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
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 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 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
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 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
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
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
Joselyn was choosing clothes in front of the wardrobe when she received a message from Brodie."Brodie was already downstairs, what should I wear?"She muttered to herself and carefully selected a white casual suit. She put on off-white snow boots and a matching oversized cashmere coat. She slung the latest Z&L Design horn-shaped bag over her shoulder and walked out the door.She came out of the apartment building and saw a man leaning against the car door, making a phone call.He was wearing a well-fitted light gray cashmere coat, with the off-white collar of his sweater just covering his Adam's apple, which was somewhat sexy. The crisp casual pants wrapped around his slender legs, with one leg slightly bent, exuding an air of indulgent elegance.He looked like a character straight out of a comic book, and Joselyn couldn't help but pick up her phone and take a picture of Brodie.Click!Brodie lifted her gaze and looked at the new
In the middle of the night, Nancy's lower abdomen was filled with waves of pain, causing her fingers to tremble.When she wanted to call 119, a series of numbers came in.She accidentally pressed the answer button, and a painful groan escaped. Then she lost consciousness.When she woke up again, what she saw was a white ceiling, and a strong smell of disinfectant reached her nose.She caught a glimpse of the hanging water bottle and felt that she must have been brought here by 119.Just her child?The door of the ward was pushed open, and a young nurse came in to change her medication. "Are you awake?"Nancy lightly hummed, "My child?""Fortunately, the child was taken to the hospital in time and was saved," the young nurse changed the medicine bottles.Nancy's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally fell to the ground. "I will go and pay the medical expenses as soon as I finish the drip.""Your husband
Dalton called Perla to inquire about Nancy's condition. He wanted to know how she was eating. When he heard that she wasn't eating much, he became very worried. As a result, he secretly came back.As for Nancy's proposal for divorce, Dalton would not have agreed.He thought about escaping, but it was only temporary and couldn't solve the problem. He decided to come back and have a good talk with Nancy.To his surprise, when he opened the door, he saw Randall in his house, holding his wife.For whatever reason, this was something he could not accept."What were you doing!" Dalton almost shouted.He rushed towards Randall, pulling the person apart, and raised his fist towards his face.Randall stumbled backwards, his tongue pressing against his cheek, the taste of blood spreading in his mouth.Dalton's anger reached its peak, and he irrationally rushed over to continue his assault on him.Randall felt wronged for not retal
Randall calmly cut two steaks and placed them in front of Nancy and Nacy."Eat a little more."Nacy nodded, "I was a super big eater! Don't worry about me, okay."Randall smiled and said, "Then I advised Nancy to eat a little more."Nancy dared not look at the other person and lowered her gaze, staring at the beef cubes in the plate and said, "Okay."After a meal, Nancy ate a lot! More precisely, Randall fed her a lot.After lunch, Randall took Nancy home.Nacy was probably starting to feel sleepy after eating a little too much. Her small head drooped, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her round little face.Nancy gently supported her head, not letting her get too tired.Randall glanced at the scene through the rearview mirror and felt a wave of dampness in his heart.No one spoke along the way, but after Nancy arrived at the destination, they bid each other farewell.Nancy watched as Randall's car gr
On the third day, Nancy arrived at the art gallery and saw Randall and Nacy.Randall stood tall and handsome, completely different from the young boy who used to wear a white shirt and jeans.Nancy looked at the man's curved lips and nodded.Nancy ran up to her, looking up, "Nancy, thank you for teaching me how to draw! I was really happy!"Nancy looked at the little girl with two cute pigtails and couldn't help but pinch them, jokingly saying, "I used to be very strict, you know!"Nancy said, "It's okay, Nancy, even if you scold me, I won't cry. I have a super, super thick skin!"She added, "Thick-skinned like dad!"Nancy was amused and said, "Nancy is cute. Let me take you to the art studio."Nacy nodded heavily, "Great! Nacy was really lucky to have such a good teacher to teach me."Nancy took her little hand and looked at Randall, "The gallery has a waiting room where Mr. Murillo can wait. If he's busy, he can come h
