"I... I've lost everything..."As Suzy uttered these words, her body began to lean back, and she fainted.Fortunately, Jeffrey had one arm around her back, preventing her from falling to the ground.Jeffrey immediately scooped her up and hurried to the nurse's station. "Doctor! Where's the doctor?! Hurry, someone has fainted!"...Liam immediately had a bad feeling when he couldn't find his phone.He turned to leave the hospital room, but just as he opened the door, he saw his father standing there, accompanied by his mother's primary doctor back in their home country."Where are you going? Your mother's life is at stake, where do you think you're going?"Liam frowned. "I'm looking for my phone.""Looking for your phone? Why can't you wait until your mother is stable?!" William's face was stern, his body completely blocking the exit of the room, leaving no gap.The doctor immediately added, "Yes, Mr. Park, your mother's condition is very critical. She might wake up any moment, or she m
William seemed to understand what he should do and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Liam, as long as you don't push too far, things might still work out. But if you keep ignoring everything for that woman, how can anyone think well of her?" "I was in a rush when I arrived; I hadn't informed her beforehand. Now, I just want to tell her, so she isn't left searching for me in case something comes up.""What could she urgently need you for? Your biological mother is the one in the hospital bed! If she doesn't care about your situation at a time like this, does she really care about you?"Liam did not want to argue with his father at this moment, instead focusing his gaze on the smartphone in his hand.The screen had been dark throughout, and Suzy had not replied.It seemed like nothing had happened......Suzy felt as if she were thrown into a deep pit, surrounded by darkness so intense she could not see her own hands.She wanted to scream but could not make a sound, wanted to run bu
"Is it Mr. Park's child?"Wendy was still reeling from the shock and hadn't quite caught what Suzy was saying.Fortunately, Jeffrey was there too; he quickly closed the door and covered his cousin's mouth. "You’re too loud. Didn’t Suzy ask you to keep this a secret?""But, but..."Wendy couldn't understand why such a matter needed to be kept secret! With a child, she could leverage the Park family. How could they dare to harm her? Shouldn't this child be used as Suzy's protection?"They dare to harm a human life. Do you think they would care about an embryo in my belly?"...Jeffrey nodded; he was somewhat frightened too.If those people had directly targeted Suzy, she wouldn't have had the chance to be lying here now.The power of the Park family was indeed unmatched! Not just in Northorn City, but across the country, there were few who could stand against them. The entire province's revenues and more were closely linked to the Park Group; opposing them was like a fly trying to stop a
In the VIP room of Grace's ward, doctors occasionally came in to check on her, each leaving with a sigh.Liam, who had been standing by the entire time, was visibly anxious.If it weren't for his reluctance to worsen his parents' impression of Suzy, he would have left already!After the attending physician entered and left for the third time, Liam finally lost his patience. "Has Suzy not responded to any messages?""If she had, I would have told you," William replied, pulling out his phone to show him, confirming his statement.Suddenly, Liam stood up and walked towards the door of the ward."What are you doing?" William immediately asked, moving to intercept him."Going for a smoke.""I'll join you."Liam frowned at his father. "Can we leave my mom alone like this?""There's a nurse here. Your mom won't wake up anytime soon, I'll step out with you for some air.""Then lend me your phone." Before William could get angry, Liam spoke first, "I need to give Alec some instructions. It's be
“Suzy and Jeffrey are not in a relationship.”"Ha!" William scoffed. "That's only because you're now an option! Without you, Jeffrey is considered a good catch for someone like Suzy!"Upon hearing this, Liam's brows furrowed deeply."You've even investigated Jeffrey.""I'm worried you might be deceived! You've always been responsible about who you had feelings for and we never needed to worry about you. Back in college, while other wealthy kids were dating and partying, you never got fixated on anyone. Yet, out of the blue, Suzy has captivated you entirely. How can your mom and I not be concerned?""I only want what I desire." The only person he ever wanted from the start until today had only been Suzy.Therefore, Liam's affections had never lingered on any other woman, even before he met Suzy again, he had never developed feelings for anyone else.He loved Suzy exclusively."You'll regret it one day!" William snorted coldly and turned to walk away.Suddenly, Alec's figure appeared at
After disconnecting the call, William didn't send anyone else to stop Liam.He thought that if his wife had witnessed their son's expression at that moment, she might have also considered backing out.Just that look alone made William certain that Liam would indeed sever ties with him because of Suzy....After leaving the hospital, Liam got straight into the car.Even without saying anything, Alec knew where to drive Liam to.On the way, Liam kept calling Suzy, but she never picked up the phone."Did you contact Suzy today?""No, she mentioned she was going for a health check-up. I thought since she finally took a day off, it wouldn't be right to bother her about work," Alec paused before continuing, "After you instructed me, I tried reaching out, but still no answer."Liam's brows furrowed deeply as he stared intently at the phone screen.Soon, the car reached Easter Bay, and sure enough, upon opening the door, the place was deserted!Suzy was not at home.Seeing the darkness gradual
"It's nothing, I'm just tired." Suzy dodged his hand as he reached for her wrist. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."Alec, caught between the two, looked lost and unsure of what to say.Liam's dark eyes glanced at him as he said in a deep voice, "You should go back, Alec.""Alright."After he left, Suzy had already proceeded into the bedroom by herself.Liam stood at the entrance for a while before slowly walking over and gently pushing open the door.Suzy was already lying down on the bed with her clothes on and eyes closed—it was unclear if she was really asleep.Pausing for a moment, Liam was about to leave and have someone investigate what exactly had happened to Suzy at the hospital when suddenly, Suzy called out to him!"Liam, I’m exhausted.""...Then rest, I won't disturb you, I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."Suzy sat up in bed, her gaze serious as she looked at him, her lips moved a few times, but she couldn't quite say what she wanted.Liam walked back and sighed deeply. "O
Suzy looked utterly exhausted, the kind that suggested she couldn't bear to utter another word to him, not an act by any means.In fact, she really wasn't in the mood to talk.Her mother's funeral was set for three days later. With hardly any relatives or friends around, she didn't want Liam to know, so she planned to keep everything simple.After she spoke, the room fell into dead silence again.With a heavy heart, she looked up at Liam, this time without dodging his gaze, her eyes void of emotion. "Can you leave now?""Alright, I'll go. We'll talk more tomorrow.""What's there to talk about? Haven't I made myself clear, Liam? I used to believe that being with you would pave the way for success, but now I've come to see how difficult your family can be. I can't tolerate their condescending behavior anymore; I don't want to be with you. Do you get it?"Suzy knew if she merely said she was tired and wanted to break up, he wouldn't believe her, so she had to mix truth with lies."I'll fi
