"Grandma wants to talk to you again," Dawson reminded.

"I heard it," Lorraine gently set down the spoon she was using to drink porridge.

I glanced at Agnes and slowly said, "Grandma, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I'm afraid. I can't bear this responsibility. Baron and Annabelle have only one precious daughter. I think it's better to send her to the hospital for rescue."

"That's what was said."

Agnes nodded and did not blame her daughter-in-law for not wanting to get involved.

Mainly, she trusted Lorraine, but the Baron couple did not have the same level of trust.

Just a moment ago, Lorraine reminded the couple if the child had a fever, and both of them spoke in a confrontational manner.

Because the child fainted, the Mercer family's breakfast was also a mess and they didn't eat well.

The Baron couple followed their children to the hospital. In order to show their concern, Frank's family's parents also went along, and Helena went as well. However, Victor, the husband, drove

    Jaden didn't intentionally make things difficult, he was just doing his job.Because the master just said that this woman was going to come as a transfer student and wanted to pursue an education.It cannot be too simple and vague. Those who graduate from Amber Medical University are highly likely to become doctors in the future.This must be approached with caution, so even in acquaintances, it should be stricter.He even observed carefully the reaction and micro expressions of Lorraine after he said these words.She thought Lorraine would be angry, or would complain, or even be unhappy.But she didn't, she just nodded quietly.And so, under the watchful gaze of Derick and Jaden, it happened.Lorraine finished reading over sixty types of medicinal herbs in the book.Some of these are already uncommon in the market and not commonly used in hospitals, but she rarely knows them.Derick was very satisfied and nodded in approval.Jaden was not surprised at all. He always felt that this gi

    After hesitating for a moment, Lorraine decided to answer truthfully.Lorraine: Was eating.Dawson: Where did we eat?Lorraine: Near Amber Medical University.Dawson: Who did you have dinner with?Lorraine: A friend.Dawson: How come I didn't know you had friends in Amber City?Lorraine: You didn't know many things, is it strange?Okay, okay, okay, Dawson got roasted again.But unexpectedly, he was not angry.Because at that moment, he was sitting in a car on the opposite side of the road from this restaurant.The black Maybach parked by the roadside, as he was supposed to go to the branch office for a meeting.I happened to pass by unintentionally and to my surprise, I saw Lorraine, along with another man.The floor-to-ceiling windows of the small restaurant were very eye-catching, especially since there weren't many customers.So at a glance, Dawson could see Lorraine sitting there, and he stopped to try and probe.He had even already concluded that Lorraine would lie.Because he ha

    "I went to the medical school today to visit my master, and I might have caught the scent of medicine there.""It turns out to be the scent of medicine. I was wondering why I couldn't smell this perfume." Tiana suddenly realized.At this moment, Belen continued, "My best friend, Kaley's daughter recently returned from abroad, she has completed her studies and seems to be working as a teacher at Amber International School. We can meet up when she is available.""I have seen that child before, very beautiful and gentle.""Belen, I have been quite busy lately. There are a lot of things to do with the new product launch at the company. Let's talk about it later."Jaden didn't like blind dates. If you were to believe it, with his status, it's likely that many girls in Amber City would have fought to go on a date with him.But I couldn't directly reject Belen's face, as she had good intentions. So, I politely declined, using work as an excuse.Belen was a person who was very good at reading

    Ryan was almost jaw-dropped, last time he had teased this guy about why he didn't bring his newlywed wife along.They brought people directly, but Keely was also there.Ryan has recently been doting on his celebrity girlfriend Natasha, so he agreed to help Natasha set up a plan.Natasha and Keely were good friends in the industry, and recently Natasha just received a set of custom-made evening gowns as a gift from Keely.Those who wanted to take advantage of the situation were unaware that Dawson had come with his wife.Is there anything more embarrassing than this?The other couple, on the other hand, didn't have much presence. They were a little cousin that Ryan had called.The family background was also good, purely for the sake of playing cards and passing the time."It turned out to be Lorraine, long time no see."After Ryan reacted, he quickly got up to say hello."My buddy, Ryan."Lorraine calmly glanced at the man, and her peach blossom eyes were particularly noticeable.Ryan

    Lorraine sighed slightly and said, "How could I not know these few sentences?""Mrs. Mercer, we didn't ask you to recite the Bible.""Just asking, besides me, do you have any other favorite philosophers?" Natasha challenged the sisters."I quite liked it.""They said a lot of things that were right.""I think, therefore I am."Actually, in the end, Lorraine was already quite obvious in mocking Keely and Natasha.They did not understand the importance of respecting others, but unfortunately, it seems that they did not notice anything different.Even Lorraine, a straightforward girl, understood and gave a sympathetic look to these two so-called celebrity sisters."Wow, Mrs. Mercer looks quite impressive. Which university did she graduate from?"Sure enough, if unable to win, resort to underhanded tactics.Lorraine was able to respond fluently, which made Keely restless. She directly targeted Lorraine's weak point.Lorraine just wanted to answer truthfully, telling them that she had actu

