“Um… Should I undress and get on the bed, or… Should I help you undress first?”Wrapped in a bath towel, Sally Summers cautiously asked as she stood at the bathroom entrance.Tonight was her wedding night. Further away from her, a man with a black silk ribbon over his eyes sat in a wheelchair. He would be her husband from now on. It was her first time seeing him. Admittedly, he looked better than his photos. The man had angular facial features, a sharp and high nose bridge, densely dark eyebrows, a tall and slender stature. He was the physical embodiment of her Prince Charming. Unfortunately, he was a blind man who was confined in a wheelchair. Some said that Elijah Moses was born a bringer of misfortune. At nine years old, he jinxed his parents’ death; at thirteen years old, his elder sister died. After he became an adult, he brought misfortune in the form of death to his three fiancées. When Sally first heard about these rumors, she was scared too. However, her

After saying that, Sally turned around to head back into the kitchen. The two servants hurriedly stopped her. “There’s no need, Madam.” They were employed to cook breakfast in the Moses house every day. If Sally did everything they were supposed to do, and Mr. Moses was to find out about it, would that not mean losing their job? “Madam.” One of the servants started talking in a dissatisfied tone, “Aunt Leigh and I are in charge of breakfast here. With all due respect, you’ve just arrived here and a stranger to Mr. Moses’ eating habits. Please refrain from messing things up.” The other servant went along immediately. “That’s right. Aunt Zelda is right. Please refrain from cooking, Madam.” “Mr. Moses would not eat breakfast like this.” Aunt Zelda looked at the boring and tasteless breakfast made by Sally in contempt. “A person like Mr. Moses has always had milk, ham, and sandwiches for breakfast. Madam, don’t you think that the porridge and pickled vegetables that you pr

After recovering from her thoughts, Sally scrambled to pick up her phone and squeezed out a smile at Javier. “Senior… You work here?” A smile flashed across Javier’s handsome face. He extended a hand fondly and ruffled Sally’s head. “How old are you now, and still as clumsy as ever?” Sally answered him earnestly with beaming eyes. “Twenty years old.” The man turned his head to the side as he laughed. “Why are you here at the hospital?” She pointed to the consultation room behind her and replied, “My friend is chatting with her cousin.” Javier lowered his gaze to look at the time. “It’s lunchtime now. Your friend should only come out after a while.”“I’m about to have lunch. My treat?” Sally pursed her lips as she considered his offer for a while before knocking on the door to inform Evonne. “Let’s go.” Javier led the way with a smile while Sally followed him silently. Sally’s crush on Javier started when she was in Year 2 Senior. That year, her grandmoth

Before Sally could come up with an explanation, Elijah’s extremely thin lips pressed onto hers.He locked onto her arms and had her imprisoned in his iron embrace as he willfully kissed her.Sally was dizzy from his cold breath that invaded her space.She almost thought that her soul was about to get sucked away by his kiss.He released her and smiled wickedly. “Mrs. Moses, was that to your satisfaction?”Sally’s heart twisted into a bundled mess.She struggled to break free of his grip, only to get imprisoned by him once more.The distance between them was too close and too dangerous.Sally continued her struggle in Elijah’s unending grip.Eventually, Sally ran out of energy.She pouted. “How are you so strong…?”Before marriage, Grandpa Moses had reminded her time and again that Elijah had a weak body and was prone to illness. She should take good care of him.Hence, Sally expected Elijah to be a sickly figure like her grandmother.Yet, now, her thoughts were proven to b

Lucille froze.When Aunt Zelda got dismissed from the house, Lucille merely understood that Elijah did it for Sally. She did not know the reason behind that.The truth was that Aunt Zelda had insulted Sally?!She pursed her lips. If she knew that this was the reason, she would not have brought this up!Daniel lightened the atmosphere with a small laugh. “Elijah is a man.”“Sally is a daughter-in-law to the Moses family, nonetheless. She mustn’t be made fun of by the servants!”Lucille lost the argument. She huffed coldly and retreated into silence.Grandfather Moses shifted the topic smoothly into catching up with Sally.It was then that Daniel’s phone rang. Glancing at the number on the phone, his face turned pale drastically. “Excuse me, let me take this call. Please continue chatting.”Elijah’s voice was indifferent with a hint of coldness. “Later, Uncle Daniel.”Not long after Daniel left, Wendell walked through the door in an uncouth manner.After looking around the liv
