“Her mom came over, so I’m going home first. I’m afraid Mrs. Wilson will worry if she can’t find me.” Sonnet saw the bloodstains on his sleeve. She nodded and said, “Alright, you can go back first. I’ll call a taxi for you…” “It’s alright, wifey. I asked Benson to fetch us over. I’ll go back in his car,” Maxwell immediately said. After a momentary pause, he asked, “Wifey, why are you in the hospital? Are you not feeling well?” Sonnet immediately came up with an excuse. “Oh, one of my friends got hospitalized. I came here to visit her.” Maxwell did not suspect anything either. “Shall I wait for you so we can go back together?” “It’s alright. I’ll chat with her for a while. I don’t know how long I’ll be staying here. You should go back and take a shower.” Maxwell nodded and let out an affirmative hum. He then left. Sonnet looked at his silhouette. She felt like something was off. However, she could not figure out what it was. She turned around and walked to the

It was almost half past six. It was time for Sonnet to head back home. She poked her head out of the door and realized that Mr. Hoffman, Myles’s doctor, was still in his office. She thought that she was extremely lucky. She knocked on the door of Mr. Hoffman’s office and asked, “Mr. Hoffman, I heard that my dad was in a critical condition today afternoon. Is that so? Was his condition extremely severe?” Anson Hoffman smiled and replied, “This is a common condition among patients that receive chemotherapy. It’ll be alright as long as they are discovered and rescued in time.” “Will this always happen to my father?” Sonnet had a worried gaze in her eyes. Anson shook his head and said, “It happens occasionally. It won’t always happen. We’ll pay closer attention to his white blood cell count after this incident. If a significant reduction in his white blood cell count is detected, preventative measures will be taken in advance.” Sonnet stopped worrying after hearing what he sa

Sonnet was momentarily stunned. She then asked, “Why is it no longer trending?” If someone had intentionally tried to expose her, how could they let the post stop trending so quickly? “That’s not it. The post has been removed!” Lindy emphasized. “I’ve scoured through all the websites online. I can no longer find that post anywhere on the internet!” Sonnet remained silent for a while before asking, “What do you think happened?” “I was just about to ask you. Did someone work on public relations for you? Was it someone from the Brooks family?” “No.” Sonnet was sure about this. The Brooks family wanted nothing more than for her to be involved in such a scandal. If she got exposed for being unfaithful to Maxwell, they could rightfully kick her out of the Brooks household and reclaim her monthly allowance from the family fund.“That means someone else did this.” Lindy seemed to think of something. She started gossiping, “Perhaps it was Young Master Gunn or Mr. Scott? They

“I hope you’ll be kind enough to ask Jessie to visit her father every so often. He didn’t raise her, but she’s still his biological daughter. Blood is thicker than water, of course. I’m sure Dad will be happy to see her more often, and maybe he’ll recover faster.”Harold nodded. “Sure, I’ll remind her.”Perhaps Harold took her request to heart. That evening, just as Sonnet was leaving work, Jessie called her in a huff. “Let’s meet up!”Sonnet went to the park she mentioned. As soon as they met up, Jessie swung a slap at her face.Sonnet was ready for her, catching her by the wrist. “What are you doing, Jessie Cole?”“What am I doing? You’re the one who told Harold about our relationship, aren’t you?! How could you badmouth me behind my back, you shameless hussy?!” Jessie screamed at her.Sonnet tossed her hand aside. “I didn’t badmouth you. It’s a matter of time before he finds out that you’re Dad’s real daughter. You’ll have to tell him eventually if you want to date him, right?

Sonnet’s heart sank. It seemed they would not be able to accept her children…Marcus looked up at her curiously, and she guiltily evaded his gaze.Forget it, she decided not to tell Maxwell about her children for now. She could come clean after she earned enough money to pay back the Brooks for what she owed.Maxwell’s tests came back clean. Mrs. Wilson followed him home, while Sonnet went straight to Lux Club to work after paying her father a visit.Shay kept bugging her and asking about Jaybie, so after some thought, Sonnet called Sophia to ask if she could bring Shay over to play with Lune and Jaybie.Come to think of it, she still did not know where they lived after all this time. Whenever she was about to ask, she kept getting distracted by something else.“Mom, we’re our grocery shopping with Granny. Why don’t we meet up at the store?” Lune grabbed the phone and sent her their location after hanging up.Sonnet looked at the location and saw that it was near the Brooks hous
