"Yes." The doctors immediately worked on their respective tasks as fast as possible as soon as they heard Kevin's words. They all knew that the Young Master of the Kyle family was lying in the emergency room. If something happened to Jayden, their future would be bleak. "Dad?" Karen Joy was very confused. If the group of doctors went in, wouldn't it affect the operation? What if... Karen Joy didn't want to be pessimistic. She knew she needed to believe in her father. She trusted that her father would not let anything happen to Jayden. Her father was not very good at expressing his feelings. Kevin might not have said anything particularly endearing about Jayden throughout the years, but allowing Jayden to take charge of many businesses was Kevin's way of declaring his pride and recognition for his son. "These doctors are the experts I brought from New York." Kevin seemed to see through Karen Joy's concern and commented casually as he walked to her sid
"Dad, maybe there's nothing good about him in your opinion, but I just like him." This was Karen Joy's answer to Kevin. She didn't need a reason to love a person. She didn't even realize it, but she already had a deep affection for this man. If Nathaniel was happy, she would be happy too; if he was worried about national affairs, she would worry with him too; she felt considerate for him deeply. "You..." Kevin clenched his fists. After all, he didn't want to see his daughter sad, so he swallowed what he wanted to say. He didn't want to stop her from being with anyone. However, he really didn't like Nathaniel as he felt that Nathaniel wasn't worthy of his daughter. But in other words, even if Director Kevin could choose another man from the whole world, he may not be able to choose a son-in-law that he would be satisfied with. "Dad, I know you are angry. If you want to hit someone, hit me." Karen Joy knelt on the ground and said, "I only beg you not t
Kevin answered in a serious tone, "Two years ago, the victim of that notorious shooting in New York got shot twice, one of which was close to the heart, but Dr. Jim and his team managed to save the victim." "I'm relieved to have Doctor Jim and the others here, but after all, Jayden's surgery has been going on for so long already." Karen was worried about this. Jayden's operation had been going on for more than ten hours already. The doctors were probably mentally strained and physically exhausted, not to mention the patient lying on the operating table. "Karen, trust me!" Kevin looked at Karen and said these simple words. Simple, yet reassuring. Hearing this familiar phrase, Karen's anxiety gradually subsided. "Yes, of course, I will trust you. Our Jayden will be fine." After living together for so many years, Kevin's character was simple and clear. If he was not 100% sure about something, he would not answer so confidently. Karen not only believed i
In the hospital. At the VIP luxury ward. Looking at Nathaniel's swollen face, Karen felt so distressed that her heart was in pain. She stood beside him and kept telling the doctor and nurse, "Doctor, please use the best medication to treat him. Miss, please be careful when you apply the medication. Don't hurt him." The doctor and nurse answered carefully, "Miss Kyle, don't worry. We will use the best medication we have and we will take care of Mr. President well." They were terrified. This was their President. Even if they had a tiger's courage, they would not dare to give the President any medicine that was subpar. The doctor and the nurse had reassured her, but Karen Joy was still worried. Seeing that the nurse was about to apply some cream medication on Nathaniel's face, Karen Joy immediately blocked her. "Miss, why don't you give me the medication and I'll apply it for him." The nurse instinctively looked at Nathaniel. After receiving a nod
The doctor said the operation was very successful, but they still couldn't guarantee when he would get up. Karen Joy instantly felt like her entire world was shattered. "No, no, no... I don't want anything to happen to him. I want him to wake up." She shook her head and murmured, and then her body went limp and she fell straight to the ground. Fortunately, Nathaniel was standing behind her. Before she was about to hit the ground, he reached out to hold her in time. Nathaniel held her in his arms and felt very sorry for her, "Karen..." Karen Joy was afraid and worried. She was so worried that she was going to cry, but she had been crying for hours already and she was exhausted from it. "Brother Lionel, I don't want anything to happen to him. He must be fine!" Nathaniel patted her on the back and comforted her softly, "You have to trust your brother's strength. Since the operation has been successful, he will definitely wake up." "I don't know."
Karen only wanted to save her son. When she heard Jim said that he wanted the Luminous Pearl, before Kevin could say anything, she said in a hurry, "Jim, as long as Jayden will recover, I will send the pearl to your mother immediately." Everyone knew that the Luminous Pearl was priceless. Many rich and famous people had the money to buy it, but even so, they could not get their hands on it. Jim did not hold much hope that Kevin would give him the Luminous Pearl. But just as he heard Karen say these words, he was so excited that his eyes turned bright. "Mrs. Kyle, do I have your word?" He was in a hurry to get the answer from Karen as he showed his despicable face. Seeing his face, Karen frowned and said, "Doctor Jim, you don't have the basic ethics that a doctor should have, but I will never fool around with my son's life." No matter how rare the Luminous Pearl was and how much she liked it, it was nothing compared to Jayden's life. If that Luminous
Doctor Jesse and his team were old friends of Kevin who had been working with him for many years. His team was assigned to perform a detailed examination on Jayden. After their examination, he concluded, "Director Kevin, although this surgery has been delayed for too long and it even caused great harm to the Young Master's body, fortunately, the Young Master's physical condition is very good. We'll give him the best medicine we have. In a few days, he will wake up." In the medical world, Jim was a master at surgery, while Jesse was an expert at post-surgery recuperation. They each had their own strengths, but Jesse was more ethical as a doctor than Jim was. Jesse would tell Kevin everything he knew about Jayden's condition, as he should. He wouldn't hide anything from him, and he wouldn't exaggerate any symptoms. Moreover, he wouldn't even think of taking advantage of Kevin. Kevin said his usual answer, "As long as it helps with his injury and he can wake up as
"You are my wife." Every time he wanted to reassure her, Kevin would give Karen this same answer. It was a simple sentence, but it contained deep affection. Karen was his wife, so, of course, he wanted to give the best to her, otherwise, would he want other men to be nice to her and care for her instead? Of course not! He should be the one to protect his wife and to bring her happiness. He needed to pamper her so much that she would not care for anyone else. "Of course I know that I am your wife." Karen knew what Kevin was thinking. She snuggled up in his arms and said, "Mr. Kyle, thank you!" She thanked him for giving in to her, thanked him for spoiling her, thanked him for supporting her, thanked him for loving her, and thanked him for giving her a complete and happy home. "Are you confused again?" Kevin lowered his head and bit her playfully. He punished her for thanking him again. In his perception, loving her was his duty. These were his obligat
...... 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
