A day passed in the blink of an eye. After having dinner, Simon was back in the study working.He was attending a virtual video conference that was taking place internationally. While it was nighttime over here, it was daytime over there.Sharon silently cursed the other party in the video conference. 'They’re not even bothered about his health and are having a meeting at this hour?'However, if she were to forcibly interrupt him and stop him from attending the video conference, Simon would definitely be mad.It was already so late and Sharon wanted him to turn in for the day. She had no idea when the video conference would end.She thought for some time. Since she could not force him, then she should use a more gentle approach. Riley had told her before that a man could not resist women acting coquettishly.Sharon looked at the clothes she was wearing that day. She was wearing a knee-length skirt and a small collar top with her back exposed… 'It's a little sexy, right?'If thin
"Er… Well, since you're not going to continue with the meeting, then you’d better get some rest," Sharon said, wanting to get up immediately and be freed from his arms.At that moment, Simon's huge palms grabbed her waist. His handsome face inched closer to her. He said with a deep, dangerous, and hoarse voice, "Thinking of running away, huh?"His overwhelming aura suddenly enveloped her, making her heart pound hard.She blinked her eyes while looking at him innocently. She put on an act, asking, "What are you talking about? I just want to stop you from continuing with the conference and get some rest."Simon squinted his dark eagle-like eyes, and his long fingers pinched her delicate chin. "Are you that eager to get some rest? Is it because when I’m not around, you're unable to fall asleep? Then you should’ve told me sooner and I’d have accompanied you to sleep."His deep and hoarse voice obviously carried a hidden meaning."Mm, it's getting quite late. You should call it a day.
On that night, Sharon was unable to leave the room, and in the end, she spent the night in the Zachary household.The next day when she woke up, Simon had finished brushing his teeth. He came out of the bathroom and saw her with an awful expression."Still upset?" He looked at Sharon with a vague smile."I said I wanted to go back, yet you insisted…" She paused and then added, "I didn't head back home at all last night. I wonder how Sebastian is doing?""He's with Claude. Nothing's going to happen." Simon had it all arranged long ago.Looking at Simon's carefree appearance, she pouted and said, "You're too rough!""Huh?"…Simon was unsure whether or not Sharon was unhappy. After spending one night in the Zachary household, she no longer accompanied Simon for his rehabilitation and no longer kept him company every day like how she used to.She returned to her laboratory and started working earnestly.Simon thought she would return once she was no longer mad and kept waiting f
"Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital and do a check-up?" Riley noticed Sharon's expression had changed for the worse.Sharon snapped out of it and subconsciously shook her head. "No need for that. I can go by myself." Only then she realized that she had not had her period for over a month."You really don't need me to accompany you?" Riley could not stop worrying about Sharon.Sharon shook her head, looking determined. "You should stay at home and take a good rest." \Sharon was feeling perturbed and did not know how she was going to deal with it if the report revealed she was indeed pregnant.She did not linger and immediately headed to the hospital."Congratulations, you've been pregnant for five weeks." The doctor passed the report to her while speaking.Suddenly, Sharon felt as if a storm had hit on a sunny day. She felt dizzy and nearly could not stand still. She quickly supported herself with the table. "What… What did you just say?"The doctor offered her a h
When Sharon came back to her senses, she cried and muttered apologies to the child. The scenes had triggered Sharon, and she was a little restless. Unconsciously, she lifted her hand and stroked her stomach. Riley stretched out her hand and held hers. “Shar, you don’t have to do it if you’re scared. Look, even though Sebastian inherited the madness gene, isn’t he doing just fine?” She really did not want Sharon to suffer like this.A trace of hesitance flashed in Sharon’s eyes but she very quickly said, “No, I can’t gamble on something like this. This is a life we’re talking about. If I give birth to an unhealthy child, they’ll only resent me in the future.”Riley opened her mouth, but her initial words of advice were stuck in her throat. In the end, she could only swallow them back down as she was afraid to say them out. If she persuaded Sharon to deliver the child and they ended up being unhealthy, she would be at fault for giving careless advice. The two of them waited for a
Sharon and Simon both remained motionless for a while. The nurse could not help but urge, “Will you still be having the operation? If you’re not, I’ll let the next person in.”Sharon immediately responded, “I’m doing it.”Simon looked at the nurse coldly. “Who dares do it for her?”The nurse was at her wit’s end. Noting Simon’s cold expression and his aura that demonstrated he was not someone to be trifled with, she could only say, “Why don’t both of you go back and talk this out? You can come back once you’ve made your decision. Let’s not delay the people after you, alright?”Riley also advised Sharon in a quiet voice, “Why don’t you give it some more thought? This is a child’s life, after all.”Simon looked toward Sharon and said, “If you’re so worried, I’ll go with you to see a doctor. If in the end, he says that the child can’t be delivered, I’ll respect your decision. How about that?”In all honesty, Sharon was also sad about her decision to not have the child. She would not
