Chapter 1670

Author: Cher the Cherished
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

    Sunny was talking to Corinne outside the door when he saw Lucas coming out, causing him to hide behind Corinne.Lucas simply glared at Sunny, not wanting to give him any attention. Instead, he walked over and said to Corinne warmly, "Let's get you home."Corinne nodded and followed him to his car.Before leaving, Lucas turned and ordered Sunny, "Stay here and keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid again!"Sunny nodded vigorously. "You got it, Lucas. I won't leave his bedside for even a second!"Lucas turned and walked to the elevator with Corinne.After making sure they had gone into the elevator, Sunny sighed in relief.'Thank goodness Lucas is gone. For a moment there, I thought I was going to get beat up again,' thought Sunny happily as he entered the ward."Dad, now that you've seen Luna, you have to make sure to eat well and take your medicine."Maxwell forced a smile and said, "Thanks, Sunny. I know your brother can get to you, so I appreciate you do

    Not many people were in that part of the hospital, and it did not look like any normal procedures would be done in such a corner.Corinne thought Sophia was up to something terrible again, so she leaned against the consultation room door to listen to what was happening inside. Fortunately, the door did not boast good soundproofing, so she could hear the conversation clearly.Inside the consultation room.Sophia said politely, "Doctor Kingsley, it was me who made an appointment with you yesterday for my husband. We'd like for you to examine if he'll regain full use of his legs."Doctor Kingsley nodded. "You must be Miss Sophia! Everything is ready on our side. The nurse will wheel your husband in for his examination shortly.""Oh, thank you so much, Doctor Kingsley!" said Sophia gratefully. She then said to Jeremy gently, "Don't worry, Zachary. Doctor Kingsley is the most famous orthopedic surgeon in his field, so I'm sure he can heal your legs!""Okay," said Jeremy impassively. I

    Corinne swiftly turned and rushed into the special examination room to find Jeremy. However, Lucas grabbed and dragged her into an empty utility room.It was a good thing he did because Sophia came out of the consultation room that very second."Miss Sophia, the procedure will take forty minutes, so you may walk around the hospital until then," said the doctor at the door.Sophia silently glanced at the special examination room as her emotions grew tumultuous. After a while, she said, "Please be gentle with him."Doctor Kingsley smiled and nodded. "Don't worry. We'd advocate for him to act independently and only intervene if there was no response from him.""Alright, then. I'll leave it to you," said Sophia worriedly before turning and leaving.Doctor Kingsley suddenly smiled sinisterly the moment Sophia's back was turned, and he walked into the special examination room.All of this was seen by Corinne and Lucas through the crack of the door.Corinne could not hold back anymore

    The nurse looked visibly guilty and antsy, but she simply smiled and said, "I see. Alright, then."Jeremy put the glass of water aside. He was sure the water was spiked with something, so he would never drink it.At that moment, the door of the examination room was pushed open, and in walked Doctor Kingsley.The nurse quickly stepped forward and said, "Doctor Kingsley, Mister Finnix said he already drank a lot of water before he came here, so he didn't drink the water I gave him."Doctor Kingsley glanced at Jeremy, then at the paper cup on the cabinet with a frown. After that, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! He doesn't need to drink it if he doesn't want to. Go and get the drug ready; we'll start the test after that."Knowing what Doctor Kingsley meant, the nurse nodded and walked to the drug cabinet to take out a few vials of liquid. She then filled the syringe, put it on the surgical tray, and brought it to him.Jeremy glanced at the vials of liquid and asked, "Excuse m

    The nurse, on the other hand, blushed shyly.Doctor Kingsley said nothing else and instead turned to the nurse. "I'll leave you to him. Bring me the goods after you've collected them."The nurse nodded. "Yes, Doctor Kingsley. I'll complete the mission."Doctor Kingsley glanced at her before leaving the room with the perverted smile still on his face."No need to panic, Mister Finnix. You'll feel the drug's effect very soon," said the nurse when she saw Jeremy's impassive demeanor.She walked over to the door and locked it from the inside before turning to smile coyly at Jeremy."Mister Finnix, I'm going to play a video for you to set the mood. Call me when you're ready, and I'll help you with the rest."Jeremy frowned. He had not even figured out what the nurse meant when he suddenly felt his body growing hot while a weird sensation grabbed hold of his lower body.The nurse aimed a remote control at the ceiling, and a projector screen dropped down slowly. The curtains automatic

    Jeremy felt his strength leaving him at that moment. He looked at the nurse contemptuously and growled, "For my own good? No one in their right mind would think doing this is for another person's own good!"The nurse's heart beat even quicker as she gazed into Jeremy's handsome face. She envied Sophia for having such a handsome husband, though it was a pity his legs and his…family jewels. She took it upon herself to help Jeremy get back his dignity as a man."Mister Finnix, Miss Sophia really loves you. She's only doing this because she wants to give you a child. And we're professionals, so you just need to relax. Very soon, I'll be able to finish…"Jeremy's pupils shrank. He finally understood what they were going to do to him! Sophia had been saying she wanted another kid, and he had been avoiding giving her a definite answer. Thus, she took things into her own hands."No! You shouldn't believe what she said. We already have a kid! No. Don't. No!" Jeremy tried very hard to resist

    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
