"The restaurant?" Marcia's heart skipped a beat."Yeah, a pretty famous one," Myron said casually. "I was wondering what Eli was doing there so late at night. It's so unlike him.Usually, when he's on a business trip, he just eats whatever's available at the hotel. Don't let his pickiness fool you—when it comes to food, he'll make do with whatever's at hand.Guess it's a habit his dad drilled into him!" Myron shook his head, exasperated. "By the way, Patricia, if you have time, try to visit Eli's family more often. I can tell his parents have it tough."Noticing Marcia standing silently, Myron scratched the back of his head, looking a bit sheepish. "Ah, what's gotten into me? I sound like an old busybody! Patricia, don't mind my rambling, okay?"By now, they had arrived in front of the Azure building. Myron parked the car and chuckled lightly. "Well, the roads were pretty clear today—got here in no time. Patricia, we're here! Patricia?"He hesitated, waving a hand in front of Marcia's

"Cia, do you have any idea how you look when you talk about Eli?" Shirley's lips curled into a playful smile as she leisurely observed Marcia."Hmm? Just my usual self. Why? Is there something wrong?" Marcia hesitated, touching her face.Shirley pointed above Marcia's head and sighed. "The aura of gloom around you is practically freezing the warm air in this room into ice! Cia, if something's bothering you, just tell me. You know I'm your greatest ally! If Eli's done anything wrong, I'll march over and give him a good thrashing!"Marcia shook her head. "It's nothing like that! He...he didn't do anything!"Before Marcia could react, Shirley had already raised her phone and snapped a picture of her with a crisp click. "Here, look at this—the face of a scorned woman! Patricia, I'm not blind. I could tell at lunch you weren't yourself. If it wasn't a fight with Eli, then you must be upset about me and Calvin..."Marcia waved her hands furiously. "You and Calvin? I couldn't be happier for

The resentment and regret, the love and the remorse that had been building up over the years suddenly erupted all at once."Dad! Dad! Don't go! Don't leave me! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have ignored your advice. Please, come back!"In an instant, painful memories flooded her mind. Marcia pounded her fists into Jeff, screaming in anguish as if she had gone mad.Jeff's irritated expression slowly softened, and without saying a word, he silently endured everything. His eyes held an inexplicable trace of sorrow and melancholy. So, this is what it looks like when a woman breaks down—does it make her more pitiable when she's in this state?Marcia sobbed uncontrollably, feeling overwhelmed by the sudden emotional blow. She had become so consumed by Elijah's warmth, and the recent happiness she had found made the blow feel unbearable. Something that should have been easy to brush off now nearly pushed her to the edge of collapse."Dad... Dad!"Marcia's body shook as she once again saw th

Jeff glanced at the time. It was already time to clock off. He was finally able to leave early and didn't have to pull another all-night shift. The usually serious expression on his face softened slightly, revealing a hint of joy.How long had it been since he'd been able to get a good night's sleep?Looking back, he wondered how crazy he had been to choose such a grueling profession that left him exhausted, with no time for anything else!Stretching his arms, he removed his white coat. Just as he was about to put on his jacket, he heard a gentle knock on the door."Come in," Jeff said in a low voice.As soon as he spoke, Nurse Tess hurriedly entered the room."Jeff, the patient you just brought in—there seems to be a problem with her."Jeff froze for a moment. "The patient I brought in? Patricia?""Yes, the woman you put in the bed this afternoon. Jeff, she looks... terrifying. You might want to go check on her.""What's happened?" Jeff frowned in surprise. She should have calmed dow

"But the situation was too urgent, and I had no choice but to arrange for your surgery. I'm sorry, the miscarriage procedure was performed by me, and I also removed your fallopian tubes. Fidel was my assistant at the time, and I don't know why he said those things at the party that day. I certainly don't understand why you would think you'd never be able to conceive!"For the first time, sadness appeared in Jeff's eyes as he looked at Marcia with regret. "If I remember correctly, you simply have a lower chance of getting pregnant than others, not that you can't conceive at all! How long has your period been delayed? Do you remember? If you're really curious whether you're pregnant, you can buy a home pregnancy test! Although it's not as accurate as a hospital test, it'll at least give you some peace of mind."Marcia opened her mouth, but for some reason, she couldn't speak. Tears flooded out uncontrollably.She grabbed Jeff's hand again, holding it with such force that he couldn't pul
