Tyler's expression was solemn. “I will get in touch with the best foreign experts and have them operate on her.”

Cleo eyed him gravely. “What if the operation fails? What are you going to do?”

Tyler pursed his lips tightly and became silent. A troubled, sophisticated look surfaced in his eyes.

“I will cover all the medical expenses she needs for the rest of her life,” he finally answered after a prolonged silence.

Kelsey felt her heart drop.

Her husband just stated that he was going to take care of another woman for life.

Needless to say, she was upset by this.

Still…

She could not deny that the reason Zara ended up in this state was because she tried to protect Tyler.

If the operation failed and she ended up being paralyzed for life, Tyler was going to be held accountable one way or another.

Besides, he could simply hire someone to take care of Zara. There was no need for him to ever shoulder the burden of caring for Zara in person.

This was how Kelsey rationalized it to he

    Kelsey frowned tightly.She felt depressed.Then, she stepped into the elevator with Yvonne as she kept their heads down.“Yvonne, come downstairs with me for a walk.”Kelsey suddenly did not feel like going back to the ward.She did not expect Zara to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life after taking the bullet for Tyler.She was sure that if Zara knew this would be the consequence, she would not have done that at all.Kelsey much rather that she had done that for Tyler instead.At least it would be better than where they ended up now, with the Quests having something to hold over Tyler’s head.Yvonne nodded and proceeded to click the button to the first floor.She tried to offer some comfort. “Let’s go to the garden downstairs for a walk. Don't overthink it and just trust Tyler. He knows how to handle it.”Shortly after that, the elevator stopped on the first floor. They stepped outside and went to the garden that joined the different wings of the hospital.“Adam?

    “Dear, I’m so tired of standing. The doctor says I should sit down as often as I can when I am pregnant!”The woman next to Adam suddenly snuggled into his arms and flirted with him blatantly.Yvonne's eyes grew wide open upon hearing that.It was as if she had been struck by lightning.“You are…”“I’m pregnant with Adam's child. You should get divorced from him.”The woman next to Adam taunted Yvonne arrogantly.Yvonne could feel her head turning blank.It was as if she had been tossed into an ice-cold bath. The sensation was overwhelming.She could not accept what was happening. She had a hard time controlling herself anymore at this point.She staggered two steps back in shock and nearly lost her balance.“Yvonne…”Kelsey held her steady, then she glared at the woman next to Adam and told her off, “You crossed a line!”They were a pair of cheaters!She was a home wrecker who had stolen Yvonne’s husband and even got knocked up by him. How dare she have the audacity to i

    “Yvonne…”Kelsey and Yvonne had originally come to the garden of the hospital because Kelsey wanted to wind down.Now that they had accidentally chanced into Yvonne’s husband, Adam cheating on her with a woman who was already pregnant, she broke down.Kelsey tried to say something to offer some comfort but did not know what to say.Yvonne clutched her hands tightly around her head, she was grieving.“I never expected… Adam is hiding a woman... She’s already pregnant too…”Her voice was caught up in her throat, all the complexion had drained out of her face.The information had completely stunned her.Kelsey asked warily, “Have you never noticed any signs back then?”Yvonne shook her head. “No, I never imagined Adam would cheat on me.”Come to think of it, since Agatha moved in with them and insisted that she keep her distance from Adam, the seeds of destruction had been planted.How could a marriage last if a couple did not even spend time in bed together?Adam was a man at

    It was only by figuring out what happened between Adam and his mistress that they could collect evidence of Adam cheating. It would help with the divorce proceeding in court.“No problem, I will handle it.” Tyler assured her.Kelsey snuggled into his arms.She tried to ask him about Zara several times but each time she tried to speak, she did not know where to start.In the end, it was Tyler who initiated the topic instead.“Zara’s life is no longer in danger, but... The bullet was lodged in her spine and it’s looking like her lower body might be paralyzed for life.”“Yeah.” Kelsey grunted softly while averting her gaze so he would not see the look in her eyes.The look in Tyler's eyes was dark. “I have sent my men to get in touch with top-of-the-class surgeons from overseas, they will perform an operation on Zara in a few days.”“Is the success rate of the operation high?” Kelsey held onto hope.Tyler stated grimly, “They say there is a thirty percent chance of success.”K

