The next day, Nancy said that she was bored at home, and told Yaaocb that she wanted to go shopping with Celica.It was the first time she had asked to go shopping with him.It was like they were a family of three!Yaacob was incredibly happy. There was no way he would refuse.Century Square was packed. He was worried that she would be recognized, so Yaacob only allowed Nancy to watch the place with Celica in the car. He drove a bit slower.Nancy said, "What's the point of just looking out from the car? It's like we're just animals in a cage at the zoo.""Just wait for a moment," Yaacob said. "When it gets darker, I'll take you shopping.""Will we be living all our days like this if you insist on keeping me in Athenapolis?" Nancy asked."Nancy, give me a bit of time. Harrison is still refusing to budge, but I don't want to wait anymore. Once I solve some remaining problems, I'll give you and Celica the best life," Yaacob promised.It surprised him that Nancy did not remind him
Thanks to Yaacob's relationship with Harrison, he was the only person not restricted or patted down when he entered the president's residence.When Yaacob arrived, Harrison was playing chess with a foreign ambassador.Harrison pretended to be fixated on the game and did not even look up.Only when someone told him Yaacob had arrived did Harrison look up. He said, "Oh, Yaacob. If you have something to talk to me about, then please sit down for now. Let me finish this game."It was clear that the old man was deliberately making things hard for Yaacob since Yaacob had suddenly announced that he had a daughter and wanted to marry.When Yaacob arrived, Lynn happened to arrive as well.She happily grabbed hold of Yaacob's arm. "Uncle Yaacob, did you come to see me?""I came to see the president."Yaacob pulled his arm away and kept his distance from her.Lynn was not very happy about that, but she walked right over and dragged Yaacob outside."My father's busy entertaining a guest
Yaacob pushed away the journalists and walked right to Nancy.He immediately took off his jacket and wrapped it around Nancy."Uncle Yaacob…"At that moment, Lynn called out to him with a hint of warning in her tone.She had just announced their wedding. If Yaacob brought Nancy away at that moment, then the situation would never be able to be salvaged.'Uncle Yaacob, don't go. Otherwise, you won't be able to save your reputation, and my father won't let you off.' Lynn was trying to express that.Before she could say a word, her expression turned into one of fear.Yaacob had turned to look at her and Harrison with a terrifying expression before he brought Nancy away.Yaacob put Nancy in the passenger seat of his car and drove away from the president's residence. The woman said nothing the whole time."It's all right now."Yaacob wanted to pat her hand to console her, but she suddenly shied away, moving as far from him as she could.Nancy was definitely not acting normal.Whe
Learning that Nancy only wanted to see him because of Benson, Yaacob started to drive very slowly."Don't be in such a rush. Tell me what happened," Yaacob asked her."Benson's in critical condition right now. I have to go back to Rhea City today.""How is he suddenly in critical condition? Didn't he just drink a bit too much the other day?"Nancy glared at him. "You still want to bring that up? Benson's never been in good health, and he can't drink too much. Celica and I are trapped here by you, so there's no one around to take care of him. He even met Lynn the other day, and she said a bunch of nonsense to him."Yaacob had not known that Lynn had gone to Rhea City.However, something else piqued his curiosity. "The last time I saw him, he didn't look nearly as unhealthy as you said. He's a man in the end. Is he just going to fall from a gust of wind?""You wouldn't understand."Nancy did not plan on discussing Benson's condition with Yaacob.Benson's constitution was so bad
That night, Nancy and Celica arrived at the airport and headed straight to the hospital.When Celica saw Benson lying on the bed, looking much skinnier than before, she immediately started crying.Nancy's eyes reddened as well, and she held Celica as they walked over.The hand not covered by the blanket was full of needles.Benson was woken up by the sound of crying. When he opened his eyes and saw Nancy and Celica, his dispirited eyes suddenly lit up."Nancy, you're back."The man smiled and tried to sit up. Nancy hurried over to help him."I'm fine. Take Celica home to rest. She shouldn't be in the hospital so late.""You're already so sick. How could I go back?"Nancy stacked the pillows behind Benson before putting Celica into his arms.Celica was a good girl. She had just been scared when she had seen Benson lying in bed looking so loveless.She immediately stopped crying in Benson's arms.It had been many days since Benson had last seen Celica. He ran his fingers thro
Although Lynn had told him the truth, Yaacob still did not give her a chance to speak her mind. The man was only interested in the answer he had just received. He shut the window and left her.He sent a message to Randall. [Are you free for a drink today?][I can't today, I have something urgent to take care of!] Randall's urgent matter was actually Ethan's wound getting infected. Lola had called him in a hurry, and he was currently sending Ethan to the hospital.Lola held Ethan in the back seat and casually asked, "Are we going to the same hospital?""Yes.""Why don't we go to the second hospital? I heard that the doctors are slightly better there, and it's just one street away."Randall did not answer.He drove to the hospital that they had sent Ethan to the last time. The doctors there would better understand his situation.However, Lola suspected that he was going there to see Rowena.Even though it was still daytime, Rowena was at the hospital. She treated Ethan's w
Lola realized that she had lost her composure. She sat back down and acted like she did not understand Rowena's meaning."As a mother, I thank you for treating Ethan's infection. As for everything else, including my relationship with my husband, they have nothing to do with you. Honestly, Dr. Peck, I really admire you for stepping away three years ago. I hope you keep to your word, and don't try to pull any tricks."Had Rowena promised her anything?No.Lola had actually been the one to look for Rowena back then. Randall had wanted to break up with her, and she had come to ask Rowena to talk to Randall.Lola had also helped her when Rowena had been kidnapped.Owing her that favor, Rowena had indicated to Randall that she wanted to see him and Lola together.However, she had never promised Lola anything.She had cut ties with Randall for herself. Not anyone else.Lola was acting completely different from her usual self. It was like she had forgotten how pitifully she had behave
By the time Randall arrived at Rowena's place, she was having her dinner.Doctors are not actually healthier than anyone else. Their busy lives prevent them from having fixed schedules.Normally, Rowena would just go home and sleep after work. She would skip dinner if she had to.However, it was a Friday, so she had tomorrow off. She decided to leisurely make some steak for herself.It started to rain after midnight, so Rowena got up to close the balcony windows. She had just taken two bites of her steak when someone knocked on her door."It's already so late. Who could it be?"Rowena put on her slippers and walked to the door, looking through the peephole.The hospital dormitory was in need of improvements, and the corridor was dark so she could not see.Rowena was suspicious.She had always had a cold personality and was slightly unfriendly. Even though she had worked in the hospital for a while, she did not really have anyone she was close to at the hospital.The knocking
