Every Breath You Take

Chapter 135

Quarmy made an appointment with Xanjer. He asked directly, "I want to ask you something. Please tell

me the truth."

Hearing that, Xanjer knew that Quarmy must have known his identity. He said calmly, "What do you

want to know?"

"I have a lot of questions. First of all, I want to know why you pretended to be Xanjer." Quarmy did not

beat around the bush. "Second, I want to know something about Eva."

"In fact, I didn't mean to pretend to be Xanjer." Francisco sighed and told Quarmy the paintings thing.

"Back then, Xanjer died in an accident. I was disheartened and returned to Jiang City. Monica's mother

took me in. At that time, I survived as Xanjer in order to avoid troubles."

"Do Zoe and Yale know that you are actually a famous designer?" Quarmy asked again.

Francisco shook his head. "Few people know it. Zoe and Yale only know that Eva and I are brother and

sister."

"I think Zoe should know your real identity, because the paintings you lost are now in my hands."

"Why are those paintings in your hands?" Francisco was surprised.

"Zoe gave them to me." Quarmy told him the whole story. Francisco smiled bitterly and said, "It's really

him! At that time, Moni told me that Zoe had collected valuable ancient paintings. I suspected that Zoe

was the one who stole my paintings, but I was not completely sure."

"Every one's faults are not written in their foreheads. It's really unimaginable that a mayor would do

such a thing! I really feel sorry for you." Quarmy sighed. It was really pitiful for a genius designer to be

so miserable.

"It's all over. Fame and wealth are not important to me. Over the years, I have lived in seclusion in

Jiang City. Although my life is hard, I am very happy.." Francisco was not as angry as Quarmy thought.

"I really admire your attitude." Quarmy said it from the bottom of his heart. Francisco had turned from a

famous designer to an ordinary person. Whether the change of identity or life was a kind of torture to

him. It was really surprising that he had become so magnanimous.

Francisco smiled faintly. "Moni doesn't know that I'm not her uncle, so I hope you won't tell her. I don't

want to affect her mood."

"Don't worry, I won't." Quarmy promised. Fie knew how much Francisco loved Monica. For Monica,

Francisco was her uncle. Fie didn't want to affect their relationship. "You must know your sister Eva

very well. What kind of person do you think she is?"

Francisco was silent for a while and then answered, "She is selfish and evil."

"Monica should have told you about my mother's injury. I suspect that it's related to Eva." Thinking of

unconscious Jenny in the hospital, Quarmy felt very sad. He told Francisco what Eva and Yale did to

his mother. "To be honest, I have always been afraid of wronging her. After all, she is my mother's best

friend. I want to investigate her so I came to you. I always wondered why Eva decided to deal with my

mother and her own niece."

"She is a person who does everything for herself. I don't know why she set your mother up, but I know Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

why she helped Yale. She hates Hannah, so she naturally hates Hannah's daughter."

"Monica's mother is her only sister. Why does she hate her? Is it only because of Jim? But she has

already been with Jim, hasn't she?"

"No! She hasn't! That's why she hated Hannah."

"Except for Jim, has Eva ever loved others?" Quarmy asked again.

"No. If she had, she wouldn't have hated Hannah so much."

"But I found out that Eva had a child..."

"A child? Eva has a child? Really?" Francisco was shocked.

"You don't know that?" Quarmy was also shocked. He thought he could get some information about

Eva from Francisco, but it seemed that Francisco knew nothing about Eva.

"I don't know." Francisco shook his head. When he encountered such an accident, he was

disheartened. At that time, his father and stepmother passed away, so he closed himself up. He didn't

know what had happened to Eva at all.

Quarmy was disappointed. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you think it's possible that her child

is Jim's?"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Xanjer shook his head. "Although I don't know much about what happened

to her, I know her personality well. If her child was really Jim's, she would try her best to make use of

the child."

"Then who is the child's father?" Quarmy frowned. Did Eva really have something to do with Yale's

cousin Jake? Was Jake her child's father?

