Lana walked Xander to his car in the hospital's underground parking lot. Just as Xander was about to get in, he suddenly remembered something. So, he said, "By the way, the reality show we're participating in is scheduled to start filming next month. "I checked the dates, and with your recent transplant surgery, I'm concerned about how your body will cope. How about I ask them to postpone it? I think it would be easier coming from me." Realizing that Xander was concerned about her health, Lana laughed joyfully. "There's no need for that. I know my body well. By then, I'll be as fit as a fiddle again."When it came to reality shows, everyone had to sign contracts, and there were penalties for delays or breaches. The thrifty Lana would never agree to that! Xander couldn't convince her, so he could only remind her, "Take good care of yourself during this period. I'll visit again on Mands' surgery day." Lana nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. After seeing off Xander, as Lana
The villa owned by the Watson family was given to Marion by her father before she got married. People often said that once a woman was married, she lost her own say. Her in-laws would treat her like an outsider, and even her own family might do the same. Marion's father was unwilling to see his beloved daughter in such a predicament. He worried that if Marion and Devon ever had disagreements in the future, she wouldn't even have a place to stand. Hence, he gave her this villa, which he cherished the most during his lifetime. In fact, Marion considered this place as the one where she could do whatever she wanted. After Lana saved her from a near miscarriage last time, Marion hadn't returned to Quinn Residence. Especially after seeing Rosa's fake façade, Marion chose to distance herself from the Quinn family for her own sake and the sake of her baby. Unfortunately, while Marion was enjoying afternoon tea and basking in the sun in her backyard that afternoon, a servant came to
Marion fainted, and the most anxious person was undoubtedly Priscilla. She shouted, "Quick. Call an ambulance, and get Devon back soon." As Priscilla and the servants were in a state of panic, Rosa on the side stayed cool and composed. No one realized that she was smiling as she observed Marion, whose face had turned pale. It took quite some time before Rosa dramatically ran to Marion, wailing and sobbing loudly. "Aunt Marion, are you alright? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought up the past at a time like this." She continued, "Aunt Marion, please wake up! You and the baby must be safe. Otherwise, I'll be the eternal sinner of the Quinn family. Aunt Marion, why aren't you waking up? If something happens to you, I can only atone with my life." Just as she finished speaking, Rosa grabbed a fruit knife from the coffee table and was about to cut her own wrist. Witnessing the scene, Priscilla was so scared that she couldn't even make a sound. She rushed forward and bumped
After receiving Devon's call, Lana wasted no time and swiftly arrived at the hospital where Marion was. This move surprised Devon immensely. He exclaimed, "I thought you wouldn't come!" "It's not like you're the one in conflict with me. Why wouldn't I come?" Lana replied as they walked, and her speech was faster than usual. In the midst of the conversation, both of them arrived at the ward where Marion was.Marion's complexion was pale as she slept, and there was an IV drip attached to her hand. Lana took a look at it and found that it was just a standard saline solution. Perhaps they believed that the baby in Marion's belly was beyond saving, so the hospital resorted to the most basic conservative treatment. After a brief examination, Lana retrieved her acupuncture tools and silently began the treatment. With the experience from the last time, Devon dared not even breathe as he watched. As Lana inserted the last needle, Devon noticed once again that she was drenched i
There were no secrets that time would not reveal. Despite the Quinn family's efforts to suppress the matter involving Joyce, some details have still been leaked. Somehow, even the fact that Romelius transferred a significant portion of his pre-marital assets to Lana became known.When Joyce encountered trouble, many assumed it was related to Romelius' long-standing affection for Mandy. Even Rosa fell out of favor with her father. Consequently, many people believed that Joyce's situation was irreversible. Many socialites and noblewomen who were once close to Joyce kept silent, wishing they had never known her. They lived in constant fear, afraid of being implicated by Joyce and earning the resentment of the Quinn family.Even Andrew shared this sentiment. He thought that, since Carol and Rosa were close, Carol would likely be affected now that Rosa and her mother had become the least favored individuals in the Quinn family. This made Andrew anxious about his chances of meeting the
Carol felt that if she didn't bring up the matter of meeting Devon now, she might not have another chance in the future. So, without hesitation, she immediately asked Rosa, "Rosa, Mr. Turner wants to meet the president, do you think ..."However, before Carol could finish her sentence, Rosa interrupted her. "Carol, I never get involved in my uncle's affairs. I'm sorry!"This was what Rosa was like. Although she enjoyed flaunting her superiority over others, she wouldn't go out of her way to do favors for others. That was why, over the years, many people surrounded her, but few would maintain a lasting friendship with her."Alright then."Initially, Carol had intended to get up and leave, no longer wasting words with Rosa. However, thinking that she might still be able to use Rosa's status for her own purposes, she stayed for another half an hour before finally leaving.Carol didn't expect Rosa's refusal to be so thorough. She felt like she had wasted her enthusiasm during this per
Zeke certainly knew that Carol had always wanted him to get Sarah out. But he had been under Sarah's control for over 20 years, and he had only recently tasted the sweetness of freedom. How could he possibly let that old tigress out?This was also the reason Lana wasn't worried about Sarah being released anytime soon. With Zeke around, Sarah probably wouldn't get out of prison in this lifetime."Carol, dear, I'll listen to anything you say!" Zeke replied, but whether he would actually do so was hard to say.Carol nodded and added, "Once things settle down on my end, I'll bring my brother over. When Jennifer and Mom return, our family will be reunited. By then, we won't be dealing with lowly families anymore. We'll be a well-known family in the country."Carol became more and more excited, as if she had already achieved great things for her family....Finally, the day for Mandy's bone marrow transplant had arrived.As a doctor, Lana knew that before undergoing transplantation, M
Despite Nadia's seemingly gentle and calm appearance, she had a rather bold personality—especially after encountering Lana. Lana had taught Nadia how to be strong. So, when Nadia hung out with friends or classmates at amusement parks, everyone thought she would choose something like a carousel. But she always started with big swings or roller coasters.When Howard went to the amusement park with her, there were several times when he almost had a heart attack from being scared. So, tonight, when Nadia chose a horror movie, Howard was mentally prepared.Maybe it was the case of a tipsy mind not being focused on the bar. When the female lead in the movie finished washing her hair and was sitting in front of the dressing table, the ghost suddenly appeared behind her, hugging her waist. The screams in the cinema almost lifted the roof.Nadia was no exception. She turned her head in fright and naturally leaned toward Howard. Everyone was scared, even someone like Nadia. So, how was Howa
