I looked down with a wry smile. "In fact, as you said before, I don't know what charm I have that can make both of them addicted to me.' "However, Shelton really injected the virus into Glenn." I told Melissa all the recent symptoms of Glenn and Shelton's conditions to me. After hearing what I said, Melissa looked very serious. In order to make sure, she asked me again, "Do you dare to swear that every word you said is true?" "I do." I looked at Melissa firmly. "If I lie, I will die a horrible death!" Melissa snorted at my oath. But it didn't mean that she didn't believe what I said. She looked at me with a serious look. "What are you going to do then? Are you really going to marry him?" "I don't know." I shook my head and said, "But no matter what, I can't watch Glenn die." "..." I looked at Melissa. "You are also a mother. You know how it feels. Even if let me give up Patrick, I can not give up Glenn." If I could
I hung up the phone and drove to Glorious Light Hospital. The Glorious Light Hospital today was very different from before. It used to be desolate, but now it was crowded. When I drove in, the line just to get into the parking lot took me nearly 20 minutes. When I parked the car, I sat in the car and thought about it for a long time. "When I go to Shelton, how should I talk to him about Shirley." "Glenn had already taken the medicine three times. After the fourth time, if Shelton didn't give the antidote to me, Glenn might..." I didn't dare to think about the consequences. This was my only chance. After thinking it over, I took a deep breath, got off the car and went straight to Shelton's office. His office was on the top floor of the hospital's administrative building. I walked all the way, but I didn't see a single person. At the door of Shelton's office, I gently knocked on the door twice. Soon, the door opened.
She figured out what was on my mind at once. As she should be. A woman who could be with Shelton for such a long time must be shrewd. Without hiding anything, I sat there and said, "Miss Shirley, you're right." I understood that either Shirley or Shelton were both smart guys. Neither of them was stupid. It was impossible to let me play matchmaker for them without being found out by both of them. Shirley's expression was still calm when she heard this. "Go ahead, what's the matter?" "I hope you and Dr. Shelton can get back together." I said my ultimate purpose directly. After hearing what I said, Shirley was stunned at first, but soon smiled and said, "His heart is with you. Isn't it strange that you talk about this with me?" "No." I looked at Shirley. "Shelton got no feelings in front of me." After all, we were all middle-aged women. There was no need for me to keep this matter a secret. Hearing me say this, Shirley was
The office fell into silence, or maybe their voices were too low for me to hear. Since I came here, I decided to stay. I wanted to see what's going on. I walked over, put my hand on the door handle, and gently pressed it. The door opened a little. I heard Kelsi said. "Well, since I can't get it, then I won't let you get it either. We'll have a life-and-death struggle." As soon as she finished her words, I heard Shelton said. "Who's there?" Obviously, he noticed me. I couldn't continue eavesdropping, so I opened the door and went in. They looked at me, and Shelton's expression was a little surprised. As for Kelsi, she was surprised at first, but soon a smug smile flashed across her face. Kelsi opened her mouth first. "What a coincidence, we are just talking about you." There was a hint of impatience in Shelton's expression. He asked, "Why are you here?" I stood where I was and said with a cold expression, "Today is the da
Inside the box was a diamond ring. Although I didn't know much about diamonds, this one was bigger than any diamonds I had seen on the counter of the jewelry store. In addition, there was a circle of small diamonds around it, which made it look very amazing in size. "This... is too expensive." I wanted to pull my hand back from Shelton subconsciously. I didn't know much about diamonds, but this diamond was so big. Such a precious diamond ring, I... Maybe it was not because the diamond was too precious, but because it came from Shelton. He held my hand tightly in his big palm. Feeling my resistance, he didn't care about it at all. He put the box on the table, then showed it to my ring finger, but he didn't wear it. I was very resistant to it in my heart. He looked at my hand with his head down. I couldn't see his expression clearly. I only heard him say, "The virus in Glenn's body should have produced resistance to this medici
The bartender quickly changed liquor, and soon, he brought me another glass. I looked at the glass carefully and found that there was not much difference with the previous one. Because of the experience before, I drank a little slowly this time. I tasted a little first. Sure enough, the liquor, which had been mixed in this way, its flavor became richer at once. I sat there and kept drinking. Perhaps after the liquor was mixed, it became more acceptable for me, so I drank more easily. When I drank several cups, the bartender brought me a plate of fruit. While I was eating, a man came over and said to the bartender, "A cup of 'Encounter'." The bartender didn't say anything and turned around to mix drinks. Soon, a glass of spirit was placed. The man next to me pushed the spirit to me and said, "Beauty, this is for you to celebrate our encounter." Maybe it was because I drank the first sip too quick, so I felt a little dizz
