Melody hoped from the deepest parts of her heart that Nathan was Xander. "Fee, do you remember that not long after Caterpie had just been promoted to assistant to the CEO, Xander had come to our place once?"Felix answered, "The look he gave me that day was so terrifying. How could I forget? We then ate grilled food together. Xander had explained this in the past too. He said that he had come on that day to look for Caterpie due to matters at work."Melody continued, "He, a CEO of the Zane Corporation, would personally come to look for Caterpie? What kind of work would be unable to be talked about over the phone and require you to personally come to look for Caterpie personally?"The things that they were discussing had already run through Abigail's mind once. After carefully counting the days, both of them said that the day Xander came to their rented apartment was the exact same day she and Xander returned from a business trip in Valtara.Xander had said he wanted to go on a date

Felix logically analyzed it for her. "Firstly, I think Xander isn't a good person. Secondly, his status isn't something we regular people can match with."Melody continued, "Xander was never close to the opposite sex, so how is he not a good person? Besides, he had already married Caterpie. They're husband and wife; why aren't they matching?"Felix spat out, "Ptui, what do you mean not close to the opposite sex? Caterpie saw with her own eyes that Xander had sex with another woman the other night. They said that marrying into the wealthy would be complicated. There's no benefit to it, with many cases of people being chased out. Since our Caterpie is so innocent and cute, there's an even bigger chance of her being scammed."The news of Xander sleeping with another woman was like a mega bomb that blew up and caused Melody's brain to buzz. After a long while, they could hear her weak voice say, "Didn't Caterpie just say that the person who cheated wasn't Xander?""Do you believe her?"

Felix looked at Melody disgustedly. "Your values align with other people's facial features. You're truly hopeless."Melody replied righteously, "There are many people in society who are like this. I'm not an exception."Abigail held onto the marriage certificate that felt as though it weighed a ton and got up slowly. "Both of you continue packing. I'm going to ask Xander face-to-face."Felix also stood up. "It's so late; it's not safe to let you go out alone. I'll accompany you there."Melody instantly pulled Felix back. "Caterpie is driving there. There won't be much danger.""Mhm, I'm driving there." Abigail turned around and returned to her room.Felix was furious. "Melody!"Melody answered him, "What are you doing following too? To be a third wheel? I warn you, don't disturb our Caterpie from making a child with Xander. Both husband and wife are gorgeous, so the baby they give birth to will be super beautiful. In the future, I'll be the child's godmother. If I bring that chi

Upon arriving at the hospital parking lot and parking her vehicle, Abigail remained seated within, her mind awash with images. She found herself recalling the numerous interactions she had had with Xander over the past year. To her, Xander was an outstanding boss; he defended his subordinates, treated them with respect, and made sure they were well-compensated. Likewise, she respected him and defended him. If he were ever in danger, she would not hesitate to risk her own life to save him, but she had never imagined him to be Nathan, her husband. After sitting in the silence for what felt like an eternity, Abigail took in a deep, cooling breath before exiting her vehicle and heading toward the hospital's inpatient department.At this hour, visiting hours were well over. But this hospital was owned by Xander's family, and one word from him could easily grant anyone visiting rights. Abigail spotted Dr. Sander waiting for her at the entrance while she was still a fair distance away. She h

Xander had not expected Abigail to bring up Nathan, and it set off a flicker of unease within him. "Why the sudden question?"Abigail managed a small, forced smile. "Just looking to understand him better, from another perspective."Her smile did not reach her eyes; Xander noticed but did not press. "I've told you before, Nathan and I are very close, almost like one person. If you ever need something from him and can't reach him directly, you can always tell me.""And how did you meet?" Abigail asked. "The Harts are just average folks, hardly noteworthy in Florivera."With practiced ease, Xander spun a tale. "Our grandmas were close friends. They would often arrange for us to play together, so we've known each other since we were children.""Oh..." Abigail let out a soft sound, then switched gears. "And your wife? You've been ill, and yet she hasn't been by your side?""She wasn't aware of my illness initially. Once she found out, she came straight away," Xander replied.'Is he t

Xander's hand was large and attractive, the fingers long and well-proportioned, knuckles prominent. Perhaps it was the force he used, but the veins on the back of his hand were noticeable, adding a hint of ferocity. Abigail withdrew her own hand, resuming her seat. "Mr. Zane, what would you like to chat about?"Seeing her sit back down, Xander felt relieved. "We don't necessarily have to talk about anything, just sit with me for a while longer. If you find conversing with me dull, you can play on your phone." He merely wanted her company, to be able to see her was enough. He dared not wish for more.Since he had said it that way, Abigail saw no reason to hold back. She took out her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Nathan.Abigail: [Nathan.]As expected, Xander's phone, which he had set aside, buzzed.Continuing, Abigail sent a second message: [We.]Xander's phone buzzed again.Immediately following, Abigail sent a third message. How she wished Xander's personal phone would n

"Ugh..." With one hand clutching her chest, Abigail attempted to push Xander away. But he stood before her like a mountain, immovable. In her desperation, she even tried to use her legs. "I said back off! Don't touch me!"Xander held her firmly, his handsome face clouded with concern. "Abigail, stop struggling! Tell me what's wrong!"Perhaps it was the power of his aura, or maybe after working under him for so long, she had developed a muscular obedience to him. When he told her to stop, she indeed ceased struggling, compliantly lying in bed, like a lamb ready for slaughter. She had exhausted all her strength in vain attempts to break free from his grip, and now, it felt like her thoughts were controlled by him too. For a moment, Abigail felt like a tiny pet in his hand, toyed with at his whim, unable to escape unless he released her. This realization drove her to emotional collapse."Can't you hear me telling you to let go? Who are you? What do you want?""Alright, I'll let go for

Dr. Sander's unfinished sentence was cut off by the closing door.Concerned, Xander turned to Abigail. "You shouldn't mind what others say.""I won't." Abigail helped Xander back onto the hospital bed. "Mr. Zane, you need to lay down. I'll call a doctor to hook you back up to the IV.""Alright."Immediately, Abigail summoned a doctor. The doctor initially had a list of precautions to share with her, but a single look from Xander silenced them. After administering the IV, the doctor departed. Once they were alone, Xander said to Abigail, "Sit down. There's something I want to tell you."His command compelled her to sit, regardless of her internal resistance to him. She complied and settled in the chair. "Mr. Zane, what did you want to talk about?"Seeing her calm demeanor restored, Xander felt somewhat relieved. "I'm not sure what exactly happened to you. But no matter what it is, you can always confide in me."Abigail gathered the courage to meet his gaze. He was typically indif
