"I really envy you, being able to eat such delicious desserts every day," Flora said with feigned resignation.
Nydia quickly took her hand. "What's there to envy? If you want, you can come over every day! Or I can have them delivered to you."
Flora laughed, "I couldn't possibly do that. If my husband found out, who knows what he'd say about me."
"What's the big deal? This is between us women. It's just a few pieces of dessert. We're practically family now, so why fuss over such trivial things?"
Flora's smile became more genuine. "Exactly, who would have thought we'd end up being so closely related?"
"Indeed. I just adore Odelia!"
Odelia jumped in, "Auntie, you're too kind. I'm not as perfect as you say. Otherwise, I wouldn't still be single at this age."
"Perhaps fate intended for you to meet Lambert," Nydia said with a knowing smile.
Odelia blushed, then put on a slightly bitter expression. "Lambert seems to dislike me. He nev
By the time Lambert snapped out of his thoughts, his car was already parked at the entrance of the complex.He got out and walked to that familiar spot, looking up at the second-floor window.He knew that was where Lydia lived, but now, he no longer had a place in that home.Lambert stood there for a long time, smoking cigarette after cigarette.Finally, he stubbed out the last one and strode purposefully towards the apartment building.He couldn't stay passive any longer.Since Lydia refused to talk to him, he would take the initiative.After the doorbell rang, he heard Lydia’s familiar voice, "Coming!"Then the door opened, and Lydia's delicate face appeared, making Lambert's heart flutter. Lydia was clearly taken aback as well.She thought she had made things clear with Lambert, but here he was again."What are you doing here?"Lydia's voice was cold and distant, trying to make Lambert leave on his
In front of them, thinking they had shaken off the paparazzi for good, Lambert was dismayed to find the pursuing car relentlessly closing in.Frustrated, he jerked the steering wheel in reverse. In that split second, due to the excessive speed, Lambert failed to notice a truck hurtling towards them from the side road.Everything seemed to happen in a blink of an eye.The truck grazed the front of the Maybach, sending the entire car crashing brutally into the guardrail.In that moment, without a second thought, Lambert spread his arms, shielding the two people he loved most in his life!The massive truck didn't stop either, colliding directly with the following press car, leaving no survivors inside.Five minutes later, the major traffic accident was reported, and the few survivors were rushed to the hospital.White walls, bustling doctors, the sharp scent of disinfectant—everything felt like a blur to Lydia.She felt as i
Lydia pursed her lips and walked directly towards the room door, only to be stopped by the two guards."Miss, you can't go in here!""I am Lambert's wife, I have the right to visit my husband!""Sorry, we only recognize Lambert's parents. Without their permission, no one can enter!"Lydia's face turned paler. She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger and worry. "Please, I'm really worried about him. I just want to take a quick look. Please."The two guards remained expressionless. Their employer was Nydia, so even if they sympathized with Lydia, they wouldn't let her in.Lydia's pleas fell on deaf ears. The guards stood there like robots, not giving Lydia any leeway.As Lydia fretted, a sharp voice filled her ears. "What are you doing here?"Lydia turned and saw Nydia standing angrily in front of her. Perhaps from taking care of Lambert in recent days, she looked somewhat haggard, her eyes bloodshot, giving her a more sinis
Moreover, she needed some rest.At eight o'clock in the evening, Lydia woke up on time. After eating something, she began to wait for Horace's arrival.Two hours later, there was a knock on the door of the ward. Lydia quickly got up to open it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Horace."Horace, you're here."Horace looked at the nervous Lydia with some amusement. "Since I promised you, of course, I'll come.""Yeah, I know. So, Horace, shall we go now?""No, we need to wait a little longer. Nydia and the others have gone back now. There's only one nurse in Lambert's ward. Let's wait a bit. You should change your clothes first!"Lydia then noticed the nurse's uniform he was holding. It turned out he wanted to dress her up as a nurse.In order to see Lambert as soon as possible, Lydia didn't care much and quickly changed her clothes. Soon, a lovely nurse appeared in front of Horace.The light green
Nydia froze, exchanging a shocked look with Odgen. "Lambert, do you... Do you not recognize me? What about your father? Do you remember him?"Lambert's gaze shifted to Odgen's face, then furrowed his brow. After a long pause, he spoke politely, "I'm sorry."Now Nydia was completely convinced that he had amnesia. After countless thoughts, she thought this might be an opportunity. She simply instructed Lambert to rest well and then pulled Odgen out of the ward.Meanwhile, Lambert in the room stared blankly at the white ceiling, feeling like he had forgotten someone very important.Coming out of the doctor's office, Nydia and Odgen stood in the hospital corridor, both looking serious.The results of the previous examinations had come out, indicating that Lambert's condition was due to a head injury from the car accident, which had damaged his memory cortex, causing him to forget them."I wonder if Lambert's memory will ever recover. What if he
Horace and Lennon shook their heads. "Uncle, you're too kind. You're Lambert's father, and Lambert is our friend. Besides, we've known each other for years.""Yeah, Uncle, just tell us what you want."Odgen stopped being polite. "I know you're all Lambert's good friends, and by now, you all know about Lambert's condition, right?"Horace nodded, knowing Lambert's condition better than anyone.Odgen sighed. "Actually, today, I have something to ask of you! I, Odgen, only have one son, and nobody wishes for his health and happiness more than me. We had a lot of unpleasantness regarding his marriage before, but no matter what, there's no bad blood between father and son. His mother and I both want him to have a happy family.""Uncle, I don't quite understand. If you care about Lambert so much, why can't you accept him being with Lydia? Besides, they already have such a smart and lovely son!""Wythe is indeed lovely, and we like him very much. Bu
"Or maybe both?" Horace's tone was mocking. "With Lambert's looks and background, few women wouldn't be tempted. I think Odelia is quite scheming!"Lennon snorted. "A fox will always show its tail. Let's just wait and see. What worries me the most now is whether Lambert has truly forgotten about Lydia and Wythe. If so, what will happen to them?"Horace fell into silence too. They really didn't know how to break the news to Lydia.Sure enough, not long after, Lydia found Horace. She had heard the news of Lambert waking up and wanted Horace's help once again.However, this time, Horace refused Lydia. "I'm sorry, Lydia, but I can't help you this time. I can't even go see Lambert myself."Lydia's eyes dimmed at his words. Horace sighed. "There's actually something else I think I should tell you in advance. Lambert... he's lost his memory!""Uncle, are you saying Dad lost his memory? Does he not remember us?" Wythe's eyes widened in disbelief!
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and, of course, our child!"Hearing the word "child," Lambert's eyes softened gradually. "Yes, take good care of yourself."Nydia was increasingly satisfied with Lambert's response.She exchanged a glance with Ogden, joy evident in her eyes.Nydia was in a great mood as she left the hospital room, that is, until she encountered Lydia."What bad luck! How could this woman be here?""Aunt, don't forget, she's here for treatment too," Odelia whispered softly beside her.Just as Nydia was about to ignore Lydia and walk away, Lydia stepped forward, blocking her path."What do you want? Don't you know better than to block someone's way?" Nydia looked at Lydia with great displeasure. This uncouth woman was truly detestable!Lydia's face was pale. She looked up at Nydia, her unflinching attitude surprising Nydia somewhat. Not long ago, this woman was weeping bitterly under her humiliation.How had she regained her confidence so quickly?"Mrs. Hals
