"But the doctor said your condition is serious, Winter. Don't be so stubborn. Your health is more important!" Suzy pleaded, glancing uneasily at Winter before turning to Margaret.Seeing Margaret's stern expression, Suzy hesitated, tugging lightly on Winter's sleeve. "Winter, please listen. Your health is what matters most!""But my reputation is even more important!" Winter retorted, her voice tense. "Who knows if this hospital is truly secure? What if someone finds out I'm here and sells the news to the paparazzi? It'll be the end of me! And if Xavier finds—"Before she could finish, Suzy quickly covered Winter's mouth, giving her a pointed look and blinking in warning. "Winter, if you don't say anything and I don't say anything, the doctor won't say anything either. Besides, we can check you in under my name. Would that work?"Suzy turned to Margaret. "Doctor, would that be okay?"Margaret regarded Winter and Suzy coldly, finally recognizing who the woman before her was. The fa

Back then, Noelle had given her heart entirely to Xavier, only to be rewarded with betrayal on two fronts. Hearing this news now, Noelle felt she should be happy, but she could not bring herself to smile.It took Noelle some time to process everything. After calming herself, she opened the door and was startled to find herself face-to-face with Suzy. For a moment, she froze. "You…""Noelle?" Suzy seemed equally surprised to see her emerge from the lounge. The realization quickly dawned on her. "You… heard everything?"Noelle nodded.Was that not obvious? She had been in the lounge the entire time. How could she not hear?Suzy's face paled slightly. "Noelle, you… I…""Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person," Noelle reassured her with a faint smile, noticing Suzy's anxious demeanor. "Aside from Dr. Ellison and you, no one else knows about this. If it ever gets out, Winter will immediately suspect the two of you. Are you afraid I'll pin the blame on you?"Suzy nodded hesitantly.

Noelle did not believe the excuse, and frankly, she did not care enough to dig further."Alright, I won't tell anyone about this," she said. After all, despite being at odds with Winter for years, they were sisters of a sort. While Winter had always been antagonistic, Noelle did not want to stoop to her level. "Go take care of her. She should stay in the hospital for a few days.""Yes, I will," Suzy replied.For some reason, whenever Suzy faced Noelle now, she felt an imposing and commanding aura from her—likely a result of her time spent with Charles."Oh, by the way, what are you doing here?" Suzy finally realized where they were—at a hospital, specifically the obstetrics and gynecology department.Noelle smiled and was about to reply when her phone rang. The screen showed Sean's number."Hello, Sean?""Noelle, you might need to wait a bit longer. I'm stuck with a patient right now," Sean said hurriedly from the other end."Operating Room 1, stat!" he barked, before returning

While Noelle waited at the hospital, her social media post caused quite a stir.The post had drawn comments from more than just one or two people. Rowena and Teresa were the first to comment, immediately asking, "You're pregnant? Why didn't we know about this?"Even Steven and others, who had politely added Noelle on social media later, were drawn out by her post. Everyone flooded the comment section, buzzing with curiosity and excitement. The only ones who did not react were Charles and Sean, as one was tied up in meetings and the other was busy in surgery. They were oblivious to the chaos online.Among the responders was Grant. He had followed Noelle earlier, although she still did not know who he was. He had toggled his settings so that he would receive a notification whenever Noelle made a post. He saw her post the moment it went live.Grant's lips curled into a smile as he read the post, but on closer inspection, it was a strained smile.The man sitting across from Grant was

Kresten had no response, and Grant's entire demeanor radiated hostility. His sharp eyes swept over Kresten's face, his clenched jaw making his frustration all too apparent. It was clear that Grant was furious."Find out immediately. I want the details of Shirley's flight schedule, every place she plans to visit, and who she intends to meet. You have one day. If you fail, don't bother coming back to Capiton with me.""Y-Yes, sir. I'll take care of it right away!" Kresten stammered before rushing off.As Grant watched Kresten's retreating figure, his expression remained tense. His brows did not relax even for a moment.'Shirley! So, you've come back, have you? If you have the audacity to return, don't blame me for being ruthless,' Grant thought to himself.Grant adjusted the cufflink on his sleeve, his face gradually regaining its calm, composed facade.He gathered his things and turned, only to find Kelly standing at the doorway. She was carrying Seth in her arms. Kelly's cold, di

"You don't want to return to Capiton? So, you plan to stay in Brookville, hoping Charles will look your way?" Grant's lips curved into a mocking smile. "Do you know Noelle is pregnant?"Kelly froze, staring at Grant in shock. "That's impossible!""What's impossible about it? Noelle is Charles' wife. They're married, so it's perfectly normal for her to be pregnant," Grant replied, his expression remaining unchanged as Kelly's face grew increasingly pale. "I've told you before—let it go.""How can I let it go? He's my everything—my entire youth. If not Noelle…" Kelly faltered. No, even without Noelle, Charles would not have married her. Her pupils dimmed, losing focus. "I can follow your orders in everything else but not this. I won't go back. If I return to Capiton, I won't have a single chance left. There'll be no connection at all between me and Charles."Grant frowned, his gaze turning icy as he took in Kelly's stubborn expression. "Whether you're willing or not, you're leaving

