Martin firmly held her chin and forced her to look up, his voice cold. "The things you've done cannot be repaid even if you die ten times. But considering that you saved my life when we were kids, I won't hold it against you. From now on, we're even, no debts between us."Debbie tightly grasped his hand, shaking her head excitedly. "No, Martin, I don't want us to be even. I truly love you and I'll die without you. Please, don't break off our engagement. I promise you; I'll change, start anew, and never do anything bad again."Martin's handsome eyebrows furrowed, showing no mercy. "Your bad deeds are already ingrained in you!"Debbie adamantly denied, "No, I'm not inherently a bad person. If I was, then"Why did I save you back then? It was because I loved you too much, afraid of losing you. That's why I was jealous and did so many things that you hated." Martin's eyes were filled with endless coldness. "Whether it's fate or coincidence, it has nothing to do with me. You should be grat
Upon hearing that they were going to Maple Leaf Restaurant, Patricia immediately refused without hesitation, "No, I'm not going! With my face like this, how can I go? Do you want everyone to know that I was beaten?"Martin smiled helplessly.Seeing him not saying a word, Patricia added, "You go if you want, but Randy and I won't go."Martin thought she had a point.Although the swelling on Patricia's face had subsided a lot, you could still see the clear imprint of five fingers, as well as the bite marks on her neck and collarbone, which could lead to misunderstandings.After a brief moment of thought, he decisively took out his phone and sent a message to Ryann and Carter."Patricia is sick, and I need to take care of her, so Randy and I won't go. You guys have fun!"Just when the agreement was made, Ryann didn't expect Martin to change his mind again."Patricia is sick, what happened to her? Randy and I will go visit her! We've been wanting to visit her since she returned to Ivara C
His excitement was interrupted, and a coldness spread across Martin's face. "What are you doing?"Patricia adjusted her clothes, buttoned them up, and glared at Martin with anger, tears swirling in her eyes. "Martin, you're truly shameless. Do you find joy in repeatedly humiliating me, making me feel embarrassed? Is that what satisfies you?"Martin's mind was clouded, and the alcohol prevented him from thinking clearly.He didn't understand. Everything was fine just a moment ago, so why did she suddenly change like this?"What are you talking about?"Patricia grabbed his collar and presented the lipstick mark to his face. "See for yourself! One moment, you're flirting with other women, and now you're showering me with sweet words. Martin, I must have lost my mind to forget the pain you once caused me and be fooled by you! Let me tell you, from now on, you're not allowed to touch me again, or I'll ruin you."After speaking, she turned around to leave the hospital room.Martin grabbed h
Startled by Martin's sudden appearance, Patricia, while relieved, couldn't help but feel angry, and her anger surged. "Martin, what are you doing?"Martin's face turned pale and he stared at her, flames burning in his eyes. "Shouldn't I be asking you that question?"For a moment, Patricia was bewildered. "What do you mean?"Martin unintentionally increased the strength in his grip. "Do you understand the difference between men and women?"Suddenly, Patricia understood his meaning and sneered, "It's the 21st century now. Do you still think it's so conservative?"Martin's expression grew even more unpleasant. "Lack of self-respect."This immediately angered Patricia. "What does that mean?""Not self-respecting? Just because of a collarbone? Besides..." She paused, her tone unknowingly becoming sharp. "Besides, what relationship do we have? What right do you have to control me? Even if I am not self-respecting, so what? I am single now, and if I want to be with several men, it's my choic
The Watson family.Debbie looked over the investigation materials, her face turning green with every line she read."It's not Randy, that little bastard. It's another little bastard Patricia gave birth to." Debbie cursed loudly.Manda took the materials from her hand and looked over the document.Inside were several photos.The photos showed Randy being called away by Fannie and Jade and another little boy who looked exactly like him taking off his clothes and hat in the flowerbed, pretending to visit Patricia.This caused Manda to question what was really going on, were these photos even authentic?The photo material was taken from surveillance videos. Although the image quality was not as good as a professional camera, it was clear enough to see their faces.Although Manda knew that Patricia had given birth to a pair of twins, this...This was the first time she had seen them up close, confirming what she had heard. But still she felt so surprised by it that her eyes widened."That
Patricia didn't know what Martin and Madam Thomas talked about, but soon after, she received the news that Debbie had been reinstated.The discussion among the group of cardiology doctors was lively indeed with each having a different opinion on the matter.A coldness spread in Patricia's chest.She never expected that Martin would actually compromise on this matter. Then what about the grievances she had endured? What about the harm Randy suffered? Her mind was flooded with these thoughts.Indeed, there was no principle for Martin when it came to Debbie, no line Debbie couldn’t cross.Fuming silently, Patricia began to prepare a new preoperative checklist for Randy, planning to perform another surgery in three days.At that moment, Debbie swaggered into the office.When Patricia saw her come in, all she did was give Debbie an expressionless glance, not even bothering to greet her.Gladys, who had known about Debbie's reinstatement, had been waiting in the office and greeted her excit
After returning home, Patricia rolled up her sleeves and started cooking in the kitchen.Fannie was watching cartoons, while Charles sat in front of the computer, habitually accessing the Ivara City Hospital website and forum.Since mommy started working at Ivara City Hospital, the first thing he did after coming home from school most days was to check the hospital's website and forum for the latest updates.Today was no exception. As soon as he opened the forum, he saw a hot post with over eight thousand replies.The title of the post read: ‘Personally Appointed by Mr. Langley, Professor Brown Makes a Strong Comeback.’Charles frowned at the intriguing title and clicked onto the post to open it. The first comment that popped up was about Debbie returning to work.“This afternoon at three o'clock, Mr. Langley personally issued the order to restore Debbie to her previous position. The Thomas family's Bobby is now under her full responsibility.” One of the posts read.The comments belo
Debbie looked at Greta, who stood there unsure, in disbelief. She forced a smile and asked, "Greta, how did you come here?"Greta stepped out of the shadows, staring at Debbie with a gloomy expression, her body trembling with anger.As best friends for more than a decade, just one expression was enough for Debbie to know that Greta must have heard the entire conversation between her and Patricia earlier."Greta, you misunderstood. Patricia..." Debbie's words were cut short as Greta rushed over, gripping her arms tightly and angrily asking. "Debbie, is what she said true?"Debbie's arms were hurting from Greta's grip, and her face twisted in pain."Greta, after our friendship of over ten years, do you really believe her and not me?" Debbie defended.Greta's emotions remained stirred up as she spoke."I heard Patricia say with my own ears that my brother's condition is not suitable for surgery and should be treated conservatively. Surgery would be very dangerous in his situation."Debb
