The sun was setting, and the twilight rays shone into the room.Alora stood up, her gaze gentle as she looked toward the hospital bed. The woman lying in the bed looked sickly and pale, asleep all curled up under the covers as the warm rays of the evening shone on her.As she was about to leave, Jane suddenly opened her eyes in bed and murmured, “Alora, I want to repay my debt, but I have nothing else except myself. Can I pay it back with myself?”As soon as she said that, she closed her ey
"I'll arrange my work matters for today in a bit and then make some soup to send to her," Alora added.Sean did not break his long strides in the slightest. "You don't have to go. I'll have someone make the soup and send it to her."'Seriously… What are you thinking, Mr. Stewart?'Alora's expression looked peculiar as she watched Sean disappear around the corner. …Outside East Emperor, Sean got into his car and made a call. "Elior, run to Delicacy Delights for me and buy some food that’s
“No!” Jane said hurriedly. “I’m not avoiding you, Mr. Stewart.”She was lying!She was clearly avoiding him!However…“What’s the matter with your voice?” Why was her voice this hoarse?“I fell sick, so I have a sore throat.” Jane lowered her eyelids, refusing to explain further.“Are you afraid of me?”Jane’s eyelid twitched, and this time she did not deny it.The man stood next to her bed, raising his brow slowly. He felt even unhappier now. All of a sudden, he leaned forward. As Jan
Jane was red all the way to the roots of her ears. She could hear the wet slurping sounds from Sean’s kiss resonating around the room.As he kissed her, Sean subtly opened his eyes, his pitch-black gaze locking onto the face of the woman in his embrace. He was quite satisfied with how lost and intoxicated she looked.Finally, he crawled back up lazily, glancing at the door to the hospital room with elegance.His voice was a slow drawl as he asked, “What are you doing here?”Elior was this cl
“Sean, what you said to Jane at the end there was really hurtful, do you know that?” Elior followed behind Sean, voicing his own opinion.“Am I supposed to care how she feels?”“Are you always this self-centered and stubborn? What if you regret how you’re treating her someday?”Sean offered Elior a cigarette, chuckling nonchalantly. “Have a smoke and stop thinking nonsense.”Regret?Would he ever regret this?Of course not.Elior did not say anything more. To be honest, he also figured th
Susie thought her words through before saying carefully to Alora, “Everyone here at East Emperor knows about her shameless deeds now. She even crawled on the floor and wagged her… you know, all so she could keep the money she was scraping from the floor. Alora, everyone’s saying that she’s… she’s…”At the end there, Susie looked too embarrassed just to even talk about it.Alora’s taut expression suddenly split into a smile. It was like the snow melting in spring, looking rather unnaturally bri
Alora’s insults made Susie’s face turn green, and she snapped at Alora angrily, “How could you insult me like that, Alora? I’m an attendant here at East Emperor, yes, but I’m earning my money with my own hands and my own sweat. The money I earn is clean!“I earned every cent with my own sweat and blood, unlike Jane who sold her dignity for hers. I think I’m living a good and honest life, so why should I take your insults, Alora?”Alora could not help but laugh. “I’ll tell this to you straight,
That was right! She admitted that she had a soft spot for that silly woman, Jane Dunn. Whenever she looked at Jane, she felt as though she was seeing her past self, and whenever she remembered how she had suffered back then, she could not help but want to protect silly Jane just a little more.Nevertheless, if Susie had not dug her own grave, Alora still would not have given up on her completely.She had thoroughly investigated what happened in Room 606 that day. It was just as she said; Jane
