Third Person's POV"Damn it!" Leo's heart lurched at the high-temperature reading, and he cursed under his breath.He rummaged through the first-aid kit but found no spare fever-reducing medicine.With Sunny in her current state, if her fever didn't subside quickly, she could end up delirious.Leo glanced at the time. It was a little after three in the morning. Where could he find an open pharmacy at this hour?Should he take her to the hospital? After a moment's thought, he decided to call his assistant instead.The assistant, groggy from sleep, was jolted awake by the urgent call. He quickly dressed and rushed to the hospital to fetch the medicine.Leo made a silent vow to reward his assistant handsomely for this.At five in the morning, the assistant arrived with the fever-reducing medicine.Leo expressed his gratitude, and the assistant was touched. He hadn't expected his usually aloof boss to become so considerate.With the medicine in hand, Leo brought a glass of warm water and
Third Person's POV"Pregnant?" Sunny's mind buzzed, going blank for a moment, then she hurriedly said, "That should be quite unlikely. We always took precautions.""I know, but precautions aren't one hundred percent effective. I'm just looking out for you because there are many medications that pregnant women shouldn't take." The doctor patiently explained to her."Oh! Alright then." Sunny's expression stiffened slightly, and then she was forced to recall every moment she was with Leo, thinking of those blush-inducing and heart-racing scenes, her pale cheeks flushed with a rosy hue.Leo sat on the sofa outside the door, and as soon as he saw her come out, he immediately asked, "Did you get the medicine?""The doctor wants me to get a blood test. She's worried I might be pregnant." Sunny let out a bitter smile."What?" Leo's eyes lit up instantly.For werewolves, the conception of new life is a joyous event for the family, and having a
Third Person's POVSunny couldn't fathom his thoughts and let it go. They drove to the company.The employees at the company regarded Sunny as the future boss lady.Previously, they might have ignored her, but now, everyone was vying to get close to her and become familiar.Changes in status and identity often lead to starkly different attitudes from others. As an important person by Leo's side, Sunny naturally received special treatment and was treated differently by everyone. Everyone wanted to maintain a good relationship with her in the future to gain some benefits or avoid unnecessary trouble.Sunny knew that all of this was the special treatment Leo had given her, so she didn't dare to be too complacent.In reality, Sunny had also made quite a few enemies at the company. Female artists who had admired Leo before were now cursing her behind her back.These women, driven by unrequited love, resorted to various underhanded tactics
Third Person's POV"Now?" Sunny's head buzzed, wishing she could just faint on the spot.She knew that once they went, the hidden secrets would likely be exposed. Faced with Leo's insistent attitude, she didn't know how to refuse, her heart filled with panic and helplessness.Sunny reached for her phone, but suddenly, a hand as strong as a vise clamped down on her slender wrist, gripping it tightly.Leo's voice was as cold as a winter wind, "That's right, now. You lead the way."Sunny considered pretending not to know anyone named Teresa, but her mother had already revealed everything.There was no room to feign ignorance.She forced a laugh, suppressing her inner turmoil, "I'm feeling a bit dizzy now, could we...?""No, Sunny. I want you to lead the way right now." Leo's voice grew even colder, the threat in his tone leaving no room for doubt."Alright," Sunny sighed, reluctantly agreeing.Her heart pounded, and
Third Person's POVAt that moment, a middle-aged woman emerged from inside, her face turning pale with fright at the sight of a group of people intruding on her farm."Sir, why have you broken into my farm? Is there something you need?" This woman was Teresa, who feigned surprise as she stepped forward to inquire."Bring Olivia out!" Leo said with a stern expression."Olivia? She's not here!" Teresa immediately shook her head in response."Do you really think we'll believe that?" Leo suddenly turned around, grabbing Sunny who was walking last, and said with a gloomy face, "Didn't she come here looking for Olivia? Stop wasting time and bring her out."Sunny's face had already turned pale, devoid of any color, and her body was on the verge of collapsing.Teresa looked at Sunny, her face clearly showing a look of reproach, "Sunny, how could you do this? Do you have any idea...""Teresa, I..."Sunny tried to explain, but fou
