Josephโs face was pale as he stared at Sally. Sally did not seem to notice as she rolled her eyes. โClumsy.โ โGet out if you canโt even pour tea properly!โ Joseph had an uncomfortable expression on his face as he pursed his lips and walked off. When he was gone, Sally continued smiling as she gazed at Quirinus. โDo you think I should give birth to this child, or should I abort it?โ Quirinus did not even look at the test results before he arched an eyebrow and asked, โYouโre asking me to decide for Elijah Mosesโ kid?โ Sally continued smiling at him. โItโs not his kid. Itโs your kid.โ โYou can take a look. The fetus is less than a month old.โ โEveryone said I slept with you around half a month ago so that you would give Elijah your shares.โ โElijah has not touched me in that way ever since I regained my memory.โ โBased on my calculations, the child belongs to you.โ She smiled at Quirinus. โIโm planning to birth this child. Then, weโll also take our first kid Rohan w
Because although she and Quirinus were the only two people in the room, the couch they were sitting on and the bottom of the table had been bugged. The fountain pen she had pinned to her blouse also had a pinhole camera in it. In the next room, Joseph and his other men were live broadcasting both the audio and video of Sallyโs conversation with Quirinus to the media companies that had spread rumors about her. Thus, Sally purposely repeated what Quirinus had told her several times. โSo, you were lying when you said we had slept together and that we had once been in love?โ Quirinus laughed. โHasnโt Elijah told you all this already?โ He picked up his cup and took a sip of tea from it. โIf you can tell me right now that you want to be with me and that you want to leave with me, Iโm more than willing to take you with me.โ โBut what are you trying to do by faking your pregnancy and lying that you want to leave with me?โ โAre you going to kill me while Iโm not paying attention?โ
Quirinusโ brows knitted themselves together tightly. โWhy are youโฆโ His men had assured him Elijah Moses was still asleep in his room when he arrived! How could heโฆโWhy am I here?โ Elijah smiled calmly as he walked over, sat down beside Sally, and pulled her into his arms. โIf my wife is meeting with a man I hate, Iโm going to be there to watch no matter how much I feel like resting.โ Then, he reached an arm out and picked up the test results Sally had placed on the coffee table. He scanned them carefully. Thus, the man smiled. He raised a hand to pinch Sallyโs nose gently. โI genuinely thought you were pregnant, you mischievous girl.โ Sally smiled somewhat bashfully but did not say anything. Quirinus frowned and finally paid attention to the test results in Elijahโs hands. Elijah threw the test results to Quirinus. โMr. Banks, I think you should take a good look at these.โ The results were not for a pregnancy test. Instead, the results showed Sallyโs hormone le
Stunned, Quirinus was about to return the call when Elijah laughed and said, โItโs pointless.โ โMr. Banks, do you think Iโve only been working on Sallyโs memory loss lately?โ โYou underestimate me.โ The man cradled Sally gently as he stared at Quirinus with eyes as cold as the North Pole. โBut hereโs what you donโt know.โ He retrieved a stack of papers from behind him and tossed them to Quirinus. โFrom tomorrow onwards, the Banks Corporation is going to be called Moses Corporation.โ โYour father has already signed the contract and transferred all his assets to me.โ Quirinusโ eyes widened rapidly as he hurriedly flicked through the contract. In itโฆ was indeed the old manโs signature! He sat down dazedly on the couch. โHow is that possibleโฆ โIโm his sonโฆโ โThis is what your dad told me.โ Elijah pursed his lips slightly. โHe said youโre the most unreliable person in the world.โ โHe said that if Yvette canโt find a good husband, and if you have a death wish, he mi
Bennett might have been alive for half a century, but he worked out regularly and took care of his health. Thus, Quirinus had no way of attacking back after he began hurling his punches. When the first punch landed, blood spurted out of Quirinusโ nose and spattered onto Sallyโs hand. Sally was stunned when Quirinusโ still-warm blood landed on the back of her hand. It took her a while to realize it was blood. Raising her head instinctively, she saw that Quirinus' face was hurt. Quirinus might be young, but he rarely worked out and had a thin, weak frame. Bennett looked like he was holding a newborn chick when he held Quirinus up.Elijah took the hand that had Quirinusโ blood and helped Sally wipe the blood away with a tissue he had with him. Then, he raised his head and said, โRespectable father-in-law, Iโll take Sally away first.โ Bennett, who was still beating Quirinus up, frowned and turned around to take a look. It was then that he realized his movements were too violent
When the man placed her in the car, she finally clapped a hand to her forehead in understanding! What she had just saidโฆ She had wanted to reclaim some shred of dignity and say the lengths of their legs were influenced by their pants and skirt. However, the man must have thought it was an invitation for something elseโฆ When she remembered the tone of his voice and the look in his eyesโฆ He must have thought she was making some excuse on the fly, which was why he had smiled so evilly and sounded like he was going to laugh when he spoke! She buried her face in her hands when she thought of that. What was she going to doโฆ She seemed to have dug her own graveโฆ Just then, Elijah opened the door on the other side of the car and got in. He was sitting on her left side, and his body temperature seemed to heat the air and boil her face. Sally felt as if her face were burning up. โWhyโs your face so red?โ Suddenly, the man turned and swept his gaze across her tomato-red fa
The newly-appointed chauffeur who was sitting in the driverโs seat carefully covered the carโs windows and lowered the shield in the car. The backseat of the car was turned into an isolated space. Elijah gently lay Sally down as he kissed her. Sallyโs brain was throbbing. The kisses he gave her stimulated her lips and sent endless signals to her brain. These signals seemed to trigger a lot of her memories. She closed her eyes without meaning to. Scene after scene appeared in her mind. She saw herself blushing as she held Elijahโs photo and spoke to a middle-aged man. โUncle, Iโm willing to marry him.โ She saw herself signing a contract in front of an old man and then smiling at that old man as she said, โDonโt worry, Grandfather. Iโll keep my promise!โ โIโll do my best to bear Elijahโs children!โ During a simple wedding, she curled her hands into fists as she stared stubbornly and solemnly at Elijah. โDonโt worry. Iโll do my best to give birth to your children!โ
