After three years of marriage, Wendy Stewart was used to Michael Lucas's sarcastic remarks, his frequent threats about getting divorced, and even his indulgence of a mistress. She thought that she could bear with this her entire life, until she accidentally got pregnant with a child that Michael did not want. Finally despondent, Wendy signed the divorce agreement and left. She thought they could have parted ways forever, but Michael refused to stop looking for her after the divorce. When they met again, she was the world's top designer. Smiling sweetly at her ex-husband, she said, "My dear, we're already divorced." Michael simply stared at her coldly, "Tell me, what will it take for us to reconcile?"
Todd let out a sigh and nodded. Looking at how anxious Wendy was, he quickly reassured her, "You don't have to worry. Leah's condition is under control. It is also part of the reason why you shouldn't bring Leah to Lake City. She isn't ready for long-distance travel. On top of that, the hospital that Leah goes to for regular checkups is in Rheinsville. You'll be worried that you wouldn't be able to return to Rheinsville in time for treatment if anything happens. Of course, there aren't any recurrences of her illness. The doctor also mentioned that Leah was unlikely to have another episode of her illness. The reason for regular check-ups was only for preventive measures."
Wendy let out a breath of relief when she heard Todd's explanation.
Suddenly, a brief memory flashed past Wendy's head.
A young child lying on a sickbed, looking as pale as a sheet.
The young girl looked like she was only about aged one.
