Joshua had just fed some porridge to Elizabeth to calm her down and went to sleep. Suddenly, his phone rang, he quickly turned it on vibrate, picked up his phone, and quickly walked out of the room. "Brother!" Joshua answered the phone softly.

"I just got the news that Bart jumped out of his office and failed to survive." Edwards's solemn voice came from the other side.

"Dead? Did he commit suicide? Or is someone trying to silence him?" Joshua's face was filled with shock, he never thought that Bart would actually die like this, he still wanted to redeem his sins. Eliza had not even met him once, yet he had already committed suicide by jumping off a building.

"The police determined he committed suicide. Maybe he was under some kind of threat, so he had to die to save this." Edwards also felt that this matter had happened too fast, too bizarre.

"It would seem that he has no other choice. He knows too many secrets. There are some people who do not want him to live." Joshua mocked himself.

"Regarding this matter, you should talk about it after Elizabeth's mood is better." After Edwards finished speaking, he hung up the phone and went back to his bedroom from the balcony with his phone in hand. Under the warm light, he saw his curled up daughter, whose cute sleeping appearance was like a peaceful and pure angel.

Edwards's heart immediately became gentle. Tomorrow Lily would return home. His daughter would stick to him for no reason during these few days. She would have to wait until he returned home before she would sleep, and furthermore, she would have to hold onto one of his arms every single time before she could fall asleep.

Edwards could not help but chuckle. The feeling of being needed by his daughter was really good.

"Daddy, pee!" It was unknown if the sound of the door opening had woken Emma up, or if she felt that there was no father by her side, she suddenly woke up. She crawled up and sat down, rubbing her eyes as she muttered.

Edwards immediately walked over, picked his daughter up from the bed and carried her to the bathroom.

"Why isn't Mummy back yet? If she doesn't come back, I'll be an adult then!" Emma was still very resentful. She had never separated from Mummy for so many days and had always been looking forward to he return.

Edwards looked at her small body. In this period of time, she had not grown much, but had gained a lot of weight. She's as beautiful as a doll.

After Emma peed herself, she grabbed her pajamas. When she looked up and saw her father smiling, she asked in dissatisfaction, "Daddy, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing. I just hope that my little princess grows up a bit slower, so dad can accompany you more!" Edwards stooped to pick up his daughter and went back to the bedroom. The little guy rolled around and found a very comfortable sleeping position to lie down on. Blinking her big eyes, she curiously asked: "Grandma told me to grow up faster, but you told me to slow down. Should I grow faster or slower?" Edwards also laid down on his back, hugging his daughter tightly, letting her rest her head on his arm. "Daddy doesn't know, as long as you are healthy and safe, everything will be fine!"

"Oh!" The little guy was in a deep slumber. Not long later, she fell into a dream again.

Edwards glanced to the side and pinched her cheeks lightly with his finger. Only then did he shut his eyes and sleep in satisfaction.

The news of Bart committing suicide by jumping off the building had not been reported out, as the internal organs had already sealed off the information, but it was still possible to not stop the rumors, causing everyone to become anxious.

Bart's many years in office had brought him a good reputation. It was a pity that in the last few days before his death, a scandal about replaceing a substitute to conceive for his son broke, causing everyone to have a whole new level of respect for him. Within a few days, he jumped off the building and committed suicide, and those who were unaware of the situation to think that he committed suicide out of shame. Elizabeth stayed at the hospital, worried that there would be more bleeding. However, she stopped bleeding after the injection, and her emotions stabilized.

"When do I have to testify? I'm better now. I can do it at any time." As Elizabeth ate the fruits, she turned around and asked Joshua. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She wanted Bart to pay for his infidelity earlier.

"Eliza, there is something that I don't want to hide from you. Actually, you don't need to appear in court to testify against Bart anymore. He has already ...dead. Last night, he jumped off a building!" Joshua slowed down from peeling the fruit, and stared fixedly at Elizabeth with his deep eyes.

Sure enough, her expression froze. Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief: "He's dead? Last night?"

"Yes, jumping off a building in his office. Eliza, would you feel sorry for him?" Joshua looked at her pale face, her trembling lips. She did not know what she wanted to ask. Joshua felt sorry for her. Elizabeth had mixed feelings, her mind was in a mess and her mind was blank.

Would she be sad? Probably not. She had always hated him.

"I haven't even seen him yet, how did he die? I have a lot of questions I want to ask him." Elizabeth's eyes immediately reddened, and she tried her best to hold back her tears, but the tears kept flowing. "Don't ask. No matter what you want to ask him, he has already paid the price for his actions. Moreover, my big brother said, the one who forced him to die was not you, but himself, so his death must be in exchange for the life of his son. In the end, he is willing to sacrifice his life for his son, but is not willing to be responsible for his daughter. He deserved it." Joshua stretched out his hand to hold onto the small hand she was tightly pinching, consoling her with a low and deep voice.

Elizabeth was still unable to speak for a long time. She couldn't tell what she felt inside.

Perhaps she was sad that she had not met him and asked him why he had abandoned her.

"Eliza, the doctor said that you can't get too excited, it's not good for the fetus. You have to control your emotions, in fact, I wanted to hide it from you, but I won't be able to hide it sooner or later." Joshua was really worried for her. Seeing her keep her head down without saying a word, he was worried that her emotions would collapse and affect her fetus.

Elizabeth laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm fine. In my heart, my father is someone else. It's not him. His death won't affect me."

Elizabeth had an adopted father before, and he treated her as if she were his own. It was just that her life was not good, and he only doted on her for a few years before passing away. At that time, Elizabeth cried for months, thinking he was her own father.

"Alright, as long as you can think it through!" Joshua reached out and caressed her cheeks.

Patty Jones sat in the living room, hearing Lily Jones and her father making a ruckus, she angrily ran downstairs and roared: "What are you guys arguing about? Are you going to continue living this life? Wasn' it to save your life that my father betrayed Elizabeth?"

Lily Jones covered her face, she could not cry, but her heart was in pain.

Barry scolded his daughter, "Speak less. You're not allowed to speak to Lily like this ever again."

Although Barry didn't like Elizabeth, he still had a relationship with Lily. This time, he was deeply aware of how inhumane it was to exchange life with Elizabeth.