At that time, Jake was the person who was the closest to Yale and Eva. He must be very clear about

what had happened that year. Quarmy originally wanted to come to Jake, but he was afraid that Jake

was not reliable, so he came to Francisco first.

Since Francisco didn't know the truth, it seemed that he had to come to Jake. Before that, he had to let

his men investigate Jake.

Quarmy asked Noah to do it right away. The sooner, the better.

After talking with Quarmy, Francisco was very angry. He knew that Eva was a bad person, but he didn't

expect her to be so vicious. Francisco was kind- hearted. Although Eva had done those despicable

things to Hannah, he chose to give her a chance because she was his sister.

Over the years, he had always thought that Eva would repent, but he was wrong. In order to separate

Monica and Quarmy, she even wanted to kill Jenny. Until now, Francisco realized that his silence and

forbearance would not make Eva repent. On the contrary, it would make her more unscrupulous.

Eva had been threatening Francisco with his identity. In the past, in order not to let Monica worry too

much, he chose to compromise. But now, he found that he could no longer compromise. He was not

Xanjer. He had to find a chance to tell Monica about this.

Since Madrigal met Quarmy in the hospital last time, she began to frequently visit Jenny. Of course,

she didn't want Jenny to recover. She just wanted to attract Quarmy's attention.

Last time, Madrigal went back home and happily told Yale that Quarmy gave her his handkerchief. The

change of Quarmy's attitude surprised Yale. She guessed that it must be because of Madrigal's babies.

The desire of the Huo family for children was very strong.

Before, Quarmy was in love with Monica so he was indifferent to Madrigal. Now because of Jenny's

injury, he started to hate Monica. Madrigal was pregnant with twins, so Quarmy would definitely change

his attitude to Madrigal.

After thinking for a while, Yale thought that Madrigal had to make good use of her babies. Therefore,

she let Madrigal try her best to attract Quarmy's attention.

Of course, there was another reason for Yale to let Madrigal come to the hospital every day. She

wanted to know Jenny's physical condition from the cares and doctors. She had asked Uriah to deal

with Jenny before, but Uriah told her that he was unable to do so. Jenny's ward was the best ward in

the hospital. There were professional carers and security guards outside the ward. They didn't allow

strangers to get close to Jenny.

It worried Yale very much. Jenny was still alive, which was very unfavorable to them. Although Jenny

was still in the vegetative state, she was still a trouble. Eva said that there had been cases of people

waking up in a vegetative state, so it was possible for Jenny to wake up one day. They had to think of a

way to deal with it.

Sure enough, after meeting Madrigal several times in the hospital, Quarmy's attitude towards her got

better and better. He started to care about the physical condition of her and babies. He even took the

initiative to ask whether she needed him to accompany her for a prenatal examination.

It made Madrigal very happy. Ever since she was pregnant, she had dreamed of this. In fact, she did

not need to have a prenatal examination at all. However, she didn't want to miss this chance, so she

nodded repeatedly and happily went to the obstetrics and gynaecology department with Quarmy.

Seeing Madrigal and Quarmy, the doctor was very surprised. Didn't Madrigal just have an examination?

Madrigal's prenatal examinations had been done in the hospital where Eva worked before. Later, in

order to get close to Quarmy, Madrigal specially went to Jenny's hospital for a prenatal examination.

Eva did not trust others, so she asked a doctor she knew to examine Madrigal. Although the doctor was

surprised, she calmed herself down immediately. Then, she started to check Madrigal out.

Quarmy had been standing aside and watching. When the doctor finished checking, he began to

carefully ask her about Madrigal's condition. The doctor told Quarmy that the babies were in good

condition. Quarmy was very satisfied. "She is so thin that I was worried about her body. Since you said

so, I'm completely relieved."

Madrigal felt sweet. Quarmy asked the doctor if he could know the gender of the babies.

The hospital was not allowed to reveal the gender of babies to ordinary people, but Quarmy was not a

ordinary person. Therefore, the doctor did a B-ultrasound for Madrigal. Then, she said that her babies

should be two boys. Quarmy was very excited, "Really? Are you sure? Even if they are not two boys,

one of them has to be a boy. Otherwise, the Huo family will have no heir."

