Chapter 20

ผู้เขียน: Happy Breadwinner
Sarah never expected her mother to be against her divorce. She walked along the hospital corridor, feeling disheartened. When she looked up, she saw Duncan standing not far away.

Lester, who was next to him, noticed her. He asked, "Ms. Langdon, is your mother awake?"

She walked over and replied, "Yes, she's awake now."

She looked up at the man standing tall like a pine tree before her and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Cunningham."

The man's reply was a faint "Mm."

She knew that a life-saving

  • Time And Tide Wait For No Woman   Chapter 30

    Neil drove Sarah to Moonlight Bay. Learning that she had already moved out of Jack's mansion, a slight ripple still passed through his heart even though he had already decided to treat her as a sister for the rest of his life."I'll wait down here.""Okay, I'll be right down."She was wearing the cute cartoon pajamas and cloth shoes a nurse had kindly bought her. They really were a bit... embarrassing for such an occasion. She wanted to change into her own clothes and also put away Duncan's trench coat so she wouldn't lose it.By the time the two arrived at MIIT, the symposium had already started.Neil was a renowned alumnus and also Prof. Acuff's prized student, so upon entering the venue, he attracted everyone's attention and was invited onto the stage by their mentor.Sarah, dressed in stylish casual wear with a baseball cap on, sat at the very back. Watching how full of vigor and confidence Neil was after he was forced by Prof. Acuff to give a speech, she felt envious.Her

    Hank had long held a special place in her heart, and now he finally had an official status.Reese showed a rare hint of shyness as she gently reached out to stroke Sarah's face. "Silly girl."She suddenly tensed up. "Why are there wounds on your face? And on your wrists too!"Hank was also alarmed."Gems on my bracelet broke and scratched me. It's no big deal.""You're always so clumsy. Do be more careful."Afraid her mother would notice other wounds on her body, Sarah turned to Neil at the door for help.But what she saw surprised her. Neil's dark eyes were utterly lifeless, his steps were hesitant, and he looked as if he was drenched in cold water. What was wrong with him?"Neil? Let's be their best man and maid-of-honor!"Feeling a bit worried, she approached Neil. "We'll be a family from now on!"Did Neil not approve of the marriage?But all these years, he had been so kind to her mother.Neil looked down at the girl. A dense, prickling ache spread from a corner of his

    A self-mocking smile tugged at the corner of Sarah's lips.How could he possibly feel regret? She must have seen wrong.Sarah withdrew her gaze. "I only hit his head and bit his neck.""That's strange," the police officer mused. "Both his hands are broken.""His hands are broken?"She tried hard to remember. "Maybe he fell while chasing me. After all, he had sand in his eyes and couldn't see clearly.""That's possible. The suspect has been taken into custody. Once we've gathered the evidence, we'll need further cooperation from you in the investigation. Get some rest. We wish you a speedy recovery," the officer said."Thank you."After the police left, Neil walked in with a bouquet of tulips, looking worried. "Sarah, are you alright?""Don't worry, Neil, I'm fine. I can be discharged today. Don't tell my mother about this." Sarah was worried her mother would find out."Don't worry, she doesn't know." He placed the tulips in a vase.Just then, Kyle entered carrying two bouque

    "He only cares about Haley now. There's no room for you in his heart." Terrence, seeing her sobbing uncontrollably, softened his voice. "Just be my woman. Once I help my sister take over Ferrell Corporation, we'll trample that pair of scum beneath our feet together."She nodded."You're so pretty..."Terrence, seeing she had given in and couldn't escape, climbed over her.Only raging fury remained in her eyes. She bit down hard on his neck, drawing blood.Terrence, already injured and now attacked repeatedly, screamed in pain, momentarily losing the ability to fight back.She pushed him away, staggered to her feet, and ran."You..."Hearing Terrence's curses, she ran even faster. Suddenly, her forehead slammed into a hard wall of muscle. She looked up and saw an impeccably handsome face, though the face's quiet dark eyes seemed to swirl with a violent storm.As if seeing a savior, she grabbed Duncan's hand. "Mr. Cunningham, someone's assaulting me. Please help me."His deep e

    While Sarah was staring after him, her mother suddenly gripped her wrist tightly. "Sarah, go after him. I still have questions for him.""Mom...""Hurry up!" Reese insisted.Sarah could only obey.Leaving her mother with the caregiver, she chased after him.In the long corridor, he and she stood at opposite ends."Jack..."She called out to him."Wait."He spoke coolly, then turned to Victor with a noticeably gentler tone. "Mr. and Mrs. Cole, allow me to see you out."He was warm toward the Cole couple, yet cold toward Sarah's mother.Why couldn't her mother see that? How could she still have any delusion left about him?Sarah waited in place. When he didn't come back after a long time, she decided not to wait anymore.As she was leaving, a large hand suddenly wrapped around her, pinning her against a stone pillar."Terrence!"He was bruised and swollen, his wrist wrapped in bandages, as if someone had beaten him up.His fingers gripped her chin, his smile twisted and d

    "If they bring it up first, the initiative is in our hands," Ben analyzed the divorce case strategy for her. "Then, we can fight for more..."Sarah pressed her hand over Ben's to stop him from continuing. Ben pressed his lips together, raised his eyes, and together with her looked toward Jack.Jack approached, his figure appearing especially tall and imposing. His bearing was extraordinary, and his sharp jawline carried a trace of cold aloofness that kept people at bay."Mr. Ferrell, long time no see," Ben greeted.The man nodded faintly.They had grown up in the same circles. They were not close, but acquainted.Seeing his indifferent expression, Sarah signaled Ben to leave.However, even after Ben left, Jack still didn't bring up the divorce.It seemed he wasn't ready yet.As Sarah remained silent, the man spoke coolly, "Come with me."While she was still puzzled, her phone rang. She answered and listened to her mother's instructions while staring after the man's cold back
