Maxwell’s hand that was teasing the parrot paused promptly, but no one noticed his movement."Oh? What did he say? Did he agree to let you treat him to dinner?" Sonnet asked curiously.Jaybie shook his head and responded, "He said he was busy with work and didn't have time to eat with me. He just told me to contact him by text message.""Oh… I wonder what he works as…" Sonnet said softly.Jaybie tilted his head and thought about it. "He’s amazing at fighting, so he might be a policeman… like an undercover agent. Maybe that’s why he can't answer my calls whenever and doesn't have time to go out for a meal with me."Maxwell’s hand that was feeding the parrot bird food twitched, and the bird's food fell to the ground."Not paying attention! Not paying attention!" the parrot cried.Maxwell raised his hand and slapped the parrot.The parrot flapped its wings and flew to Sonnet for help. "Wifey! Wifey!"Sonnet laughed, stroked the parrot's feathers, and scolded Maxwell, "Are you bul
Sonnet did not want her dad to worry about her foot, so she had not visited for several days. She went as soon as she was able to walk.Unexpectedly, just as she entered the ward, she saw Hayden talking and laughing with Myles.Sonnet was a little surprised, she hurriedly cut some fruit to serve him.As Hayden was saying his goodbyes, he glanced at Sonnet, so she followed him out."I heard your son has leukemia and is waiting for a bone marrow match?" Hayden asked immediately.Sonnet looked at him in surprise.He smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. I overheard your father when I was chatting with him."Sonnet smiled. "Yes, but there’s no suitable match yet.""Let me help you figure out a way."Sonnet was pleasantly surprised and replied, "Thank you so much!"Hayden smiled. "You don't need to thank me. It's not a problem."Anyway, he was not the one who had to spend money. All he had to do was put in some effort."I have a general understanding of your son's situation. His
As Sonnet brought the peach croissants to the ward, she overheard two nurses talking in the corridor. "Is your blood type AB?""Yes.""In that case, let’s go for the blood test together. I'm also type AB.""I heard that there would be something in it for those who go for the test. I wonder what the reward is?""You’d be comfortable claiming the reward? This was initiated by Mr. Gunn. Everyone wants nothing more than to fawn over him, so they wouldn’t want to claim their reward. I reckon that many people are hoping that they’ll be a successful match so that Mr. Gunn will take a second look at them."Sonnet's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward and asked them, "What test are you talking about?""Oh, you can go if you want. The medical staff and family members of patients are welcome to try. Anyone with type AB blood can get a small gift if they go for the blood test.""What… is the blood test for?""Bone marrow matching. It’s to treat a patient’s leukemia," the nurse replie
‘Could it be that Hayden is Mister Sunglasses? How could it be him?’Sonnet heard footsteps coming from the outside, so she hurriedly put the phone back in its original position. She stepped back a little and acted like she did not see the phone.After Hayden walked in, Sonnet smiled at him and said, "Well, if it's okay, I'm going to head off now."Hayden replied with a smile, "Okay, we’ll talk soon!"Sonnet nodded and left the office.She had a lot of questions in her mind as she walked to her father's ward.‘How could Mr. Sunglasses be Hayden? Did he save Jaybie by accident or on purpose?‘If it’s intentional, how could he have known about Jaybie's kidnapping? Why is he paying attention to our movements?’After she left, Hayden answered a call, and the other party said, "I left my phone at your office. Bring it to me..."In the evening, Sonnet went to talk to Lindy Jackson, "Are you familiar with Hayden Gunn?"Lindy rolled her eyes and responded, "Of course. He's one of Har
Sonnet immediately dialed the emergency number and then made use of the first aid knowledge she had learned before to give her cardiac compression and artificial respiration.Time passed by, and Old Lady Lawson still did not wake up.Sonnet was anxious and exhausted, but she followed through with the proper methods for fear that Old Lady Lawson would never wake up if there was a slight mistake on her end.The sound of an ambulance came from far to near. It stopped outside the door, and two medical personnel rushed over with first aid kits.Sonnet immediately stepped aside and let the medical personnel come to Old Lady Lawson’s rescue.After they checked her vitals, they smiled at Sonnet and said, "Her heartbeat has recovered. You did a good job. You saved her life!"Only then did Sonnet heave a sigh of relief. After she took a deep breath, she suddenly felt weak all over her body. Her legs and arms were even shaking! It was because she was tired from doing cardiopulmonary resusci
Sonnet went back to discuss with Old Lady Lawson, asking her to adjust her attitude appropriately as she would need her son and daughter-in-law to take care of her in the future. She could use that house to keep them in check so that they would not abandon her so easily. Old Lady Lawson obviously took her words to heart and held her hand, saying, “Thank you for this, girl.”Sonnet smiled and shook her head, saying, “It’s nothing.”“Last time you came, it was to see Tre. Did you know my good-for-nothing grandson?” Old Lady Lawson might look old, but she was still sharp-minded.Sonnet smiled and replied, “Actually, I was looking for his younger brother for something.”“Quad?” Old Lady Lawson exclaimed, widening her eyes in surprise.“Yes, it’s not a big deal. I just wanted to ask for his help.”“Oh, when his parents come, I’ll give you a call and you can come and meet them.”Old Lady Lawson handed her a key and said, “This is the key to my wardrobe. Open it up. There’s a passboo
