"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. "

Liliana looked down, quickly hiding the sparkle in her eyes. "You're worrying too much, Mr. Smith. I'm really thankful for you letting me stay today. If there's nothing else, I'm going to go wash up now!" She pulled her hand from Sean's and shut the door without another glance.Sean stood outside, watching the door close. He stayed there, looking sad.Savannah was at the top of the stairs. She saw her son looking down and frowned. "Sean, come here. I need to talk to you."Sean tried to look normal. "What do you want to talk about this late, Mom?""Come here!"Savannah sounded serious, so Sean had no choice but to go with her."Close the door!"She led Sean to the study next door. As soon as he closed the door, Savannah looked serious. "Sean, you're not a little kid anymore. I've always let you play around and have your fun, but I don't agree with you being with her!"Sean narrowed his eyes. "Mom, you don't like Liliana?""I've never liked her. I warned you, didn't I? I said sh

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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1651
Nobody knew if Kelly was alive or not because Sean's hospital would not let any information slip out. The place was locked down tight by Charles's crew, and not even Yves's toughest guys could bust in and rescue Kelly. Yves did not have a clue about Kelly's condition, so he could not just rush in without a plan.Somewhere hidden on the outskirts of town, a man was strung up on a scary-looking rack, his eyes shut and barely breathing.Yves sat on a chair nearby, fiddling with something in his hands, his eyes icy as he stared at the man hanging there. "You know you messed up, right?"The man, who was called Elon, kept his eyes shut tight and would not say a word. Yves glanced sharply at another guy standing close by. This guy was an assassin Yves had trained, just like Elon. They were always at Yves's side.Elon was usually the one out in the open, but this other guy, Yoan, worked from the shadows. They were Yves's main guys.Yves did not take Elon with him to Francoria that time be

"Alright, then I'll leave my sister in your hands!"After spending some time with Linda, Noelle had come to realize that apart from being extremely serious when treating patients, Linda was otherwise quite childish. At moments like this, she was still very much a child at heart.However, spending time with Linda was easy. She had a way of making treatments feel relaxing, ensuring there was no pressure at all.Once Linda finished joking around, Charles led her away, taking her directly to Sean's lab for research.For the past few days, Linda had not stepped out of the hospital because she was entirely focused on finding a cure for the virus. She had practically made Sean's lab her home, eating, drinking, and sleeping there without a care.Despite her young age, Linda was undoubtedly a medical prodigy. She was only in her teens, yet she handled these complex medical challenges with astonishing composure.Sean had always believed his medical skills were exceptional—at least within h

His slightly rough fingertips brushed against Noelle's skin, his gaze filled with tenderness as he shook his head slightly. "It's okay now."Noelle, however, couldn't hold back her emotions. She leaned her head against Charles' chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her voice carried a hint of grievance. "Why didn't you tell me?"If she had not noticed Linda's secretive behavior and recalled Peter's and Tania's hesitation that night, she would have never known just how much suffering Kelly had endured.Not to mention, it was all because of her. If not for the virus in her body, Kelly would not have put herself in danger."Don't cry." Charles coaxed her gently. "She wouldn't want you to be sad, would she?"Through the glass panel of the hospital room, he saw Linda putting away the silver needles. He gently patted Noelle's back. "Do you want to go in and see her?"Noelle pulled away from Charles, took the tissue from his hand, and wiped her tears. She nodded firmly. "Yes!""

"Don't worry! You two really are sisters. Just as you're concerned about her, she's been worried about you too!"Linda was still young, and she did not quite understand the depth of sisterly bonds.She had grown up in a completely different environment. Though her family was large, there was never this kind of closeness.The person she was closest to was her older brother, but Saxon was a man, and his way of caring was completely different from that of a sister. Hence, Linda had a hard time grasping the emotions that Kelly and Noelle shared.However, even if she could not fully comprehend it, she could feel that these two truly cared for each other."During the time you were missing, Noelle could barely sleep at night. She kept having nightmares. Some days were better than others, but I could only help ease her pain temporarily." Linda sighed. "And now, you've only just woken up, and the first thing on your mind is Noelle.""How is Noelle now?" Kelly asked anxiously, her eyes fil

Kelly remained in the ICU for two days before she finally woke up. This was not exactly what Linda had expected, but at least Kelly showed no adverse reactions upon regaining consciousness.However, she barely spoke.Linda had already spent several hours in the hospital ward, checking Kelly's condition and even performing acupuncture to alleviate her pain. However, Kelly was like a puppet on strings—silent and unresponsive. She did not speak, did not complain, and did not even flinch at the pain.Linda stared at Kelly's face, which looked almost identical to Noelle's, and sighed in boredom."Hey... You don't have to worry. Once your body recovers, I can remove the scars on your face and body." Linda reassured her."Trust me. After all, I do come from a family of doctors… Kelly, are you mute? Why won't you say anything?"Linda had been observing Kelly for hours now, and she was even quieter than a mute person.Even those who could not speak would at least make some sounds when th
