Every Breath You Take

Chapter 115

"Well, since Mr. Huo is here, let's sit down and talk!" After all, Old Mrs. Gu had a wide range of

experience, so she was relatively calm. Then she ordered the servant, "Serve tea!"

Leon pulled Monica and Coco to sit down. Quarmy also sat down. A servant came in with tea and

politely handed a cup to Quarmy. "Sir, please!"

Quarmy took the tea and placed it on the tea table next to him. He kept staring at Coco. Coco's facial

features were indeed very similar to Monica's. However, when he looked at Coco closely, he would find

that Coco also looked like him. How could he be so stupid before? How could he believe Monica's

nonsense? How could he believe that Coco was the child of someone else?

Coco felt very uncomfortable to be stared at by Quarmy. Why did he feel that Uncle Huo seemed to

have changed into another person? He used to like Uncle Huo, but when he saw Uncle Huo getting

engaged to someone else, he no longer liked him.

His mother had said that a man should keep his promise. Uncle Huo had promised to take care of him

and his mother. He no longer liked Uncle Huo because he hated people who didn't keep their promises.

Seeing Coco sitting beside Leon and Monica, Quarmy felt resentful. He waved to Coco and said,

"Coco, come here!" Coco shook his head and leaned against Leon. He looked at Quarmy with his black Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

eyes and asked, "Uncle Huo, what are you doing here?"

Quarmy couldn't vent his resentment in front of Coco. He tried to make himself smile. "I'm here to

handle some things and visit you by the way."

"Thank you, Uncle Huo." Coco was very polite. He grabbed Monica with one hand and Leon with the

other. "My mother and Uncle Gu are getting married. I'll have a father soon!"

Quarmy's face changed and he looked at Monica with red eyes. "Monica, let me ask you, who is

Coco's father?"

Monica didn't say anything. Since Quarmy asked her so confidently, he must have known something.

However, Coco's identity had always been secret. How did Quarmy know?

Coco did not understand what they were thinking. He answered in a childish voice, "My father is dead!"

"Dead!" Quarmy sneered. Monica hated him so much that she told Coco he was dead. "Monica, is

Coco's father really dead? Huh?"

Monica did not speak. She just nodded.

"Very well. I will have a paternity test with Coco tomorrow. Paternity tests don't lie!"

"Why? Why should I let you and my child have a paternity test?" Monica retorted.

"Are you afraid?" Quarmy sneered. "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of anything. My son is sick. His body can't afford it!" "Really? What about the baby you're

carrying? As far as I know, you are pregnant now. Do you dare to say that the baby is not mine?"

Quarmy was aggressive. "Monica, I have known everything I should know. It's no use trying to hide it!"

"Mom, what does 'hide' mean?"

"This..." Monica didn't know how to answer Coco's question.

Quarmy stared at her and said, "Monica, can you tell Coco with a clear conscience about my

relationship with him?"

Whose fault was it that led to this.

Monica's face turned pale. Facing Quarmy's question, she had nothing to say. She even felt it difficult

to breathe.

"Mr. Huo, Coco is still sick. Do you think it's appropriate to talk about this in front of him?" Leon

reminded Quarmy.

Quarmy took a look at Coco and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. Old Mrs. Gu got up and

said," Coco, let's go upstairs to play."

Although Coco was young, he knew that something was wrong, so he followed Old Mrs. Gu upstairs

obediently.

Leon, Monica, and Quarmy were the only ones left in the living room. Quarmy felt a sharp pain in his

heart when he looked at the two sitting together. He hated Leon for knowing Monica first. He hated

Monica for caring about Leon. Looking at the two sitting together like a perfect couple, he was really

upset. Leon patted Monica's hand to comfort her. "Mr. Huo, since you already know the truth, we have

to admit that Coco is indeed your child. However, Coco is sick now. You shouldn't have made trouble

like this. I hope you can take a step back and talk about it after Coco recovers."

"I can talk about it later. However, as Coco's father, I can't sit by and do nothing. Let me tell you, I will

get the best doctor for Coco. I'm willing to spend all of my money treating my son."