When Sonnet arrived at the electronic factory, the man from the reception office told her, “Quad Lawson? I know him! He’s a gambler and owes a lot of debts to loan sharks. A while ago, the lenders came to the factory and even broke a machine in the workshop. So, the factory fired him.”Sonnet felt like people kept raining on her parade.It seemed that Quad had been avoiding her calls because he was afraid of the loan sharks harassing him.He had been fired from the factory and was now in hiding. It would be even more difficult to find him now!Why was it so hard to find the biological father of her children?No. Sonnet refused to give up. Even though Quad was fired from the factory, there must be other clues to find him.She composed herself and asked the receptionist, “Do you know anyone who’s close to him?”The receptionist thought for a moment and said, “There’s a guy named Finn Calcraft who used to hang out with him a lot. They were roommates.”“Can you help me find him?” S
As the car passed by Westfield Hospital, Sonnet sighed. She had been to Westfield Hospital several times before but had never noticed the internet cafe here.Sonnet entered the internet cafe and said to the front desk, “Um, I’m looking for someone.”The person at the front desk was playing games and did not even look up as he said, “Just go in and look for them!”“No, I’m not looking for someone who’s in the internet cafe.”The person suddenly looked up at Sonnet with a wary expression.Sonnet smiled at him. “Don’t be nervous, my husband called me and asked me to bring money, but he can’t be reached by phone right now. Can you let me in?”“Who are you looking for?”“Quad Lawson.”The person nodded. "Okay, follow me."He led the way, and Sonnet followed him up the stairs. Upstairs, there was a long corridor, and all the doors on either side were closed.The front desk receptionist knocked on one of the doors and then opened it. Inside the room were several tall, tattooed m
The young ladies below gathered together and discussed animatedly. As they spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed.Young Master Gunnnn didn't care what others said about him at all. He only focused on the bouquet in Sonnet's hand.Not only Sonnet's bonnet but also Lindy's and Zyra's. He wanted them all.Lindy was waiting beside Sonnet. When she saw Hayden's focused expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Why? Hayden hasn't successfully won over Suki yet?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "That's right. It's said that every time Suki agreed to register their marriage the next day, someone would die the next day. Later on, Suki didn't let him talk about registering their marriage.""Young Master Gunn is really infatuated!" Zyra sighed.Lindy rolled her eyes at her. "He's not infatuated at all. Among those men, he's the most flirtatious. Zyra, you don't know what Hayden was like in the past. He went to the nightclub almost every night and changed his girlfriend every week! He boas
Sonnet never expected her father to be the son of a wealthy family in North City!More than twenty years ago, he met her mother, Leah Turner, and they fell in love. Leah was a female university student from a rural area. There was a huge disparity in family status, and the Turner family did not agree to this marriage.Myles’ mother had passed away early, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Therefore, when Myles was angry with his father because of Leah, she added fuel to the fire, causing father and son to fall out.Myles severed his ties with the Turner family and returned to his hometown with Leah, becoming a language teacher in the village.Not only that, but Sonnet also knew that Myles had studied under Mr. Oddie when he was in North City. Back then, his pen name was Mr. Edelweiss. In other words, the Everglow that Sonnet gave Will Brooks was painted by him!Some time ago, Will needed money so he sold the Everglow painting on the market. Coincidentally, a collector from
"What's going on?" Sonnet asked.Zyra held Sonnet's hand. "Actually, we're family."Sonnet was puzzled, but Logan smiled and said, "Zyra is Shay's biological aunt. The test results are out today, proving that she is indeed related to Little Shay!""Ah… What's going on?" Sonnet was very surprised.Zyra held her hand and explained, "Before my mother passed away, she told me something. She said that I had a biological sister. Three days after she was born, she was secretly carried away and sold by my patriarchal grandmother. Later, my mother was pregnant with me and never said anything for so many years. She only told me this before she passed away."She said that she asked around later and said that my biological sister was sold to Harbor City. This was also why I chose to accept the designer position at Eternal Jewelry back then. I always wanted to fulfill my mother's dream before she passed away and find my sister in my lifetime.Back then, when I saw Yasmin Finch's photo, I susp
