With this in mind, Jenna no longer questioned Leo’s decision.“I understand what you mean, Dr. Leo. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it,” Jenna said.Leo’s voice was gentle with a smile, “Thank you, Miss Jenna.”After hanging up the phone, Jenna got back in the car.The car started again and headed towards the hospital, but unfortunately, they ran into rush-hour traffic. What should have been a one-hour journey ended up taking two hours.Jenna had been busy filming and taking care of Kaia during her time in the United States. She hardly had any rest, and her body was exhausted. She was only holding on because she was looking forward to seeing Ella.But this traffic jam made her feel even more tired, and even her strong anticipation couldn’t keep her awake.Just as she was dozing off, Amelia suddenly said, “The situation with Amy being the third party has been reversed?”When Jenna heard the name Amy, she woke up with a start and turned to ask Amelia, “Amy? What situation has been rev
There are two possibilities.The first is that someone has set their sights on Apex Corp and wants to take advantage of Lucas Montgomery's unconsciousness to swallow up the company. They deliberately create various crises to affect the stock price and then use a lower cost to acquire the company.The second possibility is that the Montgomery family themselves released a smokescreen to confuse the outside world and complete an internal reshuffle, achieving a "break to rebuild" effect.However, since there are only two people left in the Montgomery family, Leah Montgomery, who is not good at management and just wants to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and Lucas's Father, who has lost his equity and lacks the ability to act, Jenna believes that the second possibility can be ignored.So let's go back to the first possibility.Since someone is planning to acquire Apex Corp from behind the scenes, they will not really let the company go bankrupt. Instead, they will make a move when the st
"Hmm?" Jenna was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a moment. "There seems to be such a saying, but it's not just the Quinn family. I heard that several domestic conglomerates are interested."When Jenna got off the plane that day, she bought some shares of Apex Corp on a whim, so she naturally paid attention to the news of the company these days. When Ella asked, she answered truthfully.But..."Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"Ella still lowered her head, as if thinking about something, and it took a while before she answered softly, "Nothing."Jenna felt that there seemed to be something more to her words.For a moment, Jenna felt as if a light flashed in her mind, but unfortunately, it was too fast for her to catch."Jenna."Jenna looked up. "Hmm?"Ella looked at her and whispered, "Can you take me to see him?"It took Jenna several seconds to understand that the "him" in Ella's mouth was Lucas. "Are you talking about Lucas? Why did you suddenly want to go see
"Of course," said Jenna as she closed the door behind her.The hospital room fell silent once again, with only the sound of Ella slowly wheeling her chair towards the bed.She stopped beside the bed, looking at the man lying there with closed eyes, as if forever asleep but still handsome enough to not seem real. The thorn in her heart had finally turned into a knife, twisting and hurting her repeatedly."Lucas..." she softly reached out her hand and gently stroked his face. "Thank you for saving me.""I lost my memory, only remembering things before my twenty-first birthday. They told me you were my ex-husband, and that you didn't love me, so you cheated on me and had a child out of wedlock.""But I can't understand, if you really didn't love me, why did you save me?" Her voice was low, as if talking to herself.The man on the bed didn't respond at all."The nurse said the doctor has determined that you are brain dead, but I don't believe it. You're so smart, so strong, how could you
The school agreed to her request, but what surprised Ella was that she was transferred to the School of Business.Ella was originally worried about running into Lucas in the same school. However, when she arrived at the school, she found out that Lucas had already started interning at a company. Even if she was his junior, she wouldn't have seen him much even if they were in the same class for a semester.By the time Ella finished her sophomore year, he had already graduated. The two of them, who had no contact in the first place, never met again. Ella was busy catching up on her first-year coursework and had no time to think about the boy who had appeared in her life and disrupted her life.She never imagined that he would become her husband in the future." Leo and Jenna both said that you don't like me. Leo may have ulterior motives, but Jenna wouldn't lie to me.""If you've never liked me, why did you risk your life to save me?""To repay the favor you did for me back then, whe
Ella tried all kinds of birthdays and anniversaries of the people around her, but none of them worked. Helpless, she had to try to retrieve the password. Fortunately, the password retrieval used her old email, and she still remembered the email password, so she quickly logged in and found that there was not only the verification code she had just received, but also an email. The sender was an unfamiliar email address without a note, but when she opened it, she found a bunch of garbled characters inside. Ella thought it was spam and was about to put it in the email trashcan and add the account to the blacklist. But just as she clicked the "blacklist" button, the system suddenly popped up a prompt: "This email account has had multiple email exchanges with you. Are you sure you want to blacklist it?" Ella was stunned and quickly clicked cancel. Then she opened her inbox and carefully checked it, only to find that this account had indeed sent her emails, and she had replied, but the
