"Alright, that's enough! You're still injured, so you should get some rest." Right now, he couldn't bring up Noelle because it would only make him feel worse. Xyla obediently closed her eyes.

Quentin got up and walked to the window to check his messages. He had just asked someone to contact the principal of Dragfort Medical School to inquire about Noelle's graduate program. But now, he didn't have time to go.

He postponed his meeting with the principal and his work for that afternoon, planning to stay here and watch over Xyla that night.

At 3:00 pm, Noelle sent him a photo. "Should we have this for dinner tonight?" The photo showed a plate of salad and braised salmon.

Quentin hesitated for a moment as he realized it would be cruel of him to tell Noelle that he wasn't going home that night. But he was so concerned about Xyla that he steeled himself and replied, "I have a business gathering tonight, and I won't be home until late. I won't be going over to your place today."

    Noelle stayed with Yvette at the hospital for the entire night. The next morning, Yvette had passed the observation period and was ready to leave. Noelle went to handle the discharge procedures and spotted a tall and slender figure at the payment counter.The man was engrossed in the prescription in his hand. After reading it, he made a phone call, presumably to verify something, and only left after confirming everything was correct. Noelle looked at his retreating figure, stunned. "That must be the husband of the woman in bed 15! He's so handsome!""Are you crushing on a patient's family member again? He's so devoted to his wife. His wife got injured, and he's been by her side for an entire day and night, taking care of her every need." There were two women next to her, gossiping about the handsome and tall figure before them. Noelle's breath hitched in her throat, and her heart began to ache. Who was the "wife" they were talking about? Was it Xyla?"The only person who could h

    Quentin couldn't stand the look she was giving him, as it made his heart ache. He held her hand and said, "I can explain, Elle!"Before she could respond, he led her all the way to the courtyard behind the hospital building. standing tall before her, his eyes were clouded with unease. "Xy got into a car accident yesterday, so I came here to keep her company. She doesn't have any family left, and her only brother is also dead. If I don't look after her, she won't even have the courage to live on!"Noelle scoffed inwardly. "A car accident? Xyla probably staged it herself!" She seemed pretty smug to her; she didn't look like someone who had lost the will to live. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Why did you lie to me, then?" For the first time, she'd felt a glimmer of hope for him and eagerly counted down the hours until evening. She had prepared a lavish meal and waited for him to come home so they could have dinner together. But he told her that he had a business gathering that w

    Noelle tried to envision a family of four, having a son and a daughter, a loving husband, and a blissful life. Yet, she felt that it was all so elusive and unreal.There was a woman's silhouette behind a large tree nearby. Noelle caught sight of it. she raised her head from his embrace and looked at him expectantly. "It's my birthday today."When he heard that, Quentin froze. He hadn't realized it was her birthday that day. "I'm sorry, I forgot." His heart was filled with guilt. In the past, Janet would always call them early in the morning and invite them to celebrate her birthday at Lowe Mansion in the evening. He'd also give her a gift, even though he hadn't put much thought into preparing it. Now that he wanted to build a life with her, it was time for him to show her how much he cared, but he had forgotten her birthday."I'm so sorry," he said, filled with regret. "Happy birthday!""I'll be waiting for you." Noelle gazed deeply into his eyes before getting up and leaving.

    Gabriel happened to be passing by. When he overheard Yvette's rant, a smile crept up his face. Lost in thought, Noelle didn't notice him. After helping Yvette into the car, she asked, "Are you sure you can go home in this state?"Her brows drew together as she pondered for a moment. "I can't possibly go home in this condition. Can I crash at your place, Noelle?"Noelle agreed. "Sure."Yvette continued, "That wretched woman is always up to something! One minute she's broken her leg, and the next she's having an asthma attack. And when all else fails, she gets into a car accident. I mean, she's either in the ER or on her way there. How is she still alive after all that?"Noelle smiled wryly as she thought, "No matter what happens to Xyla, Quentin will always save her.""Let's not talk about her anymore, Yvette." She didn't want Xyla to ruin her day. Yvette arched her brow and said no more. When the girls returned to Noelle's small apartment, Janet called. "Elle, come over to Low

    The call went through, but no one answered even after it rang for a long time. Frustrated, Yvette called again. This time, the call was cut off after just a few rings. Yvette was so angry that she almost threw her phone away. "My cousin must be with that little bitch right now!"Noelle's hope had slowly withered away over time and was now almost completely gone. After hearing Yvette's call being cut off again, she realized that Quentin hadn't missed her call; he just didn't want to answer it.He was probably keeping Xyla company at the moment. It was foolish of her to believe him. A cold, bitter sensation spread through her chest, inch by inch, until it was all she could feel. Noelle felt as if her heart had been torn apart. As the clock struck 12:00 am, her last shred of hope was completely crushed. She cleared the dining table of its contents. Just then, her phone buzzed. Noelle thought Quentin had sent her a message, and the flicker of hope that had died out in her heart sud

