Lucy hugged Tobias and gently stroked his back soothingly, saying, "Silly, I'm right here. Why would you lose me?"Tobias leaned on Lucy for a while and felt his headache dissipating. His complexion improved as well. He thought about it and figured he must have been bothered by the nightmare he'd had before. He said, "Yeah, you're right beside me. Where should we go for stew?"Since they'd finished the movie, it was time for dinner. Lucy searched for a restaurant online and asked, "How about this restaurant?"Tobias nodded. "Let's go."When they were about to leave, someone knocked on the private room door. The manager respectfully asked, "Mr. Ripley and Mrs. Ripley, can I open the door?"They looked at each other and smiled. Then, Tobias said coldly, "Sure."The manager opened the door and gave them a professional smile. He was quick-witted and asked Lucy, "Mrs. Ripley, are you satisfied with the movie experience today?"Lucy smiled and said, "Very satisfied."The manager

After the doctor's diagnosis, Tobias had yet to wake up. Lucy went to settle the hospital admission procedures. Tobias was unconscious on the bed, and Lucy stayed with him to care for him.She wiped his body with warm water and changed him into a hospital gown. She was anxious when she noticed he was still unconscious and went to ask the doctor about his condition. After the doctor said there was nothing to worry about, she finally relaxed and slept beside Tobias.Lucy didn't manage to sleep the whole night. She stayed by Tobias' side and checked on him occasionally. Then, she decided she would take extra good care of him. She couldn't believe she'd been oblivious to the fact that he'd been suffering from headaches and dizziness thanks to a contusion for a while.Faith texted her, asking, "Lucy, are you done with your thesis? There is only half an hour left before the deadline."Then, Lucy only recalled that she'd promised Faith that she would submit her thesis before the start

Tobias turned around and saw Lucy on the phone. He asked softly, "Who are you talking to, babe?"Lucy pointed at her phone and responded softly, "I'm on the phone with Mr. Jones. You should head back first."Tobias nodded. "Go over to the garden and sit there. You'll tire yourself if you keep standing."Lucy smiled slightly and did what he'd said. Tobias turned around and went back to the room to get changed."Lucy!" Benedict sounded particularly excited over the phone. "Are you willing to take over my position as the leader of the sect?"Lucy nodded solemnly and said, "I am, Mr. Jones!"Benedict responded in a slightly shaky voice, "This is fantastic. I can die with no regrets if you take over the sect!"Lucy asked, "Why do you have to bring up death out of nowhere, Mr. Jones?"Benedict asked, "When are you coming back? We have to hold the succession ceremony."Lucy thought about it for a brief moment and said, "I'm coming today. There's something important I have to discuss

Lucy looked at Tobias in alarm. He was still sleeping. So, she tiptoed to the hallway and continued to talk on the phone. Instead of answering Billy, she popped a question at him."What do you think a doctor's duty is, Billy?" Billy responded without any hesitation, "Treat and save people."Lucy asked again, "Do you think it's a good thing if there's a medication that could save people from the torment their conditions bring them?"Billy paused briefly and said, "Yeah."Lucy said, "Attaboy. Although Zenith Elixir is the top secret in our sect, it does way more than cure cancer. Won't it be a waste if we don't put such a wonderful medication on shelves?"Lucy paused briefly and continued, "More to the point, the Zenith Elixir could be lost to the world if someone doesn't pass it down in the future. No one would know that our sect has such a wonderful medication. Won't that be more heartbreaking and pitiful?"Billy remained quiet for a long time. Then, he said, "You might be righ

Lucy and Tobias finished their meal in town and hired someone to take them to the mountain in a tricycle. It was his first time riding one, and he found it kind of cool.Not long after, they arrived at their destination. Both of them got off the tricycle, and Lucy saw a figure far away. She waved and yelled, "Mr. Jones!"Benedict heard Lucy's voice and walked over. He saw Tobias, who was standing next to her, and scanned him from head to toe. The latter was dressed in a suit and looked exceptionally stunning. His demeanor also demonstrated grace and elegance. What was more, he exuded an overpowering sense of superiority. It was hard not to both respect and fear him. Benedict knew the answer to his question, but he asked it nonetheless, "Who might this be?"Lucy responded, "Allow me to introduce him, Mr. Jones. He is my husband, Tobias Ripley." She couldn't tell if Benedict was satisfied with Tobias. All he did was stare at Tobias arrogantly. Tobias bowed slightly and said, "Hi
