As soon as Sean came to his senses, he first pulled open the car door. “Quickly get out of the car and take a look!”“She has stopped breathing.” The chauffeur turned the woman’s head carefully and placed his hand in front of her nose. Sean was taken aback the instant he touched the victim’s face. “It’s her!”“Do you know her?”“Yes! Her body is still warm. Send her to the hospital first. She might have a chance of surviving!” Sean ordered.Despite the bloodstains on Suzy’s body, Sean carried her into the car with the chauffeur’s help before the chauffeur started the car and headed for the hospital.After they had arrived at a nearby hospital, a doctor rushed out to wheel Suzy into the operating room.Sean did recognize the girl, but he only knew her by sight.He had attended a meeting in Perth a few years back. His schedule that day was quite hectic and because of traffic congestion, he arrived late at the hotel where a meeting was held. Accompanied by his entourage, he was in
Winona and Serena came to the hospital surreptitiously at midnight.With only a handful of miscellaneous staff around, the hospital was very quiet at that time. Though on Winona’s way to the operating room, she ran across a nurse who was on duty. “Chief Physician Harris, are you here because something has come up?”Deep down, Winona felt that it was very unlucky of her to come across someone she knew. In fact, she had chosen a night slot for the operation in order to hide the truth. Although Winona was annoyed, she still plastered a smile on her face. “I left something in the hospital, so I came to take it.” The nurse believed her and politely said goodbye to her. Soon, Winona opened the door of the operating room and went inside. A few minutes later, Serena had also arrived at the operating room with Sophia’s company. “Did you meet anyone on your way here?”“No,” Sophia replied.Winona was relieved to hear that. She then instructed Serena to lie on the operating table. They ha
When Michael entered the room, he happened to spot the notification for Matthew’s incoming call on Christina’s phone screen light up.He glanced at the bathroom door which was shut tight, but he could hear Christina and Travis singing while bathing.Michael was disgusted with Matthew’s behavior. Matthew was already engaged, so why was he still calling Christina?Hiding his bitterness, Michael swiped his finger on the screen to pick up the call.Matthew began to speak, not knowing that it was Michael who answered the call. “Christina, Michael that b*stard went to America to disturb you, didn’t he?” The corner of Michael’s mouth twitched, and he replied angrily, “What makes you think that I came here to disturb Christina?”Matthew got the shock of his life as he did not expect Michael to pick up the call. “Why are you the one answering the call? Where’s Christina?”A thought struck Michael after he threw a sideways glance at the bathroom door. Curling his lip upwards, he replied,
Rachel was snuggling idly on the couch in her room. When she saw Matthew’s name pop up on the notification on her phone, her heart leaped right away.Matthew rarely called her on his own initiative. He did ask her about Christina’s affair yesterday, and it made her feel very uneasy. Even so, she feigned enthusiasm when reporting Christina’s and Travis’s condition to him. She had also told him that Sean and Christina were getting married so that he would stop having feelings for Christina. At that time, Matthew’s tone was very cold. Rachel knew that he was upset about Christina’s upcoming marriage, but time would heal everything. She believed that he would forget about Christina in no time and be ready to marry her. Michael should have just gotten to work at this time and since he was calling her, could it be because he had given up completely after finding out that Christina was getting married? Which prompted him to think about his fiancée and how well he wanted to treat her?R
Matthew felt a growing sense of unease the moment he hung up the phone, and he immediately called Sean to ask about the matter. Based on Sean’s explanation, Old Madam Young was afraid that Michael would escalate the matter, so she made him stay in the Young family’s house for the time being. Moreover, Christina had no intentions to get together with Michael again nor allow him to acknowledge Travis.Upon hearing Sean’s words, Matthew finally let out a sigh of relief. “Sean, please take care of Christina and her son. Don’t let Michael hurt them.”Sean knew that Matthew always had Christina in his mind. “Don’t worry. With my presence, no one can hurt them.” Matthew gave the matter some thought. “The biggest problem now is that Christina will undoubtedly lose to Michael in a child custody battle, so we have to come up with a solution as soon as possible. The best is to immigrate Christina and Travis to America, then Michael won’t be able to do anything about it.”“Don’t worry about
“Sean, you must keep a watchful eye on Rachel. She’s envious that I like Christina, so she’s thinking about harming her. Since she has done it once, she’ll definitely do it the second time. You must protect Christina well.”Sean remained silent for a moment before he replied, “I got it.”After all, Sean and Rachel were a family. No matter how bad his cousin was, he could not bear bad-mouthing her in front of Matthew. Even today, he still dared not tell Matthew about the previous incident where Rachel secretly called the police and caused trouble for Christina.If Matthew found out about affairs like this, he would definitely cancel his plan to marry Rachel and never forgive her. Meanwhile, Heather was lying on the couch watching television alone. The house was getting quieter, but if she had a child to keep her company, she would not be leading such a dull life.Serena then crossed Heather’s mind when she was thinking about the child. Heather wondered if she was able to get pregn
Furthermore, Serena had already gotten together with Michael. If she had successfully gotten pregnant, Heather would have another grandson which meant that Michael would have to marry Serena by then.If it was a choice between Serena and Christina, Heather would prefer Serena to be her daughter-in-law.Heather deliberately asked, “Since Christina has gone to America, doesn’t this mean that she’s not willing to remarry you?” Michael replied, “As long as you treat her well in the future, she’ll remarry me.”“Let’s talk about this later. Now go and bring Travis back first! As the grandson of the Larson family, he needs to acknowledge his ancestry immediately.” Heather had quite a few doubts about the matter. After all, she knew Michael’s character very well. He could do anything for Christina. If he really did lie to Heather for the purpose of remarrying Christina, Heather would be rejoicing for nothing. She would not be completely relieved until Travis returned from overseas and
Never did Michael expect that Heather would be so desperate to come all the way to America. However, this matter was not as simple as Heather had thought. She would not be able to come and take Travis away just like that. Michael then found a hotel for Heather as her temporary accommodation. The moment the two of them met, Heather asked anxiously, “Where’s Travis? Why didn’t you bring him along?”“Mom, you’re viewing the matter too superficially. Travis still doesn’t know that I’m his dad and that you’re his grandma.”“What do you mean?” Heather was dumbfounded.Michael described the matter to her in a simplified manner. Upon hearing it, Heather flew into a rage. “Christina is planning to bring my grandson along to marry another man? No way. I don’t approve!”Michael became irritated at Heather’s agitation. “Mom, just stay in the hotel for now. I’ll solve this issue.”“This is such an important matter. I have to look for Christina in person and bring back my grandson.” Heather w