Hayden immediately became alert. "You're too tired. Rest first. I'll pick you up for supper."Suki didn't refuse. He immediately drove off.There were no cars in the middle of the night, so he arrived in ten minutes. After calling Suki, she came out in less than two minutes. She looked very tired as if she couldn't even walk.Hayden immediately went out to open the door for her. As soon as she got in, she leaned against the back of the seat and sighed."Are you tired?" Hayden asked."That's right. We went to the scene first and then dissected it without stopping. The corpse this time was a little complicated. We didn't even have time to eat."Hayden's heart ached when he heard her words. He quickly handed her the supper. "Hurry up and eat some."Suki didn't take it. "I don't have much of an appetite now. Let's eat later. I'll rest for a while."Hayden started the car. "Take a few bites first. Don't starve yourself.""It’s already ruined." Suki smiled bitterly. "When I first st
"If you have something to say, just say it." Suki looked ahead."Well, when we were eating just now, what did you think when you saw that they were getting married?""I don't think anything of it. Everyone's life is different," Suki said calmly.Hayden stole a glance at her. "Haven't you ever thought—"When he saw Suki turn to look at him, he choked on the second half of his sentence."What are you thinking about? Marriage?" Suki chuckled. "What's so good about marriage? Once you get married, you're trapped. You can't even change to another man."Hayden immediately felt stifled. This woman still wanted to change men…No, how could his woman think of changing men? He had to work harder so she didn't have the time or energy to think of changing men.Or rather, he should trap her. Once she was tied up, she would not be able to escape."Besides, I'm very busy with work and my profession is scary. I don't think anyone can accept me even if I wanted to," Suki continued."That won't
Amidst the laughter, Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Lindy and I have already set a time for our wedding. You have to help!"Logan waved his hand. "Count the two of us in!"Everyone was stunned.Hayden spat at Logan. "What are you doing here?""What’s wrong with joining in the fun?" Logan rolled his eyes at him and threw down his red booklet. "I just registered my marriage!"Everyone was in an uproar and started talking at once.Zyra blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations!"She looked up and saw Sonnet.Sonnet smiled gently. "Congratulations on finding a good man."Zyra stammered, "Madam Brooks, don't you think it's too fast?""To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and CEO Scott are too compatible. It doesn't matter if someone is fated or not. It's fine as long as their hearts are connected," Sonnet replied with a smile.Zyra also smiled.As they chatted and laughed, they came to an agreement. Maxwell and S
Sara nodded mechanically. When the two of them got into the car, she remembered to shout, "CEO Scott, lunch today is already very good. There's no need to treat us anymore!"Logan smiled and said to Zyra, "Your colleague is an honest girl."The car started, but it was not in the direction of Zyra's house."Where are we going?""I'm taking you to see someone.""Who?"Logan smiled but did not answer. "You'll know when you get there."Half an hour later, when she saw the cemetery, Zyra knew who Logan had brought her to meet.She followed Logan silently to Yasmin's tombstone. She actually felt a little guilty, as if she had stolen someone else's position.Logan placed the white rose in his hand in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Yasmin, I'm going to marry a wife. You won't be angry, right?"Zyra looked at Logan in surprise. Marry a wife…She had only slept with him twice, and he was already going to marry her?The surroundings were silent except for the sound of the br
"Isn't your man handsome?" Logan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.Zyra was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. She turned around shyly."He's just like a bandit. What's so handsome about him…" she said contentiously."Bandit?" Logan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zyra's smooth shoulders.He recalled the taste of last night and his heart began to stir again."I was a gentleman last night. You haven't yet seen your man acting like a bandit!"As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced…Zyra regretted saying those words and inciting a new round of "war". She did not expect that fellow's words to be true. It turned out that he could still be a little more "bandit"!As they left, she hugged him and asked, "Who am I?""You're my Little Zyra, Little Zyra."Zyra was completely relieved.That morning, Logan drove her to the office.In the afternoon, Zyra was about to go for lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then, Sara brought a
There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart, sour and bitter."The investigation might be because of my wife, but it’s not about helping you," Logan replied as he looked at her face.At this moment, he was very clear that the face in front of him was not Yasmin's face at all. Other than the fact that she looked similar to Yasmin, the rest of her features did not look alike at all.She looked weak, but she was very strong on the inside. She looked heartless, but her emotions were very fragile. She was like a blade of grass in the wilderness, growing tenaciously, growing the toughness that belonged to grass and the beauty of grass.She and Yasmin were two completely different women!"Then you're helping me…" Zyra asked softly. When she asked this, her heart was beating wildly."Don't I have a favor to ask of you?" Logan smiled. "I wanted you to see my son once a week."Wasn't it because he wanted her to pretend to be his son's mother?Zyra was a little disappointed, but Lo
