Chapter 1476


    Over the years, Harper had always been Vanessa'' side. She knew how eager Vanessa was to find


    the man who defiled her and bring him to justice.


    Now that Jonathan was not the perpetrator, Harper knew that they would have to start all over


    again. However, none of them knew where to start. Harper thought that Vanessa would have been


    devastated, so she said, "Vanessa, I want you to know that I''m always here for you. Don''t keep


    everything to yourself, okay?"


    Vanessa said, "Don''t worry about me, Miss Young. I''m really fine. Since he''s not the one, we''ll just


    keep looking. I believe that we will definitely find that man one day and bring him to justice."


    Upon receiving Vanessa''s reassurance, Harper was relieved. "Vanessa, it''s good that you can think


    this way. That man will definitely get what he deserves one day. Also, if you need my help, please


    do not hesitate to give me a call, okay?"


    Vanessa nodded. "Okay. Thanks, Miss Young!"


    Back then, Vanessa had fallen into Fiona Cobb''s wicked scheme and was pregnant with Lawrie. Not


    only that, Fiona even forced her to give up on the child. Hence, in a fit of anger, Vanessa decided to


    run away from home and cut all ties with her family.


    After Lawrie was born, he had always been in poor health. However, it didn''t catch Vanessa''s


    attention at all. It was until one day that Lawrie was suddenly down with high fever. Hence, she


    quickly brought Lawrie to the local hospital only to find out that Lawrie was suffering from


    leukaemia.


    From then on, Vanessa only had one goal, that was to make money to treat Lawrie''s leukemia.


    Over the years, in order to provide Lawrie with a good life and to treat his illness, Vanessa had once


    worked three jobs and would sleep less than three hours a day. Fortunately, there were helpful


    people like Harper Young and Winnie Zir who came into her life. They were always there for her


    when she was at her hardest.


    Lawrie was not born into aplete family nor did he have a healthy body. At such a young age, he


    had to go through hardships which many people could not withstand. However, Vanessa was very


    optimistic. She believed that the gods would definitely make it up to him in the future for having to


    suffer so much when he was young.


    ording to Mencius, a Chinese Confucian philosopher, when heaven is about to confer a great


    responsibility on any man, it will exercise his mind with suffering, subject his sinews and bones to


    hard work, expose his body to hunger, put him to poverty, ce obstacles in the paths of his deeds,


    so as to stimte his mind, harden his nature, and improve wherever he is ipetent.


    After calming herself down, Vanessa walked out of the ward to see Julien. She saw that Julien was


    sitting on the sofa with his legs gracefully crossed. He was staring into the space, as if he was


    thinking about something.


    Vanessa looked at him for a while before walking up to him. "Mr. Kyle, thank you for letting Lawrie


    stay in such a nice ward."


    Previously, Lawrie was staying in a normal ward, with two other patients in the same ward. Apart


    from the patients, there were also their family members who were there to keep thempany.


    Hence, the ward was usually crowded, and it was nothing like this VIP ward, which was like a


    service apartment.


    Julien put his leg down and turned to look at


    Vanessa. He said, "Is that all I get?"


    Vanessa asked, "What do you want then?"


    Julien added, "Would you do whatever I want then?"


    Vanessa answered, "I''ll try my best to make money and pay you back."


    Julien added, "Huh... I''m afraid that you won''t be able to pay me back even if you were to work for


    the rest of your life."


    Vanessa was speechless.


    He was the one who paid for everything, of course he could say anything he liked. Moreover, Julien


    wouldn''t actually do anything to her anyway, so she would just let him feel good by letting him say


    whatever he wanted then.


    Julien said, "There are some rumors and nastyments going around the Inte. You should


    just ignore them. I will have my men to deal with it."

    Vanessa sat beside Julien and sneered, "I saw the news a while ago. Those people must have


    nothing better to do in life."


    Julien was slightly astonished. "Aren''t you angry?"


    Vanessa said with a smile, "It''s a fact that I have a child out of wedlock, so why should I be angry?


    What''s more, they said that I have seduced you and it''s the truth too, so I have no reasons to be


    angry."


    Julien replied, "No, they''re wrong. You didn''t seduce me. I was the one who was trying to seduce


    you all this while."


    Vanessa shrugged. She said with an indifferent look on her face. "They are the same thing, aren''t


    they?"


    Julien said, "Of course not."


    Vanessa looked at Julien and suddenly changed the subject. "Mr. Kyle, it doesn''t matter what others


    say about me. Then again, the reason why they looked into my past was you."


    Julien was not surprised that Vanessa had managed to grasp the gist of this entire incident. He had


    always known that Vanessa was a smart person ever since he met her in school. She understood


    how the world works better than anyone else.


    Julien said, "Tell me about it then."


    Vanessa continued, "There are countless women who had children without getting married and I''m


    just one of them. If it wasn''t because I''m your fiancee, no one will ever pay any attention to me.


    They wanted to expose me not because they wanted to destroy me, but you. They wanted to use


    this matter to destroy you."


    Julien said with a smile, "Do you think that they have the ability to destroy me?"


    "Julien, you really shouldn''t take this matter lightly." Vanessa red at him and said solemnly, "We


    all know that a few people can''t do anything to you, but what if there are a lot of people behind this?


    If they continue to spread all these negative news about you, more people are going to join in to


    attack you."


    Julien nodded in satisfaction. "Yeah. Well, you''re analysing the whole situation very well. Go on."


    "What do you mean by that? I''m telling you all these so that you will take this matter seriously."


    Vanessa was very worried that Julien would get hurt because of this matter. Through her tone and


    words, Julien could tell that Vanessa was concerned about him. "You should understand better than


    me that in this digital age, the public''s opinion is something that we shouldn''t take lightly. People


    with malicious intentions may use this against you and you won''t know how bad things will turn out."


    Julien curled his lips into a faint smile. "Are you worried about me?"


    Julien''s light- hearted behaviour made Vanessa roar in anger, "If I''m not worried about you, why am


    I exining all these to you? Do you think I have nothing else better to do?"


    At that instant, Julien stretched out his long arms and pulled Vanessa into his embrace. "With you


    worrying about me, no one will be able to hurt me."


    He would not let anyone hurt her. He would live a long life to protect the people he wanted to


    protect.


    Vanessa was somewhat speechless. "Julien, I''m here to talk about serious matters. Can you please


    be a little more serious?"


    Julien said, "I''m being serious here."


    Vanessa did not know what else she could say.
