Howard was led to the door of the doctor’s office by the driver. As he stared at the closed door, his eyes widened and negative thoughts started running through his mind. Was Sally inside having a lovers’ rendezvous with the male doctor? Why else would the door be shut? The expression on his face darkened as he pushed the door open without knocking. When he entered, he saw a male doctor sitting at the table. There was no sight of Sally. Howard narrowed his eyes, asking, “Where’s Sally?” Wayne disguised the panic in his eyes as he forced himself to ask calmly, “You’re looking for Ms. Luke? Are you a family member?” “I’m her husband!” Howard gave the doctor a once-over but found nothing odd about him. “Oh, so you’re her husband. She wasn’t feeling well, so I prescribed her some medicine and got her to lie down for a bit over there.” There was a curtain at the back of the office, which covered and partitioned off a sickbed used to examine patients. “Howard, is that you?”
This was the doctor Sharon had mentioned… Was Sally not here for a doctor’s appointment but a date instead?Howard’s hands curled into fists at the thought. He nearly barreled himself over to punch Wayne, but he managed to stop himself. His breathing quickly turned labored. Wayne’s heart began beating faster as Howard stared at him, but he did not let his smile falter. “Young Master Howard, may I help you?” Sally could tell there was something wrong with him too and immediately asked, “What’s wrong, Howard?” Forcing down his anger, Howard told himself that he could not act impulsively. He had no proof that Sally was indeed having an affair with this male doctor. He would not be able to deal with her if she denied everything.He silently retracted his gaze and said, “Nothing, let’s go.” Now that he had found Wayne, it would be easy for him to find out if anything fishy was going on between the two of them, right?Sally could not help but feel that Howard was being a bit odd
“We did everything we were supposed to last night,” the man abruptly interrupted her and uttered such a shocking statement in a calm manner.Sharon felt her entire body tense up as she widened her eyes and stared at him in disbelief. “We… We…” She felt embarrassed and helpless at the same time. Did they really sleep together last night?Why did she have no memory of that, though? A shadow loomed over her as the man bent down and positioned himself on top of her. As he leaned forward, he seemed to be holding back an evil smile. He said, “Last night, you…” Sharon’s back bumped against the bed frame as she stared unblinkingly at the man’s handsome face that was magnified before her eyes. Her heart began racing again as she said, “I… What did I say?” She watched as the look in the man’s eyes turned unreadable. Using a long finger to tilt her chin upward, he said in a relaxed voice, “You said…” Then, as if something had exploded within her mind, Sharon’s face turned beet red. She
She did not ask him what the pill was for before swallowing it. There was a serene expression on his face as he watched her swallow the pill, as though what had happened last night was nothing more than an accident. They were adults now and were supposed to be able to face such matters calmly. However, she just did not feel comfortable about it. “Was there something wrong with the wine I drank last night?” she asked after swallowing the pill. She had not eaten anything last night and only had a few glasses of wine. “I got Franky to conduct an investigation. Both the alcohol and food served at the party had not been tampered with.” The anniversary celebration was an important event, which meant the quality of the food needed to be top-notch. After realizing she had been drugged last night, he immediately got Franky to conduct an investigation. It turned out only her glass of wine had been drugged. Sharon was startled when she heard that and immediately frowned, saying, “So tha
Sharon’s panic had not subsided when she saw him enter again, but she had to scramble to cover herself up. Flustered, she asked, “You… Why did you come back in again?” Simon tried his best to ignore her. His elegant brows were furrowed together as he asked, “Why are you bleeding?” Sharon had frantically grabbed a pillow and was quick enough to hide her body from his view. Her face was crimson red as she said, “I was just about to ask you that. What did you do to me last night?” Biting down on her lip, she asked, “Or was there something wrong with the morning-after pill you gave me just now?” “Who told you it’s a morning-after pill?” The man held his laughter back as he stared at her. “It’s not a morning-after pill? Then what did you give me?” She had a horrified expression on her face as if she was just poisoned. The man’s elegant eyebrows arched upward. “Xavier prescribed it. He said it would minimize the harm done to your body.” Dr. Fuller was here last night? He prescr
Simon looked back at the woman who was standing at the door and reluctant to enter. He said in a soft voice, “The old man said he doesn’t want to see you for the time being.”Sharon was confused. “When did I offend him?” Did this count as a covert way of driving her out of the Zachary household?The way Simon stared at her became slightly intenser. “Don't you remember?”She shook her head honestly.“Then do you remember dancing with me last night?” He tried to remind her of last night’s events.After taking a moment to remember, Sharon nodded.He continued, “Do you remember what you did to me before we finished the dance?”She tried her best to remember. She remembered somehow becoming his dancing partner and stepping on his feet several times while they were dancing. Then… This was where she became confused because she remembered the sound of people below the stage scolding her for being shameless.Her pupils shrank, and she suddenly remembered. She had kissed him in public!
Simon gave her a judging glare before saying, “Take a good rest, then. Call me if there’s anything. I’ll get someone to come over and make you some food later.”Sharon wanted to refuse, but when she thought about the state her body was in and how bad it would be for her if she did not eat, she ended up nodding instead. “Alright, I understand. Just go to work, don’t worry.”As she watched him walk to the door, she suddenly remembered that he had not answered her question. She asked loudly, “You haven't told me where you’re going to stay.”The man standing at the door turned his head to look at her with a thought-provoking look in his eyes. “I’ll tell you later.” After he said that, he opened the door and left.Sharon frowned. What kind of answer was that?Forget it, it did not matter. He could stay wherever he wanted. She was living under someone else’s roof right now, so what right did she have to take care of his affairs?She could not help thinking that since Douglas had taken
Simon peered at her, saying, “When you were sleeping, Xavier gave you an injection for your fever.”“Ah? Why do I have no idea about this?” Just how deeply asleep had she been? She had no idea that someone gave her an injection!The man seemed to not want to answer her. He merely placed the heat patch on her stomach.Sharon immediately felt the warmth on her stomach, and the pain reduced slightly. A hint of uneasiness flashed across her face, though. Why was a high and mighty president sticking on a heat patch for her? If people from the Zachary household knew about this, they might even want to murder her.“Um… I should do this myself.” She figured Dr. Fuller might have been the one who asked him to do this. When she was struggling to get up, the man said suddenly, “Don’t move.’At his words, she stopped moving. She looked at him in confusion and saw that he was staring at her stomach with furrowed eyebrows. Her cheeks grew hot as she wondered what was so interesting about her st
