In the operating room. With Silvia around, Felix's condition had improved a lot. All the doctors were surprised, but this was not the time for them to be amazed. They had to get ready for another round of surgery. "Silvia, Silvia..." For the past few days, Felix would call out Silvia's name whenever he was conscious. Silvia stood beside the operating table, trying as much as she could not to interrupt the doctor's preparation. "Felix, I'm Silvia. I'm here to accompany you. You don't have to worry about the surgery, okay? Everything will be fine." "Silvia..." Felix suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed Silvia. "Silvia, leave Jayden and return to my side, alright? I love you. I can't live without you." "Felix, let's not talk about this first. Let's focus on the surgery instead, okay?" Everything between them was already a thing of the past. There was nothing they could do to turn back time, but why couldn't Felix understand it? "Answer me, Silvia.
Being an adult, one could no longer do everything as he or she wished. It was not just about what he or she wanted, but also about considering other people's feelings before taking any action. Of course, Silvia could have violated her promise to Felix. However, she could not bring herself to do it... Nor did she want to. She looked at Jayden. When she realized that she would not be able to look at him like this anymore, Silvia could not help but shed tears. She said, "I'm sorry, Jayden! I'm sorry!" Jayden did not want to hear any apologies, so he said, "Silvia, I don't need you to apologize to me. You just have to tell me that you want to be with me and leave the rest to me." Silvia shook her head. "It's not that. Felix was in a critical condition just now so I had no choice but to promise him. Since I've already promised him, I can't break the promise. I've already broken my promise to him once, I don't want to break it again." "Silvia, have you ever cons
"Well, you should take a look at this then." Jayden threw a stack of documents at Felix. "The police have been looking for the murderer who killed Dr. Thames for quite a while now, but they haven't found any clues. I can always ask my men to hand this to the police, but seeing that you are so severely injured, I can't bring myself to do that." Felix flipped through the materials, only to find a photo of him murdering Dr. Thames. This was completely mind blowing. He had already ruined all the evidence, so how could there be such a photo? "Where did you get this from?" "Does it matter though?" Jayden said casually, "I could have just shown all these to Silvia, but I didn't." "Do you think that I will believe that?" Felix laughed coldly. Then, he let out a smile that could send chills down one's spine. "Jayden Elias Kyle, as long as you show these evidence to Silvia and let her clearly see what sort of a person I am, she will be yours forever." "It's precisely beca
Silvia wanted to forget the relationship she had with Felix, but every time she thought about how she had broken her promise, she would be filled with remorse. This was especially the case with Felix's current condition. She just could not bring herself to feel at ease. "The snow is getting heavy now. Let's go home first." Jayden knew that Silvia was stubborn and that he would not be able to convince her that easily. He knew that he would have to give her some time to think it through herself. Silvia broke away from his embrace and shook her head as she said, "Jayden, you can go home first. I'm going back to my mom's place." "Your mom is at West Side now." Jayden dragged her along and shoved her into the car. "Go home with me. Don't think about going anywhere else." Silvia said anxiously, "Jayden, can you not be this bossy?" Jayden replied, "No." Silvia was speechless. ...... In the end, Silvia followed Jayden back to West Side.
Silvia's worry eventually became a reality. However, she really could not help it. She was on a ten-hour flight from Chatterton Town and upon landing, she immediately rushed to the hospital. On top of that, she had been taking care of Felix ever since. She was so busy that she did not get to sleep for the whole day. Now that she was lying in Jayden's warm embrace, Silvia fell into deep slumber almost instantly. "Master Jayden..." Carson wanted to say something but Jayden stopped him. Jayden waved his hand, gesturing for Carson to leave the room. Hence, Carson had no choice but to pack up and leave. Carson bumped into Mrs. Turner, who was waiting anxiously on the first floor. Mrs. Turner asked with a worried face, "Doctor, are they alright?" Carson said, "Yes, it's just some recurring illness. I've already given Master Jayden an antipyretic jab, so he's in a stable condition now. As for Miss Turner, she has always been in good health and she's asleep now."
