The results of Fannie's examination were available quickly.
There were no head injuries, just external wounds. She needed to stay in the hospital for three days for observation and could be discharged if there were no complications.After discharge, she would need to come to the hospital every three days to change the dressing.Fannie was transferred from the emergency observation ward to a VIP room in the general ward.Under her strong insistence, she was arranged to stay next to Randy.Patricia patted her head and said softly, "Rest well here, don't run around. I'll go take care of your hospital admission procedures."Fannie nodded obediently, "Okay! I will behave and not run around."Reassured by her promise, Patricia left feeling at ease.Fannie was alone in the ward, feeling bored, so she took out her phone and prepared to watch cartoons.Suddenly, with a loud bang, the ward door was smashed open and a brand new soccer ball rolled in, stoppiSuddenly feeling a fierce gaze, Fannie, who was sulking, raised her head. Unexpectedly, their eyes met. Both of them froze for a moment. In that instant, Debbie finally remembered where she had seen her. It was at the disruptive Martin's new product launch, where the little girl claimed to be Martin's daughter in front of all the media. Seeing her staring at her blankly, Fannie wrinkled her brow in disgust and said, "Why are you always staring at me? Are you planning something bad again?" Debbie walked into the ward and discreetly locked the door behind her. Fannie didn't notice anything unusual and pouted, angrily saying, "I knew it Spencer isn't a good person. He just left from here and immediately went to inform you. Hmph! Fortunately, I saw his true colors early on; otherwise, I would have been deceived by him." Debbie approached her step by step and asked sternly, "Your name is Fannie? What is your relationship with Patricia? And what is your
Patricia was still filled with anger, reaching out and fiercely grabbing Debbie's neck, pressing her onto the doctor's desk."Why did you treat Fannie like this? She's just a child. If you have something against me, come at me. Why hurt my daughter? Why?"The colleagues in the office were momentarily stunned, then they wanted to run over and stop the fight.But Patricia shouted at them, "Don't interfere, or I can't guarantee that I won't hurt you."At this moment, Patricia was like a mad beast, as if she could pounce on them at any moment and tear them apart. Everyone immediately froze, not daring to move."Cough...Cough..." The suffocation made Debbie start coughing in pain.Her dazed mind suddenly became clear. She frantically reached out and grabbed at anything around her, not knowing what she caught, and vigorously smashed it towards Patricia's head.Patricia had long been prepared and dodged to the side, loosening the hands that were gripping Debbie'
After leaving the office, Patricia was afraid that Fannie would worry, so she walked while tidying her clothes and hair. Once she made sure there was no trace of anything unusual, she returned to the ward. Seeing her come back, Fannie quickly asked with concern, "Mommy, what happened?"Are you okay? Did that wicked woman hurt you?" Patricia laughed and replied, "What kind of person do you think your Mommy is? How could she harm me! You have no idea how badly I beat her up! It's a shame I didn't have any extra hands, otherwise, I would have recorded it for you to enjoy." Fannie's eyes sparkled upon hearing this. "Really? Mommy is so amazing!" Patricia patted her head and gently persuaded her, "Since Mommy is so amazing, will you promise Mommy to stay in the hospital for three more days for observation? Mommy will stay with you every step of the way." Fannie hesitated, remembering how she almost got choked by Debbie, she was terrified. But she didn't want Mommy
Feeling his anger, Randy leaned over to look at the phone. Even though he was only in kindergarten, he already knew many words. At a glance, he recognized it as a bank transfer record and asked curiously, "Daddy, whose account is this? It doesn't seem to be from here."Martin didn't want him to get involved in adult matters. He patted his head and said, "You stay at home and wait for me. I have something to do and will be back soon. Call me if anything happens."Afraid that he would cause trouble for Patricia, Randy hurriedly said, "Daddy, you're not allowed to bully Mommy and Fannie, or I'll be angry."Hearing his words, Martin felt a pang in his chest."What? Is Fannie more important than Daddy?"Pouting, Randy replied, "You're equally important in my heart, so I don't want either of you to get hurt. But Daddy, you're already thirty years old, and Fannie is only three."The implication was that Fannie needed protection.And you can protect you
After leaving the Langley Group, Debbie headed directly to the Langley Mansion.Martha had gone out shopping, and Samuel had planned to go golfing with some old friends. He was holding his golf club, about to leave, when he bumped into Debbie at the doorstep.At first, Samuel didn't recognize Debbie and stared at her for quite a while before finally realizing who she was. "Is that you? Debbie? What brings you here?"If he remembered correctly, his son Martin had already broken off his engagement with her.Debbie forced herself to smile, despite the pain. "I've come to tell you some good news."Samuel had heard about her actions and had a feeling that her visit today wasn't for a good reason. He replied, "We're not acquainted, so if you have any news, tell Martin directly. I'm not interested in knowing."A glint of malice flashed in Debbie's eyes. "This matter concerns the Langley family. I believe you must be very curious to know! If I don't tell you, Martin
