“Both the Tate family and the Summers couple are her families.”

“By forcing her to change her last name, you’re forcing her to choose between her birth parents and adoptive parents.”

“You’re making things difficult for her.”

Elijah’s love and affection for Sally were evident in his deep voice.

The girl standing behind the door only had a jacket over her pajamas.

The early autumn nights were quite chilly.

However, Elijah’s words spread warmth across her entire body.

In the end… he was still the one who knew and loved her the most.

He understood the unspoken struggles and uncertainties within her.

He was willing to go to the Tate family and let them know what she did not dare speak.

This was Elijah Moses, her husband, and the man she swore to spend the rest of her life with.

He knew her so well, and was so considerate of her that he was willing to stand up for her…

She was extremely lucky.

Even though the wedding had not been held yet, she still felt like she was

    Sally nodded firmly. “I’m going to bed.” Bennett smiled slightly. “Have an early night too.” “You might be young, but don’t have too many late nights.” With that, the man left. Sally stood rooted to the spot and felt her face turning warm. She knew that Bennett probably just meant that they should go to bed earlier. However… Why had she thought of something else? Was it because she had spent too much time with Elijah, and he had managed to pollute her thinking?“What are you thinking of?” Just as she was about to smack her blushing face, the man’s low voice, interlaced with the hints of a laugh, rang by her ears. “What did you think of?” Sally, “...” He had already seen and heard it all. Could he not guess himself! “Dirty-minded girl.” The man smiled and hoisted her into his arms. “Why did you come to the study?” Sally’s face grew even redder, and her heart rate increased as she lay in his arms. She pursed her lips. “I… just wanted to know what time you

    Sally was startled.…Sally had slept till past nine in the morning again.At 9.30, she was awoken by a call from Zane Larson. “Little Bunny, I’m at your door now. Pack up and come out. Aunt Nat is looking for you.”Sally yawned and glanced at the time. “I just woke up. You’ll have to wait a little.”She had not forgotten that Zane had called her yesterday, whereby they had agreed to have her accompany Nicole for a meal.After hanging up, the girl hurriedly changed her clothes, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and moisturized.Ten minutes later, the girl appeared in front of Zane, fully ready and beaming. “Where are we going to eat today?”Zane shrugged. “Aunt Nat said she suddenly really wanted to experience agritourism, so she wants to take you to the countryside to have a taste of farm-style food.”Sally was startled. “Farm-style food?”In truth, she had spent eighteen of her past nineteen years on this earth eating farm-style food.Though she really liked it… a woman

    “Sally?”Upon seeing Sally, Billy was overcome with emotion.“Why are you here?”Sally got up from her chair and launched into Billy’s arms. “Long time no see!“Why are you here? Where’s Auntie?”Billy spoke, overwhelmed. “This is the farm-style restaurant Mom opened!“Bobby and I are on summer vacation, so we’re helping out here!”The boy could not hide his excitement. “Sally, why are you here?“Did you know this was the restaurant we opened and purposely came to visit us?”“I…”Sally pressed her lips together. “Someone invited me here to eat.”She let out a deep breath. “Auntie wouldn’t tell me anything about you guys. I didn’t know where exactly you guys were either.“If not for someone inviting me here today…”She would not have known that Auntie and Billy and Bobby had opened a restaurant here at all!“Then this friend of yours is not exactly a nobody.”Billy smiled broadly as he passed the menu to Sally. “Although this restaurant of ours is doing quite well, it’s r

    “All the people who come to our farm-style restaurant are city folk. How could… how could I know them…”His attitude only made Jane more suspicious.She furrowed her brows and shoved Billy aside, immediately heading for the room.With a bang, the room’s door was opened.Inside the room, Sally abruptly raised her head to meet Jane Lindell’s cold gaze that carried some rage.“Sally Summers, you’re not welcome here!“I’ve already told you—I don’t want to attend your wedding, and I don’t want to have any relationship with you!”Sally pressed her lips together, her gaze locked on Jane.Though she knew Jane had said just so that she would not have anymore lingering feelings, Jane’s gaze and tone still made her heart hurt violently!The girl pressed her lips together, eyes full of pain as she looked at Jane. “Auntie, do you really hate me this much?”Jane rolled her eyes. “Yes!”“But…”Sally pressed her lips together, her voice so humble that she was basically pleading. “Auntie, y

    Sally was equally shocked as she stood still behind Jane.She stared at Shawn and Nicole in front of her, almost not daring to believe her eyes.Uncle just said… her mom was here to change her name and recognize Uncle as her little brother?Moreover, not only was she changing her name, she… was changing her surname?!“Hey, have you been struck dumb?”Zane darted over, bumping Sally with his shoulder. He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, “Aren’t you extremely touched?“After you told me those things yesterday, I immediately told Aunt Nat.“Aunt Nat said it wasn’t even up for discussion. If you really like being called Sally Summers and your original surname that much, then she’ll change her surname, and her name, as long it makes you happy.”At that moment, Sally’s heart was so warm that it felt like it had melted to mush.She lifted her head to look at the woman standing at the entrance.The early fall weather was a little chilly. She had on a moon-white fitted gown

    Zane furrowed his brows and interrupted her coldly. “What nonsense are you saying?“Sally has just gotten to know you. If you say these things, she’ll think you’ve developed some terminal illness.”Nicole jolted slightly and only then came back to her senses. She gave Zane a breezy smile. “That’s true.“We can talk about things like my eventual passing later.”After saying this, she turned to glance at Sally. “What did you call me just now?”Sally pressed her lips together. “I called you… Mom.”She stared at Nicole, her face slightly pale. “What you said just now… What do you mean?”“There’s no meaning to it.”Nicole put her cup down calmly. “I just feel that dying in a place like this would actually be quite nice.“If I have the chance in the future.”After saying this, she smiled at Sally. “Humans have to die someday, right?”Sally pressed her lips together, her heart uneasy.There… had been such a good atmosphere. At such a nice moment, why would she think about dying?

    Sally looked at Nicole in shock. "So are you saying that..."From the time Zane followed her back to A City, Nicole had already made plans meet up and acknowledge her as her daughter?That meant that she had never wanted to harm her uncle, even from the start.She only wanted to use her uncle to let her know that she was her mother."Yeah."Nicole casually picked up the cup and took another sip. "Since you know that I'm your biological mother, I don't have to continue to struggle with Shawn.""If he's willing to continue to be my bodyguard, then he can. However, if he doesn't want to anymore, he can stay back and run the shop with his wife, which is also not a bad idea." The woman smiled casually. "Maybe I can even come and live with them when I'm about to die."After all, I am also a part of the Summers family." Sally pursed her lips and clenched her hands tightly under the table.That was the third time Nicole mentioned her death within the past thirty minutes of their co

    One day, he was playing by himself in the backyard when he got lost and found himself in the basement where Nicole was imprisoned.That was the first time Zane had seen such horrific things.There was not a trace of sunlight in the damp and dark basement where only a dim light shone in the darkness.Behind a huge iron gate, a woman with disheveled hair was being imprisoned.She seemed to have been tortured miserably with blood stains all over her face.The seven-year-old Zane yelled in shock, "There’s a ghost!"Nicole looked up with her clear and bright eyes. Then, she smiled at him, "Little rabbit, there aren’t any ghosts here."Come on, be a good boy, don't be afraid.”The woman's gentle voice almost made Zane shed a tear.Her voice sounded too similar to his mother’s voice.Her gentle eyes also reminded him of his mother.This is despite the fact that Mommy had been dead for two years."Is the weather nice outside?"The woman looked at him with a smile. Then, she stretc

    ————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