Noelle helped Harrison sit down. "Sir, are you here to visit a friend or…""Yes, I came to see someone I haven't met in a long time," Harrison replied, his gaze sweeping over Noelle. "Young lady, are you here for a check-up or visiting someone?""I'm fine, just here for a routine check-up," Noelle answered with a smile. For some reason, she found this middle-aged man rather likable.The two chatted briefly until Noelle received a call from Ronald. On the other end of the line, Ronald was panting as he asked, "Mrs. Hoffman, where are you?"Glancing around, Noelle replied, "Oh, I'm in the garden behind the hospital, Mr. Wells!""Please wait there. I'll come over immediately!"Noelle ended the call and turned back to Harrison with a grin. "Sir, my friend is on the way, so I'll leave you here to enjoy the garden."Harrison narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Your boyfriend?""No, he's not…"Before she could say more, Ronald had already jogged over. Seeing Noelle about to stand

"Ease up, Mr. Wells," Noelle said with a chuckle as the elevator dinged and the doors slid open. She stepped out with a confident stride, Ronald quick on her heels."Madam, Mr. Hoffman is still tied up in a meeting. Maybe you'd like to hang out in his office while you wait?""Sounds good!"Noelle made herself comfortable in the office while Ronald hovered nearby, ever the attentive aide. She caught him sneaking peeks at his watch. "Mr. Wells, you don't have to stick around. I know the way around Colossus Group like the back of my hand!""Are you sure?""Seriously, go on. I'll be fine!""Alright!" Ronald said, relieved to be excused. Thanks to Charles's last-minute call to fetch someone from the hospital, he had a mountain of work waiting for him. With his tasks stacking up like skyscrapers, Ronald was swamped.Once Ronald had dashed off, Noelle took a moment to take in Charles's office. She had been there many times, but it was always for business. She had never paid much attent

"Don't forget that I was already with Keith before you and I... You know. It's normal for couples to be together like that, right? Did you really think you were the only one for me?""Liliana," Sean was clearly upset. "This isn't like you.”"No! Don't you know me well enough by now?" Liliana clenched her teeth, staring into Sean's intense gaze. She gathered her courage, balled her fists, and silently cheered herself on. "Keith is good to me. If it hadn't been for that slip-up with you, things between Keith and me would be even better now."While she said that, Liliana was inwardly apologizing to Keith.She had to lie to keep the baby. "If you don't believe me, just wait until my boyfriend gets here. You can ask him yourself. No guy would be okay with his girlfriend being with someone else. I never told him about us. I just thought of it as a mistake.""That's enough," Sean's voice was icy as he cut her off. He could not bear to hear Liliana talk about another man, especially when
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2051
After Sean said those words, he immediately wished he could take it back. He saw Liliana’s face, which was already ghostly white, lose even more color.He tried to reach out and comfort her, but Liliana pushed his hand away. Her lips trembled as she spoke, and her hands were balled into fists. "What gives you the right to talk about my baby? Whether he's born or not, what's it to you?""Liliana." Sean was taken aback by her fierce words. "You know I don't love you. I've always thought of you as a sister. That night was a mistake, and you don't want to keep a reminder of it, right? This baby shouldn't be born.""Stop it!" Liliana could not stand his words. "Sean, how can you be so heartless? He's a living being. You can't just decide he shouldn't exist."Liliana let out a bitter laugh. "Oh, I get it. You're scared, right? You've always treated me like a sister, but now you've crossed a line with your 'sister’. Are you scared of the gossip? Or are you just afraid of people saying you

A man's clear and calm voice rang out. Liliana fully awakened, blinking in surprise as she looked toward the speaker.It was Sean. It was actually him.Her face turned pale, and her fingers clenched the blanket tightly as she looked at him with a trace of fear.He was here. Did that mean he already knew about the pregnancy?Liliana bit her lip and slowly inched backward as though she were truly afraid of Sean.What she did not realize was that her reaction felt like a knife in Sean's chest. He thought that she did not want to see him and did not want him near her, which was why she instinctively pulled away.Sean stood there with a deep frown, his expression dark and unreadable. His eyes were fixed on Liliana.Her body trembled. Every time she thought of what Sean had said to her that day, she felt like she could not bear it.She bit down harder on her lip and tried her best not to look at him, as if lowering her presence could make everything disappear. She wished desperately

