Sally worked in the kitchen for one and a half hours.

As she served the last dish of the evening, she glanced at it with satisfaction before turning around and trotting over to Elijah. "I'm done. Would you like to eat it now or later?"

The woman's sweet voice traveled into his ears, causing Elijah to lightly lift his thin lips. "Now."

"Then I'll push you over."

There was a hint of excitement in Sally's voice. "I've cooked my best dishes tonight. Try it and see if it's to your liking. Tell me what you like, and I can cook it for you every day!"

As they talked, the wheelchair reached the dining table.

She smiled as she handed him the spoon and fork but then found it inappropriate. "I forgot you can’t see... Why don't... I feed you?"

Elijah glanced at her but said nothing.

However, his hand obediently handed her the spoon and fork.

After taking the spoon and fork, Sally carefully picked up the plate and then raised small piece of fish fillet to his mouth. "Open your mouth."

    "Fortunately, your Aunt Sylvia's Liam just got a beating. They're busy with Liam and don't have time to gossip with your grandmother. Everything will be alright once they forget about it.""If you miss Grandma, just come and see her yourself. Don't take Mr. Moses with you."Sally's heart sank deeper and deeper into the abyss. She lowered her voice. "Got it."Just as she hung up on Shawn, Sylvia called again.It was Sylvia's sixtieth call to Sally over the past few days.Sally's school was so big that she could not find her and she did not know where she lived, so she had to bombard her with phone calls every day.Placing her cell phone on the table, Sally looked at the words "Aunt Sylvia" on the screen, feeling distraught.After a long time, the cell phone stopped vibrating, only to be followed up with a text message.The text message was from Sylvia. "You little b*tch, I know what you're afraid of. If you don't want your grandmother to know you married a blind man, get me the

    'Liam was only hospitalized for three days. How did he spend so much?'Sylvia's voice on the other end of the line sounded somewhat contemptuous. "Why can't he spend one hundred thousand dollars? My Liam hurt the family jew..." Mid-sentence, she seemed to find the subject embarrassing, so she coughed and changed the subject. "Anyway, Liam was badly hurt." Suddenly, Sylvia's voice cut off. "How did you know Liam was hospitalized for three days?"Her son was so badly injured in a fight that he almost had his family jewels removed. She did not even tell her brother Shawn about it. Sally had not even answered her phone these days, and this was the first time she had spoken to Sally about Liam's hospitalization.'How does Sally know that Liam had been hospitalized for three days?'"Do you know anything about Liam getting beaten up?"Sylvia's voice went up an octave. "Could it be that you had something to do with him getting beaten up?"Sally panicked. "No, no.""Hmph, I guess not

    One of her faults was that she could never keep up with the world.For example, if she quarreled with someone and was badly scolded, her brain would react only after the person left. 'I should have refuted her this way just now!'This happened several times, in fact, more than a dozen times, before she finally realized that she was not a quarrelsome and scheming person. Thus, she preferred to avoid trouble whenever possible.What she said to Sylvia on the phone had been conceived in her head during the time when she had refused to answer Sylvia's calls over the past few days.However, it was one thing to conceive and another to speak.When she had spoken the words stored inside her mind, she felt as if she had been drained of all her strength.Sylvia was frightened by it.She leaned against the tree to cool her head for a long time before picking up her cell phone and heading back.As her silhouette slowly returned to the villa, a woman hidden in the corner of the small garden

    "Worried about..."Sally yawned and was just about to blurt out the thing to Sylvia when she thought of something and hastily shut her mouth.Reason told her that she could not tell him about it.'Isn't telling him I'm worried about money an indirect way of asking him for money?'Therefore, she smiled and played dumb. "Worried about today's physics exam.""I've never been good at physics."Her lashes quivered slightly as she said this, and her eyes fluttered with confusion as to where to look.Elijah frowned but did not expose her. "If you're so worried, why don't you study hard for it?"Sally pressed her lips together and thought about it. "Can I come back later after school?""Don't send Ol' Joe to pick me up. I'll study in the library and come back by bus, all right?"Ol' Joe's daily pick-ups were more of a restriction and method of monitoring to her.Elijah narrowed his eyes. "Sure."The little lady heaved a sigh of relief and dutifully thrust the spoon and fork into hi

    The latter winced and the soup in his hand spilled."Where's the money?"After they left the ward, Sylvia made no secret of her ideas of Sally. "Hurry up."Sally could only hand her the envelope with three thousand dollars in it. "You must keep your word, Aunt Sylvia."Sylvia rolled her eyes. "As long as you pay me on time, I'll keep my mouth shut in front of your grandmother!"With that, she sneered at Sally.She married such a rich man but was so stingy in paying some money.After giving her the money, Sally did not have anything more to say to Sylvia, so she picked up her backpack and left.When she was walking down the hall on the first floor, she happened to bump into Javier, whom she had not seen for a long time."Sally!"Javier had begun to call her from a distance.She was going to hide from him, but when he yelled at her, she did not stand a chance.Therefore, Sally could only greet him awkwardly, "Javier, what a coincidence."She could somehow bump into him every

    Sally blushed as she nodded. "Therefore, could you recommend any good part-time jobs?"Javier looked up at the sign in front of him. "Here we are. Let's have lunch first. We'll talk about it afterward."Sally could only nod and follow him into the restaurant.She was a little absent-minded during the meal.She could not stop thinking about what happened when she had lunch with Javier last time.The last time she had lunch with Javier, Elijah knew everything instantly.'Will he know this time as well?''Will he call her and send someone to take her home as he did last time?'As she finished her meal in fear, she did not hear anything from Elijah at all."You're a nursing student. I can recommend you work as a part-time nurse in a nursing home."After lunch, Javier looked through his cell phone. "I happen to have a classmate who works in a nursing home. There're a lot of part-time nursing jobs there. The pay is pretty high, but the requirements will be higher.""You took such

    Even his wedding was attended by no one but his grandfather."However...""It's not that I don't want to help her."Elijah shifted into a more comfortable position and leaned back in his wheelchair. "I'll help her when she figures out how couples get along with each other."Pierre was confused by what Elijah said but seeing the man's face turn cold, he dared not ask. "Are you still going to wait for madam to come back for dinner, sir?""It's already late, why don't you eat by yourself first?"The man shook his head, his thin lips parted, and said only one word, "I'll wait."The nursing home was scheduled to close at half-past seven in the evening.Based on the time, Sally figured she could catch the last bus and be back by eight o'clock.However, it was her first day of work, and there were so many things she had to finish. She was also inexperienced, so the time dragged on until it was late.Once she was out of the nursing home, she took out her cell phone to look at the tim

    Javier had been meaning to ask Sally this question since noon.However, she hemmed and hawed about some cooking class she was going to take.She was really bad at lying.A sensible and capable girl like her could not cook? No one would believe such a lie."No, I don’t."She denied with a smile.The man in the driver's seat spoke again. "You can tell me if you need money. I'm making good money even though I've only been working for a few years."Speaking of this, Javier could not help showing off, "I bought this car with my own money–two hundred thousand dollars. My classmates are all envious of me."Sally looked at him, her big eyes full of admiration. “You’re doing really well.""If only I can do as well as you, Javier."Javier smiled proudly. "As long as you work hard, there’s nothing you can’t achieve.""By the way, Sally, you haven't told me where you live!"Sally dumbly told him the address of Swan Lake Villa.Javier was stunned for quite some time.

    ————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
