Eugene was stumped for words, and his mind was blank. He licked his dry lips after a while and asked, "Will she still be able to stand and walk around normally in the future?"“She won’t have any problems recovering and going back to living normally, but she may not be able to stand for too long. Otherwise, she’d feel intense pain in her backbone. Hence, you have to keep an eye on her.”Fern was wheeled out by a nurse as the doctor said this. Eugene looked over and noticed that she still looked disoriented. Her brows were furrowed. Was she still in pain even when she was out of it?He felt his heart tug fiercely. If he had known earlier that something like this would happen, he would have not agreed to let her go to the shoot no matter how much she would have argued with him or hated him for it!Fern was sent to the intensive care unit. Only after tomorrow when she was completely past the critical stage could she be moved to the ordinary single ward.Sharon lost her appetite whe
Sharon could understand what Eugene was feeling right now. Nobody would be in a good mood if the person they loved was lying in the intensive care unit after getting seriously injured.She placed the lunchbox beside him and said, “I’m leaving the food here. No matter what happens, you must eat. Otherwise, who will take care of Fern after she wakes up?”Eugene kept his head lowered. He did not say anything.Sharon said again, “I don’t think you have the time to take care of Rue now. I’ll fetch her back to my place so that she can play with Sebastian for a few days. How does that sound?”Eugene was worried about his daughter being home alone. Although there was a nanny at home, he usually went home every day to accompany her.His heart was fully set on Fern right now. He did not have the time nor ability to take care of his daughter during this period. It would be a good idea for her to stay at Sharon’s place for a few days.“Then I’ll have to trouble you,” he said, his voice dry a
Sharon had not caught her breath. She did not understand what he was implying.“What am I admitting to?” she asked as she glared at him angrily. He kissed her without any forewarning. Had she allowed him to do so?“You’re not happy that I’m living in the Zachary household because you don’t want to live apart from me, right?”Sharon met his gaze for a few seconds and admitted to what he said. “Yes, I’m unhappy, but I still went over to keep you company every day. I wanted you to tell me that you were going to move back in, but you…” she blurted out. He did not seem to care about her at all! If she had not gone over to see him, he would not have bothered to look for her!“You must know how much it hurts without me by your side now, right? Don’t ever push me to someone else ever again, even if it’s for our children’s sake. Do you understand?” He wanted to be the person whom she cared about the most. Sharon looked at him without saying anything. After a while, she finally understo
Sharon had already expected Penelope to come over and cause a scene. After all, Simon had just moved back to the Zachary household not too long ago. How could Penelope be willing to let him go so easily? However, she did not say anything. This was between Simon and his sister. He should talk it out with his own sister. “Sister, you came over so early. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to sit down and have some breakfast together before we talk?” Simon said slowly. His attitude angered Penelope. “I’m asking you why you’ve left the Zachary household again!” she said angrily. “I didn’t leave the Zachary household. You’re exaggerating,” Simon said nonchalantly. Penelope frowned and asked, “Didn’t you say that you’re moving out?” “The Zachary household is my home. This is my home as well. To be precise, this is the home I live in with my wife and child. Shouldn’t I live with them? Do you want us to live separately?” he asked calmly. With how things had turned out thus f
“Sister, that’s enough. If you’re going to blame Shar for everything, please leave! This child doesn’t belong to her alone. The child belongs to me as well!” Simon could no longer stand how his sister was reprimanding Sharon. “That’s right. Aunt, aren’t you being too much of a busybody? You’re acting really despicable right now. You’d better leave. Don’t ruin my mommy’s good mood,” Sebastian said. He had lost his patience a long time ago as Penelope was making so much noise. Penelope glared at the three of them. Anger continued to surge within her. “Alright, this is your family’s matter. If you give birth to an unhealthy child, you’re the ones who should be worried, not me!” Penelope’s throat was dry from all the talking. She did not want to say anything more. “You can leave the Zachary household if you want to. I can’t control what you do,” Penelope said as she left with a dark expression on her face. Sharon finally had peace… After finding out that she was pregnant,
Sharon could tell that Rue was feeling slightly suspicious. If her father had gone on a business trip, he did not have to send her here.She pulled Rue in front of her and caressed her soft hair. “Your father has gone on a long business trip this time. He’s afraid the nanny won’t be able to take good care of you, so he sent you over. Sebastian can keep you company. You can stay here happily and tell me anything, alright?”Rue was a sensitive person. After hearing what Sharon said, she no longer felt as worried. “Alright,” she said.Sharon thought about Fern. Her gaze faltered as she said, “Your mother… She's been busy filming lately, so she probably—”“I know. My father told me that she went to the mountains to film, and she doesn’t have access to a phone signal over there. Therefore, I can’t video call her every day for the time being. I’ll wait for her,” Rue said with a sincere smile on her innocent face. She was supportive of her mother’s endeavors. She was proud that her mother
She looked at him silently without saying anything. Eugene suppressed the burgeoning emotions within him. He was overcome with mixed emotions once more. “Are you not feeling well? I’ll call the doctor over.”The doctor came over at once. After inspecting her, he said, “Miss Thompson is awake now. That means that she has overcome the critical stage. However, her injuries are still extremely serious. She still needs to stay here for a few days of observation. We’ll move her to an ordinary patient ward once we confirm that she’s alright.”“Then, she’s now…”“Let her rest for a while and drink some water. You can feed her some food if she wants to eat something later. It’ll be alright as long as you don’t touch her wounds.”Fern remained silent throughout. She had heard what the doctors said. It seemed like her injuries were pretty serious.After the doctor left, she opened her mouth to say something. However, her voice was extremely rough and hoarse.Eugene heard her. He immediately
Eugene did not leave. Instead, he ordered his men to bring him a fresh change of clothes. He then bathed in the bathroom in the ward and changed into a new set of clothes.However, he had always prioritized his appearance. He shaved off the stubble that had grown out after days of not grooming himself, reverting to his usual smart and elegant demeanor. Nevertheless, his bloodshot eyes were still a sign that he had not gotten enough sleep.Although that was the case, his thoughts were all centered around Fern. There was no way that he would leave right now. Fern understood his temper well. She would not ask him to rest if he was not willing to do so. Furthermore, she felt extremely tired now after saying a few words. Eugene asked someone to prepare a nutritious meal for her. “Have some food, alright?” His attitude was way too good today. He was being so nice that it was hard for her to reject his offer. Fern met his gaze silently for a few seconds and responded with a singl
“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
