"No worries!" Keith thought it was awesome that Liliana had even come at all. He did not really care about the light stick. "Alright, Liliana. Go grab a seat. I-I'm going to win this one and give you a good show!""Haha! Just do your best!"Liliana took her light stick and found a spot to sit. She did not know much about these things, but she had talked to Tania on the phone earlier about Keith's basketball game that afternoon, and Tania had suggested she get a light stick to show her support.Since she had promised to be there, Liliana was ready to cheer him on with everything she had.When Keith joined his teammates, they all gave him teasing looks. "Wow, you moved fast, didn't you?"Keith shot his roommate a look. "Behave.""Okay, okay! You're pretty impressive. I've heard Liliana and Tania from the business school are the toughest to win over. Now that Tania's taken, everyone's wondering who Liliana will end up with. Looks like you've got the upper hand.""Me? I'm just being

"Keith, I love you!"In the end, the computer science team won by a landslide and beat the medical team.Keith was the hero, hoisted up and tossed in the air by his teammates as they all celebrated the big win.Liliana watched as Keith's team clinched the victory and could not help but feel joy for them. Keith, beaming with pride, immediately waved at Liliana. "Liliana, we did it!"With a gentle smile, Liliana nodded. "Yeah, I saw. You guys were amazing!""Hey Liliana, hang on a sec," Keith called out, his smile as wide as the sky. "The guys and I are going out to celebrate with some food. You've got to come with us!"Not wanting to dampen his spirits, Liliana agreed with a simple, "Sure.""Awesome! Just wait. We'll go get changed first."As Keith and his teammates headed off to change, Liliana began to gather her things. The stands were emptying out, and she pulled out her phone to see a call from Tania. She pressed the answer button, but before she could utter a word, a sud

The surgery seemed to last forever because Liliana had taken a bad fall from way up high and hurt her head. She was also scraped all over, and the doctors wanted to make sure she did not have any serious internal injuries, so they were super careful.Tania and Keith waited outside the whole time. Sean, who was not a specialist doctor, stayed out too.He had called in the best doctor in the hospital to take care of Liliana and had been standing outside the operating room, watching without moving an inch.Tania thought Sean was acting really odd. She did not really know him well. They were just from the same school. Still, Sean had gone out of his way to get Liliana help and had even taken on some risk himself. That was not something he would do for just anybody.Sean was the head of the hospital, so he did not have to stick around for the surgery. However, he stood still as a statue, his eyes glued to the operating room door. He did not even move an inch. Tania watched Sean from t

Sean's gaze on Keith was intense, and his eyes seemed to grow deeper.He rubbed his hands together, looking calm on the outside. However, those who knew Sean well could tell that was when he was at his most dangerous right now.Keith finished talking, and Sean stayed quiet, but his eyes flickered with something unspoken.Tania had been watching Sean and Keith the whole time. She found Sean's reaction to Liliana's situation odd—it was not the simple concern of an upperclassman for an underclassman.However, Tania knew this was not the time for questions. When Sean got up, she followed suit. "Sean, I can't thank you enough for today. Without you, who knows if Liliana could have had her surgery!"Tania was sincere in her gratitude. Sean just gave a small frown and nodded. "I did what I had to do."After Liliana's surgery, she was moved to a regular room. Tania and Keith kept vigil by her bed, never leaving her side.Outside the hospital room, Sean's deep gaze lingered on the two

"What's wrong?" Tania saw that Liliana looked pale and waved her hand in front of Liliana's eyes. "Are you okay? Do you know who pushed you?"Liliana shook her head, then nodded. "I'm not sure yet, but I think it was her.""Her? Who?"Tania was taken aback. "How could you, of all people, make an enemy?"Liliana shook her head. "I don't know. I think she’s Keith's biggest fan. She was sitting next to me and really didn’t like me.” Liliana strongly suspected that girl of pushing her. Maybe she wanted to remove her competition for Keith.Tania heard that and got really mad. "Some people are so evil, hurting others for their own stupid reasons! We can't just let this go."Tania was known for her quick temper, though she never threw the first strike. However, if someone messed with her, she would definitely stand up for herself."Don't worry, I'll take care of it. But tell me, did you send me here?" Liliana asked Tania."Nope, it was Keith. He had to leave, though, because something

Talk about perfect timing.Tania and Liliana had just been talking about Sean when he showed up.He pushed the door open and stepped in, looking over at Liliana with a casual expression. "You're up?" He spoke casually, like she could have been anyone else.Liliana, who had been feeling relaxed, tensed up the moment Sean walked in. She watched him closely and gave a small nod. "Yeah."Tania jumped to her feet, full of excitement. "Hey, you made it! Come on in and take a seat!"She really liked Sean and welcomed him warmly as soon as she saw him.Liliana tried to speak up, but Tania cut her off. Feeling a bit helpless, Liliana looked down, trying her best to seem calm and normal.Sean kept his composure on the outside, but his eyes, as bright as stars, never stopped watching Liliana. He noticed her eyes looking down and her face a bit pale. His gaze twinkled for a moment before he quickly hid it. "How are you feeling?" he asked like he was talking to another one of his sick patien

He inhaled deeply. "Yes, t-there is something else.""What's up?"Being stuck in this room with Sean just felt so awkward for Liliana."Charles knows about this."Liliana was surprised at first, but then she felt a sense of relief. "Okay, thanks."Given how close Sean and Charles were, and considering she was in Sean's hospital after her accident, Liliana was not surprised that Sean would tell Charles, even if he had issues with her.Sean squinted. "Are you annoyed?"Liliana looked up and pressed her lips together. "Not at all.""Okay." Sean hesitated. "You don't have to worry about the bills. He's taken care of them."Liliana nodded. "Got it."Then, there was another one of those weird silences between them.Liliana did not know how to act around Sean anymore. Ever since that incident, it felt like they had drifted apart, maybe too far to ever come back.Liliana knew it was not Sean's fault. If she had to blame someone, it was herself for her silly daydreams.Liliana's qu

"What are you doing?"The stern voice from behind made Joanna jump. Her hand shook, and she accidentally knocked over the photo frame with a loud snap.Joanna spun around to see Sean standing in the doorway, silhouetted by the light. His face was shadowed and hard to read.She quickly pulled her hand back, feeling flustered. "Sean, I-I was just waiting for you and thought I'd take a quick look around."Sean's lips were tightly pressed together, his face an icy mask. His eyes flashed with a fierce light for a split second, sending a shiver down Joanna's spine.Joanna had known Sean for ages, but she had never seen him like this before.Sean had always seemed distant to Joanna, but he had never been harsh with her.She felt her face pale. Her mouth opened to speak, but no words came out.Sean's gaze left Joanna, and he moved to the desk where Joanna had accidentally knocked over a photo frame. With a graceful motion, his fingers picked it up and slid it into a drawer.He looked

"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
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
