Royce pressed his forehead, he was awake but had a splitting headache.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked over and Lothair walked in.
"What happened?" Royce's voice was low.
Lothair replied, "You had too much to drink, so I took you back to your room to rest. As I was about to leave in the car, I received a call from Mr. Brodie, who told me to find you because there was an urgent matter. So I went back to the room and saw a crowd of journalists gathered at the door, which was also open. When I went inside, I found you and Ms. Braun on the bed, you were unconscious and Ms. Braun's clothes were disheveled."
"What?" Royce looked at him in shock, "You didn't close the door when you left?"
Lothair assured, "Absolutely, it was closed. I would not make such a basic mistake."
Royce's face turned serious as he took the clothes handed to him by Lothair and began putting them on. "How did you handle it?"
Lothair replied, "Derick ha
Royce arrived in front of the operating room door and saw Mya sitting on the waiting chair, with both hands covering her face.He slowed down his pace, and Lothair came up to him."Viviana's condition was very critical, and she had already received two death notices."Royce didn't know why, but he felt very sad.To be honest, he quite liked the little girl named Viviana. She was very cute and had an interesting way of speaking.Evelyn saw him coming and immediately approached, "What are you here for?"Royce noticed her rejection, but he simply said in a low voice, "I heard the child is having surgery, so I came to take a look."Evelyn thought that he knew about Viviana's background, so he came to question Mya, so his attitude was inevitably a bit hostile.Hearing the sound of voices, Mya glanced sideways.The moment she saw the man, her nose felt sour. She didn't expect Royce to come.Did he know about Viviana's b
Mya lowered her gaze, her voice sounding dull, "What right do I have to care?"Royce held her chin, "I only kissed you, and I only have you."Mya looked up at him and saw sincerity in the man's eyes, "Only me?""Yes, only you, I, Royce, have had only one woman in my life."Mya pursed her lips and said, "So, where is Hailie? Someone said you two were sleeping together just now."Royce explained, "Both she and I were drugged by someone."Mya's face changed suddenly, and her body became tense.Royce laughed and said, "It was a sleeping pill, not that kind of medicine. Even if it was, I could still control myself. The only thing I can't control is you."Mya blushed."Mya, never leave me again in the future, okay?"Mya sniffed, "You really didn't mind me betraying you?"Royce held her close and planted a kiss on her forehead. "I don't mind, you must have your reasons. I'm frustrated because you're timid and afra
Mya looked around and saw a clean and bright room, beautifully decorated in the French style that she loved.She pursed her lips and said, "This was the place where you kept your mistress."Royce knew that he had brought her here before as his lover, so she had some resentment in her heart.It was his fault, he wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate against her and humiliate her.He wanted to see her in pain and discomfort, thinking it would bring him satisfaction, but it didn't.He even thought about proposing to Hailie to provoke her, but when he found out that he and Hailie were lying on a bed, even though nothing had happened, he felt dirty.He was not punishing Mya, but punishing himself.He held Mya's hands and sincerely said, "Mya, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that."Mya shook her head, "It was my fault, I shouldn't have betrayed you.""It was my fault for not doing well enough, for not giving
Royce walked up to the woman and said, "How should I seek revenge? You, and your family, who should I start with?"Monica's pupils contracted, "I switched the results of the paternity test, but it didn't prevent you from recognizing each other, right? I don't know anything about the allergen data, I swear it wasn't me who leaked it."Royce chuckled, "Impeding my recognition, if we hadn't found out ourselves, when would I ever know that I have a daughter, who is going through the torment of illness. It was Hailie who made you do it!"Monica shook her head, "No, it wasn't, it was my own choice."Royce looked at Russell and asked, "Were her family all in Woodmerrow?"Monica widened her eyes and asked, "What are you going to do?"Russell looked towards the door, and a bodyguard walked out, quickly bringing in an elderly couple.Monica saw two people and exclaimed, "Dad, Mom!"Monica's father, Caleb Morrell, walked over and raised h
Royce whispered in her ear, and Mya went from furrowing her brow to relaxing her brow.She nodded, "I agreed."Royce embraced her and kissed her forehead, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let her go."Mya looked up and said, "I wanted to go to the ICU today to see Viviana."Royce nodded lightly, "After we finish breakfast, let's go together."It had been six years since they last saw each other, and Royce's culinary skills had greatly improved. They sat side by side, and he continuously served Mya with dishes.Mya's face was puffed up from eating. "Royce, I couldn't eat anymore.""Have some more to eat, you have lost a lot of weight recently."Mya nodded, "Viviana recovered from her illness, so naturally I had an appetite."Royce said, "If you liked to eat crab yolk buns, I would go buy them."Mya shook her head, "It was too far, don't bother."Royce sighed lightly, "I'm sorry, the things you heard in th
