In the end, these two babbled for a long time, but there was no real point."Dr. Greyson, I want to ask, what is his condition?"Carter flipped through the medical records in his hands and asked Jordan, "What will you do with this information? Didn't you two get a divorce? Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with you."Jordan quickly said, "It does. He got injured because of me. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be asking."Westley was rendered speechless.He saw the amusement that flickered in Carter's eyes.Such a feeling was hard to catch on Carter's face.Moreover, it flashed by so quickly.If it weren't for his sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed.‘Nosy bastard,’ thought Westley."If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out and stop acting mysterious." Westley had completely given up. "Even if you make my condition sound worse, I don't need my ex-wife to take care of me. Say whatever you want."The head nurse came looking for Carter, saying that the hos
The second reaction was, could Leanne really take care of him? She was probably just going to send him off on his way to hell.The third reaction was that this might actually be a good opportunity.They could start over from scratch.The fourth...There was no fourth.Westley said, "If it were anyone else, I'd save them too. Jordan, you're not special to me, don't overthink it. Since we're divorced, let's not drag things on. This is what you want, and actually, it's what I want too. Just leave, let's keep some dignity between us. If I have someone ask you to leave, it won't look good. After all, we were once married. Let's just do this for the sake of our grandfathers who are watching over us."Jordan felt her nose tingle, her emotions rising, and the tears were starting to gather.She really didn't like to cry.Especially during confrontations and arguments. It really made her lose her strength.But after holding it back for so long, the tears still fell."I'm not crying bec
"Well, Ross is sick."Forced to be sick, Ross was actually chiseling ice in the Arctic at that moment.Raymond was forced to accompany him.This was because Zachary was afraid Ross would cause trouble."You said that Mr. Collins wants to give Mrs. Collins an ice sculpture and wants to carve it himself, so he asked me to get ice for him. But this ice will melt by the time it reaches Jeswood, right? After all, summer is approaching."He had a brain, but not much of one.If Zachary wanted ice for a sculpture, he could have just frozen a batch in a storage unit.Making them go to the Arctic was purely a punishment.Unfortunately, Raymond had to suffer along with Ross.Raymond couldn't help but kick Ross. "Get to work! Mr. Collins is waiting for the ice!"Ross was happy chiseling ice, but without good food, he became unhappy again.Seeing him stop, Raymond urged him on.Ross simply tossed aside the iron chisel in his hand.Raymond, being a sensible person, immediately went to f
Carter didn’t seem to expect him to ask such a question."My examination results show that you didn’t injure your brain."Westley took a deep breath. "I mean, if I can't get up, how do I walk to the bathroom?"Carter glanced at the catheter and understood."It can be removed today. After that, you can handle things in bed, have a family member push you in a wheelchair, or call a caregiver. You have plenty of subordinates who can help you."Westley’s breathing grew heavier, clearly on the verge of losing his temper."Just hurry up and fix me!"Carter closed the medical record, clipped his pen back into his pocket, and said indifferently, "I can’t. You need my sister-in-law for that.""Then call her.""I can’t reach her. My brother made her mad again. I don’t know where she is, and she blocked me."Westley had every reason to suspect that Carter was messing with him."I’ve never done anything to wrong you, have I?"Carter shook his head. "No. But everything I’m saying is the
"Carter!"Westley finally lost his composure completely. "You’re really annoying. No wonder your sister doesn’t even want to acknowledge you."Carter was always cold-faced, but now, his expression grew even darker.The temperature in the ward seemed to drop several degrees.Jordan was so startled that she instinctively moved aside.Westley noticed, his gaze shifting to Carter, his expression also turning heavy."If you know where to strike, you should also know your limits."Carter turned and left without another word.Westley's eyes fell back on Jordan’s face, and his expression softened. "Did he scare you?"Jordan shook her head and sat down by the bedside.The nurse entered right after, removed the catheter, and gave Jordan some instructions.She memorized them carefully.Once the nurse left, she turned to Westley. "If something’s wrong, just tell me. Don’t let pride get in the way or feel ashamed about anything.""Just treat me like a caregiver."Westley’s Adam’s appl
She thought about it and realized that saying too much to Westley was meaningless.He was injured because of her, and she was taking care of him—doing what she should."I've made my stance clear. I won't leave, no matter what you say. If you think I'm not professional enough, I can hire a caregiver and assist them. I don’t want to say anything else. Just rest. If you don’t want to rest, then wait for Buck to return with the food."Westley’s thin lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.It wasn’t that he didn’t know what to say.Rather, he knew exactly what to say—but he couldn’t.Besides, with what she had already said, what was the point of saying anything more?"If you want to eat something, just tell Buck to buy it."But the next second, Jordan’s phone rang.It was a call from Jasmine.She answered, "What’s wrong?"Jasmine’s voice was filled with excitement. "Ms. Hickey, we’re going to Breckil! The monkey, the Saguinus—the Saguinus!"Jordan didn’t immed
