Freya might be smiling, but her words were extremely cold. Lucas fell silent with his mouth set in a grim line.Lucas was a proud man full of ego. Freya was unreserved in front of the young. That made him extremely embarrassed. It was unbearable."Must you be so aggressive?" he questioned.Sage and Jace’s faces turned darker as soon as he questioned Freya. They both stepped forward and kept Freya protected behind them."Chief Spencer." Sage said sternly, "Today’s incident seems to be none of your business. Why are you standing up for Miss Luna? May I understand your relationship with her? Are you her spouse or immediate family?"Sage’s harsh questions made Lucas even more embarrassed. He pursed his lips tightly and refused to speak. Luna stepped forward and held Lucas’s arm again. She formally announced, "Lucas and I might not be married, but we’re dating. Why can’t he stand up for me?""Are you in a serious relationship?"Sage scoffed and asked, "Miss Luna, are you assumin
Jace said in an icier tone, "What if I was not there? What will happen then? Maybe we will meet at the hospital instead of here."This was the first time Sienna had seen Jace’s savage side. She trembled and widened her eyes in fear.She could feel his burning rage when she looked at him. She felt scared. It was her first time seeing him lose his temper. She had never seen him so angry, not even at the wedding reception when he saw her unsightly photos or the day he demanded the breakup.Jace could barely hold back his anger. The scene of the BNW car driving straight toward Sage continued to flash in his mind. The car kept going faster and faster like it was a rocket that went whoosh.It was like that year when he watched his mother jump from the balcony. Everything happened so quickly that he could not even blink…He could not imagine what he would do if something had happened to Sage right under his nose.The atmosphere between both sides suddenly tensed. Suddenly, a painful gas
After leaving the police station, Sage and the rest did not go to the hospital. Instead, they went to a health center.This was a famous health center in Nadeem City with a sign at the entrance that read Samuel Health Center. The health center had a rustic feeling to it, and it occupied almost half of the street. The group could smell the scent of herbal medicine from a distance away.Countless patients were waiting for their turn as the staff attended to them in an orderly manner. The rooms were separated and could easily be seen with a glance.After getting down from the car, Jace pushed Freya into the health center. The rest of the crowd followed behind them.The staff came forward to greet the guest. He was shocked to see Ross and Sage and hurriedly invited them in with a surprised and delighted expression. He shouted happily, "Quest! Master Ross and Aunt Sage are here!"The health center's director, Ross's oldest disciple, Quest, was in charge of the consultation in the hall
Yoel thought to himself, 'I'm an idiot if I eat another pistachio in my life!'Emily nonchalantly peeled off the pistachio shell and chatted with Yoel. "Brother Rich, did I cause you a lot of trouble because I like you?" Yoel was so moved to hear that and almost cried. The child finally realized the trouble she had caused him! "Yes, that’s right, I feel very troubled."Yoel was not afraid of hurting Emily's feelings at all. He said to her sternly, "Kid, you should focus on studying and improving yourself daily. Don't think about falling in love all the time. That's for adults.""Oh." Emily lowered her head sullenly and retorted softly, "I'm good at studying. Besides, many are pursuing me in school. However, my brother said they're all unworthy and told me to open my eyes to the world around me." Yoel silently pressed his lips. Were all children now so precocious?She was so young. Why did she know so much?"Yoel." Emily raised her face and gazed at him with her clear eyes. "
Sage flashed a cold glare at Lucas, warning him."There’s hope for her legs to recover, but it’ll depend on her perseverance. The good news is the result of our joint efforts and her good luck. This has nothing to do with you, Chief Spencer. Please keep that in mind.”To Sage, Lucas deserved to carry the weight of the guilt for a lifetime.Lucas moved his gaze to Sage and took two steps forward."Sage, you’ve been married to Jace for years, but we’ve only met a few times. I understand that you have a problem with me because of my long history with Freya."Sage remained silent and waited for him to finish his sentence. What he said next was just as she expected.Lucas wore a troubled expression and said, "You dislike me, and that’s fine. Even so, I have to speak on behalf of Luna. Please have mercy on her. It hasn’t been easy for her to achieve what she has today. If she’s detained, her career will be ruined."Sage could not deal with Luna because of Freya. Therefore, she made Lu
Freya spent most of her time in a wheelchair, but she could still feel her legs. It was a good thing. At least the nerves on her legs were not completely paralyzed. She thought it was too ugly to walk with a limp, so she stayed in the wheelchair whenever outside. She had a strong will, so she often practiced walking by herself in private.Sometimes, a man’s strong perseverance was the most important key. It was precisely because of her constant practice that made everything possible.When Sage was still staying with the Yuriel family, she often massaged Freya’s legs and studied her leg injury. However, she did not expose her real identity yet, so it was not nice to treat Freya’s legs brazenly.It would be hard to treat Freya’s legs. When she jumped from the balcony upstairs, she suffered damage to her spinal nerve, causing her to limp. It would be difficult to cure her condition. It was not the case of hip and knee joint disease, which could be cured by replacing the joint with
Sage remained impassive. She raised her eyes slightly and met Freya's gaze. Freya's eyes resembled Jace's a lot.She said slowly, "Aunt Freya, I'm grateful for the kindness I received, but I'm also very vengeful. I hold grudges against those who have hurt me. In the past three years, I hid my identity and married Jace. I have no regret staying by his side to take care of him. However, we're not fated, and there's a beginning and end to everything. I've suffered enough, and I don't want to go through it again."Her intention was clear. Freya sighed. "I understand. When I was young, I was more stubborn than you. I couldn't lose. When I first knew about Lucas's affair with Luna, I couldn't accept it. I made a big fuss over it and fought with him. Many advised me not to divorce. After all, how could a man stay loyal forever? They said hard days would pass eventually. Besides, I had a child."She scoffed bitterly. "I didn't care about them at first. I wasn't the one who cheated, so why
Looking at Sage's stiffened expression, Jace answered, "I understand."When Wendy came in, her eyes were still red. Freya looked pale and languid. Her tiredness was evident in her eyes. Freya always appeared strong-willed outside. However, deep inside, she was just another ordinary middle-aged woman. Time left its traces on her like the fine lines at the corner of her eyes."Wendy, bring the mirror over. I want to look at myself in the mirror."Wendy gave her a round mirror. Freya looked at her reflection in the mirror and observed the wrinkles on her face. She had not looked at herself so seriously for many years. In her memory, she was much younger than the reflection in the mirror.Freya did not have so many crow's feet before. Her features were not this sharp either. She remembered the paper's comment on her beauty before. They called her a soft woman with strong features.A certain newspaper had called Lucas and her the perfect couple and a match made in heaven.Ha. Perf
