Patrick was as overbearing as ever. And I pushed him hard. However, the harder I pushed him, the tighter he held me. And the more fervently he kissed me. Although it was a cold winter night, Patrick's body was burning hot. Holding me in his arms, he seemed to intend to burn me up. However, for some reason, right at this moment, I couldn't be calmer. I struggled and finally broke free from his arms in success. Covering my red lips which had been swollen because of the kissing with both hands, I hesitated for a moment and said, "Patrick Cowell, I'm sorry. Disregard the feelings I have for you, with my own sense of morality and my current identity, I won't allow anything to happen between you and me." Sitting in a chair, Patrick looked at me and nodded, "Okay then. I won't force you. What you have to do now is to wait for the day when you come back to my side." ...... I looked at him, feeling extremely gloomy in my heart. Judging from Patric
Hearing Shelton's words, the master of the Reid Family stopped being too concentrated on the gifts. However, because he liked Shelton's gifts very much, he intended to tell Shelton everything, which was self-evident. Shelton said, "Mr. Reid, I want to know where your second daughter is now." Upon hearing this, the master of the Reid Family, who was originally overjoyed, became serious immediately. He sat up straight all of a sudden and said with some displeasure, "I only have two sons. I don't have any daughter." "Oh." Hearing so, Shelton said, "Then I'll take these two gifts back." Shelton looked as gentle as ever with a slight smile on his face. Even so, others could felt that instead of joking, he was telling the truth. As he spoke, he reached out to close the box. Seeing this, the master of the Reid Family became anxious and couldn't help but want to stop Shelton, only to think that with his identity, it wasn't appropriate for him to do so.
Looking at the doorman, in an instant, I felt that even if Shelton presented the inkstone whose price was thousands of times higher than these money combined, the doorman wouldn't bother to glance at it. The doorman accepted the money and counted it two or three times, saying to us with a bright smile, "Wait a minute." As he said that, he went in and made a phone call. Within less than two minutes, from a distance, I saw a nurse dressed in a down coat show up at the door and run over at us. Looking quite old, the nurse should be in her forties. After running over, she looked at us and said reluctantly, "Come in with me." At this time, we wanted to see Jessica the most. So we didn't bother with these. We followed the nurse inside. Walking inside, I looked around and found that several trees in the yard had indeed withered and become lifeless rather than become seasonally withered in winter days. There was no vitality in the whole hospital.
It was the first time I had heard such words. For no reason, with tears welling up in my eyes, I felt extremely sour in my heart. I endured physical discomfort and wanted to go into the ward, only to be stopped by Shelton suddenly. He said with a bit of hesitation in his eyes, "Be mentally prepared." I looked at him, feeling more impulsive in my heart. I stepped forward directly and looked into the ward. With a glance, I burst out crying. In the entire ward, apart from a toilet, there was only a bed and a table. It was probably because we were on the uppermost floor that I sensed it extremely cold in the ward. Dressed in a coat, I could even sense a slight feeling of chill on my face. A woman was sitting on the bed. Wearing a set of patient's uniforms whose color was indistinguishable, she got her top unbuttoned. She didn't wear anything inside, revealing a pair of flat boobs. She looked so skinny. As her pale and wrinkled skin was attach
"What?" Hearing her words, I was incredulous, "Who paid the remaining fees for her?" "As for that, I have no idea about it." The nurse shrugged. Then, she asked me to fill out some forms for transferring Jessica to another mental hospital. While Shelton went to contact his connections and get Jessica transferred out of here. After filling out the forms, I sat there thinking about the nurse's words. After finishing contacting his connections, Shelton said to the nurse, "We will transfer Jessica to the rehabilitation center of Holy Spirit Hospital." As the nurse heard these words, her face immediately changed. And she said, "Who are you? It is not like you can transfer her to Holy Spirit Hospital at will." Shelton looked at the nurse, thought for a moment, and said, "My name is Shelton Cowell. At the Holy Spirit Hospital, I am.." "It turned out to be you, Dr. Shelton!" Before Shelton could finish his words, the nurse immediately knew who he was,
Shelton put his cell phone into his pocket, looked at me, and shook his head, saying, "No. I've called the Dean of the Oasis Hospital. He said that it happened 30 years ago. At that time, it wasn't as informative as the Internet Age now. Moreover, the man came with cash. So there was no way to check his identity." "Did he pay by cash?" I couldn't help feeling a little incredulous, saying, "According to the nurse, the man paid 50 years' hospitalization fees in one go. Moreover, there were all kinds of other expenses. Thirty years ago, it would cost at least a million dollars. At that time, he could afford to present that much cash..." The more I thought about it, the more complicated I thought the man was. Hearing what I said, Shelton wasn't moved in the slightest. He nodded and said, "With my guessing, if the man didn't fail in his business, he should be a big shot in City Y now." Nobody surely would pay for my mother's hospitalization for no reason. Howev
After hearing Glenn's words, I was stunned for a moment. Then I smiled, stopped what I was doing, and squatted down. Hugging him in my arms, I said seriously, "Caroline is my sister, twin sister." "Really?" Blinking his big eyes, Glenn asked curiously, "Then, does she have the same face as yours, Mommy?" "Yes." I nodded. "Wow! Can I see her?" Glenn was so excited. I frowned slightly and showed a face of regret. Pinching Glenn's little face, I told him seriously, "Mommy's sister has gone somewhere pretty far away. For a long while, she won't come back." "Doesn't that mean I can't see her?" Glenn pouted his tender mouth, looking a little unhappy. As I was about to say something to make him happy, Lacy's voice came from behind, "Young Master, it's time to have some snacks. It is your favorite chocolate cake today." "I'm coming!" Within once second only, Glenn grinned at once, revealing two rows of teeth in his little mouth. He turned a
Shelton didn't take my words seriously. Standing in front of me, he said, "I'm fully devoted to your business. And I once said that it couldn't be more natural for me to do these things for you." He stood there, blocking the white light in the corridor behind him. And the look in his eyes was as gentle as before. For a moment, I mustered up the courage and asked, "Did you do anything illegal or not? I eavesdropped on Grandpa Cowell's conversation before. According to him, it is he who helped you settle what you had done before..." Hearing what I said, Shelton, who had been calm, was somewhat swayed. After a while, he said, "Let's get into the car first." On the way downstairs, I walked behind him. Looking at his tall figure, I guessed randomly as to what he was going to say later. I felt the journey seemed to be quite long. Finally, we arrived at the underground garage. We got in the car. Shelton started the car first, turned on the heating sys
