That day, after finishing work, Tatiana received a call from Dominic.

"Tatiana, your grandfather has collapsed."

"Come to the Central Hospital quickly."

Without hesitation, Tatiana hailed a cab and rushed to the hospital.

Stefan was lying quietly on the hospital bed.

The nearby monitors showed normal readings,

but the old man just wouldn't wake up.

Tatiana held her grandfather's thin, frail hand and gently checked his pulse.

"How did he collapse?"

Tatiana's icy gaze fixed on Dominc. She never expected her grandfather would have an incident at her father's house.

Dominic felt a wave of guilt wash over him as he faced his daughter, unable to speak.

Only Camille was brave enough to answer for him.

"The old man insisted on helping in the kitchen to wash the dishes today. I couldn't stop him, so..."

Tatiana's face was filled with disbelief.

"You let Grandpa wash the dishes?"

Camille shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, it wasn't like that—"

She had only mentioned it casually, never expect

    Camille's face flushed with anger. She never expected Dominic would speak to her like this; even he was unreliable!Dominic suddenly felt guilty, realizing he had gone too far with his words.“Alright, alright, I was just upset. You should understand that.”Camille’s eyes filled with tears.“I understand you, but who understands me?”Dominic was taken aback by her sudden tears and hurried over to comfort her, spending quite some time before she finally calmed down.——Tatiana had been visiting Stefan whenever she had some free time.This made Wilfred very happy.Every time she came over, she always ended up helping with a surgery or two, which meant a nice profit for their hospital.At the Woodhaven International Hospital, aside from a few nobles and wealthy individuals recuperating, there were also many patients with rare and difficult ailments.Reece Wilfred was an authority in Western medicine, but he knew that Traditional Chinese Medicine was equally important.Tatiana was an expe

    Jamie suddenly realized he had crossed a line and grimaced, not daring to argue further. He never expected that since partnering with Maxim, his life would become increasingly difficult.If he had known, he would have preferred to stay in U.S! Never coming back!In the living room, Vance spoke up, looking a bit embarrassed. "I’m really sorry for not handling things well back then."Tatiana gazed out at the dark night outside. "No need to apologize. You've done a lot over the years. Those things are in the past."Vance lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists. After a long hesitation, he finally spoke again, "Tatiana, not long ago, we received a whistleblower letter at our office, revealing some very serious social issues that caught the higher-ups' attention. We later found some leads…”Tatiana could sense his hesitation, so she decided to cut to the chase.“It was me who reported it. If you have any questions, just ask.”Her straightforwardness took him by surprise.“You're

    For the first time, Tatiana found herself at a loss for words. Outwardly, her relationship with Maxim was great, but seeing her grandfather's expression, she feared he might think she was neglecting his feelings.Tatiana had no doubt that if she didn’t say something soon, Stefan would pack up and head back home."It was just too late to go back, so I stayed there. Don't overthink it."It was Maxim who came to her rescue.The way he spoke made Stefan sound so convincing that he managed to win over at least a bit of trust."This won't do. You two just got married, and it's best not to sleep in separate rooms. Otherwise, when will I ever get to see my great-grandchild?"Stefam said, his voice trembling as he gently pulled Tatiana and Maxim's hands together."You two must take good care of each other."Tatiana's expression was quite awkward, but in front of her grandfather, she couldn't bring herself to say anything else.After the morning's drama had passed, she got ready and headed to

    Not long after Holis finished speaking, a group of plain clothes officers burst into the school. Most of them were subordinates of her uncle, and knowing Holis's background,they were eager to curry favor with the niece of the station chief.Without a second thought, Tatiana followed them."Ms. Tatiana!"Tara's worried voice called out from behind her."Don't worry, I'm fine," Taitana reassured her, but next to her, Holis couldn't contain her amusement."At this point, you still have the energy to comfort others? Your scandal is about to hit the news!”Tatiana seemed completely unfazed. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she walked confidently into the "special car" that had been arranged for her.By the time the school administration caught wind of the situation, Tatiana had already been taken away.Aaron slammed his hand on the table."This is outrageous!""How can we have such a student in our school?"The board members fell silent, especially Holis's father, the legendary powerfulbo

    Holis was taken aback by Vance's fierce tone, stammering, "I—I was just defending myself. She started it."Vance quickly pieced things together.He knew that Holis sometimes used his name to get away with bad behavior, but since she was still young, he usually turned a blind eye. He never expected her to directly offend Tatiana this time."Apologize to Tatiana now!"Vance pointed at Holis's nose, commanding her.With her eyes reddening and her nose tingling, tears began to spill down Holis's cheeks.Wasn't Vance her uncle? Why was he siding with an outsider?"Hurry up!"Vance urged sternly, but just then, he heard several cars screeching to a halt outside the police station. A sense of foreboding washed over him.The first to enter was Maxim, and the people outside couldn't even stop him; his intimidating presence left them paralyzed."Chief, he barged in—""Get out of the way!"Vance quickly ushered Maxim inside, just as he was about to close the door when he noticed a significant f

