Lightly raising her arms, she brought them, along with the glass, around John’s neck. The woman, who was fawning to the extreme over him, raised her head. Within her line of sight was his face, cold as an iceberg but looking heroic. That face! She liked it so much…Her voluptuous red lips inched closer, but at the last minute, he turned his head away to avoid it. With that movement, the glass in Becky’s hand fell with a thud. It rolled on the thick carpet to the wall while she shook like a leaf in the wind. “Why?” John’s face was turned to the side. The lines on his face were cold, and his dark eyes fixed on the floating curtain in front of the window as if it could pull the both of them into a bottomless pool…“It’s late, you should get back and rest.”“John, what’s wrong? You…” ‘Don’t you want me?’The words nearly came out of her mouth. She was a lady and needed to know how to behave. In the face of his unwavering rejection, however, she nearly lost her composure…Her h
This again… Could this woman not live a day without talking about divorce?He originally felt guilty that she had seen them, so when she ran out like crazy, he abandoned everything and chased after her. Yet, now, the more he listened, the more he became irritated and frustrated. Finally, he yelled without meaning to, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just get a divorce so simply?” Hearing him speak like an *sshole made Natalie angry too. “Well, what do you want then? Enjoy the blessings of everyone?”She looked at him with a sneer, her eyes damp and dark with mist. “Don’t be too slutty. If you remain this way, you’ll… Lose the person you like sooner or later.” Lose the person he liked? What did she know? How could she know who he liked? Emotions already at peak level, the man’s eyes darkened as he yanked the woman into his arms. As his arms circled her waist, the man locked eyes with her as if he wanted to verify something. All of a sudden, his cold lips
Why did she wish he would continue?Even if she unknowingly started to have feelings for him, how could she still feel happy after being harassed this way?Who would do things that would make themselves unhappy?She still tried to struggle fiercely even if this person grew more excited from her refusal. “Who’s asking you to continue?! Let go of me, let me go…”Perhaps due to his sadistic nature, John was getting more aroused when she struggled to get off of him.However, the excitement was mixed with a complexity he could not understand…He felt as if he was addicted to touching Natalie, and his body would react uncontrollably.He barely felt anything when Becky tried tempting him earlier on, but when he laid his eyes on Natalie and merely heard her voice, he could feel the blood rushing in his body.The urge of wanting her was getting stronger. Even if he knew that he had no place in her heart and she would always want to escape every time he was nearby, but…Even though she
Natalie was half curled up on the bed…The lights were off, and it was nighttime. The only sound that could be heard were the cries in her heart. She should not have been this affected by it, but why were the tears unstoppable?Ah…She knew why! Perhaps, her heart had failed her once more? Perhaps it was because she had fallen for another wrong man?Did she always have such a bad taste?The relationship with Luke was already a lifetime’s worth of damage. Now, she could add John to that list. What a miserable life!However, it seemed that she still cared! Especially when she saw him with Becky…She refused to think about it much longer and decided to wrap herself inside the quilt. She originally wanted to relieve the coldness inside her heart, but she was so exhausted that she fell asleep unconsciously.When John came out of the bathroom, the first thing he saw was her ignorant, harmless, and innocent sleeping face.She was so stubborn when awake, but she looked like a child wh
Half an hour later, Molly went out and returned to the room…The kid initially left empty-handed, yet she had John’s bank card in her hand when she came back.While placing the card into her bag, Becky gave her daughter a gentle hug again. “It seems like Molly truly is Mommy’s precious daughter!”“Yeah! Molly likes Mommy the most.”“Then, you can’t let Daddy know about us taking his card, okay?”Molly was thoroughly in cloud nine from her mother’s gentle treatment. “Yes! Molly won’t tell him…”“Such a good kid!”She coaxed her as she smiled. Although no matter how gentle her expression was, there was no sincerity in her smile…A woman like Natalie had the nerve to steal a man from her!Hah! What a joke!Natalie would soon find out how miserable one would be if they were to go against Becky…——After a night of deep sleep, Natalie continued dreaming past the break of day…There were uncountable good dreams, nightmares, and even unrecallable dreams. It was not until she sudd
The privilege of having a beautiful face was that she had successfully persuaded a motorcyclist to give her a ride to the hotel.When Natalie rushed into the elevator, it was exactly 11 o’clock.Even though it was still a bit too late, the surgery had been postponed until an hour later, so she was considered right on time.She rushed upstairs while panting. When she saw Sean, she said to him anxiously, “Dr. Quinton, how is it? Are the specialists here?”He shook his head. Sean’s expression was gloomy. “But I received a call earlier. It was the person who picked them up. It seems that they mistakenly regarded them as specialists who were supposed to go to a certain skin hospital in the suburbs.”“How did they make such a mistake?”The error was completely unheard of. Even if that person did not know the faces of the people they were supposed to pick up, it was impossible to mess their names up, right?How could they pick up the wrong team? Furthermore, they went all the way to th
Since his hospital was adjacent to hers, Luke rushed over after receiving the call. To ensure the operation’s success rate, he even brought another thoracic surgeon who cooperated best with him.With this, the operation, which was postponed for two hours, had finally officially started.Even with both Luke and Sean’s help, an organ transplant was a difficult operation, so it went on for a very long time. Fortunately, they were indeed experts in thoracic surgery, so they both bought a lot of time for each other during the operation.Then, Luke surprisingly went on to assist Sean after only resting for a short time once he was done with the procuring surgery in Operating Room One.After an unsuccessful day leading up to the operation, it went on from day until nightfall. When it was finally completed, all the surgical staff, including Natalie, were exhausted. Fortunately, everyone’s efforts were not in vain…The operation was very successful. As long as there was no excessive orga
What did he mean by he had seen her at her ugliest, so there was no need to mind?Their relationship was never about being mindful of appearance and embarrassment at all.At this time, she knew that she needed to push him away. But, his embrace and the smell of coffee still lingering on him…Natalie’s already red, and swollen eyes were suddenly covered with tears.She should not be yearning for his gentleness. But, she no longer had the ‘strength’ to free herself from his arms. She leaned inside his embrace softly as she cried and her shoulders were trembling…Even if the surgery was over, the feeling of fear did not dissipate so quickly.She was still scared and needed someone to hold her tightly, just like he was doing now. However, the tighter his hugs were, the more she felt pitiful about herself…Why did she not have a ‘person’ of her own? Why, why did she always have to share with others?It was the same thing with Luke back then. Now, John was exactly similar, as well. A
