And yet, this afternoon, Wilson was clearly with me and Dominic...Well, he must have found a substitute. It's confirmed.Suppressing her excitement, Kathy felt that letting Wilson perform might be a good way to put this matter behind them like turning a page."Okay."After bowing to the audience, Kathy stepped down from the stage and, as she descended the last step in her high heels, she saw a beautiful, fair, and slender hand."Dominic, let's go back and listen to Wilson's concert."Looking at Kathy like this, Dominic felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.Her eyes were filled with sadness, and he knew nothing about it.For the first time, Dominic felt that he was not being a good enough boyfriend.If he had to wait for her to tell him everything, he couldn't imagine how much more pain Kathy would have to endure.Thinking about how today's events could have been avoided, Dominic's mind was in chaos."What are you thinking about?" Kathy could sense that something was wrong with the
"Okay, how do you want to perform?"Carissa and Maricela were both a little surprised. They agreed just like that?Dominic still had a worried look in his eyes. A motor neuron disorder wasn't something that could be easily recovered from.Now he finally understood why Kathy took so long to cook every time. Controlling the direction and strength of her knife must also be a very difficult thing!"Don't worry," Kathy leaned against Dominic's chest and said softly to him.Carissa's eyes seemed to be able to shoot fire, staring tightly at Kathy."Kathy! You're so kind! How about I dance and you accompany me! Any instrument and music is fine, I don't mind!"When the people around heard this, they realized that this little daughter of the Westford family was really not simple! Improvised dancing with any instrument and music. This was simply picking at random from the vast library of Chinese and Western music! How amazing must her dancing skills be!"Estela, why haven't I heard that you can
"Doctor!" Dominic carried Kathy and followed the signs to the emergency room.Helpless, Dominic sat in the corridor, watching the doctor push Kathy into the operating room. He looked dejected.Wilson sat far away from Dominic, also staring at the transparent glass door that symbolizes danger. His heart was filled with indescribable emotions."Do you like Kathy?" The empty corridor echoed Dominic's words.Wilson's heart tightened. He looked up and stared into Dominic's eyes. Scenes of the girl's smiles and frowns, as well as the moments they had met, flashed through his mind."I do," he said. Wilson was never good at lying, so he chose to be honest."I won't take Kathy away from you," Dominic said with concern, praying that Kathy would be safe."I understand. I don't intend to fight for her. I know that Kathy likes you," Wilson said.Dominic was surprised. "You two know each other?""We don't. It's just my one-sided love. You don't have to worry. She doesn't know that I am someone el
"Of course, it sounds good...""Miss Kathy, you had this disease before?" The doctor asked in surprise."Yes, three years ago I had a car accident and my motor nerves were damaged. For a long time, I couldn't live a normal life. Later, I tried to recover at home little by little until yesterday when I found out that I had already recovered a long time ago."The doctor looked pleased and congratulated Kathy and Dominic."Miss Kathy is really lucky to have survived such a great ordeal. I believe that within half a month, she will recover to normal.”"What?!"After seeing the doctor's confident expression, Kathy and Dominic looked at each other with excitement."That's right! Miss Kathy's previous self-healing was due to a mutation in her immune system, which produced an acetylcholinesterase antagonist. This disease is not difficult to treat, but the difficulty lies in what kind of antagonist we use for treatment.""A slight mistake could immediately result in fatal poisoning. Since Miss
"No need, the air conditioning in the room is too strong. I was feeling hot just now," said Kathy, shrugging her shoulders. She couldn't see what was happening in front of her, so she didn't understand why Dominic suddenly blushed and acted like a little girl."So, do you have anything to say?" Dominic asked calmly, holding Kathy."What do you mean?" Kathy was surprised. She hadn't expected this."About Wilson liking you.""Did he tell you that himself?""Yes, he was very worried when you collapsed."Dominic felt uncomfortable. His own younger brother and he liked the same girl."Do I need to do anything? Should I give him a 'good person card' and tell him that liking me is hopeless and that his true love is in the distant future?"Kathy's series of questions left Dominic speechless."Don't worry, I'm not interested in your brother. Besides, how can you be sure that he's telling the truth?"Looking at Kathy's honest eyes, Dominic felt that his behavior was despicable. He wanted to tes
Someone hung up the phone."Kathy, Abigail is calling you. Do you want me to answer the phone for you?"While Dominic was out dealing with things, Estela came to Kathy's hospital room.She looked like a proud rooster, with a smirk on her face, looking down on Kathy.Kathy now was very different from what Estela had imagined. Shouldn't she be crying in despair? Losing hope for the future?What difference did it make to be saved? How big of a wave could a paralyzed person make?"What do you want? It's all because of you. Are you happy? But why do you look so haggard?" Kathy turned her eyes to the other side as if ignoring her.Estela's eyes and brows were slightly tired. Since she caused Kathy's accident, her phone had been ringing a terrifying ringtone every night at regular intervals. Even if she turned it off, the sound would still turn on and ring. This had tortured Estela for several days, and she was almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Even if she hid her phone and put it
