Bryan could not contain his excitement when he heard about the robot toy. He thus held Lilin's hand and followed her.The balcony door in the bedroom was open, allowing a cool breeze to waft in from outside. Sophia closed it shut as soon as she walked in. "No wonder you caught a cold! You left the balcony door wide open on this cloudy day! You must've caught a cold from the draft!"Zachary looked calmly toward the balcony, wondering if he had forgotten to close the balcony door when he came in after his physiotherapy.It was a good thing that Sophia did not suspect anything. After closing the balcony door, she turned to help him onto the bed. "I'll help you onto the bed and cover you with a blanket so you can keep warm. The doctor will be here soon."Zachary raised his hand and declined. "I'm fine. Don't bother calling a doctor. You should go and spend time with your father. It's been a long time since you've seen each other, so I'm sure you'll have a lot to catch up with him."So

Corinne made herself comfortable and sat on the edge of the bed. "It's the weekend, and I have nothing better to do since I don't have to go to work."Zachary frowned. "You should avoid coming in the morning. I know you're agile, but there's a big risk you'll get caught whenever you sneak in through the window. You need to be more careful."Corinne crossed her legs nonchalantly and said, "I'm bold enough to come here because I know I won't get caught."Zachary felt somewhat powerless and remarked in a sour tone, "Fine. Do whatever you want. It's not like I can tell you what to do.""Are you angry?" Corinne glanced at him.Zachary had a sullen expression as he turned his wheelchair to face the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out and said, "No."Corinne then uncrossed her legs and approached him. She turned his wheelchair so he was facing her. "Pfft! Where did you get the nerve to be upset with me?"Zachary looked up at her. "I'm not upset with you. You're simply doing as you p

Corinne was only teasing him, but Zachary looked into her eyes and said, "Maybe I have."Corinne was taken aback and looked at him skeptically. "Is it that easy for you to fall in love with someone? You're such a jerk!"Zachary was speechless.Corinne seemed to be very stubborn.He lost his temper and pulled her into his arms. Though he could not move his legs, his upper body strength was not to be underestimated.Before Corinne could react, Zachary pulled her into his lap and clutched her waist tightly."You're very familiar to me, even though I don't remember you. I wouldn't describe what I feel now as love at first sight. It's more like friends at first sight. But, I will admit that you intrigue me."Corinne struggled as hard as she could but was unable to free herself from his embrace. She eventually decided not to waste her energy struggling. She was not so much worried about being in close contact with him as she was about putting too much pressure on his already infirm le

Sophia then said, "Well, you don’t need to move then if you're already lying down. I'll ask the hotel staff for a key and bring in the medication for you. The sooner you eat it, the better." She then proceeded to leave."Wait," Zachary called out to her.Sophia stopped and asked, "Yes, Zachary?"Zachary replied, "Don't trouble the hotel staff for a key. I'm already getting dressed. I'll open the door for you once I'm done."Sophia responded, "Are you out of bed already? Be careful, okay."Zachary exchanged glances with Corinne, and she wordlessly broke free from his embrace. Corinne stood up, opened the balcony door, and left.After Zachary closed the balcony door, he moved over to tidy up the sheets before undoing two of his shirt buttons. He then went to open the door for Sophia.Sophia scanned the room instinctively after she entered. Something seemed to be amiss, but she was somehow unable to pinpoint what it was.Zachary saw her glancing around and asked, "Where's the medi

Before Sophia left, she felt a gust of wind blowing over her and turned to look at the balcony. She had closed it tightly before, yet it had been opened slightly again."Why is the balcony door open again?" she asked concernedly.Her question startled Zachary a little, and he immediately glanced at the balcony. "It was a little stuffy in the room, so I opened it slightly to let some air in."Sophia withdrew her gaze from the balcony and looked at Zachary. She then said worriedly, "You're sick, so you can't expose yourself to cold air. It should always remain closed."Zachary nodded and assured her, "I'll close it in a moment. You can go on ahead."Sophia did not say anything further, but her gaze lingered on the balcony door for a moment before she left.Zachary closed the door again after she left. There was no movement on the balcony, suggesting that Corinne had already left. He lowered his gaze to his open palms and looked at the two pills he avoided consuming earlier.Sophia

Melinda no longer wished to talk about Sophia with Lilin. "Let's leave it at that, Lilin. Now go spend some time with Benjamin."Lilin shrugged and turned her head to look at Benjamin. He was busy playing with his toys on the other end of the sofa. "Benjamin's changed a little, Mom."Melinda glanced at 'Benjamin' curiously and asked, "How so?"Lilin tilted her head and said with frustration, "He used to be very quiet. He never talks, and he never smiles a lot either. He was a bit distant with me when we met today, but he became talkative later on."Melinda felt that her daughter might have been overthinking things. "Children are like that. They tend to open up once they get used to their surroundings. Don't read too much into it."Lilin, however, was convinced that things were not as simple as they seemed. "I just can't help but feel that Benjamin looks like someone I know, someone I've met before.""And who might that be?" Melinda asked."I don't remember," Lilin answered with

Corinne had never brought Bryan and his siblings on faraway trips because she was worried about their safety. She insisted they should wait until they were older. As a result, the three of them had never gotten the chance to witness mountains or rivers.He marveled at the paintings and said, "If these are already so beautiful, I can't even imagine how awesome it would look in real life. I wish I could see it in person."Lilin was reminded of Sophia's 'control freak' nature when she saw his longing expression. Sophia rarely allowed him to venture outside.He had a very challenging upbringing. As if being taken away from his biological mother right after birth was not bad enough, he had to be raised under the watchful eyes of a heinous stepmother."I'm not even that good at art. The painting by my art teacher is so much closer to the actual scenery. Let me show it to you," Lilin said. Since she was too young to take her little nephew to experience those sights in person, she was very

When Bryan saw the painting being taken back, he gazed at Lilin in confusion and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to give it to me? Why are you taking it back?"Lilin rolled her eyes and replied annoyedly, "I agreed to give you the painting, but I didn't say you could give it to Sophia." She harbored a very strong resentment toward Sophia and believed that the woman did not deserve to be given that painting.Bryan felt a bit disheartened. "But Sophia isn't..." he tried protesting but stopped himself before he could finish his sentence. He could not afford to reveal his true identity as it might make things troublesome for his father. He decided to wait until he could put Corinne in touch with Lilin so she could purchase the painting.Lilin was eager to hear what 'Benjamin' was about to say and urged him, "Finish your sentence. Sophia isn't…?"Bryan shook his head and replied, "No, forget about it, Aunt Lilin. You're right. I shouldn't use the painting you gave me to make Mommy

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
