Jane did not have any patients at the moment, so she held the phone by clamping it between her ear and shoulder while filing her nails. She said, “I can’t simply reveal the patient’s details to you. It’s against my moral code. Anyway, I’m busy. Talk to you later.”

On the other end, Joe looked at his phone blankly after his sister hung up on him. He was also in a foul mood.

As his sister, Jane barely did anything for her little brother other than giving him constant trouble. However, Joe was a bright man, so he was able to pick up some clues from her words despite the conversation being cut short.

She had said “patient”. Jane was a gynecologist, so her patients could only be women.

Joe used the limited clues and related them to a ton of other matters. Then, he discarded all the unlikely possibilities and started to piece what was left in his mind together. In the end, he came up with a single conclusion: Mrs. Ferguson.

After all, his boss was quite okay with other women except

    She thought this would be the chance for her to approach Blake and win his heart. After all, she ought to make him notice her strengths. While Kim was having a little drama of her own in her mind, Blake was still frustrated about the Spanish project, thus he did not even notice her expression. Tourism was a new field that the Ferguson Corporation had ventured into a few years back. In two years, the company made its way into the North American market, but it was far from enough. Tourism was the hottest pie in the block and the Ferguson Corporation could not afford to be slower than its competitors, only faster. It ought to occupy the market as soon as possible and monopolize it. He grunted, “Hmm, give it to me.” Kim smiled and walked closer to Blake with the documents. She opened the documents in front of him while subtly making her way to his side. While he was looking at the documents, she made sure he was close enough to smell her perfume and notice her voluptuous body.

    Blake came home a little late today. After dinner, Jessica was playing flashcards with Winson in the living room. In the past, whenever he had to work overtime or engage in social activities, he would give her a call or at least a text. However, ever since they argued, he only informed Ms. Susan. Every time Jessica pointed at the picture on the card, Winson was able to accurately say the name and even spell it in English. Jessica and Blake were still not talking, so when he put two big baskets beside her, she was shocked. She looked up at him in confusion. “Gifts from a client. If you find a use for them, take them. Otherwise, just give them to someone else.” Blake then sat down on the couch and removed his tie. His face had exhaustion smeared all over it. Jessica unwrapped one of the baskets. Winson was also interested, so he crawled into her lap and his petite hands reached out for the basket. “What is that? I want.” The delicate packaging was opened, and inside the b

    “Come here,” Blake commanded. Jessica was surprised, but she stood up. While she was walking to him, he switched off the iPad and tapped on the bed beside him.“Sit.” When she sat down beside him, he lay down on her lap and closed his eyes. He said softly, “Give me a massage.” He was always like this whenever he had a headache. He was like a tiger having a toothache. While he might be fierce, he could barely bite, which made him look pitiful. Jessica did as she was told and massaged him. His hair was still damp after the shower, so she took her hairdryer out from the drawer and dried it for him. As her slender fingers were moving swiftly across his black hair, the smell of aftershave and shampoo tickled her nose. After massaging him for a while, he suddenly grabbed her by the wrist. Jessica looked down at him and he said, “Are you done being mad?” Jessica looked down at him. Two pairs of black eyes stared at each other while her heart was pounding fiercely. ‘Mad? Don’t

    “Ms. Jackson, your tea.” A secretary walked in, delivering Kim a cup of freshly brewed tea. “Thank you.” Kim smiled and reached out to the cup. When the bracelet slipped down her fair forearm, the silver dazzled under the light. The secretary noticed the bracelet and she exclaimed in envy, “Wow, what a beautiful bracelet!” As Kim glanced at her bracelet, she tried her best to hold her delight back while beaming gently. “I like it too.” The secretary praised her bracelet again before she went back to work. After she left, Kim curled her lips into a smirk. She had a sip of tea and then sized up the bracelet on her wrist, looking even happier than before. When she put the cup of tea down and softly touched the emerald charm on it, her smile became even sweeter. ‘Tiffany and Co.’s latest design! It seems like he’s paying attention.’ Joe came into the lounge and saw Kim admiring the bracelet on her wrist. His face twitched at the sight of her infatuated look. He had heard th

    Kim mastered several types of language, so she was able to communicate with the Spanish consul fluently during the Mid-Autumn Gala. She even came up with a decent proposal for the project. At least, she was a lot better than the lousy project director. However, as Blake’s right-hand man, Joe knew what he should do and what he should not do. He said, “I think I’ll pass. We all know how capable you are, Ms. Jackson. Anyway, I still have some work to do, so please have a seat.” Kim was slightly disappointed, but she maintained her smile. “Okay, sorry for bothering you.” Joe turned around and subtly grinned. ‘Hmph, Kim Jackson, your impatience makes you really ugly. Do you know that? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. If Mr. Ferguson knows how free you are, I wonder if he’ll still be this patient with you.’ After he left, Kim’s smile faded. She was a smart person, so of course, she understood Joe’s hint for her to leave. Joe might have been Blake’s assistant in name, but h

