One hour later, Erin and Roman arrived at the private hospital where Alana was admitted. This private hospital was established by Alan three years ago. He'd transitioned from being a chief doctor at Liberty General Hospital to becoming the director of a private hospital.The facilities in this private hospital were of the highest international standards. It was safe to say that this hospital wasn't intended for ordinary people. It catered to individuals with a high spending capacity, elites from various industries, and even wealthy foreigners and celebrities.Alana's ward was in the VIP ward section. And so, Erin and Roman took a dedicated elevator to go upstairs. Prior to their arrival, Kyle had informed the security and elevator staff to allow Erin and Roman to enter the hospital. It was evident that this private hospital placed great emphasis on patient privacy.Even before the elevator arrived, Kyle was already waiting at the elevator entrance.Ten seconds later, the elevator d
Unexpectedly, she'd run into Sean at the hospital where she least expected it of all places.Erin quickly lowered her gaze, concealing the trace of astonishment in her eyes. Seeing the bouquet of flowers by her feet, she understood Sean's intention. He must have come to visit Alana.Applying some force, Erin pushed him away. Then, she said in a rather formal tone, "Sir, you can let go of me now. I'm fine."When Sean saw Erin's eyes, he was already somewhat mesmerized. Hearing her voice, he couldn't help but softly call, "Erin—"Erin's body stiffened, but Sean still held onto her. Her tone indicated that she was getting annoyed. "Sir, please let go of me!"Her gaze turned cold, and in an instant, Sean released her, but he could still feel her warmth on his palms. He felt a bit embarrassed as he said, "I'm sorry ... Your eyes and your voice really resemble a friend of mine."A faint gleam shimmered in Erin's slightly lowered eyes. Her heart palpitated violently. In the hospital roo
Chandler's words stirred up ambivalent emotions in Erin's heart. A voice in her head kept urging her to reveal the truth to him. She wanted to tell him that she was indeed Erin very badly!But as soon as she thought about her current appearance and the fact that Alana was already pregnant, her heart sank. Even if Alana wasn't in the picture, could she still resume her relationship with Chandler?Every time she thought about Chandler returning to Coandria to enter into a fake marriage, it made her blood boil without fail. Not to mention there were also Tessa and Jack, who had almost succeeded in ruining her entire life. Tessa sought revenge because of Chandler's rejection and the humiliation she suffered due to his merciless words.A butterfly effect ensued, borne of Tessa's immense hatred, and Erin was unfortunately caught up in it, ultimately made to suffer hardships inconceivable to the average Joe.Even though she was starting anew now, she couldn't forget those painful experien
The next morning, Erin woke up with enthusiasm. She went to the kitchen downstairs to prepare breakfast and planned to go to the supermarket to buy her mother's favorite food.Roman had already returned to the set to continue filming. He initially wanted to take more days off to accompany Erin to visit Cherry, but Erin politely declined, saying that she felt guilty about keeping him away from his work.Since she refused, Roman didn't insist and went back to filming. However, Erin agreed to his request to stay at his house. After all, it was close to Chandler's villa, and it would be very convenient for her to go over and teach Asa in the future. In the event something happened to Asa, she would be able to rush over and help out.Half an hour later, Erin set off for the supermarket. She drove Roman's car, a white BMW 7 Series. It had been seven years since she drove in the city and the many new roads were unfamiliar to her. Although there was a navigation system installed in the car,
After Simon apologized, he was ready to leave. He wanted to continue talking to Erin, but he didn't have a good reason to stay. He wanted to ask for her phone number but couldn't bring himself to ask. Finally, before leaving, Simon gave his business card to Erin, saying that she could contact him if she ever needed any legal advice.After accepting the business card, Erin went into the supermarket to buy groceries. Today, she was going to visit her mother, Cherry....Half an hour later, Erin drove to the suburbs with a big bag of fresh ingredients she bought from the supermarket. When Erin arrived at the villa where Cherry lived, it was almost noon.As soon as she walked in, she saw a variety of vegetables planted in the yard. She could tell that her mother was living a tranquil and fulfilling life. Cherry had already returned from her hometown yesterday morning.Last night, Erin had called Cherry in advance, pretending to be an elementary school classmate who wished to visit her
"Why is he here?" Erin screamed wordlessly. Her heart skipped a beat, and she cursed her own bad luck! She would be meeting her ex-husband—no, scratch that—her brother-in-law!Just as Erin was feeling a flurry of complex emotions, Ian and Cherry had already walked into the living room together. Ian wore a dark gray suit with a maroon shirt underneath. He wore an elegant black tie made him look very stylish and put together.His thick hair was styled handsomely, with each strand seemingly meticulously designed. His appearance was not much different from before; he still looked youthful, elegant, and dashing. His skin appeared even more refined and pleasing to the eye, indicating that he had become more particular about his appearance after becoming a billionaire. Moreover, from his appearance, it was evident that he'd started working out and had improved his physique."Mom, you have a guest?" A hint of surprise flashed across Ian's eyes when he saw Erin.Cherry smiled and introduced
Erin's question made Ian smile coldly. "Don't worry, I won't let these people off the hook. I'll report them to the police and get them all arrested."With just two simple sentences, he made his intentions clear, and only then did Erin breathe a sigh of relief. "I almost thought you didn't catch on—"Ian glanced at her from the side. "Miss Eastwood, you think too simply of me.""I can only blame it on your superior acting skills. I really thought you were one of those clueless rich guys."He snorted unamusedly and explained, "These people are driven by money. I gave them some money to appeal to them first, making them believe that they can make a good profit from the repair cost later. This way, they won't have any ill intentions toward your BMW. Not everyone will choose to commit crimes when they can easily earn money through deception and avoid unnecessary trouble."Erin had to hand it to him. "That was handled well, Mr. Sloan. I was quite confused earlier."Ian smiled charming
When Erin saw her son with her own eyes, she stopped herself from rushing upstairs to hug him with all her might. It had been a whole seven years!It was not only Erin who had been absent from Asa's life throughout those six years, but Asa had also been absent from her life as well. She could have witnessed her son growing up, but she didn't.From the depths of her soul, Erin hated the already deceased Tessa and Jack. Her life had become irreparable because of those two beasts. Now, she could only turn the countless grievances in her heart into her motivation to cherish the present even more.With teary eyes, Erin looked at Asa walking down the steps, his handsome little face resembling Chandler's. As he passed by Erin, he merely glanced at her curiously.Soon, Asa was right in front of Chandler. He said cheerfully, "Daddy, I came to see if your face is really glowing!"His little hand touched Chandler's intentionally lowered face, and Chandler lightly smiled as he patted Asa's he