"Coco's illness has been well controlled. Now we're waiting for Moni to give birth to a child. The cord

blood can be used to cure Coco. I hope you can do what's best for Coco and let him stay here for

treatment."

"No problem! I'll stay with him." Quarmy was very straightforward.

"What about your company?" Monica asked.

"Compared with my son, the company is nothing."

"I mean, you'd better go back to Jiang City. I'll report Coco's illness to you everyday..."

"No!" Quarmy interrupted Leon. "I must stay with my son and take care of him! It can't be changed!"

"Quarmy, you really don't need to do this. It's not helpful for you to stay. Coco has accepted me as his

father now. Your stay will only make things more complicated."

"Are you afraid that I will separate you two? Don't worry, I won't." Quarmy's tone was full of sarcasm.

"But let me tell you, both Coco and Moni's next child are mine. I, Quarmy, will never let my children call

another man Dad!" "Quarmy, can't you be reasonable?" Monica was angry. "What right do you have to

make such a decision?"

"I'm Coco's father!"

"Father? How dare you say that? Who drove me out of the house that year? Since the moment you

abandoned me, my child and I have had nothing to do with you!" Monica retorted.

"Monica, I have explained that I was forced to do so!" Quarmy clenched his fists, and blue veins

appeared on his fists, which showed the pain in his heart. What happened at that time had been

torturing him. In the past few years, he had never felt at ease.

"So what? Does that make you innocent?" Monica wanted to control her emotions, but she failed.

"Monica, I know I'm wrong. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins. Can you forgive

me?"

"No!" Monica refused without hesitation. "Quarmy, not all the mistakes can be forgiven!"

"Don't push me!" Quarmy glared at Monica. "I've said that I won't let my children call another man Dad!"

"Apart from life, what have you given Coco? Mr. Huo, do you really have the face to be Coco's father?"

Leon reminded Quarmy again.

"I will try my best make up for it!" Quarmy repeated.

"But Coco won't let you do so. To him, you're just a stranger. He doesn't need your compensation!"

"Monica, you don't need my compensation, do you? As Coco's mother, what right do you have to

deprive me of my right to be Coco's father?"

"Your mother and your pregnant mistress forced me to leave you. Your mother pushed me, who was

pregnant, to the ground. When you came in, your cared about your mistress instead of me. After

leaving you, I rolled down from the mountain and broke my leg. My son and I were homeless because

of you. When Coco was sick, I called you but you refused me. Quarmy, I had countless reasons to

refuse you. How dare you question me?"

"I..." Quarmy looked at Monica and could not say anything. He knew that he had hurt Monica too

deeply and knew that he could not be forgiven. He was so sinful that he couldn't retort.

Though Quarmy became silent, Monica was still angry. Leon didn't feel sympathy for Quarmy at all. He

saw clearly what Monica had suffered.

Old Mrs. Gu, who was upstairs, had been observing the three of them. Noticing the silence, she came

out to ease the situation. "Moni, it's getting late. Take Coco to have a rest!"

Then she looked at Quarmy. "Mr. Huo, if you don't mind, you can stay here!"

"Grandma!" Monica and Leon shouted at the same time, apparently expressing their opposition. Old

Mrs. Gu waved her hand, indicating her grandson and Monica to calm down. Then, she ordered the

housekeeper to prepare a room for Quarmy.

The housekeeper stepped forward politely and said, "Mr. Huo, please come with me!"

Quarmy was very grateful to Old Mrs. Gu. "Thank you very much, Old Mrs. Gu!" Quarmy followed the

housekeeper and left. Leon looked at Old Mrs. Gu and complained, "Grandma, why did you ask him to

stay here?"

"Since Quarmy has come here, it's impossible for him to leave like this. Instead of letting him hate and

turn against us, we'd better be polite to him and then think of a way out." Old Mrs. Gu looked at Monica.

"This situation is not what we want. However, he's Coco father after all. If he takes Coco by force, the

consequences will be unimaginable."

Monica was silent. What Old Mrs Gu said made senses.

Monica walked into Coco's room. Coco was already asleep. She sighed and walked to the bedside to

tuck him in. Then she sat at the bedside and looked at his little face in a daze.

