Faye was in a good mood since she had gotten her pay, so she skipped work and went home to take Flora out for high tea. The two then went shopping to buy household items. Though the new villa had been furnished, they still needed to purchase various household items. Flora had been homebound, so she was desperate for fresh air. Excited that she was out shopping with Faye, she didn't hold back at all. Soon, the two were carrying numerous bags in their hands. It includes clothes, household items, decorations, shoes, and purses. At nine that night, Cedric called, and the two reluctantly told Cedric to pick them up. They first went to the new villa. Though it had recently been renovated, the butler would come by frequently to let air in to prevent any unpleasant smell. They set down the things they bought before returning to the apartment. After washing up, Faye was about to share what had happened earlier that day with Cedric when her phone rang. It was a call from Avery.
When Faye arrived at Avery's small apartment, it was already past three in the morning. She didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed over as soon as her flight landed. Avery had recorded her fingerprints on the digital lock, so Faye entered the apartment without much trouble. She went to Avery's room and found her lying on the bed, soaked in sweat, looking extremely disheveled and hardly conscious. Faye checked Avery's pulse and realized that Avery was dangerously weak. Gritting her teeth, she looked at Avery, who was gradually regaining consciousness and looking at her guiltily. She couldn't help but scold her, "What happened to your promise to me when I left? Avery, are you trying to get yourself killed? Are you seriously risking your life for an opening ceremony? Will dying on stage achieve the success you desire?"Have you considered about Cecilia and your parents? You have a death wish!" Avery clearly sounded frightened when she last called Faye in panic. Faye really
When Faye arrived at Yale Pharmacy, it was still dark outside, and Benjamin hadn't gotten up yet. Despite his old age, he didn't sleep and wake early like those of his age. He was used to staying up late, just like the younger generation nowadays, and enjoyed studying herbs in the middle of the night, usually sleeping until noon the next day. Only Dianne heard the commotion and rushed to Faye, wagging her tail affectionately to seek Faye's attention. Faye rubbed her furry head and chuckled. "You're the most considerate. Always the first to come out and greet me."Dogs were indeed intelligent beings, often more adorable and loyal compared to humans."Be a good girl and play by yourself. I have things to do." After calming the big dog down, Faye swiftly entered the basement behind the small wooden house, searching for the herbs needed to detoxify and heal Avery in Yale Pharmacy. She even grabbed some other herbs while she was at it. Since she was already here, she might as well
When Faye arrived at the hospital, Taylor was still waiting at the door. However, he had an important meeting at ten in the morning, so when Faye said she would be back around ten, he postponed the meeting to eleven. It was almost half past ten, and Faye hadn't returned, so Taylor was starting to grow anxious. It wasn't that the meeting couldn't proceed without him, but it had already been postponed once, and he was hesitant to do it again. After all, the people attending the meeting today were influential figures. Just as he waited anxiously, Faye hurriedly emerged from the elevator. Relieved, he quickly walked toward Faye."Dr. Reed, you're finally back ..." Taylor was so moved that he felt like crying.Faye frowned and whispered, "What's wrong? Did something happen to her?" Faye's mind was occupied by Avery's condition. Though it wasn't severe, Avery had not only intensified her training but also consumed problematic medicine for nearly half a month.Sighing, Faye was wor
It was already past noon when Avery's condition stabilized. Faye rushed here last night and hadn't eaten anything since then, so her stomach growled with hunger. Fortunately, she had bought a bottle of water when she came back, or she might have ended up dying from thirst before treating Avery. Now that Avery was taken care of, she decided to go out and grab something to eat. However, she was reluctant to leave Avery alone in the hospital.Just as she considered finding someone to stay with Avery, she saw a familiar figure walking by. Before she could speak, Lukas excitedly approached her. "Faye, it's really you. When did you return to Jorn City?"Faye nodded with a smile. "Mr. Garcia ...""I'm classmates with Sophia, so you can just call me by my name. There's really no need for such formality." Lukas scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed."Mr. Lukas, are you feeling unwell?" she asked. "Mr. Lukas …" Lukas thought. "Well, I guess that's still better than Mr. Garcia."
Ced? Faye?Faye and Cedric exchanged glances in confusion. Cedric was the first to cave and turned to look at Lukas with a lazy smile. "I didn't know you were on a first-name basis with your sister-in-law."Lukas shivered and stiffened. "Ced is so scary. I've only been gone for ten to 20 minutes, so what on earth happened? Wait … What did he just say?" Lukas thought. "Sis—Sis—Sister-in-law?" he shouted. "What kind of joke is this? Faye is Ced's mysterious wife, also the chief designer that Lincoln keeps praising every single day in the chat group? What?" he thought. Instantly, he was stunned. He remembered that Faye told him she was married and even showed him the marriage certificate on her phone when he tried to flirt with her. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Faye was young, and it was hard for him to associate her with marriage. Hence, he instinctively neglected the fact that she was married. However, not only was she married, she was actually marri
When Cedric and Faye returned to the hospital room, Avery had indeed woken up due to the pain. She lay on the hospital bed, gasping and moaning in misery. A month had passed since she sustained her injury, and she had been enduring the pain in her back almost every day. Initially, she knew it was caused by her overtraining against Faye's advice. Her body couldn't handle such high-intensity training, and her wounds repeatedly tore open, causing unbearable pain.However, after Faye prescribed her new medication and repeatedly warned her, Avery dared not act recklessly again. She obediently took her medicine and refrained from exercising in the following days, only moving around casually and refraining from stressing her back.According to Faye, following the prescription for ten days would lead to the recovery of the wound. In other words, ten days later, her body would be mostly back to normal, and she could start training cautiously without the risk of the wound reopening easily.
"Faye, you must have a solution. You're a miracle worker; you must have one." The hope that ignited was extinguished by Faye's words. Avery broke down, grabbing Faye's arm desperately. Her tears scrolled down her cheeks.The opening dance was not just a performance. For Avery, it was a chance to prove herself. Success would be a feather in her cap, enhancing her future. If things went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable. She couldn't allow everything she had painstakingly built to be destroyed like this.She would be doomed if even Faye couldn't help her. She had considered dancing despite her injury and was prepared for the worst-case scenario. Even if her body was completely ruined after the performance and she couldn't dance again, she would accept it. But now, she couldn't even bend over.She was utterly devastated. "Please, Babe, if you don't help me, my life will be over ..." Avery cried uncontrollably.Faye's expression remained stern. "If I help you do this, i
