“Her mom came over, so I’m going home first. I’m afraid Mrs. Wilson will worry if she can’t find me.” Sonnet saw the bloodstains on his sleeve. She nodded and said, “Alright, you can go back first. I’ll call a taxi for you…” “It’s alright, wifey. I asked Benson to fetch us over. I’ll go back in his car,” Maxwell immediately said. After a momentary pause, he asked, “Wifey, why are you in the hospital? Are you not feeling well?” Sonnet immediately came up with an excuse. “Oh, one of my friends got hospitalized. I came here to visit her.” Maxwell did not suspect anything either. “Shall I wait for you so we can go back together?” “It’s alright. I’ll chat with her for a while. I don’t know how long I’ll be staying here. You should go back and take a shower.” Maxwell nodded and let out an affirmative hum. He then left. Sonnet looked at his silhouette. She felt like something was off. However, she could not figure out what it was. She turned around and walked to the
“Mr. Scott, are you here to see the children?” Sonnet called after Logan.He nodded and said, “Are these the children that you previously mentioned?” Sonnet explained, “Yes, I wanted to bring them back, but Shay wouldn’t let them leave. That’s why they’re sleeping in Shay’s room. I’m so sorry. The next time…” “That’s good,” Logan interrupted her. “Shay has friends now,” he said in a comforted tone. Sonnet laughed out loud. Previously, she was worried that Logan would mind it if the children slept here. It seemed like everything was alright now. “The two children resemble you a lot. Are they your children?” Logan suddenly asked. “Oh, they aren’t my children. They are my cousin’s children.” Sonnet immediately waved her hands.She hid her relationship with the children from him as she did not want to create any more problems. Logan nodded and said, “It’s no wonder. It’s normal for children to look like their aunts.” After a momentary pause, he asked, “Are you sure abo
It was almost half past six. It was time for Sonnet to head back home. She poked her head out of the door and realized that Mr. Hoffman, Myles’s doctor, was still in his office. She thought that she was extremely lucky. She knocked on the door of Mr. Hoffman’s office and asked, “Mr. Hoffman, I heard that my dad was in a critical condition today afternoon. Is that so? Was his condition extremely severe?” Anson Hoffman smiled and replied, “This is a common condition among patients that receive chemotherapy. It’ll be alright as long as they are discovered and rescued in time.” “Will this always happen to my father?” Sonnet had a worried gaze in her eyes. Anson shook his head and said, “It happens occasionally. It won’t always happen. We’ll pay closer attention to his white blood cell count after this incident. If a significant reduction in his white blood cell count is detected, preventative measures will be taken in advance.” Sonnet stopped worrying after hearing what he sa
Jessie spent some time in the washroom before making her way back to Anson. She asked him, “Senior, why would you associate yourself with a woman like that?” Anson frowned slightly and asked, “What do you mean by that? She’s my patient’s daughter. We’re also friends.” After a momentary pause, he asked, “Do you know her?” Jessie chuckled and said, “I don’t really know her. Her father used to be hospitalized in our hospital. However, she had no choice but to transfer him to your hospital since she was involved in a relationship scandal with Mr. Stewart.” She then hooked arms with Anson and said, “Senior, you don’t know about this yet, right? She’s the mistress of Mason Stewart, the head of the oncology department! Mrs. Yale, the deputy director of our hospital, even slapped her in public over this incident!” She thought that Anson would definitely keep his distance from Sonnet if she told him this. However, Anson’s expression darkened as he said, “It isn’t appropriate for
Sonnet was momentarily stunned. She then asked, “Why is it no longer trending?” If someone had intentionally tried to expose her, how could they let the post stop trending so quickly? “That’s not it. The post has been removed!” Lindy emphasized. “I’ve scoured through all the websites online. I can no longer find that post anywhere on the internet!” Sonnet remained silent for a while before asking, “What do you think happened?” “I was just about to ask you. Did someone work on public relations for you? Was it someone from the Brooks family?” “No.” Sonnet was sure about this. The Brooks family wanted nothing more than for her to be involved in such a scandal. If she got exposed for being unfaithful to Maxwell, they could rightfully kick her out of the Brooks household and reclaim her monthly allowance from the family fund.“That means someone else did this.” Lindy seemed to think of something. She started gossiping, “Perhaps it was Young Master Gunn or Mr. Scott? They
Sonnet met Mason around the corner near the hospital.She told him, “If you don’t want me to leak that video of yours, go back and tell your wife to calm down and stop pulling this nonsense!“I’m warning you, my patience is limited. I’ll drag you down with me if you really tick me off! I don’t have anything to lose, anyway.”Mason was confused. “What nonsense?”“Wasn’t she behind that trending news?”“What trending news?” Mason asked.Sonnet thought he looked like he really did not know, so she briefly explained the news that went viral last night.Mason immediately lost it. “If she really was the one behind it, what would she gain from destroying her husband’s business?! It can’t be her!”Sonnet fell silent. On that, at least, she agreed with Mason.Mason looked down at her and said coldly, “You must have offended someone else! You keep seducing men left and right, so it could be one of your boyfriend’s wives!”“I’ll have my friend post your video right now,” Sonnet said dar
“I hope you’ll be kind enough to ask Jessie to visit her father every so often. He didn’t raise her, but she’s still his biological daughter. Blood is thicker than water, of course. I’m sure Dad will be happy to see her more often, and maybe he’ll recover faster.”Harold nodded. “Sure, I’ll remind her.”Perhaps Harold took her request to heart. That evening, just as Sonnet was leaving work, Jessie called her in a huff. “Let’s meet up!”Sonnet went to the park she mentioned. As soon as they met up, Jessie swung a slap at her face.Sonnet was ready for her, catching her by the wrist. “What are you doing, Jessie Cole?”“What am I doing? You’re the one who told Harold about our relationship, aren’t you?! How could you badmouth me behind my back, you shameless hussy?!” Jessie screamed at her.Sonnet tossed her hand aside. “I didn’t badmouth you. It’s a matter of time before he finds out that you’re Dad’s real daughter. You’ll have to tell him eventually if you want to date him, right?
That night after bathing, Maxwell came upstairs with supper. “Why are you upset, wifey? Did a monster bully you again?”Sonnet smiled at him. “No, I’m just a little tired lately.”“I know, that little monster must be acting up again!”“Which little monster?” Sonnet asked with a laugh.“The one at your workplace, of course.”He knew that Sonnet was working as some kid’s home tutor. “If that little monster is mean to you, bring it home. I learned how to take care of little monsters from watching Ultraman!”Sonnet laughed. “Are you saying you can take care of children?”As soon as she said that, an idea occurred to her. She looked at Maxwell’s bright smile blankly.Maxwell was practically a child himself. Could he maybe get along with Lune and Jaybie?Maybe… Maybe if she told him about her children, he could accept them, and then his family would allow her children would live with them.“I want to go to the hospital tomorrow,” Maxwell continued.“Huh? No, you can’t,” Sonnet turn
