Every Breath You Take

Chapter 118

Yale accompanied Madrigal to stay in the hospital until dawn. When Yale went to the parking lot, she

was dumbfounded. Her car window was cut open and her bag disappeared. Yale was too angry to

speak. She immediately came to the security guard of the hospital.

The security guard checked the monitor and found that it was done by a person wearing a military coat.

This incident also alarmed the dean. He did not dare to offend Yale, Mayor Jane's wife, so he

personally took the car to be repaired and proposed to compensate Yale.

Yale was very angry at first, but then she thought she couldn't make a big thing out of it. Zoe didn't

know that she and her daughter came to the hospital for an operation. He thought that they were going

on a vacation. If Zoe knew the truth, they would definitely be in trouble.

Therefore, Yale accepted the compensation and asked the dean to keep it a secret. After such a thing

happened, Yale and Madrigal felt unhappy. Yale's car was broken, so they took a taxi to the hotel and

planned to stay in the hotel for two days before returning home.

Mary stayed in the intensive care unit for two days and finally woke up. A nurse called Leon excitedly

and told him that she had woken up.

Leon rushed to the hospital. A Chinese doctor was talking to Mary on the bed. "Are you all right? If you

can hear me, please blink." Mary blinked.

"Do you think it's hard for you to breathe? If you feel better, please blink." Mary blinked again.

"She seems to be really cured." A nurse whispered.

"Now, you can help her take off her oxygen mask." The doctor ordered the nurse.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" This was the first thing Mary said. Although it was not loud,

it was very clear.

"We are doctors. You are in the hospital. You had an accident and we're treating you." The doctor

explained.

"An accident? Why can't I remember anything?"

"Look, it was him who sent you here." The doctor pointed to Leon next to him.

"You sent me here?" Mary looked at Leon, and Leon nodded. "Then, you must know who I am. Can

you tell me who I am?" She looked at Leon expectantly.

Wait, Leon was stunned. She didn't know who she was. What was going on? How could she forget

herself? How could such a thing happen?

"Don't worry." The doctor comforted her. "Think about it carefully. Maybe it'll come back to you."

"I can't think of anything, and my head hurts. My whole body is in pain!"

"That's because you're injured. Have a good rest. You'll recall everything when you're well." The doctor

quietly pulled Leon's clothes and pouted at the door. Leon followed him out suspiciously.

"Is she okay?" Leon asked impatiently as he followed the doctor back to the office.

"Her life is no longer in danger, but it will take some time for her to recover."

"Why can't she remember who she is? Did she hit her head?"

"Pretty much! Judging from her injuries, I guess she must have lost her memory." The doctor invited

Leon to sit down.

"Lost her memory?"

"Yes, the car accident injured her brain. Memories are stored in the cerebral cortex. Once a person's

brain gets hurt, there will be a phenomenon of losing memory. Those who are slightly injured will

temporarily lose some of their memories, while those who are seriously injured will lose their memories

forever."

"Then what kind of situation does she belong to now?"

"Well, it's a miracle that she survived from such a heavy blow..."

"Do you mean that she may lose her memory forever?"

"I'm not very sure. But her current situation is not optimistic. At present, we can only wait for her to

recover."

After talking with the doctor, Leon went to see Mary. He stood outside the door and watched the nurse

feeding Mary. This girl looked so helpless and pitiful. He couldn't help feeling sad. If her relatives knew

that she had become like this, they would be very sad! Jenny refused to go back. Quarmy had no

choice but to ask her not to disturb Monica and Coco. Jenny agreed, but she couldn't control herself.

When she knew which hospital Coco was in, she went there secretly.

Monica was in the ward, so Jenny naturally had no way to go in. She could only stand outside the door

and watched Monica and Leon chatting with Coco. The three of them looked happy, which made her

very uncomfortable. Her son said Monica was going to marry Leon, which made her relieved. But how

could she get Coco?

Monica certainly would not compromise. With Leon's help, Jenny would not have much chance to get

the right to raise Coco. The key was that Monica was pregnant again. Jenny didn't want Monica to

bring the two children of the Huo family to the Gu family.

After returning to the hotel, Jenny still felt uncomfortable. At this time, Mandy appeared.

