Scarlett's POV:
"Scarlett, I'm so sorry. I couldn't get through to you before. Nina and I thought that you had already boarded the plane. Fortunately, she was cautious enough to find out that something was wrong and called Spencer. Only then did we find out that you are in the hospital."
Abner looked at me with guilt in his eyes.
"It's alright, Abner. I'm very happy that you came to see me."
Tears rolled down my cheeks as I held James in my arms.
James looked at me and whispered, "Mom."
I smiled brightly and said, "James, you're such a good boy! I missed you a lot."
"Mom, please don't cry."
He then raised his hand and wiped away my tears. I was touched by his soft and kind gesture.
I had feared that I might never see him again.
And that desperate feeling had made me feel like I was a zombie walking the earth lifelessly.
However, God showed mercy on my by letting Nina bring my son to see me.
A hint of satisfaction filled my empty heart as I held James.
"Scarlett, get better soon. Everyone at the TV station is waiting for you to come back to the show." Abner's eyes were red, but he pretended to be calm.
The show?
I was in a trance for a moment. Thinking of my work and my dreams, I felt as though a century had passed since I last thought of them.
I was silent for a while before I wiped away my tears, trying to pull myself together.
"I'm sorry, Abner, but I am afraid that I won't be able to go back to that life anymore."
"What are you even talking about? You're the one that came up with the program, so you are more than qualified to continue it," he insisted.
Without saying more, I lowered my head quietly. "Scarlett, you have to come back. While you were gone, a lot of negative news about pregnant women has been exposed. The purpose of our program is to show more people the hardships of pregnant women. Not all pregnant women are pampered and fragile. Some are quite independent and powerful. And I believe that you need to set an example for the rest of us." Nina's words pierced through my heart like a sharp dagger.
The dreams I had were rekindled again, and I felt the urge to continue my work.
"I get what you mean and I will think about it."
I know that they persuade me to get back to work so that I could get out of my toxic relationship.
"Why did you bring the kid here?" Charles asked coldly.
"What? Are you angry, Mr. Moore? And is it really because we brought him to his mother? Don't worry. Alice has sent eight bodyguards to protect him, so no one is going to be able to kidnap him," Nina complained in a cold and disdainful voice.
"How could I be angry? Even if you had not brought him here, I would have found time to bring him to see Scarlett," Charles explained with a frown.
I sneered in my heart. There was no way for me to believe anything that he said.
If he really cared about my feelings, then he would not have cruelly taken the twins away from me.
He was only saying such words in front of Nina and Abner to make himself seem like the perfect husband and father.
"Then Mr. Moore, you and I feel the same way," Nina sneered.
Charles didn't retort this time, and ignoring him, Nina raised her hand to stroke my hair.
"Scarlett, summer is almost over now. Your exposed neck will make you vulnerable to cold. Why did you cut your hair short?"
I was stunned for a moment before I said with a smile, "I just wanted to try a new hairstyle. It's okay. I'll pay attention to my health and keep myself warm."
"Mr. Moore, do you still remember that Scarlett got beat up and almost ended up becoming disabled last year?"
All of a sudden, Charles's pupils shrank and he frowned. He glared at Nina, who did not look away at all.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, Mr. Moore. It's understandable that a noble rich man like you intends to forget such a trifle considering your busy life. However, you seem to have taken Nancy back to the Moore mansion. Are you planning on divorcing Scarlett?"
I sometimes really admired Nina's courage for having the guts to provoke a devil like Charles.
"No, I won't," Charles said indifferently.