Quarmy would definitely not give up since he already knew the truth. Based on what he said just now,

he might continue to pester her. What should she do?

The door was gently pushed open, and Leon came in. Seeing Monica frown, he whispered to comfort

her. "Moni, don't worry, I'm here!"

Monica smiled at him. "Leon, thank you! Fortunately, you are here!"

"Quarmy is not a wicked person. He just can't accept it for a while. When he comes around, everything

will be fine!" Leon said.

"I know. Leon, you must be very tired after a busy day. Have some rest!" Looking at Leon's tired face,

Monica was very touched. Leon had been taking care of the company and Coco. He must have been

exhausted. Now that she was back, she was responsible for taking care of Coco.

"Well, I'm going to rest. You should rest early too!"

Not long after Leon left, Quarmy entered Coco's room. Seeing him, Monica looked defensive. She

asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Moni, I'm here to see our child." Quarmy's attitude was particularly good.

As he spoke, he sat down by the bed, looking at Coco with tender eyes. Monica wanted to drive him

away, but she was unable to do so. No matter what, Quarmy was indeed Coco's father. She had no

right to deprive him of his right to be a father.

Quarmy hadn't expected that he was actually the father of Monica' child. He didn't believe Mandy's

words at first, but now he was sure that Coco was his son!

Quarmy's trembling hand gently touched Coco's head. He lowered his head and gently kissed on

Coco's forehead. Son! His son! His heart was full of happiness and sorrow.

His son, who was supposed to be loved by his father and have nothing to worry about, had

experienced homelessness because of him. Moreover, his son was seriously ill at such a young age.

He carefully touched Coco's face again, as if Coco was his most precious treasure. Monica felt

distressed, so she stopped him. "Quarmy, don't wake him up!"

"I won't wake him up. Moni, I want to stay here with him tonight!" Quarmy begged in a low voice. "No!"

Monica shook her head.

"Moni, I am his biological father! Let me accompany him, please!" There was a lump in his voice. In the

past, he didn't know what Monica and Coco had suffered, but now he already knew the truth, how could

he let them suffer again? He understood Monica's hatred, and he had no reason to blame her.

What he had to do now was to make up for it as much as possible. He had to compensate Monica and

Coco. He would never let anyone hurt them again!

Monica refused, "Quarmy, I know what you're feeling now. It's just that Coco is still sick. I don't want

him to get excited, do you understand?"

"I understand. I will do nothing except guarding him. Is that okay?"

"No, you're just an outsider to Coco. He'll be surprised to see you when he wakes up." Monica paused

for a moment. "How do you want me to explain it to him then?"

Quarmy was a little annoyed. "He's still young, he won't have so many questions."

"Although he is young, he is very sensitive. I don't want him to know that you are his father. I am afraid

that he can't accept it." Monica bit her lips. Coco's illness was undoubtedly the best excuse. She hoped

that Quarmy would buy it. "I mean, you can't get close to him for the time being. When he recovers, I

will tell him that you are his biological father, and I won't stop you from visiting him. What do you think?"

"Sounds great, but I can't accept it!" Quarmy looked up at Monica. He was not a fool, so he naturally

knew that this was Monica's excuse to stop him from getting close to Coco. "I won't tell him I'm his

father for the time being, but I will stay here to take care of him. I wasn't a part of his life, so from now

on, I'm not going to miss a single moment!"

"You!" Monica's face changed. It seemed that he wouldn't leave. She naturally knew how stubborn he

was. This matter was really tricky.

Quarmy insisted on accompanying Coco. Monica had no choice but to go back to her room to rest. She

didn't sleep well this night and woke up early in the morning. When she got up, she went to Coco's

room and found that Quarmy was helping Coco get dressed. Coco didn't refuse Quarmy, but asked him

in a childish voice, "Uncle Huo, will you accompany me here in the future?"

"Yes! I will accompany you every day!"

Coco could not believe it. "You're not lying again, are you?"

"No! I will never lie to you again!" Quarmy answered very guiltily. Coco saw Monica at the door. "Mom,

Uncle Huo said that he would accompany me to the hospital today!"

Monica controlled herself and tried to come in with a smile. "Dear son, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No."

