Chapter 1614

Chloe had nowhere to hide, and she watched as Yasmine threw a pile of snacks directly into thetrash.

“Chloe, when did you become such a rascal? I never noticed you indulging in junk food before. Nowthat you’re pregnant, you suddenly forgot about dietary restrictions? Don’t you know that thesegreasy, preserved foods are bad for you? Can’t you take some responsibility for yourself and yourbabies?!”

Chloe sat on the couch, obediently listening to Yasmine’s lecture Who said she didn’t have a sweettooth before? She and Rose used to devour spicy chicken wings and hot dogs back in school. Howcould she let Yasmine know about that? It was just that later on, she had to maintain her figure andprevent 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 benevolentdemeanor c2

“Alright, Mrs Yasmine, now that Miss. Chloe’s pregnant with two, it’s normal to crave some snacks. Iremember 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 wantto eat, it’s them who want to eat

Yasmine gave Chloe a sidelong glance, “When did you become so cheeky?Who spoiled you likethis?”

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 youhave 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 meup, what do I have to worry about?”

Yasmine huffed, and the concealed smile on her face only lasted for a short while “So, were youscared when you were all alone back then?”

Chloe’s eyes gradually dimmed. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent. Brysonlooked at Chloe with pity in his eyes Back then, she was just a teenager. Abandoned by theSummers 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 couldshe not be scared?

Chloe didn’t say a word, but in Yasmine’s heart, there was a surge of guilt and helplessness “Youcan 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 ofreproach “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 allthat 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 facegradually becoming serious. This action made the slight smile in Chice’s eyes fade away. Shewatched 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 fixedintensely 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 thewheelchair, one step at a time

The movement was incredibly slow, Chloe could see Yasmine’s arms shaking violently it took aboutfive or six minutes, which felt like an eternity Sweat trickled down Yasmines pale face her teethclenched, her body trembling.

Chloe didn’t dare to move at all until Yasmine finally stood up in front of her. Her legs and her wholebody 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 watchingYasmine 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 toshake 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 theprocess, her knee hit the comer of the coffee

table.

A dull pain shot through her knee. After safely placing Yasmine back into her wheelchair, she bentover 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. Thismight…”

Bryson spoke anxiously. There were many cases of pregnant women miscarrying due to severepain.

Yasmine’s complexion hadn’t recovered from the exertion yet, and now it turned even paler. Thepossibility of a miscarriage brought back her own painful experience from decades ago. The suddenloss 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 outhis phone to dial 911 in haste.

Chloe indeed felt pain all over her body. Being pregnant for the first time, Bryson’s words made hereven 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, herushed 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 wasstopped 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 tonewas indifferent, but her resolve was undeniable

Nate could only nod in agreement.

She didn’t want to trouble Damon unless she absolutely had to.