    He forced a few agreeable words out, but suddenly, everything he ate didn't taste as good anymore.Meanwhile, the old man was busy serving Maxim food, even encouraging Riley to give some to Tatiana."I think I'll pass. I'm feeling a bit under the weather," Tatiana said, trying to hold back her laughter as she watched Maxim struggle to eat everything on his plate.But soon, she couldn't laugh anymore.The old man was determined to see her and Maxim in the same room tonight.After sending Jamie off, Stefan refused to go to bed, insisting on staying up to work with Maxim, worried he might not return to his room.With no other choice, Tatiana shot Maxim a look for help."Grandpa, you should really go get some rest," she said, trying to steer him away from his plans."I’m heading back to my room too."Stefan's face instantly lit up with a big smile."Hey! Go on, go on!”When Maxim entered the room, he noticed an extra layer of bedding on the floor, while Tatiana was comfortably sprawled ou

    For Tatiana, this first experience of "sharing a room" with Maxim wasn't exactly pleasant, leaving her feeling quite exhausted so early in the morning.Fortunately, the following days were not as eventful as today. Grandpa seemed to have been convinced that the couple was very much in love and harmonious.Tomorrow is the weekend, and the students are excitedly discussing their plans for their free time. Tatiana finishes packing her books and teaching materials, getting ready to leave for the day.“Ms. Tatiana.”Tatiana looks up to see Tara, whom she hasn't seen in a while.“Teacher, I had to take a leave of absence recently, and I’ve been wanting to thank you in person but didn’t have the chance.”Tatiana shakes her head.“It’s no problem at all. I understand you had your reasons.”By the way, teacher, my dad is coming back soon, and we’d like to invite you to dinner. Would that be okay?”Tatiana waves her hand dismissively.“No, that’s not necessary. It’s just part of my job. You s

    Three days later—The first thing Tatiana saw when she opened her eyes was a blanket of white. After a few moments of confusion, she blinked and slowly turned her head to look around, realizing she was in a hospital.Before she could take in her surroundings, she heard the sound of a door opening. Turning toward the noise, she saw Maxim walking in.When Maxim saw Tatiana awake and looking at him, he felt a rush of excitement. He quickly approached her and asked,"You’re finally awake! How do you feel? Is there anywhere that still hurts?"Tatiana slowly shook her head, wanting to speak, but her throat was dry and raspy. Instead, she looked at Maxim, hoping he would understand that she needed water.Fortunately, Maxim got the hint. He smiled at her and hurried over to pour a glass of warm water. After helping her drink, Tatiana felt a wave of relief wash over her. "I’m fine. How long was I out?""Three days," Maxim replied, his eyes filled with an emotion she couldn't quite place.Emo

    With that thought, Riley quickly left those people behind.Tatiana, on the other hand, was unaware of Riley's situation. She stood facing the assassin in front of her, her expression icy."Miss, we hope you can leave this place. We don't want to harm you; we just need you to leave that man behind. We assure you, you can leave here safely."These people had been here for a long time, trying to persuade Tatiana to leave. Their boss had ordered that she couldn't be harmed, but they couldn't understand why this woman refused to budge. They had been standing there for what felt like ages.Realizing that convincing Tatiana was futile, the leader turned his attention to Mazim. "Maxim, are you still a man? Hiding behind a woman?”Maxim pressed his hand against his shoulder, his face pale from blood loss. He managed a weak smile and replied, "Better than being unprotected like you."Though he said that, deep down, he hoped Tatiana would leave soon. He didn't know how long they could mainta

    Crushing the herbs and applying them to the wound, then bandaging it up was all she could do for now. After tending to his injury, he looked at Tatiana and said, "You need to get out of here quickly. They’re not after you, and they won’t chase you. Find a way back and get someone to rescue me."Tatiana replied, "By then, it won’t be about saving you; it’ll just be about collecting your body."Seeing Maxim’s pale face, Tatiana insisted, "I’m not leaving. It was my idea to come here, and I won’t just abandon you.""Why are you being so foolish?" Maxim's lips curled into a slight smile. In such a dire situation, all he wanted was for Tatiana to leave.She was the girl he liked, and he wanted her to be safe, away from this suffering. But why, upon realizing she wouldn’t leave, did he feel even more touched and reluctant to let her go?"I’m not foolish. I’m with you, and we’re married—even if it’s just pretend. We’re friends, right?" Tatiana said, helping Maxim to his feet as they slowly

