All Chapters of Silent Devotion: The Billionaire's Patient Love: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Kaylee looked at the man beside her with shock.When William had said "everyone has the right to be vulnerable" earlier, she'd already realized who he was.During her and Alex's last summer of elementary school, Susanne had planned to send them both abroad to study.Alex had looked forward to it for a long time, making a long list of plans.Just looking at it, Kaylee knew it would cost an enormous amount of money.She firmly refused to go.So Susanne sent her to stay at the Morgan family's summer villa instead.Those two and a half months at the villa were the happiest time in Kaylee's twenty years of living under others' roofs.She helped the staff clean the house, trim the garden, and pick grapes and apples from the backyard.The housekepers would make her delicious desserts, and that's when she learned to cook many things herself.After she'd been there for over a month, an older boy arrived.In her memory, he was a tall, thin teenager.His bones were so prominent it loo

"What?!"Kaylee stood stunned for a second before hurrying after him, asking earnestly, "Does what I just said count?""Yes, one for each. After your situation is resolved, that's at least five more weeks."William continued walking, entering the study.Kaylee was about to say something else, but the sight of his study made her forget everything.The room before her could hardly be called a study - it was practically a small library!Three walls of the spacious room were covered floor-to-ceiling with bookshelves.There were even movable ladders to reach the higher shelves."Oh my god."Kaylee couldn't hide her delight.Even though this was temporary, just knowing she'd have access to such an amazing study filled her with happiness she could barely contain.She'd always loved reading and had wanted to buy a small bookshelf for her room.Back then, living in the Morgan mansion, she never felt at home.Even though she had enough money to buy a bookshelf herself, she'd still c

She must have either misheard.Or he misspoke.William casually picked up a bottle of water, "Is it strange that I can cook? I believe everyone should master some basic life skills."Only then did Kaylee realize she hadn't misheard.This man in front of her had really just offered to cook breakfast?For all these years, she'd assumed everyone in the Morgan family was too privileged to lift a finger, let alone cook - even carrying their own bags was considered heavy labor.Who would have thought William, the wealthiest and most powerful member of the Morgan family, could cook?"No need!" Kaylee shook her head vigorously. "I can cook, or I can eat at the hospital. I was just asking casually - I'll eat at the hospital."Honor Medical Center's cafeteria had extended hours.It was open to patients, their families, and staff alike.While lunch and dinner times varied, breakfast time was surprisingly uniform.There was often a queue for food.Kaylee usually preferred to grab somet

Alex felt a pang of guilt.He thought his actions had misled his uncle, making him willing to accept a loss just to let him marry Lucy."Actually, I...""Don't like Lucy?"William put down what he was holding to look at Alex, his dark eyes like deep wells, revealing no emotion.But Alex felt a chill down his spine. "Well, it's not exactly that.""If you don't like her, why live with her? It shows that deep down, you accept her," William paused, then continued. "I think you two are quite suitable. Having a partner who admires and depends on you is important for you - that's the kind of partner you need."Although William wasn't particularly close to Alex, he could see certain personality traits in how Alex handled company matters.William had his own people in Alex's company.At work, Alex loved being flattered and pampered.He hated opposition to any of his decisions.Even when a decision was wrong, he insisted to let time and results prove it rather than have some self-proc

"I was waiting for you."Just four ordinary words.Yet they felt like deer prancing through Kaylee's heart.Throughout her life, she had almost always been the one waiting for others, rarely having others wait for her.Once, when her alarm died and she was a few minutes late to meet Alex for tennis practice.Alex sat on the table, pointing at her, "Our family took you in, and this is how you repay us - by sleeping in? Next time you're late, you can sleep on the streets."In truth, Alex had no right to make Kaylee sleep on the streets.But Kaylee, just a child then, didn't know that.She was terrified.She thought the Morgan family would really throw her out over this.From then on, she never dared to be late.Never dared to keep others waiting.Kaylee quickly composed herself, checked her phone's clock and her sent message, then said earnestly, "I sent you a message before going into surgery. Did you see it? I'm sorry... I was in a hurry and didn't confirm if you received i
