"If you can hear me, wake up!"If you don't wake up now, you’ll never see me again!"Those few words exhausted all her strength.Her tears fell in despair.When she first learned about the resentment between her uncle and the Moses family, she thought about countless ways to break up with Elijah.Little did she know, things would eventually end up this way.Elijah never had any close friends around him for many years. The only few people he trusted were Pierre, Ol' Joe, Blair, and the few.In the end however…Sally started to feel her nose and eyes sore up."No matter how much you shout, it's useless!"Cynthia gritted her teeth and glared at Sally ferociously. "Men, take her away!"The police moved Sally toward the elevator.The girl still stubbornly called out Elijah's name.Over and over, again and again.Last night, he was still by her side, hugging her, talking to her, and thanking her for her presence.In less than 24 hours, his sister and the servants around him ha
"Elijah!"Sally's tears began to fall as she choked whilst crying."Don't cry."The man sank down. His voice was low, hoarse, and sounded a little sorry, and a little guilty. "I can't hold you anymore."When he said that, his knees buckled softly, and he nearly fell to the ground.Sally knew it was the effect of the sleeping medicine and anesthetics.She was anxious and angry. ‘How could they do this to him?!’Even if none of his muscle or bone was hurt, these drugs might damage his nervous system!The woman took a deep breath and supported his body. "It’s okay, Hubby."If you can't hold me up, I’ll hold you up!"Trust me, I have a lot of strength!”The girl held him up and tried her best to rest his body weight on herself."Silly girl.”Elijah gave her a wry smile. When he finally could not hold himself up, he knelt onto the ground.Sally was not in good condition either.She had not recovered from her sickness after being in the rain when she was in Summers Family Vill
Blood seeped out of her finger. Pain shot through her head like an electric shock.Cynthia gritted her teeth and gripped her finger with her other hand. “Guards!” “Get the doctors!” Her eyes reddened as she watched Elijah hold on to Sally's waist. “Isn’t he just refusing to let go?” “Have the doctor get their scalpel and cut off Sally Summers’ flesh along Elijah Moses’ arm!” She refused to believe that she would be defeated by two unconscious people! “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”Pierre voiced his objections in a low voice. “Ms. Conor, I know you’re extremely angry now.“However, I don’t see the need to shed blood.“What are you going to do if Sir holds a grudge against you in the future?” “Haha.” Cynthia laughed out loud. “Do you think I’m scared of him holding a grudge?” “If I were scared, I wouldn’t be standing here and ordering my men to capture Sally Summers!” She glanced coldly at Pierre. “I have never cared about him.“All I want is the status that
Uh… hit a woman… Bennett coughed lightly as he raised his gaze toward Cynthia. He admitted that he was furious, but not to the point where he could raise a hand toward a young girl. The girl looked about the same age as his Sal, and he was a man nearing his forties. Even if he was going to hit a woman, he couldn’t hit one as young as her, could he?Other people who didn’t know better might even think he was disciplining his daughter. He frowned and caught a glimpse of the corner of a navy-blue shirt hidden in the shadows. The man frowned. “Blair?” The thirteen-year-old boy stepped out of the shadows slowly. “I’m here.” Bennett gave him a look. “Do you see her? She’s hurting your brother and sister-in-law.” "Beat her up." “Okay.” Blair nodded and strode toward Cynthia. Cynthia stared coldly at Blair. “Don’t you dare touch me.“I’m Elijah’s future…”“Slap–!” She did not manage to finish her sentence before Blair slapped her. Then, he pushed her onto the ground
What an honor it was to be the recipient of something so glorious! This could be brought up in all manners of circumstance in the future to garner the respect of everyone present! “I don’t like your brother that much.” Bennett yawned and glanced cooly at Freya. “We’re here to visit Sal.” The expression on Freya’s face froze. “Vist… Sally Summers?” What did the girl have that made her worth a visit!? The adopted daughter of an arsonist. A country bumpkin. A… woman who did not know any better!“Yes.” Bennett freed himself from Jordan’s arm and walked over to Pierre to take Sally’s unconscious body from him. “We’re here for her.” He frowned and tried to pull Elijah’s arm off her but failed to do so. Cynthia laughed. Her face was riddled with bruises. “You can’t break them apart!“All of us tried, and we all failed!“The only way to separate them is to carve off that b*tch’s flesh!” Bennett frowned and raised his foot, which was encased in a handmade leather bo
Cynthia’s eyes grew wide. “Sis…” If Freya said that, it meant that she was admitting that Sally and Elijah would not be separated! Well then, what did that make her?!Cynthia used the wall to support herself as she struggled to her feet and limped over to Freya. “Sis, didn’t you say that they would be getting divorced soon?“Aren’t I supposed to be Elijah’s wife?” Old Master Tate smiled as he stroked his beard. “Young lady, are you going to marry Elijah?“Will you still marry him and serve him if he lost both his arms?” Cynthia stared at him. Of course she would not do that! She had already refused to marry Elijah when she first heard that he was blind! If Elijah had not clarified that he was sighted, she would never have thought about marrying him! Who would be as dumb as Sally Summers to get married to a disabled man! However, she kept these thoughts to herself. Meanwhile, on the surface, she plastered a genuine smile onto her face as she said, “Of course I will!
He glared at Freya as he said that. Freya hurriedly lowered her head and said, “I understand.” “You.” Old Master Tate pointed at Pierre and Blair. “And you.“Take the two unconscious people and follow me!” Startled, Freya said, “Grandfather Tate, what are you…“Elijah is not in good shape, he needs to recuperate at the hospital…” “Recuperate my ass!” Old Master Tate spat, “You’ll stir up more trouble if I let him recuperate here.“I don’t trust you!” He glared coldly at Pierre. “Bring these two back to the Moses house!” “Get the old man at the Moses house to take a good look at how his grandson and granddaughter abused my granddaughter!” Pierre nodded. “Yes sir.” With that, he and Blair helped Elijah and Sally into the elevator. Old Master Tate yawned and glanced at Bennett. “I’ll leave this to you. Get to the Moses family house when you’re done. We’ll make that old man pay!” “Alright.” Bennett nodded and watched his father leave with the two youngsters.
Shabby…Freya had uttered that word many times in her life. She had even used it to describe Sally’s background. However, never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that it would be used against her, or the Moses family. Yet, it made sense when the word was used by someone from the Tate family. Freya’s fingers squeezed together as she knelt on the ground. She gritted her teeth and said, “I understand that the Moses family is no match for the Tate family.” “However, this is a private matter between Elijah and Sally. We might be their family members, but… we should not meddle.” If what Bennett said was true. Sally was indeed the young lady of the Tate family. There was no way she was going to separate Elijah from Sally. Everyone knew that Bennett did not have a son. He only had one daughter. If Sally was Bennett’s daughter, Elijah would be the Tate family’s son-in-law. Everything the Tate family owned would belong to Elijah and Sally in the future. The
————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
