“I’ve already been burdenless for ten years.”

The man looked at her. His low voice was distant and sad as he said, “I’ve been lonely for so many years and have always hoped that someone could become my burden. That way, I would still have something to do.”

Sally was shocked. Thinking of Elijah’s tragic life experience, her heart became even more uneasy. “You won’t think I’m annoying?”

He had been free for so many years. Now, he had gained her as a wife and was now involved with a bunch of very difficult relatives. Any person would be annoyed, right?

It was also because she had thought of it that she would hide the fact that Sylvia had been blackmailing her.

“Sometimes, having no worries is also a kind of worry.”

Sally was speechless. “…”

Fine. She really did not understand a rich person’s world.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at him and told him everything that had transpired in the past few days.

“Actually, it’s not that I’m scared of Aunt Sylvia. I just don’t want Grandma

    Sally smiled cheekily. She patted Shawn on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, don’t worry."After they were done with their private conversation, Shawn turned around and smiled at Elijah. "Young Master Elijah, go ahead and visit Grandma Summers, I'll get everyone something to eat."Elijah gave him a faint smile; His voice was detached. "Thank you."After Shawn left, Dr. Chinn frowned slightly and said, "Why do I feel like I have seen him before?""You’ve met my uncle before?"Sally, who was walking in front, stopped abruptly and looked back at Dr. Chinn. "What are the odds? My uncle rarely goes into the city. If it wasn't for Grandma being hospitalized, he wouldn't be here either."Dr. Chinn pondered on it for a while. "He does look familiar.""Maybe you remembered incorrectly?"Elijah put a stop to the conversation and said, "Let's go in."Sally then turned her attention back toward Grandma Summers. She knocked on the door of her ward and said, "Grandma, this is Sal. I am here to

    "I have no complaints about you marrying him."Grandma Summers looked at the girl in front of her who was choosing her words cautiously and sighed lightly. "Elijah is a good man… It's just that he is blinded by hate..."The old woman looked at Sally with a profound expression on her face and said, "Sal, you are a good kid. You will listen to Grandma’s advice, right?"Sally nodded hard and said, "Of course."As long as Grandma Summers was not triggered by her marriage, she was willing to do anything."Have a baby with Elijah."Grandma Summers looked at Sally’s charming little face and said, "He is not young anymore, and his health is not the best. I think it would be good if you two were to have a kid as soon as possible. Maybe after having a child, his heart will soften a little."Sally's face turned bright red because of what Grandma Summers said. "Grandma..."She bit her lip and said, "I hear you. I will do my best."Grandma Summers could not help but laugh when she saw ho

    After a few dozen of her ideas were axed, Evonne rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "This won't work, that won't work, why don’t you just roofie him? Since you can’t stimulate a physiological impulse, then just go with pharmacology.""It won't harm his body, right?"Sally was a little worried. After all, Elijah's body was not in the best state.Evonne rolled her eyes. "As long as the dosage is not excessive, it will not harm him.""What if he overdoses?""That may hurt your body."Sally was speechless.Sally got home very late that night.When she got home, Elijah was sitting at the dining table waiting for her as usual.She walked over slowly and sat down beside him. She then habitually picked up a spoon to feed him, but he stopped her."I can do it myself."As he said that, Elijah picked up his utensils and then started eating like a normal person.Looking at Elijah acting as such, Sally sighed and said, "If you didn't cover your eyes with a black silk cloth, I wouldn't

    "Yes."Sally took a deep breath and started urging again, heavily blushing. "Drink up.""You'd better not regret this."The man's thin lips parted and spat out the five words lightly.Sally was stunned, and before she could respond, the man took the glass from her hand.He held the glass and drank until there was not a drop of water left.Then he put the glass back into her hand. "Aren't you going to give me a bath?"Sally finally came to senses and hurried to the bathroom. "I'll prepare the bath for you first."She had only just turned and taken a few steps when the man grabbed her wrist."I'll bathe after we're done with this."A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.The next second, he pulled Sally straight into his arms…The man's cold and aggressive aura filled the room, and Sally's face looked like she was on fire.His hand ran softly over her pretty little face.Her face was small, with a regular oval face and a pointy chin. Her dark eyes fluttered like t

    The sunlight peeked in through a corner of the curtain. Sally turned over in her bed and blocked out the light with her hand.She began to regain consciousness. She frowned and opened her misty eyes as her mind went blank for two seconds, then, all the cells in her body began screaming with pain.'Last night…'The maiden blushed.She hurriedly washed up and went downstairs, where the man with the black silk over his eyes was sitting indifferently on the couch with the butler reading the news reverently beside him.Hearing the sound of her coming downstairs, the man's deep voice rang lightly. "Are you awake?"Sally blushed and muttered, "Yep", before she hurried to the kitchen."You’re awake, Madam?"Aunt Leigh walked out of the kitchen with breakfast. She looked at Sally with a smile. "Breakfast's done. You just have to go there and wait for it."Sally was a little embarrassed. "I'm supposed to make breakfast..."'It's all Evonne's fault!''She said it's all right to use the

    The maiden blushed and left quickly with the backpack strapped to her back.Sitting in his wheelchair, Elijah watched her walk away from him and unconsciously touched the area where she had just kissed him.He smiled faintly. "That silly girl.""Sir."Once the sound of Ol' Joe starting the car outside was heard, Pierre walked up carefully behind Elijah. "Should I get madam any medicine... for that?"Elijah raised his eyebrows lightly. "What?"The butler advised kindly, "Madam's still young and you've not been fit to have children in recent years..."The butler's voice trailed off as he realized that the man's aura was getting colder and colder. "Besides, if Madam got pregnant, won't that go against Sire's plan?"Elijah smiled lightly. "Tell me, if a silly girl got pregnant, wouldn't it make her sillier?"Pierre was rendered speechless."All right, Sir. I see."With that, Pierre breathed a sigh of relief.It seemed that this little madam was really Sir's best cure.…"How

    Javier thought of himself as a little ridiculous as he said this.When he got Mindy's phone call, he was worried that something might have happened to Sally so he anxiously called her as he went to the university to look for her.However, when he found her, she was bashfully telling her friend about her love affair with her husband."Ah..."Sally patted her forehead somewhat ruefully. "I forgot about the part-time job at the nursing home!"With that, she pulled Evonne's hand off her shoulder and got ready to set off for her part-time job.Evonne frowned and grabbed her hand. "Why do you still care about that lame part-time job?"Isn't the problem resolved?"Grandma Summers had met Elijah, and she was not angry nor did it trigger her illness. Instead, she earnestly asked Sally to bear children for Elijah.Without Grandma Summers to worry about, Sally did not have to worry about Sylvia's threats, and she would not have to pay for Liam's medical bills.Why did she have to work s

    His classmates even teased him, "Your junior seems to like you a lot. Won't you confess your feelings to her?"He smiled lightly. "There are many juniors that like me."...Now, she still looked at him with respect, but she gave that hint of starlight in her eyes to another man.The car soon arrived at the nursing home.Javier left after sending Sally to her workplace."Tsk tsk tsk. You even have a handsome guy to escort you?"Mindy sneered as she threw a pile of sheets that needed washing in front of Sally. "You didn't come yesterday so I saved these for you."Sally looked at the mountain of sheets and quilt covers in front of her and was in a dilemma. "Hasn't the washing machine been fixed yet?"The other day she washed the sheets here all afternoon and went home with sore wrists!Besides, the sheets were made of some canvas-like fabric. They were very tough, so washing them by hand did not get them as clean as it would with a washing machine."Sorry, the washing machine i

    ————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
