Chapter 812

Author: A Thousand Reliefs
“Hubby.”

Sally pursed her lips as she dragged Elijah over to a table. “Don’t look at her. She’ll dampen your spirits.”

Then, she hurriedly changed the subject as she passed the menu to Elijah. “I’ve ordered this, this, and this… It’s been a long time since you’ve eaten street food, right?”

Elijah removed his gaze from Queenie and calmly watched Sally try and cheer him up.

He knew Sally was trying to make him happy because she worried he would remain in a bad mood.

However, he was not in a bad mood.

What had happened years ago was rage-inducing, but he felt much better after beating up Daniel.

Thankfully, his father and Daniel were on two opposite ends of the spectrum although they were brothers born to the same parents.

If he had not accompanied Sally to the Larson family and met Tina Castillo, he might still be doubting his father’s morals now.

Thankfully, it was all a misunderstanding.

“Hubby, are you listening to me?”

When Sally saw Elijah lower his head and no

    After Elijah swung his fist and connected with the man’s face, he turned and pulled Sally into his arms. He seemed to be protecting her in the crook of his arm as he glared coldly at the thin, middle-aged man sitting on the chair. “I would definitely be willing to listen to you if you had anything to say.” The middle-aged man glanced at Sally, who was laying in Elijah’s arms. His lips curled upwards into an admiring smile as he said, “Not bad. You’re a real man.” “I’ve been in this field for a long time and have seen countless couples go their separate ways once they encounter trouble. I’ve also seen men who betray their ladies during critical moments.” “I can tell you’re a real man by the fact you’re still protecting your woman now.” Then, the middle-aged man smiled. “I won’t beat around the bush if we’re all real men here.” “Our employer said you can either give us your woman.” “Or both of you will die here tonight.” The middle-aged man gazed at Elijah. “Seeing how impo

    “When you think of Quentin, you think of the words ‘drama king’.” “Not many people know that I have once saved Quentin Hansen, current mafia boss of Z City who’s well making a name for himself now.” “He was being chased at that time and had collapsed near the bins, covered in blood. I took him to my home.” “I gave him half his life back. If I hadn’t been soft-hearted then, he would never have been able to return to his gang and become the Sir Hansen everyone knows and respects today.” “He’s a funny one. He’s willing to do things for a certain amount of money, but he always abides by his principles.” “Sal, if you and Elijah ever run into trouble at Z City, you can always go look for Quentin. He owes me a huge favor that I’ve never allowed him to return!” ............ Sally would have never imagined that the long-winded stories Nicole had told her five years ago would end up being what saved her during these critical moments. And it was thanks to her naturally wonderful

    Quentin did not bother concealing his emotions as he gazed at Sally. Nicole was already dead. There was no point in him hiding his feelings for her. Might as well come clean about it and admit everything. Perhaps he might be able to keep that photo for himself and have something to use when he reminisced about her. Sally was startled. She had only shown him the photo because she wanted to prove her relationship to Nicole. How would she have expected… That Quentin Hansen had also been one of her mom’s admirers?She did not want to part with it. After all, it was the last photo she had taken with her mom. However, it seemed that she and Elijah would only be out of danger if she were on good terms with Quentin. Thus, Sally took a deep breath and gazed awkwardly at Quentin. “I can give this to you…” “But…” The woman glanced at Quentin. “Your employer wants my husband and me…” “Who cares about the employer!”Quentin waved a hand. “Everyone, back off!” The lewd man’

    “I realized it made sense after giving it some thought. After all, you’re Nicole’s daughter. You spent so many years without her, and she’s now passed away after you two reunited…” “So, there’s no way I’m going to keep this photo for myself.” “Please wait for a moment. I got one of my men to make a copy of the photograph.” “I’ll take the photocopied version.” “You can keep the original one for yourself!” “Thank you, Sir Quentin.” Sally felt an indescribable emotion within her as she gazed at the man. Perhaps her mom had told her all this in advance because she had guessed something like this would happen one day? Daniel seemed even crueler to her now when she thought of her mom. If not… Her mom would never have passed away at such a young age. “Your husband is a good man.” Quentin glanced at Elijah before he turned to Sally and sighed, “You have much better taste than your mom did.” Sally pursed her lips. “It’s alright…” Honestly, it had all been a coinciden

    Bennett had just finished writing his letter when Elijah and his men knocked on the door. Someone knocked on the door just as he was placing the exquisite letter paper into an envelope. He frowned and looked unhappily in the direction of the door. After he had carefully closed the door leading to Sam and Sarah’s door, he walked over to the door and asked impatiently, “Who is it?”“Dearest father-in-law, it’s me.” Elijah’s deep voice rang out on the other side of the door. Bennett’s frown deepened. “Look at the time now. Why did you come here instead of accompanying Sally?” Elijah was not the slightest bit offended when he heard Bennett’s annoyed voice. He smiled slightly as he continued saying, “I have something I need to tell you.” Bennett frowned. “Must you talk to me tonight?” The two children were already asleep. He worried that the sounds of him talking to Elijah would wake the two children up.Little Sarah was alright, but Sam had always been a sensitive kid.

    As if he could read Bennett’s mind, Elijah smiled helplessly and beckoned at Pierre. “Father-in-law, I would like to show you a recording.” While he spoke, Pierre turned on the laptop. The laptop showed surveillance footage. The footage showed Queenie, who was wearing a red coat, helping a man who had the same clothes and build as Bennett, walk out the ward. The man had a cap and mask on, but the clothes he had on was the exact outfit Bennett had worn to attend the wedding today! Even now, as Bennett sat in front of Elijah, he had on the same jacket as the one shown on the screen! Bennett’s eyebrows knotted themselves together. If he recalled correctly, Queenie was the one who had bought him the jacket he was wearing. He had always thought his daughter understood his taste in clothing, and he really liked the jacket. Thus, he would always wear it whenever he attended any formal events. Back then, Queenie had even told him that she had designed the jacket herself. It w

    “My men have looked into this.” Elijah sighed and said, “Queenie planned everything.” “She arranged to have someone cause trouble for Sally and me and placed a device that would cut off the signal on our phones to ensure we would be out of the way. Then, she took advantage of the fact that my servants would not go against any of your wishes and managed to rescue Daniel Moses successfully.” “They headed straight for the harbor after they got out of the hospital.” “Daniel has already boarded a boat that will smuggle him out of Z City.” Bennett was shaking with anger when Elijah finished speaking calmly. “How could Queenie…” How could she hurt him this way! She knew he hated Daniel Moses to the very bone! If the person who hated him the most in this world was Elijah Moses, then he, Bennett Tate, would be a close second! Daniel Moses had caused his family to fall apart! However, Queenie, his beloved adopted daughter… Had left with his enemy… The man shut his eyes.

    Zane laughed too. “Never would I have imagined that there would be a day where I could sit down and laugh as I listen to you talk about Sal.” In the past, he had rejected advances from any other woman as he only had eyes for Sally. That had caused him to neglect Magnolia, who had always been at his side. She might sometimes disappear, but she would always appear whenever he needed her. However, a sudden car accident had caused him to realize. How nice it felt to have someone who cared for you. He turned and gazed calmly at Elijah. “How should we let them know?” Elijah raised a hand to massage his throbbing temples. “Let’s tell them the truth.”Previously, Elijah and Zane had felt that the fewer people who knew about Daniel’s escape, the better. Elijah had not even spoken a word about it to Sally because he was concerned that she might be sad and worried. However, if keeping this a secret would affect Magnolia and Zane’s marriage… they might as well tell the truth. Af

    ————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
