Chapter 1614
Chloe had nowhere to hide, and she watched as Yasmine threw a pile of snacks directly into the trash.
“Chloe, when did you become such a rascal? I never noticed you indulging in junk food before. Now that you’re
pregnant, you suddenly forgot about dietary restrictions? Don’t you know that these greasy, preserved foods are
bad for you? Can’t you take some responsibility for yourself and your babies?!”
Chloe sat on the couch, obediently listening to Yasmine’s lecture Who said she didn’t have a sweet tooth before?
She and Rose used to devour spicy chicken wings and hot dogs back in school. How could she let Yasmine know
about that? It was just that later on, she had to maintain her figure and prevent acne, so she had to restrain herself
a bit.
“I think I still have some self–control, but lately. I just crave them so much”
Bryson stood to the side, with a cheerful smile on his face, radiating a kind and benevolent demeanor c2
“Alright, Mrs Yasmine, now that Miss. Chloe’s pregnant with two, it’s normal to crave some snacks. I remember
when you were pregnant, you
weren’t much better
Chloe felt as if she had an ally and nodded repeatedly. “Exactly, I’m carrying two. It’s not that I want to eat, it’s
them who want to eat
Yasmine gave Chloe a sidelong glance, “When did you become so cheeky?Who spoiled you like this?”
Chloe pouted, “Did 17”
“I can see you’re going to ruin yourself sooner or later. It’s all because of that irresponsible Damon, he spoiled you
rotten, so you can’t live without him. Then he can do whatever he wants, and you have no way to stop him. I’m
telling you, when that day comes, you will surely regret it
“Aren’t you still here with me?” Chloe laughed and sat down next to Yasmine. “With you backing me up, what do I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthave to worry about?”
Yasmine huffed, and the concealed smile on her face only lasted for a short while “So, were you scared when you
were all alone back then?”
Chloe’s eyes gradually dimmed. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent. Bryson looked at Chloe with
pity in his eyes Back then, she was just a teenager. Abandoned by the Summers family and left abroad for three
years, nobody knew what she went through during those
times
Betrayed time and time again, enduring unimaginable hardships at such a young age, how could she not be
scared?
Chloe didn’t say a word, but in Yasmine’s heart, there was a surge of guilt and helplessness “You can blame me for
leaving you alone back then”
Chloe shook her head, “I don’t blame you.” Her voice was light as a feather, indeed without a hint of reproach “As
long as you’re alive, that’s all
that matters”
Yasmine s expression shifted, her heart filling with bitter sweetness
Bryson’s eyes also started to well up. “Alright, the past is the past, we’re all fine now, and that’s all that matters.”
Chloe gave a faint smile. “Mmm. It would be even better if I could have more snacks in the future.”
Yasmine was silent for a moment, then gave her a sidelong glance. “Dream on”
Chloe laughed softly, feeling that even with the daily scolding, life was full of happiness.
“I have something to show you,” said Yasmine
“Hmm?”
Bryson stood next to Yasmine, smiling at Chloe. “Its absolutely a big surprise.”
Chloe watched Yasmine intently
Yasmine took a deep breath, her hands slowly gripping the armrests of her wheelchair, her face gradually
becoming serious. This action made the slight smile in Chice’s eyes fade away. She watched Yasmine nervously. Her
hands, resting on her lap, involuntarily trembled and eventually
clenched into fists
Yasmine closed her eyes, took another deep breath, then began to exert force with her arms.
Chloe’s heart seemed to stop beating at that moment. She held her breath and her eyes were fixed intensely on
Yasmine.
Later, Yasmine carefully moved both her feet from the footrests of the wheelchair to the ground, then with a tense
expression, she exerted effort and slowly began to detach herself from the wheelchair, one step at a time
The movement was incredibly slow, Chloe could see Yasmine’s arms shaking violently it took about five or six
minutes, which felt like an eternity Sweat trickled down Yasmines pale face her teeth clenched, her body trembling.
Chloe didn’t dare to move at all until Yasmine finally stood up in front of her. Her legs and her whole body trembled,
as if she might collapse at any moment
slightly bent, her posture was somewhat awkward,
Tears welled up in Chloe’s eyes, she let out her breath with a sob She covered her mouth watching Yasmine
hunched over in front of her, tears of joy streaming down her face
“Mom
Yasmine gritted her teeth and managed to stand for a few seconds longer before her legs began to shake violently.
Her body went limp and she
looked as though she was about to fall. Chloe quickly got up and caught her just in time. In the process, her knee hit

A dull pain shot through her knee. After safely placing Yasmine back into her wheelchair, she bent over and held her
knee. Her face immediately turned pale
“Miss Chloe!” Bryson was shocked. He quickly went over to her and helped her up. “Are you okay?”
Chloe bit her lip and shook her head, “I’m fine.”
“That’s not okay at all. You hit your knee, and that pain is all over your body. You are pregnant. This might…”
Bryson spoke anxiously. There were many cases of pregnant women miscarrying due to severe pain.
Yasmine’s complexion hadn’t recovered from the exertion yet, and now it turned even paler. The possibility of a
miscarriage brought back her own painful experience from decades ago. The sudden loss had almost broken her
“Bryson, call the ambulance “Yasmine’s voice was noticeably shaky and anxious.
This was a situation Bryson had rarely seen in all these years. He immediately replied, pulling out his phone to dial
911 in haste.
Chloe indeed felt pain all over her body. Being pregnant for the first time, Bryson’s words made her even more
terrified. She held her belly, fearing any negative impact on the babies inside her.
Everything had to be okay. It had to be
Nate’s legs went weak when he saw the ambulance take Chloe away. In the midst of his panic, he rushed to the
hospital with Chloe, ensuring she got the best care possible
When he saw Chloe being taken into the examination room, he was about to call Damon but was stopped by Chloe.
“Don’t tell him yet. Let’s wait until after the examination.”
Nate hesitated.
Chloe had regained her composure by now and simply said. “Let’s wait for the results first. Her tone was indifferent,
but her resolve was undeniable
Nate could only nod in agreement.
She didn’t want to trouble Damon unless she absolutely had to.