Ella hesitated for a moment before confessing, "Officer Philip, there’s something I need to tell you."Philip was taken aback. "What is it?""I have amnesia," Ella said. "I’ve forgotten everything that’s happened in the past few years since I turned twenty-one. That’s why I asked you for that email earlier. I remember Samuel, but I don’t remember what I said to him when we were in contact because I deleted those emails myself."Philip was silent for a while, seemingly digesting what she had just said."So, you don’t remember the Blake family fire six years ago or the recent explosion case?" he asked.Ella pursed her lips. "I don’t remember anything. My knowledge of these events is limited to what people around me have told me and what I’ve read in the news and newspapers."Philip rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.He had thought that contacting Ella would help solve many of the questions he had, but things had only become more complicated. After a moment of thought, h
Time was running out. Ella directly told Philip her thoughts after reading the email Samuel Griffith left her and the investigations of the past few days."Although you have lost your memory, you read yesterday's email, and you should know almost everything about the Blake family fire case six years ago. The trial of this case six years ago was very rough. This time it seems to be more detailed. But in fact, there are still many procedurally unreasonable places.""The most obvious thing is that this case is obviously derived from the bombing case. According to common sense, you are the only one who wakes up among the two survivors of the bombing case. Therefore, the superiors should send someone to interrogate you based on emotion and reason.""Even if you lose your memory, they should at least check your details and the intersection with the other two dead people.""But actually, has anyone from the police contacted you these days? So far, there should be no one other than me.""No."
However, Ella suddenly thought of something and looked up. "Dante, the lawyer, did you hire him?"As expected, Dante was stunned before replying, "How did you know?"Although everyone knew that the mastermind behind the Montgomery family's fire six years ago was not only Leo, but also possibly involved the Lopez family, it was also known that it was difficult to bring down the Lopez family with their current momentum.Therefore, both Ella and Lucas did not act rashly.Yesterday, Leo's lawyer suddenly threw out evidence in court implicating the Lopez family, and Ella felt that the lawyer was suspicious, but she couldn't figure out who arranged it.Until just now, when she heard Dante's words, she suddenly understood that it could only be Dante.Ella suddenly felt warm in her heart.She looked at Dante and bowed deeply. "Thank you."DANTE was confused. "Thank me for what?" After a while, she suddenly reacted, "Wait, you don't think I hired a lawyer to save him, do you? You're wrong. I
With this thought, Ella suddenly realized that Kaia not only had a poker face like Lucas, but also had some resemblance to Lucas in his facial features."This is...""My son," Lucas lowered his head and said to Kai, "Kai, call Uncle Dante."Kai obediently called out, "Hello, Uncle Dante."Uncle Dante said he was not good at all.He stared at Kai, his face full of disbelief. "This, this child is yours and Lucas'...""Dante I brought the child over for an exam, and time is tight, so I won't chat with you anymore. You can do as you please."Ella didn't want to discuss the issue of her child's identity with this half-stranger so early in the morning, so she smiled at Dante, then took Kai and walked away.Dante had finally run into her, how could he just let her go like this?But he also realized that Ella didn't want to discuss this topic, so after coming back to his senses, he quickly caught up and steered the conversation towards Kai. "Your son is so young and already taking exams? What
Lucas asked again, "Is there anyone else at home while Amy is out?""There’s a nanny.""Does the nanny take good care of you?"Theo didn’t answer.Lucas frowned at his hesitant expression.If the nanny treated Theo well, he wouldn’t hesitate like this. But if she didn’t, with Theo’s tendency to complain and cause trouble, how could he possibly cover up for her?Could it be that this little guy, at such a young age, had already learned to be afraid of the strong and bully the weak?Thinking of this, Lucas’s expression turned cold."Stand up straight!"Theo trembled and tried to straighten his body like a small pine tree."I’m asking you, is the nanny good to you or not? If you lie, I won’t take care of you anymore."Theo panicked at these words.If Dad didn’t want him and Amy was gone, what would he do in the future?"Not good! The nanny hits me and says I’m a bastard, not Dad’s child! She won’t let me complain to Amy, or else she’ll sell me to a remote mountain and let Amy and Dad nev
