In the hospital... Zachary was standing outside the operating room. He stared fixedly at the door, and every muscle in his body was pulled taut.When Dr. Robinson appeared from the operating room, he was so startled by Zachary’s death-like gaze that his hands trembled, and he fell back.In the next second, Zachary grabbed him by his collar and hissed out his question.“How is my wife?”“She… She…”Dr. Robinson was so frightened he couldn’t answer him at first. It was only after he took a deep breath to calm himself down that he began talking. “Mr. Connor, although you’ve sucked the poison out in time so that she wouldn’t die of poisoning, she lost too much blood during the operation and needs a blood transfusion right now. However…”Zachary’s eyes gleamed. “Speak!”Dr. Robinson nearly peed himself. However, he dared not to keep the truth from Zachary, so he said with a long face, “But her blood type is AB Rh-negative, and we don’t have it in stock in the hospital. Our director
Every doctor in the operating room knew that Zachary had long exceeded the limit of blood transfusion. If he kept the transfusion going, he would go into shock in another minute, and if he could not replenish his blood in time, his organs would start to fail, and he would die…All of them found it hard to believe that this cold-blooded demon, who the people of Rothesay feared, was willing to die for his wife!“Zach, you should stop the transfusion now. I will take it from here.”An oriole-like voice rang out, and an elegant figure entered everyone’s vision.The woman had a face very similar to Charlotte’s, and all of the doctors were stunned.However, Zachary did not even spare her a single glance. He continued to set his eyes fixed on Charlotte and said, “You can’t replace me.”“Have you forgotten that sis and I are sisters born from the same mother? Like her, my blood type is AB negative as well,” Lorraine said faintly.The people Jebediah had sent to spy on Zachary had been f
From the moment she regained consciousness, Charlotte’s first reaction was that she was still alive. At the same time, her hatred for Lorraine came to her like a huge wave.“Mrs. Connor, you’ve awakened!” A clear and youthful voice erupted.She cracked her heavy eyelids open and looked at this big boy sitting by the hospital bed with a happy face. “Luke, why am I in the hospital? Are you the one who saved me?”Lucas nodded. “Of course! Of course I’m the one who saved you!”In the next second, when he saw someone’s face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot through the corner of his eyes, he quickly corrected his statement. “Hehe, even though I’ve made some contributions to save you, the biggest credit should go to Second Master. After you fell off the cliff, your body was full of poisonous thorns. It was Second Master who used his seductive lips to suck the poison out of your body. Then, after we rushed you to the hospital, he even became your blood bag and transfused blood
Charlotte’s eyes turned even colder. “Tell her that I’m awake and ask her to come and see me.”“Okay!” Lucas turned around and left.However, Charlotte stopped him in the next second.“You don’t have to go. I’ll do it myself!”She got off the bed as soon as she said that. However, she was still quite weak. She immediately felt dizzy as soon as she rushed to leave the bed and fell head first onto the ground.Fortunately, a firm and strong hand wrapped itself around her waist in time and helped her to her feet.Zachary’s unique cool, peppermint scent, delicate, charming, like an addictive drug, caused her heart to pound against her chest like lightning.She tried her best to calm herself, lifted her gaze, and looked at Zachary, who was holding her from her right.“Thank you…”Zachary’s inky, dark brows gently raised.“You’re welcome.”Zachary walked Charlotte to the next room.Lorraine was resting on the bed at this time, with Jebediah standing by the side, silently keeping
Despite knowing that this would happen, Charlotte felt as if a knife had been run through her heart when Lorraine said these words, and a numb, throbbing pain overwhelmed her. Her voice was dark and trembling. “Are you acquainted with Tiffany Miller? Aren’t you afraid that you’d end up like her by doing all of this? Aren’t you afraid of facing punishment if Zachary finds out?”“I am. Of course I am! Everything I’ve done is for the sole purpose of removing you from Zachary’s world, you homewrecker so that I can turn back time and go back to how blissful we used to be. My greatest fear is that he’ll find out about what I’ve done. But I have to do it, and I’m going to do it flawlessly!” The tip of Charlotte’s finger trembled.Lorraine caught the hatred in her eyes and smirked disdainfully. “Hehe, I’m not Tiffany. Don’t compare me with that stupid b*tch. I haven’t left a single shred of evidence in everything I’ve done, and Jebediah’s been pulling all his resources to help me… Most i
“You can hide as much as you want, I will show Zachary the truth. When that happens, I’m going to watch him make you pay with your life, just like he’s done to his enemies!”She released her grip from Lorraine’s neck once she had spoken.“Ugh… My neck, it’s going to snap… And my stomach… Ugh… My stomach… It hurts…”Lorraine’s voice trembled in pain.Charlotte, however, couldn’t be bothered to turn around to look at her. She continued walking out the door with an expressionless look on her face.“Lory!” A man’s deep voice soon followed. Jebediah rushed past Charlotte like the wind and arrived at the side of the bed in an instant. Then, his voice filled with even more panic.“Lory, why are you bleeding? Charlotte. What… did Charlotte do to you?”‘Lorraine’s bleeding? I only strangled her neck. How’d she end up bleeding?’Charlotte inadvertently paused in her footsteps, turned around, and saw the bedsheet underneath Lorraine. It was now soaked in a huge mass of red blood. Lorraine
After an unknown amount of time...Charlotte, whose back was against the door, heard footsteps from behind her. She couldn’t see the person who had entered the room but felt a powerful aura like an ice mountain, crushing toward her as the footsteps drew closer and closer.“They couldn’t save Lory’s baby.”“I knew this would happen when I saw the huge amount of blood…”Sadness and disappointment intermingled in Charlotte’s limpid eyes.“This is all my fault. I have no excuse for this. It’s perfectly understandable for you to hate me now. I’ve been thinking about this ever since Lorraine was pushed out of the room. You’re a fair man, so I won’t make things difficult for you. I won’t ask for your protection just because I’m your wife. I’ll accept anything you want to do to me to avenge her.”“Is this your conclusion from standing here and staring into space for half an hour?”Zachary’s magnetic voice and charming breath gently brushed against the top of her head.She was shocked.
Jebediah held her hand.“Lory, she’s here.”Lorraine’s lackluster gaze was slightly invigorated when she saw Charlotte arrive at her bedside. She opened her lips weakly. “I want to speak to her alone. Please leave, all of you.”Jebediah grabbed her hand instead, holding it even tighter than ever. “Lory, you ended up suffering a lot the last time she was left alone with you. Why won’t you learn? I won’t let her hurt you. I’ll protect you. I’m not going anywhere.”Lorraine did not insist.Jebediah was well aware of her misdeeds anyway. There was no need to hide anything from Jebediah during her conversation with Charlotte.Jebediah turned his icy gaze toward the senior nurse who was cutting an apple for Lorraine. “Didn’t you hear what Lory said? Get out.”“Oh… Sure…” The nurse hurriedly dropped the knife and apple and left the ward.Charlotte was at the side of the bed. Her eyes filled with disdain. “You’ve asked Zachary to tell me to come over to speak with you, but I have a con
