“You mustn't be too selfish!” Sally did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Dad, weren’t you the one who never allowed me to reconcile with Elijah in the past?” Bennett frowned. “I did say that before, but you never listened.” “Now that I’ve thought it through, I realize that I have so many regrets and am filled with sadness because I never cherished the times I spent with your mom.” “You’re different. You and Elijah have a long future ahead of you. Cherish every day you have, and never be apart from one another.”Sally shook her head helplessly. “I was initially planning on returning tomorrow.” Then, she gazed begrudgingly at Bennett and said, “Aren’t you glad that I’m spending another day with you?” “Why are you making me leave?” “I’m not making you leave.” Bennett sighed. “I’m planning to leave Z City tomorrow too.“It’s time I explained the truth of what happened to your mom, and our grudge with the Moses family to the rest of the family back home.“And…” The ma
Sally frowned. She could not for the life of her think of any deskmates she had had in the past who were this powerful. Just as she was about to voice her refusal once more, Bennett drove the car out of the underground parking lot. Pursing her lips, Sally herded the two kids into the car as she turned to gaze at the man behind her. “Tell your master that I have personal matters to attend to. He will have to wait for fate to do its thing if he wants to meet me!” Then, she opened the car door and got into the car. The man frowned. He was about to say something else, but Bennett had already driven off. “Who was that?” Bennett asked softly as he drove.Sally shook her head. “I don’t know.“He said his master, who used to sit next to me in high school, wants to meet me.” Then, Sally shrugged helplessly. “My classmates were all from the villages near Summers Village. I would never have had a deskmate with such high status.”“It was probably a scammer.“Should we get Zane’s me
After bidding goodbye to Zane and the Bailey family, Sally packed up and boarded a morning flight back to A City with her two kids. Zane and Magnolia had successfully gotten married, and Zane had regained consciousness too. Hence, it was time for her to return to her own life. After all… it had been almost half a month since she last returned to work at the research institute. However, Sally had not expected that after landing at A City’s airport, she would meet the man dressed in black who had approached her the day before at the exit. “Ms. Summers, we meet again.” The man dressed in black was as polite as ever as he gazed at Sally. “What a coincidence.” Sally, “...Coincidence?” She did not think it was a coincidence. She felt that she must have been followed. “No need to be so reserved, Ms. Summers.” The man smiled slightly. “I’m just here in A City to help my master take care of a couple of things. This is genuinely a coincidence.” Then, the man smiled at Sally a
“Daddy, a strange man was stalking Mommy!Little Sarah curled into Elijah’s arms as she pouted and said in a sweet voice, “The strange man stalked Mommy yesterday! He said there’s someone who wanted to meet her!“Grandpa came to pick up Mommy after that, but we saw him stalking Mommy at the airport again just now!” The little girl raised a chubby hand and placed it on Elijah’s chiselled face. “Daddy, you must protect Mommy!” When Elijah heard what his daughter said, he frowned and turned to seek confirmation from Sally. Sally shook her head helplessly. She had no other choice but to nod and reveal the truth. “Yes, but he might not have been following me today. It might have just been a coincidence.“He said that his master knows me, and we used to sit next to each other in high school.”Then, she smiled helplessly. “I didn’t believe him.” “My classmates were all from the neighboring villages back when I studied at Summers Village. There was no way there could be anyone like
Little Sarah, “?“No--! Sam, don’t run! Little Sarah wants to have chocolates too!!!” When she saw Sam going upstairs, the little girl immediately bounded to her feet and used her short legs to run after him. “Sam, I want to have chocolates too!!” “Slow down--!” Worried that Little Sarah might fall, Aunt Leigh hurriedly ran over to the stairs and took the girl’s hand in hers. Sally could not stop a smile from creeping onto her face as she sat on the couch and watched her adorable daughter. “Dumb little girl.” “As dumb as you are.” The man’s voice suddenly rang out. “Our daughter is just like you.” Sally pursed her lips and turned around to retaliate. “I’ve told you before that I’m not dumb!” However, she had not expected Elijah to be… this close. He was so close to her that her lips brushed across his face when she turned around. The next second, Elijah had pinned Sally onto the couch as he kissed her passionately. “Sal.” The man’s voice was infused with his lo
Sally felt herself losing the ability to speak as the man gazed hungrily at her. When she looked instinctively into the drawer, the expression on her face turned solemn as she said, “Why… has it been opened?” The box of condoms in the drawer had obviously been opened before. Moreover, there were also several missing, excluding the one Elijah was holding in his hand. Which meant… that before this, Elijah… The woman felt her heart turn chilly. Elijah raised an eyebrow when he saw the woman’s alert gaze. Then, he immediately understood the reason behind it. Thus, he smiled and took her into his arms. Sally pursed her lips and pushed his arms away from her angrily. “Don’t touch me!” Then, she looked angrily at him. “Elijah Moses, tell me the truth. Did you… go looking for other women in the five years I didn’t spend with you?” There was no other explanation for it! Elijah propped himself up against the bed and smiled as he gazed at Sally. “So, who do you think I did i
“But I wouldn’t have been able to do it if the other person wasn’t you…” “But you!’ “Not only did you go looking for other women, but you did so on this bed…” She and Elijah had countless shared memories on this bed. However, when she knew that Elijah and another woman had laid here… She felt disgusted! How could Elijah… The more Sally thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she struggled to sit up and said, “Let go of me!!” “I…” She had not finished speaking when Elijah kissed her passionately. This time, however, Sally did not seem to enjoy the kiss at all. Conversely, she struggled to break free of his grasp and escape! The woman put a lot of strength into trying to escape. It seemed she was genuinely angry this time. Elijah smiled helplessly and let go of her hand so he could pull her into his arms. “So, you’re that unaccepting of the fact I’ve slept with other women?” Sally refused to say a single word. Elijah smiled helplessly as he kissed t
Because she had not gone to work for two weeks, Sally had planned to get up earlier the next day for work. However, change was unpredictable. The next day, she slept in until the sun was hanging high in the sky. When she woke up, the man who had promised to take the kids to school in the future had already dropped the kids off at the kindergarten and was now laying on top of her. “Wifey.” Sally had a bad feeling in her heart. He rarely lay on top of her and called her “wifey” in such an intimate manner. Sure enough. It was already past 11 in the morning when the man finally scooped her out of the bathtub. Sally rarely had any energy left as she picked up her phone and glanced at the time. She wheezed, “Elijah Moses!” “You b*stard!” The man had never been called a b*stard throughout his life, but he did not get angry. Instead, he elegantly picked up the bowl of oatmeal Aunt Leigh had brought into the room and gazed gently at her as he said, “Eat up.” Sally, “...”
————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
