The morning sunshine filtered in through the windows. Eugene, who had slept on the sofa the entire night, slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he caught sight of the woman sitting beside him. She was dressing his wounds. “You’re awake?” Fern asked, sounding extremely calm. However, before he woke up, she had not been calm at all.Wyatt had told her that he was seriously injured. She could not imagine how serious his wounds were before this, but now that she was dressing his wounds, she finally saw the injuries littering across his body. He had really escaped death! An inexplicable surge of warmth erupted in Eugene’s heart when he saw her after waking up. After their harsh breakup back then, he had never expected something like this to ever happen again. Fern noticed that he kept staring at her without saying anything. Her heart lurched, and she accidentally brushed her hand against his wound during a lapse in her attention. He furrowed his brows and g
“How long will you be here for? We’re just a pair of mother and daughter, so we can’t afford to offend assassins,” she said, purposely giving him a cold look.Eugene’s deep and narrow eyes stared at her expressionless face. Then, he said slowly after a moment of silence, “I won’t let you guys suffer any danger.”Fern looked at him. She clearly wanted to say something, but in the end, she went out without saying anything.The corners of Eugene’s lips were tugged. He did not know whether to cry or laugh. Did she seriously just leave him under the care of a little girl?However, it soon became evident that he underestimated Rue.In the afternoon, Rue put the food her mother made in the morning into the microwave to heat it up. After that, she brought the food to the coffee table in the living room to eat with Uncle Eugene.Her mother was not home, so she planned to feed him herself.“Uncle, don’t force yourself. Your arm is broken and you can’t move. Open your mouth like a good boy
It was ten o’clock at night when Sharon walked out from the building of Newton Corporation. She had been working for the whole day and was exhausted.She finally realized how tiring it was for Simon to manage such a huge company.Now, she was even asking him to help her manage the Newton family’s company. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had done him wrong.To be honest, if it were not for him, she would not be able to manage this company even for one day. This company would only go bankrupt if it was handed to her.“Huh? I'm at the door. Your car will be here soon? Okay, I’ll wait for you,” she walked out and said to Simon on the other side of the phone.When she got off the call, she was about to put her phone back into her bag when a dark shadow came out of nowhere and suddenly approached her.It was too late when she finally realized what was going on and wanted to dodge. The man was dressed in black and wearing a mask, exposing only his cruel eyes. H
Sharon woke up around the afternoon the next day. After she opened her eyes, she could smell the unique smell of disinfectant only a hospital would have.She suddenly remembered that she was stabbed by a thug. Now, she felt that her wound was in excruciating pain.“Ah, Miss Newton, you’re awake. I’ll call the doctor now.” The nurse quickly ran out after.She did not have time to ask anything. She remembered that Simon was the one who brought her to the hospital. Why was he not here?When she was thinking about that, she saw him walking in with the doctor.“Shar, how are you?” Simon walked to the side of the bed and held her hand.Sharon wanted to smile at him, but she was in so much pain she could not smile. She only said, “I’m fine.”After that, the doctor examined her to make sure her wound was already stable. After telling her about the things she needed to keep an eye on, he left.She could not eat for now. The back of her hand was connected to an IV and she had some nutrie
Germaine followed Quinn into the room. Indeed, she saw Sharon lying there looking pale and weak.Before Quinn could say anything, she asked hurriedly, “Doctor, how’s Sienna? Is she hurt very badly?”“She…” The doctor stole a glance at Simon. He remembered what Simon said to him and replied, “Miss Sienna was stabbed, and her organs were injured. Along with her loss of blood, I’m afraid she won’t be able to wake up for the time being. However, her life is not in danger.”Germaine only heard that Sharon might not be able to wake up so soon. Even though her life was not in any danger, this was enough.“Oh no, my poor Sienna… Which heartless person hurt you? How despicable…” Germaine forced a few drops of tears to come out while pretending to look sad.“Chairman Newton, Shar needs some peace and quiet. Since you’ve seen her, please go back if there’s nothing else,” said Simon.What could Quinn say? Hence, he walked out of the room with a frown, looking as if he had a lot on his mind.
Eugene did not continue asking. He just looked at her, waiting for her to say something.After a while, she said after some hesitation, “It’s Sienna… She’s hurt.”Eugene frowned upon hearing that. “What happened? How did she get hurt?”“I heard she ran into a thug after work and got stabbed. She’s in a coma in the hospital now. However, they managed to save her life.” She already went to visit Sharon in the hospital.“Damn it!” A fire of rage surged into Eugene’s chest abruptly. He slammed his fist down on the coffee table, but then, he clutched his chest and grunted. He had affected his wounds with this action.“Calm down!” When Fern saw the blood on the bandage around his chest, she was horrified.“I’m very calm now.” If he was not hurt and this was not the time for him to show his face, he would not be hiding here.That bastard, Austin, must be behind this!“Do you know who hurt her?” Fern frowned and she could feel a blood-thirsty murderous intent coming from him.Eugene c
Quinn never expects that his grandson would be pointing a gun at him one day.He was so angry that the veins on his forehead started protruding. He gasped heavily and yelled coldly at the door, “Kelly!”With a loud bang, the door was opened. Kelly, the housekeeper who had served him loyally this entire time entered the room. However, she was escorted in with a gun to her head.“Old master… Second Young Master… asked his people to surround the entire place!” Kelly said frantically and angrily.Quinn glared at Austin in disbelief. His voice was extremely shaky, “Y-You’re rebelling!”“Grandpa, I learned this for you. Didn’t you snatch the position of the head from your brother this way too?” Austin said with a cold smirk.“You!” Quinn scoffed in disdain. “Can you even compare to me?”“Indeed, I’m not as powerful as you. However, I don’t want to compete with you too. Now, you just need to host a family meeting obediently and announce that I’m going to be the head of the family. That
Everyone also turned to look at Austin when they heard it. Even though he had difficulty in mobility, he was still the second young master of the Newton family after all and would still have some abilities."Yeah, Aus. Why not you just take over the corporation?" When facing a situation where there was no other suitable candidate, they all decided to choose him."Old Master, I think there's no need for this meeting to be organized. You just have to nod your head and tell us that you'll let Aus take over the corporation."Germaine heard all of it and was long ago feeling thrilled. 'With this, no one will be fighting over it with my son!'Austin did not speak a word and looked at the old master, waiting for him to announce him as the head of the family.From the beginning, Quinn did not put on a pleasant expression. 'I can't believe all of them are so spineless. At a critical moment, they choose a disabled person to be the head of the family?!'For a long time, he did not speak a w
