Jennifer placed the box beside his pillow and said, "This is valuable. With so many people around in the hospital, be careful not to lose it."

"Given my current state, I have no time to worry about these material things. Why don't you keep it for me?" Maxwell suggested while gazing intently at her.

Jennifer didn't think much of it. She simply nodded and agreed, "Alright, I'll give it to your wife once she arrives, or I'll return it to you when you're discharged."

"There's no need for that. I think this color suits you better than it would her."

Maxwell's eyes were filled with tenderness as he spoke. However, Jennifer chose to ignore it.

Instead, she chuckled and replied, "This diamond is clearly worth a fortune. If I were to accept it, it would be hard to explain."

In the middle of their conversation, someone knocked on the door. Two uniformed police officers appeared before them.

"Are you Mr. Maxwell Lance and Madam Susan?"

"Yes, I'm Susan." Jennifer approached the police

    A wave of panic hit Rachel, and she snapped, "Then think of something else! We can't afford to run out of Jasper's medicine!"Shaun looked at her, clearly puzzled. "Ms. Walker, why not just take Mr. Jasper to see Dr. Susan? She's a doctor, after all, and her job is to treat patients. She wouldn't refuse to help Mr. Jasper."We've already ended a life doing this. Things will get out of hand if we keep going. They'll start to suspect something!"Shaun had spent many years with Hugo in the underworld. Although he had gotten his hands dirty more times than he could count, he and Hugo weren't without principles. At the very least, they weren't the kind who crossed every line.However, Jasper was Hugo's only son. So, Shaun gave in to Rachel's persuasion to help treat Jasper's illness. Yet, he felt that he had made a grave mistake. Thus, Shaun tried to talk some sense into Rachel. "Ms. Walker, I know you want to cure Mr. Jasper, but stealing the medicine isn't the answer. Every child is

    Jennifer's expression grew solemn upon hearing that. She immediately rose and headed toward the ward. At that moment, the doctor's office was packed with the families of the children, all demanding to be discharged. The on-call doctor managed to squeeze inside, trying to maintain order. "Everyone, please calm down. Dr. Susan is here!"Jennifer stood before the crowd. Everyone seemed ready to devour her, yet she remained composed and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Susan. You can share your concerns with me, and I'll address them one by one."Are the patients feeling unwell? Did my medication not help, or has it made things worse?"Yet, the families continued to demand, "Our request is to have our children discharged immediately!"They were worried that if they didn't leave soon, their kids might become the next to die. Word by word, Jennifer uttered, "Alright, since you insist on leaving, let me ask you a question. Has there been any improvement in your child's condition with

    Everyone looked at Jennifer and thought, "If this woman doesn't succeed, who will? Her determination is astounding!"After handling the situation at the ward, Jennifer went to the director's office. The child's mother was also there. Although she believed that Jennifer was responsible for her son's death, she didn't dare to do anything since Jennifer hadn't pressed charges against her husband's violence. But as soon as she saw Jennifer, she remembered her deceased son and started crying uncontrollably.The director comforted her, "Crying won't solve the problem! Dr. Susan is here now, and we can think of a solution together."When Jennifer entered, she admitted to the child's mother, "Over the past three days, we have thoroughly investigated the medication and medical orders and found no mistakes. If necessary, we can conduct an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.""You still won't admit that you killed our son?" The mother was hysterical and shouted, "He's dead! Yet you

    Jennifer prided herself on her ability to stay calm and keep her composure in any situation. However, she felt utterly helpless at the moment.She lost her patience and snarled, "I told you, if you want to investigate the cause of the child's death thoroughly, you need to conduct an autopsy! That's the only way! I am willing to take full responsibility if it was my fault!""You! You're acting arrogant because you know we can't afford a lawyer!" The child's mother shook with anger and broke free from the security guards before lunging at Jennifer angrily.Maxwell stepped in front of Jennifer to shield her. But the woman shoved him hard and struck his wound. The security guards restrained the woman again.Jennifer was stunned by the sudden attack and stared at Maxwell in shock. In that instant, his presence felt so familiar and reassuring.A weird emotion welled up within her.Maxwell endured the sharp pain and said sternly, "I will have a lawyer handle this. I wanted to let your h

    Jennifer advised, "You should rest for the next few days and try to move as little as possible. As for my situation..." She paused. "Thank you for helping me, but I'll handle it myself. You don't need to worry."Maxwell frowned. "Although their son died and they deserve sympathy, they've turned their anger toward you. Don't you know it's impossible to reason with an unreasonable person? You can't win against them in an argument, and fighting them is out of the question. How can I not worry?"Jennifer was dazed and looked at him thoughtfully.Why did she find his voice, tone, and gaze familiar? Even though they had only spent a few days together, she felt everything about him was familiar.Jennifer shook her head, trying to dismiss her thoughts. Nathan told her she wasn't from Haven City and had never been here. So, how could she know Maxwell? She must be mistaken since he was so kind to her.Just then, Maxwell asked softly, "How can a woman as outstanding as you not have any sui

