Thus, this job meant the world to Daniel. It was his mission, his pride, his duty—everything.

Sienna loved Daniel and held his work and life in high regard.

Daniel grabbed her arm and pulled her close. "Am I not good enough compared to your classmate who's weak and divorced?"

Sienna stumbled, finding herself in his embrace. Uncertainty and anxiety filled her gaze as she looked up at him. The pain in her arm brought tears to her eyes.

Her chin trembled as she struggled to hold her tears back. She felt utterly lost as she stared at him.

Daniel's eyes filled with tears when he saw Sienna's eyes welling up. His voice, full of sadness, shook a little as he spoke, "Sienna, I wish I could go back to when I was blind and crippled.

"Even if you were only looking after me for money, I felt genuinely happy and at peace back then."

Tears trickled down Sienna's face as she thought back to those days. She didn't want to go back to the past.

Daniel's suffering was too hard to bear. She hoped

    Daniel pressed Sienna down beneath him. Her struggles only made things harder for him. Gradually, he pulled away from her lips and planted kisses along her fair neck.She gasped for air and whimpered softly. Terrified and shaking, she closed her eyes and pleaded tearfully, "Daniel, please stop.""Sienna, I love you," Daniel whispered as he kissed her ear. His voice was as deep and alluring as aged wine.Sienna felt as if electric currents surged through her entire body wherever his lips and hands had touched. It left her feeling numb and weak.She was trembling with fear, yet deep down, she couldn't deny a sense of longing. Eventually, she stopped struggling and leaned her body toward him.Before falling in love, Sienna had firmly believed in waiting until marriage for sex. However, overwhelmed by her deep love for him, her physical desires overtook her sense of reason.Sienna eased her tense body. She bit her lip to stifle any moans of pleasure caused by the strange feelings swe

    "I…" Shelly stammered. She swallowed nervously and continued, "I-I'm doing this because I care about you."Sienna wiped away her tears, her voice trembling with emotion as she said, "There are countless people in this world. Every day, lives are lost to illness, accidents, or even violence. Who can we truly protect from such fates?"If I marry a driver, can you promise he won't be involved in a tragic accident? If I marry a small business owner, can you guarantee he won't fall victim to alcoholism?"If I marry a farmer, can you promise he won't succumb to poverty or illness? Just look at the heartbreaking stories of entire families being devastated that we see in the news."Behind these incidents are ordinary people. These unforeseeable tragedies aren't exclusive to anti-drug officers. I beg you. Please don't transfer your misfortune onto me."As Sienna finished speaking, she collapsed onto the couch and sobbed uncontrollably.Shelly felt panicked and was unsure of what to do. Sh

    Sienna couldn't wait to find Daniel after getting Shelly's approval. But reflecting on her harsh words from last night, she wondered how he was coping. Was he even willing to see her?She held onto her phone, her eyes fixed on the last message she sent to Daniel. There was no response from him yet.The day before, Sienna stated that she didn't have feelings for him and that she didn't love him. Would texting him now to express her desire to be with him seem insincere?Would Daniel think she had disregarded his emotions and taken him for granted?Sienna clutched her phone, a whirlwind of thoughts tormenting her. Neither calling nor texting seemed adequate to express her true feelings.As the evening approached, Sienna rode her electric scooter toward the police station. She figured this was around the time Daniel would be finishing work.The sunset cast a warm glow around her. She savored the beauty of the scenery along the roadside. A deep sense of contentment washed over her.H

    Sienna silently scolded herself for not valuing what she once had and held herself responsible. With a heavy heart, she turned her electric scooter back home.In the days that followed, Sienna couldn't muster the courage to see Daniel. Instead, she constantly checked her phone, hoping for his message.She longed for a reason and the bravery to reach out to him, but each day passed without progress.On the day Felix left the hospital, Shelly prepared various dishes at home. She had asked Sienna to invite Daniel over, but Sienna was unsure of how to broach the subject with him.In the hospital ward, Felix folded clothes and stole occasional glances at Sienna, who sat quietly on a stool. "You're here to pick me up, yet you're not lending a hand. Why are you just lost in your phone?"Putting her phone down, Sienna glared at Felix and replied, "You're perfectly capable of moving, aren't you? Why make a fuss over folding clothes?"Felix shook his head in exasperation. "You're really th

