Chapter 41 Calvin Walker! What the hell do you want?

Calvin lifted his arm, and his fingers frivolously slid from her brow bone to her chin. He moved closer to her, shortening the distance between them.Ten centimeters, five centimeters, one centimeter… he didn’t stop until when their lips were only an inch apart from each other. If they moved a little, their lips would touch each other.“A dog wagging its tail begging for mercy from me dares to be compared to a canary raised in a cage. You don’t mind the fishy smell on your body, aren’t you afraid that others will be disgusted that you are dirty?”“Oh, so there are still some things in the world that Calvin Walker is no good at, such as cursing. You should learn from Miss Blake how to curse people without repetition.”No one was around, so Adriana was not worried about being seen by anyone. She stepped on her high heels and took a half step closer to the man’s chest, tilting her head. Although she was short in height, she was not afraid at all. “No, I also feel dirty. When I think of m

Chapter 42 He managed his time well

It was the first time Calvin had heard Adriana scold him using his full name.She was so angry that her face stiffened, her forehead bulged with misplaced veins, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with endless fury.His deep, unhurried gaze ran over her face as if he were admiring a small wildcat blowing up in his master’s hand. “What do you think I want? Anyone who betrays me has to pay, and the only thing about you that interests me is your dying breath.”Adriana laughed bitterly, her heart weary, her once-erect posture now wilting feebly. “I didn’t betray you.”But she couldn’t say, ‘I love you with all my heart. I just didn’t think so much would happen behind my back,’ nor did she want to justify the fragmented memories of the past six years.After pausing for a moment, she said, “By the end of next week, after the implementation, you and I will return to our original worlds. Before then, I’ll move out of the Green Wick complex. You lost your money, and I lost six years of my

Chapter 43 Caught a cold

His tone was softer, as though he had learned how to listen and care more about others.Indeed, love had the power to change everything. Business marriages might be for show, but the one he had chosen appeared to be his true love.Rose explained, “The bad weather delayed the flight by an hour. Did you have to wait long?”Calvin shook his head. “No.”Adriana couldn’t help but think sarcastically, Of course not! He wasn’t idle for a moment. When you weren’t here, he had both his new lover and old lover to keep him entertained. How lively.Noticing that Calvin didn’t seem ready to leave, Rose said thoughtfully, “You two talk. I’ll wait for you in the car.”Calvin nodded and instructed Eric, “Come along.”Rose smiled at Adriana once more before following Calvin’s lead.Her tall, elegant figure contrasted with Calvin’s composed demeanor, adding

Chapter 44 Fever is no small matter

Adriana sighed. “Don’t give me any blueprints for the future. I’ve got a headache. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up!”“Did you check your temperature? Do you have a fever? If you’re running a fever, you must take medicine. Your brain is your most precious asset—don’t fry it!”Adriana smirked. “Maybe I’ll give Mark a call and tell him I’m ready to accept his offer.”“Don’t you dare! I’m not joking with you! Anyway, I’ll hang up first.”After putting her phone down, Adriana walked back to her bedroom, collapsed onto her bed, and drifted off to sleep again.****When she woke up, the sun was already setting.She had spent the entire day in a daze. Her cold hadn’t improved, and she was certain she had a fever when she felt her forehead. With no choice, she got dressed and prepared to get some medicine.

Chapter 45 Do heart change?

This time, it was a male doctor with glasses, in his fifties or sixties, with a kind face.Seeing Henry’s panicked expression, he adopted a familiar tone and said, “How old are you? Why are you still fussing like a child? This is a hospital, not a railway station where you rushing to check tickets.”Henry, with a playful smile, used his usual charm reserved for elders, seemingly unfazed by how incongruous it appeared for a man over six feet tall. “Special circumstances call for special treatment,” he replied.The doctor glanced behind Henry and asked, “Changed your girlfriend again?”Adriana opened her mouth to explain, but Henry cut in, “Uncle Smith, let’s not worry about that now. Treating the patient comes first.”He pressed Adriana into the chair and stood slightly to the side. “She has a fever—thirty-nine degrees,” he reported.Smith Jones gave Adriana a brief

Chapter 46 Wanna make a bet?