Not knowing how long it had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me into the house. It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my eyes a little bit, looked around at the scene in front of me, and realized that I was home. Our home. I was carried upstairs by Shelton. Lying on the spacious and soft bed, I was in a mess. What would happen next? "What if he really wants to..." "I can't say no to it anyway." "After all, I will marry him tomorrow." I just laid there. I heard his footsteps coming from far to me. He walked to me and sat on the bed. When I was waiting for him to do something, I felt he put something on my left ring finger. An ice-cold thing. The ring. He put on the ring for me again. I felt like a poisonous needle had pierced into my heart. It didn't look like a big deal, but the poison inside was dispersing. I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling. "Shelton, I don't want
Shelton looked at me, and his eyes were cold. It was a feeling of fending me off for thousands of miles. For the sake of Glenn, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me." Shelton looked at me saying nothing. I didn't know what he meant. I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next. "What else does he want me to do?" "Does he want to have sex with me?" "It's okay. For the sake of Glenn, I can do anything." My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything would happen to me. After a while, Shelton put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said to me, "Let's go." "OK!" I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him. When he went out, I followed him. We sat in his car together. Although a night had passed, the smell of alcohol lingered in his car. I was a
After the wedding, our honeymoon plan was postponed because Rosalie was too young and Patrick's legs had not yet fully recovered. I had been resting at home all along. Sometimes I would talk to Nancy about my work. It was March with spring blossoms when Rosalie was 100 days old. Early in the morning, Patrick went out as usual, and I saw him off at the door. He held my face, kissed my forehead gently, and said softly, "Pack your daily necessities this morning. We'll go to our new home this afternoon." "New home? Where is it? Why didn't you mention it before?" I was stunned. I hadn't heard anything about the new home from Patrick so far. He looked mysterious and tidied up the messy hair on my face. "You will know when we arrive in the afternoon." After that, without waiting for me to ask more questions, he glanced at his watch and hurried out. "A new home?" I thought about it carefully. After getting married to Patrick, I
Patrick and I held a wedding when Rosalie was 100 days old. Although he wanted to hold a grand banquet, I refused to do so. Mostly, I was too old to care about the formalities anymore. But I understood that it was Patrick's heart for me, and I did not refuse to hold the wedding. We just needed to call some good friends and have a Simple banquet. Patrick couldn't convince me, so he naturally agreed. In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day. Shirley sent me the wedding dress. Because it was a mini wedding, only seven or eight tables were available. Most of the guests came from my studio and Towering High Company. Everyone was familiar with each other. In order to solve the marriage problem of the older single women in my studio, Nancy and I also made a special effort on the seating row. We specifically put single men and women of marriageable age at one table, expecting them to develop their relationship. Early
Listening to Shirley's words, I truly felt lucky for Shelton. Fortunately, he returned. Fortunately, he returned to Shirley's side. Back to the person who loved him. Michael Blake was hired as defense counsel in Shelton's case. I went to find Patrick and asked him about the case. He told me Shelton had locked Emily up for a while, but he soon let her go. But after that, Emily asked Shelton for money. Shelton gave her some. After Emily spent all the money, she was desperate and went to the police. She wanted to use this method to force Shelton to give her money. When I heard Patrick's words, I thought that Emily was too naïve. If this were true, then someone might help her. But it was she who exposed the video in the first place, and everyone knew that. She had made the choice. Now everything she said just made it worse. Emily had no money, so she could only find the assigned lawyer to file the lawsuit. In the first
