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
