Elijah frowned and pulled her into his arms. "Sal, I wanted to talk to you about this tonight..."He asked Pierre to dismiss the staff just so they could have some alone time.However... it was still too late."Is it because I found out?"Sally gave a wry smile, and struggled violently to get away from him., "If I hadn't found out, were you planning to keep lying to me?""No."He clasped her tightly in his arms. "Sally, listen, no! I have my reasons, and I didn't mean to lie to you. Before we got married, I had already pretended to be blind for thirteen years. It was impossible for me to tell you everything when we first met."Sally closed her eyes. "Essentially, you still don't trust me."She shook off his hand and screamed, "Chelsea Greene told me that day that she knew you better than I did, and she asked me what I thought of your eyes.""I thought she was saying it because she wanted to cause a rift between the two of us. But now, I just realized that she was showing off.

When Sally walked out the door, Elijah grabbed her hand.She turned her head and looked at him with a blank expression. "Let go."Elijah frowned and looked at her, then he stuffed an umbrella into her hand. "Don't catch a cold."Sally smiled bitterly. "I find it surprising that Mr. Moses had an outsider like me in his thoughts.""You are not an outsider."Elijah looked at her deeply and said, "Don’t come back too late."Sally gave a wry smile, threw the umbrella on the ground, and rushed out into the rain.He... did not stop her.Even if he did try to stop her, he would not be able to.Elijah closed his eyes, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.…It rained heavily in the city at night.Sally walked in the heavy rain.Behind her, a young man dressed in a dark blue shirt was holding an umbrella and following her.Sally gave him a wry smile and said, "Go home, don't follow me."Blair shook his head and continued to follow her.The degree of his stubbornness was the s

Sally rolled her eyes at Seth and urged Blair to go shower.Seth found the interaction interesting, so he leaned against the sofa and stared at Sally's face. "You won’t even consider divorcing him and marrying me?"He had previously thought that she was a servant in Elijah’s household. At that time, he was surprised that Elijah had hired such a servant.He did not know that Sally was Elijah’s wife until he received a call from Elijah not too long ago.He had asked about her identity many times before, but Elijah and Jameson Chinn never revealed anything. This made him uncomfortable.He chuckled and continued to ask, “Sally, think about it. I'm not lying to you, and I will treat you well!"Sally flattened her lips and ignored him.After walking in the rain for so long, she had calmed down.Regardless of how angry she was, the thought of divorcing Elijah never popped up in her mind.Divorce was a big deal. Before getting married, her uncle and aunt told her that no matter what h

“I still have another two bottles of aged wine.” Sally pursed her lips together and hesitated for a moment before nodding her head. Thus, they went up to the balcony together. It had just finished raining, and the air was musky and pleasant. Seth retrieved two chairs and a table, where he placed the bottles of wine. The two sat and took sips from their bottles. “So, tell me, why are you so sad? Isn’t it just about his eyes?”After they had been sipping in silence for some time, Seth began bringing the topic of conversation back to Elijah. Sally shook her head. “This is an issue of whether he trusts me or not, and he doesn’t.” Eyes red, she took another gulp from the bottle. “When I did not tell him everything, he told me that the most important thing between a couple is trust.“I trust him fully, but he…” Seth chuckled. “Sal, I’ve got to speak on behalf of Elijah for this.“I don’t think he intended to keep it from you, but he had no choice…” Sally pouted. “What co

The tips of Sally’s fingers were glued to the ridges of the bottle. She bit down on her lip as memories of the time she had spent with Elijah flashed before her eyes. It was wrong to say he treated her well. Rather, he treated her insanely well. He coaxed her, teased her, and never let her feel the slightest bit of aggravation. As for Liam, Joan, or even Wynn, who was from her hometown, he had taken care of every person who had wronged her in the past. He had done so many things that benefited her.Why did she feel that she… did not have a place in his heart? Yet, if she held a place in his heart, why… Was it the way Seth had phrased it… had she not given him enough time? Indeed, she was a bit impulsive before. However, now that she had calmed down, she felt even more confused than before. “Let time take care of what you are unable to make sense of.” Seth sighed and clinked his bottle with Sally’s. A light “ting” rang out. Sighing, he said, “Elijah has not ha

The man whistled as he went down to welcome him. “Who would have thought that I would ever have the honor of witnessing Elijah Moses driving himself around!” Elijah rolled his eyes. “Where is she?” Seth pursed his lips in the direction of the balcony. “She just fell asleep.” A petite woman was sprawled across the table, fast asleep. Her long eyelashes fanned out across her eyes, adding to her beauty.Raising his hand and running his fingers over her eyes, swollen from crying, Elijah heaved a heavy sigh. The next second, he scooped her into his arms and left the balcony to enter the room. Seth leaned lazily against the doorframe. “It’s late. Do you really want to bring her back at this hour?” “If I were you, I wouldn’t tire myself out like that. Why don’t you two stay the night, and discuss things tomorrow?” Elijah furrowed his brow in thought before walking towards the master bedroom with Sally in his arms. Seth, “...” “Hey!” He went after Elijah. “Can you be mor

Elijah’s grip on the phone tightened silently. He knew it. His Sal would not have suddenly started doubting his sight, and even used such tactics to “test” him. So, this was the mastermind behind all this. He laughed coldly as he deleted the message. After deleting the message, he remained deep in thought for a few moments, Sally’s phone in his hand. Then, he blocked Javier’s number. The man climbed back into bed with satisfaction once he was done, soon falling asleep with Sally in his arms. That night, Sally slept soundly, deeply. The sun rose, as usual, the next morning. Sally’s eyes opened promptly. She habitually pushed away from the man’s arm wrapped around her body and stretched as she prepared to get out of bed, wash up, and prepare breakfast downstairs. However, when she got out of bed, she realized that the interior decorations… were different? Her mind struggled to make sense of it for a few seconds before memories of the last night flooded back into h

He said… the two of them had taken over his master bedroom? They? Who had she been with? The man upstairs… Seth glanced at her. “Why did you come down yourself? Where’s Elijah?” Sally furrowed her brows, a hint of premonition flowing through her heart… Just then, the sound of a door opening could be heard from the room upstairs. Sally subconsciously lifted her head and looked towards the stairs-- A man, dressed wholly in black, made his way down the stairs slowly. His figure was long and slender, and he emanated a regal aura. Every movement he made as he walked down the stairs was so exquisitely elegant it could make one scream. The black sash that used to hang over his defined face was gone. Although that took away some of this mysteriousness, his sharp gaze made him seem even more arrogant. Sally’s mind went blank for a few seconds as she stared at him. Finally, she came to her senses. It was not Seth who had been lying in bed with her, but Elijah! A glint o

————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