"Then let's have breakfast. We'll go to the hospital after that."

Quarmy insisted on following them to the hospital. Leon was driving. Quarmy sat in the back seat,

holding Coco in his arms and chatting with him. Coco did not resist Quarmy's approach at all. He was

very happy all the way. Monica frowned slightly and felt restless.

After the examination, Quarmy stayed to talk with the doctor for a long time. On the way back, Monica

held Coco in her arms. When they arrived the Gu family, Coco fell asleep. Monica put Coco on the bed.

When she walked out of the room, she saw Leon and Quarmy talking in the living room. Quarmy was

shameless. "Mr. Gu, thank you for taking care of my son. In the future, if you need me, I'll try me best to

help you!"

Leon smiled lightly. "Mr. Huo, you're too polite. It's my duty to take care of my fiancee and her child!"

Quarmy's face changed slightly. "She's not your fiancee yet. Mr. Gu, you'd better not make the

conclusion too early."

"I forgot to tell you that Moni and I will get married the day after tomorrow."

As soon as Leon finished speaking, Quarmy stood up. "I don't allow it!"

"Why?"

"Monica's children are mine!" Quarmy couldn't calm down.

Leon sneered. "I don't care!"

"Leon, you took advantage of my difficulties! You are not a gentleman!"

"Mr. Huo, this has nothing to do with being a gentleman, right?"

"Anyway, I won't allow you and Moni to get married. Never!"

"We'll see!" Leon turned a blind eye to Quarmy's anger. "Excuse me, I've got some business to take

care of!"

Quarmy watched Leon leave angrily. He muttered with some frustration, "Damn Leon, if it weren't for

your hard work in taking care of my wife and son, I would have beaten you to death!"

"Mr. Huo, how great you are!" Monica sneered. Quarmy turned his head and saw Monica. His face

suddenly turned red and he gave a hollow laugh. "Moni, has Coco fallen asleep?"

"Don't you know?" Monica glared at him. "Quarmy, I warn you, Leon and I will not be affected by you.

Stop dreaming!"

Quarmy's face turned pale again. Monica ignored him and went straight into the kitchen. She had to

make some porridge for Coco. He would be hungry when he woke up.

Quarmy stood in the living room for a while and shamelessly followed her in. "Moni, do you need my

help?"

"No!" Monica refused.

"Let me cut the meat. I'm good at cutting!" Quarmy reached out to take the kitchen knife.

"What a great man!" Monica sneered. Why had she not seen him make any porridge before?

Regardless of the sarcasm in her tone, Quarmy took the kitchen knife and was ready to cut the meat.

Seeing that he not skilled at all, Monica reached out and pushed him away. "Get out, don't slow me

down!" She gave him a lurch. The knife in his hand cut his finger and blood gushed out. Monica said

indifferently, "There is a medicine box in the living room. Go and bandage it yourself!"

Quarmy didn't move. He looked lonely and his blood dripped on the ground. He just looked at Monica.

Monica ignored him and continued to prepare ingredients. She had already found out that she couldn't

be polite to Quarmy. His self-esteem was so strong that he couldn't accept being left out in the cold.

A servant heard the sound and came over. When she saw Quarmy bleeding, she screamed, "Ah,

you're bleeding. Go and bind it up!"

As she spoke, she quickly went to

find hemostatics and gauze. Monica continued to do her own things. The servant brought in some

hemostatics and gauze to bind Quarmy up. Quarmy didn't move and just looked at Monica. He always

thought that Monica was the softest woman in the world. Now he knew that she was crueler than

anyone else.

However, he owed her. It was all his fault. No matter what, he must persevere. Perseverance meant

victory!

After the bandage, Quarmy returned to the kitchen door. This time, he did not come in. Instead, he

stood at the door and looked at Monica. Monica was a little scared by his gaze. When did this man

become like this?

When she was not at ease, Quarmy's phone rang. It was from Noah. "Mr. Huo, other than frequently

going to the hospital these days, there's nothing unusual about Madrigal!"

"Did you find out what she was doing in the hospital?"

"Yes. She was doing some gynecological tests."

