Liliana's eyes turned slightly red as she bit her lip and took a deep breath. "Sean, what exactly do you want?"Sean frowned slightly. Seeing Liliana in this state caused a faint ache in his chest. He reached out his trembling hand, but just as it was about to touch her, it froze in mid-air.As he stared at her face, he sighed softly. "Do things between us really have to be like this?""What else? Do you think there's another option for us? If you don't have anything else to say, I'm leaving!""Why are you at the hospital?" Sean called after her. "Are you sick?"Liliana bit her lip. "It's none of your business!""Liliana, you should know that in Brookville, no hospital is better equipped than mine," Sean said.Liliana's back stiffened instantly.She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "So, you've been investigating me! Sean, you're despicable!"Sean closed his eyes briefly. "You must understand that in Brookville, if you want something done, you either turn to Charles or

Outside The Majestic Lounge, Sean's entire demeanor shifted after Andrew spoke. Andrew cautiously observed Sean, sensing a change in the atmosphere around him. After a long pause, Sean finally said, "Take me to see it.""Right this way, Mr. Smith!"Sean and Andrew entered the surveillance room and pulled up the footage from the cameras. Since each private room in The Majestic Lounge had surveillance, it was relatively easy to monitor the conversations inside.However, the lounge kept these recordings highly confidential. Retrieving them was typically impossible—except for Sean and his team.Andrew had accidentally noticed Liliana appearing in Yankel's private room earlier, which immediately struck him as odd. He had been keeping a close eye on the situation and promptly informed Sean when something noteworthy occurred.Sean watched the footage, his expression hardening. "Can you retrieve the audio from their conversation?""This will take some time," Andrew admitted before hesita

"Mr. Smith has already gone to the hospital to see Ms. Hoffman. Bobby was admitted again today," Ronald reported.Charles frowned deeply. "Admitted again?""Yes, Mr. Smith went to see Ms. Hoffman, but she turned him away. Sir, should we intervene and stop Mr. Smith from seeing her?" Ronald hesitated, knowing Sean was the primary cause of Liliana's pain all those years ago."No need. The matter between Liliana and Sean must be resolved eventually. Let them handle it themselves. What's the update on Grant? I asked you to investigate him.""Mr. Anderson has been engaging with the Nexus Group while in Brookville. Other than the meeting with your wife a few days ago, he hasn't had any private contact with her. Recently, he's been alternating between field visits and staying at his hotel. Everything appears normal so far."Charles waved his hand. "What about Kelly?""It seems Mr. Anderson has confined Ms. Anderson. She hasn't made any moves recently. Should we take any action?""Keep

Sean learned later that Bobby had been hospitalized again due to another fever. To care for him, Liliana had no choice but to take leave from work and stay at the hospital.At the hospital, the situation was dire. Bobby's repeated fevers had made him resistant to certain medications.In simple terms, the regular drugs available domestically were no longer sufficient to sustain his life. Because of this, Liliana had to resort to using the most expensive imported medications the hospital offered. But this choice drained the last of her savings.As Liliana wrestled with how to pay the mounting medical bills, Sean appeared once more. "Transfer Bobby to my hospital," he said."And what are the terms?" Liliana addressed Sean formally for the first time, her tone devoid of emotion. It was as though she were negotiating a business deal. "I'll do anything you want except be with you."A storm flickered in Sean's eyes. His lips moved slightly before he replied, "I have only one condition—mo
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1131
Sean acted swiftly. Within two hours of Liliana agreeing, the hospital had already completed Bobby's transfer paperwork along with all the necessary medical reports. When Liliana returned to the ward, she saw staff from Sean's hospital negotiating with the current hospital team. One of the doctors noticed her arrival and hurried over."Ms. Hoffman, Bobby's transfer arrangements have been finalized. We're ready to take Mr. Bobby to Mr. Smith's hospital now. What do you think?"Liliana glanced at Bobby lying on the bed with a pale face. Her heart ached at the sight. She gritted her teeth and nodded. "Yes, let's go now." She could wait, but Bobby's illness could not."Where's Mr. Smith?""Mr. Smith is outside, waiting for you in the car," the doctor replied, carefully choosing his words. Sean had specifically instructed them to treat Liliana kindly and agree to anything she requested without speaking harshly. "Don't worry, Ms. Hoffman. We'll take good care of the child."Liliana fr

"No need!" Liliana rejected it instantly. The atmosphere in the car turned tense as Sean looked at her, and she stared back just as intently.After a long pause, Liliana finally said, "Bobby isn't your son, so there's no need for you to do all this. Besides, we have no relationship with one another. You don't need to go out of your way to please me."As she spoke, she adjusted Bobby in her lap, carefully cradling him to ensure he slept more comfortably. Sean's gaze lingered on her, and there was a flicker of something unspoken passing through his eyes.Once Liliana had settled Bobby, she noticed Sean still staring and frowned. "Didn't you say you'd take us to the hospital?""Oh, right, yes! On it!" Sean snapped out of his daze and quickly started the car.Half an hour later, they arrived at Sean's hospital. Sean stepped out, opened the door, and instinctively reached for Bobby, scooping him into his arms. The sudden movement woke Bobby. Upon realizing he was being held by a strang

