Kaylee Lawson had always known that William Morgan was cold and distant - a man completely out of reach. Everyone said he was proud and kept to himself, never showing any interest in women. Later, after breaking up with her boyfriend, fate somehow brought her to stay by William's side. Each night, as he laced his fingers through hers and kissed her over and over, whispering "one more time"... With tears glistening in her eyes, Kaylee finally realized just how thoroughly she had been deceived!
View MoreWhat a coincidence... The day before Lynn returned to the country, William had asked Kaylee to stay by his side as his girlfriend. The next day, he flew to South City.If Susanne wasn't lying, then Lynn had arrived in South City that very same day. Susanne sighed, "Your mother and I were very close back in the day. I truly want you to be happy. Unfortunately, I didn't raise my son well, and he hurt you. If you ever need anything, you can always come to me."Kaylee watched as Susanne left. William had arranged a car to pick her up—it was parked right outside the hospital. But instead of leaving, she found a shaded bench and sat down.Taking out her phone, she searched for "Lynn Watson" on social media. Soon, she found a barely noticeable news article—famous jewelry designer Lynn Watson had returned to the country. The accompanying photo, taken at the airport, was posted on Tuesday.Judging by the background, it was exactly the kind of commercial building that Dr. Henderson had m
"Susanne, I performed two surgeries overnight yesterday, standing for over ten hours. I'm really exhausted right now," Kaylee explained seriously. "My work keeps me incredibly busy—I really don't have the time or energy to think about these things.""Oh, no matter how busy you are, you can't neglect your lifelong happiness. This young man is truly outstanding—he's around your age, good-looking, academically excellent, and even studied abroad. I've heard he's never had a girlfriend before."As Susanne mentioned that last detail, her tone lifted slightly.Never had a girlfriend before.To Kaylee, that was a red flag—there was a good chance this guy simply didn’t like women.She had a friend in college who was tricked into a marriage like that. The man had an impeccable background—successful, attractive, and in his thirties, yet he'd never dated anyone before. At the time, her friend thought she had found the perfect husband, a blessing from the heavens.Only after marriage did she
In some remote mountainous areas, tents were still necessary, and taking a bath was even more challenging."It was his own request. He said that after so many years abroad, he wanted to start by applying what he had learned to small tasks within his ability."The director of the medical department spoke these words with obvious pride. Kaylee had yet to meet Mason, but she already had a good impression of him.After the director left, Kaylee changed her clothes, preparing to go off duty. As she passed through the outpatient hall, curiosity got the better of her. She went upstairs to check Lucy's examination results in the system.According to the doctor's report, the baby was indeed slightly larger than average, and a fetal heartbeat was already present. However, the size difference was not significant.Kaylee curiously asked, "For a gestational sac of this size, what is the normal gestational age?"The doctor replied, "It varies for each person. Normally, a fetal heartbeat appear
The scene from yesterday flashed through Kaylee's mind. Ignoring Lucy's gaze, she sincerely congratulated Alex, "Congratulations, Mr. Morgan.""Thank you.""I won't disturb you two any longer. I'll get back to work now." With a slight nod, Kaylee turned and left.She had been by Alex's side for twenty years, four of which she spent as his girlfriend. She had cared for him meticulously—staying up all night to bring down his fever when he was sick, changing his clothes and sheets when he drank too much and vomited all over his bed.Beyond the gratitude she owed to the Morgan family, she had genuine feelings for Alex as a person.And yet, she had watched him lie to her face time and time again. Now, he was engaged, and his fiancée was pregnant. The most ridiculous part? The child wasn't even his. She wondered if this counted as karma.Kaylee went to the cafeteria for lunch. When she took the elevator up to the sixth floor, she ran into Alex again. He was holding a stack of rec
"No need, I'll just stay in my room."Kaylee quickly interrupted him, breaking free from his embrace as she spoke.William didn’t stop her. Instead, he stood up with her and said, "Alright, I'll walk you to the door."Kaylee practically ran back to her room.In the bathroom, she removed her makeup meticulously. Even after washing her face, her reflection in the mirror showed her cheeks still burning as if she had a fever.The next day.That evening, after returning to North City, Kaylee realized William had not come home.Only then did she fully understand—he wasn't joking.He was truly giving her a week to decide.Two days later, while working a night shift, Kaylee wanted to review her meeting notes from a few days ago. Only then did she remember that she had left her notebook in Emma’s room while doing her makeup.After contacting Emma, they arranged for Kaylee to pick it up at the hospital after her shift.Since Emma was also working, they didn’t chat much. Kaylee grabbed
