Ricky got a text from Tony the next day. He figured that Sean knew what he was trying to do. 'How sharp of him.'No one knew a son better than his own father, and Ricky was no exception. Sean was not a simple person to deal with.Ricky frowned slightly. He had no choice but to do it after Alice told him so. Besides, he did not want the Anderson family's rules to be broken either.He knew that he had to pick a side and give the other up. Ricky pretended to be ignorant as he went to Sean's office personally. He pushed the door opened and went inside.He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"Sean put down the contract in his hands as he looked right into his father at the door before saying, "You should know better about what you were trying to do. Please knock it off."They were just standing on the same side together, but they were fighting among themselves now.That was just how most wealthy families were. They would always put interests first.Ricky walked to his desk and looked at
Alice was not affected by his words. She smiled and said in an unbothered tone, "It's nothing. This is Sharon Newman. She's the new doctor that I got you. She graduated abroad from Fernhurst Medical School. She's also the daughter of one of our clients. I asked her to come over and see if she could be of any help to your condition. The two of us have spoken to Ms. May about this prior to your return."Alice turned to Molly before looking at her son. She seemed as though she was thinking about how the two of them did not suit each other. Then, she smiled.Molly was silent.The truth was, Alice rang her doorbell and said that she wanted to have a chat with her, so Molly did not refuse and followed her over.However, Alice had other intentions. When Molly saw an unfamiliar woman at Sean's house, she realized why Alice went to find her."I heard that Dr. May has amazing skills that can improve my son's condition. However, I thought it would be difficult for you to treat him all by y
"My treatment methods are unique, and they aren't normal needle techniques because normal needle techniques don't work on Mr. Anderson's legs. Otherwise, why would Mr. Anderson seek me?"'I wasn't the one who shamelessly approached Sean,' Molly thought.Even though it seemed as if Molly's words were meant for Sharon, they were actually meant for Alice.Molly understood the situation. Alice's actions today were directed entirely at her.'Is it because I've gotten too close to Sean?' she wondered.Molly frowned in annoyance.She felt disgusted with Alice's actions. This was not Alice's first time picking on her.'Does every woman fancy Sean? Does every woman get close to him to marry into their so-called wealthy family? Hah! I—Molly May—do not care for this so-called wealthy family. It's no big deal. I'll leave then,' she thought to herself.Molly promptly stood up and said to Alice, "If you think that it's inappropriate, and if Mr. Anderson's fine with it, please feel free to do
Molly looked at Sean cool in a cool way.'This gentle-sounding Sean is not the same Sean who chased someone away icily just now. Does his mood change this quickly and easily?' she wondered."No. What's the point?"Molly was still annoyed. However, she wanted to save her pride in front of Sean.She was not going to admit that she got mad from Alice's actions and Sharon's taunts."You are." Sean gazed at Molly deeply as if he were reading her inner thoughts. Molly pursed her lips. She did not want to speak to him anymore. Then, she turned her gaze out of the window.It was Sean's first time seeing Molly look so sulky. He could not help but chuckle.He moved his hand up her wrist and grabbed her hand. Molly's hand seemed exceptionally small in comparison to his large hand.He squeezed the palm of her hand and gently said, "Don't be mad. I've chased her away."His tone sounded as though he was coaxing her.The tip of Molly's ears turned crimson. Even though the unfamiliar touch
Alice quickly chased after Sharon after she had been chased out by her useless son.Sharon only slowed down after she left Terahis Grove. When Alice saw Sharon, she quickly went up to stop her."Sharon, why did you leave so quickly? Sean's like that, don't take it to heart."Since Alice purposefully invited Sharon over, she could not let her get chased away by Sean.Now that Alice had managed to stop Sharon, she started persuading her to stay.Sharon had a wronged expression after she heard Alice's words. "Mrs. Anderson, I agreed to provide Mr. Anderson treatment simply because of our family's relationship. But as you can see, Mr. Anderson doesn't require my assistance. And Dr. May, she isn't happy about me taking over her patient..."Sharon almost wanted to say that Molly was not happy about her stealing Sean away.However, Alice knew what her son was thinking. After all, she saw how her son defended Molly with her own eyes. Alice was unhappy about it too.The truth was th
Sharon snapped out of her thoughts and took a deep breath. Now that she had calmed down, she realized that she had acted too impulsively just now.'I should've fought for it,' she thought.Sharon smiled once more and looked at Alice.'However, since Mrs. Anderson agreed to help me, it should be fine,' she thought again."Mrs. Anderson, it's almost lunchtime. Why don't we go grab a meal together? We can talk about this over lunch."Alice nodded with a smile. "Sure."Seeing how Sharon was no longer thinking about her son's rudeness, Alice was more than happy. She was not going to bicker with Sharon.Moreover, Alice was rather fond of Sharon at the moment. Since she still wanted Sharon to be together with her son, she agreed to her request."Mrs. Anderson, is there anything in particular that you feel like having? If there isn't, I know this one restaurant that's pretty good."Sharon's eyes sparkled; she looked beautiful.Alice gazed at Sharon and grew even more fond of her. Mos
Alice gave Abigail numerous chances and helped her multiple times. Who was to blame if Abigail could not make Sean fall for her?On the other hand, Molly had been distracted and unfocused at work ever since she held hands with Sean.Molly now spent more time sitting in a daze. Sometimes on the sofa in the living room; other times in her upstairs bedroom.Molly felt an emptiness in her heart because she felt that she had ignored something. She needed to find it and refilled it.Only through this manner could Molly regain control of her situation and return to a normal life.Brycen's phone rang before Molly could figure it out. She shifted her gaze to the person sitting across from her on the couch.Brycen took out his cellphone and saw a small part of the caller ID. He unconsciously glanced at Molly and noticed that the other party was staring at him.Brycen gulped and picked up the phone. "Nathan, what's wrong?"He felt that he should limit his contact with the Mays because he
Silence replaced the expected accusation. Nathan felt sorry for Lara because of her haggard appearance.Nathan felt a stabbing pain in his chest and said, "Mom, you're still weak from the surgery. You should rest first. Other things can wait until you feel better."Lara silently nodded. She closed her eyes and leaned against the head of the bed. Tiredness washed over her like a wave. She was unsure if it was because of the surgery or something else.Molly had no idea what had happened in the hospital. Even if she did, she would not give a damn. She returned to her room, ignoring Brycen's curious gaze.The doorbell rang in the afternoon."What brings you here?" Molly asked as she was perplexed. Benjamin appeared at the door.'Isn't he working at the hospital today?' Molly paused before leading Benjamin in.Benjamin was holding two bags in his hand, which seemed heavy. He smiled softly. His face seemed to glow with warm light, his brows curved, and he looked very happy."For Mr.
