“Are you taking on any apprentices? I can help pay for your in-game items!” Elijah furrowed his brow and beckoned for Pierre to pass him a pair of earplugs to insert into Sally’s ears. Then, he got another pair to put into his ears. However, Zane’s piercing voice could still be heard. He furrowed his brows and shut his eyes.Legend had it that the head of the Larson family in Z City was extremely strict. Was Young Master Larson… acting out because of this? Elijah endured him all the way. Eventually, the plane touched down at A City’s airport.“Bunny, I’ll meet you and your husband soon!” Zane smiled as he retrieved his luggage before bidding farewell to Sally and Elijah at the doors. “Try not to miss me!” Sally rubbed her eyes, which were puffy with sleep before she rolled her eyes at him. “No one’s going to miss you.” If her calculations were right, she had spoken to Zane Larson less than twenty times. Elijah had had even fewer interactions with him. However, Y

Elijah must have guessed that that would be Sally’s reaction. He shook his head as he beckoned for Pierre to come forward. “You return home with Blair first. Leave the box of presents that Madam bought with us, and take everything else home.” Pierre nodded and handed the box to Elijah before he set off home in a taxi with Blair. Elijah decided to drive Sally from A City Airport to the village where Zoey was staying.Sally sat in the backseat and stared out the window at the sights racing past them. Her heart leaped with excitement when she thought about how excited her aunt and uncle would be when they saw what she had bought them! The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She was so excited that she began giggling to herself as she sat in the backseat. Sat in the driver’s seat, Elijah shook his head when he saw how ridiculously adorable his wife was actingThere was something about her that was so adorable that he always wanted to take her into his arms whe

Zoey rolled her eyes at him as she pulled Sally into the house. “You make it seem as if you can find a wife once you get rid of me!” Sally stared helplessly at Zoey. She had once felt inferior to her when they had first met.Zoey had seemed so much more mature in her ways of thinking and acting than her even though they were the same age. Now… She lowered her eyes to look at the girl, who was still squabbling with Jameson. Perhaps… Zoey was just a good actress. Meanwhile, Seth and Evonne had set the table in the courtyard. The minute Sally stepped into the courtyard, Zoey began showing off. “Look, I learned how to cook proper fried chicken whilst I was here!” “Sis, Evonne said it's delicious! Better than what the chefs at The Golden Age could make!” Sally looked towards where she was pointing and was greeted with the sight of a steaming plate of fried chicken. She was starving after that long flight. The girl reached out, but Zoey smacked her hand before she coul

Elijah furrowed his brows but nodded as he said, “Yes.” “Thank you.” The girl lowered her head and blew her nose before downing a third of the bottle’s contents. “To be frank… I’ve never been close to my father or brother.“Growing up, my mom was the only one who was ever genuinely kind to me.“Sadly…” Zoey laughed bitterly as tears flowed freely from her eyes. “I really miss my mom.” The sound of her choked-up voice was infectious. Evonne’s grip on her chopsticks trembled. She smiled bitterly. “You’re better off than I am.” A wave of sorrow washed over the girl as she looked into Zoey’s reddened eyes. “At least you have some good memories of your mom.“Do you know what I had?“Until I was seven years old, she just lay there, motionless.“My dad would wipe her down every day. A nurse would help give her fluids. All I could do was watch.“Every other kid had a mom who would scold them, hit them, hug them, and praise them.“My mom only ever lay there. She never mov

“Let’s go.” The man spoke softly as he started the car. Sally stared worriedly out the window at the courtyard, which was growing further and further away. She sighed when the courtyard had fully disappeared from her sight. “Today was supposed to be a happy day…” It was all because Zoey had mentioned her mom. The word “mom” was sensitive for Evonne. Thus, the two of them ended up revealing their scars and casting gloom over the overall atmosphere. “My mom was nice to me too.” Elijah kept a steady hold on the steering wheel as he stared straight ahead, a flicker of emotion rippling through his deep-set eyes. “She just left us too soon.“She was a kind person, just as kind as you are.“If only she hadn’t left so soon… I believe my sister would not be the way she is now.” Sally pursed her lips. Elijah rarely brought up his family before her. She took a deep breath. “I can tell that your mom was a great person.“It's because I can see how she has influenced you.“

It was three in the afternoon by the time Sally and Elijah arrived at the Summers family Village. When they had set out from the airport that morning, Sally had called Shawn and told them that they would be arriving at two in the afternoon. However, because they had been held up by Zoey, it was almost half-past three by the time their car pulled to a stop at Shawn Summers’ door. “Uncle!” Sally sprinted toward the courtyard the minute she got out of the car. Elijah smiled as he opened the trunk and retrieved the box of gifts that she had brought along. As he brought their suitcases in, his sharp eyes noticed that there was a black sedan parked in the empty yard next to Shawn’s house. It seemed much too new to be a car that belonged to someone who lived in the village. “Uncle, these two are…” Sally had not expected to see two men in suits sitting on the couch with Shawn when she entered the room. The two men had lean builds and appeared to be athletic. It seemed that th

Sally pursed her lips. “It’s not like I won’t see them in the future. I’ll just catch up with Granny the next time I’m back.” She would only be here for half an hour, leaving after she had dropped off her gifts. She hadn’t been to class for a long time, and finals were approaching. There was no more time to lose. The girl took a deep breath when she thought of that and said, “Hmph, I’ve got less than half a month before my finals!” “When finals are over and school is out for the summer, I’m going to return and stay for a couple of days. I'll get granny to look after me so that she won’t have any time to watch other people play cards!” “Besides, I'm good at cards too! I can play cards with her!” Sally had spent a good amount of time playing poker with her aunt and grandma during summer breaks. Now that she thought of it, she had been missing it for some time! “Alright, alright!” Shawn smiled as he patted Sally on the shoulder. “Here, show me, what did you get us?” It

“Mr. Shawn Summers.” The two plain-clothes policemen still dutifully flashed their police badges even though there was no one else in the room. “We received a report from Ms. Freya Moses that stated you were involved in a fire that occurred thirteen years ago.” “Please come with us and allow us to conduct an investigation.” “Alright, I’ll come with you.” Shawn smiled as he turned and dragged the case of gifts that Sally had brought to the back door. He had made prior arrangements with Dom. Dom would take everything from the house once he left. Once done, he smiled as he extended his arms toward the officers. “Here.” Shawn smiled when the icy-cold handcuffs encircled his hands. It was as if they had traveled back to that one summer day thirteen years ago. That summer, Sally had caught a cold that was making its way through the village. At first, it had just been a combination of the virus and a fever, and there was nothing to be worried about. However, someone had

————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
