"If you don't want to stay, then just leave!" gasped Darwin, his eyes rimmed red with anger, "You don't need to push me toward someone irrelevant!""Mr. Solomon, as everyone knows, Miss Robbins was your first love..."Before Fiona could finish, the infuriated Darwin coughed up blood.The fresh, thick blood quickly spread out over the white hospital sheets."Darwin!" Fiona exclaimed, rushing forward to support him with one hand while pressing the call button with the other."What's the rush?" Darwin looked at her, his face unnaturally flushed with fever, "You hate me so much, wouldn't it be just fine if I died?""Even if you were a vagrant, if you were vomiting blood in front of me, I'd be anxious," Fiona responded after a moment.A sense of inexplicable guilt washed over her as she turned to look for medical assistance.She pressed the call button again."What is it?" The nurse station finally responded."The patient is vomiting blood," Fiona replied.Moments later, Darwin was wheeled
"Sure!" Fiona offered a slight smile. "I should be going now, there's a mountain of work waiting for me at the studio."" Can I walk you out?" Lilian made a half-hearted offer.Fiona quickly refused: "You should attend to the important patient, Miss Robbins. Don't worry about me."With that, Fiona finally turned to Darwin, "Mr. Solomon, please rest well."Darwin stared at her with an intensity that seemed to engulf her entirely.Fiona felt a chill run down her spine and quickly left.As soon as Fiona left, Lilian turned to Darwin with concern, "Darwin, what's wrong with your stomach?""When did you meet her?" Darwin asked."Chelsea?" Lilian was taken aback."Yes." Darwin nodded."It was when I was struggling for that project with RH Company. I met her at the golf course not long ago. I know what you want to ask. When I saw her face that day, I was shocked too!" Lilian clutched her chest. "I even called you that day, intending to tell you.
The first time Simon abused her, she immediately flew back to her mother for comfort.But upon returning home, she overheard Thomas joking, "For a madman, Simon seems to keep her woman very well!"That's when Lilian realized she had been deceived.Later, upon her insistence, she learned that the Solomon family had given her family a large sum of money.She was forbidden from ever bringing up that topic.That pile of money was later used by Thomas to buy a villa for a woman.Thus, her life was ruined.But the tragic irony didn't end there.On the third day after her return home, Darwin woke up.Lilian fell apart. She had chosen to marry into the royal family only after eavesdropping on a conversation between the doctor and Grandma Solomon, in which they said Darwin had almost no chance of waking up.It was much later that she discovered the disgusting truth.By that time, Darwin was already showing signs of recovery.It was Grandma Solo
Darwin was more like a seed planted in Chicago's heart, likely to grow into the tree of the child's longing for a father."Stop thinking about it," Ashton said, taking away the tablet from her hands, "Did you know that Darwin gave Chicago a cell phone?"Fiona nodded and responded, "Her Grandma Janna took it away.""That's for the best," sighed Ashton. "As cruel as it may seem to Chicago, if she kept in contact with Darwin and it all came out, that would be the real cruelty towards you."Fiona took a deep breath. "I'm going to help them pack.""The cleaning service have got it covered, you don't need to worry about that," Ashton said.Fiona didn't say anything and still went to the children's room.Chicago was putting the small bag that Darwin bought for her into the suitcase. When she saw Fiona, though she was lost in her thoughts, she still called out, "Mommy.""Chicago, I'll be done with work soon and will come to get you. You like Burl, don't you?
It felt like there was a wad of cotton stuffed in her chest, cotton with hidden blades.With each breath, those invisible blades precisely pierced her throbbing heart. She clutched her chest and slowly squatted down.Moments later, an Aston Martin slowly pulled up beside her.Ashton thought she was in the way and attempted to step back.Then she heard a pleasant voice, "Ashton."Ashton looked up, her eyes red, locking gazes with Kenny in the back seat."You haven't left yet?" Ashton straightened up, a professional smile spreading across her face.Kenny observed her, "Have you been crying?"Ashton paused for a second, then wiped her eyes, "No...no, I just had a bit too much to drink. My eyes get red easily, it's nothing.""It's hard to get a cab at this hour. Get in, I'll drive you home," said Kenny.Ashton remained cautious.Alone with a man, no matter how handsome he may be, she couldn't let her guard down.Being taken advantage of wa
After finishing the proposal framework, Fiona had no time to rest so she headed straight to the kitchen. She prepared their favorite breakfasts for Charles and Chicago. Once breakfast was ready, Charles, looking sharp, came downstairs. Fiona already missed him before they even parted."I'll wrap up work as soon as possible," Fiona said, her eyes filled with pitiful reluctance as she touched Charles's forehead. Charles caressed her cheek, which looked somewhat pale and haggard from the all-nighter, and then gently stroked the dark circles under her eyes. "Mommy, did you stay up all night?"Fiona nodded and said, "The proposal wasn't coming along, but then I had a breakthrough, and before I knew it, it was already this late.""Don't overdo it," Charles said softly. "Staying up all night can make you sick."He didn't like it when Mommy got sick. He had been extremely scared and worried the last time she was ill, fearing he might lose her."I know," Fiona replied ten
"What's wrong?" Alice frowned slightly, instinctively glancing at Chris with a nervous look."What, are you so preoccupied with your grandmother that you don't even care to inquire about the person she injured?" Ashton asked."Is the injured person someone you know, Ashton?" Alice inquired."Yes! The injured person is my own grandmother!" Ashton replied."Go and see to your grandmother. I'll handle things here," Chris told Alice.After a moment of silence, Alice said, "Ashton, we're soon to be family, and I believe we should speak frankly to each other. I feel guilty about your grandmother's injury, but have you sought to understand the circumstances of what happened?""Circumstances?" Fiona chuckled, "Tell me, what are these 'circumstances'?""My grandmother was a teacher back in the day and has always been very gentle. She never hurt anyone, even when she was ill. How could she have hurt your grandmother without any reason?" Alice asked.Ashton expl
"Our family matters are none of your business," Chris sensed the hostility this man had towards him and the possessiveness towards Ashton.Ashton was beautiful, and there was never a shortage of suitors around her.Chris had seen those who brought roses to woo Ashton.He would be upset but never felt threatened.Until now.Looking at the young man before him, for the first time, an unspeakable fear and irritation rose in his heart.Family matters?Ashton grew even more discontented.When had she and Alice become a family?Her grandmother was injured, so why did it suddenly seem like a private family issue?Ashton's anger surged to her head."Chris, there's no family issue between us," Ashton said, instinctively clutching Kenny's wrist, "Let's go!"Kenny's eyes showed a flicker of emotion.His gaze dropped and settled on the hand that had grabbed his wrist."Ashton, stop making a scene!" Chris grabbed Ashton's arm forcefully.
