登入Leonel held Navia in his arms, his brows slightly furrowed with concern.
Compared to his worry, however, Navia felt more relieved than anything else.“Nothing happened,” she said softly. “I just got a phone call.”“What phone call?”“Chairman Crawford called me. After finding out we came to Harbour City, he told us to go back immediately. He said we shouldn’t get involved in the Lawson family’s problems or interfere witAfter their conversation ended, Ethan left first.Navia stayed behind at the tea house a little longer.Instead of tea, she quietly ate some of the desserts.They were sweet.Very sweet.The kind Leonel used to love.Because despite his cold personality, he had always secretly liked sugary things.After thinking for a moment, Navia called over a server.“I’d like the check.”“And… could you package one extra dessert for me?”As she stepped outside carrying the dessert box, a nearby car suddenly caught her attention.She looked over instinctively—Then froze.Jason Cole had just stepped out from the driver’s seat.And a second later, Leonel emerged from the back.He wore a casual dark shirt today.Apparently his meeting had already ended, and he’d come here to relax afterward.Navia froze where she stood, suddenly unsure whether she should approa
After preparing her things for the hospital visit, Navia headed downstairs.As she passed through the foyer, she overheard several servants whispering quietly.“I heard Mr. Crawford really forgot Mrs. Crawford.”“Looks like it’s true. Before this, he couldn’t stay away from her for even a few hours.”“And now he barely comes home anymore.”“I wonder how she feels now? Sitting alone in that giant room all day…”“She has to be panicking. Even if she’s pregnant, a man’s heart already moved on. Who knows how long she can keep her position?”“Exactly. She only entered the Crawford family because Mr. Crawford insisted on it despite Chairman Crawford’s objections. Now the only thing she has left is the baby. And who even knows whether it’ll be a boy or a girl?”“Honestly, with how weak she looks lately, it’s uncertain whether
Navia genuinely thought she had misheard him.It took several seconds before she finally found her voice again.“…What did you say?”Leonel’s expression remained indifferent.“I don’t like repeating myself.”Then he called toward the doorway coldly.“Jason. Come in.”Jason Cole had been waiting outside the entire time out of concern.The moment he heard Leonel call his name, his heart sank.Still, he pushed the door open and walked in.“Mr. Crawford? What do you need?”“Take her back to her room.”Leonel adjusted his cuff casually, his tone detached.“Isn’t she pregnant? She should be resting instead of standing around here.”Jason wanted to say something.But seeing Leonel’s cold, rejecting expression — and the disbelief on Navia’s face — he could only force himself to nod.“&he
For the first time in years, even Jason didn’t know whether Leonel waking up was a blessing or a disaster.Especially since Navia was still unconscious.If she woke up only to discover that her husband had forgotten her alone—The heartbreak would destroy her.Jason stood there blankly, completely unable to process the situation.Even Victor was stunned.Leonel had forgotten Navia?Jason finally snapped back to reality.“I-I’ll call Dr. Ethan Steele immediately,” he said quickly.God.Dr. Ethan Steele’s workload had just doubled.Not only did he have to stabilize Navia’s pregnancy—Now Leonel apparently had memory loss too.But at the mention of Ethan’s name, Leonel’s expression darkened slightly.“No need,” he said coldly. “I don’t want to see him.”“But your condition and Mrs. Crawford’s—”
Victor nearly exploded from rage.Even the servants struggled not to laugh.Seeing their expressions made him feel even more humiliated.In front of so many people, he still couldn’t suppress a single woman.“Take Mrs. Crawford upstairs to rest,” Victor ordered coldly.“You idiots do realize she’s carrying a Crawford heir, don’t you?”“With Leonel unconscious, that child may be his only bloodline.”“If something happens to her, can any of you take responsibility?”The servants immediately panicked under his glare.After all, Victor was still a Crawford.And if he dared come here openly, it likely meant Chairman Crawford had silently allowed it.After exchanging uneasy looks, the servants turned toward Navia.“Mrs. Crawford… Mr. Crawford does have a point…”“You should be careful not to stress the baby…”&
Another week passed.Once Leonel’s condition stabilized and Navia’s pregnancy was no longer critical, the Crawford family arranged for them to return to Kingsley and continue treatment at the country’s best private hospital.The entire drive back, Navia barely spoke.She stared silently out the window.Leonel was in the car behind hers.Jason Cole had personally accompanied the convoy. Watching her reflection in the rearview mirror made his chest tighten painfully.“Mrs. Crawford,” he said quietly, “I’m sorry. I failed to get back to Harbor City sooner. You’ve lost so much weight.”Navia shook her head.“This isn’t your fault. You’re the person Leonel trusts most. With him unconscious, there are things only you can handle personally.”Jason hadn’t expected her to remain this calm.But the calmer she seemed, the more dangerous it felt.Because eve
Navia hadn’t expected Daniel Harrison to show up here too.Kingsley really was a small world.Enemies always crossed paths at the worst possible moment.The second she saw him, she turned to leave, intending to avoid him entirely.Unfortunately, someone spotted her first
Linda had secretly investigated the man Navia married.But the result was nothing.At first, Linda had confidently assumed Navia only grabbed some random man in a rush to register a marriage out of spite toward Liam Crawford so she could secure her shares in Harrison Group.As for
“Stop!”Joanna rushed forward immediately, fury flashing across her face.“President Harrison, have you lost your mind?!”“Stay out of this!” Daniel Harrison snarled viciously. “This is a family matter!”“A family matter?&r
“I wouldn’t know,” Wayne Carter replied stiffly. “If General Manager Harrison wants answers, why not go upstairs and ask President Harrison yourself?”Wayne knew perfectly well that Daniel Harrison disliked Navia.And because he sympathized with Linda