    ‘Is he worried about me?’ Blake finished reading the documents in a few flips. When he looked up at Kim, his expression looked colder than before as he said, “You did this during your free time?” Kim was surprised because she did not know what could have happened. Confused, she responded, “Huh?” “If I remember correctly, your job is to tutor Winson, but someone from the secretary table told me that you’ve been waiting in the lounge for over two hours. I thought I asked you to make a choice before this.” “I…” Kim flushed and paused for a moment. “I heard that the project is facing some problems, so I thought I could lend a helping hand.” “There are more than a hundred men and women working under me. I didn’t hire all of them to do nothing. Do you know that you are stealing their jobs? If you want their job, what about your current one? Do you still want to keep your current job?!” Kim had never seen Blake this angry before, so she was frightened, and she stammered, “I...I-I

    If the project was a person, the proposal would be the soul without a vessel. Therefore, it could not give life. Things that could really stir up the tourists’ interest and the urge to travel to Spain should be something more real and convincing, something that tourists could see and something that would make them feel it was worth their money. Blake nodded without expressing his thoughts. Joe’s opinion was exactly what he thought. He turned his monitor to Joe and said, “Take a look at this.” Curious, Joe had a look at the monitor and his eyes shone brightly. “Mr. Ferguson! This is great! Are you trying to…?” Immediately, he knew what Blake was trying to do. On the monitor was a travel vlogger’s Weibo page, and on it were all kinds of beautiful sceneries, food, and passionate locals of Spain. The locations the vlogger visited were not the usual tourist spots that all the other travel companies advertised. Instead, they were more exciting, adventurous, and romantic. These unus

    Blake realized he had gone too far. He cleared his throat and looked around his office awkwardly. Fortunately, he was alone in the office after Joe left, so no one knew that the fierce and mighty CEO of the company was having naughty thoughts about his wife. Blake closed the Weibo page and continued his work. Although he might appear to be typing furiously on his keyboard, his mind was still lingering on Jessica’s body. ‘Why am I wasting my thoughts on that woman?’ On the other hand, the confident Kim never would have thought that the proposal she delivered would get her scolded by Blake and even put her current job at risk. At night, Blake arrived home just in time for dinner. Jessica had her apron on and was taking a dish out from the kitchen. Since she had gotten off work earlier today, she made dinner. Blake glanced over the dishes on the table and found that they looked somewhat familiar. Another quick glance later, he finally remembered. They were the dishes the food

    Jessica opened her mouth first, and everyone also followed to congratulate them.

    This was his daughter, who had half of his blood on him. It was said that the daughter was like her father, and this child would look more and more like him in the future.This was his work.Mo Feitong was very satisfied with the person he created. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. When he held her in his arms and looked at her, he laughed foolishly."Blue carp, look at you. You knead the mud every day. It's better for me to make it for you."Lan Li saw someone coming from the corner of her eye. She secretly stepped on him and whispered, "Shut up!"Blake came over with Jessica and said with a smile, "I heard it. I hope this child will grow up and not be as thick-skinned as you."He looked at the baby. Half a year had passed, and the little girl was growing up to be white and tender, more and more beautiful.Blake said to Lan Li, "It's better to act like you."Mo Feitong glared at him. "Are you looking for trouble?" He glanced at Jessica's belly and said, "Kid, i

    "What if you add his surname?""Mo, Mo, Mo Xiao?" Jane came to her senses and tried hard to hold back her laughter.Indeed, such a good name, coupled with Mo Feitong's surname, had no meaning of blessing at all. No wonder Lan Li disliked it."Even now, the two of them are still arguing over names. Old Mr. Mo is urging to them register. Alas, the baby's completion of its first month of life dinner is about to start, and the name on the invitation card is still empty..."Jane smiled and listened to him.In the past three years, they had no contacts with phone, app, or emails, not even a letter on paper.However, after three years, they didn't seem to have been separated for a long time at all. It seemed more like they had returned to the days when they were together before.Calm, occasionally look at other people's lives, and talk about themself."I think it's a good name. We can use it on our daughter in the future. So can our son."This was the first time that Pei Xian realize

    At the last moment, Pei Xian gave up. Wasn't she resentful?As everyone's faces lit up, Jane's lips twitched. "I can only thank him."She saw him putting on the ring to Yan Ling and could understand him. She could only thank him for agreeing to marry Yan Ling at that time.Putting aside the fact that he didn't have time to think about it at that time, it was the last request of a dying person and her last hope.It was she, Jane, who owed Yan Ling. In this life, she couldn't repay it, and she couldn't give the Yans a good daughter.She should have been standing on the stage full of light, but she disappeared like fireworks in the blink of an eye.Although Pei Xian didn't say anything, Jane understood him the most.He took pity on Yan Ling, thanked Yan Ling, and also helped her to return the favor.Before Yan Ling died, she was accompanied by the person she loved.

