"It's alright, Prof. Wilson. During the time that I was away from the research lab, I realized that I still liked to work as a researcher. It would be best if I could go back, but it's alright if I can't. My family has found a job for me as well," Liam lied without any hesitation.He didn't want Prof. Wilson to continue so he quickly changed the subject."Prof. Wilson, did you take a look at the tea I brought for you? It's some top-grade Earl Grey." Liam took out the tea that he had brought for Prof. Wilson. He then deliberately showed it to everyone present. "This Earl Grey is the best of the best. Only a few hundred kilos would be produced every year. It could be said as priceless.""Let me take a look."Prof. Wilson knew that Liam had brought a gift for him, but he had never been interested in other people's gifts.When Liam said that he had brought some tea for Prof. Wilson, it sparked his interest."This Earl Grey is very expensive on the market. The price is around 2,000 do
At first, Laura didn't agree with Chris's decision.She felt if it was she who owned the tea, then she wouldn't have any problems giving it to Prof. Wilson as a gift, but the tea belonged to Chris. Laura didn't want to accept something so expensive.However, Chris insisted. He said that he had quite a lot and Laura had no choice but to agree.Looking at how Chris discussed tea with Prof. Wilson, Liam's face paled.Prof. Wilson's attention was focused on the Ceylon Golden Tips brought by Chris and wasn't looking at the Earl Grey that Liam had brought at all.This made Liam feel aggrieved throughout the rest of the meal.After lunch, Laura and Chris didn't want to stay and disturb Prof. Wilson and Hailey, so they were prepared to leave.Hailey packed quite a lot of pickles for Laura and Laura accepted them with joy. After saying goodbye to Prof. Wilson and Hailey, Laura and Chris walked down the stairs.Liam and Emily walked behind them.Looking at Laura and Chris walking togeth
When Laura woke up, she was in a hospital ward.The ceiling was completely white.As soon as Laura opened her eyes, she felt a little uncomfortable."Laura, you're awake."Madam Jacobs' voice sounded next to Laura. Her voice was full of concern.Laura felt a headache and her memories stopped the moment Liam's car crashed into hers. It was Chris who pulled her into his arms."Grandma, where's Chris?" Laura looked around but didn't see Chris anywhere. This caused Laura to panic a little.When Laura saw the look on Madam Jacobs' face, her heart skipped a beat."What is it, Grandma? Did something happen to Chris?"Tears welled up in Laura's eyes."He'll be fine. Chris will be fine. He's still in the operating room at the moment, but you don't need to worry, Laura. Chris will definitely be fine," Madam Jacobs said in a hurry.Madam Jacobs was worried about Chris's condition deep down, but she still tried to comfort Laura."Laura, you should get some rest. The doctors said that e
When the lights outside the operating room turned off, Laura immediately stood up from the bench. She looked at the doors of the operating room nervously. When the doctors came out, Laura immediately walked over."Doctor, how's my husband?""He's not in a critical state anymore, but a lot of pieces of glass were inserted into different parts of his body and that included his face. We don't know if he will be scarred. That will depend on how he recovers."When Laura heard that Chris was no longer in any danger, she breathed a sigh of relief.However, what the doctor said afterwards caused her eyes to turn red.Chris's face had always been very handsome and flawless.It was he who protected Laura in the car crash and that was why so many pieces of glass splashed onto him. Such a thought made Laura's heart ache.When Chris was pushed out of the operating room, he was still unconscious. The doctor told Laura that this was normal and that she would have to at least wait until the eve
"No!" Laura retorted immediately. "We can go to a beauty center after you recover. Technology nowadays is very advanced. No scars will be left on your face."Laura's heart would ache whenever she thought of Chris's handsome face being scarred.Chris looked at and his words seemed to be leading Laura somewhere. "What if we can't get rid of the scars? What if others dislike me because of the scars on my face?""I will never dislike you." Laura had a serious look on her face. "If no one wants to marry you anymore... I won't abandon you. I'll keep on being your wife if you want."As soon as Laura said those words, her ears turned red.Chris's eyes flashed and he continued to ask, "About the contract that we signed before we got married. Shall we cancel it then?"The contract stated that the two of them would be married for a year and after one year, they would get a divorce.Six months had passed since they were married.When Chris asked the question, he was a little scared that La
Chris looked at Laura's forehead and saw that there was a bandage there as well.He wasn't going to let Laura be scarred.It didn't take long for Harry to reply. "No problem. How are you feeling, Chris? Are there any serious problems?""I'm fine. Take care of Grandma.""Don't worry. I'll take good care of Grandma. You and Laura can focus on getting better. By the way, how are you going to deal with the two that crashed into you deliberately? The way I see it, we should sue them, send them behind bars for the rest of their lives and also teach them a lesson they'll never forget."Chris looked at the screen of the phone in his hand with an indifferent expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking."I'll take care of those two.""Okay." Chris didn't have any problems with that.On the morning of the next day. When Laura woke up, Chris was already awake.He was leaning against his pillow and watching the morning news with his headphones on.When he saw that Laura was a
Shannon texted Laura saying that she would come to visit Laura and Chris after work.Laura couldn't really say no and could only agree to Shannon's suggestion.When Shannon arrived at the hospital, Harry just happened to be bringing dinner for Chris and Laura.The food was specially cooked by the Jacobs family's chef. The nutrients were carefully balanced and would help Laura and Chris recover."Have you eaten yet, Shannon?" Laura placed the food on the table and then looked at the time. She guessed that Shannon had probably headed straight to the hospital after getting off work. "Come, let's eat together.""It's alright." Shannon quickly waved her hand. "You don't need to worry about me, Miss Walker. You and Mr. Jacobs can eat first. I'll find a place to get something to eat later on."Harry didn't bring much food to the hospital. It was enough for Laura and Chris. However, Shannon was worried that there wouldn't be enough food if she sat down and ate with them.Today was the f
After making the suggestion, Laura's ears began to turn red.This was the only way to prevent Chris's wounds from coming in contact with water.Laura had no idea whether Chris was going to agree or not.She coughed and then lowered her head feeling a little embarrassed.If it had been in the past, Laura wouldn't have made such a suggestion, but Chris was injured this time trying to protect her. Laura wasn't a person without a conscience, she wanted to make Chris feel more comfortable during the time that he was hospitalized.Pretending to be calm, Chris nodded slowly. "Okay."Laura walked over and helped Chris into the bathroom.She had prepared a clean towel and a bucket. When she filled the bucket with hot water, she turned and looked at Chris."Well... do you want to take your clothes off first?"Laura didn't even dare to look at Chris when she was asking that question.The two of them had rarely held hands, but now, Laura was suddenly going to see Chris's naked body...'
