Colton said coldly, "Don't worry about my private affairs."
Stephen awkwardly laughed and left.
Sonia's eyes flashed, her voice hoarse, "Colton, do you mind that Stephen and I once had a marriage contract?
Although I was forced by family pressure, I did betray you…"
"Don't think too much, I understand your difficulties."
Colton gently touched her face, "I originally wanted to surprise you today by visiting your mother together…
Now, I need to deal with Jennifer first.
Please say hello to your mother for me."
Sonia breathed a sigh of relief and spoke up for Jennifer, "Sonia, even though the villagers say that my sister killed her foster parents, the police found out that it was caused by the aging gas pipeline's explosion.
I believe she might have had her reasons.
After all, she has been with you for so long, could you please not be too hard on her?"
Colton expressionlessly stared into the void, "…Sonia I won't let anyone hurt you!"
After sending Sonia away, he thought about the anomaly in Jennifer's abdomen.
His voice suddenly turned cold, "Nelson, go check – is Jennifer pregnant?"
Nelson was stunned for a moment, his eyes widening in shock... … Jennifer had invested in many properties.
The single-family apartment in street 6 was located in the golden coastal area, every inch of land worth its weight in gold.
The surrounding facilities were complete, exuding an atmosphere of wealth.
In the room, John anxiously brought the surgery appointment form, "Jennifer, the surgery is arranged.
You…" "No need, I won't have the abortion surgery."
Jennifer crumpled the appointment form into a ball and threw it into the trash can, her eyes filled with unprecedented determination, "I'm going to keep this child, but I'll absolutely not let Colton know."
John felt a mix of joy and worry.
Not having the abortion was the best for Jennifer's current physical condition, but he was worried that she would become trapped by Colton, "Jennifer, you don't still harbor illusions about Colton, do you?
Today, the media photographed him visiting his future mother-in-law with Sonia and it blew up on the trending topics…"
"Shut up if you're not going to say anything useful.
This child is mine, and from now on, it has nothing to do with Colton."
Jennifer interrupted him and ordered, "But it seems he's become suspicious.
You find someone to mislead Nelson's investigation, and take care of the hospital where I had the checkup.
Absolutely no information can be leaked."
"Understood!
Jennifer, it's great that you've recognized the true face of that scumbag and pulled yourself together…"
John wanted to continue praising her, but he received a call from one of his men, "Mr. John, that woman is almost done for…" Jennifer's face darkened, "I'll go take a look."
Inside the emergency room, Mrs. Susan lay gasping on the operating table, her body covered in large patches of severe burns, making her look extremely ferocious.
More than half of her face was destroyed, leaving only one eye barely recognizable as her original appearance, like a fierce ghost.
"Jennifer, her injuries are too severe.
It's thanks to the traditional herbs that she's able to hold on until now…"
John said with a look of disgust on his face,
"There's not a single good person in this family.
It would be better to just throw her into a mass grave."
"She can't die."
Jennifer's expression was somber as she changed into surgical clothes and said determinedly, "She is the sharpest knife I have against Sonia."
The smell of blood in the operating room was so strong that Jennifer almost vomited, but looking at the unconscious woman, she pursed her lips and insisted on picking up the scalpel...
Standing outside the operating room, John sighed in his heart: Jennifer was just too stubborn and soft-hearted!
When dealing with Sonia, Jennifer had a thousand ways to make her suffer or die…
Even if that family was unkind to her, faced with a dying foster mother, Jennifer could never really be ruthless enough. …
"She's not pregnant?"
Colton listened to Nelson's investigation results, images of Jennifer protecting her belly still flickering through his mind.
He was doubtful, "She must be hiding something…"
"Mr. Redford, the medical team preparing for the conception of you, the Madame… and Miss Sonia were all recruited from abroad at great expense by your grandfather.
And with Doctor Peter as technical consultant, Miss Jennifer can't interfere."
Nelson couldn't understand his boss's persistence, advising, "Even if the team's tests are wrong and Jennifer is pregnant, after that explosion... I sent someone to investigate afterward.
It was already a miracle that Miss Jennifer survived, it would have been impossible to save the child as well."
Colton sank into contemplation: Had he really misunderstood?
At this moment, Sonia knocked on the door and entered, holding a cup of water, "Colton, it's time for you to take your medicine."
Nelson tactfully left the room, his attitude towards Sonia remained respectful but with a hint of distance.
Although Sonia was gentle and generous, even attentive to Colton, he still felt that Jennifer was easier to get along with for some reason.
"Did I interrupt your work?"
Sonia handed Colton the medicine and water, gently feeding it to his lips.
The medicines were well sorted and measured.
Ever since she moved into the villa, Sonia had personally taken care of Colton's daily life, gradually erasing all traces of Jennifer.
Colton took the medicine and water, and drank it without any trouble.
His tone was indifferent, "I'm just blind, not completely incapable of taking care of myself.
You don't have to do everything for me."
Sonia's eyes reddened, and she held his hand as she said with a mournful voice, "I won't let you talk about yourself like that...
Your eyes will get better.
I've been searching for the elusive, great doctor Marsha.
Though he is as rare as a dragon, his student doctor is quite famous.
They can definitely heal your eyes."
Colton gave a faint smile, "I appreciate your concern."
"I'm sorry.
It's all my fault I arrived so late.
If only I had rushed into the fire a bit earlier, or moved a bit faster..."
She hugged Colton, her tone filled with guilt, "Maybe your eyes wouldn't have been injured!"
"How can you blame yourself?"
Colton's fingers traced the scar three inches below the nape of her neck, lingering on it, "If it weren't for you risking your life to save me, there would be no Colton in this world.
Sonia, you gave me my life, and for the rest of it, whatever you want, I will give it to you wholeheartedly…"
Sonia's eyes sparkled as she said gently and shyly, "I don't want anything; I just want to be your wife, accompanying you as you regain your strength, helping you heal your eyes, and bearing children for you…"
Colton paused his fingers, "Once my recovery is successful, we'll get engaged."
He gently touched her burn scar, his tone becoming softer, "I'll take you to order your wedding dress the day after tomorrow."
"I didn't expect... that you'd secretly prepare so much."
Sonia was delighted, as their past affections turned out to be an unbeatable sword, striking down whatever stood in their way.
She hesitated for a moment and said apologetically, "However, my agent recently arranged a new film for me, it's Mr. Louis 'Sacrifice to the Rivers and Mountains.
' It's a masterpiece written by the famous screenwriter... I really want it to be my representative work as an actress, so I need to prepare well.
In case this delays the wedding dress order…" Colton laughed softly, "Since you like this play, I'll have Nelson take care of it."
Sonia shyly kissed him on the cheek,
"Colton, you're so good to me."
