Just like what Amos said, Harley returned downstairs and stayed there for a bit. However, he was still nervous, so he went upstairs again. He knew Thea's temper, so he had been thinking about how to ease the situation between them when he went up. After thinking about it for a while, he went to the nurses' station to wait for Cutie Pie's examination report. He picked it up and walked to the ward. After standing at the ward's door for a long time, Harley mentally prepared his words and pushed the door open. "Cutie Pie's examination report is out. I've brought it here!" Thea was sitting by the bed and Cutie Pie had fallen asleep. She patted the child's back absent-mindedly and said nothing. Harley put the report on the table before continuing. "I lost my temper just now. I know that you're in a bad mood. I'm sorry, Thea. I shouldn't have reacted that way! I'll pay attention to it in the future. It's almost noon. Are you hungry? I'll buy you somet
In the ward, Harley reeked of alcohol. After entering the ward, he saw Cutie Pie lying on the bed and staggered towards him. "Let me take a look at my son..." Thea grabbed him immediately and stopped him, "He's asleep. You reek of alcohol. You shouldn't be near him!" Harley stopped in his tracks. He lowered his head and gave himself a whiff. Then, he took a few steps back. "You're right. My son is in poor health. I shouldn't stay here. I'll leave now! I don't want him to suffer because of me!" Thea felt helpless and sighed, "Where are you planning to go?" She was worried that he would cause trouble outside because he was drunk! "There is a sofa over there. Can you go over and lie down there? I'll get you some water!" Yet, Harley was still trying to leave. His actions made Thea anxious and she roared at him. "Harley Louis!" Almost immediately, the air fell quiet. Harley gave in and headed straight for the sofa. Thea heave
He attempted to get up again after that. However, Thea was already walking towards him with Cutie Pie in her arms. "Are you silly? Why didn't you say that your legs were numb?" Harley shook his head and shrugged, "I didn't say it because I wanted to hold you in my arms for as long as I possibly can!" Cutie Pie looked at Harley, then at Thea. He giggled happily. Harley noticed that Thea's mood seemed to be better. Thus, he took advantage of the situation. "Thea, let's not get divorced, okay?" Thea rolled her eyes at him and pouted, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?" Harley covered his mouth and shot a look at Cutie Pie. Thea soon agreed, "I promise you. But I still have to find him! I will not give up on Cutie Pie!" Harley nodded and said, "Okay! I'll accompany you! We can just conceive artificially... It's just another child. I'll be able to take care of them!" Thea immediately felt guilty again and r
Harley was grumbling under his breath as Charlie entered. He quickly regained his normal posture and asked. "How's it going?" Charlie nodded solemnly and replied, "According to the clues provided by President Granger, we found the man. However, he is no longer in Rosaville City, but in Floral City. Shall we send someone to bring him back?" "There's no need to!" Amos said, "Harley can take it from here!" Amos thought that he had offered enough help regarding the matter between Harley and Thea. Harley nodded and agreed, "Sure! Give me the address!" He no longer thought about the pancakes. He quickly got up and left. After he left, Eudora said, "Let's visit Thea at the hospital!" "I don't think we need to do that today. They should be leaving the hospital today!" Eudora was stunned and asked, "Are you saying that Harley will go to Floral City with Thea? Isn't that guy his love rival?" Amos burst into laughter and chuckled,
Harley eventually hesitated. He didn't think that he'd be able to get over it. Thea turned to face him as she heard this. "What about Cutie Pie?" He could not refute. Indeed, what about Cutie Pie? They were already here. If he backed out, there was nothing else he could do to help him. "Let's go in!" Harley could only let out a wry smile. There were many people in the club. After entering, Thea went straight to the front desk and gave the name of the person they were looking for. The man at the front desk looked at Thea with an ambiguous look and smirked, "There's been quite a lot of women looking for Martin Jacobs recently. I agree that he looks handsome, but he's a sly fox that has cheated many people. However, I recommend you forget about him. He's with a rich woman now! He's not interested in an old hag like you!" Right after he finished his words, Harley, who was behind Thea, grabbed the man by the collar. "Don't talk nonsense. Where
Martin took the brunt of the punch. He was shocked for a brief second before covering his eyes and crying out in pain. "You crazy brute! Why did you hit me? I did nothing wrong!" Harley couldn't control himself. If Thea hadn't been negotiating with him, he might have beaten him up earlier. Now, since he had already made his move, he wouldn't stop easily. He hit Martin mercilessly, one punch after the other. Soon, Martin's cries for help resonated in the corridor. In the end, Thea rushed forward and pulled Harley away when she saw that Martin was going to be beaten to death. "Harley, stop!" After Harley was pulled away, Martin struggled to get up to his feet. He gasped, "If you're so capable, have a baby with her! How dare you hit me? I'm not going anymore!" Thea gritted her teeth and stared at Martin threateningly. "Fine then, if that's what you want! I'll just have him beat you to death right here!" Martin immediately fell si
After settling down in the hotel, Harley looked at Thea tenderly. "Are you hungry? Let's go out and grab some food!" Thea shook her head and sighed, "I'm not going out. I'm going to buy some groceries. Isn't there a place in this residential hotel where we can cook? The doctor said we need to provide sufficient nutrients for him, so..." Harley furrowed his brow as he felt uncomfortable hearing this. Thea shot another glance at Harley and said, "Harley, I..." "It's okay, let's go!" It was his choice. No matter what, he was not going to give up. Not here! However, when he saw how occupied Thea was at the supermarket, he felt jealous. After thinking about it for some time, he finally realized Thea had never cooked anything for him before. But now, she was going to cook something for Martin! ...... After keeping herself occupied for the entire day, Thea finally finished preparing some food. She was about to carry it over to
After a check-up in the hospital, the nurse apologised to them. "Although this gentleman seems to be doing better than last time, I still don't think it's a good idea to operate on him now. It's too risky! You'd better go back and rest for a while longer!" Thea was anxious and said, "Can you do it now? My child can't wait any longer!" "I'm sorry, madam. We really want to help. Doctor Leon put in a good word with us from the start. We'll definitely try our best to help! It's just that there's nothing we can do now!" Thea was on the verge of a breakdown. On one hand, her child was never in a promising condition. On the other hand, Martin hasn't recovered completely. She wasn't sure what to do. Harley reached out and embraced Thea. He said, "Let's head back for now!" Thea looked at Harley and brought it up for the third time again. "Harley, let's get a divorce! I really can't stand it! I can't wait anymore. Cutie Pie can't wait any longer!"
Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, "I'm going to the meeting." As they spoke, her phone rang again. The secretary took a look and said, "It's from Mr. Olsen." Naomi said, "I'm late to the meeting! I'll talk to him after the meeting!" The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before. She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. ...... When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance. "When did it happen?" Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out. "Last ni
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos' domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City. As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos. "Go straight to the Granger Mansion." Eddison asked curiously, "Why are we going there?" "You're going to take over the Granger family's business, that's why!" Naomi teased. Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, "You too." The two siblings' faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate. Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison. Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren't totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison. Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling. After thinking about it, Alfred explained t
After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer. However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight. Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed. She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?" Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!" There was still no movement from the person on the bed. Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve. Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her. He yelled, "Don't you dare!" "Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly
"Mom, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Naomi comforted her. Eudora hurriedly shook her head again, "What are you talking about? Of course, Amos will be fine. He's just angry with me! Where's my medicine? If you don't help me take it, I'll take it myself!" As she said, she got up from her seat. Naomi stopped her again and said, "I'll get it for you! Just wait here!" Eudora sat down obediently and reached out to hold Amos' hand. Naomi took a few steps outside and heard Eudora murmuring to Amos behind her. "Did you hear that? I'm being a good girl. Hurry up and wake up!" Naomi's nose twitched for no reason. She hurriedly restrained herself and quickly walked out. Her parents had been in love with each other for their whole lives. She had witnessed their journey since she was young. Eddison might not know about their history too well as he was really young back then. She remembered the time when there had been a great misunderstanding be
Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora. "You haven't finished the medicine yet!" Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, "I think my body is much better now. I don't need to take it!" "That won't do," Amos remained strong-willed as always. "This medicine is good for your health!" "Medicines are drugs too!" Eudora was still putting on a fight. "You want to poison me to death, don't you?" Amos said helplessly, "Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?" Eudora was rendered speechless. "Either way, I won't take it! It's too big of a pill to swallow. I know you're trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!" Amos was dumbfounded. "There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you." "That's true!" Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos's smiling
The Granger Mansion had been well taken care of, so there was nothing for Naomi to worry about. Hence, she decided to go straight back to Clearwater Bay. Amos and Eudora were not around. Although Clearwater Bay was in Cindy's care, it still felt desolate. In the evening, Cindy prepared a lot of delicious food for Naomi! "Your parents don't know that you're back in Rosaville City, right?" "No, they don't!" Naomi said after taking a sip of the mushroom soup. "Mom is in poor health, therefore I haven't told her yet. I'll go see her once I'm done with the matters here." "That's great! She must miss you and Sugar Bun." "What about you?" Naomi looked at Cindy with a smile. "Is everything alright between you and Uncle Charlie?" "Everything is fine! With everyone supervising him, he doesn't dare treat me badly!" As the two of them talked, Charlie protested from the outside. "Are you talking behind my back again with Miss Naomi?" Charl
It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen. He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan. The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan. Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!" Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm. "I can do this." "Stop lying!" Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over. Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day. However, he had never actually seen her in action. It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked. "Hand me the sauce!" It was not until Naomi called him
The doctor's face was solemn, "If it fails, he will only have two months to live!" Naomi fell silent. She finally understood why Nelson refused to undergo the surgery! "Miss George, you see..." "Are there not any other solutions, or at least something with a higher success rate?" Wasn't five percent too low of a success rate? It would be as if they were sending Nelson to death's door. The doctor shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to do something to help the patient. It's our wish for every patient to recover and live a healthy life, but Mr. Luther is in critical condition. We've really done our best! Moreover, his condition is deteriorating very quickly every day. It's possible that the success rate will lessen tomorrow! Therefore, we have to make a decision as soon as possible!" Naomi started to panic a bit. "Please let me think about it." She felt like an executioner at the moment. Her decision was the key to Nelson's su
"I don't like her anymore! If you want me to go back to the Olsen Group, please stop bugging me with your words!" After saying that, Culver made a call to Aaron. "Mobilize the tracking device that I asked you to create for Nelson, and find out where he has gone! " "Yes, Sir!" After getting a reply from Aaron, Culver made another phone call to the company. "Call the press and make an appointment for a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll explain everything about this matter!" "For the stock market, just follow my orders." Marilyn looked at Culver, composed as ever, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he was the same person he had always been, it had been sometime since she felt this way. He had returned to his former self. ...... Nelson sat on the railing along the river as he stared at the surface of the water in a daze. He did not even turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him
