Rodney did not say another word.Looking at the situation, Hans left silently.No one knew how long Rodney stood downstairs.…Rodney did not come to the ward even though Sarah had waited a long time.The nurse came to put her on the IV drip. It was a new nurse who came that day, and she did not manage to insert the needle properly the first time. As such, Sarah threw a tantrum. “Get the head nurse over to insert the needle for me. Doesn’t she know my identity? Why did she assign some random person who treats me like a lab rat? Are you guys asking to get fired?”The nurse’s expression turned cold. “I know even without you telling me. You’re a mistress, right?”“Who’s a mistress? Do you have a death wish?” Sarah immediately sat up straight. Her face, which was covered in wounds, looked mean and scary. “I’ll have someone fire you right now.”If it were before, the nurse would be afraid. However, she did not want to tolerate it anymore. “Do you really think you’ll marry the succ
The nurse was startled. She quickly pressed the bell to call for an emergency.When Rodney outside heard a few doctors running toward Sarah’s ward, a bad feeling arose in his heart. He went back to the ward in a hurry. Sarah was lying on the bed, and the doctors were checking her heartbeat. Her face was as pale as a sheet, and there was a puddle of blood on the floor.“What happened?”Rodney felt like his head was about to explode. He was already in a bad mood, and the deterioration of Sarah’s condition made him even more flustered.Sarah was so furious that she could not say a word. She simply glared at Rodney. The nurse at the side said as she trembled. “She was so angry from finding out about the changes in Snow Corporation’s share allocation that she coughed up blood…”When the nurse saw that Sarah could not speak because she was too furious, she only told half the truth.Rodney was extremely infuriated. He glared at the nurse and shouted angrily, “Were you the one who
Chester knew everything. Yet, he still walked toward the bed and gazed at Sarah. He said, “Sarah, be more open-minded. Although Rodney has lost Snow Corporation, it also means that the Snow family won’t bother you and Rodney anymore. Both of you have gone through many hardships to finally be together. Rodney and your wishes have already been fulfilled in one way or another. From now on, stay by each other’s side. Even if your legs are crippled, Rodney is a person who takes relationships seriously. He’ll surely take good care of you.”Sarah did not feel consoled hearing Chester’s words. Instead, she almost coughed out mouthfuls of blood again. To hell with finally being together. She did not like Rodney at all!All she wanted was to be the matriarch of the Snow family. That way, all noble and influential people would fight to curry her favor.However, everything was gone.Rodney held Sarah’s hand and consoled her, “Sarah, you don’t have to think that you’ve dragged me down. I’ve n
“What ideas do you have in mind?” Freya became excited. Catherine said playfully, “Actually, Sarah doesn’t like Rodney. She’s simply using him. I think she likes Shaun more, but she just can’t get hold of Shaun at all.”“You’re right. I believe that if only Chester had shown a bit of interest in Sarah back then, she wouldn’t have chosen Rodney. Although Chester is sc*mmy, he is capable.”“Mm,” Catherine replied and smiled vaguely. “Say, once Rodney and Sarah get married — when they spend more time with each other, and Rodney’s career continues going downhill, do you think Sarah will want to have an affair when another man richer than Rodney appears?”“Ahem.”Freya, who was eating oranges, was so shocked that she choked. “Do you want Rodney to be cheated on?”“He has done the same to you. Don’t you want him to experience the feeling of being cheated on as well?” Catherine asked playfully, “Or will you feel sorry for him…”“To hell with feeling sorry.”Freya blurted out some fou
Why did she not think of that?Freya could not wait to see Rodney’s face when he was cheated on. It would be one of the most exhilarating moments in her life.…5:30 p.m.Just as the housekeeper had finished preparing the meal, Ryan entered the house with some stuff in his hands. Freya glanced at the shopping bags in his hands and asked, “Why are you back? Do you get off work this early?”“Mm. I had some business outside, so I didn’t head back to the office.”Ryan walked to the rocking crib, took a toy phone from a shopping bag, and placed it in Dani’s small hands.When Dani heard the music, she laughed happily.“You bought toys for Dani again.” Freya saw it too. She thought Ryan was spoiling Dani too much.“I bought it when I saw it while shopping for groceries at the supermarket.” Ryan’s brows arched into curves as he smiled. “There were a lot of children’s toys at the supermarket. It’s too bad that Dani is still too young. When she grows up, I can buy her Barbie dolls a
After being stunned for a while, Freya gave Ryan a thumbs up in admiration. “As expected of Young Master Ryan. Even the hotpot you eat is of high class and quality. I’m so lucky to be able to have this.”“And so?”Ryan looked up with his dark eyes that were filled with amusement. “You said you were going to treat me to a meal when I helped you last time. Yet, I’m the one treating you now. Say, how many meals do you owe me?”“You can take note of it. It’s hard for me to move around now, but I’ll return those favors slowly after I recover.”Freya had felt pressured in the past. However, perhaps it was because she owed Ryan too many favors that she eventually did not feel pressured about it anymore.Then, she eagerly took her spoon and continued scooping more vegetables from the hotpot.Ryan blocked her spoon. “What?” Freya glared at him with her big eyes, which looked as if they were whining. “Stopping someone from getting good food is more despicable than standing in the way of
“Yes, I am flat-chested from the start.” Ryan raised his eyebrows. “You’re my family now, so you’re flat-chested too, right? Don’t put yourself down as well.”Freya could not tolerate it anymore and cursed. “You’re ignorant. I’m a C cup.”“Is a C cup big? I wouldn’t know anyway,” Ryan replied as he cleared the rubbish on the table.“Don’t pretend to be innocent,” Freya said instinctively. “Men nowadays mature at a young age. You can’t possibly still be a…”Ryan raised his head. His bright eyes stared into hers. “Is that weird?”“...”F*ck. Did she just find out some breaking news?However, thinking about it, it seemed normal. Rodney was still a virgin even though he was 30 years old.Freya used to think it was rare, and she even felt touched. In the end, it was all b*llshit. A man turning bad had nothing to do with the age he lost his virginity.“Uh… It’s not weird.” Freya felt like her brain could not keep up with her mouth, and some awkward words blurted out of her. “Anywa
“Alright. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have joked about you having big boobs and no brain.”Ryan crouched beside Freya. He spoke to her while staring at Dani, “Although you’re usually clumsy, you’re quite smart when it comes to your job. Look, you’ve developed so many bottles and tubs of things. I wouldn’t be able to do it if it were me. I admired researchers like you the most when I was young.”Freya’s lips curved into a smile at the praise. However, she quickly suppressed it. “I’m not a researcher at all. I just deal with cosmetics.”“What’s wrong with cosmetics? It can make everyone prettier. Wow, if it weren’t for remarkable researchers like you, there'd be many weather-beaten faces in this world. It’s you people who make the world more beautiful.”Ryan suddenly turned his head around, and his dark eyes blinked playfully at Freya.When Freya met his eyes, she unconsciously raised her hand and slapped his shoulder lightly. “You’re exaggerating.”“I’m not exaggerating. I respect ea