Nancy was very surprised by Randall's appearance.She both missed and had to restrain her emotions. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Murillo, I can only paint, I can't do design. You should look for Zoey in that aspect."Randall chuckled, "That was me remembering it wrong, I apologize.""It's okay," Nancy nodded slightly, "If you need any help with other aspects of painting, feel free to come to me."Nancy's words were polite and distant, as if she didn't know him.Randall spoke up, "There was actually something I wanted to trouble Mrs. Jenkins with."Nancy did not correct this title, and she asked, "What's the matter?""Nacy was very fond of painting and wanted to hire a painting teacher. She wondered if Mrs. Jenkins would be kind enough to teach the young girl."Nancy checked her eyelashes harshly, and he actually wanted her to teach his daughter. She felt a sudden pain in her heart.Not only did she not w
Dalton nervously looked at the man, while Russell's gaze remained fixed on the scar on his jawbone.He aimed the phone screen at Dalton and said calmly, "Your scar has been there for over a decade, and although the scar is in the same place, it seems somewhat new."Dalton quickly took the phone and carefully examined it.He was too anxious at the time, and only saw people in the video who looked exactly like him, without even thinking about distinguishing the old and new scars.He furrowed his brow, "It seemed like this."He got up and said, "I'm going to find Nancy to explain this matter.""Wait." Russell called out to him, "There's a question that I find quite tricky."Dalton asked, "What?""Would Amiya take something from you tonight?"Dalton's body stiffened, and a chill ran down his spine.He turned around and rushed out of the office. After he entered the elevator, he looked at the down button and felt anxious.He had no recollection of anything from last night, so it cannot be
Divorce?Dalton's lips tightened into a straight line, and there was surprise and reluctance in his eyes."I was designed, Nancy."Dalton had thought about divorcing many times, after all, the reason he and Nancy got married in the first place was not pleasant.Little did he know that after that time together, he developed a strong attachment to her body.Afterwards, he grew to like her even more.Nancy filed for divorce, and his heart felt like it had been hollowed out.His Adam's apple bobbed as he said, "Nancy, can we not get divorced? I gave her medication, so she won't get pregnant, and I won't have any involvement with her in the future. Can we go back to how things were before? Is not getting divorced okay?"The man, who used to be arrogant and never gave her a second glance, is now humbly begging for her.Nancy would not continue her relationship with Craig, and she did not want to be caught between Dalton and Amiya. She only wanted to give birth to the child.She thought she
Nancy pursed her lips tightly, "You made Dalton answer the phone."Amiya laughed and said, "He used all his strength on me, and now he's already fallen asleep from exhaustion."Nancy's fingers, clutching her phone, gradually tightened. "Amiya, you sent Dalton for this, didn't you? I guess Dalton definitely wasn't willing, it was you who planned it. Have you ever thought about how he will treat you after he wakes up?""I didn't!" Amiya shouted, "Dalton and I were like a raging fire, and after experiencing me, he said you lying in bed was as lifeless as a corpse, incredibly boring.""Amiya, you sent me the address, I was going to find Dalton."Amiya chuckled and said, "It was like a dream!"The phone call was disconnected, and Nancy knew that Amiya had used some means to make Dalton stay.She bit her lower lip and glanced at the time, it was already late at night.She wanted to call Zoey, but the timing was simply not right.So, she prepared to call Dalton's assistant to ask for help in
Nancy returned to the gallery feeling restless, as she remembered Dalton saying he would come to pick her up in the evening.She had already rejected him several times, and if she didn't come up with a suitable reason soon, he would definitely start to suspect.So she called Zoey and asked her to help with opening a report form.Zoey agreed immediately and in the afternoon, she went to the gynecologist and got a report form to deliver to the art gallery.After they met, Zoey and Nancy talked a lot and understood Nancy's concerns."If Dalton really no longer loved Amiya, would you marry him?"Nancy was drinking juice and said, "These days, I felt that Dalton was treating me well, but I didn't know if it was physical dependence or something else."Zoey noticed her lack of confidence. "Nancy, you are beautiful, have a great figure, and are talented. There is no reason for Dalton not to like you. In the past, Dalton may have been distant towards you because he hadn't accepted you emotiona
