Robbie leaped into action and went to open the door but froze when he saw who was outside."Mister Samberg?" Robbie stared at Austin before subconsciously glancing over at Cason.Carson had already turned his wheelchair to face their direction, and the two men stared each other in the eyes."Why are you here, Mister Samberg? Aren't you…" Robbie came close to saying the wrong thing and immediately stole a peep at Austin, who did not seem to notice."I want to speak to you, alone," Austin said to Carson."Mister Samberg, Mister Baxter has just woken up, and now…""Sure." Before Robbie was done explaining, Carson agreed.Robbie stood awkwardly but managed to change his expression and gave Austin a look politely before bowing in Carson's direction. "I will be right outside the door. Please let me know if you need me, Mister Baxter, Mister Samberg."With that, he turned to leave.Following the faint sound of the door closing, the two were the only people left inside the entire ward
"How do you know I won't?" Austin straightened his neck to appear fiercer as he said, "As long as she can be rid of you, I will do anything!"Carson continued to look at him calmly, as though he was looking at a minor, just like he did many times before.Austin felt humiliated. The look he got from Carson was familiar and it reminded him that Everly treated him differently from Carson. It was a constant reminder that Everly and Carson were meant to be, and he was nothing but a useless outsider."Austin, I remember the first summer after you came back from overseas. That was the first time I brought her to meet you. I used to take her to all sorts of gatherings back then, but all of them were attended by people we knew. That was the first time I brought her to a gathering with someone she didn't know without warning." Carson said.Carson studied the rage on Austin's face and continued calmly, "Our families have been friends. I was even there at your first birthday party, so technica
"Just you wait! Don't you think I'll go easy on you!" Austin had thought that this incident would convince Carson to give up. However, judging from the looks of it, he remained as stubborn as ever."I will do anything for her!" Austin added fiercely, but Carson continued to look at him calmly with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.Austin felt humiliated. The atmosphere inside the ward was suffocating, and he had failed to accomplish what he came to do, so he could only turn around and leave angrily.Baam!Austin stormed out, leaving Carson alone to stare at the closed door in silence.After a minute, Carson lowered his head and readjusted his wheelchair to continue facing the window. The rain fell upon the window and trailed down like tears scrolling down one's face.He stared outside the window, appearing to be looking at the rain, but at the same time not.…Outside Carson's ward, Austin slammed the door shut in rage and glared at the door.Carson might think that he would not
"Ha!" Austin sneered. "Tell me what he's given, then. I would very much like to see if what he gave was really that impressive!"Robbie looked at Austin with sorrowful eyes and remained quiet for three seconds before saying, "I'm sorry, Mister Samberg, I can't tell you.""Ha!" Austin sneered sarcastically. "Don't try to fool me with vague excuses."'He's saying Carson gave as much as I did? That I can't imagine what he sacrificed? Robbie works for Carson, and he wouldn't be here stopping me without Carson's command! All this has to be Carson's scheme. It has to be!' Austin thought to himself."Stop playing good cop bad cop here!" Austin smirked and said, "This will only make me look down on him."With that, Austin left furiously.Robbie remained standing alone and watched as Austin left before sighing a long breath.Austin turned around the corner hurriedly and stopped. He looked at his phone and decided not to make the phone call in the end."He's trying to provoke me so that
Annie went silent again. After about three seconds, she said, "Don't waste your time, Robbie. I know you mean well, but the two of them will never get back together."She looked at the pouring rain, and her mind was instantly filled with the scene she stumbled upon that day. Ever since then, she knew that Austin would never let go of Everly."What?" Robbie was confused by Annie's words and said, "You saw what happened today. Miss Pettis cried so much and even forgot about her own injuries. I think that she still loves Mister Baxter. Doesn't she want Oliver's custody? If the two get married, Oliver will finally be able to call Miss Pettis, mom. Isn't that a good thing?"Annie simply sighed and shook her head. "It's not as simple as you think. The harm Carson had caused Everly and Oliver has become a scar in her heart. Besides… there's also Mister Samberg. Robbie, you don't know what Mister Samberg did, and what he did… it goes beyond money."Robbie wanted to say something but was in
"What are you doing, Mister Davidson? How can Mister Baxter understand you if you don't clarify your intentions?" Robbie kept a certain distance and attempted to ease the tension."Stop playing games with me!" Richard roared, "Carson Baxter, if you like Violet, why flirt with my sister Lissy? Don't you know that she's in love with you?""You can't say that, Mister Davidson. Mister Baxter had rejected Miss Davidson long ago, and it was her that told Mister Baxter that she would treat him as a friend. Mister Baxter did not keep a distance from her simply because Miss Davidson once saved Oliver. You can't possibly blame Mister Baxter for this!"Carson never gave Alice any hope to begin with because everyone knew that Carson only loved Everly. The hope they spoke of was nothing but pure imagination generated by Alice's foolish mind."Bullshit!" Furious, Richard took a few long strides forward towards Carson's wheelchair before grabbing the handle and turning him around by force. He sta
He thought back to how miserable Alice looked when she cried and was on the brink of exploding when he saw Carson's expressionless face."Carson, what's so bad about Alice?" He roared, "Davidsons might not be as powerful as the Baxters, but we are at the top in both Canneville and around the globe! Our families have been partners for so many years that we know one another well! Alice is my only sister, and with her status, she could have had any man she wanted, but she only wants you! Even if you love another and have a child with that woman, Alice said she could accept it. She even told us that she would take good care of Oliver!" Tears began to gather in Richard's eyes as he spoke, "Whereas Violet uses the authority you gave her to investigate confidential information about Baxter Group in order to threaten you! You won't have someone like Alice who is fully devoted to you, but instead, you go after a vicious, scheming woman regardless of the cost! Carson Baxter, have you gone mad
"Carson Baxter, you bastard!" Richard cursed as his fist landed on Carson's face.The wheelchair fell to the side along with Carson on it from Richard's punch."Mister Baxter!" Robbie wanted to help Carson up, but Richard was still trying to leap at Carson, so he could only try his best to stop him and said, "Mister Davidson, Mister Baxter has just come out from the operation room. He is severely injured! You can't hit him like this!"However, Richard was far too angry to bother with such things. Alice was his only sister, whom he had cared for previously throughout the years. How could he possibly accept having his sister's heart broken by Carson over such nonsense?"Carson Baxter! Spill! Who are you trying to impress with that expression! I am disgusted by you!" he roared."Mister Davidson…""Fuck off! You are nothing but Carson Baxter's hound! How could you still help this jerk after seeing what has happened? Are you blind? You…""Enough!"Just as they were arguing, a woman'
