로그인Early the next morning, Elena was at the hospital.Her daily routine was familiar, but her patients were always different.Sometimes, she wondered if she could save more lives if she were more skilled.The voice of a little girl interrupted her thoughts.“Miss...”Elena looked down and saw a little girl who was about four or five years old.Her mother was one of Elena’s patients.Elena bent down slightly and asked gently, “What is it?”The little girl answered softly, “My name is Karma Evermont. Mommy asked me to come and find you.”Elena nodded, then took Karma’s hand and led her to her mother’s room.Aurelia Evermont, Karma’s mother, welcomed Elena with a pale and exhausted expression.“Dr. Wright.”She then gestured toward Karma, who quickly ran to her side.Elena asked, “How are you feeling today? After a few more sessions of radiotherapy, we can schedule your surgery.”Brain tumors were common cases in neurosurgery.Before studying medicine, Elena had never encountered a patient
Adrian looked at her intently.“I’ve been thinking about it. You left and then suddenly came back. Do you really think I wouldn’t wonder why?”Adrian was not stupid. He knew there had to be a reason behind Alice’s sudden return.Alice felt frightened under his sharp gaze and quickly waved her hands.“How could that be? I don’t think so.”Adrian leaned slightly closer to her.“Really?”His closeness made Alice feel dizzy.Since the night she had conspired against Adrian, they had not been this close. She could hear her own heartbeat clearly.Perhaps because her mind went blank for a moment, Alice suddenly said, “Yes... I think you’re a little interested in me.”Adrian laughed, but there was something frightening about his laughter.Alice did not back away. Instead, she leaned closer and kissed him.The warmth of her lips caught him off guard, causing him to lose focus for a moment.His brief distraction encouraged Alice, and she reached out toward him as well.But Adrian quickly regain
Elena did not comment, but eventually asked about Alice.“I heard Alice didn’t leave with Daisy?”Adrian nodded with a smile.“Yes. I knew you’d ask about that.”Elena said honestly, “I’m genuinely curious. If I don’t ask, I’ll keep worrying.”Elena did not think very highly of Alice, as she felt that Alice was not a good match for Adrian. But if Adrian loved her, there would not be much Elena could do.That was what worried her, which was why she was eager to know the truth.Adrian continued eating while staring out the window, as though thinking about how to answer. Elena grew even more anxious.After a moment, he finally said, “Honestly, I think having a free maid around is a good thing. I’m not losing anything, so why would I refuse?”Elena frowned.“Adrian, you don’t need a free maid.”The reason sounded far too weak to her.Adrian added, “Besides, letting Alice leave so easily would be to her advantage. Keeping her here is a form of punishment.”Elena looked at him seriously.Ad
When Asher entered the Bennett residence, he saw Gareth charging toward him angrily.Gareth spoke with contempt, his eyes burning with hatred.“Asher, I know it was you.”Asher pretended not to understand.“What are you talking about? I have no idea what you mean.”Gareth stepped closer, his fists clenched and ready for a confrontation.“Don’t pretend you don’t know. You killed my father, didn’t you?”Asher raised his hands, trying to appear innocent.“You’re mistaken. Remember what I was doing when the incident happened? I nearly died because of you. How could you forget that?”Gareth hesitated.He knew Asher had not had enough time to kill his father, but he could not ignore Tristan’s words.Tristan was convinced that Asher was the killer, so Gareth had no choice but to believe his grandfather.Asher smiled mockingly.“Your grandfather must have told you something, didn’t he? Gareth, you’re still too naive.”He shook his head and looked at him almost sympathetically.Gareth was abou
After thinking it over carefully, Madeleine reached a clear conclusion.Conrad could not be Cedric’s killer. Even if he really was involved, Tristan would make sure to protect him.So, if it was not Conrad, it had to be Asher.Madeleine asked, “Mom, is it possible that Asher was the one who did it?”Isadora was surprised, then shook her head.“Impossible. He doesn’t have the ability to do that. Besides, I heard that Asher nearly died that day.”“What?”Madeleine was shocked once again.Ever since she had lost the ability to interfere in family affairs, she had also lost many of her sources of information. She knew nothing about this major incident.Seeing how curious Madeleine was, Isadora did not hesitate to tell her.“Yes. Gareth invited him to the opening of the horse ranch that day, and Asher accidentally fell off a cliff and nearly died.”She continued, “Your father believes it wasn’t an accident and that Gareth and Cedric deliberately tried to kill Asher.”Madeleine scoffed inwa
She asked him, “So, how did you find it? Does it taste good?”Asher replied, “Yes, it’s very good. No wonder you always like eating here.”Elena frowned, feeling a little guilty.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to reject you. I just haven’t made up my mind yet.”Asher smiled, understanding her hesitation.“I understand.”If he were in her position, he would probably hesitate too. After all, it was only natural for her to wonder whether she could trust the person in front of her.Elena wanted to say something, but when she looked at Asher, she could not get the words out.Asher smiled.“Don’t overthink it. Just follow your heart. I’m very confident in myself.”He believed Elena still had feelings for him, so he was not too worried.Elena nodded and continued eating quietly.At the Sterling residence, Madeleine was following the news about the Bennett family and noticed that reports about them were gradually disappearing from the internet.She could not help wondering what was really happenin