Seeing Mandy, Jenny looked more unpleasant. She was a vengeful person and she did not forget what

Mandy had said to her in the Gu family that day. But Mandy was obviously much tactful than her. With a

smile on her face, Mandy sat down without invitation. "I'm here to help you."

"How can you be so kind?" Jenny snorted.

"Could you please listen to me first before making a conclusion?" Mandy ignored Jenny's hostility. "I

hate Monica, too."

"What do you mean?"

"Monica seduced not only my brother Leon, but also my fiance. Do you think I will like her?"

This was true. Jenny finally felt that she had found an ally. "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Of course. But I need your cooperation." Mandy smiled coldly. "You let Quarmy warn Monica that if she

marries my brother, he will fight for custody of Coco. It not, he won't."

"Is this a good idea?" Jenny sneered. "Miss Gu, I've thought of this method. It's useless. Quarmy won't

push Monica."

"Quarmy doesn't want to lose face. Why don't you help him?" Mandy reminded her. "You go to warn her

on behalf of Quarmy. If it doesn't work, I still have a way out."

"What way?"

Mandy whispered a few words into Jenny's ear. Jenny's face suddenly changed. "No! I can't do this! My

grandson is sick. This will hurt him."

"When did you become so timid? I didn't ask you to harm him. I'm just helping you." Mandy looked

down on Jenny. "You hire a few doctors first. What are you afraid of with doctors?"

Jenny was still hesitant.

"This is our last resort. You can talk to Monica first. If she agrees, you don't need to do that. On the

contrary, you can do what I tell you to do." Seeing Jenny's hesitation, Mandy sneered. "You have to

think about it. You don't have too much time. If Monica marries my brother, it will be too late for you to

do anything. This is the United States. In that case, the child would definitely be raised by the mother."

Jenny thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to Monica first."

Jenny had an appointment with Monica. Monica looked at her with a cold face. "What's the matter?"

"I want to talk to you." Jenny was still as arrogant as before. "I have discussed with Quarmy. We can

give up fighting for COCO's custody, but I have a condition."

"What condition?" Monica asked with a sneer.

"You can't marry Leon."

"Madam Huo, what right do you have to say this to me?!" Monica sneered. No wonder Quarmy was so

calm. It turned out that he had already thought of a plan. "I'm telling you, Coco was born after I divorced

Quarmy. You didn't do anything for his growth. You have no right to ask me to do so!"

"You didn't give us the chance to take care of him. Monica, if I had known you were pregnant, I wouldn't

have forced Quarmy to divorce you..."

"It's no use saying this now. You can't be so mean, Madam Huo. As I said before, there are countless

women who want to have children for Quarmy. You don't need Coco, but I'm different. Coco is

everything to me. I won't let anyone take him away."

"If Quarmy were willing to have children with other women, would I come to you?" Jenny thought to

herself. If Quarmy had been willing to listen to her, she would have had a grandson, instead of living so

lonely.

However, it was impossible for her to say this to Monica. If Monica knew that, the situation would be

worse. She would definitely try her best to torture Quarmy. "Monica, I'm not here to discuss with you. I

want to inform you that if you marry Leon, I and Quarmy will not sit by and do nothing. We will take

Coco back, because neither I nor Quarmy will let Coco call another man Dad."

"Then let's wait and see!" Monica sneered and got up. She hated threatening the most in her life. It was

undoubtedly impossible for her to be threatened by Quarmy and Jenny!

When she returned to the hospital, she saw Quarmy playing with Coco in the ward. Coco looked very

happy. Seeing Monica come in, Coco couldn't help but be excited. "Mom, Mom, Uncle Huo said that he

would accompany to the park after I left the hospital. Can you go with me?"

"Okay." Monica didn't want her son to be unhappy, so she agreed.

"Uncle Huo also said that he would give me a aircraft carrier toy that can spray water. I will be able to

play it in the swimming pool." Monica glanced at Quarmy calmly. Quarmy wanted to please Coco, but

she would not let him succeed. "Did you forget what Mom said to you? Mom will buy you toys. You

can't accept strangers' gifts casually."

