His slender fingers met the scar.There was a sensation of an uneven surface coming from his fingertip.The moment his fingertip touched the scar, Sean Stewart felt as though his fingertip was scalded.“Honestly, Sean Stewart, how do you even have the heart to torment an incomplete body like that?” The call had not ended yet. Elior White said in a half-serious and half-mocking manner.On this side of the call, it looked as though the man did not hear Elior White talking. His thumb was stroki
He was even more convinced of what he felt after studying the HD image of the scar over and over again.“Are you done looking? Did you see it clearly?” Suddenly, Sean Stewart asked grumpily on the phone. Elior White coughed twice and said quickly, “I’m done looking. I see it clearly now.”“What did you see?”“I’m certain that she was cut up by someone from the black market. That person stitched her up poorly three times and it was even stitched out of line. They didn’t even want to hire a lic
Sitting by the sickbed, Sean Stewart’s gaze fell on the lying woman on the bed. Elior White had just performed a checkup on her.“Nothing major.” Elior White reiterated, “However, you should stop tormenting her. She has suffered enough today, drowning, fever, losing consciousness—worst of all? She woke up and you made her pass out again.”Elior White “tsk, tsk” twice. “Sean Stewart, you’re getting more skilled at tormenting people, aren’t you?”There was obviously a hint of sarcasm in his voi
As soon as he left, silence engulfed the ward immediately. With the absence of Elior White’s voice, the hospital at night carried an odd kind of silence, actually.This was a completely different silence than when he spent his time alone at home late at night.Sean Stewart grabbed a high-back chair and sat by the sickbed.His vision fell on her forehead.The wound which she covered with a band-aid and her bangs earlier was eventually exposed to him.Elior White told him that this wound was
Jane Dunn woke up in the afternoon. Maybe she was too tired and maybe her fever was too high, that was why her body was very weak.The white ceiling was the first thing she saw when she woke up and opened her eyes. At this moment, she was still stuck in a haze not knowing where she was.“You’re awake?”A magnetic voice sounded all of a sudden.Jane Dunn’s heart jolted as she turned her head subconsciously. Beside her bed, the man was sitting elegantly on a high-back chair. There was a file i
“What’s wrong? You can’t stand the torment in your heart?”Jane Dunn lowered her eyes. Her eyebrows concealed the indifference in the depths of her eyes as well as everything in the outside world.If Sean Stewart had told her these words three years ago, she would definitely explain herself. She would lay down her life to explain it for sure.Today, three years later, she would not. Jane Dunn was gone. She had lost her lofty and unyielding character, hence losing her soul with it. Was Jane
Sean Stewart could hear his heart drop. “I don’t care whether you believe it or not, but this is a misunderstanding, Jane Dunn.”Misunderstanding?Jane Dunn stared at Sean Stewart. Did he actually say that this was a misunderstanding?“Mr. Stewart, are you trying to tell me that this has nothing to do with you and that you don’t know anything about this?” She did not know if she should laugh or cry. She could only feel that her heart was stuffy, and it was aching so badly that she was struggl
“Take a seat first, Jane.” She went and poured Jane Dunn a glass of water. Half a sleeping pill sank to the bottom of the glass secretly. She first poured half a glass of hot water, then swirled the glass until the sleeping pill was nearly dissolved before adding some cold water to blend it all together.“Here, drink some water first.”“Mm. Thanks, Alora.” She had been thirsty from the moment she woke up in the hospital. The glass of water came at the perfect timing. “I’m really thirsty. You’r
