”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.

    Elijah frowned as he looked out the window. It was the entrance to Sally’s house, which was now also the entrance to Elijah’s house. “Get out.” The woman frowned slightly. “It’s three in the afternoon now. I still need to go to the hospital and pick up my kids from kindergarten.” Elijah pursed his lips, creating an obstinate expression on his face. “I want to protect you.” “So wherever you go, I’ll go.” Sally spluttered with laughter. “Protect me?” “Did you learn this from those web fictions again?” The woman turned and gazed at Elijah, disdain evident in her clear eyes. “Can you grow up?” “I liked reading web fiction five years ago.” “I only read medical journals now.” Elijah nodded. “Then I’ll go try to make sense of medical journals.” Sally, “...” She sighed and unlocked the car door. “I don’t care what you’re going to make sense of.” “But Mr. Moses, I’m going to need you to get out of the car.”Elijah frowned and stared at Sally with his jet-black eyes.

    Evonne was waiting in Sally’s office with her arms across her chest when she returned to the hospital. “I already saw the news on Facebook.” Evonne’s figure was long and slender in her white coat. She crossed her arms and leaned back into the chair as she stared coolly at Sally. “All you did was give a lecture, and you managed to cause such a stir.” Sally did not even have to think to know what Evonne was talking about. She walked calmly over to her seat and sat down. “I have already investigated and explained everything that should have been done about Chandler two years ago. A guilty conscience needs no accuser.” Evonne raised an eyebrow and continued staring at her. “Did you think I was talking about Chandler again?” “Chandler’s issue has already been set in stone. The investigative team did a thorough investigation back then. What more could he come up with?” “I’m talking about this!” As the woman spoke, she unlocked her phone and found a picture. It was a picture

    However, if he had not been talking to his blind date on the phone… who could it have been? Based on her knowledge of him, he would not talk to another man like that. As for women… Freya, the woman he was closest to, was still recovering in Gunter Hospital. The woman ruffled her hair irritably. Evonne glanced at her. She seemed to want to say something but swallowed her words at the last second. A second later, she clapped Sally on the shoulder. “I’ve snooped around for you. He’s never had close contact with any women for the past five years.” “But… many women have their eyes on him.” “Don’t worry.” Sally nodded. A second later, she realized what was wrong. “Why should I be worried?” She was not planning to get back together with Elijah. “It’s going to come sooner or later.” Evonne sighed. “Besides… you guys have something else to solve after you get back together.” Sally frowned. “What’s that?” “You’ll know in the future.” Sighing, Evonne turned and t

    After dropping Sam and Sarah off at kindergarten the next morning, Sally consulted the address the director had given her and drove towards the county where Chandler was staying. From the urban center with heavy traffic to the suburbs to the highway to the remote country roads. A black Land Rover could be seen behind Sally’s car for the entire journey. From the rearview mirror, Sally could see that the Land Rover behind her… had a license plate from A City. It was someone from A City. She did not even have to put any thought into knowing who was following her. Finally, she could no longer stand it and put in her bluetooth earpiece as she dialed Elijah’s number. “Are you following me?” The man on the other end of the line remained silent for a split second. “You saw me?” Sally, “...” They were so blatantly following her, and even driving a Land Rover that was large and conspicuous in terms of both size and model. Wasn’t that so she could notice them? “I’m going to me

    The woman had a flash of inspiration and dialed Elijah’s number. “I have a task for you.” A minute later, Sally started the engine of her red BMW and drove to another street. Elijah’s black Land Rover pulled up before the entrance to Chandler’s clinic. The tall man got out of the car and entered the clinic. “I know.” Elijah was still standing at the entrance when he heard a man’s clear voice say helplessly, “Dr. Summers is an extremely talented and skilled doctor.” “I’m quite happy to hear that she can now operate on patients herself.” The man sighed. “Don’t worry, Professor. I won’t say anything.” Through the frosted glass door, Elijah could see a man in a white coat lowering his head humbly. “I’m very sorry about what happened with Charmaine. I’d never mentioned the malpractice before her, but I… got drunk a month ago…” “I told her not to spread the word the next day, but I didn’t know that she would run off to Gunter City and even… even slander Dr. Summers before so

    Elijah raised his eyes and swept his gaze across Chandler’s face. The man had a white coat on over his thin figure, but there was no gloom on his face. He smiled as he gazed at Elijah. “Are you a journalist?” Elijah nodded. “Sort of.” “But I don’t think you are.” Chandler smiled as he used his clear eyes to sweep a glance across Elijah’s chiseled face. “A journalist would not have an aura like yours.” Elijah smiled. “What aura do I have?”“Noble, aloof, without a care in the world. However, you have a clear goal, and you’re willing to do anything to get there.” The man turned to pour Elijah a glass of water, which he placed before him. “Am I right, sir?” Elijah smiled, praise for Chandler appearing in his eyes. “Why didn’t you kick me out if you had guessed that I wasn’t a journalist?” “Because I think you might be a friend of Dr. Summers.”A smile tugged on the corners of Chandler’s lips as he sat down on the couch in front of Elijah.Elijah could see admiration s

    “That counts too.” Chandler pursed his lips. “But the main thing is that her hand was once severely burnt…” Elijah was startled. “Burnt?” He was about to ask follow-up questions when the door to the clinic was pushed open. A woman in a red coat and black boots stepped in through the door. Chandler nearly dropped his cup. He shot to his feet and stared at Sally. “Dr… Dr. Summers…” Sally nodded slightly at him before she walked in slowly. She had seen Assistant Director Landt stay by the entrance to his clinic for a long time before leaving. The minute she left, Sally had driven over to the clinic. She was worried that Elijah would lose his temper and punch Chandler. It did not matter if Chandler was crooked or not. Elijah could not hit him either way. After all, this was a small county, not a large city. His connections and power were useless here. Which was why she burst right into the clinic. However, what surprised her was that the two men did not have the

    Chandler pursed his lips and glanced at both Sally and Elijah before he rubbed his hands together and slumped into the couch. “I… told her the truth after I got drunk.” Anger flared in Sally’s chest. “The truth?” Truth her ass! Did his version of the truth mean telling Christine that he was taking the blame for her!? She had been undergoing treatment when the operation happened. She had been suffering from the pain of having her flesh removed, and he had the nerve to say that she was the one who had come up with the operation plan? She could not even take care of herself. Why would she come up with an operation plan for him? Truth? “Yes.” Chandler sighed and gazed at Sally with his clear eyes. “Dr. Summers, I don’t want to lie to you.” “I understand that you aren’t willing to admit what happened all those years ago, but now…” He glanced at Elijah. “This man here does not seem to be an outsider. I’ll be straightforward.” “Regarding that operation, you did call me

    ————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
