It was a short distance from the preparatory room to the operating room. Maverly said a lot of things before heading straight into the operating room. She was the first non-healthcare provider to enter the operating room. Xanthus paused and stared at her. At this time, he had already put on his mask. "You may leave now." After that, he entered the operating room. Maverly looked at him from behind, then ran over to him. She stopped him and said, "Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner after the operation." Her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked into Xanthus's eyes. Xanthus glanced at her and turned toward the operating room. The operation was finally over after four hours. Maverly had begun to grow anxious as she paced back and forth outside for a long time, waiting for Xanthus to come out. She was worried that the operation would fail. When Xanthus came out of the operating room, she immediately ran over and asked him, "Well, how is it?
When Maverly arrived at her home, she helped Xanthus out of the car with huge effort. She lost her balance the moment she stepped into the house, bringing Xanthus down with her and his body collapsed onto hers. She tried to crawl out from beneath his body but failed and accidentally tore his shirt open during the process, revealing his healthy tan skin that gleamed under the lights. She swallowed at the sight of his bare skin. In fact, Maverly had had a crush on Xanthus for a long time. Otherwise, she would not skip her classes just to go to the hospital. She hesitated for a while, then kissed him on his lips. Initially, he didn't respond to her no matter how she shook him, but he immediately woke up after the kiss. "Ugh..." He turned over and lay on his back with a soft snort. Maverly was stunned. Then, she got up and stared at him. The more she looked at him, the more she fell for him. She thought that he would not know it if she kissed him.
The boy looked about twenty years old, about the same age as Maverly. Xanthus could see his face clearly. He was good-looking, well-dressed and looked like a gentleman. He handed a notebook to Maverly when he came out to see her. Maverly smiled brightly at him as they exchanged conversations. Then, they walked together to a less crowded place to talk. Xanthus watched the two of them for a while and was about to drive away but noticed the two became increasingly intimate with each other. When the boy lowered his head and whispered in Maverly's ear, Xanthus frowned and took out his mobile phone to call Maverly. Maverly was confused. She had felt dejected when she saw Xanthus earlier, and she wondered why he called her at this time. "Hello?" The boy waited beside Maverly, not intending to leave. Xanthus asked, "Is anyone taking care of Jacian in the ward?" Maverly replied, "I don't know. I'm out. Are you in the hospital now? Could you help me check on h
When Xanthus got up in the morning, Maverly had already arrived. She came alone and had brought breakfast for them. Xanthus's mood inexplicably became much better when he noticed Heston didn't come. Shooting a glance at Maverly, he went to wash up. By the time he was finished, Maverly and Jacian were already eating. He had an operation in the morning, so he left hastily after taking a few bites. In the afternoon, Xanthus came down from his office and went to check on Jacian, only to find Heston in the ward. Heston had brought toys for Jacian. Xanthus stopped outside the ward and stared inside for a while before returning to his office. Later, when he got off work in the evening, Xanthus went straight back to his home. When he arrived at the door, he received a call from Jeremy. Jeremy asked him out for a drink. Xanthus had been in a bad mood before because of Cynthia's matter, so he invited Jeremy to go out for a drink. However, he was no longer in t
On the first night of Maverly's stay in the manor, the three of them had a hard time falling asleep. Xanthus and Maverly couldn't sleep, while Raeleigh stayed up wondering all night. 'What's wrong with Xanthus?' Raeleigh got up early in the morning and ordered the servants to prepare a scrumptious breakfast. On the other hand, Maverly woke up at eight o'clock. Glancing at the time, Maverly felt a little embarrassed. She came down from upstairs and explained, "I find it hard to fall asleep in unfamiliar places." "It's okay. I just got up too," Raeleigh said as she served breakfast. Just then, Jepherson came downstairs and saw Maverly but said nothing. "This is Mr. Richards. He usually doesn't talk. So please don't mind him," Raeleigh told Maverly the truth. Maverly was still too young to understand it after all. She stared at them with a strange expression on her face. "Do you all usually wake up this late?" Raeleigh smiled, "Can't w
"Do I know you?" Raeleigh asked. However, the man withdrew his smile and said, "No. But when I see you walking alone in the dark, especially in such weather, I thought it would be bad if you encountered the bad guys. You seem like a beautiful and spiritual woman." Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, "Thank you." The man flashed her a faint smile, then looked in front of him. "Let's go." When Raeleigh told the driver her address, the man frowned slightly and asked her, "Are you from the Osteen family?" "Yes." The man was baffled. "That's weird. The Osteen family doesn't have any daughters, right? Moreover, Xanthus is the only son in the family. Are you their biological family?" "I'm his fiancee, but it's a long story. We have no feelings for each other, but his parents like me, so they adopted me as their daughter, and I live there now." "I see. But as far as I know, Xanthus is a good person. However, his job is not suitable for the Osteen f
After Jepherson left, Raeleigh went back to work in the office as there was already a mountain of documents piled up on her table, waiting for her to complete. For a moment, she regretted starting Bloom Aksea Group. If she had known that Jepherson would eventually buy her company, she wouldn't set up one in the first place. In the end, she had fallen into her own trap. After last night, Raeleigh learned the lesson and no longer dared to ask Jared to drive her. Instead, she took her own car to the office. Mr. Zoman was equally worried, so he drove to Raeleigh's house early in the morning and waited for her. On the other hand, Jared was nonchalant. He did not care whether Raeleigh wanted to sit in his car or not. On the way to the office, Zoman said to Raeleigh, "I always had the feeling that this Jared is not a trustworthy person. Why don't we arrange someone else to protect you, Miss?" "No, it's not necessary. If someone really wanted to
Raeleigh had a lot of matters to tend to that afternoon. When she returned to her office, she handed the steak to Ariana, then told her to put it in the fridge and wanted Ariana to remind her to take it back when she returned home in the evening. Ariana asked incredulously, "Miss Anson, do you really like the steak there so much?" "Not really, but I don't like wasting food either. It's better to take away the food instead of throwing it out. Although I can't force others to do that, at least I could do my part." Raeleigh explained as she removed her coat and hung it on the hanger. Then, she walked past her desk and sat down in front of the computer, staring at it for a while. After that, she called Xanthus. Xanthus picked up the phone almost instantly. Raeleigh was not surprised. He was probably taking a rest at this time. Thus, she could contact him during this period. "Have you eaten already?" Xanthus was sitting in his office and Releigh chu
