Something seemed to have alarmed Maxwell when he grabbed Sunny's hand and said, "Hurry! Take me back to that floor!"Sunny looked at Maxwell with confusion. "Dad, what's going on? Do you know that little girl?"Maxwell did not have time to explain. Instead, he just said, "Just get me up there now! We need to find out which ward that girl is in!"Seeing Maxwell's urgency, Sunny did not press further. He stepped back into the elevator and pressed the button for the previous floor.Once they arrived, Maxwell immediately walked out of the elevator. "Sunny, which way did you see the little girl go?"Sunny pointed in a particular direction and replied, "That way."Maxwell immediately strode toward that direction, checking each ward as he went.…Meanwhile, Emily was eating the supper Melinda brought her on her bed. For some reason, she had jolted awake in the middle of the night with her heart racing. She felt a strong sense of unease and an inexplicable worry for Corinne.However,

As Melinda stepped out, Maxwell approached and asked, "What happened to Emily? Is she sick?"Melinda glared at Maxwell and replied sharply, "She's not sick. She's injured."Startled, Maxwell asked worriedly, "Injured? How did she get hurt? Who did this to her?""You did!" replied Melinda with a darkened expression.Maxwell was stunned and ashamed to the point of speechlessness.Melinda continued angrily, "You caused all this! Emily wouldn't have to entrust Corinne to the Carews if your family hadn't forced her to take desperate measures. Corinne wouldn't have suffered so much from a young age, and Emily wouldn't have gone to confront Marvin, which led her to end up getting slashed by his crazy wife! You've already made things hard enough for Emily. If you have any conscience left, please stay away from her! You've seen it yourself how much she doesn't want to see you!"Maxwell felt a sense of shame but also confusion. "I admit I've let her down, but why would she avoid me or entr

After tucking Emily in, Melinda walked over to the other bed where Lilin was lying. The little girl was already fast asleep, yet her furrowed brow hinted at a troubled dream.Melinda gently smoothed out the wrinkles between Lilin's eyebrows, then lifted the covers and laid down beside her, quietly closing her eyes. Despite her skill in counseling Emily, Melinda could not entirely suppress her own worries. She was concerned about Adam's well-being in prison.'That grumpy guy has never been easy to handle. Will he still be throwing tantrums at the others there? Sigh…' Melinda thought to herself. The challenges in life seemed to be universal.Melinda was unable to find solace in sleep, so she gave up on it and sat up. When she realized that it was already dawn, she decided to get up and grab some breakfast for Emily and Lilin.Melinda slipped into her shoes and put on her coat before making her way to the door of the ward. As she opened it, she coincidentally bumped into Corinne, who

Corinne also knew that Maxwell did not really have feelings for Phoebe. After all, they slept in separate beds for years.However, Maxwell still caused irreparable emotional damage to Emily. He betrayed Emily and doubted her innocence, causing her to flee and live a rootless life for many years.Nevertheless, Melinda's words stirred something within Corinne. The value of a relationship was not determined by others; only the individuals involved could say whether it was worth it.In her case, everyone thought she was stupid not to move on after her three-year wait for Jeremy, but she never wavered in her decision.Melinda had already bought breakfast while Corinne was lost in deep contemplation."Corinne, they only serve sandwiches here. I got a couple for you and Joey. You guys should be okay with that, right?" asked Melinda.Corinne snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. "Thank you, Missus Addison."Melinda smiled. "No need to thank me. It's only sandwiches. Let's head back. E

Corinne did not quite buy into Emily's claim of not wanting to know, so she continued, "Moonlight flowers are being grown In the Riveras' garden. It's exceptionally beautiful, rare, and notoriously challenging to grow."Emily was taken aback. She looked at Corinne in shock. "What…?""Maxwell told me it was his wife's favorite flower. He spends almost every day meticulously caring for those flowers. Oddly enough, he didn't seem to pay much attention to his current wife. They rarely spent time together. In fact, they slept in separate beds."Emily was stunned by this unexpected information. She looked at Corinne with a mix of confusion and surprise. "Moonie, why are you telling me all this?"Corinne pursed her lips. "Just sharing what I observed and heard at the Riveras' residence. Oh, and I also heard that Maxwell didn't want to marry his current wife. Their two children were conceived through medical means."'What?! Conceived through medical means?' thought Emily in shock.Corinn
