Every Breath You Take

Chapter 116

When Leon was done with the factory, he went to the hospital to see Mary. After the operation, Mary

was sent to the intensive care unit. The doctor said that she was not in danger for the time being. Leon

asked the driver to take care of her, and then he returned home.

It was already midnight when he got home. He habitually came to Coco's room. When he opened the

door, he saw Quarmy holding sleeping Coco in his arms. He couldn't help but feel touched.

He could tell that Quarmy was sincere to Monica. If it weren't for Jenny, Monica and Quarmy would

have been very happy!

He gently closed the door. Monica heard his light footsteps. "You're back? Let me make a midnight

snack for you."

Leon stopped her. "Go to bed. I'll ask the servants to do it. You're pregnant now, so you should have a

good rest."

"I know. Don't worry, I'm not that delicate!" The two of them chatted as they went downstairs gently.

Quarmy also woke up. He gently let go of Coco and got up. When he saw Monica preparing a midnight

snack for Leon, he really felt uncomfortable. In the past beautiful days, every time he came back late

from work, Monica would make food for him.

Quarmy felt a little sad. He turned back to Coco's room in a heavy mood. Looking at his son who was

sleeping soundly, the sadness in his heart slowly disappeared. It was really good to have a son.

He couldn't help but lower his head to kiss Coco's face again. "Son, you must stand on my side. Only

then will your mother change her mind. I beg you!"

In Jiang City, night fell. Eva and Madrigal sneaked to the hospital separately. The hospital was very

quiet at this time. When Eva went to the operating room, she ran into a nurse. "Director Xi, what are

you doing here?"

Eva was annoyed. Why was she so unlucky? She chose to have the operation at night in order to

prevent people from knowing it. Although she was unhappy, she still had a smile on her face. "I have

forgotten something here."

The nurse believed it and politely said goodbye to her. Eva quickly entered the operating room. A few

minutes later, Madrigal and Yale came to the operating room. "Did you meet anyone on the way?"

"No." Yale answered.

Eva was relieved and told Madrigal to lie down on the operating table. They had been preparing for this

day for a long time. Madrigal started getting shots and pills for ovulation two months ago, so this

operation would definitely go well. Eva started by taking Madrigal's eggs. The operation went well, and

soon the eggs were placed in the nourishing liquid.

Several hours later, Madrigal's eggs were put into the culture dish together with Quarmy's sperm. Eva

told Madrigal that she could transplant it into her body in three to five days. She let Madrigal go home

first to wait for the news.

"What did you say? Quarmy went to the United States?" As soon as Roland arrived at the company

early in the morning, Beck told him a bad news.

Beck nodded. "Yes, he went there the day before yesterday. He hasn't come back yet."

Roland's face darkened. He knew that Quarmy did this for Monica. Quarmy was really shameless.

Monica had already made it clear that she would no longer have anything to do with Quarmy, and she

decided to marry Leon, but Quarmy still wanted to pester her. What a hateful man!

Beck knew that Roland was angry. He also guessed the purpose of Quarmy's trip. He was afraid that

Roland would go to the United States to stop Quarmy, so he said in a hurry, "The sports meeting will

soon be bidding. It's a great thing for us that Quarmy left Jiang City at this time."

Roland glared at Beck. "What's so good about that? Do you think I'll be afraid of him? So what if he

stays in Jiang City? Isn't he going to be defeated by me?"

Beck said, "That's right. He lost the city construction project to us last time. Now we have Francisco's

help, we will definitely win. However, at this crucial time, we can't let down our guard."

"All right, you go out first." Roland's face was still gloomy, and he couldn't be happy at all. Of course, he

knew what Beck meant. However, the happiness of the person he loved was also important. He had to

quickly confirm whether Quarmy had made trouble for Monica. After Beck left, Roland called Monica.

Before, he called Mandy and heard that Old Mrs. Gu had agreed to Leon and Monica's marriage. At

that time, he had mixed feelings. Although he had already engaged Mandy and it was impossible for

him to be with Monica, in his heart, he still loved Monica. When he knew that she was getting married,

his heart ached. When he thought that Monica had suffered so many hardships over the years, he still

felt happy that there was finally a person who loved and cared about her.

However, Quarmy, a shameless rogue, actually went to the United States. He must want to destroy the

marriage between Monica and Leon. Roland thought that he couldn't let Quarmy succeed.

It was 9:00 p.m. in the United States. At this moment, Monica was bathing Coco in the bathroom.

