Chapter 350 Must Be Cured

Chapter 350 Must Be Cured

Wentworth sent the list to Charles on the same day.

Charles looked utterly baffled.

He had never imagined that his tall, strong, handsome brother was actually... well, saying it outright would hurt feelings too much. Besides, Wentworth had ended up like this because he was a soldier who carried out missions. Such a person deserved respect.

Charles immediately contacted Dr. Dwight. "Send a medical team over to conduct a full physical examination and determine what treatment he needs."

Charles hadn't intended to hide it from Zoey, but Zoey she had already heard about it.

Zoey asked anxiously, "Is Wentworth injured again?"

Charles shook his head. "I'm afraid it's even worse than being injured."

"What happened to him?"

"He..."

Charles wanted to keep it from Zoey, but she became upset. "Hmph, Charles, you have secrets you won't share with me. You're treating me like a child. You don't trust me. And here I am, pregnant with our second child."

Zoey was pregnant again; she had just found out she was three months along.

She didn't mind having several more children. After all, there was no financial pressure, and she truly loved children. She took great care of their first son, and her face lit up with joy every time she saw him. While she was still young, she wanted to have a few more children to enjoy life with.

Seeing his young wife unhappy, Charles had to tell her. "Wentworth was found to have fertility issues."

"What?" Zoey covered her mouth, unable to believe it.

"Then he needs to get treatment right away."

"He's too busy and can't make time for treatment, so I have to send a medical team to him."

"Yes, he must get better. I can tell that Matilda wants a child of her own. She had such a hard life in those early years, without a single relative. She must really hope to have a child who shares her blood."

...

Before the medical team arrived, Matilda and Wentworth spent a day moving.

All the furniture in the new house was new, so they didn't need to bring any furniture with them.

The furniture they had originally bought for Sally and Nick was also given to the family the siblings were currently staying with.

So they only needed to bring some clothes and kitchen items.

After moving into the villa, Matilda felt excited again. Although this villa wasn't as nice as the one in Phoenix City, it was a standalone house with front and back yards, plus a rooftop. The backyard had been cleared and planted with flowers and greenery, making it very pleasing to the eye.

The front yard was currently empty, with only a lawn. In the future, when they had children, they could let them crawl on the grass and play in the yard. Just thinking about it made her happy.

As Matilda thought about it, her mind drifted back to children again.

She really hoped Wentworth could recover soon.

...

When Edison learned that Matilda had moved into the villa, he sent her a message specifically: [Matilda, when are you going to invite everyone over to your place?]

Although Edison owned many properties, he was still very interested in other people's houses.

How to put it—even if the layout was the same and the decoration similar, different people created different atmospheres when living there. You could tell what kind of person the homeowner was from small details.

Matilda replied: [I'd love to invite everyone over, but Wentworth is a bit busy lately, and some parts of the house still need to be rearranged. Once everything is set up, we'll definitely invite you all over.]

Edison was very happy: [Great, I'll wait for your invitation. I've already prepared gifts.]

Matilda casually asked: [How's your weight loss going?]

Edison had been waiting for Matilda to ask about it.

Recently, whenever anyone asked him about his weight loss, he would send them comparison photos.

People who successfully lose weight, even if they only lost five pounds, want others to see their before-and-after photos.

If they developed abs or chest muscles, they wanted to show them off every day, wishing they could wear crop tops or tank tops all the time.

Fortunately, summers in Cloud Town weren't too hot, and wearing tank tops too often could easily lead to catching a cold.

Matilda looked at Edison's pictures. At first glance, he had indeed slimmed down quite a bit, and even his eyes looked brighter.

She asked: [Are you around 150 pounds now?]

Edison replied: [I currently weigh 165 pounds.]

[Compared to before, you've really lost a lot. You're looking more and more handsome.] Matilda no longer blushed when complimenting people.

Edison's confidence rose even more. [Then I must keep it up.]

[Go for it!]

Matilda sent him an encouraging emoji.

After receiving the message, Edison felt even more motivated.

Since starting his diet, he had even cut off a group of friends.

He mentally blacklisted those who kept making sarcastic remarks, saying he wasn't fat at all and should just eat well.

And those who, knowing he was trying to lose weight, still insisted on inviting him to big meals—he also put them on the blacklist.

Only those who encouraged him to continue remained.

Such as Matilda and Wentworth.

Although they hadn't known each other long, he felt this couple was truly kind-hearted and genuinely hoped he would slim down and improve.

Wentworth had once told him that he was doing an exercise incorrectly and that it could damage his joints.

He was naturally grateful.

Jade still treated him rather coldly.

Every time he sent her workout pictures, her response was always: Keep it up!

However, when Jade invited him to eat, she would order low-calorie items, often just getting him a salad. She wouldn't tempt him and would eat a vegetable salad with him.

When asked, she'd say she had a big meal the day before and needed to eat light today.

Edison interpreted this as Jade silently supporting him.

He secretly vowed to work hard on losing weight and enter his next marriage looking his best.

...

Lydia had traveled further north in the past few days.

She had been alone the whole time.

They say solo travel can be addictive, and she now especially loved the feeling of it.

She would go to tourist spots alone, eat alone, and sit in restaurants watching people come and go outside, observing others' lives.

Today she was sitting in a restaurant looking outside.

The weather was a bit cold today, and pedestrians passed by from time to time.

There was a mother pushing a baby stroller, with the child lying happily inside.

She thought that Jasmine must have treated her the same way when she was young.

Raising a child wasn't easy. She had actually received so much love. She shouldn't have kept clinging to them after finding out she wasn't their biological child.

If she had been honest with them then, they might not have abandoned her.

Soon, a middle-aged couple came by, walking and chatting. They were just ordinary people talking about ordinary things, but to her, it felt precious and rare.

She thought about herself and Edison.

If she hadn't been foolish back then, her middle age with Edison would have been simple yet comfortable.

But she had ruined that life with her own hands.

And as for Ronald...

Thinking of those two beatings, Lydia felt as if she had been in a nightmare.

Thinking about the future, she felt terrified.

So she couldn't continue with him anymore. It was a nightmare, and she had to break free from it.

Just as she was thinking this, Ronald's voice suddenly came from behind her. "Lydia, I finally found you!"

She had still been lost in those terrible memories, and she was instantly startled, shuddering.
