"I won't go. Because... I've promised your parents and you, Thomas, that I will take care of you until you recover." She finished writing and stood up, pushing the wheelchair back towards the hospital room. She wouldn't leave because she was someone who kept her promises, not because of him.o0oThe doctor carefully examined Tom Hulce's eyes inside the hospital room while everyone else stood by, hoping to hear good news. The doctor said that the injury to his leg wasn't severe, but his eyes were difficult to treat."Mr Hulce is recovering quite well but must undergo surgery to recover fully. Although the chances of success are low, I hope everyone agrees to try it. After all, having a glimmer of hope is better than having none.""...""Do you agree... to let me operate on you? If you don't want to, I will use my own eyes to exchange for your voice, even though I am blind now." After a long silence, Tom Hulce suddenly turned to Demi Moore and asked a question that stunned everyone. Tho
"Demi, I told you this place is for me to work. How could you take it away from me?" The man angrily exclaimed, clutching the documents tightly to his chest, afraid someone would snatch them away."Demi, why are you eating so little? If you continue like this, I will become a pig, and you will become a bean sprout." The man lightly pinched her cheek and then his face before sharing half of his meal with her.'Ace...' Her lips moved gently, and the pen in her hand suddenly fell to the ground. She bowed her head, hastily picking up the pen to continue writing. Her computer was broken and couldn't be repaired, so she had to write all the documents by hand, significantly slowing her down. But honestly, she liked it that way. Being busy left her with less time for idle thoughts. It kept her from reminiscing and feeling pain.o0oIn the Senoxrita Castle, Nancy wore a Chanel outfit, with her fingers adorned with two giant diamond rings. Arthur was always generous with her; he would give her
Changing into a neat outfit, Tom Hulce felt more at ease stepping out, his gaze towards Thomas Anderson filled with a hint of complexity."So, you went looking for Demi, and she kicked you out?" Thomas Anderson stared directly at Tom Hulce, unable to comprehend how he could remain so composed."Yeah," Tom Hulce admitted nonchalantly. After all, he had already seen that demeanour, so knowing this wouldn't change anything."Tom, I don't know how to advise you properly, so I've always stayed silent. But this time, I truly hope you can resolve things fairly. You hurt her once, don't let it happen again." He sighed, stood up, and patted Tom Hulce's shoulder."I have things to attend to, so I'll go ahead. And you can start working at the company now." He lowered his head, looking at Tom Hulce's fully recovered legs, deciding not to bring up that matter.Tom would naturally find out after a few months as Demi's unborn child grew. His only concern was if he knew, would he be able to admit it?
"Demi, what do you need?" Tom Hulce smiled at her, feeling highly touched inside. It was the first time she actively asked him to stay.Demi Moore held his hand and slowly wrote, "The loss of the child is not your fault; I am also to blame. If we had been more careful back then, perhaps we could still have...""...""Go to sleep; I'll step outside for a while." Tom Hulce carefully tucked her hand under the blanket, then turned and walked out. Demi Moore watched his lonely figure and suddenly felt regret in her heart.Closing the hospital room door, Tom Hulce leaned against the cold wall, his hand clenched tightly. It still seemed to carry a hint of her warmth. Demi was the only light in his life, and would do everything to protect her; regardless of whose child it was, he would love it dearly. He had once lost her and didn't want to lose her again.No man could easily forgive the person they loved for carrying someone else's child in their womb, but he no longer had a choice. That chi
"Who on earth could create such a story?" Tom Hulce leaned back in his seat, his shoulders aching and barely tolerable. If this were indeed the work of a single person, then that person would be the most formidable opponent he had ever encountered.Meanwhile, Thomas Anderson seemed to ponder something, lost in thought for half a day. He finally let go of the documents in his hand and spoke carefully. "In this world, not many can manipulate the stock market at will. I hope it's not him."Tom Hulce raised an eyebrow. "You mean, 'him'?""That's right," Thomas Anderson nodded heavily. "We all know 'he' is untouchable, the owner of Hoai Thuy Castle in the United Kingdom, known by everyone as 'Dark Emperor Arthur Hoai Thuy.' Someone who can control the entire stock market at will but rarely engages in such activities. I also don't believe they would target someone of that stature."They had never met each other, so hopefully, this time was just an unusual event unrelated to that person. Bec
But she didn't pay any attention to it; a girl was walking rapidly towards this direction, continuously tapping her phone, utterly oblivious to anyone on the road.It wasn't until she collided with Demi Moore that the mobile phone made a loud "thud" as it fell to the ground, splitting into two pieces, and she finally looked up."Don't you have eyes? How can you suddenly stand in the middle of the road like this?" A sharp voice echoed, so high-pitched that it made Demi Moore's ears hurt a little.Demi Moore was pushed back step by step, frightened, using both hands to protect her abdomen. The previous accident had haunted her for a long time, and now every step she took had to be cautious, but just because she didn't collide with others didn't mean that others wouldn't.The girl bowed her head to pick up the mobile phone, furrowing her brows in annoyance. The phone she had just bought had already shattered into two pieces."There are only a few like this in the world. Can you compensat
The youngest person had yellow hair, a face with a faint smile, and a cold gaze. He had met him somewhere before. Could it be... The black-haired man appeared more gentle, but he was certainly not ordinary.Standing between them was a tall man wearing sunglasses that obscured his face. But from his arrogant demeanour, it was easy to guess who was in charge."Hello, everyone. I am the manager of Hulce Corporation, Thomas Anderson. It's an honour to meet you all." Thomas Anderson smiled and reached out his hand, but only Fred responded casually, while Youdu played with a knife boredly, as if threatening him.As for Tom Hulce and Arthur, the two tall men were now locking eyes with hostility.Tom Hulce squinted slightly; this man made him feel familiar as if they had met somewhere before.Arthur also looked back with coldness. For the first time, he encountered someone he instantly disliked. Perhaps they were natural enemies."I am Tom Hulce; pleased to meet you, sir," Tom Hulce extended
"Miss Rihart is really beautiful. Mr. Arthur is truly fortunate to have a girlfriend like her," Tom Hulce exclaimed, his heart filled with envy. In his eyes, no one could compare to Demi Moore."Thank you," Nancy sweetly leaned against Arthur, oblivious to the mocking smile on Tom Hulce's lips."I heard that Mr. Arthur had been to Mexico for three months. I had no idea he was so interested in that place!" Tom Hulce casually asked, putting his hands in his pockets."I don't think I'm obliged to answer your question," Arthur declined directly. "I'll go ahead." He then quickly pulled Nancy's hand into the car.Tom Hulce approached Youdu, his eyes smiling inquisitively."What do you want to ask me?" Youdu looked up. "If it's about that girl, rest assured, we didn't create this situation because of her.""I'm not curious about that," Tom Hulce nonchalantly replied."Then what is it? Let me tell you in advance; you won't get any information from me!" Youdu pulled out a knife, warning coldly
