The Cherished Wife Chapter 1641
After Simon finished speaking, he walked away, leaving the group behind in stunned silence. Jeanette's expression darkened.Being publicly challenged by a junior was already hard to swallow, but when she thought of Kelly's face—battered and covered in wounds—her expression turned even colder."Go check the rockery in the back garden immediately. See if what Simon said is true!""This..." The butler hesitated, casting a cautious glance at Jeanette. However, Jeanette was not someone who could be easily brushed off. Left with no other choice, he summoned two staff and sent them to investigate.Jeanette followed behind them but stopped short of entering. The place was too dark and too hidden. She and the other York family members remained outside, waiting anxiously.Before long, the two staff emerged while carrying an unconscious Elon.Jeanette's sharp eyes immediately caught sight of Elon's severed tendons. The sight made her instinctively step back."Isn't this one of Jacob's men?

"No more talking. Get her inside now!"Linda arrived at the hospital with Peter, and the moment she saw Kelly's condition, her expression turned grim. "Her virus has already progressed to the mid-to-late stage."She placed her fingers on Kelly's pulse, and her expression darkened even further. "Her chest and abdomen have taken severe blows, and she's been kept in a damp, dark place for a long time. She's already running a high fever. It's likely a lung infection. We need to operate immediately!"Linda's voice carried a level of seriousness and authority that was rarely seen. She was still just a teenager, but at that moment, she was as calm and composed as an experienced doctor."Alright, prepare for surgery!"Linda, Sean, and the others quickly changed into surgical gowns before heading into the operating room.Outside the operating room, Simon sat motionless as his clothes were stained with blood. He did not bother cleaning himself up, and his eyes remained fixed on the doors o

It was clear it had been a long battle. Both Sean and Linda looked utterly exhausted.Seeing them emerge from the operating room, Charles and Simon immediately stood up."How is she?""We managed to stabilize her for now, but she won't be waking up anytime soon. We gave her anesthesia, so it'll take a while before she regains consciousness," Sean said as he removed his mask, his face still covered in sweat.A nurse quickly stepped forward, offering him a towel. "Mr. Smith, Ms. Holt!"Linda let out a deep breath, clearly fatigued. "We've treated some of her internal injuries and taken care of the external wounds for now. I also gave her a sedative, so she shouldn't relapse too soon."She paused for a moment before adding, "But those scratches on her face and body… They won't heal quickly. There's a high chance she'll be left with scars."Clicking her tongue twice, Linda sighed regretfully. "She was brought in too late. She was already suffering from a mild lung infection. His hea

Linda spoke in a reserved tone, but Charles and Sean understood her meaning clearly. Back then, Peter had been desperate and had essentially abducted Linda.Although her current relationship with them had improved, it did not mean Saxon would be as easy to deal with.Rumor had it that Saxon was an unpredictable man, both in his whereabouts and his temperament. Getting him to save someone depended on perfect timing, favorable conditions, and, most importantly, his mood.If he was not in the right mood, it did not matter who you were, he simply would not lift a finger.Though neither Charles nor Sean had ever met Saxon, his reputation was well-known in underground circles. Judging by Linda's cautious tone, it was clear that Saxon was far from an easygoing person.Charles nodded. "We'll cross that bridge when we get there. But until we can reach your brother, we'll have to rely on you, Ms. Holt."For the first time, Charles felt helpless in the face of life and death. No matter how

Noelle looked at Tania in surprise. "When did Brandon start studying under Linda?""Not long ago. Ms. Holt is quite skilled in medicine, and it's good for Brandon to learn from her," Tania replied with a smile, peeling a few grapes and handing them to Noelle. "How are you feeling now? Are the babies still active?"Noelle took the grapes, happily popping one into her mouth. Hearing Tania's question, she smiled sweetly, her expression turning soft and gentle. "Very active. Just a few days ago, I felt the babies moving!""Really?" Tania's interest piqued. "That's a good sign—it means the babies are healthy. When I was pregnant with Brandon, it was the same. As my due date got closer, he would kick around inside me non-stop. Sometimes, he was so restless that I couldn't sleep through the night!"As she spoke, a warm and contented smile spread across her face. Peter had been quietly listening beside her, and his expression suddenly darkened.His eyes dimmed, and his brows furrowed deep

Peter held Tania tightly in his arms, resting his chin against the top of her head. He rubbed against her hair slightly, then took a deep breath, inhaling the soft, familiar scent of her hair."Alright."From the front seat, Linda listened to Tania and Peter's conversation, feeling a bit envious. She lowered her gaze to the small figure in her arms. Brandon was the perfect combination of her idol and goddess.As she thought about it, her eyes sparkled with pink-tinted excitement. She reached out and playfully poked Brandon's little head."Brandon sweetheart, your mom and dad are going to give you a little brother."Brandon pouted upon hearing that. He turned around and looked at Peter and Tania with a very serious expression."Hmph! Do you not love me anymore? Why do you want to have a little brother?"He looked genuinely unhappy.Peter and Tania were caught off guard by his reaction, momentarily unsure how to respond. Even Linda began to wonder if she had just said the wrong t

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

"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

"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

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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2124
"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