"What's the matter with me?"This mischievous child wouldn’t be able to harm her even if he wanted to.Ella paused and said, "Do you want to talk to him first? Otherwise, I'm standing here at the hospital entrance with people coming and going. It’s not good to block his mouth, but if I don’t block his mouth, I’m afraid he’ll say something harmful to you, Mr. Montgomery."As soon as Lucas heard her call him Mr. Montgomery, he knew she was in a bad mood again and immediately said, "Then give the phone to Theo."Ella handed the phone to Theo’s ear and took the tissue box out of his mouth."You little fox.""Theo, say one more word to her and see what happens."Theo’s fear of Lucas was almost innate, so even though Amy had been brainwashing him these days, saying that his father had been lured away by Lila, the fox spirit, and didn’t want them anymore, he still harbored resentment towards Lucas.But now, when he heard Lucas’s voice, he reflexively closed his mouth and even trembled slight
Just then, Ella heard a commotion coming from the direction of the TV station entrance, and faintly heard a child crying."You bad guy! Let go of me, I want to find my mommy...""Your mommy doesn't work here anymore! If you keep causing trouble, I'll call the police!""You're lying, my mommy told me yesterday that she's coming to work at the TV station!"Ella listened from afar and felt a sense of familiarity. Could it be that she had just lamented that Amy wasn’t here, and now she had encountered Amy’s child again?She pursed her lips and originally wanted to turn around and leave. After all, even if the child had lost the protection of his mother, since Lucas had woken up, he should take care of him. It wouldn't be long before someone came to take him away, and it wasn’t her place to play the saint at this time.But just as she took two steps, the child’s crying became even louder, and the voice of the security guard didn’t sound as harsh as before, but rather panicked."You, you
After leaving the court, Ella's mood was not very good.She had planned to go home and take a nap, but she received a call from the delivery company on the way. The furniture she had ordered online out of boredom while recuperating had been delivered in pieces over the past few days.The delivery company had been urging her to pick it up as the furniture took up space in their warehouse.Ella thought for a moment and decided to go to her new home to check on the furniture. She arranged a delivery time with the delivery man and headed to her new home.When she arrived at the doorstep of her new house, the delivery man had just arrived with the children's bed she had ordered. Even with two men carrying it, it took a lot of effort to move the pile of wooden boards.The online store had promised installation, but no one had come to install it even after half a day. Ella contacted customer service and was told that installation had to be scheduled separately. However, all the installati
"Life-saving benefactor?" Ella remained calm. "I never intended to take him away from the beginning."Lucas, who couldn't fit into his outfit, clung to Ella's hand. "You promised to take me to see the trial together today."Ella replied, "Yes, but I also said last night that we need the doctor's approval. I asked the doctor for you this morning, and he said you have to rest in the hospital."Lucas' face twisted into a bitter gourd. He was about to speak, but the ward door was pushed open at that moment."Lila, the discharge has been processed."Mrs. Kane's voice abruptly stopped.She stared at Ella, then at Lucas, and then at her own precious daughter's hand, tightly held by Lucas.The air fell into a deathly silence.Finally, it was Ella who reacted first. She pulled back her hand and smiled awkwardly at Mrs. Kane. "Um, Mom, Mr. Montgomery has something to discuss with me."Mrs. Kane replied, "Okay, you guys talk first. I'll wait for you outside."With complicated emotions, she clos
“Lucas?” Ella frowned. “Why did he come to me instead of resting in his own room?”Zane repeated, “Mr. Montgomery has something to discuss with you.”“Why couldn’t he just talk on the phone?”Zane hesitated for a moment before blurting out, “He needs you to answer the phone first.”Ella fell silent. She didn’t mean to ignore Lucas’s calls. When he called in the afternoon, she was on the phone with Officer Philip. After hearing about Kings Lopez’s confession and Leo’s desire to confess, she had no energy left to deal with Lucas’s matters.It was only when she ran into Matt at the hospital and was reminded of some memories from the past that she thought to ask a few questions.Ella rubbed her forehead and didn’t bother explaining to Zane. She pushed open the door and walked in.Mrs. Kane had been guided by Mr. Kane to watch less TV recently, so she still didn’t know about Leo’s car accident, let alone that he was a murderer.She thought Lila might reconcile with Dr. Leo. So when she h
After asking the question, Matt finally got his answer and stopped being curious.But Ella suddenly remembered something.She turned her head to look at Matt and, imitating his tone, asked a riddle, "That child is not his, right?"Matt: "..."This riddle really stumped Matt for a moment.The child was easy to guess—it was obviously Theo. But who was the "he" in Ella's question? If she was referring to Lucas, then the answer was definitely no.But if she was referring to Theo's father, then the answer would be completely different!After thinking for a while, Matt scratched his head and said, "Didn't we already make it clear that the child's name was Theo?"Ella immediately understood. She guessed it right—or, more accurately, it was Kai who reminded her. The child was actually Lucas’s good friend, Theo's father, Dylan!Ella thought for a moment and asked again, "So he kept the child's identity a secret from me because he had his reasons?"This time, Matt immediately understood that th
