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
"The way I live my life is my business, and has nothing to do with the two of you."After speaking, she let out a cold laugh. "Or… can the two of you just can't wait for me to go back to Tate Manor to fight over the inheritance with you?”Queenie smiled. "Sally, listen to yourself."I mean, even if we didn't come over, were you really going to give up your right to the inheritance?"Who are you kidding? If you could really give up your rights to the inheritance, why did you hide what happened back at the press conference yesterday?"Sally smiled back at her. "If you know that I won't give it up, why bother doing all this nonsense?"Did you think that if you put my career and ideals on the line, that I’d simply cave and give up my rights to the inheritance?""Please, it’s nothing of the sort.”Queenie picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured herself a cup of tea slowly and leisurely. "I’m recognize that you are well aware of your priorities. And I also know that you w
"You win this time, Elijah!”As she said these words fiercely, Queenie took Christian's hand, turned away angrily, and strode out in her high heels.Watching her back disappear, Sally's heart was suddenly filled with a nice feeling.She turned her head and glanced at Elijah. She smiled at him. "Thank you.""No need to thank me.”The man walked in, closed the door behind him, and looked at her with a smile. "I remember that I told you that I don't like verbal thanks."Sally pursed her lips and did not know what came over her, but she instantly leaned forward, stood on her toes, and planted a kiss on his lips.The moment the woman's pink lips touched the man's soft lips, both of them were taken aback.Their hearts began to beat wildly, and their faces started to flush red.The woman realized then that she seemed to have done something that she should not have due to her excitement…She took a step back quickly, subconsciously trying to escape, but her wrist was fiercely grabbed
The man kissed her lips, “As long as you’re willing.”“What if I’m not?”“I’ll pursue you until you are.”——————In the evening, Elijah and Sally went to the kindergarten to pick up Sam and Sarah.“Goodness gracious, Ms. Summers. Is that your husband? He’s so handsome!”“Ms. Summers, you always said that you don’t have a husband. I’ve always assumed you were a single mom. Who would’ve thought… that your husband is so handsome?!”“Right? It’s no wonder Ms. Summers’ son, Sam, is so handsome. Look at them. He looks exactly the same as his father!”“That’s so true. Ms. Summers, you were too ridiculous. Your husband is so handsome and very much alive. Why’d you lie to us that your husband was dead….”............Elijah parked the car near the kindergarten entrance and stood by the door as he waited. Meanwhile, Sally went inside to pick up the kids. As soon as she entered, she was besieged by these heckling parents. The kids in the kindergarten were the same age as Sam and 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