    Holding her phone and bag, Sienna rose from her seat. Her voice grew softer. "Okay, I'm heading out."She lowered her head and walked past Daniel as she left.Daniel watched Sienna leave the ward, feeling increasingly downcast. He thought she didn't want anything to do with him anymore.The last time he tried to assert his authority over her, it had frightened her. That had been a big mistake. Since then, he had been overwhelmed by feelings of regret and guilt.After a while, Felix approached Daniel while carrying his luggage. "Dan, let's go."Daniel shook himself from his reverie and took Felix's bags. "I'll take those."Felix was delighted, his eyes shining with admiration. "Thanks."As Daniel started the car and drove out of the hospital, he spotted Sienna in his rearview mirror, riding her electric scooter. He slowed down, his attention momentarily fixated on her.Felix picked up on his distraction. "You don't have to wait for Sienna. She takes this route daily and knows it

    Sienna made her way to Felix's room with the bags in her hands.Daniel swapped his shoes for indoor slippers before stepping inside. He took in the surroundings of her home. Despite being slightly cramped and showing signs of wear, it was impeccably clean and tidy.The kitchen opened directly onto the dining area, adjacent to the living room. The modest couch in the living room could accommodate only three people comfortably.An old-fashioned TV and a small refrigerator tucked into the corner added to the crowded feel of the layout."Daniel's here?" Shelly appeared from the kitchen with dishes in hand, her face lit up with a warm smile. She invited him inside enthusiastically, "Come, take a seat. I'll wrap up the last two dishes, and we'll be ready to eat."Her cheerful greeting left Daniel pleasantly surprised. He asked politely, "Mrs. Lawson, is there anything I can help you with?""Don't worry about it. Just grab a seat, have some coffee, and catch up with Sienna. These kitc

    The square dining table was arrayed with six main dishes, soup, appetizers, and fruit. The main dishes featured shrimp, crab, fish, chicken, beef, and salad, served alongside a butternut squash soup.Daniel noticed that while the variety of food wasn't overly expensive, it still exceeded what most families would typically have for an everyday meal.Such a spread seemed reserved for special occasions like Christmas or other important holidays.Daniel glanced at Felix, who seemed downcast. It dawned on him that these delicacies weren't specifically prepared for Felix after all."Mom, the doctor said I should stick to light, non-greasy food until my wound heals completely. Heavy meals aren't good for me right now," Felix said with a forced smile.Shelly served some salad onto Felix's plate. "You can have the salad. It's light."Felix couldn't tear his eyes away from the big crab before him, and his mouth started watering. Seafood was a rare treat in their home. Yet, Shelly was servi

    Daniel easily grasped what Shelly meant and could relate to her feelings.Shelly cared deeply for her children, but Sienna would eventually marry and move on with her own life, so Shelly naturally favored Felix more.In the lower social circles, many pretended to be morally superior. Thus, Daniel appreciated Shelly's straightforwardness. She never held back her thoughts and always expressed them openly.Daniel calmly remarked, "Mrs. Lawson, if Felix plans to enter civil service, he'll need to pass the civil service examination before being eligible for a job assignment."Shelly smiled awkwardly. "The civil service exam is pretty tough."Daniel reassured her, "If he's not keen on the civil service exam, he can move to Phoenicia. My family can organize a suitable position for him within the company."Shelly's face brightened with a smile as she eagerly served Daniel some food. "Thank you, Daniel. I truly appreciate it.""Thanks, Dan," Felix chimed in happily.Sienna's face grew s

    Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

    After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
