"Honey? Honey?" Spencer called out to Lucille twice.Lucille suddenly heard a familiar voice before she reacted. She shifted her gaze and saw a familiar face.She parted her dry lips. Her voice was so hoarse that it didn't sound like her usual voice when she said, "Honey."Spencer stared at her without blinking. When he heard her call him, his eyes brimmed with tears. He cupped her face in his hands and leaned in to kiss her forehead."I'm here," he said gently.He pressed the button by the hospital bed. After a while, Lucas came in with his team. When he saw that Lucille had woken up, he let out a sigh of relief.After all, apart from the fact that she was Spencer's wife, she was also Bailey's best friend. Yesterday, Lucas had had to repeatedly coax and reassure Bailey that Lucille would wake up the next day before he could get her to go back to sleep. Otherwise, she would've insisted on staying up all night. With Spencer around, Bailey's presence wasn't necessary.After a th
Although Lucille was a little dizzy, she knew what they were talking about.With his other hand, Spencer reached out to take his phone. He opened WhatsApp to view the video Lucas had just sent him. Spencer didn't recognize that person, but Lucille did. She glanced at the video with the corner of her eyes and immediately recognized the figure.It was Andrew. So, he was the one who'd delivered the blood in time to her several times.Lucille had investigated before, but she hadn't found any useful information. She wondered why Andrew hadn't hidden anything this time. What was he up to?Initially, Lucille had planned to go along with Taylor's plan to let herself get injured so she could lure the mastermind. However, she'd miscalculated—she hadn't expected Taylor to involve Lila and the sniper.Jumping into Solnine River had been her last resort. At that moment, it had been only her chance to survive.Surprisingly, she'd survived by chance."Do you know him?" Spencer asked when he
"Bailey, what do you think you are doing in front of everyone? Get down!"Bailey had just jumped onto Lucas when she heard a familiar, cold voice in the hospital ward. She leaned against Lucas' shoulder and turned to look at the doorway when she heard the voice.Then, she cursed inwardly when she saw Ian. The floor was cold, and she didn't want to come down.Ethan teased, "Ian, don't be so rigid. It's just us, so there's nothing to be afraid of."Actually, Ian didn't approve of Bailey and Lucas being together. However, he hadn't sorted out his own problems, so he wasn't in the mind to care about her.But now that he'd happened to catch her in the act, it was a different story."I'll repeat one more time! Get down!" Ian's expression hardened, and he narrowed his eyes as he warned Bailey.It was the first time Bailey talked back to Ian. "No. I'm not wearing shoes, and my feet are cold. If you are willing to carry me, I will come down."Ian's temples throbbed, and he was rendered
Eunice had disappeared without a trace.Ethan and Zachary weren't idiots. They could tell something was off right away. It seemed like Ian hadn't found Eunice yet.They felt Ian shouldn't have acted so foolishly if he'd known things between Eunice and him would end this way. Although Eunice might appear weak, she actually had a tough side. She could be really ruthless when she meant it.Ethan suggested, "Luce is injured, isn't she? Since Eunice and her get along well, she would come and visit, right?"He knew Ian understood what he meant.Ian glanced at Ethan before he patted his shoulder and strode away.Zachary glanced at Ethan indifferently. "You're adding fuel to the fire."Ethan retorted, "I'm just helping him out."Zachary rolled his eyes at him and ignored him. Then, he turned and knocked on the door of the hospital ward. He was here to talk to Spencer about something important.Spencer heard a knock on the door as he was helping Lucille to lie down so she could rest.
In one of the villas at Creekside Villas, Eunice was scrolling Instagram. Just then, she came across a post that left her utterly distressed.Since she was unable to reach Lucille, she called Bailey to confirm the news. "Hello, Bailey. Did something happen to Lucy?" "How did you find out?" Bailey asked.She'd purposely kept the news from Eunice because she hadn't wanted to worry the latter. Besides, it would be bad if Eunice ran into Ian.So, she avoided giving a direct answer to Eunice's question.Eunice asked worriedly, "So how is she doing now? I want to visit her."Bailey explained everything and also told her that Lucille had woken up.Eunice was frightened when she heard what Bailey said. First, there'd been an explosion, and then Lucille had jumped into Solnine River. Eunice wondered what Lucille had been through. "I think it's better that you don't go. You're still pregnant. Besides, Spencer is there to accompany her. Our presence isn't necessary," Bailey said.Eu
Marie creased her brows. She had never heard of Windmere Manor before. It was neither Lucille's nor Spencer's home. After five minutes, Marie sat on the couch in the living room, watching the wheelchair-bound person sitting before her. A recognizable face appeared in view. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Marie looked horrified. It was the first time she had experienced such a shock in all 60 years of her life. If not for her healthy heart, she would've been scared stiff by now. "A-Are you… really Jane?" Marie stammered, her hands trembling where she'd placed them on her lap.This was utterly absurd.Jane, whom Marie thought had been dead for over 20 years, had suddenly appeared in the flesh before her. How could she not be shocked? She couldn't believe her eyes.Jane sat in the wheelchair with a blanket covering her legs. Her hands were clasped together and placed above her thighs. She looked so frail that it was as if a light breeze could blow her away. But that didn'
After a few seconds, Spencer noticed Lucille staring at him and looked up. He closed the folder and walked toward her. He leaned and asked softly while patting her head, "How do you feel?"Lucille blinked. She shook her head before smacking her slightly dried lips. "I feel hungry." Spencer chuckled. He helped Lucille sit up, but she couldn't lean back since her back was injured. Spencer poured her a glass of water before taking out a thermal lunchbox. He placed it on the overbed table and laid the food out in front of her. "You can only have chicken noodle soup for now." Spencer noticed Lucille's furrowed brows when she saw the food. "I made it myself." Lucille looked at Spencer and blinked. "If we were in a soap opera, the male protagonist would lie that his maid made it instead of directly telling the female protagonist he made it himself." Spencer's eyes glittered with affection. Playing along with Lucille, he asked, "Is that so? But why?" Lucille replied, "So that t
"We'll see based on how you perform," Spencer said. Lucille wasn't stupid. She knew what Spencer said was practically meaningless since it all depended on his decision. Meanwhile, Bailey and Lucas were looking at the couple through the glass window in the door. While Lucas' expression remained fairly composed, Bailey's mouth was in an "o" shape, indicating how taken aback she was by the scene.Damn! Were pigs flying or what?Bailey was utterly surprised by the groundbreaking scene. "My babe actually knows how to pout?" Bailey asked in disbelief. "And here I thought there was no chance she would pout in her whole life!" Lucas understood why Bailey was surprised. After all, he was equally surprised by Spencer's behavior. He'd seen Spencer blowing on the spoon right after Lucille had put it in her mouth. Wasn't Spencer a germaphobe? How could he tolerate that? "Spence actually didn't mind the fact that that spoon was in Luce's mouth?" Lucas asked. Lucas was standing behi
