At Zoe’s answer, the expression on the nurse’s face stiffened for a moment, and then she revealed a strange smile.So, they had that kind of relationship.The nurse’s gaze when she looked at Zoe became disdainful.She thought that Zoe and Kyle were siblings. It turned out that Zoe was just a woman that Kyle was keeping...Oh, it was very likely that she was a mistress!“Ow! It hurts!”Zoe suddenly covered her head, looking at the nurse with a pained expression.The nurse changed her tone from the previous gentle one and looked at Zoe coldly. “You’re so dramatic. Of course it’ll hurt when applying medication. Just bear with it.”She spoke while continuing to change Zoe’s bandages, her movements noticeably rougher than before.Although Zoe had low intelligence, she was not foolish. She could tell that the nurse’s eyes were different from before. It was a little hostile. She bit her lip, not daring to cry out again.She lowered her head and looked at Kyle’s profile picture. “Ky.
He originally had an early morning flight back to Monafett. The plane would touchdown at 7 PM, so he could go to the hospital to have dinner with Zoe.However, he received a call from home on the way to the airport, so he had to return home at the last minute, delaying him for half a day.After getting off the plane, Kyle turned on his phone, and notifications flooded in.He opened it to find over a dozen messages sent by Zoe.“Ky, good morning. When are you coming back today?”“Ky, are you coming back to have lunch with me?”“Ky, why aren’t you replying to my messages?”“Ky, why aren’t you back yet? I miss you...”“Ky...”Kyle listened to the voice messages from Zoe. From morning until evening, her tone changed from anticipation to disappointment. The last voice message even had a hint of sobbing.She must be feeling wronged that he lied to her.The driver who came to pick Kyle up at the airport asked, “Sir, are we going back to the villa?”Kyle turned off his phone and sa
Kyle saw her limping toward him and quickly stepped forward to embrace her before she could reach him.Zoe held onto his hand tightly, bursting into tears. “Ky... Don’t dump me... I’ll be a good girl and take my medicine... I’ll sleep well. Don’t abandon me... Ky...”Kyle frowned. Did she think he did not want her because did not reply to her messages?“I won’t dump you, Zoe.”Zoe latched onto him like an octopus, crying so hard she gasped for breath. “You didn’t reply to my messages... You said you’d come back today, but it’s already twelve, and you still didn’t come back... I wanted to call you, but my phone is broken...”She became sadder the more she spoke, “I wanted to find you, but...but I didn’t know where you are... I hate this place. It’s full of stairs... I kept walking and walking...”Zoe had stayed here for nearly a month and had only gone downstairs twice. When she ran out earlier, she forgot about the elevator and went toward the stairs when she saw it, descending f
Soon, the doctor arrived.Kyle temporarily set the matter aside and let the doctor examine Zoe....Zoe’s sprained ankle did not affect the bone, so after applying medication for bruises, she just needed a few days of rest to recover.As for the injury on her head, the doctor found that a part of the wound had reopened. Fortunately, it was not severe, and would recover in a few days after reapplying medication and bandaging.After the examinations and treatments, it was almost dawn.Kyle stopped the doctor who was about to leave and said flatly, “Have all the nurses who entered this room yesterday wait for me in the office.”The doctor was stunned for a moment before nodding nervously. “Yes, Mr. Goodman.”“Ky...”Zoe lay in bed, never letting go of Kyle. She always held on to either his hand or his clothes.Kyle sat on the chair beside the bed, held her hand, and tucked it under the blanket. “Does your head still hurt?”“No.”He picked up the phone on the bedside table and
Faced with Kyle’s chilling gaze, the younger nurse could not hold back and began to explain with a trembling voice.“Mr. Goodman, I... I didn’t mean to. I was changing Ms. White’s dressings, but she didn’t want to cooperate and even threw things at me. I accidentally bumped into her when I dodged, but I didn’t expect her to fall off the bed...”Kyle crossed his legs, his bony fingers tapping on the couch armrest occasionally, and said in a neutral tone, “Zoe has always been obedient. She wouldn’t have refused to cooperate if you didn’t make her angry, let alone throw stuff at you.”The nurse lowered her head and tried to explain. “I... I was just chatting casually with Ms. White. I didn’t expect that my words would upset her...”“So, you’re saying that it’s Zoe’s fault?”“No... That’s not what I meant...”The nurse quickly raised her head but saw Kyle’s sharp and irritated gaze, his body exuding a sinister aura.She stiffened and felt an overwhelming pressure, quickly apologizin
