"Come on, let's not do this. We both know that we have had our differences in the past. Don't you think it's tiring to continue like this?" I said coolly, "We both know why I was hospitalized, and this matter is far from over."Upon hearing my words, Vicky burst out laughing as if she had heard the funniest joke ever."After everything we've been through, I thought you had finally learned something. But now it seems like you're still as foolish as ever," Vicky laughed uncontrollably."Now that rogue has been dealt with by Calvin, so what if you have him protecting you? I can still come after you easily," Vicky boasted, "Even though I hired the person, there is no physical evidence left and the witness is dead. How can you hold me responsible?"Instead of getting angry, I smiled happily at her words. Vicky looked at me with surprise. "What are you laughing at?" she asked, her expression stiff. "I wasn't laughing at anything," I said, elegantly tucking my hair behind my ear and smiling
After Vicky left, I felt much better. Even the pain from my injuries didn't feel as bad.For the past few days since my injury, I noticed that my body wasn't recovering as quickly as before, especially without the help of the wolf. Before long, I felt tired and quickly fell asleep.When I woke up again, the room was already dimly lit. As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt someone else's breath in the room and was startled when I moved and bumped into someone's arms."Awake?" the person spoke with a low, deep, and somewhat sexy voice that even in the dim light, I could recognize as MK's.Of all the people I had met, no one's voice was as pleasant to me as MK's.I couldn't help but smile and was surprised to see him. "MK, why are you here?" I asked."I just took my eyes off you for a moment and you managed to get yourself covered in injuries." MK sighed and hugged me with an expression of suppressed tenderness. "I wish I could just put you in my pocket and take you with me wherever I go."
"MK walked in after finishing his call and asked, "What are you looking at?" I handed him the photo frame and asked him in confusion, "How did you get my photo in your room?" I remembered the photo vividly; it was taken a day before my wedding, and Claude was also present, which made me look very happy and content. Even now, my lips involuntarily curl up with a smile when I look at it. I haven't smiled like that since I got married to Claude.MK's face was still masked, so I couldn't tell the guilt that flashed across his face. "Now that you belong to me entirely, what's so strange about me having your photo?" MK said dismissively.I knew I wouldn't get any answers from MK after hearing his response, so I wisely refrained from asking any more questions.It was late after dinner, so MK carried me to bed and lay down beside me, carefully protecting me in his embrace. He leaned down and kissed my red lips.I struggled
I curiously asked, "Doesn't Mrs. Brown live here?""Mrs. Brown has retired. I didn't want you to be alone at home, so I asked her to come and take care of you," MK embraced me and kissed my lips, saying.I felt MK's slightly cold lips touch mine and my face started to blush. "Actually, I can take care of myself. It's just a fracture, not a big deal."I used to feel strange when MK kissed me, but I got used to it over time. However, since MK disappeared for a few months and reappeared, I found my heart feeling strange again. My heart was beating irregularly, and I felt a little restless.To get back to normal, I changed the topic and asked, "Are you tired from work?"MK rested his head on my shoulder and said, "Yes, I'm tired, but just the thought of you waiting for me at home makes it all worth it."Seeing that MK seemed to be in the mood to talk, I calmly asked, "Are you very busy
MK lifted me up from the wheelchair, avoiding my injuries, and held me tightly in his arms. His voice was filled with uncontrollable anger and he asked coldly, "Did you call Galvin today?""Yes," I admitted directly, without any hesitation.MK snorted coldly, his breath becoming even colder as he said, "That man cares about you, and he came to me today... ...""What?" I looked at MK in surprise.MK's body stiffened, but he didn't answer my question. Instead, he said unhappily, "Nevermind, in the future, stay away from that Alpha. He must have no good intentions in getting close to you."After hearing MK's words, I fell into deep thought. My brows were furrowed tightly, and the words sounded very familiar, as if someone had once told me to stay away from Galvin. Why did Galvin come to find MK?Suddenly, I remembered. Claude had told me before that Galvin was MK, and that he was trying to use me to deal with
