The discovery of three bodies buried weeks ago raised a pressing question. If Winnie were still alive, who did those bodies belong to?

There were too many unanswered questions. Ben decided to focus on calming Jamie for now. “Even if you want to look into this, now isn’t the time. Let’s get back in the car, and we’ll figure it out later.”

Jamie, reluctantly, let herself be ushered back to the car. The planned lunch outing was abandoned.

Charlie woke up from his nap in the afternoon, ate the meal the housekeeper prepared for him, and promptly went back to sleep.

In the bedroom, Jamie lay on her side, her mind replaying the woman’s side profile over and over.

It did resemble Winnie in some ways, but the more she thought about it, the more doubts crept in. Had she really mistaken someone else for her sister?

Ben moved quickly. After reviewing the street surveillance footage his assistant retrieved, he came to tell her, “I had the cameras checked. There’s no sign of Winnie

    Ben had prepared an evening gown for Jamie. It was a strapless champagne-colored dress that fit her perfectly. However, having not worn such formal attire in a long time, Jamie felt a bit awkward, checking herself repeatedly in the mirror. “You look stunning, Miss Lewis. It fits perfectly,” the helper said with a smile. Jamie returned the smile but didn’t say much. “She’s right. It suits you perfectly.” Ben’s voice suddenly cut through the room. Jamie turned to find him already dressed in a sleek suit, complementing her gown perfectly. Her discomfort grew, and the helper, sensing the tension, quietly excused herself. Ben stepped forward and revealed a necklace. “A gown like this needs the right jewelry. I picked out a necklace just for you. Try it on.” Jamie instinctively tried to refuse. “That’s not necessary…” But Ben’s calm demeanor left no room for negotiation. Before she could resist further, he clasped the necklace around her neck. The moment it sett

    The ring started at a million, and Jamie’s opening bid instantly doubled the price. Her boldness drew a noticeable shift in the way others looked at her. In that moment, Jamie was no longer just Ben’s companion. She stood out as an individual. Ben’s eyes flickered briefly with surprise, but it quickly settled into a sense of quiet admiration, as though this was unexpected yet entirely in line with what he had imagined of her. In the end, Jamie won the ring with her two-million-dollar bid. Though the price far exceeded what she initially planned to spend, she didn’t regret it. When the item was delivered, Ben took it for safekeeping. “You seem to like this ring a lot.” “Well,” Jamie replied, her tone evasive, “you said the auction proceeds go to charity, right? So, it’s not really a loss, is it?” Jamie lowered her gaze, her lashes brushing against her cheeks as her eyes swept over the red velvet box. Her response was evasive, her expression unreadable.Ben frowned,

    “Do you think the person we saw earlier was Winnie?” Jamie gripped his arm tightly. “I have to go back and check. The fire was so intense. What if she didn’t make it out?”Even imagining it made her feel like she couldn’t breathe. Her sister had died in a fire.What if Winnie was still alive but ended up perishing in the flames because of her negligence? How could Jamie ever forgive herself?“Jamie, don’t go back. The police have already sealed off the area,” Ben said, stepping in to stop her.“But if that was Winnie…” “You said it yourself. You’re not certain. So why risk your life for a possibility? Have you thought about what would happen to Charlie if something happened to you?”There was another thought Ben didn’t voice. “What would happen to me if you were gone?” he muttered to himself.Jamie stared at him, tears streaming down her face. Heart aching, Ben pulled her into his arms. “I’ll have my assistant help you look into it. Let’s go home first.”Hearing the wor

    Jamie quickly said, “No, Mommy’s not upset. Why would you think that, Charlie?” Charlie leaned into her touch as she gently patted his head to comfort him. “But Mommy doesn’t seem as happy as before. Why is that?” “Because grown-ups always have a lot on their minds,” Jamie said, looking at his innocent face. She didn’t know how else to explain, so she left it at that. It was true. What else could it be but worries? Charlie seemed to understand a little, though not entirely. He grabbed her hand and said earnestly, “Then I hope Mommy won’t be sad. I’ll share half of my happiness with you!” Jamie couldn’t help but laugh. Her mood instantly brightened. After playing with Charlie for a while, he ran off on his own, leaving Jamie thinking he probably couldn’t sit still. She didn’t worry since he usually didn’t go far. But Charlie had other plans. He went straight to the bedroom door. “Uncle Ben, I did what you said, but Mommy still won’t tell me. What should I do?”