“Do people change their hearts?”Calvin had wondered this more than once—whether Adriana’s heart had changed or if she had been acting from start to finish.She used to stick to him, doing whatever he told her to do, acting like a brainless puppet. How could she be a lawyer with her IQ? Was she not afraid of getting her client killed?What puzzled him even more was that Adriana had actually been able to get guaranteed admission to NYU, and he wondered if it was because her father had donated a large sum to the University.However, after staying abroad for three years, she was suddenly enlightened.Rose was a bit of a novice when it came to hypnosis, but she was a psychologist and an outsider, so her insights might be clearer.“Would you like to hear my understanding of the matter?”Calvin hummed.Rose didn’t dare to ask for more specifics, for fear that prying into his privacy would be

Chapter 47 When did she fall for him?

Not prying into privacy and strictly adhering to the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement were Rose's greatest assets, allowing her to follow Calvin for an extended period without drawing suspicion.The second time she attempted to hypnotize Calvin, she found him answering a phone call and had to wait with a glass of warm water in hand.Using a combination of a woman’s intuition and a psychologist’s analytical mind, Rose deduced that the person on the other end of the line was likely a woman.Calvin’s tone remained flat and distant, though not as guarded as usual, suggesting the caller wasn’t a workplace associate.Then…As Rose continued guessing, she heard Calvin say, “What do your parents mean?”She couldn’t hear the other person’s response, only Calvin’s reply: “I’ll communicate with Grandpa about this.”There was a long pause, during which Rose assumed the caller was speaking at length. Calvin eventually responded, “Are you getting married for the elders or for yourself?”The

Chapter 48 Dr. Charles' girlfriend

Meanwhile, the nurse came in to remove the needle, waking Adriana from her sleep.Adriana’s eyes fluttered open, heavy with fatigue. Her body felt limp, her head buzzing. “Can I leave the hospital once the drip is finished?” she murmured.The young nurse, who had checked on her several times to ensure she didn’t miss the time to remove the needle, smiled faintly.She had secretly admired Adriana’s beauty during those moments of quiet observation.Henry, the first male god of the hospital, was a favorite among the nurses and female doctors. They competed to bring him coffee, chocolates, meals, daily necessities, and even clothes.Yet, despite their efforts, it was known that Henry already had a formal girlfriend.Colleagues often speculated: if Dr. Charles were to make his relationship public, how beautiful and extraordinary must the woman be to win his heart?When she saw Adriana, the young nurse understood. Yes, only a woman so beautiful and so temperamental is worthy of Dr. Charles.

Chapter 49 Come to the hospital

Calvin flicked the ash from his cigarette, his expression growing colder and more severe.“Dr. Charles. Lawyer.”The pieces of information formed a clear picture: Henry and Adriana.Calvin yanked the car door open but slammed it shut again before stepping out. His mind churned.Adriana was utterly shameless. She couldn’t even spare her ex-husband’s friends? And she wouldn’t bother clarifying any misunderstandings, even as rumors spread?Was she trying to secure influence over the hospital by cozying up to Henry? Was she so addicted to the power that any man in her orbit became a pawn?Serves her right, he thought bitterly. Falling ill was probably the cleanest way for someone like her to meet their end.Calvin stubbed out his cigarette, but the anger continued to smolder inside him.His phone rang, interrupting his dark thoughts.“Speak,” he snapped, his voice sharp.On the other end, Kevin hesitated, sensing his boss’s foul mood. Gritting his teeth, he pressed on. “President, we’ve d

Chapter 50 Blame us for being unlucky

Kevin pondered, finding it a little difficult to speculate. He said, “Miss Clarke, you helped the Grand Empire win the lawsuit, and your professional ability has been unanimously recognized. To be honest, our company’s legal department is also in need of talents like you. The president is probably trying to recruit you, hoping to find an excellent lawyer like yourself.”Adriana laughed. “The Grand Empire’s Legal Department doesn’t seem to lack excellent lawyers. Not to mention, you already have a fixed pool of talent, and it’s usually law firms scrambling to win Grand Empire’s bids. Are you really worried about a lack of talent?”Kevin replied politely, “Yes, so I’m not entirely sure what the president is thinking. Maybe he simply appreciates your talent, especially since you’re someone he knows from the past. To be honest…”Taking this opportunity, Kevin continued, “The president is usually extremely busy with work. A lot of things go unattended. Just now, we were on the phone discus
