Alanna wasn't sure how to respond to his words.Since the beginning, she didn't consider this child to be Hades' responsibility.In fact, she didn't even plan to let Hades know about the existence of this child at first.She understood that neither her efforts nor Hades' efforts could guarantee the child's safety.She knew better than anyone that the best way now was to go abroad, hide away from those people, and safely give birth to the child.Yet in her current position, if she didn't go on an assignment, going abroad would require layers of approval. Moreover, she would be supervised even if she went.Not to mention there had been no news of an assignment.Getting approval to go abroad was not that easy either.She quietly looked out the window.Her mind was full of the evil gaze of Cyrus' illegitimate child.Hades lightly brushed her cheek with his finger."Don't be afraid. I will protect both of you."Irritated, Alanna pushed his hand away.Hades' mood seemed to lit u
Hector remained silent. "Your overseas assignment might be postponed for the meantime.""What if I want to apply to go abroad for personal reasons?"Hector replied in a low voice, "You can try, but it will be difficult to get the approval. Also, the process will be lengthy."Alanna sighed softly. "Okay, I understand."Alanna hung up the phone. Hades also came out of the bathroom. He felt somewhat cold.After putting on a set of pajamas, he came to hug Alanna."Aren't you sleepy yet?"Alanna whispered, "Hades, our baby will be okay, right?"Hades hugged her tightly and responded after a while."Yes."Alanna didn't know when she fell asleep. Even in her sleep, her brows were furrowed.Feeling somewhat distressed, Hades hugged her tighter.He swore to himself that he wouldn't let anything happen to her this time.In the following days, Alanna remained busy.But she knew that Hades had arranged many people in the neighborhood.Literally everybody there was Hades' men.He al
Hades' gaze flickered. "You suspect that he asked you to work in the company to harm your mother?"Alanna nodded."Yes, but the only thing I can't figure out is that my mom had no connection with Edmund at all. Why would Edmund go to such lengths ..."Alanna spoke. Suddenly, she remembered something.Her face turned pale, and she grabbed Hades' hand."What about Tucker? Hades, did you discover anything about Tucker?"Tucker had once told her that her mother was being chased after by someone. Could that person be ... Edmund?Alanna's mind buzzed.She was frightened by her own thoughts.She had always thought that her mother had no connection with Edmund.But she forgot that her mother had amnesia and had no memory of what happened before meeting Tucker.She wondered if it was possible that her mother had known Edmund a long time ago.If that were the case, then everything would make sense.Edmund was after her mother, but Tucker saved her.Did Edmund think her mother was d
Alanna chuckled. "I don't need big breasts."Hades' eyes darkened. "Well, it's all for the benefit of me and our baby."Alanna replied, "It's for the baby."Hades raised an eyebrow. "But I've tasted them countless times already."Alanna snorted. "Can you stop being so shameless?"Hades was amused.It was snowing outside, so Hades drove cautiously.Hades had his bodyguards escort them.The journey, which normally took less than half an hour, took more than an hour today.Also, Hades had already made arrangements at the hospital.They entered through a private entrance and went directly to the doctor's examination room.After a series of examinations, it was almost noon.Gwyneth came out of the outpatient department and saw Hades walking out of the innermost consultation room with a woman in his arms.Although the woman was wearing a mask and a hat, Gwyneth immediately recognized her by her figure and aura. It was definitely Alanna.However, she thought Alanna's walking pos
Hollyn had been very troubled recently.She had thought that what Benedict said at the banquet would stir up some response from Olivia. Yet surprisingly, Olivia had endured it. Until now, she hadn't approached Alanna.Moreover, Alanna suddenly quit her job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was odd.She knew how responsible Alanna was when it came to work.Not to mention she just took over Winston's job. She should have been even more diligent.Holly wondered why Alanna had chosen to quit her job at such a time.Holly asked around the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but failed to discover anything.Just as she was feeling distressed, Gwyneth's call came."Holly, I have news that will interest you."Holly laughed sarcastically.Everybody knew that as a member of the Simmonses, the position of the third wife is much inferior to that of the first wife."Mrs. Simmons, you sound like you know me well." Gwyneth chuckled."That's of course."Holly's patience was wearing thin.
Several ambulances raced into the hospital.Jeff stood at the door of the emergency room with a dark expression.Yves hurriedly rushed over from Jagersville. His face was as pale as paper."Jeff, my brother and Alanna ...""Alanna has a hemorrhage and is undergoing resuscitation. The baby was born prematurely. She weighs just over three pounds and is in a very bad condition. As for your brother, an iron fragment splattered and pierced his back... He's just been issued a critical condition notice."Yves' legs went weak. He was a grown man, yet he suddenly felt like he couldn't hold himself up.Jeff quickly supported him."How could this happen?"Jeff glanced around. "Stay calm. Since someone wants to harm them, there will surely be people trying to find out if they're okay. The hospital is crowded. Anyone here could be a spy."Yves struggled to stand up.But his heart was writhing with pain.If anything happened to any one of them, the other two would surely be devastated.T
Michel suddenly remembered something. "Hades, my brother has set up a laboratory at home specifically for treating premature babies. You can consider sending your child there. The technology is much better than in regular hospitals. And since it's a laboratory, confidentiality won't be an issue."Yves' eyes lit up."Really?"Michel nodded.Yves quickly looked at Hades.Hades lay on the bed and spoke after a long pause."Call Justin in. I want everyone else out!"Yves didn't know what Hades was planning, but he still went out and called Justin in.Not long after, Justin came out of the ward with a solemn expression.After closing the door, Yves looked at Hades with a face full of distress."Hades, how could you do this? If Alanna finds out, she won't be able to live!"Hades' face was pale. "If I don't do this, the baby won't survive.""But this is too unfair to Alanna!"Hades smiled bitterly."Just blame everything on me."After coming out of Hades' ward, Chelsey went dir
Alanna woke up to see Chelsey sitting by her bed with bloodshot eyes.She subconsciously touched her belly.Then, her face turned pale."Where's my babu? Where's Hades?"Chelsey, who had just stopped crying, started bawling again.Alanna suddenly felt a chill in her heart."Is it the baby or Hades?"Chelsey held her hand. "Ally, the baby ... The baby..."She couldn't bring herself to say the word "stillborn".Tears immediately welled up in Alanna's eyes.She looked at Chelsey and suddenly smiled."Chelsey, stop joking around. She ... She was kicking my belly just now."Holding Alanna's hand, Chelsey couldn't speak through her tears.The smile on Alanna's lips suddenly froze.Then, tears silently streamed down her face.Chelsey was terrified by her reaction.She held Alanna's hand."Ally, cry as much as you want. Just cry out loud. Don't hold it in. You just gave birth. You can't hold your emotions in. Let your feelings out. Just cry out loud."However, Alanna didn't m
