Mindy was so shocked she almost collapsed to the ground.

Sally had only pushed Elijah a few steps forward before Lionel stopped her.

"Young Master Elijah, well... You can't take your anger out on the entire nursing home just because my employee didn't know how to behave properly."

Sally frowned and glanced at Lionel. "Are you the director here?"

Lionel was thrilled that Sally struck up a conversation with him. "Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm the director here!"

Sally pursed her lips. "Well, the washing machine here has been broken for days and has yet to be fixed."

She suggested in all seriousness, "Since you're the director, please get someone to repair it quickly. The nursing home's sheets are very hard. Washing them by hand is not only very laborious but also not very clean."

With that, she glanced back at the mountain of sheets and quilt covers in the corner. "Hand-washed sheets are certainly not as sterile as machine..."

Since this was a nursing home, maintaining hygiene and disinfect

    Lionel wiped the cold sweat off his head and looked up at the manager and Mindy. "Come here!"Mindy was already paralyzed with fear by the manager's words. With great effort, the manager dragged Mindy over."Young Master Elijah..."With a bang, Mindy dropped to her knees. "Young Master Elijah, I didn't know Sally was your wife... That's why...""I'm not picking on her. It's because the washing machines are faulty, so I..."Before she had finished speaking, a navy-blue figure flashed into the laundry room.The boy, dressed in navy blue, walked up to the washing machine, stretched out his slender fair hand, and turned it on.In everyone's shocked eyes, the washing machine began to work vigorously.Blair curled his lips and stepped aside; his face puffed with anger. "She was lying!"Mindy knelt on the floor, she immediately trembled uncontrollably!Sally widened her eyes. 'Isn't the washing machine... working?''Why did Mindy let her hand-wash the sheets and quilt covers for da

    Mindy looked up in shock. She almost thought she had misheard.The boy, who was dressed in blue, strode over and picked her head up like picking up a chick. With the sound of a smack, a slap landed hard on her face!Mindy was struck dizzy by the slap.She looked up in confusion. "Young Master Elijah, it's… it's for your own good!""For my own good?"The man sneered and pulled Sally into his arms. His actions were gentle, but his voice was cold and unwelcoming. "Is it for my own good to tell lies about my wife to my face?"To see a woman, who once held her head high, beg for mercy on the ground as she was taught a lesson, Sally felt a flicker of joy and a little pity.She turned around to beg Elijah for mercy, but she was reminded of the time she was returned with ingratitude for saving Liam's life in Skyhigh Gardens.Sally simply pursed her lips. Although she found Elijah's punishment a little too harsh, she eventually did not intervene for Mindy.After all, everything happene

    Smack!Blair's second slap landed squarely on Mindy's face.Blair did it with such force that after two slaps, Mindy's face was incredibly swollen.She wept and cried and fell on her knees, begging for mercy, but insisted on Javier and Sally having an unusual relationship.When Blair's fourth slap landed, Mindy was finally knocked unconscious.Lionel came over and asked warily, "Young Master Elijah... Shall I splash her with cold water so you can go on?"Elijah smirked faintly. "You're really hard on your people, Lionel."He glanced down at the little one in his arms. "What do you think?"Sally's eyes were still on Javier.Although she did not admire Javier as much as before, she could not bear to see her former dream guy showing such a self-deprecating and dejected expression.The woman's attention was on Javier. When she heard the man's deep voice in her ear, she immediately came to herself. "Hubby, what's wrong?"Her cry of "Hubby" sounded like nails on a chalkboard in Ja

    Whispering sweet nothings?Sally shook her head. “I wasn’t whispering sweet nothings! I encouraged him to have a little more confidence in himself!”After all, Javier was a top student among thousands from their rural school. He should not have that kind of inferior, self-deprecating expression.Elijah raised his hand and picked up a lock of her hair, playing with it carefully. “What aspect did you want him to be self-confident in?”From the corner of her eye, Sally watched him elegantly toy with her hair. Her eyes turned, and she simply laid straight on his lap.This way, he could more easily touch her hair.He could not see anything after all. She should take care of his feelings.This girl’s bold move made a great portion of the coldness in Elijah’s eyes vanish.Along with that, his tone was no longer that hard either. “What did you say to him?”“I said…”Recalling what she had said to Javier earlier, Sally’s face reddened. “I said that although he’s not as great as you ar