Kathy and Dominic exchanged a glance and kept their little secret between them."Have you guys asked for leave from work?" Dominic suddenly spoke up, looking displeased at the group of people who had skipped work to visit Kathy.The ward fell into a strange silence, and Bridgette and the others suddenly slapped their foreheads."Oh no! I just remembered that the report for today hasn't been completed yet! I have to go!"In a flash, the ward was empty again. "Hey? Why did they come and go so suddenly?" Kathy looked at the backs of the people who seemed to be "fleeing" in confusion and asked strangely.Dominic shook his head. "It's good that they're gone. You can rest quietly now.""Rest? I'm not resting! If I lie down again, I'll be covered in calluses all over my body!" Kathy looked at Dominic discontentedly.Dominic patted Kathy's hair like stroking a cat and gently advised her, "Be good, Kathy, listen to me, take good care of yourself, and don't worry about anything else."Kathy tu
Three days later, Kathy returned to work at Hcorp. With a whole month left until the Chinese New Year, the entire company was busy with year-end work."Kathy! You're finally back! We missed you so much!" Abigail rushed towards Kathy in the elevator, not even caring that Dominic was still standing next to her."Abigail, don't jump around, we're in the elevator!" Kathy was afraid that something might go wrong with the elevator, so she quickly pulled Abigail down from her neck."k…Kathy, you don't know how worried we were when you were in the hospital."Kathy was moved to see Abigail's nose turning red. In her past life, it was this group of friends who had taken care of her funeral.Even now, she could still see Abigail's heart-wrenching tears in her midnight dreams.Kathy felt very lucky to have met this group of kind and lovely people."Shall we go to the bar tonight? My treat," Dominic suddenly spoke up, addressing the Strategy team in the elevator."Oh my god! Did I hear that right?
"I have no idea. Oh, by the way, I saw you at the Spring Festival Gala earlier," Kathy said, trying to please him. Dominic's face turned as dark as ink on the side."I've been to the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years," he said."I know!" Wilson's heart skipped a beat, his tone filled with excitement and joy that he tried to hide.Knowing that it was impossible between him and Kathy, and knowing that she had no interest in him, Wilson's heart still couldn't help but be stirred by her words."Didn't you mention it in your interview today?" Kathy asked."You watched my interview too?" Wilson couldn't help but laugh."They didn't change the channel all day," Dominic's cold voice came from beside Kathy, and then a handsome face that looked a lot like Wilson's was pressed against Kathy's cheek.This scene made Wilson's heart ache.Wilson forced a smile. "Brother, why are there so many people downstairs? What are they doing? The snow is so dirty, and they're just throwing it
"Auntie, don't worry, he won't dare to sue you." After making the phone call, Dominic walked into the living room, washed his hands in the kitchen, and then sat down at the table, picking up a piece of dough that had already been rolled out into a dumpling skin."Are you not going to wrap them?" Dominic noticed that he was the only one in the family with a relaxed expression, and curiously looked at the Thompson family's parents and Kathy.Kathy saw Dominic's relaxed expression and knew that he must have resolved the issue. "Will it cause any trouble for Wilson?""Are you worried about him?" Dominic instantly regretted calling Wilson.He thought that he could reassure the Thompson family's parents and make Kathy feel at ease, but this girl was worried about whether it would cause trouble for Wilson."No." Although Dominic repeatedly assured them that Wilson would not sue the Thompson family's parents over such a minor matter, Esme and Thompson's brows remained furrowed all night.Th
"Hey, I know, I know, we can't just blurt it out like this. What if we attract some paparazzi?" Naomi was about to leave when she caught sight of the big TV hanging on the wall of the Thompson family living room. She immediately pointed at the TV and exclaimed, "Isn't that him! The big star!"Now, everyone in the room looked at the TV, their eyes filled with curiosity.CL TV was playing an interview video of Wilson."This is already the third time that Wilson has been invited by the Spring Festival Gala program group. Do you have anything to say to the audience friends in front of the TV?"Wilson smiled gracefully, suppressing the kind of unruly air he had when he was with Kathy and others in private. "I hope this year's Wilson won't disappoint the audience friends and the Spring Festival Gala program group who invited me. I will work hard."As he spoke, Wilson even bowed to the camera, showing his politeness. His whole body exuded the aura of a noble young master, making people feel
