Chapter 294

Harriet felt like the world was collapsing.

"I have to go to Imperium and find Delbert. I won't let anything happen to him. Please take me there," Harriet said, grabbing Cory's shoulder.

Cory tried to reassure her. "Madam, please calm down!"

"Delbert is in trouble. How can I calm down?" Harriet said in tears.

This was the first time she had shown her vulnerability in front of an outsider.

"I must go to Imperium. Let's go now, or Delbert will really be in danger.

"Let's go and find him together!" Harriet said, trying to leave the island.

She wanted to go to Imperium to find Delbert as soon as possible.

But Cory held her wrist, not allowing her to take a step away.

"I'm sorry, madam. Mr. Delbert instructed me that no matter what happens to him, I must never let anything happen to you. I must obey his orders and protect you. Please rest assured! I will find him," he said.

"How can I rest assured? Delbert has gone missing. Cory, please let me go to Imperium. I'm so w

    Chapter 295"Delbert, I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want it!" Harriet cried out in her dream.However, Delbert ignored her tears and turned around without hesitation."No! Delbert, don't go! Come back!" She screamed, waking up from her sleep.Her face was covered in tears and sweat.She was lying in a hospital bed, with Molly lying beside her. Molly was sleeping and holding her hand.The noise woke up Molly, and she rubbed her eyes.Seeing Harriet wake up, Molly immediately became wide awake and grabbed her hand."Harriet, you finally woke up!" she said."Molly? What happened to me?" Harriet asked in confusion.Wasn't she supposed to be in the villa on the island? Why was she in the hospital?"After Cory knocked you out, you didn't wake up. He got scared and took you to the hospital. The doctor said you were under a lot of stress and needed some time to recover. You were unconscious for two days and nights," Molly explained. "I was afraid you wouldn't wake

    Chapter 296Molly couldn't bear to see Harriet in such a distressed state, so she quickly came over to persuade her. "I think Cory is right. Going to Imperium won't help much now, and it might even put you in danger."You have to believe in Delbert's abilities. Maybe his disappearance is just a way for him to protect himself. If you go, you might disrupt his plans. It's better to wait for him in Meawood City. He will be fine!"Harriet got her point.Delbert was indeed capable. There must be a plan behind his actions. He was not the kind of person who would let himself be in a dangerous situation without taking any countermeasures.That must be it.She grabbed Molly's hand and said firmly, "You're right. Delbert is so capable. He will be fine and come back safely."I'll wait for him here, and I can't let him see me looking so haggard."So, Harriet went from being hysterical at the beginning to being calm, eating, and sleeping on time.She peacefully waited for Delbert to come b

    Chapter 297"Harriet!" Molly rushed over and helped her up. "Are you feeling unwell?"The sight of Harriet's vacant eyes made Molly worry.Harriet ignored her question and went back to bed.She turned to look out the window. It was sunny outside, but her mood was cloudy.Delbert had been missing for seven days."Are you worried about Delbert?" Molly cautiously asked.Upon hearing the name, Harriet trembled and started to shed tears."Molly, what should I do? I promised you that I wouldn't lose control of my emotions, but I can't control myself," she said. "I'm so worried about Delbert. He's been missing for seven days, and I feel like my heart has stopped beating!"She weakly curled up in Molly's arms. She had done her best to comfort herself, but as time went by, there was no news coming from Imperium. She couldn't take it any longer.She held Molly tightly and burst into tears.At that moment, she understood Delbert's worry and fear when he saw her in trouble.She was fee

    Chapter 298'What? Delbert is dead? How could such a powerful man like him die? He's the president of Carlson Group and a magnet in Meawood City!' Harriet thought.She couldn't believe this news, believing it was fake.Delbert couldn't possibly be dead."Cory, give me your car keys!" she said.Seeing Cory coming over to handle her discharge procedures, Harriet snatched his car keys.She wanted to go to Imperium to find Delbert.She wouldn't believe the news until she saw him with her own eyes.Cory was stunned by her action. As she hurried out of the hospital, he realized that Harriet must have read the news online.Not only her, but Cory didn't believe it was true either.Delbert was an omnipotent figure. How could anything happen to him?Cory watched Harriet leave and felt a sense of unease."Mr. Delbert, why haven't you appeared yet?" he muttered."Miss me?"Just then, a hand patted his shoulder from behind.It was Delbert's voice, and Cory felt that it was unreal.H

