Jane was caught between a rock and a hard place, so she could only put on an apron and stay busy in the kitchen, trying to hide her presence as much as possible.Sally smiled mildly, crossing one leg over the other as she sat on the couch like she was the lady of the house. She turned to glance at Shawn. “Uncle, bring the two children upstairs.”Shawn made a grunt of agreement, then hastily brought Sam and Sarah away.Not long after, only Sally and Wren and Jules Blue were left in the living room.“Jules, what are you saying?”Wren pressed her lips together. She glanced at Sally helplessly. “Ms. Summers, sorry about this. I’ve spoiled this little sister of mine since she was little, so she has no filter. Please don’t get offended.”“What if I am offended?”Sally smiled coldly as she looked at Wren. “If you don’t manage your own little sister well, you’ll have plenty of people who’ll manage her for you in the future.“I can fill that role for you too.”Wren’s face blanched abru
Blair did not know how to spell the word ‘gentle’.With one slap, Jules’s face swelled up with a distinct handprint.“Sis—!”Jules pounced into Wren’s arms, crying dreadfully.Sally sat on the couch, looking at Blair a little helplessly. “A little heavy-handed.”She had wanted Blair to slap her a few times to leave a larger imprint on her memory.However, what had happened?This kid who did not know the meaning of the word ‘gentle’ had given her a slap that was as bad as five slaps from a regular people.How could he continue?If he continued hitting her, he’d beat the life out of her!Blair glanced at Sally innocently. “You didn’t say I had to be gentle.”Sally was speechless. “…“You always have to be gentler when you hit girls. This is common sense.“Does Elijah not teach you these kinds of things?”Blair shook his head and answered Sally earnestly, “Big Bro doesn’t ever teach me these things.“All his time is spent thinking of you.”Sally was speechless. “…”She no
Sally swept her gaze lightly over her experienced hands that were peeling potatoes. “It seems like you’ve been through some hard times, Ms. Blue.”Jules rolled her eyes. “Of course I’ve been through hard times.“Wren and my parents passed away in a car accident five or six years ago. They didn’t leave us anything. After they died, we lived in the slums.”After saying this, she pursed her lips, her movements deft as she placed the peeled potatoes in the kitchen. “You can’t understand how bad the days were for us back then.”Sally nodded mildly. “I can imagine.“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have such a vulgar mouth.“You were in the slums three years ago living a paupers life, yet three years later, you can mock my aunt and uncle for being country bumpkins.”After saying this, she sighed lightly. “It seems Elijah is indeed willing to spend money on you two.“Sisters who came from the slums who now don’t have to worry about food or clothes; Ms. Wren can even drive a Porsche. Elijah is
However, at the bottom of her heart, he was always going to be her lover—that had never changed.That metallic scrapbook had been kept sealed in the bottom layer of her study. Whenever she could not sleep, she would take it out and flip through it.Thinking about this, she and Elijah still shared many similarities.Elijah liked to go to the Summers Family Village, where she lived before, to flip through her albums and her diary, afraid he would forget how she looked.Whereas she liked to flip through the memories in that scrapbook, afraid that she would forget the happiness she had shared with this man.“Hmph. Struck dumb, are you?”Seeing Sally daydreaming, Jules thought Sally was shocked by the sacrifice Wren had made for Elijah, so she became gleeful. “When that thing happened to Elijah back then, he was in a hotel. My sister was an attendant at the hotel at the time. She had no idea of Elijah’s identity—and it was purely because of her kind nature that she dashed into the bla
Jules, who had been gleeful and wanted to continue bragging, instantly turned into a little beast whose fur had been fried. “Sally Summers!”She put down the things in her hands and lunged at Sally. “You dare say such things about me and my sister?!“Even Elijah wouldn’t dare to say that!”Sally calmly dodged Jules’s charge, her lips carrying a cold and mocking smile. “An emotional man like Elijah definitely wouldn’t be able to tell the truth and use such cold words to discuss his ‘savior’, but I can.”She swiftly avoided Jules, who was like a bull that only knew how to maniacally charge at her to beat her up. “I look down on you and your sister. I feel that you two should be scorned, that you are worthless in my eyes. Do you object?”“You—!”Jules pounced a few more times but never touched an inch of Sally. She could only angrily pant as she pointed at Sally’s nose and cursed, “What right do you have to talk about me and my sister this way?!“You say it like you’re so high and
"Sorta.”Sally smiled faintly. "I hope his accident is neither minor nor too serious, so that I’ll be able to rescue him then. From then on, I can also be like you. I won’t have to worry about food or shelter because someone will take care of it. I mean, even my sister will be taken care of such that she can even point at other people’s noses while cursing at them domineeringly."She looked at Jules with a sneer that carried a hint of disdain. "That sounds good, doesn't it, Ms. Blue?"Jules's face suddenly turned pale. She quickly gritted her teeth and looked at Elijah in the distance. "Mr. Moses… My... my sister isn’t that kind of person. She doesn't think like that, please don't misunderstand…”When Sally saw how panicked she looked and sounded, she frowned and turned her head subconsciously.In the distance, a man in a black suit stood in place gracefully, one hand holding a carved pillar whilst looking toward them with a faint smile.When the man who had been watching everyth
However, Sally did not finish her sentence.That was because just as she was just about to speak, Jules's heart-wrenching voice came from upstairs. "Sis!!!"Sally and Elijah frowned at the same time."Go up and see what’s the fuss.”Sally really did not want to see the two hypocritical sisters, but she still was in Moses Manor, after all. If anything happens to them, she would not know what to do.Elijah took her hand immediately, "Let’s go."The woman struggled to push his hand away. "I'm not going."They’re related to you, not me.”"But you’re a doctor."Elijah sighed helplessly and pulled her into his arms forcefully. He raised his hand and rubbed her head. His actions were gentle and caring. "I mean, if I go by myself..."He lifted her chin and forced her to meet his gaze. "Won't you get jealous?"Sally rolled her eyes. "I'm not jealous."If she saw Elijah checking to see if Wren was okay before she had talked to Jules, perhaps she might have gotten jealous.However, n
"Sam!"Sally walked out of the guest room and pushed open Sam and Sarah's children room.At that moment, Sam and Little Sarah were lying on each of Shawn's arms, listening to him telling them stories.When he saw Sally coming in, Sam looked up at the woman standing at the door with some guilt. "Mo... Mommy, why are you here?"From his guilty little appearance, Sally knew at a glance that it was him.Although the little guy was as smart and mature as his dad, he still inherited some of Sally's characteristics, such as being a bad liar.Sally took a deep breath and looked at Sam with a mixture of anger and helplessness. "Before I get angry, you better be a good boy. Come over here and tell me what you put in the glass of water that you gave Aunt Leigh.”Shawn, who had been busy enjoying the admiration of the two kiddos, frowned slightly, and looked up at Sally with a little displeasure. "Sal, why are you so angry?"Sam is a very good boy. Just now when he saw that Aunt Leigh didn
————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
