Author: A Thousand Reliefs
She looked up and sized up the girl in front of her, who seemed to be much younger. "Are you... the fiancée that he mentioned on the phone?"

The girl was startled, nodded quickly, and cleverly extended her hand. "You must be Sally. He talks about you a lot.

"I’m Magnolia Bailey. Just call me Maggie.”

The girl gently squeezed the strap of the backpack with her fingers and asked awkwardly, "He said that he was going over to give you a surprise first. How did this accident happen?"

Sally closed her eyes, and for a moment, she did not know how to explain it to her.

She looked up at the girl in front of her. "Maggie, you... should be mentally prepared."

"Zane's injury... doesn't seem to be minor."

The girl was startled, and it was only then did she realize the seriousness of the matter.

Her dark brown eyes sank. "He’ll... be okay, right?

"We just… got engaged not too long ago.”

Sally had been feeling okay before she said that. As soon as she said that, Sally's heart suddenly start

    After Jules was slapped, her head tilted to the side.She licked the sweet blood on her lips and looked up at Maggie with a hint of coldness. "Who the hell are you?”Maggie looked at her coldly. "I’m the fiancée of the man inside!“My fiancée is in this state because of you!"If something happens to him, you’ll never hear the end of me!”Jules looked at Maggie for a long while before smiling.She looked at Maggie with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. "You’re that man's fiancée?"Then poor you."If you didn't say anything, I would’ve thought you were Sally's younger sister."That man probably got with you because you’re just a rebound after Sally, right?"When she said that, she shook her head pitifully. "Poor girl. You poor girl."Poor girl. Even though he had a rebound, in this case, you, he’s still not over Sally."Otherwise, he wouldn't drive straight into that truck for Sally’s sake."Maggie balled her fists tightly on both sides.After a while, she let go and looked at

    Sally laughed coldly as she lifted her leg and shook Jules’ arm off. “Do I have to listen to you just because you’re begging me?“What would you have done if you knew this day would come?“Didn’t you know you would not be able to escape the law after doing this?” Jules’ face turned pale. She had guessed as much. She had predicted everything that would happen today. However, her sister’s face had turned into a permanent worried frown over the past few days. She said she had to leave Elijah and A City now that Sally was back. Over the past three years, Jules could tell her sister had been living a good life as she stayed with Elijah. If they left Elijah, not only would her sister be unable to receive the best treatment, but the quality of their life would greatly decrease as well. She would be the first to admit she did not know how to earn enough money to allow her sister to live the life she wanted. However… she could at least get rid of Sally! As long as Sally died

    It was already the next morning when Sally woke up again. Evonne’s eyes were red as she kept vigil by her bed. Upon seeing Sally wake up, Evonne hurriedly helped her to sit up, and asked, “How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” Sally massaged her aching head and asked, “What happened to me?”“You haven’t had enough rest for the past few days because you were busy with your paper and got a huge shock outside the research institute. After that, you were overcome with sadness when you heard about Zane’s injury, which is why you fainted.” Evonne sighed as she poured Sally a glass of water and handed it to her. “You’re fine now, but…” Sally furrowed her eyebrows. “Zane’s fiancée hasn’t slept the entire night. She’s been sitting by his bed, holding his hand and saying she’s sure he’ll wake up in the next hour.“But one hour after the next… and an entire night has passed. She’s still confident that Zane is going to wake up, and she wants to wait for him to wake up.”

