"The patient hasn't recovered from an old rib fracture, has he? This wound caused the fragment to shift internally and injure his diaphragm instead. Look at this area. It's already inflamed and has blood clots on it."Conrad approached the doctor so that he could look at the film properly, only to r
When Conrad noticed the glow coming from the light outside the operating room, he let out a sigh of relief.He turned around to see Josephine, who was sobbing her heart out.An awkward look appeared on Conrad's face, but he still comforted her the best he could. "Madam, don't be sad. Chairman Alvare
In a way, his condition wasn't any better than Lewis'."He really is lucky, huh?" Kiran's pale lips curled into a mocking smirk.Robert frowned in displeasure upon hearing his son's words. He turned his head slightly to glance at Kiran. "You're the same way as well. Why did you cause such chaos in t
Josephine paused in her tracks before turning to look at Conrad.The latter said, "You must have understood what the doctor said just now, so please look after Chairman Alvarez no matter what. Don't let him get discharged from the hospital."He felt that no one was as effective as Josephine when it
Hence, the young woman took the opportunity to enter Lewis' ward and closed the door before locking it, all while Sierra was still mocking her.The latter didn't realize that the damned mute had the gall to ignore her and leave. As a result, Sierra stomped a few times on the spot while feeling very
Lewis didn't say anything for a long time.The light in Josephine's eyes slowly dimmed down. Soon, a hurt expression appeared on her face.She went silent for a moment before lowering her hand sadly.Lewis suddenly lifted her head, his hand caressing her cheek. "You're right."The young woman looked
Lewis glanced at the containers on the table. "Leave them there."Conrad nodded in response. Once he was done placing the containers, he caught a glimpse of the cigarette pack sitting on the table from the corner of his eye."Chairman Alvarez, you need to be on bed rest once you've undergone the ope
Bad-tempered patients weren't that uncommon, but none of them could rival Lewis' petulance.For others, at least their rage was justified, but Lewis' was already at an all-time high when the doctor hadn't even opened his mouth to speak since entering the ward.If he hadn't fainted earlier, the docto
"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
