The Cherished Wife Chapter 310
Charles had a doctor check Noelle to confirm that all the poison was out of her system. Only then did he relax.Rowena and Teresa came to visit Noelle the next afternoon. They were not worried because they knew Charles was there, so Noelle's safety was in good hands. They had tried to see Noelle earlier, but Charles insisted she needed her rest, which was a polite way of saying he did not want them to disturb her.Noelle eventually heard about their concern and reassured Rowena and Teresa that she was fine."Wow, Charles was so worried about you!" Rowena exclaimed. "You should have seen him last night, he was so calm."Rowena's eyes sparkled as she exclaimed. "You're so lucky to have such an amazing husband, Noelle!" She sounded so envious.Noelle and Teresa just smiled at each other. They were used to Rowena's dramatics. They watched her go on and on while Teresa opened a thermos. "I brought you some soup," Teresa said gently. "I know you're not really hungry, but you've got to e

Ronald and Lareal snapped to attention. "Mr. Lennon!" they exclaimed.Charles glanced up at Peter. "What are you doing here?"With a sly smile and a quirk of his eyebrow, Peter leaned casually against the door. "I haven't seen you lose your temper like this in years," he said, his eyes hinting at something deeper.Charles scowled at him. "What's your point?"Peter just shrugged. "She's a woman. Don't you think you're being a bit harsh?" He then caught the sharp look in Charles's eyes. "Oh? Seems like you haven't changed since you treated my sister's foster mother the same way three years ago."Peter's expression darkened, and the air around him grew tense. He locked eyes with Charles, and without a word, a fierce showdown began.The two men were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell who would come out on top. Meanwhile, Ronald and Lareal were caught in the middle. They exchanged helpless looks, silently wishing they could just disappear.Finally, Peter let out a disdainful huf

Charles gave Peter a sidelong glance, his brow creasing slightly. Peter narrowed his eyes but decided to leave it at that.Charles finished up his work and hurried to the hospital. Noelle was getting some rest, with her friends Rowena and Teresa sitting quietly by her side. They felt bad about what happened last night. They knew Winter and Annie did not like Noelle, yet they had not been on guard.Noelle was okay, but Rowena could not help thinking that if she had been more careful yesterday, today might have been different.When Noelle started to doze off, Rowena gently pulled on Teresa's arm, and they both slipped out of the room, closing the door softly behind them."What's up?" Teresa asked, seeing the look on Rowena's face. "What's on your mind?"Rowena bit her lip. "Winter and Annie really crossed the line this time. They used a venomous snake! Can you believe it? If Yevgen hadn't come just in time, who knows what might’ve happened to Noelle?" Rowena shivered just thinking a

Noelle was lying so still on the bed that it looked like she was fast asleep. The sunlight slipped through the window, casting a warm glow on her face. When he saw her shift a little, Charles quietly walked over and closed the curtains, making the room go dark. Noelle's face seemed to relax even more.Charles stood next to her, gazing at her pale face with deep concern. He reached out as if to touch her, but his hand stopped just a hair away from her cheek.After a moment, he pulled back, grabbed a newspaper, and sat down in the chair next to the bed.Cody led Annie out of The Majestic Lounge. She was a mess. Her face was swollen and cut, and she looked really scary. Cody had seen a lot in his life, but the sight of Annie's injuries made him feel sick.He knew The Majestic Lounge was not a place to mess with. He had always wanted to get on their good side, and he never imagined his first time dealing with them would be like this.As Cody helped Annie into the car, she started scre

Charles glanced up, cracking his knuckles. "Out with it!"Sean shrank back a little and gulped. "Cody's here."Charles scrunched his eyebrows. "What does he want?""He wants my help!" Sean blurted out. "Don’t you remember? He saved Liliana's life a few years back. It’s smart of him to come to me. Why would he ask me, though? Liliana's your sister, not mine.""Get to the point!" Charles demanded, his voice sharp."The point is, Cody wants me to help him out. He doesn't just want me to heal Annie, but also to smooth things over. That guy has no clue who's behind The Majestic Lounge. He thinks by getting to me, he can get to you, and you can talk to the big boss of The Majestic Lounge for him."Charles's eyebrows drew together, a shadow flickering in his deep eyes. "Did you really agree to it?" he asked."Of course. I hate being in debt to anyone," Sean replied. Just then, he caught Charles's fierce glare and quickly put up his hands, saying, "I only said I'd help, not that it's a
The Cherished Wife Chapter 315
"Okay, I'll help you. I'll make sure Annie gets the care she needs. However, Mr. Adams, you should find out what she did. The person after her isn't just anybody—it's Charles!"Cody shot to his feet, staring at Sean in shock.He had hoped to leverage Sean's influence and maybe even get Charles to step in and smooth things over. After all, he knew Liliana's true identity, a secret he had kept since the day he saved her life.Years had passed, and even though Liliana was nowhere to be found, the Hoffmans, especially Charles, owed him a big favor. Cody figured that mentioning the past would surely get Charles to lend a hand. However, what he did not see coming was that Annie had managed to upset Charles himself.Sean narrowed his eyes, a spark of cunning flickering in them.He knew exactly what Cody was up to. A favor was a favor, and it had to be repaid. However, Sean was not like Charles. He did not like being under someone's thumb, and Cody had clearly crossed a line with him.Se

Annie suddenly felt weak, and tears just started to fall from her eyes.Cody rubbed his forehead, giving the doctor and nurse a look. "Could you guys give us a minute, please?"After the doctor and nurse left, Cody shut the door and stepped in. "How are you holding up?""Not well! I’m doing really badly, Brother. They did this to me! You have to get revenge for me!""Revenge?" Cody let out a harsh laugh. Seeing Annie still not sorry for what she had done made him wonder why he had even made a deal with Sean. "Do you even realize what you've done wrong?""What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything." Annie stared at Cody, shocked. She could not believe that her brother, who always spoiled and loved her, was not taking her side. He was questioning her, even though she was the one who was hurt. "Your sister is so badly hurt, yet you don't think you should get revenge for me?""That's enough!" Cody's voice was sharp as he cut off Annie. "I don't want to fight with you, but what on eart
The Cherished Wife Chapter 317
"I don't know. I just..."Annie was at a loss. She had only wanted to teach that mean girl a lesson. How did Charles get involved?"Okay, you should rest for now. I'll find out more about this. Charles isn't the type to act without reason. If you haven't really crossed him, he won't bother you. But if you're hiding something from me, remember, even I won't be able to protect you."After Cody left, Annie felt like her whole world was spinning. She could not figure out what she had done to upset Charles. However, she knew she had to look out for herself first. Her thoughts flew to Winter, and how Winter's fiance, Xavier, was connected to Charles. Without wasting a moment, she dialed Winter's number.Winter was busy trying on dresses. Emilia had sent a bunch of them a few days back. Two were really pretty, but they did not fit quite right, so Emilia had taken them back to be altered.Checking herself out in the mirror, Winter could not help but smile. Just then, her maid Rose came in

"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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2123
"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
