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
Elior White successfully proved that he truly knew how to administer a fluid drip on someone!“I was right, see! I’m a genius. How can I not know how to do something as simple as this? Sean Stewart, let me tell you this. Being your personal doctor is just a waste of my talent. Go on and continue being stoked all you want.”An air of pride and satisfaction suddenly enveloped Elior White. That mouth of Sean Stewart’s must have been smeared with poison. He had been so aggrieved earlier. “I’ll g
Elior White glanced at Sean Stewart and fell silent for a moment. Then, he raised his head and asked, “Sean, do you really hate her so much?”“She killed Rosaline Summers.”It was just one simple sentence, but Elior White could not find another word to retort him.She killed Rosaline Summers, and this was enough to anger Sean Stewart.“Everyone should atone for the sins he or she committed,” Sean Stewart said nonchalantly to Elior White. He then turned around, pushed the door open, and left
