"Mr. Cole, you told me not to play tricks. I can't ignore you, and I can't confront you. What exactly do you want me to do?" Lincoln was still reminiscing the moments he shared with Lucy in the past when her mocking tone snapped him back to reality. He looked at Lucy with narrowed eyes.She wore a casual, long white dress that loosely covered her fair body. The loose dress concealed her curvy figure, but Lincoln could still see through the dress. He couldn't help but swallow hard, then took a deep breath. Suppressing his urges, he turned his face away and said, "I just feel that maybe we can try a different way to get along peacefully."In truth, he felt confused as Lucy questioned him, not knowing what he wanted as well.When she wanted to get along peacefully, his pride got in the way. When she ignored him, he stirred up trouble. Now that she was arguing with him, he wasn't happy either. What was wrong with him?Lincoln turned his gaze away in frustration, feeling extreme
On the balcony, Faye stared at Lucy and Lincoln as they changed the tire. Suddenly, someone held her from behind, and she turned to look at Cedric in confusion. "What's wrong?" "What's so fun to watch?" Cedric asked. He had just come out of the shower and smelt like shampoo. His voice was husky, and her heart raced at the sound of it.Just then, Lincoln was walking toward the house to wash his hands, and Lucy was left alone as she stared dazedly at his retreating figure. Not wanting to alert the people downstairs, Faye pulled Cedric into the room and closed the doors. "I enjoyed a great drama scene. It's a shame that you missed it.""Oh?" Cedric frowned. "Lincoln and Lucy?"Faye shot him a knowing look. "You knew about this?"He shook his head. "Not interested.""Why not? Don't you think those two are quite a pair?""I suppose." He frowned and felt slightly displeased that his woman was interested in another man. What Faye said reminded him of how Lincoln practically
The next afternoon, Faye and Cedric visited Gloria at the hospital. Although it wasn't the first time Gloria met Cedric, it was the first time they had such close contact. Observing his caring attitude toward Faye, she smiled gently."Faye, seeing you so happy puts my mind at ease." Gloria held Faye's hand, her tone gentle. Faye took the opportunity to check Gloria's pulse, ensuring she was taking the medicine she had prescribed. She smiled and said, "Aunt Gloria, you will be happy in the future."Indeed, such a gentle person deserved to find happiness.Gloria chuckled but did not refute Faye. If Faye wished for her to be happy, she would let Faye believe she would be happy in the future. After all, it was Faye's wish. She didn't want to make Faye sad.During this period, both Sophia and Harlem took turns taking care of Gloria in the hospital. This afternoon, Sophia happened to return home to rest, leaving only Harlem in the ward.After chatting with Gloria for a while and
When Sophia returned to the hospital with dinner, she learned that Faye had been there. "Oh, she was here with her husband?" Sophia's eyes lit up. She hadn't been officially introduced to Cedric and had only seen him from afar once. After that, she saw his photo with Faye. At the time, she simply thought that he looked handsome and elegant. Also, he looked like her classmate's uncle. Her classmate's uncle was a big shot in Jorn City with fortune beyond measure. Faye's husband shared the same last name, but Sophia didn't think he was her classmate's uncle because she had heard from Faye that her husband was from Jeorgia. The Shaw family in Jeorgia was already exceptionally influential compared to them. Education could indeed change one's life. Faye studied hard, became a great dancer, and even excelled at playing the violin. Her talent led her to a brilliant man like Cedric.This made Sophia determined to study hard to change her life. That way, she could eventually sta
Just like that, Faye became the largest shareholder of Jorn Central Hospital, holding 50 percent of the shares. It meant that she dominated over all the other minor shareholders and possessed absolute decision-making power. She had initially intended to have Cedric pressure the hospital to give them the staff information and surveillance footage from last night, but now it seemed unnecessary. Faye contacted Dr. Ziegler and had him send the information to her, saying that she wanted to get familiar with the hospital's situation in advance.…Faye was chatting with Lucy in a coffee shop where Dr. Ziegler said he would pass her the documents. Lucy was still in good spirits as she shared recent events with Faye. Faye casually asked, "So, what's the situation between you and Mr. Cole?" Lucy immediately recalled the night when he changed her tire, his disheveled side profile, and how her heart fluttered when he crouched down. Avoiding Faye's gaze, she turned her face away and
Victor, despite his physical disabilities, practically sprinted into Layla's room. He had only stayed in Jeorgia for a few days. Ever since he reunited with Layla and learned that Faye was his daughter, his condition had rapidly improved. Standing up used to be laborious, but now, it was manageable. Although he couldn't run fast, it was still a significant step forward for Victor.When he entered the room, Faye had just gone to the bathroom to answer a call. Victor paled when he saw Frederic standing by the bed, chatting and laughing with Layla. He stopped himself from barging into the room. Instead, he cleared his throat to alert them of his presence and then smiled at them."Layla, who is this?" He smiled, took a difficult step forward, and stood in front of Frederic. Frederic wasn't tall but had a robust physique. He was dressed in a well-fitted suit. His short hair was groomed, making him look young and energetic. His temperament enhanced his handsome appearance. Even
Even after Frederic left, Victor still struggled to wrap his mind around the situation. He had corrected his previous rudeness after leaving Layla's room and exchanged polite words with Frederic in a calm manner. This successfully restored his image in Frederic's eyes as he returned to be the intelligent and wise man he was known for. However, after seeing Frederic off, Victor was utterly embarrassed by his behavior earlier. He didn't just embarrass himself but also Layla and Faye. Fortunately, he managed to rectify the situation promptly, and he was thankful that he refrained from rash actions. Just thinking about it made Victor break into a cold sweat. Downing two cups of water to calm his nerves, he stood up and checked on Layla. However, upon entering the room, he was greeted with Layla's disdainful eyes and mockery. "Getting off your high horse already, Mr. Victor? "Why would someone of your noble status decide to visit my humble abode in Jeorgia? You must feel that
Surrounded by doctors and experts who were discussing fervently, Lilith's smile widened at their expressions of disbelief. She lacked confidence at first but now felt validated. She proudly said, "President Brown, you should have some knowledge of medicine. I will explain the patient's condition using medical terminology."Lilith's expression was indeed professional. After all, the advanced medical technology available today made it possible to check various aspects of a patient's condition precisely. However, Lilith's aim was to undermine Faye. No doctor would explain using obscure professional terms to someone who doesn't understand medicine, especially a patient's family. She deliberately tried to embarrass Faye, assuming she wouldn't understand.Unfortunately for her, Faye understood every word and knew even more than Lilith. After Lilith finished, Faye smiled. "Is that all? Aren't these just data displayed by medical equipment? "Anyone who can interpret the results c
