Lilin was still reeling from the shock of the car accident so she could not take in anyone's words. She cried even louder and shook her head fiercely. "I want my mommy! I want my mommy! I want to go inside to my mommy!"The nurse was at a loss for what to do. She tried to coax her gently, "The doctor is trying to save your mommy right now. You just have to wait here until she comes out since kids are not allowed into the emergency ward. Be a good girl and listen to me. Wait here quietly. You might affect your mommy's treatment if you keep crying and shouting like this."Her words did not affect Lilin. She continued to cry for her mother. "Mommy! I want my mommy!"The nurse became frustrated. She was at her wit's end."What's going on here?" Corinne asked after she came over.The nurse looked at her and sighed helplessly. "There was a serious car accident on Third Avenue. This little girl's mother sacrificed herself to protect her. My guess is she's not going to make it out of that

"The patient and I are strangers. I just so happen to pass by here and am willing to donate my blood," Corinne replied.The doctor was awed by her generosity. "It's certainly rare to come across someone as kind as you nowadays. Quick, take this kind of samaritan to do a blood test. You have my permission to collect her blood once the result comes back clear.""Yes, Doctor Kingsley," said the nurse with a nod.…Corinne followed the nurse to the blood collection room. She brought Lilin along with her because she was worried the little girl would start crying outside the emergency ward again. Lilin knew Corinne was going to donate blood to her mother, so she docilely followed her to the blood collection room. The little girl never so much as made a peep along the way.After collecting a sample of Corinne's blood, the nurse immediately sent it to the lab for testing. Her result came back with the confirmation of Corinne being Rh-negative so the nurse got ready to collect more of her

It was understandable that the hospital would not let a pregnant woman donate blood. They were just doing the responsible thing after all. Thus, Corinne was left with no choice but to look for someone who could spare some Rh-negative blood.The reason why Corinne was so confident she could find someone like that was that, at that very moment, two people were related to her by blood in this very hospital. One of them was Lucas and the other was Sunny. Lucas, especially, had a very high chance of having Rh-negative blood since they came from the same mother.Corinne left Lilin with the nurse; she promised the little girl she would be back within ten minutes, and then she went to look for the two brothers.…Meanwhile, back in the most expensive private ward room which was located on the topmost floor of the hospital, Lucas was still lecturing Sunny about his studies, his hobby of secretly hacking into other people's systems, and so on.Sunny listened to Lucas with his head drooping

'Why would Lucas want to talk to me alone at a time like this? I wonder what is he going to tell me.' Corinne was a little reluctant to talk to Lucas since she already confirmed Sunny to be Rh-negative. Thus, there was no need to waste her time on Lucas.Sunny was more naive than Lucas. That was why he was willing to donate his blood. Lucas, however, would ask for something in return for his blood."Mister Lucas, can we talk about whatever you want to talk about at a later date? I don't have the time now," she then turned to Sunny and said, "time is of the essence. Let's go!"Sunny wanted to go with her but chose to stay where he was when he saw the look Lucas was giving him.Corinne frowned when she saw Sunny not moving. She turned to look at Lucas and the man simply stared back at her."He won't go with you unless I've explicitly given my permission," he said indifferently. "You have two options now, Miss Corinne. One is to step outside and listen to what I have to say and two i

Corinne was completely speechless. The absurdity of the situation gnawed at her bones like a bitingly cold wind. The image of Lilin sobbing her heart out while she was waiting for her mother to come out of the emergency ward appeared in her mind, causing her to take a deep breath and say, "Okay, I promise you."Lucas let out another satisfied smile. "Your resolve impresses me, Miss Corinne. I trust that I have your word. Let's go."Corinne nodded, turned around, and headed straight to the elevator. Lucas followed her into the elevator and just like that the two of them made their way down to the blood collection room. It was eerily quiet in the elevator as there were only two of them inside.Lucas thought he should say something to break the silence so he casually asked, "Are you friends with the car crash victim.""Nope. I don't even know who she is," replied Corinne emotionlessly.This surprised Lucas very much. He looked at her in disbelief. "You don't know who the car crash vi

Corinne leaned casually against the wall and said nonchalantly, "I've always been very healthy so I know my body can handle this much. Besides, I'll only need to take some supplements later to be as good as new. Thank you for asking though."However, Lucas noticed her face was gradually getting paler by the moment. He frowned and said mockingly, "Well, you certainly treat others better than you treat yourself."For some reason, Corinne could not help but think he was denigrating instead of praising her but she could not care less even if he was. Instead, she said seriously, "Mister Lucas, can I uphold my end of the bargain on another day? Even though my body is perfectly alright, I still think it's best not to have surgery right after donating blood."Lucas narrowed his eyes. "Miss Corinne, are you trying to go back on your words?"Corinne shrugged and chuckled drily. "If you insist, I don't mind doing it right now."An indescribable feeling akin to pity started to rise in Lucas's

"Okay!"Thus, Corinne and Lilin left the blood collection room and went to wait outside the emergency ward for Lilin's mother to be wheeled out.As soon as they stepped out of the blood collection room, the two nurse interns on duty started gossiping with each other."Hey, did you hear that? It sounded like the good-looking man who came to donate his blood is asking Miss Corinne to get rid of her baby.""I know, right? Sigh, and here I thought there was finally a good-looking man who was decent too. Well, turns out he's just another deadbeat sc*mbag who doesn't want to take responsibility for his child."The nurse intern on the left curled her lips and shook her head. "I don't think they're romantically involved with each other. They look more like siblings to me. Don't you think they bear a passing resemblance to each other?"The nurse intern on the right gave her question some thought before replying, "Now that you've mentioned it, they do look alike! But it could be because th

Meanwhile, outside the emergency ward.After a seemingly unending hour passed, the emergency ward door finally swung open, and the medical staff wheeled out the unconscious patient on the hospital bed."Miss Corinne, we've managed to save the patient thanks to you," said the chief physician.Corinne nodded and said nonchalantly, "Glad to be of help."Lilin threw herself onto the hospital bed. She looked sadly at her mother and kept crying, "Mommy! Mommy!"The nurse bent down to comfort her. "Don't cry, little girl. Your mommy needs all the rest she can get. You can talk to her after she wakes up so be a good girl and let her rest."Lilin nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll be a good girl and do as you say."Corinne walked Lilin to her mother's ward.According to the medical staff, the hospital managed to contact Lilin's family members, who were rushing over to the hospital as they spoke; they were expected to arrive in the afternoon.Corinne was relieved to know someone wo

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
