"I know very well that my disease is already beyond treatment. What's more, cancer is not a disease that you can cure with money. In that case, I don't really see a reason to treat it. Whether I'm going to be dead or alive, it'll be up to fate." Lamarre got up from the bed, took two painkillers, and put them in his mouth. He did not swallow it with water. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Right then, he looked like a normal person again. "I have been diagnosed with lung cancer. When my disease attacks, I will have a high fever and have symptoms of a cold. Raeleigh saw that I had a high fever and thought that I was only having a cold." Jepherson looked at Lamarre and said, "You are an employee of the company. I won't let you get sick. You have to be treated immediately. There is no room for negotiation." "It's impossible for you to control me." Lamarre stood by the side for a while. He opened the curtain and looked at the sunset outside the window. He
Hansen was so angry that he fainted. Marissa was so frightened that she followed him all the way to the hospital. She was in distress. She stared at her son, who was slowly waking up but did not have the strength to speak. Looking at her daughter-in-law's pale face, she did not speak. When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Hansen was sent to the emergency room. After two hours of emergency treatment, he was safe. The moment he came out, he was covered with tubes. Marissa felt dizzy and could not stand still. She held Stella's hand and followed her to sit down. She was scared. Stella frowned. Everybody around her was busy, and she was the only calm one in the scene, watching everything around her. Marissa's heart was still fluttering with fear, and she was too old to stand up. Still, she managed to stand and followed Stella to the ward. Jenna was also scared out of her wits. Sitting by the bed, she held Hansen's hand tightly and addressed him over and over a
Raeleigh came out of the elevator and saw Jepherson standing outside the intensive care unit with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in a gray coat. Because of the weather, he was still wearing his coat. Hearing footsteps, Jepherson turned to look at the elevator door. Raeleigh stopped and remained still with Stuart standing behind her. Stuart felt that he was redundant, so he simply left through the elevator. "Come here," Jepherson called her. Raeleigh hesitated for a few seconds and she then walked towards Jepherson. Facing Jepherson's solemn and cold face, she felt a sense of sadness. She did not know what this was for, but she could not help but to approach it. Raeleigh did not know what love was. It was hard for her to tell what it was. But she had never been like this. When she heard that he was in trouble, she abandoned everything and came to see him. And also... When he asked her to come closer, she just hesitated for a moment, and she then
Jenna said a lot of things, but Raeleigh was being pressured by the guilt Jenna was trying to cast on her. So, she had no chance to refute her. Raeleigh observed for a while, while Hansen was lying on the bed beside them. He was resting, but even so, Raeleigh felt that he was uncomfortable listening to their conversation. This was Hansen's ward. No matter what her identity was, there was something wrong with her being here. "Aunt Jenna..." "Raeleigh, what's wrong with you? Are you still unwilling to forgive Jerry? I've heard Jerry talk about it and I know why it's like this." "I'll tell Jerry about this. It's all his fault. Look, Dad's now sick. It's all because Jerry had treated you badly, and because of that... incident! Raeleigh... can you please forgive him?" Raeleigh looked at Jepherson. Jepherson still looked calm, but her eyes were full of mystery. Raeleigh didn't know what to say to Jepherson. Jenna and Jepherson used both hard and soft
Although Marissa was not there, Raeleigh found that the Richards Manor was still in order, which made her feel comfortable. The servants greeted her when they saw her. They all called her Madam Raeleigh, which she was still not accustomed to. Breakfast will be cooked by Jepherson, but he ordered people to prepare the ingredients. Raeleigh was brought to the kitchen by Jepherson and it was her first time in the mansion's kitchen. There were too many people and things inside, and it was very big. At first, Raeleigh went into the kitchen and stood there for a while. Then, people went out one after another and the kitchen looked more spacious. Jepherson put on an apron and walked to the side of the stove. He placed the prepared white rice into the pot, closed the lid, and turned on the fire. He shredded some meat while waiting for the porridge to boil. Raeleigh did not know what to do. She could not help him in any way, so she could only stand to the side and watch Jepher
Raeleigh woke up after dark. She opened her eyes and saw Jepherson sleeping beside her. When she moved, he immediately got up and held her. She looked at him, who had opened his eyes. They stayed silently in each other's arms for a long time. "Are we good now?" Jepherson stood up, kissed Raeleigh's neck, and gently stroked Raeleigh's leg with his palm. Raeleigh had intended to push Jepherson away, but he didn't give Raeleigh any chance. Raeleigh wanted to say something but Jepherson covered Raeleigh's mouth. When Raeleigh tried to struggle, he held onto Raeleigh's leg. Raeleigh had never been so passive. From Raeleigh's expectation, love... was not like this. Quietly, Raeleigh seemed to have gone through torture. She was manipulated by Jepherson and was trapped in the palm of his hand. When Jepherson stopped sweating and kissed her again, she turned to face the other side, holding the quilt in a daze. She liked Jepherson. Although the child was gone, she d
After the confrontation, Raeleigh turned around and intended to go outside. Marissa sneered and said, "If you walk out of the gates of Richards Manor now, then I promise that the people around you will be in trouble. And that's a promise." Raeleigh stopped, turned around, and fixed her eyes on Marissa. It never occurred to Raeleigh that she could get Marissa's recognition. After all, she used to treat Marissa that way. However, Raeleigh did not expect that she would be such a ruthless person. From the looks of it, Jepherson inherited her character. "Well, what do you intend to do? First of all, I don't even want to stay by your grandson's side. So, whoever your grandson marries has nothing to do with me. If we are separated, then you'd better stop him from coming to me. And the way you threaten me like this, it won't be good for your reputation if word gets out." Raeleigh did not wait for Jepherson to say anything, and said to Marissa in a neither servile nor ov
Time passed like flowing water. He had dreamt about a time when he was old. He was like the sun in the middle of the sky, and Jepherson was his shadow. This feeling... Hansen wanted to laugh but he couldn't. Once upon a time, he was also young and passionate. However... His days passed like falling flowers, lingering in his mind for many years, and the autumn wind was desolate. Suddenly, he understood one thing and he was unhappy about the discovery. He had wasted a lot of time when he was young. In the end, he felt that life was too short. He didn't want to waste his time again. "I heard that you quarreled with your grandmother." Hansen was silent for a moment before he asked his son, Jepherson, who lowered her head and remained silent. Hansen rose to his feet. Jepherson stood up to support him. The father and son both understood the reason for the silence. Since he was silent, it meant that he admitted to it. How could Hansen not
