Erickson's knees were aching. He found it annoying that he was going to be in this state for months.

"Be on alert. And how about the investigation I asked you to make? What are your results?"

His assistant was speechless. Did his boss think he was a robot? This past few days he had to cover office work, check on Old Man Blackwood who got discharged, and carry on the investigation he asked before his accident—he asked him to investigate the real track of his father's death. But the real fact he

    After Dr. Silvia left, Ava still felt a chill. Erickson noticed her odd character and uncomfortable look and asked, "Baby, what's wrong? Why do you look worried?" he asked, sitting up. After the massage and the injection, he felt a little more better.Ava shook her head. "It's nothing. I just feel a little tired," she said, trying to put on her usual bright smile."Come here, baby," he said.She sat beside him on the bed. He cupped her face with both hands. She wasn't running a temperature."You look fine, and your body temperature is just warm," he kissed her lips.Ava smiled. He may seem so cold, but he was such a sweet soul. "I'm fine. Come on, let's go see Old Blackwood.""Since when did you get so excited seeing the old man?" Erickson asked.Ava paused. She realized her excitement had been too obvious. "I am not excited. I am just happy today.""Alright, that can pass for an answer," he said.He pulled his wheelchair close. Ava couldn't stand the scene and helped him sit."You do

    Erickson was still in shock, actually trying to process the whole thing. Why were the people he loved most getting hurt? Although Wes seemed to be just an assistant in the eyes of others, Wes was more than that to him. He and Wes practically grew up together. He was Old Blackwood's butler's son.He didn't say a word, but Ava could read the emotion in his eyes. He managed to sit up, and she rubbed his back. Although she didn't spend much time with Wes, she could boldly say he was a good guy.She cautiously asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"Sincerely, Erickson had received so much blow today. It was a blessing he could withstand so much shock at the same time.Erickson needed to get to the hospital immediately. If anything happened to Wes, it felt like destroying his backbone. He needed to get there quickly and strengthen security. Nothing should happen to Wes.Trying to get out of bed, he suddenly remembered he couldn't use his legs but a wheelchair. He felt suddenly irritate

    After vomiting, Ava sighed in frustration. A realization struck her. She hadn't seen her period this month. Was it late? Or was it what she was thinking? Was she pregnant?She could be, because of all the sex she had with Erickson. She hadn't used protection. Remembering early days, she cursed that rogue with the possibility of pregnancy.She felt happy. This was one of Erickson's wishes. She decided she would get a pregnancy test tomorrow after coming back from Old Blackwood's house. Then she picked up the recorder Liam had given her and put it in the handbag she was going to carry tomorrow. She decided to take a nap. Erickson was in the study with Wes, so when she woke up, it would be dinner time and they could have dinner together.---ERICKSON'S STUDYWes brought out the documents he had printed from the investigation he was asked to make and handed them over to Erickson.After going through the file, Erickson smashed the glass of water on the floor. He wanted to stand up, but cou

    Ava helped Erickson into the car with Anthony's help. They got into the car. Erickson wound down the window because he knew Anthony wanted to say something."Man, be careful with Richard. Haven't you compiled enough evidence to take him down? An attempt on your life was going too far."Erickson spoke calmly. He was feeling a little dizzy. "Richard wasn't behind the accident. It was someone else, and Wes hasn't found out who. Back then, Richard was abroad, and my people were monitoring him for any crazy move. But he didn't.""Then who could be behind your accident? Or is there a mole around you?" Anthony asked, still finding the whole thing strange."There is no mole. But I have a rough guess. Just that it hasn't been confirmed.""Alright, Anthony." He knew if he asked further, Erickson wouldn't give him an answer. He could feel the chill emanating from him. "Alright, I will let you go.""Sister-in-law, take good care of him. And when he's being unbearable, just try and manage."Ava no

This past few days he had to cover office work, check on Old Man Blackwood who got discharged, and carry on the investigation he asked before his accident—he asked him to investigate the real track of his father's death. But the real fact he couldn't tell his boss was that he just hit a dead end. His father doesn't exist, which didn't make sense telling Erickson."Apologies, boss. I'm on the investigation.""Seems you are getting too comfortable."His heart skipped a bit. His boss shouldn't dock his pay because he was planning to get married this year."Just get out."As his assistant opened the door, Ava walked into the room. His assistant nodded. "Mrs. Blackwood."Ava nodded and ran into the ward. She hugged Erickson, who didn't c

    After Liam managed to stabilize Ava, he helped her sit. One thing he hated most about his sister was her inability to control her emotions, which sometimes got him very annoyed. But in her current state, he couldn't bring himself to scold her. If he did, it would become an emotional blackmail drama for him."I will be right back," he said, walking towards Anthony's office.When he entered the office, which was his first time, it was luxurious and decorated to taste. On the table, a portrait photo of Anthony and Erickson sat. It seemed to look like they had just graduated from college.Did Erickson study medicine? Liam wondered to himself.Anthony's head was placed on the table. Liam couldn't tell if he was crying or just feeling down. But seeing the picture which sat on his table, he could tell how close the two of them were.As Liam pulled the table aside to sit down, Anthony raised his head. He looked at Liam and suddenly got speechless. Although Anthony was a medical doctor, he had
