The old master raised his hand and tried to push her away, but the fragrance invaded his senses at once. He suddenly felt refreshed. His mood calmed down a lot as well. Sharon noticed the change in his expression and asked, “How is it, Grandfather? Do you feel much more physically and mentally at ease now?” The old master glared at her and huffed. He did not refute her. Sharon smiled. This old man was simply stubborn. He looked exceptionally awkward right now. “I’ll ask Fiona to put two drops on the aroma crystal every day.” She handed the aroma crystal to Fiona. This time, the old master did not reject her offer like just now. “Grandfather, since you’ve calmed down, shouldn’t you stop trying to kick Fern and Rue out?” Sharon asked. The old master frowned and said, “When have I ever tried to kick both of them out?” He simply wanted Fern to leave his grandson. “Isn’t that so? I heard that you argued with them on that day. You even asked the bodyguards to kick them
“Mommy, will Daddy not wake up anymore?” Rue asked this question once again. Fern’s heart lurched violently as she choked up. “He’ll wake up, but he needs to sleep for a long time. He’ll wake up when he has enough sleep someday.” “When will he have enough sleep?” Rue was upset and anxious. “I… don’t know either.” Fern could not answer her question. She wanted Eugene to wake up as soon as possible. She wished that this was a dream and Eugene was not really in a vegetative state. After a while, she told Rue, “We can talk to him every day. You can ask him to wake up as well. If he hears you, he might wake up soon.” “Really? Then I’ll ask Daddy to wake up every day. I’ll ask him to wake up many times,” Rue said as she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Yes, let’s work hard together.” Fern looked at the unconscious man on the bed. In reality, she was not as strong as she looked on the outside. However, she had to conceal all her vulnerabilities in front of
“I know about your feelings for me, but I can’t bring myself to accept you. Actually, I’ve tried accepting other men, but…” Her gaze landed on Eugene as she said, “I realized that I can’t fall for any other man.”The more Asher listened to what she said, the more his heart hurt.“Alright, you don’t need to say anything else. I understand.” He took a deep breath. He could not even compare to a man in a vegetative state. “You don’t have to apologize to me. It was my decision to like you. You don’t owe me anything. However, you’re still so young. You can’t waste all your remaining time on him.” Asher still felt slightly unwilling. Fern smiled faintly and said, “It isn’t a waste of time if I spend it with him.” Asher felt a choking sensation in his throat. He knew that he should not say anything else. He clenched his hands, which were by his sides, into fists. It was alright… This was just the beginning. After a year or two, he believed that her patience for Eugene would run
Sydney was filled with fear and regret. She knelt down in front of the old master and cried out loud. “It’s all my fault. I caused this to happen to Eugene. I regret it a lot now. Sob, sob, sob…” “Regret? How much is your regret worth? Can you make him regain consciousness?” the old master questioned coldly. “I...I…” Sydney could not bring herself to answer his questions. After crying for a while, she said, “If it were possible, I wish that the person who was lying on the bed inside was me instead.” “Hmph, you’re the one who did this to him. Of course, you’d have to pay the price for it.” The old master narrowed his eyes as a cold, murderous glint flashed across his gaze. Sydney felt a wave of coldness overcome her. She could not resist trembling in fear. She did not understand what the old master meant. She sobbed and said, “I’ll pay whatever price it takes for him to regain consciousness.” “You’d better never appear in front of him ever again.” The old master’s elderl
Fern thought that Rue would be back later, but Rue returned just after she finished wiping Eugene down. “Mommy, Sebastian is here to see Daddy.” Rue held Sebastian’s hand as they walked into the ward. Sharon, Simon, and their daughter came in together. Their entire family had arrived. Fern looked over. She almost could not recognize Sebastian. Sebastian was now 18 years old. He was handsome and bright. She heard that he was well known in the special forces for being a skilled sniper. He had inherited Simon’s handsome and well-defined features. He was always training in the special forces, so he exuded a sense of righteousness and masculinity. He was bursting with manliness. “You rarely come home on New Year’s Eve, Sebastian.” Fern was rather happy to see him as well. “Aunt, I’m here to see Uncle. I only have one day of holiday. I need to leave tomorrow night,” Sebastian said. “What? You only have a day off? This… They’re being way too harsh on you guys, no?” Fern
After returning home, Sharon went to the kitchen to tell the chef what dishes to cook for tonight. She also told him to cook some additional dishes and send them to Fern and Rue at the hospital. Since her son was back for the new year, she would be personally cooking some dishes. Simon went to the kitchen to take a look since she had been in the kitchen for a long time. She had an apron wrapped around her waist and her sleeves were pulled up. She was cooking in a skilled manner. He smiled and walked over. He then wrapped his arms around her from behind. “You haven’t cooked in a long time. Why are you in the mood to cook today?” “I want to make some dishes for Sebastian. He won’t be able to have dishes prepared by his mother when he returns to the special training camp.” It turned out the dishes were for Sebastian. Although she was right, Simon still felt slightly disgruntled by how she was treating Sebastian so well. “If that’s the case, you need to prepare two dis
