Linda had just about finished her meal, so she went straight back into her room.Looking at Linda's receding figure, Shona poked Nicholas with the fork in her hand. "Look at what your mom had said. We were doing this for her own good. Nicholas, your mom lives with us at the moment, and we're paying for everything. She doesn't need to pay for anything, so you might as well get her to give you her pension next time. It can prevent her from spending money on unnecessary things."In the past, when Shona wanted Linda's pension, Nicholas would always refuse. However, this time, when he heard Shona's words, he hesitated and then nodded. "Okay."This answer made Shona smile.Luke saw what was happening and said, "Mom, what do the supplements that Grandma bought look like? Let me have a look."Shona took out her phone and showed Luke what she found on the internet.On the morning of the next day.Linda went out to buy some fruit. When she came back, she was about to go back to her room t
Shannon looked at Laura teasingly and said, "I feel you're very lucky, Miss Walker. Your husband treats you very well."Shannon would always see Chris occasionally bringing some snacks for Laura, which were prepared by the Jacobs Group.Laura smiled, but didn't express her opinion. Chris did treat her very well, that was the truth."How are you and your boyfriend doing?" Laura asked while still knitting the scarf.She remembered that Shannon had told her a few days ago that she had a new boyfriend."Well." Shannon chuckled. "We're doing quite well. Compared to my previous boyfriends, he isn't the most handsome, but he's definitely the one who treated me the best. He cares a lot about me and would pay attention to my mood."At the mention of her boyfriend, Shannon seemed to have a lot to talk about. "Miss Walker, how long have you and your husband been dating before you were married?""Well..." Laura hesitated before continuing, "We met on a blind date, so we got married quite qu
"Thank you, Liam, but that's not necessary. I've told my husband and he said that he'll drive me there."On the day when Laura received the invitation, she told Chris about the lecture. He then said that he would give her a lift to the lecture.Liam's eyes darkened when he heard those words, but he quickly smiled and continued, "Are you free this lunchtime, Laura? Do you want to have lunch together? We haven't had lunch together for ages. I just happen to want to talk to you about professional knowledge."Laura opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, a deep male voice sounded from outside the convenience store. "No, she's not free. If you have any questions, then you can ask Google."A man in a black suit walked into the store. He had a tall figure and a handsome face. His slender hands hung on either side of him. Laura immediately saw the cuff links on his wrists."These are the cuff links I bought you, right? I told you they would look great on you."Chris nodded s
Chris and Laura showing off their relationship just now made Liam's heart ache. Especially when he heard Chris call him by his name. This made Liam grit his teeth."I'm just about to leave," said Liam.He held the bottle of water in his hand and walked out of the convenience store. However, he stopped when he reached the door. "Laura is a good girl. If you don't treat her well, then I'll definitely teach you a lesson you won't forget."Liam's words made Chris laugh. "Don't worry. I'll definitely treat my wife well. I love my wife, so I'll definitely spoil you. That's not something outsiders need to worry about."Not knowing if it was intentional, Chris was emphasizing the words "my wife". This made Liam's face turn pale. In the end, he had no choice but to leave.Liam got into his car which was parked on the side of the road. Sitting in the driver's seat, Liam punched the steering wheel in front of him.What Liam didn't notice was that as soon as he left the convenience store, a
In order to not make things too obvious, Chris made the medicinal supplements into drinks and would give a small bottle to Laura every morning and afternoon."This drink actually tastes quite nice. Your boss treats you so well. He actually prepares in the morning and afternoon for you."Chris leaned against the counter of the convenience store and looked at Laura. He made a note of Laura's compliments in his mind and nodded seriously. "Yes, he definitely treats us well. I'm lucky to be able to work in this company.""But the drinks are limited, right? What are you going to do if you've given the drinks to me?" Laura looked at the bottle in her hand which contained the medicinal supplements."I've got more. The drinks might be limited to other employees, but I'm the CEO's assistant. I don't have any limits.""That's good then."After all, the drink actually did taste good."By the way, I've got something to show you." After finishing the drink in her hand, she took out a small ba
About 20 minutes later.After getting out of the car, Laura ran towards the hospital located in the city center.Her lips were pursed and her eyes were red.Chris quickly parked the car and ran after Laura.There were a lot of people in the hospital and there was a long queue for the elevator, so she chose to take the stairs. Laura quickly ran up the stairs to the 13th floor.Outside the operating room on the 13th floor. Laura saw two familiar figures."Where's Grandma? How is she?" Laura ran towards Nicholas.After hearing her voice, Shona and Nicholas both looked in Laura's direction."Why are you here?" As soon as Nicholas saw Laura, he frowned."You bitch. How dare you come here? I still haven't settled the matter of your husband beating up your brother, how dare you show up here?" shouted Shona."Shut your mouth!" Laura turned and looked at Shona with cold eyes.This caused Shona to be dumbfounded."Why would Grandma have cerebral hemorrhage all of a sudden? What happe
After coming out of Dr. Lister's office, Laura looked exhausted.Chris tried a few times to comfort Laura, but he knew that no words could comfort Laura now. All he could do was stay by her side quietly."Chris, Dr. Lister said that Grandma's operation would still take a while. Can you come with me to buy something for Dr. Lister?""Okay." Chris nodded.Laura had bought quite a lot of things for Dr. Lister, but he refused to accept anything. In the end, Laura had to leave the things in his office and run off with Chris.In the past, when Linda was in hospital, Dr. Lister had helped her out quite a lot. Now, he was worried about Linda as well. Laura would feel guilty if she didn't do anything for Dr. Lister.Laura and Chris arrived outside the operating room.Shona was tired of standing, so she was resting on a bench.Seeing Chris, she opened her mouth and was about to stand up, but in the end, she decided to remain seated.Nicholas, however, locked gazes with Chris for a whole
When Nicholas saw that Linda was no longer in critical condition, he heaved a sigh of relief. He lowered his head, looked at his phone, and said to Shona, "I still have matters to take care of, I've got to go. Laura, take care of your grandma with your mom."Laura nodded in acknowledgement. Shona wanted to say that she had to leave as well, but she knew it was inappropriate for her to say such words at this moment in time. All she could do was to sit sulkily on the sofa.Laura found a chair and sat beside Linda's bed. Chris walked up to her and asked, "It's lunchtime, what do you want to eat? I'll go get you something to eat."Chris's words made Laura realize that it was already 12 o'clock noon. She had a lot of missed calls and text messages as well."I'm not hungry. You can go get something to eat for now.""No." Chris refused Laura's proposal. "If Grandma wakes up, she would definitely not want to see you like this. I'll go get some food, wait here for me."Not only Linda had
