Elijah sighed and continued holding her. “Furthermore, ever since he was a child, the Greene family would scold him at every turn. When he was disobedient, they would lock him in the basement without giving him anything to eat or drink.” “Seth received a kidney transplant more than ten years ago.” “He was only a teenager at that time. Neither you nor I can imagine the things he’s gone through if his kidney had become necrotic at such a young age.” “After that, Jameson became Seth’s doctor and told me Seth’s life story.” “When his kidney became necrotic, the Greene family had no plans to arrange for him to receive treatment.” “I was pretending to be disabled and blind in front of outsiders at that time. There were many things I could not do on my own.” “So I sought out Seth. I asked if he would be willing to work for me if I funded his treatment.” “Just like that, we first became superior and subordinate. And then progressed to become the best of friends.” Elijah gazed i

Evonne smiled too. “Is that so?” She sat relaxedly in the booth seat and fiddled listlessly with the lighter in her hands. “You’re lying, Ms. Greene.” Chelsea narrowed her eyes and did not say anything. “The expression on your face tells me that you’re lying.” “Besides.” She laughed mockingly. “Could it be that Ms. Greene has not yet slept with Seth despite being engaged to him for so long?” She raised her eyes and gazed mockingly at Chelsea. “Ms. Greene, why has your face turned red? Were my guesses correct?” Chelsea gritted her teeth. “Yes, Seth and I have not slept together yet, but what is there to mock about that?” “He said that he cherishes me and treasures me, which is why he’ll only take me on our wedding night!” Chelsea smiled coldly. “Don’t think that everyone else is like you, getting pregnant with someone else’s child before you’re even married!” “Seth said I’m different from those other women he can’t be bothered to give a d*mn about!” The look in E

When Evonne woke up in the hospital, Thomas was sitting beside her drawing comics. She struggled to move her body. “What… happened to me?” When Thomas heard her voice, he hurriedly put down his drawing board and said, “You fainted on the streets. A kind person sent you to the hospital.” Heartache was evident in the man’s eyes as he gazed at her. “How are you feeling? Do you need a doctor to come and take a look at you?” Evonne waved her hands. “It’s alright.” She probably got too excited during her meeting with Chelsea. It was no big deal. Thomas stared at her face, seemingly wanting to say something.A second later, he sighed and turned his head the other way. “I promised Zoey that I’ll help keep your illness a secret, but you have to keep your end of the deal and stop bullying yourself!” Evonne nodded. “Alright, thanks.” She pushed herself to sit up in bed and massaged her aching temples. “I have an important job to take care of in three days. When I finish it and ge

Zoey was so shocked she was at a loss for words. She raised her large, dark eyes and stared at Thomas. “You’re… Northern Wind Song?” A smile bloomed on Thomas’ face. “That’s me.“My pen name is Northern Wind Song.” Then, he looked at her gleefully. “I didn’t expect you to be a reader of my comics as well?“But this is a really old work of mine. I can’t even find it myself anymore. Where did you get this?” Zoey stared at his face, unable to say anything. How was that possible? How could Thomas be Northern Wind Song, the cartoonist she had a crush on? With the number of emotions she was experiencing now, it would not be too much to say she felt as if she had been struck by thunder. Thomas was still chattering away beside her. “This is one of my earlier works. At that time, I had just started drawing comics and there were many areas where my technique was not refined.“When I matured a bit, I felt that the things I drew in the past didn’t look very good…“After all… lo

Zoey could not finish the rest of her sentences when she saw that Evonne had taken a firm stand. She raised her head and looked up at Thomas, who was busy helping Evonne set up cameras on the second floor. A wave of emotions washed over her. He was Northern Wind Song, the cartoonist she had liked as a young girl. He was also a reliable man who was willing to take care of and protect her best friend until they grew old. Zoey shut her eyes. Evonne, who was sitting in front of Zoey, gazed at her and smiled slightly. She noticed that the look in Zoey’s eyes would turn soft whenever she brought up Thomas. She liked Thomas herself but was still pushing him into her arms. Such a silly woman. ... Eight o’clock at night. Chelsea’s birthday celebration began. The host stood on stage and made a joyous speech in honor of Chelsea. Chelsea was wearing a dress made from purple gossamer tonight. She looked delicate, beautiful, and stunningly gorgeous. Evonne stood below
