Joshua stood motionless, staring into the distance where the car had disappeared a while ago. His expression was unreadable.Terry scratched his head, unsure whether he should remind Joshua about the urgent company matters. He was worried about seeming insensitive. Wearing a gloomy expression, he quietly watched Joshua.The chilly wind made him shiver, and he wrapped his suit tightly around himself. He wondered why Joshua wasn't affected by the cold.Then, he noticed that Joshua was wearing a high-quality black coat, which no doubt kept him warm.Terry looked down at his own suit, which was wrinkled from sprinting all the way here.He shook his head helplessly and clutched himself. He couldn't help but mock himself for having to endure the cold wind due to Joshua's problems.Just when Terry assumed Joshua wouldn't be back at the office today, he suddenly heard Joshua's voice, which was chillingly firm. "Find out about Ryan."He spoke quickly, and Terry didn't hear him clearly. "

Ryan and Natasha stood not far from the entrance to the villa.The man stood against the golden light, his features half-hidden in shadow.Natasha couldn't make it out at first, but then she thought it could be Joshua. But as she looked closer, she realized the man was broader and shorter than Joshua.After closing the car door, Ryan noticed Natasha standing still while staring at the entrance. He asked, "What's the matter, professor? It's freezing out here. Why aren't you going in?"Natasha signaled in the direction of the entrance by lifting her chin.Ryan noticed a figure lingering at the entrance. He was obviously waiting for someone.Ryan couldn't help frowning. He considered it lucky that he had accompanied Natasha home that day. She could have been vulnerable to potential troublemakers if she had been alone.Determined to teach the man a lesson, Ryan marched up to him.Yet, Natasha grabbed him by the sleeve and suggested, "Should I call Shawn to come over?"She felt the

Daniel was laughing just a moment ago before he suddenly turned to Ryan and asked, "What's your name?"He seemed very excited. It was as if Natasha was about to marry Ryan any second."Well… um…" Ryan stuttered."Uncle Daniel, you've got it wrong!" Natasha quickly interrupted."Wrong? If you're not dating, then why did you come home together at this hour? Don't try to deceive me."Daniel didn't believe her. Chuckling, he added, "I wouldn't mind if you two were a couple."Ryan seemed friendly and approachable, unlike Joshua, who appeared distant and aloof.Joshua always wore a solemn expression, which often left people wondering why he seemed so arrogant. Moreover, Ryan even took the initiative to protect Natasha, which impressed Daniel.Natasha took a sip of water to calm her nerves. Holding her forehead, she said helplessly, "He's not my boyfriend. He's my assistant in my lab."He came home with me today because we were delayed by something, and we haven't had dinner yet. Plu

Daniel looked furious. His eyes were wide with anger, veins popping on his temples, and his cheeks trembling slightly. It was clear he was very upset about what Natasha had done.Ryan hung his head even lower. The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became tense.Natasha remained quiet as Daniel looked at her, waiting for a response.Daniel's anger grew stronger. "Natasha, I'm asking—"Suddenly, he realized he wasn't addressing a subordinate at the hospital, but his niece whom he hadn't seen in years. He recognized that his tone had been too harsh.Swiftly, he softened his approach and asked, "Natasha, could you please tell me? Was the patient you operated on this afternoon a Grayson?"Natasha tightened her lips, served more meatloaf for Daniel, and responded, "Uncle Daniel, let's eat. It's not the right time to discuss this during dinner."Daniel noticed Natasha's attempt to change the subject. He was familiar with her stubbornness, which had been apparent from her insis

Natalie looked at Philip's calm face. Mike had recently given him some medication, so he still appeared a bit tense from its effects.Inside, Natalie felt worried, her eyes squinting with uncertainty. She had asked Mark earlier about possible side effects or the chances of the medication not working.Mark had given her firm reassurance, shaking his head confidently and stating that the medication had never failed. Once it was given, it guaranteed that the person would be completely vegetative.Natalie's expression remained neutral.She was aware of the inevitable agony Philip would face. Despite Mike's attempts to help him, she understood that the intense pain would soon overwhelm him and death would be his only escape.At that instant, Natalie made a firm decision to quicken Philip's end. It would save her from the trouble of searching for the Sullivan family's secret remedy and the discomfort of fulfilling her obligations.Furthermore, the obstacle of marrying into the Grayson