    Jamie was clearly displeased with Ben’s attitude. “You’re doubting my sister?” she snapped. “That’s not what I meant,” Ben said, rubbing his temples as he realized how poorly he had expressed himself. But Jamie wasn’t in the mood to listen. “Ben. No, I should call you by your real name, Jack Green. Do you even understand how much she sacrificed for you? How could you doubt her?” “Jamie, I told you that’s not what I meant—” Jamie cut him off. The joy she had felt just moments ago now felt like someone had dumped cold water over her. She had come to him, ready to share her excitement, hoping he would help her bring Winnie back. But Ben’s reaction left her utterly disappointed. The slight thaw in Jamie’s attitude over the past few days visibly froze over again. “It’s my fault for thinking you’d understand how I feel. I should’ve known better. Men really can’t be relied on.” Ben finally snapped. He grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to face him. “You think I d

    “Wilfred?” Nina froze for a moment, then her face lit up with a genuine, radiant smile. Wilfred glanced at Gemma beside her and returned the smile. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.” “Are you here to see Charlie? I noticed the medical kit in your hand.” “No, I came to deliver some medication for Jamie.” Wilfred explained briefly, mentioning that Jamie had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Hearing this, Nina’s face clouded with worry, and she immediately wanted to visit Jamie to check on her. Wilfred reassured her, “Don’t worry. Her condition is much more stable now. While this illness can be serious, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Her sister’s death was a severe blow, combined with other factors, that triggered it.” “That’s a relief,” Nina said, visibly relaxing. They chatted for a bit, and Wilfred’s gaze softened as he asked, “How have you been lately?” “I’m doing well. What about you?” Nina paused, then smiled in return. “The hospital keeps

    Ben stared at the plate of orange slices. Jamie instinctively reached out to take the plate away. “Your Uncle Ben doesn’t eat—” “Thank you, Charlie. I happen to feel like having some oranges,” he interrupted smoothly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Jamie froze for a moment. Wasn’t Ben known for being picky, never touching food that didn’t look perfect? And he rarely ate anything prepared outside his own kitchen. While Jamie stood there, still surprised, Ben casually ate two pieces of the unevenly cut orange slices and even went as far as to compliment Charlie. “You cut these very well.” As Charlie beamed with pride, Jamie could only look at the plate of roughly cut orange slices in disbelief, unable to muster a single word of praise. *A little while later, after sending Charlie off to play in his room, Jamie sat down across from Ben. “You’re here for something, aren’t you?” “You don’t have to treat me so coldly,” Ben replied. “And how sh

    Jamie couldn’t shake the strange feeling in her heart, like she had been set up somehow. Was it just her imagination? Shaking her head, she walked into the kitchen. Behind her, Charlie immediately stopped wiping his tears and sneaked a glance at her as she busied herself. “Uncle Ben, did I do a good job just now?” Ben smirked. “Perfect.” The little boy and the grown man shared identical mischievous grins. *After lunch, Charlie clung to Ben, refusing to let him go. Jamie wanted to intervene, but Ben glanced at his phone and said, “The meeting was canceled. It’s fine. I have time.” And so, Ben ended up staying, playing with Charlie until evening. By the time the sky darkened, even Jamie felt a bit dazed, realizing she had somehow let Ben stay the entire day without really noticing. When she walked him to the door, Ben handed her a small velvet box. “This is for you.” “What is it?” “Open it and see.” Hesitating, Jamie opened the box, and her breath caugh

