Bang!Finally, the door was kicked open by Oogway.As soon as Oogway kicked open the door, Dave got up from the bed, rolled over, and looked at Oogway with a leisurely look, "Uncle Oogway, you are late. I am done enjoying your woman.""Nonsense!" The dress on my body had been torn off. I picked up a quilt from the bed and wrapped it around my body.Looking at Oogway, I said, "I didn't. We did nothing."Oogway walked up to me, unbuttoned his shirt, and took it off, wrapping it around me.He tidied up the hair on my face, protected me and whispered, "Don't be afraid. It's okay.""Uncle Oogway, are you so generous?" Dave deliberately said so.As soon as Dave finished his words, Oogway punched him directly on the face.Dave didn't dodge him either.Oogway hit him on his face firmly.I had no idea how many times the two of them had hit each other.Oogway looked at Dave and said word by word, "In the future, stay far away from Alina!""I should say so to you." Dave touched the blood at the
Soon, Dave brought me a bag.I took a look at it and saw a neat set of cloth inside, including underwear and lingerie..."I'll get changed."Holding the bag in my hands, I went to the room where the incident had happened just now to get changed.I didn't put on the lingerie and underwear however, with a glance at their sizes, I knew that Dave had prepared them specifically for me.Why did he specifically prepare clothes for me?Could it be that everything that happened tonight was planned by him?I dared not think about it. Neither did I want to.I changed my clothes, finished tidying up my hair, and went out of the room. After a while, an ambulance arrived. The medical staff moved Jamin into the ambulance.The three of us all got into the ambulance.On the way, Jamin suddenly woke up, opened his mouth, and called out, "Oogway.""Father, I'm here." Oogway quickly grabbed Jamin's hand and comforted him. "Don't worry, we'll be at the hospital soon."Jamin shook his head and looked at h
Dave called out to me, "Alina Jetson." When I looked at him, he looked at me with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Weren't you worried that he would lose the bet between me and him? Let me tell you, if I gamble with him, the probability that I will lose will be 90%.""How is this possible?" I blurted out.Subconsciously, I never thought that Dave would lose. Also, Oogway was just the boss of the this Hospital behind the scenes.With one more Hospital in his hands, he surely couldn't compete with Dave who had the Mitaka Group.Dave looked at me and curled up the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile. He said helplessly, "What you see now is only the tip of the iceberg. Among Uncle Oogway's properties, I'm afraid that this Hospital is only a drop in the bucket.""No way."I looked at Dave in disbelief.In my eyes, Oogway was just someone that was in charge of the Way Hospital, a small sized hospital. Now he had this Hospital in his hands, which startled me quite much.How come Dave actual
At the door of the emergency room, I saw Dave smoking beside a trash can.He was dressed in a thin black suit.Only a few people could be seen in the hospital around this time and he was the only one standing in such a vast place.The moonlight in autumn looked especially chilly. Against the pure white moonlight, the cigarette butt flickering in his hand looked lonely and insignificant.I stood a few meters away from him and looked at him.Thinking of what he said just now, I felt quite complicated in my heart.As I looked at him, Dave suddenly turned his face and saw me in the distance.Pinching the cigarette in his hands, he beckoned to me, "Come here."I was a little hesitant.He seemed to have read my mind, saying, "We are in a hospital. With so many people here, I won't do anything to you."His words did make sense.I walked towards him.Standing one meter away from him, I looked up at him.I have gotten Dave out of my mind however, standing in front of him now, I felt my heart be
Oogway took off his coat and draped it directly on my shoulders, saying in a tone that I was most familiar with, "I have arranged a ward for my father.""Okay..."Oogway held my hand as we walked into the emergency room.Dave stood up as well.Jamin had been transferred to an ICU.The servants who followed us here went to take care of him and Oogway sent me back to the studio.I was in a hurry to finish the design drawing.As I got busy, ten days passed by.Over the past ten days, I finished the landscape designing sketch and made a draft of the main style of the internal design, sending them to Patrick. Moreover, I highlighted the areas which needed special attention.The rest would be done by the indoor designer on Patrick's side. After all, I was paid per square meter. If I had to finish every aspect of the indoor design, it would incur an unnecessary budget.After I submitted the draft and the construction was on the right track, I would basically be done with my work.I turned on
"Sorry, Patrick asked me to have dinner with him. I probably can't have dinner with you." I apologized to him.Hearing my words, Oogway was silent for a moment then he said, "Okay. In that case, tell me the address. After I'm done with work, I'll go wait for you and send you back.""There's no need. I'll call a taxi and go back by myself after the dinner is over."Usually, at such a dinner, it would take a lot of time for the attendees to drink with another. I didn't know how long it would take before the dinner will be ended.I couldn't let Oogway wait for me there in vain but Oogway refused and said, "I am not relieved to let my girlfriend go home alone in the middle of the night."Hearing that he called me his girlfriend, my heart skipped a beat.Thinking of what had happened before, I hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, then I'll send you the address. You don't have to go there too early. I'll inform you when the dinner is almost over.""Alright." Oogway responded.The taxi dr
The private box of D24 was designed sophisticatedly as well.After I entered the private room, I noticed that I was farmiliar with all the others inside.Patrick was as enthusiastic as ever.There were only two empty seats in the private room. Dave took one of the seats first, leaving the one next to him unoccupied.Thinking I couldn't be so pretentious as to make others give their seat to me, I had no choice but to sit in the only unoccupied seat.After sitting down, I hesitated for a moment and texted Oogway, "Dave is also here but you can rest assured that I won't drink."The reason why I sent Oogway such a text was that even though Oogway and I hadn't clearly made it clear...From a certain point of view, we were a couple.Since that was the case, I should let him know of such instances to show my respect to him.Soon, I received a reply from Oogway, which read, 'Well, I know. I will pick you up when you done.'"Are you reporting to Uncle Oogway?" Dave's voice rang from the side.