"But Uncle Huo said that the toy was limited-edition and couldn't be bought by ordinary people."

"If I can't buy it, I can ask Uncle Gu to buy it. Uncle Gu is not an ordinary person."

"Yes, Uncle Gu is a big president, of course he is not an ordinary person." Coco's eyes lit up. "Uncle

Huo, I don't want your aircraft carrier toy anymore. My mother said I couldn't accept stranger's gifts, so

I'm sorry."

The smile on Quarmy's face disappeared, and his eyes became dim. Monica completely refused his

kindness!

Monica had just been pissed off by Jenny. When she saw Quarmy, she was annoyed. If it weren't for

Coco, she would have driven him away a long time ago. For Coco's sake, she tried her best to

suppress her anger. Finally, Coco fell asleep. She said coldly to Quarmy. "Mr. Fluo, please don't come

here again, okay?"

"Why? Didn't you promise to let me stay with Coco until he got better?"

"That was before. The situation is different now." Monica looked at Quarmy coldly. "Leon and I will get

married soon. Coco also regards Leon as his father. It's not appropriate for you to be here!"

"Are you afraid that I will hinder you?" There was sadness in Quarmy's eyes. "Monica, you said that

you wouldn't stop me from getting close Coco. Why don't you keep your word?"

"I don't have to keep my word to a man like you." Monica was not polite at all. "Quarmy, I know what

you are up to, but I tell you, I will never compromise. Whatever you want to do, do it!"

Quarmy was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. "Did my mother say

something to you?"

Monica sneered. "Don't act. Quarmy, you are a man, you should take responsibility. Don't push all the

blame on your mother like a child." Quarmy's face turned pale and he left the hospital without saying a

word. He had to ask his mother what she really wanted to do. In the face of his aggressive questioning,

Jenny answered calmly, "Son, I did it for you. Monica is going to marry Leon soon. I just want to stop

her."

Quarmy had nothing to say to his mother. He called Noah. "Send a private jet to pick Madam up

immediately!"

"I won't leave!" Jenny panicked.

Quarmy didn't care. "Mom, you have to leave. It's not up for discussion!"

Jenny sat down dejectedly. It seemed that she had no choice but to go back this time. It was all

Mandy's bad idea that caused her to fall into such a situation. She called Mandy aggressively and

scolded her, but Mandy was not angry. "Congratulations, Madam Huo. You're about to get what you

want!"

"What are you talking about? Don't be sarcastic!"

"Have you forgotten the second idea I told you that day? Isn't this the best chance?" As soon as Mandy

said it, Jenny's eyes lit up, and her anger suddenly disappeared. It was indeed a perfect opportunity for

her!

Coco stayed in the hospital for another day. The next day, Monica took him out of the hospital. It was

happened to be Coco's birthday. Leon held a small birthday party for Coco at home. In order to make

Coco happy, Leon invited many children nearby. After staying in the hospital for so many days, Coco

was really happy to receive so many gifts and play with so many people. In the blessing, he blew out

the candles with Monica and Leon. Coco put his palms together and began to make a wish.

After that, Leon asked him curiously, "What wish have you made?"

Coco whispered a few words into Leon's ear, and Leon happily kissed his little face a few times. Old

Mrs. Gu and Monica were very curious, "Coco, what wish have you made?"

"If I tell you, it won't come true." Coco refused to tell them..

"You have already told Uncle Gu, why can't you tell Mom?" Monica was jealous.

"Well, I tell you. My wish is to let Uncle Gu become my father immediately." Coco answered in a

childish tone.

Quarmy appeared at the door with the gift in his hand. He came to the Gu Family in the evening to see

Coco and knew that this day was Coco's birthday. Therefore, he immediately went to choose a birthday

present for Coco and came back without stopping. When he came back, he saw Coco making a wish.

He was also very curious about what his son wanted. But when he heard what Coco said, his smile

disappeared immediately.

Mandy saw Quarmy at the door, and a sneer appeared on her face. "Coco, since you like Uncle Gu so

much, why don't you call him Dad?"

"No, I can't call him dad now. I have made a mistake before." Coco was talking about Roland.