    The Stone family wasn’t just greedy. They were relentless, always pushing boundaries and expecting more.Karina sighed. “It’s not that I can’t stand up to them, but sometimes it feels unnecessary. There are things that just can’t be explained.”Wilfred didn’t press further. “Pack your things and come with me. I have to travel for a project negotiation that will help our hospital continue expanding.” He was determined to firmly establish himself in Birkham, not just for his professional ambitions but also because Nina was there. Wilfred wanted to protect her and mentor his students, ensuring they could safeguard Nina’s children in the future. “But didn’t we already promise a patient that we’d perform surgery?” Karina asked, a little hesitant. “I’ll arrange for someone else to handle it.” While Karina might have been the better choice for the surgery, Wilfred had other options, including pulling Caleb in at the last minute. “Alright,” Karina replied. Since Wilfred had

    Sera blocked Karina’s path, her expression cold and disdainful. “You think you can just use that money to brush me off? Do I look like someone who needs your measly cash?”She grabbed Karina’s arm tightly, her nails biting into her skin. “Let me make this clear. If you don’t do what I’ve asked, I’ll ruin you, Karina. Completely.”Karina’s fear was palpable, but the thought of endless torment and manipulation was even more terrifying. She met Sera’s fierce gaze with a calm, unyielding stare. “Do whatever you want. But let me remind you, the money you gave me? I’m willing to go down with you if it comes to that. My life might not be worth much, but you’ve worked so hard to get into Wilfred’s hospital. Are you really willing to throw that all away?”Sera faltered. She had worked incredibly hard to get where she was. Countless sleepless nights studying, memorizing every detail of her medical texts, and enduring the challenges of difficult patients had pushed her to the brink. She often

    Sera’s gaze was so sharp it felt like it could pierce through Karina. Karina hadn’t expected her momentary greed to create such a mess. If she couldn’t stay a doctor, she would have no source of income, and her life would spiral further out of control. “Please, don’t do this. Tell me what you want, and I’ll keep helping you. Maybe… I could spike his drink for you again, or set up another opportunity,” Karina said, grabbing Sera’s hand out of desperation. Sera clearly wasn’t short on money. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to give Karina such a large sum back then.All she wanted now was to secure her position at the hospital.Sera pulled her hand away, a mocking smile on her face. “Set up another opportunity? Do you think Wilfred would fall for it twice? Do you take him for an idiot, Dr. Norman?” Wilfred wasn’t an idiot, and ordinary drugs didn’t seem to affect him much.Karina felt utterly helpless. One wrong step had led to another, and now she had no idea how to

    “Starting today, you’ll officially resume your position as my assistant. I trust you’ll adapt quickly,” Wilfred said firmly. Karina’s eyes lit up with a hint of surprise. “Dr. Wilfred, really? I’ll do my best to fulfill the responsibilities of the assistant role.” Wilfred stood up and walked over to her, giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Familiarize yourself with the current work schedule and the relevant materials. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me. I have confidence in you.” Karina hesitated, a trace of worry crossing her face. “But… I’m not sure this is a good idea.” Wilfred already had an assistant. If Karina agreed to take the position, wouldn’t that make her a target for trouble from his former assistant? And then there were all the people at the hospital who were infatuated with Wilfred. Lately, she had already been spending more time with him, drawing enough attention as it was. If she officially became his assistant, she’d surely

    Back home, the first thing Karina did was take a shower, cranking the water temperature to the highest setting as if that was the only way to wash away the grim memories of the night.She scrubbed her arms fiercely, the spots where those repulsive men had touched her. Even through her clothes, the thought made her feel sick. Again and again, she lathered herself with soap until her skin turned slightly red, but no matter how hard she tried, the discomfort in her heart lingered.After her shower, Karina changed into clean pajamas and sat on the edge of her bed, unable to sleep. Her gaze fell on her phone. She hesitated for a moment before sending a text to Wilfred.“Dr. Wilfred, I’m truly grateful for your help tonight. I’ll never forget it.”After sending the message, she set her phone down, hugged her knees, and curled up on the bed. Returning to the hospital had always been her dream, but now she worried whether she could truly meet expectations and not let Wilfred down.As she