If Quincy regained her memories one day, how would she face her child? “Sharon, are you still there?” Quincy asked when she did not hear her reply. Sharon immediately returned to her senses. “Yes, I’m here…” “You must come to visit me. You’re my only friend now.” Quincy usually felt rather lonely, especially when Dayton was not home. The worse thing was she could not remember anything from the past, so she did not know what other friends she had. Sharon was the only one who had come to visit her, so she was the only friend she remembered. “Sure, I’ll definitely come visit you.” In a situation like this, Sharon reckoned that she had to visit Quincy. She had to ask Dayton what else he intended to do. He was hurting Quincy by doing this. Of course, she could not tell Quincy about any of this—especially now that she was pregnant. Simon came back when Sharon finished talking on the phone. “The dishes are ready,” he announced as he held up two insulated containers in h
Fern’s eyes moistened when she heard what Rue told Eugene. Her heart gradually sunk. “Come over. Let’s eat,” she told Rue after recollecting her emotions. Rue told Eugene, “I’ll eat with Mommy first. I’ll read you a storybook after eating.” Just as Fern was preparing to eat with Rue, someone knocked on the door. “Who is it?” She found it odd. Everyone should be with their families for dinner now. Who else would come over? “Fern, it’s me.” It was Wyatt’s voice. “Mommy, I’ll open the door.” Rue ran out to open the door for him right away. After a while, Rue and Wyatt came in together. “Why are you here? Do you want to have a meal with us?” Fern saw that he was carrying an insulated container in his hands. Wyatt smiled and said, “I’ll go home to have dinner with my parents later. Here are some dishes that my mother prepared. It’s New Year’s Eve today. I wanted to bring some home-cooked dishes over for you guys.” He then noticed the wide variety of dishes on t
“I’ve completed all of his final requests. That’s it.” Yvonne cast a final glance at Quincy, who was gripped with shock. She then left the room. Quincy did not say anything to make her stay. She kept staring at the box of ashes. She stared at the box of ashes silently for an extremely long period of time. Terry asked her, “Miss, do you believe that these are Dayton Night’s ashes?” She turned around to look at Terry. To be honest, she did not really believe it. “Why don’t you first look at the assets that he transferred to you and see if they’re real?” Terry suggested. “Help me settle this.” She handed the thick pile of documents to him so that he could verify them. “I’ll go now.” Terry left the office at once. Quincy stared at the box of ashes and muttered softly, “Dayton Night, what are you trying to do this time?” She was shocked when Terry told her that Dayton had really transferred all of his assets and finances to her after verifying the documents. “Does
Quincy was still deep in thought when her secretary called her through the internal phone line. Her secretary told her that a woman named Yvonne Leif was here to see her. She frowned. Yvonne Leif? After thinking about it for a while, she finally recalled. Was Yvonne Leif not the woman by Dayton’s side? Why was she looking for her now? If she did not die, then Dayton Night... Quincy’s heart lurched. She asked her secretary to bring her in at once. After a while, her secretary brought Yvonne into the office. From the moment Yvonne appeared in her office, Quincy kept staring at her. She had a shadow. She was not a ghost or a spirit… Yvonne was perfectly fine from head to toe. She did not seem injured at all. Did she manage to avoid the bombing on the island? Yvonne was wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding onto a box. She carried her handbag on her wrist. After a while, she stood opposite Quincy’s office desk.She then took off her sunglasses and met Quincy’
Dayton had a dark expression on his face as he stared at the island with a bleak gaze. He pursed his lips. He had no intention of saying anything.He did not want to leave the island. Yvonne and his men were the ones who forcefully brought him away.“I’d rather stay on the island,” he said after a while.Yvonne looked at him in shock. After a few seconds, she burst out in mocking laughter. “You’d like her to bomb you to death, right? It’d be better than dying after going through all the torment of your illness, right?”After a momentary silence, he said, “I owe it to her.”Anyway, he would not be able to live for long. He should just fulfill Quincy’s wishes and let her end his life personally.He would not have any regrets if he died by her hand.Yvonne could not help but slap herself across the face. She then scolded herself out loud, “Why am I being such a busybody?! Why do I insist on saving you when you want to die so badly?! I’m such a fool!”She really regretted her decis