    Chapter 299After a moment, tears filled Harriet's eyes.Delbert was in disguise, wearing a black cap. His head was down, making it hard to see his face.Even so, Harriet managed to recognize him at a glance.Delbert looked up, his eyes filled with tenderness.But Harriet blurted out in confusion, "Is it because I missed you so much that I'm hallucinating now?"Delbert's heart softened. He cursed himself inwardly for making Harriet cry and feel so sad.He lowered his gaze, wiped away her tears, and spoke softly. "Alright, silly girl. You look ugly when you cry."But Harriet couldn't snap out of it. She couldn't believe it. She thought she was still in a hallucination. Otherwise, how could Delbert, who had been missing for so long, suddenly appear before her eyes?Instinctively, she reached out her hands and slowly touched Delbert's face.When she felt the real touch in her palms, she couldn't help but smile bitterly."I must miss you so much that even in a hallucination, the

    Chapter 300Harriet felt the same discomfort and pain as Delbert, who once feared she would leave him.Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall."I'm sorry. It's my fault!" Delbert apologized, lowering his head.It was his fault for making her worry.He paused and looked up. "Won't you consider giving me a chance to make it up to you?"He leaned closer to her.Harriet instinctively wanted to run away, but her legs couldn't move.While she was spellbound, Delbert took her in his arms and refused to let go."I was wrong, and I will explain to you. Stop crying now. It hurts me when you cry!" he said.But to his surprise, Harriet cried even more bitterly."You jerk, you can coax me. Why do you have to show such a fierce expression?" she snapped, accusing him.The rushing tears put Delbert at a loss. He didn't know what he should do to stop Harriet from crying.In fact, whether it was in his childhood, his past life, or this life, he had never been the kind of person wh

He tightly held Harriet, his voice full of affection."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept things from you," he said. "But I love you more than you love me."Harriet's last line of defense collapsed.She cried until she laughed and nodded. "I understand your feelings. From now on, we will face everything together!""Okay, I promise you!" Delbert smiled.The pain and self-accusation were gone from his face.He picked up Harriet and happily spun her around.Harriet's laughter brightened up the whole street."Okay, put me down now. I feel a little dizzy." Harriet smiled broadly.Only then did Delbert put her down.Harriet felt a little dizzy, but her face was filled with joy."Let's go home!" Delbert said.He put Harriet in the car and headed straight for the island.A

    Chapter 302Delbert rubbed his sleepy eyes and frowned at the sound of Harriet's restrained sobbing. He reached out and took her into his arms."Silly girl, why are you crying again?" he said.Harriet choked and said intermittently, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were injured. I shouldn't have misunderstood you earlier. Does your back hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?"Delbert chuckled and rubbed her head. "It's okay, sweetheart. Such light injuries are nothing to me. Don't worry or cry. I'm fine."But his words only served to make Harriet feel more guilty."I'm sorry. I should have trusted you and not been angry with you," she apologized.Delbert knew that Harriet was overthinking again. He gently brushed her nose with his finger."I'm really okay. Well, stop crying. When I went to Imperium, I didn't expect Shawn to suddenly attack me, which caught me off guard and delayed my return. I made you worry."As for the fake news of my death, it was deliberately spread by me t

Delbert smiled, leading her toward the Ferris wheel.Delbert bought two tickets, and they got on the Ferris wheel hand in hand.Throughout the ride, Delbert held Harriet's hand tightly, while his other hand secretly took out an engagement ring from his suit pocket.Harriet saw it and finally realized what was going on.It was a surprise that Delbert had prepared for her.Delbert went down on one knee and spoke solemnly, "Ms. Harriet Munoz, would you be willing to marry me?"His eyes shone eagerly.

    Chapter 782Marc wondered if Molly had developed depression at that time.Molly slowly sat up and said, "You were forced to marry me, so you must have been angry, right? I remember everything!"Marc held her hand and listened quietly.His heart was in turmoil, but he didn't know what to say.Molly didn't want to recall those things, but today she had to bring them all up."I bumped into Lula scheming against you and was forced to sleep with you. 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. Those things eventually led to my psychological trauma, causing my depression. Do you understand now?"Marc looked at her pale face and felt a sting of guilt.It was his fault.He held Molly in

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

Delbert praised.Relieved, Ben scratched his head and said, "Thank you, sir.""You've been with me for a long time. Do you think I should give you a raise?" Delbert said.In Ben's mind, his current salary and the benefits provided by the Carlson Group were quite good, but who would refuse more money?"Is it okay, sir?" he tentatively asked.Delbert fell silent.