    Kelsey became flustered and shot him a look. “What do you mean I’m shy?”Within seconds, Tyler pressed forward and grabbed her hands to stop her from squirming away.He settled her onto his lap.“Let me go!”Kelsey was flushed and tried to fight her way out of his arms.Tyler leaned in closer until she could smell his natural scent. A whiff alone was enough to make goosebumps run along every pore of her skin.She shivered all over against her will as if an electric current had passed through her.“If we weren’t in the hospital now, I would have loved to…” Tyler’s voice drawled in her ears.“Don't even think about it!” Kelsey blushed and pushed him away.This was simply too much for her!“Why don’t you eat something?”Tyler grinned coyly, then he reached for a fork and jabbed a piece of meat to bring to Kelsey’s lips.“I’ll do it myself!”Kelsey groaned and tried to wriggle her way out of his arms again.“Finish everything!” Tyler continued to bring more food to feed her.

    Kelsey stared into the dark swirl of emotions stirring inside Tyler’s eyes. She was touched by the gesture.After that, they watched television together for a while until Kelsey got tired. Tyler carried Kelsey back to the bed and waited until she had fallen asleep before leaving.Kelsey had only slept for a while before she was alerted by a round of footsteps outside the ward.Since it was nighttime, it was loud and distinct.She assumed that she was dreaming at first, but soon realized that it was not a dream.With that, she woke up with a start.She stayed underneath the blankets and shuddered with fear.Then, she spied a look at the entrance without even blinking. She wondered who would come at such an hour.Was it Shadow Gale's assassins coming back to get revenge?After all, she was more or less the reason that their scheme of kidnapping the wives of millionaires in the city to demand ransom fell apart. Even one of their leaders, Jerome, was arrested by the cops. It was

    If Cooper had not tried to take advantage of Kelsey to lure Tyler out to kill him, none of this would have happened.They would not have found themselves in this dilemma of choosing whether to look after Zara or not.Cooper was the source of all her troubles.“Kelsey!” Cooper studied her with a deep, profound look.She was dressed in a hospital gown with the collar slightly parted while her hair was tangled. He could catch a glimpse of her defined collarbone and her fair skin.Although it was just a common hospital gown, it seemed especially alluring to Cooper.He could not control himself anymore and without warning, he pulled her into his arms.Kelsey was horrified, her first reaction was to squirm away.“Let me go!” she cried out in a disgusted voice.“Keep your voice down, do you want Tyler's bodyguards to storm in here?” Cooper cautioned her in a suppressed voice.He had made a point of waiting until midnight for Tyler's bodyguards to take a break so he could slip into t

    As long as Cooper took down Tyler, he would get to claim Kelsey!Kelsey's eyes glowed with animosity.Just as she prepared to jab a kick at Cooper to shake him off…Cooper finally let her go and retreated from the ward with a dark look on his face.Kelsey wiped her lips that Cooper managed to graze against just now.It was just a tiny peck on the cheek, he never got any more than that.Despite that, she felt goosebumps run all over her body whenever Cooper touched her.A kiss of all things made it even worse.Kelsey regretted not calling the bodyguard over to have him thrown out immediately.She ended up giving Cooper a chance to harass her and even go as far as to kiss her.In her past life, he would not kiss her even if she had blatantly asked him to do so.He had regarded Tyler as his enemy and just the fact that she had been with Tyler made him detest her. She ended up becoming his enemy by extension.Now, it looked like the fact that she had slept with Tyler no longer

