"What's on your mind, Amelia?" asked Nancy when she saw Amelia looking out the window in a daze.Amelia came back to her senses and a meaningful smile appeared on her face. "Nothing. Just some random stuff. By the way, I've heard that Laura is also in this hospital as well.""Has Laura been run over as well? Was it serious?" Nancy asked desperately.As far as she could remember, Laura had been standing in front of the coach as well. It would be great if she was run over as well.Amelia shook her head. "Chris pulled her out of the way, so she wasn't seriously injured."When Nancy heard that Laura wasn't seriously injured, it made her feel that it was a pity. She then thought of something, grabbed Amelia's hand, and asked, "Is Chris here as well?""Well... he's here, but he's obviously taking care of Laura. After all, Laura is his wife," Amelia replied casually."Does he know that I'm injured? Has he come to visit me?" Nancy's eyes were full of hope.Nancy shook her head and ther
At three o'clock in the afternoon.There weren't many people in the cafe. Only two tables of customers were present. It was quite quiet.At that moment, Nathan was sitting on a table next to the windows. He would occasionally look at his watch. It was as if he was waiting for someone.Around 15 minutes later, Chris, who was wearing a set of black clothes sat opposite him with a dark face.Nathan called the waiter over and asked for two cups of coffee.Chris just looked coldly at Nathan. He didn't take the initiative to speak first.Nathan got straight to the point. "My sister is young and naive. I apologize for offending you and your wife, Mr. Jacobs. As her brother, I apologize on her behalf. I'm truly sorry."Chris snorted. It was obvious that he wasn't accepting this apology.Nathan frowned. "My sister has made quite a lot of mistakes, but she didn't cause any actual damage to Miss Walker, right?"Chris knocked on the table in a random manner and then raised his head to loo
Nathan didn't answer Alex's question straightaway. However, Alex seemed to have guessed the problem. "The Jacobs Group isn't willing to resume cooperation with the Summers Group?"Nathan was slightly stunned, but still nodded. "The Jacobs Group refused to resume cooperation and it seems that they have no intention of accepting our apology either.""Nancy did go too far this time.""Don't worry, Dad. I'll definitely give you a result that you're satisfied with."Alex shook his head. "Chris isn't someone who's easy to deal with. All we can do now is to decrease our losses.""I understand. I'll get right on it."Nathan immediately rushed back to his office to deal with the Summers Group's problems.Chris was indeed not someone easy to deal with. His background and his connections were all very complicated. Nathan had no choice but to give up cooperation with the Jacobs Group no matter how unwilling he was.The truth was that the termination of the contract alone wouldn't bring the
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day.When Chris came back with the breakfast, he found out that Laura was already awake."I've just bought breakfast. Have some oat porridge first." Chris placed the breakfast on the table and opened a portion of oat porridge."Chris, I think I've fully recovered. I want to be discharged from the hospital this afternoon." Laura had been hospitalized for two weeks."Okay. Let's pack things up and head home." Chris nodded.He made sure that Laura didn't have any problems and seemed to be mentally stable as well.He also asked the doctor about Laura's condition and the doctor said that she could be discharged as well. All they would need to be careful of was the food that Laura ate. Therefore, Chris agreed as soon as Laura mentioned that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital.After breakfast, Chris began packing their luggage. When everything was packed, he held Laura's hand and walked out of the ward.When doing the paperwork for
One day, Alex was reading a story to Mrs. Summers beside the bed as usual. That was when the latter's fingers suddenly moved.Alex immediately spotted the minor movement and quickly called for a doctor.The doctor checked Mrs. Summers and said, "Mrs. Summers is showing signs of waking up. She probably will wake up within the next two days."When Amelia received the news, she quickly rushed over from Nancy's room."Dad, I've heard that Mom will be waking up soon?"Amelia's desperate voice caused Alex to feel a little weird, but he just thought that she was happy. "That's right. The doctor said that she will be waking up very soon."Mrs. Summers had been unconscious for over two weeks and was now finally waking up. With that, Alex finally had a smile on his face.After hearing those words, Amelia's face was darker than ever, but she still pretended to be very happy. "That's great news!""Dad, I'll go tell Nancy about the good news. She'll definitely be overjoyed when she hears it
Nancy had fantasized about Chris coming to visit her at first, but when she heard what Amelia had said, her face changed. "What did you say? They left? Why did they leave? Why didn't you tell me?"In the end, Nancy ended up complaining about Amelia's actions.After hearing Nancy's words, Amelia couldn't help but look down on Nancy. She then said inwardly, 'Why can't they leave? Even if I told you about it, what could you have done?'She kept those words to herself and pretended to feel sorry for Nancy. "Well, I thought they would stay in the hospital for a little longer. I didn't tell you because of your condition. I don't want to do anything that delays your recovery."Amelia's words made Nancy feel even more depressed.'How could Chris leave? How could he? He still hadn't come to visit me!' Nancy shouted inwardly."Nancy, are you alright?" Amelia saw that Nancy's face was already twisted and knew that her plan was half complete."I have a plan to get Chris to come to the hospi
Laura showed Chris her and Nancy's chat history.When Chris saw the message he reached out to lock Laura's phone and then placed it on the bedside table. "Just ignore her.""But I'm still worried about Mrs. Summers."Laura knew that Nancy was up to no good, but she couldn't remain calm at all after hearing news about Mrs. Summers.Chris rubbed her head. "If you're still worried then I'll go with you tomorrow."He knew that he couldn't stop Laura from going to the hospital. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stop worrying.As expected, Laura's eyes lit up when she heard those words.Seeing the look on Laura's face, Chris laughed. "Alright, you happy now? It's getting late, let's go to sleep."With that said, Chris closed the lights.After getting the answer she wanted, Laura slept very soundly in Chris's arms.Meanwhile, Nancy wasn't able to get a reply from Laura, so she became very desperate and began cursing very loudly."You bitch! How dare you not reply to my messages? I
A while had passed and Chris and Laura were about to leave. This made Amelia desperate and quickly stopped them."Are you going to stay for a little while longer?" Amelia asked awkwardly.Seeing the arm in front of Laura, Chris looked at Amelia coldly.His gaze sent chills down Amelia's back. But she still didn't pull her hand back."My mom really likes you. I apologize for what I've done in the past. I shouldn't have been making things difficult for you. I hope we can be on good terms in the future," said Amelia.After hearing the words "be on good terms", Laura was a little taken aback. She then exchanged gazes with Chris.Both of them felt that Amelia wasn't feeling right.Laura smiled. "That's not necessary, Miss Summers."Everyone fell silent once again.Alex had been doing business for many years and had dealt with all kinds of different situations. He immediately saw that Amelia was behaving strangely.He knew that Laura didn't like Amelia, but the latter was trying to
