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
If Sally had a child with Elijah Moses... Then, she would be with Elijah for the rest of her life!...Sally was a little upset and assisted Elijah to leave the Xavier Family Village.As soon as they got to the entrance of the Summers Family Village, they ran into Jackson Summers, who had his hands full.Wynn Summers, eyes red from crying, followed close behind."Seems like one can’t avoid one’s enemy."Jackson sneered when he saw Sally and Elijah.He looked at Sally with a cold expression and said, "It's already shameful to marry a disabled person, you even went a step further and brought the disabled back without any shame. Why did Shawn Summers adopt such a shameless little girl?"Wynn took notice of the situation.She frowned and nudged Jackson, "Dad, don't mess with them. That blind man is something else."When her husband was locked up last night, his dislocated wrist was still causing him a lot of pain! Jackson snorted coldly, then glanced at Wynn, "Zachery Gora got
Elijah was touched by what Sally had just said.Sally was so innocent that all he wanted was to protect her.As she faced the ridicules and accusations of the mass, she was not thinking for herself. Instead, what she was worried about was whether he would be upset by their words.He took a deep breath and was just about to hold her hand and turn back when Shawn Summers' deep voice sounded by his ear."Sal, take Young Master Elijah home!"As soon as Shawn appeared, the focus of everyone's ridicule shifted from Sally to Shawn."Tsk tsk tsk, he still dares to show his face! The daughter that he raised since young married a blind man just like that!""That’s right, for the sake of his mother, he doesn't even care about her happiness.""Yeah, you can’t judge a book by its covers. He looks like an honest man, but in the end, he’d do anything for money..."The crowds’ comments got harsher as the situation developed. Sally's hand was clenched into a fist.Shawn saw how she reacted an
"Okay, let’s not talk about that."Elijah continued to speak in an indifferent tone, "The oldest lady in the village, Madam Zane, is ninety-three years old this year. She is still physically well, but she broke her leg two years ago and now walks with a limp. Dom from next door has been married for three years and is the father to two chubby babies. Both babies look exactly like Dom. The village chief's daughter is going to high school this year. She has maintained a very good academic record and hopes to become the second girl in the village to go to university. There is a stray dog named Cooper in the village. He wanders around the village every day. Whomever’s house it ends up around that day, he’ll eat their food scraps..."…Elijah expressionlessly recounted all the stories that Sally had told him that night.Jackson Summers' facial expression turned ugly and the surrounding villagers all lowered their heads.If it were not for Sally, how could this noble urbanite know so cle
The villagers that were present began to discuss among themselves, they all felt that Elijah& #39;s words made sense.Although he was a disabled person, at least he was better than Wynn Summers’ abusive husband that was getting locked up by the police every few other days?Jackson Summers said that Sally was not happy because she married a disabled person, but was his daughter happy in her current marriage?The surrounding villagers started talking after Elijah’s little speech, it also led to Jackson and Wynn& #39;s facial expressions turned ugly.Wynn gritted her teeth and said, "Why did you mention my husband all of a sudden? Although my husband is in jail again, he can protect me as soon as he gets out!"As she said that, she rolled her eyes at Sally. "Unlike you, who found yourself a disabled husband, who can’t protect you!""Is that the case?"Elijah smiled faintly.As soon as his voice fell, his figure appeared in front of Wynn, and Wynn received a slap on her face.Then
That was why he was particularly friendly toward Elijah.After the three of them arrived at Dom’s house, Sally started playing with the two babies who tried their best to pronounce "Sally".Dom got Elijah a cup of tea. "When are you planning to have a baby with Sally?"Elijah held onto the teacup, his eyes were locked onto Sally's face.Seeing how she was teasing the baby with a rattle, he could not help thinking, ‘What if we had a baby…’A smile rose on the man's face as he said, "Let's just go with the flow."If the seeds had sprouted, it should be protected.If it did not sprout, then he would work harder.Dom smirked and said, "Treat Sally well. Poor girl, she was thrown into our poor ravine when she was born."Dom took a sip of tea and continued talking, "I was ten years old when Sally was adopted. I picked up a small jade pendant in her swaddle.""I have loved watching TV shows since I was a kid, so I told my parents that this might be something that can prove Sally's i
Elijah, with his eyes shielded under a piece of black silk, remained seated calmly. He ate what he should; drank what he should.He completely ignored Wynn’s performance.Wynn took off her sweater and started taking off her skirt, revealing her greasy figure underneath.A flash of disgust swept across Elijah’s eyes underneath the black silk ribbon.However, he understood what she wanted to do. He kept quiet intentionally to prevent interrupting her.Wynn Summers stood unmoved from her spot—in only her bra and underwear—and stared at Elijah for a while.What an attractive man.Sally Summers got it easy now, did she not?If only Wynn knew this man sooner—he could be blind or so crippled that he could not move both his legs for all she cared—she would be willing to give herself up for this man!Despite laughing at Sally Summers’ marriage with her father, Wynn was actually green with envy!Wynn inhaled deeply and tiptoed to Elijah’s side.Eventually, she put her foot down and sn
How could Elijah be interested in a woman like Wynn?If he was truly the type of man who could not restrain himself from a woman, why would he retract himself after having a taste during the night of their wedding?She gritted her teeth and glared at Wynn. “You’re lying! You’re a liar! You’re trying to frame my hubby!”Wynn sneered. She looked at Sally as though Sally was a retard. “Me? Framing him?“Why would I sacrifice my innocence to frame a blind guy?“Also, what’s the point of me doing that? He’s blind! Is he worth the trouble?”Sally was so angry her lips were pouting aggressively. “You’re framing him for sure! You’re doing this on purpose!”Sally was never born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Therefore, she would not know the words to insult someone, especially not when she was on the verge of extreme anger. She could only glare at Wynn that burned with hatred.Wynn snickered.As expected, Sally was still her same old self—still as vulnerable as ever.Wynn even thou
————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
