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
However, Kai often would not respond to Blake's messages unless it was something urgent.Almost half a month had passed since Zach's surgery.At Vanguard Hospital, in the garden downstairs, the nanny carried the baby boy while Kai held the baby girl. The weather today was nice and sunny, so Lana sat in a wheelchair basking in the warm sunlight.She asked, "Aren't you going to reply to her?"Kai's phone vibrated more frequently in recent days. He was afraid of missing messages from the research lab, so he did not put his phone on silent. However, the messages he received in recent days were not from the research institute.Irritated, he took out his phone from his pocket and decided to block Blake.He responded, "She's annoying, so I'm just going to ignore her."At Jardin Corporation, Blake was sitting in the office and sent Kai a message: [Dr. Stewart, I'm still young, and I really don't want to be forced into marriage so soon. Help me!]After sending it, Blake realized the mes
Cecilia glared at Kai furiously as all those unbearable memories flooded back. But she quickly suppressed her emotions and forced out a smile as she said, "With my current status, no one cares about how I used to be. What matters to people now is how I can benefit them. With the power I have now, I can change all of Ventropolis."Kai suddenly laughed. He had a disdainful expression as he turned to look at Cecilia. "Do you really think you're all-powerful? Cecilia, whether it's you or Zach, no single individual can control everything. There is always a balance, and this balance can never be disrupted."Cecilia did not take Kai's words seriously. She fiddled with the fallen leaf near her. "Enough. If Zach heard what you just said, he'd just ignore it. I won't listen either."I'm here to tell you that if you want to hide, it's best to stay somewhere I can never hurt you. Of course, don't give me the opportunity to harm you either. Besides Madelyn, you're the first person I'll go after.
Lana said, "Am I really that scary to you?"Kai replied, "I..." As a doctor, he had seen his own share of nude bodies, but he just could not look at Lana's body.Kai had his own reasons, but Lana did not know.His feelings for her started when she married Andrew, and he began plotting to take her away from Andrew. Kai had done everything in his power to ruin Andrew. Later, when Lana mistook Kai for Andrew, and still could not forget Andrew even after being hypnotized, Kai finally realized he had failed in his attempts to win her over.Kai could not face Lana now. Even as a doctor, he was unable to look at Lana when her breast was exposed.Seeing that Kai still had not turned around, Lana cried.He finally turned around after hearing the sobbing behind him. He sat on the bed and comforted Lana, saying, "I'm sorry. I overreacted."Lana wiped away her tears and pushed Kai's hand away. "There's nothing dirty about me that made you keep looking away from me, right? Or is this child n
Kai said, "This bracelet is for Zach, that ungrateful man. If it weren't to make him wake up sooner, I wouldn't have to make up this lie and have her take risks just to send this bracelet to Ventropolis."Lana did not know what happened, and she did not dare to ask further for fear of causing any trouble for Kai. She responded, "Go take a shower and sleep soon. Also, don't disturb the children; they've just fallen asleep."When she saw the child who had been drinking milk had already fallen asleep, Lana pulled up her shirt and handed the child to Kai. Kai then carried the baby and placed the baby in the twin crib nearby.Kai said, "I'll go take a shower now. You should sleep soon."Lana responded, "It's okay, I'll wait for you."Kai stretched his hand to rub her head. "I still need to look at some documents later. You don't have to wait for me, get some rest." He suppressed his emotions, turned around, and walked out of the room. There was a separate room for visitors in the ward
Blake glanced at Liam. "I'm with Liam, and we're heading to the company for work. Do you need something?"Kai replied, "Perfect timing. Both of you go to SereneCare Hospital. I have something that I need your help with. Go there now."Blake responded, "By the way, Dr. Stewart, why couldn't I reach you when I called?"But before she could receive an answer from Kai, he had already ended the call.Blake, frustrated, put away her phone. "Liam, do you have any idea why he wants us?"Liam shook his head. "I'm not sure. Let's go over and see what he needs.""Okay."Coincidentally, both their cars arrived at the entrance of SereneCare Hospital at the same time. Kai got out of his car, and Blake walked up to him. "Dr. Stewart."Kai responded, "Let's talk while we walk."Kai, upon seeing Liam beside Blake, sized him up quietly. However, Liam, avoiding eye contact, seemed to sense that Kai knew something.Blake, who was kept in the dark, could not sense anything unusual about the situa