Kathy didn't expect this, "You, you've been sleeping for so many days, how did you suddenly...""To be honest, I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. When you were sleeping, you really liked to move around..." Dominic hadn't finished speaking when Kathy felt her legs go numb and she unconsciously moved them.The quietness in the air was the most frightening.Kathy's mind went blank.It seemed like she accidentally touched something hard— His manhood! "What are you moving for!" Dominic tightly controlled Kathy's struggling wrist, "Don't move, I'll go take a cold shower."Kathy, embarrassed, timidly looked at Dominic and nodded, "Okay, you can go."Dominic was choked by her words and couldn't catch his breath for a while, but eventually he bent down.Kathy quickly turned her head, revealing her long and white neck."Ah!" Kathy exclaimed, her eyes misty and watery, pitifully looking at Dominic, "Why did you bite me! It hurts!"Hearing the words that made him want to indulg
Kathy couldn't understand why Dominic was laughing so brightly at such a dangerous moment when they almost hit a dog. "Kathy, why do you look so pale?" Dominic turned his head and saw Kathy's worried face, as if she had just survived a disaster. Did what he said just now make her uncomfortable? Dominic was anxious and didn't know what was going on. "Kathy, if you mind, I won't say such things next time. Let's wait until we get married..." Dominic said. "Didn't you see the dog on the side of the road just now?" Kathy turned her head and looked at Dominic with an unkind expression. "I avoided it, didn't I?" Dominic felt wronged. Wasn't Kathy worried about the dog just now? "But why did you laugh so loudly after avoiding it? What if you hit it?" Kathy gave Dominic a white eye and turned her head to look out the window, giving Dominic a big slap on the back of his head. For no reason, Dominic smiled again with his mouth open. "Kathy, I'm really happy!" Kathy really didn't know what w
Dominic felt that at this moment, Kathy was emitting an indescribable radiance. A long time ago, he fell in love with Kathy. Now, he was having difficulty breathing, and Kathy had become the only tenderness and light he longed for in this world.Thompson and Esme never doubted their daughter's abilities. Since childhood, Kathy has always been the most outstanding one. No matter how difficult things were, as long as Kathy said she could do it, even if it meant risking her life, she would do it. Yes, although their family was not outstanding, they had such an outstanding daughter! As long as their daughter was excellent enough to not fear any challenges, then being in a relationship with Dominic didn't seem like such a difficult thing to accept.Although Thompson and Esme still had worries on their faces, their masks were no longer as indestructible as before. "Kathy, won't this be too hard for you?" Esme felt sorry for her daughter.Extraordinary Kathy was born into such an ordinary
"Mom, Dad, this is one of his business bank accounts, and it's also his account with the least amount of money." Thompson and Esme looked at it and were scared by the long string of numbers. Thompson took the phone from his daughter's hand in disbelief, stared at the string of numbers with wide eyes, and muttered to himself. "Have you counted it? How many digits is it?" "It seems to be nine digits..." "What do you mean 'seems to be'? How many digits exactly?" "Ten digits." Esme almost stumbled and couldn't stand firm. Thompson held her up and said, "Don't worry, my dear." "Oh my god, ten digits, tens of billions..." This is not even how it's portrayed in TV dramas. In an instant, Thompson and Esme panicked. Esme sighed and said to Kathy, "My dear, you must not be with him just for his money! The most important thing in a relationship is to live a good life together!" "Dominic, you've seen our family's situation. We are just ordinary working-class people, but
"Ah! Bus route 3! Quick!" Thompson turned his gaze away from the double doors of the restroom and saw the bus approaching in the distance. He quickly bumped Dominic's arm with his shoulder and they ran towards the bus station with their bags.Dominic, who had never experienced this before, didn't know what to do.Seeing Dominic still in a daze, Kathy switched all her bags to her right hand, grabbed Dominic's arm, and ran forward. "What are you thinking? Did Dalein give you a brainwashing attack!"Even if Dominic didn't know why The Thompson family was desperately running forward, he understood that all he could do now was to hurry up.After rushing, with the help of a kind driver, the Thompson family finally squeezed onto the bus.Dominic looked at the empty seats on the bus, his Adam's apple moved, he swallowed hard, and regained his senses.It seemed that he had just done something he had never done before. It felt quite novel.Kathy pulled Dominic to sit in the double seat at the
The family overcame many obstacles and finally arrived at the place where Thompson often bought clothes. The shop owner saw Thompson and immediately waved, "You're here again today?" "Yes, I'm here to buy some clothes for my son-in-law for the New Year! See if you have anything that fits him well, price is not a problem!" The shop owner was happy to hear this. In the past, Thompson always bargained hard and the shop owner didn't make much profit from selling him clothes. But today, Thompson couldn't lose face in front of his son-in-law, so he wouldn't bargain, which meant the shop owner could make a lot of money. When the shop owner saw Dominic, his eyes lit up. "Is your son-in-law a model? He's so handsome!" Thompson was quite proud when he heard this. "He's not a model, he's a CEO!" Esme couldn't help but poke Thompson twice and whispered, "Don't show off your wealth. Do you still want to bargain?"Thompson immediately realized his mistake and chuckled, "I was just kidding, he
