Jonathan’s face fell. He stared blankly at the door.Sebastian’s lips thinned into a fine line. His handsome face looked indifferent, as if he was frozen in time.The operation went on for two hours, and they stood guard outside the whole time. Tamara was pushed out from within after the surgery was completed.Sebastian finally defrosted from his state. His fingers twitched, and he observed the unconscious Tamara. A worried look appeared on his handsome face.“How is she, doctor?” Jonathan asked nervously.The doctor said, “The patient has a broken leg and two broken ribcages. The rest are some minor scratches. She’s going to be fine.”The majority of people who were hit by cars had their organs crushed beyond repair. A few broken bones were considered miraculous. At the very least, her life was not in danger.Inside the VIP ward.Sebastian rooted himself to Tamara. His eyes never left her. He never responded to Cheryl, no matter what abuse she hurled at him. Tamara was all he
How could that bitch dare humiliate her? She was the highly-esteemed Mrs. Custry!Yet Selena couldn’t even bring herself to step foot outside her house now.When Selena recalled what had happened a few days before, she wanted nothing more than to kill Tamara.What a shame! That bitch didn’t die on impact!Suddenly, a group of men barged into her house. They twisted Selena’s arms behind her back and knocked her out before she could even react.Jerome only arrived after the men had left. He saw the messy living room, but Selena was nowhere in sight.Jerome froze. He immediately called Sebastian. “Mr. Lynch. Someone got Selena before we could.”Sebastian’s gaze sharpened. “Find out who has her.”“Yes, sir!”…Selena was brought to a dark basement.She was splashed with a bucket of cold water. Selena jolted awake.“What… Who’s there? Who dares to kidnap me? Don’t you know who I am? I am Mrs. Custry! I…” Selena yelled at the strange men. But when she saw Elijah who was standing
Selena’s head was forced up. One side of her pale face was marked with the bright red handprint from the slap. Selena still mocked cruelly despite her disheveled state, “Aren’t you curious about how Alex got into your bed back then? If it weren’t for that, you never would have met her. You’re just a lowly bastard son while she’s the highly sought-after beauty of Clacton.”Elijah’s gaze sharpened, and his face grew colder. “Get to the point, Selena.”Selena grinned. “Don’t you want to know why Alex got married to Jacob Simmons despite her love for you? If you want to know the truth, let me go. And don’t hurt me, either. I’ll tell you everything if I feel like it…Ouch!”Before Selena could finish her sentence, she was choked by Elijah. His wrinkled face twisted darkly. “No one ever threatens me and lives to tell the tale. You are no exception to that.”Elijah tightened his grip on Selena to make a point. Selena choked. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, and she looked like a
“Shut up! Shut the fuck up!” Elijah grew red with anger. He kept tightening his grip around Selena’s throat.But Selena must have a death wish. She continued mercilessly, “Alex married Jacob…He’s a much better fit than you. At least he truly did love her. Even if…even if he knew Tamara wasn’t his biological daughter, he still treated her well…”“What did you say?” Elijah widened his eyes in disbelief.Jacob knew Tamara wasn’t his daughter?What exactly happened back then?“Haha…oh my God…this is good. I can’t believe Alex loved you enough to cheat on her husband…” Selena slumped to the floor, laughing maniacally.Elijah was stunned. “How do you know so much about this?”Selena sneered at him, “Because it was a combined effort to get Alex together with Jacob.”Elijah didn’t like the mocking look Selena was giving him. “Who else was part of this?”Selena kept her silence. She grinned at Elijah as if he was a clown.Alex was the most beautiful person back then but was also the e
Tamara told Sebastian about what happened a few days ago.Sebastian gripped Tamara’s hand as the story progressed. “Why didn’t you tell me?”Tamara smiled. “Because I could solve it myself.”Sebastian’s face fell. “But you didn’t do a thorough job.”Tamara blinked. “Don’t give me that look. I don’t like seeing you angry.”Tamara’s voice was soft like cotton candy. It could melt even the coldest of hearts.Sebastian let out a defeated sigh. He brightened up and brought Tamara’s hand to his lips. “You must tell me the next time you encounter danger, okay?”Tamara hummed. “Fine. I’ll let you know next time.”Sebastian gave her a helpless look. He got up and took some cotton balls to moisturize Tamara’s lips.Tamara stared longingly at him. Her feelings for him were evident in those clear eyes of hers.Sebastian’s gaze darkened. “Stop looking at me like that, Tammy.”“Why?” Tamara asked unconsciously.Sebastian leaned down and pecked her on the lips. “Want to take a guess?”Ta
Camilla’s eyebrows knitted tightly together. “I’m already at the hospital, mom.”Josephine paused. She muttered awkwardly, “Oh…you’re at the hospital. But why are you there? Shouldn’t you be hard at work at the research institute?”Josephine managed to change the subject.Camilla’s eyes narrowed, and she sighed tiredly, “Weren’t you the one who told me not to get on Mr. Moore’s bad side and to apple-polish him? I’m here to visit his family.”Josephine laughed at that. “You’re doing great. With your good looks, it would be a shame not to put them to use. I’m going to hang up now. Remember, you have to please the Moore family. If you ever get married to one of them, I will be able to boast to my friends!”Camilla leaned against the white walls tiredly as soon as the call ended.She lowered her head and shut her eyes. She felt extremely drained.Suddenly, Camilla felt a mocking gaze on her. Her head snapped up, and she saw Jayden standing not far from her. Camilla wondered how long
Tamara paused when she heard this. She recalled Camilla’s expression and let out a helpless sigh. “That doesn’t matter. At the very least, Jay confirmed his relationship with Camilla.”Margot piped up, “I could see how much Camilla likes him.”“Then that’s enough,” nodded Tamara.Being acknowledged by the person you liked was more than enough to some.…It wasn’t until the cool breeze blew past them when they exited the hospital did Camilla snap out of her thoughts.She pulled away from Jayden and lowered her gaze. “Mr. Moore, the hospital room…you…”“You misunderstood,” Jayden said cruelly. “I just don’t like embarrassing other people. Let me get this straight. Others might think you’re my girlfriend, but you’re lower than dirt to me.”With that, Jayden headed for his car.Camilla bit her lips until they drew blood. Camilla’s heart was pounding hard, and she worried she’d have a heart attack soon.She mumbled, “I still have other business to attend to. Go on without me.”Ca
Something flashed across Tamara’s eyes when she heard this. She added, “That is indeed a weird island.”James shrugged, “So there’s that.”The air tensed around them. Although the sun was still out, it suddenly didn’t feel as warm and inviting as before.James piped up, “Have you heard of what happened to Jessica?”Tamara turned to him at this.James smiled, “I was still overseas when it happened. I never thought such misfortune would befall her. Since I cut ties with the Morrison family, my engagement with Jessica also broke off. We haven’t contacted each other since then.”Tamara widened her eyes in surprise. “Your engagement to her was called off?”“Yup,” nodded James. “I feel bad. I should have kept in touch with her. If I did, she wouldn’t have been caught up in that tragedy.”A conflicted look flashed across Tamara’s eyes. James’s guilt felt sincere, and it didn’t seem like he was lying. But Tamara still had a weird feeling in her heart. She also couldn’t place a finger o
