Sally narrowed her eyes, her hands tightly balled into fists.Evonne refused to back down. “Joan Lewis, the one who bumped into you was me. What are you going at Sally for?”Joan smiled coldly. “I’ll go at whoever I want to go at. Do I need a reason?”After saying this, coldness flashed in her eyes. “Not to mention what happened last time… Sally Summers, I still haven’t gotten you back for it!”Sally pressed her lips together. As for what happened last time, she had clearly been the victim. It was Joan who had put her on the forum and even purposely came to her to cause trouble.Now Joan actually wanted to get her back?She pressed her lips together. “Ms. Lewis, I don’t want to argue with you. How exactly do you want to settle this matter?”Evonne tugged Sally to her and started walking away. “She already slapped me. How else will it be settled? We’re even now!“And you, still wanting to reimburse her for her clothes… She’d definitely name a high number…”“You’re leaving just
He looked down, glancing at his calendar. This day had come again.He sighed. “Fine. I’ll go.”It was just picking someone up. After all, aside from interviewing that doctor downstairs, he did not have anything else to do today.After hanging up, Jameson went downstairs and had a simple conversation with Javier. After determining the job and salary, he dismissed Javier.By the time he reached the police station, it was already two in the afternoon.When the person in the police station heard he came to pick Sally up, he was instantly grateful. “You’ve finally come!“This Ms. Summers won’t admit she’s wrong and won’t apologize. She keeps **ing!”Jameson’s head swam instantly.He still remembered this girl’s stubbornness.Sally had been locked in the office at the end of the hallway.“Dr. Chinn?”Hearing the door open, Sally—who had been squatting in a corner—lifted her head.Deep tracks of blood still remained on her face, but her eyes were exceedingly clear.She stood up f
Sally refused to apologize to Joan.Jameson had to do some cajoling before Sally finally agreed to go take a look at Joan.The apology would be said by him.“Good heavens! Joan, your face!”Jameson walked to the office Joan was in, pulling Sally by the sleeve, where a middle-aged woman’s very exaggerated voice traveled from.“Let Mom see. You were bitten by someone?“Which reckless b*tch dared to treat my Joan this way!”Joan pounced into the woman’s embrace, crying, “Mom… You have to take revenge for me…”Last time, when Joan had humiliated Sally, she had been disciplined by Calvin, so now, Joan did not dare to tell Calvin that something had happened. She only called her mother, Ruth Chant, over.Jameson stood at the door, the vein on his forehead throbbing involuntarily.In this kind of situation, even if he dragged Sally over to apologize, nothing would be settled…However, if they did not apologize, the police would not let them go either.Just as Jameson was hesitating
He was humbled!“You’re here to bail Sally out?”Just as Jameson bemoaned this, Joan opened her mouth. “Who are you to Sally that you would come to bail her out?”Joan smiled coldly as she stared at Jameson as if she had noticed something impossible. “Doesn’t Sally have a husband? Why didn’t her blind husband come bail her out?“Or are you saying…”Joan’s gaze scanned Jameson thoroughly from top to bottom, left to right, and front to back. “You’re Sally’s other husband?”“You!”Sally gritted her teeth, her hands clenched tightly into fists.Jameson smiled coldly as he looked at Joan. “Miss, you shouldn’t run your mouth.”“What am I running my mouth off about?”Joan smiled coldly as she edged closer to Jameson and Sally. “No wonder you can still be all cheerful after marrying a blind man.“You have a side piece.“The blind guy is responsible for the money, and the side piece is responsible for the physical stuff. Sally Summers, I was wrong. You’re not some simple-minded coun
Although Sally and Jameson had not apologized to Joan in the end, the slap mark on Jameson’s face said it all.The police did not make things difficult for them anymore.Jameson signed off, then left with Sally.Just as the two of them stepped out of the police station, Evonne dashed up quickly. “Sally, are you okay?”“I’m fine.”Sally lifted her clean and innocent face, giving Evonne a bright smile. “I’m perfectly fine.”Saying this, she turned to glance at the mark on Jameson’s face. “He’s not perfectly fine.”Only then did Evonne notice the towering man Sally came out with.“This is….”“My Hubby’s family doctor, Dr. Chinn.”Sally introduced her with a cheery smile. “This is my close friend, Evonne Turner!”Jameson raised an eyebrow. “This is the friend who prepared andrology medicine for Elijah?”The smile on Evonne’s face instantly froze. “That… That’s me.”Jameson swung his car keys, smiling lightly as he walked toward the parking lot. “Speaking of that, this Ms. Turn
“Yes.”The man let out a long sigh. “When you get back later, don’t say anything. Go to bed early after your meal. He needs some quiet.”Sally was even more confused now. “Why?”“No reason.”Obviously, Jameson did not want to explain it to her.However, Sally was someone who loved to think of ways out of a dead end. When she was at school, she had once tormented her math teacher to tears because of a math question.Hence, with her usual inquisitiveness, she continued asking Jameson as she sat in the passenger seat. “Why?“Why won’t he be eating tonight?“Why can’t I say anything?“Why is today special?“Why can’t he eat if it’s a special day? He doesn’t menstruate.”Jameson was speechless. Did this woman swallow the One Hundred Thousand Whys? Finally, he was rendered helpless. He could only take a deep breath and reply, “Today is Elijah’s birthday.”Sally’s body stiffened slightly. “His birthday?”That was not right. When she and Elijah had gotten their license, she pu
Jameson’s hands tightened around the steering wheel.Subconsciously, he spotted Sally’s innocent and pure eyes in the rearview window.In the end, he bit his lip and turned the car around. “I know a cake shop.”The car turned snaked all around the place before finally stopping at the side of an alley in the Old Town area.Jameson pointed to an old sign that said “Little Swan Pastries” and said lightly, “Go on. His sister always bought cakes for him here.”“Mhm!”Sally nodded and got out of the car with her backpack on. Then, she ran quickly toward the cake shop.Leaning back against the driver’s seat, Jameson rolled down the window and lit a cigarette for himself.Through the smoke, he saw the girl in jeans and a white T-shirt open the cake shop’s worn-out door.It was as though he was watching her push open the heart Elijah had sealed for so long.A pleased smile spread across the man’s face.The butler was right. Sally was indeed good medicine for Elijah.This girl was so
8 pm.As per Sally’s request, the servants in the villa had all left.Even the security guards were not spared as only a scattered few remained on the grounds.Wearing a white lace princess dress, Sally took a deep breath and opened the door to Elijah’s study after knocking.The lights were not on in the study.Moonlight shone in through the window, giving off a cool vibe.At the study’s executive seat, Elijah was leaning back in his wheelchair.A black ribbon covered his eyes. Sally was not sure whether he was asleep or awake, so she could only carefully turn the lights on and walk in. “Hubby?”The man’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly.This entire afternoon, Elijah had heard five European financial groups’ reports, so at this moment, he was tiredly leaning on his wheelchair as he dozed off.Thirteen years ago, his closest older sister had perished in a sea of fire on this day. He forced himself to work hard to bear the burden of his guilt.Hence, when he established those conso