"That was an accident." Sean gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly as veins popped across his knuckles.Peter glanced at him with slightly furrowed brows. "The first time might've been an accident. What about the second time? Sean, you're too deep inside to see clearly. Do you really know what you want?"Sean was about to speak again, but Tania came out of the ward at that moment. Sensing the tension between the two men, she raised a brow. "What's going on?""Nothing. Let's go," Peter replied, slipping his long arm around her and pulling her petite figure into his embrace, holding her close."Come on, we haven't even eaten dinner yet.""Oh please, it's your fault I came, and you didn't even show up until so late."Peter and Tania walked off, their figures disappearing into the distance. However, Sean remained where he was, rooted to the spot. It was not until his body began to feel stiff that he finally pulled himself together, composed his expression, and pushed the doo

When Sean saw Liliana lying on the floor with a bright red pool of blood spreading beneath her, he had to admit that he had gotten scared. He had been scared that she might leave him just like that.Sean clenched his fists. "Take the pregnant woman to the ward."Tania hurried over. "Sean, is Liliana okay?"She saw the exhaustion all over Sean's face. "She's really pregnant? But she just lost so much blood… Is she…""She's fine. We stabilized her in time." Sean paused. "Both mother and child are safe."Only God knew that when he said those few words, a wave of emotion surged through him. It was so overwhelming it felt like it could drown him. He did not know how to describe the feeling. It was foreign.Tania let out a breath of relief. Although she was curious about how Liliana ended up pregnant, knowing that both Liliana and the baby were safe was enough for now. "Then I'll go to the ward and check on her.""The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet," Sean said. "She won't wake up toni

Sean let go of her wrist. "She's okay. It's probably—"His face froze mid-sentence as his gaze landed on the red stain beneath Liliana. His expression darkened instantly. "Quick, get her to the hospital!"Tania also noticed the red stain beneath Liliana and her expression changed slightly. "What happened? Liliana, she…"Before she could finish, Sean had already scooped Liliana up into his arms. Without waiting for Tania, he rushed out of the apartment and down the stairs with Liliana in his arms.Tania's mind was still a mess. All she could picture was that pool of blood beneath Liliana. There was not a lot, but… was Liliana really pregnant?Was what Joanna said true?Then whose child was Liliana carrying? Keith's?Tania thought back to what Joanna had just screamed at Sean and found herself growing increasingly confused. As far as she knew, Liliana and Sean were not that close.Sure, they were both students from Vista University, but Sean had always been difficult to approach.

Tania opened her mouth, momentarily stunned by the hostile air radiating off of Sean. Though she was not sure why he was acting so violently, she was the first to snap out of it.She stepped in front of him. "Sean, now's not the time to waste on her. We don't even know what's happened to Liliana yet."Sean finally released Joanna and gave a slight nod. "Let's go."The moment Sean let go of Joanna's wrist with visible disgust, Tania pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her hand as if she had touched something filthy. Then, she tossed the handkerchief aside.Her eyes swept over Joanna's pale, shell-shocked face. With a slight smirk, unreadable in its intent, she gave Joanna one last glance before catching up to Sean.As for what Joanna had just said, Tania did feel some doubt, but she was sharp enough to know she would not get anything worthwhile out of Joanna.Once she got in Sean's car, she turned to him. "There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"Sean di

"Sean, you've gone too far."Lennox could not hold it in anymore. "Joanna just likes you. If you don't feel the same, you could've just rejected her."Sean let out a cold snort. "If that worked, do you think she'd still be here? With a brain like that, some people are destined to be pets their entire lives."His words were harsh and unforgiving. "Just because my mother likes pets doesn't mean I do. Joanna, take care of yourself."Joanna bit down hard on her lower lip. "Sean, how can you say that? That's not what I meant. I just—""Enough. I'm not interested in hearing your nonsense."Tania glanced at Joanna and grinned, which only made Joanna's resentful gaze land sharply on her. Tania raised her brows, about to retort, but her phone suddenly rang. She reached into her bag, saw that it was Liliana's number, and quickly answered. "What's wrong, Liliana?""Tania, help me.""What happened, Liliana? Where are you?"Tania's expression changed instantly. "Hang on, I'm coming right n

"Sean, you misunderstood. I'm not after any of that… I just… I just like you!"Joanna, humiliated in front of everyone by Sean and Tania, could hardly bear the embarrassment. With so many familiar faces watching, the sting cut even deeper.She bit down on her lower lip, her hands clenching tightly into fists. To some, like Lennox and the others, she looked pitiful—like someone others might feel sorry for. However, her performance did nothing for Sean and Tania.Lennox suddenly spoke up. "Hey, I know your family's rich, Sean, but that doesn't mean you get to humiliate someone like this! Yeah, sure, Joanna likes you—but is it wrong to like someone?"Sean frowned slightly and raised his head to glance at Lennox. He did not say a word, but Lennox immediately took a step back, instinctively swallowing hard.Damn, he was a grown man, and he actually flinched at Sean's stare.Scared into silence, Lennox said nothing more. Neither did anyone else.Edgard, ever the smart one, had known f
