Why did he adore Rue so much now? He did not seem like a cruel man who would abandon his child. Fern finally opened the door. She was met with the sight of Sydney, who was causing a commotion outside the door. Her hair was messy, and there was a wild expression on her face. She looked rather terrifying. Sydney chuckled sinisterly after seeing her. “Hah, I knew that you’d definitely come out!” Fern remained impassive. She looked at her coldly and asked, “What did you say just now?” “What did I say? Didn’t you hear everything clearly? Otherwise, why did you come out?” Sydney fixed a cold gaze on her as she smiled coldly. “If there’s something that you want to say, tell me at once. Otherwise, I’ll ask them to take you away.” She wanted some peace and quiet. “Tsk tsk, do you think that you’re Eugene’s wife? Why are you acting so haughty?” How dare she order Eugene’s bodyguards to drive her away? “Let me tell you this, Fern Thompson. I’m Eugene’s wife, while you’re j
“Eugene…” Sydney had fallen to the floor disgracefully. When she saw him acting so coldly and cruelly like he wanted nothing more than to kill her, she finally realized that Fern was not just a person whom he cared about! Eugene turned around and noticed that the scalpel had left a gash on Fern’s arm. His brows furrowed tightly at once. “Didn’t I order you guys to protect her? What were you guys doing?” Eugene, who was usually well-mannered and noble, lost his temper in front of the bodyguards. He exuded a terrifying aura. The bodyguards lowered their heads. They did not even dare to let out a single breath. “Can you come over to treat her wound?!” he shouted at a nurse. The nurse must have been so shocked by his cold attitude that she did not come over and help Fern treat her wound sooner. She rushed over at once. Sydney saw how much he cared about Fern. On the other hand, he harshly knocked her down to the floor although she was his wife. He did not even show an ounce
The bodyguards managed to drag Sydney away. They could still hear her unwilling and tortured screams from a distance away. “... I want to kill you…” Everything finally quietened down after Sydney was brought away. The nurses asked the surrounding onlookers to disperse. The wound on Fern’s arm had been bandaged as well. She returned to her bed and looked at Eugene. “Are you really going to send her to a mental hospital?” She was still shocked by his decision. There was a heavy look in Eugene’s eyes as he met her gaze. “You saw how crazy she was acting just now. Besides, she hurt you again.” His gaze landed on her arm. He could not tolerate her actions time and again. He had already been extremely kind to Sydney. Fern found it hard to refute him. She could not guarantee that Sydney did not have a mental illness either. She did not actually care if Sydney was going to receive treatment in a mental hospital. She fixed her gaze on the man before her. She remembered Sydne
Sydney fell asleep not long after she was injected with the tranquilizer. Wyatt walked out of the ward with the hospital’s director. When they were at the door, the director told him, “It seems that Mrs. Newton is just slightly anxious. You don’t need to be too worried about it. She can go back after two days.”There was a strange expression on Wyatt’s face after he heard what the director said. “What do you mean that she’s anxious? Didn’t you see how out of control she was just now? If you let her go back after two days, what will you guys do if she hurts President Eugene during a manic episode? Are you guys going to take the responsibility for that?”“This…” Cold sweat beaded the director’s back. How could they possibly take the responsibility for something like that? The director noticed the expression on Wyatt’s face and cautiously asked him, “Then… we’ll send her back after she fully recovers?”“Of course, you need to give her intensive treatment. There’s no hurry. It take
Asher’s heart sank when he saw three of them leaving together. Had Fern accepted Eugene’s proposal to get back together? Sharon arrived not long after they returned from the hospital. She brought Bonnie with her. Simon had been busy recently, so he did not come along. However, he had prepared a gift for Fern. “Hi Rue!” Bonnie greeted Rue in her childish voice. “You’re here, Bonnie. I prepared a gift for you. Come to my room to take a look,” Rue said as she pulled Bonnie over so that they could play together. Sharon smiled as she watched both girls enter the room. She then looked at Fern and asked in a concerned tone, “Are you alright?” “I’m fine now,” Fern replied to her. Sharon glanced at Eugene, who was beside her, and raised her brow. “How did this happen? You’re allowed to divorce Sydney, but why did you let her hurt Fernie?” Were they in a love triangle now? “It was my mistake.” Eugene felt extremely guilty as well. Sydney poisoned Fern and almost took her
Sharon’s words stunned Fern. To be honest, she had never thought of getting back together with him. Even though he was getting a divorce from Sydney now, she still had not thought of it. She shook her head after a brief pause. “I’m doing well now. I don’t have to be with him.”“Do you still have feelings for him?” Sharon asked. Fern pondered upon it intently before replying, “Perhaps, but not to the extent that I must be with him.” When she thought about it seriously, Eugene was the only man she had ever fallen in love with. After that, she had never met another man who could move her heart. Sharon sighed on Eugene’s behalf after hearing what she said. “That means that my brother will have to remain single even after getting a divorce.” Fern looked at her and asked, “Did he marry Sydney because Old Master Newton forced him to?” “Yes, the old master forced him to marry Sydney. Didn’t you know about this?” Sharon asked curiously. Fern shook her head. “There are plent
After taking some time to process what Sharon told her, Fern asked, “You mean that this gene is inheritable?” Sharon took in a deep breath and said, “My mother and grandmother both have this gene. Our maternal family members all have this problem.” “So do you and Eugene have this gene as well?” Fern was beyond shocked. This was his secret? Was this the reason why he was not willing to have children? She would have never thought that it was over something like this... “Then Rue…” Suddenly, she started to get anxious and worried. Was Rue’s congenital heart disease caused by Eugene’s defective genes? “I think that he must’ve brought Rue to do a check-up before. You’d better talk things out face-to-face with him. This is all that I can tell you.” Sharon was afraid that Eugene would not be willing to tell Fern all this as he wanted her to be oblivious about everything. However, this would not help them get back together at all. Since he was her brother, she did not want h
Fern took a deep breath after hanging up the call. She did not understand why she was being so anxious. It was simply a normal phone call. Did she want to find out about his secret way too badly? “Mommy, what’s wrong?” Rue saw her mother clutching her phone without saying anything. Fern returned to her senses and looked at Rue. She then shook her head, saying, “It’s nothing. Did your father tell you how long he’ll be gone for?” “Oh, he said that he’ll be away for three to four days. Do you not want him to go on the trip because you don’t want him to leave?” Rue asked as she blinked her large, dark eyes while looking at her. Fern’s gaze faltered, but she could not avoid her gaze. “No, there’s just something that I need to discuss with him.” “Is that so? I thought that you couldn’t bear to watch him leave. If that were the case, I would call Daddy and ask him to quickly come back.”“That’s alright. Let him finish his work.” “Mommy, it seems like you care about Daddy