Previously, he liked Uncle Gu, but Uncle Wang wanted to be his father. He thought Uncle Wang was a

good person, so he agreed. But in the end, Uncle Wange didn't want him and his mother anymore. "I NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

can only call him Dad after he and my mother get married!"

Then, Coco looked at Monica expectantly. "Mom, when will you marry Uncle Gu?"

Monica subconsciously glanced at Leon. When she met Leon's starry eyes, she lowered her head.

Coco looked at her earnestly. "Mom, I really want a father. Please marry Uncle Gu immediately so that I

can call him Dad!"

Hearing that, Monica felt a pain in her heart. Her son was too poor. A smile appeared on her face.

"Mom will marry Uncle Gu tomorrow!"

"Great! I finally have a father!" Coco was so excited that he kissed Monica a few times and then went to

kiss Leon. Old Mrs. Gu also smiled when she saw Coco so happy. "Tomorrow, you two go to register

first. I'll have the wedding arranged right away. I will definitely give you a grand wedding!"

"Grandma, you don't have to do that." Monica was embarrassed.

"Of course I do. How can the marriage of the first young master of the Gu family not be grand? I will

invite all the celebrities!" Hearing that, a sneer appeared Mandy's face, but it disappeared in a flash.

She picked up the wine glass and said, "Congratulations, Brother! Congratulations, Monica! I wish you

a happy life!"

Mandy's change surprised Monica. Didn't Mandy hate her to be with Leon? Monica picked up her glass

and accepted Mandy's blessing with Leon. "Mom, I'll be your flower boy!" Coco interrupted with great

joy.

"Okay!" Leon smiled and looked at Monica with his eyes as gentle as water.

Quarmy stood at the door in a daze and looked at everything in front of him. When he heard people

congratulating Monica and Leon, he felt helpless. For Monica and Coco, Leon was their family, while he

was just an outsider. No matter what he did, he could not change Monica's mind. He could not stay any

longer. He gently put the toy in his hand on the ground and turned around to leave the Gu family.

He didn't know where to go. He walked aimlessly on the street. After a long time, he finally felt tired. He

sat down on the side of the road, and a few couples snuggled past him. They smiled happily and

sweetly. He used to have such a sweet girl, but why did he lose her?

A coquettish voice echoed in his ears. "Quarmy, I love you. It will never change!" He still remembered

the vow, what about her? Sitting on the street of the alien land and looking at the streetlight, Quarmy

started to cry. As a successful president, he actually couldn't stop his tears.

According to Quarmy's instructions, Noah immediately sent a private jet to pick up Jenny. He was

worried so he also came to the United States. When he arrived, he couldn't find Quarmy anywhere, nor

could he get through to him. Noah was anxious. What happened to Mr. Huo?

He didn't know where to find Quarmy, so he went to the Gu family. Coco's birthday party was over.

Monica took Coco upstairs to rest. The servants were cleaning. A servant brought the aircraft carrier

toy at the door to Coco, which made Coco very happy. "What a beautiful toy! Who gave it to me?"

Monica was stunned. That day, Quarmy said that he would send Coco an aircraft carrier toy. Was it

bought by him? But why didn't he come in? Did he hear that Leon and she were going to get married

tomorrow?

Coco didn't know what Monica was thinking. He held the aircraft carrier toy happily and said, "Uncle

Huo said he would give me such a toy, but he didn't come today." Coco was a little disappointed.

Monica came to her senses and touched his head. "This is the gift from Uncle Huo."

"Where is he? Why didn't he appear? I haven't thanked him yet." Coco pouted his mouth. He still liked

Quarmy.

"You can thank him later." Monica stroked Coco's head. Leon came in. "Just now, Noah came here. He

said that he couldn't find Quarmy anywhere. I'll accompany him to look for Quarmy."

Monica paused for a moment and then said coldly, "He's an adult. He can't be missing. Leave him

alone."

"This place is not as peaceful as China. Quarmy is not familiar with this place. What if something bad

happens? I'd better go and look for him."

Although Monica said so, she felt very uneasy. "Fine. Call me if there is any news."

Leon agreed and left. After Coco fell asleep, Monica went to the gate of the Gu family and waited

uneasily. She checked her phone every few minutes. Why didn't Leon call her? Would anything happen

to Quarmy?

