As far as Willow knew, Theodore didn't like drinking much. Even when he went out for social events, he drank very little, with most of the alcohol being handled by his assistants or secretaries.Moreover, people in the industry were aware of his temperament and never pressured him to drink. So, how could he have stomach ulcers?Terence glanced at Willow with a complicated expression. "After you left, there was a period when he drank a lot, to the point of causing gastrointestinal bleeding."No one could persuade him to stop. That was until Ms. Whalley returned and admonished him back to his senses. But the damage was already done by then."Willow was slightly taken aback. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart, but she soon snapped out of it and clenched her fists.The pain from her nails digging into her palm reminded her of how deeply Theodore had hurt her.After the three-hour surgery, Theodore was transferred to a VIP hospital room."He can only have liquid foods after the su

Theodore's chiseled jaw brushed against Willow's forehead lightly, causing a warm sensation to slowly spread between them. Though there was no further physical contact, it was enough to make both of them recall their intimate past—the moments that once made them both feel happy and content.Then, Theodore reached out to her."What are you doing?" Willow reacted as if she'd just been burned. After taking a step back, she almost bumped into the sink, her expression wary.Theodore's hand touched nothing, and he slowly dropped it. "I heard you didn't accept Matthew's proposal. Why?""You sure got the information quick." Willow sneered. "If I agreed, you'd ask why. If I didn't agree, you still ask why. Does everything in this world require your approval to proceed?"Instead of getting angry, Theodore commented earnestly, "Not agreeing to it was the right decision."Willow rolled her eyes at him. "Move aside."Just before leaving, she couldn't help but ask, "Theodore, do you know wh

"She's not." Theodore quickly corrected Terence. "It's a matter of principle. She does not respond to gentle persuasion or force."Curious, Terence asked, "So, was what happened between the two of you three years ago a matter of principle?"Theodore's eyes instantly narrowed, turning cold. In response, Terence quickly shut his mouth, his expression complex.Even though all of that had occurred three years ago, no one dared to bring up the matter of Theodore's daughter's disappearance and death in front of him.Even Terence would only allude to it vaguely before leaving it at that."Ignoring issues isn't a good way to deal with them," Terence remarked. "I advise you to clarify the things that need explaining. Don't expect others to be able to understand you, especially the current Willow.""I know that. There's no need for you to point it out.""I would rather not meddle in your business, but let me ask one more thing—does Iris know about your trip to Portumville?"Theodore's br

Willow answered with a smile, "Myself.""Do I look like an idiot to you?""Absolutely.""Hey! That's not fair. We agreed to exchange secrets. Why aren't you keeping your word?""When did I ever agree to that? I just said you should go first.""You!" Penny instantly became infuriated.Before it got dark outside, the mushroom soup was ready. Willow specially served Penny a bowl, which barely appeased the latter's anger."I have to work overtime at the office tonight, so I won't be back for dinner. You'll have to sort it out yourself.""Alright."Penny glanced over, her gaze falling on the thermos Willow was holding. Was it really necessary to bring a thermos of soup just for working overtime? As if she would believe it!Willow drove to the hospital alone. As evening approached, the clouds cast a deep orange hue across the sky, illuminating the surface of Portumville River as if it were sprinkled with gold dust and making it shimmer brightly.A knock on the door sounded."Co

"You two scared the living daylights out of me. When did you get here, Jessica?""Penny asked me to come over.""Why? Did your place get flooded as well?""Come here for now, Willow." Penny patted the seat beside her on the couch.Seeing the eerily white facial masks of the two made Willow feel like she was going to be interrogated.Willow patted her chest to calm herself. "What do you guys want?"Penny got straight to the point. "Who is that guy lying in the hospital to you?"Willow frowned slightly. "You two waited up this late just to ask me that?""Answer the question. Who said you could ask questions?"Willow wasn't afraid of Penny's antics, but Jessica's cold, stern posture made her a bit uneasy."Why do you guys want to know? He's just an old friend."Jessica spoke in a low voice. "Is it really necessary to personally make soup for an old friend and keep them company until the middle of the night?"Willow's frown deepened, and she asked Penny, "Did Dr. Roth tell you
