Two days passed, and Lena was finally able to move freely.
I have been acting as a sleeping pill for Hunter all week, she didn't dare to move at all when lying in bed.
Lena took a comfortable shower in the morning and then said she wanted to leave Palm Bay.
Hunter was sitting on the couch, reading the morning newspaper, and upon hearing the words, he showed no expression.
Lena quickly explained, "That Schwartz Hospital in the suburbs, I had previously mentioned that I was going to persuade the old director to move out, but I got delayed due to the injury in the past few days. I will be working very hard in the coming days. Um, Mr. Reid, I just want to confirm, you don't have any plans to dismiss me, do you?"
Hunter paused, slowly lifting his hand that was holding the newspaper and looked up.
He slept well all week and his complexion looked much better.
"Who said I was going to fire you?"
Lena breathed a sigh of relief, and her
While Dave was resting at home, he still had a great concern for the matters at the company. In addition, as he had been preparing for the project for two years, he wanted to carefully review every contract before it started.He coughed a few times in bed and then told Margaret, "Bring me my computer."Margaret sighed, "Your body is already like this, why are you trying to be strong? Leah is enough for the company. Have you forgotten Leah's abilities? She has been busy all week, and it breaks my heart just watching her."A satisfied expression appeared on Dave's face as he raised his hand to rub his forehead."Leah was good, but this project had been prepared for two years, and it also concerned whether the Dawson family's business could expand overseas. I have put in so much effort for this project in the past two years, and I cannot afford to fail at this crucial moment. Many executives are watching."Margaret sat on the bed next to him, holding
Lena raised an eyebrow, it seemed like another person deceived by Leah.Lauryn finished speaking and slowly sat back down. "Leah has always been a very timid child. When she was in our family, we all doted on her, and Eugene doted on her too. But for some reason, the girls around her never liked her. Because of this, we tried our best to not let her feel uncomfortable and took good care of her."She spoke while crying."Eugene, although a fool, was innocent and lovable, with a good heart. Many times, he was beaten to a pulp for protecting Leah. Six years ago, he never woke up again after protecting Leah. After that, Leah felt extremely guilty and said she wanted to earn money. She worked multiple jobs every day. Somehow, the Dawson family suddenly recognized her and took her back. We were initially happy for her, but my husband was immediately caught up in the turmoil and sentenced to twenty years. I went to the Dawson family, crying and begging for some money,
When Lena got off the car, Leah had already driven away.She entered the elevator that Leah had just sat in, and could still smell the strong scent of perfume inside, clearly indicating that Leah had dressed up carefully today.Did you come to see Hayden?But she glanced at the work group and noticed that Hayden hadn't come to the office for the past few days.The wedding of these two people is only ten days away, but it seems like both of them are not in a hurry, one more than the other.She didn't go to her own workstation, but went straight into Hunter's office to report the situation to him.There was no one in the office, where did Hunter go?She walked quietly to the adjacent lounge and was about to knock on the door when she heard his voice coming from inside."I had my own plan for this matter, so you all should not act rashly. She doesn't dislike me as much as before now, so don't spoil things by being too clever."
He turned around and left the office directly, always catching Hunter's fox tail.Lena was also getting tired of Hayden always spreading rumors, which made her feel awkward in front of Hunter.She turned around to leave, and as she saw Hunter seemingly about to stand up, but without paying attention to her hand, she accidentally swung the coffee cup down, spilling the coffee onto his suit pants.His brow furrowed, he struggled to bend down and deal with it.Lena quickly approached and took the tissue on the table to wipe it on his pants."Mr. Reid, please have a seat, I'll take over."His legs were not very agile, but he didn't like to bother others by the looks of it.Hunter sat down slowly and saw her wiping the stains very seriously.Lena threw the tissue into the trash can and then went to find a mop to clean up the coffee stains on the floor.Just as I was about to put the mop back, I heard him ask.After my
Lena was so anxious that she was about to push people away, but she was suddenly hugged by the other person.She spoke a little clumsily, "Sorry, could you please put me down? I thought only the waitresses were dressed as bunny girls."The man's footsteps came to a halt, and one could feel the immense pressure emanating from him."Do you like this?"This was just Lena's morbid curiosity, because she saw it in a computer advertisement, so she wanted to take a look.She stopped talking, thinking about the spring dream she had had in the private room before. It was possible that she really lacked a man, which was why she had such a shameful dream.She took a deep breath and tried to push the person away.But he held her and didn't know where they had arrived, soon he placed her on a soft bed.Lena suddenly jumped up, she did not have a penchant for one-night stands.The thing that was just passively eaten seems to have take
