Quincy hugged Dayton tightly. However, her body was still trembling all over. She had another nightmare. She dreamt about her parents’ terrible deaths. They had blood all over their faces as they asked her why she was with Dayton. They forced her to leave Dayton… Dayton patted her back lightly. There was a hint of pity in his low voice. “It’s alright, I’ll always be here. Don’t be afraid.” Suddenly, she raised her head from his embrace and looked at him without blinking. “You said that my parents passed away in a car accident, right?” She had lost all of her memories in the accident back then, so she did not remember anything.Dayton’s gaze darkened under her stare after he heard her question.After a momentary silence, he nodded and said, “Yes.” “Why did they get involved in a car accident?” she continued asking. Dayton frowned. Why was she suddenly asking about this? Did she remember something? He suddenly tensed up as he asked, “Do you remember something?
Quincy stared at him curiously and asked, “Why aren’t you willing to let me visit them? How can you ask someone else to do something like this on my behalf? They’re my parents. What use is there if someone else gives them flowers? It’ll show just how insincere I am. They’ll definitely be angrier at me.” “I’m worried about you because of your current condition—” “Can you bear to watch me continue having nightmares and such fitful sleep every night?” Quincy started getting riled up.She spoke to him in a dire tone, “If this persists, my mental health will deteriorate. I won’t be able to take it anymore.” She held her head in her hands with a pained and dazed expression on her face. Dayton’s heart throbbed painfully as he called out, “Quincy…” He was about to wrap her in his arms when she suddenly held her stomach and shouted, “Ah…” “What’s wrong?” Dayton suddenly got anxious. “The baby kicked me…” She caressed her stomach lightly. She could not imagine how painful it wou
Quincy tried to pick up the flowers in a state of panic. However, Dayton held her back.“Don’t move. I’ll ask them to pick them up.” He then shouted at the men beside him, “Why are you guys still standing there in a daze? Pick up all the flowers at once!”“Yes!” Eight men ran over to quickly pick up all the flowers that were blown away by the strong wind. Three minutes later, the men returned with all the flowers in their hands.Dayton took the flowers and told Quincy, “You can begin arranging them now.”“Alright.” Quincy tried to arrange the flowers once again. Just then, another huge gust of wind blew toward them. The flowers that she was about to arrange were blown away once again. Dayton did not believe in such coincidences. He took the flowers from Quincy’s hands and said, “Let me do it.” Quincy evaded his hands and said, “No, I want to place them at my parents’ graves on my own.” She did not believe in such coincidences as well. Since she was so persistent, he had n
Her instincts told her that her parents’ death was not as simple as it seemed. After Dayton brought her back to the hospital, he immediately asked the doctor to come over and carry out an inspection on her. “After assessing her current condition, the child seems to be alright. But there are still some factors that may lead to instability. Therefore, you two should try your best to aid in the stabilization processes. The mother has to remain optimistic.” The doctor reminded them. Dayton’s stiffened expression finally relaxed. “Sure, we understand.” The doctor then left. Quincy rested as she leaned against the headboard of the bed. She caressed her stomach lightly and looked at the man beside her. “I was right, wasn’t I? There won’t be a problem with me visiting my parents.” “Do you know how worried I was the entire journey?” he asked with a frown. “It’s been hard on you.” Quincy held his hand. He had carried her on the way there and back here. He did not even compl
Sharon went to wash up after putting down her luggage. She was rather tired after taking such a long flight. She wanted to take a long warm bath. After she finished washing up, there were a dozen missed calls on her phone, which was on the table. The calls were all from Simon. Why was he calling her non-stop? Just then, her phone rang again. She picked it up immediately. “Hello—” “Why did it take you so long to pick up my calls?” Simon’s voice was extremely deep and carried slight traces of worry. She laughed in exasperation and said, “I was taking a bath just now, so my phone wasn’t with me. Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?” “You were bathing?” Simon calmed down after hearing her answer. However, he was still extremely unhappy. “Yes, I just got down the plane. I had to take a bath.” She then added, “You haven’t told me why you were calling me.” “It’s nothing. I just wanted to know if you’ve arrived safely.” Sharon noticed that he was unhappy from h
“You’ve prepared so many dishes. It seems like my portion is included,” Sharon told Dayton. Dayton spoke to her in an impassive tone, “Quincy hasn’t had much of an appetite lately, so I got the chef to prepare more dishes for her. That way, she can pick what she likes to eat.” Sharon pouted. She wanted to praise him for being a good host, but it seemed that she was overthinking. Quincy cast him a sideways glance. Luckily, she knew that he was usually this direct and straightforward. Otherwise, she would have complained about his bad temper. “Shar, take a look and see if any of these dishes suit your taste. Otherwise, I’ll ask them to cook some other dishes for you.” Quincy was filled with a motherly gentleness after getting pregnant. Sharon evaluated her silently. Suddenly, she felt a little dazed. Quincy was just such a fiery person in the past. She was not afraid of pain or death and insisted on fighting Dayton to the end. Actually, things were pretty good right now
Quincy found it hard to reply to Sharon’s question. Her situation sounded kind of creepy. After a brief silence, she said, “I don’t know what’s going on… Although I was kind of worried when I learned that I was pregnant with this child, I was still extremely happy. But last month...I started having nightmares every night.” Sharon frowned after hearing what she said. “Nightmares?” Quincy nodded and said, “Yes, I keep dreaming about my parents passing away in a car crash. They’re always covered in blood, looking terrifying…” She had lost her memories and no longer remembered what had happened during her parents’ car accident, but the image of them always looked so vivid in her nightmares. They always glared at her with blood all over their bodies. They seemed to be extremely angry at her. She reached out to hold Sharon’s hand instinctively. She could not help but tremble all over when she recalled the scenes from her nightmares. Sharon could sense her fear. She held he
Sharon walked into the ward next door and saw Dayton smoking alone as he sat on the single-seater sofa. His handsome face, which looked so delicate that it almost seemed devilish, was shrouded in smoke. He looked extremely pressured. “Quincy has fallen asleep. You should go over to keep her company,” Sharon said. Dayton turned around to look at her. His handsome face remained impassive. The next moment, he snuffed the cigarette stub that he was holding in the ashtray. “What did she tell you?” He fixed his sharp gaze on her. Sharon was not fazed by his fierceness. After all, she had already grown used to his terrible temper. She smiled faintly and said, “It’s a secret between me and her. I can’t tell you.” Dayton stood up and stuffed one of his hands in his pocket. He then inched closer to Sharon step by step. She did not shy away from him or retreat. She stood there and watched as he walked in front of her. He exuded a sense of coldness and oppression. “You don’t n
