Laurence was very efficient. In the evening, he made an appointment for Zoey at a private hospital owned by the Scott family for the following day. She didn’t even need to line up or wait for her turn to undergo surgery.Zoey thought she’d be going alone. Unexpectedly, Laurence pushed back his work for the day and drove her to the hospital himself.When they stopped at a red light, Laurence tapped his thumbs and asked casually, “Did you bring your medical records?”“Yes.” Zoey turned her head in the passenger seat and looked out the car window silently.“What about the previous health check reports?” Laurence asked meticulously.Zoey had torn all her past medical reports to pieces and tossed them down the drain. She said after a slight pause, “I forgot where I put them.”“It’s alright. You can just do another health check today.”“Sure, Mr. Scott,” Zoey replied detachedly as if she was doing something that didn’t concern her.…The moment Zoey stepped into the hospital, the smell of di

“This has nothing to do with her,” said Laurence. After a slight pause, he added, “We’re both not mature enough to handle raising a child. She shouldn’t be bogged down with a child at this age. Mother, please respect our wishes.”Mrs. Scott was powerless against her son. There was nothing she could do even if she was raging mad.“You’re hopeless. I’m done talking to you.”The light above the operating room dimmed, and out came the doctor.“She just needs some rest. She can be discharged after some observation.”That meant the surgery had been successful, and the child was no more. Mrs. Scott’s eyes reddened; she’d just found out about the existence of her grandchild, and now the child was gone. Everybody envied her because she had a good son who wasn’t a worthless rich heir or an underachieving loser. He’d become the head of their family at a young age and was the youngest amongst the leaders of the affluent families of Northwell. Being as capable and decisive as he was, he’d grasped

Laurence was obviously lying. He didn’t even bother to be more sincere when deceiving others. Even so, when Zoey heard him say he liked her, her heart still thumped hopelessly and violently. The next moment, she immediately understood from his carefree demeanor that he wasn’t being serious at all.Zoey calmed down. She didn’t have much energy left after the surgery, “Laurence, I don’t need a vacation.”She just wanted to quit, clear her mind, and stop indulging in her feelings for him.Laurence was unexpectedly patient with her. “If you don’t want to take three months off, let’s make it one month. Don’t say that I, the capitalist, am exploiting you again.”She couldn’t understand why he refused to let her go. Her position as his secretary wasn’t so important to the extent that she was irreplaceable. Others could easily replace her at any time.“I...”“Don’t be presumptuous, Miss Jenner. The personal secretary position isn’t something anyone can fill in casually.”Zoey felt that she was

Over the years, Laurence rarely experienced such a vast fluctuation in his mood. He endured it for some time, but in the end, he couldn’t hold back.Pinching her wrist hard, the veins on his hand popped, and his already tense expression became even more contorted. “Are you fucking saying it’s my fault for making you eat?”He seemed really angry. His eyes burned with fury, and Zoey felt like her wrist was about to break.She flung his hand away expressionlessly and said, “Fine. It’s my fault.”Laurence stared into her eyes. The fire in his heart raged on even more intensely. The words that came from her mouth dealt heavy blows to his heart like a hammer. He wasn’t good at managing his anger and would return the favor tenfold if he was even slightly unhappy.This time, however, he put a lid on his anger.“Forget it. Why am I blowing my top over this when she’s in this state?” he thought.Laurence gradually calmed down and pressed back the emotions that shouldn’t have appeared. He regaine

It was all so that he didn’t appear to be a cruel man who left his wife to her own devices after she had an abortion. He was kind enough to stay home and take good care of her.Laurence looked at her with a smile, but the smile wasn’t exactly sincere. “What do you mean?”Zoey knew that he was suppressing his anger. She said very calmly, “I don’t need it.”After a long time, Laurence said, “Zoey, you’re very forgiving indeed.”Zoey replied, “You taught me well.”Later, Laurence didn’t go into the kitchen but called the hotel to get people to send dinner over. He sat opposite Zoey with his long legs crossed. He looked into her eyes and stayed silent for a long time. Then, he spoke up exasperatedly.“You’re right. None of this was necessary.”He’d never cooked for anyone. His good intentions were all laid to waste that day. It wasn’t worth all the trouble at all.Zoey didn’t reply. She was looking at the entertainment channel on the TV in a daze.Unfortunately, the TV host was broadcastin
