It was almost noon when they finished showering. Lewis helped Josephine get dressed and ordered some food.Sitting on the sofa, Josephine stared at the food. Her hunger instantly overcame her desire to search for Quintin. She took the plate of cut steak Lewis handed her and grabbed a piece with her
Conrad looked inside the room and asked, "Where's Chairman Alvarez?"He thought it was weird when he didn't see Lewis on the sofa today.Josephine pointed to the bedroom.Conrad hummed. Looking at Josephine, he instantly understood the situation. Lewis and Josephine must have had an exciting night y
Josephine stayed by Lewis' bedside, watching him as he underwent infusion. Only she was around when it was time to change the intravenous bag, and she was unsure what to do as Conrad wasn't there.She stared as the intravenous line slowly turned red. Blood was backflowing into the tube from Lewis' b
Lewis merely hummed in agreement.Josephine sat silently at one side of the ward, blending into the background. She wasn't angry upon seeing Sierra. Instead, she felt relieved. Sierra could certainly take good care of Lewis and prevent similar incidents like the one just now from repeating itself. B
Conrad was speechless.Lewis watched Josephine silently, his eyes not leaving her even a second.After finishing two more bowls, Josephine finally put her cutlery down with contentment while she glanced at Lewis gratefully for allowing her to have so much food.Lewis gazed at her with mixed feelings
Seth continued asking, "So, you don't care about him anymore?"Josephine heard him and looked back at Lewis, who was sitting on the bed emotionlessly. She thought that he looked pitiful. She looked back at the lollipop in her hand and, with the utmost reluctance, returned it to Seth at long last.Se
"Mrs. Larson!"Mrs. Larson sprinted in swiftly. Hearing the urgency in his voice, she asked in a flustered tone, "What is it, Master Lewis?"Lewis said sullenly, "Take her to change her pants."Stunned, Mrs. Larson knew she wouldn't be wrong as long as she did as told, though she had not fully grasp
"You may leave." Lewis glanced at the person on the bed who was writhing in pain and added, "Give her some painkillers."Dr. Halliday took a bottle of painkillers from his bag and handed it to Lewis. "She should take less of this. It works wonders but induces overdependence."Lewis took the bottle a
"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
