Jolie was a new maid who hadn’t been assigned a specific position yet. Marie simply mentioned to Edward that she would like Jolie to take care of her daily meals and living arrangements, Edward agreed without hesitation.

Jolie happily followed behind Marie, asking, “Ms. Spence, you’ve really lost a lot of weight, haven’t you?” 

“Being thin is not enough, I need to exercise and improve my physical fitness, as it used to be really poor,” Marie said. 

“Is Ms. Spence going to the gym outside?” Jolie asked. 

“No, I signed up for a one–on–one kickboxing training session, I’m going to that,” Marie said. 

“Ms. Spence, you must have learned something really cool!” Jolie exclaimed. 

Marie chuckled, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jaycee approaching. She immediately turned around, leaning against a tree, and began to dry heave. 

Jolie was terrified and anxiously asked, “Ms. Spence, what’s wrong?” 

Marie covered her belly, gave her a look, and scolded sharply, “Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid others won’t know?” 

Jolie immediately fell silent, supporting Marie with one hand and patting her back to help her catch her breath. She asked, “Ms. Spence, do you need to go to the hospital?” 

“Go ahead… go to the hospital tomorrow… get it done, or else, there will be no place for me in the Spence family…” Marie said, choking back tears. 

Jaycee saw all of this and quietly went to Mia’s room to tell her everything. 

Mia lifted the corners of her mouth in delight, “You little brat, let’s see what you can use to snatch away our mother–daughter belongings!” 

Mia asked Jaycee to leave the room first, then made a phone call, saying, “I need you to find two 

people to keep an eye on Marie. No matter where she goes, I want to see photos!” 

Marie, soon I will bring about your complete downfall! 

The next day, Marie and Jolie left the house and headed to the hospital. As they wandered around 

inside, they accidentally bumped into someone without paying attention. 

Marie quickly apologized, “I’m sorry for bumping into you. Are you alright?” 

“It’s alright.” The man’s gentle voice resounded.

Marie looked up and saw a man wearing a white lab coat and gold–rimmed glasses. His facial features were gentle and smooth, like jade. 

“Ms. Spence, this is Dr. Hart,” Jolie reminded her. 

“Who?” Marie asked, looking completely baffled. 

“Dr. Hart, you know, the young prodigy from that prestigious medical family in our country? He’s already a professor at such a young age!” Jolie, who frequented the hospital to take care of her mother, had heard a thing or two about him. 

“Oh… I’ve never heard of it…” Marie muttered. 

Gavin: “” 

— 

“Gavin, what are you doing?” Marie heard a familiar voice and turned around to see Dennis approaching from behind. 

Still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his presence seemed to lower the temperature around him. Despite his delicate features, his face remained expressionless, making him appear rather cold and unapproachable. 

“Not much…” Gavin reached out his hand to Marie: “Hello, my name is Gavin Hart.” 

Marie reached out her hand for a handshake and said, “Hello, Marie.” 

She recalled that day when Dennis took her back to the hotel and had Cullen find a doctor named Gavin. Was this the same person? 

“Let’s go if there’s nothing else,” Dennis said coldly, not even glancing at Marie, as if they were strangers to each other. 

“Alright.” Gavin turned around, ready to leave. 

Marie was upset. Why did Dennis think he could just come to her house whenever he wanted, try to get along with her, and now suddenly decide to ignore her? 

“I have something to say!” Marie exclaimed loudly. 

Gavin turned around and saw Marie clenching her fists, staring angrily at Dennis’s retreating figure. Her big eyes were filled with frustration and defiance. 

“What’s the matter with Ms. Spence?” Gavin asked. 

“I’m sick!” Marie blurted out.
