In the hospital, Abbie was leaning against the head of the bed as she held the mobile phone that Leonard gave her. Her gaze was fixated on the screen. It had been a week since she regained consciousness. During the past week, she had been sleeping most of the time due to her health. She only stayed awake for a short while during the day. However, she would always use the phone that Leonard had given her to search for news in this short period of time. The news she searched for were about her family, herself, Michael, and Azalea. She still couldn't remember anything, but she would feel a pang of sadness when she saw Michael's photo. She would feel at ease instead when she saw the photos of Richard and her parents. Meanwhile, she would experience a strong hatred when she saw the photo of Azalea. Even though she couldn't remember anything, her feelings were enough to guide everything. Together with the news and gossip that she read on the Internet, she was able to
Abbie was pushed into the examination room by a nurse. Before the operation, the doctor would need to conduct a comprehensive physical examination. Leonard stood in the corridor with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. It was prohibited to smoke in the hospital, so he could only put a cigarette in his mouth to deal with his addiction. When Leonard's assistant, who followed him to the hospital, saw his furrowed brows and grim face, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Floyd, why are you unhappy?" "Unhappy, you say? Do I look upset?" "Yes, you have a deep frown. You look troubled. Are you thinking about Miss Clark?" "You can say so." Leonard nodded. "Will she not regret getting rid of the baby?" "No woman in this world can accept what Michael did. I don't think Miss Clark will regret his decision, or will she?" The assistant was unsure as well. "You can't be sure too, can you? A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. If..." Leonard bit his c
In the Clark family, Anna yawned and went downstairs. She saw Helen wipe her tears as she sat on the sofa in the living room. She was shocked, so she walked to Helen quickly. "Helen, what's the matter? Don't cry. Tell me what happened, okay? Who pissed you off? Did Richard do something that angered you?" As Anna spoke, she grabbed some tissues to wipe Helen's tears. Then the latter grabbed her hand and broke into violent sobs. "Anna, I miss Abbie! I miss her dearly!" Helen was missing Abbie. Anna had no idea as to how to comfort her. After all, Abbie was the unspeakable pain in Helen's heart. Anna could only hug Helen as she patted her gently on the shoulder. The latter cried while saying, "I dreamed of Abbie. She was calling out to me from a desolate place. She asked me to save her. I tried my best to grab her, but I couldn't get a hold of her. Oh, my poor Abbie. She must feel very miserable." "Helen, the dream is usually the opposite of reality. Abbie is
The driver found a place to park the car. The car of the Clark family stopped as well. When Valeria opened the car door, Anna had already gotten out of her car. She ran over to the former. She was shocked to see that Valeria was not the only one in the car. The nanny and the children were there as well. Hence, she asked, "Valeria, are you bringing the children around?" "Yeah, hop in." Helen got out of the car as well and came over with an apologetic look on her face. "Valeria, Anna has lived overseas for a long time. She is a little tactless and she never feels embarrassed. Is it okay for her to go back with you?" "It's totally fine. Don't worry about it. I'll take good care of her." Anna chimed immediately, "Valeria, I don't need you to take care of me. My legs are healed already." It was obvious that she didn't understand what they were saying at all. Helen felt frustrated as she didn't know what to do with her. She heaved a sigh. "I'll leave her to you,
William strode to the car and instructed Bobby, "Head to the mansion." Bobby agreed and started the car. Meanwhile, William began to call Natalie. "Natalie, are you free now?" "Yes, I am. What is it, William?" Natalie asked. "Its nothing serious. I'm hoping to treat you to a meal." "Sure." Natalie agreed readily. "Your father-in-law is here too. Let's meet up. Just tell us the location." "It's our house then. Valeria has brought the two children back to the mansion. Dad said that lunch will be served. You and Archer should come and meet everyone." Natalie agreed without much deliberation. After hanging up the phone, William received a message on his mobile phone. It was from Raymond. "William, I'll have a big surprise in the form of a gift for you today. Wait for it!" William narrowed his eyes and let out a smile. He replied with a message, "Thank you, Raymond! Can you tell me what gift it is?" "No, it's boring if I tell you now. But I'm
Upon hearing Marcus's words, Raymond retorted curtly, "Who told you that, Assistant Field? You are a man, not a woman. How can you talk nonsense before confirming the truth?" "Mr. Saunders, why are you so mad? Who said that I haven't confirmed it? The staff in the hotel has reported to me that you brought a woman with you. Are they lying to me?" "It's true that I took someone there, but why would you think she is my girlfriend?" "Is she not your girlfriend? You did come to our office and take her away in a hurry, didn't you? Besides, when she left, she told everyone that you were her boyfriend. Isn't this right?" Marcus asked again. "Marcus, don't talk nonsense with me. I have a question for you. Where is William? I need to talk to him urgently." "Ah, you mean Mr. Howard. I think he went out for lunch, didn't he?" "I know he went out for dinner, but I have no idea where he is. Tell me his location quickly if you know about it." "Sorry, I'm also
After Archer parked the car at the entrance of the Wolf Group, he saw Raymond and a tall, bulky young woman walk out of the hotel. She was talking to Raymond with a nice smile, but he seemed absent-minded. After spotting Archer and Natalie's cars, he quickly walked towards them with her. Archer and Natalie got out of the car at once. Raymond brought the woman there and introduced her to them. "Mom, Dad, this is Anna!" "Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Saunders!" Anna greeted Natalie and Archer immediately. The duo smiled and nodded their heads. Natalie was surprised because of Anna's looks and figure. She failed to pay attention to the name that Raymond had deliberately mentioned when he introduced her to them. What was the relationship between Raymond and this overweight, stocky, and average-looking girl? Natalie had never heard about such a person among Raymond's friend. Was she a client? What was Raymond thinking by bringing a client here to say hello?
When Natalie returned to the company with Archer, the angrier she became thinking about what happened then. Natalie grumbled, "Raymond had gone too far. How dare he try to deceive us. We can't let him go on like this. I need to send him on a blind date." Archer shook his head with a smile and said, "Honey, you'd better not meddle with his affairs. Just let him be." "You can't let him do whatever he wants! Do you really want to see him live alone for the rest of his life?" Natalie firmly disagreed. Archer sighed and said, "I don't think Raymond is at fault here. You might have... misunderstood him today." "I've misunderstood him? Why do you say that?" "I think the girl Raymond met with today is the girl that William introduced to him." Natalie did not believe it at all. "Why do you think so?" "I can tell from my intuition! Raymond might have offended William somehow, so he pulled this prank on Raymond." "William is not that kind of person.