After dinner this day, Monica took Coco to walk in the garden. Quarmy followed them and wanted to

play hide-and-seek with Coco. In the past two days, Coco had been with Quarmy, so he was much

closer to Quarmy. He agreed immediately and asked Monica to join them.

Seeing that Coco was so interested, Monica couldn't refuse. Coco was having so much fun that his

clothes were dirty and his body was sweating. Monica was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she

quickly took him back to take a bath.

Her mobile phone was placed on the table in the outside room, and the door of the bathroom was

closed. Monica were singing loudly with Coco, so she didn't hear her phone ring. Roland felt strange

and called her again. At this time, Quarmy happened to come to see Coco. He knocked on the door but

no one answered. When he opened the door, he saw the mobile phone on the table vibrating, and the

mother and son were singing happily in the bathroom.

He walked over and picked up the phone. When he saw the caller, he frowned slightly. This Roland had

been engaged, but he still wanted to pester Monica. Quarmy was angry when he thought that Monica

had been with this playboy for such a long time. Roland had been after Monica and going against him.

Now that Monica was in the United States, it was ridiculous that this guy still called her. Quarmy was so

angry that he answered the phone without caring about politeness.

On the phone, Roland's voice sounded very urgent. "Hello, Monica? I'm Roland. I heard that Quarmy

went to America. Did he trouble you again?"

Quarmy twitched the corner of his mouth and said angrily, "Why do you think I'm here to make trouble

for Monica?"

Roland was startled. He did not expect it was Quamry who answered the phone. "Why you? Where's

Monica?"

Quarmy glanced at the bathroom door and suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, "She's taking a

bath."

"... It's impossible. Let Monica answer the phone." Roland took a deep breath. Quarmy meant that he

was with Monica again, but Roland didn't believe it. He knew very well that Monica had decided to

break up with Quarmy before she went to the United States. Besides, she was going to marry Leon.

But why was her cell phone in Quarmy's hand?

"I said she was taking a bath." Roland's voice was so loud that Quarmy frowned. He slowly walked to

the window. This place was a little farther from the bathroom. He didn't want to disturb the mother and

son who were singing happily in the bathroom, nor did he want Roland to hear Coco singing.

Otherwise, Roland would know that he was lying. Quarmy hated Roland, so he wanted to take the

opportunity to piss him off.

"I don't believe your nonsense!" Roland was even angrier. "Quarmy, why are you so shameless?

Monica is going to marry Leon, and you still want to make trouble. What on earth would it take for you

to let her go?"

Quarmy laughed and said, "Is that so? Monica is my wife and Coco is my son. How can I let my wife

marry another man and let my son call another man Dad?"

"You... How do you know Coco is your son?" Roland's heart skipped a beat. He had never thought that

Quarmy would know Coco's identity. He had believed that Quarmy went to America for Monica.

"Haha!" Quarmy laughed happily. "Speaking of which, I have to thank your fiancee, Mandy. She is too

kind. She couldn't bear to let her brother separate Monica and me, so she told me about Coco's

identity. You're really lucky to have such an understanding fiancee. You have to treat her well. Don't be

a playboy again. Well, my wife will be out of the shower soon. I have to go. Goodbye!" Quarmy hung up

the phone.

Hearing that, Roland was really angry. He did not care about Quarmy's sarcasm. Now he finally

understood that Quarmy came to the United States for not only Monica but also Coco. It was all caused

by Mandy.

Roland knew very well that the reason Quarmy divorced Monica was that Monica was sterile. Jenny

crazily wanted to have a grandson. Now that Quarmy knew Coco was his biological son, he would

definitely not allow Monica to marry Leon. He would think of all possible ways to stop it. Even if Monica

insisted on marrying Leon, Quarmy would compete with Monica for the right to raise Coco. With the

power of Huo Family in Jiang City, Monica was unable to compete with Quarmy. If Coco was really

taken away, what would Monica do?

Thinking of Monica's current situation, Roland felt distressed. All this was Mandy's fault. He wanted to

fly to the United States and teach her a lesson. Therefore, he called Mandy without hesitation.

Mandy was lying on the sofa and reading a female magazine. When she saw Roland's name on her

mobile phone, she was really delighted.

