When Josephine came around, she was already in a bed at the hospital with an IV drip inserted into the back of her hand. Her abdomen did not hurt that much anymore.She was alone in the room. She looked up at the IV drip and noticed that the bottle was almost empty. She pushed herself up into a seat
The doctor seemed to remember that Josephine could not speak. She said with a softened tone, "What about your husband? Have you informed him?"Josephine shook her head."Get him to come. How could he not pay attention to your health? He clearly doesn't care about you!"Josephine was a little stunned
Josephine looked at Patrick, and after a few seconds, she took her phone and typed. "If I give you the money, will you bring Mrs. Jinkins back?"Patrick said with a smile, "Of course! There will be someone to care for her, and she'll be less of a burden to me. I see that you and my mom are close. I'
At that moment, Josephine realized that she was on the sofa. She suddenly recalled what Lewis told her before. When she saw Seth again, chills ran down her back.If Seth knew everything, yet still feigned ignorance – his pretense was terrifying. Josephine signed. "Thank you, I'm fine.""That's good
On their profile, the person’s name was N, and they had a black suit as their profile picture.Josephine wanted to have a look at the person's profile when they sent her a message. "Hello, do you need to file a lawsuit?"She did not need to go through their profile to know that they were a lawyer.A
She tapped into the message with trembling fingers. Mr. Wade sent a message. "What is it? If you feel it is inconvenient to communicate via phone, we can meet up and talk."Josephine felt suffocated. Her phone slipped from her hands to the floor of the car. She shut her eyes in disappointment. The c
Conrad was standing next to Lewis. He glanced at Lewis with trepidation, but there were no emotions on Lewis's face. He could only feel the surrounding temperature drop. Conrad was about to say something when Lewis turned around and left, so he could only follow suit.Under Seth's guidance, Josephi
Daphne looked up at Nancy. Her mouth fell open in hesitation, before saying, "Mom, I'm not hiding anything. It's just a hunch. I don't know if you can sense it or not.""What is it?""It feels like Seth doesn't like me. He isn't interested in the family's company either. I don't know. I don't know w
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lewis asked.Josephine snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I didn't think—""Didn't think what? Your parents are my parents. It's only fair that I give a proper gesture to my parents. What's so shocking about that?"Josephine had never heard him say su
"Well, we should visit your parents first—show them their grandkids. Plus, I don't think we need to return to Elysium anymore. We'll bring Serena over once we settle down. Let's stay here for a while," Lewis answered.Josephine nodded. She agreed that it was unnecessary to go back there since the co
Seth shot the former the side eye like he was looking at an idiot.Daxtor felt offended at once. His face darkened to his usual sternness. "Why? Are you unwilling to accept your actual identity?"Seth replied, "I hear the Leigh family is in trouble. I don't want to join a sinking ship.""About that.
Daxtor stopped reminiscing and cut to the chase. "Your mother was my first love. I'm probably hers, too."The two had dated when they were in school. They had deep feelings for each other, but their social statuses were too different. Daxtor had tried retaliating against his family and convincing h
Seth came in secret. Some things were easier to do here than in their home country. Still, doing so came with some risks. He said, "You two can forget about having a peaceful life if I hadn't come here. How do you plan to repay me, Lewis?"Lewis responded, "You can go home. We don't need you here."
Lewis fell silent. "Not so soon."Josephine didn't understand. "Do you have any matters left to resolve? Or ..."Or did he want to stay here? It seemed like they didn't have a place to return to.They didn't have a house in Hardington. Apart from the villa in Styx Mansion, nothing else belonged to t
The sudden blast created a disturbance, making the image tremble as static sounds disrupted the audio.The next moment, the signal was interrupted, and the TV screen went black.Although the screen had turned dark, Josephine had keenly noticed that something had exploded in the court.Blood scattere
Josephine didn't have much to do these days. Lewis was rarely home. Alone, she felt bored. Avery didn't want to visit her either.Avery wasn't on good terms with Lewis. So she tried to avoid running into him.Josephine didn't know what Lewis was up to. Avery seemed to have no acquaintances here but
