridge." The driver nodded and left. After that,

Zoe looked at Lancy and asked, "Is she not at home today?"

Of course, he was asking about Yale. Lancy nodded and said, "She went out early in the morning. She

said that she would go shopping and get a facial. She didn't come back when I left."

Zoe's face was a little gloomy. "What clothes did she wear when she went out?"

Lancy told Zoe about Yale's clothes when she went out, "What's wrong, Sir?"

Zoe did not speak. On the way home, he inadvertently glanced out of the car and saw a man and a

woman kissing in a car parked by the road. The woman's figure was similar to Yale's. At that time, his

heart skipped a beat. He was so angry that he felt dizzy and breathless. If he hadn't fainted at that time,

he would have asked the driver to stop the car and see what was going on.

The woman he saw in the car looked like Yale, but the clothes she wore were different from what Lancy

said. Did he get the wrong person?

While Zoe was thinking, Lancy spoke again, "Moni came to see you. She was worried about you so

she went to the doctor."

"She's pregnant. Why did you tell her about this?" Zoe complained.

"I was scared when I saw you in a coma."

Monica came back with a doctor at this time. When she saw Zoe wake up, she looked relieved. The

doctor checked Zoe again and said that his situation was very stable now, so there was no need to

worry.

After the doctor left, the driver came back. Monica shook her head when she saw the porridge. "This is

seafood porridge. Mayor Jane is allergic to seafood. You'll have to buy something else."

"I'm sorry!" The driver was a newcomer so he didn't know this. "I'll buy something else now."

"Well, I'll go with you." Lancy said, "Moni, you stay here and chat with Mayor Jane. I'll be back soon."

Only Zoe and Monica were left in the ward. Zoe's eyes were a little wet. He never expected that Monica

would remember his seafood allergy.

Madrigal and Monica were both his daughter. Madrigal had lived with him for so many years and knew

that he was allergic to seafood, but she never cared about this.

Quarmy liked seafood, so Madrigal often asked Lancy to buy seafood. She tried her best to please

Quarmy, but she completely ignored her dad's feelings.

Although he felt uncomfortable, he still persuaded himself not to be angry. After all, young people rarely

thought about others. This day, he realized that he was wrong. "Moni, I'm wrong! I'm sorry"

Zoe had apologized to Monica countless times, but the apology at this moment was completely

different from what he had said before.

Monica also noticed his emotional change. She poured a glass of water for him. "You don't need to

apologize. In the past, I was too stubborn, but now I changed my mind. You gave me my life. For me,

it's the biggest gift. I have no right to ask you to do anything, and I'm not qualified to hate you."

Zoe felt even guiltier. "Moni, I really feel sorry for you and your mother. I hope I can make it up to you.

As for your mother, I only wish her to forgive me after I die."

Monica looked at Zoe and thought of Eva's words. She tried to calm herself down. "I want to ask you

one thing. Has my mother ever done anything wrong to you in her life?"

"No! Your mother is a good woman. After marrying me, she never did anything wrong to me. I betrayed

her." Zoe answered firmly.

Monica felt relieved. Her mother was not that kind of person. She was so stupid that she actually

suspected her mother because of that vicious woman Eva. She was really ashamed.

Lancy and the driver quickly came back. After having the porridge, Zoe found that it was getting late.

He was worried about Monica's health, so he asked her to go back to rest. Seeing that Zoe was fine,

Monica decided to leave. She told the driver to take care of Zoe before leaving. When she walked to

the door, Zoe suddenly asked, "Moni, the day after tomorrow is my birthday. Can you take Coco home

for dinner?"

Monica nodded. "I will."

Zoe was ready to be refused, so he was very happy after hearing that. Then he encouraged her to

move back to the Jane family. "Lancy has prepared a room for Coco. You can move back with Coco."

Monica did not object. "I'll consider it."

After Monica returned to Roland's villa, she told Francisco and Summer that she would go back to the

Jane family. Summer was still worried, so she told Quarmy about this and asked him to persuade

Monica. Quarmy was also anxious. Yale was so vicious. What if she wanted to hurt Monica? He

couldn't let Monica take the risk.

Quarmy came to Monica in the evening. "Moni, think about it again. Yale is too vicious. You have to

protect yourself and your unborn baby. We can't take such a risk."

"I know, I will be careful."

"No matter how careful you are, you can't completely avoid sudden accidents. We've waited for so

many years. Just let Yale go free for a few more months. When the baby is born and Coco has

recovered, we can take revenge." Quarmy persuaded. "After all, so many years have passed. With

Yale's cunningness, she must be very wary of you. It's not easy for you to get evidence from her. You

can leave this matter to me. I'm investigating Yale and Eva. Be patient, the truth will soon be revealed!"

