Charlie, in a frenzy, lunged towards Shawn, but was intercepted by the rushing bodyguards.
They held Charlie back, keeping him at a distance, and restrained him with his limbs bound.
Luke pushed Shawn closer to Charlie, and as their eyes met, it felt like a boat quietly passing through countless mountains.
Once friends, companions, and confidants in their youth, now reduced to calculating against each other.
"Mr. Charlie, this is the last time I address you as Mr. Charlie," Luke sighed. "When you came, Mr. Tate instructed that if you didn't mention this matter to your wife, he would spare you for old times' sake. But if you did, don't blame Mr. Tate for being ruthless."
Who was Shawn? A man who crawled out of a pile of corpses, licking blood off his lips.
Did Charlie naively think he could control them?
"Charlie, you can go and tell Mrs. Tate about Mr. Tate's identity. If she knows the truth, at most, she'll ignore Mr. Tate for a few
Tanya, feeling helpless and annoyed with Charlie, could only pretend to be obedient since Mr. Vandergald had spoken, "Mr. Vandergald, please wait for me here. I'll be back shortly." After saying this, she glared at Charlie, turned, and walked out of the ward.Charlie also walked out to handle Professor Smith's matter. Having followed Shawn for many years, he knew his character well. Despite his current disability, he could still be a formidable opponent when angered."Charlie!" Tanya, seeing him rudely passing by, remembered the recent incident. She rushed to him, "Stop!"He was a head taller than her and looked down at her disdainfully, "What is it?"In the next moment, this arrogant woman grabbed his tie and pulled his head down, "I warn you, don't expect respect from me in the hospital. We're colleagues, not subordinates. You're not qualified to give orders to me!"Charlie chuckled, "Dr. Potts, you’re climbing to your current position in j
Several times, Ivy almost reached out to support him, but looking at Shawn's determined gaze, she held back her instinct. The moment she held onto him, tears burst out uncontrollably. Almost instinctively, she hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest. "Okay, the next time it takes half a month to stand up again," Shawn self-deprecatingly muttered from above. Ivy lifted her head, tears glistening in her eyes, "It's already very good. How long have you been practicing?" "As long as you've been away from me," he replied. Ivy suddenly felt guilty, realizing that she had been neglecting him during this period. She apologized, "I'm sorry, I'll make sure to spend more time with you in the future." Shawn raised an eyebrow. Previously, she seemed assertive, treating him as just one of her many patients. Now, seeing her feeling guilty, the long-term emptiness in his heart seemed to be filled. "Then I forgive you," Shawn said, embracing her again, his heavy palm gently caressing h
Shawn fell silent.Dom's mouth twitched, a look of speechlessness on his face.The old man was playing the innocent card quite convincingly."Really, Grandpa? Haven't you met Mr. Cato Alter before?" Shawn, feeling helpless, found the lie too unreliable. How could he tell such a blatant falsehood?"No, never." Andy chuckled awkwardly. "Usually, Dom goes for me. I'm not in good health, so I avoid the trouble. Let the young people handle it."Shawn gave Dom a meaningful look, silently laughing inside.The day Shawn's identity was revealed, Dom turned out to be quite a useful shield."Since we're all gathered outside, let's go in and rest." Emma smiled, interrupting the awkward exchange, leading everyone into the house.Emma took Uncle Jim to attend to their duties. Ivy sat on the couch, reviewing patient records on her laptop. The other four grown men sat around, stuck in an uncomfortable situation."Mr. Luke, you're Shawn'
Dom regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. This was because he clearly saw the amusement in Emma's eyes and a dark figure lurking in the corner.‘Unbelievable! Why did I have to encounter this family!’"Alright, alright, not many, just a few, three to be precise," Emma reassured him with a smile. "You're used to handling big occasions; you can handle this.""Three?" Dom was dumbfounded. "One at a time? Please... If news gets out that I have three blind date at a time, my reputation will be ruined."Emma gently smiled at him, "Don't worry, Shawn's three female colleagues are all from wealthy families, gentle and elegant.""I don't like gentle and elegant," Dom muttered silently. As he saw the dark figure leaving at the door, he suddenly looked at Emma, "Do you have other daughters?""Huh?!" Emma was stunned, smiling with curved eyes. "If I had, I would want her to marry you. These years, with my
