“Sister? Aren’t you a few months older than him?” Catherine teased playfully. “Oh well. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the one you slept with back then. His character is much better than Rodney.” Freya was stunned. She would not argue with Ryan, nor would they turn against each other. Moreover, Ryan was quite attentive and warm. If it had been him...Hold on. What on earth was she thinking?Ryan was Rodney’s cousin. She should not even think about such a thing at all.“Don’t talk nonsense.” Freya quickly glared at Catherine. “He’s my godbrother and Rodney’s cousin. Your thoughts are ludicrous.”She spoke so hastily that she became agitated. Her chest hurt, and she was a little short of breath.“Fine, fine. I was just saying. Why are you so agitated?” Catherine promptly comforted Freya. “Since I’ll be accompanying you in the hospital these few days, I asked Shaun to find out Sarah’s condition.”She went out to search for Shaun and spotted him talking on the phone at the staircase.On
Catherine replaced Ryan by sitting in his seat. She learned to blow on the soup as he did. However, when the food entered Freya’s mouth, Freya grumbled softly, “Cathy, it’s hot. Are you trying to burn my tongue?”Catherine was speechless. “But it wasn’t hot when Ryan fed you just now, huh?”“He cooled it down first.”“...”Fine. Did that mean Catherine was not attentive as a man?…Outside the emergency room.Rodney wrapped his hands around his head and waited outside for two hours before the doctor finally came out.He promptly dashed toward the doctor. “Doctor, how’s the patient?”“She’s in a bad condition. Her face… is disfigured. Her muscles and tendons are broken due to excessive blood loss, the delay in sending her here, and her infected wounds. Although we’ve fixed her tendons through the surgery, her nerves have certainly been injured. It’s uncertain whether she can walk in the future. As for her hands… After a few months of treatment, it’ll be good enough if she can e
Rodney could never be able to fully compensate Sarah in this life.He was so guilty that his eyes reddened.He had never thought Freya would be so cruel. She used to be quite a nice person, but to think she was cruel enough to kidnap Sarah and even break her limbs.How wicked of her.Why did he marry such a wicked woman as his wife?She even gave birth to his child.If Rodney had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would not have believed it.What tormented him more was that he had no idea how to face Sarah.After the doctor left, Landon from Snowden walked up to Rodney and reported, “I’m sorry, Young Master Snow. We wanted to send Young Madam to the police station as per your instruction, but after you left, Little Young Master Snow came to take her away.”Rodney pulled Landon over. From his eyes, he looked as though he was going to eat Landon up. “Even with so many of you, Ryan managed to take her away. What’s the point of paying you guys?”Landon’s thin lips twitched. I
The most furious moment in Wendy’s life was caused by her son.Jessica held Wendy’s shoulder. Then, she turned around and said to Rodney frostily, “Rodney, no matter how stubborn you are, don’t think of turning against the whole Snow family. You should be clear about the consequences. Don’t end up losing everything for the sake of Sarah. You might not care about it, but Shaun is targeting Sarah too. If you hadn’t been keeping a close watch on Sarah, he would’ve done away with her. If you offend the Snow family behind you, how are you going to protect Sarah?” “Who on earth is your biological child now? Freya or I?” Rodney was infuriated that they took advantage of his Achilles heel.“Firstly, Freya is Dani’s mom, so your grandpa won’t allow anything shameful to happen to his grandchild’s mom. Secondly, this is your uncle’s order,” Jessica enunciated each word coldly. “Don’t always think about Sarah. You should be considerate toward your child too.” “Hah. I hope so too, but has Fre
Where was Freya?Eliza had too many questions.She tried to dash out the door barefoot without caring much about anything. She was not even bothered to search for her slippers as she rushed toward the door in her barefoot.Creak.Suddenly, the room door opened from outside.Chester entered the room, dressed in a light gray shirt and a pair of black casual pants. He was tall and graceful, and his face handsome and exquisite.He was holding a tray with a glass of milk and a sandwich on it. His movement exuded a sense of elegance and nobility.“It’s you?” Eliza instantly realized what had happened. “You’re the one who brought me here. Where’s Freya?”“Have some breakfast.” Chester placed the tray on the television cabinet at the side. Eliza grabbed hold of him, her eyes filled with agitation. “You made her stay there, didn’t you?”“She voluntarily stayed there. You have such a good buddy.” Chester fixed his eyes on the wrinkled part of his shirt that she was holding. His tone w
However, Eliza was the sort who would seek vengeance. From the moment she learned of Jennifer’s death, she had lost her composure.She even felt that her only goal of living was to take revenge.As she was occupying someone else’s body, her life had been meaningless.Eliza’s eyes slowly turned red with pain.She tried to hold back the tears in her eyes.It was Chester’s first time seeing her in such a state. He felt as though a stone was thrown into his heart, creating layers of ripples. He stretched out his hands, wanting to hug her.However, Eliza retreated and pushed him away. “Chester, thank you for hiding the issue for me yesterday, but the only feeling I have for you is gratitude. You sacrificed Freya to help me, so it’s impossible for me to feel touched.”Chester fixed his cold gaze at her. “Eliza, why must you be so realistic?”“You’re the real one.”Eliza stared calmly into his eyes. He was very good-looking and always exuded a brilliant aura, but she would never ha
With a smile, Chester suddenly moved closer to Eliza’s ears and said nastily, “Eliza, you wanted to send a few of your subordinates overseas before this, right? I don’t think I’ve told you that they haven’t been able to leave the country…” Eliza suddenly lifted her head, her eyes pretty and clear. She glared at him in shock. “What did you do?”“Nothing much. All I did was refuse their visas. With their names and identities exposed, they can’t go overseas for now. As you know, they might be in danger being in the country too. Having said that, I can easily do something to ensure their safety.”Chester covered the cigarette in his mouth while lighting it. As usual, his remarks were harsh, but he said it with a gentle smile on his handsome face, like an elegant young man.However, his behavior was far from gentlemanly.Eliza instantly grasped his meaning.Her right hand was shivering with anger. She had an urge to slap him.“You want to slap me, huh?” Chester raised his brows. “Su
“Good…”Chester lifted Eliza’s chin softly before he leaned over to kiss her.Eliza subconsciously resisted him.“Did you forget what I said?” Chester nibbled her lips and stared at her. Their long eyelashes almost tangled together. Eliza was filled with despair. Ultimately, she had no choice but to surrender to her fate. She opened her lips slightly and accepted his kiss.She was still not done eating the egg, so the taste was still in her mouth. If this had happened in the past, Chester would have been disgusted. However, he found the egg particularly delicious today.He kissed her so passionately that it was as though he was going to eat her up.Only until he kissed Eliza’s neck did she dodge him. “I didn’t rest well last night. I’m exhausted.”“Okay. I’ll let you rest for two days.” Chester was not in a hurry, and he stroked her long hair.“I want to go to the hospital to visit Freya this afternoon. No matter what, I need to thank her,” Eliza said lethargically with her h