As the words fell, Viviana blinked her sparkling eyes in disbelief."Dad, Daddy?"Royce nodded and smiled gently, "Viviana, I was your father."Viviana thought for a moment and said, "So, Mom, during the time of my surgery, you found a foolish rich man?"Everyone burst into laughter.Royce raised his hand to his forehead, his precious daughter really gave him a lot of joy and surprises.He was quite helpless, "Yes, during the time of your surgery, your mother and father recognized each other. I, Royce, am your biological father, which means I have acknowledged you as my daughter."He held the little girl's soft hand and said, "Viviana, I was your biological father. Do you understand?"Viviana finally understood this time, she was never without a father, her father did not pass away, her father was right in front of her.She sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "Well, even though you're not very smart, you have good looks
Layne entered the ward and saw Viviana lying on the bed, listening to a story."Viviana!"The little girl's eyes lit up, "Layne, you're here!" she said, and she was about to get out of bed.Royce could only put on her shoes and carry her off the bed, "You can't run or jump, understand?"Viviana nodded and walked up to Layne. "Last time Layne came, I wasn't even out of bed yet. This time, I'll take a few steps for him."Layne laughed and said, "You did a great job."Viviana said, "Once I had finished the bone marrow transplant surgery, I would be able to run and jump. Even if I fell and scraped my skin, I wouldn't be afraid anymore."Layne nodded, "I will take you to play with Evelin when the time comes."Viviana asked in confusion, "Who is Evelin?""Evelin was my girlfriend," Layne explained.Zoey: "..."Viviana thought for a moment and straightened out the connections, "So that means he is my younger sibli
Viviana Keller?The little girl smiled, her eyes curved, "Viviana Keller sounds better than Viviana Hayes! I like it!"Royce lifted her up, slightly crouched, and matched Mya's height, with both of them sandwiching Viviana in between, each kissing her cheeks.Viviana laughed happily, her little hands wrapped around the necks of the two people, and she shouted loudly, "I had a dad! I had a name! I was the happiest child in the world!"Mya shed tears, Viviana went through so many hardships, but she could still smile at life.The happiness that children wanted was very simple. It could be an inexpensive toy, a lollipop, and the love of their parents.Not far away, Zoey looked up, trying to hold back her tears.Russell grabbed her waist and asked in a low voice, "Were you moved?""No." Zoey didn't want to be laughed at by the man, so she immediately denied it.Russell nodded and said, "I understood.""What do you unde
Nancy trembled with her eyelashes, feeling the scorching breath of the man.Her hands trembled as she tightly grasped the man's shirt, a piercing pain shot through her, and she felt like her whole being was about to be torn apart."Ouch!"The painful sound of a woman came, and Dalton also felt that barrier.So that night, nothing happened between them, and now it is the woman's first time.Dalton looked at the tears in the corner of Nancy's eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, "Be good, I'll be gentle."He was clear-headed and knew that they were just a business alliance, perhaps one day they would get divorced, and he should stop.But at that moment, he simply didn't want to stop, and this feeling was very peculiar.He was a medical student and had performed many dissections and surgeries. The human body held no fascination for him.Even the most beautiful bodies were just organs to him in the past.Before, he was attr
The air froze at that moment.Nancy looked at this scene in shock, Dalton's face covered in cream.Luckily, when Nyasia was cutting the cake, the candles and the cake stand fell to the ground, otherwise Dalton would have definitely gotten hurt.Nyasia was not from a wealthy family, so how could she afford to compensate Dalton?Nancy pulled Nyasia behind her and said, "Sorry, Dalton, Nyasia didn't mean to. Don't be angry."Nyasia rolled up her sleeves and said, "Scumbag men and cheap women should be taught a lesson!"Nancy looked at Mario and said, "Mario, you take Nyasia and go first."Mario watched as Dalton raised his hand to wipe the cream smeared on his face, knowing that not taking Nyasia away would only make things worse.He grabbed the person around the waist and carried them into the elevator. Before the elevator doors closed, he saw Nancy going to wipe Dalton's face.Nancy was pushed away by Amiya. "Dalton, are
Dalton?Nancy hesitated for a moment, looked inside, and saw Dalton sitting on the couch, lazily leaning against the backrest, drinking a glass of wine by himself.She was afraid that the people inside would see her, so she immediately hid to the side of the door.Dalton's voice came, neither loud nor soft, with a casual tone, "The wedding at home is being prepared."Elliott Moody approached him and said, "Amiya is not leaving this time, she's staying in the country. She's now a famous wedding dress designer! She left in the first place for her dreams, so why do you think she's back now? Surely it's for you! Don't you want her anymore?"Nancy spoke softly, her body stiffened, and her fingers also closed together.She waited for the man's answer, but the man remained silent.Footsteps were heard, and she immediately turned and left.Standing on the terrace, facing the cool breeze, Nancy, who was dressed lightly, felt even colder