    Then, she flattened her lips in disdain as she said, “Didn’t I tell you to not deliver my breakfast so early in the future?“I’ll be hungry before lunchtime if I have breakfast too early.” Sally had just stepped into the room when she heard Wren saying this. Her lips curled upward slightly. “Seems like I’m being rude.“Should I have brought breakfast along when visiting you, Ms. Blue?” The woman’s cold voice was tinged with mockery. Startled, Wren raised her head and saw Sally dressed neatly whilst standing by the door. She frowned. Picking up the remote, she turned off her k-drama and asked, “How did you find the time to come here, Ms. Summers?”“Well, I’m here to visit you.” Sally smiled slightly as she walked over and sat down on the couch. “How did you sleep last night, Ms. Blue?“Your sister spent the night in custody.” Wren frowned as she pretended to open her mouth in shock. “What happened to Julie?” Sally smiled as she watched Wren’s acting. “Ms. Blue, there

    Sally laughed when she saw how easily Wren shifted the entire blame onto Jules. She looked at the nonchalant expression on Wren’s face as she said, “All that aside, Jules has spent years as your sister. Don’t you feel even the slightest bit of guilt for using her like this?” “Why should I feel guilty?” Wren laughed coldly. “She’s been fighting with me for everything ever since we were kids. My parents even said they were going to let her continue her education instead of me because she got better results than I did!“If my parents hadn’t died in that car crash when she was in 9th grade, I would have to go work and continue supporting her education!“On what grounds?“I am my parent’s child by blood. Everything should belong to me, to me!”Wren seemed to recall many things from the past as her gaze turned bloodthirsty and her voice turned crazed. “Jules Blue is not my sister!“I’ve never thought of her as my sister!“I would have long cast her aside if she hadn’t had even th

    Wren raised three fingers. “Don’t worry. I swear I’ll never try to get together with Elijah ever again!“I never liked him. It was just because of his fame and social standing!“There are many good men in this world. I’m not fixated on him, so…” Sally yawned as she looked at Wren the same way one would look at a clown. “Wren Blue, do you know how hilarious you seem now?“Elijah and I are going to spend the rest of our lives together. I’m going to have to tell him all about this one day.“Now that I’ve caused such a huge accident by keeping these secrets, I don’t plan to keep anything more from him.“As for you… we aren’t related in the slightest bit. Why should I agree to this deal?“Do you think I’m an idiot like Jules Blue?“Then, she took out her phone and dialed a number. “Ol’ Joe, bring them over.” Sally gazed at Wren after she hung up and said, “That’s right, you didn’t receive much of an education. Perhaps you didn’t know that it counts as fraud if you impersonate som

    Elijah dropped the two kids off at kindergarten. “Sam and Sarah’s dad?” The employees at the kindergarten asked enthusiastically. Elijah held the hand of each child in one hand. He nodded calmly and said, “Yes.” “You can pass the children to me.” The employee smiled as she took Sam and Sarah’s hands and said to Elijah, “The weather has been turning chilly lately. It’s forecasted to rain today too. Sam and Sarah aren’t dressed quite warmly enough.” “Can I trouble you to return home and get the two little ones a jacket?” “They’re children, and their immune systems haven't fully developed yet. They’ll catch a cold easily if they don’t keep themselves warm.” Elijah hesitated for a second before he nodded and said, “Alright.” When Elijah returned to the Moses mansion, he rifled in the cabinets, but he could not find any suitable ones. He was just about to call Sally on the phone, but he then saw the suitcase underneath Sam’s bed. The man clapped a hand to his forehead.

    A minute later. Aunt Leigh had just arrived downstairs and was about to sweep the floor when Elijah rushed down the stairs. He was holding a scrapbook and striding toward the door. Aunt Leigh was confused.Wasn’t he going to deliver jackets to the two children? Why… “Aunt Leigh.” The man paused when his hand touched the doorknob. “Please deliver the jackets beside the suitcase to the two children at the kindergarten.” “Also, please prepare something for all the children in the kindergarten to eat. Tell them that it’s a present from Sam and Sarah’s father.” The man turned and left once he finished speaking. Aunt Leigh frowned. “Sir, didn’t you say you were going to deliver them yourselves?” “I have something even more important to do!” Elijah raced off like the wind after saying that. Aunt Leigh shook her head as she watched the man run off. —————— Sally had just left the police station when she received a call from Elijah. The man’s deep voice was ting

    ————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
