Jenna looked Leo up and down.He seemed polite and decent, with a stable job, though he was a bit older. However, since Ella already had two children, finding someone slightly older wasn’t an issue. After all, the elders often said that older men were better at taking care of their families.Jenna's bold appraisal didn’t go unnoticed, though Leo didn’t seem bothered by it. It was just Jenna being herself—she was known for her tendency to value appearances, so taking a few extra glances at a handsome man was nothing unusual.Ella’s leg injury hadn’t fully healed, and standing for too long was difficult. She had to rely on Jenna to help her greet Leo. Luckily, Jenna had been practically living at Ella’s house these past few days and was already familiar with the layout of the kitchen and living room.Leo didn’t stay for long.Firstly, he wanted to avoid running into Mr. and Mrs. Kane. Although he didn’t think there was anything wrong with being there, he knew Ella didn’t want her par

"I know your answer now, Dr. Leo. Don’t worry, I’ll help you in front of Ella," said Jenna.Leo smiled and shook his head. "Actually, I don’t care about these things that much. As long as I can be with her, I feel satisfied, no matter what my identity is."Jenna couldn’t help but be amazed. Is there really such a perfect man in the world? She didn’t believe it before meeting Leo, but now she was starting to believe it."It’s getting late, Miss Jenna. I won’t accompany you into the community. After all, you’re a celebrity. If someone takes a picture of us, it might cause trouble for you," said Leo as he got out of the car and opened the door for her.Unexpectedly, Jenna had already pushed the door open from the inside half a second earlier. He didn’t have time to dodge, and the door hit his leg.Leo sucked in a breath, his face twisting for a moment before quickly recovering with a smile.But Jenna noticed it and anxiously apologized, "Dr. Leo, are you okay? Did I hit you? Does it hur

Ella's heart warmed at her father’s gentle tone as he smiled at her, his concern evident. “Take care of yourself, Ella. And don’t keep Mr. Montgomery waiting.”“Thanks, Dad.” She nodded before pushing open the door to the hospital room.The moment she stepped in, Ella was greeted by the sight of Lucas Montgomery reclining on the hospital bed, leisurely peeling an orange. It was like he didn’t have a care in the world. His sharp, piercing eyes locked on her, and he smirked.“What can I do for you, Mr. Montgomery?” she asked, her tone businesslike.Lucas’s smirk widened. “Since your leg injury is better now, shouldn’t you be returning to work?”Ella raised an eyebrow. “Actually, I was about to inform you. I’ll be back at Apex Corp tomorrow.”His chuckle was rich and infuriating. “Lila, I think you misunderstood something. You’re not just any employee. You’re my personal secretary. Your job is to follow my arrangements, and your boss is still in the hospital. Where do you think you’re go

Despite the endless buzz of gossip at Fairfield Hospital, one thing remained sacred: Dr. Leo, the stoic and brilliant head of the Cardiac Surgery Department, was untouchable. No one dared to say a bad word about him. Sure, the nurses whispered about his dazzling smile and his genius hands, but the juiciest bit? Apparently, Dr. Leo was still holding a candle for his ex-wife.Dan, had overheard it all. The story went like this: Leo had once been married—or almost married. There had been a beautiful wedding abroad, but the paperwork? Never filed back home. Ever since, Dr. Leo had stayed single, supposedly waiting for this mystery woman to come back. Romantic, sure. But Dan couldn’t help but wonder: What kind of woman could make this man—calm, confident, and devastatingly handsome—hold on for so long?“Dr. Leo.”The clear, melodic voice jolted Dan out of his thoughts. He turned just in time to see a stunning woman approach Dr. Leo. She looked familiar, though Dan couldn’t quite plac

Ella didn’t sleep a wink that night. Every time she closed her eyes, the haunting memories from six years ago came flooding back, vivid and unrelenting. By morning, she dragged herself out of bed, dark circles under her eyes betraying her sleepless night.As she stumbled into the kitchen, her little chatterbox, Kaia, was already bouncing around like an energizer bunny. The moment Kaia saw her, she stopped mid-bite of her toast and tilted her head. "Mommy, did you stay up late working again?"Ella gave her best “I’m totally fine” smile, though she felt far from it. “No, sweetie. Mommy just had a little trouble sleeping.”Kaia, ever the tiny detective, narrowed her eyes. "Insomnia? Is it because of Uncle Lucas again?"Before Ella could respond, her son Kai, with his all-knowing look, chimed in. "Mommy, is Uncle Lucas giving you insomnia?"Kaia gasped dramatically, her big brown eyes widening. "Huh?! Did that bad Uncle Lucas bully you again? I knew he’s a big meanie!"Ella sighed, rubb
