A female colleague passing by immediately showed a surprised expression. Nathan couldn't hold his face and angrily glared at his assistant beside him.
After all, it was he who had the assistant choose a gift for Isabella. He had no idea that the assistant would be so dismissive towards her.
Isabella kept her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart, and she expressed her extreme disappointment in Nathan, saying, "So, my gift wasn't even bought by you, right?"
Nathan shamefully reached out to hold Isabella's hand, but Isabella's hand recoiled.
Nathan hesitated for a moment, then forcefully pulled her to the side. "Bella, I handled this matter improperly. I promise to make it up to you with a gift that will truly satisfy you."
Isabella said, "Nathan, don't deceive yourself. You didn't love me. What you loved was just something inside me."
In one sentence, Nathan's self-righteousness hit the nail on the head.
Nathan was a person who ca
Isabella, who had been gentle all her life, showed her true strength for the first time, but it was only to seek justice for her daughter.When she appeared before her attending physician in the identity of Mrs. Hill, the doctor clearly panicked upon seeing the sinister gleam in her eyes."Isabella, why did you suddenly come to me? Is there something you need?" She casually responded to Isabella, while searching for a way out."You see, I was almost late for work. Can you wait until I finish work to talk about it?"Isabella stared coldly at her and said, "You didn't have to rush to work because doctors like you, with dishonest intentions, probably won't be able to work in the future."The doctor's face turned slightly pale as he tried to remain calm and said, "What do you mean? Why can't I understand what you're saying?"Isabella handed over her evidence, and the doctor saw Isabella's medical report and the empty pill bottle... Her hand, as
Stubborn Isabella eventually did the impossible. She gathered evidence of Master Moore and the doctor's crimes, but little did she know, in the end, she failed, and the person who stood in her way of seeking justice was none other than Nathan.Because Victoria cried to Nathan, "Nathan, you understand my father the most. He is a loving father, and he has always loved his daughter very much. He has been good to me, and he will only be better to Isabella. He owes Isabella so many years, and he has always wanted to make it up to her.""My father's original intention was for the good of Isabella. He just thought that Isabella had just undergone a kidney donation surgery and her body was not suitable for pregnancy. However, he was afraid that openly dissuading her would provoke her resentment, so he secretly contacted the doctor and tried to make her have an abortion using the gentlest method. Why does Isabella insist on holding onto my father's mistake? He just loves her to
Nathan hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded.When Nathan arrived at Victoria's place and informed her that the child had to go back to their biological mother, Victoria unexpectedly burst into tears.She said to Nathan with a grievance, "Nathan, I have been raising the child for so long, and I have developed feelings for her. Now you suddenly take her away from me, and I really can't bear to part with her.""What should I do? I can't bear to let her go."Nathan's face stiffened, and he was quite puzzled: why do women naturally have such a strong possessiveness towards children?And his biological father, on the other hand, only felt that this child was a dispensable presence.He glanced at the baby in the swaddle, and upon seeing it, Nathan was stunned.The child, who was originally born extremely ugly, has now become beautiful. With big eyes, round and shiny, just like Isabella.A soft feeling also arose in his harden
Isabella looked at Nathan's furious appearance and, surprisingly, remained calm. "Nathan, I am not getting a divorce because I don't want Kassidy to grow up in a fatherless home like me and eventually become a psychologically unstable child."After a pause, Isabella continued, "But if my father's presence has become a burden, I don't mind removing the tumor. Nathan, this is my last chance for you. If you continue to blindly protect Victoria's interests like this, then let's get divorced."Nathan's face darkened for a moment, "Divorce? Do you have the confidence for that?"He took it as a joke and left angrily.This was the first time Victoria lost to Isabella.Nathan went against Victoria's wishes and did not fight for Kassidy's visitation rights for Victoria.Victoria felt a sense of dissatisfaction, so she carefully planned and brewed a very malicious idea.That day, she drank mango juice in advance that would cause her severe aller
The abbot of the temple pitied Isabella and performed a simple ritual for Kassidy without charge. Then he instructed Isabella, "Make sure to bury her at the place where the sun rises on the eastern hill at midnight tonight. It will help her soul reunite and be reborn."Isabella, for the sake of her child, mustered up the courage to call Nathan again. She wanted Nathan, as the father, to help their daughter one last time: that is, to send their daughter to Dongshan.But Nathan's phone could not be reached no matter how many times he tried.When Isabella came down from the temple, it started to snow heavily out of nowhere. A thin layer of ice and snow had already begun to accumulate on the ground.Heartbroken Isabella, carrying her daughter, trudged through the icy and snowy terrain. She was already frail, and recently, due to the excessive worries about her daughter, every step she took was exceptionally difficult.Finally, she collapsed by the road
