When Heather walked out of the ward, a nurse called out to her and handed her the hospital bill.The medical bills totaled up to more than 2000 dollars. Heather didn't have that much money, so Ivy, who had run out after her, helped her pay for it."Ivy, I'll pay you back when I've earned enough money."Before this, Heather had even borrowed 30 thousand dollars from Ivy to gather funds to bail Whitney out.Ivy said sternly, "Let's not talk about money for now. Hattie, are you really going to offer yourself to Mr. Elkin? Can't you see that Macey is just pretending? It doesn't seem like she'll really off herself! She's just putting on an act to force your hand!"If Macey really wanted to die, she would have various ways of doing so. Macey cut her wrist, and someone just so happened to find her. It was too much of a coincidence.Pursing her lips, Heather said in a soft voice, "Perhaps she's just pretending, but it doesn't matter either way. I can't decline her request, can I?"If sh
Heather had thought of many horrible possibilities. She was worried that Craig had gotten into an accident, or someone had kidnapped him…She didn't expect that Craig would go home to get married!The woman Craig had married was a young lady from a family on par with his. The host was using a lot of flowery words to describe the envy-inducing and luxurious union of the match made in heaven.Heather's mind turned blank. She looked at the man on the screen for a moment. Then, she walked out of the hospital without turning back.They had dated for two years. Craig was usually very frugal, and he would even go to the library to work and study. Heather always thought that he came from a poor family!Her boyfriend had suddenly turned into a son from a rich family, and he had even married someone else. Heather never thought that an outrageous thing like this would ever happen to her!She felt a little ridiculous and pathetic. For two entire years, other than Craig's name, everything she
Caleb had slowed down when he spotted Heather earlier on. Now that Tyrone got him to trail after her, he immediately sped up and changed lanes to head in the direction that Heather was heading.As Tyrone gave no instruction to invite Heather into the car, Caleb simply trailed after her a safe distance away.Since Heather did not turn around, she was oblivious to the fact that there was a car following her. Her mind was a mess, and she felt a vast emptiness within. She simply walked aimlessly ahead without knowing where she should go. "Where's Ms. Sutton headed?" Caleb asked curiously. Tyrone frowned as he watched Heather from inside the car. Something seemed off about her!Just then, the loud blaring of a car horn pierced through the silence of the night, and she noticed a blinding flash of light directed straight at her. Heather stopped and turned around in a daze. The light blinded her and forced her to close her eyes. A short distance away, a truck barrelled right at her. T
How could it be him? It wasn't Craig; there was no Superman. The person who had saved her was Tyrone!Tyrone's gaze darkened. That further intensified the chilling air that emanated from him. He seemed to bear a murderous intent. As Heather kept quiet, he couldn't be sure how severe her injuries were. Hence, he carried her up bridal-style and strode over to the Maybach that was left stalling by the roadside. Over with Caleb, Tate finally scrambled back to his feet and challenged him arrogantly, "How dare you poke your goddamn nose into my business? Do you have a death wish?"If you know what's best for you, give that woman back! If you don't do as you're told, you won't live to see the next sunrise!"Tyrone couldn't even be bothered to glance in his direction; it was as though he didn't hear a word Tate said. Shrouded in a dangerous air, he left all but two words when he walked past Caleb. "Incapacitate him.""Yes, Mr. Elkin."A cruel grin broke out on Caleb's face when his
"Mr Elkin…" Barbara's whiny voice rang out in the silence of dawn. Heather was shocked. She turned around swiftly and saw a beautiful young lady wearing a red dress making her way out of the car. With a smile on her face, Barbara took her time sashaying over to them. Heather was taken aback. It hadn't crossed her mind that there was someone else with Tyrone. She flushed crimson red at the thought of what she'd said just a while ago. She imagined that this was Tyrone's wife, but upon noticing the absence of a ring on her ring finger, Heather quickly came to realize that this was probably just a mistress of his."Mr. Elkin, this must be Ms. Sutton. She seems quite badly injured. We should send her to the hospital."Barbara walked up to Tyrone and looked at Heather with a smile. She tried to appear to be very caring toward Heather, but an inconspicuous hint of warning flashed in her eyes.She didn't manage to catch a glimpse of Heather's face while she had been in the car. Barbar
Heather didn't see that coming and was shocked by the sudden command. She lifted her head in a dazed state only to see Tyrone taking out a piece of tissue. He was about to wipe the blood off her forehead. Heather avoided his gaze and reflexively ducked away. Then, she said softly, "Mr. Elkin, I can do it myself."Barbara still had her eyes on them. It made Heather feel uncomfortable. Heather bit her lip to brace herself for the pain as she shifted her body. She was trying to scoot over to the seat beside Tyrone."Stay still!"Though Tyrone frowned as he reprimanded her, he did not release his hold on her. With a dark expression on his face, he wiped her wound with a piece of tissue. That resulted in a stinging pain. Heather couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as she drew her brows tightly together."It hurts?" Tyrone asked with a quirked brow. "Yeah."She was so badly injured. Of course, it hurt!"You deserve it!"Heather kept silent. "Is there something wrong with
