"What? Do I look like a shock to you or something?" Bailey kicked Lucas' calf and glared at him.He said, "Not at all. You're a stunner. Is that okay?"Bailey didn't argue with him on that. She was there on a mission, so she cut to the chase. She asked, "Do you have a copy of Mr. Layton's medical reports?"Lucas didn't say anything. Spencer's prediction had come true. He pushed his glasses higher up his nose and asked, "Why do you want to know?"Bailey said, "Because I need it for something, of course."Lucas said slowly and firmly, "That's part of a patient's privacy. Without the patient's permission, I have no right to tell you anything or give you any information on his condition."It's a part of the hospital's policy—keeping a patient's information private and confidential is a doctor's basic duty and principles."Bailey hadn't expected him to refuse her. "But you're the dean of the hospital!"In other words, she was saying that the hospital belonged to him. If he didn't ha

Lucille answered the phone soon. Bailey sighed deeply and said, "The mission has ended in failure, babe."Lucille wasn't surprised by this. Bailey went on to describe in detail how Lucas had bullied her. Lucille's eyes twitched when she heard, and she said helplessly, "Are you sure that's considered bullying? Aren't you just telling me how in love you guys are?"Bailey had nothing to say in response. Lucille continued, "Anyway, what's going on with you two?"Bailey said truthfully, "One of us wants to marry and the other doesn't yet."Lucille placed a hand on her forehead in exasperation.Meanwhile, Lucas told Spencer about Bailey coming to him. Honestly, Spencer was probably the only man who would do something as rash as that when he didn't already have kids. It all boiled down to him loving Lucille too much and not wanting to see her life being placed at risk at all.Lucas sighed to himself and shook his head. Then, he headed to the conference room.On the other side, it was
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 365
Ian was Marcus' youngest son and had been born to him when he was older. Ian was also Marcus' most outstanding and ruthless son—he was the cream of the crop in every aspect.His main base of operation was in West Yodran, not Whiteloop City. However, the people in Whiteloop City were still familiar with him. In Summeria, he was only second to Spencer in terms of his ruthlessness.Now, a tall, slender, and beautiful woman stood by his side. Everyone wondered whether she was his rumored wife.Five years ago, Ian—one of Summeria's most eligible bachelors—had suddenly announced that he was married. No one had heard anything about him having a wedding, though. There was also the fact that he'd basically gone everywhere alone over the past five years.When attending banquets or gatherings, he would generally have a fixed female companion. The woman with him wasn't her, though. That companion was much prettier than the one he had with him today and also more elegant.It was Marcus' birthd
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 366
Marcus' reprimand made the self-confidence that Serena had just mustered disappear. She couldn't find it anymore.She clenched her clutch tightly and lowered her head, feeling awkward and humiliated. She didn't dare say a word. The well wishes she'd thought of earlier were pushed out of her mind, and she couldn't help feeling nervous.Yesterday, Ian had suddenly asked someone to contact her, wanting her to attend a banquet with him. She'd readily agreed. She hadn't thought too much about it at the time and had assumed that it was just a regular banquet.Then, she'd asked someone to help her ask around about the banquet. She'd been ecstatic when she'd learned that the banquet was actually Marcus' birthday celebration.Ian's actions had given Serena the illusion that he'd finally seen her love and that he was bringing her to meet his family. She hadn't expected Marcus to be so obnoxious.Just then, Ian spoke up. His voice was deep and charismatic; it made one feel secure. "Dad, you

"Where did you say Bailey was?" Lucille looked at Lucas.He answered patiently, "She's gone to pick Eunice up. According to her, Mr. Moore Senior put her up to it."Lucille narrowed her eyes. What was Marcus trying to do?Ian had brought Serena with him, so Marcus had asked Bailey to bring Eunice to the banquet.…Ian looked at Eunice, who'd suddenly shown up at the lounge. He frowned and narrowed his eyes, but his gaze was calm and unaffected as he watched her enter the room. Surprisingly enough, she didn't spare him a glance.Serena was also taken aback to see Eunice. The latter hadn't dressed to the nines. In fact, she was dressed plainly. She wore a casual outfit of a simple white coat over a sweater and caramel-colored bell bottoms. Her shoes were plain, white sneakers, and she carried a small black bag.Her long hair was in a loose ponytail, giving her whole look a refreshing, vivacious vibe. Yet, it didn't take away from her usual gentleness and beauty.Eunice had no int
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 368
This was the first time Eunice had seen Ian so compliant and frustrated.As Marcus led everyone out of the lounge, Ian told Serena coolly, "I'll have someone take you home."Serena hadn't been expecting that. She'd yet to have her fill of being by his side. Why did she have to leave so soon?Still, she couldn't object. She only nodded obediently and said shyly, "Okay."She knew all men liked women who listened to them. So, she watched silently as Ian left.Bailey and Eunice were still around. They watched quietly as things played out and saw how Serena's eyes were practically glued to Ian's back.Bailey snickered before sighing and saying, "Some people just can't stop dreaming about things that will never happen and coveting what will never be theirs."Eunice glanced at her and smiled helplessly. Serena's back was to them. She bit her lip, her expression turning ruthless for a split second. But when she turned around, she'd already composed herself and put on a smile.She said,