Seeing Quarmy so worried, Monica had to make a concession. "Well, I won't move back to the Jane

family for now. We'll talk about it when you get the results of your investigation. But tomorrow is Zoe's

birthday, and I have promised him to bring Coco back for dinner."

"Since you have promised him, you can go back. Remember to be careful." Quarmy reminded again.

This was the first time that Monica had attended Zoe's birthday party since she left the Jane family. Zoe

was really happy. Although it was his birthday, he asked Lancy to prepare the food Monica liked. He

also personally picked Monica and Coco up.

Seeing Monica and Coco come back for Zoe's birthday, Yale and Madrigal were shocked. They looked

at each other. Didn't Eva say that Monica would leave Jiang City soon? But the situation now was

completely different from what Eva said. It seemed that they had to ask Eva what was going on.

The mother and daughter tried their best to simile at Monica and Coco. Yale praised Coco. "Coco looks

so cute. He must be a handsome guy when he grows up!"

Madrigal also praised Coco. Coco asked Monica, "Mom, who are they?" Monica pointed to Yale and

Madrigal. "This is Madam Jane, and this is Madam Jane's daughter. You can call her Miss Jane."

Coco nodded. "Hello, Madam Jane, Miss Jane!"

It made Yale and her daughter really speechless. Seeing Madrigal's big belly, Coco was very surprised.

"Mom, Miss Jane's belly is bigger than yours."

"Yeah, because Miss Jane is pregnant with twins." Monica smiled.

Yale and Madrigal thought that Monica would be angry when she saw Madrigal's belly, but they were

wrong. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with Monica.

Zoe was also worried that Monica would say something unpleasant when she saw Madrigal's belly, but

Monica's reaction made him relieved. He took Coco's hand and said, "Let's go upstairs to your room."

Coco was taken upstairs by Zoe, and Monica followed them. Seeing Zoe and Lancy's affection for

Monica and Coco, Yale and Madrigal felt really unhappy.

Madrigal lowered her voice and asked Yale, "Mom, why is she so calm?"

"How would I know?" Yale was unhappy. "Don't make trouble tonight. I don't think this matter is that

simple. Monica is not a pushover. We have to be careful."

Yale and her daughter had never been at ease. They were afraid that Monica would suddenly make

things difficult for them. As a result, they thought too much. It was a happy dinner. After dinner, Monica

even kindly gave Madrigal some advice for pregnant women.

The more Monica behaved like this, the more anxious Yale and her daughter became. In the evening,

Coco and Monica lived in the Jane family. Coco refused to sleep alone, so Monica and him slept in the

same bedroom.

Seeing Monica coming into the bedroom with Coco, Madrigal also went back to her bedroom. After a

while, Yale sent her a glass of milk and closed the door. Madrigal lowered her voice and said, "Mom,

why do I feel that Monica is abnormal?"

"I think so, too. She has never been nice to you. Why did she kindly say those words to you? If she was

fierce to us, I would feel better. The kinder she is, the more uneasy I am. I am worried that she would

do something to you babies."

"Will she?" Madrigal was shocked.

"It's possible. You can't get pregnant again. What if she really wants to hurt your babies? We have to

find a way to deal with it."

"How?" Madrigal knew that Yale was telling the truth. If she lost her babies, she would lose everything.

She had to be on guard against Monica.

"You can stay outside for a few days and come back after she leaves." Yale didn't have any good

ideas.

Madrigal was also afraid, so she agreed.

This night, Yale couldn't fall asleep. She kept guessing Monica's intention. She didn't fall asleep until

late in the night. Yale had a dream. She dreamed of what happened on the road outside the tea room

that day. Hannah was covered in blood. She stood at the door of the tea room and watched Hannah

struggle in pain. As Hannah bled out, she got happier and happier.

The happiness lasted for a few seconds. Hannah, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up

and rushed straight at her. She yelled, "Yale, I'll kill you!" Yale was scared out of her wits. She wanted

to run, but she couldn't move at all.

When the bloody hands were about to pinch her neck, Yale suddenly opened her eyes. She was so

scared that she sat up. She felt that her back was full of cold sweat. Zoe was awakened by her

movements. He muttered, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm thirsty. I want to get some water." Yale got up gently after saying that. She didn't want to

drink water, but her heart beat too fast. She was afraid that Zoe would notice her abnormality, so she

said so.

After pouring a glass of water, Yale sat down and drank it up. She felt a little calmer. She had had many

dreams like this since Hannah died. However, she usually had them a few days before or after the

anniversary of Hannah's death. She shouldn't have dreamed of Hannah at this time. What happened to

her? Why did she dream of Hannah this night?

