"Where's the patient's husband? Why hasn't he come yet? If he doesn't sign soon, it'll be too late,” a doctor urged."The patient's husband refuses to come. He said to let her fend for herself,” a nurse replied."Fend for herself..." When Suzy Frost, battered and barely clinging to life on the oper
The next morning, after spending yet another night at the hospital because Anne's pain had kept her from letting him leave, Dylan was finally on his way to the office. As they approached an intersection, he suddenly instructed the driver, "Take me to Bayview Heights."He had been wearing the same c
North Avenue was an hour and a half drive from South Avenue.Suzy arrived at the Goodwin family’s estate as promised in disguise. Using the pretense of treating an illness, she took the opportunity to hypnotize Martin. Unfortunately, she didn’t manage to extract any useful information.As she left,
"Two hundred million dollars?" Dylan barely hesitated. "Deal!"Three years ago, after being drugged during an ambush, a girl saved his life despite being seriously injured herself.After a night together, the girl disappeared by morning.It had been too dark that night to see her face clearly, but
Dylan’s eyes shifted back to the balcony, giving Desmond a subtle look.Desmond searched the area and reported, “Sir, there’s no one here.”“Call the doctor.” Dylan’s gaze turned cold. "And tell the hospital to lock down all exits. Not a soul steps foot inside or out without my explicit authorizatio
When Dylan spun the woman around to face him, his expression darkened instantly, like a shadow passing over his features.From behind, she had looked strikingly similar to Suzy, but her front was a different story. Her appearance was plain, a far cry from Suzy’s striking beauty.The fact that he’d e
At the hospital.The moment Dylan stepped through the door, Anne threw herself into his arms. She clung to him like a rag doll, trembling against him. "Dylan, I feel awful... I feel so terrible..."“Where does it hurt?” Dylan tried to push her away, but instead of letting go, she only clung tighter
Just as Dylan was about to pull off her mask, Suzy swiftly pulled a silver needle from her waist and stabbed it directly into his palm.“Ugh...” A sharp pain shot through Dylan’s hand, forcing him to let go. Seizing the moment, Suzy leaped off the balcony.From the eleventh floor, she landed grace
Dylan's heartfelt confession stirred something in Suzy, but she quickly suppressed it."Now’s not the time for romance!" Suzy pulled her hand out of Dylan's grasp again. "There are so many people counting on us to save their livelihoods. Focus, and stop with the useless chatter!"Dylan nodded. "Got
"Dylan..." Suzy shivered, her skin crawling. "At your age, don’t you think this is terrifying? And where did you even learn this from? "Acting cute works for some people, but not for everyone! When others do it, it’s charming, but when you do it, it’s like... like an old bull stumbling into a cos
As Suzy guessed, the person had indeed turned their attention to Dylan.What she feared the most had finally happened. Now that things had started, there was no point in saying anything more. Even if she tried to distance herself from Dylan at this stage, it likely wouldn’t stop the other party.No
Dylan lowered his gaze, watching Suzy’s current state with a mischievous smile. "From now on, if you say anything I don’t like, I’ll kiss you. One word, one kiss."Suzy, having regained her strength, raised her hand to retort. "Do you think you’re—"Before she could finish her sentence, he kissed he
Asking Dylan to persuade Grace was futile. Everyone in the Wright family knew how stubborn she was. Once she made up her mind, no one could change it, especially when it involved Suzy."Suzy," Dylan said, locking his eyes onto hers. "Do you really think I can convince Grandma to stop worrying abou
With a sigh, Suzy turned to face Grace. "Grandma, whoever is behind this is relentless. They clearly want me dead. I don’t want to drag you all into this."Grace stepped closer, gently taking Suzy’s hand in hers and holding it firmly. "Silly child, we’re family. No matter what happens, we should fa
Dylan brought Suzy back to the family estate. Originally, he had planned to take her to Bayview Heights, but after some thought, he decided the estate was a better choice. With Grace there, it would be much harder for Suzy to leave. At Bayview Heights, if she wanted to go, there’d be nothing he c
“So, there was no reasoning with him, was there? "Dylan, I don’t care whether you believe me or not. I’ve said everything I need to say. If you want to leave, go ahead, but I’m not going anywhere!" Suzy struggled fiercely in his arms. "If you don’t want to get hurt, you’d better let go of me rig
"Your imagination is truly impressive," Suzy said with a laugh. "Dylan, do you just want to sleep with me that badly? Is that why you keep deceiving yourself, convincing yourself that the woman that night wasn’t someone else but me? "Are you also hypnotizing yourself into believing that I still l
