Bailey entered the ward with crossed arms while staring at the couple on the bed. She scoffed, and her voice dripped with mockery. "And here I was, worrying about how weak and uncomfortable you'd feel after you wake up. It seems like Mr. Layton is all the medicine you need!"You're not only fine but drenching in honey, aren't you? Gosh, I shouldn't have been worried sick. Are you trying to make me jealous?"Dumbfounded, Lucille was just about to say something when she saw Lucas embracing Bailey from behind.Bailey struggled briefly and glared at him. "What are you doing?"Lucas lowered his gaze and locked eyes with her. His smile seemed gentle, but his words irritated Bailey. "I can be your medicine too, babe. And I promise to be sweeter than Spence. "You don't have to be jealous of anyone; I can give you exactly what you want. Not only will it be sweet, but it'll also be nice and comforting."Bailey was astounded by the switch in his demeanor. Since she'd gotten to know him o
At Villa No. 9, Draco reported the recent events while drinking water. "Uncle Andrew, she was at the hospital for two days and was discharged today—"An irritated Andrew glanced at him. "Can't you drink after you finish speaking?"After gulping down the last drop, Draco argued, "What are you rushing for, Uncle Andrew? It's not like I'd run. I'm thirsty and need water to replenish before I can continue."Andrew was at a loss for words. After taking a breath, Draco continued, "I discreetly had someone ask one of the nurses at their station, and there's no useful information…"He quickly changed what he was going to say when he saw that Andrew was ready to raise his arm. "But I hacked into their computers and found this." He passed his phone to Andrew.After looking at it, Andrew headed upstairs.…Lucille rested for another two days at home. The following day, she was about to head out to Star&Ciel Group when she received a text message from an unknown number.The message mention
A notification came in, and Draco received a message from an unknown number. He was stunned upon seeing the content.Tobias glanced at him. "What?"Draco showed him the message. "I know you guys are behind me. I need you to lose the other people tailing me at the next intersection."Tobias looked calm, making Draco even more baffled. "Wait, why aren't you in shock?"Tobias replied, "What's there to be shocked about? She knows about us.""She does, but how did she get my number? This is my private one!" Draco seemed extremely surprised and curious.This time, Tobias cast him a disdainful gaze. Draco narrowed his eyes, growing increasingly confused. "What's with that look?""Have you been watching too many cartoons lately that you've started losing common sense?" Tobias was openly contemptuous. "Did you forget what her fucking job is? What's so surprising that she got your number? And why are you acting like a celebrity whose private number got leaked? Use your brain for once, d
At Creekside Villa No. 3, Eunice had been waiting for Lucille and Bailey. When she heard a car driving through the garden, she quickly got up and opened the door.Eunice was overjoyed to see Bailey and Lucille get out of the car. She'd been so bored staying there alone.In the living room, Bailey observed the villa, which could only be described as massive.Eunice felt like a burden and was rather embarrassed when she saw Lucille. After all, the latter had first offered to let Eunice stay at her apartment and now her villa."Just settle in comfortably, Eunie. I want you to be happy and safe while you have my godchild." Although Lucille was usually aloof, she perceptively saw through Eunice and effectively persuaded her with a different approach. Bailey stared at Eunice's bump, saying, "Well, I'm not as extravagant as your godmother. Maybe I'll take you to a five-star restaurant once you come to this world."The three ladies chatted about the baby. They could tell Eunice had expe
As soon as Spencer entered his office, he asked, "Did you come to have lunch with me, Ian?"Ian crossed his legs and leaned against the couch, his posture lazy yet carefree. However, his expression was as dark as ink, and his gaze exuded extreme coldness.Spencer naturally ignored that and strode toward his desk. Then, he sat down and looked at Ian with a faint smile.Ian narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "You've got some nerve to ask me that."Crossing his legs, Spencer intertwined his fingers before his chest and feigned ignorance. "What's wrong? You still haven't found Eunice?"Ian pursed his lips and used the same tone as him. "What's wrong? Shouldn't you know the answer to that best?" In a battle of wits, the smart ones would either cut straight to the heart of the issue or feign ignorance while knowing the exact truth.Spencer calmly replied, "I thought you knew I'm only interested in my wife." He implied that he had no concerns regarding Eunice's business.Ian wa
Mack arrived outside the office and was ready to knock on the door when it swung open, letting a breeze of cold air out. Caught in a daze, he swiftly made way for the person leaving the office."Mr. Moore, how…" He was about to say more but shut his mouth when he was met with a chilling, harsh gaze.Subsequently, Ian strode off and left. Mack hesitated about whether to follow him and see him to the elevator. In the end, he decided against it to save himself from Ian's wrath.At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder what Spencer had done to anger Ian. He waited a few seconds before entering the office and closing the door. "Boss."He saw Spencer seated in his office chair. The latter's demeanor was calm and dignified, marked by his usual aloofness, which created a striking contrast to Ian earlier."What's up?" Spencer looked up at him.Mack instantly turned solemn. "Boss, we tried our best but couldn't locate Zing. The base can't wait any longer."Spencer contemplated briefl
Spencer asked, "Who are you with at the cafe?"Lucille could already imagine the look on his face as he typed those words out. It was a simple question, but it was enough to convey his feelings.A hint of slyness flitted past her eyes, and she answered, "With someone who can make you jealous."As soon as she sent that, he replied, "Who is it?"The dominance in this question was evident. At the same time, Sabrina's voice fell on Lucille's ears. She looked up at Sabrina, her expression cold and uncaring. "Get to the point, please."Sabrina was incredulous when she saw how calm Lucille was. She ignored the warning in the latter's tone and said, "I said that I got into the finals of the International Perfumery Competition."Lucille merely said, "You just don't understand human language, do you? I'm not here to listen to you spout nonsense. Can you get that?"Sabrina felt humiliated. She thought Lucille would be surprised or resentful upon hearing the news, but the latter was so calm
Sabrina stopped beating around the bush. She'd already achieved her first goal in seeking Lucille out, anyway. She smiled creepily and said, "You've been trying to find out the truth about your mom's death, right? She didn't actually die of an illness."Lucille's expression remained calm when she heard that, but her gaze turned cold. Sabrina didn't want to go into detail on the matter. Instead, she continued, "If you want to know everything, come to this place at 2:00 pm tomorrow. Someone there will give you what you want."She pulled a piece of paper from her bag and placed it on the table. She warned, "Remember to be there alone."Lucille looked down at the paper and committed the address to memory. In the next second, Sabrina took the paper back and tore it up, throwing the pieces into a nearby trashcan. She knew Lucille had a good memory and wasn't worried the latter would forget.Meanwhile, Spencer couldn't sit still after not receiving a reply from Lucille. He called her;
