Chapter 178

Suddenly, Delbert opened his eyes and caught sight of Harriet trying to slip away. He reached out and pulled her back into his arms.

"Sleep a little longer," he murmured.

Harriet's heart pounded, her cheeks burning.

"Delbert, I need to bathe and change clothes. I can't let others see me like this."

Delbert looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "You were so vocal last night. Weren't you afraid of being overheard? Why so shy now?"

His deep, seductive voice made Harriet's face turn crimson. "It's all your fault."

Delbert buried his face in her neck and croaked, "Yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you last night."

Harriet grew even more bashful.

She, too, was to blame for agreeing to his request.

"Stop making fun of me! It's annoying!" Harriet pouted.

Delbert couldn't bear to tease her any further and could only apologize.

He caressed her face, his voice soft. "Alright, it's my fault. Don't be angry."

Harriet asked in a low voice.Upon hearing the name from Joe, Harriet responded with a sneer and a curt "Refuse" before ending the call.A strange smile played on her lips after she hung up.Unexpectedly, Nora's face had suffered damage, and she had sent a mysterious individual to acquire the Z-type potion for treatment.It appeared that Nora had received assistance from this mysterious person to help Clifton overcome a tax evasion crisis and secure the position of general manager of the Munoz Group.

Once she was sure he wouldn't return, she helped the still-unconscious Molly out of the hospital.For some reason, even though Molly had woken up, her nose kept bleeding and couldn't be stopped. She was also sweating profusely, which made Harriet worried and heartbroken."Hang in there, Molly. We'll get to our destination soon, and I'll cure you," Harriet said.Her intuition told her that Molly's condition was very serious and had been present for a long time. However, Molly had been hiding it and not telling anyone.In her past life, Harriet vividly remembered Molly's tragic ending.

There's bound to be a new potion that can cure your friend," Joe tried to comfort Harriet.In reality, he knew better than anyone that, despite the numerous researchers at King, Harriet held all the core formulas.In other words, the thousands of King members worldwide couldn't hold a candle to Harriet.If even Harriet couldn't cure Molly, then Molly was truly beyond help."By the way, Nora has expressed interest in purchasing our Z-type potion, regardless of the price," Joe said, pouring her a glass of water. "What price should we quote?"Harriet took a sip from the glass before setting it back down. "I don't want her money.""Then what do you want?" Joe asked."I want a 20% stake in the Munoz Group," Harriet responded calmly.A 20% stake was neither too much nor too little. If Nora truly wanted to use the Z-type potion to heal

    Chapter 183"Molly is so silly. Despite her condition, she reminded me of not telling Marc the truth, saying that she was afraid he would worry," said Selena."Aren't you doing the same for Yuri?" Harriet raised an eyebrow."Yes. I'm also silly." Selena shook her head and laughed bitterly.She had never told Yuri that she had liked him for a long time. But with his unruly and free-spirited nature, he would never like her and fulfill their engagement.She could only take advantage of him when he was drunk and sleep with him, using the child to bind him.But she didn't expect that even after doing all this, he still refused to marry her and kept postponing the wedding.Until now, she was already heartbroken.After chatting with Selena for a while, Harriet called Cory to pick her up and take her back to the island.Upon her return to the island, Harriet expected Delbert to be asleep.

    Chapter 184"What's wrong? Can you tell me?" Delbert asked softly, turning to face Harriet.Harriet shook her head. "I'm fine. I just want to hug you."She knew that as long as he was by her side, she could keep going."Silly girl!" Delbert affectionately scratched her nose, his face full of fondness. "No matter what happens, don't be afraid. I will always be by your side.""Okay!" Harriet responded....The next day, as dawn was breaking, Harriet rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up. She looked at Delbert, who was still sound asleep beside her, and smiled. Leaning over, she gently blew in his ear."Delbert, rise and shine!" she said.Delbert slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his ticklish ear, looking somewhat helpless at the mischievous expression on Harriet's face.He raised his hand and pinched her cheek. "You little mischief-maker.""I'm not a mischief-maker. You are!" Harriet retorted, making a face at him.She then lifted the covers and hopped out of bed.After getting

I will give you the shares."Eventually, under Nora's manipulation, Bessie agreed to transfer her 20% stake in the Munoz Group to Nora's name.Nora was ecstatic. Hidden behind her mask, her face was alight with excitement.With these shares, she could trade with the King organization for the Z-type potion to heal her face. Once her face was healed, she would exact revenge on Harriet, who had caused her so much suffering....On the island, just as they arrived at the hospital, Harriet's phone vibrated.

Then I married you. But would Lula let me off so easily?"Marc could guess what had happened, and he said, "It's all in the past. Don't dwell on it. I'm different from before. You can trust me and depend on me."Molly forced a smile and said, "You don't know. Because of your misunderstanding and torment, Lula had people insult and slander me.

Sorry to wake you up.""Well, the doctor told me that you had taken many antidepressants," Marc said in distress.Molly turned pale, not expecting the doctor to reveal her depression.The disease had been haunting her and reminding her of the unpleasant past.Molly met Marc's gaze and faltered. Her hands clutched the blanket, as she didn't know how to broach the topic."You're my wife. I have the right to know the truth," Marc said seriously.They had been together for so long, but he didn't know about this matter until an outsider told him.Molly bit her lip and shook her head. Unable to hold back, she cried out, "I'm sorry, Marc. I really..."Marc stood up and took her into his arms. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have rushed you.

"Mr. Welch, please wait outside," the nurse said, intercepting him.Marc looked at the closed emergency room, and anxiety caused him to feel breathless.After a long time, the doctor came out, and Marc urgently asked, "How is she?""After a series of tests, we confirmed that Harriet has stomach cancer," the doctor said solemnly.Marc was struck dumb. Even his ears were buzzing."What?" He trembled."Her stomach has suffered significant damage, and she can't eat many things," the doctor explained, sighing at Marc's dejected look."But she's always been fine? Did you make a mistake in the examination?" Marc said, looking at the doctor incredulously.He had been with Molly for so long, but he hadn't heard of her stomach discomfort."I know the res