    If she had not been born, as long as she took the blame for feticide, those people would have been able to live well.They would not know each other. If they did not know each other, they would have a different life.Jane fixed her eyes on Lian Liang and unconsciously tightened her grip, as if she wanted to crush her shoulder.Lian Liang looked at Jane's ferocious face and was so scared that she forgot to cry. She sobbed again and again and didn't dare to cry out because of the pain in her shoulder. She just frowned tightly.They looked at each other for a long time as if they were confronting each other.Jane's throat was stuck. After a long time, her face softened and tears trickled down from her eyes. With difficulty, she said, "But so many people... because of you, because of me, they lost their lives... only the two of us have to bear all of this... ... we have no reason to cry. We have no right to blame anyone...""There is nowhere for us to retreat to..."Jane felt a fire

    The ward was empty. There was only his voice, and no one responded to him.Glancing at Jane, Zhang Yeting knew that he had finished what he wanted to say, so he turned around and walked towards the door.His trip to the United States this time was actually to convince Zuo Yiming to write his will first, but he didn't expect that...At this time, Joe stopped him and said, "You'll report the truth to that person, won't you?"Joe picked up the document, walked up to Zhang Yeting, and said, "Tell him that Lian Liang has been killed by Zheng Zai. His last heir is gone."Zuo Yiming yearned for someone to inherit the kingdom, and in the end was told that there was no one to do so. It was the greatest blow to him and also the greatest irony."The sins of the Zuos can't be redeemed even in hell!"..."Joe, the girl is crying again. We, we can't handle her anymore!"Father Qiao called Joe out with a panicked look on his face.Lian Liang's so-called grandparents were just strangers in f

    She had worn a wedding dress and married him...Pei Xian's eyes burned. He clutched her hand tightly and swallowed it slightly. He nodded. "Alright."Pei Xian asked Lin Feiran to go buy a diamond ring immediately. Jiang Shu hurriedly took out the ring from her bag and said, "No need. There's one here."Pei Xian had bought the diamond ring at a jewelry shop. Yan Ling had said that the engagement would be canceled, but she was reluctant to throw it away and had been carrying it with her all the time.Pei Xian took the ring and slowly put it on her finger with trembling hands.Yan Ling's fingers were red and swollen. After wearing the ring for a long time, she was satisfied. She looked at Pei Xian with her eyes shining, and a teardrop fell from the corner of her eye.Outside the ward, Jane watched blankly as Pei Xian put the ring on Yan Ling's finger and saw her trying her best to put on a happy smile.The doctor's regretful words kept echoing in her mind: "Miss Yan's injury is so

    Zheng Zai's car exploded. He was severely injured, his spleen ruptured, and his back was seriously burned. He was temporarily sent to the intensive care unit. Whether he could survive the 24 hours or not depended on his luck.Yan Ling's situation was similar to Zheng Zai's, and she was in a critical situation.In comparison, Lian Liang's situation was the best, but she had a fracture and a concussion.The dark clouds covering the sky finally came down.Jane had no idea how she came to the morgue to take the last look at the couple.She fell to her knees with a plop, but there were no tears in her eyes at all.She gazed at the corpse covered in white cloth and did not dare lift it.Joe walked up to her slowly, lifted the cloth, and took a look. He closed his eyes and covered the white cloth with a solemn expression.Jane's stomach twisted, but she couldn't spit it out. Her stiff body was out of control, and she had to rely on Joe's support.When she stood up, her last bit of st

    Blake frowned. They had already returned to Shujinyuan. How could there be a car accident?However, the location of the incident wasn't far from Shujinyuan, which meant that the Lians wouldn't be coming out until they arrived at Shujinyuan."Mr. Ferguson, you seem to know something. Who is Zheng Zai? Why did he hold the little girl hostage?"The police kept asking. Blake looked calm and said, "Captain Li, the situation is chaotic now. We'll investigate after the operations are over. What do you think?"The police looked around. There were nurses coming in and out, and someone was stopping the media from coming in for an interview. It was indeed chaotic, so they agreed.Blake gave Pei Xian a look. The two of them walked to a quiet corner, and Joe also came over.Blake asked, "Is Zheng Zai from Zhang Yeting's side?""He was behind this?"Joe pursed his lips and frowned. Jane had been worried that the other party would take advantage of the chaos to harm the child, but no one had
