It took a long time for Elijah to put Sally to sleep."Daddy."Sam plopped down in the doorway and looked at Elijah's back. "Does Mommy really... not recognize you or us anymore?"Elijah gathered himself and turned his head to look at his son who was behind him. "Mm-hmm."But the doctor said that it's only temporary and she'll remember everything soon."Sam pursed his lips and carefully walked over to Elijah. He looked up into his eyes. "Mommy wouldn't get together with anyone else."When we were in Gunter City, many people chased after Mommy but she rejected all of them."Mommy is a very self-respecting person. You have to trust her."The little guy's baby voice made Elijah smile helplessly.He crouched down and raised his hand to stroke Sam's head. "I know."No one trusts her more than I do.""Then..."Sam pursed his lips. "You'll protect Mommy, right?""Right."The man smiled faintly and took Sam into his arms. "I’ll take care of Mommy. Don’t worry."You're a little m
Quirinus was relaxing on the couch in a nightclub. He held a beautiful bottle service girl in his arms as he drank beer and listened to the words of flattery spoken by the people around him. “Young Master Banks, you spent so much money just to get yourself a beautiful girl!” “One billion dollars! Some people won’t even earn that much money in a lifetime, but you gave it all to Elijah Moses just because you wanted to sleep with his wife?” Quirinus smiled slightly as he took the glass of red wine the woman on his lap offered him. “Of course.” “After all, Mrs. Moses had knelt on the ground and begged that she would give me her body so long I returned the shares to Elijah.” “The only thing I could do was listen to her. After all, I’m the one who’s in love with her, right?” Everyone at the table laughed. “That’s true. Elijah’s wife looks so seductive. Is there anyone who wouldn’t like to test her out? Don’t you want to, Z Man? And you, Will?” “Of course I want to, but we aren’
As the gunshot rang out, screams of terror sounded in the nightclub.Amid the noise, Elijah strode out of the nightclub under the protection of his men. The night breeze caused his black coat to billow, attributing a different kind of coldness to him. Back in the nightclub, the people around Quirinus were frantically calling out his name. “Young Master Banks, are you alright?” “Young Master Banks—” “Shut up, get me a doctor!” Quirinus extended a hand and gritted his teeth as he pressed down hard on his thigh. Elijah had shot a hole in his right thigh, and blood was currently gushing out from it. Quirinus had never thought Elijah would have the guts to shoot him! The people around him began frantically calling the police. They also disinfected his wound and bandaged it with gauze. Quirinus gritted his teeth together as his thin lips mouthed out Elijah’s name. Hah. Even if Elijah had wounded his leg, it would not change the fact that Sally’s reputation was already
Quirinus lifted his head. His lips curled upward to form a cold smile as he watched the rain fall from the sky. He took his phone out and quietly dialed a number. “Queenie, time for your people to put on the show.” The memories from yesterday continued to swirl in Quirinus’ mind. As the man slowly lost his consciousness, his lips curled upward. The last thing he heard was people around him screaming his name. ... News of Quirinus’ attack spread like wildfire. Netizens of A City discussed this the whole night. The Banks family would not let this go easily. Elijah Moses had been way too arrogant. He came with a group of people and barged into one of the nightclubs owned by the Banks family before injuring Young Master Banks’ leg. There was no way the Banks family was going to let this go, right? Sure enough... The next morning, Quirinus’ sister, Yvette Banks, posted on Twitter: [Elijah Moses, the Banks family is not done with you!] Elijah, who rarely came
Sally nodded. The next second, she pursed her lips and hurried over to Elijah. “I’ve gotten to know two more people.” Elijah raised his eyebrow slightly as he looked over to where her gaze was directed. “Who have you gotten to know?” “The two of them!” Sally pointed to Aunt Leigh and Pierre. “They told me that the man is Sir, while the woman is Madam.” The woman pursed her lips and gazed questioningly at Elijah. “Are they the owners of this house?” Elijah was slightly startled. Then, he immediately realized that the woman must have misunderstood something. Thus, he pulled her over to a couch in the corner. “So, who do you think they are?” “They must be the owners of this house.” Sally began her analysis in earnest. “I had a look around just now. This house is so large and grand; it must belong to a wealthy middle-aged couple.“Thus, the two of them must be the owners of this house.” The more the woman spoke, the more she thought her analysis made sense. “That sho
“That’s okay. Money can be earned!” She raised her head to gaze somewhat shyly into his eyes. Her face had turned red as she said, “Hello, husband.” Elijah laughed helplessly as he gazed at the woman’s red face. “Why do you believe everything I say?” “Because you treat me really kindly. I don’t think you would lie to me.” “How do you know I’m not lying to you?” Sally pursed her lips and gazed solemnly at Elijah. “Well, have you lied to me?” As he gazed into the woman’s eyes, which had a sincere look in them, Elijah pursed his lips and smiled gently. “No.” “See? I’m right, aren’t I?” Sally continued smiling as she gazed at Elijah. “You haven’t been lying to me, which means what I’ve guessed is true!” When she finished speaking, she gave Elijah a once-over. “Hubby.” The woman’s sweet voice caused Elijah’s heart to skip a beat. He pursed his lips and wrapped an arm around Sally’s slender waist. “Yes.” Currently, Elijah was still only an acquaintance to Sally. Thu
Sally was stunned. She gazed blankly at the little girl in front of her. “You called me… Mommy?” Little Sarah smiled at her. “That’s right.” Then, the little girl turned and yelled out, “Sammy, Sammy, come here! Mommy is awake!” A little boy dressed in a blue shirt strolled over to her. “Alright, alright.” Sam walked over slowly to Sally and raised his head to smile at her. “Ms. Sally Summers, allow me to make introductions.” “My nickname is Sam, while my full name is Samuel Summers.” “The little girl in front of you is my younger sister. We call her Little Sarah, but her real name is Sarah-Jane Summers.” “We’re twins, and you gave birth to us five years ago.” “As for our father,” Sam walked over to the banister by the second floor and pointed calmly at the man downstairs. “That’s this man.” Then, the little guy shoved his hands into his pockets as he walked over coolly to Sally. “I know you can’t remember us now, and it might be a shock and really difficult to acce
Why would a man who owned such a large house with so many servants cook anything himself? —————— Ten minutes later, Sally sat at the dining table and stared at the steaming, golden-yellow fried egg in front of her before she turned to stare at Elijah in disbelief. “Did you really make this?” “Yes.” The man raised his head and puffed his chest out in pride. “Mrs. Moses, if you don’t believe me, I can bring you to the kitchen and have you watch as I fry another one!” Sally pursed her lips. “I believe you. I believe you…” When she finished speaking, she turned to look pityingly at the ugly fried eggs in Sam and Sarah’s plates… Could she not believe him? The man must have fried a lot of eggs and given her the best-looking one, right? If not, why were the servants now all lining up and getting a fried egg from the kitchen? Besides, these eggs… were all uglier than the one before it. He had made so many eggs before finally making one that looked good, and it wa
————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
