The symbol on the Amex Card was indeed the Moses family symbol. This “Moses” Amex Card was the highest you could go in terms of levels within business cards. It would not be an exaggeration to say only people like Elijah and Freya could use these cards. The woman waved the card and stared at Evonne. “Does this really belong to you?” Evonne shied away from Sally’s gaze and laughed awkwardly as she said, “This… was given to me by a friend.” “They said they were loaning me this so I could get myself some nice clothes.” Sally did not believe a single word she said. Her friend had called her clothes ugly and given her an Amex Card so she could buy new clothes? If such a thing had happened, Evonne would have already gone on a shopping spree. That was her personality. However, Evonne had done the same thing as her when they were shopping earlier. She had not bought a single thing and had only brought the card out when Sally did not have enough money for the lipsticks. Obvi
The office fell silent. Assistant Director Landt could not believe what she had just heard. Sally Summers had spent nearly two thousand dollars on lipstick? Was she crazy!? “We think it’s unbelievable too.” Lindy pursed her lips and said, “Assistant Director Landt, I’m sure you know that Dr. Summers has rarely put on makeup ever since she started at our hospital.” “But she… bought such an expensive tube of lipstick today.” “Everyone’s wondering if something happened to her.”“Either she’s going to have an affair, or… she’s actually a millionaire that we don’t know about.” Assistant Director Landt scoffed. The corners of her lips curled upwards into a cold smile. “You can leave now.” Lindy trembled as she left the room. Assistant Director Landt cackled as she lounged in her chair, the smile never leaving her lips. Seems like she had overestimated Sally Summers. All this while, she had thought that she was just like how everyone described her to be. Only intere
When Sally went to pick up Sam and Sarah from kindergarten that evening, she saw someone she had not met for a long time -- Zane Larson. At that moment, Zane was sitting on a bench in the kindergarten as he carefully removed the stems from strawberries and stuffed them into Little Sarah’s mouth. Sam sat on his other side, using a remote to control a toy helicopter that was whirling above his head. Zane stood and smiled warmly at Sally when he saw her. Sam yelled excitedly, “Mommy, come over!” “Look, Uncle Larson bought me this remote helicopter. It’s so cool!” Sally stared at the toy helicopter in the air. It seemed to be made from a high-quality alloy and was designed beautifully. You could tell it was not cheap. Sally frowned and strode over to look gratefully at Zane. “I told you there’s no need to buy him such expensive toys…” “Is it expensive?” Zane smirked. “I made sure to stay within budget when buying this toy helicopter. A thousand and eight hundred dolla
Sally and Zane talked for a long time at the park in front of the kindergarten. They talked for so long that Little Sarah had finished the entire bowl of strawberries and was running after Sam as they ran across the park and played with the toy helicopter. “Mommy, Little Sarah is hungry!” Little Sarah finally exhausted herself when it began turning dark and pouted as she ran toward Sally. Her large eyes glinted as she looked at her and said, “Mommy, Little Sarah would like to go home and have ravioli now!” “Let’s go.” Zane lowered his head to glance at the expensive wristwatch on his hand. “It’s late.” “The kids have school tomorrow.” “And we haven’t had dinner yet!”Little Sarah pouted as she added on. Sally rolled her eyes. “I wonder who had so many of Uncle Larson’s strawberries just now. You’re hungry again so soon?”Little Sarah pouted. “Fruits don’t count as a meal. You can’t get full by eating that!” “You can eat so much!” Sam added ruthlessly, “Why could I
“Mr. Handsome, why do you seem unhappy?” Little Sarah’s childish voice rang out in the elevator after a period of silence. “Uncle, are you distressed like my mom because too many people are trying to date you?” Sally, “...” Elijah raised an eyebrow and glanced teasingly at Sally before he bent down to gaze gently at Little Sarah. “Yes.” “A naughty woman gave my phone number to the women who are trying to date me. I’m very distressed now.” Little Sarah blinked slowly and stared at Elijah for a long time before she said, “Oh, I know!” “You’re as distressed as my mom was when she received phone calls asking her out on dates, aren’t you!?” Elijah smiled. “Yes.” “That woman is so wicked!” Little Sarah’s hands curled into fists. “Uncle, don’t be in a bad mood. Shall Little Sarah treat you to ravioli?” “Sure, I love ravioli.” “That’s a deal then!” The little girl gazed pleadingly at Sally. “Mommy…” Sally clapped a hand to her forehead. What else could she do when her
Sam sighed sadly as he said, “When raising us, she played the role of both our mom and dad. She was exhausted when we first arrived at Gunter City, having to juggle between taking care of my sister and me and working at the hospital.” “I often see her hugging a picture to her chest when she cries in the middle of the night.” “That photo…” The little guy pursed his lips. “My mom had on a pink onesie in that photo. You were standing beside her. She had a beautiful smile on her face.” “But I’ve never seen my mom smile like that.” Startled, Elijah did not speak. He knew what photo Sam was talking about. They had taken it the first time he had brought her back to the Tate household. She had been dancing for Old Master Tate. Although five years had passed since then… He still remembered those times. It was the happiest, most carefree time he had spent with Sally. After that… They had never been that happy after that. The Tate, Larson, and Moses family. These distu
“Sam, Mr. Handsome! Come over and help!” Sam and Elijah had wanted to continue the conversation when a childish voice rang out by the door. The little girl dressed in a pink onesie, who was so short she could not even reach the handle, hammered on the door as she said, “Mommy is so busy!” “You two men should come over and help!” “You’re no man if you don’t help!” Sam and Elijah, who was on the other side of the door, “...” Thus, the door opened. Both the larger and smaller version of the males exited through the door. “Sometimes, I really think that Mr. Handsome is Sam’s dad…” Little Sarah muttered to herself as she watched the two males enter her house the same way. However, Mommy had said that she and Sam had the same dad.If so… The little girl shook her head. What a shame! If Mr. Handsome were Sam’s dad, she could see him every day and eat his strawberries! “Mommy.” Sam hurriedly changed clothes and walked toward the dining table once home. Sally was ro
When Sally returned with clothes, Sam had an impatient expression on his face as he taught Elijah how to roll out the dough. “Like this. Like this.” The little guy kneaded the dough as he taught Elijah how to do it step-by-step. It looked just like how Sally had taught Sam to do it. Sally’s heart warmed as she stood by the door and watched. Her little man had only learned how to do it six months ago. He had wanted to learn it for a simple reason. His little sister loved ravioli, but Sally was always exhausted after making it. Thus, the compassionate little guy bugged her until she agreed to teach him how to make it. Who would have thought that he could teach his father how to do it after such a short time! “Aw man, how can you be so dumb!” The little guy’s impatient voice rang out whilst Sally was still staring into space. She turned instinctively toward them. Elijah was sweating buckets as he used his large hands to maneuver the rolling pin clumsily. Little Sar
————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
