The Quinns came to realize what was happening after hearing Lana's words. Marion was enraged as she thought about what Joyce was trying to do to her child. "So, that's your true intention? No wonder your daughter wants to bid my child farewell when he is still with us!"Joyce, you know better than anyone else how well I've treated you and Rosa all these years. Yet, this is how you repay my kindness? I won't forgive you if something bad happens to my child this time!" Priscilla came from a well-known, prestigious family. She thought that incidents like this would not happen in the Quinn family's household under her watch. She didn't expect Joyce, who seemed to treat everyone kindly, would harbor such ill intentions. "Joyce, if something bad happens to my great-grandson today, you and that cold-blooded daughter of yours can pack your things and head back to your hometown right away!" The only thing that mattered to Priscilla at the moment was the child Marion was carrying. It
After three days of intense treatment by Lana, Marion's baby finally stabilized.It was deemed beyond saving by the doctors. Still, Lana managed to snatch the child back from the clutches of death. She impressed everyone with her miraculous intervention.Marion's ultrasound revealed that the baby was lively and healthy. With that, the entire hospital buzzed with excitement.Doctors hurried to find Lana, the miracle worker. They wanted to capture the moment with her. However, Lana was nowhere to be found in Marion's room.After finishing Marion's treatment, Lana provided Devon with specific instructions. She also advised Marion to rest more during her pregnancy.Then, she left after giving Marion some prenatal supplements.Lana was now a prominent figure in various circles. She found herself stretched thin due to her numerous responsibilities. Devoting continuous time to one person was a luxury she couldn't afford.Her primary focus was on the development of the 6G smartphone p
The staff assumed Lana was joking. They continued to smile politely. "Miss, you must be kidding. You two are perfect in both appearance and charm. So, how could a pair like you not be a perfect match? Who else should we choose?""But we're not ..." Lana started, intending to clarify their relationship. However, Liam abruptly interrupted, "What's the prize?"Lana fell silent.Was Liam seriously interested in such a trivial reward?It seemed the wealthier people became, the more miserly they turned.Upon hearing Liam's question, the staff ushered them to the counter. "We've prepared something special for you both. Please take a look."On the counter were two small black velvet jewelry boxes, each containing a pair of rings. They were simple 925 silver rings, elegant in their understated design. It was the kind found in any jewelry store."These rings serve as a testament to everlasting love. It paved the way for your journey to the altar," the staff explained. The gesture refl
Xander's face turned red, a wave of overwhelming sensations leaving his throat constricted.Heat surged from his face to his neck, his eyes fixed on Lana's hand in his. His heart pounded so fiercely that he feared he might collapse on the spot.Sensing Xander's nervousness, Lana promptly released his hand."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," she apologized sincerely.Xander lowered the car window, welcoming the cool breeze to dispel the heat inside the car."Honestly, I wouldn't mind these sudden moments more often." He smiled, though a flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes. It hinted at his regret over Lana's swift withdrawal.Lana's cheeks flushed with a rosy hue. She made a conscious effort to suppress the playful thoughts that bubbled within her.Sensing Xander's sincerity, Lana grappled with her feelings about their budding relationship. Despite her uncertainties about the future, she respected his feelings. She was keenly aware of the depth of his sincerity
In the hushed atmosphere of the hospital room, Romelius shifted uneasily. His gaze fell to his quivering legs. Trying to conceal his discomfort, he mumbled, "My legs are itching."Lana's expression darkened as she retorted, "You're lucky you said that only around me. If the elders heard it, you'd be in some serious trouble."Nervously, Romelius nodded and managed a sheepish grin. "I won't say such words again in the future, I promise."Lana remained perplexed."Seriously, what's going on with you two lately?" She paused, searching their faces for answers. "Why do you act so cautiously around me? I'm not a monster, you know."This odd behavior from Romelius and Mandy had begun back in the previous hospital.Lana couldn't shake off her confusion. They seemed afraid she might bail on them at any moment.Romelius and Mandy exchanged uneasy glances.They couldn't meet Lana's eyes because of the guilt weighing heavily on their hearts.Despite Lana being sent away after birth, Ro
"Ms. Clark, I understand your concerns," Freya said persuasively. "Rest assured, if Mr. Garrison Senior can't be cured, we won't hold you responsible."However, should he recover, the Garrison family will owe you a favor. Given your new status in Dawsbury City, I believe some assistance in the business world would be invaluable."With just a word from us, the Garrisons, there's nothing beyond our reach."Freya's statement was tinged with arrogance. Even so, it held a genuine promise."Very well, please arrange for a car to pick me up," Lana agreed. Then, she gave Freya Mandy's hospital address.After the call ended, Romelius noticed Lana's troubled expression."Lana, is there something on your mind? You can talk to me. I'm here to help you."Lana shook her head. She recounted the details of her conversation with Freya."What? Freya contacted you personally?" Romelius was usually composed. However, he was visibly taken aback by Freya's direct approach."Is she truly that influe
The room brimmed with joy as everyone celebrated.Wearing a satisfied smile, Freya mimicked Lana's cunning tone. She playfully rubbed her round belly and teased, "Dad, when did you learn to speak like that?"Hector grew increasingly frustrated. He retorted, "What do you mean, learn to speak? I've always—"He abruptly stopped, startled by his own words.Just a few days ago, he had suffered a stroke and was unable to speak. He had to rely on conservative treatment from his private doctor.Yet now, after Lana treated him with acupuncture, he could talk again?Amidst his astonishment, Hector looked at Lana with newfound respect. "Lana, your medical skills are truly exceptional!"Lana didn't downplay the compliment and replied, "I'm just average, ranked third best in the world."Her mentor held the first position, and her senior colleague claimed the second. Hence, Lana considered herself third.Freya's face rarely broke into a smile. She commented, "Ms. Clark, I'm glad I made the
"Aim his arrow?" Hector's revelation left Lana stunned. "So he wants to shoot me to death?" she uttered in disbelief.Hector hurriedly clarified, "No, no, no! Cupid, the god of love, wants you and my grandson to be together!"Lana shook her head, denying the offer. "No, no, no. Such a good opportunity should be reserved for a nice girl from a good family. I'll pass," she said firmly.Recently crowned as the wealthiest woman in Zanteles, Lana had no intention of being ensnared in the cage of marriage again.Outside, there were plenty of handsome and caring young men waiting for her affection.Unfazed by Lana's initial rejection, Hector remained persistent. "Well, if you won't accept my proposal to be my granddaughter-in-law, at least do me the honor of attending the homecoming dinner for my stubborn grandson."Given that it was merely a dinner event, Lana agreed.She acknowledged her limited social circle in the new city. Thus, Lana viewed the Garrison family's invitation a
