Elior and Ray did not know what Jane was feeling the entire time she was alone.When the door was opened once again, Sean was still being rescued.There were hurried footsteps in the corridor. Everyone was on edge.It was as if Jane had been forgotten. Everyone was focusing on the man who was being rescued.No one was talking. The doctor finally announced that the crisis had been averted after a long time.However, this was not the end. In the five days and five nights that she stayed with him, this near-death crisis kept shrouding over his head.Five days and five nights. 11 times.She had counted. Every rescue would leave a number in her heart.She did not know why she did this.She did not know whether she had the energy to feel resentful toward him in her heart.She could not even understand herself, so how could she understand Sean?In that early morning, they had hope.She was by his bed. She was used to staring at his pale and sunken face for the entire night. She wo
“Sean, why are you…” Elior reacted immediately. He reached out his hand to the man on the bed.“Don’t touch me!” The man on the bed backed away. Ray approached him. He was scared to break open his wounds.“Sean, don’t move! Watch out for your wounds.”This time, the man was reacting even more wildly. He even waved his hand that was connected to the IV drop to Ray who approached him.“Sean, what’s wrong? It’s me! Me! Ray!”Elior grabbed Ray who was trying to approach Sean. “Calm down. Something’s wrong with Sean.”“Who are you? Get out! Out!” He was talking like a child. He looked at the people around his bed in fear and horror. Suddenly, when he laid eyes on the only woman in the room, he stopped.In the next second, he did not care about all the tubes on him. He pounced into Jane’s arms in front of everyone and said in an extremely aggrieved voice, “Big Sister, I’m scared.”Jane was frozen. She was extremely tense when she lowered her head and looked at the man who was asking
Sean went back to S City after his condition turned for the better.However…When she looked at the fingers clutching onto her shirt, Jane did not know how to feel.She looked at his eyes that looked as vigilant as a child’s. Suddenly, everything changed.Not a lot of people knew about this aside from Elior, Jay, and the bodyguard who had been working for Sean since he was a kid.From Uno to Diez, none of them would leak this information.Of course, Elior and Ray would definitely not do th
However, her suspicion did not last long. It was broken by the man who immediately wanted to be praised.If Sean was really conscious, how could he become a man who would admit defeat so easily?His expression when he was fawning over her while trying to get credit for his achievement… Jane could not imagine this. If the man in front of her was really conscious, he would not dare to make this kind of face or gesture.The arrogant Sean Stewart.The cold Sean Stewart.The apathetic Sean Stewa
Ray had already made arrangements.Dos and Tres had arrived before them.At this moment, there were finally people in the quiet manor.After making the necessary arrangements, they ordered Dos and Tres to stay and take care of Sean.Meanwhile, Jane, Elior, and Ray rushed back to S City.Elior and Ray still had a lot of unfinished business.Someone had to oversee Stewart Industries in S City. If not, there would be suspicions.Sean was only on a ‘holiday’.Jane still needed to take care o
Jason asked anxiously, “Mom, is it a match? Is it?”His anxiety could be seen even without him saying it out loud.Madam Dunn’s face was green. Jason snatched it over. When he got it, he read it quickly. When he saw the results, he staggered backward and collapsed on the chair that was against the wall. “How is this possible…”“I don’t believe this. I don’t believe this.”Jane reached out her hand to take the result.After she read it, she frowned. ‘Still no, huh?’It was still unsuccessfu
“Joseph Dunn…” She muttered these two words.Vivienne saw that she could not stop Jane. This woman was always so stubborn.In the car, Vivienne cracked jokes occasionally to make Jane laugh.There was one time Vivienne was shocked when she lifted her head to look at the rearview mirror.At the backseat, the stubborn woman who was able to support an entire huge company, the woman who never complained despite all the hardship and pain she suffered, that woman who had her eyes closed… That woma
She walked over to her underground garage and drove to Stewart manor. What if… What if?What if he remembered everything and decided to go back to Stewart manor himself?She was driving extremely fast. She reached Stewart manor in a blink of an eye. After she got out of the car, she knocked on the door quickly. She pushed the butler who came to open the door and searched for him from the bottom floor to the top floor. She went through every room.“Madam, what are you looking for?”She pres