Roland rarely called her. Last time, he called her for Monica, which made her very uncomfortable. In

order to show her generosity, she pretended to be very kind and told him the situation of Monica and

Coco. She also told him that Leon wanted to marry Monica, in order to let him give up on Monica. At

that time, Roland's tone was very cold. She knew that he must be sad. However, time would change

everything. She believed that he would soon forget Monica and marry her wholeheartedly.

At this time, Roland should have just gone to work. Did he call her because he had given up on Monica

completely? Could it be that he finally wanted to treat his fiancee well?

Mandy couldn't wait to answer the phone. She smiled and said, "Hello, Roland, what's the matter?"

"Mandy, why did you tell Quarmy about Coco's identity? What on earth do you want?"

Roland's roar almost deafened Mandy. She did not expect Roland to call her for Monica again, and he

even yelled at her. In the heart of this man whom she loved deeply, there was only Monica. He only

cared about Monica.

The joy that filled her heart suddenly disappeared, and her tears quickly flowed out. Mandy only wanted

to complain. However, when she thought of Roland's ruthlessness, she stopped. If she really annoyed

him and made him refuse to marry her, wouldn't all her previous efforts be wasted?

She took a deep breath, endured the anger in her heart, and deliberately said with grievances,

"Roland, why are you so fierce? What do I want? I did this for Monica and Coco. Coco has leukemia,

and Monica has been worried about him. The doctor said that only Monica and Quarmy's another child

could save Coco. I thought that Monica might not want to beg Quarmy because he used to abandon

her, so I decided to help her. I told Quamry that all he had to do was provide his sperm. Not only will it

save Coco, it won't affect the relationship between Monica and Leon. Isn't it the best way? Why are you

blaming me?" Actually, Mandy knew that Monica was already pregnant.

"Bulls*it, do you think I will believe you? You hate Monica, so you told Quarmy about Coco's identity.

You wants him to stop Monica from marrying Leon and take Coco away. Let me tell you, if Monica and

Coco get hurt because of this, I will not spare you!" Roland grew up with Mandy and knew her

character very well. She had been jealous of Monica, so how could she be so kind to help Monica? Her

only purpose was to stop Monica from being happy.

Mandy was trembling with anger. She wanted to explain, but Roland had already hung up the phone.

Her face turned pale when she saw the black screen. This time, she deliberately told Quarmy the truth

because she wanted to prevent Monica from marrying Leon. She was afraid that Monica would be

close to Roland after becoming her sister-in-law. Now she felt that she was right. Based on what

Roland said just now, if he and Monica became relatives, they would definitely be closer. Even if

Quarmy successfully brought Monica back to Jiang City, it would be hard to prevent Roland from

meeting Monica again. Mandy was really angry as she thought of how much Roland loved Monica. No

matter what, she wouldn't let Monica stand in the way of her happiness. It seemed that she had to get

rid of Monica, otherwise Roland would never fall in love with her.

An evil idea came to her mind. She slowly clenched her fists, gnashed her teeth and said, "Monica, you

b*tch. Since you made me suffer, I won't let you go! Just wait and see!"

After hanging up, Roland was still worried about Monica, so he called Leon. He really did not

understand why Monica's phone was in Quarmy's hands. Normally, Monica would ignore Quarmy

unless she had promised to be with him.

As soon as the phone was connected, Roland asked Leon if Quarmy had gone to the United States for

Coco.

Leon's words made Roland feel a little relieved. Leon told him that Old Mrs. Gu allowed Quarmy to stay

in the Gu family. Monica did not accept him, nor did she promise to marry him.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'm really afraid that Quarmy will hurt Monica and Coco.

You must protect them."

Leon had always known how Roland felt about Monica, so he was not surprised at all. He said, "Don't

worry! As long as I'm here, Quarmy can't hurt them. However, in order to prevent Quarmy from fighting

for the right to raise Coco, I want them to migrate to the United States."

"You don't have to worry about that. Monica's uncle has already told me about this matter. I am working

on it. It shouldn't take long. No matter how powerful Quarmy is, he can do nothing in the United States."

Roland secretly admired Francisco's foresight.

Leon asked in surprise, "Really? Why didn't I hear about it from Monica?"

"This is Monica's uncle's idea. Monica has been worried about Coco's illness. He didn't want to distract

her, so he asked for my help." Of course, Roland would not tell Leon about Xanjer's identity and the

drawings. In fact, even if Francisco did not give him the drawings, he would also help Monica. After all,

he loved her so much that he was willing to help her at any time.

Leon smiled happily and said, "I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. I will tell Monica about this.

Thank you."

