Chapter 8

작가: Ivy Chamberlain
I couldn't stand seeing Catherine and Lilian look at me like that, so I threw my hands up in defeat. "Alright, alright. It really doesn't hurt."

With me easing the mood, the doctor visibly relaxed quite a bit.

After finishing his examination, he turned to Catherine and reported, "Mr. Foster is doing fine. The scrape on his hand is a bit severe, but I'll use the absolute best ointment to ensure it leaves no scar."

Catherine remained silent.

Only I knew that this quiet reserve was the calm bef

  • My Past Won't Leave Me Alone   Chapter 11

    Even though I could have rested at home, Catherine and Lilian insisted that I stay in the hospital. They even brought in a swarm of doctors to check my body over and over again.It wasn't until they confirmed I was in the absolute best shape possible that they finally allowed me to be discharged.As I was packing my luggage, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open. Since my back was turned, I assumed it was Lilian. "Lilian, bring my jacket over, please.""Alex, it's me."My hands packing the clothes froze.I turned to see Pearl, whom I hadn't seen in a while. She was dressed in a nurse's uniform, her face still heavily swollen."What are you doing here?"Pearl was pretty impressive to have managed to get past Catherine's bodyguards."Alex, don't be scared. I won't hurt you. I just…""Just what?" I asked, my tone laced with annoyance."I know you still love me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so forgiving toward me back then. Could you please forgive me and put in a

    The smell of disinfectant in the hospital stung my nose, prompting me to open my eyes.I looked down at the hospital gown I was wearing, feeling a bit dazed.My close friend, Edward Conrad, who was standing nearby, immediately rushed over as soon as he saw me awake. "Alex, you're finally awake! If you didn't wake up soon, those two little devils of yours were going to turn Bellmont upside down."I listened calmly.I wasn't worried about their safety. No one could ever hurt Catherine.Edward poured me a glass of water. "I've heard about everything that happened over the past few days. The fact that you managed to hold back under those circumstances shows just how much you've recovered over the years."In fact, it's almost an overcorrection! How could you tolerate all that? If it were me, they would have vanished from Bellmont the very first time they provoked me."I smiled softly.Edward was the most talented psychiatrist in Bellmont. Years ago, while serving time in prison, I

    Seeing that I was ignoring her, Pearl gripped her fists tight, her eyes burning with humiliated rage."Ms. Carter, I'm not lying to you! Alex is nothing but a calculating, freeloading leech! You really need to be careful with him. You can't trust a single word he says!"Do you have any idea what he did back then? Just to sell his paintings, he didn't hesitate to use his looks to seduce rich older women into buying his work!""Shut up!"To everyone's surprise, Lilian was the first to blow up."My daddy's paintings are priceless! He's a famous painter in Eldermere! I won't let you insult him like that! Do you have any idea how hideous you look right now? You're just like those disgusting men who try to climb into my mommy's bed! How gross!"Lilian shot Pearl a look of pure disgust, then pinched her nose. "To think Daddy actually risked everything for a person like you back then. I feel so sorry for him!"Pearl's chest heaved violently from sheer humiliation and anger.Richard, me

The scrape on his hand is a bit severe, but I'll use the absolute best ointment to ensure it leaves no scar."Catherine remained silent.Only I knew that this quiet reserve was the calm before her storm.As the main instigator behind all this, Pearl was sweating bullets.Who could have guessed that the ex-fiance she abandoned years ago had somehow turned into the husband of her boss?She desperately wanted to offer an explanation, yet watching the intimacy between Catherine and me stirred a flare of jealousy deep in her chest.That implicit sense of possessiveness shot up to its absolute peak right at this moment. Still, for the sake of the Moran family's future, she didn't da

  • My Past Won't Leave Me Alone   Chapter 7

    The handful of people who had gone to the airport with Pearl were shaking so violently they had to lean against tables for support.The "freeloading loser" they had spent the last few days mocking was actually Catherine's husband. I was the very VIP they had wasted hours waiting for at the airport.They hated themselves for not connecting the dots back then.But I had literally told them I was Catherine's husband at the airport. They just refused to believe me. Even though I looked identical to the photograph, they had still brushed it off.They deeply regretted what they'd done and wished they could disappear.Yet right as the entire room fell dead silent, a guy who clearly couldn't read the room strolled forward."Alex, where on earth did you hire these two actors? They're not bad. Want me to hook them up with an agency? They might even land a gig overseas. Showing up in some non-brand, bargain-bin outfit pretending to be Catherine? Man, you're killing me here."You're just a

    The emotionless little girl's face lit up with delight the moment she saw me, and she sprinted straight into my arms."Daddy, I've been a good girl these past few days. I've listened to Mommy and stayed out of trouble. Wait, why is there so much blood on your hand? Did you lose control of yourself again? Don't be scared. Mommy and I are right here with you."Acting like a little grown-up, she buried herself in my chest and gently patted my back, soothing the meltdown that had been threatening to erupt inside me.Daddy. That single word instantly pulled every pair of eyes in the room off the little girl and locked them onto me.The guests who had been coldly standing by, watching me get humiliated moments ago, all stared with wide eyes.I wiped the blood off my palm against my clothes, then reached out to pinch my daughter Lilian Foswick's cheek lovingly. "I'm fine, Lilian. You're such a big girl now, already taking care of Mommy."Heartbroken, Lilian pulled my hand close, gentl
