There was a gash on Fern’s forehead when Eugene carried her out of the car. She was unconscious and bleeding badly. “Fernie!” Eugene had a dark expression on his face, and his gaze was filled with anxiety. Fern wanted to say something, but she was overcome with extreme dizziness. Eugene carried her and took large strides toward his car. “Start the car!” he shouted at Wyatt. “Yes!” Wyatt knew that he wanted to head to the hospital.“President Eugene…” President Shaw rushed over. “This must be an accident. That car…” Eugene interrupted him with a cold expression on his face. “This project ends here.” “No… President Eugene…” President Shaw was extremely panicked. However, he could not change Eugene’s mind now.Eugene carried Fern into the car. He then brought her to the hospital. “Her head is seriously injured. She’s showing signs of a concussion. She needs to be hospitalized for observation,” the doctor told Eugene after inspecting Fern’s wound.Eugene frowned and nod
Eugene extended his arm to press her down by the shoulders. “Don’t move around. The doctor said that you’re showing signs of a slight concussion.”Fern lay down obediently and asked, “A concussion?” She did not expect her condition to be so serious.“There was a problem with the car. It suddenly went out of control while I was driving.” She recalled what had happened.“I know.” There was an impassive expression on his face.“I think that an investment in this project comes with great prospects, but you should invest in another company—” “This project is suspended. You should rest first. There’s no hurry for you to complete your work,” Eugene interrupted her words. Fern nodded after registering his words. “Alright.” Sydney felt that she was being completely ignored as she stood by the side. Were they in contact for work purposes? “Eugene, you should go back to work if you’re still busy. I can stay here to look after Fernie. Anyway, I’m free now,” Sydney said in a soft and ge
Eugene looked at Sydney as she spoke to him cautiously outside the car. They had already been married for three years but she was still extremely careful in front of him. He frowned and said, “I got it. I’ll clear my schedule tomorrow.” Sydney was overjoyed after hearing what he said. She then asked, “Can you come back and pick a present for him with me in the afternoon?” “Sure,” Eugene nodded. He never rejected any of her requests as long as they were within his capabilities. Sydney watched as he left in his car. She was not truly happy about it. However, Mrs. Neal was extremely happy. “That’s great! We have an opportunity tomorrow. You need to make good use of your chance.”Sydney looked at her mother, feeling slightly worried. “Mom, do we really need to do this?” Mrs. Neal reprimanded her with a firm expression on her face. “Are you afraid? You’ll be at a disadvantage for your entire life if you lose out on this opportunity. You’ll only be able to secure your positi
Mrs. Neal glared at her and immediately told Eugene, “The tea may not taste good, but it’s beneficial for your health. If you can’t finish it… just take a few more sips.” She was afraid that the drug would not be effective enough if he drank too little of the tea. “I’ll drink it,” Eugene said in an even tone. However, he put down his cup. Mrs. Neal felt extremely anxious. She wanted to convince him to drink more of the tea but Sydney pulled her over to her seat and made her sit down. “Mom, sit down and eat. You don’t need to serve us.” If she continued convincing him to drink the tea, Eugene would definitely think that there was something wrong with the tea. “Alright… Alright…” Mrs. Neal said.During the meal, the mother and daughter kept paying attention to how much of the tea Eugene had drunk. Instead of finishing the tea, he simply took two to three sips of it as a show of respect to his mother-in-law. After dinner, Eugene picked up a call. He had to leave as there wer
Sydney had been married to him for three years. He had never once touched her, let alone kissed her. What was more absurd was the fact that they still slept in separate rooms at night.She knew that he only promised to marry her because of Old Master Newton’s request. Initially, she thought that it would be enough as long as she could marry him and be his lawfully wedded wife. However, she could not be satisfied with just this now. After Fern’s return, she spent each and every second worrying that he would be snatched away by her. She was afraid that she would not be able to secure her position as his wife. If she could get pregnant with his child tonight, he would not abandon her for their child’s sake. “Eugene…” she murmured.Her voice made him raise his head all of a sudden. He fixed his dark eyes on her. She opened her eyes in confusion. She stared at his handsome face as she asked him softly, “What’s wrong?” “Sydney?” Eugene returned to his senses as he stared at
Eugene leaned against the car seat. He closed his eyes and did not spare her a single glance. The chauffeur did as he said and started the car. He ignored Sydney who was still slamming her hands against the car door and drove away. Sydney fell onto the ground and hurt her wrist. She ignored the pain and shouted his name at the car, “Eugene…” Mrs. Neal saw her daughter sitting on the ground disgracefully when she came out of the house. She immediately rushed over and asked, “Syd, are you alright?” She was shocked when she saw the wound on her wrist. Blood flowed out from her wound. “Oh, how did you get hurt? Is Eugene Newton still a man?!” “Mom, I need to go back.” Sydney was afraid that he would be angry at her because of this incident. Mrs. Neal thought of something else. She nodded and said, “That’s right. Go back at once. You still have a chance since the effects of the drug haven’t worn out yet.” Sydney was not in the mood to think about getting pregnant right now.
“I want to see him. There’s something important that I need to tell him.” Although Sydney was being stopped, she was not willing to give up just like that. Eugene must be extremely angry. He did not even want to see her. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. She tried to get past the butler by brute force. “Just let me go in. I’ll come out after telling him everything.” The butler did not know what conflict had happened between them. It was the first time he had seen both of them arguing as well. In the past three years, they had always been courteous around each other. President Eugene had always been gentle and kind to Sydney. Although they were newlyweds, they behaved just like a couple that had been married for years. There was not a single spark of romance between them. President Eugene had an unpleasant expression on his face when he returned home earlier. He looked like he wanted to kill someone. “Ma’am, don’t make things difficult for me…”
Sydney did not dare to say anything right now. She could sense the air of oppression that he exuded although she was a distance away from him. “Eugene, I was wrong yesterday. My mom and I shouldn’t have… drugged you.” She paused and added in a dire tone, “If I told you that I just wanted a child, can you forgive me?” Eugene looked at her impassively as he lightly rapped his slender fingers against the armrest of the sofa. “Did you forget that I told you Rue will always be my only child before our wedding? I won’t have children anymore.” “I…” She lowered her head, and her voice was slightly shaky. “I remember, but… I want a child that belongs to us.” Eugene narrowed his eyes and said, “You’re right. I shouldn’t deprive you of your right to become a mother.” Sydney looked at him after registering his words. Had he changed his mind? Before she could feel overjoyed, he said, “If you really want a child, I can let you adopt one. You can carry out in-vitro fertilization