    “If you didn’t have Elijah acting on your behalf, you would’ve been bullied to death long ago!”When Elijah was brought up, the smile in Sally’s eyes deepened. “My Hubby is so great.”Evonne was speechless. “…”She stood up and went to toss her leftovers with Sally, side-eyeing her. “You’ve only been married to him for so long, yet everything you say has ‘Hubby’ in it. You’ve fallen for him so quickly?”Sally’s eyes reddened instantly.She pressed her lips together. “He is my Hubby. If I don’t call him that, what do I call him…”The woman’s voice became smaller and smaller until it was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz. “Moreover, we’re husband and wife. Even if I do like him… There’s nothing wrong with that either…”However, Evonne did not hear what she said later.Because when she turned around to look at Sally, the plate in her hands crashed into a female student.She hastily apologized, but the other party did not say a word.Upon lifting her head, only then did Evonne notice

    Sally narrowed her eyes, her hands tightly balled into fists.Evonne refused to back down. “Joan Lewis, the one who bumped into you was me. What are you going at Sally for?”Joan smiled coldly. “I’ll go at whoever I want to go at. Do I need a reason?”After saying this, coldness flashed in her eyes. “Not to mention what happened last time… Sally Summers, I still haven’t gotten you back for it!”Sally pressed her lips together. As for what happened last time, she had clearly been the victim. It was Joan who had put her on the forum and even purposely came to her to cause trouble.Now Joan actually wanted to get her back?She pressed her lips together. “Ms. Lewis, I don’t want to argue with you. How exactly do you want to settle this matter?”Evonne tugged Sally to her and started walking away. “She already slapped me. How else will it be settled? We’re even now!“And you, still wanting to reimburse her for her clothes… She’d definitely name a high number…”“You’re leaving just

    He looked down, glancing at his calendar. This day had come again.He sighed. “Fine. I’ll go.”It was just picking someone up. After all, aside from interviewing that doctor downstairs, he did not have anything else to do today.After hanging up, Jameson went downstairs and had a simple conversation with Javier. After determining the job and salary, he dismissed Javier.By the time he reached the police station, it was already two in the afternoon.When the person in the police station heard he came to pick Sally up, he was instantly grateful. “You’ve finally come!“This Ms. Summers won’t admit she’s wrong and won’t apologize. She keeps **ing!”Jameson’s head swam instantly.He still remembered this girl’s stubbornness.Sally had been locked in the office at the end of the hallway.“Dr. Chinn?”Hearing the door open, Sally—who had been squatting in a corner—lifted her head.Deep tracks of blood still remained on her face, but her eyes were exceedingly clear.She stood up f

    Sally refused to apologize to Joan.Jameson had to do some cajoling before Sally finally agreed to go take a look at Joan.The apology would be said by him.“Good heavens! Joan, your face!”Jameson walked to the office Joan was in, pulling Sally by the sleeve, where a middle-aged woman’s very exaggerated voice traveled from.“Let Mom see. You were bitten by someone?“Which reckless b*tch dared to treat my Joan this way!”Joan pounced into the woman’s embrace, crying, “Mom… You have to take revenge for me…”Last time, when Joan had humiliated Sally, she had been disciplined by Calvin, so now, Joan did not dare to tell Calvin that something had happened. She only called her mother, Ruth Chant, over.Jameson stood at the door, the vein on his forehead throbbing involuntarily.In this kind of situation, even if he dragged Sally over to apologize, nothing would be settled…However, if they did not apologize, the police would not let them go either.Just as Jameson was hesitating

    ————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