At the toast session, Carsen accompanied Carolyn, who had changed into an evening gown, to go table by table to propose toasts.Carsen drank red wine, while Carolyn drank juice.Zoey raised an eyebrow at Russell and said, "Carolyn has arrived, are you ready?"Russell had long noticed that Carolyn was eager to come to this table to propose a toast. He chuckled lightly, "Of course."In no time, Carsen and Carolyn came over. They first toasted the elders and then started toasting in order of seniority.First, it was Royce and Mya, Brodie and Joselyn, Madeleine and Kristian, and then it was Zoey and Russell.Carsen looked at Russell and said, "Russell, thank you for taking care of Carolyn all these years. Come, Carolyn, let's have a drink with Russell."Zoey smiled and said, "Wishing Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn a hundred years of happiness!"Russell nodded and raised his glass, "Cheers to Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn's happy mar
Carsen and Carolyn's wedding took place the next day, and the whole Woodmerrow knew that the Maddox family and the Keller family were getting married again.Everyone who was anyone in Lochcliff was invited, including the big shots in the medical field. Some people joked that this wedding was starting to resemble a medical conference.However, this time everyone was not very concerned about the grandeur of the wedding, but rather particularly concerned about the issue of the names used between Russell, Zoey, Carsen, and Carolyn.After all, it was a wedding, so there wasn't that much tension in the air, and that's when this kind of sound started to appear among the guests.Zoey nudged Russell's arm with her elbow, "What should we do? You're going to call Carolyn 'Sister-in-law' in a little while, are you nervous?"Russell's lips curved slightly, "I dared to ask, would she dare to agree?"Zoey stifled a laugh, "This is hard to say, Carolyn has
Viviana's surgery was very successful, and the little girl was finally going to recover after undergoing two major surgeries.After waking up from the surgery, her first question was, "Where is my father? Is he okay?"The man who had been hiding behind Mya suddenly couldn't hold back his tears, as he had wanted to surprise Viviana.Royce walked out, holding a bouquet of red roses. The man in his thirties had tears streaming down his face as he choked out, "I'm here, Dad is doing well."Viviana revealed a row of sparkling white little teeth, "Daddy, even when he cries, he still looks so handsome!"Royce squatted in front of the hospital bed, holding the little girl's small and soft hand, and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "So, Daddy has gotten old, huh?"Viviana laughed and said, "Dad used to be a handsome guy when he was younger."Royce smiled and said, "Thank you for your fair assessment of me."Viviana laughed and said, "Da
Royce's ward was unattended, and the cleaner stood at the small window, looking inside. She saw a man sleeping soundly, and she gently pushed open the door to the ward.She tiptoed to the bedside and took out a handkerchief from her jacket pocket, quickly covering the man's mouth and nose.She didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so she immediately went to the cleaning room and brought the wheelchair.With great effort, she helped Royce onto the wheelchair and placed a duckbill hat on his head before leaving.After a series of twists and turns, she took the person out of the hospital and moved them onto a black car, driving away.She couldn't contain her excitement, it was just too smooth, it seemed like the heavens were helping her.After passing a red light, she stopped and turned around to look back, only to find Royce fast asleep.She wanted to wait until she arrived at the place, and she was determined to win him over and make him
After Royce got on the car with Mya, clusters of fireworks bloomed in the sky.He opened the skylight, and Mya looked up. The fireworks were colorful and accompanied her all the way.Fireworks bloomed all the way from the villa to City Hall, a distance of twenty-five kilometers.The whole city was immersed in love, and pedestrians on the street couldn't help but admire.I don't know whose girlfriend, fiancée, or wife is so lucky to receive such love and pampering.Mya covered her mouth, afraid that her crying might ruin the beauty of the fireworks.The car stopped in front of City Hall, and Royce unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to embrace the person.Mya sobbed, "Royce.""I was there, I have always been there.""Thank you.""Silly little fool, don't say thank you to me anymore."Mya shook her head and withdrew from the man's embrace, saying earnestly, "I want to say thank you, thank you for al
Viviana Keller?The little girl smiled, her eyes curved, "Viviana Keller sounds better than Viviana Hayes! I like it!"Royce lifted her up, slightly crouched, and matched Mya's height, with both of them sandwiching Viviana in between, each kissing her cheeks.Viviana laughed happily, her little hands wrapped around the necks of the two people, and she shouted loudly, "I had a dad! I had a name! I was the happiest child in the world!"Mya shed tears, Viviana went through so many hardships, but she could still smile at life.The happiness that children wanted was very simple. It could be an inexpensive toy, a lollipop, and the love of their parents.Not far away, Zoey looked up, trying to hold back her tears.Russell grabbed her waist and asked in a low voice, "Were you moved?""No." Zoey didn't want to be laughed at by the man, so she immediately denied it.Russell nodded and said, "I understood.""What do you unde
