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
After the news that Fern had woken up was released, Jeremy really came over to visit her.Jeremy held a large bouquet of blue roses in his hands. He was dressed casually but still gave off a great aura that matched his status as a superstar. He looked bright and handsome.“Fernie, you’re finally awake. The filming crew and I were extremely worried about you,” Jeremy said.“It’s my fault for making you guys worried,” Fern replied courteously.“You can’t be blamed for this. Nobody expected the horse to suddenly go berserk,” Jeremy said as he put the flowers into a vase. “I don’t know what flowers you like but I saw these blue roses when I was passing by the florist today. They were just flown in today, so I bought some. I hope you like them.”Fern looked at the blue roses. Even if he did not know what type of flowers she liked, he should know that this type of flowers should not be gifted to just anyone, right? Fern did not express her emotions. She simply smiled and said, “Thank
“Don’t blame me for reminding you about this, but it’s useless even if you’ve fallen for him. You’re already a married woman. Furthermore, would he still fall for you if he knows that you already have a daughter?” Fern frowned. “A married woman? I’m still single right now,” she said.She kept refusing to admit that they were both in a relationship.“Is that what you think? You’re single? If you are, who am I to you?” Eugene huffed coldly.“You’re my boss. Isn’t that so?”“If I’m just your boss, why do you still sleep on the same bed as me?”He just wanted her to acknowledge their relationship.“You’re just being stubborn and in denial,” she said. She did not want to have anything to do with him, but he was simply unwilling to let her go.“Do you mean to say that I’m stubbornly latching onto you?” “Isn’t that the truth?” She gazed at him coldly. Their gazes clashed in the air. After a while, the corners of his lips tugged into a smile that lacked sincerity. “You can think
“Really? Congratulations to you and me! I’m going to be a godmother again!” Riley exclaimed. She was sincerely happy for Sharon after she told her that she could keep her child. Sharon had been much more relaxed these two days. However, after hearing what Riley said, her smile gradually vanished. “How’s your body recuperating? Do I need to accompany you to the hospital to do a check-up?” Sharon asked her. She recalled how badly she had argued with Jim in order to keep her child back then. However, she eventually lost her child.Riley liked kids a lot, but she could not have her own child. She must be extremely upset whenever she thought about it.Riley’s gaze faltered. Her voice softened as she said, “I’m alright. I’ve already gone for a check-up and I’m recuperating well. I can have a child in the future if I want to, but… I don’t think I’ll want to have a child again.”There was not a man who was worth her bearing a child for.“Isn’t it too early for you to say that? You ma
“Are you here today to make him seem like a good person in front of me?” Riley interrupted her suddenly. Scarlet shook her head and said, “Of course not. I just want to let you know that Jimmy isn’t as cool about it as you might think he is. He regrets everything now. He also told me that he wants to marry you. He realized that he has feelings for you.” Riley finally understood why Scarlet was here after registering her words. Instead of trying to portray him as a good person, she was here to convince her. “Do you think anything will change if you tell me this?” She no longer cared about what Jim thought. She no longer cared if he had feelings for her. “Both of you have been together for such a long time. You have feelings for him as well. Since your feelings are reciprocated, don’t miss out on each other. Both of you should get married,” Scarlet advised her. Scarlet had always been worried about her son’s marriage. There were too many women around him, yet none of his r
Scarlet did not want to discourage Jim, but given his scumbag-like behavior in the past, even she would not choose to marry him if she were in Riley’s shoes.“I’ve already stood up for you in front of Riley, but she’s still unwilling to forgive you. She’s extremely determined not to get married to you. If you don’t want to stay single forever, you’d better marry someone else.” Scarlet wanted him to know that he should not have any hope in Riley anymore.“I didn’t ask you to stand up for me in front of her. Why are you being such a busybody?” Jim asked impatiently. He grabbed his car keys and attempted to leave.“Where are you going?” Scarlet immediately asked. She was afraid that he would cause trouble again.“I’m going to look for her. I’ll resolve my own problems. I hope you won’t interfere in my problems anymore!” Jim exclaimed. He had started to panic when he heard that Riley was leaving.Perhaps he should not have let her be. No matter how much she despised him and was enrage
Why was he headed to the airport? Was he coming here to send her off?She did not believe it. “Did he force you to lie to me so that I’d stay?” she asked.“I swear to God I’m not lying to you. He’s been sent to the hospital and it’s an emergency. I’m going to the hospital to see him later. If you don’t want to see him, you can leave. I’ll tell you about his condition later. However… I’m afraid that something bad might happen. If this is the last time that you’ll get to see him…” Sharon did not continue speaking. Riley already understood what she meant.“His life and death have nothing to do with me,” Riley said. She hung up the phone immediately.This was precisely what she thought. She pulled her luggage and attempted to leave. No matter if Jim lived or died, she did not want to see him one last time.Nevertheless, her footsteps gradually slowed down as she walked. What if he really lost his life this time around… If he died just like that, could she forgive him?Did she really
