When Rafael saw Angeline head toward the elevators, he ran over to his suitcase and grabbed it before following her. "Are you sure you're okay? A head injury can be pretty serious, you know."The elevator arrived at the first floor. Before Angeline could enter, a drunken man staggered out and tripped on his own feet. He caught himself on the elevator's door and puked."Watch out!" Rafael pulled Angeline to him and swiveled to shield her in his arms.The drunken man's vomit splashed over Rafael's leg. When the hotel's staff saw this, they quickly informed their colleagues about it and ran to the elevator.At that moment, the opposite elevator opened with a ding to reveal Sean leaning lazily against the railing while loosening his tie. He saw Angeline and Rafael surrounded by a group of bodyguards. Rafael even had his arms around Angeline. His gaze landed on Angeline, who was holding onto Rafael's arm.Rafael looked down at her. "Are you okay, ma'am?"She frowned. The hotel's

Jamie knocked on the bedroom door. "Ms. Lawson?"Sean looked down at Angeline, whom he had pinned against the wall. He signaled for her to respond."I'm taking a bath. What's up?" She placed a hand on his chest, trying to sound as natural as possible.Sean didn't wait for Jamie to answer. His Adam's apple bobbed at the flustered look on Angeline's face, and he leaned down to kiss her. Their breaths mingled, but she turned away before he could press his lips to hers.He was sure she wouldn't dare let Jamie find out he was here, so he allowed his lips to roam over the side of her face.Jamie stepped closer when he heard Angeline's answer. "Mr. Millstone couldn't reach you on your phone. He's been trying for the past 30 minutes, so he asked me to check on you. I'll call him and let him know you're taking a bath, but remember to call him when you're done."Angeline clamped a hand over Sean's mouth. "Alright."Sean gazed at her. He held her wrist and pressed his lips to her s

People who knew each other best knew very well where one the other's weaknesses were. They knew where to stab to make the other party hurt the most.Angeline was taken aback by Sean's words. She wanted to break free of his grip and give him a hard slap, but his words inexplicably made her lose the strength to do that. She sat there stiffly as tears filled her eyes.The disdain and contempt in his words stabbed her deeply. She stared at his handsome face and almost lost control of her emotions. Then, she said, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm like. Are you only figuring this out now?"Sean tightened his grip on her face, his breathing growing heavier by the second. He lifted her into his arms without a word and strode to the bedroom."What are you doing? Let me go!" Angeline shouted.He threw her onto the bed. She propped herself up on her elbows and watched as he loosened his tie while unbuttoning his shirt, her face ashen. Before she could say anything, he grabbed her ankle and dr

Sean's tone softened as he looked Angeline in the eyes. He said to Brian, "I just wanted to ask what we're going to do to the man who got Melissa pregnant when we catch him. We can't call the police, after all. I'm worried her heart won't be able to handle it if she finds out.""Have you already got him?" Brian's anger was evident. "Bring him to me! I'll kill him!""Not yet. If everything goes well, we'll catch him by today. What I meant was whether I should lock him up and try to find out whether anyone put him up to it. Rest assured that I'll avenge Melissa. She's like my sister, after all. She's family and means more to me than life itself."Brian fell silent for a while, seemingly composing himself. Then, he said, "We'll go with your plan, but I want him dead once you've gotten the information out of him. I'll kill him and his family for daring to take advantage of my daughter!"Sean hung up and put his phone into his pocket. He looked at Angeline. "Is that enough for you, Ange

Eric and Danny leaned against the door. They were deep in conversation about something. Eric waved a hand and shook his head, gesturing for Danny to look at Thomas, who was talking to Heather. Danny immediately went in and plopped down between Heather and Thomas. He even clapped his hands and called out to Yasmine, who nestled in Heather's arms. He wanted her to move over. It was evening. The sunset glow crept in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, painting the interior a warm orange. Angeline sat there with Xavier in her arms while she listened to Yasmine playing with Danny. She gradually calmed down.When she opened her eyes again, she was in the hospital. "Ms. Lawson, you're awake!" Jamie hurriedly went up to her. Angeline's hand twitched. She saw the needle stuck in the back of her hand, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened to me?""You had a high fever of nearly 40 degrees," Jamie replied in a low voice. "I only found out when I received a call from the suite'