Third Person's POVLeo sat on the sofa directly opposite the hospital bed, his hands constantly flipping a mobile phone.The thought of how tightly this woman had concealed things from him made his heart feel stifled.He began to doubt how genuine her feelings for him were.Perhaps her intentions for getting close to him were becoming increasingly clear—was she trying to atone for her despicable Olivia?On what grounds did she beg for his forgiveness? Shouldn't mistakes be punished?"Mmm..." Sunny, on the hospital bed, let out a faint moan, seemingly due to discomfort.Then, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing the white ceiling and the IV drip hanging nearby.'Was this a hospital?'Sunny suddenly sat up, only to meet a pair of dark eyes, their depths flickering with cold light as if carrying a Siberian chill, causing her to gasp in fright."Did you bring me to the hospital? Thanks." Sunny vaguel
Third Person's POV"Fine, let's break up then." Leo snorted coldly, his tone devoid of any reluctance, "I'll have someone pack up your things and send them back to you.""Leo, I'm really sorry. Thank you for not despising me in the past...""Don't say such insincere words. If I liked you, I would naturally treat you with utmost kindness. But you didn't cherish it. You betrayed my trust, and this is all on you," Leo cut her off abruptly, then stormed out of the hospital room, slamming the door behind him.Sunny felt as if she had been struck by lightning, standing there motionless for a long time, like a frozen statue.A gust of cold air came through the window, jolting her awake. It felt like she had been in a beautiful dream, but the man who had been good to her was now gone.In the world of werewolves, the departure of a mate is a tremendous blow to the other party.Sunny felt her world collapse in an instant, as if she had lost the
Third Person's POV"What on earth is going on? I was telling everyone that Leo was going to be my son-in-law, and now look, everyone's calling to mock me, to make a fool of me. You unambitious girl, you've disgraced me!"Moira clearly couldn't accept this reality and the blow it dealt her, venting all her resentment on Sunny.Sunny let Moira scold her without a word of retort.Only after Moira had finished did she say, "Mom, I'm tired. I'm going to hang up now."After ending the call, Sunny closed her eyes, lay back on the bed, and felt utterly drained.She knew the days of being ridiculed were far from over, and she could only resign herself to accept it all.The news of Leo and Sunny's breakup indeed caused quite a stir. Some gloated, those who watched indifferently, and those who were secretly delighted and mocking.Among them, the most elated was undoubtedly Mirabel Field, who had always taken a dislike to Sunny.She
"I'm sorry." Sunny bowed her head, covered her face with her hands, and shook it violently. "Sorry, I really don't know what to do."Leo looked at her like a frightened child, muttering this sentence over and over.But he didn't want to hear her apologies."Maybe I loved the wrong person. Since you never tell me the truth, fine, let's stop torturing each other. Breaking up is the wisest choice," Leo steeled himself again, slammed the things he was carrying onto the table, and turned to leave.Sunny heard the door close heavily again, as if it had slammed right into her heart.She trembled all over.They must had been enemies in their past life.Sunny sneered at herself. That was why this life was full of torment.Leo went downstairs, got into his car. His mind went blank.He didn't know why he was so heartless, but he was just really angry, especially since he placed Sunny in the most important position, yet had to endur
"I had someone call Tasha, and she said your mom was home for dinner, so I came over." Leo had been particularly clingy with Sunny lately. Not having her even for lunch felt off, so he packed some food, deciding to eat with her.He didn't expect to see Olivia.Worse still, Sunny actually stood in front of Olivia, as if shielding her.Sunny's mind was blank. She underestimated her importance to Leo.Olivia, seeing Leo's dark expression and the flicker of anger in his eyes, panicked too.She pushed Sunny aside, stepped forward, and said humbly, "Leo, I was planning to apologize to you anyway.""Really?" Leo's voice was icy cold. Though addressing Olivia, his gaze pinned Sunny, as if trying to see through her pale face to her true thoughts.Olivia nodded earnestly. "Yes, I was going to seek your forgiveness. We were just discussing having Sunny call you later...""Enough! I don't want to hear your lies. Keep running if you will."
