Memories of what had happened in the hospital resurfaced.

As he drifted between consciousness, he had heard her desperate screams.

It was nearly instinctive the way he had pushed away his shackles and ran toward her--

She was his only cure.

The only person he could not let go.

His lips curled into a smile as he placed a hand above her long, delicate eyelashes.

She was someone who greatly valued family.

If she knew that both her parents were alive and well, and thinking of her…

She would be overjoyed, right?

Although he did not think it was a good idea to have Sally and Nicole Larson reunite.

However, since Old Master Tate had mentioned it, he was willing to believe that things would become better.

The man raised his gaze toward the men when he thought of that. “Has the date of the wedding been confirmed?”

“In a week.”

Old Master Tate smiled as he spoke. He gave Elijah’s thin face a quick once-over. “You’ve become so much thinner.”

    Elijah shook his head helplessly and cupped her tiny face in his hand. “How do you know you’re not?”“What if you are the missing Young Lady of the Tate household?” Sally froze for a moment before she laughed and said, “There aren’t that many coincidences in the world.”She craved for a family too, but her uncle had told her she had been found in a dumpster. As far as she knew, the missing Young Lady of the Tate family had been precious to her parents. Elijah’s heart ached when he saw how determined she was. Sally liked Old Master Tate so much that he knew she would not pass up a chance to be his granddaughter. The only reason she was this steadfast was that… she sincerely believed that there was no way she came from this sort of background and had such powerful family members. Her sense of inferiority and desperation must be rooted deep within her. The man sighed and tightened his arms around her. “Then we’ll do what you want to do. Shall we go thank Grandpa Tate?” H

    Sally smiled politely at Sonny’s mother as she backed away surreptitiously. If his mother was going to stand and bare her teeth at her, she did not see the need to shop at this particular store. After all, there were a lot of boutiques. She did not have to make things difficult for herself. “Haha, how could he be doing well now!” Sonny’s mother gritted her teeth as she glared at Sally. “His record became blemished after you sent him to the police. The university expelled him, and he has to begin his education all over again at a nearby primary school!” She took a step toward Sal. The rage was burning as bright as a fire in her eyes. Sally frowned. She did not see the point in arguing with her and turned to leave. “Miss!” Sally had just turned around when a jovial voice rang out. “Miss!” The shop owner ran out and tugged on Sally’s sleeve. “Leaving so soon? You haven’t even taken a look at the designs offered in the shops.”“Do these clothes not suit your needs?”

    Mrs. Jensen came to a realization. “Boss, you…” “Yes.”The owner crossed her arms around her chest in pleasure. “I didn’t put that many. Just four or five narrow needles.” “I applied ointment to these needles, they’ll make the old man itch like crazy.” Mrs. Jensen’s eyes widened in shock. “Aren’t you worried…” “That she might come knocking on your door?” “What’s there to be worried about?”The owner rolled her eyes. “What evidence does she have to prove that I was the one who put the needles there? Couldn’t it have been her who put them there because she was feeling spiteful?” “She has no evidence. What can she do to me?” Mrs. Jensen stared at her before giving her a thumbs up. “You are so clever.” “I did not think of that.” If she had, why would she have needed to flip out against Sally Summers? She would have encouraged her to buy more clothing so that she could stick things in all of them. When the time came, she would have spent her money and eaten her wor

    All those years of suffering and torment… had ebbed away the very last bits of her confidence. “Don’t worry, I’ll convince her.” Old Master Tate sighed. “A child of the Tate family should not be this unconfident in themselves.” ———— When the clock struck twelve, Zoey guided Old Master Tate and Bennett into the Moses family house. Zoey was the first one to enter the door. She was dressed entirely in black. When Sally brought the last dish to the table, she raised her head and was greeted with the sight of a girl dressed in a tight black dress grinning at her. Sally could not believe her eyes! The Zoey Williams standing before her did not have the coolness and matureness of when they first met, nor did she have the pretentiousness of when she wore a Lolita outfit in the courtyard. Now, she seemed radiant and confident. That… was probably how Zoey should have always looked… “What’s wrong? Gone stupid looking at me?” Zoey smiled at her. “Sir and Old Master T

    Sally grew nervous when she saw the man’s shocked expression. She pursed her lips. “Uncle Tate, is something wrong?” Garlic butterfish was her best dish. Her uncle and auntie had never prepared garlic butterfish for her. However, she had learned to prepare it after marrying Elijah because he had once mentioned that it was his favorite dish. She, too, had fallen in love with the dish after learning how to make it. She considered herself a pretty good cook. However, why had Bennett reacted this way after eating her garlic butterfish? Bennett’s hands shook slightly. He turned and looked happily at Jordan Tate. “She is… she really is!” It tasted just like how Natalie made it! Natalie had been gone for nineteen years. Which meant that he had not tasted her cooking for nineteen years. However, he could taste it in Sally’s cooking… The man raised his gaze to look gratefully at Sally. “It tastes amazing.” “Just like how your mom used to make it.” Sally pursed he

    “Sal, you think too much about other people.” “Why do you never think about yourself?” “Don’t you want to be my granddaughter?” “I do.” Sally stood rooted to the spot and smiled politely. “However, Grandpa Tate, I was left in a dumpster by my birth parents.” “My uncle was the one who rescued me from the dumpster.” “I fell gravely ill when I was six years old. It was also then that my uncle told me that my mother wanted me back by her side.” “I was so afraid that my illness worsened.” “In the end, I got so sick that the hospital told my family to prepare for the worst. It was then that my uncle promised me that he would never give me up to anyone else.” Her clear eyes were filled with a certain coolness when she raised her gaze to smile at them. This coolness prompted the men to look at each other before they shook their heads and sighed. They understood that the damage to Sally had already been done. It would not be rectified in a day or two. She believed that s

    Sally sat on the couch in the Moses family house and stared at the two men before her. She could hear every word they were saying clearly. She could also understand every sentence they uttered. However, she could not comprehend. How had she become a member of the Tate family all of a sudden? How had her uncle suddenly become a kidnapper? How had she become the daughter of the heads of the Tate and Larson family? Did she have such impressive parents? Then why had people said that she would be a stupid country bumpkin for the rest of her life? “I know this is a lot to take in for you.” Old Master Tate smiled helplessly and placed all ten DNA test results in Sally’s arms. A thick stack of papers. “These are all results from tests run by well-known testing centers.” “Sal, I know you get good grades, and that you’re a med student at that. You should know what it means when you get consistent results in all your tests.” “If you can’t accept it emotionally, at leas

    Grandfather let out a long breath and quietly opened his mouth. “When Natalie brought you away back then, it was because she was afraid you would suffer.“Of course, not by the hands of our Tate family.“It was because the Tate family had countless enemies back then.“Your father was a sharp businessman at the time. He provoked many people, and many of those enemies targeted you and your mother.“Although your mother resolved it easily each and every time, in the end, she still could not accept a life like this. Thus, she left, bringing you with her.“As for why I for arranged Queenie to replace you…“Firstly, it was to provide your father some comfort so that he wouldn’t go to the ends of the earth looking for you.“Secondly, it was to make everyone think that Queenie was you, to make everyone think that that child who was left behind was our family’s heiress.“In this way, we would also ensure those people who are eager to try things on you won’t go hunting for your true loca

    ————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
