When Faye arrived at the hospital, Victor was in the operation room. Lukas sat in front of the door with his head bowed, looking exhausted. When he noticed Faye, he looked up. "Faye, you are finally here … I'm sorry, but the state my uncle was in was just too scary, and I …"She shook her head. "It's okay. Don't panic. Tell me what happened to your uncle."Lukas nodded and took a deep breath. "Recently, he would take a walk every morning and night at the park near our place. At first, he would get tired after just a few steps, but now he can occasionally run two laps. In hopes of having you cure him, he has been working really hard to get stronger. "This morning, when I accompanied him on his morning run, he said he wanted to run an extra lap. After he finished, he looked energized. I even complimented him on getting stronger. "To my surprise, he puked blood when he went home to shower. I only happened upon the blood stain when I went into the bathroom to look for somethi
After inquiring with the doctors about the current situation, Lukas headed out to learn that Faye had already left. Before she left, she told Lukas to keep her identity a secret and shot him a stern look. "I did a blood transfusion, so I'm a bit tired. I don't want to deal with them, understand?"Lukas was grateful for her help. He was reminded that she had come to help Victor, only to end up donating her blood. Feeling guilty, he agreed to any request she had. It wasn't until the doctors stepped out that he realized Faye had done far more than a blood transfusion for Victor. Feeling moved, he felt as though Faye was truly a goddess. When Faye returned home, she felt tired. She took a brief shower before going to sleep. After waking up, she came to realize that she hadn't completed her investigation. It was getting dark outside, and she was starving. She planned to order takeout and continued working. Just then, Cedric called. "Where are you?" he asked in a pleasant
Faye didn't attend Damien's gourmet tasting event with Cedric. Instead, she went with Avery. Avery brought Cecilia along. When the three arrived at the entrance of the upscale dessert shop that was hosting the event, a crowd had already gathered in the courtyard.The white tables were adorned with lively checkered tablecloths, complemented by white chairs and several rotating tables filled with various delicacies.As soon as Cecilia entered, she couldn't contain her excitement and started munching on pastries. With her mouth full, she waved to Avery and Faye. "Mo—Avery, Faye, come! The food is amazing ..."With her mouth full of delicious treats, she looked overjoyed and slurred her words. Avery looked at her adoringly and walked over to pat her head. "Eat slowly. There's a lot of food here. Don't eat too much.""Mm, mm ..." Cecilia nodded in contentment. While grabbing a handful of popcorn from the table for children, she even started feeding Avery. "Avery, you shoul
When Faye clapped, Zara was startled and Tracy turned around. Spotting Faye, Tracy panicked. She took two steps back as she stole a glance at the young man sitting beside her. He was sipping tea with his head down."Faye, I didn't say anything. I didn't mean anything … I am just really happy that these girls like you so much."Faye nodded. "Thank you, sister.""I really didn't mean anything. I ..." Tracy said.She lowered her head and started to wipe away her tears pitifully. Faye simply retrieved what she had left on her chair and prepared to leave without a word. However, Zara stopped her. "Ms. Brown, aren't you going to explain yourself?"She regarded Faye as her role model. If she turned out to be a horrible person, she wouldn't admire her no matter how outstanding she was. At this moment, Faye's indifference and refusal to acknowledge others upset her. Was Tracy right, or was there something else?"What should I say?" Faye glanced at Zara. "Those who are inno
Faye didn't understand why Tracy would put herself in such a compromising position by trying to get her involved. Had she forgotten that Faye was far more talented than she was? Did she think that performing with someone else could alleviate some of the humiliation she felt?"Are you sure you want to dance with me?" Faye asked. Tracy glanced at the heels Faye was wearing and narrowed her eyes devilishly. "Of course. After all, I can't possibly be compared to your skills. Instead of disturbing the guests with my mediocracy, I figured having you here can at least offer a visual treat for them."Faye came close to sarcastically clapping for Tracy once again. Did she really think Faye didn't notice the cunningness that flashed across her eyes?Faye shrugged. "Don't underestimate yourself, Tracy. This is your chance to prove yourself. It won't be appropriate for me to get in the way of that, right?"Kimberly nodded. "Yeah, Ms. Brown is far too talented to perform with anyone e
"Haha, I didn't expect you to like this, Ms. Brown. I'm slightly surprised," Damien said with a smile."I've suffered from poor health since a young age, so I carry a scent of medicine on me wherever I go. As I got used to it, I started to grow fond of this scent. These cakes were made for me by an old lady I had met when I was a child. At the time, these were the best dishes in the whole world to me. I can't forget about them even now."I recently visited a herb plantation and processing factory, and discovered that they were using herbs with medical properties in food. Aside from soup and ordinary dishes one sees in the market, they even made cakes with herbs. When I returned home, I led my team to begin researching and recreated them over three months."He then sighed. "However, cakes that taste like herbs don't really have much market value.""What if you sell them as a health supplement instead of desserts?" Faye blurted out. His eyes lit up and he shot her a look of appro
A strange feeling rose in Faye's heart. She followed Clint and Lizzie to Victor's room.Clint and Lizzie had lost the arrogance they once had, and both had lost weight.Faye was aware of their recent situation. With the little money they had, Clint and Lizzie joined Lizzie's brother in making an investment. However, Lizzie's brother was not competent. He had only invited Clint to invest because his company was on the verge of collapsing.Unfortunately, Clint was unaware of this and thought it was a great opportunity for a comeback. Hence, he put all his money into the project. In the end, they had lost everything. If Clint hadn't invested in another project before, they might not even have been able to afford to rent a house.Their quality of life sharply declined, making their days very difficult. Lizzie insisted on siding with her family, making it impossible for Clint to retrieve his money.The two were at their wit's end and could barely afford a life in Jeorgia, yet her
Noticing the confused look on Victor's face, Clint knew that his words worked and Victor was starting to believe him. Even if Victor didn't completely believe what he said, Clint had succeeded in piquing his interest and getting him curious. With his head bowed, Clint sighed and pulled Lizzie to the chairs nearby to take a seat. Smiling bitterly, he said, "Yes, the truth. When I first met her, she was alone and had started a small business in Jeorgia. I was one of the managers she hired. She was only in her 20s at the time. "Not only was she beautiful and young, she was also talented and great at running a business. I admired her and thought that a woman like her, who could do anything, was practically a goddess. "She was rich and capable, so I assumed she was an aristocratic lady who only came to get a taste of ordinary life. "However, the more I got to know her, the more I realized that she was different from other high-born ladies. She wasn't proud and was reliable, more
