What a shame he had not known to treasure it in the past. It was only now that he realized how much he missed those moments. The man sighed faintly and picked up his cup to take a sip of water. Freya’s enthusiastic text popped up on his screen. “So, how did it go little bro?” “I just heard from my nurse that Dr Summers was blushing as she left with a handsome man. Where did you bring her?” Elijah laughed bitterly as he texted her a reply. “Since when were you so invested in my relationship with Sally?” “I should always have been this invested.Freya had an apologetic expression on her face. “It’s a pity I never understood the relationship between a couple at the start. If I had known, I would have never…“But that’s all in the past. All you need to focus on now is getting Sal back for yourself and bringing the two Moses children home!” Elijah smiled faintly. “I would like that to happen too.” The man glanced toward the kitchen as he typed out that reply, a smile tuggi
When Sally entered the room again, Elijah had not taken a single bite of the oatmeal on his bedside table. The woman put down the medicine before turning to look at him. “Why didn’t you eat? Do you not have an appetite?” Leaning against the headboard, the man had taken off his jacket and unbuttoned the top two buttons on his thin shirt. Stained with a light layer of sweat, he looked oddly seducing. He was currently lounging against the headboard, staring at Sally with a weak, seducing gaze. “I have no appetite.” Sally’s heart twinged as she stared at him. Coughing lightly, she turned away and said, “Well, you still have to eat even if you have no appetite.” “Your stomach isn’t feeling well…” She started feeling guilty as she saw how weak he seemed to be. She should not have childishly decided to bring him to a Caribbean restaurant when he offered to treat her to dinner. Knowing full well that he could not take spices but still deciding to order multiple spicy dishes…
However, she could at least savor this hug with a clean conscience. “Sal.” The man’s low voice reverberated through his chest and into Sally’s ear. She pursed her lips and hummed softly in response. “What’s up?” “Is there any way…” The man’s eyes were shut as he said seriously, “To help me get used to eating spicy food?“I don’t want you to give up spicy food for me in the future, nor do I want to only watch as you eat food you enjoy.“I want to…” “Don’t even think about it!” Sally pursed her lips. “You’ve always had a weak stomach and a low tolerance of spice. It’s natural. Don’t think about it!” “But…” “No buts.” She was just as stubborn as she was five years ago. “Accept the fact that you can’t eat spicy food. No need to force yourself.” “But you like it…” “It’s my business if I like it.” Sally sighed. “Don’t force yourself if you can’t take it.” “But…” “No buts.” The woman shut her eyes and sighed helplessly. “To be honest, I’m not the biggest fan
With that, Sally grabbed her coat and stepped out the door. Stephen was staring at her with an adoring look on his face. “Dr. Summers, we haven’t seen each other for half a month, but you’re just as beautiful as ever.” Sally frowned and looked at him. “Let’s find a place to sit down. Your heart is fine, but if you’re still worried, I can perform a few simple tests on you.” “Alright, alright!” Stephen stared adoringly at Sally. “I’ll get a room prepared now…” Sally frowned. “We’re of opposite genders, and we’re alone. Don’t get a room.” Then, she glanced at the resting areas used to look over the scenery. “Let’s go sit there.” Stephen pursed his lips and mumbled, “Well, I like to be alone with you…” Sally walked toward the scenic spot with her coat and bag in her hands. Stephen followed behind her unwillingly. The two had just taken two steps forth when the door behind them burst open. Startled, Stephen turned instinctively toward the door. A man in a white shirt a
Jostled back to his senses, Stephen asked, “Did he force you to do anything?” Startled, Sally hurriedly shook her head and said, “No, no.” Stephen frowned and looked suspiciously at Sally. “So, the two of you were inside…” Sally felt a headache coming on. Taking a deep breath, she said, “My ex-husband wasn’t feeling well. I was taking care of him.” Stephen had connections with many people in the hospital. She did not want them to know of the progress of her relationship with Elijah. Thus, she smiled at Stephen and said, “You know me, I’m a kind doctor.” “He might be my ex-husband, but I won’t deny him if he needs my care when he’s sick…” Stephen’s eyes glittered as he gazed at Sally. “Dr. Summers, you’re such a kind angel, just as I expected!” Sally, “...”Coughing lightly, she said, “Mr. Xavier, didn’t you want me to give you a check-up?” “Come over here…” Stephen jogged over happily to where Sally was standing. “Thank you for all your hard work, Dr. Summers!”
Stephen Hotels was the largest, most luxurious five-star hotel in Gunter City, but the dining hall was now in pin-drop silence. Stephen had had the manager remove all personnel from the dining room so that he could treat Sally and Elijah to dinner. Stephen, Sally, and Elijah sat in the large, empty dining hall. The three sat in an odd formation at the long, rectangular table. Sally sat on one side, whilst Stephen and Elijah sat on the other side.From their position, both men would think that Sally was looking at him. The waiters began bringing out dishes once they had settled into their seats. Elijah leaned against the comfortable seat and smiled as he looked at the dishes before him. Stephen had put a lot of effort into knowing Sally. Else, this table would not be laden with dishes that she enjoyed. As he thought of that, the man’s lips curled into a faint smile as he looked toward Sally before asking Stephen, “The dishes you prepared, are they all dishes that Sally
“Secondly, Dr. Summers is still eating. We should at least let her finish her meal in peace, right?” Stephen thought about it for a second before deciding that it made sense and stood up to bid goodbye to Sally. “Please enjoy, Dr. Summers. We’ll be talking outside.” Sally did not even have time to react before the two men had stood up and entered the elevator. Sally, “...” She stood up and was about to run after them, but she had barely taken two steps before she paused. Never mind. They could do whatever they liked. She wanted to be rid of both these men. It was a good thing they were together now. Thus, she had no qualms as she continued eating, and paid the bill after finishing her meal. Ten minutes later, her tread was light as she got out of the elevator onto the first floor. However, she heard the receptionist say frantically, “Hello, is this Central Hospital?” “Please send an ambulance over, our Young Master is unconscious…” “I don’t know what happened, but
WIth that, the woman pushed Elijah’s arm away from her and sprinted toward Stephen’s room. Elijah stood unmoving. His eyes narrowed. The ambulance soon arrived. Sally worked alongside the hotel employees to transfer Stephen onto a stretcher and left with the ambulance. When they were getting into the ambulance outside the hotel, she saw Elijah standing at the door, gazing darkly toward her direction. The woman gritted her teeth and slammed the door to the ambulance shut. He was not worth it! Their relationship was totally different from what it used to be five years ago. Even if he wanted to try getting her to date him again, he needed time too. They were still virtually strangers, and he had already dared to do something like that toward one of her suitors. Besides! Stephen was a patient! He just told Elijah that he had a weak heart! And what had resulted in that was he had gotten into a fight with Stephen, causing him to faint! They had not met for five year
————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