The ward door slammed shut.From that moment on, their worlds were completely separated."Jordan."Jordan happened to run into Jane, who had just arrived at the hospital."Your eyes are red. Were you crying?"Jordan shook her head. "I’m fine, Sis. I cry easily when I get emotional—tear incontinence."Jane nodded. "Have you eaten yet? Let’s go get something to eat.""Something sweet—it’ll lift your mood."Jordan nodded again.Since Jane wasn’t there to see Westley anyway, she linked arms with Jordan and walked away.Zachary was rendered speechless.He wanted to follow but was immediately shot a glare by Jane.With a change in his steps, he walked into the ward instead."Jordy!"Westley thought Jordan had returned. The composure he usually carried was completely gone, and his voice was filled with obvious panic and nervousness.Even when he had relapses of his illness, Zachary had never seen him this vulnerable."You pissed her off so much that she left?"Westley turned
Jordan, concerned about Jane’s pregnancy, found a quiet restaurant for them to eat."Sorry, Jane, because of me, you almost got into trouble.""What does that have to do with you? Don’t be so polite with me all the time—we’re sisters."As Jane ordered her food, she added, "Your problems are my problems."Jordan was deeply moved.Sometimes, family bonds couldn’t be put into words.She and Jane hadn’t grown up together, yet when they met, everything just felt right. They clicked in every way.After their grandfather passed away and her love for Westley ended in failure, she thought she was destined to wander through life alone.But fortunately, fate hadn’t treated her too unfairly."Precisely because we’re real sisters, I’m afraid something might happen to you. I finally found my sister, and I want us to live to a hundred together."Jane flipped the menu and continued ordering. "We will. We’ll both live to a hundred. Now, pick what you want to eat."Jordan leaned in to look, f
Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."
"Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It
Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho
Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall
"If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren
Caleb truly couldn't interfere. In fact, he hadn't planned to get too involved in Blake's affairs.Occasionally, he could play the supporting role, and that was enough.He stepped aside to make way.Georgina immediately left.Whitney slowly blinked her eyes.Georgina was her idol, and she wanted to become someone like her.Someone who had confidence in everything she did, completely unafraid of offending anyone."Let's go." Millie patted Whitney's shoulder. "If someone didn't know any better, they'd think you had feelings for Georgina. Your husband's still around. If he gets jealous, he might just smash this place to the ground."Whitney did indeed like Georgina, but it wasn't that kind of like.It was admiration and respect.Just as she was about to say something, she met Caleb's cold gaze and changed her words."I'm just worried. Blake seems to be in a bad mood."Millie told her not to worry. "Everything has its match. It's just something between men and women.""And wit
The people at Yvonne's place were all professionally trained, and later, when Georgina married Lucifer, Lucifer had even placed several of his men here.Even though Lucifer and his eldest brother were practically inseparable, he still couldn't get any information from them."Mr. Caleb, it's been a while since I've seen you out having fun."He didn't plan to ask about the people he recognized either. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that his wife had left him to come here and have fun."Blake is here. I'm afraid he might do something stupid, so I came to check on him."Everyone who came to this place knew about the situation between Blake and Yvonne.The Hilton family was not one to be provoked, especially since Yvonne was very close to Lucifer's wife.Two major families—this wasn't something they could just casually comment on.In the past, there were some who tried to "save" Yvonne, but they never showed up again.Later, everyone figured that this might be a kind of g
"Mr. Blake, my relationship with you is merely that of an owner and a guest," she said. "You come, I entertain you, but you have no right to stick your nose into my business."She could wear whatever she wanted.Even if some people had ill intentions, that was their problem.What did her choice of clothes have to do with anything?Back when Caleb and the others came to play, in the summer, she wore even less, and no one had acted inappropriately.Anyone who wanted to act out inappropriately couldn't even step foot through this door anymore.Blake didn't know what she was thinking, but just looking at her attire, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.Silently, he put the coat back over her shoulders, and said gruffly, "It's cold."Caleb found the situation amusing but remained concerned about Whitney, so he didn't smile.At least he knew that with Mrs. Scholfield around, they wouldn't dare make a scene.Otherwise, Lucifer would turn this place into ruins.The tall building
“Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c
