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
Eugene glanced at the hospital director coldly. There was a strong hint of criticism in his gaze. Were they not even able to handle a woman? How was he operating a mental hospital, then?However, he was in a rush, so he did not want to engage in any nonsense. He flashed a gaze at Wyatt. Wyatt nodded and walked over. “Miss Sydney, President Eugene is here.” Sydney, who was entangled with the nurses, finally stopped causing a ruckus after she heard what he said. She raised her head to look over at once. A tall man with a slender figure stood a short distance away from her. It was Eugene Newton, whom she had been insisting on meeting. In a moment of panic, she tried to run over to him, but the nurses grabbed her tightly. “Let go of me! I want to head over! Don’t you see that the person who’s going to fetch me home is here? He’s my husband. If you dare hurt me, he won’t let you guys off the hook.” She seemed to have forgotten Eugene was the one who sent her here. Eugene t
Wyatt took out the divorcee agreement that he always kept in his briefcase. He placed it in front of Sydney and handed a pen to her. Sydney looked at the divorce agreement in front of her. She had torn up plenty of copies, but she was still forced to sign the agreement in the end! She suspected that Eugene had sent her here on purpose just so that he could force her to get a divorce. She had never been able to read his mind. She still could not understand him even now. He had been gentle toward her in the past, but he was full of coldness toward her now. Sydney held the pen tightly. Her breathing was slightly shaky. She fixed her gaze on the space where her signature would go. After a while, she signed it. Her heart lurched after she finished signing it. From now onward, she no longer had anything to do with this man?She gritted her teeth. She was extremely unwilling! She hated this situation! Eugene thought that she would not agree to sign the agreement. He was i
Sydney looked at him in confusion. He said, “These are all your belongings. I’ve asked the butler to pack everything up for you.” She looked at the luggage, then at him. Did he mean that all her belongings in the villa were packed inside these bags? “Do you hate me that much? You don’t have to be in such a hurry to kick me out, right?” Sydney felt that she could no longer suppress the rage within her. However, she had burst into a fit of rage way too soon. Not only had Eugene packed up all her belongings but he also wanted her to stay far away from him. It seemed that he did not notice her anger. He said coldly, “I’ve left you a property in Y Country. Take this check and board the plane later. You can live the rest of your life over there. Don’t come back ever again.” He had made these arrangements for her because they were once husband and wife. Besides, she had also once saved his life. However, Sydney could never accept such an arrangement! She simply thought tha
Eugene noticed the maniacal and dark glint in Sydney’s gaze. He then glanced at the time bomb in her hands, saying coldly, “I shouldn’t have brought you out of the mental hospital.” He could confirm that she really had a mental illness now! After hearing what he said, Sydney sneered and said, “No, you’re right. You shouldn’t have forced me to carry out the divorce procedure immediately after forcing me to sign the divorce agreement!” Initially, she thought that she could just sign the divorce agreement if he wanted her to. As long as they had yet to carry out the divorce procedure, they were still a lawfully wedded couple.However, he was too harsh on her. Not only did he force her to carry out the divorce procedure, but he also wanted to send her far away and prevent her from ever coming back! Eugene did not want to listen to her nonsense. He stared at the changing numbers on the time bomb. “Are you trying to kill me right now?” He maintained a calm state of mind. Syd
