Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 356
Heather exhaled lightly while caressing Jason's hand very gently. "Jay, you're going to lose all your muscles if you don't wake up anytime soon."She placed his hand against her own cheek. "Jay, you responded to me today, didn't you? Since you already responded, you should wake up as soon as possible."Heather's voice was very soft. "I'm not a good mother, but Lili and Xavier need a proper father. They're waiting for you to wake up."Heather always knew very well that she was a cold-hearted person. She had invested all her feelings in Jason. If her research for holography was successful, she was determined to trigger Jason into waking up. If the research failed, she would accompany Jason forever while he remained in a coma. Liesel and Xavier were the last of Jason's bloodline. Did Heather care about Liesel and Xavier? Of course, she did, but her feelings for them were just a drop in the ocean compared to how she felt for Jason.That was why Heather said Liesel and Xavier need

Based on Xavier's personality, Liesel assumed he would leave after the college exam. He would move out to his own villa once grown up. "Of course, I'll be there. Seeing how outstanding you are, the headmaster would probably ask you to go onstage and give a speech. I'll be watching you carefully." Liesel's voice sounded playful.Xavier seemed unsure how to continue the conversation with Liesel. He hummed in response before ending the call.Elijah was seated on the couch in the ward while going through his documents. He adjusted his glasses. "Was that a call from Xavier?"Liesel nodded. "He invited me to attend his graduation ceremony."Things had been far too busy lately, and Liesel often found herself in hot water. Hence, she felt much better after receiving a call from Xavier. "Do you think I should prepare a gift for him? What should I give to him? A pen?" Before Liesel could finish speaking, Elijah massaged his temples before speaking in a teasing tone."Babe, have you forg

Once it was time, Liesel and Elijah went to pick up Xavier at the villa. Xavier was startled for a moment after noticing Liesel's delicate makeup before looking away uncomfortably. He asked, "Why didn't you sit in the wheelchair? Don't be so stubborn if you haven't fully recovered.""I'm almost fully recovered." Liesel had just started explaining when Xavier turned to look at Elijah. "Where's her wheelchair?"Elijah deliberately chuckled at that moment, seeming amused at the sight of Xavier taking care of Liesel. Elijah merely shrugged and acted innocent after Liesel cast him a fierce glare. It went without saying that Elijah had told Xavier. Since he couldn't convince Liesel, he had secretly contacted Xavier. He had an idea that Liesel would not object to Xavier.Men were such scoundrels. Elijah leisurely paced back and forth beside Liesel at that moment and sighed. "Oh, someone's only willing to listen to Xavier and not me."Liesel stepped on Elijah's foot hard in revenge,

Helena had very high hopes for Xavier. Her words "I encourage you to take your future into your own hands and forge your path to greatness" had fully captured the hopes she had for him. Helena hoped that Xavier would become Alden University's top student.Xavier looked up at Helena. Although she was getting older, she still remained alert. She always had been gentle and elegant. He often received help from her while living with the Scotts for many years. In fact, Helena also proposed for the highest scorer to receive a scholarship so Xavier could receive the funds.After learning what happened to the Scotts, Helena changed the scholarship to fully exempt Xavier from paying the school fees. She also supplied free lunches and textbooks because she couldn't bear to see Xavier's talents go to waste. Xavier glanced at Helena with a determined expression before bowing. Helena smiled in relief. "Go ahead. Lead the other students and take the oath together to welcome the upcoming col

"Xavier's very happy. You don't have to feel so guilty about certain things." Elijah told Liesel, who looked downward a little with a faint smile on her lips. "Just because he's happy now doesn't mean he wasn't hurt before. I can only do my best to make it up to him.""Sometimes, you can focus more on yourself instead." Elijah reached out to pat Liesel gently on her head. He drew his hand back with a secret chuckle after Liesel glared at him.It was the night of Ashthorne First High School's prom night. Some female students were already secretly casting glances at Xavier. There were even students who began shoving a pretty girl to Xavier's side. Anna McCarthy had round cheeks and delicate features, and she looked gorgeous. At that moment, her face was completely flushed, yet she was still casting furtive glances at Xavier with pursed lips. "Xavier, will you dance with me?" Xavier put a hand in his pocket and looked into the distance with slightly pursed lips. "I'm really sorr

Liesel had always known that pregnancy, miscarriage, or childbirth could cause significant damage to a woman's body, but she only truly understood it after experiencing it herself.She felt weak and dizzy. She was occasionally seeing spots and dry-heaving. Her legs were unsteady, and her entire body felt like it was walking on cotton.But this was Xavier's graduation prom night, and she wanted to dance with him.She wanted to tell him that she was there for him and he wasn't alone."Come on. Dance with me," she said with a smile.Xavier paused for a moment before taking her hand again and pulling her into an embrace. He could clearly smell the faint scent of herbs on her. She'd been drinking medicine lately.She had really been through a lot.As they danced, Xavier looked down to meet Liesel's eyes, which were always gentle and smiling whenever she looked at him.Sometimes, Xavier thought that the way Liesel looked at him didn't seem like the gaze of an older sister at her youn

