As long as Sally truly lost her baby, it was worth getting beaten up! Javier’s smile made Seth angrier than ever. He continued punching Javier’s face while saying, “What did Sally ever do to you? Why are you treating her this way?” “She was willing to drink something you gave her because she trusted you! And what did you do with her trust, you hurt her with it?” “I can’t let her give birth to an *sshole’s son.” “It’ll ruin her life!” Javier glared at Seth; his gaze was utterly crazy. “If it makes you feel better, you can continue beating me. But no matter how hard you hit me; Sal’s lost her baby!” “I’m happy!” Seth gritted his teeth and threw another punch. Javier lost his balance and fell onto the ground. However, he was still laughing. “Beat me, I don’t care!” It had been a while since Seth was this angry. Gritting his teeth again, he kicked Javier on his body. “Don’t you dare think that this is over.” “Let me tell you, this is just the beginning!” After t
At the hospital. A flushed Sally leaned into her bed as she watched Elijah, who was sitting on the window pane, massaging her legs. “It really doesn’t hurt much, you don’t have to…” From the moment Evonne left, he had been massaging her legs silently for nearly an hour. Even if he wasn’t tired of doing it, she was tired of letting him do it. Although he was right—her calves did hurt before this—they felt warm the moment right after being massaged like that for nearly an hour. She did not feel anything other than warmth in her calves. “Elijah.” She pursed her lips and called his name softly. He stayed silent. “Darling.” The man finally looked up at her. “Say something.” Sally looked at him and bit her lips. “Your silence is making me nervous…” “I know it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have lied to you about going home, I shouldn't have lied about seeing Old Man Shane, I shouldn’t have lied about seeing Javier, I shouldn’t have had the drink he gave me…”“I know it’s my
He placed his chin on her shoulder. “I’m mad at myself. How could I let the situation become like this?“Originally…”He closed his eyes, voice low and filled with sorrow. “Originally, I got Aunt Leigh to make your favorite dishes and had the butler dismiss all the servants, all because I wanted to explain to you the issue regarding my eyes.“Before I accompanied you to your village, I already made Jameson go overseas to contact the best ophthalmology team. I wanted to get them to come up with a plan to use as an excuse for my eyes to logically ‘recover’.“However, I didn’t want to lie to you. I wanted to tell you, before everyone knew my eyes had recovered, that my eyes actually never had a problem to begin with.“But in the end, I was one step behind Javier.”Sally held him. Hearing his sorrowful voice, her heart felt as uncomfortable, as if it had been violently struck by something.When they were arguing the previous night, she had felt that him saying he had already planned
The video of Seth Greene beating somebody up went viral overnight.A rich guy, sleeping with a friend’s wife, miscarriage, and violently beating up a doctor.All of those were elements that when combined were enough to make the popcorn-eating crowd go crazy!In the early morning of the next day, while Sally was leaning on the headboard, eating the rice porridge Elijah was feeding her, a call came from Grandfather Moses.She picked up her phone and glanced at the caller, then turned suspiciously to Elijah. She lowered her voice to ask, “You told your grandfather I miscarried?”The man shook his head. “No.”Sally pressed her lips together. Only then did she relax and accept the call.However, just as the call connected, the phone was snatched away by Elijah.“Continue eating. I’ll speak to him.”Sally made an “ah” sound, but before she could react, Elijah had already walked out the door, holding the phone.She leaned on the headboard, eating her porridge as she listened to Elij
“Correct.”Elijah’s eyes carried some gratification as he looked at Sally. “As for this title…“In A City, aside from the Greene family and the people around me, nobody else knows of the relationship between me and Seth.“Even the Moses family doesn’t know, so how could this blogger know that Seth and I are friends?“If it’s not Javier directing them, then how could this blogger called Little May know about the relationship between me and Seth?”Sally leaned on the headboard as a cold chill ran through her body.From yesterday until now, Javier had repeatedly opened her eyes to just how low a human could go.In the past, she had never viewed him like this before.He had excellent grades in school and was a role model to entire school.Yet, after starting work, he would actually do someone like this…Previously, she had always thought that Javier had misunderstood Elijah, but she never thought that this misunderstand would actually make Javier think of scheming against her lik
Sally wrinkled her brows. She raised her gaze to look at Lucille. “Aunt Lucille, what do you mean?”“What do I mean?”Lucille helped Grandfather Moses into the room, smiling coldly. Her eyes were full of derision. “You’re still taking us for a fool, are you?“The entire world already knows now, yet you still want to hide the matter regarding you and that man that the Greene family adopted?“Acting like some pure innocent, saying ‘Grandfather, Grandfather’ on the surface but secretly not respecting the Moses family. If you really thought of him as your grandfather, could you have messed around with someone else and gotten knocked up?”Sally’s hands gripped the blanket tightly.However, she still did her best to smile politely at Grandfather Moses. “Grandfather, you also don’t believe me?”The old man scoffed coldly and sat in a chair. “If you want us to believe you, bring out some proof that the child you miscarried was the Moses family’s!”Sally pressed her lips together. “Gran
“If it weren’t for us coming to see him, he might even have forgotten that he still had a grandfather and an uncle!”The color of Grandfather Moses’ eyes darkened slightly.“In this aspect, it is indeed my fault.”The corner of Elijah’s lips lifted with a trace of coldness as he stepped slowly into the ward. He sat down by Sally’s side. “Yesterday, when I announced to the public that my eyes were healed, I should have made a call home.”The man raised his hand and picked up the apple on the table as he leisurely started to peel it for Sally. “But yesterday, Sally had a miscarriage and was upset. I was taking care of her throughout it all, so I forgot.”Grandfather Moses’ face paled.Lucille rolled her eyes. “What do you mean? Are you saying that your wife, Sally, is more important than the Moses family?”Elijah lowered his head and continued elegantly peeling the apple. “If that’s the way you interpret my words, Aunt Lucille, I won’t refute.”Lucille instantly exploded in anger
When Lucille heard Elijah mention Daniel, her face instantly changed."Elijah, how can you slander Uncle Daniel this way? Do you actually think your uncle is the type of person who would do such a thing?”Elijah sneered at her and said nothing.Mr. Moses Sr. frowned, turned his head and glanced at Lucille, "Which one of you is telling the truth?”Lucille gritted her teeth and started to panic.‘How did Elijah find out about KS Media?’She was the one who specifically instructed KS Media not to make it too obvious so that no one would find out.‘Did Elijah find out which media company was responsible for adding fuel to the fire in one night? And did he also figure out that KS Media was working with the Daniel Corporation?’‘Did he already know about it in the first place or does he really possess such great powers?’Even though there were many questions running through Lucille’s head, she still had to keep a calm front in front of Mr. Moses Sr. as she replied calmly, "Father, E
————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