"Gynecological tests?" Quarmy was stunned. "Keep an eye on her, and let me know if you find

anything important!"

Noah agreed. He told Quarmy, "Mary will come to the United States tomorrow."

"Got it!" Quarmy answered.

Jiang City.

Mary packed up her luggage and looked at Eva, who came to send her off. Mary didn't know when she

would come back. "Mom, I don't want to leave you!"

"Dear, I can't bear to part with you, either!" Eva's face showed reluctance. Mary was a big trouble, so

she had to get rid of her. But now, she still had to continue acting. "Mom will make time to visit you.

Besides, now that the network is so developed, we can often chat and see each other on the Internet."

Eva's comfort reduced Mary's reluctance. They went out to the airport together. Eva was driving. Along

the way, she kept reminding Mary to take care of herself, as if she were a kind mother. When they

arrived the airport. Eva accompanied Mary to complete the boarding procedure and reluctantly sent

Mary to the departure lounge.

As soon as Mary left, the reluctance on Eva's face disappeared. Eva quickly walked out of the airport.

After getting into the car, she called someone, "She's coming soon. Get ready! Remember, don't leave

any evidence!"

The plane arrived in the United States after more than ten hours. When Mary walked out of the airport,

a Chinese man looked at the photo in his hand and greeted her. "Are you Miss Tian?"

"Who are you?" Mary was confused.

"I am your mother Eva's friend, Denny. She asked me to pick you up!" The man's face was full of

smiles. He accurately knew Eva's name, so Mary believed him and followed him out of the airport.

Denny took the luggage from her very solicitously. They walked out of the airport while chatting. Soon,

Denny drove Mary to a private villa.

There was a swimming pool in the villa, which looked very luxurious. Mary was touched. She had to

admit that Eva was really good to her. Everything was arranged properly, including food, clothing,

housing, and transportation.

Denny pointed to the room upstairs and told Mary, "This is your room. You can take a shower and have

a rest. I'll ask the servants to prepare dinner."

Mary thanked him and entered the room. She didn't take a bath, but picked up the phone and was

ready to call Eva. Only then did she find that her phone was out of power, but there was not charger in

her suitcase. Mary patted her head with chagrin. She was really too careless.

She opened the door and was going to borrow a charger from Denny. The villa was bright, but she

couldn't see anyone on the second floor. She didn't know where Denny was, so she had to look for him

room by room. Finally, she heard a voice coming from a room. She walked over.

The door was half closed. Denny was making a phone call inside. "She's hot, bro. She's even more

beautiful than Eva."

"It's true. The first time I saw her, I was surprised. I think you've been tired of having sex with foreign

women so I decide to leave her for you as a gift. With such a beautiful girl, you won't be lonely."

"Yes, yes! After getting tired of her, we can sell her to the brothel. Anyway, Eva won't know whether we

have killed her as she asked. This is a good thing for us. We can not only take Eva's money, but also

enjoy a beautiful woman for free..."

"You're coming here? Good! I'll do as you say! Bye!"

Mary was not a fool. She could tell that something was wrong from the conversation just now. At this

moment, Denny turned around. When he saw Mary standing at the door, he was stunned, and his fake

smile disappeared at once.

"Who the hell are you?"

"A man!" He came over with a sinister smile. "Little beauty, since you've heard it, I won't hide it from

you. I'm not a friend of your mother. I was hired to kill you. You're beautiful so I decided to spare your

life. You have to thank me."

Mary's legs trembled. She was completely shocked. "Why?"

"How would I know?" Denny sneered. "My bro will be here soon. You'd better be obedient. If he is

happy, you won't suffer, otherwise..."

That was terrible! Before he could finish, Mary turned around and ran away. Denny chased after her.

Mary stumbled and was soon caught by Denny. "Son of a b*tch!" He slapped on Mary's face.

Mary bared her teeth in pain. She struggled desperately and shouted for help. Denny stretched out his

hand to cover her mouth and dragged her upstairs. Mary knew that she was in danger, so reached out

her hand to snatch Denny's face and kicked him. Then, she accidentally kicked his thing.

Denny was so painful that he let go of her. Mary took the opportunity to rush out! When she ran out of

the villa, a car drove into the villa.

