Chapter 106

작가: Tina Peach
Annoyed, Yvette snapped, "What else…"

Smack!

A loud slap sounded along the corridor.

Tyler whistled, impressed by the sudden turn of events.

Yvette stared wide-eyed in shock at Rachel. "How dare you slap me! Rachel, have you lost your mind? How could you slap me?'

Rachel ignored the rage and shock in Yvette's eyes. It had been so long since she had slapped someone, her hand was starting to tingle and go numb from the impact.

Shaking her hand, she said calmly, "So what? Did you forget that you slapped me earlier? Of course, I had to return the favor."

Yvette's eyes widened further.

Something snapped inside of her and she transformed into an aggressive shrew from the boonies, looking nothing like the heiress of a wealthy family she claimed to be. She started shrieking at the top of her lungs, the sound resembling that of a dying cat.

"What right do you have to slap me? Rachel, who the hell do you think you are? All you did was take my place as the fake heiress of the Lloyd fam

  • Countdown to My Divorce   Chapter 146

    Xavier had been prescribing medication for Tyler for years to treat his sleeping disorder. There was a period when it had become so frustrating that it had nearly broken him. He had even begun to doubt whether he was truly cut out to be a doctor. How could he not even fix a single case of insomnia?Over the years, he'd tried everything he could think of, including acupuncture, herbal remedies, dietary therapy, and even sound-based treatments like white noise. If it existed, he tried it. If it didn't, he invented it. But the results were minimal at best.As a doctor, if all his efforts had failed, he really couldn't imagine what else could possibly help Tyler fall asleep."You have to tell me, who did this? What exactly did they do to make you sleep that long?"He had to know.Someone had managed to put this chronic insomniac to sleep for six straight hours. That was practically a miracle. The best solution he'd ever come up with had only managed to keep Tyler asleep for a little

    At that moment, Rachel felt a surge of anger rise within her. Her cheeks were burning hot.Tyler, of course, looked at her with that irritatingly smug, provocative gaze "What? Do you want to hit me?"Rachel did want to hit him, but she was fully aware of the strength difference between men and women. She chickened out. "I wouldn't dare.""Then hurry up and sing. I'm trying to sleep." Tyler grabbed the blanket with one hand and pulled it over himself.Rachel recalled the children's song Tyler had hummed earlier.She looked up the lyrics on her phone, took a few minutes to get into the mood, and then began to sing softly."It's him, it's him, our friend, Torch. In the skies, he soars high. In the seas, he dives deep–"Rachel had no idea whether Tyler actually liked it or not, but she knew singing a children's song would be easier to stay on key. If she tried a pop song, it'd probably sound like a banshee screaming.After she finished the song, she noticed Tyler lying still on the

    Tyler's body stiffened for a moment. Then he casually tugged down the hem of his shirt with his other hand, covering the wounds on his lower back."It's nothing."Rachel frowned, and a sudden memory flashed through her mind. She recalled the time when Tyler had rammed his car into Howard's a few days ago. He had taken the hit for her.He'd basically vanished after that. She had tried messaging him, but he never replied properly. He only said he was busy and offered no explanations.She took a wild but probably accurate guess. "You beat up the Ziegler family, didn't you?"Tyler sounded a little defeated. "Being too smart isn't always a good thing." He turned around, rustling the sheets. His gaze landed on Rachel. "All right, tell me, how'd you figure it out?""Howard is the Ziegler family's only son. His father had him late in life, so naturally he's extra precious. The moment something happened to him, Gerald would've launched an investigation."Even if you're pretty well-kn

    Samantha's face went pale. She tilted her head up slightly. She seemed so fragile as if she would collapse into William's arms at any moment."William, I don't feel so good. Can you take me home?"William gave her a nod and turned to Rachel. "Rachel, I'll take her home first. How long will your IV drip take? I'll come back to get you later."Rachel politely declined. "You don't have to. Cecilia's coming to pick me up. She's been feeling down lately. I promised I'd keep her company."William studied her with a deep, unreadable gaze for a few seconds but didn't try to persuade her. "Suit yourself."He and Samantha turned to leave the ward. But just as they reached the door, William suddenly stopped and looked back at Noah."Dr. Trevor, if this is how your nurses behave, maybe your hospital doesn't need to be in business much longer."Noah jolted like he'd just been electrocuted. His posture snapped straight. "Please rest assured, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Hunt. Even if you hadn't said any

    William frowned instinctively at Tyler's words. He turned to look at him. "Do you understand sign language, Mr. Hunt?""I learned it back when I was volunteering abroad," Tyler replied. "So yeah, I understand it."The tail end of his sentence dripped with sarcasm. William picked up on it. His already grim expression darkened further.Even Rachel could feel the sting of humiliation in the air. It was as if someone had slapped William across the face in front of everyone.She had already understood what William was trying to do the moment he started signing at her. He didn't want to confront her with Tyler in the conversation, so he had tried to do it discreetly.But ever since Samantha joined the company, Rachel had noticed that William didn't bother using sign language with her as much anymore.Perhaps he didn't have the patience for it now.William turned his head slightly and said coldly, "If there's anything work-related you need to discuss, Mr. Hunt, you can bring it directl

    Her legs gave out, and she dropped to her knees. She clung pitifully to the leg of Tyler's pants."Mr. Hunt, I didn't know you were one of the hospital's major shareholders! If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to do something like this."Then she turned to Rachel, all the arrogance from earlier completely gone."You must be Mrs. Hunt, right? Mrs. Hunt, I am so, so sorry. I didn't mean it. I've just been going through a tough time lately. And work's been overwhelming, too. I swear, if things were normal, I'd never treat you that way."Rachel had never had anyone kneel in front of her like this before, and for a moment, she was too stunned to respond. "You don't need to do that. Besides, I'm not–""Mrs. Hunt! Hello!"A familiar voice was suddenly heard from the doorway.Rachel froze. William walked in with Samantha. She didn't even need to look at him to know just how furious was right now.She felt a chill down her spine.Samantha, on the other hand, looked completely unfaz