While she was worrying, her phone rang. "Leon, have you found him?"

"I'm not Leon!" Quarmy said in a low voice.

"It's you. Where are you? Your assistant, Noah, is looking for you..."

"Monica, I want to ask you." Quarmy interrupted her. "Can you not marry Leon?"

After a moment of silence, Monica answered, "No!"

"Can't you really forgive me? Just once?"

Monica did not speak. Could she forgive Quarmy? In the past, she hated him and thought he was

unforgivable. But when she knew the truth, her hatred for him was reduced. She once thought about

being with him for the sake of their children. But with Jenny around, she didn't believe that they would

be happy. She controlled herself. "I'm not a fool. I won't make the same mistake?"

"Mistake? Heh!" Quarmy smiled sadly. "Monica, I've never forgotten my promise to you. Do you know?"

So what? It was a thing of the past! Monica wiped her tears and tried to keep calm. "Quarmy, I'm

already thirty years old. I'm no longer a girl who loves to dream. You know what? I've already forgotten

your promise!"

This meant that she didn't care about his vow at all. Quarmy looked up at the sky, and his heart was

bitter to the extreme. "Monica, I really want to decently wish you happiness, but I can't do it. Anyway, I

am already extremely mean and shameless in your heart, so let me hope that you and Leon won't be

happy, because only I can make you happy!"

Hearing that, Monica was not angry at all. "Quarmy, I don't need your bless. Go back to the hotel as

soon as possible. Your assistant is looking for you. He is very anxious. You'd better call him or tell me

where you are. I'll ask him to pick you up."

Quarmy felt really desperate after hearing that. Why wasn't she angry? She really didn't care about him

at all. He reached out to wipe his tears. "I'll go back right away!"

The call ended abruptly!

Monica held the phone and stood in the living room in a daze. Nine years ago, Quarmy stood in front of

her and firmly asked her to marry him. "Only by marrying me will you be happy." But now, he said, "You

and Leon won't be happy, because only I can make you happy!"

How ironic! "Quarmy, my happiness is not in your hands. I will let you know how happy I am without

you!"

Leon came back soon. He said that Quarmy had returned to the hotel. Monica was relieved.

The next morning, Leon and Monica drove to the marriage registry office. Because of Leon's identity,

they did not have to wait in line like ordinary people.

A staff member said that all the procedures could be completed immediately. He gave them a form and

asked them to fill it out. This was the application for a marriage license in the United States. The staff

member reminded Leon that they needed a witness, so Leon called Old Mrs. Gu.

After the form was completed, they were about to get the wedding certificate. They needed to perform

a ritual first. They should make vows in front of the priest, exchange the wedding rings, and then sign

the marriage certificate.

Monica and Leon were brought into a small room. The ritual was presided over by a priest. He asked

Monica whether she knew English or not. If she didn't, he would get a priest who knew Chinese for her.

Monica said yes. Then the ritual began. The priest asked Monica and Leon to repeat what he said.

Halfway through the oath, the butler called Leon. "Young Master, bad news. Coco is missing!"

Monica and Leon were shocked. They said sorry to the staff and ran out. They anxiously rushed to Gu

Residence. The butler was at the door. Leon asked, "What's going on?"

"Young Master, I'm sorry! It's my fault. Coco was having fun in the room, so I went to make tea. When I

came out, Coco disappeared. I couldn't find him anywhere, so I called you."

"Check the monitor!" Leon immediately ordered. The monitor showed that when the butler went to

make tea, Coco went to the living room to pick up the phone. No one knew who he was talking with.

After the phone call, he went out of Gu Residence alone. A car was parked at the gate. Seeing Coco, a

man jumped out of the car and quickly carried Coco to his car and left.

Who was he? Why did he take Coco away? Leon and Monica looked at each other. "Quarmy? It must

be him! Go and find him now!"

Leon took Monica to the hotel where Quarmy lived in a hurry. The receptionist said that Quarmy was in

his room. Leon and Monica went straight to Quarmy's room. After knocking a long time, the door was

opened, and a pungent smell of alcohol came to their nostrils.

