Eugene had guessed correctly. The man had splashed acid at them! Sydney started to panic the moment she returned to her senses. The burning pain soon followed. She shouted out in terror, “Ah… My face…” Was she going to be disfigured? “Wyatt! Catch that man!” Eugene shouted coldly. The instigator could not escape.After giving Wyatt his orders, he carried Sydney and took her into his car. He then shouted at the chauffeur in a heavy tone, “Head over to the hospital at the fastest speed you can manage!”Sydney cried out in fear. She could not stop trembling all over.“I’m sorry, Sydney. I must take off your clothes,” he said while he removed her clothes. Her clothes were all splattered with acid. He had no choice but to take off all of her clothes to minimize her injuries.She had shielded him from the acid just now. Some of the liquid had splashed onto her face. The areas of her skin that had come into contact with the acid started to turn white.Eugene disregarded the differe
Fern was holding onto an iPad as she scrolled through the news article and comments online. She felt like the incident had truly blown up this time around.“Fernie! Crap, something happened!” Lena ran into the room in a hurry. “Fern, have you seen the news? Your fan splashed acid onto Eugene Newton! However, his secretary shielded him. He’s completely fine,” Lena said. The tone of her voice revealed her disappointment when she said the last sentence. Eugene was way too lucky. “I saw it,” Fern said. Her gaze was still fixed on the iPad in her hands. “You know about it already? Sigh… How can this be? It would’ve been fine if he had gotten splashed with the acid, but his innocent secretary is the one suffering from all the injuries now. Have you seen what the netizens are commenting? They said that he must be blessed by the heavens to have a secretary like her by his side. I wonder what was on the secretary’s mind. Why would she shield such a scumbag from acid? Isn’t her life ruin
Fern did not expect Jeremy’s assistant to have recorded the video under his orders! He immediately thought of the future consequences after seeing Eugene trying to force himself on her and calmly carried out all these preparations before taking action to help her.Jeremy suddenly felt like a stranger to her. He was not as simple as he seemed to be. Of course, he had mentioned to her that he had been in the entertainment industry for such a long time. That was why he always prepared himself before doing anything. Take this incident, for instance. If he had not asked his assistant to record the entire incident, nobody would believe them no matter how much they tried to explain themselves.She lowered her eyes and chuckled. “It seems like there’s a lot that I need to learn from you if I want to survive in this industry.”“If you have any questions, I’ll teach you everything. That’s why I think that it’s best for you to sign a contract with my agency.” He was still insistent on t
“She was splashed with highly concentrated acid. That’s why… there are burns on her skin. We’ve tried our best to treat her wounds, but even if the wounds recover in the future, they’ll still leave scars.” His words implied that Sydney had been badly wounded this time around. The areas of skin that had been splashed with acid were ruined.Eugene’s gaze darkened as his handsome features hardened. He lowered his head to look at Sydney. He was about to ask the doctor something else when Sydney suddenly grabbed his sleeve and cried out sorrowfully. “President Eugene, my face is ruined… How can I go out and meet other people now? I… I don’t want to live anymore…” She was in despair right now. She looked hideous. She would never be compatible with him, and she would not even have the right to become his secretary after this. “What nonsense are you talking about? Cosmetic surgery is extremely advanced nowadays. I’ll hire the best doctor for you. Your face will definitely be fixed.”
Fern watched as Eugene carefully brought Sydney to the ward. She had seen this gentle expression on his face before, but years had passed since then. Back then, they were still in university.Her gaze darkened as she pursed her lips mockingly. Perhaps it was a good thing that he had another woman by his side.When she left the hospital together with Jeremy, the media reporters, who had been crouching by the side, immediately crowded around them.“Are both of you here to visit the patient? Can you tell us about the patient’s condition?” Fern had to give a public statement. Although her fan hurting someone else had nothing to do with her, this news would affect her as well.“After the doctor’s emergency rescue, the patient is in stable condition. I’ll pay for all her treatment fees,” Fern said.“Do you mean that you’re going to pay for what your fan did? I heard that he wanted to stand up for you by splashing acid on Eugene Newton, but nothing happened to him at all. Don’t you fee
“I’ll handle it but it’ll take time. Besides, I need to go to the hospital to take care of Sydney.” “Are her wounds alright?” Sharon asked. Eugene’s expression darkened. “She’s alright,” he said in an even tone. “But the news article mentioned that she was splashed with highly concentrated acid. That man splashed it on her face…” “I’ll take responsibility for her. I’ll take responsibility for her for the rest of her life. Stop asking me about it!” Eugene said impatiently. “You’re going to take responsibility for her? What about Fern?” Sharon was shocked. An unpleasant expression appeared on Eugene’s face. “She has nothing to do with me. She doesn’t lack men.” He got up as soon as he finished speaking. Without waiting for Sharon to respond to him, he told her, “I’ll be busy these few days. Since you’re free at home, help me look after Rue.” Was he leaving his daughter to her? “I’m free? I’m actually quite busy…” Eugene cast a sideways glance at her as he scoffe
Back in the courtyard of the Zachary household, Bonnie was having a high fever. She was crying loudly due to the discomfort.Diana was carrying the crying baby. Although she had a frown on her face, she did not seem to be worried about the baby. She kept asking the butler if he had notified Simon about Bonnie’s condition.“I’ve given him a phone call. President Zachary picked up the call and already knows that Little Miss Bonnie is sick. He should be on the way back right now,” Alfred replied to her.“That’s good.” Bonnie lowered her eyes to hide the hint of satisfaction in her gaze.“Little Miss Bonnie is crying so loudly. I think we’d better send her to the hospital.” Mrs. Carter, who had been sent over by Simon to take care of Bonnie, suggested. She seemed extremely worried.“We don’t have to go so soon. Let’s wait till President Zachary gets back.” Diana rejected her offer coldly.“But she’s having a high fever…”“Didn’t I stick a cooling patch on her forehead? Besides, I’ve
Diana was afraid that Mrs. Carter would say something in front of Simon. She suppressed the anxiety within her and told him, “The weather is changing too quickly. I didn’t manage to take good care of her although I tried my best to do so. I’ve failed as her mother.”“No, I’m to blame. I stayed with Little Miss Bonnie through the night to take care of her but I fell asleep around midnight as I was too sleepy. Perhaps Little Miss Bonnie caught a cold then. If you have to blame someone, please blame me.” Mrs. York would admit to her mistakes every time. Simon glared at them coldly. He was rendered speechless by them.“The family’s doctor has already taken a look at her. He said that she’s having a fever because she caught a cold. He prescribed some fever-reducing medicine for her. She has already taken it. Perhaps she’s still feeling uncomfortable and that’s why she keeps crying,” Diana said softly. Simon had a cold expression on his face. It was useless for him to scold them. He fe
