Leanna suddenly pushed away the man's shackles, quickly got up, and covered the blanket in front of her with both hands, "What have you done to me?"
Toby propped himself up with both hands, lazily leaning against the headboard, with the blanket covering his waist, revealing his well-defined chest and strong abdominal muscles.
He stretched out his long arm and took the cigarette box from the bedside table, lighting one.
He took a deep breath and blew a smoke ring towards Leanna, who coughed a few times.
Her eyes were red, "Toby, what did you do to me!"
Toby said leisurely, "I brushed your teeth, took a bath for you, wiped your body, and did what a man does for a woman."
What did the man do to the woman?
Isn't that...
Leanna felt very aggrieved as she thought about how Toby had taken away her first kiss, and now her virginity had been taken away inexplicably.
He was clearly flirting with another woman and then touched her.
In this case, Zoey had already asked her many times.Before, Leanna used to deny it, but this time she remained silent.Leanna took out a tissue and blew her nose again. She let out a sigh and accepted it."I never expected that I would actually fall in love with a rotten cucumber."Zoey smiled and said, "Perhaps there was some misunderstanding among all this?"Leanna snorted lightly, "What misunderstanding? I think he was having an affair with Christine!"Zoey called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee and a cup of hot milk.She picked up the hot milk and slowly poured it into the coffee. "When you add milk to coffee, you can't see its original color anymore, so you can't say that milk is black, it's just that you can't distinguish it right now. Many things shouldn't be judged by their appearance, but by their essence. I think it would be better for you to directly ask Toby. Whether we separate or not, we shouldn't misunderstand e
On the fourth day after Leanna left, Toby came to Russell's office.He sat on the visitor chair with a gloomy face, "I couldn't find her, help me."Russell's pen paused as he reviewed the contract, and he looked up at the other person. "You could make a different request."Toby squinted his eyes, "Russell, I never expected you to be afraid of your wife."Russell faintly curled his lips, "At least I had a terrifying wife, unlike someone who lost their wife and didn't even have a chance to be scared."Toby was speechless.He didn't expect that Russell turned out to be a husband slave, obeying his wife's every command."I was very worried about Leanna's situation. There was a misunderstanding between her and me, and I don't think Zoey wants Leanna to be unhappy either."Russell laughed and said, "Leanna said that the old must go and the new must come, she will find a man who will make her happy."Toby said, "...You will hav
Just at the critical moment, Gilberto lifted his foot and kicked the man in the chest, and the silver light flashed by.The man was kicked and flew to the ground, the dagger in his hand clattered and fell, with a touch of blood stained on it.Gilberto walked briskly forward and lifted his foot, stepping on the chest of the latter, who spurted out a mouthful of blood."Speak! Who sent you?"Gilberto's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice was cold and ruthless.The man grabbed his trouser leg with one hand and reached out to search for the dropped dagger with the other hand.Just as he was about to touch the dagger, his hand was firmly stepped on by Russell.The man was unable to move and let out cries of pain from his mouth.The security guards quickly rushed up, subdued the person, and called the police.Zoey approached and saw Gilberto's light-colored jeans were torn, furrowing her brows she asked, "Did
Gilberto stared at the man in front of him, who raised his neck and his face turned red.The light was dim, making it difficult to see his facial expression clearly."I only gave you one chance!" Gilberto's voice was cold.Brock's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched Gilberto's wrist with both hands, shaking his head, "No, it wasn't."Gilberto's lips turned into a straight line, and then he threw the person against the wall.Brock knelt on the ground in agony, coughing violently.He watched the man's tall and slender figure, unable to free himself from the heartache.I saw Gilberto sitting on the couch, opening a bottle of red wine and chugging it down his throat. He staggered to his feet, leaning against the wall as he walked towards Gilberto."Gilberto, it really wasn't me."Gilberto clearly did not believe his words, "This is the last time, understand?"Brock had no doubt that Gilberto had just harbored murderous intentions towards him. He let out a bitter laugh and said, "Gilberto
Once something is indulged, it becomes irreparable.Russell had a wild night, and in the end, Zoey was so exhausted that she didn't want to move at all.Watching the man fall asleep, Zoey opened her eyes and listened to his long breaths, her mind heavy with thoughts.She understood Russell's thoughts, and the consequences would have been terrible if there had been no cure for his illness.He was uncertain about his future, worried that he couldn't provide her with a happy life, and even feared that he would burden her. As a result, he became timid and lost his confidence.Zoey felt very sorry for him, she held him tightly and said softly, "Russell, I will definitely cure you."In the previous life, Russell killed himself for love, but it didn't end well. In this life, she was determined to give Russell a good ending.The next day, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, Zoey prepared breakfast and drove to the research institute.The experiment is currently in the stage of using mi