Since Bailey and Eunice had the same idea, Lucille was diffident. Before this, she'd tried to access the hospital's medical record system to check things out. She wasn't exactly hacking, so it wasn't illegal. She had the right to view it.Everything on the record was normal; it was last year's check-up report.She'd noticed that Spencer went for a regular annual check-up, and since it was almost time for the next one, she figured he could go a little earlier than planned.She suddenly recalled the moments when they had just gotten married. He would subtly and openly hint at her that he wanted a baby. Back then, she'd had her concerns and hadn't fully understood what she wanted, so she kept avoiding it.However, she was sure of her feelings now—she knew he was the only one for her in this lifetime, and she was ready to give herself to him. Yet, he was the one who didn't want to have a baby anymore."I'll leave you both to chat. I need to go to the washroom." Lucille got up and walk
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 370
In the hotel's surveillance room, the footage showed that eight minutes before Spencer had appeared, Lucille had walked toward the washroom. However, just a few steps away, she'd stopped to answer a call. Then, she'd immediately turned around and left. She'd headed for the elevator and pressed the 16th floor button once she'd gotten inside.Mack immediately called Spencer. While walking out, he said, "Sir, Mrs. Layton went to the 16th floor of the hotel and then headed for the rooftop.Zachary had just stepped out and was about to head to the smoking area for a cigarette when he saw Spencer's hardened expression. Spencer was striding toward the elevator with an urgent, panicked pace.Zachary narrowed his eyes as he wondered why Spencer was in a hurry. He'd thought Spencer had gone to look for Lucille in the washroom.He called out to Spencer, but the latter didn't respond to him. By the time he'd reached the elevator, Spencer had already gone up.Then, Bethany, Kent, and Seamus

In the bathroom, Lucille was relaxing as she enjoyed the care she was receiving from Spencer. They had seen each other like this for too long, and they had gotten used to it by now. Of course, it had taken her time to get used to it. Every time she was injured, she would end up receiving this treatment, but… While she might have gotten used to it, it was still a kind of punishment for Spencer."Honey, your shirt is wet. Why don't you take it off?"She noticed that half of his black shirt was wet and sticking closely to his body. The wet shirt perfectly outlined his muscular build.She couldn't help but gulp. This was pretty deadly to her too.He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked simply irresistible. Her heart couldn't help but race. As he carefully wiped her arm, he avoided the injury on her right hand. It was already torture for him to help her bath. However, when he suddenly he

"So, you can't blame Eunie for not telling you, and you can't blame us for keeping you in the dark."In other words, Ian had brought it upon himself, and there was no one else to blame but himself.Ian was rendered speechless. He'd never thought that this was how Eunice saw him—a ruthless person who would get rid of his own child.He mocked himself inwardly. He also felt hurt, as if something were stabbing him.After Lucille was done talking, she saw Ian look visibly upset and didn't say anything. So, she whispered to Spencer, "Do you think I went too far with what I said earlier? Can he take it?"Spencer rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry. He can take it. Besides, what you told him is the truth. If he can't handle it, he isn't worthy to be our buddy."Lucille nodded in agreement after she heard that. What Spencer said made sense. She felt at ease after he comforted her.After a while, Ian finally spoke up again. "So, I shouldn't go and look for her?"Lucille was surprised

"I'm here for you!"Upon hearing that, Lucille was rendered speechless. On second thought, she realized this was fine too.Then, she looked at Spencer and blinked before she said, "Don't leave me. I'm injured right now, so I can't fight him."Ian glowered at her words, feeling at a loss for words. Did he look like someone who would lay a hand on a woman?Spencer looked at her dotingly and responded, "Okay. I won't leave you."Ian was just flabbergasted now."What's the matter, Ian?" With Spencer to back her up, Lucille felt at ease. Even if she hadn't said anything, she knew Spencer wouldn't have left her alone with Ian.Ian suddenly smiled. "It looks like you have quite the luck. The hospital is practically your second home."Lucille was rendered speechless. Then, she smiled and looked at Spencer before she provoked Ian. "My home is wherever my husband is. We're not like some people, for whom having a wife seems to make no difference whatsoever." She'd never lost to anyone b