    The men exchanged uneasy glances, hesitating for a moment before reluctantly mumbling, “Sorry,” to Karina. Wilfred watched their retreating figures with thinly veiled disgust. Turning to Karina, he asked gently, “Are you okay?” Karina shook her head lightly, brushing it off. “I’m fine, Dr. Wilfred. Thank you.” Wilfred let out a soft sigh. “Come with me. You shouldn’t be working here.” Karina nodded, following him out of the private room. Wilfred guided Karina through the bustling bar. The pounding music and chaotic chatter seemed distant and muted, fading into the background as they moved. They made their way to the parking lot, where Wilfred opened the car door, carefully helping Karina into the passenger seat before getting in himself and starting the engine. As Karina buckled her seatbelt, she turned to Wilfred with a look of curiosity. “Dr. Wilfred, didn’t you say you had things to handle at the hospital? How did you get here so quickly?” Wilfred kept his ey

    When Karina stepped into the room, one of the men, his gaze hazy from drink, chuckled and said, “Well, so this is the beauty they sent over?”Karina forced herself to stay calm and replied politely, “Good evening, gentlemen. Here’s the drinks you ordered.” She began placing the drinks on the table one by one, hoping to finish quickly. Before she could finish, another man grabbed her wrist and yanked her toward him. “Come, have a few drinks with us, sweetheart.”Karina’s heart raced as she pulled her hand away with force. “Sir, I’m just here to deliver your drinks. I don’t entertain guests.”The men burst into laughter. “What bar do you think you’re in? There’s no such thing as not entertaining here. Don’t play coy, sweetheart. Sit with us, and you’ll be rewarded handsomely.”Fear surged through Karina as she instinctively stepped back, trying to maintain some distance. “I’m really just here for work,” she said, her voice trembling. “Please respect me!”But the men, emboldened

    The woman leaned closer to Karina, lowering her voice. “You ruined my fun. The manager and I were having a great time, and you interrupted us. You need to make it up to me.”Karina’s frustration flared. “I didn’t mean to interrupt. The door wasn’t fully closed, and I was only there to talk about resigning.”But the woman wasn’t about to let it go. “I don’t care. You need to make it up to me. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your night will go smoothly or that you’ll get to leave this job without issues.”Anger surged through Karina. “You’re being unreasonable! I didn’t do anything wrong!”The woman sneered. “In this bar, what I say goes. If you don’t cooperate, I have plenty of ways to make sure you can’t stay.”Karina knew arguing with her in this chaotic environment would only make things worse. But the idea of being bullied like this made her seethe. Taking a deep breath, she tried to stay calm. “What do you want me to do?”The woman’s eyes gleamed with triumph. “It’s simple. Ha

    A strikingly glamorous woman sat perched on the manager’s lap, the two locked in a tight embrace, passionately kissing. The scene was nothing short of intimate, their connection palpable.Karina stood awkwardly at the door, caught between stepping in and retreating. She coughed lightly, trying to get their attention.Hearing the sound, the manager gently pushed the woman aside and turned toward the door. His expression showed no embarrassment; instead, he appeared slightly annoyed. “Karina, why didn’t you knock before coming in?”Karina forced a smile, her discomfort evident. “The door wasn’t fully closed. I didn’t mean to interrupt. I’m here to talk about resigning.”The manager adjusted his clothes, gesturing for the woman to sit aside. He raised his brows slightly. “Resign? Why the sudden decision to quit?”Karina bit her lip nervously. “It’s for personal reasons. I really can’t continue working here.”The manager leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest. A f
