Sally managed to convince the head physician.

The doctor sighed and patted Sally on the shoulder before he began rounding up his doctors and nurses to leave the room.

When everyone left, Sally, who had put on a white coat, walked over elegantly to the door and closed it. Then, she picked up her phone and fiddled nonchalantly with it as she gazed coldly at Wren, who was still lying “unconscious” on the bed. “Ms. Blue, it’s just the two of us now. You don’t need to pretend anymore.”

The woman lying on the bed did not move a muscle. She truly seemed to be unconscious.

However, Sally knew otherwise.

Because she saw the rhythm of Wren’s ECG become unstable once she started talking.

It was an indication of surprise. She must not have expected Sally to suddenly speak to her, and she felt sheepish.

“Your ECG has betrayed you.”

Sally yawned and gazed at Wren. “But I won’t expose you if you would like to continue putting up an act, Ms. Blue.”

    When Sally opened the door to the resuscitation area, Jules rushed forth and glared at her. “What did you do to my sister?” “Nothing.” Sally elegantly took off her white coat and turned to look at the nervously awaiting doctors. “You should go in now. She’ll be waking up soon.” The doctors glanced at each other before they all rushed into the room. Jules hurried after the doctors after they all rushed in. Several seconds later, Jules's hysterical voice rang out. “Sis! You’re finally awake!” “Ahh--! You scared me half to death!” Elijah smiled slightly at Sally when he heard the woman in the room. “That impressive?” “Imagined illnesses should be treated with imagined medications.” Sally raised her head and smiled coyly at him. “Do you want to take a look at her?” Elijah narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. “I don’t think it's necessary if it was an imagined illness.” Compared to the Blue sisters, he much trusted this woman, who had birthed him two children and was g

    “I’m actually not that popular with women, I…” “Stop.” Sally waved her hands. “It’s not up to you to decide if you’re popular with women. It’s up to the women to decide.” “Either way, I plan to go on leave for the next two days and conduct academic research at home. When everyone’s calmed down after two days, I’ll return to work at the research institute and publish my newest paper. That’s settled then.” “Now, bring me to the research institute so I can get my materials.” Elijah sighed as he nodded and got the keys from Ol’ Joe so he could act as Sally’s driver. It was past eight at night when they arrived at the research institute.It was pitch black inside the research institute. When Sally got out of the car, she took the flashlight she always carried with her and the key to the research institute that she had requested in advance from her bag. She unlocked the door with several deft movements and entered. Elijah frowned and shook his head slightly as he watched his

    The man pursed his lips slightly as he held onto Sally’s hand with his large, well-defined hand. His deep voice sounded gentle as he said, “I’m just going to flick the light switch on.” “I’ll be done once I turn on the light. Be a good girl.” Sally pursed her lips and hummed in agreement, but her arms never left Elijah’s waist. She bit down on her lip and said, “Take me with you.” Elijah smiled helplessly. “I just need to go down one floor. Stay here and wait for me.” “I don’t want to.” Sally started acting like a child, which she rarely did after their reunion. “I want to go with you.” “I…”The woman’s face started burning in the dark. Sally was thankful for the surrounding darkness right now. Else, there was no doubt he would begin laughing at her once he saw her face that was redder than a monkey’s bottom… Elijah smiled slightly when he heard her coquettish voice. He took her hand in his and asked, “Scared?” “Yeah.” Sally pursed her lips as she said nervousl

    Sally shuddered. The situation he had just mentioned… It was not as if she had never been in one like that before. “I’ll pretend I’m not scared.” The woman pursed her lips as she said in a clear voice tinged slightly with helplessness, “I couldn’t have the kids knowing I was terrified, could I?” “In their minds, their mom is powerful and strong.” “So, no matter how scared I am, I’ll always pretend I’m fine in front of the kids.” “Because I’m the kids’ hero.” The woman’s voice was just as sincere and serious as ever. Elijah’s grip on her body faltered. He could imagine how she, a weak, petite woman, looked like when she pretended to be strong. That look was enough to cause pain in anyone’s heart. A second later, his voice sounded choked as he said seriously, “I’ll be here in the future. You won’t have to work so hard anymore.” “You’ll be the kids’ hero, and I’ll be your hero.” Sally placed her head against his back and listened to his heartbeat. “Alright.”