Ian turned to look at Lucas. It was obvious that he seemed to be wondering why Lucas had asked that. When Lucas saw Ian's expression, he knew that Ian had never thought about it. In other words, he had no recollection of what he had done and said."I'm going back to be with my wife. You guys just carry on." Spencer stood up and smoothed out the creases on his clothes as he spoke indifferently. After all, it had been a while since he'd left the ward.With that, he strode toward the door without waiting for the others to say anything. Connor was eager to see how things would unfold, so he didn't leave.…Meanwhile, after Beatrice left, Spencer returned to the hospital ward. When Lucille saw him coming in, she asked, "Where have you been?"He took off his coat and put it aside. Then, he walked to the bed and sat down. "I went to investigate some stuff."Lucille figured out what it must have been about and asked, "You went to investigate Alexander and my mom?"Spencer, who wa

"Ian, what brings you here?" Connor had no idea about Eunice's situation in Arcania, so he was quite surprised when he saw Ian.Although he was surprised, he wasn't blind. He could see that Ian had a hostile air about him.Looking puzzled, Connor glanced at Lucas, who was seated next to him, for an explanation. After all, he knew Spencer wouldn't tell him.After Ian came in, he didn't even bother to sit and directly asked, "Where is she?"Last night, he'd received Lucas' message—the latter had told him that he knew Eunice's location and wanted him to come to Arcania immediately. That was why Ian had rushed to Arcania without any delay.Lucas hadn't told him the exact location. Instead, he'd just told Ian to come to the hospital. Ian had thought that something had happened to Eunice and that she was hospitalized. So, he'd rushed to the hospital as soon as he'd gotten off the plane. However, after he'd come to his senses, he'd gotten someone to check the hospital's patient list.

Before Beatrice spoke, she looked at the entrance of the hospital ward. After ensuring that no one was coming, she said, "Although we found out that all four of Mr. President's children's last names are Vonridge, they don't seem to be his biological children."Lucille widened her eyes, looking surprised. She cocked an eyebrow and asked, "What did you just say?""They were adopted from the orphanage. Our database has their information, and it's a 100% match," Beatrice replied.Lucille naturally wouldn't doubt that the information in Otearl Alliance's database was incorrect. However, she had never heard anyone mention this before.At the same time, Spencer, who had just left, had gone to investigate something as well.After they'd returned in the afternoon, he'd instructed Kent to conduct an investigation. The news that Kent came back with shocked Spencer to the core.Connor and Lucas were also there. They were in a lounge."Spence, how could Lucille's mom also know Alexander?"

Diana let out a long sigh. Her words were tinged with helplessness and regret. "This is your aunt. She hasn't appeared for more than 20 years. I never expected her to be gone for this long. There has been no news from her. She must hate me very much."Samantha had no idea what had happened. Her aunt's name and everything related to her had always been taboo in the Crawford family."Is it possible that Ms. Deer is my aunt's child?" Samantha asked.If that was the case, it was quite a coincidence.Diana looked at the photo album in her hands. After a brief silence, she said, "I want to meet her. Don't tell anyone about this for now."Samantha nodded. "Okay."…Meanwhile, in Arcania, Alexander also left the venue after Lucille and the others left.After Alexander left, he immediately had someone to investigate Lucille's past. Back then, after Jane had suddenly left, she had covered all her tracks. No matter how Alexander had searched, he hadn't been able to find her. There hadn't

When Diana took a closer look, her hands, which had been leisurely tapping on the armrests, suddenly froze.At first, Samantha didn't notice anything unusual about her reaction."Grandma, the best thing I got out of this trip was getting a photo with my idol." She went on and on. "It's the first time I got to see Ms. Deer's real face, and she's very beautiful. No wonder she always wears a veil. Although she looks aloof, I think the way she talks sounds gentle."By the way, she is married. Her real name is Lucille Johnson, and she's from Whiteloop City in Summeria. There was an unexpected incident during the competition, and it was quite despicable. I didn't expect her family to turn out completely different from how I'd imagined them to be."Samantha pouted as she stared at the photo of her and Lucille. She'd always thought that someone outstanding like Lucille would have a perfect family; she hadn't expected things to turn out like that.After the competition had ended, Samantha

Meanwhile, after Samantha had participated in the perfumery competition, she'd stayed in Whiteloop City for about a week before returning to Crawford Residence in Marvonia.She had been declared the champion of this year's perfumery competition. After she'd returned, she'd chosen to keep a low profile and hadn't celebrated or gone around boasting about it.However, she'd forgotten that Natasha Crawford, her mother, had a strong sense of pride.Since Samantha had been young, she'd had to excel in everything and come in first to meet Natasha's expectations. Only then could Natasha hold her head high and brag about Samantha in front of everyone. At the same time, she could enjoy the flattery from those around her.So, the day after Samantha had returned, Natasha had gathered everyone and thrown a party to celebrate her victory. The room had been filled with people she hadn't known, but they'd all been important figures. That night, after making an appearance, Samantha had left the