Quincy cast her cold gaze in that direction. After a while, she said, “Let’s go.” Terry did not know what she was looking at just now. He only noticed the unpleasant expression on her face. He followed her and asked, “Miss, where’s that bastard, Dayton Night? Shall I capture him personally?” He did not think that she would let Dayton go. Quincy did not stop walking. “It’s fine. I know how to deal with him.” There was a hint of brutality in her cold voice. Terry was slightly stunned. He seemed to have understood something. He stopped talking to her after that. The helicopter was waiting for them outside. Quincy and Terry got into the helicopter.Below them, the island was in a huge mess. Nobody could stop her from leaving now.“Miss, shall we go back now?” Terry asked.Quincy glanced at the situation below and looked at him. There was an exceptionally calm expression on her face. “You brought plenty of explosives over, right?”Terry nodded and said, “I brought some along
“Doctor Leif, come over and take a look at Young Master. He vomited blood again,” one of Dayton’s men told her as soon as they saw her. Yvonne walked in front of Dayton. She saw the blood that he had spat out on the floor. She was no longer fazed. “You guys should learn to get used to something like this. After all, it’ll happen frequently in the future.” Dayton’s men were stunned. What did that mean? Young Master would frequently vomit blood in the future? Dayton leaned against the sofa behind him and closed his eyes. He did not have the energy to speak anymore. Yvonne did not want to chastise him after seeing his current condition. She clearly knew that he had given up on himself a long time ago. He was simply waiting for his own death. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to carry out acupuncture treatment on him. Rumble, rumble, rumble... A loud sound rang out from outside. Dayton opened his eyes immediately. It sounded like an airplane had flown over? He immedia
Quincy was so angry that her face flushed red. If she was not being held down by his bodyguards, she would definitely strangle him to death right now!Yvonne, who was watching them by the side, could not bring herself to continue watching them anymore. She felt extremely awkward as an outsider. Therefore, she got up and said, “You guys should eat slowly.” She left the room after speaking.She truly could not comprehend someone like Dayton Night. Why was he being so persistent with Quincy Lane? To make it sound better, he was a persistent man. However, he must be a nightmare to Quincy. She could tell how much Quincy hated him. Otherwise, she would not have taken Lennon hostage. She wanted to leave this island. Perhaps love was not only about giving. Some types of love were defined by shackles and imprisonment as well. Not only was Dayton trapping Quincy, but he was also doing so to himself. However, perhaps this was his final wish in life. That was the reason why he was
Yvonne stared at him. She was suddenly at a loss for words. Quincy was pushed back into her room. The door of her room was then shut tight. She heard the sound of a lock clicking into place outside. Damn it, Dayton Night. He got his men to lock her up. She had completely lost her freedom. Quincy had no more ideas. She could only fast. She would rather die than be imprisoned by him. She started fasting. Dayton’s men reported this situation to him immediately. He wanted to head over to take a look at her, but he really did not have any energy right now. “Bring her over.” He had no choice but to ask them to bring Quincy to his room. Before Quincy arrived, he asked Yvonne to help him to the sofa so that he could sit down. He could not let Quincy see him lying on the bed so sickly. Yvonne could not help but ask, “Why do you have to do this? You’re trying so hard to put up a facade in front of her. Can’t you just tell her about your illness right away?” “I don’t need
Quincy could not help but feel shocked after seeing Dayton’s appearance. He looked at her with a gaze that made it seem like he was about to eat her alive! “You’re on the island?” she asked him. Why did his men trick her? “Are you trying to take my men hostage to escape since you thought that I wasn’t here?” Dayton was filled with rage. “Dayton Night, what gives you the right to trap me here?” She should be the one angry at him instead. Just then, Yvonne chased after him. “You should go back.” She reminded Dayton after walking to his side. However, Dayton’s mind was only filled with thoughts about Quincy. It was as if he had not heard what Yvonne said. A mocking glint rose in Quincy’s gaze when she saw that Yvonne was on the island as well. It was no wonder his men were unwilling to tell her that he was already on the island. He had brought another woman over. It was impossible for her not to recognize this woman. She was the woman he had fooled around with at hi
Just then, Lennon detected the mocking tone in her voice. She was not at all concerned about whether they were tired or not.He lowered his head and peeled the apple intently. He did not intend to continue speaking to her anymore. “Let me peel it on my own. Your hands aren’t clean.” Quincy naturally reached out for the knife. Lennon did not think much about it. He just felt slightly terrified. He handed her the knife and apple at once. Nevertheless, Quincy simply took the fruit knife away. She did not take the apple from him. While he was wondering if she thought his hands were dirty, she took hold of the fruit knife and approached him. She immediately placed the knife against his neck. “Young Madam, you…” Lennon finally realized what was going on. This was her true purpose. Quincy stared at him coldly and shouted coldly, “Walk!” Lennon had no choice but to comply with her and walk outside. The men standing by the door were shocked when they saw her holding a kni