Upon seeing each other, the three of them were momentarily stunned.Samuel's gaze quickly swept over Martin and then fixed on Charles. His face was full of confusion, and for a moment, he was unable to discern whether this was the Charles that Randy and Debbie had mentioned.Charles calmly looked at Samuel.He knew that since Samuel appeared here, he must already know everything. His true identity could no longer be hidden. He knew that the Langley family would eventually find out. He just didn't expect this day to come so soon."I am Charles, Randy's twin brother."His nonchalant words carried the demeanor of a seasoned general, far from the voice of a four-year-old child.Samuel stared in astonishment, finding it hard to believe that what Debbie had said was true.He really had another grandson. And this grandson seemed more suitable to be the heir of the Langley family than Randy, be it in courage or intellect."You, you really are my grandson, and
Seeing her standing still, Samuel frowned unhappily. He walked around from behind her to the front, curled his lips, and asked with a smirk, "What's the matter? We haven't seen each other in five years. Don't you recognize me?" Patricia suddenly regained her senses and hurriedly said, "Mr. Langley... Why are you here?" Samuel's expression remained emotionless as he said, "Of course, you wouldn't want me to come. This way, you could hide Charles' existence forever." Hearing his words, Patricia's face changed dramatically. Observing her expression, Samuel felt even more convinced that she was deliberately concealing something and had ulterior motives. "Do you have time? Accompany me for a cup of coffee." Patricia felt reluctant in her heart and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but under Samuel's imposing gaze, she involuntarily nodded in agreement. Before she knew it, she found herself sitting across from Samuel in a cafe opposite the hospital. Patricia f
Seeing her cry, Patricia and Charles immediately panicked.Patricia walked over and embraced her, gently patting her back. "Darling, don't cry, your father misunderstood you..."Before she could finish her sentence, Fannie interrupted in an agitated tone."He's not my father; I don't have such a father, and I never want to acknowledge him. He not only hit me, but also bullies me. I hate him..."Oh no, the misunderstanding between the father and daughter is getting worse.What should we do now?Patricia sighed helplessly, feeling a slight headache.With anger, Charles stormed out of the ward and found Martin sitting on a bench in the corridor, looking angry. "Dad, you went too far. How could you say such things to Fannie?"Martin shrugged indifferently. "What did I say?"Charles felt a pain in his chest from anger, "She ended up in the hospital because of you. As an adult, shouldn't you make up for your mistakes?"Martin held his breath, feelin
Martin, lost in thought and gazing into the distance, didn't see Charlotte deliberately fall to the ground when her relatives reached out to her."Ah..."Her cry successfully snapped Martin back to reality.He immediately bent down to help her up. "Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?"Charlotte, tears welling up in her eyes, replied pitifully, "My wrist hurts so much, I think I've fallen on it again! I hope it's not dislocated?"Martin noticed the bandage on her wrist had come undone.The packet of medicine inside was nearly falling out. Anger started to well up inside him; this time, he was thoroughly enraged."Alan, take all of them to the police station, contact the lawyer, charge them with slander, intentional harm, extortion... I want them in jail."Feeling his boss's rage, Alan immediately carried out the order."Why are you suing us? We're the ones who have been wronged.""Just because you're wealthy doesn't put you above the law. Let me tell you, we won't back down without pr
Hunter looked at her with tenderness, patiently waiting for her to finish speaking.Seeing his gentle expression, Patricia found it difficult to voice the words at the tip of her tongue. Nervously she reached for the lemon water on the table and took a gulp.She drank too hastily, and the sourness made her teeth quiver, causing her face to scrunch up.Hunter was amused by her adorable expression and considerately poured a little packet of sugar into her lemon water."I remember you used to hate sour tastes! What changed? Are you not afraid anymore? Going straight for it?" he asked with a smile.With her cheeks flushed with embarrassment and faced with his caring gesture, found her words of refusal even harder to pronounce.Hunter stirred the water in her cup with a straw for a while, making sure the sugar dissolved, then handed it back to her: "Here, try now. It shouldn't be sour anymore."Patricia nodded and took a sip through the straw. The taste was a bittersweet delight.Although
Only when the phone’s ringtone broke the silence, the deadlock was finally broken.Martin glanced at the caller ID with a gloomy expression, sighed, turned the phone upside down on his thigh in resignation. He turned to Patricia, unbuckled his seatbelt, and moved closer, taking hold of her shoulders. With a serious and helpless look on his face, he said, "Patricia, I'm sorry, I admit I was too overbearing just now. But I'm being overprotective because I care about you so much, and I don't want to see you getting too close with Hunter."Care? It was the first time Patricia had heard this word from him.The anger in her chest dissipated almost instantly, and her tone softened unconsciously. "Hunter and I grew up together. When Debbie and her daughter bullied me, he was the one who protected and encouraged me time after time. He is very important to me. If a condition for remarrying you is to cut ties with him, then I can give you the answer now."Even without her saying it, Martin gues