He had to find the culprit even if he had to overturn the entire city. Simon believed that Jayden had the ability to do so. Moreover, this matter concerned Silvia, Jayden would definitely go all out. Initially, the reason Silvia was able to garner Jayden's attention was her resemblance to Karen Joy. And because of this mere resemblance, things began to go out of control. Jayden had been helping her out in secret for more than two years before they eventually met each other. Two years was not a long time, but for someone, like Jayden, who had never spent time on useless things, was definitely a significant amount of time spent. In Simon's point of view, regardless of the gender, once a person had fallen in love, even the most rational people would lose their judgments. Realizing that Simon was not answering him, Jayden said, "Did I make myself clear?" Simon came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Yes." Jayden added, "Send some of your me
"Jayden, are you telling the truth?" Silvia, who had fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. She blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Jayden expectantly. Looking into her eyes, Jayden could tell that there was an unconcealable slyness and excitement in them. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" Jayden's face darkened. How dare this girl pretend to be asleep? Knowing that Silvia had heard everything he had said to her, Jayden felt extremely embarrassed. "Answer me, Jayden." Now that Jayden had finally confessed his love for her, Silvia was determined to get to the bottom of it. "Go to sleep!" Jayden pulled the quilt and tucked her in. "It's getting late." "I won't sleep if you don't answer me." When it came to being stubborn, Silvia was definitely better than Jayden. "What I said is true." Since Silvia would not give up, Jayden had no choice but to admit it. "What's true?" Silvia was not satisfied even after getting the answer she wanted. Seeing
At the dining table. Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law were so in love, Mrs. Turner could not hide the smile on her face. "Silvia, Jayden, I'm really happy to see you two getting along so well." "Mom, he was bullying me earlier this morning. We're definitely not getting well together." That was what Silvia said, but the smile on her face was not lesser than that of Mrs. Turner's. On the other hand, Jayden was eating his breakfast silently. After all, no matter how well he treated her, Silvia would still accuse him of bullying her. Jayden really could not understand why Silvia had never thought that if she weren't his wife, would he even bother to bully her? Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "Okay, okay... If you say so..." Silvia said coquettishly, "Mom..." Mrs. Turner added, "Since you two are back, I should go home. The New Year is in two days. I'll have to clean up the house and wait for you two to come celebrate the New Year's at my place."
...... Eight months later. Adrienne had given birth to a daughter, gathering the entire Yard family in Chatterton Town. Everyone was in high spirits but Jefferson had a sour expression on, as if that was the worst day of his life. Sierra found a moment and went over to Jefferson. "Hey, Jeff. Adrienne just gave birth but why do you have such a long face on? Did you want a son instead or something?" Jefferson responded rudely, "It doesn't matter to me whether it's a boy or a girl. That little girl is our daughter, and I'll love her no matter what." Sierra continued, "Why do you look so upset then?" "Must I have a reason for that?" Well, he was angry at himself. Adrienne had almost lost her life in the labor room earlier, but he hadn't been able to offer any help. Throughout Adrienne's pregnancy, Jefferson had done an enormous amount of research and found out that a C-section birth was relatively safer. Hence, he'd insisted that Adrienne und
...... Johan was still clamming up. Maxtor was so anxious that he couldn't stand still. "Johan, what happened between you and Sierra? Can't you at least explain the situation to me?" After a long silence, Johan looked up and out of the window. "There have been so many fights and misunderstandings between us in the past years and it seems that the past was a time that we can never go back to." Upon hearing this, Maxtor seemed to have put his finger on the crux of the problem. "Did Miranda make Sierra misunderstand you?" Maxtor said earnestly, "Johan, I've told you before that woman has a twisted psyche and you need to stay away from her. You pitied her for being an orphan, but look at what she has been up to." "It has nothing to do with Miranda. It's me. If I..." If he had explained everything to Sierra back then, she wouldn't have felt that insecure about their relationship. He knew everything, but he still got mad at her. Maxtor continued, "He
...... On the first day of school, Miranda was once again met with an unpredicted truth. She found out that Sierra was the top scorer in the entrance exam. She was the overachiever that every university was dying to recruit. Not only did Sierra come from a good family, but she was smart and beautiful to boot. Sierra possessed everything she could have in life. Miranda couldn't figure out why she had to take Johan away from her when she already had so much. What made Miranda even more disappointed was not her inferiority but Johan. On the first day of school, she was over the moon to see that Johan was at the gate to receive her. However, when Johan took her luggage from her and she was wallowing in her excitement to see him, He said to her, "Miranda, that is the girl I like, Sierra. She will be your sister-in-law in the future. You should get on well with her." She didn't want to be nice to her. Instead, she hated her. Mirand