    The man didn’t even have time to react before he collapsed unconscious.The commotion drew attention, and all eyes turned toward Tatiana.“Run!” Tatiana shouted, grabbing Maxim’s hand and sprinting toward the nearby trees.Her shout jolted everyone awake, and the leader yelled for the others to pursue both of them.As Tatiana saw that they were about to disappear from sight, the leader at the front suddenly darkened his expression. He quickly pulled out something and fired a shot toward Maxim.Tatiana turned around just in time to witness this scene, and immediately grabbed Maxim, trying to switch places with him. But little did she know, Maxim had also spotted the bullet heading his way.The leader initially thought the bullet might miss Maxim since the woman beside him was ready to take the hit, but to his surprise, her didn’t let her take the bullet for him.“Bang—”The sound of the gunshot echoed, startling the birds perched in the trees, sending them flying off into the distance

    Moreover, John had sent someone to wait for them so early. If they hadn't arrived earlier, and had waited until later to come, things would have been even more complicated.With these thoughts in mind, Maxim felt even more determined. Once they were out of here, he would make sure to pull John down from his position as soon as possible. Someone like him didn’t deserve to be in the company.He believed that his grandfather would never allow such a person to be part of the company either.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the leaves, casting bright rays that pierced Tatiana's eyes. She blinked a few times, slowly waking up.As she looked around, her mind began to piece together the events of the previous day. At that moment, Maxim also stirred awake as Tatiana shifted away from his shoulder.He had barely slept at all last night, finally drifting off only as morning approached.Tatiana stood up and checked her phone, only to find there was still no signal. She turned to Max

    "The place ahead is Sylvia's home. Do you think they might not be looking for us and instead have gone to kill them?""No way, these assassins are all managed by someone. They only target their assignments and won't harm anyone else, so we need to protect ourselves first." Tatiana said this without a hint of hesitation, but then she realized that as a young lady, she probably shouldn't know about such things.Thinking this, Tatiana cautiously glanced at Maxim. His expression didn’t seem strange, so he likely hadn’t caught on to what she was implying. With that thought, she quietly sighed in relief; otherwise, she would have to find a way to explain everything, which would only complicate matters. She didn’t want Maxim to get dragged into this mess.With that in mind, Tatiana said, "Let’s stop talking about this and get out of here. We can’t stay for long, and we can’t be sure they won’t come back.”As she spoke, she tugged on Maxim's shirt and led him toward the exit. However, as she

    As he spoke, Maxim glanced outside at the darkening sky. They had already wasted too much time, and they couldn't afford to linger any longer. They weren't familiar with the area, and it was best to get back to their car before it was completely dark. Otherwise, they might find it impossible to return.Tatiana understood his concerns and frowned as she looked at the weather outside. "Let's go talk to the old lady about this. If all goes well, we can leave right away. We can bring Sylvia and Marianna back with us when we return the notebook. Right now, going back is too risky."Sylvia and Marianna had only gone out a few years ago. Tatiana thought that it wouldn’t be right to leave them behind while taking Grandma alone, so her initial plan was to bring all three of them back together. However, it was clear that they couldn’t take Grandma on such a journey now. At her age, it wouldn’t be good for her to travel those long distances. They decided that once they returned the book, they

    “She left when she was very young, and I don’t know much about it,” the old woman said, shaking her head as she looked at Tatiana. “But I haven’t dared to go into her room all these years, so I don’t know what’s inside. There might be something valuable in there. I have the key; you can go take a look.”Sitting on the stool, the old woman had thought it through. These two didn’t seem like bad people, and sharing this information with them wouldn’t hurt. Maybe they could even find the killer of Cordelia. After all, so many years had passed,and she had come to terms with it. The most important thing for her now was Sylvia and Marianna. So, for their sake, she decided to open the room today.Tatiana was a bit surprised. She hadn’t expected the old woman to be so accommodating, but this could indeed lead to more information. Feeling grateful, Tatiana smiled at the old woman and said, “If you don’t want to go in, you don’t have to. We won’t disturb anything inside.”The old woman stood

    The elderly woman knew she was putting them in a tough spot, but she felt she had no choice. This was her only hope after all these years. She couldn’t afford to send her children to school herself, so she had to push for this arrangement. For her kids, she was willing to take the risk.The old man's request was something Tatiana hadn't expected. She thoughthe would ask for wealth or something similar, but it was just about reading books? Was that all?Tatiana appeared somewhat dazed, which seemed to signal to the old man that she was reluctant to give up this opportunity. So she quickly added, "You don't have to feel hesitant. Just take her out. All you need to do is cover some necessary expenses, and consider it a loan. Once they have the ability to earn money, they will definitely come back to repay you. I promise."This time, even though Tatiana hadn't fully processed the situation, Maxim had. He looked at the old man and calmly said,"No need.""What?" The old woman was momentar
