Sally let out a deep breath and gritted her teeth in a cold smile. “You said it.”With a smack, Sally’s palm landed directly onto Wynn’s face. “You can’t say that me hitting you in the face would cause danger to the child in your stomach, right?“I’m studying medicine. You won’t be able to fool me.”Wynn was stunned after being hit.She completely did not think that… Sally, who naively lowered her head and studied no matter how much she mocked her or cursed at her in the past, actually retaliated for the first time!She actually dared to hit her face!Sally’s head was held high and her gaze was cold as she glared at Wynn. She raised her hand in preparation to throw out another slap.Wynn subconsciously stepped back.A man as tall as a horse with muscles all over his body stood in front of Wynn, blocking her as he glared fiercely at Sally. “You dare to hit my wife? You must be tired of living!”As he spoke, the man raised his arm, about to smack Sally’s face.The man’s hand ha

Elijah narrowed his eyes slightly.To others, he could not see a thing, but he could actually see everything clearly through the translucent black silk ribbon!The man extended a long arm and pulled Sally into his embrace, holding her tightly and protectively. “So it’s true that low-class places have low-class people.“Everyone has the young and the elderly at home. Bullying the two of us—husband and wife—aren’t any of you afraid of retribution?”As if to answer Elijah’s words, the moment he finished speaking, explosive thunder sounded from the dark sky!The gutless did not dare move another muscle.The ones with guts still pressed closer to Sally and Elijah.However, these people were still surrounding them, but none of them dared to hit Elijah.After all, Wynn’s husband was a huge muscle-head, and even he could be subdued.“Beat them up! Once you’ve beaten them, I’ll treat everyone to wine!”Wynn clutched her husband’s dislocated wrist, so distressed that she nearly cried!

“I’m fine.”Elijah smiled lightly. He reached out a hand and caressed Sally’s head. “Do you still want to eat noodles?”The moment the words were said, Sally’s stomach grumbled disappointingly.The answer was obvious.The man smiled lightly. Rolling his wheelchair as he held Sally, with Ol’ Joe’s help, they entered the noodle restaurant.The noodle restaurant’s owner had been standing in front of the door watching the commotion earlier.Seeing this group of people come into his own restaurant, he hurriedly greeted them warmly. “This handsome little man sure is amazing!”The restaurant owner passed a menu to Sally as he exclaimed, “That husband of Wynn Summers has gotten used to walking around town like he owns it. Never thought he would encounter such a tough little sprout!”Sally often came to this restaurant to have noodles when she was in high school in this town, so she was very familiar with the owner.Her brows drew together as she ordered. “Really?”“Yeah.”The owner

Jane glanced at Elijah in the distance. Her expression was a little unseemly as she lowered her voice, “Next door’s Jackson Summers has been arguing with your uncle recently, spreading word around the village every day that your uncle doesn’t have the ability and relied on marrying you off to a crippled man to cure your grandmother.”She looked at Sally, face carrying accusation. “Why didn’t you let us know before you came?“These few days, the village-folk have all been treating our family as a joke. Because of this, your uncle has recently locked himself in the house, refusing to leave. Bringing Mr. Moses here at this time, you don’t think the situation is messy enough?”Jackson Summers was Wynn Summers’ father.After Jane said this, Sally now understood why Wynn would purposely come over to pick a fight in town earlier.So, it was a conflict between Jackson Summers and her uncle.She pressed her lips together. “Then what should I do…”Elijah had taken out time to accompany he

Sally excitedly held his head and planted a kiss on his face. “Then, I’m going now!“Hubby, sit obediently and don’t move about, okay!”“Uh-huh.”After confirming that Elijah would not get angry, Sally finally joyfully rolled up her pants and ran into the river.“Blair, you can’t catch fish like that!“Watch me!”…Elijah sat on the riverbank. Seeing the way the girl’s eyes shone brightly as she played with Blair, the corners of his mouth lifted in a smile.How long had it been since he was this happy?He could not remember either.It seemed that after his older sister died in the fire thirteen years ago, he had never felt like this again.It was Sally who made him feel that living still had so many possibilities.The man smiled lightly and picked up his phone.“Sir, I’ve already notified the local police.“Wynn Summers’ husband already has a record. He’s done many more bad deeds than we’ve received news of.“The police are involved now. If nothing unexpected happens, he

Seeing her dejected eyes, Elijah’s heart sunk a little.He smiled lightly. “Though I can’t see, I can still touch.”Sally pressed her lips together. “Hubby, the fish is slippery and smelly. You… don’t mind?”The man shook his head indifferently.The dejection in Sally’s eyes disappeared completely.She reached out a hand and grasped Elijah’s, pulling it into the bucket.However, that fish was very sly. Just as her hand, holding Elijah’s, bumped into it, the fish swam to the other side. When it was bumped into again, it swam away again.Finally, somehow, Sally was so agitated that she dropped the entire bucket.The place they were at was not far from the river either.The fish hopped out of the bucket and jumped straight into the river, gone.Sally pressed her lips together. “It got away…“Never mind. I’ll go catch another!”The girl took a deep breath and stood up, about to dash into the river.Elijah raised his hand and held hers. “Catch some tomorrow. I’m a little tired

By the time she put down the phone, Shawn had already drunk so much that he was collapsed on the bed-stove.On the other hand, Elijah was still sitting there indifferently, eating peanuts.Sally was shocked beyond words.Her uncle was the best drinker in these parts!Yet Elijah could get her uncle to drunkenly collapse!“Are you sleepy?”The man asked in his deep voice. “You don’t actually have to wait for me.”“No, I want to wait for you!”Sally kept her phone, then got up and helped Elijah back to the room. “There are no beds in the village, only bed-stoves. I have to look after you. If you can’t get used to it, I can add some blankets for you in the middle of the night too.”Elijah laughed lightly and pulled her into the bedding. “With you here, I can sleep anywhere.”Sally’s face reddened. “Real… really?”“Of course.”He held her face, and with the strength of alcohol, he kissed her madly.Sally was kissed so hard that she was breathless. “Hubby, sleep earlier…“I’ll

When Sally brought Elijah to Old Man Shane’s house, Old Man Shane was still asleep.The scruffy old man even froze for quite a while upon seeing Sally support a man whose eyes were covered by a black ribbon inside. Finally, he smiled. “Here for a consultation?” Sally nodded. “For… obstetrics.”In the morning, she had already let Javier greet Old Man Shane in advance and said it was to check on obstetrics. Old Man Shane made a noise of acknowledgment before turning around and bringing Sally and Elijah over to a dirty table.He placed a small pillow on the table. “Stretch your arm over.”Sally did as she was told and stretched her arm over.When Old Man Shane placed his hand on her wrist’s pulse, his brows scrunched up violently. “This pulse of yours…”Sally’s eyes widened. “What’s wrong?”A thread of uneasiness flashed in Old Man Shane’s eyes. “Nothing.“If you want to have a child, it’d actually be quite easy.”After speaking, he lifted his eyes and glanced at Elijah. “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