    "Outsider?" Helena stared with her eyes wide open, clearly unwilling to accept it."It is said that a daughter who is married is like water that has been poured out, Helena, you have been a little too controlling.""I was just trying to help you discipline your wife." Helena said with a stern expression, completely unreasonable.Dawson sneered, "My own wife can take care of herself, there's no need for you to interfere.""You were so busy every day, how could you have time to do everything perfectly?""Even if I didn't have time, I still have my parents, Helena. Sometimes it's not that everyone dislikes you, it's just that you can be quite annoying."After saying that, Dawson got up and left without giving any face.Helena was furious when she found out that everything had gone wrong early in the morning.Baron's family did not come because they were taking care of Jenna in the hospital.Victor went to tutor Joseph, but it was Helena's turn today.Even if it was just her alone, she wo

    "No.""What does your dad do?" the talkative boy kept asking."I... had no parents." Lorraine, not good at lying, thought for a moment and then told the truth.With that being said, all the classmates were instantly shocked.But no one dared to continue to be curious about her background.Thinking that this was an orphan, perhaps coming in through a special channel relying on state welfare.There was nothing unfair in their hearts.Even a few soft-hearted classmates, looking at Lorraine with teary eyes.Actually, it wasn't necessary.Lorraine never felt sorry for herself for not having parents.Mainly, she also didn't want to go look for her parents, whether she was kidnapped or lost.Or being abandoned by her biological parents, she had already resigned herself to her fate over the years.She really liked the three thatched cottages at Phoenix Ridge and also loved her late grandfather.Now, she really liked the Mercer family who loved her grandmother.Lorraine breathed a sigh of reli

    Coincidentally, the other person was also sizing her up.As their eyes met, they always felt a certain frequency of energy flowing in the dark, but it was just a feeling from within their hearts.In the afternoon, Lorraine sat in the back row studying.I heard the male classmate in the front row, who likes gossip, say, "Did you guys hear? Something happened to Leila Scott in our class.""I also heard that he was taken away by the police uncle."What's the reason? No way, she seemed so honest."Yeah, she's already in her third year of college, and it feels like she doesn't have many friends. She always keeps to herself. Is that even legal?""You don't know this, but the more honest someone appears on the surface, the more ruthless they are.""Anyway, I don't know if I could come back.""It seems like I offended Eden.""Which Eden?""Is it his father, the Eden who was a real estate developer?""Did Eden, who had twelve girlfriends in three years of college, haha?"Everyone was chatting

    The incident of the Hart family dinner was directly concealed internally and did not spread, as it was related to Keely.Dawson and Lorraine did not say anything after they came back.Lidya naturally didn't know, but Elizabeth, being Keith's sister, naturally knew."Oh? Such a big thing, such an exciting thing, Auntie doesn't know?" Elizabeth pretended to be surprised."What is this Bacchus, what's the matter?"Elizabeth then softly recounted the incident of Lorraine drinking with someone, of course, she did not mention that the other person was Keely, nor did she mention that Keely intentionally made things difficult for Lorraine.The whole thing sounded as if Lorraine herself didn't know the depth of it, deliberately causing a scene in public to attract attention.Lidya's hands trembled with anger, "Can this be true?""Many people were present at the event, and Auntie, you also have connections, so if you inquire, you will kn

    In the exquisite box, there was a stunning emerald ring.This kind of green, only seen on TV, is a quality that even jewelry stores do not have.The value could no longer be measured, and it was no longer a matter of being able to buy it with money.Lorraine took a deep breath, this thing was too valuable.Cannot accept, absolutely cannot accept.She carefully locked it in the medicine box at the Dorset Clinic, intending to find an opportunity to return it.Even though Heartleaf is priceless, it would not accept such a valuable gift.In fact, this was a relic of Jaden's late mother.Specifically, it was Jaden's grandmother's dowry, which had truly been passed down from generation to generation by the elderly.At this moment, the Ellerker's mansion.Jaden touched the photo in his mother's room, the woman in it smiled sweetly and elegantly.Jaden deeply felt reluctant and silently watched for a long time.

