What Elijah had just said only served to confuse Sally even more.

She pursed her lips as she looked at him and said, “So, what you’re saying is… not only does she look like your sister, but someone also… brainwashed her with your sister’s thoughts?”

Elijah remained silent.

However, his silence only confirmed his thoughts.

Sally shook her head. “That’s impossible…”

She was a med student.

She knew that there was no way to completely transfer a dead person’s memories into another person’s mind with today’s medical technology.

Not even hypnosis worked that way.

Back in high school, her teacher had taught her the elimination method. By removing all impossible options, the remaining one would be the correct answer, no matter how ridiculous it seemed.

Thus, the girl pursed her lips and said, “Hubby, I think there might be a possibility that… your sister might still be alive.”

This was the only way to explain it.

Elijah would not have told Zoey Williams the inside jokes h

    She was not going to overthink it! After all, she was still a patient! She had to remain positive!With that, she rolled off the bed and skipped over to where Blair was standing. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to splash about!" It was mid-afternoon, and the sun was beating down mercilessly. Sally and Blair laughed as they watered the plants and sprayed each other with the hose. Elijah looked at them quietly from the study's window, which was on the second floor.Thirteen-year-old memories resurfaced. Back then... She had done the same thing, accompanying him as they ran playfully around the house and gardens. She had protected him after their parents had passed away, which enabled him to remain innocent and full of life even at the age of thirteen. However, after that… He shut his eyes. If it had not been for Sally, he would not have felt any warmth in the world.Sighing, he took the photograph and brushed his thumb gently across the woman’s face. “Are you… still ali

    Sally spent half a month recuperating in the Moses house. Half a month later, the minute she had gotten Jameson’s approval, she immediately cleared her leave with the school. She woke up early on the day of her return to school, walking down the stairs energetically with her bag in hand. “You’re up early this morning, Madam.” Aunt Leigh smiled as she brought breakfast to the table. “Are you returning to school today?” Sally sat down at the table, not even pausing to place her bag aside. “Yeah, I go back to class today!” “I’ve been stuck at home for so long, I’ve nearly grown mouldy!” “Really?” Dressed in his suit, Elijah buttoned his cuffs as he walked down the revolving staircase. “Come and let me smell you and see if you’ve grown mouldy.”Sally rolled her eyes at him and lowered her head to take another bite. Elijah smiled as he continued his descent and sat down opposite her. His gaze fell on her bag, which she insisted on having with her even as she ate. “Are you

    Her maths lecturer glared at her. “You’ve been on sick leave for so long, and you’re still late on your first day back!” “Go to your seat!” “I’m so sorry.” Sally hurried over to her seat after apologizing to her lecturer. “Check that out. Ever since Williams came, all our lecturers and classmates have fallen in love with her and aren’t as jovial to you anymore.” Evonne’s mouth twitched as she passed Sally a tissue to wipe her sweat away. “What a fox she is. She’s even managed to turn our maths lecturer into her play-toy.” Sally did not quite understand what Evonne meant and furrowed her brows in confusion. She turned her head and was just about to ask for clarification when she saw a girl turn her head around to stare at her. When their eyes met, Zoey Williams smiled at Sally before returning to her original position to listen to the lecture. Sally’s eyes widened in shock. “Why… why is she here?” “She transferred a few days ago, something about being on an exchange

    When Evonne brought that up, Sally realized that there were faint scratches on Evonne’s face. She scrunched her brows together as she raised a hand to gently stroke her face. “These…” “I just got in a fight with them.” Evonne dodged her hand. “Zoey’s been here for a week, but I didn’t tell you because I was afraid it might affect your mood while you recovered at home.” Evonne simmered indignantly when she saw the crowd around Zoey grow larger. “What blasphemy!” “You haven’t been to class for half a month, it’s really impressive that you only got two questions wrong in the quiz.” “They’ve been to every lecture, there’s nothing to be proud of!” Sally pursed her lips and ruffled Evonne’s hair, copying what Elijah always did to soothe her. “Oh, you.” “What’s there to be annoyed about?” “Well, you used to be the student representative, as well as the popular kid.” “I hate these fence-sitters!” Sally felt that Evonne was overthinking things. “To be honest, I’ve never re

    Evonne’s hands curled into fists. “That b*tch!” She had done it on purpose! Mentioning that there were two solutions and suggesting that a second student should write it out. She knew that their physics lecturer particularly favored Sally!She had wanted to embarrass Sally in front of their physics lecturer! “Sit down!” After watching Zoey write out the correct answer with a satisfied expression on her face, the physics lecturer turned to look coldly at Sally. “You’re becoming unbelievable!” “Can you learn from her!?” Sally nodded seriously and smiled. “Yes, I’ll do my best to learn from Ms. Williams.” There was no hint of anger or jealousy in her eyes. Instead, she seemed genuinely grateful and sincere. Shaken by her gaze, their physics lecturer did something she had never done and began comforting her. “Although your health is important, you should not neglect your schoolwork either.” “Try as hard as you can.” “I will.” Sally nodded seriously and sat back dow

    Paula nodded and said, “You don’t know, do you, Sal? When you were resting, your hubby Elijah Moses became really close to Zoey.” Her classmates had caught wind of what had happened with Javier Yates because of the amount of publicity it had received. On one hand, they were jealous of Sally’s luck. On the other hand, they looked down upon the fact that Sally had married Elijah for financial purposes. Men will always believe what they chose to believe. Thus, although Javier had gone mad at the press release, and although Mr. Greene had made a statement, those in a clique with Paula chose to believe that there was something fishy between Sally and Seth. Thus, they had chosen to believe Zoey when she had brought up her relationship with Elijah. “Sal, don’t think lowly of Zoey. Any self-respecting woman would not reject an outstanding man’s advances.” Sal spoke righteously. “After all, aren’t you and Elijah in an open relationship. If you can have Seth Greene, then Elijah Mos

    Paula’s face paled. The entire room went silent for the longest time. Evonne was the first to snap back to her senses. She clapped her leg as she laughed and said, “Sal, I think you’ve stumped Paula with this question.” “She doesn’t even have a car at home!” Sally seemed to be shocked. “Is that so?” She smiled as she looked at Paula. “If your parents have never set an example, how would you know that this would affect the relationship between a couple?” Paula’s face turned even paler. “I…” “Paulie.” “You’ve crossed the line.” Zoey raised her arm and tapped Paula’s shoulder. “We as outsiders have no right to comment on a couple’s private life.” “Besides, nothing is going on between Elijah and me.” Zoey’s voice was extremely gentle. “Eli just saw that my chauffeur had run into some trouble and that my brother had taken my car. He could not bear to see me taking the bus to class every day, so he loaned me his car and chauffeur.” “We’re just friends. You’re overth

    Elijah’s message said that he would be arriving in ten minutes. When Sally arrived at the entrance, there were about six minutes before Elijah’s estimated time of arrival. Evonne turned around and saw Zoey, flocked by a whole crowd. Her brow scrunched together immediately. “What are they doing here? Why won’t they leave us alone?” Sally said calmly, “This is the school’s main entrance. Everyone comes through here. It’s normal.” Evonne pouted. She did not know if she should laugh or cry at how oblivious Sally was! She gritted her teeth and pulled on Sally’s hand. “You said you would drop me off on the way home. You weren’t lying to them, were you?” Back then, Ol’ Joe would drive Sally to and from school in that black Maserati which had been loaned to Zoey Williams.Now, not only had the car been loaned, but the chauffeur as well! According to Evonne’s thought process, it was definite that Sally was taking the bus to and from school! Sally had only said what she had said

    ————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
