"Okay." Noelle finally felt reassured and nodded.Zion really wanted to comfort the young lady a little more, but he was at work, and he had no time to spare. "I have to get back to work now. If you need anything or have any questions, just give me a call!"Noelle nodded again, and Zion went off to work, looking quite dashing in his white coat. Noelle turned around and left the hospital. After she left, Quentin also left Xyla's ward. As soon as he got into the car, Martin said, "We've got an update on Xyla, Mr. Lowe."Quentin had just placed a listening device under Xyla's bed. The device was linked to Martin's phone. "Go ahead, play it," Quentin said, leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed.Martin launched the listening app, and they heard Xyla's smug voice. "Gabriel, Quentin said he'll marry me as soon as I'm in better shape. You need to get a move on! You had so much time to win Noelle over; what's taking so long?"Xyla couldn't rest easy until Gabriel had slept with N
Noelle pondered for a moment. "Let's call her Nellie! Nellie Xanthos!"John chuckled, smitten by her cuteness. "That sounds perfect."He stroked Nellie's head and said, "You have a new owner now, so be a good girl and listen to her, okay?"Nellie hummed in response. "So, what do you plan to do now?" he asked, his expression growing solemn. He hadn't expected Quentin to agree to the divorce, but considering the rumors that he was divorcing Noelle to be with Xyla, his doubts were eased.Noelle cocked her brow. "I'm going to study hard and become a doctor."Then, she smiled and lowered her head to talk to Nellie. "My place is a bit on the small side, Nellie, so you might feel a little cramped over there. But I promise to take you out for walks every day, okay? I hope you won't be too upset about it!"Unable to speak, Nellie nuzzled her hand affectionately. For a moment, John felt disappointed, but he soon came to terms with it. The age gap between them was just too great; her fa
Nellie spat at Quentin again. Quentin was ready to take that damned thing out. Noelle couldn't help but laugh. She bent down and gave the alpaca a big hug. "Good job, Nellie!"He looked at her in disbelief. "You named her Nellie?"Noelle straightened up and arched her brow. "Yep!"Quentin was at a loss for words. He tossed her the book and left. Once he was outside, he found his clothing unbearably gross. He pulled out his phone and wallet and tossed his coat into the trash can.Just then, his phone chimed. After getting into his car, Quentin checked his phone and realized Xyla had sent him a series of wedding gown pictures. "Which one of these should I wear for our wedding, Quint?"Quentin felt a strong physical revulsion toward Xyla. He had no desire to reply to her messages and deleted her from his contacts. Xyla had tested his limits countless times, leading him to block her a while back. He had only unblocked her after she was diagnosed with leukemia.The fact that Xyla wa
"The Utopia States branch needs you more than we do," Quentin stated unequivocally, leaving no room for discussion. "Alright, please make the necessary arrangements. The new finance director will be taking over your position shortly."Quinn stormed out of the CEO's office. Mark had told her to make the most of the opportunity, yet Quentin was transferring her! In the heat of the moment, she went straight to see Mark.Soon, Quentin received a call from an angry Mark. "Why are you transferring Quinn?" He assumed Quentin was going to take his advice and express his feelings to Quinn. To his dismay, Quentin was transferring Quinn to another country. Quentin responded casually, "This is a routine personnel transfer within our company. As an employee, Ms. Walsh has the option of either accepting the transfer or submitting her resignation."Mark was at a loss for words. In the end, he snapped, "You're such a fool!"After hanging up the phone, he had no choice but to reassure Quinn. "Why
After hearing what Quentin said, Ava told Xyla, "Mr. Lowe said he's coming right over! He even canceled a business meeting for you. Ms. Cadwell, you're so lucky to have someone like him looking out for you!"Basically, she wanted those well-to-do women to hear her, so they could see just how important Xyla is to Quentin. After hearing that, the women felt even more relieved that they hadn't wasted their efforts on the wrong person.Quentin arrived shortly after, his demeanor cold and stern. He strode straight to the woman in the bed and asked, "Are you okay, Xy?"Due to her frailty, Xyla couldn't get up from the ground after the fall. Even though she wasn't injured, her eyes were brimming with tears as she said, "I thought I'd never see you again, Quint."With trembling hands, she reached out to him. In reality, she was just putting on a show for those well-to-do women; she wanted to see just how much Quentin cared about her. Quentin forced himself to hold her thin hand. He sat o
Lorraine was at a loss for words. "I can't tell you; all I can say is that he's not Quentin, so stop overthinking!"Lorraine had no idea why Noelle would think that person was Quentin, but she wasn't about to tell her that the man was her father-in-law, Mark."Are you sure it's not him?" Noelle choked out. Heaven knew how miserable she had been these past few days; she felt like her world was falling apart after being betrayed by her husband and best friend."Of course!" Lorraine reiterated, exasperated. Looking into her tearful eyes, she could tell that Noelle had been stewing over her thoughts these past few days. However, she couldn't figure out why Noelle would think that person was Quentin. Noelle forced a smile. "So, I got it all wrong?""Yes, of course! As low as I might be, I'd never go after my best friend's husband!" Lorraine chuckled.Noelle wiped away her tears and chuckled. "I didn't think you would either." Lorraine rolled her eyes at her. "Why'd you jump to that
As soon as Noelle left, Janet picked up the bag and swung it at Quentin with all her might. "You're unbelievable; you had such a wonderful wife, yet you just had to neglect her! If you even think about marrying Xyla Cadwell, I'll tear you apart! You little shit!"Quentin simply shielded his head with his arm, making no attempt to evade his mother's blows as she took her frustration out on him. When she exhausted herself and was catching her breath, he straightened up and asked, "What's wrong with Xyla? At least she won't let your jewelry collect dust in the cabinet.""Why are you still pushing my buttons, you little shit?" Janet's temper flared again, and she raised her tattered bag to hit him again. But he was already out of reach.…Meanwhile, Gabriel rushed into the bidding site for the Southport project with the revised bid that had been hastily drafted by his team based on the bid price provided by Xyla. However, when the winning bid was announced, he was dumbfounded, as the
Noelle had come to get some study materials from Zion. She'd texted him yesterday asking if he had any pertinent materials for that book, and he'd said he did. As soon as she arrived on the floor where the hematology department was located, she found Zion, dressed in a white lab coat, standing at the entrance of a ward. He looked like he was about to do his rounds, but for some reason, he hadn't gone in. Noelle walked over and called out, "Professor Jenkins?" When she reached the door of the ward, she took a look inside and froze. Xyla buried her face in Quentin's chest as he held her close, and the two of them seemed lost in their own world. Noelle just stood there, staring, not sure how she felt.Zion cleared his throat. "Let me get you those materials first!" It was such a touching moment that he didn't dare to interrupt.Quentin heard Zion's voice and took the opportunity to push Xyla away. "Dr. Jenkin's here." He rose to his feet and stiffened when his eyes landed on the w
