The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincyโs skin. Intense pain came, but he did not seem to feel a thing as he continued pushing. Suddenly, a large, strong, and dry hand took hold of him. Quincy frowned as he tried to continue forcing the knife in, but he could not exert any more strength. Elijahโs cold voice rang beside his ear. โDo you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?โ โHave you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?โ Stunned, Quincy turned instinctively to look at Freya. The woman was sobbing controllably. As she gazed tearfully at him, it seemed that she had multiple things she wanted to say but could not find the words. Tears flowed once more from Quincyโs eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. โItโs my fault.โ โItโs all my fault!โ โFreyaโฆ I canโt live without you.โ โI cannotโฆ Iโฆโ Freya could not stop herself from wr
โIn your dreams!โ Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. โI wouldnโt want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!โ The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. โYouโre going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?โ โYou planted your seed in my stomach.โ Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. โSo, what do you want?โ โLetโs meet up.โ Queenie yawned. โCan you pick a place?โ โThereโs a cafe nearby the hospital.โ Quincy sighed. โI donโt have much time for you, so donโt try talking nonsense after we meet.โโWhat a man you are, trying to ghost someone after youโve slept with them.โ The woman shrugged nonchalantly. โAlright. You can wait for me. Iโll be there soon.โ She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. โWhy do you want me to meet her?โ โYouโve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.โ โThis time, Quincy, youโre the bait.
The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, โYou areโฆโ โIโm the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.โ She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the womanโs face turned increasingly paler. โYou have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.โ โWe just met the other day.โ She shook her head as she spoke. โIt makes sense, though. Itโs only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.โ โForgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you donโt have many days left.โ โWhen youโre gone, heโs going to leave his daughter and marry me.โ The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, โImpossibleโฆ Thatโs impossibleโฆโ โQuincy, heโฆโ โNothing is impossible.โ Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the womanโs face. โLook, Iโm pregnant.โ โHow could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences donโt exi
โIf you destroy everything I have, then Iโll destroy everything you have!โ Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, โIf it werenโt for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!โ โItโs all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. Iโve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!โ โSally Summers, itโs all your fault! Everything is because of you!โ โI wonโt forgive you even if I become a ghost!โ โAlright then, go be a ghost!โ Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenieโs chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. โElijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!โ โIf you canโt choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!โ โYour sister is just one part of my plan!โ โYou probably donโt know this yet.โ Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir
โโโโOne year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A Cityโs grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. โWhen I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.โ โHowever, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.โ โWho would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freyaโs younger brother. As per her wishes, Iโll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.โ Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. โMy beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.โ Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp
โUmโฆ Should I undress and get on the bed, orโฆ Should I help you undress first?โWrapped in a bath towel, Sally Summers cautiously asked as she stood at the bathroom entrance.Tonight was her wedding night. Further away from her, a man with a black silk ribbon over his eyes sat in a wheelchair. He would be her husband from now on. It was her first time seeing him. Admittedly, he looked better than his photos. The man had angular facial features, a sharp and high nose bridge, densely dark eyebrows, a tall and slender stature. He was the physical embodiment of her Prince Charming. Unfortunately, he was a blind man who was confined in a wheelchair. Some said that Elijah Moses was born a bringer of misfortune. At nine years old, he jinxed his parentsโ death; at thirteen years old, his elder sister died. After he became an adult, he brought misfortune in the form of death to his three fiancรฉes. When Sally first heard about these rumors, she was scared too. However, her
Sally was confused. โWould you be able to wash if I leave?โ He was blind, would he be able to see anything? The man did not say anything.Yet, the air temperature between them fell a few degrees lower. It seemed like she had finally noticed his anger. Thus, Sally timidly picked up the bath towel and left. โBe careful! Call me if you need anything!โ Sally could not stop fidgeting after leaving the bathroom. Her eyes kept darting back in the direction of the bathroom. The bathroom was a slippery place. What if he slipped and fell? What if he was unlucky enough to die from that fall? She just got married. She did not want to become a widow that quickly. As she was feeling uneasy and anxious, her phone rang. It was her bestie, Evonne Turner, who had sent her a video. The video came with a tag that said โLearning Materials!โ Learning Materials? Sally opened the message while grumbling internally about how it was still way too early for their finals. Why
After saying that, Sally turned around to head back into the kitchen. The two servants hurriedly stopped her. โThereโs no need, Madam.โ They were employed to cook breakfast in the Moses house every day. If Sally did everything they were supposed to do, and Mr. Moses was to find out about it, would that not mean losing their job? โMadam.โ One of the servants started talking in a dissatisfied tone, โAunt Leigh and I are in charge of breakfast here. With all due respect, youโve just arrived here and a stranger to Mr. Mosesโ eating habits. Please refrain from messing things up.โ The other servant went along immediately. โThatโs right. Aunt Zelda is right. Please refrain from cooking, Madam.โ โMr. Moses would not eat breakfast like this.โ Aunt Zelda looked at the boring and tasteless breakfast made by Sally in contempt. โA person like Mr. Moses has always had milk, ham, and sandwiches for breakfast. Madam, donโt you think that the porridge and pickled vegetables that you pr

After Freya was hospitalized, Quincy canceled all his work plans and spent all his time in the hospital watching over her. Although she never let him in, and although he could only ever gaze at her through the window from afar. However, he insisted on not taking even a step away from her ward. He stood guard there stubbornly, and no one could talk any sense into him. Both Elijah and Thomas could not bring themselves to chide or drive Quincy away when he acted this way. And thus, Freya finally agreed to meet him on the seventh day. The womanโs face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincyโs eyes when he saw what his beloved looked like from a close distance. It was all his fault. It was all his fault! He had caused her to end up this way! All because of him!โIs there anything you would like to say?โ Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have
Sallyโs lips pursed themselves together when Freyaโs name was mentioned. She would admit that she had had a horrible first impression of Freya when they first met. The woman had stripped nearly twenty years of Zoeyโs life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sallyโs mother during her and Elijahโs wedding. However, times had changed, and five years had passed since then. Sally could not bring herself to be cruel toward Freya, who now showed complete remorse. Additionally, she had treated Sam and Little Sarah with genuine kindness lately. Sally had begun to think of her as family. Yet, now, something like this happened. She sighed. โFreyaโฆโ โFreya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.โ Freyaโs illness was in her heart. The sort of illness she had made it so that she could not be made angry, excited, or frantic. If not, not e
Evonne and Sally were slurping instant noodles when Elijah and Thomas arrived at the doctorโs on-call room. They were starving and had virtually no energy left. The only thing in the room they could use to fill their stomachs was instant noodles. When the door opened, Elijah frowned slightly when he saw his petite wife steadily making her way through a pack of instant noodles. The man strode over and grabbed her bowl. โUnhealthy stuff.โ Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. โI donโt care if itโs not nutritious! Iโm hungryโฆ Hubby?โ The emotions in the womanโs eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijahโs neck and jumped into his arms. โYouโre back!โ โI missed you so much!โ He had been on his ocean trip for more than half a month. They had never been separated for so long since getting back together. The signal on the sea was spotty, and she could never
When Sally finished suturing the last ruptured blood vessel in Freyaโs heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. โItโs steady! The patientโs heartbeat is steady again!โ The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it werenโt for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! โDr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!โ โOf course.โ A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, โHow did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?โ The young nurseโs mouth widened in surprise. โIn that caseโฆ why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?โ The senior doctor sighed. โI guess they have their reasonsโฆโ In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. โDr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?โ Sa