After rushing out of the villa, Mary ran wildly on the street. The street at night was so cold that she

could see no one. She was scared and desperate. She just wanted to get out of this dangerous place

as soon as possible.

At the same time, Nine drove the car to the villa. He stopped the car and rushed into the villa, only to

see Denny lying on the ground groaning. Nine's heart sank. "Where is she?"

"She ran away! Bro, chase her!"

Before Denny could finish his words, Nine turned to leave. Soon, he started the car to chase Mary. Very

few people lived around here, and it was cold at night. Mary ran while calling for help, but she still

couldn't see anyone.

The huge fear made Mary keep running forward. Nine drove out for a distance and didn't find anyone.

He thought that it was impossible for Mary to run so fast, so he immediately turned around. Soon, he

found Mary. Mary was running aimlessly. Suddenly, a beam of bright light covered her. She turned back

quickly in shock. Not far away from her, a car was speeding up to her. In the dazzling light, she could

clearly see the driver—a man with a grim smile and a scar on his face.

The sudden appearance of the car made Mary stop thinking. She didn't dodge, and she didn't have

ability to dodge. She just watched the car coming towards her. She felt that her body flew up and then

fell heavily on the ground. The intense pain quickly made her lose consciousness and fall into the

endless darkness.

Nine got out of the car and walked to Mary. When he found that she was not breathing, he quickly took

out his mobile phone to take a picture. Then he turned around and left.

A few minutes later, Eva received a text message. When she saw the bloody body on the screen, she

was shocked. She immediately deleted the photo and put her palms together to pray silently, "I was

forced to do it. Goodbye!"

After silently praying for a while, most of the fear and uneasiness in her heart disappeared. She turned

on the computer and transferred a large sum of money to an account. Everything happened quietly.

When Leon finished his business and was about to go home, his phone rang. The person who called

him was the manager of one of his factories. He told Leon that there was an accident in the factory and

asked Leon to go there right away!

Leon was shocked. He immediately got up and rushed to the factory. He was anxious all the way, and

he kept telling the driver to drive faster. When they passed a quiet street, the driver suddenly

exclaimed, "Boss, look." The driver slammed on the brakes. Leon looked over and was also shocked.

There was a woman covered with blood on the road less than two meters away from them. "Let's go

check it out!" Leon reacted first and opened the car door.

"She doesn't seem to be breathing." The driver carefully turned over the woman's head. When Leon

saw her face, he was shocked. "Why is it her?"

"Do you know her?"

"Yes! Her body is still warm. Let's send her to the hospital first!" Leon ordered.

Leon didn't care about the blood stains on Mary and carried her to the car with the driver. The driver

started the car and drove to the hospital. When they arrived the nearby hospital, the doctor rushed to

send Mary into the operating room. Leon looked at the watch and ordered the driver to wait in the

hospital, and then he drove to the factory.

Along the way, he had been very uneasy. He had met the woman once. A few years ago, he went to

Jiang City to attend a meeting. He was late to the meeting because of the traffic jam. At that time, he

rushed out of the special elevator under the escort of his subordinates in a hurry, but he didn't expect

that there was a person standing outside. Then, he knocked the person to the ground.

He was startled and stopped in time. He found that the person was a woman. He quickly stepped

forward to help her, but he was more shocked when he saw her face clearly. She was beautiful, but the

most important thing was that she was somewhat similar to Monica. He was stunned at that time.

The woman who was knocked to the ground by him began to cry because of the pain. Leon was a little

embarrassed. "Are you hurt? Let me take you to the hospital."

One of his subordinates hurriedly reminded him, "Mr. Gu, it's getting late. They're all waiting for you.

Leave it to me!" Leon remembered that he was here for a meeting. After a moment of hesitation, he

handed the matter over to his subordinate.

Later, after the meeting, he asked about that woman. His subordinate told him that she did not go to the

hospital. She said that she was busy and left.

The matter passed and Leon no longer paid attention to it. What he didn't expect was that he would

meet her again in America, and she was seriously injured.

While he was thinking, he arrived the factory. Leon got out of the car and hurried into the factory.