This was the first time Quarmy had talked about the babies' gender in such a formal way in front of

Madrigal. Before, Madrigal had never cared about the gender. Now she began to care about it after

knowing Quarmy's attitude.

Quarmy was the only man in the Huo family now. Naturally, he would like boys more than girls. That

was also why Jenny loved Coco so much. As for Madrigal, she also hoped that her babies were two

boys or boy-girl twins. In this way, they would have an advantage both in carrying on the family line and

in inheriting property. If they were two girls, things would be different. With Monica's son around, even if

she could win Quarmy's heart, she might not be able to control his company.

Madrigal took the gender of her babies to heart. While Quarmy was answering the phone, she asked

the doctor in a low voice, "Are they really two boys?"

"Actually, I didn't see it clearly. I think he likes boys, so I said so." The doctor answered.

Madrigal was very disappointed. The doctor lowered her voice and said, "Let's check it later."

"Is there any way to know the gender of the babies?" Madrigal asked again.

"Yes. Your condition is suitable for amniocentesis and blood examination.. The accuracy rate is 99%."

The doctor looked outside.

Madrigal nodded and planned to discuss it with her mother. If her babies were two boys or boy- girl

twins, it would be best. If they were two girls, she had to find a way to deal with it.

With this in mind, she lowered her voice and said to the doctor, "Remember to tell him that it's very not

easy for me to get pregnant. Let him come with me to the doctor more often."

The doctor promised. After a while, Quarmy came in. The doctor repeated what Madrigal said. She told

Quarmy that although the babies looked healthy, the mother was not in good health.

The doctor originally wanted Quarmy to care about Madrigal more, but Quarmy became anxious after

he heard this. "Will it affect the babies?"

The doctor didn't expect Quarmy to worry about the babies. She immediately answered, "No, the

babies are in good condition. You don't have to worry."

"How can I not be worried?" Quarmy retorted, "Didn't you say that Madrigal was not in good health? It

will definitely affect the babies. Madrigal is pregnant with two children now. I also remember that there's

something wrong with her body. No, it's too dangerous. I have to ensure that my children are healthy."

"Quarmy, they should be fine." Madrigal replied.

"I'm still worried. I have to eliminate all unfavorable factors. One of my employees gave birth to a silly

child because of her unhealthy body..." Quarmy paused and turned to ask the doctor in a stern tone.

"You are Madrigal's doctor. I ask you, can you guarantee that the babies will not have chromosomal

aberrations or other birth defects?"

Quarmy's face was serious and his tone was cold. The doctor was a little nervous. Of course she

couldn't guarantee it.

"I'm not sure about this... However, chromosomal aberrations usually occur because of a genetic

history or something toxic. Based on the condition of you and Miss Jane, I don't think that's going to

happen."

"It's hard to say. Madrigal has been in poor health. She took so many medicines. Won't medicine cause

chromosomal aberrations? This matter can't be taken lightly." Quarmy still insisted." Is there any

chance to check it?"

Hearing that, Madrigal was afraid. She winked at the doctor, but under the dignified gaze of Quarmy,

the doctor dared not to play tricks. "You can let her do an amniocentesis if you're worried. But she is

pregnant with twins and this examination is risky. Please think twice."

"Quarmy, the babies will definitely be fine. I'd better not to do it." Madrigal looked pitiful. She was

worried that Quarmy would do something to her babies.

Quarmy looked at Madrigal tenderly. "I know, but you're in poor health, aren't you? I'm worried about

you. Have a check- up for our children and me, okay?"

It was the first time that he had ever said such a sweet thing. Madrigal was so happy that she didn't

refuse.

Quarmy then ordered the doctor, "Do it immediately!"

The doctor hesitated and looked at Madrigal. "You have to make an appointment in advance. There are

a lot of people who want to do it..."

Before she could finish her words, Quarmy called the dean. "Dean Chen? I'm Quarmy. I want the

mother of my babies to have an amniocentesis. Please get us an experienced doctor."

