Louie didn't even get a chance to read Gregory's expression before he saw him slam the glass of water down on the table and stride straight toward Anathea's ward.Louie shook his head with a sigh. "Some couples fight using money. These two fight with their lives."Anathea was already sitting up, gazing out the window. The night was pitch-black, with only a handful of scattered stars dotting the sky.The door to the ward burst open with a loud thud, and Gregory strode in.His eyes went straight to the untouched food on the table and the bowl of soup, which had already gone cold. Rage instantly surged through his chest.He closed his eyes for a moment and told the nurse to reheat the soup.The nurse was so frightened by the dark look on his face that she nearly wished she had rockets on her shoes. She rushed off to warm the soup and quickly brought it back, setting it down in front of Anathea.She whispered carefully, "Mrs. Sinclair, please at least drink the soup. Your health mat

Louie rushed forward to catch Gregory, who was on the verge of collapsing. His eyes turned red-rimmed."What's with the doom and gloom? Didn't we already expect this?" Gregory's pale lips curved into the faintest hint of a smile. "Relax. I'm not dying yet."Still, he gripped Louie's hand tightly and said seriously, "Don't tell Annie about this.""Gregory Sinclair!" Louie nearly exploded. "Why not go all the way and keep it from me too? That way I can just show up later to collect your damn corpse!""Wouldn't be the worst idea.""You dickhead!" Louie snapped, blinking back tears.Gregory gave him a silent pat on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.After cleaning the blood off himself, Gregory was dragged by Louie for a proper checkup. As they walked down the corridor, they ran into Theo, who was holding a bouquet of fresh flowers.Theo froze for a second when he saw Gregory. It had only been a few days, yet Gregory looked noticeably thinner. He was even leaning against Louie f

Theo froze. "Does that mean… you agreed?"He didn't even realize it himself, but his voice trembled with excitement as he looked at Anathea eagerly. For a moment, he doubted if he had seen it right.But Anathea nodded again, confirming that she had agreed. She needed his help to break free from this prison.Overwhelmed, Theo covered his mouth in excitement. But he quickly glanced outside the ward. Seeing no sign of Gregory, he breathed a small sigh of relief.Knowing Gregory's temperament, if he found out Anathea was determined to leave, he would probably lose it on the spot. There was no way Theo could let that happen.So Theo lowered his voice and told Anathea, "I'll figure out a way to arrange everything in the coming days. You just need to eat well and get your strength back. Trust me. I'll help you get out of here.""Thank you, Theo," Anathea said seriously."Oh, don't say that. I'm happy to do it." Theo smiled.He was elated. Anathea finally needed his help. That meant sh

Dominic left Anathea's ward as the evening was settling in.At that moment, Louie and Adrian were just coming out of Gregory's ward, and the three of them happened to cross paths.Adrian greeted Dominic first. "Mr. Lancaster."Dominic nodded, then turned to Louie with a brief instruction. "Please take good care of Ms. Jacobson."Louie looked puzzled. But before he could ask more, Dominic had already strode off."Was he telling me to take care of Anathea?" Louie blinked, confused. "On what grounds is he saying that to me?"Adrian shook his head. He wasn't sure either. As far as he knew, Anathea and Dominic weren't exactly close.Now that Dominic had donated blood and successfully renewed the partnership with Sinclair Group, he had no reason to come back."That's weird," Adrian said, watching Dominic's retreating figure."Of course it's weird," Louie muttered with his arms crossed. "Anathea and Dominic barely know each other. How would they even have anything to talk about?"Su

"What?" Louie looked puzzled."You really think I can't tell you're mocking me?" Giselle's expression darkened.Louie drew in a breath before replying evenly, "You're the one who said that we have nothing to do with each other. We're just strangers. So why would I mock you?"Giselle was momentarily silenced by her own words being thrown back at her. She kept a straight face and said nothing.Louie glanced at her from the corner of his eye. After a beat, he offered a word of advice. "Next time you pick a boyfriend, keep your eyes open. Don't fall for scumbags again. Look at the kind of guy you ended up with."Giselle froze. She parted her lips as if to say something, but Louie had already stood up and walked off with his hands in his pockets, leaving her staring at his retreating back.She stared at him until he disappeared around the corner. When she looked away, a flicker of complex emotion passed through her gaze.A moment later, she let out a long breath. Her tone was tinged