Xavier continued, "Now I get it. You didn't refuse to let me grow up with you. You chose a path for me that would let me survive. You wanted me to have an easier, carefree life. And when I got hurt, you were right there in danger too."Even now, with all that you've achieved, they still insult you because of your gender. It seems like the only way for you to avoid their malice is to climb higher, to stand at the top and look down on everyone."You wanted me to escape this life, but you're trapped in the nightmare forever. I've figured it out now."Xavier held Liesel's cold fingers and awkwardly mimicked Elijah's usual gesture to warm them up. "Can we forgive each other?"He would forgive her for years of neglect and disregard, and she would forgive him for hurting her.She was his sister, and he was her little brother. They were a family.Although Xavier only said to forgive each other, Liesel could almost read his true feelings in the depths of his eyes.Her throat tightened, a

Xavier sat still. The warm breeze swept through his hair, which revealed his handsome face. He didn't unbuckle his seatbelt or get out of the car. Instead, his gaze was fixed on Elijah's face."I can't leave in this situation," Xavier said calmly. "You can take me with you."Elijah's face remained serious as he ignored Xavier's objection and unbuckled his seatbelt. "Don't be stubborn. Lili will be heartbroken if something happens to you."He chose the word "heartbroken" instead of "guilty."Xavier's gaze turned sharp and intense. "Wouldn't you be heartbroken if something happened to Liesel? I'm her brother, and you're her lover."Who was more important—her brother or her lover? No one would have an answer to that.Xavier and Liesel were clearly siblings. Their temperaments were so similar. If it were Liesel in this situation, would she act differently? No. She wouldn't abandon Elijah to go off on her own either."Listen to me, Xavier."Elijah cracked his knuckles and said serio

"Hey, who cares if she's capable? All I know is that she's a great beauty.""Indeed. I don't know if I'll ever have a chance with her in the future…"The foreigners gathered together began to chuckle deviously. Their lustful laughter and malicious chuckles kept drifting over, gradually affecting Thomas' judgment.How dare these foreigners humiliate Liesel? Thomas strode over with a terrifying expression.Liesel appeared in front of the group of foreigners before Thomas could reach them and asked in fluent Eldovian, "Can all of these be assembled by tonight?"The foreigners quickly stopped smiling deviously and responded in broken Eldovian that it wouldn't be a problem."I'm paying double for overtime and installation fees. I hope your efforts will match the amount paid," Liesel said bluntly.Of course, she knew what those foreigners said. However, she merely looked at them blankly, barely concealing the disdain in her gaze. The foreigners were clearly provoked. They reached fo

Was Liesel truly unable to understand the information? She was merely too lazy to browse through the document.It was best for someone like Howard to have his arrogance deflated. Being too nice to him would merely make him take advantage of the situation. Liesel was an investor. Why should she waste time reading reports? Howard should be explaining everything to her clearly. "I can't understand anything," Liesel repeated with an evident smile. Howard massaged his temples and exhaled lightly. After a long time, he said, "I'll ask someone to prepare another proposal and email it to you."He knew Liesel was forcing him to give in, and he had done so as well.Liesel cocked her head slightly. Her eyes gleamed as she looked at Howard. She was obviously satisfied with Howard's answer. That was how an employee should act.Howard could be proud of what he had, but soaring too high might hurt others. That was a lesson Liesel wanted to teach him. "Be good and listen to me, Mr. Durha

Howard put on his gold-rimmed glasses and stared at Liesel. "You'll have unlimited funding and support. Your dreams will even come true. I'll do all I can to support you and make this self-driving car happen so it can fly in the sky and glide across the ocean." Liesel pointed at the luxurious sports car on the screen. "How do you know it's my dream?" Howard asked with a smirk."I fell in love with the car when I saw it for the first time. I'm sure it'll become everyone's dream car." Liesel chuckled. Howard looked down and let out a cryptic laugh. "Ms. Sharp, did you know that people's dreams may change?""Oh? Has your dream changed, Mr. Durham? That's okay. Tell me all about it, and I might even help you achieve your new dream." Liesel raised an eyebrow. She seemed rather interested, and her expression was filled with pride. Howard reached for another remote and pressed a button. The surrounding glass walls suddenly turned black, preventing anyone from looking inside. The whi

