Sally frowned and said, "Those incidents must somehow be related to you. If you don't promise to spare them of their misery, I won't eat."Elijah was angry, but he could not help but laugh.‘As always, this girl is being stubborn and one-track minded.’He got onto the wheelchair gracefully and moved toward the door. "In that case, you’ll be starving for a while."As soon as Elijah's voice fell, the bedroom door slammed shut.Sally was hurt by Elijah’s words and actions.‘He... does not care about me?’An inexplicable and aggrieved emotion formed inside of her.Sally tried her best to stop the tears welling up in her eyes from falling.Why did she feel wronged? She should have known since a long time ago that Elijah married her not because he liked her.She was just a wife that he had paid for.She should have followed the plan and played the role of an obedient wife–one that served him three meals a day and took care of him for the rest of her life.She should bear his chil
Sally was a woman of her word.She said that she would not eat until Elijah gave in, and sure enough, she did not eat anything for the entire night.The next morning, Aunt Leigh came out of Sally’s room, frowning. "Sir, Madam still refused to eat anything."Elijah was deeply frustrated with the situation.‘Why is this girl being so stubborn?’He squinted and said, "What exactly did she say?""She said that..."Aunt Leigh chose her words cautiously, "She said that if you don’t admit to your mistakes and don’t agree to her request, she will starve herself to death..."After a sharp cracking sound, the fork in Elijah's hand snapped into two pieces.The whole villa was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop."Be my guest! She can starve herself to death then!"Elijah gritted his teeth and said, "Let’s see how long she can last!"He should cure her of her stubbornness!"Mad as a hornet."When Elijah's voice fell, Blair, who was wearing a dark blue top, picked up his spoon and
Indeed, love can change someone!"What do I pay you for?"Elijah rolled his eyes and said, "Think of a way to get some food in her."Pierre was speechless. Only after a while did he come to his senses and answered, "Yes, Sir!"..."Sally, have some milk!"Early the next morning, Blair knocked on Sally’s door, holding a large glass of warm milk in his hand.Sally pursed her lips; she did not dare to even look at the milk. Instead, she lowered her head and scrolled through her iPad to find the movie that she had agreed to watch with Blair previously. "Come here."Blair smiled, put the milk on the table, and went over.Grrrrrrrr.Sally’s belly growled loudly.Blair heard this.He placed the milk in front of Sally again. "Sally, have some milk!"Sally shook her head and refused."But... you are hungry."Blair had a serious expression on his face.Sally took a deep breath, then turned her face away from him to lean against the bay window. "Let’s start the movie."Yesterday
Pierre hastily nodded as he walked out the door. “Yes, yes, yes! I’ll arrange it at once!”8am.Aunt Leigh pushed open Sally’s room door, beaming. She had a fruitcake that was extremely enticing in her hands. “Madam, I just learned to bake this fruitcake. Could you oblige me and have a taste?”Sally smiled as she refused. “My teeth haven’t been great recently. I can’t eat sweet things.”8.10.The broad-armed and round-waisted Ol’ Joe knocked and opened Sally’s door holding a plate of sliced fruit. “Madam, this is fruit from overseas was sent by Mr. Moses Sr. Oblige Mr. Moses Sr. and have some, won’t you?”Sally massaged the space between her eyebrows and opened her mouth. “Put it into the fridge then. I don’t want to eat it.”8.30.One of the villa’s security guards who was familiar with Sally opened Sally’s room door, face full of tears as he held a roasted chicken. “Madam, my beloved pet chicken took things too hard today and flew into the oven, killing itself. I really can’t
His voice was already low and magnetic. With this dose of adoration added to his tone, it made one’s heart tingle even more.Sally lowered her head, unsure of what to say at the moment.Elijah laughed helplessly and patted her on the back. “Go change your clothes.”Sally stilled. “Change my clothes for what?”He teased her on purpose. “To eat.”The girl hastily and solemnly shook her head. “I’ve already said I won’t eat.”“You’re sure?”“I’m sure.”Elijah sighed lightly, voice carrying a slight disappointment. “I won’t make things difficult for you. If you really don’t want to go…“I’ll get Pierre to let Calvin Lewis know that he doesn’t have to wait anymore. You won’t be going.”Sally’s eyes instantly lit up!Calvin Lewis!Elijah was going to bring her to eat with Calvin Lewis?!She jumped straight out of his arms. “I’ll go change!”“Slow down.”The man helplessly reminded her softly, “Your leg is still hurt.”At this moment, Sally could not be bothered about the wound
Jameson stilled slightly, then subconsciously lifted his head to glance at Elijah. “You guys?”“Yes.”Elijah indifferently lifted his teacup and took a light sip. “Sally and I.”Jameson was not a fool.He thought for a moment and managed to guess the meaning of Elijah’s words.He coughed lightly, then lifted his eyes to look at Sally. “Sal.”Sally stopped her chewing movement, lifted her head, and looked at him.Jameson was a little helpless. “Me firing Javier was my own idea. It has nothing to do with Elijah.”He thought for a moment, then furrowed his brows. “Well, it does have something to do with him but not that much.”Sally stared at him, shocked. “Javier was fired by you?”Previously, in the hospital, the nurse had told her that after Javier was fired by the hospital, he found a small clinic to work at.The small clinic’s boss was also forced by Elijah’s misused authority to fire Javier.However, if this clinic’s boss was Jameson…Jameson would not come to firing Ja
“Mr. Moses said that he wanted Joan to study at a boarding school abroad to learn how to behave.“I saw that Joan’s mom was really reluctant to part with her, and I was also... a little reluctant.“This child has been spoiled by us. Ever since she was young, she knew no rules, and she’s been disrespectful to you so many times…“So, I took it upon myself to get her admitted into a special ward at the mental hospital using a fake psychiatric evaluation. “She won’t suffer, she won’t be able to escape and be disrespectful to you, and Joan’s mother and I can still see her…”Calvin’s words shocked Sally speechless.What kind of ultimate bullcrap was this?In order to be able to see their daughter every day, they stopped her from going abroad and instead checked her into a mental hospital?Seeing through Sally’s thoughts, Calvin coughed lightly. “The place that Joan is at is a room that I paid money to have specially made. It’s a hospital room that’s like a hotel.“But since she was
The butler paused, then raised his eyes to stare at Elijah.Only then did Sally realize that her response had been a little too enthusiastic.She coughed lightly, then carefully sat onto the chair. Her large black eyes stared at him pitifully. “Hubby, can we go stop Javier?“Javier was one of the few people from my high school who had good results. It wasn’t easy for him to get out of the village. If he goes back now, he’d be ridiculed.“Moreover, he can actually become a good doctor. We can’t let him get stuck in that small town.”Her earnest expression made a smile flash through Elijah’s eyes beneath his black ribbon.However, his face was still cold. “You want to stop him only because of these reasons?”“Of course.” Sally grabbed his arm, shaking it gently. “Hubby, you have to trust me.“Even if I did worship Javier a little in the past, he’s just my school senior. I absolutely, positively just don’t want his talents to be forever lost.”Elijah could not resist the smile
————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
