Josephine cried out, "Ah!"

"We haven't even started yet, why are you screaming?"

"Get lost. Can't you be a bit more serious?"

That night, Jay embraced Angeline all throughout. Perhaps it was because Angeline was in his arms that he found it much easier to analyze many things with great rationality. He was searching for a way out of his current predicament.

Finally, Jay made up his mind. No matter how much Angeline pushed him away when she woke up later, he would remain stubborn about staying by her side.

In his words, "Baby, I don't have the courage to lose you, so I've decided to stay with you. Don't push me away. I won't be angry at you anymore. I'll do everything you say, okay?

"I'll take you away and isolate you from all your worries. Will you be happier that way?"

Angeline was as light as a swallow. She was so light that it felt like she might fly away from Jay's arms by accident.

Jay could feel a stabbing pain in his heart when he realized Angeline's dramatic weight loss and her increasingly muddled consciousness. That made him

even more afraid of leaving her alone.

Early next morning.

Angeline was in such a deep sleep that Jay was afraid to even move an inch for fear that he would wake her. When he saw her sunken eyes and prominent dark circles, he knew that she was very much sleep- deprived.

He would let her get more rest if she could.

Unfortunately, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the ward.

Zayne was first heard roaring furiously. "Bandits! Bandits! The Yorks really do live up to their reputation as bandits, huh? You'd better listen up. Dawn belongs to Sis Shirley. His last name is Severe, so he has nothing to do with the Yorks at all. Want to take him away? Not a chance."

There was an obscure expression on Jay's face. It was obvious that the Severes and Yorks were here for Dawn, though neither party would expect to bump into each other. It looked like a battle to fight for Dawn was about to break out.

Jay did not want to meddle in their affairs, but he was greatly displeased because their quarrel would disturb Angeline from getting her rest.

Angeline seemed to have woken up as she opened her eyes drowsily.

Jay kissed her forehead tenderly. "You're awake?"

Angeline turned in his arms, before closing her eyes and falling asleep again.

Outside.

Old Master Severe and Grand Old Master Yorks had reunited, but neither side was prepared to give an inch.

Old Master Severe struck with his cane and glared at Grand Old Master Yorks, uttering sarcastically, "It's been so long, Chief Yorks. I see you're getting bolder and bolder now. What's wrong? The Yorks Stronghold isn't large enough for you to flaunt your prestige that you need to make your way to Imperial Capital to throw your weight around now?"

Grand Old Master Ares was apprehensive of Grand Old Master Yorks but not Old Master Severe.

He had nothing to do with Grand Old Master Yorks personally, nor had he done anything to hurt Grand Old Master Yorks before. Therefore, the frank and open Old Master Severe was bent on collecting debts from the Yorks.

"Seriously, can you stop being so unreasonable? The child carries the Yorks' blood-"

"Nonsense. Not only are you ungrateful that I didn't sue your family for raping my granddaughter, but you're also so insatiably greedy by turning up at my doorstep. Listen up, Chief Yorks, the child belongs to Shirley, and she will decide whether she wants to give you the child or not. If she refuses, then none of you can take him away."

Grand Old Master Yorks was infuriated. "Scott Severe, how do you think Shirley got her child if not for the Yorks' seed?"

"Why not?"