    Seeing how much thought Tyler put into her birthday, Susan felt confident that Kelsey was in good hands. Kelsey was lucky to marry a man like Tyler. The family was blessed to have Tyler. “All that matters is that you’re happy.” Tyler tended to Susan’s needs with respect. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time.” Susan nodded with a delightful smile. Kelsey could tell that Susan was a lot happier today. Susan had been feeling hurt since Charlie sent her to live in a nursing home. She felt like Charlie prioritized his side piece over his mother. It had been a while since Susan smiled again.The smile on Susan’s face was infectious. Kelsey’s face beamed. Tyler smiled along too. The lounge was filled with laughter and joy. After lunch, Tyler drove Kelsey and Susan to the nursing home. Susan, being elderly, fell asleep in the car. Tyler carried Susan back to her room in the nursing home. Kelsey could see how much Tyler cared about Susan. Tyler had to leave d

    “Please… Save my baby…” With Steve walking away, Megan pinned her hope on the restaurant staff. The restaurant manager and staff had witnessed Megan insulting Tyler and Kelsey. They would not risk upsetting Tyler by helping her. The restaurant staff looked the other way and went back to their own business. Megan held her belly as resentment consumed her. Tyler’s support was the only thing helping Kelsey to take Megan down. Otherwise, Megan would still be living her life. First, Charlie threw her out. Even Steve left her. Steven beat her up, causing her to lose her baby. Megan blamed everything on Kelsey. She would make Kelsey pay. Megan vowed to get her revenge. Losing her willpower to the pain, Megan lost consciousness. It was a kind female patron who called the emergency line for Megan. …Kelsey helped Susan into the lounge on the top floor. The place was definitely remarkable. The interior was lavishly appointed, with each piece of furniture carefully

    Steve mounted Megan and punched her face left and right. Megan would hurl abuse at him at first, but her tirade quickly turned into pleading. Steve smacked Megan over two dozen times, only stopping when Megan lay limp on the floor. He turned to Tyler, his grimacing face replaced with ingratiation. “I have taught the bitch a lesson, Mr. Lang.” Stoic-faced, Tyler did not spare a glance at Steve. Steve was irrelevant to Tyler. Tyler took strides to Kelsey and grabbed her hands. He murmured in her ear, “Do you feel better now?” Kelsey looked back at Megan’s swollen face and curled her lips. “She’s not worth my time anyway.” The constant struggles with Charlie and Megan over the years had hardened Kelsey emotionally.Megan’s verbal abuse was like water off a duck’s back. Besides, Charlie had kicked Megan out of the house. Megan’s words were nothing more than a desperate cry now. Steve was no better than Charlie, and Megan had it coming. Despite his age, Steve went

    Megan widened her eyes in disbelief at Steve. “D-Did you just hit me?” The last thing Megan expected was Steve to attack her. She thought she had compromised enough by dating a man so much older.Steve had been spoiling her rotten lately, giving her everything she wanted. Megan had gotten a big head. She thought she had Steve in the bag. Yet, to her dismay, Steve assaulted her. “Bitch!” Steve made a face of disgust. “Why did you slander Ms. Young?” In Steve’s opinion, Megan was more trouble than she was worth. Steve had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Tyler. Megan had gone and insulted Tyler’s woman right in his face. To make matters worse, Steve was caught up in the mess too. Steve regretted spoiling Megan, and she had gone in over her head. Megan’s eyes welled up. “Steve…” Her lips quivered as she looked at Steve with a hurt expression. Paying her no mind, Steve was occupied with ideas to please Tyler. “She’s just an escort to me, Mr. La

    Steve felt embarrassed. He had been wanting to make Tyler’s acquaintance, but a chance to meet him was hard to come by. Now that he ran into Tyler, Steve was determined to make the most out of it. “Let me be a host to you today, Mr. Lang—” Megan cut Steve off. “Mr. Lang, you might not know this, but Kelsey’s father is facing bankruptcy. He’s deep in debt too. Kelsey and her father are just going to be your burden. Don’t let Kelsey’s seemingly innocence fool you. They are just going to leech off you. My daughter, Josephine, is a nice and sensible girl. She’s a better companion than Kelsey. I’ll be delighted to introduce you to her.” Kelsey was impressed with Megan. Even now, Megan had not given up on pushing Josephine into Tyler’s arms. In Kelsey’s past life, Megan went to lengths to matchmake Josephine and Tyler. Nevertheless, Tyler never took an interest in Josephine. Megan was just as delusional as ever. However, Kelsey had no idea that Charlie owed a lot of mon

