This statent was heavy, weighing sourly on Owen Paxton’s chest.
He originally planned to take the initiative to admit his guilt to Silas Prescott after this matter was over.
But he never expected that not only did Silas Prescott not bla him, but also entrusted the entire corporation to him for managent.
This was not only trust in him but also a type of familial affection he had never experienced before.
Owen Paxton, with red eyes, looked at Silas Prescott and finally spoke after a long silence.
"Bro, why don’t you bla ?"
"Why should I bla you? From beginning to end, you never truly betrayed the Prescott Family. You followed Sophie Somrs’ arrangents to help find the mole in the corporation, and you even helped retrieve the shares she held. I’m too grateful to bla you.
I’ve been through the rain, why would I tear your umbrella, moreover, you never received real motherly love from Sophie Somrs, she only loves herself. We share the sa fate, why should I bla you.
There’s one more thing I want you to know, the death of your adoptive parents was not accidental, it was arranged by Sophie Somrs to sever your familial ties, so you’d fully follow her arrangents.
I’ve handed over all the evidence to the police, and she will face legal consequences for her actions."
Hearing this news, Owen Paxton clenched his fists and slamd the table hard: "That vicious woman, it’s one thing for her to treat us like this, but why harm innocent people."
Silas Prescott patted Owen Paxton’s shoulder: "Don’t worry, I won’t let her off."
For the sake of anyone, he would not forgive Sophie Somrs.
Because she hurt two children.
Seeing the brotherly bond between the two, Ethan Prescott, who had been standing by, felt mixed emotions.
He never knew he had another son, and such an outstanding one at that.
He felt both guilt and unspeakable pain.
He walked up to Silas Prescott, his voice a little choked: "Silas, all of this was orchestrated by Sophie Somrs, I wasn’t aware, Damien Prescott is already in prison. Can you two, considering you’re half-brothers with Damien, let him off, and let’s be a happy family in the future."
Silas Prescott chuckled lightly, as if he’d heard a big joke.
"If the wrongdoer was one of us, would you plead for us? You wouldn’t. Even when I beca a fool, you had no sympathy, and even used to provoke your youngest son, that’s the nice things you’ve done.
There’s no chance we’ll ever forgive Damien Prescott, not to ntion I almost died, Sienna Paxton stayed in the cold seawater for so long to save . If anything goes wrong with her health, I’ll hold Damien accountable."
Ethan Prescott looked at him puzzled: "You want to completely ruin us?"
"You brought this upon yourself. I have evidence of your embezzlent of the group’s public funds. If you don’t fill that gap, I’ll have the lawyer prosecute you."
"Silas Prescott, I am your father, and a mber of the Prescott Family, do I need to ntion it if I use a little money?"
"That’s not your money, using it is a cri. If you don’t want to go to jail, return the money."
Seeing Silas Prescott so unrelenting, Ethan Prescott’s face turned livid with anger.
"Don’t forget, I’m still a shareholder of the Prescott Family. Dream on if you think you can kick out."
Sophie Somrs was arrested by the police for involvent in criminal activities, and Ethan Prescott was forced to repay all the misappropriated corporate funds.
The Prescott Family returned to their usual calm.
Old Master Prescott was brought back to the old house, and Silas Prescott returned ho with Sienna Paxton and Julian Prescott.
Owen Paxton was also added to the Prescott family genealogy and changed his na to Leo Prescott.
Seeing the whole family gathered for a al, Old Master Prescott’s eyes moistened with excitent.
He raised his glass and said, "All issues are settled now. We have a very important matter ahead, Julian, do you know what it is?"
Julian Prescott’s bright eyes darted around, then he smiled and looked at Sienna Paxton.
"I know, it’s ti for mom and dad to give a sister. Dad, you’ve kissed mom so many tis, why is there still no sister? Is it because you can’t?"
Hearing this, Silas Prescott playfully knocked his head: "Ask your mom and you’ll know if I can or not."
Julian Prescott looked seriously at Sienna Paxton: "Mom, can dad do it?"
This remark made everyone burst into laughter.
Sienna Paxton’s cheeks turned red, and she pinched Silas Prescott’s thigh under the table.
Silas Prescott grasped her hand tightly, looking at her with deep affection.
"Sienna, our son is asking you a question, why aren’t you answering."
