Chapter 11 Crybaby

The doctor adjusted his glasses again under her unwavering stare. "Excuse me, Madam?""Oh, it's nothing." Hannah smiled. "Thanks for everything you do, doctor. Mr. Winchester's legs are still bothering him. Does that mean he still can recover completely from his condition?"The doctor's hands trembled once more. He frowned. Then, after a brief pause, he said, "My skills are limited, Mrs. Winchester. I'm afraid I can't cure Mr. Winchester. If you don't believe in my expertise, you're welcome to consult a renowned specialist."His words seemed to carry his dissatisfaction toward her questioning of his abilities."Madam." Bryan nudged her softly. "We've consulted numerous experts when Mr. Winchester first had his accident. "Dr. Greydon received his medical degree from abroad. His achievements in the field of surgery are also exceptional." "I hope you're not offended by my casual remark, Dr. Greydon," Hannah said. Then, she exchanged a thoughtful glance with Darren. "If there

Chapter 12 Bread Pudding

Hannah couldn't help but raise a brow. "What's wrong with my husband's legs, doctor?""Are you two waiting for his legs to deteriorate beyond repair before thinking of seeing a doctor?"The doctor was quite young. He had on a white coat and wore golden-rimmed glasses. While he appeared professional, his words were direct and blunt. "Judging from your clothes, you can't be short of money. So, what's the deal? Is having physical defects a trend now among the wealthy?"Darren clenched his fists. His voice was tight when he spoke. "Do you mean … does this mean my legs can still be saved?"He looked calm, but there was no hiding the tension and the faint hope in his eyes.Hannah laid a hand on his arm. She gave him a reassuring glance."It is possible." The doctor nodded. His confidence was unquestionable. He later explained as he wrote a prescription for Darren. "With a minor surgery, proper medication, and rehabilitation, you could be up and walking in no time."Darren's eyes g

Chapter 13 Car Racing

It was Anthony, the second child of the family. Hannah glanced out the window. The moon hid behind dark clouds, and thunder rumbled with flashes of lightning from time to time. The strong wind howled. The rain was coming.The mountain road was also called "Death Route." It got that name because of its uneven surface and winding paths. There were steep cliffs on one side and a chasm on the other. There were many twists and turns. Many accidents happened on that road.Anyone who drove on Death Route during the day had to be careful. As such, racing on it in such a heavy rainstorm was almost unheard of.It was reckless.Hannah's expression darkened. She pulled her jacket tighter around her slender figure. "There's no need to wake Mr. Winchester up. I can handle it," she said coldly.Bryan hesitated for a moment. Then he said, "Madam, please let me drive." Rain began to pour at that moment. The wind howled, and the storm raged on. Occasional flashes of lightning appeared i

Chapter 14 You're Mad

"Are you mad?" Anthony yelled. He finally showed a hint of fear. After all, he was facing death and in a clear line of danger. He reached out to grab the steering wheel. "Die if you want to, but don't take me out with you!""Sit still!" Hannah warned. She pushed his hand away and performed a difficult drift to successfully make the turn.However, Anthony did not have the time to admire her skillful maneuver. A sense of relief filled him instead. He had narrowly escaped death.Hannah did not look at him. She maintained her composure and kept up the pace. She skillfully made every dangerous turn ahead.Anthony's nerves were on edge the entire time. There was no guarantee Hannah would succeed every time she made a difficult turn to avoid danger.When they reached the finish line, the rain had stopped. The moon shone brightly behind the dark clouds. Upon seeing them approach, cheers erupted at the finish line.Anthony opened the car door and stepped out. His face was pale. His

Chapter 15 Parent-Teacher Conference

Anthony remained silent. But his usually indifferent eyes suddenly seemed to light up with something."You're quite stubborn," Hannah said. She stopped after hitting him three times.Anthony refused to admit his mistake, but Hannah didn't seem angry. "Since you don't want to admit you were wrong, I'll give you time to think it over. Until you figure it out …" Hannah said calmly and trailed off.She shot him a faint smile and continued warmly, "Well, if you have any other activities in mind, you can come find me. I promise that we'll have a good time together."Anthony did not say a word. His hands curled into fists. He felt a slight burning pain as he tightened his grip. He was not used to such feelings.Hannah turned to the housekeeper, who had been frightened into silence. "Mrs. Tate, please make some chicken soup for Anthony. Don't forget to apply some ointment on his palm," Hannah instructed."Yes, Madam. Would you like a bowl for yourself as well? Why don't you go wash

