All Chapters of Cephalosporin and Alcohol on New Year's Eve: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

During the New Year's Eve dinner, my pineapple juice was secretly swapped for alcohol. But I had taken cephalosporin earlier on.The doctors used a lot of effort to save me, but my wife, Jennifer Robinson, shielded the person who was responsible behind her."This matter ends here. Be generous and forgive him. He didn't do it on purpose."I didn't plan on letting this man off so easily. He had an ambiguous relationship with my wife.But Jennifer interrupted me with a frown. "That's enough! He's only a fresh graduate. What's the point of making a fuss? Do you have to ruin the rest of his life to feel satisfied?"I looked at how my wife was protecting him and my heart sank."Then you two can spend the rest of your lives together.""What do you mean by that? Lee, can't you not be so narrow-minded? As the employer, what's wrong with me caring for my employees? Why did you have to overthink our relationship? You've ruined our New Year's Eve dinner!"My words seemed to have exposed wh

"You're back?"Jennifer was sitting on the sofa. The moment she saw me return, her smile disappeared, and her demeanor turned lukewarm. She didn’t even ask how I was doing physically.Clearly, she hadn’t expected me to come back suddenly. She had probably been in a good mood, but the moment I opened the door, her face darkened.For a married couple to reach this point, where we were just keeping up appearances, it really felt meaningless."Yeah," I replied casually, my tone equally indifferent. It was then that I noticed her posture on the sofa seemed a bit subconsciously tense.I frowned slightly, and in the next moment, I heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom shower.There was someone else in the house."Who's in the shower?"Even though I already had a guess in mind, there was still a sliver of hope when I asked the question.However, Jennifer's expression immediately turned unpleasant as she forced an explanation."It's Henry. His water's been shut off

My dad was stunned on the other end of the line for what felt like an eternity before letting out a cold snort.“Dad? You still recognize me as your dad? You even remember this family? Lee, let me tell you, this isn’t a place you can come and go as you please! I raised you, and yet you—”“You picked up my call so quickly and still remember my number. Dad, deep down, you were waiting for me to call back, weren’t you?”After all these years, I realized that my dad, though sharp-tongued and seemingly stern, wasn’t as cold-hearted as I once thought.“You...”Before he could deny it, my mom grabbed the phone from him. Her voice was choked with emotion, her tone filled with relief.“Lee, you... you want to come back? That’s good! When will you be home? Don’t listen to your dad. He’s red-eyed himself but too stubborn to admit it. He’s missed you too.”Hearing my mom’s voice, my heart ached slightly, and I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of guilt.Back then, they sent me to a top u

I had no idea how she found out the location of the Frost family’s residence, nor how she managed to deceive the security guards to get in.It was likely through using my personal information. As soon as I parked my car, I saw her forcing a smile and approaching me.“Lee...”“What are you doing here?” I frowned deeply, feeling an oncoming headache. She didn’t answer my question directly but instead lowered her demeanor, her face tinged with deliberate flattery.“I came here today because... I hope you can come back. Lee, I’ve only just realized the company cannot survive without you.”“Cannot survive without me?” I scoffed, my tone cold. “More like it can’t survive without my father’s cooperation. Don’t you think this is ridiculous, Jennifer?”Her expression stiffened as she panicked, stepping closer. “I’ll fire Henry! From now on, I’ll cut off all ties with him! Lee, I’m begging you—come back!”She reached out to grab my hand, but I subtly evaded her touch.“Save it, Jennifer.
