Raymond dropped Liliana off at the hospital and personally watched her enter through the main entrance before calling Charles to report the situation.He also recounted what he had noticed on the way. "There didn't seem to be any witnesses at the scene, but I did see a few people who looked like trained fighters. They lingered around for a while before leaving."Charles' dark eyes flickered as he listened. "Alright, I understand. You've done well today. Go home and get some rest."After hanging up, Charles immediately called Peter. Upon confirming that everyone was safe and unharmed, he finally felt some relief.Noelle, who had been watching Charles make multiple phone calls despite being in the ward with her, grew suspicious. "Did something happen?""No," Charles replied firmly. "It's late. Get some rest."He had no intention of burdening Noelle with the situation, so he chose not to explain. "Ms. Holt will come tomorrow to check on you. Alright?"Noelle nodded without pressing

"I'm not going!" Liliana rejected both options outright. "No matter what you say, I won't go!""Liliana, now isn't the time for you to be stubborn and unreasonable!" Sean reached out, attempting to grab her hand, but Liliana swiftly pulled away.She glared at him coldly. "What's this? First, you forced me to stay at your villa, and now, you want to force me into something else?"Liliana's icy tone left Sean at a loss for words. "I…""Since Bobby is already asleep, I'll go check on Noelle!" Liliana declared, cutting off any further argument. Though she had her grievances with Sean and Charles, she still cared deeply for Noelle.After all, it had been a while since they last met, especially after Liliana found out Noelle was pregnant.Sean escorted Liliana to Noelle's hospital ward. Inside, Charles was gently coaxing Noelle to sleep, but her wide-open eyes fixed on the ceiling made it clear she was not tired.Hearing footsteps from outside, Noelle turned her head toward the door.

"But…" Liliana wanted to say she did not want to go to either place, but when she saw the seriousness in Charles' expression and thought back to what Sean had said earlier, her brows remained furrowed.Noticing her reluctance, Sean was about to speak, but Liliana suddenly stood up. "Alright."Sean was a bit taken aback as he looked at Liliana. "Alright, then let's go."This outcome could not have been better.Liliana bid farewell to Charles and Noelle before leaving, with Sean following behind at a measured pace. He kept a polite distance—not too far, but not too close either.Watching the two leave, Noelle sighed. "What exactly is Sean thinking? If he truly likes Liliana, he should just tell her plainly and lay everything about the past out in the open. If it's only guilt he feels toward her, then I don't think Sean needs to keep doing this. The past is the past. By being so ambiguous, the one getting hurt will still be Liliana.""You…" Charles shook his head gently. "Don't worr

Charles couldn't help but laugh at Noelle's words. He reached out to pinch her nose gently and asked, "Can't sleep?"Noelle pouted and nodded. "Yeah."He chuckled and turned to his side, propping his head up with one hand while the other rested lightly on her belly. He stroked it gently, as if soothing her. "Silly girl, no matter what you look like, I'll always love you."Noelle smiled. She was just about to reply when she suddenly felt a sharp movement in her belly. Charles felt it too—the sudden flutter—and raised an eyebrow. The next moment, he leaned closer to her belly. "They moved just now?"Noelle was just as amazed, and she nodded quickly as her eyes lit up with excitement. "Yes, they moved! Oh my… Charlie, are the babies moving?""Yes!" Charles, though not entirely sure, recalled what Margaret had taught him during one of her impromptu lessons. She had mentioned that babies would start moving at a certain stage.Before this, neither Charles nor Noelle had fully grasped

Sean had no idea what Liliana was thinking, but he noticed her attitude toward him had shifted from cold to even colder.Sean assumed Liliana was merely rejecting his suggestion to stay at the Smith residence. Under normal circumstances, Sean might have backed down, but tonight, he felt a surge of inexplicable emotions. Perhaps it was concern for her safety or frustration at her repeated rejections. Whatever the reason, it left Sean feeling deeply unsettled."Heading to the Smith residence?" he asked, testing the waters.Liliana clenched her hands slightly at his question. After a long pause, she turned to him with a calm, detached expression. "Haven't you already decided, Mr. Smith?"Sean could not stand the distance in her tone, the way it pushed him away.His brows furrowed together. "Liliana, there's no need to talk to me like that. If you don't want to go to the Smith residence, I'll take you to the Hoffman residence instead.""No need!" Liliana rejected him sharply this t

The old butler had seemingly been waiting for a while. Noticing that Sean had not driven inside, he leaned out to check.The moment he saw Liliana, he froze briefly before speaking, "Mr. Sean, it's already late. Why aren't you coming in yet?"Sean glanced at Liliana, who, despite her reluctance, opened the car door and got back inside.A slight smirk tugged at Sean's lips. It was rare to see any reaction from Liliana directed at him. With a softened expression, he said, "Do you remember Lyle Gallagher? You used to come around at this hour often. Surely you remember, don't you?"Sean had meant the comment to ease the tension between himself and Liliana, but to his surprise, the moment Liliana heard the name 'Lyle', her face stiffened.Her expression turned blank. She looked coldly at Sean and said, "Why should I remember?"Sean tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "No matter. Now you'll remember."Liliana furrowed her brows and said nothing more.Sean parked the car in th

Sean could easily sense the distance in Liliana's tone. Even if he wanted to say something, he knew now was not the right time—especially since he had not even managed to figure Liliana out yet."I'll take you there. It's right next to my room," Sean said before grabbing Liliana's hand, leaving her no time to react.Liliana instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but Sean did not give her a chance. Before she could protest, he turned to Savannah and Yitty, saying, "Mom, Aunt Yitty, I'll take Liliana upstairs to rest now."Without waiting for a response, Sean led Liliana up the stairs, not bothering to look back at Savannah and Yitty's expressions.Once Sean and Liliana were out of sight, Savannah gripped her teacup tightly, her face dark with displeasure.Yitty glanced at Savannah and raised an eyebrow. "It's rare to see you like this."Savannah furrowed her brows, frustration written all over her face. "It would be fine if he brought home someone else. Why does it have to be
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1600
Liliana's words were nearly devoid of warmth as her gaze locked onto Sean, devoid of even a trace of the emotions that had once been there.That absence could not be faked. Years ago, Sean had been all too familiar with the way Liliana used to look at him—with eyes brimming with love, unwavering and full of longing.It was precisely because of that intensity that Sean had rejected her repeatedly, choosing to wound her with sharp, cutting words in hopes she would leave him.That deep, passionate gaze was something Sean had seen in Liliana countless times. He could never forget it. But now, looking into her eyes, there was not the faintest glimmer of that love.If it had been before, Sean might have convinced himself that Liliana was merely pretending to be indifferent. Now, however, the coldness in her eyes filled him with a fear he had never felt before."Liliana…" he murmured while reaching out to grab her arm.Liliana did not resist, but her calm, detached gaze bore into him.

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2126
Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through

"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
