Smiling, the director left. Sally pouted and glared at him. Elijah smiled lightly as he sat down on the bed. “Why, did I say anything wrong?” Still pouting, she made herself comfortable, placing her head on his lap. “Well, even if you’re right, you can’t be that blunt.” “Alright.” He lowered his head and ran his fingers through her hair. “I’ll be more subtle next time.” “That’s more like it…” It was possible that Sally’s health had deteriorated greatly after her miscarriage as she fell asleep shortly after laying down. Around two in the afternoon, a cacophony of noises rang out outside the research institute. The girl became awakened by the noise. “What’s that sound…” Elijah narrowed his eyes. “The troublemakers have probably arrived.” Groggy with sleep, Sally propped herself up and looked out the window. She could see Javier standing in the distance. He had actually come. Sally, who was standing by the bed, could feel the anger coursing through her. To be h

“Don’t kill anyone. However, a bonus will be given accordingly, depending on the seriousness of the person’s injuries.” “What about those insulting Mr. Seth Greene?” “Ignore them.” Dave, “...” “Alright!” Sally furrowed her brow when he hung up the phone. “I don’t think there’s a need to be so vicious.” The man narrowed his brows, a cold glint flashing in his deep, bottomless eyes. “They have to pay the price for their foul mouths.” Sally pursed her lips. She wanted to say more, but the door to the director’s office opened. Elijah made a shushing motion toward Sally. The director’s office was divided into two parts. Sally and Elijah were in the room where the director slept whilst working late shifts at the research institute, whereas the director had led Javier and Little May into the area where guests were normally received. A concealed door separated the two rooms from each other. Only a select few knew that the two antique paintings on the door were doors. Th

Sally took an involuntary step backward. There was no difference between Javier and a maniac. The way he looked at her was identical to the way Idiot Lynch looked at her. It was just as crazy, bloodthirsty, and sick. At this moment, the man behind her pulled her into his arms. Vicious resentment flashed through Javier’s eyes when he saw Elijah. He laughed coldly. “Aren’t your eyes good-looking? Why did you pretend to be blind?” Elijah smiled slightly. “Mr. Yates, aren’t you ruthless? Why did you pretend to be a paragon of virtue and learning?” Javier found himself unable to retaliate. In the end, he glared furiously at Elijah. “No matter how ruthless I am, it’s nothing compared to you!” “You used your riches to force Sal to marry you and wanted her to birth your child!” The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Who was he to do that? Why was he allowed to do whatever he desired and claim girls that other people had a crush on for himself just because he was rich?

Elijah draped his arm elegantly across Sally’s shoulders as his lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. “You hid away from her when she was at her worst and needed all the help she could get and refused to give her even a few heartfelt words of support. “However, when I helped her get through difficult times, you pop in and accuse me of using my money to force her into a marriage. You accuse me of not playing fair. Do you have no shame? “I remember you bought a car. How much did it cost? Six hundred thousand dollars.” “Sally’s grandmother also needed six hundred thousand dollars to pay for her treatment.” Javier’s face finally turned as white as a sheet. Sally’s lips pressed into a thin line. She remembered being impressed by that car. Javier would drive her home in that car when she was still working at the nursing home. He had even boasted to her that he had bought the car on his own, using the money he had earned. “It’s not that you can’t spare the six hundred thousa

The laptop in the girl’s arms fell to the ground with a thump. Little May hurriedly bent down to pick the laptop up and went over to bow down before Sally and Elijah. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I did not know the truth!” “I… I idolize Javier too, so I believed everything he had said!” “I did not expect…” She shut her eyes and stamped her foot. “Call me oblivious!’ “I’ll post a statement on Twitter clarifying that everything was fake!’ Her eyes reddened as she looked at Sally. “Miss Summers, please don’t blame me. Forgive me.” “I…” Sally wrinkled her brows when she saw the panicked, disappointed, and grieving state the girl was in. She was reminded of herself. She had acted the same when she realized Javier’s true colors. Then, she let it go. Everyone had to go through certain hardships to attain personal growth. She smiled at Little May. “One who does not know is not guilty. I don’t blame you.” Javier stood rooted to the spot; his hands curled tightly into fists

The man raised his hand to ruffle her hair. “It’s been so long. Are you still jealous?” Sally’s face turned crimson. “Who… who’s jealous? I’m not!’ “Anyway.” Elijah raised his eyebrows. “It’s time she ‘woke up’.” Sally was confused. “I thought she’s been in a coma ever since her accident. Didn’t the doctors say that there was nothing they could do?”“That’s not true.” Elijah shut his eyes. “She did not get in an accident, nor is she in a coma.” “I ordered it.” Sally was even more shocked.“Seth would only have an actual chance to return and help me run the company if something had happened to her.” “I would only have time to accompany you to Summers Family Village if he helped me run the company.” Still in shock, it took Sally a few moments before she finally understood everything. Thus, she asked the same questions as Pierre had asked back then. “Chelsea’s in perfect shape, why would she agree to pretend to be confined in the ICU for so long?” “She had to agree

Sally’s grip on her phone weakened as her hands began shaking. How shameless could a person get?Javier had compiled all of Elijah’s threats toward him in a video that he had posted online. Netizens who had been screaming at Sally and Seth were now screaming at Elijah too. Some volunteers also posted about how they had been beaten up on their way home from their protest at the research institute that afternoon. It must have been Seth or Elijah! When Elijah returned to the couch after his conference call, Sally passed him her phone. “Hubby, what should we do?” Elijah glanced at the phone. “Now’s not the time.” Sally glanced at him, confused. “What time?” The man took her into his arms and kissed her. “I meant that things have not progressed to the last stage yet.” “I’ve never liked fighting useless battles.” Sally raised her arms to circle his neck. Her large, dark eyes fluttered as she looked at him and said, “I still don’t understand.” “You don’t need to underst

The clean, fresh smell of his body flooded her nostrils, and she could hear the light sounds of his breathing. Sally found it even harder to fall asleep. She fidgeted in his arms. “Stop that.” The man wrinkled his brows as he spoke in a low voice. “I can’t sleep,” She pouted, feeling aggrieved. “Close your eyes, and you’ll fall asleep.” She shut her eyes, but said mischievously, “I’ve shut them, but I still can’t fall asleep.” He laughed lightly as he lay a kiss on her lips. “Be good, and you’ll fall asleep soon.” It was quiet inside the bedroom. The bright moonlight cast through the window, stretching the shadows of the things inside the bedroom. Even with her eyes shut, Sally still could not fall asleep. In the end, she gave up and opened her eyes. The man’s features seemed even more defined under the moonlight. She felt her attention drifting as she gazed at him. After a while, she jolted back to her senses and smacked herself lightly across the face.

————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