    Rachel could only hide her anxiousness and patiently say, "But you're helping me by doing this. It's called a white lie, okay? Be good and call your dad again. Tell him you're not feeling well and that he needs to come back to check on you."Jasper pouted. "But I already told Dad I'm fine. Mom, what's wrong with you? Why do you always teach me to lie?"Rachel groaned at Jasper's stubbornness. He just didn't understand! She sighed. "Never mind, go back to your room and rest."After Jasper left, Rachel fell into deep thought. Normally, Maxwell would inform them before a business trip and make arrangements for Jasper. This time, he just left without saying when he would return. It was quite strange.Could he have rekindled his relationship with Jennifer after they met that day? Or perhaps Jennifer had regained her memory?The thought of it filled Rachel with anxiety. She feared her comfortable and wealthy life might soon be taken away.…The next morning, Rachel went to the hospita

    Rachel forced a smile and said to the nurse, "Alright, thank you. I'll come back another time to see Dr. Susan." With that, Rachel left. But her face darkened immediately as she turned.…At Lance Group, Rachel took advantage of her status and instructed the secretary, "Call Michael over!"Soon, Michael arrived. Although Rachel had given birth to Maxwell's child and was staying with him, Michael still held a grudge against her, though he did not dare to show it. "How may I help you, Ms. Walker?""Ms. Walker?" Rachel repeated with a sneer.Michael continued to feign ignorance. He wasn't going to acknowledge her as Maxwell's wife unless they got married!A sly glint flashed in Rachel's eyes. "I heard Maxwell went abroad on a business trip. Were you the one who bought his plane ticket?"Michael was taken aback. He recalled Maxwell's order to keep his injury a secret and nodded. "Yes."Rachel scrutinized him. "Which country did he go to?""I… Iritah," Michael blurted out a rando

    Jennifer would wake up early every day to prepare breakfast for Maxwell. She felt a sense of accomplishment seeing her culinary skills improve and the meals she made.Just as Jennifer was about to take breakfast to Maxwell, Rachel stopped her, along with Jasper.The sight of Rachel made Jennifer uneasy. Rachel, accompanied by Jasper, spoke coldly, "You seem to have a lot of free time, Dr. Susan. I heard you don't have any shifts. Yet here you are taking care of someone else's husband."Jennifer caught on and frowned. "You misunderstood. Mr. Lance saved my life. I only agreed to his request as a token of appreciation. He asked me to take care of him and not inform his family, including you. Perhaps he didn't want you to worry."Her honest explanation only fueled Rachel's anger. To Rachel, this felt like a blatant challenge.Rachel suppressed her jealousy and hatred, forcing a smile. "What do you mean? Are you saying that Maxwell doesn't need me and our son? That he only needs you?"

    After visiting Harry, Simon left the prison with a heavy heart.He drove along a mountain road, letting the cool air blow against his face. He smoked a few cigarettes to clear his mind before finally heading home.It was late when he got back. Laura was in the kitchen trying to make something to eat. Simon sighed and walked over. "Go rest. I'll handle this."He took the ladle from her and began cooking.Laura didn't leave. Instead, she stood to the side, lost in thought. When had Simon started becoming this gentle? He used to be so distant and untouchable.She had been with him for five years, yet she had never known he could cook.Deep down, Laura wished he stayed the same cold and unreachable figure. At least then, she could keep her feelings in check.Simon asked, "Why aren't you resting?""I… I've been lying down all day. I just wanted to stand for a bit." She came up with an excuse. After a brief pause, she hesitantly asked, "Did you smoke?"Simon only then noticed the

    Harry finally realized Simon had orchestrated everything. He had believed the Jensens were the mastermind behind this.Suddenly, thoughts of his daughter flooded his mind. He tried to stand up and confront Simon, but the handcuffs and shackles restrained him, forcing him to remain seated.Harry glared at Simon. "What have you done to my daughter? Tell me! What exactly have you done to her?"Simon smirked. "Nothing much. I simply taught her how to serve me, please me, and keep me happy."Harry's heart dropped. The thought of his daughter, whom he had lovingly raised and cherished, reduced to Simon's plaything after his imprisonment, tore his heart to pieces.It was a fate worse than death. "You! What happened to your father back then was my fault! I take full responsibility!" Harry's voice trembled, "But Laura is innocent. I beg you, let her go. Don't hurt her! You can kill me if you want. I'm begging you. Please, let Laura go!" Simon gazed at the desperate man before him. Ye

    It was as if Simon blamed Laura for always asking stubborn questions.Their relationship was far from normal. He didn't understand why she insisted on getting to the bottom of everything.Laura's heart dropped. She returned to the bedroom, feeling utterly lost. Her heart ached. Simon was the most ruthless, selfish, and self-serving man she had ever met.Everything she had endured last night seemed insignificant to him. What mattered to him was that his mother hadn't caused her death, sparing him from any trouble.Around noon, Simon entered the bedroom.Laura was sitting on the rocking chair by the window, staring outside. The once-proud Laura now carried a sense of melancholy.Simon's heart tightened seeing her pale face. Unfortunately, apologizing wasn't his strong suit. He was too prideful for that.Still, he walked over to her and stroked her hair. "Don't take what I said to my mother earlier to heart. It wasn't aimed at you. Laura, you've been with me for five years. I thoug

