After a while, Seth left with Sophia.They arrived at Josephine's ward, and Seth hesitated at the door.Moments later, he pushed open the door and entered the room. "You can leave first."Sophia looked at his back with a hint of confusion in her eyes. Once the door closed, she decided to leave the h
"Mrs. Alvarez?"Using all her might, Josephine struggled to open her eyes. However, she felt like her eyelids were full of lead. She was torn between dreams and reality.Vaguely, she saw someone moving the woman off her. Suddenly, a blinding light pierced through her vision, causing her to instincti
Now, both the men remained silent.Josephine stared at them intently, waiting for them to speak. Noticing that none of them said a word, she grew somewhat angry."Why aren't you talking? I'll have my dad deduct your salary!" she threatened.Apparently, she had mistaken the two men for bodyguards.Ev
Seth answered, "What else can I do? It's karma. He has to fend for himself."Lewis chuckled. He seemed to be mocking Seth's sermon just now."Mr. Fairchild, I thought you decided to turn over a new leaf and change for the better."Seth didn't seem offended by his words. He chuckled softly, "Being a
Conrad glanced at the ward again.He didn't know what had just happened inside, but with so many doctors rushing in, something must have gone wrong with Sierra.He thought that perhaps she had become too emotional after seeing Lewis, causing her condition to worsen."Bring Sierra's parents here," Le
Both of them pondered for a while and shook their heads. "No, there was only a swaddling cloth, nothing else."Lewis lowered his gaze and fell into deep thought.The elderly lady asked again, "Sir, can we visit Sierra now?""Conrad, arrange for someone to take them to the hospital."Conrad nodded an
Lewis watched her for a while. Moments later, Josephine finally noticed him and turned to look at him.Her eyes instantly lit up when she saw him. Quickly, she got up from the bed. "You finally came! I was getting so bored. When can I be discharged?"Lewis was somewhat fascinated by how fluent she c
Lewis' gaze slightly darkened, but his expression remained unchanged. He looked at the person in the mirror and asked, "Who is Alex?"Josephine struggled free from his embrace. She then turned to look at Lewis and replied, "Alex is Alex. Who else could it be?""What's his full name?""Don't you know
"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