After finally meeting Yankel, Liliana could not help but feel a deep sense of disappointment at his attitude. Sean stood beside her, silently observing her every move. Noticing her tension, he found himself growing anxious as well."Mr. Smith, what's the plan now?" The attending physician, after settling Bobby into his ward, turned to Sean and Liliana."What medication should we proceed with? I've reviewed the case transferred from the previous hospital. While the child's condition isn't too severe, his young age makes him extremely fragile. My recommendation is to proceed with surgery as soon as possible.""Start him on the best medication to stabilize his condition. As for the surgery, begin searching for a suitable bone marrow donor immediately," Sean ordered firmly."Mr. Smith, we believe it's best to locate the child's biological parents. A parental match significantly reduces the risk of complications and rejection." The doctor's gaze shifted to Liliana. "Ms. Hoffman, does yo

Liliana hastily denied it, but the more she did, the more Sean felt something was off. "I didn't even say anything yet. Why are you so worked up?"Liliana pressed her lips together before responding, "I'm trying to stop you from overthinking. The truth is, you're not his father. Otherwise, wouldn't I have come to you for a bone marrow transplant?"She turned her gaze directly to Sean. "So, you don't need to dwell on it. The child from three years ago… didn't make it."Sean's grip on the steering wheel tightened abruptly, the veins on his hand bulging.Liliana continued speaking, seemingly unaware of Sean's reaction. Meanwhile, Sean was suppressing a wave of emotions, her words echoing in his mind like the distant cries of an infant. His face turned pale, and he exhaled deeply in an attempt to steady himself.Noticing his unusual demeanor, Liliana turned to look at him with a frown. "What's wrong with you?"Sean pressed his lips together, then glanced at her. Meeting her concerned

"I'm heading back to Phoenix Tree Residence this time, and we'll definitely be passing this way. These spots here are where it's easiest to take action!" Charles explained, turning to Steven. "Mr. Fischer, can your crew handle these places?"Steven did not look too great, but he glanced at Charles, checked out the spots on the map, and nodded. "Sure can!""What about these points, Peter? You got them?"Peter nodded. "You're set on going back to Phoenix Tree Residence? Right now, it seems way safer to head to the Hoffman Residence!"Simon could not hold back any longer and blurted out, "How can you all be so sure someone's going to strike tomorrow?"Charles just smiled a little. "I’m not sure!"Simon let out a scoff. "You expect me to buy that?"Charles always seemed like the type who had things figured out. He must have his reasons for planning like that, but Simon had not figured them out yet. "You act like you know my brother better than I do!""This is his last chance!" Char

Simon's smile faded a bit. "You're right again, bro. It's been days without a peep from Ms. Anderson. I sure hope she's not... gone."However, Simon's words made the air around them grow tense. He could feel the chilling vibe coming off Jacob, who was clearly not happy, even though he did not show it. Simon knew then that this Kelly person must be pretty special to Jacob.After Jacob walked away, Simon rubbed his chin and snorted softly before returning to his room.No sooner had Simon settled in than he got a message. Charles's message was clear: hold off on buying any more shares of the York Group until then.Simon set his phone aside and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He had a clear view of the rock garden in the York family's backyard from his bedroom window.He never imagined that secrets would still be hidden in the shadows after living with the Yorks for so many years. However, Simon could not help but smirk. After witnessing that awful moment between that man and his mother

Simon raised an eyebrow. "Haven't I always been at the company?"Simon's slouchy look made Jacob frown a little. "I'm talking about actually working at the company, not just having a title and doing nothing. You're part of the York family, so when the family needs help, you should pitch in!""Jacob, the York family has you, and that's plenty. I know what you can do, and don't you know me? I might just bungle everything up." Simon pulled out his hands, leaned back against the wall with a cigarette case and lighter in hand, and gave them a spin. He paused, then said, "By the way, why did you suddenly go overseas? Is the York Group doing business there?"Simon's offhand question made Jacob's eyes snap to him sharply. "When did you start caring about these things?""Oh, it's no big deal, just some small talk over drinks today. Someone said you started a company overseas. I didn't believe it. We're all Yorks here. How could we not know if you were doing something like that?"Jacob squi

