Even though Elijah had never said anything out loud, Sally thought that he must have secretly laughed at her for her lack of resolve. He must have thought she was stupid for antagonizing him before!That was why she decided to close her eyes and even breathed louder to put on a more convincing show.Elijah chuckled faintly.This silly girl seemed to have no idea what she really looked like when she was asleep.Even so, he did not call her out.He smiled faintly. "I'm going to work overtime tonight to try and finish up the work in A City."Since you seem to have some memories of Javier, perhaps you remember some things from high school."He raised his hand and gently stroked her soft hair. "Tomorrow, I’ll bring you back to Summers Village where your old high school is."After he said that, he let out a faint sigh. "Speaking of which, I actually want to know the details of your high school days as well."You were 20 years old when we met."I missed the first 20 years of your li
"Madam... I... don’t think that’s a good idea.”The bodyguard stopped her with a light cough. "It’s inconvenient for him to meet you right now."Others might not know, but the few bodyguards who had changed shifts did.Last night, Elijah had stayed up almost the entire night, working overtime in the study.It was already dawn when he came out and asked Aunt Leigh to heat a glass of milk for him. After he drank it, he went to sleep.It had only been ten minutes since Elijah went to bed.However, Sally did not know about any of this and completely forgot about what Elijah had told her on her bed last night. He was going to work overtime so that he could accompany her to Summers Village.She frowned at the bodyguard at the door. "Why is now an inconvenient time for him?” When she remembered what he told her in her dream, that he would be with her forever and he would share all her joys and sorrows… Suddenly, a part of Sally's heart felt empty for no reason and it was a painful fe
The man's gaze sank. "Or do you feel sad because I’ve been locking you up inside here?"I don’t mean to keep you under house arrest and take away your freedom. I’m just afraid that something might happen to you..."There were hints of sadness and self-deprecation in the man's voice.After a long time, he laughed faintly. "If you want to leave, I’ll let you go."But..."He held her hand. "Let my people protect you, okay?"Sally sniffled, and her head was dizzy from all the crying. When she heard what he said, she abruptly looked up and met his eyes that were filled with guilt.She was slightly stunned before she realized that he had misunderstood her.The woman pursed her lips and hurriedly shook her head. "I'm not—""Don't say no."Elijah thought she was shaking her head because she was refusing to have anyone protect her.He lowered his voice, making it as soft as he could. "It's for your own good.""I know..."He pursed his lips, and his voice sounded lonesome. “I know y
"Y-You want me to... shave you?"She did not know how to!However, she seemed to have shaved him in her dream.No, not only did she shave him in her dream, but she had also helped him shower and...When she thought of the realistic details in her dream, Sally's face flushed furiously.She pursed her lips and looked up at Elijah. "Aren't you afraid that I'll nick you?”"I’m not.”The man looked at her red face, and there were elements of joking in his voice as the worry in his heart gradually began to dissipate. "You may have lost your memories, but you were an excellent surgeon before."I'm sure you wouldn't make such an amateur mistake."Sally, "..."Did she really used to be a good surgeon?She thought that she was just a stupid and naive girl who Elijah always protected.When she was thinking about that, the man picked her up from the bed and carried her straight to the bathroom.He shoved a slightly heavy and cold metal razor into her hand.The man stood in front of h
“If my memories really tell me that’s how you are, I’ll leave you.” “If my memories of you tell me you had a reason for doing so…” She sniffled and spoke as if she had made a major decision. “Then, I’ll apologize to you and agree to one of your requests!” Elijah smirked as his heart, which had been racing with worry because of her, slowed down. He shook his head at her as he pinched her cheek. “Looks like you’ll have to start prepping for our third kid.” Third kid? Sally’s eyes widened as she stared at him. “What do you mean?” “Because you’re going to lose for sure.” “If you’re going to agree to one of my requests, then that request will be…” The man tilted her chin upward and forced her to look into his eyes. “Give me a third kid.” Sally’s face turned bright red. She hurriedly pushed Elijah away. “You… You…” “Silly girl.” The man smiled wryly as he pulled her into his arms. “You scared me half to death.” He thought he nearly had to let her go this time. H
“You should do this yourself…” Sally pursed her lips as she stared at the razor in her hands. Although she had been an excellent surgeon in the past, she did not dare lay her hands on Elijah so hastily. He was the president of Moses Corporation and one of the people in A City who called the shots.If she accidentally hurt him and caused him to have a scar, he would lose some of his gravitas. Moreover, if anyone learned that he got the scar after his wife helped him shave… Not only him, but even she would be laughed at, right? The razor in her hands seemed to transform into a hot potato when she thought of that. Sally hurriedly threw the razor back onto the sink. A few seconds later, the razor was once again stuffed into Sally’s hands. “Mrs. Moses, are you going to say no to such a simple request?” Elijah’s dark, shining eyes stared straight into hers. The light in his dark eyes seemed bottomless and made her unable to say no. Thus, as he stared at her, Sally was
“You’re very skilled, Mrs. Moses. It seems that this task of shaving me can be given to you in the future.” Sally, “...“I don’t want that!” Elijah smiled indulgently as he leaned his forehead against hers. “You can’t refuse.“Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.” Sally pouted as she rubbed her stomach. She really was hungry.“Shall I make you some noodles?” Elijah did not even need to wait for Sally’s response. He had guessed what she was going to say through reading her actions. Thus, the man took her into his arms and strode down the stairs. He gently placed Sally on a chair in the dining room before pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Wait for me. I'll be done soon.” Then, the tall man with broad shoulders strode into the kitchen. Aunt Leigh was bustling about the kitchen. When she saw Elijah walk into the kitchen, she hurriedly pushed him back out. “Sir, haven’t you gone to rest? Why are you downstairs again?“Are you hungry?