Ivy was chatting with her grandfather. Feeling a sudden chill down her back, she turned instinctively to see Shawn speaking with his assistant with a dark expression. "What's wrong?" Ivy walked up to Shawn, softly asking. Shawn let go of the deep frown on his face and smiled at her. "Nothing. Just now, Luke told me a ghost story, but he told it poorly, so it didn't work. A waste of a ghost story, so I'm not very happy." Luke raised an eyebrow on the side, echoing, "Look at my clumsy mouth." That Catherine, was she just a ghost story? "You guys go ahead; I'll go chat with Grandpa." Knowing that her boss and madam had something to discuss, Luke obediently left. Ivy poured a glass of water for Shawn, noticing the lingering gloom in his eyes. She asked, "What happened, really?" Shawn gently held Ivy's hand and played with it. After a while, he explained the ordeal of the Jones family in Northern Myanmar. Ivy took a while to come back to her senses after hearing it all. "So, only
Andy felt like a scumbag now. He used to be a scumbag towards Ivy's grandmother, and now he's being a scumbag to two young boys.This relationship issue is really complicated."After this, don't introduce anyone to him anymore. It's useless." Andy sighed, turned, and went back to his room to rest.On this cruise ship, only Ivy seemed unaware of what had happened.She kept pestering Shawn to tell her, but as soon as she asked this question, the man turned hostile."In the future, you're not allowed to be alone with Dom anymore!" he reminded her before disembarking the ship.Ivy found it strange, "Why? He's my brother!""He doesn't see you as a sister," Shawn's voice was displeased.Ivy blinked, laughed, "Who told you? Uncle Jim? I don't know why, but he always wants to return H Capital to me. He doesn’t see me as his family.""You!" Shawn was infuriated!This woman, why is she so clueless?"Shawn, what's wrong with you?" Ivy looked at him innocently, "Are you upset again?!""In your ey
The assistant in front raised an eyebrow.Quite audacious, daring to flaunt in their hotel. Didn't they know the Garden Hotel is a global brand and a six-star hotel under DT Investment?"I need you to be there in thirty minutes, or else..."Shawn quickly hung up the phone.He took some time to calm his emotions, then waved for Ivy to come over.The person who had been standing at the door jumped up at his call, joyfully and spryly running towards him.Bouncing like a little fox, she no longer resembled the doctor who faced patients at the hospital.Shawn clearly felt that his Ivy had changed.There was a subtle change, no longer constrained, no longer serious, as if she had a hint of the appearance of someone in love.Shawn was very satisfied with this slight change, so he had to go and completely resolve the matter with Catherine. He hoped Ivy could have more moments like today."Do you want to go in with me?" She leaned against the car window, revealing white teeth with a blushing f
Ivy knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. Worried that something might have happened to Catherine inside, she called a hotel staff member.The Garden Hotel was under Shawn's jurisdiction, and although the staff didn't know Ivy's identity, they had received instructions from higher-ups. The seemingly ordinary woman in plaid clothes and canvas shoes was, in fact, a significant figure.“Miss Lambert has already left," the female staff member said, wearing a smile but with clear disdain in her eyes. "She has returned to England. If I'm not mistaken, she should be on a plane right now," the female staff member added when she saw Ivy preparing to make a call.Hearing this, Ivy paused for a moment and then silently put her phone back in her pocket.It seemed she would have to wait a few hours before trying again.Thinking about it, she sent Catherine a message, reminding her to let her know she was safe after landing.As soon as Assistant Luke had the IT colleague open Ca