Heather thought long and hard about it, but she eventually came up with nothing. All that she got out of it was a dizzy spell that further intensified the more she thought about it. In the end, she decided to stop thinking about it. "Ms. Sutton, here's your patient gown. You'll feel more comfortable after changing into it." Mia Bennett, the nurse in charge of tending to Heather, gave her a set of loose-fitting clothes. Then, she continued with a smile, "Do you need my help?"Heather noticed that everyone here was trying to please her. She figured that it was most likely due to Tyrone's influence."No, thank you. I can change into it myself." Heather politely turned down Mia's offer to help. She wasn't used to having someone change her clothes for her. "Sure. Just call me if you need me!""Okay."…After Mia left, Heather lay on the bed for some time while waiting for the dizziness to wear off. Then, she got up and took off her soiled T-shirt. She was ready to change into t
Was he tired? Tyrone didn't exactly feel tired just because he had to deal with those people and watch Barbara do everything in her capacity to attempt to seduce and please him. He was used to all that. But somehow, looking at Heather's clear, pristine eyes, he suddenly felt weary. He narrowed his eyes. Then, he suddenly reached out, grabbed Heather's wrist, and pulled her into his embrace. He avoided touching any of her wounds, so as not to cause her any pain. As Tyrone lay down on the bed, his muscular arms tightened around Heather's waist possessively. "I guess I'm a little exhausted. Rest with me."The bed in the VIP ward was a double bed, so it was spacious even with both of them in it. As Heather lay in Tyrone's embrace, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes as she listened to the powerful beating of his heart. Her head was pressed to his chest. Tyrone had returned, and he was hugging her like this. Did this mean that he had agreed to take her up on the deal?"I'll
"You have the hair. You can leave now," Tyrone said as he started to drive both Greg and Hector away.He was feeling sorry for Heather for having to deal with this when she had just woken up and when she was still quite frail."Arrange a room opposite this ward for me," Greg ordered his bodyguard.When Tyrone heard what Greg was saying, he frowned and said coldly, "You're going to stay here?""There are so many reporters outside. Do you think it's suitable for me to leave in less than 20 minutes after I've just visited my girlfriend who has been admitted to the hospital?" Greg remarked casually.However, he kept on poking at Tyrone by referring to Heather as his girlfriend again and again.Tyrone's expression was extremely cold as he said, "You're really treating yourself as her boyfriend now, huh?""It doesn't matter if I want to be her boyfriend or not. Most importantly, the entire nation believes I'm her boyfriend.""Looks like you want me to get you some work.""Ha!" Greg
Tyrone's eyes became a little colder as his arms around Heather's waist tightened.Greg scoffed at Tyrone's act of announcing his ownership and simply shot Heather a look. "Are you feeling any better?"He was here to visit a patient, so there was no need to get into a scuffle with an amiable person.Heather couldn't show Greg a sour expression, so she simply nodded. "Yeah."Greg let out a laugh. "You're so fortunate. Otherwise, you're going to die from some garbage's uselessness."He was inferring something else.Tyrone frowned and his attitude became even colder. "If you don't want me to throw you out, you should learn how to watch your tongue."Greg scoffed. "Which part of what I said was wrong?""Alright, now that Hattie's back, you two should stop fighting," Hector said. His gentle nature and charm easily make others have a good impression of him.He might be Heather's older cousin, so they had to show him some respect.Tyrone's eyes were cold as he bit his lips and said
Tyrone's body stiffened and the atmosphere suddenly turned tense."Tyrone. He shielded me from an attack. I saw him get hurt. I just want to know how bad his injury is."Heather knew Tyrone didn't like her talking about Craig, but she was genuinely worried about Craig. Heather explained to Tyrone using a gentle voice and tugged at his clothing.There was some anxiety in her eyes. She was being very careful, worried that he might get angry.It was true that Tyrone was somewhat upset, but what else could he say when she was already having that kind of attitude?Tyrone stayed quiet for a while and said, "He's no longer in danger."Heather sighed in relief. "I want to see him."Heather knew Tyrone was going to get upset again if he found out she sneaked out to see Craig, so she might as well tell Tyrone now.Tyrone was silent for a few seconds before he coldly said, "You can see him when you're in a better condition."Heather wanted to go immediately. But she knew if she showed to
