Jebediah was overjoyed. “Okay.”He released Lorraine as soon as he said this.Lorraine picked up her marriage certificate first and carefully placed it next to her pillow. Then, she lay on the bed with a slight bend in her delicate and slim legs. “Come on then. However, my stomach area is injured so I can’t take your weight. You need to be careful, so don’t press yourself on me.”Jebediah nodded in surprise.The luxurious special ward bed began to shake.Jebediah placed his strong arms by the sides of the pillow and suspended himself above Lorraine. At first, he didn’t notice anything different. However, he slowly realized that Lorraine wasn’t just smiling up at him, but her eyes were exceptionally gentle…He longed for Lorraine, but Zachary was the only one for Lorraine.Even though he had committed a lot of sins for Lorraines, even though Lorraine had always returned his favor with physical intimacy, every time she “repaid” him, she would show no signs of emotions, as if she
Jebediah couldn’t take it anymore. He suddenly got up and rolled off the bed, then smashed his strong fist against the window.Crash!The strong, metal-like tempered glass shattered, turning into countless pieces of glass, and poured onto the ground like a waterfall.Jebediah couldn’t be bothered with the pain in his hand. He turned around and strode towards the door.The smile in Lorraine’s eyes gradually turned cold as she stared at him, walking further and further away.As soon as Jebediah had left, a nurse who had heard the noise rushed into the ward in panic.“Miss Larson, I heard a loud noise. Did… Ah! The window broke. What happened?”Lorraine shook her head smoothly.“I was fast asleep. I woke up from that loud noise too. When I woke up, I saw that the window was broken. I’d like to know what happened myself.”…“Zachary… Don’t come any closer! Zachary!”Sotiria was startled away from a nightmare. She was dreaming of Zachary again.She wiped away the cold sweat on h
Garrison suddenly tensed up. “Your sister-in-law has been in a bad mood lately, and I’m afraid she can’t help you with anything. You can leave now. If you need anything from her in the future, just let me know, and I will help you to inform her!”“Garrison, why are you so nervous when I said I’m looking for Tiria? In any case, she’s your wife. Do you think I will harm her?”As Lorraine was talking, she began to walk toward Sotiria.“No! You can’t get close to her!”Garrison grew even more nervous and grabbed Lorraine’s arm.“Nothing good can ever come from you coming to Tiria at this time. You stay away from her!” he said as he dragged Lorraine toward the door.Garrison’s strength was great, and he was determined to “chase” Lorraine out of his house. As such, he lifted Lorraine, who was slim and in weight, like a doll without any difficulty, and threw her out of the door.Just when he was about to close the door, Sotiria’s voice erupted. “Garrison, how can you treat your siste
Lorraine avoided Garrison’s gaze and said with a smile, “There are studies that show that when people are in a happy mood, their body’s immunity and recovery will also increase. I used to think that it was another metaphysical lie, but after experiencing it myself, I realized that it was true. After I had my surgery the other day, the doctor told me that it would take at least a week for my wounds to heal. But to my surprise, after only three days, my wounds were almost healed, and now, as long as I don’t engage in strenuous exercise, I can walk and move around like a normal person.”The corner of Sotiria’s lips quivered.“Well, that’s good to hear, but… Did you just say you want me to be your bridesmaid?”“Yes.”Lorraine nodded.“You still don’t know, right? That day, after Zach and I got our marriage license, he said that I would be fully in charge of our wedding. I’m so looking forward to our wedding, so I decided to hold our wedding tomorrow.”Sotiria’s brows twitched.It ha
Lorraine left joyfully after Sotiria had agreed to be her bridesmaid.Garrison made an excuse and said he was going to show Lorraine to the door.He followed Lorraine to the elevator. The moment the door of the elevator closed, the calm expression on his face dissolved, and he glared at Lorraine. “You promised me you wouldn’t mess with Tiria anymore. It has only been a few days, and you’ve already forgotten your promise! Hah, slap those guys in their faces? Invite her to be your bridesmaid? Those are just your excuses! Lorraine Larson, is there something wrong with your brain? I’m sure you know the consequences of your action better than anyone else. Tiria doesn’t know it now, and when she recovers her memory and recalls that you invited her to be your maid of honor, she’ll hate you to the core! Why do you have to be such a fool!?”“Fool? Me?” Lorraine scoffed.“Yeah, that’s right. I’m a fool, but I still want to do it.”Although Garrison was angry with Lorraine, he had spoiled
Sotiria’s gaze was drawn to him the moment she saw him, and she could not avert her eyes no matter how hard she tried. Suddenly, her heart leaped into a gallop, and the feeling of pleasure and restlessness that she felt from him once again flooded her heart like a tsunami.‘No! I have to stop this! I still have to walk Lorraine down the aisle and hand her over to him later. I still have to wish him and Lorraine for their marriage. If I started to lose control just by looking at him from afar, how am I supposed to face him later?”Sotiria took a few deep breaths to try to calm herself down. In the blink of an eye, the wedding car carrying Lorraine and Sotiria arrived in front of Zachary. The wedding officiant outside the car pulled open the door and bowed.“Ms. Larson, Ms. Green, please alight from the car.”As per the pre-rehearsal, Sotiria got out of the car first. Zachary was standing firmly at the edge of the red carpet, looking like an aloof king or a soulless ice sculptu
Sotiria lifted her chin lightly, looked straight into Zachary’s eyes, and announced in her calmest voice, “Zachary, on behalf of all of Lory’s friends and family, I’m handing her over to you today. Now that you are officially husband and wife, I hope you will live up to her deep love for you and treat her well for the rest of your life.”Zachary looked at her expressionlessly, and his voice was cold, magnetic, and flat as he replied, “Thank you.”Sotiria’s fingers trembled hard.In the next second, she tried to pull up a smile at the corner of her mouth and uttered the wish that she had recited a million times in advance.“Zachary, Lory, may this day be the start of a long, happy, prosperous life for you both, and I look forward to hearing the patter of tiny feet.”Zachary retained his expressionless face and replied flatly, “Thank you.”A round of applause erupted from the crowd as they all showered blessing words at Zachary and Lorraine.Sotiria pushed Lorraine into Zachary’s
Sotiria couldn’t bear to watch this anymore. She turned her gaze away and looked toward the villa’s main house. “My stomach is feeling uncomfortable. May I please use the washroom in Zachary’s house?”Garrison smiled warmly.“From now on, you’re Zachary’s sister-in-law. You’re welcome to treat his home like your own. You can use whatever you like in his house, no one will stop you. I’ll go with you.”He held Sotiria and walked ahead.Sotiria chuckled. “No need, you’re Lory’s brother. You still have a few more responsibilities after she and Zachary have exchanged rings. I’ll go on my own.”She turned around and left as soon as she said that.She didn’t really want to use Zachary’s washroom. It’s just that she couldn’t bear to watch this wedding ceremony and wanted to find a quiet spot to sit down.Most of the servants in Divine Sanctuary District had gone to help out at the courtyard for the wedding. Only one maid was left in the main house in the first floor living room to wat