Nathan did not come home for two consecutive days, and he also did not answer Victoria's phone calls, which was unprecedented.Victoria was a little flustered. She ran to Nathan's company to intercept him, and finally, when Nathan finished work, she was able to meet him as she had hoped."Nathan." She stood alone downstairs of the company, tears welling up in her eyes, seven parts sadness and three parts grievance, performing the role of a caring wife for her husband to the fullest."I was very worried about you when you didn't come home," she said.Nathan stared at her fixedly, no longer rushing towards her without hesitation as he used to in the past.He examined that face, to be honest, the complexion was waxen yellow, the features were flat, and even foundation couldn't hide her haggard appearance. In fact, she was not really beautiful.Compared to the brave and resilient Isabella, Victoria was simply a frog on the ground, with skin as f
There was a mountain in the eastern suburbs, with an altitude of nearly four thousand meters.In the scorching summer season, it was hot at the foot of the mountain, but the mountaintop was very cool.Thea carried a backpack on her shoulders and struggled to trek on the mountain path. When she got tired, she stopped and looked down at the foot of the mountain.She saw the mountain road like a dragon, tightly clinging to the steep mountain range. The road was not only steep but also very narrow. It would be very dangerous to drive on this mountain road.For some reason, Thea suddenly had a flashback to a past life, where she was walking with her daughter's lifeless body on the snow-covered road at the foot of the mountain.Back then, her helplessness reached the highest point in two lifetimes. Fortunately, Theo came down from the sky and pulled her up from the ground, exhausted.At that time, she was physically and mentally exhausted, not onl
Nathan, feeling embarrassed, had no choice but to tactfully change the subject. "Where are you going?"Thea was not polite. "If it's convenient for you, could you please take me to the Golden Hour Bar?"Nathan's face drooped slightly.Thea was clearly worried about Theo. Being a man himself, Nathan couldn't possibly be unaware of Theo's tricks, deliberately pretending to be drunk to get close to Thea.Shameful.Although Nathan despised Theo in his heart, he still took action and brought Thea to the bar.The car was not yet stable, and Thea hastily pushed open the car door and rushed into the bar in panic.Nathan looked at Thea, who was in a great hurry, and felt a sense of disappointment for some reason. After all, there was a time when she had cared for him just as much.Inside the bar.Theo had indeed drunk a lot of alcohol, and he was lying on the table. Thea could smell a strong scent of alcohol even before she appro
Samuel howled, "But I didn't want to accept it."It was late.Drake came in holding a roster. He opened the roster, which had photos of the blind date participants - some with makeup, some without, as well as candid shots and work photos. It also contained the archival records of the individuals from birth until now."Please take a look."Kassidy eagerly took the boys' roster, while Samuel held the girls' roster and they both started flipping through them."Wow. They're all so good." Kassidy exclaimed enthusiastically, "So handsome and talented... I like every one of them. Except for this rich young man... What a nickname, 'Foodie'? This photo must have been photoshopped, definitely a chubby person..."She threw the roster to Drake, "Everyone except him."Drake smirked.Samuel pouted and said, "This chest is too small.""This hair color was too yellow." "This leg was a bit thick.""This waist would be perfect if i
Eric returned home and only then did he realize that his mother, Hana, had already been discharged from the hospital. Ingrid's attitude towards him had become much colder. In fact, she even showed a hint of disgust towards him."Eric, where have you been hiding these days when mom had a car accident and was hospitalized?"Eric, with the postoperative sequelae, was very weak and feeble, saying, "I had a little accident..."Hana finally noticed something unusual about her son, “What's wrong with you?"Eric lifted up the hem of his shirt, revealing the surgical scar on his lower back. "I had my kidney taken away by someone."Hana's pupils dilated, filled with fear. "How could this happen?"Eric closed his eyes in pain and said, "This matter is hard to put into words."Ingrid, who was skilled in calculations, immediately realized that the value of Eric's utilization had been discounted."You were not feeling well now, so will you b
Eric said, "Kassidy, please stop talking. I believe this wasn't done by you. Your character is just like your mother's, both of you are honest and kind people, who would never stoop to such despicable means."He lowered his head in shame and said, "I am getting what I deserved."Kassidy stared at Eric expressionlessly. It was strange, as once she had faced Nathan's myriad of turbulent and grand emotions, but now she was calm like dead ashes.In the end, she simply said, "I didn't mean to not save you. I truly didn't realize how difficult your situation was."With boundless hatred towards that man, Emma pleaded with Kassidy, "So now, could you please help us seek justice?" Despite the pleading tone, her voice was firm, tinged with a hint of reluctant inexperience.Kassidy stared at her coldly and said, "Why should I help you?"Emma was stunned, and then her little face turned bright red.Yeah, why did Kassidy save her?She shoul