Seth had already planned to go for a game of gold in the afternoon.Ivy didn't want to stay to become a third wheel, so after telling Heather to take good care of herself, she then left together with Seth.The ward instantly fell silent.Tyrone looked at Heather with dark eyes. "How do you feel? Do you still feel any pain?"Heather simply said, "I want to take a shower."She had sweated a lot after she recovered from her fever, and she wasn't feeling that comfortable from the sticky sweat.Tyrone's eyes darkened and didn't say anything. He pulled the blanket aside and picked her up, taking her to the washroom.The moment they were inside the washroom, Tyrone placed her on the toilet. He first filled the bathtub with hot water before turning around, wanting to remove her clothes."I can take a bath by myself. You should go out," Heather said as she held onto her outfit tightly, blushing.Tyrone raised his eyebrow. "How can you take a bath yourself when you're so weak? What if a
When Heather opened her eyes once again, the first person she saw was Ivy."You're finally awake, Hattie! You're scaring me to death! Are you alright? Are you feeling any discomfort?"Ivy quickly held Heather's hand when she saw the latter opening her eyes. Then, she asked a string of questions.Heather's entire body was feeling numb and her head was spinning. "I feel weak. Is this the hospital? Why are you here?""I found out from Seth that you have been kidnapped and Mr. Elkin has been searching for you all the while," Ivy said nervously. "You've been having a fever for the past two days and you scared me. It is so fortunate that you turned out alright."She paused a little before saying angrily, "Selena must have gone crazy. She was trying to starve you to death. I know she's not a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so malevolent."You can't even call her a human anymore. She's been arrested, and it's over for her this time."Ivy still couldn't forget how she first sa
Craig was too calm. Perhaps it was because he already knew how duplicitous Selena was.The gentle Selena was just an illusion he saw when they first met, and after he was charmed.That was why, despite feeling angry and shocked once finding out Selena's pregnancy was a lie, he didn't find it completely unbelievable.There was nervousness when Selena was looking at Craig, but it slowly turned into disappointment. Her lips curled into a bitter smile as she said, "You must be so happy when you heard I've faked my pregnancy. You think that you've finally gotten rid of this burden, haven't you?"Craig… Do you know how much I wanted to have a child with you? But you don't look forward to having a child with me at all!"Then let me tell you one more thing. Nothing happened between us that night at the hotel. I've always been lying to you."Aren't you even happier when you hear this news? She spends every waking moment with Tyrone, but you're still keeping your virginity for her… Do yo
Light reflected from the sharp blade."Hattie!" Tyrone yelled loudly.Selena was already right in front of Heather in the blink of an eye, wearing a twisted expression on her face as she held the dagger in her hand.Suddenly, Craig appeared right in front of Heather. He protected Heather, and the sharp blade sliced open a deep wound on his face.Craig grunted, and his towering figure shuddered.Heather looked at the figure standing right in front of her as she could only weakly shout out in shock, "Craig!"Why was he there?Craig was showing Heather his back as he raised his hand to cover his face, blood coming out from between his fingers and dripping on the ground as it flowed from the back of his hand."Don't worry, I'm fine."Craig glared at Selena coldly as he responded to Heather.Selena was completely stunned as she couldn't move her eyes away from Craig.Tyrone kicked Selena's bodyguard in the chest, and he fell to the ground, unconscious. It was at this time when Ca
"But what did you do?"Selena's eyes were suddenly filled with savagery, as if she wanted to turn Heather into shreds. "We were fine when we went on our honeymoon, but everything changed the moment we met you!"Why wouldn't you leave? Why must you string him along? He was going to fall in love with me soon!"Heather, you ruined everything for me! It's you… It's all because of you!"Selena screamed in hysteria.She still believed that the root of all her issues was because Heather refused to leave.Heather never expected Craig and Selena to have such a deep history. "I've never wanted to steal Craig from you. You're the one that's being too suspicious."Selena kept staring at Heather. "It doesn't matter, because you're going to die today, anyway. Even if Craig won't ever love me, he can forget about being together with you!"Even if she couldn't get Craig, she wouldn't allow them to be together.All Selena cared about was revenge.Selena pulled out a dagger from her purse. The
Caleb moved very quickly. He had already found out that Selena had been keeping in touch with a number every day.The owner of that number was a bodyguard who worked for the Huntington. According to the GPS signal from the phone with this number, the phone had been staying in Suthurn Hills on the northern side of Royalton.At the same time, Caleb's phone started to ring. He picked it up and listened to his subordinate's reports. He frowned and said, "Sir, Selena had suddenly left the hospital. Her car is leaving the city.""If she really is leaving the city, is it possible that she's heading to Suthurn Hills? Maybe her bodyguard is keeping an eye on Heather?" Hector made an educated guess.In reality, Hector's guesses were all spot on."The mountains stretch across a wide area. We need to find a way to pinpoint the phone's exact location and then send out our men to search the area," Greg said.Tyrone said nothing as he pursed his lips. Suddenly, he walked in the direction of the
