The little nurse blushed nervously.The other little nurse smiled at Sally. "We’re not talking about Freya's husband!""It's her… brother."I heard that his brother is still single now."Sally was startled. "Her brother?"‘Elijah?’"Correct."The little nurses pushed each other playfully and blushed. "He’s so handsome.""I heard that he’s rich too.”"Wealth is of secondary importance. The main point is that he’s handsome and classy. Every action and mannerism of his is so sexy…”After the little nurses gabbled and talked over each other a number of times, they began to look at Sally expectantly. "Dr. Summers, you already have a family, so you might not understand how excited us single ladies feel when we see such a high-quality man…"We’ve talked about this for a long time but we still want you to help us to get Freya's brother’s contact information... What comes next will depend on our own ability and determination..."If one of us is lucky enough to get into a long-term r
Sally was hosting an open classroom at Gunter City Medical School that afternoon. As usual, she had prepared her materials according to what the students at Gunter City Medical School were used to and started the class at two o’clock sharp. As the best cardiologist in Gunter City, Sally was confident in her ability to host a good class. However, she met an unreasonable female student that afternoon. “Miss.” When Sally opened the floor for questions, the female student stood and stared at her. “Are all heart diseases treatable?” Sally nodded. “Theoretically, if the heart isn’t riddled with holes, we should be able to treat it with modern medical techniques.” The student narrowed her eyes. “What if the heart has always been horrid? Can your wonderful hands save it?” Sally immediately understood that the “heart” the student was referring to was not the same as the one she had been lecturing about. However, she still smiled as she said, “No one is born evil. As others hav
Besides, ever since she told Zane to stop, he had not sent her flowers for over a year. “Professor, did your husband send you the flowers?” A girl sitting in the first row smiled at Sally. “You’re so lucky, Professor!” Sally chuckled awkwardly. Because she had her two kids with her, she was always asked about the whereabouts of the children’s father. In the end, she agreed with Zane to announce to the public that she was married to him. That way, not only could she give the men who were interested in her an outright rejection, but also save herself the trouble of explaining why she was a single mother. Thus, in the eyes of the public, Zane Larson was her husband. Only a select few knew that she and Zane were actually like brother and sister. “Pfft.”Charmaine, the student who had posed a question to her earlier, sneered. “She’s happy, but what about the person whose heart she broke?” “What a hypocrite.” Charmaine’s voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for every
Sally scoffed as she listened to Charmaine’s baseless accusations. The gentleness in her eyes vanished. She had long since understood that being too kind would only lead to being taken advantage of. She glared at Charmaine. “I’m a two-timer?“I don’t recall ever having two-timed you. Do I need to use the fact that I have two children to prove that I’m straight to you?” The room fell silent after hearing what Sally had to say. A split second later, everyone began roaring with laughter. Charmaine was stunned. She had probably not expected Sally to use her own words against her. Then, she sneered and glared at Sally. “You’ve finally shown your true colors.“I always told Bro Chandler that you’re a hypocrite, but he never believed me!“You’re showing your true colors now, aren’t you!?“You’re not kind or lovable at all. You’re just a two-timing b*tch!”Sally’s brows furrowed together. She had heard Charmaine utter the name Chandler. Narrowing her eyes, she sized Charma
“Have you long since forgotten that you had a boyfriend who ruined his entire life for you?” The longer Charmaine spoke, the angrier and more emotional she became. She soon started sobbing at the end of her sentences. She struggled free of the security guard’s grasp and said while sobbing “Sally Summers, don’t think that I don’t know your secret!“You have two kids and also a husband!“But that man beside you has been trying to get you to date him for a long time!“Not only did you not reject him, you even got a hotel room with him!” With that, she showed the photo on her phone. That photo had been taken the day Sally had taken Elijah to the Caribbean restaurant and helped him back to the hotel room because he had a stomach ache.Because of the angle from which the photo had been taken, she seemed to be smiling as she held onto Elijah’s arm.The room exploded with a flurry of whispers after everyone saw the picture and heard what Charmaine had to say. Sally was considere
Startled, it took Charmaine a split second to realize that Elijah was twisting her own words to insult her. The woman’s face turned green. “I just couldn’t stand it!” “And that’s where the problem comes in.” Elijah smiled. “If even you, a university student, knew of this inside story and could not stand it, do you think the medical community in Gunter City would not have heard of it? Do you think they need to rely on a university student to bring them justice?” Charmaine’s face paled. She gritted her teeth and was about to say more when Sally frowned and walked back onto the podium. “I rarely talk about Chandler’s malpractice. This is because he was my first student and my best partner. My heart aches when I remember what happened to him.” “I hope that no one gossips about him. I know what his thought process was back then, but a mistake is a mistake.” Then, she glared at Charmaine. “I don’t know who instructed you to come here and spread rumors about how this incident
“I would like to eat your homemade dumplings tonight.” Sally rolled her eyes. “I’m not in the mood.” She had no idea why a person demanding justice for Chandler would appear all of a sudden. It was as if she was an evil person. When her hand was badly injured, she had needed to make a trip to Europe to receive treatment every once in a while. Once, when she was away for treatment, the hospital had admitted a patient with complicated symptoms. Without consulting Sally beforehand, Chandler had assumed that the patient’s case was identical to one they had previously worked on and had wanted to prove his capabilities. Thus, Chandler had lied to the hospital without Sally’s knowledge. He had told them that Sally was the one who had decided on the surgical procedure and requested to be the one who operated on the patient. At the time, the patient was pressed for time, and the hospital had been unable to contact Sally. They had chosen to trust Chandler. As a result, a seriou
”Because I know you better than anyone else.”It was hard not to feel touched when Elijah uttered the words in his calm, low voice. Sally’s heart jolted slightly. It did not matter if Elijah had said this sentence now or five years before. Her heart would always jolt with excitement and warmth every time she heard him say that. Especially at times like this. They had been separated for a whole five years, Five years was enough time to change a lot of things. It was enough to completely change a person from head to toe. However, when they had met again and she was being slandered, Elijah would still sit calmly in the backseat of her car and say, “I know you better than anyone else.” Such affection and kindness touched her. The woman sighed as a smile tugged on the corners of her lips. “Well then, thank you, Mr. Moses.” “You’re welcome, Dr. Summers.” Elijah cushioned his head against his arms. “I saw a few students capturing photographs in the lecture hall just now.
————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
