That was what the doctor told him when he bought the scented candles for Fanny.Massaging certain acupoints on the soles of the feet was effective for mental well-being, and could help with better sleep. Subconsciously, he had been massaging her feet for an hour.During that hour, Fanny slept remarkably well. Her complexion even gained a healthy pallor.Oliver felt a weight lift off his chest. He planned to buy more of these scented candles for her in the future.He looked around the room, and realized there were many things to add—such as a wool blanket with a genuine leather sofa on the balcony for Fanny's afternoon naps and beauty rest. Knowing her love for beauty, he would need to bring over some face masks and seasonal cosmetics. She also liked wearing various colored silk nightgowns. She didn't just like wearing them, but also enjoyed collecting them. In the evenings, she used to try on each one for him to see.Oliver thought about it, and decided that he needed to bring

The wall felt like ice. When Fanny's hot skin pressed against it, she shivered. Instinctively, she tightened her hold on the man in front of her. The place where she grabbed him hurt, and Oliver hesitated for a brief moment. His grip on her tightened.Numerous red marks appeared on their fair skin. Neither of them paid any attention to it. They just stared at each other, as if trying to engrave the other into their eyes.However, there was no love in their actions.Only anger and hatred.He pressed Fanny hard against the wall, fiercely biting her as if he was trying to devour her whole.At first, she resisted. Then, she slowly gave in. Only a pair of lifeless eyes stared at him, like a puppet."Oliver."He didn't listen, nor did he consider her current emotions. He just said, "You brought this upon yourself."His voice was hoarse and deep, and she used to love that the most. But now, it was like a sword piercing in and out of her body. Each thrust was accompanied by pai

"You just had surgery, and Master Oliver instructed me to make sure you take this medicine."She brought over a glass of water, intending for Fanny to take a sip and wash down the pill in her hand.Fanny lowered her head, and looked at the white pill. "What kind of medicine is this?"She currently harbored deep resentment towards Oliver. Of course, she wouldn't take medicine given by her enemy so easily.Yvonne looked a bit embarrassed. "It's medicine that’s good for your body."Fanny turned her head. "I won't take it."Yvonne became anxious. "Madam, if you don't take it, you won't be able to maintain your health. If you get pregnant in this condition, you wouldn’t be able to keep the baby, either. You must take care of yourself first before thinking about getting pregnant. I’m a woman too, and I understand the pain of childbirth and miscarriage. About your previous child with Master Oliver..."He is also heartbroken about it. When he came by yesterday and mentioned that child

Noel was very efficient in handling matters. He quickly found the home address of the coffee shop owner. The company's affairs could be put on hold for another two hours before they started surveillance. Julian decided to take advantage of this time to go and take a look.Although Julian was usually forward-thinking in his actions, Noel still didn't quite understand him. "He's just a coffee shop owner. Do we really need to rush to see him?" Noel asked.Given Julian's status, there was for him to meet anyone in such a hurry. On the contrary, anyone who wanted to enter the economic apex of Richburgh wouldn't be able to avoid Julian or any of the Fulchers. Julian didn't even lift his head. He held his phone, figuring out how to message Diana and tell her that he would be delayed for a couple of days. He hadn't sorted out the proper words yet.Frowning, Julian turned to Noel. "Fine. Let me ask you this, then. Even with the company's resources at your disposal, have you found any

Noel drove Julian through winding streets, eventually heading towards the slums. In recent years, Richburgh had undergone extensive development. Places with a mix of flat and low-rise buildings like this were becoming scarce. However, due to the poor environment, rent was cheap here. Because of that, many residents were still attracted to places like this.At one point, Fulcher Inc. considered whether to use this area as a new development point. Yet, when they considered Diana's past struggles without a home, it became easy for them to empathize with those who couldn't afford proper housing in the big city. For these people, having an affordable place to rest after a hard day's work was a source of happiness.Julian couldn't bear to disrupt this small happiness. However, at this moment, he needed to meet the owner of the café."Noel, why did you bring me here?""This is the owner's address." Noel had to exert significant effort even for a small piece of information like thi