...... Johan's words frightened Miranda so much that her face turned pale. "Johan, Mrs. Silas adopted me. I would have died a long time ago if it weren't for her. How could I have nothing to do with the Silas family?" Johan's face was somber, and his voice chilled Miranda to her bones. "You know that my mother was the one who took you in, but look at what you've been up to all these years?" "Johan, what-what did I do?" Miranda said, trembling with fear. Miranda was an expert at feigning a pitiful appearance and reaping sympathy from others. She even managed to tear up and gazed heart-wrenchingly at Johan at that very moment. However, Johan did not buy into her ploy at all. Not only did his eyes demonstrate her no pity, there was also a trace of disdain that Miranda had never seen before. He loathed her. Upon realizing that, Miranda's heart was broken. Johan had been her dream for those past years. She had worked so hard to do so many things in
...... Sierra wasn't able to refute because what Miranda said was the truth. It was indeed true that many could never compare with her background. However, although she was born privileged, that didn't spare her from putting in effort for her own future. Prestigious universities wanted her because she was the top scorer in the entrance exam but not because of her family background and connections. All of a sudden, Miranda smirked sinisterly. "I know you like Johan, and you want to be with him. Sierra, I like him too, and I want to be with him. You have everything so why do you still want to take my man away from me?" "Excuse me? Who took your man?" Displeased, Sierra said, "Miranda, you were the one who told me that you two were siblings, and that there was nothing going on between you guys. And mind you, you were also the one who encouraged me to go after him." Miranda shouted in a low voice, "Sierra, if I hadn't told you that, would you have remained fri
...... Averting her gaze, Sierra turned around with difficulty. However, just as she had taken a step forward, Miranda's voice sounded from behind. "Sierra, I didn't expect you to come to the airport to pick me up. Imagine my delight to be able to see you on the first day of my return." "You've misunderstood, Miss Attwood. I'm not here to pick you up." Sierra did not conceal her hatred for Miranda as she could not even be bothered to dole out the niceties at her. Miranda chuckled. "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you're still so adorable." It seemed that Miranda couldn't sense the despise Sierra had for her. She approached Sierra with a smile and wanted to give her a hug. Sierra stared at Miranda's outstretched arms and quickly dodged her. A single glance at Miranda and her eyes would be sullied. Sierra thought that she would even throw up should her body come into contact with Miranda's. Miranda was never good at reading between the
...... Stopping her car, Sierra quickly got off to check the situation. No sooner had her feet been on the ground that four men got off from the car in front of her and surrounded her. One of them pointed at her and barked, "Don't you f*cking know how to drive? If you don't, then don't drive. Say it, how much are you going to pay for the damage!" Sierra was driving in accordance to normalcy, but the other party had, so suddenly, cut into her lane without a signal. As hard as she had stepped on her brake, she still collided with the car. They were supposed to be the ones held accountable for the collision. However, they got out of the car and shouted at her, extorting compensation. Sierra suspected that these men had done so deliberately to scam her. She took out her mobile phone and was ready to call the police. However, before she could even unlock her phone, one of the men had already wrenched the phone away from her. "We have something important t
...... In the middle of cleaning the table, Rosie said, "He doesn't only come here to have meals, but he would also get one to go every time. No jalapenos on the one to go. He says that you can't take spices because your stomach doesn't handle it well." Sierra did have a stomach problem, but it wasn't till the point that she couldn't take spicy food at all. Moreover, Johan had never brought any tacos back for her. Sierra figured that he was probably getting it for someone else so she asked, "What did he say to you when he asked you to pack it?" Rosie smiled and said, "He said that he was going to bring it for his girlfriend. He's obviously talking about you, isn't he?" "Oh, his girlfriend." Smiling, Sierra did not put forth any more questions as she knew that Johan had never regarded her as his girlfriend. For him, she was nothing more like a leech that he couldn't shake off. Rosie looked at Sierra and said earnestly, "I know you two fought tod
...... "My ability to act coy?" Sierra said inwardly. She had no idea from where did his temper sneak in again. However, she knew that somehow everything she had done seemed to piss him off. If he didn't like her, then why did he come looking for her? Did he have nothing else better to do? She smiled and said, "Mr. Silas, since you don't like being around me, then let's not meet anymore in the future, nor have any meals together. I'm afraid your appetite will take a nosedive when you see me." "You shouldn't say that, Sierra." Rosie handed one of the plates to Sierra and said, "Every couple gets into fights, but you must know your boundaries. Some words are too hurtful, and you shouldn't just say everything that comes to your mind." Sierra didn't make a sound. She wasn't a fan of others poking their noses in her affairs. Besides, she was not close to Rosie either so she found her rather meddlesome. Rosie didn't seem to register in her mind that Sierra was d