Emma trembled as she asked, "Which place do you want?"The man's gaze fell on Eric's waist, “Kidney."Eric couldn't help but feel a chill run through his entire body, as if every nerve was connected to his heart. A sense of unbearable despair washed over him from his heart."I disagreed," Eric roared.The man looked at him with an increasingly cold gaze, “My son was sick. He was the same age as you all, but he developed kidney failure at such a young age. The doctor said he must have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise he won't survive this year. I won't let him die, so I must find a suitable kidney source for him... As long as he can live, I don't care about breaking the law..."Eric shouted impatiently, "You idiot, not everyone's kidney is suitable for him. If we give him our kidney, it could cause rejection, and your son would die even faster."Snap-The man slapped Eric in the face and menacingly said, "How dare you curse my so
The man's face darkened, and his eyes, filled with a predatory gaze, stared at Eric. "You wouldn't be deceiving me, would you? Eric, do you realize the consequences of deceiving me?"Eric was speechless, he was dumbfounded by the man's lack of intelligence. "My phone is in your hands, I didn't have time to tamper with it. Kassidy's phone number has always been stored in my phone. If you can't reach her, it's probably because her phone is currently with her."The man thought for a moment and felt that what he said made some sense. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll give you another fifteen minutes. If Kassidy doesn't call to confirm that you have some relationship with her, then I won't be polite to you."Time passed by minute by minute.Eric's heart grew more and more anxious. He didn't know if Kassidy would call back in such a short amount of time.As the moment of the clock was about to end, Eric's phone rang. Eric let out a sigh of
Eric looked at the screen, but Samuel's words kept echoing in his ears. Suddenly, he fell to his knees, covering his face with both hands, tears and rainwater streaming through his fingers.Yes, Isabella has always been well. She was strong and optimistic, born in adversity but with a heart to overcome obstacles. She was loyal to love and loyal to her family, so she could receive selfless love from her family.Isabella, who was so good, was looked down upon by him in his past life. Now, as he finds himself trapped in a quagmire and realizes the hardships Isabella went through, he discovers that he cannot be as good as her at all. Eric is overwhelmed with shame.He deeply realized that he was not worthy of Isabella.However, Eric soon emerged from the melancholy of lost love. He had to save Emma, and the longer he delayed, the greater the danger she faced.He got up and ran hard.This time, he couldn't help but run for a long ti
Thea suddenly touched her face and said, "Your mother was young and still had her charm. If she had married a middle-aged man who was a good match for her, they could have built a marriage together. Maybe they could have lived a comfortable and peaceful life. But your mother insisted on flattering William and indulging in unrealistic dreams. In the end, she lost both her dignity and her wealth.""Ingrid, remember my words well: Be down-to-earth and work hard in life. Don't try to take shortcuts, as those who seek to gain without effort will not have a good outcome.""By the way, also tell Eric these words."Thea finished speaking and left gracefully.Little did she know, Eric, hiding in the stairwell, understood her words perfectly. He was now caught in a dilemma: a grounded life?Can he still reach the height of his past life?After Hana was discharged from the hospital, faced with a large amount of compensation money, she had no choice but
Hana was so angry that she trembled all over, "I never expected you rich people to be so unreasonable and heartless."Olivia laughed in anger, "I never expected you poor people to stoop so low in your desperate attempts to climb the social ladder. Even resorting to using your own uterus. Oh, not all poor people are as spineless as you, my sister Thea has a lot of pride."Hana took a desperate measure, treating the dead horse as if it were alive, and said, "If William is not willing to take responsibility, then I will accuse him of negligence.""Oh, so you finally reveal your true colors, huh? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. Do you have any evidence? If you do, bring it out immediately, and we will register this child's household registration right away. If you don't have any evidence, it's not you suing him, but us suing you for damaging William's reputation."Hana couldn't argue with Olivia and left in a huff.Olivia continued to playfully
Hana panicked, "William, I was just momentarily anxious and spoke without thinking. Please don't be angry, I won't say these nonsense words again in the future."William was exhausted and said, "Let it go."The other side.Hana heard the busy tone coming from her phone, and her face froze. She looked helplessly at the pair of children next to her and said with great disappointment, "He wants me to hit this child? Just because I said bad things about her daughter being selfish and self-centered?"Eric frowned, deeply experiencing the despair of having a teammate who was a liability. He weakly retorted, "How many times have I told you that William is obsessed with spoiling girls? If you're with her, the stepmother will have to treat you better than your own mother. But you foolishly want to compete for favor with Jade."Hana held her son's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Son, can you help me? How can I change his mind? I don't want to terminate
