Jeremy looked at the clock. While waiting for Fabian's arrival, Jeremy observed Madeline. He noticed Madeline gradually lay on the bed on her side, half curling her body with her back facing him.Jeremy, noticing Madeline’s discomfort, truly wanted to rush in, but was afraid he might set her off again.Besides, Evan came in earlier to notify him that Fabian would be arriving soon.In no time, Fabian indeed arrived.With a cool expression, Fabian briefly met Jeremy's eyes, then lifted his hand and handed the anti-toxoid test reagent to Jeremy."Take it."Jeremy felt relieved the moment he saw the anti-toxoid test reagent.Although it would not be able to completely eliminate the poison in Madeline's body, at the very least, it could help stabilize her condition.Jeremy took it, then looked at Fabian and conveyed his gratitude, "Thanks."Fabian did not speak. It was Evan who kindly asked, "Do you need my help?""Mr. Whitman is already very used to carrying out injection procedu
Madeline did not find Fabian to be unfamiliar because ever since her arrival there, she had seen Fabian and Evan the most.She could tell that Fabian intended to block the entrance, but she had no means of retreating.The moment she took a step forward, her wrist was yanked by Jeremy who came rushing over behind her."Believe me, Linnie. I'm not lying to you. You're really sick. Once you've taken this injection, you'll know that I'm not lying to you."Jeremy emphasized sincerely, hoping that Madeline would believe him.However, Madeline only wanted to free herself from his grip. "It's impossible for me to have faith in you again, Jeremy. I no longer have feelings for you!""Linnie.""All of you, get away. Even if I were to die, I'll not die in any of your hands."Madeline desperately struggled to loosen Jeremy’s grip, intending to push Fabian aside and rushed out after that.Fabian, however, was less merciful than Jeremy as Fabian grabbed Madeline's arm in a domineering manner
Evan looked at Jeremy's back as Jeremy left in a hurry, and Evan felt puzzled. "Fab, what did Jeremy inject her with earlier? Why does it seem more effective than a sedative? Would Eveline be able to recover with this single injection?"Fabian glimpsed at Jeremy's outline as Jeremy got further away, then frowned. "Recover? If it's anything like that from last time, I don’t think it’d be that easy to completely recover.""Anything like that from last time?" This piqued Evan’s curiosity again.However, Fabian dared not continue. He no longer wished to mention the unpleasant thing Lana had done in the past.Jeremy had previously rushed throughout the night without settling down. Currently, he rented a room in a hotel nearby.When he was renting a room, the customer service lady, at the sight of the unconscious Madeline in Jeremy’s hands, had thought that Jeremy had ill intentions toward Madeline until Jeremy presented a photo of his and Madeline’s marriage certificate. The customer s
Cathy spun around when she heard the commotion, and saw Shirley gracelessly falling onto the ground. The wheelchair beside Shirley was turned over, and she was lying flat on the ground, unable to get up.Upon seeing the situation, Cathy quickly spun around and headed over.She squatted to help Shirley up, but Shirley rejected Cathy, shoving Cathy’s hand."I don't need your pity!" Shirley bit on her lips, eyes agleam with self-deprecation. "Adam must be overjoyed to see me in such a state, isn’t he? He could restore my appearance, yet he’s unwilling to perform the surgery on me! The same goes for you as well."Shirley, fists clenched, glanced at Cathy."You don’t intend to help me at all. You're just forced to take care of a useless person like me because of Adam!""You know that you're forcing this on others, then?" Adam suddenly walked in through the door.Shirley briefly paused, before letting out a cold chuckle."Hehe. Adam, you’re finally speaking your mind. You’ve never th
“Adam, come over and give me a hand."Adam understood Cathy's meaning, but in fact, he had already intended to help.However, Shirley was aware that Cathy and Adam were trying to help her up at the moment, but she pretended to be deep in thought, silently accepting Adam and Cathy's kind intention.The sun began to set for the evening.Adam parked his car at the entrance of the most luxurious hotel in Glendale.Although it was before the time for the commencement of the wedding banquet, the entrance was already streaming with guests.Shirley was sitting at the rear seat of the car, watching the guests going into the main entrance. She was familiar with many people there, actually.Carter's wedding ceremony was a grand one. A day before the wedding, the net was bombarded with the news of his wedding.The honorable viscount of St. Piaf was about to get married, and it attracted the attention of many.Additionally, once Carter's daily life photos were posted on the net, it immedia
Cathy remembered that she had seen the bride’s name on the wedding invitation card, but it did not strike her as familiar, and she believed that she did not know the bride.Cathy shook her head. "No idea.”"Hmph. Of course, you wouldn't know."Shirley smiled, seemingly talking to herself."She's considered a childhood sweetheart of Carter's, but he has always hated this woman, so much so that he had even used Eveline as a shield to rid himself of her."Speaking of Carter’s engagement with Madeline, Cathy knew parts of it, but she was not privy to the fact that Carter had been using Madeline to get rid of another woman.However, on that night, he was about to marry that same woman he had wanted to shake off.Cathy found it rather ridiculous.However, after considering Carter's status, she could see that there were logical reasons behind all this."Are you close to the bride?" Cathy casually asked."Not at all," Shirley answered without thinking twice, her eyes glittered scornf
Actually, Carter too had not expected himself to show up with Ada in front of his friends and relatives in such a manner.However, after considering the benefits, he had accepted Camille’s proposal.He wanted to be the heir of St. Piaf, and to do that, he would need help from Ada’s family.Similarly, Ada had assumed that she no longer had the chance to be the viscountess, nor had she expected Camille to reach out to her. Ada finally found her value. At that moment, Ada, who was walking beside Carter, felt very confident.She firmly believed that no other woman would be able to threaten her position as the viscountess.Ada put on a thrilled and victorious smile while holding a bouquet, taking one step at a time as she elegantly made her way toward the banquet hall.She tilted her head to look at Carter. On this night, he looked handsome and elegant, evoking a cool, refined aesthetic that tugged at Ada’s heartstrings. She was finally able to be Carter's wife–a dream she had sin
Cathy and Shirley sat in an unnoticeable position at a corner, but, at that moment, they saw Carter seemingly making his way toward them.Cathy looked at Shirley. Despite the latter wearing a mask, Cathy could still easily make out the uneasiness and anxiety in Shirley’s eyes.Shirley felt perturbed because of her love for Carter.If it was not for love, she would have faced him carefreely.However, in reality, she could not let go of her feelings. She was deeply in love with him, and that had led her to this day.Naturally, Shirley saw Carter walking toward her. Indeed, she felt very nervous and her palms started to drench in sweat.She dared not face Carter, but her gaze, against her volition, was attracted to him.It seemed Carter had noticed it, and his gaze also looked toward Shirley.As Shirley started to feel anxious and thought that Carter was about to look at her, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt, and he respectfully greeted an elderly.Unsure whether it was disa
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
