Chapter 177
Ella even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. ‘How could it be his voice she thought in disbelief.
A tall figure in a finely tailored suit and impeccably knotted tie was making his way down the corridor. His eyes, stripped of youthful innocence, were deep, like a bottomless abyss that seemed to pierce through the murkiness. Ella forgot to breathe, lost the ability to speak, and her ears could no longer hear the sounds from all around. The colors of the world seemed to vanish, leaving only his figure, vibrant and striking, as if it had absorbed all the colors of the world.
Gradually, his figure became blurry as tears welled up in her eyes and fell uncontrollably.
“Mr. Watson?” Kyle uttered, visibly stunned. Frank looked just as shocked. They had hoped to use Jaden’s absence to plot something, but if he returned to normul, their plans would be in jeopardy.
Jaden stared intently at Ella, never once shifting his gaze. He strode over to her, ignoring Finn, and pulled her into his embrace, his large hand gently stroking her back. His voice was hoarse yet tender, filled with an indescribable affection. I’m back, Ella. If the sky falls. I’ll hold it up for you. You don’t have to be so stubbom.
“You’ve come… Ella finally found her voice, trembling uncontrollably. “What took you so long? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you. you coward? They bullied met” Ella bawled like a helpless child, tears streaming down her face and soaking his shirt
Jaden’s heart ached even more. He had heard what Hank said and was desperate to regain control of his body, but for some reason, the fool had become stronger and was reluctant to yield. If it were nighttime, he might have forced his way out, but during the day, his strength was greatly diminished. If the fool refused, there was nothing he could do.
Unexpectedly, just as he was feeling anxious, the fool had voluntarily stepped aside without a word. Jaden easily took control of his body and nished over. Fortunately, he made it in time. He let Ella cry her heart out, and only after her sobs had subsided did he wipe her tears away. “Your eyes are swollen from crying. I’ll have Hank take you back. I handle things here, Jaden said softly.
Ella shook her head, saying. Tim nor going back. I want to stay here. She wanted to see these two suffer. “Something happened to Yolanda. Do you know! The situation is very bad, and she’s sull unconscious. It’s the Watson family’s doing. They intended to deal with me, but this silly girl took the hit herself
They made a bet with me, betting on the child in my womb…
“I know that too. I won’t let them hurt the baby.”
“You know everything she choked out.
“Then do you know how much I missed your” Ella gathered her courage and said it out loud.
Jaden’s eyes flickered, his grip around her waist tightening. His gaze was like glue, sticking to her intensely. She felt her cheeks blush under his stare.
“I didn’t know before, but I do now. Since you don’t want to leave, stay by my side and watch me handle this Jaden’s voice had grown slightly haune
Ella obediently stayed behind him and didn’t even notice when Finn left. By the time she looked for him, Finn was already gone.
“Mr. Palmer, what are you up to?” Jaden queutioned in a chilling voice.
“Mr. Watson, it’s truly wonderful that you’re back. I was just worried about your safety. Frank came to see me, expressing concerns that Ms. Willow’s character in questionable and suggesting that what happened to you might not have been an accident but intentional. For the sake of the company’s future, I had to be cautious, don’t you agree?” Kyle said, his tone smooth and conciliatory.
Kyle was a slippery character, deftly clearing himself of blame. Beside him, Frank was fuming.
“Jadeni, if killa wasit feeling guilty, why wouldn’t she let us visit you or see Yolandar Clearly, there’s something bisby,” Frank said defensively. “The baby tund yours, she’s been unfaithful. And just now… where’s your lover?” He had also noticed that Finn had left.
Frank continued, “Jaden, take a good look. This woman is promiscuous and morally corrupt. She’s unworthy of you. I’m doing this for your asi good? Frank tried his best to portray himself as a loving father who cared for his son.

Jaden found the scene unterly nauseating. “The baby is mine?” he asserted
Jaden, however, tore all the photos into pieces and thues them back at him. He declared. ‘Til say it again. She’s pregnant with my child. The photon. are malicious sanden. I’m no longer a member of the Watson family. I’ve marned into the Willow family, so I’m nate of them now. Don’t try to get

close to me. Even if I die, you won’t get a penny of my fortune. I’ve had a lawyer come over, a press conference will be held today for notarization.
“If anything happens to me, all my assets will be managed by my wife, Ella, and she can do as she wishes. No one else has the right to interfere. If anyone causes trouble again, don’t expect me to show kindness”
Jaden embraced Ella and left. Once in the car, Ella was still in disbelief.
“Are you really back?” She was terrified that, in the next moment, he would turn into the fool again.
“It’s me.” He touched her face gently
Ella’s voice broke, struggling to speak through her tears. If this hadn’t happened, would you have planned to avoid me for the rest of your life and never see me again? You jerk, why did you come out! Can’t I handle this myself?” she said angrily, pounding his chest.
In the end, he held her tightly. Jaden knew that he was a coward and didn’t know how to face her, so he locked himself up. He felt pathetic. “From now on. I’ll never leave again.” He spoke slowly as if making a solemn promise
Ella struggled to break free from his tight embrace, but she was powerless. She sobbed and spoke aggrievedly until her vision blurred and she fainted in his arms.
“Ella?” Jaden panicked, returning to the hospital shortly after leaving, and took her to the gynecology department. It was just due to emotional strain: she passed out briefly but was otherwise fine, However, the doctor still reminded him that during the last stage of pregnancy, extra caution was needed.
After two hours, Ella woke up refreshed from what felt like a good nap.
I want to see Yolanda, Ella said.
Since they were in different hospitals, they had to drive over. Jaden nodded and took her there. On the way, she couldn’t help but usk, “What are you going to do next?”