Walking up to me step by step, Thomas grabbed my clothes with his hands, "Reed, we did everything wrong in the past. After I went home, I told your mother that I had seen you. She insisted that I should take you home for dinner. She even got dishes ready."Helen cooked?I wasn't convinced.Helen claimed herself to be a noble lady. She didn't know how to cook at all. How come she could cook after a few years? I doubted that.Oogway asked me with an umbrella in his hand, "What are you going to do with him?"If I ignored Thomas, Thomas probably would stand here for the entire night. After all, he was living a hard life now. If the news that he passed out at the door of his biological daughter's studio got out, he surely would attract others attention.I hesitated for a moment and asked Thomas, "Uncle, where do you live? We'll send you back. You indeed got the wrong person.""Uncle, her name is Alina Jetson. She's not the one you're looking for." Oogway spoke up for me as well."Alina Je
My heart pounded against my ribs as I took a shaky breath, trying to steady my emotions. But as I turned to face the guests, my family, my friends, and most of all, the man standing just a few steps away, my voice trembled with overwhelming emotion."This isn’t just Kim’s wedding," I finally said, my voice thick with unshed tears. "It’s mine too."Gasps filled the air, followed by a stunned silence. Then, all at once, the crowd erupted into excitement.I heard my mother’s joyful sob, saw Kelvin blinking in surprise before his face broke into a smile. Kim squeezed my hand, winking, and Desmond chuckled beside her. But my eyes weren’t on them.They were on Dave.He stood motionless for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. Then, with the help of his crutches, he began to walk toward me, determination in every step.When he finally reached my side, he lifted a hand to my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.“You’re crying,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.I laughed shakily,
Dave surely wouldn't say no to Desmond.Seeing that Dave had personally agreed, Desmond couldn't be more joyful.Hearing Desmond's words, Dave lowered his eyes slightly. Falling silent for a moment, he didn't promise Desmond immediately.I knew what he was hesitant about.In his current situation, it was difficult for him to stand on stage. He might need a crutch.As I was about to refuse on behalf of him, Dave spoke first, "Okay, no problem.""Then I'm leaving. I won't bother you two anymore!"Hearing that Dave had agreed, Desmond left.After Desmond left, I said with some concern, "Desmond is one of us. If you are in a difficult position, tell him directly.""I know." Dave looked up at the rehabilitation equipment on the side and said, "But we agreed on this a long time ago. I can't let him down."It made sense. Desmond had always been by Dave's side.They two should have agreed on this early.Dinner was a quiet affair, but in the best way possible. The kind where words weren’t alw
Dave and I lived in the town for a while.When we lived together, Dave would make love to me against my will with the excuse that it would be conducive to the recovery of his legs.Frequently, we didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. I was so exhausted that I didn't even know when he had gone to rehabilitation in the morning.One and a half months later, Dave's legs had recovered to a great extent. He could walk for a short distance without a crutch.On the last day of the rehabilitation training, the doctor told us in the rehabilitation room that Dave could return to the City, saying that he could finish the rest of the rehabilitation training at home.Hearing this, Dave bought flight tickets on the same day.We went back and packed up our things before setting off.The next night, Dave and I landed at the airport.After going back home, Dave and I didn't get Bryan back to our side for the time being. Dave had been quite busy because of his work.He worked overtime after m
Teresa walked gracefully and looked at us, asking, "What happened?"She looked as if she was watching a good show. From this, I knew that she surely had been eavesdropping inside for a while and that she surely had known what had happened by this time.Having been in contact with Teresa for a long time, these people were naturally close to her.Hearing her question, everyone told her what had happened.Teresa looked at me with an unconcealable smile on her face, saying to me, "People in this town are clean and simple. How can you act the same way as you did in the City? You are a discredit here.""He gave me the key." I defended myself.Teresa surely wasn't convinced as well, saying, "Even if you are lying, you have to make up convincing lies. Everyone knows that you and I are both kept outside here. He probably doesn't even know that you are here. How would he give you the key?"As Teresa spoke, she had a smug look in her eyes.Sure enough, after she finished her words, the ones arou