    “You’re famous now.” The next morning, Sally had not even gotten out of bed when she received a call from Evonne. “Everyone on the internet is talking about you now.” On the other end of the line, Evonne was rocking back and forth in laughter as she said, “Some even accused Elijah of not being a devoted person because he gave up looking for his wife after just five years.” “Some also accused Elijah of betraying his wife who suffered through hardships with him because he and his ex-wife never showed any affection to each other in public. However, you two are displaying your love everywhere. They said that the second marriage is always better…” “This is hilarious. If there’s anyone to blame, you and Elijah are to blame for being so low-key. Everyone knows Elijah has an ex-wife, but no one knows her name.” Sally lay in bed, still half-asleep as she listened to what Evonne had to say. She felt a headache coming on as she listened to her. … The audience had a lively imagination.

    Sally was speechless. “…”She snatched the phone and raised her head to look at Elijah a little angrily. “Why did you phrase it that way?”“Then why did she phrase it like?”Elijah raised his hands and pulled the woman into his embrace, inhaling the fragrance of her hair. “It hasn’t been easy for me to get to this stage with you.“I know your value. I don’t need you to test me any more.“Even if she was doing it for your good, if you really did as she said, that would have been an even heavier blow to me.“It wasn’t easy for us to get together, so don’t test me again, okay?”The man’s low voice made Sally’s heart soften greatly.She pressed her lips together and laid in his arms, feeling his steady breathing. “But Evonne was doing it for me.“In the past, the way you treated me… really crossed the line.“She’s just worried I’ll get hurt again.”As she said this, she raised her head. “And don’t you dare say it was because Evonne wanted to make things difficult for you.

    When Sally walked out of Elijah’s room, her face red, the two little tykes outside were obediently wearing their suit and dress, leaning on the corridor walls as they carried their school bag on their backs. They looked like two students in time-out.Seeing Sally come out, Sam flattened his lips and winked at Sally. “Mommy doesn’t have enough resolve, to be tamed so quickly.”Sally’s face reddened.Seeing this, Little Sarah hurriedly ran over and shielded Sally behind her back. “You can’t say this about Mommy. Mommy is like me—we both like Mr. Handsome!”Sam rolled his eyes at Little Sarah. “Just as silly as Mommy.”Little Sarah grunted straightforwardly, “Hmph! The teacher said girls being a little silly makes them more likable!”The two children’s youthful voices made Sally’s mood suddenly lighten.She smiled mildly and squatted, then rubbed Little Sarah’s head. “Where’s the homework you need Mommy to sign?”Little Sarah flattened her lips. She tiptoed and leaned into Sally’s

    “You will get fat!”Sam let out a deep breath. “If you want Mr. Moses to take us to school every day, that’s fine, but Mommy has to take us to school together every day too.”Sally was startled and subconsciously asked, “Why?”She had just been thinking that if Elijah sent the kids to school from now on, then she could laze around at home…Truthfully speaking, during these past few years, aside from during certain special circumstances, she had taken the two kids to and from school every day by herself single-handedly. It was actually quite tiring.Now there was an opportunity to laze around, yet her own son would not let her.“To stake your claim.”Sam’s lips flattened and he replied in a low voice, “The ladies at the kindergarten are like tigers hunting prey, so whenever Mr. Moses goes to kindergarten, Mommy has to come too.“Otherwise, the kindergarten teachers will go crazy.”Sally was speechless. “…”‘Your dad Elijah makes many women go crazy. I don’t care at all!’Howe

    ————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
