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

    Evonne sighed, raised her hand and rubbed her head. "We’ll know after Stephen wakes up in a while.”Sally nodded.The two women waited outside the emergency room for more than half an hour.Half an hour later, the emergency room door opened and the nurse pushed Stephen into a nearby ward.The doctor who was in charge of Stephen stepped out and patted Sally on the shoulder. "The patient called to see you."Sally got up quickly and strode into the ward.Inside the ward, Stephen leaned against the ward bedframe with a pale face and looked at Sally with tears overflowing from his eyes. "Dr. Summers..."When Sally saw that grown man teary-eyed, she felt really bad. She pursed her lips, strode over, and handed him a piece of tissue. "I’m here.”Stephen sniffed and took the tissue to wipe his tears with distress. "Dr. Summers, this is very hard for me.”Sally pursed her lips and sat on the chair beside his bed, comforting him softly. "It's okay. It's all over.“I promised you that E

    "I told you, Elijah’s not that kind of a person.”As they sat in the office, Evonne poured a cup of tea for Sally as she shook her head faintly. "Stephen never played by the rules. You’d get more trust if you put your trust in a stray dog by the roadside than if you put your trust in him.”Sally laid her head on her desk dejectedly. "I really misunderstood Elijah."She closed her eyes, and she could still see the figure of the man standing before the entrance of the hotel. She recalled how lonely and desolate he looked.He never did anything horrible to her patients.However, she put a bunch of blame on him.The woman sighed helplessly and covered her face. “What am I supposed to do?”She felt that Elijah must think of her as someone who found fault with somebody for no reason whatsoever, that he must think of her as an aggressive and unreasonable person.It was all Stephen’s fault!"Why don't you apologize to him?"Evonne sat across from her, reading a magazine while drinkin

    Sally stared at the video on Stephen's phone. She wiped her eyes and found the corners of her eyes wet.The woman sniffed, "Can you send me a copy of this video?""Of course!"Stephen nodded, and quickly emailed the video to Sally. "By the way, Dr. Summers, my bro Elijah has done so much for you. Aren’t you moved?"Sally nodded and downloaded the video file. "Of course I’m moved.""Then will you guys get back together?”Stephen continued looking at Sally with that fanboy gaze of his from last time. "Doesn't you feeling moved by him mean that you don’t actually feel that conflicted toward him deep down in your heart?”He looked at Sally seriously. "My bro Elijah has sincere feelings toward you, Dr. Summers.""When he showed me this video at noon today, he told me a lot of what happened and what he had to go through when he was looking for you over the years."I am deeply aware of the huge difference between me and him."Even though I said that I like you, I can't be like him,

    "Oh, man. That’s too bad..."The doctors and nurses walked away disappointedly, and Sally let out a long sigh of relief as she finally sat in the driver's seat.‘Forget it.’Since Elijah had no intention of continuing to pester her, she should be happy, so why was she feeling sad? ‘All his talk about his deep affection for her, about him broadcasting his search for her on huge central screens in major cities all over the world for five whole years…‘They were all fake!‘All fake!’All she did was scold him on impulse before finding out what actually happened!That was all it took to make him give up, not show up for the entire afternoon, give up on pestering her, and give up annoying her!That meant that his feelings for her were weak, so why did he even bother making the video of him looking for her for five years?!‘Bastard!’She cursed him in her heart as she started the car and zoomed to the kindergarten."Mommy!"As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the kind

    Sally drove the car to her little apartment where she lived with the kids.The woman stopped the car and opened the door. "Sam! Sarah! Time to get down!”The little girl in the white princess dress slowly got out of the car.Behind her, Sam carried his backpack on his back and carefully got out of the car."What do you guys want to have for dinner?"Sally asked softly as she locked the car."We still have tomatoes at home, so let's make a scrambled egg with tomatoes."Sam looked like a tiny adult, carrying his sister's schoolbag in one hand and holding her little hand in the other. "Little Sarah ate a lot of scrambled egg with tomatoes during lunchtime in kindergarten. I think she’s becoming greedy.”Little Sarah's eyes widened. "I’m not!”It was because the other food made by the kindergarten lunch lady was far too salty and the only sweet-tasting ones were scrambled eggs with tomatoes. That was the only reason she ate so much of it!It was not because she was greedy!Sam g

    Even though Sam was only five years old, he was very smart. That was not his first time going downstairs to buy salt or anything. Even though she used to worry about him, she was not anymore."Five bucks won’t be enough, Mommy."Sam blinked and looked at Sally. "I’ll need to make up for the calories I burn going downstairs with a stick of ice cream."And I can't be the only one eating the ice cream while Sarah watches me eat! So, Mommy, you have to give me extra money for two ice creams!"Sally glanced helplessly at her five-year-old son who was already so calculative. “You clever little thing.”After that, she took another ten bucks from her pocket and put it in his hand. "You can buy two of the nicer ice creams today.""Yay!"Little Sarah who was wearing a pink bunny onesie clapped. "Mommy’s the best!"Sally looked helplessly at Sam. “Alright, go and come back quickly.”"Okay!"After her son's responded, Sally turned around and went to the kitchen.When Sam changed into hi

    "Mister, why don't you like strawberries?"Little Sarah sat on the sofa with her pink bunny onesie as she ate the strawberries. Her big watery eyes looked up at Elijah. "Strawberries are so delicious, why don't you like them?""I just don’t.”Elijah sat beside her and smiled at her. "Do you like strawberries?""I do!"Little Sarah nodded fiercely. "But my brother said that strawberries are expensive and that I can't ask Mommy to buy them for me every day."Mommy works hard!"Elijah's eyes darkened slightly."Did your mommy tell you that or did your brother tell you that?""My big brother!"Little Sarah said with a smile. "My big brother said that Mommy’s working very hard."But Mommy always says that she isn’t."That confuses me because I don't know whether Mommy is working hard or not.""Your mommy..."Elijah raised her hand and rubbed her jet-black hair. "She’s probably working hard.""My big brother said the same!"The man nodded.Throughout the five years, she took

    ’Strawberry ice cream isn’t as delicious as real strawberries!’By the time little Sarah finished her ice cream after a long time, the meal Sally cooked was almost room temperature.When Sam saw that his sister was still not in a hurry, he walked over, raised his hand and wiped the ice cream from the corner of her mouth. "Go wash your hands to prepare for dinner!"Little Sarah frowned. "I'm not hungry anymore."She just ate so many strawberries at the Mister's place next door and had a stick of ice cream. Her belly was filled to the brim, bulging, and she could not eat anything else.Sally furrowed her eyebrows. "You’re full after such a small amount of food?”The ice cream Sam bought for little Sarah was not a large one. It was around 50g. Even though ice creams were high in calories, one could not get full from a single stick of ice cream, right?"Yeah."Little Sarah rubbed her belly embarrassedly. "I can't eat anymore!""Mommy, Sam. Enjoy your meal. I’ll be over here watchi

    ————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
