Hailey had a dream.In her dream, she had returned to seven or eight years ago, when she was still a little girl and met a boy.The boy had lost his sight and stayed at the hospital everyday. Since the George's family house was nearby, Hailey would sneak out of the house everyday and chat with the boy at the hospital. The boy wasn't a talkative person. During the first few days, she thought that he couldn't speak at all.One day, she had crossed a line and stolen his chocolate. The boy finally spoke. He said to her, "You can have them all"As it turned out, he could speak. Although he couldn't say anything, he could hear everything. He even knew that she had secretly eaten his chocolate.She said to the boy, "Can I marry you when I grow up? We can be together every day "The boy agreed. He would also a design a unique wedding dress for her and make her the most beautiful bride on earth.There was a smile on Hailey's lips.Suddenly, she heard a chuckle, there was a hint of mockery and
Nikolai's expression was grim and cold. He started recalling all his past interactions with Hailey.He had witness her humility, her pleas and her pride. His anger slowly subsided.If the baby was really his, he might have the blood of his biological son on his hands.Even if this child was not his, if he aborts it, what sets him apart from cold blooded murderers?Nikolai pressed his lips together and said coldly, "The operation is cancelled, you may leave now "The doctor's didn't dare to stay. They quickly opened the door and ran out of the operating room."Nikolai, I am getting old. This might be last chance to be a grandfather. For my sake, don't be impulsive, okay?"Old Master Coke sighed. He shook his head and walked out of the operating room with his walking cane.Nikolai clenched his fists tightly and punched the walls.Agnes sat in her wheelchair. She gritted her teeth and refrained herself from grimacing out of rage and resentment.It was so close. They were so close of gett
"My child, my child!..."Hailey laid on the hospital bed and struggled. She furrowed her eyebrows and agony and drops of sweat oozed from her forehead.Her hands were grabbing at the air, "Don't hurt my child, Nikolai Coke please don't hurt our child. Ah! My child!"She was suddenly startled awake and sat on the bed.The memory before she lost consciousness slowly came back to her. The fear she felt when she was pinned upon the bed and unable to struggle, was nightmarish. Hailey's eyes widened in horror.She suddenly turned her head and saw Nikolai sitting next to her and staring at her with an unemotional gaze."Nikolai Coke, you devil!"She roared angrily and rolled off the hospital bed. When she was about to lung at him, she realized that there was a needle at the back of her hand. It was connected to an IV line thar channeled fluid into her vein.She lifted her hand and pulled out the needle, then she rushed to Nikolai and grabbed his collar in a fit for madness."Nikolai Coke, it
"Hailey, it was you who insisted on marrying Nikolai. I thought you genuinely like Nikolai. I didn't expect you to do such a shameful thing. Before the public finds out about your affair, I will abort the baby in your belly. I must make it up to the Coke's family, or else I will he too ashamed to see them again!"Hailey trembled. She bit her lips and said, "Dad, why are you so sure that the child in my womb is a bastard?""What else could it be?" Mr George roared. "If the child in your belly is a Coke, why would Nikolai force you to have an abortion? Hailey stop lying to me. Follow me to the operating room!" He stepped forward and grabbed Hailey's hand.Hailey resisted with all her might.Was this what Agnes meant when she said that she would never allow her get what she wanted? Even though Nikolai didn't abort the child in her womb for Old Master Coke's sake, Agnes would incite their parent to do the dirty work?Didn't Mom and Dad know that she had stomach cancer?Since they assumed
"I'm curious. I have no parent, grandparents or great grandparents. Of course I don't have a wife nor a child. If I suddenly drop dead one day, who will inherit my properties?"A man in a silver suit leaned back in a leather sofa, crossed his legs, and asked the layer across the desk in a half heated mannerThe lawyer had never met such a young man with no relatives. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "According to the law, brothers, sister's, nephews, nephews and even illegitimate children can inherit one's property""I do have a cousin but we don't speak to each other. Even so, is he qualified to inherit my property?""As long as he can prove his kinship with you""No way! Even if I pour money down the drain, I won't give it to him! " The man said coldly, "Just add a clause for me. If I did by accident, all of my property should be donated to the orphanage "The lawyer nodded and quickly arranged the will. The man lit a cigarette and turned around, only to find a woman stan
Hailey was deeply frightened. After a short while, she pursed her lips and looked at the man who saved her. She asked in surprise, "It's you!" It was the man who she saw writing will in the consulting room. Jacob pulled her up and said in annoyance, "Miss, if it weren't for me, you would have been killed by that truck" "Thank you...." Hailey swept away the dust on her cloth and said, "I will be more careful next time" Asher noticed that she seemed to be a daze. Her face was sickly pale, there was a drip left by the IV drip needle at the back of her hand. He pressed her lips together and said, "You seem unwell. Let me give you a ride home, in case you wander alone" "That's fine.." Hailey wanted to turn him down, but there was suddenly a sharp pain in her stomach. Her legs went limp. Asher grabbed her arm and led the her to the passenger seat of an SUV, "Don't worry. I'm not a bad guy. I will drive you back home safe and sound" Hailey knew that she was in a bad state, so she no l
Hailey turned to look at the young man. She could not imagine the type that of pain he had gone through at such a very young age. She was silent for a long time before she said, "It doesn't matter. Don't worry about those relatives. You can give yourself a home, get married and have children. Then you will have a family of three. Isn't it good to live happily with your loved ones?" "Get married and have a family?" Asher smirked. "I'm not even interested in women" He suddenly felt that what he had said was somewhat misleading, so he quickly added, "Of course, ok not interested in men either" Hailey felt that his joke was not funny at all. She pursed her lips in response to his self mockery. However, Asher was very curious about the woman beside him. He said while driving, "It's fate that has brought us together twice in one day. But I don't even know your name yet" Hailey was silent for a moment. Although not many people in Manila city knew her, her name was often seen on many ent
Hailey sat at the passenger seat. She was utterly at a loss for words."Odessa Russell, that's enough!" Asher came over and grabbed her arms. "Stop spreading rumors. I broke up with you amicably. I've given you all the compensation you deserve. Don't be so unreasonable""You think I'm being unreasonable?" Odessa was incensed. "When we were a couple, you hooked up with three different young girls and married women at the same time. You flirted with them and told me that you loved me. Aren't you a jerk? "Feeling a little guilty, Asher touched his nose. Life was long and tedious. If he didn't have some fun, how could he make his life worthwhile?When he was about to speak, he met Hailey's calm eyes. They were as clear as water and emotionless, but they frightened him for a reason.He pinched his nose bridge. "That's enough, Odessa. When we were dating you have benefitted a lot from our relationship. In fact, u have given you some business deals. If you're still upset, I would make you m
