“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Rue noticed her odd reaction. She asked in shock, “Why are you sweating so much?” As the cabin continued moving up, Fern’s fear and anxiety heightened. She pretended to be alright and said, “I’m fine…” However, she fell from the seat as soon as she finished speaking. Her breathing grew erratic as well. “Mommy? Are you afraid?” Rue was shocked by her reaction. Fern did not know what was happening to her. Suddenly, a shadow loomed before her. Eugene pulled her into his arms. “Are you afraid of heights?” His deep voice sounded from above her. Her face was leaning against his chest, and she could listen to his strong heartbeat. The overwhelming fear and anxiety that washed over her just now subsided a little. However, her heart raced when she caught a glimpse of the view below them. She even felt a little dizzy. She instinctively grasped at the clothes at his waist and closed her eyes. Fern realized now that she had a fear of heights. “I…” “
Sydney had arrived at the cafe a long time ago. She was waiting for her. “I ordered an Americano for you. You can change it to something else if you don’t like it,” Sydney said. “No, thank you.” Fern stirred the coffee in front of her with a teaspoon and took a sip of the coffee. Sydney kept staring at her. A complicated glint flashed across her gaze after she watched her drink the coffee. “I thought you wouldn’t be willing to meet up with me,” Sydney said. “What do you want to tell me?” Fern felt like Sydney was acting slightly weird. Her gaze was slightly terrifying. Sydney took a sip of her coffee and said, “Can you return Eugene to me? I’m begging you.” Fern had thought about what she would tell her before she came over. After listening to her words, she realized that Sydney had asked to meet up because of Eugene. “You don’t need to beg me. I didn’t snatch him from you.” Although she was extremely exasperated, she still wanted to explain things to her. “If
Fern fell on the floor. A wave of excruciating pain washed over her chest. She spat out a mouthful of blood! She looked at Sydney in shock. “You… poisoned my coffee?” Sydney raised her head and burst into laughter. “Hahaha… That’s right. I poisoned your coffee. Since I can’t have him, you shouldn’t think of having him as well!” After Sydney finished speaking, she spat out a mouthful of blood as well. It seemed that she was in the same state as Fern. Fern widened her eyes in disbelief. “You… Did you poison yourself as well?” There was a wild and aggrieved expression on Sydney’s face. “Yes, I want to end my life with you!” She had thought it through. If she poisoned Fern and killed her, Eugene would never forgive her. Since that was the case, she should just die with her. That way, neither of them would be able to have him for themselves. “You… You’re insane!” Fern did not expect Sydney to be so cruel. Not only did she want to poison her to death but she also wanted to
Eugene finally let go of the worries in his heart after registering his words. Just then, Fern was pushed out on the patient’s bed. Her face was extremely pale. She was still unconscious. “The nurses will send her to the ward for observation. We’ll discuss more if any other condition arises,” the doctor said. “Thank you, doctor,” Eugene said.His gaze was still fixed on Fern. As long as she was alright, everything would be fine. At the same time, emergency rescue was being performed on Sydney as well. There was news that the operation was successful. Eugene narrowed his eyes menacingly. Of course, Sydney could not die just like that. It would be way too light of a punishment for her if she died just like that. Fern opened her eyes and was met with the sight of the white ceiling. The smell of antiseptics used in the hospital lingered in her senses. Was she… not dead yet? She moved around and struggled for a while before managing to sit up. She felt like all the en
Fern sensed the coldness in his gaze. Suddenly, she understood why Sydney had committed such an act of insanity. He was way too cold and emotionless toward Sydney. It was completely unlike how a husband should treat his wife. She looked at him and asked, “Are you divorcing her because of me?” Had she unknowingly become a sinner? Eugene’s gaze darkened as he stared at her with a terrifying gaze. After a moment of silence, he said, “Yes.” That one word had the power to make Fern’s heart tremble. She stared at him in disbelief. “You…” How could that be? She sighed aloud once again. It was no wonder Sydney wanted to take her life. If she were Sydney, she would not be able to accept the fact that her husband was leaving her for another woman too. “Since you decided to marry her, why do you want a divorce now?” She finally believed that he had no feelings for Sydney. It had only been three years, yet his feelings for her had dimmed? Did he never have any feelings for
“I’m not dead… Fern Thompson isn’t dead as well…” Sydney kept repeating these words as she suddenly lost control of her emotions. She threw everything on the bedside table onto the floor. “Why? Who allowed you to rescue us? You foolish b*stards! I didn’t need you to rescue me. I poisoned myself because I no longer want to live. Who allowed you guys to be such busybodies?!” Most importantly, Fern Thompson was not dead! The nurse almost got hit by the items that came crashing on the floor. She instinctively took a few steps back and asked, “You’re still so young. Why would you want to end your life?” She simply wanted to give Sydney some advice. “My husband was snatched from me by that b*tch. There’s no longer any meaning to my life,” Sydney cried out loud. As she cried, she suddenly thought of something. She raised her head and looked at the nurse. “Where’s Eugene? Where is he?” she asked. Was he looking after Fern Thompson? “Are you referring to President Eugene?” “Y
Sydney stared at the tall, strong, and cold man before her in stupefaction. After processing it for a while, she finally understood what he meant. Even if she agreed to get a divorce now, it was useless. She had to go to prison, and they would definitely be getting a divorce. Hatred surged within her heart. “Eugene Newton! How can you go against your own word? When we got married, you told me that you’d give me a stable life and protect me so that I won't have any worries for the rest of my life! But you’re now sending me to prison!” Not only was he in a hurry to divorce her just because he wanted to get back together with Fern, but he also wanted to send her to prison. That way, he could spend all his time with Fern Thompson! Eugene was about to leave, but he looked at her once again after hearing her complaints. “You remember everything clearly. Then do you still remember that I told you that I can protect you, give you a marriage, a life that’s free of worries, and fulf
“Look at the terrible situation that you’ve gotten yourself into. No… You almost died! You were almost poisoned to death!” Asher was infuriated. At the same time, his heart hurt for her. Fern chuckled when she saw the rigid expression on his face. “Look at me. I’m fine. Don’t be too worried about me.” “I’m worried? Hmph, what use is there for me to worry about you? I’ve told you not to get in close contact with Eugene Newton since the very start. Everything’s just great now. You got into this situation because of him. Do you still intend to get back together with him?” Asher got angrier the more he thought about it. “You’re playing a game of death by being in a relationship with him. Perhaps his wife will look for you two days later to try and take your life again.” Fern did not know if Sydney would look for her again, but she believed that she hated her to death. “So you must distance yourself from Eugene right now. He’s a married man. You shouldn’t think of getting bac
