He was not being too greedy for this, was he?When he watched her car tumble down the cliff, he regretted it. He regretted taking away everything that should have belonged to her.When he was kneeling by the side of the road, he had thought that as long as she lived, he would return everything that belonged to the Lane family to her. She could even avenge her parents if she wanted to, as long as she remained alive.He suddenly realized that without her, even if he had everything, there was no point in avenging his parents' death.The doctor's prediction was correct. After the three-day critical period passed, Quincy did not show any sign of waking up.Did that mean she could only lie in bed and be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life?She was only in her early 20s. She still had so much to live for!Dayton grabbed the doctor by his collar again. He could no longer control his emotions. "Can you treat her or not? You should’ve told me sooner if you can’t do anything for
Sharon had started developing a new fragrance again lately. Every day, she would get off work much later than before.However, since she was also concerned about her daughter who was waiting for her at home, she tried not to work too late.She was done with today’s work and went to her car in the underground parking lot.The parking lot was quiet with only the sound of her footsteps. She vaguely smelled a strange odor.She looked around and found that there was no one else around except for herself.This scent was very special, occasionally wafting in a strong burst. She did not have time to capture what exactly the scent was before it disappeared.Perhaps she was just imagining it, but these days, she always felt like she was being watched.She stood in place for a while longer to make sure there was really no one else before walking to her car. She then started it and drove back.That evening, she came to the study after putting her daughter to sleep. She held a cup of freshl
She was enveloped by the man's breaths and could not escape his embrace. "Stop it, I don't mean that.”"Women don’t usually say out loud what they want." He cupped her face and kissed her lips again.She always had difficulty turning down his approach. She soon kissed him back.Sharon was still nervous. "What if Bonnie wakes up later…?""The nanny’s with her." He frowned and nibbled on her lips. "Shouldn't you be more focused on this?""I'm not…" He sealed her lips before she could finish the words.Simon came out of the bathroom and saw her still lying lazily on the bed. He could not help but smile as he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. He picked up a strand of her hair and smelled it. She smelled like flowers. "Get up and go wash up?""I'm tired now, I don't want to move," she spoke in a lazy voice.It was quite tiring to even talk to him. She was too lazy to continue and pushed him away as she got up. "I'm going to take a shower, out of my way."She was picked up
The next day, Sharon brought a lot of delicious snacks to Fern's rental house.Since it was the weekend, Rue did not have to go to class."Aunt Sharon, are all these snacks for me?" Rue's eyes lit up when she saw the goodies."Of course, I hope you like them.""I like them!" Rue nonchalantly started to eat, not forgetting to ask her mother at the side, "Do you want some?""Since aunt bought them for you, you can eat them." Fern rarely bought snacks for her, and she was a well-behaved girl who did not clamor to buy this or that.Rue obediently sat on the sofa while eating and watching TV, not disturbing their conversation.“Don't you have anything to shoot recently?" Sharon looked at Fern and asked.She did not know Fern had been banished from the entertainment industry but read some gossip reports that she was being boycotted.Fern lowered her gaze, hiding the complex emotions in her eyes. She smiled and said, "I'm not working right now. I’m still picking a script. I want to ch
It turned out she had underestimated Eugene. How could he really completely cut ties with Fern?"Ahem, how much do you owe? Do you want me to pay it back for you first?" she deliberately asked.Fern shook her head. "No, I can handle it myself."Sharon knew she would refuse. She had to feign a helpless sigh and said, "If you have any difficulties, you can just talk to me. Don't treat me as an outsider. I’m Rue's aunt, after all."Fern could feel her sincerity. "Thank you."Sharon did not stay too long. She still had to prepare Simon’s gift. The man had specifically told her that today was his birthday. Even if they do not plan on having a big celebration, she still had to go back to accompany him for dinner and get him a gift. She left Fern's home and went to a DIY pottery workshop.The shop provided everything their customers needed to make their own pottery that can be used as ornaments. Sharon wanted to make a pair of matching mugs by hand. She thought no gift could be bett
"Old man, look how much I respect you! I came all the way back from school to celebrate your birthday with you," Sebastian put one hand on his daddy’s shoulder and said with a smile.Simon saw that his boy had grown a lot taller. He was only in middle school, but he was already five foot seven."Yes, today’s my birthday but I'm not old yet. Take back what you just called me," Simon corrected him.Sebastian sighed. "Old is old. It's only human to grow old, why do you mind it so much?" He patted daddy's shoulder. "But don’t worry, you’re just the right age to be a handsome and rich uncle. Girls nowadays dig that!""If your mom hears that, she'll beat you up." Simon looked at him askance.Sebastian raised his eyebrows indifferently. "I’m only saying this because she isn’t around. But let me warn you, don’t you mess around with girls outside and cheat on my mother—""No such thing will happen," Simon directly cut off his words."I know. Otherwise, you wouldn't have given me a sister
Simon looked at the clock on the wall. It would not have taken her that long to come back here from the lab.A bad feeling rose in his heart. He ended the call and dialed another number. "Locate Sharon’s whereabouts for me, I need to know where she is."The other side received his command and replied, "Yes."The next step was to wait for his subordinates to report Sharon's whereabouts to him.Sebastian noticed that Simon was a bit nervous, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don’t think too much, maybe Mommy wants to give you a surprise or prepare other gifts for you."Simon wrinkled his brows and did not say anything. Without news of her safety, his heart could not be at ease.Soon, his men called to report, "President Zachary, we couldn’t find her whereabouts but the surveillance from the lab’s entrance shows that she came out and did not go anywhere else. Wait… A man approached Madam and brought her away.""What man?" Simon immediately became alert."He had his bac
For some reason, Howard's smile sent a chill down Sharon’s spine."Then what exactly do you want?" Sharon tried to talk to him more to distract him. Maybe she could find a chance to escape."Aren't you curious about how I was able to get out of jail early? I already told you, I found success in jail and became an inventor." He suddenly made small talk with her.She was not interested at all, but in order to stall for time, she had to cooperate and act like she was curious. "Inventor? What did you invent?""Strictly speaking, it’s not an invention. It's just… Like you, I researched a very peculiar fragrance that allows the people who smell it to stabilize their minds and even forget their past troubles."Sharon could not help but snicker at his words, "I don’t think it’s possible to do that with any fragrance.""Just because you can't doesn't mean I can't. Besides, you should know that using fragrances can put people to sleep, right?" There was a certain eerie glint in his eyes.