    "Well, we were in the same high school, but I was two grades below him. When he was in his senior year, I was only a freshman, but I would often see him on the basketball court."Upon hearing Elizabeth's words, Lidya suddenly had an idea and took out her phone. She sent a message to Dawson, saying, "I'll send you my location. Come and have dinner with me, and don't refuse."Dawson was suddenly caught off guard when the phone rang directly.Because he had everything planned, he was going to pick up Lorraine in Vermont Heights in the evening.Lidya: Hello?Dawson: Mom? What are we having for dinner? Why is it so sudden?Lidya: What, Lorraine? Why do you constantly bring up that woman? Can't you live without a woman?Dawson: ???Dawson was shocked.Dawson: What's wrong with you? What is this? When did I mention Raine? I said you asked me to have dinner, so sudden.Lidya: Mom called her son to have dinner, what's so s

    Layton's appearance was extremely inappropriate, missing the opportunity for Lorraine to catch up with Jaden and return the gift box.She watched as his car drove away, still holding the box in her hand."Lorraine, would you go out with me?""I would make you the happiest girlfriend in the world," Layton's sudden confession left Lorraine feeling uninterested.Lorraine was too lazy to look at him any longer, so she turned around and walked away.Layton, however, persisted, "Lorraine, wait a moment, don't you think we had a special connection?""What do you mean by fate?" Lorraine turned around."I was interested in you at school.""But soon it was winter vacation.""I thought I would not be able to see it until at least next year.""But little did I expect to see you at the Dorset Clinic, this is the opportunity that God has bestowed upon me.""Was your chance just to pester others?"Layton was slight

    Dawson almost immediately turned his head and shouted, "Andrew... come in."Andrew pushed the door open and saw Lily taking off her clothes, and he was also dumbfounded."Mr. Mercer.""Drag Lily out, quickly, she went crazy.""Okay."Andrew forced himself to pull Lily's arm with great effort and walk out."Dawson, why didn't you look at me?""Don't you know that I liked you?"Lily was almost hysterical, she had played all her cards, and perhaps the biggest failure for a woman is to stand naked in front of a man, who not only remains indifferent but even shows some disgust.Lily felt that at this moment, she had lost all her self-esteem and dignity.She was clearly a youthful and beautiful executive assistant to the CEO.Was it the charming and captivating Ms. Finch?But why didn't Mr. Mercer take a few more glances at her?Andrew not only took Lily out, but also, in order to save face for her,

    Dawson had no idea about what Lily had said to Lidya in private before.Lidya was really concerned about this matter, especially when she heard that the person on the other side was also a well-respected scion. She developed hostility towards Lorraine and became cautious."Don't treat Dawson's wife like that.""My mom hasn't given you a hard time all these years, why are you giving the daughter-in-law a hard time?" Frank advised."Shut up, you were all being deceived by that woman, she was just pretending."Her heart was never really with Dawson, waiting to have a child with him.Lidya couldn't take in a word and, picking up her bag, she left home and didn't return even for a night.The Dorset Clinic.Jaden walked in, holding the gift, and saw Lorraine give a slight smile.He was about to say hello when Lorraine's phone rang."Sorry, I received a phone call."Lorraine walked over to the adjacent lounge, hol

    "Jaden, are you really telling the truth?" Haylie clearly still didn't believe."You could go back and ask the teacher.""Originally, I didn't want to say it so bluntly.""But since you asked today, I will tell you the truth.""Haylie, you were also grown up, not a child anymore.""Including the medication you previously provided to me, which was not developed by you at all, I feel that you should not do this. It is also unfair to your classmates."Even this was exposed, Haylie felt completely ashamed.Crying, he turned his head and ran away.Jaden didn't feel too upset in his heart, marrying Haylie was simply impossible.Jaden had high expectations for love and marriage, and he would rather remain single than settle for less.Even if I remained single forever, I would still refuse to settle for marrying someone I don't like.The figure suddenly flashed in my mind again."Put the things in the trunk

    "Vermont Heights.""This name... sounds a bit strange." Lorraine frowned."Sure, we had it divined by a fortune teller, but this property is not developed by our family. It belongs to the family of my grandfather's good friend, Mr. Qin. It is considered the most expensive property in Amber City, even more expensive than villas.""Why?" Lorraine asked."First, the location was good, situated in a bustling area.""Secondly, the quality is good. The designer we found has won awards abroad and it is said that the design can withstand an earthquake of up to magnitude eight."Third, the interior decoration was all in traditional style, and only pure solid wood furniture was used."The household appliances were also fully equipped, all of which were imported brands, and many of them were even custom-made."Fourth, after being divined by a fortune teller, the people living here would be very lucky.Fifth, it had good privacy, wi

    "Dawson.""Hmm?""I kindly remind you that you haven't fallen asleep yet, so don't start dreaming so soon," Lorraine said seriously.It did amuse Dawson directly.To be honest, why didn't you let me show off just now?"Don't you know the ability of your husband?""We, the Mercer family, do not raise useless people. Even though I, Baron, have grown older, I am still very skilled in close combat."Lorraine nodded, "Indeed, otherwise could she have beaten up Annabelle like that?"Dawson: ..."Why are you bringing up the pot that I don't want to talk about?""It was you who brought it up first.""What I meant was, let me teach those bastards and scumbags, but you've already handled them all, what am I supposed to do?"Dawson always had a sense of melancholy, as if he had a wealth of talent but nowhere to showcase it.Just now, everyone was already eager and ready to go, planning to use those few p