Zoey's body stiffened, and she suddenly looked up at the door.She tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "How did you wake up?"Russell was dressed in a navy-blue silk pajama, with the collar half open, revealing his delicate collarbone and pale, cold skin, giving him a sexy and alluring appearance.He raised an eyebrow and looked at Zoey, making a puzzled sound, "From what you're saying, it seems like I shouldn't have woken up."Zoey opened her mouth and forced a smile, "That's not what I meant."Russell approached, stood by her side, and bent down, supporting himself with one hand on the back of the chair and the other on the table."What did that mean?"Zoey looked up at the man and said, "You, heard everything?""Of course.""Actually, I was the one, Hacker H."Russell stared at her deeply, "I should have guessed it earlier. Why didn't you tell me?""Well, you didn't ask, did you?""..."Zoey pursed her lips and said, "So, do you also have something to hide from me?"Russell
"Don't go."Gilberto's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with a look of grievance.Zoey's wrist, which was being held, felt extremely hot. She whispered, "I won't leave, I'm just going to boil some water and give you medicine later."Gilberto nodded and let go of his hand.He watched as the girl took off her cashmere coat, walked gracefully to the table, and started boiling water.He squinted his eyes, then closed them satisfactorily.Fifteen minutes later, Zoey took the medicine bag handed over by the manager.She walked to the bedside and pulled out an Infrared Thermometer, fever-reducing medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine from the medicine bag.She picked up the Infrared Thermometer and measured her ear temperature, which showed a normal reading. Then she measured Gilberto's temperature and found that he had a temperature of 39℃.She turned around and fetched warm water to cool down. She scooped out a fever-reducing pill and handed it to Gilberto."If you took the fe
Upon hearing this, Zoey's lips tightened slightly, and she walked towards the CEO's office.There was a gap in the office door, and the sound of a woman sobbing could be heard from inside.Zoey pushed open the door and walked in, only to see a woman standing in front of the desk, with her long hair flowing like a waterfall, revealing her fair shoulders. The black stockings under her short skirt were torn, making her look like a broken doll.The man sitting on the leather armchair stood up abruptly when he saw someone approaching.His eyes, which were originally filled with hostility, looked panicked. He stood up, supporting himself with both hands on the table, and said, "Zoey, why did you come?"Zoey walked up to him with a faint smile and said, "I missed you, so I came to see you. What's going on?"Russell looked at the woman, his gaze cold and icy. He was just about to explain when the woman burst into tears."I came to deliver the documents to Mr. Maddox, but little did I know tha
The next afternoon.Joselyn didn't wait for Brodie on time because he had to perform a last-minute surgery.The injured person was involved in a serious car accident, rear-ending a delivery truck carrying steel bars. The steel bars directly pierced through the windshield and into his chest cavity.The firefighters arrived and used hydraulic pliers to cut the steel bars, then they lifted the person out.At that time, the injured person had lost too much blood and was unconscious. By the time they were taken to the hospital, they had already gone into shock.After the examination, the doctor discovered that the patient's lungs had been punctured and the heart was partially damaged. It was determined that a surgery involving both a cardiac surgeon and a thoracic surgeon was necessary.Because the surgery was very difficult, an extremely experienced doctor was needed to perform it.Brodie had been ready to leave, but he received a call fr
Brodie escorted Joselyn up the stairs and watched her enter the room. He reminded her, "Before going to bed, make sure to drink some hot water and keep warm, otherwise you might easily catch a cold."Joselyn nodded, her eyes clear and bright. "Okay, Brodie, you should rest early too."Brodie smiled faintly and said, "Close the door."Joselyn lightly hummed and closed the door.Hearing the footsteps outside gradually fading away, Joselyn knew that the man had left.She changed her shoes and entered the kitchen. She poured a cup of warm water from the water heater, and the warm water flowed into her throat, instantly warming her slightly chilly body.However, she suddenly realized that she had been listening to Brodie, probably because he was a doctor.Oops, I forgot to ask him which floor he lives on in the opposite building.What did you ask so many layers for?Do you want to peep on others?Joselyn shrugged, wond
Brodie lowered his gaze and pursed his lips, "There was no suitable one."He did not want to portray himself as a lovesick fool, seeking others' sympathy.Joselyn raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "You are so excellent, you will definitely find a girl who suits you."Brodie smiled and said, "Maybe."He looked towards the artificial lake and said, "It has frozen over there, let's go take a look."Joselyn looked in the past, and the ice under the street lamp was smooth, shining like a mirror."Could you ice skate?""It should be possible, after all, it is already below zero now."The Rosario family also had an artificial lake, but at this moment, Joselyn felt that the Keller family's was more fun than the Rosario family's.She was particularly cheerful, opening her arms and running towards the ice.With a splash, she stepped directly onto a thin layer of ice and fell into the cold water.The lake water