Dean Chen directly agreed. He immediately arranged an authoritative expert to carry out surgery on

Madrigal. After After the preparatory work was finished, Madrigal was directly taken to the operating

room.

The doctor first did a B-ultrasound for Madrigal. The two babies were in good condition, so the doctor

asked the nurse to get prepared. The nurse took an ultrasound probe and placed it above Madrigal's

uterus to monitor the babies' condition. Then she disinfected Madrigal's belly. The doctor got a needle

for the operation and asked Madrigal to close her eyes.

Madrigal secretly glanced at the needle, which was more than ten centimetres long. She was so scared

that she closed her eyes immediately. The doctor was an expert. He touched Madrigal's belly and

inserted the needle without hesitation.

Madrigal was so afraid that she couldn't feel any pain at all. In a minute, the doctor extracted 20 ml of

amniotic fluid and the whole operation was over.

After that, the doctor did a B- ultrasound for Madrigal again and let her see the babies herself. The

babies were indeed fine. The doctor told her some things to take note of and asked her to get more

rest. Then, he let her get up.

After Madrigal got up, Quarmy came in. Madrigal rushed to Quarmy with tears in her eyes. "It's such a

long needle. I was so scared just now!"

Quarmy held her up and said in a very gentle voice, "For the sake of the children, you've suffered."

Madrigal wanted to be hugged, but Quarmy helped her sit on the chair. He turned to the doctor and

asked about the operation. The doctor said that he would tell Quarmy the result after about two weeks.

Quarmy thanked him and went out of the hospital with Madrigal.

Quarmy had never been so considerate before. He opened the car door for Madrigal in person and

asked the driver to drive slowly, which moved Madrigal a lot. After Madrigal left, Quarmy turned around

and got into his car. Then, his face suddenly changed.

Although he suspected that Madrigal's babies were not his, he was not completely sure. He had to

figure it out before he could feel at ease.

Quarmy naturally knew why Madrigal came to the hospital, so he deliberately changed his attitude and

accompanied her for a prenatal examination. He knew that Madrigal's doctor was Eva's friend, so he

deliberately asked about the gender of the babies and deliberately pretended that he wanted a son.

In fact, he was not interested in the gender of the babies at all. He did it to let Madrigal believe that he

cared about her babies.

Madrigal had been pregnant for more than four months, so he could use her amniotic fluid fora

paternity test. He was very cold to Madrigal before, so he offered to accompany her for a prenatal

examination. He wanted to win her trust and carry out his plan.

Originally, he thought that it would take a few days for. Unexpectedly, Madrigal's doctor said that she

was in poor health. Quarmy immediately came up with an idea. He could take the opportunity to let

Madrigal have an amniocentesis for the sake of babies.

Quarmy had been in contact with all kinds of people in Jiang City all these years. The dean of this

hospital had a good relationship with him, so his plan went well.

Quarmy told the dean to give him Madrigal's amniotic fluid. After getting it, he could do a paternity test.

Quarmy was not completely relieved. He let his men keep an eye on this paternity test and asked Noah

to supervise it personally.

A few days later, the paternity test report was placed in front of Quarmy. Madrigal's babies had nothing

to do with him. Seeing this, Quarmy let out a long sigh of relief. He came to Monica with the report.

Monica asked him after being silent for a while, "What are you going to do now? Are you going to tell

Madrigal about this?"

Quarmy shook his head. "It's not easy for her to get pregnant. I must let her give birth to her babies.

Even if I tell her now that the babies are not mine, she may not believe it. Also, if she gives up the two

babies, she will lose the qualification to be a mother for the rest of her life."

"But isn't it too..." Monica didn't go on. If Madrigal knew that all her efforts were in vain, how desperate

she would be? Would she break down because of this?

"Moni, I know what you mean. Everything that happens has a cause and an effect. To be softhearted

on the enemy is to be cruel to yourself." Quarmy sneered. "It's all because of them that my mother has

become like this. I won't let anyone of them go! We'll see!"