"You don't have to be so polite. By the way, you have to treat Monica well. Don't let her be wronged

again." Roland's tone was relaxed, but his heart was full of sorrow. Although he wanted Monica to be

happy, he was still jealous of Leon.

How could Leon not understand what Roland meant? Previously, when Leon heard that Roland was

pursuing Monica and Monica also had a good impression of Roland, he felt very uncomfortable. Now

Monica was about to marry him, and Roland would never get her. He could really understand how sad

Roland was.

He said very solemnly, "Don't worry, I promise to make Monica happy for the rest of her life."

Roland smiled. "Well, I'll remember that. That's it, I'll hang up."

"Wait a minute, how do you know that Quarmy came here for Coco?" Leon asked. According to his

understanding of Monica, she would not take the initiative to tell Roland about it. Then who did it?

After a moment's hesitation, Roland said, "Your dear sister told Quarmy that Coco was his son."

"What? Mandy? Why is this girl so unreasonable?" Leon had been wondering how Quarmy knew about

Coco's identity before. Now he finally understood. Thinking of what Mandy did when Monica was

kidnapped, he was not surprised at all that this matter was related to Mandy. How could his sister be so

cruel? How could she hurt Monica again and again?

Roland became very serious. "Leon, speaking of this matter, I have to remind you. You have to be on

guard against Mandy. She has always been jealous of Monica because I used to like Monica. I think

she did it to cause trouble for Monica. I am afraid that she will do something bad to Monica in the

future."

After a moment of silence, Leon said, "I know. I'll talk to her."

After all, Mandy was Leon's sister. No matter how unhappy Leon was, he could not tell Roland that she

was a bad girl. Besides, he also hoped that Mandy would be happy. If he told Roland that Monica was

almost killed by Mandy, he believed that Roland would cancel the engagement immediately.

In the Huo Family of Jiang City.

Jenny leaned on the sofa alone and watched TV. This house was getting quieter and quieter. If there

was a child accompanying her, her life would not be so difficult.

Thinking of this, she thought of Madrigal. She didn't know whether Madrigal could get pregnant. If

Madrigal was pregnant, she must try her best to keep the child.

Then, she thought of her son. Her son had been abroad for a few days, but he didn't even call her.

Noah also had no idea about how Quarmy was doing. She had called Quarmy for so many times, but

she never got through. Her son must be angry at her. Looking at the time, she took out her mobile

phone and called Quarmy again, but the call was still unconnected.

Jenny was calling Quarmy, Quarmy was also calling Jenny.

Quarmy had thought about why Monica refused to be with him and stopped Coco from calling him Dad.

On the one hand, she misunderstood him and thought that he was still with Madrigal. On the other

hand, it was because of Jenny.

He could prove with action that he would never have any contact with Madrigal. Also, he thought that

he could change Jenny's attitude towards Monica. Infertility was the main reason that Jenny treated

Monica badly. Now Monica gave birth to a son for the Huo Family, Jenny probably wouldn't make things

difficult for her anymore.

Thinking of this, Quarmy picked up the phone and called Jenny. Unexpectedly, Jenny was also calling

him. Then, Quarmy called the landline at home, which was answered by Lassie. "Mr. Huo? You finally

called us. Madam has been anxious that she failed to contact you! Wait a minute, I'll let her answer the

phone."

"Okay." Quarmy knew that Jenny would be anxious. He came to the United States in a hurry without

telling her. These days, he had been in a bad mood, so he directly ignored Jenny's calls.

After a while, Jenny's anxious voice sounded. "Quarmy, why didn't you answer the phone? Noah said

that you went to America. Why did you go there? You..."

"Mom, I have something to tell you." Quarmy didn't want to listen to Jenny's nagging anymore. He

interrupted her, "Coco is my own son. You're his grandmother."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other side of the phone, and then Jenny asked loudly,

"What did you say? You didn't lie to me to get back together with Monica, did you?"

Quarmy was both angry and amused. It was not surprising that Jenny would doubt it. She had been

against him being with Monica. Therefore, in her eyes, it was possible for him to lie to her. "Mom, I

didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, I can swear with my life. If I lie to you, when I go back, my

plane will..."

"All right, all right, I believe it!" Jenny hurriedly interrupted him. "What's going on? Didn't Monica say

that the child was someone else's? How could it be yours?"

"She lied to me on purpose. She didn't want me to know that Coco was my son."

"Then why did she tell you now?"

