Elijah smiled mildly.The man lifted his eyes to glance lightly at the woman before him. “You’re praising my attention to detail?”Sally was startled slightly.A moment later, she turned her slightly reddened face away. “Guess so.”Maybe he did pay attention to detail, or maybe she was absorbed in her studies and could not think of too many possibilities.In any case, when she heard that recording for the first time today in Chandler’s clinic, her entire mind went blank.She knew that this voice was definitely not hers.Yet it made such a similar sound, used such a similar tone.She had no idea how to defend herself.If Chandler had really taken out this recording two years ago, and she did not have Elijah by her side, what would have happened to her?Thinking of this, Sally’s heart warmed a little.It was good that he was here.It was good that she had him.Otherwise…She really would have found it impossible to dismiss the suspicion.Releasing a deep breath, the woman
“Elijah, whatever happened between us ended long ago!“You’re my neighbor now, and you’ve helped me out a lot. I just… just think of you as a friend!“Don’t think too much!”The man smiled mildly, his gaze playful as he looked at her. “I’m thinking too much?”He put his fork down and wiped his mouth lightly, then he stood up and slowly moved closer to her. “Am I thinking too much, or is your imagination just too rich?“I said you should know what I want, but what did you think of, Dr. Summers?”Sally gritted her teeth, then moved back subconsciously.What had she thought of?His implications were so obvious, how could she not think of…Moreover, after reuniting with him, he had previously… tried to do it in the hospital lounge.This man had no limits!She nervously backtracked, moving back again…Finally—With a thump, Sally fell off the couch entirely, landing on the soft carpet.“Stupid.”The man gave a throaty laugh. He got up to pull her up from the carpet.Sally sl
The atmosphere in the living room was so quiet that it was a little awkward.Sally and Elijah locked eyes for a long while.The woman’s eyes were incensed; the man’s eyes were icy.A moment later, Sally finally turned her face away, not allowing him to see her reddened face. “No means no.”Sam and Little Sarah had just asked about their daddy earlier tonight, and she had seriously spelled out that they would not have a daddy in the near future.Now Elijah wanted to bring the two kids out to play.Under what name would he be bringing them out?Daddy?Neighbor?Or her friend?Elijah and Sam were so similar, something would definitely happen the moment they went out.“Dr. Summers.”Elijah put his fork down. He leaned on the couch gracefully, crossing one leg over the other. His hands covered his knee elegantly, posing like he was about to negotiate with her. “Dr. Summers, since you’ve said earlier that you and I are just friends now—and friends who aren’t very close at that.
Sally, "...""Hehe, sure. Don't be embarrassed if the children don’t go back with you when that happens!"Of course, she knew the children that she gave birth to were the best!They would definitely not go with Elijah!Although Little Sarah was usually greedy, she could never leave her Mommy!Sam was clever and handled things clearly. He would never abandon her for a little favor!"Fine."Elijah laughed in a low voice and looked up at Sally. "But in order to solve the problem of Assistant Director Landt framing you... I’ll need your cooperation."When Sally heard that he was finally talking business, she no longer dilly-dallied. She looked up at Elijah seriously. "What do you need me to do?""First of all."The man smiled faintly. "I’ll need you to suffer a little injustice. You’ll have to go to the director and admit to the matter as your mistake. Say that what happened back then was indeed your fault..."——————Early the next morning, Sally knocked on the door tp the dire
"Professor, about the recording... I have it."After coming out of the director's office, Assistant Director Landt went directly to her office, locked the door, and called Chandler."But Professor."Chandler sighed faintly on the other end of the phone, "I won't give you the recording."Chandler had always been weak and apologetic. He was a pushover for all those who were kind to him, so he could not expose Assistant Director Landt’s conspiracy.He could only sigh faintly. "Professor, let’s just end the whole thing here."We should just leave everything that happened two years ago as it is. There’s no need for us to open up this can of worms again."He did not know why Sally had suddenly confessed to the director to reverse the case, but... he did not want take Sally down with him nor did he want to ruin Assistant Director Landt’s reputation because of that incident."Let it all end with me."Assistant Director Landt, who was on the other end of the phone, stomped her feet in
The director furiously drove her out of the office, "Don't ask me to reverse Chandler's case if there’s no evidence!"Do you have nothing better to do?"What about the topic that you discussed with me a month ago? Research that! I want to see your innovations and changes in that field within a week!""Director..."Before Sally could defend herself, the director's office’s door slammed shut with a bang."Dr. Summers."When Assistant Director Landt saw that Sally was being scolded by the director again, she smiled pretentiously and patted Sally on the shoulder. "Director has been in a bad mood because of his family."So don't piss him off any further."Sally pursed her lips and remembered the plan Elijah told her before. She sighed helplessly and glanced up at Assistant Director Landt. "You know how bad Chandler is doing right now."After speaking, she shook her head. "Can I go to your office for a while and have a chat with you?"Assistant Director Landt was overjoyed and nodd
Elijah smiled. "I'm relieved that you think so too."Freya curled her lips. "So what if you’re relieved?"You should be going over to help her right now!"For the past few days, I've heard the little nurses talking a lot about her affairs over the past two years, and about how many men were pursuing her. If you don't buck up, your daughter and son will soon be calling someone else's daddy!"The man lowered his eyes and continued to peel the apple gracefully. "They won’t.”Quincy and Freya looked at each other.In the next second, Elijah's apple and fruit knife were snatched away again. Quincy pulled Elijah up and pushed him out of the ward. "Stop wasting your time. I’ll take care of your sister. Go see Dr. Summers now!"After the man finished speaking, he shut the door of the ward with a bang.Elijah stood outside the door, looked at the closed door, and sighed lightly.‘Turns out love can really change a person.‘If Freya met Quincy five years ago...‘Thing wouldn’t be like
Besides people in that one family, she could not think of anyone else who would carry that surname."Correct."Sally flashed Assistant Director Landt a smile. "Have you heard of our family?""Of course… I’ve heard of it."Assistant Director Landt was smiling on the surface, but she was sneering inside.‘The Tate family?‘Give me a break!‘Legend has it that the Tate family is an aristocratic family in Europe!‘Why would the lady of a noble family come to a small place like Gunter City to be a little doctor?‘Don't think I’m that stupid!’The house Sally was living in was still the small apartment that the director helped her apply for when she first came to work at the hospital!‘Yet, she dares to say that Tate was her surname?‘She really isn’t afraid of getting called out!’Even though she had mockingly laughed at Sally many times before, Assistant Director Landt still had to hold herself back. She smiled faintly and sighed. "Turns out that you came from such a big famil
————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
