Blake said, "But, Dr. Stewart, if you go to the hospital now, I'm afraid Cecilia will harm you. Moreover, I believe she has people secretly watching you. She'll surely hurt you as soon as you leave the research institute."Kai smoked the cigarette in his hand. Despite the bitterness in his tongue, the nicotine provided him with a stimulating effect. He casually flickered the cigarette ash and said, "Do you really think so highly of her? She isn't the only smart one in the entire Ventropolis."Anyway, she's just a parasite. Can you guess why, despite being the CEO of the company for such a long time, she still doesn't have the highest authority and can't make the most significant decisions in the company?"Blake replied, "Why?"Kai looked at the person next to him and said, "This isn't something I could tell you. You have to find the answer yourself. Why didn't Kevin tell you anything at all?"Blake shook her head, "He kept a lot of things from me."Kai smiled, "You should take th
At midnight in SereneCare Hospital, a nurse diligently checked on Zach, who was lying on the bed, unconscious. Unexpectedly, she noticed the machine monitoring his heart rate decline gradually. She then immediately pressed the emergency call button.The on-duty doctor rushed over, asking, "What happened? What's the current condition of the patient?"The nurse anxiously explained, "His wound still hasn't healed even after a long time. I was just about to administer medication to him when I noticed a significant amount of bleeding from his wound. I've already asked another nurse to fetch blood bags from the blood bank."The doctor responded, "Contact Dr. Griver immediately and ask her to come perform surgery on this patient. This surgery has been delayed for too long; we can't afford any more delays."The nurse replied, "But Dr. Griver mentioned in the last meeting that there's a sharp fragment near the patient's heart. It's not easy to remove, and the slightest mistake could cut thr
After walking out of the elevator, Kai stopped and advised Fred, "Cecilia's triumph won't last long. Regardless, it's Zach's affair. Mr. Turner, I hope you will show her some mercy."Fred responded, "You don't need to remind me about this. You only need to focus on saving Zach's life."Kai replied, "Of course."He then proceeded to the operating room. When the head of the cardiology department, ready to take the lead in the surgery, saw Kai, he greeted him as if he saw his savior. "Dr. Stewart!"Kai patted the doctor's shoulder and said, "Thank you, everyone, for all your hard work when I wasn't in the hospital. We can't waste any time now. Let's quickly complete the surgery as I need to go back. And you, I need you to assist me.""Okay."Kai wore a sterile medical gown before entering the operating room. When he entered and saw Zach on the surgery bed with an oxygen mask, he said, "Long time no see, Zach!"He thought, 'I've never seen you in such a miserable state.'Meanwhile,
A nurse exclaimed, "It's back. Dr. Stewart, the patient's heartbeat is back."Kai let out a sigh of relief, though he remained vigilant.He thought, 'Zach, oh Zach! You indeed couldn't let her go even when you are on the brink of death.'Kai said, "The fragment has been removed. Now, pay attention. We'll perform the final stitching procedure. There's no room for error."Everyone was on high alert, "Okay."The surgery lasted about seven hours. At half past nine in the morning, the surgery finally concluded.Outside the operating room, a deputy warden informed Fred, who was resting with closed eyes. "Mr. Turner, Ms. Harper has awakened. Should we go back now?"Blake, who had dozed off leaning against the wall, immediately woke up upon hearing Mya's name. When she noticed Fred, who had stood up, was about to leave, she quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Turner, I'd like to ask. Are you the person who has Cecilia under control? How is she now?"Fred glanced sideways at her, "She won't
Upon smelling the savory aroma of pork ribs, Blake groggily opened her eyes and realized she was at home. Without much thought, she knew that the person cooking outside was Liam.Blake's stomach kept growling. Hungry and weak, she quickly put on her shoes and rushed toward the table, where a plate of grilled pork ribs was placed. She then grabbed a piece of it and started eating.Liam also made clam chowder. When he saw Blake, he smiled and walked to her. He said, "Eat slowly. Everything on the table is for you."Blake said, "Liam, I want to eat spaghetti."Liam said, "Sure. I'll get that for you right now."He then served her a large plate of spaghetti and provided her with a fork. This is something he noticed about Blake over this long period of time.After having a plateful of spaghetti, Blake was finally full. Then, she drank a bowl of soup.Feeling satisfied, she let out a burp.Liam handed her a tissue, "Do you still want to eat?"Blake replied, "No, I'm full. Thank you
A nurse holding a medical tray intended to apply medication to the wounds on Cecilia's body. When she stood outside the door and heard Cecilia's angry shouts from inside, she hesitated and dared not to enter the ward.Cecilia's miserable curses could be heard continuously. She yelled, "Why?! Why do they all want to go against me?!"Agustin frowned lightly, showing no emotion. After spending such a long time with him, Cecilia still never truly understood him. He was very mysterious. Regardless of what happened, he seemed capable of staying detached and maintaining a composed demeanor.When he saw Cecilia had gone mad, he carried her to the bed and covered her with a blanket. He said, "Did I not tell you? Don't do anything else besides focusing on giving birth to my child."She looked like a mentally disturbed person. Her eyes were red and carried a hint of fierceness as she replied, "Don't forget, we had a child; he killed it." She grabbed Agustin's hand and placed it on her abdomen
After Agustin left, Blake entered the ward holding sunflowers in her hand. She pondered, 'When I arrived just now, I think I saw the man who seemed to have come out of Cecilia's ward.'When she saw Agustin's figure, she felt a sense of familiarity as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she could not remember where.Blake withdrew her gaze and looked at Cecilia, lying on the bed in a sorry state. Bruises covered her face, and the scars on her neck and arms were clearly visible. Blake, lips pursed, had an indescribable sense of frustration and irritability. However, compared to these feelings, an overwhelming inner turmoil consumed her.Blake did not expect that Fred saying Cecilia would not die meant he would cause her to be in this state. She said, "You don't look like you're hurt."She then put the flowers at the bedside. With smiles all over her face, Cecilia was very happy to see Blake. She placed the freshly cut fruits in front of Blake, saying, "These were just cut. Try
Blake could not refute what Cecilia said at all. She could not even utter a word. Cecilia continued to press on her, saying, "Blake, Madelyn isn't that great. How about managing the company with me? I'm the CEO, and you'll be the Deputy CEO. Jardin Corporation belongs to us."Seeing that she was still so stubborn, Blake shook off her hand and said harshly, "Don't try to brainwash me and tempt me with these pretty words. I know what you're up to. I just came here today to see if you're dead."The bodyguard brought in the washed fruits and placed them on the bedside table next to Blake.Blake stood up without looking at Cecilia. She was lost in her thoughts, 'What did I actually expect? That she'd change? Her greed will only gradually become more uncontrollable. She seems to have lost her mind and wants to hurt Madelyn.'She said, "I thought I could persuade you, but you're beyond help. Keep your fruits to yourself; I'm worried they're poisoned."Cecilia shouted, "Blake!"Blake ign