She looked terrible, even her makeup was crying off. Only one night had passed, but she seemed to have aged a few years. She looked at us and asked, "How is father doing?" "The operation was successful." Patrick answered, but his expression looked bad. Dulcie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Good." Then she turned around and was about to leave. Patrick said, "Aunt Dulcie, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Roger used you." "I blame myself for being stupid." Dulcie stood there, with her back to us and her head lowered. "I know it quite well in my heart. How could such a handsome, good and young man like him fall in love with me? But I still hold a trace of luck in my heart, thinking about what if it's true?" She didn't go on but left with her head down. I was a little worried. "Will your aunt be fine?" "Don't worry. She is a strong woman." After Patrick said that, he patted me on the shoulder. "You should go to
Patrick's words were like a sharp sword that pierced into Roger's heart. Roger stood there. Although he looked calm, he lost all his momentum. At this moment, the ambulance arrived. Although Dulcie was angry and hard to accept it, she could tell what was more important. She opened the door and let the doctor in. The doctor examined Ned first, and then quickly carried him into the ambulance. Because of the small space in the ambulance, only two people were allowed to accompany Ned. Sheridan and Melissa got in. Once they left, it was just me, Patrick, Dulcie, and Roger left in the room. "I'll ask the driver to drive the car over." Patrick took out his phone and called the driver. Then I supported him to go out. Dulcie and Roger stood there without saying a word. Patrick did not talk to them either. He went out with me and got in the car. We decided to order the servants to take care of Glenn first. We cal
Hearing his words, Sheridan looked gloomy on the side. Patrick held me in his arms, "You seem to care about the affairs of the Cowell Family so much. Each time we have some disputes, you will help us enthusiastically. Now you are making a move on my aunt, aren't you?" "No." After finishing his words, Roger imitated Patrick and held Dulcie in his arms, saying, "Dulcie and I love each other sincerely." ...... I looked gloomy. It wasn't that I didn't believe in December Romance. However, the age gap between them was so large. As Patrick's aunt, Dulcie was quite good-looking. It was just that she, who was old, had encountered too many unpleasant things in the past few years, making her meaner and harsher. As for Roger by her side... From all aspects, every woman lusted for him. He, who wasn't poor, surely could get whatever woman he wanted with ease. Indeed, in every way, there was no way that he would take a fancy to Dulcie. No w
"All right." I nodded. I would marry Patrick soon. Because of the things taking place in the past, the Cowell Family didn't have a good impression of me. If I arrived there late because of getting changed this time, it wouldn't be worth it. Holding Patrick's hand, I went downstairs with him. Coming out early, we didn't see many cars on the road. When we arrived at the Cowell Family's mansion, it was exactly 6:30 p.m. By the time we went in, it had been quite lively inside the house. Sheridan, Melissa, and Ned were all surrounding Glenn. Glenn, a six-year-old child, was smart and flexible. Whatever others asked him, he would respond like an adult. Upon seeing us, the three of us looked at me. Ned straightened up first and said with a smile on his face, "You're here." "Yes. Hello, Grandpa Cowell." After greeting Ned, I said to Sheridan and Melissa, "Hello, Mr. Sheridan. Hello, Mrs. Melissa." Now, the relationsh
"I'll be gentler." Leaning and frowning, he seemed to be in great pain, "I'm in pain." ...... "I am telling you the truth..." Cupping my face with his hands, he looked as if he were waiting for me to show my mercy. Frowning, i didn't know what to do for a while. What's more, unlike Patrick's office where there was a lounge, my office was a small one with a sofa only. Moreover, the setup was later divided. It wasn't quite soundproof. Once, Nancy made a phone call to argue with a construction company in her office. I heard all that she had said clearly in my office... Thinking of this, I shook my head heavily. Seeing his distressed look, I tentatively asked, "Shall we go upstairs?" Upon finishing my words, I felt that my suggestion wasn't quite plausible. At this time, Patrick was on the verge of ejecting. His private part was bulging. On the way out, we would pass by the open office... Everyone would be watching us.
"Why did you... come here?" Standing up in a hurry, I helped Patrick into the office. While walking in, he closed the door handily. Looking up at the closed door, I knew that he should be here for what had happened just now. Even if he wouldn't take the initiative to come here, I would ask him about it. I helped Patrick seated on the sofa. Sitting up, he looked at me and said, "What do you want to know? Go ahead." Sure enough, he knew me. Sitting opposite him and looking at him, I thought for a moment before asking, "What happened? What did Kelsi do?" "Ever since she left last time, per my order, Louis had been keeping an eye on everything about her, including the ones she contacted. As expected, she dealt with the ones who smuggled guns and bribed a murderer, asking him to kill someone." Patrick didn't state who Kelsi had wanted to kill explicitly. Even so, I knew that it was me. I looked at Patrick, asking, "What did you do?
