“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
“Right!”Luis smiled in a flattering manner. “I’ve fed her the drug according to your orders. She’s still unconscious now.“She didn’t shed a tear nor make a sound on the way here, but this woman’s character is too strong. If she wakes up, she might harm you.”Quirinus furrowed his eyebrows and walked up with caution. He weighed the silver suitcase in his hand. Only after determining that it was the weight of a woman did he gradually let his guard down. “You’re really so easily giving me this woman who escaped marriage with you?”Luis showed a pleasing smile. “Of course.“You’re giving a lot of money!“I’ve thought about it. You only want a night anyway. Once today is over, I won’t give her the cold shoulder either.“This money can be used for the down payment and renovation of our future marital home!”These words of Luis were spoken sincerely and vulgarly. No matter how suspicious Quirinus was, he could not help but give in to this man’s shamelessness.He furrowed his eyebro
Quirinus did not move anymore.He did not dare to move.The faint pain that radiated from his neck told him that this time… Sally was for real.Her cold and ruthless eyes as well as the merciless actions of her hand caused his heart to start beating frantically.It was not that he was unafraid of death. It was that he had previously known very well that Sally was the type of person who was kind by nature. Whatever she did was just to scare others and threaten them.She would not really want to kill someone.Sally was a doctor, after all.However, at this moment, he could clearly feel the intent to kill that emanated from Sally’s body.He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. “Sally, calm down a little.”“There’s no way that I can calm down!”Sally bit her lip, her eyes icy as she glared at Quirinus. “Regardless of the things you’ve done to me, I never wanted to kill you. I could just avoid meeting you completely.“As long as you couldn’t touch me or hurt me, I would
The first thing Elijah saw was the fresh blood on Sally’s hand.Without hesitation, he immediately pulled Sally into his arms and carefully clasped her hand. “Where are you injured?”“The injured one is me. Me!”Quirinus, who was being held on the ground by Pierre, continued to hold his bleeding hand as he wailed, “I’m going to die! I’m going to die!”Elijah completely blocked out all of Quirinus’ cries.He held Sally’s hand as he checked her thoroughly from top to bottom. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief. “You’re really not hurt.”“I already said I could do it.”Earlier, when they had cut Luis off on the road, it was Sally who took the initiative to suggest she hide in the suitcase and pretend to be the drugged Rebecca.It was not only Elijah who disapproved of her suggestion, even Pierre and Felix disapproved.Felix even took it upon himself to try and squeeze into the suitcase. However, he was 1.85 meters tall. If he wanted to squeeze into the suitcase, he w
Noah’s Hotel, Room 2101.Queenie Tate was leaning on the couch, one leg crossed over the other. She leisurely fiddled with her intricate nails as she glanced blandly at the security guard in front of her. “When exactly are my sister and sister-in-law coming?“I’ve been waiting for so long and I’m in a rush now. My plane is still waiting for me.”After saying this, the woman even gracefully threw a wink at the guard. “Why don’t you chat with me for a while? I’m bored to death!”The guard’s face remained cold as he coolly stood guard at her side.Queenie had made it awkward for herself. She turned away and leaned on the couch as she resumed playing with her phone.Her assistant had just sent her a few video clips…She smiled mildly as she watched them. A meaningful smile lifted the corners of her lips.At this moment, the door to room 2101 was pushed open.Queenie raised her head to look toward the noise.At the entrance stood Elijah who was dressed in black and the svelte Sall
“But did you think I wouldn’t be able to escape from your grasp this time?” She laughed and glared coolly at Elijah and Sally. “I know you think you’ve won and that there’s no way I can escape this time.“But.”She elegantly turned on the television and displayed the video on her phone onto the screen. “But you never expected me to have this.” Sally froze when she saw what was playing on the television screen. It was because the screen showed an image of her holding a knife to Quirinus’ neck. On-screen, she could be seen walking with a knife to Quirinus’ neck. The scalpel had already cut a thin line across Quirinus’ neck and caused blood to ooze from the wound. … That was the scene of her controlling Quirinus downstairs after she got out of the suitcase just now! The video was in a split-screen format. There were a total of eight cameras placed at different angles. They had clearly captured the scene of her putting a knife to Quirinus’ neck. Sally curled her hands int
————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