When she left the villa and got back into the car, her legs were weak. She opened the mirror in the car and saw that her entire neck was indeed covered in red marks.She leaned back on the chair and, at that moment, caught sight of the sunset outside. Her whole being became alert.Just now inside, the environment was so dark and the man's voice was so pleasant, I was practically being led by the nose by the other person.She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, but she didn't finish it in the end, but it didn't make much difference whether she finished it or not.She sighed and felt a mess somewhere, her cheeks turned red.Lena, Lena, what did you used to do in the past?But fortunately, there was still a gain from this trip, at least the man she was looking for was already lying in the back seat.She hesitated for another half an hour before stepping on the gas.And in the spacious room she left, the lights were still not t
The man, upon hearing these words, burst into laughter."Lauryn, oh Lauryn, it's a pity that you and your husband worked hard all your lives, but ended up raising a backstabber. Do you know how your husband got involved? Do you know who was responsible for the victim's bodily fluids? You will never know the extent of Leah's dark methods, and that's why she destroyed your family, yet you still think she's a good child. Hahaha, let me tell you the truth, your son is lying in bed because of Leah's own doing. This fool always liked to follow her around, causing her to be mocked by others. She couldn't take it anymore, so she came up with a permanent solution. Don't ask me how I know, I saw it with my own eyes. I happened to be asking Jacoby for money at that time, but he refused to lend it to me, so I didn't tell you. I can only say that you deserve it! Thinking you're so noble and great, you deserve to be deceived for the rest of your life!"The man was harsh with his wor
Lena got on the car and really didn't know what this "don't make hasty decisions" referred to.Is it about emotions or something else?She had also experienced a lot of shocks today and was very tired.When she was driving back, she passed by the Reid Group and, surprisingly, she saw Hunter.He lowered his head, keeping a distance, unable to see the expression on his face.Lena parked the car and smiled at him, "Mr. Reid, just got off work? Do you want me to give you a ride home?"Hunter looked up at her, turned his head away, and said, "Hmm."Lena always felt a strange discomfort in him.She got off the car and wanted to push him onto the car, but suddenly she remembered that her car didn't have the high-end features like Hunter's, so it couldn't automatically lower the sliding board.Awkward.He slightly lowered his head and then asked, "Did I cause trouble for you?"Lena's conscience was instantly condem
She immediately thought of the drink, but with such a big party, it was not easy to accurately deliver the alcohol to her hands.Her gaze searched the scene and soon spotted a familiar person, Hayden.After seeing her, Hayden also immediately walked over."Lena, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell?"Lena opened her mouth to say something, but a surge of heat suddenly rushed up, as if her skin was being bitten by countless ants.That kind of itch seemed to overflow from the deepest part of the bone, and just scratching it lightly couldn't relieve anything at all.She lowered her eyelashes and shook her head.Many of the people who came tonight were insiders. If she got involved with Hayden in front of everyone, rumors of her being a "licking dog" would immediately spread like wildfire.She instinctively turned around, wanting to find a place where no one was and hide.But Hayden raised his hand and grabbed her wrist."Lena, what's wrong with you? If you're not feeling well, I
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Lena appeared at the entrance of the charity gala on time with the invitation letter.As soon as she got off the car, she saw Lillian, who was dressed exquisitely and beautifully.Lillian didn't expect to see Lena here, as she shouldn't have received an invitation letter.Lena did not greet her and handed the invitation to the staff next to her, then walked in gracefully.She didn't dress so flamboyantly tonight, wearing a black sequined mermaid skirt, paired with a silk blouse that perfectly cinched her slender waist, making her look like a mermaid that had just come ashore.Lillian stood still for a moment, not rushing to find trouble, but instead made a phone call to Hayden."Bro, are you really not coming over? I saw Lena at the party."Hayden's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he smiled, "I came over now, Hayden, don't go looking for trouble with her anymore."It seemed as if all the men in the world were doting on Lena, and this was something Li
Lena, upon seeing Lillian again, lost all appetite and went straight to take a shower before lying in bed to sleep.The next day, she woke up and went to the company. After having a meeting with the senior management, her attention was drawn to a project recently launched by the government.This project could only make a profit of one billion, so those big companies wouldn't come to compete.Her fingertips tapped on the project and she looked at Maxwell beside her, asking, "Who was in charge of the government bidding for this project?""He was recently promoted and tonight he is going to attend a large charity event, it seems that the Gomery family is the host."The Gomery family had a relatively strict family style, as many members of the family were involved in politics.Mr. Xie and Cayden were almost the top leaders back in the day. After both of them stepped down, the younger generation gradually started to emerge.The Gomery family's Jordan was the new heir, managing companies th
