His classmates even teased him, "Your junior seems to like you a lot. Won't you confess your feelings to her?"He smiled lightly. "There are many juniors that like me."...Now, she still looked at him with respect, but she gave that hint of starlight in her eyes to another man.The car soon arrived at the nursing home.Javier left after sending Sally to her workplace."Tsk tsk tsk. You even have a handsome guy to escort you?"Mindy sneered as she threw a pile of sheets that needed washing in front of Sally. "You didn't come yesterday so I saved these for you."Sally looked at the mountain of sheets and quilt covers in front of her and was in a dilemma. "Hasn't the washing machine been fixed yet?"The other day she washed the sheets here all afternoon and went home with sore wrists!Besides, the sheets were made of some canvas-like fabric. They were very tough, so washing them by hand did not get them as clean as it would with a washing machine."Sorry, the washing machine i
The air in the laundry room seemed to be a little colder because of the biting cold aura emitting from the man's body.Javier had never seen such a man before,The black silk on his eyes made him look mysterious and indifferent. His face was cold and serious, and he sat in the wheelchair with a nonchalant grace. He was a disabled man, but the pressure emitting from his body was suffocating.'Who is this man?'Why are they here?'Sally, who Javier held in his arms, broke free when he was distracted.Sensing something was wrong, Sally frowned and subconsciously looked up in the direction of the laundry room's door..."Hubby!"When she saw the man in the wheelchair, Sally's discomfort at being held by Javier disappeared instantly.She pulled the unwashed sheet that was beside her and wiped the foam off her feet. Then she trotted over barefoot to Elijah. "What are you doing here?"The way she blinked her big eyes and called him Hubby was so adorable Elijah smiled lightly and pull
He admitted that he was mocking him when he said he did not expected him to be so young, but he did not expect the man to utter something worse!Sally did not sense the hostility between the two men and shook her head solemnly. "Hubby, you guessed wrong. Javier just graduated last year. He should only be a little older than you."Javier clenched his fists that were at his side. "I'm twenty-five years old, one year younger than you, Mr. Moses."Sally was stunned and scratched her head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Javier.""I always thought you were wise and mature, so I was quick to guess your age."Elijah said lightly, "Maybe you just look older than your age."Sally was rendered speechless.She finally changed the topic to hopefully calm Javier down a bit. However, when she heard Elijah's words, she could sense Javier's anger rising again.Both his hands were balled into fists.From school to work, Javier had always been a talented young man in the eyes of others. People pra
Sally had no idea of the tension between the two men.She even looked up at Javier. "Javier, my husband is amazing. He'll have an idea of what you look like if you let him touch you."Javier was rendered speechless.'Who the f*ck would let this man touch them?'Sitting in his wheelchair, Elijah chuckled ungraciously. "It seems that your senior doesn’t want me to know what he looks like.""Maybe he looks bad?"There was unconcealable sarcasm in the man's voice.Sally frowned. "Hubby, you're wrong. Javier is actually quite handsome."Elijah smiled slightly and pouted his lips defiantly in Javier's direction. "How would I know if I haven't touched it yet?"Sally was stunned.'Does this mean Elijah really wants to know what Javier looks like?''Isn't it a little gay for a man to touch another man's face?'Javier used to be her dream guy after all. She felt uncomfortable when someone said he's ugly.While Sally hesitated, Javier chuckled and said, "Sally, go upstairs and get Mi
'Isn't he blind?'As he stepped toward Elijah, the man in the wheelchair unwittingly sat there with a solemn face and a faint smile on his lips. "It looks like you did make advances at someone else's wife.""As a student of A City Medical College and the youngest orthopedic surgeon in A City Central Hospital, you don't seem to feel any shame for doing such a sordid thing, Mr. Yates?"Javier raised his brows. "Compared to Mr. Moses' behavior of marrying a simple country girl using his wealth, I don't think there is anything wrong with what I have done."He stood in front of Elijah and raised his hand to uncover the black silk ribbon over his eyes while Elijah was not aware…Elijah was still sitting in his wheelchair with a blank expression, but his slender and big hand grabbed Javier's wrist precisely.As the severe pain sank in, Javier began to tremble gently.His face was pale, and his voice stuttered with pain. "Let... Let go!"There was still a faint smile on Elijah's lips.
Mindy had been in love with Javier for a long time.She deliberately gave Sally a hard time because she was jealous that Javier drove Sally to work and back.Now, the man in the wheelchair obviously bullied Javier. Besides being angry, Mindy also thought it was a good opportunity for her to express herself.A triumphant smile appeared on the corners of the woman's lips.She strode up to Elijah, only to be stopped by Sally.The little lady, who was a size smaller than her, clenched both hands into fists and looked at her with puffed cheeks. "Mindy, there must be some other reason why Javier fell. My husband is a nice man. How could he bully Javier, and for what reason?"Mindy raised her eyebrows coldly.If she remembered correctly, the girl with a high ponytail in front of her had been bossed around like a slave and did everything without complaint.'No matter how hard the task was, she did it obediently.Now, for a blind man, she had the nerve to stand up and confront her?Sh
One was the director of the nursing home.One was Mindy's immediate superior, the manager of the nursing home.Mindy was stunned for a moment, then immediately shed tears of gratitude.Was it because he knew she had been wronged that her manager brought the director with him to do her justice?She got up from the ground excitedly. It seemed that giving her manager presents during the holidays proved worth it!At the door, the manager gave Mindy a solemn look and strode toward her.Mindy could not hide her excitement. "Boss..."Smack!Before Mindy could finish, the manager slapped Mindy in the face and the corridor echoed with the sound of the loud slapping.The slap completely knocked Mindy off her feet.She was shocked. "Boss..."The director of the nursing home moved fearfully to Elijah's side. "Young Master Elijah, if someone in the nursing home has offended you, please be the bigger person and take the high road..."Javier, who stood from a distance, frowned deeply.Th
Mindy was so shocked she almost collapsed to the ground.Sally had only pushed Elijah a few steps forward before Lionel stopped her."Young Master Elijah, well... You can't take your anger out on the entire nursing home just because my employee didn't know how to behave properly."Sally frowned and glanced at Lionel. "Are you the director here?"Lionel was thrilled that Sally struck up a conversation with him. "Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm the director here!"Sally pursed her lips. "Well, the washing machine here has been broken for days and has yet to be fixed."She suggested in all seriousness, "Since you're the director, please get someone to repair it quickly. The nursing home's sheets are very hard. Washing them by hand is not only very laborious but also not very clean."With that, she glanced back at the mountain of sheets and quilt covers in the corner. "Hand-washed sheets are certainly not as sterile as machine..."Since this was a nursing home, maintaining hygiene and disinfect
————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
