She pinched her thigh hard. Spurred by the pain, she finally managed to rush toward the tub, her voice shaking: "David, don't scare me."She reached the tub and tried to pull David up.Her fingers touched the ice-cold water, making her shiver.Pure cold water.She took a deep breath and gritted her
David gave a complex look at the clearly frightened Selina, curved his lips in self-mockery, and turned to leave the bathroom.At the doorway, with his back to her, he said softly, "I'll be right outside. Just call if you need anything."He didn't wait for her response before gently closing the bath
The couple had obviously fought, and seriously at that.Especially since Selina had looked ghostly pale when leaving David's room earlier.As soon as Selina had returned to her room, David had come out and asked them to bring her food.The bodyguards had exchanged glances before reluctantly taking o
Selina stared silently at Joseph, clearly not believing his words.Joseph, unnerved by her stare, sighed helplessly: "Don't you consider David's feelings at all, or the baby's?"At his words, Selina's bitter smile took on a self-mocking edge.Yes, even Joseph, who disliked David, thought she was bei
"Besides, Mom hasn't taught me how to be a good mother yet!"Selina smiled bitterly: "I don't want to live my whole life in regret. If I do, I certainly won't be able to be a good mother either."Daniel had to admit his daughter knew exactly how to persuade others."But have you considered that if y
Selina stared in shock as David walked in.He wore a black suit, his dark eyes tinged red, lips pressed thin, jawline tense, radiating an intimidating coldness.With long strides, he reached the doctor in a few steps.The doctor looked him over, glanced at Selina, then finally at the examination pap
"Mr. Wilson, we found her, we found her!" Vincent's urgent voice came through as soon as he answered.David realized what this meant and stood up abruptly.Looking at the lit surgery sign, his momentary excitement plummeted."She's at Lumina, but she's demanding half of S Tech's shares..."Vincent t
David held Selina tightly, as if wanting to meld her into his very bones."You're all I've ever wanted," David whispered helplessly in her ear. "If having a child means losing you, I'd rather not have the child."His hopes for this child existed only because it was his and Selina's.That she would g
David glanced at the smiling Nicole, then at Daniel, who though still expressionless, seemed less resistant. He smoothly called out "Mom."After Nicole happily acknowledged him, he called Daniel "Dad."Daniel pressed his lips together but managed a gruff response.Watching this "family recognition"
Mainly, he was worried Selina would rush to Meracia to confront people on Josefina's behalf if she knew the truth.Selina caught something off in his response and was about to question him when she suddenly slipped.Fortunately, David quickly caught her, one hand gripping hers, the other supporting
When Nicole's surgery concluded successfully, both Josefina and Nicole were wheeled out to different rooms.Selina and David went to check on Josefina first.Still under anesthesia, she was unconscious, her face pale.Selina stayed until she woke up and confirmed she was okay before finally relaxing
Worried, William had secretly returned to Meracia, only to find she had taken a leave of absence and disappeared.He couldn't search openly, so he quietly hired private investigators.But then his family's successive crises had forced him to abandon the search.Now, by coincidence, Josefina had reap
When Selina gave her that all-knowing look, Josefina became increasingly uncomfortable, wanting to shrink into herself.When David's people first found her, her initial fear was that Selina had discovered her child and would side with William to take the child away.After all, living with her, the c
Even if Josefina's demands were more extreme than Anya's.After a moment's silence, Josefina said, "I need to make a phone call home before deciding."Selina nodded, and Josefina smiled slightly before stepping outside with her phone.After a while, she returned and nodded to Selina, agreeing to get
When Selina learned Anya's true identity, she was shocked.Now she remembered why the name Anya had seemed familiar. Back in Meracia, Anya was the one who had conspired with the agent to set up William against her. Selina couldn't believe that after she left Meracia, Anya had undergone plastic surg
She had no idea David knew about her other identity."I figured it out when I saw Liam and Noah working for you," David answered honestly.He had accidentally discovered Liam and Noah's identities and guessed her identity from their attitude toward her.That's when he realized that getting S's autho
When Selina asked about it, David realized that his mind had been too preoccupied at the hospital earlier to properly hear what Vincent had said.He called Vincent back.Seeing that David was finally back to normal, Vincent couldn't help but ask what had happened earlier.David glanced at Selina and