“If you aren’t angry, then why are you ignoring me all of a sudden?” He could not understand what the woman was thinking. Seeing the man in front of her still pressing on and demanding her for an answer, she continued turning her gaze away.This man was also of a one-track mind. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, should he not stop pestering her for an answer?What did he want her to say? Did he want her to say that she was playing hard to get to see if he would get used to not having her around or if he would look for her instead?“I wanted to do my work. I accompanied you for so long. I can’t leave all my work behind, can I?” She knew that this excuse was so lame. Even she did not believe it, so how could he?“Didn’t you say that I’m more important than your job?” His question stopped her next words.“I…” She bit her lip. Suddenly, she thought of something. Raising her brows, she cast him a sidelong glance. “What’s the matter? Are you anxious because I haven't gone to see you
“Fern had an accident. I’d like to check up on her.” Sharon could not help but worry when she heard that Fern had fallen off a horse.“Do you want to starve my child?” Simon raised his brows lightly. She was the one who said she was hungry.Sharon coughed gently. “I’ll go see what’s going on first. I’ll eat later. I won’t starve the baby.”Simon knew there was no stopping her. Her focus had shifted to Fern’s injury.At the moment, only Eugene and Fern’s assistant were in front of the door to the emergency room.“Brother, what happened? Weren't there protective measures taken during the horse riding scene? How did she get thrown off the horse?” Sharon asked as she glanced at the light above the emergency room. She wanted to know more about the situation. Eugene sat on the bench, one hand pinching the space between his brows. He looked very worried.Perhaps Fern’s injury was so serious that he was not in the mood to speak at a moment.Layla answered in his stead, “We’re also uns
“I’ve completed all of his final requests. That’s it.” Yvonne cast a final glance at Quincy, who was gripped with shock. She then left the room. Quincy did not say anything to make her stay. She kept staring at the box of ashes. She stared at the box of ashes silently for an extremely long period of time. Terry asked her, “Miss, do you believe that these are Dayton Night’s ashes?” She turned around to look at Terry. To be honest, she did not really believe it. “Why don’t you first look at the assets that he transferred to you and see if they’re real?” Terry suggested. “Help me settle this.” She handed the thick pile of documents to him so that he could verify them. “I’ll go now.” Terry left the office at once. Quincy stared at the box of ashes and muttered softly, “Dayton Night, what are you trying to do this time?” She was shocked when Terry told her that Dayton had really transferred all of his assets and finances to her after verifying the documents. “Does
Quincy was still deep in thought when her secretary called her through the internal phone line. Her secretary told her that a woman named Yvonne Leif was here to see her. She frowned. Yvonne Leif? After thinking about it for a while, she finally recalled. Was Yvonne Leif not the woman by Dayton’s side? Why was she looking for her now? If she did not die, then Dayton Night... Quincy’s heart lurched. She asked her secretary to bring her in at once. After a while, her secretary brought Yvonne into the office. From the moment Yvonne appeared in her office, Quincy kept staring at her. She had a shadow. She was not a ghost or a spirit… Yvonne was perfectly fine from head to toe. She did not seem injured at all. Did she manage to avoid the bombing on the island? Yvonne was wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding onto a box. She carried her handbag on her wrist. After a while, she stood opposite Quincy’s office desk.She then took off her sunglasses and met Quincy’
Dayton had a dark expression on his face as he stared at the island with a bleak gaze. He pursed his lips. He had no intention of saying anything.He did not want to leave the island. Yvonne and his men were the ones who forcefully brought him away.“I’d rather stay on the island,” he said after a while.Yvonne looked at him in shock. After a few seconds, she burst out in mocking laughter. “You’d like her to bomb you to death, right? It’d be better than dying after going through all the torment of your illness, right?”After a momentary silence, he said, “I owe it to her.”Anyway, he would not be able to live for long. He should just fulfill Quincy’s wishes and let her end his life personally.He would not have any regrets if he died by her hand.Yvonne could not help but slap herself across the face. She then scolded herself out loud, “Why am I being such a busybody?! Why do I insist on saving you when you want to die so badly?! I’m such a fool!”She really regretted her decis
