The next evening, Hayden received an unexpected call from Suki Walker."Let’s meet at the restaurant we were at the last time," Suki went straight to the point without any foreshadowing.Hayden was taken aback and asked cautiously, "Mm... what's the matter?""Let's talk when we meet. I may be a little late, let’s do seven o'clock." Suki hung up the phone after she finished speaking.Hayden held onto his phone, feeling stunned for quite some time.‘Why would Suki, who doesn't regard me as a friend, take the initiative to call me to invite me out? Could it be that she’s interested in me?Nonetheless, he put in effort to dress up before he went to meet Suki.When he got to the restaurant, he saw that Suki had already arrived.He was surprised that she was early this round since she was twenty minutes late the last time.He sat down and placed an order with the waiter. While he waited for his meal to be served, Hayden asked her, "Why did you ask to meet today?"Suki took out a US
Hayden was delighted in that instant. "In that case, you don't think that I…""As a forensic doctor, we rely on evidence, not subjective assumptions. I will not make preconceived conclusions about corpses without any evidence."She said and looked directly at him. "It's the same with corpses and people. You don't have to worry about me making any comments on your character or it affecting your reputation. I'm not interested in gossiping with others."It turned out that she thought he was afraid that she would gossip about him. "That's not what I meant, I just don't want you to think I have a problematic character." Hayden waved his hand.Suki raised her eyebrows and showed a surprised expression. "Does it matter?""What?""Does it matter to you what I think of your character?" Suki asked earnestly as if she truly did not understand what he meant. "There are thousands of people in this world. If you want to care about what everyone thinks about you, you probably can’t live your
On the way to the hospital, Hayden and Suki sat side by side at the rear of the ambulance. They watched as the paramedic put on various monitoring instruments on the old man."Didn't you listen to what the passers-by said?" Hayden said softly.Suki turned to look at him and did not say a word."Passers-by said that this old man's son is a gangster. If he doesn't make it, we may be blackmailed by him. Aren’t you afraid…""What should I be afraid of? There is plenty of evidence to prove that I intended to save him." Suki interrupted Hayden."We don't have any video on hand.""Do we need a video? There are surveillance cameras along the road."Hayden smiled and said, "I almost forgot that you're a policewoman and it's very easy for you to get your hands on surveillance footage. If his son intends to blackmail the police, that’s just his bad luck."Suki glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"Hayden shook his head and replied, "I'm not afraid.""Why? Most people wouldn’t g
When Sonnet walked in while holding onto Maxwell's arm, everyone in the hall stopped talking and turned their heads to look at them.The two of them looked perfect for each other. Everyone would focus their attention on them whenever they showed up, just like what happened at Will Brooks’ birthday party.Matteo was the first to greet them. He excitedly said, "Maxwell! It’s wonderful, you're finally back!" As he said that, he went over and hugged Maxwell.Maxwell patted him on the back to calm him down.After Matteo hugged Maxwell, he looked at Sonnet and said, "Sonnet, I'm so happy for you! I thought that Maxwell...Now he's back so you and Maxwell can continue to live a happy life together!"Sonnet smiled at him and replied, "Thank you for your kind words."Among the Brooks, she had the best impression of Matteo. Although after Maxwell "died", he did not help her much, he was considered innocent compared to those in the Brooks who had evil intentions.Mariette watched Matteo gre
Sonnet was curious about what Will would talk to Maxwell about. She could not help but glance in the direction of the study.Will's wife, Monica Wagner, noticed where she was looking and said to Sonnet with a smile, "Don't worry, it's good news."Sonnet looked away from the study and smiled at Monica.Monica was chubby and had a round face. She looked kind when she smiled and her attitude towards everyone was amiable.Monica took the fruit fork and handed a piece of fruit to Sonnet. "Come, come, eat some fruit. You have been part of the Brooks for two years. This is the first time you’ve visited the Brooks Estate, right?"Sonnet nodded and responded, "When we first got married, I wanted to come to the Brooks Estate to meet all of you but I was afraid that everyone might be busy, and I would get in the way, so I didn't come to visit."In the past, everyone in the Brooks treated Maxwell as a fool. They did not go through with his wedding and did not even want to see them.Since Mo
Sonnet nodded and continued talking, "It's not much money but it's enough to treat the burns on his face. However, it's very difficult to get rid of them completely so he still has one or two scars on his face.""When did he return to Harbor City?""It took several months just for the operation and recovery. A while ago, his memory suddenly returned, and he immediately returned to Harbor City. When he came back, he found Mr. Pine, who immediately held a press conference on his behalf. I didn't see him until that night!""He’s so close to you but he didn't come to find you immediately upon returning?" Rebecca, who had been silent all this time, suddenly gave out a "hmph" and said."Yeah, if it were me, I would definitely go find Sonnet before anything," Matteo echoed."He really didn't look for me as soon as he came back but I think he did a thorough investigation on how I’ve been the past couple of months." Sonnet smiled.Before Maxwell appeared in front of the public, he went to
After they chatted for a while, Sonnet got up to go to the bathroom and bumped into Micah when she came out.She did not intend to greet Micah and wanted to go around him but he blocked her."Micah, what are you doing?" Sonnet asked, frowning.Micah chuckled and said, "Sonnet, hello! It's been a long time since I've seen you, you’ve gotten even more beautiful so I can't help but come to say hello to you!"Sonnet took two steps back and said coldly, "Let me pass.""What if I refuse to? Are you going to hit me?"As he spoke, he leaned over and lowered his voice to say, "Sometimes harsh words or deeds can demonstrate one's love, I’m looking forward to you hitting me!"After he said that, he checked out Sonnet with a lustful gaze. "I heard that you just gave birth. Maxwell is so loyal. He got cheated on and still has a deep love for you!"Go away!" Sonnet angrily stomped on his foot.Micah yelped in pain and stumbled a step back. Sonnet took advantage of the situation and walked a
Once the topic shifted to something that the women were interested in, the atmosphere- instantly became more lively. Even Mariette, who had been downcast, got excited and joined the discussion.Sonnet listened quietly and did not speak. She was not very interested in the brands and items they were talking about.The women were chatting and suddenly looked at Sonnet together. Yvonne excitedly said, "Sonnet, that bracelet on your hand is Sylvania's new product from the summer collection!"Sonnet looked down at her wrist. The bracelet was given to her as a gift by Maxwell yesterday. She did not know many luxury brands and just thought that it looked pretty so she put it on. She did not expect to attract the attention of the women."It seems that Maxwell earned a lot of money since he bought nice things for his wife!" Monica said.Yvonne turned to Matteo and said, "Matteo, will you buy me something?"Mariette pouted and said, "Aunt Yvonne, even if you want to go shopping, you should
