LOGIN“I’m not one to act out of spite,” Christopher said leisurely, “but there is one thing you can forget about touching.”Jayden was a smart man and knew exactly what Christopher was referring to. “Are you talking about Amelia?”The air in the ward seemed to still.Christopher didn’t reply to Jayden’s question. He simply stared at Jayden, the look in his eyes calm.Jayden suddenly burst out laughing. “I see. I thought you really cared about nothing. You finally admit that you care for her.”Christopher scoffed, finding Jayden extremely hypocritical.There were some things that one didn’t need to admit or deny. They were carved into one’s bones and impossible to remove or cover up.Indeed, he couldn’t erase those traces left behind in his heart.Jayden stopped laughing and stood up, smoothing out his jacket. “Seems like you’re recovering pretty well. You still have the energy to argue with me over these things. Since you seem to know what you’re doing, I shan’t bother you from yo
Amelia no longer cared about Christopher. They no longer had anything to do with each other.-When Christopher woke up, he found himself in the hospital.The first thing that attacked his senses was the stinging smell of disinfectant in the air, which made him feel even more horrible.Christopher lifted a hand to rub his temples.“Nigel,” he said hoarsely.Nigel, who was taking a quick nap on the sofa bed, jumped awake. “You’re awake? How do you feel? Shall I call a doctor here?”“No need,” Christopher said as he glanced at the bedside table. “My laptop.”Nigel’s brows furrowed. “You barely woke up. The doctor said you must get some rest. As for work… Ms. Jessica said she really will wash her hands off you.”Jessica was furious this time, especially with a patient who refused to cooperate with her. Any doctor would feel deeply helpless.Christopher was her very first hurdle in her career thus far.“I told you to fetch my laptop,” Christopher said, cutting him off. His tone
“Where is this question of yours coming from?” Amelia asked Christopher.“I’ve warned you more than once not to humiliate Jayden and me like this.“You’ve been humiliating me like this ever since I asked for a divorce, looking down on both Evelyn and me. Yet now, you think you’re taking the initiative to get close to me while I’m rejecting you. You can’t understand why, so you think the reason is that I love your older brother?”“Christopher Zephyr, I’m busy at work right now. I don’t have time to fool around with you. I don’t want to talk about our personal affairs anymore.”Christopher looked on coldly as Amelia prattled on.“This is indeed not a good place for a chat. Come with me.”Everyone around them saw Christopher dragging Amelia away with him.Just then, Jayden stumbled in his footsteps, almost losing balance.Amelia didn’t want to go with Christopher in the first place. He was aggressive as usual and never took no for an answer.They had talked at great lengths to no
Meanwhile, Amelia was at the event, seated in the crowd listening to the presentations made onstage. Jayden was right next to her.Christopher’s face was cold when he saw them.The crew had assigned a seat to him and brought him there.Amelia was deeply engrossed in the presentation when she suddenly realized that someone was sitting down at the vacant seat next to her.The look on Jessica’s face changed when she saw the scene before her.Once again, Christopher chose not to take his medicine for this woman. Not for anything else, but for this woman right before him.Amelia was stunned when she realized that it was Christopher. She pretended not to see him and remained seated, not uttering a word.“You’ve always been close to Jayden. Now, you’re even attending events like this together.” His voice was hoarse, but he spoke in a leisurely tone.“Are you talking to me?” she asked. “Do I know another Amelia Sinclair?” Christopher asked.Amelia smirked but said nothing. When Jayd
Christopher didn’t answer her, but his coughing fit stopped.He put his hand down, the bright red blood on his palms making Jessica’s eyes widen with surprise.“When did this start happening?” Jessica’s voice was stern like never before.Christopher saw the blood stain on his palm and sat stunned, as though not realizing what it was.This was the second time it happened today.After a few seconds, he took his time to wipe his hands clean with some tissue before saying leisurely, as though he were talking about someone else. “It’s been a few days.”“A few days?!” Jessica’s voice went up a notch. “Christopher, are you crazy? Why didn’t you tell me the moment it happened?”She quickly checked his pulse, the look on her face darkening.“Go to the hospital right away for more detailed checks,” Jessica said as she kept her things in her medical kit. She wasn’t going to take no for an answer. “Professional precision equipment will assess your condition. The world will still go on ev
Jessica frowned.“Let him rest in the lounge and don’t let him work anymore.”Nigel pursed his lips and took a deep breath before nodding. He left with Jessica.“Is Mr. Zephyr alright?”Jessica shook her head. ‘I’ll have someone send my equipment here. I’ll conduct a full body check-up after he wakes up.”Nigel nodded.-In the lounge of the office, Christopher’s subconscious was still stuck in miry darkness. He could hear a woman’s voice ringing in his ear, imperceptibly tinged with concern.“Darling, don’t overwork yourself.”Christopher mustered up all the strength he could to open his eyes, but they felt like lead. The voice sounded again, so close this time that her warm breath brushed across his ear.“Your health is important.”It was Amelia.That realization sent an electric current coursing through his veins.Christopher’s eyelids flew open, but all he saw was the ever-familiar ceiling in his office.Yet another dream.He raised a hand and pressed down on his thr
"Mom, who is it?"Nathan walked out with a toy aeroplane in hand. His face fell the moment he saw that it was Amelia.He had to apologize to Evelyn earlier today, and was humiliated in front of his whole school! Was she here to laugh at him?"Get out!" Nathan shoved Amelia hard. "We don't welco
Their accusations sounded exceptionally piercing to Amelia.She couldn't deny that Nicole's academic qualifications and abilities were outstanding.Nicole's competence aside, Amelia had to see for herself that Nicole genuinely wanted to work here instead of trying to make a statement out of pride.
Nicole immediately spoke up for Nathan."Chris, we should be fair in dealing with children. We should identify who's in the right and who's in the wrong.""Did you hit her?" Christopher asked, looking straight into Nathan's eyes.His intimidating gaze sent a chill down Nathan's spine. His dad lik
Nicole turned to leave.Christopher was efficient as usual.The takeaway from Nightingale's Mist was delivered to Nova Nine's Technology department in less than half an hour. Everyone had a share of it.It was Nightingale's Mist, after all; one of Northon's most famous private kitchens.Everyone