Joselyn accompanied Tabitha to the restaurant. Although she was lively, she was still a bit reserved when faced with a large family.However, the Keller family was extremely welcoming and took good care of her.Tabitha kept serving her food, "Look how thin you are, eat more."Joselyn smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Grandma.""I really like this child. He is beautiful and has a good personality. Look at how well our Royce and Brodie are doing," Tabitha said as she began to promote her well-behaved grandchildren.Now there are only Royce and Brodie left, and if she works hard enough, she will be able to be the only one left.Upon hearing this, Royce felt a headache. "Grandma, I was nine years older than Joselyn. Please, be kind and don't drag her into trouble."Tabitha frowned, "It seems a bit too big."Her gaze fell on Brodie again, "You are seven years older, but this age difference is acceptable."Brodie let out a
Brodie furrowed his brow and asked, "What does Ms. Hester want?""I just wanted to invite you to have a meal." Deborah smiled, "I have asked you out several times already, can Professor Keller give me a chance?"Brodie naturally knew in his heart that Deborah didn't just want to have a meal with him, and then ask for his phone number, leading to entanglement.He had no slightest bit of interest in her, and Joselyn didn't seem to belong to the category of relatives, so he directly refused in order to avoid any further trouble."Sorry, Ms. Hester, I indeed didn't have a surgery tonight, so I had some free time, but my family was waiting for me to have dinner together."Deborah blinked her eyes innocently and naively, "Can't we have dinner with our family another day?"Brodie chuckled lightly, "Is it you who is important or my family? I haven't been home for a few days, finally had some time to have a meal with my family, and now you want me to
Brodie didn't expect to escape Davis and Tabitha's pressure to get married at home, and he still couldn't escape it at the hospital.He smiled faintly and said, "Not yet."Joselyn's grandmother's eyes lit up, and she stood up and looked Brodie up and down. "This young man is tall and handsome, and he is a perfect match for our Joselyn."Joselyn's mouth twitched. "Grandma, why did you randomly choose the 'Mandarin Duck' song? Do you know who he is?"Joselyn's grandmother smiled and said, "He is my future grandson-in-law."Joselyn. “..."Brodie pushed his wireframe glasses and nodded slightly, "Hello, Grandma, my name is Brodie."Joselyn's grandmother laughed, "See, this is Joselyn we're talking about. She even started introducing herself willingly."The crowd. “..."Joselyn almost blushed in the past, she tugged at her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, this is Kristian's second cousin.""What?"
Brodie and Joselyn had finished their meal, and it was almost eight o'clock. The table was a mess.Joselyn patted her stomach and said, "After this meal, I definitely gained two pounds."Brodie chuckled, "You were too thin, it would be better to gain some weight. With all the recent experiences, I'm sure you had a lot of mental pressure, so it's good to have a broad mind and a plump body."Joselyn nodded, "That's true. But thanks to you, otherwise my mom would have been in danger. I must treat you to this meal.""Fine," Brodie shrugged, "then I won't compete with you for the order."After the two of them went downstairs and settled the bill, the waiter informed them that the boss was treating them.Joselyn sighed and said, "I wanted to invite you, but since I couldn't, next time when you have time, I will invite you again."Brodie nodded slightly, "Okay."Joselyn was twenty-three years old, seven years younger than Brodie.
Brodie and Joselyn left the Inpatient Department.Brodie asked, "Did you drive?"Joselyn shook her head, "I was a typical pedestrian, not suitable for driving, so I took a taxi here."Brodie smiled faintly and said, "Then, ride in my car.""Okay."The two of them arrived at the parking lot. Brodie, being a gentleman, opened the passenger door for her. Joselyn politely thanked him and got in.After Brodie got on the car, he saw that Joselyn had already fastened her seatbelt.He smiled and said, "Although it was a hit-and-run, the awareness of safety was quite strong."Joselyn shrugged self-deprecatingly, "Since the incident with Porter, I felt that life was too fragile, and at any moment, my own life could be in danger. Of course, I am afraid of death myself, but what I fear even more is that if my parents were to lose me again, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle it."Brodie could fully understand the phrase "life
The next day, Brodie went to the hospital as usual. He arrived at the ICU to check on Kinley's condition. There were no signs of rejection and there were indications of recovery.He remembered Porter, a man who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually ruthless and cunning.The tragedies of the Rosario family were all caused by this person and, in the end, it was also him who put an end to them. He probably thought that Porter was here to collect a debt and repay it.Leaving the ICU ward, he went to Mr. Hester's room.Brodie was taken aback, as the person in front of him looked completely different from yesterday, no longer dressed as a zombie nurse but rather as a standard socialite.He nodded slightly, "Hello, I came to check on Mr. Hester's condition."Mr. Hester wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Brodie. "Don't speak, I will examine you."Mr. Hester nodded and then saw Deborah approaching.Brodie noticed someone a
