2022-03-25 20:00:33Steven's words were of no comfort to Lily. Lily's sobs soon escalated into loud, sorrowful wailing.
Compared to Edric, whatever Steven was going to do was just a drop in the bucket. Money was secondary to her. She loved Edric so much. After so many years of painstaking effort and work, she could not just give him up.
Faced with Lily crying, Steven handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears with. "Don't cry, Lily. I will definitely find you someone better than Edric!"
At that moment, a doctor came in to examine Steven’s condition. Lily stopped wailing at once. The doctor, noticing Lily's reddened eyes, told her, "Mr. Cook will be fine. You don't need to worry."
The doctor mistakenly believed that Lily was crying because she was worried about Steven. Steven did not bother explaining to the doctor too. It was then that Lily's phone rang. The caller turned out to be none other than Edric. Lily excused herself from the room and answered the call outside.<

Steven had assumed that Deborah had always been concerned about him. He even naively believed that Deborah took him as everything that revolved around her. But now Deborah suddenly said, "If something happens to you, what will happen to Lily and me in the future?" She didn't even think about Steven at all. Steven was positively upset. "Wait, I am sorry. I didn't mean that. I was just worried about you!" Deborah hurriedly explained herself. She knew that she had uttered the wrong words. "Honey, what can I do for you now?" "If you were genuinely worried about me, you would have stayed at home and not caused me any trouble. Visit me at the hospital when I need you to," Steven said. Deborah lingered at the hospital a while longer before leaving. She didn't head home but instead, she went to the beauty salon that she frequented. She arrived and was escorted to the VIP room. Heather, the staff member that serviced her regularly came up and asked, "W

Edric had always felt very guilty towards Lily. As a matter of fact, he felt that Margaret was the one responsible for putting Lily in such a state. Lily had such a bright future ahead of her but she was sucked into this whole predicament. After finding out that Steven and Deborah were behind all these, he felt even more sorry for Lily. His guilt towards Lily reached its peak after Marie told him about Lily and her infertility. Edric then decided to get engaged with Lily although his choice would put Irene in misery. For starters, he felt indebted to Lily. Though he didn't love her one bit, Lily had always seemed kind and gentle. He never expected Lily would do such a thing to Irene. He was not a fool. He knew that Freya was the mastermind behind all this. Edric lamented himself for making such a huge mistake. Because of whatever things he did to Irene, he had to end the relationship with Lily. Edric didn't completely blame Lily. He was still Lily's f

After that, Marie left San Fetillo and went to Alsburgh City. After more than ten years of hard work, she became a famous specialist. But this was not the life she wanted. If it wasn't for Steven and Myra, she would not have gotten into such a situation. She would be living lavishly with Malcom as his rich wife instead of being just a doctor. Although she was well- known in the medical world, she was nothing compared to those ladies living in rich families. If that incident hadn't happened, would she be in this situation?

After closing the private room door, Rowane seated herself opposite Marie, who had a very unpleasant look on her face. Marie asked, "Miss, what do you want from me?” Rowane stared at Marie and bit her lip. The woman in front of her looked somewhat similar to her. For some reason, she had a vague hint of expectation that Marie was her mother. Meanwhile, Marie looked at Rowane with disgust. Margaret had stated that she wanted Rowane to have children with Edric. In fact, both Rowane and Edric were pretty close. As a result, Marie subconsciously felt uncomfortable when she saw Rowane and spoke in a very unpleasant tone. "I..." Rowane pulled out a pendant from her pocket and put it on the table. "Do you recognize this pendant?" Marie's expression changed when she saw the pendant. She picked it up and inspected it carefully. "Why do you have this?" "Is it yours?” Rowane glanced at Marie eagerly. "Yes!" Marie picked up the pendant. "I

Later that night, Edric came home a little earlier than usual. He had lots of questions to ask Irene but didn't know where to start. Dania remarried Yohannes. Although Dave was not related to Irene by blood, he was her uncle by lineage regardless. Edric was upset to think how little he knew about Irene, even though they had been married for a good five years. Edric did inquire Irene about her family before the marriage. She claimed that her parents had passed away and she was left with only one uncle. At that, he did not have the slightest doubt. But even so, he didn't blame Irene for not telling the truth. Back then to him, going back home only meant spending some alone time with Irene. He didn't care what she was thinking. Married with such an incompetent husband, it was no wonder that Irene kept all her thoughts to herself. Edric dwelled in his own melancholy for a long time. Finally, after dinner, while strolling around the area with Irene, he tentatively

Edric had fallen asleep, but Irene was quietly contemplating something on her mind. Why did Edric throw her such a weird question that night? Why would he suddenly ask about Myra? What was he trying to find out? Or did he already figure something out? Since Irene could remember, Myra had always been very reluctant to talk about Dania. She would just brush the topic off and tell Irene that Dania had died. But if that was so, why was there no grave of Dania? Was Myra lying? Was Dania not actually dead? Did Edric find something out, and was that why he came to ask Irene about it? But what was the relationship between this matter and Edric? When Myra died, the only family Irene had left with was Thomas. He was the only one who knew about all this. Irene decided that she had to go back to check with Thomas. The next day, Irene returned to Thomas' residence. She chatted with him briefly before quickly inserting her question, "Uncle Thomas, I have a ques