Sally paid close attention to all the advice the doctor gave her about Elijah and also listened to Pierre’s description of Elijah’s recent sleep quality. It turned out… He never had a good night’s sleep ever since she lost her memory. He would sleep for only three or four hours a night as he was too worried about something happening to her and that she would forget who she was as time passed.Thus, he spent a lot of time working and planning the company’s future activities and structures. Ever since Quirinus brought up her past, he would only sleep for an hour or two each night. He would spend the rest of the night working overtime in the study, hoping to squeeze even more time to accompany her. “Sir has not been resting well lately…” A pang of pain spread through Sally’s heart when she heard what Pierre said. Tears slid down her cheeks without a sound.She raised a hand and gently stroked the man’s chiseled face. “You always say I’m silly.“But aren’t you the silly on
————One year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A City’s grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. “When I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.” “However, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.” “Who would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freya’s younger brother. As per her wishes, I’ll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.” Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. “My beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.” Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp
“If you destroy everything I have, then I’ll destroy everything you have!” Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!” “It’s all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. I’ve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!” “Sally Summers, it’s all your fault! Everything is because of you!” “I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!” “Alright then, go be a ghost!” Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenie’s chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. “Elijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!” “If you can’t choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!” “Your sister is just one part of my plan!” “You probably don’t know this yet.” Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir
The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, “You are…” “I’m the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.” She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the woman’s face turned increasingly paler. “You have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.” “We just met the other day.” She shook her head as she spoke. “It makes sense, though. It’s only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.” “Forgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you don’t have many days left.” “When you’re gone, he’s going to leave his daughter and marry me.” The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, “Impossible… That’s impossible…” “Quincy, he…” “Nothing is impossible.” Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the woman’s face. “Look, I’m pregnant.” “How could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences don’t exi
“In your dreams!” Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. “I wouldn’t want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!” The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. “You’re going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?” “You planted your seed in my stomach.” Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. “So, what do you want?” “Let’s meet up.” Queenie yawned. “Can you pick a place?” “There’s a cafe nearby the hospital.” Quincy sighed. “I don’t have much time for you, so don’t try talking nonsense after we meet.”“What a man you are, trying to ghost someone after you’ve slept with them.” The woman shrugged nonchalantly. “Alright. You can wait for me. I’ll be there soon.” She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. “Why do you want me to meet her?” “You’ve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.” “This time, Quincy, you’re the bait.
The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincy’s skin. Intense pain came, but he did not seem to feel a thing as he continued pushing. Suddenly, a large, strong, and dry hand took hold of him. Quincy frowned as he tried to continue forcing the knife in, but he could not exert any more strength. Elijah’s cold voice rang beside his ear. “Do you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?” “Have you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?” Stunned, Quincy turned instinctively to look at Freya. The woman was sobbing controllably. As she gazed tearfully at him, it seemed that she had multiple things she wanted to say but could not find the words. Tears flowed once more from Quincy’s eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. “It’s my fault.” “It’s all my fault!” “Freya… I can’t live without you.” “I cannot… I…” Freya could not stop herself from wr
After Freya was hospitalized, Quincy canceled all his work plans and spent all his time in the hospital watching over her. Although she never let him in, and although he could only ever gaze at her through the window from afar. However, he insisted on not taking even a step away from her ward. He stood guard there stubbornly, and no one could talk any sense into him. Both Elijah and Thomas could not bring themselves to chide or drive Quincy away when he acted this way. And thus, Freya finally agreed to meet him on the seventh day. The woman’s face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincy’s eyes when he saw what his beloved looked like from a close distance. It was all his fault. It was all his fault! He had caused her to end up this way! All because of him!“Is there anything you would like to say?” Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have
Sally’s lips pursed themselves together when Freya’s name was mentioned. She would admit that she had had a horrible first impression of Freya when they first met. The woman had stripped nearly twenty years of Zoey’s life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sally’s mother during her and Elijah’s wedding. However, times had changed, and five years had passed since then. Sally could not bring herself to be cruel toward Freya, who now showed complete remorse. Additionally, she had treated Sam and Little Sarah with genuine kindness lately. Sally had begun to think of her as family. Yet, now, something like this happened. She sighed. “Freya…” “Freya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.” Freya’s illness was in her heart. The sort of illness she had made it so that she could not be made angry, excited, or frantic. If not, not e
Evonne and Sally were slurping instant noodles when Elijah and Thomas arrived at the doctor’s on-call room. They were starving and had virtually no energy left. The only thing in the room they could use to fill their stomachs was instant noodles. When the door opened, Elijah frowned slightly when he saw his petite wife steadily making her way through a pack of instant noodles. The man strode over and grabbed her bowl. “Unhealthy stuff.” Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. “I don’t care if it’s not nutritious! I’m hungry… Hubby?” The emotions in the woman’s eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijah’s neck and jumped into his arms. “You’re back!” “I missed you so much!” He had been on his ocean trip for more than half a month. They had never been separated for so long since getting back together. The signal on the sea was spotty, and she could never
When Sally finished suturing the last ruptured blood vessel in Freya’s heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. “It’s steady! The patient’s heartbeat is steady again!” The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it weren’t for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! “Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!” “Of course.” A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, “How did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?” The young nurse’s mouth widened in surprise. “In that case… why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?” The senior doctor sighed. “I guess they have their reasons…” In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. “Dr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?” Sa
