He shook his head and said, "I’m full."Sally Summers swirled what was left of the soy milk in the cup. Due to her frugal nature, she drank the remaining soy milk and ate the dumplings left by Elijah.She went to Shawn to collect his empty food container and threw them away together with hers.Just as she was done doing it, the door of the emergency room opened.The nurse pushed Grandma Summers out of the emergency room. The doctor took off his surgical mask and explained, "She’s fine for now, but I would recommend her to be on bed rest for some time."The doctor gave Shawn a meaningful look. "Her physical condition is not good. I hope that all of you, as her family member, would pay more attention to her. Don’t let her get upset again.”Shawn nodded and assured, "I understand."Sally frowned at the doctor's words.‘Was grandma upset about something again?When her grandmother found out that she was going to marry a handicapped person, she fell seriously ill.‘That was not to

Liam’s punks helped him to stand up. He pulled out the darts on his knees and looked around like a mad man. "Who did it!?""F*ck you, you nosy *sshole!"The dart in his hand was a small and exquisite blue dart.Sally frowned. She had seen this type of darts in Elijah’s drawer when she was tidying the bedside table in the morning.At that time, she had picked it up and wanted to ask him if the dart belonged to him, but then she thought to herself, ‘He is blind, he couldn’t even see me, his new wife. How could he see the target of the dart?’To avoid touching his sore spot, she did not ask him anything.However, why would this dart appear here? And it just happened to be shot into Liam's knee?"*sshole, come and face me!"Seeing that no one appeared from the overgrown bushes, Liam felt that the person who shot the darts at him must be a coward who only dared to hide in the dark, so his words became harsher and harsher."Don't f*cking hide in the dark and dare not come out, are y

“Yes, sir.”The conversation between master and servant befuddled Sally.It was just dinner. Why did they make it seem like they were preparing to meet someone?What are they asking Blair to get ready with?Half an hour later, when Sally arrived at the so-called Skyhigh Gardens along with Elijah, she finally understood why Ol’ Joe had reacted like that.Skyhigh Gardens was not the name of a restaurant. It was a hotel’s rooftop.The hotel had a little more than thirty floors. The building was not tall, but it was not short either. It was just nice when one wanted to enjoy a scenic view of the city.The safety measures were comprehensive, and the decorations lavish, but there was only one table in sight.Ol’ Joe pushed Elijah to the table. Sally sat down on the chair opposite him.A waiter walked up. “Mr. Moses, you’re having the usual?”“The usual.”The waiter nodded and left.After a while, scrumptious food and dishes of all types that Sally had never seen before were serve

Finishing his words, he waved his hand toward Ol’ Joe, who walked forward and wheeled him away. The doors to the rooftop closed and the only ones left were Sally, Blair, and Liam. Blair twitched his lips, threw down the shackles that chained Liam, scoffed, and walked off right after.Liam rolled over and crawled his way onto the center of the rooftop and glared at Sally. “What are you standing there for, come and get me off these chains!”The moment Elijah left the scene, his tone toward Sally changed to being harsh and abusive once more. Sally was still in shock from witnessing someone almost dying and immediately unbound Liam from his chains as he yelled at her. Who knew, as soon as the chains came loose, Liam pounced and pinned Sally onto the ground, strangling her. “How dare you, you b*tch, to have these people come after me?”She never would have expected that this guy, who would not even risk crossing Elijah, to suddenly turned the tables and pinned her to the ground i

The voice surprised Sally. She almost lost her balance and nearly spilled the milk.Thankfully, her previous experience working in a cafe helped her find her footing.When she came back to her senses, the doors to the study room swung open. Blair looked at her with suspicion, “What are you here for?”In the face of such a direct query, Sally for a moment could not find the words to respond.After a while, she mumbled her intentions. “I’m here to give you guys some milk…”She truly did not mean to eavesdrop on their conversation, even though she did not understand a word of it.“Come in.”The indifferent voice of a man came from the room.Sally felt relieved and walked in swiftly with the tray of milk. Setting it on the table, she explained, “I just went down to warm some milk, and I figured you probably have not slept yet, so…”“Why did you wake up?”Elijah had his back toward her, seemingly uninterested to know why she was there.Sally was stunned and coughed lightly, “I ju
