‘What gives me the right to stop her? I’m not anyone to Mimi. Otherwise, if I were to rush in like this, I’d only embarrass Mimi and Zeke.’Elias lowered his head. He suddenly felt as if he had been hit with a spell. He nearly lost control over his actions.‘What happened to me? Why was I being so rash? Thank goodness I caught myself in time. If I rushed in, I’d end up totally embarrassed.’He heaved a sigh and continued standing at the doorway, looking inside. Mimi was in the VIP ward, which was a huge room. Elias stood at the doorway, unable to hear their conversation too clearly.All he could see was the pair engrossed in conversation. Mimi looked very happy, and he couldn’t help feeling anxious.‘D*mn it, must she be so happy over having a suitor? Is she obsessed with men?’Elias felt a sore pang in his heart for some strange reason. He felt uncomfortable, as if he had eaten a lemon and failed to digest it.He realized that he really didn’t like having other men prowling ove
Elias kept his eyes on the pair, feeding each other in the room, and slowly clenched his fist. He grimaced, hard.‘What are those two doing? They’re just eating. Do they have to be so close? Mimi has hands and feet, doesn’t she? She may be injured, but she doesn’t need a man feeding her like this, does she?’Unbeknownst to Elias, his heart swelled with a sour taste, as if he had eaten a lemon. Even his chest felt uncomfortable.The nurse did not notice Elias’ absent-mindedness. She was blind from her excitement from seeing her prince charming. She lowered her head, blushing and smiling shyly. Her eyes had practically turned into the shape of hearts.It was a rare opportunity for her to come face to face with this prince charming. Nearly every young nurse in this hospital was Elias’ secret admirer, and she was the only one lucky enough to come face to face with the man of every nurse’s dreams. She had to seize this opportunity.After some consideration, the nurse gathered her coura
Zeke chuckled. “You have feelings for each other, so I don’t want you to lose any chances you may have. After all, you only meet The One once. If you miss out on the person you love most, you’ll live in regret, no matter how much time passes. However, I’m only going to give Elias one chance. If he still fails to appreciate this chance, I’m going to take you away.”Mimi laughed exasperatedly. “Alright, I promise that if Elias still loses his chance with me this time, I’ll focus on officially becoming your girlfriend and devote myself to you from now on. I’ll never look at any other man no matter what happens.”“It’s a deal, then.” Zeke smiled teasingly. “But I really do hope that Elias will continue in his stupidity and remain in his absent-mindedness.”Mimi laughed bitterly. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings.…The secretary knew that Xavier wasn’t going to let her off the hook so easily, but she never expected him to move so quickly.This morning, when she arrived for wor
The secretary frowned. She instinctively shielded her right wrist and turned to Xavier irritably.‘Has he lost his mind? What is he doing? I only bought a bracelet exactly like Jeanette’s. I haven’t done anything wrong, so why can’t Xavier let this go?’Jeanette glanced at her wrist curiously, but she was blocking her bracelet from view.Xavier wasn’t about to let her off the hook that easily. He pretended to look surprised. “Ah, sis! That bracelet on her wrist looks exactly like yours…”The secretary panicked but continued acting calm.The secretary took a deep breath and acted calm as she replied, “It’s perfectly normal for people to have the same bracelets. It’s a feminine item, after all. If it’s pretty, plenty of people will buy it.” Xavier, on the other hand, smirked. “But I remember that you helped my brother buy the bracelet on Jeanette’s wrist.”The secretary’s heart sank. She frowned and shot Xavier an angry glare.Jeanette was taken aback. The scene before her was c
Xavier was the second heir to the Godfrey Group. He may not have inherited the CEO seat like Damon, the eldest son, but he was a rich man’s son who his parents greatly indulged.He was a blessed son in the eyes of the public. He wasn’t just handsome, but he also came from a rich family and was born with a silver spoon. He had many things that most people didn’t.However, Xavier had a secret. Damon was the only person that Xavier was jealous of.They may be brothers, but they had never gotten along. Besides, ever since that incident from their childhood, they had pretty much been reduced to enemies.Xavier had dedicated his life to causing trouble for Damon for as long as he could remember. When Damon had been in elementary school, Xavier would constantly tear up his homework and throw them in the trash, in secret, in a bid to prevent Damon, an outstanding student, from handing over his homework the next day and to ensure that the teacher would criticize him.However, Damon would
“Fine, fine…” Damon’s expression was filled with gentleness. “You’re the smartest person, Jeanette, for being able to retain such an important business deal for the company. Now, let me think… How should I reward you?”Jeanette’s eyes sparkled as her face was filled with anticipation. “I’m getting a reward? That’s awesome!”Damon shrugged and said, “Of course you are. You’ve been working really hard to take care of the company all this time. Coupled with the fact that you’ve retained such an i
Damon curled his lips, and his voice was filled with shock as he said, “Why have you turned so red, Jeanette? Are you down with a fever?”Although Damon pretended as if he was absolutely harmless and even extended his hand toward her forehead to check her temperature, the playfulness in his eyes was so intense that it was obvious he was deliberately teasing her. ‘You jerk!’Jeanette turned her reddened face away as she stubbornly denied it. “I’m not down with a fever! It’s really hot outside
The sun’s warm rays were shining inside Mimi’s ward, landing on Mimi’s cheeks. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Autumn’s sunlight was not as hot as the summer’s, so it was comfortably warm as it shone on her, with a gentle breeze blowing in from the window. Over the past few days, Mimi had been recovering really well. Her chest cavity was not as painful, and she was finally able to sit as normal after lying on her bed for such a long time. Sometimes, she could even get out of bed