Quarmy staggered to hold the door and asked without looking up, "What's up?"

Monica frowned. "Quarmy, where is my son?"

Quarmy looked at her. "It's you? Am I dreaming?"

Then he saw Leon standing behind Monica and laughed. "I said I wouldn't bless you guys. What are

you doing here?"

"Quarmy Huo, did you get someone to take my son away?" Monica was angry.

"Isn't your son my son?" Quarmy was confused. "Why would I take my son away?"

"Stop acting. Give my son back to me, or I won't let you go!"

"Let me go?" Quarmy reached out to hold Monica's shoulder. "Monica, you almost killed me! Do you

know how painful I am? I'd rather die!"

"Get out!" Monica stretched out her hand to push him. Quarmy stood unsteadily and fell down. His

head hit the floor heavily. His forehead was broken and bleeding. However, he did not feel any pain. He

just looked at Monica blankly. There was pity, sadness and grievance in his eyes... Monica was

stunned, and she suddenly couldn't bear to scold Leon, who was behind her, interrupted, "Quarmy,

don't hurt the child. Coco is sick. What if something bad happens to him?"

"Leon, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't want to see you. Get out of here right now!"

Quarmy couldn't vent his anger on Monica, but he could be impolite to Leon. Leon took away his wife.

If it weren't for Leon, he and Monica would have a happy life.

Hearing this, Leon's face suddenly changed and he said rudely, "Quarmy, if you are a man, don't hurt

the child."

"What happened?" Noah came back from the outside and was shocked when he saw Quarmy lying on

the ground.

He reached out to help Quarmy up and looked at Monica and Leon unfriendly. "Mr. Gu, what are you

doing? Don't you think you're going too far?"

"What do you know? Quarmy took my son away. I'm here to find my son." Monica was angry.

"Miss Mo, did you make a mistake? Mr. Huo has never left the hotel since he came back last night.

How could he take your son away?"

"Either him or his mother did it." Monica was sure.

"It's impossible! I just sent Madam back home, and I didn't see the child." After saying that, Noah

suddenly remembered something and his face changed.

This day, Noah sent Jenny to board the plane. Noah had been worried that Jenny would not return

home obediently. Quarmy asked him to forcefully send Jenny back. However, Jenny was Quarmy's

mother. If he really did that, the relationship between the mother and son would definitely deteriorate.

Quarmy had been in his room the whole night. In the morning, Noah knocked at Quarmy's door, but

Quarmy ignored him. Noah knew that Quarmy felt sad because Monica and Leon were going to get

married, so he didn't disturb him and went straight to Jenny's room.

He was worried that Jenny would not leave, but in fact, Jenny didn't make things difficult for him. Jenny

just said that she wanted to go back with her friends.

Noah naturally agreed. He sent Jenny to the place where the private plane was parked. Jenny's friends

had not arrived yet. After waiting for a long time, he saw a car coming over. Two strange men took a

child out of the car. The child slept very well and he was covered with a coat. Jenny greeted the two

men enthusiastically and inviting them to board the plane. Noah was still confused. He had been with

Quarmy for a long time. How could he not know that Jenny knew these two men?

However, he couldn't care so much. As long as Jenny was willing to go back, his mission was

completed. After the two men took the child on the plane, Jenny immediately got on the plane and

urged Noah to go back with her.

Noah decided to stay here because he was worried about Quarmy. After hearing what Monica said, he

suddenly remembered the child in the arms of two men. Was the child Coco? Just as Noah was in a

daze, Mandy rushed over. "Brother, I just received a phone call from Madam Huo. She asked me to tell

you that she brought Coco back to China!"

"What did you say?" Leon raised his voice. "When did this happen?"

"When I received her call, I came over immediately. I thought she was joking."

Mandy looked at theses anxious people. "She said that there were doctors in her private plane. Don't

worry..."

"B*stard! How can I not worry?" Leon was so angry that he swore. Then he looked at Quarmy. "Mr.

Huo, you are really good at acting!"

Monica looked at Quarmy. Originally, she had a hint of sympathy for him because of his injury. But now,

her heart became cold again. "I have to go back to China immediately. No one can take my son away

from me!"