Sienna Paxton glared at him: "Don’t forget, you’re still on probation, if you want another child, we’ll talk after the probation."
"Okay, this ti I’ll listen to you, I won’t force you to make any decisions."
This is the kind of love Sienna Paxton wanted, a free and romantic love.
Though Silas Prescott wanted to marry Sienna Paxton and live a happy life with a wife and kids, he couldn’t push her into any decision like before.
After dinner, Silas Prescott took Sienna Paxton back to their room.
Returning here again, both carried different feelings within.
Five years ago, this was their secret rendezvous, where they did the craziest things behind their families’ backs.
It was also here they both gave their first tis.
Silas Prescott held Sienna Paxton in his arms, kissing her for a long ti, then said: "Sienna, shall we relive that first dream, okay?"
He was about to undress her when she stopped him.
Sienna Paxton looked at him with moist dark eyes: "Silas Prescott, is there really nothing you want to tell ?"
Silas Prescott kissed her lips: "I want to say that I love you, want to do it till dawn, and want you to know how much I love you."
"I’m not talking about that. Regarding your amnesia, is there nothing you want to confess to ?"
With one sentence, the passion that had just risen in Silas Prescott instantly dissipated.
He stared into her eyes for a long ti before asking: "When did you know?"
Sienna Paxton smiled lightly: "When do you think I should’ve known, or should I have never known and be played like a fool by you?"
Silas Prescott, a bit nervous, quickly kissed her lips and said: "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have lied to you, shouldn’t have faked amnesia, but to confuse the enemy, I told no one, not even grandpa knew, it was the only way to force out the mole in the corporation, and also an opportunity to let you help out of that darkness. Sienna, I wasn’t trying to fool you, I just wanted to cure my psychological issues quickly and be a healthy and bright husband for you."
Sienna Paxton looked at him skeptically: "How did you deceive Caleb Langdon, he’s a world-renowned psychology expert."
Silas Prescott paused for a mont, then said: "I asked Caleb Langdon to do it. Before the incident, I sought him out, asking for the quickest treatnt thod. He said the only solution was to recreate the scenario, and let go of everything, having you guide step by step out. Otherwise, it might take a long ti to recover.
But things happened coincidentally. As I was leaving Caleb Langdon’s place, I heard about the trouble with you and Julian. I didn’t consider anything else at the ti, just wanted to save you, I couldn’t let you get hard.
Once I woke up from the injury, I took advantage of the situation, implenting the plan Caleb Langdon gave . Sienna, it was wrong not to tell you, but I wanted a real scenario, so I had to keep you in the dark. Please don’t bla , okay?"
Sienna Paxton had anticipated this; deceiving a world-renowned psychology doctor was highly improbable.
There was only one possibility: they worked together.
Sienna Paxton lightly traced Silas Prescott’s cheek with her fingertips, a smile at the corner of her lips: "If you don’t want to bla you, eat vegetarian for a month."
"Then you’d rather kill ." Silas Prescott flipped over, pressing Sienna beneath him.
As he kissed her tender skin, he said: "It’s my fault for deceiving you, so let pay with my body, okay?"
Before Sienna could respond, his big hand squeezed the soft flesh at her waist, his warm fingertips moving down her stomach.
When his fingertip moved to the tattoo on her lower abdon, Silas Prescott’s eyes flickered slightly.
Then he asked, "Sienna, I want to hear the story of this tattoo, can you tell now?"
This was sothing Sienna Paxton had promised him long ago.
After the Prescott Family’s matters were settled, she would tell him about the encounter at the war.
Including the tattoo on her lower abdon.
That tattoo was made when Sienna returned under the identity of Chloe Nash; to cover up the fact that she’d given birth, she specially treated the scar and had a flower tattooed over it.
Generally, no one could see that she had undergone a C-section surgery.
Feeling his touch, Sienna got a layer of goosebumps.
Her mind also went to the child who had died in the war zone.
She didn’t know how Silas would react once he knew about this.
Sienna stared at him for a long ti before saying, "Silas, we..."
She hadn’t finished speaking when she felt a piercing pain in her lower abdon.
Sienna couldn’t help but cry out, "It hurts."
Silas, unclear about what was happening, looked at her, "I just touched lightly, I didn’t press hard."
Sienna hurriedly sat up on the bed, feeling a warm flow from her body.
