Freya smiled, her face becoming even more hideous as she did so. “Do you remember nearly dying thirteen years ago when you were gravely ill?“Do you remember Shawn Summers bringing back 200 thousand to treat you?”Freya’s gaze gradually turned violent as it gradually became even more twisted. “Where did you think the 200 thousand came from?“It was earned from setting Elijah’s and my house on fire!”The woman’s voice had become so deep and raspy that they no longer sounded like words; every single syllable was enough to rip Sally’s heart apart.“That day was Elijah’s birthday.“If you don’t believe it, you can go look up your town’s medical records. The few days you were sick just so happened to coincide with Elijah’s birthday.“They had calculated that I would come back that day to celebrate Elijah’s birthday, and they also predicted that Elijah wouldn’t turn on the lights before I came home. He would be alone in the house, his imagination running wild.“So, your uncle became
“I simply said some things she ought to know.”Freya smiled mildly, then turned her head so that her back was to Sally. “I’ve said what I had to say.“You said earlier that everyone should have their freedom to choose.“So, I’m giving you this right to choose. If you still want to continue shamelessly being with Elijah, I can’t comment.”Sally’s body trembled violently in Zane’s arms.Everything Freya said felt distant and unreal to her.However…Every word she said perfectly matched Sally’s past experiences.She did not know… if this was a lie she had carefully fabricated, or…Sally covered her mouth tightly. She did not want to cry, nor did she want to think about it anymore.However, nobody could be indifferent when facing such words!She bit her lip harshly, trying to not be affected, to be unworried.However, she could not!She really could not!“Little Bunny!”Zane gritted his teeth and pulled her up from the floor. “Wipe away your tears!”He did not have his usua
“Letting them split up will only benefit you. There are no cons.”The woman’s voice carried some disdain. “I heard that the order Natalie Reynolds gave you guys is that whoever can marry her daughter will become her heir.”As she said this, she turned her head back. Her cold eyes stared steadily at Zane. “Don’t act like you don’t want to be head of the Larson family.“You’ve been looking for Sally for over a year. If you didn’t want to marry her, why did you waste your efforts looking for her?“You’ve found her now, yet you aren’t fighting for her and even want to get her and my brother to reconcile.”Freya shook her head helplessly. “I’ve never seen you act so foolish.“I could’ve allied myself with you.”“I have no need to ally with someone like you.”Zane folded his arms over his chest. He leaned coldly by the door, some chilliness gathering at the corners of his lips. “What I want, I’ll use my own two hands to get.“I don’t need the help of a shady monster.”Shock instant
"Elijah!"Sally gritted her teeth and her face that was flushed red from crying turned pale from the tension.She gritted her teeth and glared at him. "Slow down!"“No."He sneered and sped up the car rashly.Sally's heart was about to explode from nervousness!At such a fast speed, if he hit something or if his hand moved a little, the two of them would be minced into a pile of mush such that no ambulance would be able to help them."Stop it!"She gritted her teeth and almost teared up from the anger. "Stop this crazy nonsense!”When she saw that he still did not listen to her, she took a deep breath. "Who was the one who told me that they wanted to have a baby with me last night, who said that he was going to plant his seeds nicely?"How can we have children if you act this way?!”Elijah smiled faintly and the car slowed down. "But you cried.”"If you slow down, I won't cry anymore!"He slowed down a little more.However, he was still driving faster than any of the othe
But what if the person who hurt him and his sister was her uncle…What should she do?She had no right to accuse her uncle because her uncle did the bad thing for her in the first place.She had no right to comfort Elijah because her uncle hurt him for her in the first place.Everything in her mind was tangled.She took a deep breath and her voice broke. She began to tremble. "Hubby… I mean, Elijah."She sniffed and tried to think of a way to break up with him.However, when the words reached her lips, she could not bring herself to say anything.The thought of separating from him made her nose and eyes turn red to the point where her tears would not stop flowing.She never wanted to be separated from him…He was such a good man. He was good in everything and he was the source of her happiness, the driving force of her life.However, she did not deserve this…"You don’t even want to call me your hubby?"He laughed in a low tone and raised his hand to wipe away the tears fr
"Silly girl, then don't leave me.”Elijah hugged her in his arms and kissed her over and over again. "Let bygones be bygones."Neither you nor I can change the past."But the future... is still a long time ahead of us."How about we think of it this way?"The only reason I suffered humiliation and was mocked as a blind man for thirteen years was because you were sick."So as compensation, you should accompany me for thirteen years."If we include the interest rate, let’s say, twenty years."So stay with me for twenty years to pay back the debt you owe me, alright?”Sally wanted to laugh and weep all at once. ‘What kind of calculation is this?’"My wifey."The man looked at her with a rare expression. A cute expression. "Alright?"Hmm?"His low and sultry voice matched his coquettish handsome face. Sally could not resist it at all.She was out of things to say and could only nod her head as she smiled. "Okay, I will.”"Okay."Elijah pulled her head nearer to him and kiss
The man dragged her into the abyss.Sunlight peeked in from the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Sally's glowing red face. She gritted her teeth. "At least close the curtains...""No one can see us.”He chuckled lightly. "If you’re really shy, you can tell me that you love me."Maybe then I’ll close the curtains for you."Sally, "..."She had never seen such a brazen person!Eventually, the curtains were closed.Not because Sally begged him, but because... Elijah was getting too hot.The weather by the sea was exceptionally sunny!After the day ended, they went downstairs and Sally finally ate some instant noodles. She was exhausted and eventually went to bed.Elijah sat on the edge of the bed and sighed lightly while watching her sleep quietly."Silly goose."He shook his head lightly."Lil’ crybaby.”He lowered his head and kissed her lips."Elijah..."The girl was half asleep and hugged his neck. She sounded a little dependent. “I don't want to leave you...""Then don
Sally had a long, long dream.In the dream, her uncle apologized to her first, and then Freya's hideous and terrifying face popped up in front of her.Freya yelled at her and sneered at her in the dream. "You’re not good enough for my brother!""Sal."Sal."Sal.A low male voice rang in Sally's ear again and again.Freya's terrifying face gradually distorted and disappeared.Finally, Elijah was seen standing on the seashore.His big and tall figure standing up straight.He smiled at her happily and kept calling her name.The sorrow and sadness in her heart was wiped away in an instant. Sally opened her arms and rushed toward Elijah. "Hubby!”‘I’ll never bring up leaving you again.‘Even if the whole world wants to break me away from you, I won't do it…’Before she could jump into Elijah's arms, a man with a knife in his hand appeared behind him.The man fiercely stabbed Elijah with the knife.However, Elijah acted as if nothing was happening.Sally panicked, rushed ove
————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
