Elijah had received a phone call from one of the men he had sent out to spy on Quirinus. “He’s found a place to live in C Town, which is beside Summers Village.” “Sir, I saw him calling someone in his room just now… Should we bug his line?” Elijah narrowed his eyes slightly. “No need.” “Quirinus is a very smart person. He’ll easily find out if we’re eavesdropping on him.” “Our mission now is to follow him and make sure he doesn’t realize it.” “Yes sir.” When the call ended, Elijah got some other people to look up where Rebecca and Luis were headed. These two people might have zero connections to him, but Rebecca was Sally’s former best friend and had helped her family avoid getting involved in a car accident. He knew Sally would be thinking about it even if she did not say a thing to him. Which was why he decided to forge ahead silently. The man turned back to the hotel once he had taken care of everything. “Sir.” Pierre hurried up to Elijah the minute he entere
The two stayed together until the next afternoon. The man did not plan to let her go, although she told him she had already regained all her memories. In the end, they halted because of a phone call from Felix. “Sal, can you get in touch with Rebecca?” The disappointment had vanished from Felix’s voice. His voice was deep and calm now as he said, “I can’t get in touch with both her and Luis.” Sally crawled out from Elijah’s grasp. “Why do you want to meet her?” Felix laughed. “I only remembered this when I was packing yesterday. Rebecca insisted on registering our marriage before this, and the documents are still with me.” “After some thought, I decided to cut all ties with her so that she would not be burdened with her marriage to me when she’s with another man.” “This is a good thing to me, her, and Luis.” The man’s voice was expressionless, but Sally could still detect the hints of disappointment in it. Now that Sally had regained her memories, she was no longer
Sally, “...” The man was sometimes so smart it was creepy… She had invited Felix over because she wanted both her and Elijah to take a break and calm down. However, he had immediately seen through her. —————— Thirty minutes later, Felix had arrived and was waiting for them at the restaurant at Noah’s Hotel. Sally had already gotten ready, but Elijah could not help himself from kissing her passionately right before they left. Sally had smudged her lipstick against Elijah’s suit when she was struggling. Thus, they both returned to their room. One changed shirts, while the other reapplied lipstick. Elijah had also used that opportunity to take advantage of Sally. Thus, Felix had already drunk two cups of coffee when they finally arrived at the restaurant to meet him. “Sorry we’re late.” Sally spoke with an apologetic look on her face. Felix smiled kindly as his thin eyes swept across Sally’s crimson lips. “You guys must share a very intimate relationship.”
Felix sprang out of his chair when he heard what Sally and Elijah had said. He stared at them in shock. “You guys are kidding, right?” “How is that possible!” His face paled as he stared at the solemn expressions on Sally and Elijah’s faces, slowly realizing that they weren’t joking. However… “That’s impossible.” Felix shook his head instinctively as he stumbled backward and bumped into the chair behind him. The chair fell over with a “thump”. The loud noise was enough for everyone in the restaurant to turn and look at them. Felix could not be bothered about that. He shook his head and said, “You guys must be joking…” “I met with Luis previously…” “He told me a long story about how he and Rebecca were so in love…” “He showed me the photos and videos they had taken when they were still together… They are so in love.” “Luis and Rebecca have been together for at least eight years… He would never do something like that…” He tried to convince himself by mumbling, “
When plans had been made, Sally frowned and looked at Elijah. “Didn’t you say your men had been tailing Luis and Rebecca?” “Why not ask those men to stop them?” Elijah stood and quietly pulled Sally into his arms. Waving at Felix, the three of them walked out of the restaurant. “Of course we have to stop them.” “But we can’t be too fast.” The man said quietly after leading Sally and Felix into the car, “I let Quirinus go on purpose.” Sally’s eyes widened. “You let him go on purpose?”“Why?” She could not understand it. Even before she had gotten her memories back, Quirinus had been an evil person to her. However, now that all her memories had returned… She remembered everything that Quirinus had done to Elijah. The man was no longer the self-conscious, chubby boy she had known in middle school. Now, Quirinus was a manipulative, narcissistic, perverted person. He had many traits of a sociopath in him. He was a sick, evil, twisted person. Every day the man sp
“Where are we going now?” Felix sat in the passenger seat and stared intently out of the window. He did not know who Elijah and Sally were talking about, nor did he want to get to know them. He had never liked to meddle in other people’s affairs, nor did he enjoy gossip. His mind was filled with thoughts about Rebecca. If he knew the exact location where Rebecca and Luis were now, he would be the first to race over and save Rebecca! “Don’t rush.” As a man himself, Elijah naturally understood the urgency Felix felt in wanting to save his beloved woman. “We’re racing toward C Town as we speak.” Pierre sat in the driver’s seat and smiled as he said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Carson. I’m quite a good driver.” “I’ll definitely catch up to them before they meet.” Felix’s racing heart slowed down for a while when he heard what Pierre and Elijah had to say. However, it was brief. He pursed his lips. “You guys aren’t from C Town and might not have a complete understanding of it.
Felix did not say anything. Because if he were Elijah… he might not be able to be this generous. ———— C Town. “Driver, why are we still stuck here?” Luis had an ugly expression on his face as he sat in the cab and stared at the massive traffic jam in front of them. The driver frowned as he stared at the cars. “I heard that there’s a city-wide safety inspection today. Many huge companies are clearing out their cars now…” When he finished speaking, he gazed at Luis, who was sitting in the backseat. “What if you get out with your suitcase?” Luis frowned as he instinctively glanced at the suitcase at his feet. The size of the suitcase was the largest one available. Several air holes had been poked into the back of the suitcase. Inside it was… Rebecca, who he had drugged into unconsciousness. It was not that he was not sentimental, but it was because the woman was worth five hundred thousand dollars... The man had said he would pay five hundred thousand doll
Quirinus waited until nearly noon for Luis to arrive at the hotel. He had made multiple phone calls to Luis during this time. Each time, Luis had told him everything was going well, and it seemed that nothing was out of the ordinary. Bored, he sat on the couch and flicked through the news about the traffic jam on the television. Then, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. “Have you arrived at C Town yet?” The woman’s voice on the other end of the line was cold. “I told you I could get you everything you need. Why make me go through the trouble of coming to C Town?” “You caused me to end up the way I am today. It’s not too much for me to want to meet you and slap you, right?” Quirinus laughed coolly as he said in an even chillier voice, “Queenie Tate, do you remember what you promised me?” “You told me you would give me all the information required about Sally Summers to take her away from Elijah Moses as long as I helped you.” “But in reality?” “You’ve gotten me i
————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
