"I don't know. What did his grandmother say?" Chelsey inquired. Her intuition told her that since Lucas had asked such a question, Timothy's grandmother's last words must have had something to do with her. Lucas pursed his lips. He hesitated momentarily before replying, "You should ask him yourself."Chelsey was speechless at his response. There was no difference between answering her question and not saying anything. Lucas' words left her in suspense. Chelsey cast a puzzled glance at Lucas. He forced a smile and explained, "I simply think he should tell you. I don't want to interfere with your relationship."If she had not heard it with her own ears, Chelsey would not have believed Lucas would say such pretentious things. Chelsey ignored him and picked up her phone before heading outside to give Timothy a call. She wanted to comfort him.In no time, the call connected. Timothy spoke with composure. He sounded as calm as the night before the storm. "Chels," he said

Felicity tossed the woman she rescued onto her bed. She planned to return to the other room and take the two men to the police station. Felicity had just left her room when she felt a burning sensation spread across her body. Moreover, she felt parched and extremely uncomfortable. She immediately realized that she had fallen victim to the latest type of C-drug. The drug was colorless and odorless. However, it could cause irrationality and even madness. Felicity clutched her head in agony. Despite standing still, she grew dizzier by the moment. She felt as though the world was spinning around her.Felicity struggled to support herself against the wall and forced herself to keep her head on straight. "I just need to endure for five hours, and the drug's effects will pass," she thought. Right then, a deep voice sounded in her ear. "Ms. Jackson, what's the matter? Are you unwell?" Fred asked, his voice laced with concern. Their encounter was not a coincidence. Fred h

In just one night, Felicity earned ten times the total sum of money she had made in the past ten years.She chuckled in a self-deprecating way and mused, "What an easy way to make money."Considering the financial gain, Felicity decided she would not call Fred a "weakling" anymore.After all, his performance the night before was satisfactory. …When Chelsey woke up, it was already morning. She found herself in bed with a blanket over her. However, she did not change into her pajamas. Chelsey recalled how Lucas had massaged her foot the previous night. Exhausted, she had unintentionally fallen asleep on the couch. As Chelsey got out of bed, she could not tell if it was a trick of the mind, but her legs did not seem as swollen. Even walking felt more manageable. She walked to the bathroom to freshen up.After that, she headed downstairs to have breakfast. Lucas was nowhere to be seen—only Felicity was present. Chelsey soon noticed Felicity's radiant complexion and li

Lia spoke with confidence. She did not think she was slandering Chelsey.After listening to Lia's story, Yvonne pretended to call the waiter to place her order. She then sneaked a peek at Chelsey."Your cousin isn't pretty. It's fine to fool around with men, but I'm certain no one will marry her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be pregnant while still single," Yvonne commented disdainfully.Yvonne and Lia shared a common interest in gossiping about others behind their backs.The waiter soon brought their coffees to the table. As they sipped on their coffee, the duo continued to speak ill of Chelsey. Lia remarked, "My cousin's personal life is truly a mess. She had been living away from home for many years. "I wonder how many men she was involved with. She wouldn't have bothered to keep in touch with my family if she hadn't gotten pregnant."She probably had too many abortions, so she had no choice but to give birth this time. Otherwise, she might not be able to conceive in the futur

Lucas fell silent momentarily before saying, "She was on a mission once. It was in an icy terrain, and Felicity was soaked in cold water for two days."Because of that, she suffered severe injuries. The military doctor said she could not have children."This was initially Felicity's secret, and Lucas had no intention of sharing it with Fred.But Lucas reckoned it was better to tell the truth once he saw Fred's genuine feelings for her. That way, Fred could consider it himself. Lucas' words did not discourage Fred. Instead, he felt even more sorry for Felicity. He felt that she was a woman who sacrificed so much for the country. What reason did he have to scorn her?Fred smiled and responded, "It doesn't matter if she can't have children. I don't like kids anyway. In the future, Chels' child can inherit the family business."Lucas was somewhat surprised by how open-minded Fred was. Fred gave it another thought and decided he wouldn't give up on being with Felicity even if C
