In the spacious corridor of the hospital, the sound of high heels hitting the marble floor was crisp and clear. Avery Foster tied her black hair to the back of her head and wore her medical gown. The stethoscope hanging from her neck emitted a cold, metallic luster."Doctor Foster, all three operations are scheduled for the afternoon. There will be an academic exchange at 6 PM …" The intern followed closely behind her, methodically explaining the schedule for the day."Doctor Foster, the emergency department just sent a patient over. She bled a lot, so you should quickly go take a look," said the young nurse, hurriedly as she ran in."Yes." Avery nodded and quickly walked toward the emergency room.Lying on the bed was a pale-faced woman with disheveled hair. She was crying out in pain.Beside the sickbed, the man's handmade suit tailored to fit him was wrinkled and dyed bright red, without a trace of embarrassment. He stood there with a calm and composed expression. The outline of hi
Dina was also angry, she threw the test tube in her hand back into the treatment box, "Fine, let me be nosy." With that, she slammed the door and left.Avery's body fell against the hard door, her palms covering her eyes, tears continuously flowing out from the gaps of her fingers.How could the pure Dina understand? If she did that, she would only be bringing about her humiliation. Her wounds were already bleeding profusely, why would she even need to sprinkle salt on them?She’s hurting. She was not as strong as she had imagined.With her condition, there was no way for her to operate, so she took sick leave and returned home early.Her home was a garden house located halfway up the mountain. To be more precise, it was not a home, but a house that Blake bought for her.Her slender body was nestled in the window, quietly gazing at the scenery of the garden. There were no flowers in her garden, only large patches of golden plane trees.She remembers the first time she stood here, poin
"What's wrong?" A deep male voice came from the top of her head. There was a hint of impatience in its tone. It was obvious that he had been woken up.Blake frowned as he looked at the mess on the ground. Fresh blood was dripping down the white marble floor. Avery was curled up on the ground, looking pitiful. “Injured?” he asked."None of your business." Her tone was somewhat sharp.He suddenly snorted, his palm plastered against her round chin, not allowing her to avoid his gaze.Avery’s eyes were filled with tears. She was bright and beautiful to the point that it made one's heart palpitate."Tell me, what are you crying for?" He narrowed his eyes, his breath warm on her pale cheeks."My hand hurts." She bit her lips and continued avoiding his sight. Blake’s profound eyes penetrated the depths of human nature, and it even made her feel a little afraid.She pushed him away and stumbled into the kitchen. After rummaging through the cabinets, she finally found the medicine box. She sat
Without making any arrangements for the operation, Avery stayed in the office for the whole afternoon. Unknowingly, it had already started getting dark outside the window.She suddenly remembered that Blake asked her to accompany him to the banquet. She hurriedly stood up, and her vision suddenly turned black. After staggering for a few steps, she managed to stabilize herself.She ignored breakfast. She didn't even eat lunch. Her head felt heavy, her stomach throbbed, and so did her heart. She took out her phone and called Blake.The phone rang many times before answering. A familiar, low, magnetic voice came from the other end. "What is it?" he asked."I, I might not be able to accompany you to the banquet."There was a brief silence, then the sound of the air currents filled both ends of the microphone. “And the reason?""I'm not feeling well."He was silent again. Then, he gave an emotionless "Okay" and hung up the phone.A beeping sound came from the phone. Avery looked at it in a
Separated by a door, in the darkness, Blake leaned against the living room's sofa and lit up a cigarette with his fingertip. He frowned as he smoked. There was a trace of melancholy between his brows. His pair of starry eyes that were as deep as the sea hid too many worries.The next morning, the sky was bright.Avery crawled up from the bed, her body aching in pain. The silk covering her body slipped and revealed her naked body. A large part of the skin on her chest was covered in blue kisses.The room was empty. The silence was suffocating. She hugged the blanket on her body tightly and revealed a mocking smile from the corner of her mouth.He was rather carefree.Many times, Zhan Yan felt that she was no different from a prostitute, but a prostitute had a price, she could only let him sleep for free.Avery put on her clothes and got off the bed, then walked into the kitchen with a pair of cloth slippers. She rummaged through the medicine cabinet, poured two yellow pills into her mo
“Oh, I almost didn’t recognize you. So it's Miss Foster. Why, are you here? To see a doctor? Is it an infectious disease or a venereal disease?” Dina blocked in front of Avery and mocked and ridiculed Willa.Willa’s expression immediately changed, pointing at Dina, she cursed, "Watch your mouth, who do you think you are? Isn't you the Gomez family's illegitimate daughter?”"An illegitimate daughter is better than you, a crappy bitch." Dina placed her hands on her hips, showing no fear.Dina was famous for her ferocity, so Willa was naturally not her match."You, you …" Willa was so angry that her entire body was trembling, but she could not utter a single word."Alright, Willa. Don't lower yourself to the same level as that shrew. Be careful of your fetus." The girl at the side tugged on Willa’s arm.Willa stroked her lengthy hair, her hand gently caressing her lower abdomen, as she boasted, "Avery, I forgot to tell you. I'm pregnant.”"Is that so? Congratulations,” Avery replied blan
Blake sat alone on the sofa at the side. His slender legs naturally crossed each other, and his handsome face was hidden in the darkness, giving off a strange oppressive feeling, as if this man was born to be a king.The phone on the table suddenly buzzed, and the screen lit up with the name 'Angie’.A trace of impatience appeared between his brows. The next moment, he grabbed the phone from the table and threw it into the goblet, letting out a crisp clink. He narrowed his eyes and watched as the red wine flooded the phone, gradually turning the glossy screen into darkness."You accompanied Angie for three years, and she finally started to force a marriage? You're not really going to get a divorce for her, are you? Your father-in-law is not someone to be trifled with.” At the side, Trevor spoke in a teasing tone."Don't worry about me, just mind yourself first. Hurry up and deal with Feliz’s matters, don't give me any trouble." Blake’s clear and low voice was filled with a domineering
"Mom, today is a happy day. Don't let others who aren't related to you feel awful. I'll accompany you for a few rounds."Tammy instructed the maids at home to set up the table, and she sit by the table with her mother in her arms. She was the eldest daughter, the one who had always been the best at coaxing Eva Anderson.Eva, Tammy, Susana, Jace, and her wife just happened to be sitting together at the table. Angie was placed elegantly at the side, gracefully sitting on the leather sofa in the living room."Avery, when do you and Blake plan to have children?" Eva touched her badge and said without any warning."Huh?" Avery’s thoughts could not keep up with the rhythm of the scenario."You’ve been married for three years, yet there's no progress. Isn't she working in the hospital? Since she's free, she's going to check if there's anything wrong with her body.""Oh,” Avery replied perfunctorily, she touched his card and without looking at it, she threw it out."Yes, Thirteen. Kill them a
