Chapter 817 Daddy and Mommy Live Apart

During lunchtime, Vivian pointed to the pile of gifts in the corner after finishing her meal with a hint of reluctance.

"Mommy, are you really not going to open these gifts?"

"No, I'm not," Jane replied calmly and continued eating with her head down.

She didn't want any of Louis' gifts.

Later on, she would return all those gifts back to him untouched.

Vivian blinked her eyes upon hearing this and looked at those presents. She couldn't resist asking again, "Mommy, aren't you curious about what's inside those boxes?"

Jane raised her head slightly and looked at Vivian sitting across from her with narrowed eyes.

"Have you met him before?"

"No." Vivian immediately shook her head and tried to distance herself from her father. "I've been here with Mommy all this time. I haven't even left the hospital room. How could I have seen Daddy?"

Jane frowned but eventually dismissed any doubts she had when she realized that Vivian hadn't seen that man since she was admitted into the hospital, let alone partnered up with him for anything.

But then why was Vivian always defending him? Jane wondered as confusion filled her eyes.

However, as soon as she thought about how much Vivian relied on Louis due to her memory loss, it made sense why Vivian would speak up for him. As a child who wanted nothing more than for their parents to reconcile, it was only natural for Vivian to do so.

But Jane knew that there was no going back between them anymore... They couldn't go back in time like before... The woman lowered her gaze and remained silent for a moment before suddenly speaking softly, "If your daddy and I were living separately now, who would you rather live with?"

Vivian froze in place upon hearing this question.

Daddy living separately from Mommy?

Things must have gotten very serious...

She looked up at Jane, then approached cautiously while grabbing onto Jane's hand tightly.

"I want to live with you, Mommy, because you need my protection."

Jane pursed her lips slightly, feeling relieved by what Vivian said.

It was clear that it would be better for Vivian to live with her than Louis.

Besides, she and Louis were going to divorce, and her daughter would have nothing to do with him.

Meanwhile, in another ward, Louis sat pale-faced leaning against his bedpost...

Yesterday's drinking had caused his wound to become infected. After seeing Vivian, he lost consciousness again for a while before gradually waking up.

As soon as he woke up, he raised his hand and called for the guard standing at the door.

"Sir."

The guard stood in front of the bed, bowing respectfully.

Louis opened his lips and spoke in a hoarse voice that echoed throughout the hospital room--

"Has everything been sent over?"
