The first thing she did was to press the power button to turn it off!For some reason, she accidentally pressed the volume up button instead.In an instant, the woman's voice was amplified!Sally's eyes also instantly widened!Meanwhile, Elijah smiled at her as he looked at her. She finally found the power button.She let out a deep breath and pressed it down.The whole room instantly went quiet."Finally, it stopped..."Sally let out a long breath and plopped down as if all the energy in her body had been drained out. She completely forgot that she was in a strange position on top of Elijah at the moment.After her breathing calmed down, she suddenly sensed a hint of seduction and awkwardness in the room.The woman subconsciously lifted her head.In front of her, Elijah was looking at her silently.His gaze was so deep that she could not tell what he was thinking about.With him looking at her like that, she felt a little nervous. When she turned her head to look, she rea
Elijah's kiss caught Sally off guard.She had not even thought about what kind of look or expression she was going to show after being kissed.After all... this was the first time she had been so intimate with him since she lost her memory.She laid stiffly on the bed, her mind going blank.Even so, Elijah did not mind.He smiled faintly when she could not breathe and started blushing as she pushed him away. "So, Mrs. Moses, was that good enough?”Sally's face flushed to her ears as she looked up at him. "I told you... I told you not to suppress yourself, but why did you... Why did you kiss me?!""Because that's what I've been wanting to do.”The man hugged her back into his arms. "Sally."Sally pursed her lips, and her voice sounded a little nasally. “Hmm?”"Please get your memory back soon.”The man let out a deep breath. "I can’t keep holding back like this."Sally frowned and did not understand what he meant.The man raised his hand and pinched her nose. "Because you l
In the end…It was not on her! It was all Director Wade's fault!After Sally was done showering, she got a call from Director Wade. "Mrs. Moses, have you listened to the recording that I gave you with Mr. Moses?"Sally faked a smile. "Yes, I have."Director Wade, it seems that your wife and Mr. Gavin had a fun time, huh?" Director Wade was slightly taken aback. "How did you know that my wife and that Gavin guy...""Wasn't the recording that you gave me the recording of them together?"Sally said angrily, "Let me tell you something, you’d better not pull such a prank on me again next time!”After she said that, Sally immediately hung up the phone.Director Wade, who was on the other side of the phone, sat in his office with a dumbfounded look on his face. 'Did Sally get… the recording of my wife and that Gavin guy?"That meant the recording he gave to that Gavin guy yesterday was…He hurriedly picked up his phone and called someone. "Hello, are you Mr. Gavin...""Hell
Aunt Leigh's words made Sally's heart inexplicably warm.She pursed her lips and looked up at Aunt Leigh. "So... what else has Elijah done for me that's significant?"Aunt Leigh frowned and thought. "A lot...""Like what?""For example, Sir once had a falling out with his family over you."Sally's eyes widened. "He fell out with his family?"With who? Why?"Aunt Leigh was about to say something when one of the servants beside her coughed softly.Aunt Leigh smiled lightly after getting the hint. "You’ll have to ask Sir about that yourself."It might not be good for us servants to say too much."I wouldn't want to be the next Aunt Zelda.”Sally pursed her lips. Since Aunt Leigh had said that, she knew that there was nothing else she could say. All she could do was sigh, go back to the sofa, and sit down. She found a television show and started watching it.She was distracted all morning.Elijah was busy.Pierre was busy.Aunt Leigh was busy.Everyone in the house seemed t
"Although I won’t be able to tell you everything about your past, at least I know everything about you that happened in the past five years.”Sally pursed her lips. When she met such a person who talked straight to the point without the slightest hesitation, who was like a friend and a brother to her, she suddenly felt all her burden disappear. She hurriedly held the phone and plopped down onto the couch by the bedroom’s bay window. She looked at the rustling red leaves falling outside the window. "Then can I ask you... before my relationship with Elijah… was I the one who chased after him?”On the other end of the phone, Zane was silent for a moment."Was that what Elijah told you?"Sally nodded seriously. "Mm-hmm."He said that… I was the one who fell in love with him at first sight and pursued him shamelessly…”When Sally said that, her face turned red.To hide her embarrassment, she coughed lightly. "But that's what Elijah said."When I asked the servants about it at home
After hanging up the phone, Sally lazily continued to watch the television show.To be honest, that phone call did not reduce the anxiety in her heart even by half. Instead, her anxiety seemed to have increased.She wondered why everyone seemed to be hiding a percentage of what they knew during their conversations after she lost her memory.No one was willing to speak openly and honestly with her about the past.She could not figure out anything and she felt like a fool.After she took a deep breath, she stood up and decided to go out for a walk.She could not go on like this!If she kept lazing around at home and overthinking, she would turn into a madwoman sooner or later!Aunt Leigh frowned. "Madam, Sir said that you can't go out for no reason... It's dangerous outside..."Sally pursed her lips and looked up at Blair who was sitting near the railings on the second floor. "What if I ask him to bring me out?”When Blair heard what she said, he raised his eyebrows. "You want
The dates on all these magazines were recent, and the headlines were all about her. Sally carefully flipped through the pages of each magazine and finally realized why Elijah had refused to let her go out, even controlling the news that reached her. It turned out… This was how other people viewed her. Licentious. Flirtatious. Fake. Pretentious. Sally was not angry as she read these false accusations. She only found them funny. She had already gotten angry the other day when Elijah told her about what had happened with Quirinus. Now, she found the whole thing funny. Some people merely followed the crowd and were spreading rumors. They were speculating about how her relationship with Elijah was, how her life was, what kind of person she was… Why did those things concern people who had never talked to her before? She let out a sigh and placed the magazines down. When she turned around, she saw Blair staring blankly in a direction. She frowned and looked towar
The shrill voice drew the attention of everyone in the library, and all eyes were on Sally now. In an instant, the quiet library transformed into a bustling marketplace. Some people whispered among themselves, others sneered coldly, and a few mocked her loudly. Sally heard every person’s voice. She pursed her lips, and the hands hanging by her sides curled into fists. She knew she should not care about what outsiders thought about her, and she should not get angry over gossip. However, she still felt angry when she heard those malicious voices. Was there no one who could mind their own business?“Let’s go.” Blair took a quick step forward and pulled Sally behind him. Then, he turned to look at the girl whose hair was tied into two ponytails. “Is there a back exit here?” The girl was stunned speechless by what had just happened. When she heard what Blair asked, she jolted back to her senses and nodded hurriedly. “Yes, yes! I know the way!” Then, she instinctively
————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