Chapter 16 Going Shopping

"Mr. Welfare, Thomas has already done as you've asked. Please be patient for a little longer," Jerry Boyce said. He shuddered all over and did not seem to care about the pain in his forehead."You and your father should stay on your toes. You realize that once Darren gets back on his feet, I won't be the first one to die, right?" Robert said coldly. He calmly wiped his glasses and grinned. Jerry was covered in cold sweat. The threat sent chills down his spine. "Don't worry. Everything will go as you wish."After their encounter, Jerry learned just how ruthless the young man before him could be."Good. Now get lost."Robert smiled faintly and took a closer look at the cover of the gossip magazine. He tossed it into the waste-paper basket, effectively hiding the headline...."Hey Jane, take a look at this." Someone tugged at Jane Wilfare's sleeve. She was picking out a handbag at that moment. A strange expression flashed across her face. "Isn't that Darren and his wife?"

Chapter 17 Happy

Life was unfair.How can someone as shallow and ignorant as Hannah have such extraordinary beauty? It was simply a waste."Oh? Then how should I maintain my beauty?" Hannah asked with an interested smile. She saw how Jane's face contorted with envy. "Well, it's only natural that you should only show yourself in front of others with makeup on. You have to look energetic and radiant. This color is one that men go crazy for in the elite circles this year," Jane said. Her excitement was evident. She opened the lipstick in her hand eagerly."This lipstick is like a magical tool. It can complement a person's complexion very well. Hannah, this shade will look perfect on you. "Try it on. You'll definitely attract the attention of everyone in the room. Come on," Jane urged as she handed the lipstick to Hannah.It was a fluorescent pink lipstick, also known as "Dying Barbie Pink." The color was one that even those who aimed for a perfect Barbie look often struggled to pull off.For pe

Chapter 18 Party

Her eyes sparkled as if they were filled with stars.Darren's heart skipped a beat, and he had to look away. Just then, the door opened, and the doctor came in. He said, "Your condition looks alright. It also seems like you still want to keep your legs."The doctor continued in a mocking tone, "I can arrange for your surgery within the next few days if you want." Hannah glanced at his name tag.Dr. Joseph Garner, the orthopedic doctor in charge of Darren's case.He seemed too young to be a specialist."Dr. Garner, how high is the surgery success rate?" Hannah asked."The success rate is higher than if left untreated," Joseph replied with a sardonic laugh. "What? Do you think it's better to just be disabled instead? If that's the case, please leave. Don't waste my time," he continued."Of course not," Hannah replied in exasperation. She knew Joseph was only being so harsh because of a misunderstanding. He thought they had deliberately delayed Darren's treatment, causing h

Chapter 19 Naomi Winchester

Misty wore a champagne-colored cocktail dress. She had a diamond-studded tiara perched on her head. She looked like a princess and attracted the attention of most of the guests.Claudia took in her daughter's appearance proudly. She whispered, "Make sure to put on a good performance later. Once you become Ms. Yakes' apprentice, you'll definitely be able to marry into a wealthy family." Misty frowned as though she felt uncomfortable by her mother's blunt words. She replied in an equally low voice, "Mom, stop reminding me. I know what I need to do."Misty was young and beautiful. She looked innocent, yet the look in her eyes was downright predatory. Once she got rid of that disabled man, she could live a better life.Claudia didn't mind Misty's tone. She replied with a smile, "I know. You've always been my pride and joy."Compared to the other guests present, the Emersons were insignificant. It had taken quite a bit of effort on their end just to be able to attend the party. Ja

Chapter 20 I'm Begging You

Everyone was amazed by the new Mrs. Winchester. However, they were surprised to see her so calm, especially in a place where most people didn't have her best intentions in mind.Kenneth had always been a playboy. If Hannah were to fall for his flirting, she would be the laughingstock of the town.The crowd looked on as Kenneth made a move on Hannah. However, none of them stepped forward to help her out of it. Anthony and Andrew stiffened. They tried to stop Kenneth from getting closer. Nina was also anxious, pouting as she tightly held Hannah's arm. Though she looked terrified, she still stuck close to Hannah.On the other hand, Hannah didn't look the slightest bit worried. She even smiled in amusement at her in-laws' behaviors.She flashed them all a look to comfort them. Then, she nodded at Kenneth with a smile. "Mr. Sorsby, we meet again.""Don't be such a stranger, Mrs. Winchester," Kenneth said politely. Then, he lowered his voice and added, "After all, I've already sen
