Sheila’s lips turned pale, and her face was drained of color, showing signs of weakness. She had been writing until the crack of dawn, with the rooster crowing indicating morning, yet she had not even completed a tenth of the task.
Before long, Kye Hubbard, Margaret’s son who had been out earlier, returned home.
He was a muscular man with tanned skin and a youthful appearance, exuding an honest and simple
charm.
Seeing the unfamiliar young girl kneeling in the yard, diligently copying scriptures by hand, he stood frozen in place.
Sheila’s delicate features and natural beauty, especially in her current weakened state, could stir a strong protective instinct in any man.
Sensing someone watching her, Sheila paused her writing and glanced discreetly in his direction.
Their eyes met, and Kye felt an impulse as if he had found love at first sight.

contact between the two.
Kye dared not say anything and quickly bypassed John to find Margaret.
Margaret had just gotten out of bed when Kye approached her quietly and asked, “Ma, who’s that girl in the yard? She’s so pretty, and she looks very young. Did she do something wrong to be treated like
this?”
“You’re smitten with her, aren’t you?” Margaret knew her son too well.
Embarrassed, Kye scratched his head and chuckled. “She’s beautiful. It’d be great if she could be my
wife!”
Margaret was furious at his words and gave him a hard slap on the head.
“Kye, you idiot! Don’t you dare harbor any thoughts for her again! She’s a horrible person! Her heart is evil! Besides, she’s Mr. Lawson’s daughter! You can forget about marrying her!”
Kye always listened to his mother and obediently replied, “Yes, yes! I wouldn’t dare!”
As he left the room, he could not resist stealing a few more glances at Sheila in the yard. He did not understand why Margaret would curse Sheila like that, but there must be struth to it.
Sheila’s face was undeniably beautiful, and there could not be any harm in just looking, right?
Sheila caught his gaze again and deliberately flashed him a sweet, innocent smile.
Kye instantly blushed, unable to look at her anymore. Then, he lowered his gaze and slipped into the
kitchen.

John observed their exchange with keen eyes and warned Sheila coldly, “You better not be planning anything. Paul and I will be keeping a close eye on you!”
Sheila obediently averted her gaze and shook her head vigorously, as if genuinely afraid.

It was a little past 9 a.m.
Elliot, accompanied by the dedicated driver and Sheena, headed back to the General Hospital.
Sheena was already in her ninth week of pregnancy, and as tpassed, ssubtle changes in her body seemed to becmore pronounced.
Elliot sat anxiously in the waiting room.
If Sheena and the babies were indeed negatively affected by the virus in his body, he felt immense guilt and remorse!
Elliot was sitting on pins and needles, unable to find peace.
Ten minutes later, a nurse emerged from the examination room.
Spotting Elliot in the waiting room, she called out, “Mr. Jenkins, Ms. Lawson’s test results are in. Please cand join her!”
Elliot immediately stood up and walked briskly into the room.
Sheena had already been helped off the examination bed by the nurse and was seated across from the doctor’s desk, her expression serious.
The obstetrician sitting opposite her wore a similarly grave expression.
Elliot hurried to the chair next to Sheena, his fingertips trembling as he clasped her hand, ready to hear the doctor’s verdict alongside her.