    This place was a melting pot for people from all walks of life. Even though it was way past midnight, the street food stalls were still bustling with activity. There were shirtless men drinking and grilling skewers, as well as groups of women getting together after their late-night shifts.Yvette plopped down in a chair, looking nothing like a young lady from a wealthy family. "We're ready to order, ma'am!" John had never been to a place like this before. Born into an affluent family, his life had always followed a strict, well-defined routine. This was his first time here, yet he didn't show any signs of disdain. He sat across from Yvette and looked at the menu with a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. "I've seen these food trucks, but I've never tried them. Thanks to you guys, I can finally give them a shot today."John had eaten an in-flight meal for dinner, which was notoriously known for being bad. He hadn't eaten much, so he was quite hungry at the moment. After ordering a f

    As Quentin thought about how he had promised Noelle that he would celebrate her birthday with her yesterday evening, he felt a burning anxiety in his chest. He had gone back on his word again. She must be furious. All he could do now was buy her a full set of jewelry and sincerely apologize. Quentin thought she would forgive him then.Just then, the door to the emergency room swung open. A doctor wheeled Xyla out and called out, "Is anyone here a family member of Xyla Cadwell?"Quentin turned around and strode over. "I am!"The doctor fumed, "You call yourself her husband? The patient was injured, and yet you still allowed her to go out in the rain? Are you trying to kill her? Don't just focus on your work! You need to look after your wife's mental health as well. Your wife is showing signs of depression!""Depression?" Quentin was dumbstruck. He didn't even realize what the doctor had called him. Ava wept, "Ever since she was discharged from the hospital last time, Ms. Cadwell

    "I've already asked Ella to send them a legal letter."Yvette stopped in her tracks.… For three consecutive days, Quentin stayed by Xyla's side, tending to her every need. He felt relieved after she calmed down. Then, he got ready to go find Noelle. He hadn't spent their first birthday together since they decided to start over. He figured she must've been very disappointed, especially since he had promised her. He glanced at the gift beside him and thought, "Surely, I could at least express my apologies with this extravagant gift that was worth more than a hundred million dollars!"He returned to the villa first, took a shower, changed into a brand-new suit, and headed straight to Noelle's studio. As soon as he left, Xyla used Ava's phone to send Noelle a message. she was well aware that if she had sent it from her own phone number, Noelle wouldn't read it. But Noelle hadn't saved Ava's phone number, so she would undoubtedly read it. Xyla: "My bad, Noelle. On the night of

    "Sorry, but if I ever get married, it definitely won't be to either of you."Noelle had originally come to visit Christian, but now she didn't feel like staying anymore. She was beyond frustrated.Christian's sharp, dangerous eyes narrowed in an instant, brimming with hostility as he locked his gaze on Noelle. Quentin's handsome face darkened as well, his mood turning stormy.Noelle spun around and walked out."We'll see about that," Quentin muttered, getting up to leave as well.As he passed by the clinic where Noelle worked, he cast a glance in that direction before heading out.Near the end of the workday, Russ called. "Ms. Xanthos, Mr. Xanthos has arranged for you to meet a boxing champion. Are you free now? I can take you to meet him."Noelle couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and bitterness. She had lived 24 years, and only now did he care about whether she had any self-defense skills. Isn't it a little late for that?Still, she went.After one session, she was dr

    Noelle quietly closed the door behind her. Leonard glanced over, saw it was her, and put away his phone. "He just fell asleep. Ms. Xanthos, you should head home and rest. I'll keep watch tonight," he said softly.Noelle shook her head. "He took the knife for me. How could I go home? I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. I'd rather stay here and keep an eye on him."She sat down on the couch, her gaze heavy with concern as she looked at Christian sleeping.Leonard nodded. "Alright, you stay here. I'll step out for a bit," he said before leaving the room.Noelle nodded.Christian's phone, sitting on the nightstand, pinged with a WhatsApp notification.Noelle walked over, picked up the phone, and saw a message from someone with the nickname "The Blomming Fifties.""What a flashy name," she thought with a faint smirk.But for some reason, curiosity tugged at her—she suddenly felt a strong urge to peek into Christian's private world as if she might uncover something hidden beneath t

    Noelle remained silent.In Dragfort, ever since Quentin had learned early that morning about Christian taking a knife for Noelle, he had locked himself in his office. It had been three hours now.The morning executive meeting was canceled, and his client appointments were rescheduled. Senior staff members who needed his signature on documents stood hesitating at the door, feeling the oppressive atmosphere even from outside the office.Department heads waiting to give their reports also lingered at the door, too intimidated to enter.In the end, they all turned their pleading eyes toward Martin.But even Martin was hesitant to go in.After all, he had witnessed the weight of Quentin's emotions—shock, frustration, and a deep sense of defeat—that had cast a heavy, oppressive mood over the office.Martin made a call to Dennis, knowing only he could possibly get through to Quentin now."Mr. Jackman, you need to come over," Martin said quietly, making sure to step into a quieter co

