Chapter 1377And the knife could not be pulled out, or Luke would bleed to death before he got to the hospital!Afterwards, Kingsley picked up Eileen and walked towards the car at a steady pace."Thanks," Eileen frowned in pain and spoke weakly.She used to think that Kingsley was too dignified and unapproachable, yet he looked different at this moment."You'd better not talk at this time, or you will lose more blood..."Kingsley dropped his eyes slightly and looked at Eileen's face. "You and Luke go to the hospital first. I'll be right behind you guys..."Eileen nodded, but she still frowned. "Is he... Is he ... okay?""Maybe yes, maybe no. But I hope he is safe and sound just like you do!" Kingsley replied.The car left, but Kingsley turned around and walked back inside the abandoned old factory.Those gangsters had been subdued. They were now kneeling submissively on the ground.Seeing Kingsley coming in, the bodyguard beside him put a chair behind him. Kingsley sat dow
Chapter 1378Just then, Kingsley's phone rang. It was Sherman calling. She asked how it was going.He answered in a soft voice, "Luke and Eileen have been sent to the hospital. I'll be back soon. Okay. Bye."After hanging up the phone, Kingsley ignored the gang on the ground and directly asked his men to call the police.He was no longer hot-tempered now.He had only done such a bloodthirsty thing twenty years before. However, when he saw the body of the innocent person lying in the abandoned factory, the bloodlust in his heart was stirred.In the hospital…Eileen's wound was bandaged. She sat by the door of the emergency room and fidgeted because Luke had not come out yet.Luke had been sent to the operating room with that knife.It took them so long to get to the hospital, and the knife was stuck into his chest all the way, so there was no way she couldn't be scared.A few moments later, Kingsley and Sherman arrived. They carried their son and held Brad's hand.As soon as
Chapter 1379Although Kingsley’s son was still young, he was quite obedient. Staying quietly in Kingsley’s arms, he didn’t cry or make any trouble.While waiting outside the operation room, Eileen was overwhelmed with anxiety. Luke’s condition must be rather critical, otherwise his operation wouldn’t take so long.She was so scared that her mind completely went blank. She couldn’t remember anything but Luke’s comfort to her.She thought to herself over and over again, ‘He will be fine! He will be fine!’She didn’t dare to think too much or imagine the worst result, or she might be unable to bear it.As time went by, the sun had already set behind the mountains.The door of the operating room finally opened, and the attending doctor came out wearily. “Is Mr. Wright here?”“How is my friend?” Kingsley asked hurriedly.“The wound is too close to his heart, but fortunately, the operation is quite successful. Now we’ll transfer him to the general ward. If he had been sent here a little lat
Chapter 1380Eileen nodded and held his hand.“Go to sleep now. I’m right here and I won’t go anywhere.”Luke felt reassured and slowly closed his eyes.Eileen maintained the same posture.Just then, her phone rang.She picked up the phone and found that it was Ruben calling...Luke just closed his eyes and fell asleep. It was not good for her to answer the phone now, for he would be woken up.Thinking of this, Eileen directly hung up.The ward quieted down, and only their low soft breathing could be heard.It was because of the silence that Eileen finally calmed herself down and sank into a reverie.She began to think about her experiences over the years and various people she had met.She also thought of Kingsley’s words.He said it was really lucky to have someone willing to give priority to your needs and even sacrifice his own life to save yours without hesitation...No one had ever risked his own life for her, except Luke...Eileen’s mind became a mess, and she had never felt so
Chapter 1381Then the father and son quieted down. They didn't dare to make another noise. When it was bedtime, Brad refused to sleep in the adjoining bedroom but insisted on sleeping with Luke.Eileen wouldn't let him since Luke had been injured in the abdomen.Besides, Brad was always restless during sleep. He might kick about and hurt Luke's wounds. But Brad could not be convinced. Luke showed an indulgent look as he wanted to sleep with his son.Unable to dissuade either of them, Eileen vented her spleen on Luke. "Your abdomen is injured."She turned around and sulked to Brad, "He may die."Once again, the father and son fell silent. After a while, Luke gazed at her and suggested, "Sleep here in the middle and separate us. It will be fine."Eileen's chest was heaving with anger. Upon hearing that, she looked at him with rounded eyes. "Let's sleep together. I'll be on the left. You will be in the middle. Brad will be on the right."Luke added, curling his thin lips
Chapter 1382Early the next morning. Luke felt refreshed and had a high color. His mood could not be better. Eileen glared at the two resentfully. Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Ruben. Eileen thought for a moment and answered it. Ruben wanted to meet her at a café nearby. She agreed. As soon as Luke heard that, his face fell, darkened, and turned livid like the weather in June. In an instant, he covered his wounds. "Ouch." His implication was clear. He wanted her to stay instead of going to see that damn eyesore!"I'll be right back. Give me about ten minutes. It won't take long. Brad will keep you company."Since she was so determined, Luke knew that it would be pointless to say more. Therefore, he shut his mouth. In the afternoon, Eileen left for the appointed café. The moment she went out of the room, Luke had his eyes fixed on the watch. He was calculating how long it would take her!Brad felt bored and started drawing.Luke frequently loo
