The atmosphere in the villa grew tense.

Elijah scanned the bottles of medicine that were arranged on the table. His eyes were several degrees colder. “So, Mrs. Moses did that for me. It is I who have misjudged Mrs. Moses.”

Sally was not an idiot. She understood the insult as clear as day from Elijah’s words and his eyes.

The man simply gave the butler standing next to him a gesture.

The butler jogged over hurriedly and removed all of the bottles.

Sally felt somewhat guilty. “You asked the butler to take all of them… It is because you don’t want to eat them?”

She thought he was unhappy.

The corner of Elijah’s lips curved upward in a smile that did not look like a smile. He said, “Eat first.”

His voice was low and piercingly low. Sally felt like the air surrounding them became cold.

It looked like he was truly angry.

Sally held her right hand in her left hand anxiously.

Considering how it was just the second day after they got married, was it inappropriate for her to get him medicine?

Did he think that Sally resented him because she got him medicine right after they got married?

Evonne’s words echoed inside Sally’s ears, that disabled people were especially sensitive.

Sally could not help but blame Evonne. That brat, if she knew that disabled people were fragile, why did she let Sally bring him medicine at this time!

Of course, Sally was at fault too. She should not have overlooked this.

“Eat.”

The man’s low voice spat out one word.

Sally picked up a pair of chopsticks instantly and started to eat obediently.

Sally was extremely stressed out and anxious throughout the entire meal.

After the meal, the butler approached her. “Madam, Mr. Moses’ grandfather just called. He invited Mr. Moses and you to go over for dinner tonight. The driver will pick you up after school. Please refrain from arranging other activities after school.”

“Got it!”

Sally smiled politely. “I have no plans at night anyway!”

Sally’s eyes curved into two crescent moons whenever she smiled. They were sincere and adorable. They made her look like a person who was unlikely to scheme.

After saying that, she picked up her bag and gave Elijah a big wave. “I’m leaving!”

The butler waited for the young girl’s figure to disappear from everyone’s line of sight before approaching Elijah from the back. “The medicine has been sent for inspection. The results will be out soon.”

He could not help to add, “Somehow, I don’t think Madam is a scheming person.”

Elijah stared indifferently in the general direction where Sally took off. “Investigate the doctor who invited her for lunch.”

The butler pressed his lips together and reminded Elijah. “The driver said Madam’s friend was the one who passed the medicine to her. I think Madam’s friend is more suspicious…”

His sentence was interrupted by a suffocating coldness that emanated from Elijah.

With an ambiguous smile playing around his lips, Elijah responded, “I want to investigate the person who asked my wife out for lunch. Is there a problem?”

“None… None, sir!”

As Sally walked out of her school after class, she saw the driver waiting for her at the main gate.

A Rolls-Royce was parked somewhere not so distant from the school gate.

Sally heard her heart skip a beat.

She dashed toward the driver and said, “Let’s go!”

If any of her classmates saw her going into a luxurious car, all sorts of rumors would fly around the school!

Yet, the more worried she was about the matter, the more likely it was to happen.

The moment when Sally got into the car, she clearly saw one of her classmates, Joan Lewis’ shocked face.

She was done for…

Sally fell into utter despair.

Joan Lewis could be compared to a megaphone speaker in school. The whole school would know what she knew in less than a day.

“Sit tight.”

As Sally nearly slammed her head thinking about ways to salvage the situation, a man’s throaty voice came from her back.

She froze and turned around.

The man with a black ribbon around his eyes sat in the backseat of the car with a face as cold as a glacier.

She was shocked. “Why are you here?”

The plan was for the driver to pick her up so that they could join Grandpa Moses for dinner, right?

“Was passing by.”

The man leaned against the leather seat as he casually spat out the three words.

It felt like he was not keen on talking to her.

She guessed that he had not gotten over the anger he felt in the afternoon…

Sally looked out the window dejectedly.

After the car departed for a while, she noticed something was wrong.

The car… was not heading in the direction of Grandpa Moses’ house. Were they… heading home?

She furrowed her brows. “Aren’t we heading to Grandpa’s place?”

There was disdain in the voice belonging to the man at Sally’s side. “You plan to wear this?”

At that moment, Sally realized that she wore her jeans that faded from overwashing and a white T-shirt with ‘We fairies have no conscience’ in black print.

Uh…

It did not seem like she was dressed appropriately for the occasion.