Howard felt his presentation would help Liesel realize how valuable he was. "I'm not satisfied." Liesel shook her head. Howard was rendered speechless. That was the second time his ego took a hit."Mr. Durham, I suggest you don't look too far ahead. Whether cars can fly, that's for the future. First, we should develop a medicine that can cure cancer. "As for cars, we should solve battery life problems first, am I right? Yet you're developing flying cars before even solving our current problems. Your idea is too far-fetched.""Didn't you agree that you wouldn't interfere with my research?" Howard finally found his voice again."I'm just giving you a general direction. You'll still be in charge of the actual research, Mr. Durham," Liesel lied calmly. A general direction? She clearly planned everything for him in advance, and all he had to do was follow her plan. He wasn't even given a choice."Once the problem is solved, you can secure your position as CEO at Hardin Group. Am

Thomas hurriedly nodded, and his ears had turned red. Liesel considered everything for him. She really was amazing, and that made him like her even more. There was a fork ahead of them. Thomas, who had been secretly joyful, froze instantly. As Liesel stopped, she suddenly felt like she had meddled too much. Some liked to work hard and achieve success, while others preferred to go with the flow. Everyone had their own ways of living. Liesel was being ridiculous by planning Thomas' life with her own ideas."Sorry, I always like making plans. All I can think of is getting promotions and higher pay." Liesel massaged her temples as she smiled helplessly. "You can do whatever you want. I'm just giving you a suggestion.""I know. Thank you, Ms. Sharp." Thomas gripped the cart handles tightly. Liesel's suggestion was fantastic, but Thomas couldn't see her if he went to work in the workshop. He might as well continue working as a laborer.There were two different routes ahead, and th

All of Thomas' messy thoughts faded away. Instead, his heartbeat began racing like mad. The elevator space was so narrow. He couldn't help but touch his chest, fearing that Liesel could hear his pounding heartbeat."Got it, Ms. Sharp. I'll work hard," Thomas replied earnestly. He was willing to do anything for Liesel.Liesel scrutinized Thomas for a moment before smiling in relief. She knew how it felt to be stuck in a tough situation. She always couldn't help but give a chance to those struggling and lend them a hand."I asked you to learn a few things about logistics because I want you to know that you should always advance in your career. Never give up if there's something you're better at."The freight elevator doors slid open, and Liesel wheeled the cart inside the elevator. Thomas hurriedly trailed after her while paying attention to her words.If Cameron knew how obedient Thomas was out there, he would definitely cry tears of relief. "Save up some money first and settle
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 532
Liesel's frown faded away, and she looked at Thomas gently. "Before leaving the research department that day, I noticed that the logistics department was hiring. It doesn't matter what I do as long as it's a job. That's why I went for the interview," Thomas explained.Thomas couldn't tell Liesel that his father, Cameron Keller, had arranged for that job as a punishment for him. As long as Thomas could see Liesel daily, he was willing to take on any job. It didn't matter, even if he had to work as a laborer, food delivery driver, or security guard.Thomas, whose heart was beating like mad, remarked awkwardly. "My job at the logistics department is quite lucrative. I get about three thousand dollars a month."Thomas vowed to give up his salary every month to Liesel in the future. As he looked up, his sly gaze had turned innocent. The corners of her lips lifted, and Liesel couldn't help but chuckle. She always remained alert whenever she worked with those old codgers at Hardin Grou

It was hard to describe Liesel's radiant beauty, making it hard for anyone to resist her. Men and women alike stole a few more glances whenever they walked past her. Thomas Keller abruptly came to his senses and asked his companion to push the cart. "You can take this."His companion noticed Thomas' flushed face and understood instantly. He began teasing Thomas. "What? Not brave enough to walk past her? If you won't do it, I will."Thomas patted his sweaty palms against his blue uniform before adjusting the brim of his cap. He fixed his gaze in Liesel's direction.He stood rooted to the same spot and dared not to move. He was afraid that he might startle Liesel, who wasn't far away.Thomas' two companions teased him a while longer before wheeling the large boxes away. Initially, the two men were having a jolly time together, chatting and laughing. Yet they lowered their heads and stopped talking. They walked past Liesel in silence. Liesel took a few steps back. She stared at a

When it came to writing reports, data analysis, and sorting documents, Austin completed all of it on his own. He was quick and delivered good work. Even with a workload that other employees couldn't even finish working overtime, he was always able to submit on time.As if to build relationships, he would always work overtime every day and help others with work.After half a month, he'd already blended in with everyone else. Everyone greeted him with a warm smile when they saw him, and they never ran out of praise for him.This made Liesel think back to her school days when she had been equally as stupid.In high school, she had done the same thing. She would always help people with the work that they couldn't finish, thinking that it was the best way to grow closer to others and become one of them.However, she was wrong.No matter how much labor an old ox did, it would never integrate into human society.Also, at the time, she had gone to a high school for the wealthy, while