Chapter 1383Eileen continued to look him in the eye and replied, "Out of responsibility and guilt, I could do things like last night."Luke gasped for air and stiffened all over. Like a timebomb, his rage threatened to break out at any second. Like a sharp knife, her answer stabbed his heart. He closed his eyes and said when he opened them again, "Then sleep. You and I. One-time thing. Since you value responsibility and guilt more than principles, come on!""This is where my principles lie. What you just said is my bottom line," she said. "Lying down and sleeping together is different from a one-time thing.""In other words, if you sleep with me, you will no longer owe me anything. How about it?""No!" she rejected flatly without hesitation. When Luke heard that, he suddenly burst into laughter that was dark, strongly ironic, and sad. "Keeping your chastity for him?" Eileen was silent.Silence was acquiescence. He got it. Luke propped his big hand against the edge of
Chapter 1384After a long time, Luke said in a hoarse voice, "You don't need to stay here tonight. You can go back now."Eileen froze and put down the fruit plate in her hand."If you stay here out of guilt, you can go back now. I'm already much better."She glanced at him and nodded slowly.Then she looked away and walked out of the ward.The ward quieted down. Luke sat there.Facing the black sky, he seemed to think of something and called Brandy to send Eileen home.The atmosphere was dull and tense. He felt pain in his wounds.He seemed to feel pain in his chest and other places all over his body.He couldn't bear it, so he took a cigarette out of his pants pocket, put it in his mouth, and started smoking.But his chest hurt all the time....Eileen returned to the hospital.She looked pale. When she went to see Ruben, she vomited blood twice more.As soon as the doctor saw her, he said seriously, "How dare you leave the hospital during chemotherapy?"Eileen smiled,
Chapter 1814Before Jazz came to pick up Essa, his elder brother told him he should give candies if he was blocked out of the door. The big brother got experience in his own wedding years ago. Jazz kept it in his mind. At the moment, under such circumstances, he generously distributed candies to everyone. Jazz was a smart guy! People were happy with the candies. They let him in and stopped making trouble for him. People were just having fun on their wedding day and making the atmosphere livelier. Essa's wedding dress was custom-made by the most famous designer in Paris. Summer had arranged it for her. It looked gorgeous on Essa. The wedding dress had a fishtail, which set off Essa's slender waist even more as if it could be grabbed in one hand. The dress was low-back, showing her fair skin. Under the light, Essa looked amazing! Essa was so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful! Stepping on her crystal high heels, she walked slowly towards Jazz. The distance wasn't long,
Chapter 1813The neck was Essa's most sensitive spot. She felt itchy if someone touched her there, let alone that Jazz clung tight to there for so long. She could barely stand it. Her body was squirming timidly. "Don't seduce me!" Essa was angry, "I'm not seducing you! Just sleep! But can you not cling to me so tight?" "Why? Are you turned on by me?" Essa was lying with her back to him, her cheeks blushed, and she hissed, "Who is turned on?" ‘What the hell! The man is like a sex machine!’ "Since you are so sure of it, let me check you out." Essa wanted to kill herself, but before she did, she wanted to kill him first! "Are you lying, babe?" Jazz deliberately drawled. "Get away from me! If you don't want to sleep in the guest room, go sleep on the couch! I cannot sleep with you clinging to me so tight!" But Jazz ignored her demand. Essa's whole face had turned red, so red as if it was about to bleed. "Jazz!" "You can be louder. I'm fine with it anyway
Chapter 1812Jazz naturally had no objection because he couldn’t wait to get married. He had always been determined, and as long as he made the decision, he would never change his mind!Now that he had decided to marry her, he must do it!Essa had heard her words. Although she thought it was a little too hasty, she kept silent, giving tacit consent.They were getting married in fifteen days! It was really fast!But because the bridegroom was Jazz, she was not panicked at all. She was calm because cuddling up together with him like this made her feel happy.That night was not easy. Jazz was like a wolf who had been hungry for decades, and he would not let go of the delicious meat that had been put in front of his mouth.They had sex for another whole night. Although Essa was strong, she was no match for a man.Her legs and waist were so weak that she had to support her waist with both hands in order to stand up. She thought Jazz should not have been so horny even if he had hadn'