"Is your hand better?" Olivia nervously checked Olivia's left hand."Did you go to Leo's neighborhood last night?""Yes, I've been waiting at the entrance for days and came here specially to corner you today."Sunny took her home. Olivia collapsed on the sofa and said, "Life on the run is exhausting."Sunny poured a glass of water and asked, "Want something to eat?""Is there any food? I'm starving."After Sunny bought food and returned, she found Olivia already fast asleep on the sofa. An hour later, a phone call woke Olivia up—it was Leo calling to urge her."Leo, I need to have lunch with my mom today. Is it okay if I come back to the company in the afternoon?"Leo agreed readily.Sunny lied to Leo. She was worried that Leo might ask questions or suggest coming with her.Fortunately, Leo didn't say much and just asked her to come back early.After hanging up, Sunny saw Olivia, who had been woken up
After dinner, Richard and Nick didn't linger. They greeted Emerson upstairs and left.Back in the bedroom, Blake's handsome face was clouded with gloom.Catherine sat beside him and gently comforted, "They're gone. Don't let them get to you. It's not worth it!""I know, but I can't help it. This feeling is killing me," Blake said, rubbing his temples.Catherine leaned on his shoulder. "Don't think about it. Emerson's not doing well. Let's focus on taking care of him."Blake nodded. "I'll try to hold on. Once this period's over, I'll make them pay double."Catherine felt helpless seeing his pain but couldn't do anything to ease it.***Late at night, Sunny and Leo were heading home after dinner, both tired.As their car approached Leo's apartment, Sunny glanced out the window and froze.She thought she'd seen Olivia.She sat up straight and looked again.Sure enough, a figure scrambled into a car and
"If the kid were yours, you'd love him!" Richard frowned."But I'm your son too, and I don't feel particularly liked by you."Richard's face turned livid with anger.Seeing Richard speechless, Nick coldly said, "So, I'll only like a son born to a woman I love. Just like you. If that woman had a son for you, you definitely wouldn't treat me as dispensable. I feel like a neglected child.""Enough! I gave you whatever I can already!" Richard interrupted.Nick's words had struck a chord.The reason he didn't value Nick was because he disliked his mother.Richard had always been unwilling to admit it, but now that his son had pointed it out, he became angry out of shame.With a stern face, Nick opened the door and left.Emerson's health was deteriorating. The cold weather made him increasingly uncomfortable.Most of Patricia's energy was devoted to caring for him.Fortunately, the two children were with Abigail,
Catherine and Blake spent two days in Paris before Halsey urged them to return home.The next morning, Halsey found Blake strolling in the garden."Blake, can we talk?" Halsey asked gently."Of course," Blake replied, his expression cool but manner amicable."I want to transfer my company to your name. Consider it a peace offering to my future son-in-law, hoping you'll take good care of Catherine. I'm at ease leaving the company in your hands," Halsey said after a moment of hesitation.Blake frowned. "Why me?""You're capable. The Royal Group has flourished under you. Catherine is still young, and I'm worried she might buckle under the pressure," Halsey explained."Do you trust me that much?" Blake asked with a touch of mockery."You're more reliable than I imagined," Halsey admitted."I can't accept it," Blake refused firmly.Halsey was taken aback. "Why? Is it too small?""A profitable company is valuable
Sunny was stunned. This was the first time she'd seen Tasha act vulnerable."Crying won't help—go cry to Eben," Sunny said, knowing Tasha used tears as her ultimate weapon against her father.Tasha cried harder. "He's my dad. He cared about me! Sunny, there's a limit! You can't bully me like this! Now, the agent won't sign me. Are you satisfied?""How is this my problem?""It is! They heard about our bad relationship and rejected me!"Sunny couldn't believe Tasha's logic. "Our bad relationship is a fact, but signing is about your ability."Seeing sympathy-seeking failing, Tasha immediately stopped crying and threatened, "You'll regret this.""Stop!" Sunny said sternly.Tasha turned and sneered, "What now?"Sunny approached, her eyes cold. "What do you want to do?""I'm just venting my frustration. Is that wrong?" Tasha said, hands on her hips."Try laying a finger on my mom," Sunny warned."Wha
The media exposed Mirabel's arrest, a move deliberately orchestrated by Leo. He wanted every woman envious of Sunny to understand—jealousy was acceptable, but crossing the line to harm others was not.The incident caused a sensation on the internet. A huge weight lifted from Sunny's heart—now that the mastermind was found, she no longer had to live in fear.The next day, Sunny waited for a producer in the lobby.With the storm subsiding, she decided to resume her role in the historical drama she had previously taken on, throwing herself back into her work wholeheartedly.As she focused on studying the script, someone suddenly snatched it from her hands.Accompanying the action was a familiar, mocking voice, "Tsk, still not giving up? After being dumped by Leo, you still dream of being the leading role?"The script thief was her stepsister, Tasha. Dressed in a pink woolen coat, Tasha looked innocent but couldn't hide her sharp ton
Sunny's probing and provocation at the company today already made Mirabel realize something was wrong.She didn't expect Sunny to stoop to such underhanded tactics, even hiring fake cops to extract information from her. What's worse, she actually confessed her true feelings."Sunny, why don't you just die?" Mirabel seethed with hatred, gritting her teeth and flinging the script in her hand.Leo and Sunny were still at the company. Leo ordered some food.Upon opening it, Sunny found it filled with her favorite foods, which momentarily stunned her.Seeing her holding the chopsticks but not eating, Leo quirked his lips. "Don't get emotional yet. Lately, my taste aligns with yours. What you love, I love too."The happiness that had welled up inside Sunny sank back down.Maybe she was overthinking things.Ever since she met Leo, she'd become more and more sentimental, which wasn't a good thing.Lost in thought, Leo murmured,