Quarmy said, "Mom, it's a long story. I'll tell you later. Now I only want to ask you, since Coco is my

son, will you still oppose my marriage with Monica?"

"This..." Thinking of Monica's bad attitude towards her, Jenny felt uncomfortable. She really didn't want

to live with Monica. Besides, Madrigal had had sex with Quarmy. If Madrigal got pregnant, she would

have another grandson, and Quarmy would have to marry Madrigal. She preferred Madrigal to be her

daughter-in-law. She deliberately said, "Didn't Monica go to the United States and refuse to be with

you?"

Quarmy said, "As long as you treat her well in the future, she will marry me."

"Let's talk about this later. You should bring Coco back first! He is a descendant of the Huo Family.

Bring him back as soon as possible." There were still some doubts in Jenny's heart. She was very clear

about Quarmy's character. He could do anything for Monica. If he really lied to her in order to be with

Monica, what should she do? Only by letting Coco and Quarmy have a paternity test could she be

completely relieved.

Quarmy was stubborn. "I will definitely take Coco back, but you must promise me that you will treat Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Monica well. Otherwise, Monica will not allow Coco to call me Dad, nor will she be willing to marry me."

"What? She won't let Coco call you Dad?" Jenny was angry when she heard this." Coco is your son.

What right does she have to do so? I'll go to America right now and help you take Coco back!"

"Mom, aren't you making trouble? I can handle it myself. Please don't come here. Otherwise, if you

annoy Monica and she brings Coco to other places, I won't be able to find them again. You won't be

able to see your grandson again."

"Fine, but you must bring Coco back. The grandson of the Huo Family can only have the surname Huo.

Do you hear me?"

"Well, I have to go, that's it." After saying that, Quarmy hung up the phone. If he had known this, he

would not have called Jenny. His mother was simply unreasonable. At this time, she still wanted to

push Monica and Coco. It seemed that he had to rely on himself to persuade Monica!

However, Jenny couldn't calm herself down. It was really a big news! She suddenly had a grandchild

from Monica, whom she had always thought to be infertile. She was at a loss what to do.

After thinking for a while, she became happy. She had a grandson! The Huo Family had a

descendant...

However, she had to confirm whether this child was Quarmy's.

"No! I have go check it myself. I can't trust Monica. Quarmy loves her so much that she can easily

cheat him. If Monica's cute child is really my grandson, I won't hesitate to bring him back. If not, I won't

let my son raise another man's son."

In the United States.

Leon was ready to go to the company. When he thought of the woman in the hospital, he decided to go

to the hospital. He had already called the police. The police had not found any evidence at the scene,

and the monitoring nearby was broken. The police went to the hospital to ask about the situation and

then left.

Leon arrived at the hospital. Mary, who was in the intensive care unit, still didn't wake up. Leon stood

outside the door and looked at Mary, who was wearing an oxygen mask.

Who on earth wanted to kill this young woman? Revenge killing? Murder?

If her family knew her current state, how worried they would be? Thinking of her similar face to

Monica's, he was a little heavy-hearted. After asking the driver to hire two nurses to take care of Mary,

he left the hospital.

"Where are you, Quarmy?" As soon as Jenny got off the plane, she called Quarmy.

"Mom, are you also in America?" Quarmy was surprised.

"I can't stay calm after hearing what you said! Tell me where you are!"

Quarmy smiled bitterly. His mother was still so impatient, but this matter was not as simple as she

thought. "Mom, you go to the hotel first, and I'll come to see you right away."

Quarmy rushed to the hotel. Jenny was already impatient. "Why are you alone? Where is my

grandson? Why didn't you bring him here?"

"Mom, this matter is not as easy as you think. Monica didn't tell Coco his relationship with us. She is

going to marry Leon." He told Jenny the whole story in detail.

Hearing this, Jenny was very angry. "This woman wants my grandson to be Leon's son! How can this

be? No, I don't allow it!"

"Mom, can you let me handle this matter by myself?" His relationship with Monica was already bad. He

didn't want Jenny to do anything extreme.

"You can't solve this alone. Let me help you." Jenny refused to listen to him. "I have to see my

grandson now!"

"Coco is sick. Don't be so impulsive. Coco doesn't know that we are his family. You'll stimulate him."

Quarmy frowned.

Seeing that her son was defending Monica, Jenny felt uncomfortable. It seemed that she had to handle

this matter herself. First of all, she had to confirm whether Coco was her grandson or not. She came up

with an idea.
