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
Eli thought hard. She was a person who valued dignity very much in the past. Whenever she quarreled with her boyfriend, no matter who was at fault, she would never be the first to apologize first. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that she had been too immature in the past. Apologizing did not mean that she had embarrassed herself, rather, it meant that she had grown up. Eli raised her head and looked at Sean. "It was my fault for betraying your trust, for not being loyal to you, for forgetting you so easily, for loving someone else so easily. Everything was my fault." "Will you do it again next time?" Sean frowned and asked. "No, I won't." Sean looked at her fixedly, his eyes flashing. Distress was etched on his face. "I forgive you." The corner of Eli's lips twitched. Her eyes were lowered so her expression was hidden. She bowed and said, "Thank you." "However, this is your last chance. Also, don't expect me to marry you. Y
She was too selfish in the past. She didn't want Sean and her child to be in danger. Even though Haward was locked up, she refused to reveal the secret which eventually led to his death. Now, was she going to let her selfishness be the cause of someone else's death again? No, it was a mistake. If she were to reveal it now, the death of countless lives would have been in vain. She couldn't be selfish anymore. She had to hold on with perseverance. Eli replied nonchalantly. "Yes." Sean's expression changed. "Sit down and have some breakfast." Eli thought for a moment, pulled out a chair, and sat down. Sean glanced at Reuben, who then motioned the chefs to serve breakfast. He prepared a cup of milk and pancakes. The pancakes were wrapped nicely so she wouldn't need cutlery. She could just use her hands. Eli wasn't familiar with using cutlery on her left hand. It was much more convenient to use her hands. She hadn't eaten proper fo