Even she felt that it was a crazy method!!! โWhatโs wrong?โ Elijah frowned when he saw something was going on with her. The man stared intently at her face. โAre you feeling unwell? Orโฆโ โIโฆโ Sally bit down on her lip. She desperately wanted to tell Elijah what had just happened to her. Howeverโฆ she immediately decided not to when she remembered what had triggered her to regain her memories. Did that not equate to her giving him a chance to bully him on a silver platter! โI remember I asked you to rest at home today.โ Thus, she pouted and instinctively changed the subject. โWhy did you come here?โ The man smiled slightly as he raised a hand and swept her bangs aside. โI couldnโt let you face Quirinus Banks alone.โ Sally pursed her lips. โDid Joseph tell you?โ โYes.โ โJoseph!โ Sally pursed her lips. โI told him he wasnโt allowed to tell you!โ Elijah sighed. โHe knows whatโs more important.โ โIf he told me, all that would happen is you would be angry at him
โโโโOne 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 Cityโs 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. โWhen I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.โ โHowever, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.โ โWho would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freyaโs younger brother. As per her wishes, Iโll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.โ Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. โMy beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.โ 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
โIf you destroy everything I have, then Iโll destroy everything you have!โ Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, โIf it werenโt for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!โ โItโs all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. Iโve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!โ โSally Summers, itโs all your fault! Everything is because of you!โ โI wonโt forgive you even if I become a ghost!โ โAlright then, go be a ghost!โ Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenieโs chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. โElijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!โ โIf you canโt choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!โ โYour sister is just one part of my plan!โ โYou probably donโt know this yet.โ Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir
The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, โYou areโฆโ โIโm the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.โ She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the womanโs face turned increasingly paler. โYou have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.โ โWe just met the other day.โ She shook her head as she spoke. โIt makes sense, though. Itโs only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.โ โForgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you donโt have many days left.โ โWhen youโre gone, heโs going to leave his daughter and marry me.โ The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, โImpossibleโฆ Thatโs impossibleโฆโ โQuincy, heโฆโ โNothing is impossible.โ Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the womanโs face. โLook, Iโm pregnant.โ โHow could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences donโt exi
โIn your dreams!โ Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. โI wouldnโt want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!โ The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. โYouโre going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?โ โYou planted your seed in my stomach.โ Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. โSo, what do you want?โ โLetโs meet up.โ Queenie yawned. โCan you pick a place?โ โThereโs a cafe nearby the hospital.โ Quincy sighed. โI donโt have much time for you, so donโt try talking nonsense after we meet.โโWhat a man you are, trying to ghost someone after youโve slept with them.โ The woman shrugged nonchalantly. โAlright. You can wait for me. Iโll be there soon.โ She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. โWhy do you want me to meet her?โ โYouโve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.โ โThis time, Quincy, youโre the bait.
The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincyโs 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. Elijahโs cold voice rang beside his ear. โDo you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?โ โHave you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?โ 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 Quincyโs eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. โItโs my fault.โ โItโs all my fault!โ โFreyaโฆ I canโt live without you.โ โI cannotโฆ Iโฆโ 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 womanโs face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincyโs 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!โIs there anything you would like to say?โ Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have
Sallyโs lips pursed themselves together when Freyaโs 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 Zoeyโs life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sallyโs mother during her and Elijahโs 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. โFreyaโฆโ โFreya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.โ Freyaโs 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 doctorโs 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. โUnhealthy stuff.โ Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. โI donโt care if itโs not nutritious! Iโm hungryโฆ Hubby?โ The emotions in the womanโs eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijahโs neck and jumped into his arms. โYouโre back!โ โI missed you so much!โ 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 Freyaโs heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. โItโs steady! The patientโs heartbeat is steady again!โ The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it werenโt for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! โDr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!โ โOf course.โ A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, โHow did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?โ The young nurseโs mouth widened in surprise. โIn that caseโฆ why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?โ The senior doctor sighed. โI guess they have their reasonsโฆโ In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. โDr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?โ Sa