Chapter 1811Jazz lowered his head slightly and kissed her.Essa could not pretend to be sleeping any longer, so she opened her eyes and pressed her hands against his chest."Morning, baby." He stared at her tenderly and asked, "How did you feel last night? Are you satisfied?"She glared at him, not wanting to speak.But she didn't know her eyes were full of tenderness and love now.After the sex last night, Jazz could not resist such a temptation anymore.He bowed his head, intending to kiss her."Get up! I have to go to work! If you dare to kiss me now, I will definitely beat you up!"Jazz didn't kiss her but shrugged his shoulders.He was not afraid of her threat, but he knew it was her first time last night. He thought he could not ask her to make love again in the morning. Otherwise, she would be too tired.Essa was satisfied to see him give up. She glanced at the time and found she was about to be late, so she didn't want to waste time chatting with him anymore.But w
Chapter 1810"Why are you so sensitive?" Jazz smiled lightly, enjoying her current reaction."You’re talking nonsense! You are hugging me too tight. Back away..." She blushed slightly, keeping twisting her body.She had never had such intimate contact with a man before, so she felt hot all over and acted unnaturally."Do you think this distance is too close? We will be closer…"Essa couldn't take it anymore, so she stretched out her hands, pushed against his chest, and said, "Stop it!""Why? You have to get used to this. We will have more intimate interactions, so you have to get used to..."She felt a little scared about such intimate contact.Jazz pressed his body against hers tightly. The scenery outside was blurry at night, and the two of them were alone in the same room, so it was easy for them to become turned on, and sparks were flying between them.His long fingers began to take off her clothes.Soon, she was naked. Jazz picked her up and placed her on the bed."I'm
Chapter 1809Jazz opened the car door for her with a smile and said, "Baby, have an enjoyable time at work."After finishing speaking, he started the car and stepped on the accelerator, and then, the car disappeared without a trace, leaving Essa standing there in a daze.But she still needed to enter the police station to work. Even if she stood here for two hours, she could not solve the problem. There was no point in evading issues, so she decided to get in. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked in, keeping her eyes looking straight ahead.However, even if she didn’t look at others, others would still look at her. Along the way, many people stared at her.They had not expected Essa to be so open. She had actually done such a thing at the gate of the police station!Essa felt her cheeks were burning, but she still forced a smile and tried to be a thick-skinned person.She was hypnotizing herself.When she got into her office, she felt as if she had been flayed by the gazes
Chapter 1808"A few years. Why did you call him a bastard?""You still care about him? I just want to call him a bastard. Don't be silly. There are few innocent men like me. Think about it! It is cost-effective for you to marry me. You have never been married before, and neither have I. To be honest, with my appearance and status, it was not easy to stay single till now. Don’t you think it's very touching?"Hearing this, Essa was completely speechless."It's not touching at all. Are you sure you’re not impotent? Why are you a virgin till now? As you said, you have enough merits to fascinate others!"Hearing this, Jazz on the other end of the phone became sullen and said, "Are you doubting my potency?"Women’s suspicion was the most intolerable thing to men! How could she doubt his sexual potency? It had hurt his pride!"I didn't doubt it before, but you emphasized it over and over again. It is you that made me feel suspicious..." She took a sip of water. Compared to his exaspe
Chapter 1807Essa had told her that Summer was also from an ordinary family. Seeing she and Mark were so affectionate to each other, she felt relieved and believed that Mark was a good man.It was hard to imagine such a handsome man with a high status would be the same as an ordinary man when he was with his family.On the other side of the table, Essa was putting food on Jazz’s plate, while Jazz was picking out fishbones for her. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, showing genuine love to each other.Essa’s mother let out a sigh of relief.After dinner, Mark insisted on sending the three of them home. Essa shook her head repeatedly and rejected because there were a lot of taxis outside the hotel."This is our first dinner together, so we must send you home. In this way, we can know where you live…"Although Mark's words were polite, they had an irresistible sense of solemnity.Jazz had wanted to refuse too, but after hearing Mark’s words, he swallowed the words back.
Chapter 1806Jazz walked over and handed her red roses."You're too high-profile!" Essa kneaded her forehead with her hand, feeling a headache."Don't you like it?" Jazz smiled."I like it very much." She took a deep sniff. The roses were exuding a light fragrance, making her mood good."My brother and sister-in-law want to have dinner with you and your family tonight. Do you want to meet them?"Essa blinked, "Didn't we meet before?""Yes, but it's not formal. This time, it will be a formal meeting at the Grande Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening…"Essa rubbed her forehead, then went home, and told her mother about the dinner. Her mother was a little worried. She had only met Jazz before, and Mark was a big shot that she could only see on TV. When he suddenly wanted to meet them, Essa’s mother felt nervous.Essa kept comforting her, saying there would be no problem because Mark was very approachable and easygoing.She then changed her clothes and put on makeup. Later, Jazz