Quincy cast her cold gaze in that direction. After a while, she said, “Let’s go.” Terry did not know what she was looking at just now. He only noticed the unpleasant expression on her face. He followed her and asked, “Miss, where’s that bastard, Dayton Night? Shall I capture him personally?” He did not think that she would let Dayton go. Quincy did not stop walking. “It’s fine. I know how to deal with him.” There was a hint of brutality in her cold voice. Terry was slightly stunned. He seemed to have understood something. He stopped talking to her after that. The helicopter was waiting for them outside. Quincy and Terry got into the helicopter.Below them, the island was in a huge mess. Nobody could stop her from leaving now.“Miss, shall we go back now?” Terry asked.Quincy glanced at the situation below and looked at him. There was an exceptionally calm expression on her face. “You brought plenty of explosives over, right?”Terry nodded and said, “I brought some along
“Doctor Leif, come over and take a look at Young Master. He vomited blood again,” one of Dayton’s men told her as soon as they saw her. Yvonne walked in front of Dayton. She saw the blood that he had spat out on the floor. She was no longer fazed. “You guys should learn to get used to something like this. After all, it’ll happen frequently in the future.” Dayton’s men were stunned. What did that mean? Young Master would frequently vomit blood in the future? Dayton leaned against the sofa behind him and closed his eyes. He did not have the energy to speak anymore. Yvonne did not want to chastise him after seeing his current condition. She clearly knew that he had given up on himself a long time ago. He was simply waiting for his own death. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to carry out acupuncture treatment on him. Rumble, rumble, rumble... A loud sound rang out from outside. Dayton opened his eyes immediately. It sounded like an airplane had flown over? He immedia
Quincy was so angry that her face flushed red. If she was not being held down by his bodyguards, she would definitely strangle him to death right now!Yvonne, who was watching them by the side, could not bring herself to continue watching them anymore. She felt extremely awkward as an outsider. Therefore, she got up and said, “You guys should eat slowly.” She left the room after speaking.She truly could not comprehend someone like Dayton Night. Why was he being so persistent with Quincy Lane? To make it sound better, he was a persistent man. However, he must be a nightmare to Quincy. She could tell how much Quincy hated him. Otherwise, she would not have taken Lennon hostage. She wanted to leave this island. Perhaps love was not only about giving. Some types of love were defined by shackles and imprisonment as well. Not only was Dayton trapping Quincy, but he was also doing so to himself. However, perhaps this was his final wish in life. That was the reason why he was
Yvonne stared at him. She was suddenly at a loss for words. Quincy was pushed back into her room. The door of her room was then shut tight. She heard the sound of a lock clicking into place outside. Damn it, Dayton Night. He got his men to lock her up. She had completely lost her freedom. Quincy had no more ideas. She could only fast. She would rather die than be imprisoned by him. She started fasting. Dayton’s men reported this situation to him immediately. He wanted to head over to take a look at her, but he really did not have any energy right now. “Bring her over.” He had no choice but to ask them to bring Quincy to his room. Before Quincy arrived, he asked Yvonne to help him to the sofa so that he could sit down. He could not let Quincy see him lying on the bed so sickly. Yvonne could not help but ask, “Why do you have to do this? You’re trying so hard to put up a facade in front of her. Can’t you just tell her about your illness right away?” “I don’t need
Quincy could not help but feel shocked after seeing Dayton’s appearance. He looked at her with a gaze that made it seem like he was about to eat her alive! “You’re on the island?” she asked him. Why did his men trick her? “Are you trying to take my men hostage to escape since you thought that I wasn’t here?” Dayton was filled with rage. “Dayton Night, what gives you the right to trap me here?” She should be the one angry at him instead. Just then, Yvonne chased after him. “You should go back.” She reminded Dayton after walking to his side. However, Dayton’s mind was only filled with thoughts about Quincy. It was as if he had not heard what Yvonne said. A mocking glint rose in Quincy’s gaze when she saw that Yvonne was on the island as well. It was no wonder his men were unwilling to tell her that he was already on the island. He had brought another woman over. It was impossible for her not to recognize this woman. She was the woman he had fooled around with at hi
Just then, Lennon detected the mocking tone in her voice. She was not at all concerned about whether they were tired or not.He lowered his head and peeled the apple intently. He did not intend to continue speaking to her anymore. “Let me peel it on my own. Your hands aren’t clean.” Quincy naturally reached out for the knife. Lennon did not think much about it. He just felt slightly terrified. He handed her the knife and apple at once. Nevertheless, Quincy simply took the fruit knife away. She did not take the apple from him. While he was wondering if she thought his hands were dirty, she took hold of the fruit knife and approached him. She immediately placed the knife against his neck. “Young Madam, you…” Lennon finally realized what was going on. This was her true purpose. Quincy stared at him coldly and shouted coldly, “Walk!” Lennon had no choice but to comply with her and walk outside. The men standing by the door were shocked when they saw her holding a kni
