Sienna heard Lucy's voice and became nervous immediately. She asked, "Lucy?"Sienna followed Lucy's voice and came to the bathroom. She opened the door and found that Lucy had slipped and fallen to the floor in a pitiful manner.She immediately hurried over to help Lucy. However, the floor was slippery, so she almost fell in her rush. Lucy's heart jumped to her throat. "Watch out, Sienna!""Slow down, miss!"At the next moment, Walter caught Sienna swiftly. Lucy let out a sigh of relief, while Sienna was still reeling from the fear of her near-fall. If she had slipped and fallen, she probably would have lost her baby."Thank you."Sienna thanked Walter and went over to help Lucy immediately. Noticing that Sienna was pregnant, he moved ahead and helped Lucy to her feet first. Walter asked in confusion, "How did you fall, Mrs. Ripley? Where's Mr. Ripley? Why aren't any of your maids serving you?"Lucy said, "According to Tobias, the maids who usually serve me took the day off
"What in the world is going on with you, Ms. Everhart? Your injuries were serious to begin with, but you keep getting into accidents and coming to the hospital so frequently. "Are you trying to become permanently disabled? Are you sick of living? Is that why you keep torturing yourself like this?" The doctor sounded very stern as he scolded Lucy with a grim expression. He couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Lucy. This was the first time Lucy had been lectured by a doctor. She was so ashamed that her face turned red. "I'm sorry, but accidents keep happening to me.""Are you the patient's family? How do you guys look after her? Not only is she not recovering, but she has actually gotten worse. "At first, she had bone fractures on her hands and feet, so we put them in casts. Now, she has developed a new condition before her old injuries even had a chance to heal."Sienna asked, "What on earth is going on with Lucy, doctor?""Her bone fractures have gotten worse than before
Tobias was already annoyed that Maya had trespassed into his office. Now that she had spouted some incoherent nonsense, he was outright furious.At that moment, Tobias looked so terrifying that he looked like the devil incarnate. Maya was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble, and her heart skipped a beat. She knew she had gone overboard. Her hands shook as she reached behind her and ended the call. Tobias said coldly, "I think you're asking to be put behind bars, Ms. Hudson.""I was just joking with you, Mr. Ripley. Don't take it so seriously. Joey asked me to bring some supper for you. I came in here to leave it for you without asking you first. That was my bad."Maya pointed at the food container on the desk and said innocently, "Joey made me come here. She would have scolded me if I hadn't done it."Tobias sneered. "Heh. Are you trying to say that my mom doesn't respect boundaries and that you're innocent and harmless?"He had an icy look in his eyes. In fact,
Tobias heard the automated reply on the phone as the call was rejected. He couldn't help but feel confused. "Why isn't she picking up the phone?"He checked the time and saw that it was already 1:00 am. He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling exhausted. Tobias murmured, "She probably went to bed. I'll call her again tomorrow."At that moment, Finn knocked on the door and came into the CEO's office. "We need you to take a look at these documents urgently, Mr. Ripley.""Alright. Leave them there." Although Tobias was exhausted, he gathered his wits and threw himself into his work. He ended up pulling an all-nighter.…Sienna had managed to hire a private nurse, Griselda Simmons. Since Lucy was satisfied with her, the three of them hailed a cab and went to Riverwood Residences. Griselda put Lucy to bed. She wiped Lucy's body down meticulously and helped her get changed into a fresh set of clothes. Then, she pulled the blanket over Lucy. It was already 2:00 am by the time she was done. "E
At first, Joey had intended to lie and make up all sorts of stories to mislead Tobias. However, she was intimidated when she noticed his sharp eyes and domineering demeanor. She no longer had the guts to lie to him. She said reluctantly, "I'm talking about Sienna. She came here in the middle of the night and took Lucy away."Tobias let out a sigh of relief internally. "Are you talking about Sienna Lewis?"Joey nodded. "That's her."Tobias felt completely at ease when he heard that. After all, Lucy and Sienna were best friends, so he believed that Sienna would take good care of her. Joey looked at the door. "Why isn't Maya here? Did she return to Hudson Manor after she brought you supper?"Tobias gave her a cold sidelong glance and sneered. "Please don't interfere in my private life anymore, Mom. I can't stop you and Maya from cooking up schemes, but I'm not going to let you have your way.""What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand." Joey played dumb and asked ag
Sienna asked in a surprised tone, "Do you know Lucy?"She couldn't help but scrutinize Axel. She raised her eyebrows, noticing that he was dressed elegantly and was good-looking. She had an urge to set him up with Lucy. Lion had been running around in circles at the door. But now that Sienna was there, it instantly turned into a well-mannered dog. It looked at Axel with pleading eyes.Axel smiled faintly. "Yes, I know. I'm Axel Lyons, Ms. Everhart's neighbor. You seem to have forgotten, but we met each other once at the hospital. At the time, we were all rushing about and didn't have time to greet each other.""Really?" Sienna tried her best to recall, but she couldn't be sure if she had seen Axel before. Perhaps people were right when they said a woman's mind wasn't as sharp as it used to be once she got pregnant."How do I address you?""I'm Sienna Lewis."Axel said, "Can I go in and visit Ms. Everhart, Ms. Lewis? She fell off the cliff and got injured before. I took her to
The next day, Tobias woke up early in the morning. He was still feeling dizzy when he felt around the space next to him instinctively. He became wide awake when he couldn't feel the familiar warmth next to him. His eyes snapped open, and he sat up straight. It took him some time to remember that Lucy had left with Sienna the other night. He had a bad headache from staying up all night. Tobias scratched his head in frustration and went to freshen up. Just as he stepped into the bathroom, his phone rang. Lucy was calling him. On the other side, Lucy hadn't slept for a whole night. She knew she would keep feeling uneasy until she spoke to Tobias.So, she secretly dialed Tobias' number when Sienna wasn't looking. She wanted to get to the bottom of what she had heard that day. However, no one picked up her call, despite how long it rang. Lucy couldn't help but feel disappointed and imagine things. Back at Ripley Residence, Joey sat in the living room. She had been furious all n
Tobias hadn't lost his temper in a long time. Today, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on—he went ballistic."Tobias, put her down!"Tobias didn't put Maya down; instead, he tightened his grip and said coldly, "Mom, it seems like you have too much free time on your hands these days. There's a project that needs your attention at one of our branch offices. Please handle it immediately.""Branch offices?"Joey was perplexed. Since she and Zayne had gotten divorced, the Ripleys had never allowed her to touch any of the Ripley family's assets. She was confused yet surprised by Tobias' words. "Which branch office?"Tobias saw the excitement in Joey's eyes. He said with a sneer, "Faldoria."The expectant look on Joey's face was immediately replaced by disappointment and rage at being played for a fool.However, she swallowed it and didn't lose her temper with Tobias. She chuckled dryly and declined the offer. "Tobias, I haven't managed a company for many years. I don't t
