Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations-Chapter 912: Monica Usher Saves Herself

In the hospital—

The light was still on in Melissa Merce’s room; she couldn’t sleep and stood by the window, looking at the night view outside.

This was her mood before Finn Morgan came, and it was the same after he left.

Only when he was with her did time seem to fly, and life had meaning.

"Cindy, it’s getting late, you should sleep..." Claudia said, feeling sorry for her.

Melissa murmured, "Mom, Hailey Hale went back to the Morgan family with him tonight, do you think they’ll sleep together?"

Why was her daughter still stuck on this?

If they’re getting married, isn’t it normal for them to sleep together?

"Cindy." Claudia walked over and held her shoulders, gently comforting her, "Since you’ve chosen to give them your blessing, you should let it go. It’s a good thing for both him and you."

Melissa knew that well enough.

By choosing to give them her blessing, they would come to see her more frequently, otherwise Finn would avoid her.

"Mom, Finn only feels a bit of conscience, a bit of responsibility toward me, it’s not love between a man and a woman..." Melissa was very clear, "Every time I think about this, I feel sad for a long time..."

Claudia understood her daughter’s feelings, after loving a boy for twenty years, to receive no response in return.

What kind of disappointment would that be?

At the end of life, still forcing oneself to give blessings, just to have him look at her a few more times, only Melissa could understand that kind of sorrow.

At night, in the new house Finn Morgan bought in Riventhal, in the large yard, staff were still working overtime, busy setting up the wedding venue.

The outline of romance was already in place, Finn had hired the best wedding planning team.

Though time was tight, no detail of the wedding was neglected.

In the villa on Sycamore Road, at eleven o’clock at night.

In the downstairs living room on the sofa, Monica Usher had just finished eating two white glutinous rice dumplings, satisfying her craving, her stomach felt much more comfortable.

"Thank you, Mrs. Goldman." Monica sincerely thanked her.

Mrs. Goldman stayed by her side, "It’s getting late, rest for a bit and then go to sleep."

"Mrs. Goldman, I’d like to pay you." Monica said, "Could you stay with me through this pregnancy?"

CEO Kingston probably had the same intention, the salary couldn’t be doubled, CEO Kingston would pay.

"Ms. Usher, you don’t need to pay me, I’ll stay with you through this pregnancy." Mrs. Goldman said, "Mr. Ingram already gave plenty of compensation before, so just let me know if you need anything."

Monica was very grateful, "..." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"It’s getting late, head upstairs."

"Alright."

Monica got up and walked upstairs; she hadn’t been in the bedroom for long when her craving for a cigarette hit, her mouth tasted awful, and her stomach felt upset.

She leaned on the back of the chair at the dressing table, looking at her reflection in the mirror, feeling a bit unfamiliar.

How did a perfectly good life turn out like this?

Gradually, she felt as if thousands of ants were eating her from the inside, the unbearable itchiness suffocating her!

Clenching her fist tightly, her nails dug into her flesh, yet this pain couldn’t mask the discomfort she felt all over.

Gradually, sweat started to appear on her forehead...

Monica got up and went to the cabinet; her fingers trembling as she opened it, taking out the cigarettes that Lydia Ingram had brought her.

A thousand desires to smoke welled up inside her.

But she conquered the demon, trudging into the bathroom, tearing open the packs of cigarettes violently, throwing them into the bathtub one by one, then turning on the shower...

She needed to destroy them!

For the sake of the child, she could no longer smoke!

Despite the hallucinations appearing before her eyes.

Despite feeling incredibly uncomfortable, looking at the mess in the bathtub, she felt a sense of joy, she had finally taken the first step...
