Lucy returned to Eberhard Residence, devastated.She hid in the room and cried until she heard Lisa's voice at the door. She collected her composure and opened the door."Lulu, why did you lock yourself in the room? Did something happen?"Lisa didn't know what was going on. Rhett had only told her to keep Lucy company. Then, she realized something must have happened."Mom." Lucy plastered a smile, but it looked worse than when she was crying. "Everything's fine."Lisa said, "A young person like you shouldn't lock yourself in your room the whole day. If you have something on your mind, travel or have fun with your friends. It's better than locking yourself in your room and wallowing in your misery.""I know, Mom." Lucy held Lisa's hand and said, "Mom, let's return to your room. I'll give you a bath with the medication I specially made for you, okay?"Lisa said, "Okay."They went to Lisa's room. Lucy prepared the bath and used a special bag to contain the medication. She placed t
After Tobias finished work, he had eagerly called Lucy because the latter had been cold to him during the day. Tobias felt unsettled, so when he called her to check up on her at night, he was cautious.Who would ever think Mr. Tobias Ripley, the CEO of Ripley Group, would be so fearful of his wife neglecting him?Little did he expect Lucy to answer the call so quickly and even say she missed him. Tobias' worry and concern instantly dissipated.Tobias laughed and said, "I've missed you too, babe. What were you doing? Were you busy the whole day?"Lucy said, "I'm with my parents…"She opened her mouth and wanted to tell Tobias about Millie, but she couldn't explain it over the phone.Tobias said, "Hmm, since you have your family now, you don't want me anymore, huh?"Lucy coyly said, "Why wouldn't I? My mother suffers from vision impairment, and my father isn't in a stable state. They require someone's company. Why would a healthy man like you be envious of two ill patients?"Tobi
Ross said in shock, "What? Does Tobias have an illegitimate child? Is this true?"Joey's eyes flickered as she said, "It doesn't matter if it's true. No one can tell what's true and what's not on the internet, as long as I get the results I want!"Ross said, "What do you want to do?"Joey said, "Dad, why don't you…"Joey explained her diabolical plan. A proud look appeared on Ross' face as he listened. "Okay, I'll do as you say. If something goes wrong with this plan, I will never visit you again!"Ross said his piece and left the police station. When he reached the door, he bumped into someone. Ross rudely said, "Watch where you're going!"He growled. When he saw the man in a police uniform, he guiltily scurried away. Miles straightened his jacket. He glanced at Ross and frowned, saying, "Why is he here?"A police officer said, "Cap, he came to visit Madam Joey."Meanwhile, Faith, who now wore casual clothes, walked toward the door. Then, she bumped into Miles. "Mr. Chadwick
Sasha said, "Where are you, Lucy? I'll come and get you.""196, Route 216."Lucy sent her location to her conversation with Sasha. Sasha replied with an "okay" emoji. Soon, she drove to Lucy."Get in the car, Lucy." Sasha wore a pair of sunglasses. She looked incredible and gorgeous.Lucy got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. "Why did you invite me to lunch all of a sudden? Do you not have a date with Brett?"Sasha's hands that held the steering wheel stiffened. She explained, "We broke up."Lucy couldn't believe how quickly that had happened.She said, "Did Brett mistreat you, Sasha? I'll teach him a lesson."Sasha said, "Don't. We agreed not to tell anyone about this. Plus, I've mentally prepared for this. I don't feel sad about it."Lucy had a look of disbelief. "Oh, is it? It's so cloudy outside. Don't you think your sunglasses are a hazard in this weather?"Taking advantage of the traffic light, Lucy took Sasha's sunglasses off. Sasha shouted. "Lucy! Give me my
After having lunch with Sasha, they busied themselves with what they needed to do. Sasha was busy packing her luggage, ready to go overseas. Lucy returned home and performed a second round of acupuncture on Lisa.After more than two hours of acupuncture, Lucy said, "Mom, we're done with the acupuncture for today.""Thank you for the trouble, Lulu," Lisa held Lucy's hand and said gently."Mom, why aren't Brett and Rhett back yet?""They are probably busy with work. Do you need to talk to them, Lulu?"Lucy nodded. "Yes.""If it's urgent, you can look for him at his company. I'll ask the driver to bring you there.""Okay, Mom. You've just completed a round of acupuncture. Lie down and rest for a while."Lucy guided Lisa to the sofa and laid her down. She covered Lisa with a blanket. "Go on with your day, Lulu."Lucy smiled slightly. "I'm taking off now, Mom."Lucy left. Suddenly, a ring of light flickered before Lisa's eyes. Lisa blinked and shook her head. The ring of light dis
The sudden news made Brett feel like the ground had shifted beneath his feet, unraveling his reality instantly. He was completely caught off guard.He covered his face in frustration, and his heart was in disarray. He couldn't make a decision. Lucy noticed his frustration and patted his shoulder.She sighed and comforted, "Brett, I know this matter came too suddenly. It must be difficult for you to accept it."Lucy remembered how she reacted when she found out Kate was Tobias' daughter. It was no different from how Brett was now.Lucy felt a tinge of pain in her heart. She said, "I was like this when I received shocking news too. When I found out about it, I cried for a long time. I took two days to calm myself down. Now, I've started to handle the matter better."Lucy suggested, "You should take some time off to cool down, Brett. You can decide what to do with Maya once you've collected yourself. Okay?"Brett knew Lucy was consoling him. He nodded and said gruffly, "Okay. Give
Lucy guided Lisa to the bed and covered her with a blanket."Rest well, Mom.""Lulu." Lisa held her hand and asked, "Where did you train medically?"Lucy said, "Mom, I learned it from my mentor but wasn't interested in medical studies. My mentor forced me to learn it, so I learned a thing or two."Brett and Rhett looked at each other, flabbergasted. Lucy was being too humble. She could cure an illness that had been around for decades in a few days. She would be a miracle doctor if word got out. Yet, she said it was only a thing or two that she learned.Lisa remarked, "Lulu, being too humble is also prideful. You are so skilled medically. Treating your infertility should be a piece of cake."Lucy blushed and said, "Mom, I'm not being prideful. I'm telling the truth. My mentor forced me to take medical studies. My theoretical knowledge of the subject is poor. If I want to treat my infertility, I would need to flip a book for reference from my mentor."Lucy appeared humble, but n
Lucy fell into a deep slumber. She wouldn't have woken up if Lisa didn't enter her room to call for her.Lisa said with concern, "Lulu, are you exhausted? You've slept the whole afternoon. How are you going to sleep tonight?"Lucy's voice was fragile, barely carrying any strength. "I'm okay, Mom. I think I've caught a cold. I feel weak and tired."Lisa said, "I've asked someone to get some medication for your cold. You should come and have dinner. Once you have food, you can sleep after taking the medication."Lucy thought about it and nodded. "Okay."Lucy held Lisa's hand and said gently, "Mom, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make dinner for you."Lisa held her hand and said, "You have a cold now. I couldn't bear to let you make dinner. I'll ask the helper to prepare our meal. Why don't you watch TV with me in the living room?""Okay."Lucy and Lisa sat on the sofa in the living room while the helper prepared their dinner in the kitchen. The current trending family drama
