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
She smiled as a sweet look flashed across her eyes. She opened her mouth obediently so he could feed her. After eating a mouthful of oats, she exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, the oats taste so good. Don’t tell me you cooked this yourself?” “I asked the cook at home to cook it,” he said honestly. “Huh? The cook from your house? In that case, does your family know about…” Did they know about her existence? “Don’t worry. Without my approval, the cook wouldn’t dare to say anything.” He did not want his family to interfere in their relationship as well. Fern sighed in relief. “That’s good.” He raised his brow. “What’s wrong? Do you feel pressured being my girlfriend?” “A little.” “Be more confident in yourself, silly,” he said as he tapped her delicate nose with his hand. The tone of his voice exuded love and adoration. Fern had thought that it was the best day ever. He was so gentle as he fed her with care. At that moment, she had told herself that she must marry him a