"Your grandfather loved your grandmother like a man possessed."By the time I finished hearing out my grandparents' story, I fell silent. I no longer blamed my grandfather for not knowing his heart, and I no longer blamed Grandma for being uncertain. It was just as Grandma Alora said. It was only because one of the two of them stopped obsessing and took a step back that they ended up living happily ever after. I could not help but wonder. What if Grandma simply refused to turn back at the e
Even then, I found it unbelievable. I ran to my dad's room and immediately asked, "Is Grandpa a pervert? I saw him hugging Grandma's foot just now. Does he have a foot fetish?""Your grandfather is warming your grandmother's feet. Your grandmother's body isn't in its best shape, and her hands and feet are always ice-cold. Your grandfather can't bear to see her like that. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and never mention it to him.""But why?""Because your grandfather will make you writ
My name was Luka Stewart. It was a weird name, right? Like ‘look! A stew.’My grandfather gave me my name. All my many years of experience as a kid told me that my grandfather was not a good guy.All else aside, just look at the name he gave me. He had a perfectly nice name himself, but he had to give me such a weird one.However, every time I protested about it to him, he always said that it was my dad's fault. If Dad had been a girl, that would have been his name instead. See, Grandpa was
On the twentieth day after the surgeryHe saw the person he had his heart set on.“Elior said you were at your wedding on the day I woke up.” He fell quiet again after his initial excitement. It felt as though there was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to pull the thorn out, but it hurt just to touch it.“Is Michael Luther… good to you?”“Yeah, pretty much.”There was pain in his eyes and he hurriedly lowered them, putting on a gracious act.“Congratulations. From now on, you’ll finally be
“Not too long ago, I woke up one morning and realized that I was trapped behind bars again. He had installed metal grilles over all the windows in the room.“In my eyes, those bars were no different from the ones in prison six years ago.“He tried everything to imprison me. He only finally let go when he’s sick and dying.“He said something about getting tired of this game and getting bored of me. I believed him.“He’s dying, so he lets go.“Is that supposed to show how generous and loving
“See? Master White agrees. Move aside and don’t stop me, the boss is in a lot of danger right now!” Dos’ expression was vicious. “I need to stop…”Halfway through his sentence, the three people outside heard some mortifying noises coming from inside the room.They were all experienced in the ways of life, so no matter how slow they might be, they still understood what those noises meant.Dos’ face instantly turned completely red.“Go on, kick the door down. Your boss is in danger,” Alora tea
After the second apple, there was the third... By the time he reached the fifth, he looked at the apple in his hand with a troubled expression. No matter how much he liked fruit, he still could not eat so many at once. Besides, he never liked apples to begin with.“Eat some more, or you won’t have the strength,” she said calmly. He was completely stumped. The strength? The strength for what?The wheels in his brain were still turning as he tried to process her words when the woman by his bed
At the hospital, the ward door opened without a sound. This time, Dos did not report the arrival in advance.When Elior arrived in a hurry, he immediately saw that woman.Before he said anything, Alora pulled him back out into the corridor. The door opened and closed again.The man on the bed lay on his side, fast asleep.No one knew what he was dreaming about, but the deep frown on his face showed that he did not have pleasant dreams.His hand rested on the covers, his wedding ring still a
"Don't worry, this time Sean Stewart won't disturb you again. He never will anymore. "Go and do what you do best, Jane Dunn. Run away!"With those words, Alora turned and left.She did not know what she was mad about. Perhaps she was not mad at all, just a little sorry about the whole state of affairs.It was almost as though she was the one who was not getting her happy ending. In her eyes, one of them had done wrong in the past and was now filled with regret, determined to turn over a n
