The Cherished Wife Chapter 981
As soon as the words left his mouth, two loud bangs rang out. Peter had already shot at the two rear tires. The car swayed left and right as it moved forward.Simultaneously, Peter unfastened his seatbelt, intending to jump out of the car. However, Jack's vehicle showed no sign of stopping.Charles squinted his eyes as he held a gun in one hand. He fired another shot at the front tire of Jack's car while Steven also drew his gun and aimed at Jack's head. However, in that instant, Jack's car came to a halt. He was holding Tania hostage, leaving Steven unable to take the shot.Jack opened the car door and dragged Tania out. Fixing his gaze on the three approaching men, he pressed his lips together. "It seems I underestimated you."He had thought that with only Charles and Peter, having Tania in his hands would at least give him a slim chance of survival. Unexpectedly, Steven had also come.Steven remained in the car, operating his laptop. He quickly disabled the surrounding survei

"Alright, everything's fine now, right?" Charles checked Jack's body and glanced at the affectionate couple. Seeing that Peter and Tania were both unharmed, he nodded at Peter. "Tania, Aunt Nancy's surgery was very successful. She's resting at the hospital now. Do you want to go see her?""Really?"Having just gone through a life-and-death ordeal, Tania cherished this newfound safety more than anything. Hearing Charles' words, the tension and fear in her heart were replaced with joy. "So, my mom, she's...""Sean said this surgery was even more successful than the last one, so you don't need to worry," Charles replied, looking over at Peter. "Peter, take Tania to the hospital. I'll handle things here.""Alright!" Peter nodded. He knew Tania's mind was entirely on Nancy. She would not be at ease until she saw her mother safe and sound. "I'll leave the rest to you."Tania looked at Charles and said, "Thank you!"Charles smiled slightly. "Go now.""But Jack...""Since he wanted t

"Yes, it's all over now. Everything will get better!" Peter patted Tania's back, gently comforting her. Suddenly, Tania remembered something else. The virus in her body and…"Jack said Brandon was also injected with the virus. Peter, what should we do? Brandon is so young!""Don't worry." Peter saw the panic on Tania's face. "Try to stay calm.""But... Jack said he didn't have the antidote. He admitted it himself and said he only injected me with the virus. As for Brandon, someone else did it. Peter, besides Jack, who else does the Lennon family have as enemies?"Peter narrowed his eyes. "You say Jack claimed he didn't inject Brandon with the virus?"Tania nodded. "He also said this virus has no cure. Brandon's virus is an improved, purer version. Peter...""Don't worry. I'll handle this." Peter held Tania's hand. "Did Jack say anything else?""He said..." Tania shook her head, trying to recall her conversation with Jack but unable to remember the details clearly. "I can't recal

"Steven?"Eloise narrowed her eyes slightly. After Steven released her, she quickly stepped back and looked calmly at the man who appeared equally composed. "Sir!"Steven nodded and glanced at Eloise. "Since your identity has been confirmed, you should call me Steven from now on."Eloise could not help but feel a slight tremor in her heart. She seemed to recall something and nodded. "When can I be discharged?"Steven raised an eyebrow, and a slight smile curled his lips. "What's the matter? Can't wait to return to the Naylors?"Eloise pressed her lips together, her expression a bit troubled. "You know I've never wanted to go back to the Naylors!"Regardless of whether she was part of the Naylor family, she was not raised by them. To Eloise, the Naylors were just strangers, and Steven was no more than a stranger too. It was only because Steven had pulled her out of that abyss back then that she had no choice but to follow him.Steven glanced at Eloise and noticed a flash of hosti

Eloise fell silent at Steven's words. Meanwhile, Tania sensed that Eloise seemed a bit unhappy. "What's wrong? It's been confirmed now that you're a member of the Naylors. Why don't you seem happy at all?""It's not that." Eloise shook her head and smiled faintly. "I'm not unhappy; it's just that I'm not quite used to it yet.""What's there to get used to? I didn't know I was a Hoffman before either, but look at me now—I'm doing just fine." Tania smiled and, speaking from experience, told Eloise, "I think you have nothing to worry about. Besides, isn't Steven here with you?"Hearing this, Eloise looked up at Steven but only curled her lips slightly. "Yes, there's also Steven."After Tania and Peter left, silence fell between Eloise and Steven. Steven was the first to speak, "If you really don't want to stay in the hospital, you can be discharged."When Tania came out, she seemed preoccupied, and Peter noticed it too.It was probably still about the virus in her body. Peter patted

Charles nodded. "So?"Noelle grinned and ran over to Charles, wrapping her arms around his neck. "So... are you free that day?""Is my wife planning to introduce me to her parents?" Charles raised an eyebrow. There was a smile in his eyes. Allowing Noelle to hang onto his neck, he lightly tapped her forehead and chuckled. "Hmm?""Yes, yes. Don't you always complain about how I've never told anyone about our relationship? Now that I'm willing to take you to meet my parents, you're not happy?"Noelle pretended to be upset. "If you're not happy, I'm gonna get upset too!""Silly girl!" Seeing that Noelle was about to leave, Charles extended his long arm and pulled her back. She lost her balance and ended up sitting right on Charles' lap.Noelle exclaimed in surprise, wrapping her arms around his neck. "What are you doing? You scared me!"Charles smiled, leaning in to press his forehead against hers. "Are you that timid? Scared so easily?"Noelle pursed her lips. "I'll scare you nex

Noelle selected an appropriate and festive outfit for the event. Charles was busy today and had not returned yet, so Noelle waited at home. After waiting for over an hour, she finally received a call from Charles. "Nelly, I'm sorry, but I probably can't go with you today."Noelle was slightly surprised. "Is something wrong? Is it the company?" she asked instinctively. Charles denied it, "No, something came up at the Hoffman residence. I need to go there.""But... I promised Grandpa I'd bring you back." Noelle paused. "My parents are also expecting me to bring... Well, actually, it's okay if we do it later on."Although she felt a bit disappointed, Noelle knew Charles was not someone who broke promises. If he could not go with her, it had to be because something important happened. "I'll go by myself.""Wait!" Charles was silent for a moment on the other end. "I'll have Sean accompany you.""No... That's not necessary!""I'm worried about you." Charles sighed. "Apart from Grandp

Jade was chatting with Emilia. Although they were in-laws, ever since the previous incident, there had been some estrangement between the two families—especially since Emilia had been humiliated by Noelle and a group of people over matters involving Winter and Noelle.Emilia glanced around. "Today's your husband's birthday. Isn't your younger daughter coming?"Jade narrowed her eyes. She did not like Noelle, but being questioned by Emilia made her uncomfortable, especially now that Noelle had connections with the Smiths and the Joneses. Jade replied amicably, "She said she'd come with her boyfriend. He's Yitty's boy, the one from the Joneses!" As Jade spoke, she looked at Emilia, and sure enough, Emilia's expression changed."Oh, really?""Yes!"The Shaw residence was bustling with activity. Outside the villa, Noelle parked the car and glanced at the lively scene inside, sighing softly. As she turned her head, she saw Sean looking at her with a half-smile. His innocent expressio

"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