Is it possible that if I remember who that child is and follow the clues, I can find out Mrs. Brown's identity and then figure out who MK is? I just can't seem to remember where I've seen them before.In the evening, MK came back and prepared dinner. After we finished eating, MK held my hand and we took a walk on the beach together.As the salty sea breeze blew, I tucked my hair behind my ear and casually asked, "Today, I accidentally found Mrs. Brown's wallet. Inside, there was a photo of me and a boy, looking very close. Mrs. Brown seemed worried. Who is that child?"MK is very tight-lipped about anything related to his identity, no matter how much I try to probe. However, he is quite generous with other matters. When I expressed curiosity, he was willing to satisfy my curiosity and said, "Mrs. Brown got divorced. That child is Mrs. Brown's son, and he lives with his father."I nodded, Have I seen Mrs. Brown's son somewhere before? Who could he be? It seems like I need to think caref
"He's here." Ella nodded."Well, I'm going to talk to him about something." I pointed to Galvin's office and knocked on the door."Come in." Galvin's voice sounded cold and distant. I immediately pushed open the office door and walked in.Galvin stared at the computer screen without any expression, not even lifting his head. I hesitated, feeling like I might be disturbing him, but since I was already here and back to work today, I thought I should at least inform Galvin, as a matter of courtesy.I noticed that Galvin didn't look at me, so I had to speak up on my own. "Mr. Lu."Galvin heard my voice and his hand holding the mouse trembled. He quickly clicked a few times and relaxed when he saw that it was me. "You're back?" Galvin's gaze burned with intensity as he looked at me, still with little expression on his face. He asked, "How are you feeling? Are you better now?""Thank you for your concern, I'm better now." I smiled.There are still good people in this world. Although I've enc
As I was about to confront Vicky and get some answers, my footsteps halted and my fist clenched tightly. After the incident last time, I learned to stay calmer this time. Vicky's words were not worth believing. Regardless of whether what Vicky said was true or false, I needed to find out if my child was still in this world. I was determined to investigate it myself.I pretended to go back as if nothing happened. Galvin had already finished eating, and we left the restaurant together and returned to the company.After returning to the company, Ella immediately pulled me into the pantry. "There's something I forgot to tell you," Ella looked at me cautiously and said, "I will be taking some time off. The Hansom family is having a banquet soon, and they have also sent an invitation to Galvin. He has agreed to attend. So if I take leave, you will have to accompany Galvin."I remained silent.Ella asked me tentatively, "I
"Nat, where are you?" Mr. Eugen asked with concern.I completely forgot. I've been so focused on Spring lately that I haven't even taken a break. How could Mr. Eugen not have noticed that I've been gone for so long today?When I saw Mr. Eugen's phone call, I felt nervous. Hearing his concern for me warmed my heart and made my nose feel a bit tingly. I even felt like crying a little.
"After that day, Elsie never came to the hospital again, and I continued to accompany Spring in the hospital while Mr. Eugen still took care of her with me every day.On this day, I received a call from Novia. Seeing Novia calling me on her own initiative, I couldn't help but be surprised. I glanced at Mr. Eugen who was resting next to me, and walked outside the ward to answer the phone."Novia?" I had a slight worry in my heart when it came to Novia."Do you have time to talk?" Novia's tone was a bit impatient, and she quickly said.I looked in the direction of the ward. Spring was sleeping at the moment, and Mr. Eugen was by her side, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to leave for a while.I agreed and said, "But I'm worried about Spring. Can we meet somewhere around the hospital?"When Novia heard my suggestion, her tone suddenly became even more hostile. "Hmph, pretending to care. That child is not yours, I don't believe you really care about that child."I heard Novia's tone an
I returned home, feeling physically exhausted, but I just couldn't fall asleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Spring lying weakly in the hospital bed, waiting for a blood transfusion. After finally managing to doze off for a little while, I even dreamt of Spring crying and looking for their mother. I woke up drenched in cold sweat, unable to fall back asleep.I know something is not right with my current state. It seems like I have truly become attached to Spring. Even though I know Spring has their own mother and is not my child, I can't control my emotions and treat them as if they were my own.I glanced at the time and realized it was already afternoon. Feeling a bit hungry, I got up and made myself a bowl of instant noodles. As I looked at the steaming noodles, thoughts of Spring came flooding back. How is Spring doing now? They must be happy with their biological parents by their side, right? Despite thin
