  Gloria walked home and was thinking about something.

  While passing a corner, she was suddenly pulled into an alley by someone.

  With no street lights in the alley, it was dark. A few seconds later, Gloria saw several rogues. They surrounded her with baseball bats in their hands.

  She became alert and leaned against the wall. "What do you want?"

  The rogues looked at each other, laughing and ignoring Gloria's question.

  "Do you know me?" Gloria asked calmly and ignored their ridicule.

  "You are the eldest daughter of the Carter Group and a rich lady. We certainly know you," one of the rogues said.

  "Whoever paid you to come here, I will pay double." Gloria tried to come up with a solution in her mind.

  "Miss Carter, you are half crippled. Do you think you can run away? The person who paid us did not intend to kill you. He just asked us to cripple one of your hands." The head of the rogues laughed.

  Gloria's mind was a mess.

      "I want to see her." Gloria made a decision and said in a low voice. It was not a plea, but an order.  Dexter was tactful and knew that Gloria would not give in.  He nodded. "I'll take you there."  Dexter was clear that Gloria wanted to see Lillian immediately.  Since she asked him out at midnight with a single phone call, it meant that she had made up her mind to handle this mess.  Also, Dexter knew clearly that Gloria would no longer trust him as before.  He did not bother to say more, but led Gloria to a small apartment that he owned.  When the doorbell rang, Lillian opened the door and said in a sleepy voice, "You're back. Was the thing so urgent? Was your boss so bored?"  "She is not bored, and she is here to see you."  A cold voice made Lillian sober in an instant.  "Why are you here?" Lillian blurted out in surprise.  Lillian did not change much and was even more attractive than before.  Gloria enjoyed

      Gloria looked at Lillian meaningfully.   "You threaten me with the Carter Group?"   "Gloria, sue me. By then, the whole world will know that the Carter Group is an empty shell. You will lose everything. Then, can you still question me with such an attitude?" Lillian hated Gloria so much.   She thought with hatred, 'Gloria had once been so humble, yet she lived a better life than me after three years!   She is so low and cheap. How can she surpass me?'   "You are actually good at nothing! You inherited your father's property. Everything you own belonged to your family, and you robbed it from them. Gloria, you are not only lowly but also vicious. You don't even let go of your family!" The more Lillian spoke, the more emotional she became.   Dexter's hand was trembling, and he slapped Lillian. "What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Carter has said that she wouldn't pursue the matter. Why are you still making a scene?"   Lillian suddenly went mad

      At midnight, the temperature dropped abruptly.  Gloria woke up when she heard the noise. She listened carefully and found that it was the sound of Patrick rubbing his clothes.  She sat up quietly and looked under the bed.  She found it strange. Sleeping on the sofa in the living room was much better than sleeping on the floor in her bedroom.  If it were Gloria, she would rather choose to sleep on the sofa.  Patrick was trembling all over. He wrapped his hands around his body and curled into a ball.  "Are you awake?" In the darkness, Gloria asked slowly in a calm voice.  The bedroom was silent. No one responded to her.  "Stop pretending to sleep," Gloria said lightly.  After a while, Patrick finally turned over. He opened his eyes in embarrassment and looked at Gloria.  "Gloria," He called out in a low voice to show that he was awake.  On the bed, Gloria moved. She said, "My feet are cold."  Patrick immediately

      "Patrick!" Gloria pushed Patrick away, and the quilt fell to the ground.  She glared at Patrick's lower body under the pajamas and shouted, "What are you doing?"  "Gloria, I couldn't bear it," Patrick said with a flushed face.  Looking at his innocent face, Gloria was even more furious.  With a cold face, she got out of bed without saying a word. She ignored Patrick and went to the bathroom.  She scolded herself inwardly as she walked, 'I was such an idiot. How could I allow Patrick to sleep on the bed?'  When Gloria thought of what had just happened, she kept wiping her hand against her pajamas, until her skin was rubbed red.  After washing up, she returned to the room.  But Patrick was still there. "Why are you still here?"  Patrick stared at her with his innocent eyes. He leaned against the wall at a loss and panted slightly. "I feel hot, Gloria. I couldn't bear it."  Gloria clenched her fists. She knew why he was feel

      In a room near the luxurious banquet hall stood a man and a woman.  "Relax," Lucas, in a light-colored suit, approached Gloria's ear and whispered.  Gloria took a small step back, yet no matter how imperceptible her movement was, Lucas still noticed keenly.  He took a few steps back gentlemanly and said with a chuckle, "Gloria, just relax."  She clenched her fists, feeling the sticky sweat in her palms. Of course, she would be nervous. The person she was about to meet was very important to the Carter Group.  "Actually, there's no need to hurry. He comes here every year for a holiday, and usually, he will be staying for a month or so." Lucas' voice was elegant and deep like a cello. "So, Gloria, you really don't need to see him right after you get off the plane."  She shook her head. Even now, her heart was still a mess.  After what happened that time, she fled without telling anyone.  Only she knew what she was running away from.

