How could it be….“Has he returned to the Moses house… because there’s something he has to do?”“Who knows?”Zane shrugged. “Perhaps he wants to confirm something.”After saying this, he looked at Sally sternly. “Still, Little Bunny, I suggest you reconsider your relationship with Elijah.”Sally jolted, her face gradually paling. “What do you mean…”She and Elijah had just celebrated their wedding.They had just started their blissful lives.It had only… just started.“I’m not someone who would willingly try to manage your personal life.”Zane smiled and shook his head lightly. “You can probably tell, can’t you? Though I do like you a little, I’ve never disturbed nor meddled in your relationship with Elijah.“I’m not someone who likes to interfere in other people’s business.“However, Little Bunny, when it comes to you and Elijah…“There are simply too many obstacles.”The man sighed and said in a low voice.Sally’s heart tightened painfully.However, she still smiled l
Zane’s words made Sally’s heart throb painfully.The girl gripped her fists tightly.Mom, she…For her, her mom had been willing to give up her own name, her own grudge—she had been willing to let everything go.Because Sally liked Elijah, her mother had been willing to forget what Elijah’s father had done to her, and she chose to accept Elijah…Sally closed her eyes. Her heart was simultaneously warm and in pain.Nicole really had been sacrificing her whole life.The first half of her life, she had lived for Bennett.The second half…“Calm down a little.”Zane took a deep breath, turned, and left.After the man walked away, only Sally alone was left in the hospital room.She leaned against the headboard, staring at the pale white walls in the distance, her heart full of sorrow.Out of nowhere, scenes of how well her father and mother treated her over the past few days appeared before her eyes.How gently Elijah treated her also appeared.A moment later, she opened her e
He… probably would not be willing to.If he and Freya cut contact, then he would only have Sally.She was the daughter of the enemy who had killed his parents…It did not matter if she viewed it emotionally or rationally, Elijah would not choose her…The girl’s heart slammed to the ground and shattered into pieces.“All of this will pass.”Evonne patted her back and sighed heavily. “It will always pass.“Sally.“Whether the resentment of the past life affects you and Elijah’s relationship, the choice is ultimately yours.”…In the next few days, Elijah very obediently did not visit Sally at all.She went through surgery alone, woke up from nightmares every day alone, and visited Nicole alone.“Sally.”Nicole smiled at her, leaning against the headboard. “Don’t let my affairs affect your own life.”“Mom…”She raised her eyes to look out the window, her gaze distantly floating toward somewhere far, far away. “I didn’t get to participate in the past nineteen years of your l
The air in the cafe was still for a long time.Elijah looked up and into her eyes. "When will you be back?""That’ll depend on how things go."Sally picked up the coffee and took a sip. "Maybe I’ll come back after sending my mother off. Maybe I’ll bring my uncle, aunt, grandma, Billy, Bobby and never come back again."After she said that, she looked up and smiled a little as she looked at Elijah. "Take care of yourself."Elijah looked at her in silence without saying anything.The light in his eyes was filled with affection and helplessness.Sally suddenly felt that she was too cruel.However, since she had made up her mind, she could not regret it.After taking a deep breath, the girl looked up and her eyes met the man's deep brown eyes. "My parents told me that they didn’t want their affairs to affect the relationship between you and me."But your sister is prejudiced against me and it's not a prejudice that can be solved in a day or two."They don’t mind leaving me to you
‘I guess he’s the same as Freya…‘He only has his family in his heart.’When she thought of this, she reasoned to herself about why she could not be a little selfish and put her family first as well.The girl smiled wryly.Before going to the coffeeshop, this thought went through her head countless times.If Elijah said that he was willing to break ties with Freya, she would reconcile with him as before.If Elijah said that he would consider the effect of Freya's presence on her, she would come back and spend the rest of her life with him after she sent her mother off.She even thought that…If Elijah promised that he would try his best to choose her between his family and her, she would ignore everything and continue to love him with all her heart.However, he did not say anything.When she brought up the past, all he did was argue for his father.What else could she say?In his eyes...She was not the most important person.Perhaps he had not figured out how to deal wit
A week later.Sally accompanied Bennett and the very sickly Nicole to leave A City as they went on their journey to Tate Manor."Let’s keep in touch, Sal.”"We’ll visit you when we’re free."As they stood at the airport, Evonne held Sally's hand with tears streaming down her face. “I hope you find happiness.”Sally nodded.She stood at the airport security gate check and said goodbye to Evonne, Blair, Seth, Jameson, Shawn, and his entire family.After saying goodbye to everyone, the one person she had looked forward to seeing had not shown up.The girl looked back in the direction of the airport's entrance once more.It was empty with no one present and no sign of anyone else approaching.She let out a long sigh and a self-deprecating smile flashed across her lips.He was the same as her. In the end, both of them chose their family.She supposed that it was good.Even if they chose to abandon their own family, their happiness was not guaranteed.Fair enough.After taking
"Now, she’s eight months pregnant with the child, but the patient showed symptoms of heart failure a few days ago. After her husband asked around, he found our hospital and personally asked you to be the surgical supervisor…”"That’s just nonsense!"Sally took a deep breath and strode to a red BMW. She started the car while frowning. "Why did she get pregnant if she knew her body couldn’t handle it?"And why did they only come here now even after knowing of the risk of childbirth since the beginning?” Even though Sally was complaining the entire time, she floored it all the way to the hospital and arrived as fast as she could."Professor Summers!"When the assistant cardiac surgeon saw her walking over, he hurriedly went up to greet her."Where’s the patient’s information?""Over here!"Sally frowned and flipped through the medical record anxiously.When her eyes landed on the row of the patient's name, she was stunned and froze in place.Freya Moses.Her patient that day…
"Dr. Summers.:After Sally changed out of the surgical gown and was walking out of the locker room, she was stopped by a man with tears in his eyes."I’m the husband of the patient that you’re going to operate on today. I’m Freya Moses’s husband, Quincy Lucca."The man knelt down to Sally excitedly. "My wife's life is in danger. I’m leaving everything to you today, Dr. Summers!"I tried to dissuade her when she was pregnant, but she insisted..."I had no other choice, so I asked around everywhere and finally found you, Dr. Summers."I’ve heard that you have excellent medical skills..."Sally frowned and stared blankly at the man kneeling in front of him. "I’ll try my best.""Money isn’t a problem."Quincy took a deep breath, his eyes filled with sadness and worry for Freya. "No matter the price, I’ll be able to afford it!"And one more thing.”The man looked up and stared into Sally's eyes seriously. "I know that this operation will be very risky. If I really have to choose.
————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
