Jenny nodded silently. She knew that her boss' threat was just a joke, but she dared not laugh out loud. Honestly, she felt sorry for her boss.It seemed Old Smoker really had a way of provoking her boss. Suddenly, Jenny felt somewhat delighted at her boss' predicament. It turned out that besides Chandler and Erin, there was someone else whom Paulo was helpless against....Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Erin and Chandler stayed in the same hospital room for three days. On the third day, she was discharged.During those three days, whether it was lunch or dinner, Asa came to the hospital to eat with them. Erin felt immensely contented about that.Nevertheless, her injuries weren't as severe as Chandler's. He'd injured his tendons, while the wound on her knee was superficial. Therefore, she was given the option to go home and rest. To prevent Asa from continuously coming to the hospital to visit her, Erin insisted on being discharged.During these
The words Erin and the others had just said in the car were all heard by a man who was situated in a towering building that almost reached clouds. At the moment, the man had an earpiece in his ear as he sat on the topmost floor of an office in a building situated within the Durbaine Marina.Right after Erin blurted the line, "Just think about it. What if Old Smoker is really an old man, and he's unable to perform in the bedroom? I guess I'll dodge a bullet when that happens!" the man spewed the mouthful of pasta he'd been eating.With a dark expression on his face, the man reached for a tissue box on the transparent desk but then gave up on it, finding it lacking in finesse. Instead, he pulled out a clean handkerchief with a checkered pattern from his suit pocket and casually wiped his mouth before tossing it into a nearby handmade woven basket.The bull terrier beside him lifted its head and looked at its owner. The man glanced down at his dog and said, "General, that brat, Paulo,
Erin said nothing when she heard the opinion Paulo had about Ian. She just smiled in a sad way. Thinking of the fact that Ian was her ex-husband, she felt life was truly an experience—there was no way for her to dodge both the good and the bad that she was meant to encounter."Go ahead and enjoy your drinks, you guys. I'm going to head upstairs. I promised the editor I'll start drawing the comics tomorrow, and I can't go back on my word."Erin no longer needed a wheelchair anymore, and she was walking, taking one step after another slowly. Fortunately, Roman's villa had an elevator. Even if she was only going up to the second floor, she could slack off for a moment.Roman had already stood up, wanting to go help her. Seeing his actions, Erin said, "Roman, don't mind me. I'm fine. It's not a fracture. It's just a superficial injury.""Do you really not need help?" he asked.Erin smiled. "It's not the first time both of you saw me get injured. Am I that useless?"She initially want
Erin immediately rejected him, "No need! Just … help me up. My legs were numb just now, but they're feeling better …"Chandler was clearly asking her just for formality's sake. He still picked her up so easily it was as if he was just carrying a young girl. However, he still looked like he was straining a little. After all, his right arm was still injured."Chandler, you don't have to be a hero. I'm really fine … " Erin was so scared that she hugged Chandler's neck tightly, fearing that she would fall off.Seeing that she looked so resistive, he did not insist anymore. He first put her uninjured leg gently on the floor, waiting for her to get her footing stable before helping her to stand up straight.Erin immediately started to frantically straighten up the bathrobe and towel on her while Chandler, very gentlemanly, turned his back to her. Seeing that he turned around, Erin immediately took off the towel under the bathrobe, then put the bathrobe on in a hurry.There were already
Chandler was in so much pain that he dropped to his knees, shouting at the top of his lungs at the night sky outside the window. "Erin …"Erin was already in bed, but a sorrowful and hopeless roar made her open her eyes all of a sudden. Why did she seem to have heard someone calling her name?Erin listened carefully for a while, but she no longer heard the voice, so she closed her eyes and continued sleeping. She had to wake up early the following day to draw her comics, so she slept soundly.…It was pitch black in Chandler's study at 4 am. He was afraid to see any lights, even if it was just the faint lights from the stairs.He cowered in the corner, hugging his knees. His right arm was already bleeding, but it was as if he could not feel pain at all. He had thrown himself into the abyss.He had only taken a glance at the photo Pax sent him, but he could immediately recognize the completely disfigured Erin.After he cried so hard that his voice turned completely hoarse, he put
Chandler's eyes were bloodshot as he had his back facing Erin. When he heard Erin's voice once again, tears streamed down his face, dripping onto the pillow. His heart had been broken countless times, and he gritted his teeth to stop himself from crying out loud.He must be extremely stupid to not have recognized the woman he loved the most!His heart was aching so much that he felt numb, which was why he did not feel a thing in his injured hand and leg.Erin had a completely new face at that moment. Chandler did not witness everything she had been through, but he felt a great pain just by imagining it. As the man she loved the most, he actually was not by her side, going through that mentally and physically torturous time together with her. Chandler was so dispirited that he almost had the intent to end his life. He could not forgive himself!However, when he learned that Pamela was Erin, he felt resentful as he felt that he was cheated.Roman knew, and so did Paulo, but Chandl
After Erin walked out of the ward, Kyle immediately came up to her. She looked up at him and said, "Mr. Morn, hurry up and get the doctor. The president of your company has agreed to receive treatments."Kyle immediately shook her hand, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Ms. Eastwood! I thank you on behalf of the chairman of my company!"She chuckled. "Don't mention it. Mr. Frost is Asa's father. As Asa's teacher, I can't just sit idly by and do nothing.""Yes, yes, you're right, Ms. Eastwood!"Seeing how exactly Kyle was, Erin shrugged and said, "I'll get going now. Your boss really likes to hide what he really feels …"Kyle saw her off with a big smile.After Erin disappeared from the corridor, Kyle entered the ward and told Chandler all about his conversation with Erin at that door earlier.At that moment, Chandler had regained his motivation to fight. The thought that he still had hope for getting Erin back just filled him with strength!"Come over, Kyle. I have something to te
Erin was defeated by Chandler's focused and meaningful gaze in the end. With her cheeks slightly flushed, she looked down and said, "I need some time to think about moving into the villa."He deliberately said, "Whatever you say. You can take however long you want … But if you can move in sooner, you and Asa can say goodnight to each other every night and have breakfast together every morning. It'll be very convenient for both of you to meet each other."Erin was very tempted, even her hands looked like they were filled with anticipation at that moment.Chandler truly felt jealous of his son. Asa did not even need to be physically present, just his name alone could attract Erin's attention. Chandler had been looking at her affectionately for so long, but she would rather turn her gaze to the floor than look at him. The journey to win his wife back was going to be a long one …"Mr. Frost—"As soon as she said that, Chandler frowned a little and said, "Ms. Pamela, if you really can'
