Eugene’s mind went nk, and he was unable to react.

    It was not until Yvonne reminded Mnie about it that she turned away with Merry in her arms.


    Merry had stopped crying. She leaned into Mnie’s arms and rested her head on Mnie’s shoulder


    as she sniffled quietly.


    Eugene had seen Merry clearly. She was an adorable child. Merry was fair and chubby, and she had


    Mnie’s eyes.


    It took Eugene a while to find his voice. His throat was tight, and he sounded hoarse. “Is this your baby,


    Mnie?”


    Mnie’s heart sank. She had been so busy trying to cajole Merry that she had totally forgotten about


    Eugene.


    She paused for a moment with Merry in her hand before forcing herself to calm down. “Yes, she is.”


    “You…” Eugene tried to say something, but nothing came out. He closed his eyes with aplicated


    look on his face.


    It took him a while to finally ask in a hoarse voice, “Was your miscarriage a lie?”


    Mnie looked at him coldly. “Are you disappointed? I’ve said it many times, Eugene. This baby has


    nothing to do with you. If you or any of the Scotts dare to hurt my daughter, I’ll do everything in my


    power to make you pay for it!”


    She said this savagely. She had Merry now. Mnie would do everything she could to make those who


    hurt Merry pay for it.

    There were no emotions on Eugene’s face, but he did not seem as distant as before. He looked


    flustered and in a daze.


    Eugene had no idea what to feel or what to do. All he could do was stare at Mnie and Merry.


    For some reason, Eugene’s heart started beating very fast when he saw Merry. His heart felt heavy


    when he saw her cry.


    He moved forward as he wanted to take a closer look at the child, but a hand came in his way.


    Yvonne said grimly, “You’re not wee here. All of you should leave.”


    She looked at Mnie after that. Mnie went straight into the hospital ward. There was nothing much


    to exin.


    Yvonne closed the door. She asked Mnie after she saw everyone leave, “What should we do now?”


    Mnie had not expected this to happen so suddenly. She said, “I’m taking Merry back to Nava.”


    Even though this was not the best n, she had to make do with it for now.

    Before they could leave, Merry suddenly came down with a fever in the evening.


    The doctor told them that it was caused by a minor infection to her wound, and Merry had to stay a


    night at the hospital so that they could observe her situation. Mnie was forced to stay back.


    Yvonne went out and came back with dinner. She felt even guiltier. “Merry wouldn’t have had to suffer if


    it wasn’t for me. I’m really sorry that I insisted on getting my item back when it wasn’t anything


    important at all.”


    “It’s not your fault. No one expected Timothy Harmon to be there,” Mnie said. Merry had just fallen


    asleep after being given an injection, and she spoke softly.


    Yvonne looked upset at the mention of Timothy. She had just stepped outside to give her friend a call


    about him. She found out that Timothy’s family was rich and powerful. He often went around causing


    trouble.


    He had appeared on the gossip pages several times, but his family always used their wealth to make


    his troubles go away.


    This time, it was the Quinnds who bailed him out.


    Mnie was not surprised. She did not want to continue harping over this after finding out about


    Timothy’s mental issue.


    If he decided to get revenge one day, it would be terrible if Merry got implicated.


    She had to admit that she did not dare to anger Timothy.


    Merry needed someone by her side. When Yvonne went off to buy some necessities for washing up,


    Xander called her on the phone.


    Mnie looked at the time. It was morning where Xander was.