Lily's blushing face instantly turned as pale as snow. Edric sneered and stated, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Cook family and tell Mr. Cook and Mrs. Cook about our affairs in person." John held on to Edric and they headed out to the car outside. John quickly started the car while Edric undid the button on his collar and ordered John to turn on the air conditioning. But it didn't lessen the heat in his chest. When he came back to celebrate Margaret's birthday, he hadn't intended to stay overnight. Before he came, he told John that he must come pick him up at night. It wasn’t because he was afraid Margaret would play tricks on him, but rather he was worried about leaving Irene at home alone. He hadn't expected Margaret would have such a plan. At the dinner earlier, she made him drink even though she knew he had gastritis. It was clear she was up to something. But he was not worried. He knew John would be coming to get him. Hence, he played along with Mar

She had promised to stay with Nathan and forgive him. However, the reality presented a bigger problem than she thought. Rowane was her younger sister, and they had the same blood flowing in their veins after all. She was not able to accept a man who had an affair with her younger sister. However, it was not a matter of whether she could accept what had happened or not. It was Rowane who was indeed in love with Nathan. When she observed her affection towards Nathan and remembered the fact that she was pregnant, Irene wished to persuade Nathan to accept Rowane. Ever since she had said that sentence at the hospital that day, Nathan avoided spending time alone with Irene. He did not want Irene to tell him to take responsibility for Rowane.

"Hush now, it's all in the past!" Irene patted her shoulder and comforted her gently, “Perhaps she has gone mad to escape from her guilt!" "Yes. If there is only pain left in a person's life, it is better to just die. Since she didn't want to die, going mad is the best way for her to get rid of the pain," Edric chipped in to comfort her. Nathan watched Irene and Rowane hugging and crying together as he stood by the side. He felt a mix of emotions. Irene was someone who emphasized a lot on relationships and affection. It would be impossible for him to be with Irene. He heaved a heavy sigh and thought, "How ill-fated we are!” Rowane overheard Nathan's sigh and glanced at him with eyes full of tears, “Nathan, I won't pester you anymore. Don't worry, I won't let this child affect you." "What nonsense are you spouting?" Irene glared at Rowane. The estrangement between her and Rowane vanished completely after the hug. She spat, "Nathan isn't that ki

Nathan rushed to the police station after receiving the call. When Rowane noticed Nathan's initial tender expression had turned hard, she felt incredibly guilty. She had never dreamed that the person she loved would be the same Nathan who had been Irene's guardian for the past nine years. Why was it that the person she liked always had something to do with Irene? First, it had been Edric. Now, it was Nathan. She was pregnant with Nathan's child now. As Nathan despised her, Rowane did not want Nathan to misunderstand her any further. The moment she saw Nathan, she told Nathan everything that had happened to her. Nathan had heard from Jordan that Rowane was a woman with an evil heart. So, he had begun to loathe her. Now, he knew that she had been deceived by Marie, and his hatred towards Rowane naturally dissipated. Hence, Nathan decided to bring Rowane back to Haverland.

Lily could not dodge the cup in time as water splashed on her face. The water washed away the makeup she had put on to bluff Steven, revealing her true colors. Steven was infuriated to see Lily going to such extreme measures to con him. He pointed at Lily and bellowed, "Get out of here, you b*tch!" "Dad, have you gotten things mixed up? I'm Lily. I'm your daughter, Lily.” “Get lost! You're an illegitimate child!" Steven's hands trembled as he spoke. Edric let out a snicker as he stood by the side and said, "Miss Cook, look at this!" Lily took over the report and glanced at the content, "Whose report is this?" "It's yours and Mr. Cook's. Do you still think that Mr. Cook is your biological father?" "This is impossible!” Lily was taken aback. She had always thought that she was Steven's daughter. Never in a million years would she think that she actually was not related to Steven at all.

The hospital staff were horrified to see Marie's obscene videos. Marie's image in the hospital had initially been excellent, so it was shocking to see such videos of her. People generally liked gossip, so employees who were familiar with each other began to secretly gossip about Marie, "I didn't expect that the seemingly noble and cold Dr. Walker’s private life would be so licentious!" "You're right! Look at these positions, haha! Just one look and I know that she's an expert in that field. What do you mean she's noble and cold? She is such a sl*t!" Everyone in the hospital, including the patients, had all watched Marie's obscene videos and they were all discussing it. However, Marie was oblivious to it. When she went to work, she found that the nurses in the hospital were looking at her differently, but she did not give it much thought. Marie had cooked nutritious soup for Lily and she brought it into Lily's ward, "Lily, drink it while it's hot!” Mar

“B*tch, tell me honestly, how did Rosa die?" Jackson questioned angrily. He too had received news about Rosa's death, and he was devastated. During that period of time, Jackson's heart was in a mess. He thought carefully and came to the conclusion that Rosa's death must had something to do with Loraine. He had believed that Tommy was Loraine's son before, but that was not the case anymore. Jackson thought that Loraine must have killed Rosa out of jealousy. Jackson had constantly been looking for Loraine, ready to take revenge. Pure hatred surged in Jackson's eyes upon seeing Loraine.

“We'll talk about Irene later. We have to deal with Lily's problem right now. You've come at the right time. When Lily wakes up, you should try to talk to her. She's too emotionally unstable right now," Marie said. "I know, I came here with the thought of persuading her," Deborah nodded. Lily's temper was generally pretty bad, and she was the only one who could persuade her. Deborah reached out and touched Lily's face, which was pale due to major blood loss, "How long has she been asleep? Nothing bad will happen right?" “Nothing bad will happen. Lily woke up in the morning. Her emotions were all over the place, that I had no choice but to ask someone to give her a sedative. She will wake up soon," Marie explained. Deborah was relieved upon hearing that, but she soon remembered Lily's children. Although Simon had said that Lily's children were healthy, Deborah was still worried, "Marie, where are Lily's children? Is there any problem with them?"