Her lips trembled several times, her eyes seemed to devour Lena alive, fiercely and menacingly like an evil spirit.Lena frowned and saw a floor covered with flowers, which made her very angry.Lillian pursed her lips coldly and then said deeply."You wait for me."After saying that, she turned around to pay, and asked someone to send all these plum blossoms to Palm Bay.Lena stood still and instantly felt a complete absence of any emotions.Clara patted her shoulder."Pay more attention during this period, I felt that she was not quite normal."Lena tugged at her lips, far from normal, she felt like she had been chased by a mad dog.Taking a deep breath, I decided not to buy flowers anymore and just planned to go home with the little bit of food I was carrying.Lillian arrived at Palm Bay with a bunch of plum blossoms in her hands and happily handed them to the servant."You all be careful and put these plum blossoms in a good vase."The servant couldn't help but say, "The best bottl
When the car stopped in Westfell Palm Bay, she got off first and then reached out to help him.Hunter's hand curled up fiercely, as if it had been burned by something.Lena was a bit speechless, thinking to herself that when you were confused in the car, you were still holding her hand tightly, but now that you're sober, you're being picky.She took several steps back, signaling the others in Palm Bay to help.Hunter was helped out of the car, still holding the plum blossom in his hand.Lena's heart suddenly softened, well, considering that he did indeed share the same taste as Mr. H."Mr. Reid, then I will go back first. Remember to take your medicine and don't strain your body.""Hmm."He had already been pushed in, without looking back.Lena also didn't want to stay here and see his expression, so she just left.This place was not easy to catch a taxi.In no time, a car was driven out in Palm Bay, saying it was going to take her back.She did not refuse, after all, it was still sno
In Hunter's sight, a thin figure approached from a distance, and because this world was too white, the red she held in her hand appeared particularly eye-catching.When Lena got on the car, she first brushed off the snowflakes from her hair.Then I closed the car door and handed him the folded plum blossom.Hunter didn't answer, but instead looked at the faint traces of snow on the petals.Lena thought he was afraid of the cold, so she raised her hand to shake off the snowflakes. However, she heard him ask, "What if this tree has an owner?"Almost instinctively, she answered, "Take it off for you, and its owner will be you."Hunter was about to reach out, but upon hearing these words, his hand clenched instantly, and the veins on the back of his hand tightened.Lena, who had originally just blurted out the words, quickly asked, "What's wrong?" when she noticed that his expression didn't seem right.He lowered his head and made a "hmm" sound, took the plum blossom, and didn't forget to
The heavy snow was still falling outside the window, not far away was a wasteland, and in the distance, there was a hazy gray sky that seemed endless.Hunter's fingers intertwined with hers, the warmth of their palms resembling a simmering volcano of silence.Lena also didn't want to blame the patient, as he said, let him be.Time passed slowly, and the heat on his body did not decrease but instead increased.She finally couldn't sit still anymore and had to feed him water.He slowly opened his eyes, with a mist in his eyes, as if he had no idea what had happened."Mr. Reid, James also didn't know where to go. Let me drive you back first. Although the place you live doesn't have medicine, at least it will be more comfortable to lie down there."Hunter slowly loosened his own tie, as if it had become unbearably hot.Lena quickly covered his collarbone and re-tied his tie.Hunter was always meticulous in his daily life, even buttoning up the top button of his shirt.She lowered her head
Because he was a patient, Lena couldn't be too heartless, so she didn't do anything and let him hold onto her.She saw Hunter, who was so fragile for the first time, and thought that he was unattainably strong. However, she didn't expect that after falling ill, he would also cuddle up in a woman's arms.His body was very hot, as hot as a fireball.Lena suddenly remembered a few days ago when Mr. H fell ill and lived alone in that dark little building.He was completely different from Hunter. When he got sick, he wanted to hide himself, licking his wounds in solitude.But Hunter doesn't seem to have deliberately hidden these?She didn't know if her feelings were right, and she didn't dare to move at all.Three hours later, the car stopped at the destination.Lena looked at the ruins outside and a wave of anger surged within her."James, are you sure it was here?""Hmm."She was so angry that her chest trembled several times. "This place has turned into a ruin, you can't even tell where
The next day, she woke up very early and felt that the body next to her was burning hot.She quickly propped herself up and reached out to touch his forehead, "Mr. Reid, you had a fever!"The fireplace in the room was burning all night, and the temperature was very comfortable. How could he suddenly have a fever?Hunter slowly opened his eyes and made a sound of "hmm".Lena was extremely worried. Last night, when the two of them went to sleep, they only took off one jacket.She quickly grabbed his coat and put it on him."I'll freshen up quickly first, and then I'll go ask the front desk if they have any medicine."She helped him to wash up, and accidentally touched the skin between his wrist with her fingertips, which was scorching hot.Hunter's entire face was red, with drooping eyelashes, making him look like a sickly beauty.Lena quickly finished washing up herself and pushed him downstairs.She ran to the front desk and asked, "Do you have any medicine? We have someone with a fev