She was a little uneasy. She was an atheists, but she always felt uneasy this day. She had been in a

panic all the time. Was something going to happen?

She recalled the scene of Hannah's death. That day, she asked Hannah out. When Hannah arrived at

the tea room, she smiled and said, "Yale, didn't I tell you to go straight to my house? Why don't you

go?"

Looking at Hannah's smiling face, Yale said coldly, "I can't talk about this at your home!"

"What happened?"

Yale opened her bag and took out a photo from it. She handed it to Hannah and said, "Look!"

Hannah took the photo and glanced at it. Then she gave it back to her. "Who is she? She's pretty!"

"Do you think this child looks familiar?" Yale asked coldly.

"Familiar?" Hannah took back the photo and looked at it. "Yes. Who is the child?"

"Don't you think that she looks like your husband?" Yale sneered.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hannah was stunned.

"I'm not talking nonsense. This is indeed the child of your husband and another woman!" When Yale

said this, Hannah's face suddenly changed. She picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. The

more she looked at it, the gloomier her face became. Looking at Hannah's pale face, Yale felt really

happy. "Don't you want to know who her mother is?"

"Who is it?" Hannah put down the photo and asked in a trembling voice.

"Me!" Yale sneered. Hannah's face changed and she looked at Yale in horror. "Impossible! Impossible!"

"Why is it impossible? Would I lie about something like that?" Yale looked at Hannah's pale face. "Do

you remember that Zoe went to Jiang City for a business trip a few years ago? As his wife, you should

have found that one of his underwear was missing. That underwear is still at my house."

Hannah remembered this matter. She had always packed Zoe's luggage herself. When he came back

from that business trip, she found that one of his underwear was missing. At that time, she felt strange

so she asked him why. He looked a little unnatural. He said he had lost it. It turned out that his

underwear was left in her best friend's house. Hannah looked at Yale angrily. "Yale, I have always

regarded you as my best friend. Why did you do this to me? Why?"

In the face of Hannah's question, Yale sneered and said, "You should ask your husband about this

question. Can I refuse him if he wants to have sex with me?"

"I didn't expect you to be such a shameless person. I was really blind before. Yale, from now on, we are

strangers!" Hannah looked at Yale with disdain. She was not as mad as Yale thought. She got up and

was about to leave.

Seeing that, Yale stopped her. "Wait a minute, I have one more thing to tell you!"

Hannah ignored her and walked away. Yale stopped her. "In fact, I'm not the only lover of Zoe. He has

many lovers and illegitimate children."

"Get the hell out of my way!"

"You don't believe me? I will convince you." Yale sneered. Regardless of Hannah's disgust, she

whispered softly in her ear. Hearing what she said, Hannah looked desperate. "Nonsense!"

"You can go check it. You robbed her man. She hates you so much that she can do anything to you."

Yale coldly reminded her, "I forgot to tell you that her child and my child were born in the same way."

"Why? Why did you do this to me?" This matter was a great blow to Hannah. Her eyes became dull.

Suddenly, she raised her hand and gave Yale a hard slap. Then, she covered her face and stumbled

away.

Not long after, Hannah, who was in a slouch, was knocked down by a truck on the side of the road.

Yale witnessed the whole thing. Blood was all over the ground, and Hannah was struggling in her

blood...

It was night, so the house was very quiet. This memory made Yale feel scared. She did not dare to stay

here any longer, so she got up and went upstairs. When she reached the corner of the stairs, she saw

a white figure with disheveled hair in front of her. She could not help but scream.

The scream in the middle of the night was so sharp and loud that all the people in the villa were

awakened. Zoe, Madrigal, and Lancy rubbed their eyes and walked out of their bedrooms.

"What happened?" Looking at Yale, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, and Monica, who was

about to go downstairs, Zoe frowned and asked.

"I don't know either." Monica spread out her hands innocently. "I'm thirsty, so I went downstairs to get

some water. When I walked to the stairs, Madam Jane came up and suddenly shouted. I don't know if

she is possessed."

Yale covered her chest. She quickly reacted. "I just seemed to see a black cat with a pair of green

eyes. I'm afraid of cats!"

"What a big fuss. What's there to be afraid of a cat?" Zoe frowned. "There's no cat in the villa. How

would you see a cat?"

"There must be something wrong with her eyes." Madrigal immediately spoke for her mother.

Monica didn't say anything. She saw what happened just now clearly. Yale suddenly screamed when

she looked up and saw her. What was Yale afraid of?
