Just like that, Beatrice and Cedric went out, leaving Maxwell and Sunny alone in the room.Sunny pulled up a chair and sat beside his father's bed. "How are you feeling, Dad? Are you thirsty?" he asked, concerned. "Do you want me to get you a glass of water?"Maxwell shook his head. "I'm okay." He then looked at the door thoughtfully and asked, "Sunny, where's your brother? Isn't he back yet?""He's back in his room. He was the one who told me about the secret room. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find you! Do you know that Grandma and Grandpa even called the police to look for you? Don’t ever go missing or drink alone again. You can just ask Lucas or me to drink with you!"Maxwell looked at his younger son with relief, thinking he had certainly grown up. At the same time, he laughed self-deprecatingly at himself."Okay, I promise you I won't drink alone anymore. But you should know that Lucas will never drink with me."Sunny gave it some thought and realized Maxwell was right.

"Do you think I can ever stop worrying about Corinne?" asked Lucas.Sunny understood what he was feeling. After all, the person Lucas cared about the most in the world was Corinne."Sigh! I'm also worried about her, but I have a hunch that she and Jeremy will reunite and live happily."Lucas glanced at him and responded softly, "Okay. Go to sleep, Sunny."Lucas looked really tired, so Sunny thought he should not bother him anymore. He nodded and turned around, but before he went out of the room, the butler suddenly barged in and said in a panic, "Mister Lucas, something happened Mister Maxwell! He… H—He…"The butler's face was pale, and he was in so much of a shock that he could not properly get his words out.Lucas and Sunny frowned."What's the matter? We've found Dad, haven't we?" asked Sunny.The butler was old, and his whole body was shaking when he spoke, "Mister Maxwell he cut his wrists, and there was so much blood…"Sunny's eyes widened in horror. "What?!"Lucas frow

Maxwell really looked as if he was about to die.Sunny was so frightened that he quickly pushed Lucas away. "Lucas, you shouldn't say those things to Dad now! It's more important to save him first!"Lucas scoffed. "He won't die so easily. He needs to live so he can atone for his sins!"As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of an ambulance could be heard coming from outside.…When Maxwell woke up again, he found himself lying on the hospital bed in a ward that reeked of the smell of disinfectant."Dad! You're awake!" exclaimed Sunny worriedly as he leaned in on him.Maxwell was stunned for a moment, but his gaze became riddled with pain when he realized that he had not escaped his unbearable life after all.Sunny sat by the bed and said, "Dad, promise me you won't do stupid things like this again! You have so much going for you, so why would you want to end your life? Grandpa and Grandma still have no idea you're in the hospital. They're going to pass out with shock again

"Corinne already has her hands full with everything that's going on. Not to mention, she's also busy trying to get Jeremy out from under Sophia's thumb. I don't think we should add to her problems," warned Lucas in a deep voice.Sunny's heart naturally went out to Corinne, but he was not going to sit by and do nothing when his father was dying!"But—""Enough! I forbid you from calling her!" warned Lucas again."Fine," said Sunny reluctantly. Even so, he made up his mind to ask Corinne for help when he saw how pitiful Maxwell looked lying on his hospital bed.'Lucas only says I can't call her. He didn't say anything about going over to the Holdens' estate to talk to Corinne. I'm just doing what he's telling me not to do,' thought Sunny.…The next day, Maxwell refused to eat when he woke up. He looked at Sunny dully and asked, "Where's Luna? When is she coming to see me?""Dad, please eat something first! I haven't called Luna yet. It's so early, and she might still be sleeping

"Corinne, I'm begging you… Dad really doesn't want to live now. I'm afraid he'll do something stupid again. Please… Please…""I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do," said Corinne indifferently.She had no feelings for, nor any memory of, her so-called father, so she did not care about him.Moreover, Maxwell was responsible for Emily's disappearance, so it would be like Corinne was betraying her mother if she went to see her father.'No way in hell am I going to visit him,' she thought.She turned to go back into the mansion when Sunny suddenly knelt in front of her, blocking her path.Corinne was a little taken aback. "What are you doing?" she asked with a frown."Corinne, I beg you... Please…come with me to the hospital to cheer up Dad. I'm really worried about him. He won't eat or take his medicine. I wouldn't have come to you if there was another way. Lucas forbade me from asking you for help, too…"Corinne did not know what to say to him.Sunny tugged at her clothes piti

As they rode the elevator, Sunny told Corinne, "Just try to cheer up Dad as best as you can. I'll be standing guard outside."Corinne frowned and glanced sideways at him. "Why do you need to stand guard outside? It's not like we're doing anything shameful."Sunny shook his head. "No, no. It's not that. I'm just afraid Lucas will find out about this. He's definitely going to beat me up then. He warned me several times yesterday not to bother you with this matter, but…for my dad's sake, I had no choice."Corinne simply scoffed.Ding! The elevator door opened.Sunny led Corinne to Maxwell's ward. When they went in, the servants were trying to coax Maxwell into eating, but he simply laid and stared at the ceiling as if he did not hear anything.Sunny sighed helplessly, then cleared his throat to attract attention, which made the servants retreat automatically.Sunny led Corinne to the bedside and said to Maxwell, "Dad, Luna's here to see you."Maxwell's pupils shrank, and he turn

Corinne shook her head. "I don't know you, so how can I hate you? Mister Maxwell, I don't have any memory of you at all, so no, I don't hate you. But I don't like you, and I don't want to have anything to do with you."Maxwell looked at Corinne with pain in his eyes. However, he also felt that that moment was the happiest he had been in the past 20 years.After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Corinne, you and your mother are so alike. She also talks to me like that."Corinne frowned and rolled her eyes in disgust. "Don't bring up my mother! You're not worthy to talk about her!"Maxwell was not surprised by her reaction; Lucas also said the same thing to him before. He sighed and apologized, "I'm sorry. I…"Corinne did not have the patience to listen to his useless explanations anymore."I don't want to hear any of your explanations! I only came because Sunny got down on his knees to beg me, so you should keep living for that kid's sake. Don't do anything stupid again! T

Lucas' gaze hardened. "Stop talking nonsense, and move out of the way right now!"Sunny was scared to death, but he did not move. Needless to say, he was scared stiff.Lucas was at the end of his patience. He pushed Sunny to the floor and opened the door to see Corinne sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, feeding Maxwell some soup. The scene was so idyllic that Lucas thought he was imagining things, and the anger on his face gradually faded.Sunny, too, was shocked when he saw the scene after getting up from the floor.Corinne did not want to visit Maxwell, yet she was actually feeding him soup at that moment.Corinne did not do it because she had forgiven Maxwell, but because she could not bear to see how pitiful he looked when he tried to feed himself with trembling hands. There was even blood seeping out from the bandage on his wrists.After snapping out of his shock, Lucas turned and glared at Sunny. "I told you to not call her, didn't I?"Sunny laughed awkwardly while r

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
