"What are you doing?" Nadia exclaimed.Having reached her breaking point, Nadia forcefully pushed Wyatt away.Bonnie, noticing her son's strange behavior, rebuked him, saying, "Wyatt, what's going on with you? She's your sister. You can't act like this!"Wyatt awkwardly scratched his head and admitted, "I apologize. I haven't had much experience interacting with girls, and my behavior was inappropriate. I'll make sure to be more cautious in the future."Given his apology and the fact that they were biological siblings, Nadia chose not to make a big issue out of it.As Nadia and Bonnie exited the hospital, they spotted Maggie sitting near the entrance.Upon seeing them emerge, Maggie walked over sluggishly and inquired, "So, what are the test results?"Despite her recent conflict with Bonnie and Nadia, Maggie couldn't dispel her genuine concern regarding the results.Observing Maggie's heartfelt apprehension, Nadia found a renewed openness to engaging with her in the future, ado
Wyatt, wearing his customary playful grin, approached the glamorous woman. "Ma'am, I've taken care of everything as per your instructions."However, the woman declined to engage with him, only directing a fleeting glance toward her assistant standing nearby.Understanding her silent communication, the assistant promptly handed Wyatt a substantial check, cautioning, "This is your reward. Remember, if you dare breathe a word about this, be prepared for the consequences."Happily receiving the check, Wyatt nodded and gave his assurance to keep it a secret. Following that, he was swiftly ushered out of the car.The woman, with a trace of disdain, covered her nose and mouth with a scented handkerchief.The assistant grasped the unspoken cue, promptly spraying the area where Wyatt had stood with a burst of air freshener.It was only after this intervention that the woman gracefully lowered the handkerchief, visibly pleased with the enhanced atmosphere."Ma'am, shall we return to Dawsb
"Ms. Clark, dinner is served. What's on your mind?" Chris nudged Lana, snapping her out of her thoughts.Tanner and Andrew observed Lana's unusual demeanor and immediately expressed their concern."Lana, are you feeling unwell? Should I arrange for someone to escort you to the guest room for some rest?""Lana, your complexion doesn't look good. Would you like me to check on you?"Declining their offers, Lana reassured them, "Everyone, I'm fine. I just had a moment where I was lost in my thoughts, but I'm okay now."Observing that Lana wasn't seriously unwell, everyone didn't dwell on the matter and proceeded together to the Turner family's dining room.There, a table adorned with delicious dishes awaited. The dishes were all personally prepared by Merida, who eagerly anticipated their enjoyment.Following the satisfying meal, Lana handed Merida and Andrew two bottles of health supplements, along with tailored suggestions to support their individual health goals.Andrew and Meri
"Nadia, please, don't go tomorrow. Come back! I miss you," Lana pleaded earnestly.Nadia couldn't help but chuckle at Lana's childlike insistence."What's going on? Did you and Liam have a disagreement? Please, don't be stubborn. Liam is occupied, and it's not wise to act impulsively."Lana couldn't believe Nadia thought she had a fight with Liam.Meanwhile, Liam, minding his own business at home, found himself unexpectedly embroiled in trouble.Since Nadia had already set the stage, Lana could only play along and continue, "Come back soon. I'm on the brink of being bullied to exhaustion here. You've got to return and help me plot our revenge."Nadia thought Lana was simply in a fit of childish temper. After offering kind reassurances, the video call ended.Liam, occupied with his company responsibilities, nonchalantly remarked, "Is everything resolved now? You leveraged my reputation, but still, you couldn't persuade Nadia to come back."Lana felt an added layer of embarrassme
Nadia, still visibly shaken, sought refuge behind Bonnie while Wyatt maintained a sinister grin—the same lecherous smile that had unnerved her."Wyatt, step outside for a while. Until your sister leaves, you're banned from coming inside," Bonnie ordered with a surprising display of stern authority. It caught Nadia off guard.Her behavior was different from Nadia's usual impression of Bonnie. Bonnie was always timid in her interactions with her children, sometimes filled with guilt. However, her current anger toward Wyatt seemed authentic.It was as if Bonnie grasped his intentions toward Nadia, prompting her to exhibit a clear, protective instinct toward Nadia.After being reprimanded, Wyatt nonchalantly draped his clothes over his shoulders, shot a somewhat ambiguous glance at Nadia, and walked out shirtless.Bonnie finally released a sigh of relief, guiding Nadia to the sole chair in the house."Nadia, there's no need to be afraid. He's your brother and won't pose any harm to
"Wyatt, what in the world are you doing?" Bonnie exclaimed, stepping out and witnessing the scene with utter horror.Despite her loud reprimand, Wyatt showed no signs of restraint. Instead, he grew even more bold."I simply cannot let this beauty slip through my fingers when she's right in front of me, can I?" Wyatt declared, carrying Lana toward one of the bedrooms.Bonnie had been simmering with frustration, her anger reaching a point where it made her feel lightheaded.In stark contrast, Maggie continued watching TV and munching on snacks. She seemed acclimated to his behavior. Amidst the palpable tension, Nadia made her way to the kitchen. Upon her return, she tightly gripped a knife in her hand.With unwavering determination, Nadia, now armed with the knife, swiftly approached the bedroom door, intent on rescuing Lana.However, Wyatt's abrupt screams from within the room caught everyone off guard.In a surprising twist of events, Lana forcefully expelled Wyatt from the b
"What are you doing?" Maggie grabbed Lana's hand, questioning her directly. "These ravioli are specifically meant for Liam. Why are you taking them?"Lana let go of the plate, shrugging indifferently. "Well, give it to him yourself then!"As if Liam would genuinely eat those!Observing the circumstances, Maggie hastened to make amends and delicately positioned the plate of ravioli in front of Liam. "Liam, this is for you."Despite her efforts, Liam paid no attention to her.He calmly selected two ravioli from the sharing platter at the center of the table, blew on them, and then transferred them to Lana's plate. "Be careful, they're still hot."Lana relished Liam's attentive gesture and took a small bite. "They're delicious. Your picks are always the best."A sour expression crept across Maggie's face.Witnessing this, Wyatt erupted into laughter. "Hahaha, there has to be a boundary to flirting. Do you honestly think someone of his status would be interested in you?"On the ve
When Wyatt ran off, no one thought much of it. Bonnie and Maggie apologized to Lana and asked for her understanding.Lana wasn't someone who liked to trouble others, especially given her personality. Therefore, she only said that they should reprimand Wyatt more in the future, and then she let them go. Wyatt had caused such a mess that Bonnie felt embarrassed to stay there any longer. She left with Maggie in a hurry, as if they were running away. Nadia knew that she wouldn't be able to convince them to stay any longer, so she let them leave.The house had finally quieted down. Lana and Nadia looked at each other silently. Although they had only been apart for a few days, it felt as if the distance between them had grown even greater.Lana, who was terrified of this feeling, suddenly got up and ran to Nadia, hugging her tightly."Nadia, I miss you so much!"Nadia was a little bemused by Lana's sudden display of affection.She gently stroked Lana's head and said, "What are you