Yet… “How do you know what I’m wearing?”

He was blind, was he not?

The man responded with a cold tsk. “I have no comments on your taste.”

Sally was rendered speechless. “...”

No matter how patient she was, Sally would be unhappy if he insulted her one after the other!

Hence, Sally rolled her eyes at him.

When it occurred to her that he would not be able to see it, she rolled her eyes a few more times.

After that emotional outlet, Sally pursed her lips and continued looking out the window. “If you want me to get changed, you could’ve waited for me at home, right? Why tag along?”

Going out should be a rather inconvenient task for a person who was blind, should it not?

Elijah let out a cold laugh and called out to the driver indifferently, “Ol’ Joe.”

Soon, the partition in the middle of the car descended. The interior of the car was now divided into two closed spaces.

In an elegant motion, Elijah handed Sally a document. “Read it.”

Sally did not understand the purpose, but she opened it up anyway.

It was a lab inspection report.

The items of inspection were a few bottles of unlabeled drugs.

Unlabelled drugs?

The same ones that Evonne gave Sally at noon?

She was dumbstruck. He went so far as to send the medicine she gave him for lab inspection?

After a short ponder, she reasoned that it was not wrong of him to do so.

He had a weak constitution, after all. He probably could not take any form of drugs as he wished.

It would be problematic if he had an allergy.

Only the rich would be so thorough!

As her thoughts ran wild, her gaze skipped to the result of the inspection.

“Eh...”

The words printed on the inspection result baffled Sally greatly.

‘Test results indicate the drug is meant to treat diseases related to the male reproductive system, targeting erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.’

“...” Sally was speechless.

What was happening?

With a shudder of her hand, the document fell directly onto the carpet with a flap.

The man’s husky voice was tinged with a sense of danger. “So, Mrs. Moses takes me as a man who’s incapable in that aspect?”

“I don’t… I’m not… I…”

Sally was so flustered that she could not utter a complete sentence.

When Evonne passed her the medicine, she told Sally those were meant for his eyes!

Considering how close she was to Evonne, it never occurred to her that Evonne would troll her!

If she knew what the medicine was for, she would not have given them to Elijah even if her life depended on it!

The man with a black ribbon over his eyes extended his long arm, lifted her, and placed her on his thighs.

The man emanated a dangerous but sexy aura.

Mush to her dismay, Sally blushed. “I…”

“It seems like Mrs. Moses is rather dissatisfied with what happened on our wedding night yesterday.”

His gigantic hand clasped onto Sally’s jaw. His thin lips slowly parting to form words. “On her second day after marriage, Mrs. Moses went to the hospital personally to prepare these for me. How thoughtful of you.”

The black silk ribbon tied around his eyes only made him seem sexier and alluring.

With her jaw locked in his grasp, her eyes darted away involuntarily to avoid eye contact. “I… I don’t know that the medicine is meant for this!”

“I thought they were meant for…”

“Umph…”

    Before Sally could come up with an explanation, Elijah’s extremely thin lips pressed onto hers.He locked onto her arms and had her imprisoned in his iron embrace as he willfully kissed her.Sally was dizzy from his cold breath that invaded her space.She almost thought that her soul was about to get sucked away by his kiss.He released her and smiled wickedly. “Mrs. Moses, was that to your satisfaction?”Sally’s heart twisted into a bundled mess.She struggled to break free of his grip, only to get imprisoned by him once more.The distance between them was too close and too dangerous.Sally continued her struggle in Elijah’s unending grip.Eventually, Sally ran out of energy.She pouted. “How are you so strong…?”Before marriage, Grandpa Moses had reminded her time and again that Elijah had a weak body and was prone to illness.

    Wendell’s gaze made Sally feel uncomfortable in all sorts of manners.She inhaled deeply and forced out a polite smile at Wendell as she pushed Elijah in his wheelchair. She was thinking of making her way around Wendell to get through the entrance.As she neared Wendell’s side, Wendell extended an arm to stop her.“Sister-in-law, why the rush? Are you scared of talking to your brother-in-law?” He crossed his arms around his chest again. Although Wendell’s eyes were full of nothing but disgust and disdain, his voice sounded friendly and caring. “Elijah, your wife seems to be avoiding me here and there. I think there’s an eighty percent chance that she married you for another purpose.”As Wendell said that, his shrewd eyes seemed to be peering at Sally.Sally frowned and turned her body away subconsciously.That was when his eyes got more wilful. There was even a ruthless smile in the upturned corners of his lips. “Elijah, Grandfather is old. He might not be able to see through a

