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
Elijah’s body shuddered. He lowered his head and gazed at the woman in front of him, whose face was as red as a freshly picked apple. “If you do this…” Sally raised her head somewhat nervously. “What did I… what did I do?” His adam's apple bobbed slightly. “You did… a wonderful thing.” The man gazed at Sally as he raised a hand and ruffled her hair. “Be a good girl and stay home watching television. I’ll be back early.” Sally nodded seriously. “Alright!” “I will!” “I’ll try out recipes with Aunt Leigh too!” When she finished speaking, she lowered her head somewhat shyly. “I can’t always have you cook while I do nothing, right?” “I think I’m a pretty good cook. You should come home earlier this afternoon.”“I’ll prepare a table full of good food and wait for you!” Elijah’s heart felt warm. The next second, the man hugged Sally tightly in his arms. “Good girl.” When he finished speaking, he let go of her and turned to leave. Sally stood at the door and watche
The man got out of the car elegantly and strode into the lobby. “Mr. Moses.” Alyssa walked up to Elijah the minute he entered the building. Her face showed glee and mockery as she leaned forth and said, “Mr. Moses, I heard some rumors circulating about outside… I was wondering if they are true?” Elijah’s eyes narrowed slightly as he paused his steps. “What are you trying to say?” Alyssa pursed her lips and smiled. “Mr. Moses, I don’t think your wife is that sort of person…” “But she admires and loves you so much. It might be a shock that she did something like that, but it can also be explained reasonably.” “I just wanted to ask you, Mr. Moses, what are you planning to do now that something like that has happened?” “If you don’t divorce Sally, you might spend the rest of your life being mocked for being cheated on.” “But if you divorce Sally…” “She only did this because of you. Don’t you think it would be ungrateful of you to push her away once you’ve got what you w
Moses Corporation’s morning meeting.Elijah had not entered the room when he heard the sounds of people talking carelessly. “I would never have imagined our boss would get cheated on in his life!” “That’s impossible. I don’t think his wife is someone like that…” “How is it impossible? You need to remember that Banks Corporation owned shares worth one billion dollars in Moses Corporation!” “One billion! Have you ever seen that much money in your life?” “But if that’s the case, our boss’ wife is super valuable. One billion dollars just to spend a night with her, what a sky-high price!” “Pfft, do you think Sally Summers’ lower body is the valuable stuff here? The true value lies in our boss’ reputation!” “She’s not valuable because she’s alluring. It’s because she’s Elijah Moses’ wife!” The person talking was Xander Lindell, the manager of Moses Corporation’s Fifth Sales Department. Elijah could recognize his voice because he was good at kissing ass, not because he had
During the entire meeting, everyone else besides Elijah was on the edge of their seats, terrified they would say something wrong and become the next Xander.However, Elijah, who was the source of terror, languidly asked a secretary to order a large bouquet of roses when the meeting ended. He could tell that although Sally had lost her memory, she was still the same person as before. She was still the little girl who liked reading romance novels and receiving romantic gestures. Thus… roses were a necessary weapon for him to get on his wife’s good side. Naturally, the fact that Elijah had bought Sally roses caused a major stir in Moses Corporation’s circle of gossip. “Rumors are flying around everywhere… but Mr. Moses still bought roses… it seems like Mr. Moses is truly loyal to Madam President…” ———— At that exact moment, in a ward at A City Central Hospital. “Is Yvette Banks a pig!” Quirinus leaned against his pillows as he screamed and cursed at his phone. “Does she
Sally watched television until ten in the morning. When the clock struck ten, Aunt Leigh began getting ready to replenish groceries. According to Elijah’s schedule, he would usually have lunch around noon. When Sally saw that Aunt Leigh had changed and gotten ready to go out, she hurried over and asked, “Aunt Leigh, are you going to get groceries?” Startled, Aunt Leigh hurriedly nodded. “Yes, Madam.” “Is there anything you would like me to get for you?” Sally frowned in thought before she leaned forth carefully and whispered, “What does Sir… no, my husband, like to eat?” Aunt Leigh was startled. What did Sir like to eat… After thinking about it for a long time, Aunt Leigh clapped a hand to her forehead. “I remember Sir once said his favorite food is your handmade ravioli and fish.” Sally was interested now. “Well then, can you get me the ingredients for ravioli as well as a fish, Aunt Leigh?” Aunt Leigh’s heart melted when she saw the woman’s timid eyes. She smile
“Although I think my life right now… is pretty good. Everyone’s very nice to me.” “But I would still like to know what happened to me.” Then, she said probingly, “Elijah told me to not think too much about it. What about you? Can you tell me?” Evonne smiled. “Maybe after a while. I’ve recently been researching with a group of medical experts overseas and might be able to find a way for you to recover your memory.” “But it’s going to be a while before I can help you.” “The only thing you should do now is to wait. Alright?” “Alright.” Sally pursed her lips. “Seems like it’s the only thing I can do now.” To be honest, she did not like the feeling of not being able to remember anything. She could only listen to what other people had to say. Because she could not remember anything, she did not understand anything, which made what everyone said the absolute truth. She had just hung up when Aunt Leigh and two other servants returned with several full bags of groceries.
————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