    Simon's words comforted Laura.After finishing the soup, she burrowed back under the covers. She peeked out to gaze at Simon, who was working on the couch. She could never get enough of him no matter how long she looked.Even though she knew she was being pathetic, she couldn't help herself. She was charmed by Simon. Every move he made exuded the poise and charisma of a mature man. Especially when he was focused on his work, it always stirred a sense of admiration in her.Eventually, drowsiness took over, and she drifted off to sleep again. She wasn't sure how long she slept. But later, she groggily heard Simon's voice as he spoke on the phone.Simon was on the balcony, talking to Fiona. Fiona feigned innocence. "How would I know she was on the balcony? I just noticed it was about to rain and wanted to close the balcony door for you."Simon's tone sharpened. "Mom, there's no point in making these excuses. We're mother and son. I can see right through you. If you pull another st

    Laura understood Simon was technically still single since he wasn't married yet. She could still deceive herself and live in denial. But he would become someone else's husband once he married. Would she want to be his mistress?If it came to that, even she would despise herself.Simon hummed. "You can decide for yourself when that time comes. You can leave if you don't want to stay with me. But my promise will be void. You'd better believe me when I say, only I can save your father."Looking at Simon's emotionless face, Laura suddenly realized how cruel and cold-hearted he truly was. The feelings she thought they shared, the love and devotion she had poured her heart and youth into, were but a transaction in his eyes.Laura nodded. "Then let's set a deadline. I'll give you one year. If, after one year, my father's case remains unchanged, then we'll… cut ties."Simon replied calmly, "Fine, as you wish. Now get some rest."Only then did Laura close her eyes and stop resisting his t

    Simon didn't give Laura any chance to react. He took a sip and then lowered his head before capturing her lips.Laura's eyes widened as Simon forced her to swallow the soup. She pounded on his shoulders before Simon let her go.He demanded, "I'll have no choice but to feed you like this if you don't drink the soup and take your medicine."Laura glared at him, her face flushed with both anger and embarrassment. She grabbed the bowl and downed the soup in one go. Then, she took the cold medicine he handed her.Simon finally relaxed and tucked her in. "Sleep."But how could Laura possibly fall asleep? Especially when Simon lay down beside her, pulling her into his embrace. She gritted her teeth. "Can you not touch me? I'm begging you. Don't touch me!"Simon didn't respond. He held her tightly, his warmth radiating through the thin fabric of her pajamas.Later, he noticed Laura was trembling and thought she was cold.When he turned her to face him, he realized her eyes were red, an

    A sharp pain pierced Simon's chest. In the next instant, he held Laura tightly, as though trying to shield her from the cold. But still, she trembled uncontrollably. Without hesitation, he rushed to fill the bathtub with warm water and slowly placed her into it.Simon stroked Laura's pale face, then gently instructed, "Stay in the bath for a while. I'll make you some peppermint tea. If you start running a fever later, we might need to go to the hospital."Having said that, he turned to leave the bathroom. But as soon as he closed the door, he heard her crying.Simon froze in his tracks, then turned and rushed back in. He quickly undressed and stepped into the tub before pulling her into his arms. "I'm sorry, Laurie. I'm so sorry I came home so late," he apologized in a hoarse voice. "I-I didn't know they would—""Go away! Don't touch me!"Laura shoved him away with all her strength. Her voice broke as she screamed, "While you were happily spending time with your family, I was

    As soon as Simon finished speaking, he froze. He had repeated what Laura had told him that day, almost exactly.He was a lawyer. Yet, his response was far from professional. Laura's words and actions had crept into his thoughts without him even realizing it. The realization unsettled him, leaving him feeling irritated.Meanwhile, William avoided Simon's gaze, guilt written all over his face. "Why are you bringing this up again? I've already told you. Those people came from some poor countryside. They don't deserve one million dollars."Besides, who in the right mind would complain about having too much money? If I can settle this with 200 thousand dollars, why should I pay a million? Didn't you say you found evidence to clear Brooks Group of most of the responsibility?"Simon had indeed found such evidence. That crucial piece meant Nick's family couldn't demand much compensation. Yet, a tightness gripped his chest, as if something unseen was pressing down on him. For some reaso

    Fiona fixed her gaze on Simon, then replied, "Tell me honestly. Do you really only see Laura as the daughter of our enemy? If so, why do you keep putting off your engagement to Hailey?"Is there something else on your mind? Let me warn you. If you've developed any sympathy for that bitch, I'll end my life right in front of you!"Simon's heart sank as he heard that. He could clearly see the unwavering determination in her eyes. He would never doubt Fiona's words. After all, it was Harry who had caused Anthony's death, and that had shattered her life completely.The humiliation and torment Fiona had once endured flooded Simon's mind. He clenched his fists, unwilling to dwell on it any longer.He knew that Fiona would never accept Laura. The incident was something Fiona could never get over. Suddenly, she became agitated and grabbed Simon's arm tightly. Her voice was desperate as she demanded, "Tell me now. Do you have feelings for that bitch? Answer me!""Mom, calm down. I promi