    Lucille froze.When Aunt Zelda got dismissed from the house, Lucille merely understood that Elijah did it for Sally. She did not know the reason behind that.The truth was that Aunt Zelda had insulted Sally?!She pursed her lips. If she knew that this was the reason, she would not have brought this up!Daniel lightened the atmosphere with a small laugh. “Elijah is a man.”“Sally is a daughter-in-law to the Moses family, nonetheless. She mustn’t be made fun of by the servants!”Lucille lost the argument. She huffed coldly and retreated into silence.Grandfather Moses shifted the topic smoothly into catching up with Sally.It was then that Daniel’s phone rang. Glancing at the number on the phone, his face turned pale drastically. “Excuse me, let me take this call. Please continue chatting.”Elijah’s voice was indifferent with a hint of coldness. “Later, Uncle Daniel.”Not long after Daniel left, Wendell walked through the door in an uncouth manner.After looking around the liv

    Under the pale moonlight, the man's smile was gentle yet alluring. Sally pressed her lips. Her cheeks were hot. "Examine your…" "After we get home." She panted heavily. "Actually, I was only pretending to be tough earlier… "He's so strong. I definitely won't be able to beat him. I can't stop him from bullying you either." She lowered her head, and her gaze fell on her bare feet. "But… I can run away with you. "I think I can run pretty fast." He tried hard not to smile when looking at her serious face. "Are you planning to run away with me every time?" "Mm." She nodded. After that, she seemed to have thought of something and shook his head. "I won't always be running away though. When I become stronger, I can protect you." Elijah looked at her face under the moonlight. He smiled. "Alright, I'll wait for you to be stronger." "Mm!" She tightly clenched her fists. Her face was blushing red. She lifted her hands and patted her face, then she looked at the pitch-black

    The black Maserati traversed the city streets and finally stopped in front of the self-study block in A City University. Sally got out of Ol' Joe's car. She ran toward the public study room without saying thank you to Ol' Joe. She left more than her notes and study material in the study room. There were also all sorts of awards and certificates that she won, and the cards that her grandmother sent her every birthday. Those birthday cards were crudely made and her grandmother's handwriting was ugly. Other people might think that they were waste paper. However, those were Sally's most treasured possessions! The self-study block was crowded that morning. The elevator lobby was packed. Just as she was waiting for the elevator, Evonne gave her another call. "Are you here yet, Sal? Those people are going crazy!" Sally could hear that Evonne was about to cry. Her chest tightened. Sally took a deep breath. There was no use waiting for the elevator. She turned and ran toward

    "That's correct, theoretically." Wendell tried hard to hold back his urge to mock Sally. "If you obediently take off my shirt and give me a kiss, maybe I'll lose interest in you." A hint of cunning flashed in Sally's eyes. However, she nodded earnestly. "Alright, I'll listen to everything you say." Wendell could not hold it back anymore. While laughing, he waved at the two men in black who were holding her down. "Let her go!" He wanted to see how silly this country girl was! The men in black did as they were told. "You're not going to pull any tricks, right?" Wendell said with a smile as Sally walked close to him. "There are three of you. What can I possibly do?" Sally smiled earnestly and walked up next to him. "This is what you said. I'll take off your shirt and give you a kiss. "Keep your hands away from me." Sally tried to hold back her disgust. She pushed away his hands that were gripping her body, and slowly undid the buttons on his shirt. One button, tw

    Evonne did not finish that sentence. She could sense that Elijah behind them was emanating an ominous aura. Evonne bit her lip, softly said goodbye to Sally, and left the scene. Elijah did not say anything on the journey back from the university to the mansion. Sally tried to say something several times but did not know what to say. She kept quiet. Once they were back at the mansion, Sally went to her desk and tried to combine the tattered pieces of her certificates. That was not a difficult task to perform. However, the album that contained the photographs and birthday cards from her grandmother had been thrown in the fiery brazier. It would be impossible to restore everything. Sally sat at her desk. Her heart ached as she looked at the half-charred album. She cursed Wendell Moses to hell countless times. After she had cursed enough, she prepared to keep the album away when a card fell out. She bent down to pick it up and discovered that the card held something bet

    ————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.

    “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