"Since you're back, just in case Spring gets confused, I'll make Spring call her Miss Natalie from now on," Mr. Eugen spoke again, a hint of pain in his eyes.Hearing his words, my eyes widened involuntarily. Does it mean that because Spring's mother is back, he won't allow Spring to call me mom anymore? I looked at Elsie sitting by the bed, watching Spring, and my lips started trembling."Spring!" I couldn't help but call out, but I was afraid of waking up Spring who was sleeping, so my voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.Elsie's lips curled up slightly, pretending to look innocent, and said, "Murphy, you really hired a good nanny this time. She has such deep affection for our Spring, I'm really happy about it." Elsie's tone was praising, and her eyes towards me were filled with admiration, as if I were just a nanny.I was taken aback and looked at Mr. Eugen. Elsie mistook me for a nanny, but what about
I walked towards the nearby sofa with a sense of disappointment and sat down. I listened as Spring called Elsie "mom," and it made me feel uneasy. Spring was just a child, and he quickly got tired after playing for a while. Elsie gently tucked him in and then sat down next to me. However, I couldn't help but notice that she was sitting a bit far away from me, whether intentionally or unintentionally."I never expected that taking care of a child could be so exhausting. You've really been through a lot these past few days," Elsie said, with a hint of playfulness in her voice. I was already quite delicate-looking, but at this moment, I looked even more adorable and pitiable.So Mr. Eugen had been involved with a woman like her before. I suppose every man would be attracted to a woman like her, right? Even if he left, he probably wouldn't easily forget her, would he?My expression couldn't help but turn unpleasant. Elsie had come back, and judging by her appearance, it seemed like she wa
I felt a warmth in my heart. Even though I appeared confident in front of Mrs. Eugen, deep down I felt a bit insecure, thinking that I didn't really deserve Mr. Eugen. But Mr. Eugen's unwavering attitude truly made me feel secure.I couldn't help but turn my head and saw Mr. Eugen smiling at me."Murphy, you are really clueless," Mrs. Eugen said with a disdainful look, disgusted by my persistence. But knowing that today was not the day for any outcome, she left in a hurry.After Mrs. Eugen left, I didn't feel relieved. My mind was still filled with Mrs. Eugen's and Novia's words. Before I could think too much, Mr. Eugen looked into my eyes earnestly and said, "Nat, don't overthink it. I like you, and if you're willing to give me a chance, I would be really happy. I love you. The luckiest thing in my life is being with you."I knew Mr. Eugen liked me, really liked me. But I couldn't ignore Mrs. Eugen's words and I co
As Mrs. Eugen walked in and saw me, a disdainful expression appeared on her face. She looked at me mockingly and said, "Miss Fowler, I thought I made it clear last time. I never expected you to still be clinging to my son."Upon hearing Mrs. Eugen's mockery, I felt a bit angry inside, but I didn't show it. I simply smiled politely and responded, "Mrs. Eugen, this is between Mr. Eugen and me. He is an adult now, and even though you are his mother, you have no right to interfere with his freedom to love."I promised myself that I would face whatever challenges came my way, so this time, I wouldn't run away."I have every right to interfere, and it's not up to you to decide. I've seen women like you, who just want to climb the social ladder," Mrs. Eugen said contemptuously. "If you have any self-respect left, you will leave immediately. We don't welcome you here.""I'm not leaving, and you don't have the power to make
"Are you two together?" Novia exclaimed incredulously.Mr. Eugen, standing beside me, admitted openly, "As you can see."I felt my body stiffen, not expecting Novia to suddenly appear. I knew Novia had feelings for Mr. Eugen, even though he had made it clear to her. The current situation made it difficult for me to avoid suspicion."Novia, I..." I tried to explain, but it seemed that no matter how I explained it, it would be wrong.Novia looked at me with a cold smile and mocked, "I trusted you as a good sister, but you're secretly stealing my man. You're really something."Novia's words were sharp and pierced my heart deeply. "Novia, it's not like that, me and..." I tried to explain, but Novia interrupted me coldly.Novia questioned, "Natalie, if you dare to do it, you should dare to face it. You and Mr. Eugen are together every day. Have you been planning this all along?"Novia
I carefully examined Spring's features, and indeed, he looked so much like me. I took out my phone and switched to the front camera, looking at myself in the screen and then at Spring. The more I looked, the more I realized how uncanny the resemblance was. My heart started beating faster, just as the nurse had mentioned. Spring and I truly looked like mother and son. As I held the child in my arms, my inner turmoil only grew stronger.If Spring is my child, why hasn't Mr. Eugen told me about it? Could there be another hidden reason behind this? However, whether Spring is my child or not, I must resolve my doubts. While Mr. Eugen is still not back, I dialed the phone number of the detective agency I used before."I want you to verify some information."After hanging up the phone, I felt very nervous. Looking at Spring in my arms, I couldn't let go of him.When Mr. Eugen came back, he placed the take-out box on
