"Faith, did you register me under my real name?""I know you don't want to expose your identity, so I gave you an alias—Banshee.""Banshee?" The corner of Lucy's lips twitched. The name sounded too ridiculous. Lucy stopped and said, "I'll finish the thesis tonight before dawn.""Great!" Faith said, "I'm looking forward to your masterpiece, Lucy!"After Lucy ended the call, Tobias came over with Agatha in a wheelchair. Lucy turned and saw the joy in Howard's and Agatha's faces.She went to them and asked Tobias, "What did the doctor say, darling?"Tobias said, "The doctor asked Grandma to return for a follow-up every month. As long as she takes her medication on time, her condition will change for the better."He held a prescription in his hand and said, "Babe, please look after Grandma. I'll get her medication."Lucy nodded and said, "Okay.""Lucy." Agatha said, "Do you think what happened was really a misdiagnosis? We went to a few hospitals before, and they all confirmed I h
As Tobias drove, he said, "You were quivering like a leaf the last time you watched a horror movie. Let's watch a different movie."He wasn't interested in movies, but he didn't want Lucy to feel afraid."Okay." Lucy looked for more options. "Let's watch this romantic movie then."Tobias nodded. "Okay."Lucy bought two tickets. Soon, they arrived at their destination. When they entered the cinema hand in hand, it caused a commotion.Everyone knew the internet sensation and dynamic duo, Tobias and Lucy. When the crowd noticed them, shrieks of excitement sounded around them. "Look! It's Tobias Ripley and Lucy Everhart!""I am so lucky to bump into the match made in heaven who made me believe in love again!"The shrieks of excitement made Tobias uncomfortable. He frowned and pulled a long face as if he would destroy anyone who dared inch closer to him.His intimidating and cold exterior frightened many of the fangirling ladies.Lucy looked at him and said coyly, "Darling, you loo
Lucy hugged Tobias and gently stroked his back soothingly, saying, "Silly, I'm right here. Why would you lose me?"Tobias leaned on Lucy for a while and felt his headache dissipating. His complexion improved as well. He thought about it and figured he must have been bothered by the nightmare he'd had before. He said, "Yeah, you're right beside me. Where should we go for stew?"Since they'd finished the movie, it was time for dinner. Lucy searched for a restaurant online and asked, "How about this restaurant?"Tobias nodded. "Let's go."When they were about to leave, someone knocked on the private room door. The manager respectfully asked, "Mr. Ripley and Mrs. Ripley, can I open the door?"They looked at each other and smiled. Then, Tobias said coldly, "Sure."The manager opened the door and gave them a professional smile. He was quick-witted and asked Lucy, "Mrs. Ripley, are you satisfied with the movie experience today?"Lucy smiled and said, "Very satisfied."The manager
Tobias unexpectedly collapsed.Lucy screamed. Her heart stopped when Tobias collapsed as she frantically shook his unconscious body. She screamed. "Darling, what the matter? Wake up!" Her agonizing cries had attracted a crowd. Thankfully, they'd worn face masks, so the crowd did not recognize who they were. A kind passerby said, "Someone had collapsed. Quick, call an ambulance!"Lucy's eye twitched. At that moment, she felt something terrible was about to happen. She felt as if her world was about to fall apart.Lucy wailed and asked, "Darling, how could you collapse? What happened to you?" She felt helpless, like an abandoned child.The onlookers surrounding her couldn't bear the sadness. Someone comforted her, saying, "Don't cry, dear. The ambulance will be here soon."However, Lucy couldn't hear a word they said. She was utterly rattled at the moment. Then, she slowly regained her senses when she heard the ambulance drawing closer. She practically screamed, "Please save h
After the doctor's diagnosis, Tobias had yet to wake up. Lucy went to settle the hospital admission procedures. Tobias was unconscious on the bed, and Lucy stayed with him to care for him.She wiped his body with warm water and changed him into a hospital gown. She was anxious when she noticed he was still unconscious and went to ask the doctor about his condition. After the doctor said there was nothing to worry about, she finally relaxed and slept beside Tobias.Lucy didn't manage to sleep the whole night. She stayed by Tobias' side and checked on him occasionally. Then, she decided she would take extra good care of him. She couldn't believe she'd been oblivious to the fact that he'd been suffering from headaches and dizziness thanks to a contusion for a while.Faith texted her, asking, "Lucy, are you done with your thesis? There is only half an hour left before the deadline."Then, Lucy only recalled that she'd promised Faith that she would submit her thesis before the start
In modern society, any trending news could be positive or negative in nature. Tobias frowned at Finn's explanation and said, "What blasphemous or morally questionable thing did she write that it was blown up so much? If this is the case, revoke her rights to participate and ensure there is never going to be a place for her in the medical field."Lucy instinctively quirked her eyebrow.He may not have put the call on speaker, but the car was so quiet that Lucy had been able to hear the conversation. She was surprised that her thesis was trending. As she wondered what was so great about it, she heard Tobias' questioning tone.She snorted lightly, glared at Tobias, and pouted as she stared outside the window.Tobias was confused and wondered why she was angry.Finn said, "Mr. Ripley, she didn't write anything questionable. She wrote a thesis on medications to treat late-stage cancer, which became a trending topic because of its popularity. Now, the people are split into two camps
Tobias turned around and saw Lucy on the phone. He asked softly, "Who are you talking to, babe?"Lucy pointed at her phone and responded softly, "I'm on the phone with Mr. Jones. You should head back first."Tobias nodded. "Go over to the garden and sit there. You'll tire yourself if you keep standing."Lucy smiled slightly and did what he'd said. Tobias turned around and went back to the room to get changed."Lucy!" Benedict sounded particularly excited over the phone. "Are you willing to take over my position as the leader of the sect?"Lucy nodded solemnly and said, "I am, Mr. Jones!"Benedict responded in a slightly shaky voice, "This is fantastic. I can die with no regrets if you take over the sect!"Lucy asked, "Why do you have to bring up death out of nowhere, Mr. Jones?"Benedict asked, "When are you coming back? We have to hold the succession ceremony."Lucy thought about it for a brief moment and said, "I'm coming today. There's something important I have to discuss
Anna asked, "What are you going to do about this, Joaquin?"Joaquin responded mysteriously, "I'm going to make Ripley Group's properties mine one way or the other. It doesn't matter if he's a Ripley or not. He can't escape his fate of becoming a down-and-out."Anna exchanged a grin with Joaquin. Her eyes were laced with greed and dark desire.…Tobias' private plane touched down at the small town at 11:00 am. The place was some ways away from the mountain. He and Lucy took a stroll on the streets. Tobias used to live in the big city, so he was amazed by everything he saw there. He walked side by side with Lucy while he held her hand. He said, "I didn't think the people here would be this friendly and welcoming."Lucy responded, "Yeah. Folks in towns are very welcoming, unlike the people in the big cities, who are unfeeling and mean."Tobias asked, "Is your matter urgent?"Lucy shook her head. "Not at all."Tobias asked again, "If that's the case, why don't we walk around fi