She said, enduring the pain, "I think I’m getting my period."
After saying that, she rushed into the bathroom.
Eagerly, she sat on the toilet.
But as soon as she sat down, she felt sothing fall.
The pain in her lower abdon was unbearable.
Sienna had nstrual pain, but she’d never felt it this severe before.
This ti it felt like before giving birth.
Why was she experiencing this feeling?
Seeing that she hadn’t co out for a long ti, Silas imdiately knocked and went in, seeing Sienna sitting on the toilet with sweat all over her face.
Pale and her lips purple.
He was frightened and quickly squatted down, stroking Sienna’s head, asking, "Sienna, what’s happening, is it nstrual pain?"
Sienna nodded, "Silas, I hurt so much."
She was in so much pain that she couldn’t even manage her period.
Seeing her like this, Silas quickly helped her get it sorted, then bent down to pick her up.
"Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to the hospital to see if it’s because you got chilled by seawater last ti."
Only then did Sienna rember, ever since she jumped into the sea to rescue Silas last ti, she hadn’t gotten her period.
It had been nearly sixty days since the last one.
For soone with a very regular period, this was troubling.
Could she be pregnant?
And the large chunk that had just fallen, was it a miscarriage?
Thinking of this possibility, Sienna panicked a bit.
She hugged Silas’s neck, her voice very soft, "Brother, take to the hospital."
Silas took Sienna to the hospital as quickly as possible.
On the way, Sienna was sweating from the pain, feeling it wasn’t even this painful when she gave birth.
Once at the hospital, Caden Sinclair had already brought the obstetrics and gynecology doctors waiting at the door.
He took Sienna into the ergency room.
After a series of examinations, the OB-GYN doctor looked at Sienna with so hesitation.
"Dr. Paxton, you’re not pregnant, it’s just a normal period."
Sienna looked at her with a pale face, "Then why am I in such intense pain this ti?"
"Did you hemorrhage a lot when you gave birth?"
"Yes."
"Hemorrhaging during childbirth causes significant damage to an expectant mother, and on top of that, you’ve experienced prolonged cold exposure twice, leading to a decline in your fertility. I rember last ti when you were trapped in the cold storage, I told you not to get chilled again, otherwise it would affect fertility; I couldn’t imagine you’d expose yourself to cold temperatures for so long again. Currently, from the examination, your fertility has dropped to five percent, which ans you might not be able to get pregnant anymore."
Upon hearing these words, Sienna’s face, already pale, looked even worse.
Her purple lips trembled continuously.
Being unable to bear children was a huge blow to her.
Her relationship with Silas had just started to improve, and their whole family was hoping she would give birth to a sister for Julian.
The beautiful and happy marriage she imagined was about to beco an illusion.
Silas is the head of the Prescott Family; his responsibility is not just to manage the group well but also more importantly, to carry on the lineage of the Prescott Family.
And last ti Silas confessed to her that he’d never been with any other woman except her; Julian is just an adopted son.
For a suitable heir, he must have his bloodline.
And his wife absolutely cannot be infertile.
Sienna felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, thinking, why can’t she have a beautiful life.
She tightly gripped the bed sheet, her eyes red as she looked at the doctor, "I understand, but please don’t tell Silas."
Caden Sinclair looked at her, hurriedly asking, "Sienna, what are you thinking? Are you planning to hide this from Silas?"
Sienna’s voice choked a bit, "I want to think carefully about how I should tell him."
"If he doesn’t want you because of this, I’ll be the first not to let him off; you’ve done so much for him, and even if you can’t have children in this life, he can’t dislike you."
"Caden, please help keep it a secret, okay? Give so ti to think about how to handle this."
Caden, who knew her all too well, bit his tongue and said, "Alright, but you must promise not to do anything stupid."
Sienna nodded, "I understand."
The operation room light finally went off, and Silas imdiately rushed to the door.
Seeing the doctor co out, he imdiately asked, "How is Sienna? Did she miscarry? The baby doesn’t matter; as long as she’s okay, that’s enough."
The doctor hesitated before saying, "Dr. Paxton is not pregnant; it’s just severe nstrual pain caused by serious chill. I’ll prescribe so Chinese dicine to regulate it."
Silas appeared sowhat doubtful, "Is there really no other problem?"
