Pain. So much pain. Her whole body felt uncomfortable as if it had been shattered into pieces. The pain seemed to emanate from her bones. Could it be that she had ended up in hell instead of heaven? Even breathing hurt. She felt like there was something up her nose. It felt hot. Eli opened her eyes, and there was a white light. The light was very dazzling. She closed her eyes again. So, this was how it felt to die. There was pain all over her body. Could it be that her soul had burned along with her ashes? Or did she accidentally suppress her soul or something? That white light should be the way forward. She struggled to open her eyes again but the light was too bright, so she closed them immediately. "Mr. Yaleman, she is awake. Miss Wayne is awake!" Someone shouted excitedly. Miss Wayne was awake?! Was she not dead? She jumped down from the 101st floor and didn't die. Was she being protected by an angel? She couldn't believe such a
Eli felt that Sean had gone crazy. He had lost all his conscience and sensibility. She sneered, and her gaze sharpened. She looked directly at Sean. "I didn't want to be this petty since I've always lived my life so carelessly. But since you're so hellbent on who owes who, let's count, shall we?" "What?" Sean frowned. "My parents died because of you. My arm and my friends are all gone because of you. Yes, it's true that you've lost your position as President because of me. But you had the power to decide what to do. You may hate me, but what I've done to you is not even a tenth of what you've done to me. I don't see how you have any right to take revenge on me," Eli shouted. "How could you compare all those with what I've lost?" Sean blurted out. "Maybe I can't," Eli was very emotional. "Maybe it's because you are superior while I am just some average plain jane. Now, I have lost everything, while you are still sitting high and mighty on your throne. Isn't
Reuben smiled and looked at Eli's broken arm. "I see you all the time to be honest. You're very unique. You never cry or look sad. You still manage to be high spirited in such a situation. That's great." Eli looked at her missing arm and took a deep breath. "If it was the old me, I would have drowned myself in tears. When I was younger and I accidentally got a cut on my finger, I cried for hours. But as I grew older, I realised that crying was pointless. If something has happened, it's happened. Crying won't change anything." "I've read about an artificial limb that is capable of sending nerve impulses to the brain. It looks exactly like a real arm too. It'll be a little troublesome at first, but it'll be very useful once you get used to it. I have a friend who works in the research center. I can ask him to get you one," Reuben suggested. Eli shook her head with a smile. "Let me tell you, I'm dumb and I forget things easily. I've forgotten the pain now that my wound h
Oddly, she didn't feel sad at all. Her heart was so calm that even she found it surprising. Perhaps, she had already expected this scene today, so she felt nothing when it happened. She looked at Reuben, who was also looking at her. "If we see them, we should avoid them, right?" Eli asked calmly. "Yes, try not to wander about in front of them unless there is a special need to. I have already allocated people to serve by their side. The kitchen has also prepared the ingredients for today. It's October, so the crabs will have eggs. Before they eat, we have to go make sure that everything is in order. " Eli nodded and said, "Then, what do we eat for lunch? I haven't eaten crabs for a long time. I kind of miss eating them. A Country has delicious crabs, especially those from the lake. They are very fresh." Reuben smiled. "I've prepared six for them. The crabs will go to waste if they can't finish them. I can give them to you instead." "Reuben, you'
She, too, wanted to leave. However, Sean would definitely take his revenge on Stella if she died or disappeared. "Actually, his life lies in my hands. I would like to see how he plans to torture and anger me," Eli looked at her missing arm and said, "I might be willing to make just about any mistake." "Mm? You sound amazing," Reuben continued after her. Eli smiled. She felt that she was pretty amazing too. She punched Reuben lightly on his shoulder. Reuben quickened his steps and his face turned even redder. ...... Sean's car was in the front, while Eli and Reuben followed in a car behind them. Reuben instructed Eli on what to do. Eli memorized all her duties and the things she needed to pay more attention to. "I will be nearby." Reuben repeated. Eli's eyes curved into a smile. "You're younger than me. Let me count, you're younger by about six to seven years. Why are you acting like an old man?" "You look like a gi
"How does it feel?" "Excuse me, your grapefruit juice is ready," the waiter interrupted. "It's quite a relaxing experience. Your whole body is floating in the air, kind of like you're flying. Your back goes numb. It doesn't hurt and then you feel nothing," Eli explained. "Doesn't sound convincing to me. You'd better hurry and bring the grapefruit juice over," Reuben reminded. "What's the hurry? They're busy flirting with each other anyway. My presence there is like a third wheel. It'd be so wasteful if I were to serve it and they only drink one cup of the juice. Who knows? Maybe they sent me away on purpose," Eli said leisurely. She lifted her cup casually and took a sip of the juice... She realized what she had done. She looked at Reuben and said to the waiter awkwardly, "Sorry, could I trouble you for another cup of juice?" Reuben was amused by Eli's words. He was in no hurry to urge her to leave. However, Sean was in a hurry. He checke
Eli tugged at Reuben's shirt and spoke with a pout, "Reuben, please keep it for me. I have a bad memory. I'll lose all my money if I forget all about it." Reuben shook Eli's hand off. "Then remember this, there is still hope as long as you're alive. Doing stupid things brings no benefit to you." He left angrily. Eli raised her head and stared at the ceiling. Her eyes were red, and she was in a daze for a long time. After a while, Reuben came over with a distraught expression. "Mr. Yaleman is angry. They want to start playing but no one is picking up their balls." Eli touched her nose and asked, "Is it my job to pick up the balls?" "Yes, that seems to be the arrangement," Reuben said worriedly. Eli made an 'okay' gesture and said, "I'll head there right now. I was driven away just now, so you can't blame me." "I don't blame you. I'm just worried about you. Mr. Yaleman obviously wants to vent his anger on you. Be careful," Reuben reminded.
For a moment, Eli felt an urge to ask, "Could they grow an arm for me?" However, she did not have the strength to ask. She lost her arm because she had jumped off a building. She wouldn't have known that she lost an arm if she had died then. However, he was one of the reasons she committed suicide in the first place. Forget it, there were too many grudges between them. He hurt her, and she hurt him. All in all, they were a burden to each other. She couldn't keep track anymore, nor did she want to. She was tired. Now, she was more and more fond of sleeping. When she fell asleep, she could have all kinds of beautiful dreams. She could dream of the life she wanted to live in her sleep. Although it was just her imagination, she wished that it was all real. "Doctor, she had woken up just now. Why has she passed out again?" Sean asked in a panic. "We will try our best," the doctor promised, trembling. Eli slept again for