      Gloria and Klein left, leaving only Heath and Lucas in the large reception room.  "Is it her? The reason why were you willing to owe me a favor and have me fly here? Is she that important?" Heath gracefully walked to the bar counter and poured himself a glass of whiskey.  "Another glass?" He raised the glass to Lucas and gestured.  "She is someone I desperately want to be with, someone I want to just keep for myself." He did not know how important Gloria was to Lucas.  "Mike wanted me to ask you if that person is OK," Lucas said, changing the topic.  "Mike? After all these years, he still hasn't moved on? I always thought that Mike was the only guy who wouldn't let go. But now that I see you, I know that you are screwed as well." Heath shook his head.  Lucas did not explain. He chuckled and said, "Both you and Mike are so full of yourself, aren't you?"  Heath gulped down the wine in his glass and suddenly said, "She is excellent."  "

      For the week after, Gloria locked herself in her room and worked on the project.  Lucas would come to her from time to time. Sometimes, he would ask her to eat with him. Sometimes, he would just lie on her sofa and wait for her for the whole morning.  He did not disturb her, and she had gotten used to his company as time passed by.  Mandy did not call Gloria anymore. Instead, she contacted Gloria through text messages. Every day, she would tell Gloria that Patrick was fine. He ate well and was in good health.  The Carter Group became partners with Heath. Such an outcome was both expected and unexpected.  The moment the two parties signed the contract, Gloria was silent, her eyes lit up all of a sudden as if the thing that she had been waiting for a long time had finally been completed.  It was also at this moment that she seemed to have no reason to continue staying here.  "Thank you, Lucas." She thought, 'He helps me a lot. Without Heath,

      Gloria struggled fiercely, trying to break free from his arms.  "I don't understand what you are saying. The only thing I know is that I am doing great," she said angrily.  "Doing great? Really? Gloria, stop lying to yourself! Are you really doing great? Gloria, are you sure of it?" Lucas blurted out, yet in the next second, he suddenly stopped.  He forced himself to calm down, closed his eyes, and opened them again. When his hand touched her long hair, he stopped. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not living in the past? Then why do you still keep your hair long? Because of Patrick? Is he really that unforgettable?"  Gloria's face turned ghastly pale in the blink of an eye.  "Let go!" She panicked.  She wanted to escape. In such a case, she wouldn't need to face it, so she wouldn't be in so much pain.  Thus, she escaped.  The moment she did so, a strong sense of unwillingness appeared in Lucas' eyes.  Lucas wouldn't le

    Clarissa, recalling Luana's plea not to blame Calvert, said nothing more and simply stepped around him to get some water, ignoring him completely.Calvert stood at the ward door, gazing at the frail and weak figure on the hospital bed, his vision gradually blurring with tears.He struggled to steady his trembling body, clenched his fists tightly, and with heavy steps, he walked slowly to the bedside.Blind Luana sensed someone approaching and thought Clarissa had returned, so she reached out to grab her clothes."Clarissa..."Before her hand could make contact, it was grasped by a broad and slender hand.The hand that held hers trembled slightly, as if it had a thousand words to say but couldn't utter a single one, so it just held on tightly.Luana realized it was a man's hand and thought of Cline's stern and handsome face, but she didn't think it could be him.She tentatively called out, "Albion..."Calvert hadn't expec

    Tears rolled down Clarissa's cheeks, dripping onto Luana's hand and making her body stiffen.Luana tried to raise her other hand to wipe Clarissa's tears, but after feeling around for a while without success, her wrist was grabbed by Clarissa instead."Luana, are you... blind now?"Clarissa held Luana's hand, her face full of shock as she stared intently into Luana's eyes.This time, Luana didn't hide it from Clarissa and nodded calmly, "Probably triggered some other conditions..."She had experienced blurred vision during her dizziness before, but she hadn't expected to wake up completely blind this time.Seeing her like this, Clarissa broke down and cried again.She threw herself onto the hospital bed, hugged Luana tightly, and wept her heart out.Luana no longer tried to console her not to cry. Instead, she reached out to hug her back, gently patting her back and whispering, "I'm okay..."If she couldn't see, then so

    After returning to the hospital, Clarissa encountered Albert at the triage desk on the first floor, where he was handling discharge procedures.Seeing her, he was somewhat surprised and asked why she had come. Clarissa pursed her lips and didn't respond.Albert, feeling uneasy under her penetrating gaze, which seemed to see through him, instinctively averted his eyes."Honey..." he called out tentatively, then asked guiltily, "The doctor said Angela's pregnancy is unstable, and it would be best for her to stay near the hospital until the baby is born. Since our place is close to the hospital, how about she stays with us for a while?""With a pregnancy so unstable, it's no wonder she's acting out," Clarissa thought, resisting the urge to retort.She had a flaw—having grown up without much love, she was easily swayed by affection.But she also had a strength—she could quickly dismiss anyone or anything that betrayed her.She