Kaylee's face burned so hotly it felt like she had a fever. She shook her head lightly. "No, Alex is just used to having me around to take care of him. I... I and he..."Before she could finish,William suddenly sat up, placing a firm hand under her legs and lifting her directly into his arms!His clothing was thin—so thin that she could clearly sense his "raging emotions" in that moment."I'll give you one week."William's hand hovered lightly around her waist as he spoke.Kaylee dared not move, allowing him to hold her. The strong scent of alcohol surrounded her, and her heart raced. Even though she hadn't touched a drop, she felt as if she were intoxicated."You will stay by my side as my girlfriend for one year. If after that time you still think I'm deceiving you, treating you as someone else's substitute, you may leave. I won't stop you."As he spoke, his gaze remained locked on her, carefully observing her reaction.His actions had already crossed a boundary in their rela
Kaylee remained seated where she was, not moving. W’illiams clothes were too thin, and coupled with the strong scent of alcohol - although some of it had been splashed on his clothes, he had indeed been drinking.The two of them were alone in the room, and one of them had been drinking..."I've said before, I'm not so immoral as to force anyone," William interlaced his fingers, a gesture indicating his stance on the matter.Of course, Kaylee knew he wouldn't force her. What she feared was... losing control herself.Everything about William was perfect - his physique, personality, intellect, sense of responsibility. He embodied all the qualities of her ideal partner.She was afraid that if she got too close to him, she would abandon all her principles. She would indulge in foolish fantasies...Seeing that she hadn't budged an inch, William got up slightly and leaned over towards her. If she wasn't coming to him, then he would go to her.The smell of alcohol on him was intense.
"Mr. Morgan,” Kaylee met William’s dark eyes, "I didn't abandon you, I...""What, I remember you weren't good at lying, but I never thought you'd even practice your lying skills in front of me..." William's obsidian gaze studied the woman before him intently. "Then use that skill on me, trick me, for example...""Mr. Morgan!” Kaylee couldn't take it anymore and finally interrupted him.She even felt sorry for William. She bit her lip hard, taking a long time before saying, "Mr. Morgan, look at me. I'm Kaylee Lawson, not Lynn Watson.”When she mentioned Lynn’s name, William's hand that had been gripping her chin abruptly let go. The hint of drunkenness on his face vanished completely as he leisurely started putting his robe back on.Kaylee was a bit confused. What did this mean? Was William upset because she brought up Lynn? Well, that made sense... Lynn was probably the one thing he couldn't bear to talk about...Just as Kaylee was about to apologize..."Just as I thought, it wa
Kaylee only then noticed the strong scent of alcohol permeating the entire room. William seemed to be drinking liquor at the moment, the aroma in the room was the typical fragrance of red wine...It appeared that during this time, he must have consumed more than one type of alcohol in the room. Or perhaps... someone else had been here recently, drinking with him.Kaylee tried her best to view the situation with a normal mindset. Given William's status and appearance, as long as he was willing, countless women would eagerly jump into his bed without him even having to ask.And for someone of his stature to be willing to pretend to be her boyfriend to help her out - that was something she could only dream of. Moreover, with Andrew’s situation... she really had no better way to resolve it."What are you standing there for?" William rubbed his temples. "If you think it's not suitable here, then let's go to the bed.""No need, here is fine," Kaylee hurriedly interjected. "Your wound ha
“Alex’s hurt, come quickly," the call came through.Kaylee Lawson had just finished an eight-hour surgery and barely made it home when she received this call from her boyfriend Alex Morgan’s friend.Walking into the private room of the bar, she found a young girl sitting in Alex’s lap, arms wrapped around his neck. The girl's eyes were red, tears still clinging to her long lashes."Kaylee, her right foot is injured. Take a look," Alex said quickly.The girl looked at her with doe-like eyes. "Thank you, miss."Kaylee hesitated before kneeling down. But before she could even touch the girl's ankle..."Ouch, it hurts so much!" the girl cried out, burying her face in Alex’s chest."Kaylee, do you even know what you're doing?" Alex snapped."I haven't even touched her yet," Kaylee explained, looking up.Alex’s brows furrowed in anger. "If you didn't touch her, why is she in pain?" he asked, gently rubbing the girl's back.The stark contrast cut deep into Kaylee's heart. She had be...