Picking up my cutlery and taking a bit of rice, I said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'll come see you every night in the future.""Why?"Hearing this, Dave was a little puzzled.I chuckled, "I won't tell you! Anyway, don't let others know that I've been here."I didn't tell him why. However, Dave was so smart. Seeing my expression, he immediately said, "You want to keep her in the dark, right?"I nodded.Since Teresa had put in so much effort to put on a show, I naturally wouldn't let her act in vain.He nodded.However, when I left, I didn't climb over the wall again. Dave found someone and gave me a key to the back door locked all year round.I left through the backdoor.The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.Teresa wore a blue and white dress with knee length today.Sitting on the opposite side of the road, she stared at the hospital door in a daze.When I went over, Teresa looked up at me and said with a hint of disdain, "I thought you were gone.""No, I didn't."There was a
A long time seemed to have passed since we made love. However, Dave was quite familiar with my body. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked at him and said, "I want you."I rarely said so.At this moment, I knew that by seeing what I did and hearing my words, Dave could be infinitely confident.Raising his head, Dave hadunconcealable excitement in his eyes.Reaching out and pushing aside the strands of hair on my cheeks, he said, "You have me.""You have me."After he said so, the ambiguous and warm atmosphere permeated the room.By the time I opened my eyes again, day...Someone outside knocked on the door. A nurse seemed to be calling Dave to do the rehabilitation training.I looked at Dave sleeping soundly beside me with my face slightly blushed. Last night, we had been making love for a long time. Dave seemed to have inexhaustible strength. One or two hours had passed only since we went to bed.Dave, like me, heard what the nurse had said outside. Without opening his eyes, he
After I entered the room, it was dark inside with the curtains drawn. I couldn't see anything.Wondering where Dave was, I was sure that he surely had fallen asleep.I reached out to fudge around, trying to figure out the situation inside the room.All of a sudden, I ended up touching a soft and sturdy body.I was shocked.Then, I heard Dave say, "Leave quickly. Or I'll call a bodyguard."His voice was cold and emotionless.I couldn't help but shudder.I suspected that the bodyguard had betrayed me.As I was about to say something, I heard him say, "You surely know the situation of Michaelson Group well. With a phone call from me, Michaelson Group will close down tomorrow. At that time, you may not even afford to return to the City."It turned out that he mistook me as Teresa.Sensing that he was standing, I wondered whether Dave's legs had been healed."You... ""It's me."As Dave was about to speak again, I reached out and hugged him directly.While hugging him, I touched something
Kim picked up the call and spoke in surprise over the phone, "You are making an international call.""I have something to tell you." Looking at the desktop wallpaper on my computer screen, I thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, I learned that Teresa and Dave might have a son and that he should be about the same age as Bryan.""What?"I could strongly sense Kim's surprise over the phone so I moved the cell phone a little further away from me.Kim continued, "That's impossible. What the hell is this? Didn't he ever tell you about this?"Holding the cell phone, I shook my head, "No, I knew it yesterday. And now I'm in a mess.""Well, regarding this..." Kim said over the phone, "In my opinion, you should ask Dave about this by yourself. After all, Teresa is good at disguising herself. You don't even know whether she is telling the truth or not. Nobody knows that she, who is a high ranking socialite in the City before, is a shrew in private, right? You'd better confirm with Dave
I looked left and right.The wall guarding the hospital was made up of ordinary brick. It was only more than two meters high. In fact, the wall couldn't be of any deterring effect at all.After thinking for a moment, I said to the bodyguard, "Since you won't let me in, I'll go. Please don't tell Dave that I've come here, okay?"The bodyguard didn't know that I probably would make other moves.If he knew, I wouldn't have any chances at all.Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.Fearing that he promised me nominally, I put my palms together devoutly and pleaded, "Please don't tell him.""Well, I won't."The bodyguard promised once again.Only after that was I rest assured.Seeing that I came out, Teresa stood at the door and looked sarcastic, "I originally thought you would be greatly respected. It turned out that you were kept outside as well."Looking at Teresa, I wasn't angry, asking, "Miss Teresa, you are a socialite in the City. I remember when we first met, you talk
