Tiana looked at Wilson. "Do you need something?"Tiana's radiant face and calm demeanor left Wilson at a loss for words. He felt a wave of panic inside and instinctively wanted to call out to her.Tiana noticed what Wilson was thinking. She smiled gently and said, "Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. I wish you and Dr. Gates happiness."Wilson felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak, but Lana smoothly took his arm and said, "Thank you for your blessings, Ms. Ford."Tiana didn't say anything further and left the jewelry store together with Sage.Getting into the car, Tiana told Sage, "Don't hold back, just say whatever you want to say. I'm fine."Sage couldn't help but complain, "What's going on with Wilson? Wasn't he supposed to resign and go abroad? Why is he suddenly getting married to Lana?"Tiana spoke calmly, "It was probably his parents' idea. Dr. Tate is the kind of person who dislikes hassle."Lana is someone who can comfortably take on Mrs. Tate's role with
"I've never been drunk before, so I didn't know what I would do."The next day at work, Charlotte showed me a video of me, after having too much to drink, hugging you in public and saying I wanted to take you home. It's possible I mistook you for someone else."Wilson seemed to have come to terms with the situation. His voice was emotionless, as if he were talking about something that happened to someone else."Dr. Gates said that she initially intended to pretend that nothing had happened and wasn't planning to tell me about it. But a few days ago, she found out that she was pregnant."She told me the news on WhatsApp while I was at the hospital helping my mom with her discharge paperwork. My mom saw the message and then suggested that I marry Dr. Gates…"Wilson didn't show much emotion or reaction the entire time. Tiana guessed that he might have resisted, but he was no match for his parents who were eager for a grandson.Tiana calmly said, "You don't need to explain it to me.
Wilson took out his phone, and Tiana glanced at it casually. The call was from Wendy. It was obvious that she was calling about something related to Lana.Wilson pressed the mute button."Tiana, my parents agreed that as long as I get married to Dr. Gates, they won't bother you anymore."Wilson continued to plead, "I'll be leaving the hospital in the next few days. We won't have many chances to see each other in the future. I just want to give you a gift, so can you really not accept it?""No," Tiana resolutely said. "Wilson, no matter what your reasons were for deciding to get married, now that you've chosen to do so, you should make an effort to make it work."You've hurt me before, so don't hurt another woman again."Wilson wanted to explain but didn't know what he could say.From start to finish, it was he who wronged Tiana. He promised he would only marry her, but in the end, he still compromised with his parents.At that moment, a young nurse, Carrie Garrison, knocked on
"Silly girl, there's no need for thanks between us. As your boyfriend, these are just things I should do."With a mix of tenderness and indulgence, Calvin added, "Tiana, I will make up for all the regrets you have."Tiana felt increasingly warm inside, and her longing to see Calvin reached its peak at that moment. "Calvin, I miss you."Calvin's eyes lit up with excitement when he heard it. "Tiana, what did you just say? Can you say it again?"With her eyes red, Tiana gave him a sharp look and said more clearly, "I said, I miss you. If you don't come back soon, I'll go find you right now!""Really? Then I'll book a plane ticket for you!" Calvin was already eager. "Pack your things. I'll have the driver pick you up from the hospital!""Okay!" Tiana nodded with overwhelming happiness.They didn't notice Wilson, who was standing not far away, looking utterly dejected.Even though Wilson knew that Tiana had a boyfriend and had heard that their relationship was good, seeing it with h
The young people developing the game didn't have much money and chose their studio in a somewhat old neighborhood.This neighborhood didn't have a property management company, nor did it have any security guards for monitoring and patrols.Sage's car was parked in an alley. Although there were streetlights, this place was more secluded compared to busier areas.She was so focused on her phone that she didn't notice what was happening around her. By the time she noticed the two people, they were already right in front of her.Two disheveled men—one tall and thin, the other dark-skinned—were dressed in dirty, shabby clothes.They carried woven bags filled with various discarded items, indicating they probably made a living by scavenging in the area. They emitted an unpleasant odor.Sage fought back the nausea in her stomach and instinctively took a step back.She was standing next to her car. As she stepped back, she ended up leaning directly against the car's body.At this momen
"What's wrong? What happened to you?" Abby walked over and suddenly noticed her arm. "You're bleeding! I'll call an ambulance for you!"Abby was taking her phone out when Sage said, "There's no need, Ms. Sutton."Sage's arm did hurt a bit, but when she looked at the wound, it was only a scratch. It wasn't serious enough to call an ambulance."I'll go to the pharmacy later to clean up and buy some medicine, but let's wait for the police to come first.""But it's best if you go to the hospital!" Abby said with a deep frown. "If it gets infected, it could be serious! My driver is up ahead, let him take you there. I'll stay here and wait for the police!"After finishing speaking, Abby didn't leave Sage any room to refuse and called her own driver."Sage?" a startled and urgent voice called out from the roadside.Sage turned and saw Shane, dressed in a white casual suit, running over from his car.After Shane handled the issue with Lovell for her at the opening ceremony, they hadn't
Seeing Sage still looking back, Shane's expression turned a bit serious. "Why does it seem like nothing good ever happens when Abby is around?"Sage looked away, wanting to tell Shane to stop talking nonsense. But she suddenly felt that Shane wasn't entirely wrong.The first time they met Abby was when they rescued an injured Thorn. Then, a fire broke out in Abby's room in Southbend County. Later, at the moving party, Shane was set up.Following that, someone had tried splashing paint on Sage at Breakthrough's grand opening ceremony.There was also that incident at the golf course last time, where Albert, who was playing golf with Leo, got injured.Even though none of it was caused by Abby, she was indeed present for all of it.Could there really be so many coincidences? But if it wasn't a coincidence, what did Abby's presence signify?Sage couldn't make sense of it and didn't bother trying to guess. She asked Shane, "Aren't you going to see a client? Just drop me off at the cli
Shane ignored her joke and asked with a pained expression, "Sage, do you want me to give up on you?"Sage looked at Shane's somewhat gaunt but still handsome face and said softly, "Shane, you know very well that even after a year, your family won't change their opinion of me."For your family, my past marriage with Ian is something they cannot overlook."If Sage had married an ordinary man before, the Morrison family might still be able to reluctantly cover it up after a year, pretending not to know anything.But her status as Ian's ex-wife was too prominent. The Morrison family, being such a distinguished and prestigious family, valued their reputation too much and would never accept her as their daughter-in-law."So, there's no need to persist anymore. Just go back to being the carefree person you used to be," Sage said earnestly."Sage, do you still not believe in my feelings for you?" Shane's eyes, usually so charming, were filled with sorrow."I do believe it, but the issue