Jacob pushed the door open and stepped inside, spotting Jeanette seated in a recliner with a Bible in her hands. She read it nearly daily, and it had grown worn over time.Jacob's gaze fell on Jeanette, and he noticed she was also sizing him up. Lifting his eyes, he let a faint smile curve his lips as he walked over. "Grandma, what are you reading?" he asked."Do you not see what I'm looking at?" Jeanette asked, her face suddenly serious. "Jacob, did you forget what I've told you before?""I remember, Grandma," Jacob said, worried she might not believe him. He moved a chair next to her and started to gently massage her legs.However, Jeanette was not so easily tricked. She brushed Jacob's hand away and looked at him with a stern face, very different from her usual warm smile. "Jacob, I may be old, but I'm not blind. Years have gone by. Your grandpa's gone, your dad's gone, and all I want now is for you to live a good life."She reached out and touched Jacob's face. On closer inspe

Yves came back from the hospital and headed straight for the York family home. The mood there was heavy with worry. Everyone was scared that the trouble from two days ago might come back to haunt them.They could not forget how Simon had carried Ms. Anderson out of the house, and the serious warning he had given them.Harold had done some digging and found out that Kelly really was Harrison's daughter. She had not known Harrison when she was little, so the Anderson family from Capiton had taken her in. Just like the Hoffmans and the Smiths from Brookville, the Andersons were not the kind of people they would want to mess with.Kelly might not have been the apple of the Anderson family's eye, but Grant sure treated her well. Now that the Smith family had welcomed her back, Kelly had both the Andersons and the Smiths watching her back. Getting on the bad side of either family was definitely not a good idea.Harold did not usually bother with petty matters. However, with Jacob away an

Eloise's fingers shook just a little, but she nodded seriously. "Take your medicine, get better, and I'll go. Just don't send me away now, please."With that, Eloise held out the glass of water to Steven again. "You need to take care of yourself. You haven't had any rest for days."Steven stared at Eloise's defiant face and suddenly laughed mockingly. He stood up, towering over her with his tall frame. He tilted her chin up with his long fingers, his icy eyes locking onto her bare face. His words cut deep. "You seem to have forgotten that you're just a pawn to me. Even your name, Eloise, was chosen by me. Remember your place!"Eloise's face went white as she heard his words. Her hands balled into fists at her sides. She tried to read his expression, but his eyes were like ice—no warmth nor emotion."Yes, I've always known who I am," Eloise said quietly, looking down. "If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be lost."She looked up again, her eyes then as cool and detached as his

Charles squinted at him. "You don't seem too happy to have me around!""No, no, don't get me wrong. Noelle and Kelly are my sisters, and they’re part of the Smith family. I wouldn't ever dislike them! But don't you think you're wasting resources by being here?"Sean was practically pleading. "Look, if you're not smart with your money, that's fine by me!""Silly Sean! You just said they're your sisters, yet now you're talking about money?" Charles raised an eyebrow. Sean's face fell. "I messed up. I don't want your money. I'll pay you to leave, okay?"Charles just smirked. "Alright, I'll have my things packed up and head out in a couple of days."Sean let out a big sigh of relief. "Okay! I'll have someone clean up for you right away. It won't even take two days. We'll have it done today!" After saying that, Sean whistled cheerfully and bounced away.Charles rubbed his forehead, a bit frustrated, and quickly reviewed the latest reports about the Collosus Group.Steven had been sec

Yves's car lingered long at the hospital entrance, finally pulling away as the last bit of night faded.Yves had been hanging around the hospital entrance for a while, and the secret guard who was watching him had already told Charles about it. Actually, Charles had seen the car parked outside the hospital on the security screen a long time ago.Charles was staring at the screen, lost in thought.After a bit, a tiny smile appeared on his face, and his eyes sparkled.Charles was surprised that Yves cared so much about Kelly. He was brave enough to come there all by himself, even though it was dangerous. The hospital was full of their own people. If Charles had not been sitting there and had caught Yves instead, this whole thing might already be over.The door to the hospital room opened, and Sean, who was tall and striking, stood there. He had been at the hospital a lot those days, staying close ever since he started looking after Kelly. Linda was there too.Every day, Linda was b

"You must really want to die!" Yves twisted his hand, and Elon's arm popped out of its socket. "Who told you the York family has a dungeon? My father? Or...""No! The old master has nothing to do with this!""Hmph!" Yves glared at Elon. "You never saw me as your master, did you? Only my father?" Yves squeezed Elon's cheek. "What did my father give you that made you remain so loyal, even years after his death?""Nothing... You are my master. The old master gave me my life and asked me to follow you for all of it, so no matter what you do, I will obey.""Then why didn't you listen when I said not to hurt her?" A dangerous look flickered in Yves' eyes. "Hmm?""Because I know she'll mess up your big plans, Sir. You don't see it now, but one day you'll understand that I am doing all this for you." Elon clenched his teeth against the pain. "Sir, please see the truth. This woman will only hold you back. Even if you take my life now, I won't complain, but don't let her ruin your big plans
