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
Scarlet held her breath and tightly grabbed onto the nurse. She begged her with a ragged voice, “You must rescue him. I beg you…” She could not lose her son. She could not accept the fact that she had to send him away when he was still so young! “We’ll definitely do our best to rescue him,” the nurse said. She then immediately headed over to the blood bank. Riley’s head was filled with the nurse’s words. The rescue may fail… Her mind instantly went blank. It was hard for her to imagine what would happen if Jim really lost his life in this car accident. Her heart throbbed painfully. She hated him so much to the extent that she had sworn not to see him ever again in this lifetime. However, why did her heart hurt so much when she heard that he was dying? A sense of suffocation filled her chest. It hurt her to even breathe. She had said out of anger that she hated him and did not want to see him. However, deep within her, she still had feelings for him! She did not want him
“I’m fine now. I’ve changed the time for my flight ticket. I’ll be leaving tomorrow.” Sharon stared at Riley’s pale face. She could not help but feel worried. “Must you leave now? Your complexion looks terrible. Why don’t you rest for a few days…” “I don’t need to. I know my own condition. Furthermore, I should’ve left today. This one-day delay has disrupted my plans.” “You’re… You’re not going to wait for him to wake up?” “Isn’t he still alive? Since he’s alright, why should I wait for him to wake up?” “You donated your blood to him, which means that you’re extremely worried about him. You haven’t fully let go of him, am I right?” Sharon did not know why Riley was avoiding him. After a brief silence, Riley said, “Yes, but so what? I’ll let go of him sooner or later.” She was confident in herself. “Aunt Scarlet told me that he got involved in a car accident while he was heading over to the airport to stop you from leaving. This means that he cares about you as well.”
Fern was not bothered about the scandal with Jeremy. She had heard about plenty of such incidents taking place in the entertainment industry.Nevertheless, she had always been focused on acting in films. She had never used someone else to gain popularity. She never expected someone else to use her for popularity either.As Lena had said, Jeremy was much more famous compared to her. He had no reason to use her for gaining popularity.She did not care about her fame, but she cared about her love for acting. Now that her contract was with Eugene, she needed his approval before she took on any projects. She thought that it was meaningless.Besides, she was now injured. She could not continue filming for the time being. Therefore, she did not have the mood to care about such things.Not long after Jeremy clarified their relationship, he headed to the hospital to visit Fern once again.This time, he was not holding a bouquet of blue roses in his hands. He was holding a large bouquet of
“She seems to be recuperating well. Furthermore, she’ll be bored if she’s alone in the ward all the time. It’s good for her to have visitors. Am I right?” Jeremy asked as he continued to smile.Fern was listening to their conversation. If they continued talking to each other this way, an argument would definitely break out.“Even if that’s the case, she has someone to talk to. Outsiders don’t need to come here.” Eugene was outright driving him away.Jeremy was not vexed. “I didn’t expect you to be so concerned over her private life, President Eugene,” he said in a kind and patient tone.“Regarding this point, I’d like to give you a warning. You’re not allowed to use her for the purpose of gaining popularity ever again, especially by making it seem like both of you are in a relationship,” Eugene said in a heavy tone.Jeremy cast a meaningful smirk at him. “President Eugene, does your contract with her forbid her from dating?” For a celebrity in the entertainment industry, this was
Sebastian brought Rue to the place where he practiced shooting without Sharon knowing. They were in a manor owned by the Zachary family in the suburbs. Simon had asked someone to renovate this manor and transform it into a practice field since Sebastian kept insisting on learning how to shoot a gun. “Seb, do you come here to practice shooting every day?” Rue was curious about it after knowing that he was referring to an actual gun. “I come here every weekend.” After a brief pause, he continued speaking, “My master is extremely skilled. He’s a powerful sniper.” “Really? How skilled is he?” “His bullet will accurately hit wherever he aims. He’s also able to open fire before anyone even realizes.” Sebastian had yet to achieve Claude’s god-level shooting skills.Rue wanted to meet his master even more after hearing what Sebastian said.However, a stern expression formed on Claude’s face when he saw that Sebastian had brought Rue along with him. “Does President Zachary know
Claude glanced at Sebastian. This kid had told Candace that he was here.Candace was holding onto a thermos. It must be filled with chicken soup.“Have your injuries gotten better now?” Candace asked as she stared at his arm.“I’m alright. Thanks for your concern,” Claude said. He was not used to receiving such concern from other people.Candace smiled gently and said, “You lost a lot of blood when you were hurt, that’s why I made some chicken soup for you. You should drink some.”Claude had always had a strong physique. He did not think that he needed to drink chicken soup, but it did not seem like a good idea to reject her straight away.Sebastian nudged him when he saw just how nervous he was in front of Candace. “Uncle Claude, just have some of the soup. Miss White prepared it just for you. Don’t let her efforts be in vain.” Claude’s expression stiffened. With much difficulty, he forced himself to say, “Alright.” “Why don’t you bring Miss White into the house to take a
