According to Elijah, the reason was that if she were to stay in a hotel with the children. He would be sending over some bodyguards to stand by the hotel’s door and conduct security checks on other people entering the hotel. Otherwise, he was afraid that someone would come to harm the children.After all, Elijah’s position in A City was destined to make him countless enemies.Sally found it somewhat troublesome, so she agreed to let him take the children back to the Moses house.However, now it seemed like…Little Sarah’s eyes widened as she asked, “Mommy, didn’t you say we’re going to be staying in Mr. Handsome’s house?”Sally smiled faintly and picked up the little fellow, “Mr. Handsome’s girlfriend wouldn’t be too happy about it.”Afterward, she shot a smile toward Sam.Sam could understand her intuitively and jump off the chair. He picked up Sally’s bag, “Let’s go, Mommy!”Elijah frowned and lifted his arm to block Sally, “Sally, Wren is not my girlfriend. She’s just….”“A
Sally frowned and tried pushing herself out of his arms, “What home?”She had not had a home in A City for a long time.However, her strength could not compete with Elijah’s.The man hugged her tightly in his arms and softly coaxed, “Sally, you haven’t been back for five years. Aunt Leigh and the others miss you so much. Don’t you want to go back and visit them?”“And the trees you’ve planted in the yard, and….”His eyes fell on the two little fellows beside him, “The kids have never seen where you and I used to live.”Sally’s struggle was in vain as she was being held tightly by him. She could only lift her resentful gaze and glare at him, “I told you, I want you to solve your savior’s matter before you come back to me!”“There’s nothing to solve.”The man’s eyes looked at Sally fixedly, “Our relationship was platonic. So why should I let her to influence the relationship you and I have?”Sally was stunned, and her expression turned somewhat dazzled because of his decisive at
“However, I hope you can quickly resolve it and make things clear with her.”“I don’t wish to witness the scene of Ms. Blue’s sister barging into a private room and terrifying the children like today for the second time.”Elijah pursed his lips and nodded heavily, “I promise.”After getting the man’s affirmation, Sally let out a sigh of relief. She tilted her head and placed all of her weight on his shoulder, “I’m so tired.”She indeed was exhausted.Not only was she travel-worn, but she was also mentally stressed out.Every single day she and Elijah were together was a kind of torture and suffering.The Tate family was now temporarily taken care of by Zoey. But once the shareholders found out that the relationship between her and Elijah was going swell now. How would they react to it?However, she could not avoid it, and she could not bring herself to reject Elijah.She came here under tremendous pressure. And she kept telling herself that she merely came here to bring the ki
Nothing much had changed in the Moses house. Ol’ Joe stopped the car at the Moses house’s entrance, and Elijah proceeded to carry Sally out of the vehicle.Sam was sitting on the seat with his sister, who had fallen asleep around his arms. He was anxious over his sister, who was currently drooling on his shoulders.He wanted to not disturb her sister from her sleep, just like Elijah, and carried her out of the car as well.But he was only five years old!His sister was five as well!Even if she were a little shorter than him, he would not be able to carry her!The little guy thought that once Elijah was done carrying Sally into the room, he would come back for him and his sister!However, as he waited for the man to come back down, Sam ultimately realized—— He and his sister were treated differently from Mommy!That darn man!Did they not say that the man would usually treat their wives horribly after having a child!!Why was it the opposite for this family!?Why did the c
After doing all of this, he sat there steadily, looking at her, watching her sleep.There was no movement or traces of impatience.It was akin to a child looking at his favorite toy.Sam looked at Elijah's back, and his heart slowly felt more at ease.Perhaps, only when you truly liked someone would you watch them so motionlessly in this manner. Right?If he were to watch Little Sarah like this for a while, he would become rather impatient.The woman on the bed was sleeping so soundly. Sam could hear his mother's breathing across the door.The little guy proceeded to shake his head.To outsiders, his mother, Dr. Summers, might be someone who was indifferent, serious, and somewhat distant.However, in front of her family, she was able to transform into someone clumsy and sloven.This was her cuteness and her shortcoming. She would only expose these shortcomings in front of her closest friends and family.Now that she was able to fall asleep like this in front of Elijah with
“Sis!”Jules pushed open the door of the ward angrily and sat down beside Wren’s bed, “Sis! I said from the very beginning that Elijah was unreliable and asked you to grab him before it’s too late, but you refused!”“What should we do now! He not only returned with his ex-wife, but he also brought his two children back!”She raised her hand angrily and made a gesture, indicating their heights, “Both of them are this big now!”“Even if you marry him in the future, you’ll have to be a stepmother!”“You should’ve married him three years ago and then give birth to two children for him. If that had happened, no one would have to be anyone’s stepmother!”“Everything’s too late now!”As she spoke, she remembered Elijah’s cold attitude in the private room before, and she got even more anxious, “Since, since his ex-wife is back, he’ll no longer be as kind to us in the future. He won’t pay for your hospital bills, let alone sponsor me to go to school.”“Whenever I think about it, I fee
The doctor on the other end of the phone was ecstatic, “You finally got in touch with us!”“We’re from A City Medical Research Institute. We were delighted when Director Collins recommended you to us. We weren’t expecting you to get in contact with us!”Sally was stunned, “Did you say… A City Medical Research Institute?”“Correct!”The voice of the doctor on the other end of the phone was very kind, “Dr. Summers, do you have time to come over for an interview?”“If you’re currently out of town, we’ll be able to wait for a short while….”“No need.”Sally took a deep breath, unable to hide the excitement in her voice, “I can get there this afternoon.”At two o’clock in the afternoon, Sally showed up downstairs in the institute on time.The institute director warmly received her, “Dr. Summers, regarding your medical achievements and work experiences, I’ve heard it all from Director Collins….”“I asked you to come here today to let you personally inspect and understand our resear
Sally halted her footstep.Sally already had an impression of this girl named Jules.Even if she were to forget about the scene where she astonishingly broke into the private room where she and the children were eating yesterday, even a short glimpse of this girl at the airport was able to leave her the impression of her arrogance and domineering temperament.She raised her clear eyes dimly and looked at Jules, who was sitting in the red Porsche. “Who’s your sister?”Jules sneered at her, “Don’t you know her?”Sally nodded lightly, “I do not.”“Ah.”Jules smiled, “My sister is your ex-husband Elijah’s savior!”“If my sister hadn’t sacrificed herself to save him, you wouldn’t be able to see Elijah right now. And have a chance to continue your relationship with Elijah.”Sally hummed faintly, “I see.”“Alright. Tell your sister I don’t want to see her.”After speaking, the woman gracefully picked up her handbag and turned to leave.Jules’ eyes started to widen.She immediatel
————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
