“If you want to be sad, be sad.“If you want to cry, cry.“In this world, I’m the only one who won’t abandon you, make fun of you, or leave you no place to vent.”Sally pressed her lips together. She subconsciously wanted to disentangle herself from his embrace, but he only held her tighter.Helplessly, she laid bored in his arms. “I’m actually not particularly sad. I…”Before the woman finished speaking, she heard someone knocking on the door.“Sir, your wine is here.”Elijah wrinkled his brows lightly and said, “Come on in.”After he said this, the waiter came in with a few women, holding various brands of red wine.All kinds of red wines and spirits filled the coffee table.Only after the waiters left did Elijah release Sally. “What do you want to drink?”Sally was startled. Only then did she understand that Elijah wanted her to drown her sorrows in drink....That was fine too.She took a deep breath. “I can drink.“However, Elijah, this doesn’t mean my career as a doc
Sunlight streamed into the room through the window, shining brightly and warming up Sally’s face.Under the bright sunlight, her face, reddened from drink, looked particularly fetching.Elijah saved the recording on his phone, satisfied, and smiled at her. “You said I’m a good person. Are you friend-zoning me?”Sally was startled and hastily shook her head. “No…“I really think you’re very good…“If I didn’t have you…”The woman stared blearily at Elijah, the smile on her face dopey. “If I didn’t have you, I really don’t know how today would have gone…“And…”She picked up the wine bottle and poured herself a glass, downing it in one go. “Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to think so deeply. I wouldn’t have thought that Assistant Director Landt could do such a thing …”After saying this, her bleary gaze stayed locked on him. She reached out a hand and touched his cold, chiseled face. “Elijah, are you an angel?“Why is it that… when you appear, you can help me solve many,
“I saw you on TV this morning.”On the phone, Zane Larson’s voice sounded the same as it was five years ago, carrying some playfulness and brightness. “How’s Sally?”“I got her a few drinks. Asleep now.”Zane let out a bitter chuckle. “That’s good too.”“What exactly happened three years ago?”Elijah exhaled deeply and asked softly.Although he and Sally had had no contact these past few years, he knew that, because of Nicole Larson, Zane and Sally’s relationship had always been very good.Even if others did not know what happened three years ago, Zane definitely knew.“Sally won’t let me say.”The man on the other end of the phone smiled casually. “From my personal point of view, I do quite want to tell you.“However, Sally said that if I reveal this, she’d cut contact with me.“I like her so much, so naturally, I can’t bear this.”Elijah was speechless. “…”Zane was still the same as he was five years ago, always mentioning irrelevant matters.“Since she’s asleep, take
Sally pressed her lips together, rolling her eyes silently at Elijah.Still, she had to admit that he was being very thoughtful.If he had not prepared it for her in advance, the first thing she would have done after getting up was write this resignation letter.The woman released a deep breath. She picked up the pen on the table and signed her name.“What do you plan to do later?”After she signed, Elijah asked lightly.“I haven’t thought about it yet.”Sally pressed her lips together and sighed helplessly. “I have to resign first anyway, only then will I think about what I’m suited to do.”After saying this, as if afraid he would be worried, she continued smiling sunnily. “I remember, didn’t you once say I’m very suited to be a teacher?“I can research… mhm, how to be a teacher.“After all, studying is my strong point!”Elijah leaned on the headboard, putting his arms behind his head. “You can consider it.“But all this will have to wait until you go back to A City with m
The two kids had very rarely left her ever since they were little. If they were to suddenly go out with Elijah… They might really not be used to it.Since she was following him to help take care of the two kids, there was nothing much she could do but accept.“Okay then.”The man smiled and took out his phone, dialing a number. “Book the plane tickets.”Sally looked at him coldly, then turned to the bathroom to wash up.…“Sally, have you really decided?”In the director’s office, the director looked at Sally a little regretfully. “You’ve achieved such excellent results for the hospital in the past. I can ignore what others think and let you stay at the hospital.”Sally shook her head. “Forget it.“You’ve always been fair and unbiased. Our hospital already has a dirty assistant director. It’s better if you don’t get mixed up in this.”The office instantly quieted.The director looked at Sally, his eyes full of pity and regret. “I think that once you leave, Dr. Turner will le
Sally smiled faintly at Chandler. "It's just like when you were willing to bear all the accusation for me and you didn't want to mention all the other things that happened for Assistant Director Landt’s sake.""I too have very, very important people that I want to protect."The morning sun shone on her face as if plating her smile gold. She looked at Chandler with a grin. "I know you'll keep it a secret for me."Chandler pursed his lips. The truth was, he did not want to keep it a secret for Sally.He wanted to run and tell everyone straight to their face that Dr. Summers was not who they said!She had really been injured, and she really could not do the surgery…Even so, when he saw Sally's sincere face in front of him, Chandler sighed hard. "Fine.”Even if he knew the truth, he would not go against Dr. Summers's wishes because this was her own business.Even though he looked up to her a lot and thought that her situation was pitiful, he could not disclose her privacy when she
"I should go back to A City earlier to accompany my dad."Chandler, "..."Despair.jpg——————After resigning from the hospital, Sally received a call from Bennett."Sal."Bennett’s voice from the other end of the phone sounded a little sad. "I saw what happened in the press conference.""Are you... experiencing any difficulties?"Sally pursed her lips and looked up at the sun in the sky.The sun that day was a bit dazzling.She raised her hand to cover her eyes and while walking toward the parking lot as she replied faintly, "Dad, don't worry about me."When Mom passed away five years ago, you were with me. You saw how much pressure I was under."I'm sorry I didn't inherit you and mom's grit. That’s why I want to leave this line of work for the time being."Regarding what will happen next… I'll talk about it when the time comes."Bennett sighed heavily on the other end of the line. "I just scolded Queenie."I knew that she was working as a journalist, but I thought that
After she got home from the hospital, Sally started packing.Although Elijah said that he would bring the children over a day later, based on his current naughty personality, Sally still felt that it was better to bring extra sets of clothes.After she finished packing her two children’s and her clothes into the luggage bag, it was already past two in the afternoon.She took a deep breath and was just about to lie down to rest for a while when she heard rapid knocking on the door.Sally frowned, thinking it was Elijah. Thus, she up and opened the door impatiently.After all, only a few close people knew her address. Zane rarely came over, and every time Evonne wanted to hang out, she would just call her and tell her where they would meet for shopping or dinner. Because of this, she thought that only Elijah would knock on her door without telling her in advance."Hi."When she opened the door, she was met with Queenie, dressed in red, and a tall man.When she saw them standing o
————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
