Semua Bab Side Chick Era… Over: Bab 1561 - Bab 1570

Wendy had spent the past two days dragging Sharon around the city, trying every possible way to lift her spirits. Sharon had laughed along obediently, but Wendy knew it was a forced smile. She wasn't truly happy—she simply didn't want to disappoint Wendy's efforts.Perhaps from a chill or sheer exhaustion from overwork, the tension Sharon had carried for so long finally unraveled, and she fell ill. Her fever raged through the entire night. It wasn't until the next day, when Wendy couldn't find Sharon anywhere, that she realized something was seriously wrong.Panicked, she rushed Sharon to the hospital.Coincidentally, at that moment, Xavier had just finished handling matters with his grandmother and returned to Marcentine with Matty. Upon learning the situation, Xavier immediately hurried to the hospital.Seeing him arrive, Wendy's frayed nerves finally settled somewhat. She had been so worried she almost called Thomas, but she knew now wasn't the right time for the two of them to

Wendy froze for a moment.She murmured to herself, "Thomas? Or Carter?"She glanced at the time. Carter hadn't left Marcentine yet. Since Thomas had departed, Carter had tried visiting Sharon a few times, but Sharon had been too busy dealing with Lex and had refused. At this hour, disturbing his sleep seemed inappropriate.Yet, Wendy recalled how Carter had once left in the dead of night for Kelly without hesitation. She figured there was no need to be polite now. Pulling out her phone, she was about to call Carter.Just as she dialed, Xavier suddenly said, "Are you sure she said 'Carter' and not 'Thomas'?"Wendy froze. A wave of uncertainty washed over her.If it wasn't Carter… then it had to be Thomas.Xavier's gaze lingered on Sharon, complex and unreadable.At that moment, Carter answered the phone. His voice, slightly drowsy, came through."Wendy? Why are you calling at this hour? Did something happen to Sharon?"Wendy pressed her lips together. "Sharon has a fever. Co

Julliard's eyes were dark, heavy with suppressed gloom and icy resolve. Yet, his voice was unusually soft and gentle."Do you remember Kelly? She used to lie a lot, deceiving both you and your dad. In reality, Kelly was sent by Thomas to sabotage your mom and dad. All the times he saved you? That was just him orchestrating a show, a performance to make himself the hero. Even the time you were kidnapped by Kelly was arranged by Thomas too. His goal was to remove you and your dad so no one would stand in his way with your mom."Julliard let out a quiet sigh."I know… you probably won't believe me. If you don't, you can ask your dad. Or… you can ask your mom too."Theo's face turned pale.Julliard even said he could ask Mom and Dad… Could it really be true that Thomas…?At that moment, a cheerful voice echoed down the corridor."Julliard! What a coincidence!"Both Julliard and Theo looked up to see Denise returning with dinner in hand.Seeing her, Julliard's expression softened i

Theo stayed by Sharon's side, chatting with her quietly.Her body was still weak, and by around ten in the evening, she began to struggle to keep herself upright. Noticing this, Theo said tenderly, "Mom, you should sleep now. If anything happens, just call me."Sharon nodded, a faint smile on her lips. "Theo, when you feel sleepy, have Wendy take over.""Okay, Mom," Theo replied obediently.…In the middle of the night, after yawning for the sixth time, Theo's phone finally vibrated softly. His eyes lit up as he grabbed it—it was a message from Thomas.Thomas: [Theo, is Sharon asleep?]Theo: [Mom is asleep, and Wendy went to the next room to rest. It's just me in the room now. Thomas, where are you?]Thomas: [I'm at the door. Open it for me.]A grin spread across Theo's face. He glanced at Sharon—she was sleeping peacefully—and tiptoed to the door.He gently opened it, revealing a tall, silent figure standing just outside the room. It was Thomas, someone he hadn't seen in a

Carmen's voice carried a cold clarity, edged with urgency."Why has Thomas suddenly disappeared? Has his condition worsened? If Dr. Mannekin can't handle it, I can personally treat him myself."Doug replied, "Carmen, there's no need to worry. Mr. Ferrero is fine. He… he just went to Marcentine for a while and didn't have time to notify us."There was a brief silence on the other end.Then the woman asked, "Does it have something to do with Sharon?"Doug hesitated. "Nothing serious. It's just… Sharon is sick. Mr. Ferrero was worried, so he went to check on her."Another long pause followed. Doug didn't know what else to say.Finally, she spoke again. "As long as he's fine… he shouldn't be in Marcentine for too long. Ask Dr. Mannekin to wait. I've already sent the follow-up treatment plan to Dr. Mannekin—so Thomas's medical team can evaluate and monitor the next steps."Doug's gratitude was sincere. "Carmen, thank you."She let out a quiet sigh. "I owe him this much. Now that I
