Derek Norton was drunk. He shouted outside the ward and treated the hospital as his home.He never cared about his reputation anyway.Derek thought that people would think highly of him as long as he had money. Thus, he could be as arrogant and unreasonable as he wanted.Selena lay there with a pale face as she looked up at the ceiling.Selena could hear Derek pounding on the door and the caregiver’s trembling voice when she called Mitchell.As Derek slammed on the door, Selena’s heartbeat stopped.Derek stirred a big commotion in the hospital.The doctor on duty called the police, and the door to the ward was almost broken. However, Selena still did not make a sound.When Mitchell arrived, Derek had already stopped.Mitchell called Eric, who was a little drunk and in a bad mood. Thus, Mitchell had to settle this himself.Looking at the smashed door, Mitchell looked solemn.The caregiver came out apprehensively.“Mr. Crawford.”“How is Ms. Nelson?”“She’s fine, but she do
There was a faint smile in the man’s eyes.Mitchell felt that Clayton was as sly as a fox. Clayton could see through everything but did not expose it.Eric was certainly at a loss.Mitchell felt sorry for his boss.He smiled awkwardly and said, “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”Clayton raised his eyebrows.“Sure. I can’t walk too much, so I won’t send you off. By the way, if you want to send me a gift next time, remember to send it to my office!”Mitchell was speechless and fled in despair.Anyway, that gift was already off his hands.After Mitchell left, Nicole came out of Grant’s office.She opened the door happily and looked at the man inside with a smile.“Let’s go?”Clayton raised his eyebrows. “You managed to ask for some time off?”Nicole nodded.She asked for some time off and left as soon as she did. If Grant had not appreciated her hard work during this time, he would never let her go on vacation.Clayton beckoned to her. “Come over and see if you l
The handsome young doctor next to Chatty could not help but laugh.Nicole picked Chatty up and said with a smile, “Well, let’s not take this as an example. Next time, if you pretend to be sick and don’t go to school, I’ll make you take extra lessons with Levi.”Chatty nestled in her arms and nodded obediently.Clayton sighed helplessly and looked at the doctor apologetically.“Sorry, I didn’t know…”The doctor fully understood and did not mind at all.“It’s okay. A false alarm is the best result.”They exchanged pleasantries and left.Chatty hugged Nicole, but her eyes were glued to the handsome young doctor until they went to the corridor and reached the entrance.Clayton was behind and said lightly, “Put her down and let her walk by herself.”Nicole agreed and put her on the ground.Chatty held Clayton’s hand and raised her head with a smile on her fair and tender face.“Daddy, I really like...”Like that handsome doctor?“No way.”Clayton interrupted her in a cold voi
Clayton pursed his lips. “Mr. Churchill, I’d like to thank you for taking care of Nicole during this time. I heard that the project went well?”Euan paused and changed the subject.“Yes, indeed. The government has created some policies to support the reconstruction of the area after the earthquake, so it went smoother than expected. Now, the project has started to make a profit...”They had a pleasant meal.In the end, Clayton was not bothered to listen to Euan’s drunken talk, so he stood up and went to the window to get some fresh air.Nicole sat there patiently and looked at Euan with a smile.Euan was a chatterbox and could talk with any woman with ease.In the end, Euan glanced at Clayton and looked away.He leaned forward cautiously and said, “Ms. Stanton, I heard gossip two days ago. Do you want to know what it is?”“Nope.”“I’ll tell you anyway. A buddy of mine saw Eric Ferguson in the hospital two days ago. Do you know what he was doing? He was donating blood!”Euan
Nicole and Clayton walked slowly for about forty minutes before they arrived at the high-end community where they lived.Clayton was not tired as he pushed Nicole and chatted with her.When they walked to the door, the security guard inside ran out to greet them.Clayton lowered his head and asked her, “Do you want some water?”After chatting the whole journey, Nicole was really thirsty, so she nodded.Clayton went to the security room to get water.Nicole sat in a wheelchair and looked around. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful.In the distance, a tall and thin man was walking a Samoyed heading toward Nicole.When the Samoyed saw Nicole, it wanted to run over to her.The man was dragged over as he cursed at his dog.Nicole could not help but laugh. The man looked familiar to her. He was probably a resident here.The man was surprised to see Nicole. He smiled and said, “Ms. Stanton, what a coincidence! Are you feeling unwell?”Nicole smiled as if nothing was wrong and l
Levi, as the eldest kid, set an example for his younger siblings to study hard.Thus, he consciously started to tutor Chatty and Fischer.Floyd was satisfied to see this.By the end of the study session, Chatty did not need to be coaxed to sleep. She fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.......Selena stayed in the hospital for a few days and was able to walk around a little.She just could not run, jump or do any strenuous activities.The caregiver took care of her well, and her complexion was rosy again.Selena called Eric, but no one answered.She could see that Eric would not answer her calls.Selena was not disappointed either.She called Mitchell, who was only free to show up at the hospital in the afternoon.“Ms. Nelson, have you figured out what you want as compensation?”They did not mind paying for her medical expenses.Selena did not talk about compensation, which made Mitchell worry that she would extort Eric and cause trouble.Selena nodded.S
Quinn pursed her lips.“The servants you hired aren’t well-trained. They spend all day catering to Chance. If this continues, Chance will become a spoiled kid…”Eric interrupted her, “So, you’d rather them ignore Chance and let him fend for himself? Just like how you threw me abroad to live on my own back then?”Quinn choked.“That’s not what I mean. I just want to change a group of servants. I’ll take care of Chance myself.”Eric pursed his lips. A sharpness flashed across his eyes, and his voice was cold.“It’s a tiring chore to take care of children, so forget it. Let the servants take care of him. You can just rest.”Quinn’s face was glum.“I won’t feel tired taking care of my own grandson. Are you afraid that I can’t take care of him well?”Eric looked at her silently for a few seconds. His voice was a little cold.“Mom, the servants are taking good care of Chance, and he gets along well with them. They’re all professional nannies and childhood education specialists.”A
Selena always had a good memory, so she recognized the drunk girl from that day.She knew that the girl got drunk on purpose too.Nicole was just about to go up to say hello to Selena with her skirt in hand when she suddenly saw a drunken man appearing behind Selena.The man violently twisted Selena’s shoulder and slapped Selena without saying a word.Nicole’s face turned pale.“Watch out...”She watched as Selena got beaten and fell toward the stairs like a piece of paper.Nicole was startled and wanted to reach out to catch Selena, who was falling, but her high heels got stuck on the stairs.She did not have time to think about it, but at the critical moment, she still stretched out her hand.Selena did not have the strength to hold on to the railing next to her and fell straight down the stairs.As soon as Nicole touched Selena’s shoulder, she felt a huge impact, so she fell back involuntarily.In such a sudden situation without any preparation, Nicole could not bear the