Zoe happily took the cup. “Thank you, Ky.”It was almost noon by now, and Kyle had lunch brought in so he could eat with her.When eating, Kyle said, “After lunch, you have to undergo an examination.”Zoe instantly became unhappy. “Can I not, Ky? I don’t hurt anymore.”“No.”Zoe pouted, feeling aggrieved.During her hospital stay, she had to undergo examinations every few days which often involved having her blood taken. She was afraid of pain.Kyle looked at her and felt amused.She had always been afraid of pain, and it seemed she became even more so after losing her memory. Even getting an injection would make her cry.Kyle coaxed her patiently. “Be good. This is the last examination. If the results are fine, you can be discharged.”Zoe’s eyes instantly lit up. “I can finally be discharged!”She looked at Kyle. “Ky, can I live with you after being discharged?”Kyle stared at her, his gaze unfathomable. “Do you want to stay with me?”“Uh-huh.”Kyle smiled and picked up
After a while, Kyle saw her face turn red from holding her breath and finally let go of her.“Phew—”Zoe took a deep breath after finally being able to breathe, her chest heaving.Kyle licked his lips and gently stroked her head. “How sweet.”Zoe pouted her moist and pink lips and looked at him innocently. “I thought you were gonna eat me, Ky.”Kyle held her slender hand and said in a teasing tone, “Not yet.”Her body had not fully recovered and could not endure much.Zoe’s eyes were filled with confusion, not understanding what he meant.Then, he said, “You must get better quickly, understand?”“Okay!” Zoe also wanted to recover quickly so she could be with Kyle forever....The next day, all of Zoe’s examination results came out. Everything was normal, so she could be discharged.In the afternoon, Kyle processed the discharge procedures for her and brought her back to his villa in Monafett.As soon as Zoe got out of the car, she held his hand anxiously and looked around.
“Zoe!”Zoe was sitting on the bed and cried even harder when she saw Kyle enter. “Ky... Help me... I’m bleeding so much...”Kyle strode over. “What happened? Where are you bleeding?”Zoe threw herself into Kyle’s arms and pointed between her legs. “I didn’t do anything, but I suddenly started to bleed. There’s so much blood... Am I going to die?”Kyle looked down, and his expression instantly darkened.Zoe had just taken a shower and was wearing a thin T-shirt that barely covered her thighs. At that moment, there was a trace of blood on her fair legs.He picked her up and found a glaring red stain on the bedsheets under her butt...Zoe clung to his clothes and sobbed. “Ky, I’m scared...”Kyle secretly sighed in relief and carried her to the bathroom. “Don’t be scared. This is a normal phenomenon. Every girl will experience this. It’s okay...”Zoe opened her mouth, her eyes filled with tears and shock. “Really? So I won’t die?”Kyle kissed her forehead and assured her. “You wo
“Arthur proposed to Tracey?!”In the afternoon, Tracey posted several photos of her and Arthur in a hot air balloon. In one of the photos, she held a bouquet with a dazzling ring on her ring finger.[Yes, I do.]That was the caption.Blair hugged Mable and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say they’ll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.”“That’s great!”Mable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, “Do they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.”Blair said, “We can call Trace and ask.”Mable looked at the time. It was midnight in Monafett, and she did not want to disturb them by calling at this hour. She smiled and said, “I’ll call her tomorrow.”Getting two good news in a row today made Mable feel particularly good. After dinner, she could not help but want to drink some wine to celebrate.Blair had not drunk for a long time, either. Seeing her in high spirits,
Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be
Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the
At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
“I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an
As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w
Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
