Ol' Joe got out of the car quickly, set up the wheelchair, and carried Elijah onto the wheelchair. "Let's go." The man in the wheelchair smiled at her. "You lead the way." Sally led the way into the hospital. She was not quite sure how she should feel. They silently walked past the lobby. When they got into the elevator, Sally could not contain her curiosity anymore and turned to look at Elijah. "Grandpa Moses said that you're not fond of crowds and you don't like talking to strangers. Why do you insist on visiting my Grandma this time?" Before she met him, she had a hunch that the man was unemotional. Now that they met, she discovered that not only he was unemotional, but also aloof. He was not someone who would want to gossip with her extended family. "Because I'm curious." "What are you curious about?" The men turned his head and looked at her petite figure through the silk ribbon. "I wonder what's your family like, to raise a silly little girl like you." Sal
Elijah glared at them coldly. "I can forgive your transgressions today, because of Sally and her Grandma who's still in the resuscitation room. I won't be as kind the next time you decide to run your mouth." Sylvia grimaced in pain as Ol' Joe pinned her arm behind her. She gritted her teeth resentfully when she heard Elijah say that. However, Sharon stopped her before she could say anything. Sharon was a few years older than Sylvia and was more sensible. She could see that the clothes on Elijah's body and the black silk ribbon over his face were made of high-quality material. She could see from his noble demeanor that the man was an extraordinary individual. His words confirmed her guess. She pulled Sylvia back and gently shook her head. "I remember that Sylvia and I have something urgent to attend. We'll be leaving first!" Before Shawn could say anything, she dragged Sylvia and quickly left. "Sorry for the embarrassing scene, Mr. Moses." Shawn smiled sheepishly after
"I'm beginning to suspect your identity because of those words you said." That was not Elijah's prejudice against rural folk. He had many servants who were from rural villages, but they were all down-to-earth and had never said such pretentious words. Shawn was taken aback when Elijah said that. "I must have watched too many television dramas." "I hope so." The man in the wheelchair smirked. He turned around to look at Shawn's expression through the black silk ribbon. "I don't think it's anything surprising if you're not as mundane as I thought. "After all, a normal person wouldn't think of marrying his twenty-year-old adoptive daughter to a total stranger to save his mother." Shawn's face went pale. "I don't have any other choice. "I guess Sally was only unlucky." Shawn looked at Elijah. He wanted to say something but stopped. He sighed a long time later. "Mr. Moses, Sally is a good girl. I hope you can treat her well. "Even if you don't like her…. I hope that you
Shawn poked her forehead and said, "You're already married, and you ought to behave like a lady. See, you're sweaty all over." Sally laughed awkwardly and pointed at the bags of food in Shawn's hands. "You should eat it while it's hot." "Wipe your forehead, at least." Shawn shook his head helplessly and passed the food to Elijah. Sally rifled through her pockets and could not find a napkin. Just when she wanted to go to the washroom, a dark blue handkerchief appeared in front of her. A big hand with slender fingers was holding onto the handkerchief. "Thanks," she said as she reflexively took it. "You should know that we didn't send you away to buy breakfast because we were hungry." Sally heard a low, masculine voice as she was wiping her forehead. Her hands paused for a while. "That was only an excuse so that you won't overhear what we don't want you to hear." Sally's hands froze in place. She looked at Elijah with a complicated gaze. "That's why you don't have to
He shook his head and said, "I’m full."Sally Summers swirled what was left of the soy milk in the cup. Due to her frugal nature, she drank the remaining soy milk and ate the dumplings left by Elijah.She went to Shawn to collect his empty food container and threw them away together with hers.Just as she was done doing it, the door of the emergency room opened.The nurse pushed Grandma Summers out of the emergency room. The doctor took off his surgical mask and explained, "She’s fine for now, but I would recommend her to be on bed rest for some time."The doctor gave Shawn a meaningful look. "Her physical condition is not good. I hope that all of you, as her family member, would pay more attention to her. Don’t let her get upset again.”Shawn nodded and assured, "I understand."Sally frowned at the doctor's words.‘Was grandma upset about something again?When her grandmother found out that she was going to marry a handicapped person, she fell seriously ill.‘That was not to
As the best university in Koel City, more often than not, some students were stopped by their poor relatives asking them for money.However, Sally never thought that one day, Sylvia, an aunt who was not blood-related to her, would come to school to do the same."Let's go around the back door."When she saw Sally's shocked expression, Evonne sighed, "I figured that you would be caught off guard, so I came back to look for you.""Joan has already shared the photo on the forum. If you exit from the main entrance and got caught by your aunt, then everyone in school would know that you are the said pauper girl who is also a mistress!”Sally felt chills in her heart. Gossip is a fearful thing. Although she never felt that it was a shame to marry Elijah, she was accustomed to an average and peaceful life and did not want to be someone else's after-dinner conversation topic. Sally took a deep breath, tightened her grip on the phone in her hand, and said, "Let's take the back door th
Liam’s punks helped him to stand up. He pulled out the darts on his knees and looked around like a mad man. "Who did it!?""F*ck you, you nosy *sshole!"The dart in his hand was a small and exquisite blue dart.Sally frowned. She had seen this type of darts in Elijah’s drawer when she was tidying the bedside table in the morning.At that time, she had picked it up and wanted to ask him if the dart belonged to him, but then she thought to herself, ‘He is blind, he couldn’t even see me, his new wife. How could he see the target of the dart?’To avoid touching his sore spot, she did not ask him anything.However, why would this dart appear here? And it just happened to be shot into Liam's knee?"*sshole, come and face me!"Seeing that no one appeared from the overgrown bushes, Liam felt that the person who shot the darts at him must be a coward who only dared to hide in the dark, so his words became harsher and harsher."Don't f*cking hide in the dark and dare not come out, are y
After exchanging greetings, the group of people got into the car.Ol’ Joe was in charge of driving. Elijah, Sally, and Evonne were lined up in the back seat.It was so quiet in the car, one had to be careful when they were breathing.Sally looked at Blair through the back view mirror. The boy was still standing by the back entrance of the school. “Joe, you sure it’s okay to just leave him there?”Ol’ Joe continued driving calmly. “It’s fine. Blair has his means of transport. You don’t need to worry, Madam.”“Oh.”Sally nodded. She turned to glance at Elijah, who was reclining on the seat by her left. She was not sure if he had fallen asleep or not. She turned to her right, and there was Evonne, keeping silent. Evonne gave Sally a surreptitious wink and fished a pen and paper out from her bag.She scribbled on the paper and handed it to Sally.Sally frowned. On the paper was Evonne’s messy handwriting: ‘Didn’t you say that your husband’s only blind? Is he mute too?’Sally’s w