Martin didn't give her a chance to escape, questioning every word, "So, is what Hunter said true? Are you really going to get engaged and marry him?"Patricia felt that the matters between her and Hunter couldn't be explained in just a few words, and moreover, everything was premature without having cleared things up with Hunter first.Seeing her still not responding, Martin grew impatient and urged, "Answer my question."Patricia pulled her hand back and said indifferently, "I won't marry him."That was her only answer. The rest, she wasn't ready to share with Martin yet.This answer caused a surge of joy in Martin's heart, his previously tense facial features gradually softened as he smiled like a child, unable to hide his delight."I knew you wouldn't like him." He said.Patricia rolled her eyes at him, "Now take me back to the restaurant."The smile on Martin's face vanished in an instant, and he refused without hesitation, "No, I won’t..."Before he could finish, his cell phone r
Upon hearing his question, Patricia burst into laughter, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "So what if it is? What difference does it make if it isn't?"She did not deny it.Martin took her non-denial as an admission, and his handsome face darkened like the bottom of a pot, his eyes filled with brooding shadows."I don't agree.""Haha..." Patricia laughed even harder, her snort of derision loud and unmasked. "And might I ask, who are you to me? By what right do you interfere? What does it matter to you whom I'm with? At best, you're nothing more than my ex-husband. Remember, ex-hus-band."She enunciated the words “ex-husband” deliberately, making sure he grasped their significance.Martin's normally composed brows furrowed, wrapping him in an aura of cold sternness.He was clearly displeased with these words. Then silence hung in the air, heavy and enigmatic.He spoke with grave seriousness, "Let's remarry!"As he spoke, a chilly wind blew past them, its whistling sound drowning out Mar
Hunter expected Martin to back down and leave in a sorry state.However, to his surprise, Martin’s expression was filled with pain as he stared at their clasped hands for a moment and then strode over to them.Confusion filled Patricia as she instinctively turned her head and locked eyes with Martin, whose gaze burned with fierce anger. Her mind felt like it was exploding as if something detonated."How did you get here?" Patricia asked, barely able to form the words.No sooner had the words left her lips than Martin had reached out, forcibly separating Patricia and Hunter's clasped hands. In Patricia's stunned state, he grabbed her wrist and started to pull her away."Martin, what are you doing?" Patricia's heart began to flutter with slight panic.Martin's face had been a ghastly sight just now, as if he was on the verge of a killing spree. She had no clue where his rage was coming from.Hunter quickly stood up and seized Patricia's other wrist, forcing Martin to stop. Martin turned
The doctor conducted a thorough examination of Charlotte. Her wrist wasn't fractured but had suffered from a dislocation and soft tissue damage."Mr. Langley, please hold her tightly. I'm about to reset the bones in her wrist, which may cause some discomfort. Keep her steady, and do not let her move.""Bone reset!" Just hearing it, Charlotte's eyes widened with fear, and her body trembled. Despite this, she bravely closed her eyes, extended her hand, and prepared herself for the pain. "Go ahead! I'm not afraid of the pain!"The doctor looked surprised and said, "It's going to be very painful. Are you sure you're not afraid?"His words instantly drained the color from her face, but she vigorously nodded, clenching her teeth, and refusing to voice her fear."I'm not afraid! Back when I was boarding at school, someone pushed me down the stairs, and I broke my leg but didn’t cry. I can handle this pain!" she explained."You were pushed down the stairs?" Martin's discerning eyes narrowed,
Patricia's heart skipped a beat. She knew she had been framed, again. And this woman's tactics were identical to Debbie's.Not only did she remind her of Debbie, but her methods and cunning were also the same. Indeed, Martin's taste had never changed. He always liked these hypocritical, nauseating women who could put on an act.The incident had happened too quickly; the onlookers only saw a scuffle but hadn't truly seen who had started it. They only saw someone fall and another with a hand outstretched as if pushing, so they naturally assumed Patricia was the aggressor."Professor Watson, what happened? Why did you push her?" one on looker asked."Yes, Professor Watson, is there some conflict between you two? If so, have a proper conversation about it. Getting physical in public won't do your reputation any favors." Another said."Yes! Professor Watson, perhaps you and her should talk in your office? It's not convenient in this corridor."After the incident with Debbie, everyone's vie
Martin had thought he would be calm when he saw Patricia again, as if nothing had ever happened.But in this moment, with Patricia standing right in front of him, his heart raced with intense emotions that he had suppressed for so long. It was in that moment that he realized the depth of his love for her, far greater than he had ever imagined.He couldn't bear to see her with Hunter, nor could he draw a clear line between them. "You..."Martin's lips parted as he tried to speak to her, to bridge the distance between them.Unfortunately, Patricia had made up her mind to keep her distance, and with her head bowed, she took a step back, yielding the path ahead.Martin clenched his fists tightly, struggling to contain the anger and turmoil within him. Unaware of the tension between Martin and Patricia, Charlotte flashed a sweet smile at Martin and said, “Martin, let’s go! I can’t wait to see Randy!”Patricia smirked derisively, her lips curling up."Well, isn’t that affectionate?"Marti
