Elijah stood in place, eyebrows drawn together and not moving.Ol’ Joe continued speaking, “Sir, you must trust me.“In so many years, aside from the few months of interaction you had with Madam five years ago, you haven’t had any experience in love at all. On the other hand, I have been through hundreds of battles and had more than ten girlfriends. I even sent your picture to my past ex-girlfriends so that you and Madam can reconcile.“They all expressed that if you knelt in front of them whilst holding roses, they would definitely cry on the spot and forgive you right there and then!”Elijah furrowed his brows. Hearing Ol’ Joe’s words in his ear, he bit his lip harshly. “I’ll believe you this one time.”After saying this, the man sighed deeply. Holding the roses, he slowly walked in front of Sally and knelt on one knee before her. “Sally.“We can’t change the past, but please give me a chance to get to know you anew, to reexamine our relationship and have a fresh start.”The m
The hall quieted down instantly.Sally was startled and took a step back subconsciously.Five years had passed by.They had experienced so much during that time.Even so, when Elijah said that she was his only choice, her heart could not help but go… thump thump thump.The woman took a deep breath and her fingers grasped at the sleeves of her white coat.After a while, Sally's heart finally calmed down.Elijah looked at her blushing little face and a smug smile flashed across his lips.Her lips uttered cold words, but it seemed that the truth was that he still resided in a certain woman’s heart.Otherwise, why would a simple sentence make her suddenly blush and cause her heart to skip a beat?‘Tsk tsk. Her lips say no but her heart says yes.’The man raised the corner of his lips and smiled faintly. He walked slowly into the elevator. "Didn't you say that your friend had a change of clothes for me?"Go on."The man's low and magnetic voice pulled Sally back to her senses.
After she said that, she softly added, “If you don't like it, you can throw it away.""How can I throw it away?"Elijah said while he elegantly changed his clothes, "This is my very first present from Dr. Summers. Of course I’d take good care of it.”Sally thought found this a bit ridiculous. "This is the first gift I gave you?"If she recalled correctly, she gave him plenty of gifts when they were together five years ago.Even when she went to Europe and bought gifts for her uncle and aunt, she also thought about giving him something.How could he say that this set of clothes was her very first gift to him then?The woman gave out a cold laugh. “Mr. Moses, you must have a bad memory.”"Five years ago, I ...""You weren’t Dr. Summers five years ago."Elijah interrupted her faintly. "The person who sent me gifts five years ago was Mrs. Moses."Now the person giving me this set of clothes is Dr. Summers."The man buttoned up his shirt, slowly walked around Sally, and stopped
Sally took Elijah for a morning checkup.Since several companies were in the hospital to do group medical examinations that day, the medical staff in the medical examination department were very busy.That was why most of Elijah's medical examinations were done by Sally herself.Although she was a cardiology surgery specialist, she was diligent and studious. She knew how to use all the medical equipment in the hospital and the procedures to be followed during a medical examination.Throughout the morning, Sally looked like a hardworking little bee as she took Elijah around.She did not want to be alone with Elijah, so she did everything extremely fast.By ten o'clock at noon, she had already taken Elijah through the entire process and finished all the inspections."Save for a few results that will come out tomorrow, all your results are here."Sally stood in front of Elijah with the folder in hand as she showed him the medical examination results in her hands. "Mr. Moses, every
"I'm only a hooligan for you."The man kissed her face and neck."After you left, I never got another woman."You should know that I've always been like this."I missed you for five years."Sally, "..."‘Damn!’She had to find out who was on duty at the urology department that day!Once she found out who was responsible, she was going to kill them!Nevertheless, now was not the time to think about the urologist!She was angry and anxious. "Elijah, can you not..."Could he not stimulate her like that?"Don't you like it?"The man kissed her gently. "You seem to be enjoying this very much."He said that he had been abstinent for five years.She too had been abstinent from men throughout those five years.At times like this, added on with the fact that the person in front of her was also the person who she had never been able to let go off…Sally was about to cry.She pursed her lips. "Can we not do this here?"‘This is the hospital’s staff dormitory. Someone could come
Their long-drawn lost affair thing did not last long.Elijah knew that Sally now was different from before.She used to be cute and adorable, and was still a student.Now, she was a shrewd, calm, mature, and was a brilliant female doctor with a distinguished status.He knew he could not waste too much of her time, let alone create a bad image for her."Mr. Moses."After washing up, Sally walked out of the bathroom whilst still appearing a little awkward. "I can pretend that nothing happened just now."But I hope that you won’t break your promise and donate the twenty million to our hospital. Not a penny less."After she said that, she looked up at Elijah as if she had thought of something again. “Oh yeah, when you donate the money, I hope that you can specify that out of the twenty million, fifteen million is to be used for our cardiology surgery department. Thanks.”Elijah faintly smiled and buttoned his suit jacket. "Dr. Summers, you sure know how to make demands."I rememb
Sally, “...” Alright, she had forgotten about that. Thus, she pulled the car door open and slid into the driver’s seat. The man dressed in the white suit sat down elegantly in the passenger’s seat. Sally sighed. “What would you like to have, Mr. Moses?” “Well, if I’m going to treat Dr Summers to dinner, she should choose a restaurant to her liking.“I don’t mind anything.” Sally narrowed her eyes. “Really?” “Really.” The red BMW sped down the highway. In the end, Sally brought Elijah to a Caribbean restaurant. Hot red peppers, red hot spices. Elijah furrowed his brows as he looked at the spicy dishes on the table. “Since when did you enjoy these dishes?” He remembered that she liked desserts. She liked the honey garlic chicken that the Golden Age served, and she also liked cakes and buttercream. It had only been five years since they had last met… but not only had her personality become feisty, her taste in food has also changed? “I’ve always enjoyed the
“Sal.” Elijah gazed at her. “It was my fault.“I never… took the time to actually know you.“I thought you genuinely liked the things you told me you liked.” The man’s ink-colored eyes were tinged with a tinge of guilt. “I should have guessed. “With a soul as gentle as yours… you would have put on a show to make me happy.” He smiled as he spoke. “Now, it’s my turn to make you happy.“Is there anything you like that you haven’t told me yet? You can tell me now.” Sally’s face turned red from panic as she looked at his pale face. “Stop talking! Follow me back to the hospital!” Still pale, Elijah comforted her. “I’m fine.” “How can you say that you’re fine!” She sounded as if she was about to cry. “Don’t you know that you have a weak stomach?“You would always have an upset stomach after eating spicy food, and you were even diagnosed with gastritis two years ago! How dare you joke around!?” Then, she dragged him to his feet and out of the booth. They immediately walke
————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