    Luana had long been aware of her physical condition, so she wasn't particularly concerned. She asked, "How much... longer do I have?"Eva, with her hands in the pockets of her white coat, looked down at Luana's pale face and said seriously, "About a week."If she hadn't sustained such severe injuries, with the help of special medications, she might have been able to hold on for another two months.But the nail piercing the back of her head had accelerated her heart failure. The fact that she could still last a week was nothing short of a medical miracle.Eva couldn't help but shudder as she recalled the scene of the nail piercing the back of Luana's head."Luana, who on earth nailed the back of your head?"Cline had only messaged her that Sidney, Runa, and he had attacked Luana, urging her to come and save her.He hadn't mentioned who had caused the injuries.Eva suspected it might have been a group attack, but she couldn't bel

    After shouting, Clarissa covered her face and cried almost hysterically.Luana, seeing her like this, couldn't help but feel her eyes well up with tears.She mustered all her strength to reach out and pull at Clarissa's clothes.But Clarissa, unable to accept the reality, kept backing away...She cried and ran out of the ward in a state of collapse.Watching Clarissa's retreating figure, the tears that Luana had been holding back began to fall drop by drop.Clarissa ran out of the VIP ward in one breath and unconsciously stopped in front of the door of an ordinary ward.She wanted to ask Albert for help. Although she wasn't sure what kind of help he could provide, she desperately needed someone to lean on at the moment.She walked to the ward door, crying, but instead of seeing the Albert siblings, she heard a series of embarrassing noises coming from the adjacent single room...Instinctively, she wanted to avoid them, b

    After speaking, Eva gave Clarissa a gentle smile, which temporarily relieved Clarissa of her worries and shifted her focus to Luana.Seeing Luana sweating from pain in her coma, Clarissa felt heartbroken and quickly took out a towel to wipe her sweat.After finishing, she turned to Eva and asked nervously, "Dr. Woodward, is Luana's heart okay?"Luana had congenital heart disease and had to be very careful in her daily life.Being beaten into a coma could have caused damage to her heart, just like how she had become weaker after being kicked before. Clarissa was very worried about this.Eva glanced at Clarissa, unsure of how to respond.As a doctor, she should tell the patient's family about such a life-or-death issue.But without the patient's consent, she didn't feel right making the decision.Moreover, seeing Clarissa's worried face, she was afraid that Clarissa wouldn't be able to handle it.After thinking for a while

    Eva saw that she couldn't hide the truth anymore, so she told Clarissa what had happened, but she didn't mention the heart failure, only saying that Luana was in a coma.Hearing that Luana was in a coma, Clarissa nearly lost her balance and fell.She steadied herself against the door frame and said in a trembling voice, "Dr. Woodward, please tell me the address of the hospital..."Eva gave Clarissa the address and tried to calm her down. "Don't worry, she's in my hospital and I'll keep an eye on her. You should prepare some clothes for her to change into. She'll probably need to be hospitalized for a while."Eva's calm voice gave Clarissa some strength.She steadied herself, thanked Eva, and hung up the phone. Then she stumbled into Luana's bedroom.She quickly packed a few pieces of clothing, grabbed some toiletries, and hurriedly drove to the hospital.Eva was in the middle of giving Luana a detailed examination when she saw Clariss

    Clarissa, Clarissa…Luana heard Clarissa's crying voice in a daze. The sound tugged at her heart, making it impossible for her to keep going.She stood in the mist, slowly turning her head, just in time to see Clarissa running toward her."Luana, don't leave. Come back. I still have so much to tell you…"Luana opened her mouth to respond to Clarissa, but no sound came out.Then, fresh oxygen flowed in, easing her suffocated heart.Gradually, the mist dissipated and Clarissa vanished. Luana fell into a deep coma."Dr. Woodward, her heart has started beating again!""Hurry, keep her on oxygen!"Eva saw the flickering data on the ECG monitor and felt her legs go weak.This was the first time she had been so anxious about a patient, fearing that she might die.Her hands were still trembling, too weak to even lift."Dr. Roffe , how's the situation with the back of her head?"Dr. Roffe

    Cline stared coldly at Sidney, his face full of dissatisfaction."Cline, you used to... protect Valda like this too," Sidney said, eyeing him suspiciously up and down.In this world, the only person who could make him lose control of his emotions was Valda.Back then, he had stood up for Valda just like this, even going to any lengths to defend her!Sidney's words hit a sore spot for Cline, making his expression even darker and more irritable."What do you want to get out of this?""I want her dead! Either that, or sell her to a club and make her life a living hell! Otherwise, I'll tell Auntie that you have a special relationship with her!"Upon hearing this, Cline slightly tilted his head and reluctantly slapped Luana.The moment the slap landed, Luana, who was unprepared, lost her balance and fell straight backward—This time, she wasn't so lucky. There was a nail where she fell, which pierced right into the back
