"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
An unexpected guest had come to Windmere Manor. The phone call Spencer had answered earlier at the hospital hadn't been work-related. It had been about someone in Windmere Manor. Based on the people in the video Lucas had shown them, Mack had confirmed they were from Windmere Manor. He'd also discovered that the man who'd first discovered Lucille swimming up the shore at Solnine River—Tobias—was also associated with Windmere Manor. On top of that, Marie was also currently there. It turned out that every person they'd investigated was linked to Windmere Manor.Spencer was no stranger to Andrew. After all, the former was Jane's son-in-law. Spencer came to Windmere Manor for two reasons: to take Marie home and to find out why blood had been delivered to Lucille during her time of need."Excuse me, Mr. Callaghan." Spencer showed the chivalrous behavior deeply ingrained in him. Regardless of their purpose, they had still saved Lucille's life by delivering the blood so quickly.An
Spencer and Marie had the exact same thought—Lucille might not be happy if she found out the truth. She might even…Jane turned toward Andrew and said, "Please leave the room for us, Andrew." Andrew nodded before leaving the living room with Tobias and Draco. The men Spencer had brought with him also instinctively left the room, leaving Jane and Spencer alone.The two remained silent for a while. To Jane, Spencer and Lucille's marriage was something she hadn't expected. It was also something she hadn't managed to stop. "Why her?" Jane asked as she glared at Spencer. Spencer immediately understood what Jane meant. "It's always been her." His answer clearly showed that his heart had always been set on Lucille. Of course, Jane understood Spencer, too. She was surprised and eyed Spencer with more scrutiny. She'd had her reasons for arranging Lucille's marriage to the Quall family. But she'd never expected the Qualls to treat Lucille the way they had. "Why, Madam Jane? Why
