After some while, Grayson went downstairs.He had already changed into a clean set of clothes, a black shirt and pants. One could tell how buff he was through the outfit's fabric. When Xenia looked at him, her initial depressed mood brightened up. Grayson's handsome and charming appearance could captivate any woman. Xenia felt a bit hesitant after hearing Belle's words. However, Xenia couldn't help but feel enthralled after seeing Grayson.It didn't matter if Grayson was impotent. His prestigious status could make Xenia overlook all of his shortcomings.Xenia would become the world's richest woman once she married Grayson. By then, she could sleep with whichever man she wished in private.An infatuated look gleamed in Xenia's eyes as she looked at Grayson. Grayson didn't know that Belle had slandered him. Therefore, he was relaxed and in a good mood.Grayson treated Xenia like air and wholly overlooked her. After scanning the living room, he failed to find Belle. "Where'
Grayson was already seated at the dining table. "Grayson, I'm unsure if I should tell you something. It's about …" Xenia quickly sat across from him and started hesitantly."Don't say it if you're not sure. I'm going to eat now," Grayson interrupted her indifferently, not even bothering to lift his head. Xenia furrowed her eyebrows aggrievedly. Just when she was about to continue talking, Grayson suddenly lifted his head."Why did you sit down again? Didn't you already eat?"Upon hearing that, Xenia hurriedly tried to appease him, "I haven't eaten yet.""Not yet? Didn't you eat with Belle?""Nope. Belle was the only one who ate. I thought it was inappropriate for me to eat before you returned.""Why's that?""You're the man of the house. I figured I should wait for you to return before eating."Grayson furrowed his eyebrows. "Must the man of the house accompany you? It's not enough for the lady of the house to accompany you to eat?"Xenia's expression turned meek. "Men are s
Meredith comforted Sixteen before telling Xenia, "Sixteen likes Mr. Page and Ms. Walters. It's probably hostile toward you because it has never met you before. Are you going upstairs to look for Mr. Page? Should I go up and inform him first?"Xenia quickly shook her head. "No need."She only wanted to go upstairs and check out Grayson's living environment. Plus, she wanted to find a chance to talk with him.Xenia didn't want to call him downstairs. It would make her look ignorant. However, she couldn't go upstairs now that Sixteen was blocking her way.Although she couldn't go upstairs, she didn't want to leave just like that. Thus, she could only stay on the first floor.Meanwhile, Belle had arrived at Syl Hospital.Dorothy was already at the hospital waiting for her. Upon seeing her, Dorothy was ecstatic and personally led her to the intensive care unit.Coincidentally, Simon was there as well. Although Belle was wearing a mask, he still recognized her.However, before Simon
Dorothy replied, "We've also investigated that. However, we didn't find anything off."Belle's eyebrows were furrowed deeply. Then, she returned her focus to the patient and did another check-up on him. However, she failed to find anything useful after performing a check-up on him.Belle frowned. "We can only isolate him here for the time being. Nobody can get close to him other than the hospital staff. Let's observe him for a little more. I will study his condition after I head back.""Alright."The duo left the ward and took off their protective clothing.A middle-aged woman suddenly rushed up to them. She grabbed Belle's wrist tightly.The woman's eyes were red. "Doc, how's my husband? Is he awake yet? Can he be cured?" Her voice was choked up.Belle glanced at the middle-aged woman. However, Dorothy spoke before Belle could say anything. "She's not a doctor. She's just a nurse. I'm the doctor in charge of your husband."Belle knew that Dorothy was covering for her. "This is
The ugly woman said, "However, we could only know Dorothy's whereabouts due to the appearance of frostle pills. I really didn't expect that she would still be alive! She suffered such serious injuries back then … "No! She can't be alive! She must die! She knows about what happened back then, after all. We must find a way to deal with her quickly!" "I know." The young woman glanced at the clock on the wall. "I'm going to leave now. Take good care of yourself. Give me a call if you need anything," she said indifferently.The ugly woman was startled. "A-Are you leaving right now?'"Yes.""Are you going to Maltford?""Yes.""To find Grayson?""Yup.""However, I've heard that Grayson is already married. How do you plan to approach him?""I'll kill his wife first. Then, I'll approach him." The young woman had uttered such a ruthless reply in a relaxed manner.The ugly woman was rendered speechless.Seeing that the young woman was already heading out, she quickly called out, "Le
Grayson had a darkened expression after a while as he dragged Simon by his collar to the end of the corridor. With gritted teeth, Grayson pointed out of the window. "You'd better give me an explanation. Otherwise, I'm going to throw you out from here! I'll also take care of your funeral at that!"Simon was helpless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Your wife seriously isn't sick. If you don't believe me, I can perform a comprehensive examination on her right before you."Seeing that Grayson was still suspicious, Simon added, "If I'm lying to you, I'll curse myself that Sabrina will ignore me for the rest of my life."Upon hearing that, Grayson furrowed his eyebrows. He believed Simon.Sabrina Yanez was the person that Simon cared about the most. He loved her to death. Thus, he wouldn't make jokes about matters concerning himself and Sabrina.This meant that Belle was really not sick.Grayson could finally relax. However, he soon furrowed his eyebrows again.If Belle wasn'
Simon was surprised. "I remembered you bought some half a year ago. Did it stop working so quickly?""Yup."Simon's expression turned serious. "It's not feasible for the duration of the scent to last shorter and shorter. It's like smoking and drinking. Once you get addicted to it, it's hard to quit. Next time, ask the scented sachet seller if there's anything wrong with it." Grayson always had poor sleep quality. Thus, he relied on the scented sachets to sleep for many years.The scented sachets were an unexpected purchase when he went abroad years ago. He didn't expect them to work so well, either. He even had Dorothy check its ingredients. It turned out that its ingredients were safe, only containing some sleep-aiding herbs. However, one scented sachet could last him about two to three years when he first bought it. As time went on, its duration became shorter and shorter. This time, it lasted only six months before losing its effectiveness.Before Grayson could reply, Simon
Grayson furrowed his brows. "He's talking nonsense! I didn't say anything about that!""If you didn't, why did Dr. Sylvester say you did?""He was deliberately trying to make me angry!""Aren't you guys best friends? Why did he want to anger you? What did you do to him?"Grayson furrowed his brows. "It has nothing to do with you!"Belle pursed her lips. "Since it has nothing to do with me, don't get me involved. Gossip spreads easily, but clarifications are hard to make. We have nothing to do with each other. You're not allowed to discuss me behind my back!"Grayson was rendered speechless.After saying that, Belle cleared her throat and continued, "Although you seemed to be cursing me by saying that I had a terminal illness, your attitude touched me. Thank—""Don't be so presumptuous! Although I did worry about you dying from terminal illness, it's not because I like you. I was worried that if you died, I wouldn't be able to explain it to my grandfather and your grandfather!"
