Chapter 948The ward finally quieted down. Only Sherman and Dr. Zack were left in the room. The nurses had all gone out. "Ms. Holmes, are you seeing some else?" Dr. Zack asked. Sherman didn't know Dr. Zack much. They had only met a few times. They would smile and say hello if they ran into each other. And that was all. As for private chats, they were not such acquaintances. So Sherman just responded with a nod. Seeing that Sherman didn't want to continue the talk, Dr. Zack shut his mouth sensibly. He didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he had already gotten what he wanted to know. After leaving the room, Dr. Zack called Natalie immediately and told her the latest news. Natalie was taking a break in the coffee room. When she heard the news from Dr. Zack, she was thrilled with joy. The anxiety and frustration that had plagued her for two days finally dissipated. She hadn't been so happy in a long time. She felt a sense of joy spreading throughout her bod
Chapter 949Moriah frowned. She sounded displeased, "Sarah!" "What are you shouting so loud for? She's pregnant now, with another man's child! Do you think there's any possibility that she will get back with Billy?" 'Pregnant?', Moriah was slightly stunned. She furrowed her brows. At that moment, Natalie, who had been silent, also spoke, "Although I'm not supposed to say anything here, I have to say it anyway. Ms. Holmes, if you had told Billy you were pregnant at the beginning, he would have given up a long time ago. But why didn't you tell him? Did you do it to satisfy your vanity, or were you deliberately enjoying the feeling of being pursued by men, or were you trying to get back at him?" "Since you know you shouldn't talk, then shut up! This is my business. You don't get to tell me what to do! The best thing you can do is to steal another woman's husband!" Sherman sneered. She didn't give Natalie a glance. However, Sarah immediately understood Natalie's wo
Chapter 950Billy was laughing, and it was loud. His face was slightly twisted. "You think I can't find another woman besides you?" Sherman took a sip of water and reminded him kindly, "I'm sure there's a perfect one out there right now." "Sherman!" Billy was enraged, and he roared. "You've always been a proud man. It is an exception this time. Rest well. There is no need to get mad. I still have things to do, so I'm leaving." Billy was, after all, a patient. His legs were weak. By the time he chased her out the door, Sherman was already gone. He stumbled. He fell off with one knee on the ground and he looked like a wounded beast. Moriah and the others came over, and together they hurriedly helped Billy to bed. Moriah showed a concerned look for his son, and Sarah showed indignation at Sherman. As for Natalie, she had a worried look on her face, but she was thrilled with joy inside. In addition, Moriah knew clearly now that it was impossible between
Chapter 951…Christian shook his head and turned on the TV. He must watch the news every day. It had been his habit for years.Then a piece of news was broadcast on the TV. Suddenly, Kingsley's nonchalant face changed color, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly.The next second, his tall body stood up. He stretched his strong arm and grabbed his black coat from the coat rack. Then he strode out the door…In Santabaca…The news was about a developing property. The construction was not yet finished, but the foundation was found to have sunk, and there were slight cracks in the walls. To make matters worse, a worker had fallen off the scaffolding to the ground and died. It was definitely breaking news. At the company front gate, a large group of journalists gathered there. They literally blocked the place. When they saw Sherman, the journalists all rushed up and surrounded her. It didn't matter when she started to be in charge of the project, at the beginning or in the middle
Chapter 952Kingsley folded his legs one upon another. His large warm hands clutched her hands in his palms. Fondling her hands, he tried to warm them up. He was holding her hands the whole time. They spent a long time at the police station. The police asked Sherman a lot of questions since she was in charge of the project. Sherman was frank and she made it very clear. She just took over the project in the middle. She told the police they needed to ask Yanny about the specifics because she didn't know much about the previous work. Kingsley was sitting next to her. She was talking, and he was listening. She wanted to deal with it on her own, so he stayed out of it. She was going to do things her way. If she couldn't handle it, he would step in and help her. He would always protect her. All the questions the police asked were basic inquiries. The police recorded their statements. But it was just the beginning, far from the end. When Kingsley and Sherman walked ou
Chapter 953"Yes, I like to hear you tell me the truth. I've been away for so long. Has everything been hard for you?" He asked. Sherman was silent. After a while, she looked up, narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled, "Does thinking about you count as hard work?" "I like it when you work hard in that way. You know what? It's the sweetest complaint about hard work I've ever heard…" Kingsley spoke slowly. He was looking intently into her eyes, without a blink. Then he held her tighter and kissed her passionately. Just as they were about to lose themselves, Sherman pushed him away gently and went to take a shower. Kingsley let her go. He was in such a pleasant mood. He felt content, relaxed. He loved how he felt being with her. No one had ever given him this kind of feeling before.… On the other side… Billy hadn't eaten anything all day. His handsome face was gloomy like the cloudy sky. Ever since he heard that Sherman was pregnant, he had been d
Chapter 954Sherman’s words embarrassed the police, and the manager did not look well.The police said Sherman was implicated in this case anyway and that they needed to investigate further.There must be some monkey business behind such a big project, and the manipulators' background must be strong. Their purpose was to find a scapegoat.However, they did not find the right one.When Sherman went to the police office, Kingsley called Lee to investigate this matter.It was one thing for Sherman not to let him help, but it was another for him to want to help her. Sherman was his woman, and he allowed her to be independent, but there was a limit.And Billy was waiting for Sherman to beg him.The result of the investigation was still pending, and this matter had received wide coverage in the press. It was rumored that this project was shoddy construction.Some people said the builder had no conscience and only cared about money. It was not even completed yet, and there were so man
Chapter 955Sherman didn't say anything but went straight to pack her stuff.Meanwhile, Billy squinted his narrow eyes and leaned lazily on the bed. He asked, "These days, it must have been a tough time for you, huh?" Sherman didn't respond. She didn't want to know what he meant by that question. "If you abort Kingsley's child and marry me, then I would be glad to get you out of the trouble." Billy made it clear enough. Sherman sneered in response. She knew Billy was always proud but did he fancy every woman wanted him? For the present, Sherman didn't want to taunt him. Besides, there was no need to talk too much to a selfish person like him, right? Just as Sherman was about to leave, Billy threw out the words, "I'm waiting for your answer." If it weren't for the fact that he got wounded because of her, Sherman would have smashed her luggage bag into his face. The moment she was about to step out of the ward, she answered him si