    “She’s just a bitch.” Megan hissed through clenched teeth, her jealousy showing. She had a hunch. The sudden change in the manager’s attitude toward Kelsey was likely due to Tyler. Megan wished she had Kelsey’s luck to meet a good-looking and rich man. Steve did not believe Megan. If Kelsey was just an ordinary woman, the manager would not take her up to the exclusive top floor. That was a height Steve could never reach despite a lifetime of hard work. However, Kelsey had no plans to accept the manager’s invitation to dine on the top floor. Since Charlie would not be attending or taking Susan out of the nursing home, Kelsey had no reason to dine alone on the top floor. Kelsey was better off getting back to her new office and ordering a takeout. Her discussion with Rosette about the costume design for Adrienne’s new film would continue this afternoon.However, the manager stopped her from leaving and apologized to her frantically. “Please see it in your heart not to

    It was upsetting enough for Kelsey since Charlie managed to deceive her once more. However, Megan had to gloat. “What did I tell you? I told you Charlie can’t afford this place. He can’t even show his face because he’s expected to pay the bill.” “Oh, quit it!” Kelsey glared at Megan. To think Kelsey would give her an attitude. Megan had Steve on her side now. She was no longer the other woman who lived off Charlie’s good graces. Surely, Megan earned the right to mock Charlie. “You’re the manager. Has St. Gills lost its exclusivity? It’s a disgrace that you let just about anyone in,” Megan said sarcastically. Kelsey retaliated. “Oh, aren’t you a picture of poise, Megan? With your sugar daddy, you can’t even make it past security.” “You!” Megan looked daggers at Kelsey. Livid, Megan commanded the manager, “Throw the bitch out now before I’ll make sure your establishment ceases to operate.” The manager narrowed his eyes on Kelsey and Megan. Judging by Kelsey’s mod

    “Kelsey, what are you doing here?” Megan asked harshly.With Megan and Steve approaching, the manager drew close and welcomed them. It then dawned on Kelsey that Megan and Steve were the VIPs who took the private lounge from Charlie. The manager explained the situation, and Megan sneered. “Charlie is going broke. I doubt he can afford to dine at St. Gill’s. With his mounting debts, he’s embarrassing himself when the time comes to pay the bill.” Kelsey narrowed her eyes. Charlie must be using Susan’s birthday as a pretext to ask for more money from Tyler since the family business was going bust. However, Tyler had given Charlie a large sum of money. It was puzzling how Charlie managed to burn through it. Kelsey snapped back with a smirk. “Even so, Charlie is paying with his own money, unlike some people who can’t live a day without a sugar daddy.” Color drained from Megan’s face. Kelsey was basically calling her a gold digger. Megan would not be in this position in th

    Kelsey and Rosette discussed the specifics of auditioning for Adrienne’s new film’s costume design role.As the time neared noon, Kelsey glanced at her phone. Tyler had not replied to her text message. It was nearly time for Susan’s birthday celebration at St. Gill’s. Kelsey decided to go ahead to St. Gill’s. While on the way, she gave Charlie a call to inform that Tyler would not be available for the celebration. Charlie’s voice reflected his disappointment. “What’s this? Why can’t Tyler make it?” Kelsey bit the bullet and explained, “I haven’t been able to reach him.” “I thought Tyler adored you. Why couldn’t you get in touch with him? Did you upset him?” Charlie grilled her. Kelsey refuted, “Things have been going well for us, thanks for asking. He has an emergency today.” Her bond with Tyler could not be stronger. Heck, they nearly went all the way this morning. The nerve of her father to put her down. Charlie was furious. “I knew I couldn’t count on you.” He