    Even though Christian was in obvious pain, he forced himself not to make a sound.Such a stubborn fool.The door knocked twice, and Leonard walked in. Seeing Noelle, he greeted her, "Ms. Xanthos."Noelle's eyes were red, but she didn't respond.Christian opened his eyes slightly and said, "Don't tell anyone I'm injured."Leonard nodded."Tell them I'm on a business trip," Christian added.Leonard raised an eyebrow, "Bro, with a wound like that, how long do you think this 'trip' will last before people catch on?"Christian shot him a cold glare, and Leonard quickly relented, "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll handle it."Christian closed his eyes again, waves of pain crashing over him like a relentless tide.Suddenly, he opened his eyes once more. "Silly girl."Noelle paused, her tear-filled eyes looking at him.A smile tugged at the corner of Christian's mouth. "Get out for a bit. You look terrible."Noelle's lips twitched as her damp lashes fluttered, and a surge of unexplainabl

    Just as the man raised the knife for a second strike, the security team arrived and swiftly pinned him down.Noelle heard a low grunt behind her, followed by Christian's pained chuckle. "Good thing it wasn't him."Noelle's heart clenched as she turned to see Christian, clutching his shoulder, slumped against her legs.He was wearing a beige coat, now stained with a large patch of blood around his shoulder.Christian was rushed to emergency surgery, but Noelle remained frozen in her chair, her mind replaying his words, "Good thing it wasn't him."Who wasn't it? Quentin?Why did he say that? Why did he act this way?The image of Christian's blood-soaked coat lingered in her mind. The wound—how deep was it?Noelle sat there, numb and lost in thought for an unknown period, until Michael appeared.He glanced at her through the doorway, but without a word, he continued walking past.A little while later, Kara gently patted her shoulder. "They've moved him to a room. You should go s

    Emmie smiled and placed a few more ravioli on Noelle's plate. "Then eat a little more. It's your mom's first time cooking, and once you're in the Utopia States, you won't have this."It wasn't like she had never cooked before—she had made instant noodles when she was alone.Noelle ate a small bowl of ravioli without pausing, her stomach now full and round. Her eyes welled up with tears, though whether it was from happiness or something else, no one could tell.After dinner, Noelle stayed for a bit before leaving.Emmie watched Noelle's car disappear down the driveway before finally going upstairs.Michael, leaning back on the bed, heard her soft footsteps approaching and lifted his eyelids.The bedroom was dark, and when Emmie stepped in, her gaze met Michael's dark, piercing eyes. She paused at the doorway, and he continued watching her."Lia must be blind. She couldn't tell if it was you or the driver," Emmie said coldly, walking straight to the other side of the bed and pulli

    Emmie was at a loss for words.Michael said, "Your daughter's leaving for the Utopia States soon. You should take this time to spend with her."Emmie's breath hitched. "Elle agreed?"Michael nodded. "Yes."It was the best way for Noelle to get away from those two men and focus on her own growth.After a night's rest, Noelle felt much better the next morning. Emmie called her, inviting her to Gentle Glades after work.What Noelle didn't expect was to see Michael there as well.He was lounging on the couch in casual clothes, flipping through a medical journal. Emmie, wearing an apron, seemed to be busy in the kitchen. When Noelle walked in, Emmie immediately came out."Elle!" Emmie's gentle face was filled with warmth as she took Noelle's hand.Noelle felt a bit disoriented.In her memory, Emmie's life was filled with books and work, never with the kitchen. And Michael—she hadn't seen him so relaxed and calm, casually reading a magazine on the couch, in over a decade.It felt

    Michael couldn't forget the look Elijah had given him that day—a mocking smile, full of meaning. Elijah slowly pulled back, revealing Emmie's curled-up body underneath him.Without a word, Michael opened his phone and pulled up a social media app. He tossed the phone to Emmie. "Take a look for yourself."Emmie looked down and saw a video posted by Elijah just minutes earlier. It was of her feeding him. She watched in disbelief, then replayed it. The account was undeniably Elijah's."Scroll down. There's more," Michael's voice drifted from the couch.Emmie's fingers moved down the screen, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Michael sitting with his legs crossed, taking a sip of coffee handed to him by the housekeeper.Further down, she found a photo posted by Elijah a month ago, showing her preparing his medicine. The footage seemed to be taken from security cameras.But none of these posts had appeared on her social media feed.She had never seen them on her phone.Mich

    Quentin didn't deny it.Noelle's chest tightened as she remembered that day in Ocean City when Christian had said Gillian deserved to be slapped. Now, it all made sense.At the time, she had sarcastically asked him if he would treat her the same way once he got tired of her.His response had been, "Do you think I'm tired of her, and that's why I did it?"Now she understood. Christian had known all along that it was Quentin who had called Gillian to Ocean City.A wave of frustration swelled in Noelle's chest. Her fingers clenched tightly as the memory of Christian's sweet words clashed with the thought of him being with Gillian. Bitterness gnawed at her.Just then, the door opened again, and a strong, steady figure entered. His gaze swept silently over the two men in the room before he walked straight to the bed."Elle?""Clement!" At the sight of him, Noelle's eyes brimmed with tears."Let's go home," Clement said as he turned and carefully lifted her onto his back. Noelle res
