"How exactly should I react, Ms. Streep?" Faye stood and watched as Anastasia panted with her face flushed.Faye smiled. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?""Why are you still fine? What the hell is going on?" Anastasia screamed hysterically. Faye raised an eyebrow. "What makes you say that, Ms. Streep?" She strode forward. "Should we take you to the hospital?""Don't touch me!" Anastasia pushed Faye away before she could touch her, "I put it in your cup and your plate! How … How are you alright?" she screamed in frustration. Faye's expression darkened. "What did you put in?"Anastasia gritted her teeth to prevent herself from losing control. Snapping out of it, she realized she had come close to letting it slip and flushed in anger. "Nonsense. I didn't do anything!"Faye kept her polite smile. "You look unwell, Ms. Streep. Perhaps something was wrong with the dishes! Waiter!" A staff member hurried over. Faye pointed at Anastasia. "Ms. Streep looks unwell. I suspect
Cedric got into the car and drove straight to the private hospital owned by the Shaw family. Unexpectedly, Astrid was waiting outside the surgery room.Cedric's expression darkened, and his gaze became menacing. "Cedric, you're finally here!" Seeing Cedric, Astrid stood up and rushed towards him, anxiously throwing herself into his arms. "I am so scared …"Cedric stepped aside to avoid her with a gloomy expression. "What are you doing here?"Astrid staggered and almost fell to the ground. After balancing herself, she looked up at Cedric and bit her lip. "I-I went to see Grandpa this morning. Suddenly, he had a heart attack! So I brought him here ..."Astrid was wearing a light beige dress. It was a custom design from Allyson Designs, tailored for her slender figure. The high-quality material wrapped around her graceful figure and the well-fitted large V-neck added a touch of subtle allure. The beige color added a hint of innocence to her appearance. She looked pitiful with mi
Meanwhile, in Freesia, Faye went downstairs with Lincoln but wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, she glanced at the hotel next to the restaurant. From what she saw, Anastasia headed that way. If she wasn't mistaken, Anastasia probably had something arranged there. What did she plan exactly?Faye rubbed her nose, feeling the urge to watch the drama unfold. She went into the car, unlocked her phone, and activated the tracker she placed on Anastasia. Soon, the phone displayed Anastasia's location and the audio from Anastasia's end. Anastasia entered a room, and there was the sound of water running. She later made a call to seek help. Soon, there was the sound of clothes tearing, followed by unspeakable noises. Faye chuckled, not wanting to imagine the scene. Judging from the noise, at least three men were inside the room. "Anastasia sure has quite a preference in bed?" she thought. Faye's expression darkened, and her gaze sharpened as she recalled the drug on her utens
"Ding!"The surgery room door opened, and a young doctor in a scrub suit walked out. He came out to the sight of Cedric strangling a woman, causing him to pause for a moment.Cedric withdrew his arm upon sensing another presence.Astrid fell weakly to the ground. The warmth from Cedric's palm still lingered on her neck, but the burning pain made it difficult for her to breathe."Ahem!" Nathan Nealand was the chief doctor of the private hospital owned by the Shaw family and Frederic's main attending doctor.Frederic had been fine over the years, with the exception of his weak heart. Still, after years of treatment, he had improved significantly and wouldn't have a heart attack unless he was provoked. Regardless, it was normal for people to grow weaker as they aged. "What happened?" Cedric frowned, his voice cold.Nathan took off his face, revealing his handsome features. "There is no major issue.""He hasn't had an attack for a long time. Why did it happen this time?" Cedric,
"And this is?" Nathan noticed Faye early on. At first, he thought she was associated with Lincoln and didn't inquire further. But when Faye suddenly proposed to check on Frederic, he couldn't help but furrow his brow."Dr. Nealand, this is Faye, the chief designer of Light Moon Designs." Lincoln introduced. Noticing Nathan's somewhat puzzled expression, he smiled and added, "She's also my sister-in-law in a sense."Nathan was momentarily stunned at the words "sister-in-law". Lincoln referred to Cedric as his brother, meaning Faye must be Cedric's wife."So this must be Mrs. Shaw. I apologize for my rudeness." Nathan scanned Faye for a moment. Despite her seemingly simple and young looks, her noble and elegant demeanor made her seem formidable. He had always been curious about the kind of girl Cedric would choose. Seeing Faye, he realized that the two were a match made in heaven. Quickly averting his gaze, Nathan smiled. "Are you a doctor, Mrs. Shaw? Do you feel that there's
Faye didn't say much to Nathan and Vanessa. She simply informed Nathan that the harmful gas Frederic inhaled contained powdery particles. Due to the high concentration used, a considerable amount of residue was left in his oral and nasal cavities. Although these substances were not highly toxic, they would inevitably lead to side effects if they remained in the body. For Frederic, who had poor health, he would be easily affected.Nathan was aware of the severity of the situation, and his expression turned grim when Faye found the powder in Frederic's nostril. Vanessa failed to do her job properly and openly offended Faye. Even if Faye had just married Cedric, Cedric couldn't possibly have selected someone incapable as his wife. Looking at Faye's demeanor and ability to identify the cause of Frederic's issue with a glance, Nathan instinctively knew she was competent. Nobody could simply offend her."Dr. Nealand, I—" Vanessa felt wronged and wanted to explain herself, but Nat
"Bang!" The door collapsed from the force of the kick, slamming into the trash can next to it and sending dust into the air. The loud sound echoed in the air, proving the strength of Faye's kick. Lincoln was dumbfounded. He had always known that Faye was powerful. But for a delicate woman like Faye to kick down a door, just how hard did she kick? Most importantly, how could a young woman with a short stature possess such great strength?Did the strength come from the thought that Cedric had betrayed her? Still, it was shocking. Faye couldn't be bothered with the look on Lincoln's face. She stepped over the door. Despite not exerting much strength, the door squeaked like it couldn't withstand her weight. Lincoln trembled in fear. When he stepped on the door, he found that it didn't make a sound; he couldn't help but look at Faye like she was a monster. Faye walked past the general office area and stood before a door leading to a bedroom. As the vice president and the pi
Cedric carried Faye to Nathan. When Cedric carried her into the emergency room hurriedly, shouting for Nathan. Nathan thought something horrible had happened. Cedric said Faye’s leg was injured and asked Nathan to check on her and prescribe some medicine. Nathan crouched down before Faye and stared at her perfectly unharmed leg thoughtfully. Did he fail as a doctor for failing to spot the injury? Or did Cedric love his wife so much that her reddened foot due to walking too much was considered an injury?"Ahem!" Sensing his awkwardness, Faye felt uncomfortable as well. "Dr. Nealand, it’s been a while since I’ve worked out, and I exhausted the muscle on my leg just now. "The tip of my foot hurts a little, and my calf is numb. Just give me some medication to help with blood circulation."Though her medicine would work just as well as Nathan’s prescription, Cedric cared about her, and she decided to give him a chance to prove himself. After all, if she could do everything herse
