To be honest, she was a little hungry.

She pursed her lips. "Refrigerate it. I’ll eat after I come back…”

Aunt Leigh sighed and was worried that Sally would get too hungry on the road, so she thoughtfully stuffed flasks of warmed milk in her bag.

After coming out of the villa, Sally got into Ol’ Joe's car as she drank her milk.

After half an hour, the car stopped at the research institute.

Just like yesterday, after Sally got out of the car at the entrance of the research institute, her colleagues pointed at her and gossiped as she walked past.

After all, there was still no explanation for the plagiarism case.

Their stares and gossipping made Sally very upset.

She marched forward and quickly walked toward the floor where Annie worked.

Since Annie said that their director was looking for her when she hung up the phone, Sally went straight to the direction of their director's office when she arrived upstairs.

When she was around 20 meters away from their director's office, Sall

    "It's not that I have experience."Yvette spoke leisurely, "It's just that sooner or later, there will certainly be someone who’ll treat something that’s festering."If it’s not me, it’d be someone else."After speaking, she lowered her head and pretended to pat Annie's face gently. "Don’t you agree?”Annie was in so much pain that she could not say a word.She was in so much pain that she was not even aware of what Yvette was saying to Sally.When Yvette patted Annie, she just instinctively responded with a low and hoarse voice, "Mm-hmm.”"See? Even your friend agrees.”Yvette let out a faint laugh and fiercely pressed down the cotton swab with the ointment on Annie’s arm."Hiss!"Annie yelled out in pain."Do remember that you still have to be cautious when it comes to making friends."Yvette cast a look at Director Wade who rushed over and pressed on Annie's struggling arm."There are obviously better treatments, but Mrs. Moses, you only advised your friend to go for us

    The man smiled faintly. "I’m Quirinus Banks."Sally frowned and searched through her mind for a long time before she finally remembered a boy named Quirinus Banks.That was the boy she sat next to in junior high when she was in Summers Village. She sat next to him for a year before he eventually transferred to another school.It was just that... In her memory, Quirinus was a smiley fat boy!‘This thin and tall gentleman in front of me... is actually Quirinus from back then?’"Yes, it's me."Quirinus smiled faintly and put his hand on his temples. He made a hand gesture because he had probably guessed what Sally was thinking.That was what the little fat boy, Quirinius, always did back then.Sally was so shocked that her mouth was wide open for a long time.‘I guess… boys really do undergo a big change after they turn 18!‘But…’"Why are you here?”"I came to see my sister."The man smiled faintly and then turned his head to glance at Yvette. "Sis, stop causing people troub

    "Tsk. Stop pretending to be a good person."When Quirinus carried Yvette back into the car, she pursed her lips and looked at Quirinus in dissatisfaction. "Didn't you give me the idea to make things difficult for Sally's friend?"So why are you still pretending to be a good person?"Hypocrite!”Quirinus crossed his legs and leaned against the leather seat with a somewhat mocking smile on his lips. "I gave you that idea because I wanted to create a suitable opportunity to meet her again."Yvette raised her eyebrows. "So you were using me?""You’re my sister. Who else am I going to use?”Quirinus smiled faintly and indifferently before handing an Amex black card to Yvette. "Here’s 500,000. Consider the matter over.""That’s more like it.”Yvette pursed her lips and put the Amex black card away. Then, she raised her head and looked at Quirinus at eye level. "Do you really like Sally?"Quirinus curled up his lips faintly. "Of course.""I don’t.”Yvette pursed her lips. "Even if

    Yvette felt a thin layer of cold sweat form on her body as she sat in the backseat and gazed at the half-smile on Quirinus’ face. Her younger brother… had never failed to be both creepy and quirky. ... Ultimately, the news of Sally’s plagiarism blew up. The leading cause for that was Queenie Tate, Q Magazine’s newest journalist, devoting a large portion of the magazine to talk about Sally’s plagiarism. She had also taken the opportunity to expose how Sally was continuing to practice medicine in the academic field even though she had formerly announced she would no longer practice due to her unethical actions. Then, the celebrities signed under the Banks family’s management company all began sharing this piece of information online. The amount of influence these celebrities had over their fans was enough to keep this topic a relevant issue. The internet went crazy as relevant searches skyrocketed. Sally’s phone was about to explode as well. The hospital director

    “I indirectly killed my mom…” Sally’s voice quivered as she lay in Elijah’s arms and said, “I’ve been under so much psychological stress all these years…“Zane always told me that my mom made the choice herself, and I didn’t do it on purpose…“But I just can’t seem to convince myself…” A pained expression appeared on her face as she shut her eyes and said, “Your sister’s condition was really similar to my mom’s. I added an extra step during her operation, which was why… it was a success.“My mom told me not to blame myself before she died five years ago because she had done it willingly.“But I’ve never been able to forgive myself because I had also thought of this step five years ago… However, I hesitated… I was worried… Worried that my mom’s life would be in danger if I added this extra step in.“Yet, my mom couldn’t make it to the end because this step was excluded…” All these years, Sally had kept her past to herself and never dared to bring it up to anyone.

    Her eyes were like two overflowing dams as tears fell onto his sleeves. Elijah held the woman’s petite figure tightly in his arms. His heart ached for her. If she was still this sad when she recalled what had happened back then… How weak and lost must she have been when Nicole left her five years ago? He, the man who claimed to love her more than anyone else, had not been by her side when that happened… The man tightened his arms around Sally. “I swear...“I’ll be by your side for all the important events that will happen to you in the future.” Sally shut her eyes and nodded as she sobbed. “Alright.” ... In the evening. Sally’s eyes were so swollen they resembled walnuts when Evonne arrived at the Moses house. “Elijah Moses!” When Evonne, who had rushed over as quickly as possible, saw the state Sally was in, she grabbed a cushion from the couch and threw it at Elijah. “Was this what you meant when you said you would take good care of her?!” Elijah caught t

    Sally’s hands clenched together tightly. She raised her eyes to gaze at Evonne excitedly. “Did my dad… really say that?” Evonne rolled her eyes at her. “Why would I lie to you?” Then, she sighed and said, “Sal, I know that you’re finding it very difficult to let go of the matter because you’re her daughter. But based purely on logical reasoning, you’re not at fault either.“Didn’t you operate on Aunt Nat in the first place so that she could lead a better life?“It’s not your fault, and those who think that it’s your fault don’t even know the situation. You don’t need to pay them any attention.” Sally pursed her lips. She understood what Evonne meant, and Elijah had repeated the same things to her more than once. She had also told herself the same things for the past five years. However, she felt as if her world was collapsing around her when she thought of how she needed to expose her wounds to the public. Words were dangerous. She did not want to have people pointing

    “Why is she still not here?!” When Sally stepped out of the elevator, she immediately heard a woman screech, “You little b*stard, is your mom too afraid to come?” Then, Sam’s childish yet furious voice rang out. “My mom said she’ll come, which means that she’ll be coming!“I’m warning you! You’re not allowed to badmouth my mom. I won’t forgive you if you don’t stop!” “Haha, you little brat. You won’t forgive me? Who do you think you are? You’re barely half my height but you think you can control me—“Ahh!!! Let go, let go of me!” The woman had not finished speaking when she began screaming. Sally hurriedly dashed toward where the noise was coming from. She was greeted with the sight of Sam hanging off the woman’s arm as he bit her while the woman wailed in pain. The woman lost any rationality she had left and raised a hand to bring it down on Sam’s head...Sally’s eyes widened as she rushed over crazedly. However, she was too far away from them. Just as the woman’s

    ————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
