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
“You gave Bonnie a cold shower?” Simon fixed his dark and piercing gaze on Diana as he asked her in a heavy tone.“I… No, I didn’t. How could I have done something like that to my own child? You must trust me…” Diana panicked as she shook her head to deny the allegations against her. She could not admit to what she had done no matter what! Simon stared at her coldly without saying anything. Diana did not know if he believed her or not. “Why are there so many people crowded over here? Don’t you all have your own work to do?” Just then, Penelope walked in.She huffed lightly when she saw Simon. “So you still know the way back home? I heard that you’ve been waiting for Sharon at the Newton household these days, yet she still refuses to see you.”She took a few steps over to him and laughed at him mockingly. “Don’t you think that you’re wasting your efforts on a woman who doesn’t appreciate you at all? There’s an obedient woman who treats you well waiting for you at home. You have s
Penelope was his elder sister. Her words still held some weight.However, Simon did not bother to talk much to her. “Take Diana to Maple Villa. Prepare all her daily necessities as well.” That was all that he could do for her. After all, she was still Bonnie’s mother. “No! President Zachary, I’m not leaving. I don’t want to leave. Don’t separate Bonnie and me…” Diana cried as she pleaded with him. For the sake of their child, he would not bear to do so, right? Simon did not spare her a glance. His handsome face hardened as he said, “But she doesn’t need you. Since you can’t be a good mother, let a professional caretaker take care of her.” As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and gestured for Robert to take her away. “Miss Diana, please come with me. Don’t make things difficult for me,” Robert said courteously. If she did not cooperate with him, he had no choice but to use force. “Robert, scram!” Penelope shouted coldly. She wanted to protect Diana. “Miss Dia
“Miss Diana, please stay here. You can’t go anywhere without President Zachary’s orders,” Robert told her before he left. She watched the door close before her eyes, completely separating her from the outside world. The sound of the lock clicking shut shocked her. No! She did not want to get locked up here. Was this any different from being banished? She rushed over and slammed her fists against the metal door with all her might. “I don’t want to stay here. Let me out! Let me out… I want to return to the Zachary household. I won’t stay here…” However, nobody responded to her no matter how much she hit the door. Nobody would open the door for her. She did not know how long she had been hitting the door. She was tired. Completely spent, she leaned against the door and gradually sat down on the ground. “... I want to return to the Zachary household. Let me go back…” she murmured while crying. How could Simon treat her so harshly? Regardless of everything, she was st
Sharon got a phone call from Simon as soon as she walked out of her laboratory. She raised her brow and proceeded to pick up the call.Simon’s low and mesmerizing voice rang out from the other end of the call. “I want to see you,” he said in a direct and authoritative tone.She smiled and asked, “Why are you in such a hurry? Have you resolved everything?” “Yes, I’ve already sent her somewhere else. If you don’t wish to see her, she’ll never appear before your eyes again.” “That’s harsh. Didn’t you say that you’d take responsibility for her?” She teased him. “I don’t want to say any more nonsense. Come out.” It seemed like he really wanted to see her. “What will you do if I don’t go out?” “Then I’ll go in,” he said curtly. Sharon immediately said, “Alright, wait for me outside. I’ll be out in a while.” “Hurry up.” “Alright. Stop rushing me.” It had just been a few days of not meeting each other. Was he already in such a rush to see her? Actually, she had known
“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
