After entering the observation room, Talia saw Henry lying flat on the hospital bed. He appeared to be asleep.But his sleep wasn't deep. He opened his eyes when he heard the faint sound of movement.When he saw that it was Talia, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes at being caught in such a state. He tried to sit up, but Talia quickly pressed down on his hand. "Henry, don't move around."Nevertheless, Henry still pushed himself to sit up. Leaning against the bed frame, he looked at Talia, a bitter smile playing on his lips. "You've caught me at my worst."Talia's eyes reddened. She lowered her gaze and asked, "Why would you say that? It's because of me that you—"Henry interrupted her. "Did Christian go to see you?"Talia gave a faint acknowledgment. "Yes."Henry's hand was in a cast, and there were bruises on his face, though they had faded considerably. He had wanted to avoid Talia, but she'd still seen him in this miserable state.Henry smiled faintly and asked in a

Talia looked down at her daughter, who was rushing toward her. Her heart stirred, but because her hands were full of bags, she only coaxed gently, "Alright. I'll go make you something to eat."Although Yvonne had hurt her more than once, the bond between mother and daughter couldn't be erased.After Yvonne steadied herself, she eagerly reached for the grocery bags in Talia's hands. "Mommy, let me help you carry them."The grocery bags were rather heavy. Not wanting to burden her, Talia refused. "You go play. I can handle it."But Yvonne insisted, tugging at the bag of fruit. "Mommy, my teacher said we should help with chores at home. I don't want you to work so hard."Hearing these words, Talia frowned slightly. If the old Yvonne had said this, she would have been delighted. She would have stroked her daughter's face and said that she had grown up.But at that moment, Talia only felt disoriented, as if none of this were real.After standing there stunned for a few seconds, Yvonn

Christian used his sleeve to wipe the blood and dirt from Nancy's hand. At the same time, he lowered his head and gently blew on the injured area.Nancy furrowed her brow, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. Her pitiful appearance melted Christian's heart.He looked at her with concern, his voice gentle as he asked, "Does it still hurt?"Nancy pressed her lips together and shook her head. "I'm fine, Chris. It doesn't hurt that much."Christian helped her up. "Let me help you inside. We'll disinfect it with rubbing alcohol."Tears rolled down Nancy's cheeks. "Chris, I'm so useless. I can't even help Julian."Christian gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "It's not your fault. You've already done so well."Nancy still blamed herself. "I'm a doctor too. Henry and I graduated from the same school, but I don't have the skill to perform this surgery."Otherwise, I wouldn't need to beg anyone. Chris, I'm so useless."Christian reached up and ruffled the top of Na

Talia lowered her head, her thoughts churning as a thousand emotions surged in her heart. She felt inexplicably oppressed and wronged.Without warning, her nose tingled and tears threatened to fall, but she forced them back. Biting her lip hard, Talia managed not to cry.Both she and Henry studied medicine, so they naturally understood that saving lives was their duty. She knew Henry well. Even if none of these people came to ask her, he would definitely perform the surgery for Eliza.But precisely because everyone had come begging, she was even less inclined to give in to their requests. Why should she do whatever they asked? How could they recklessly destroy someone's life?Henry was clearly the biggest victim of this situation. So why hadn't Julian come to apologize? Why were all these uninvolved people coming to pressure her instead?Even though Franklin, the person in the Lane family who treated her best, stood before her now, she didn't soften in the slightest. She only said

After Henry performed the surgery, no one came to bother Talia anymore. Her life gradually returned to normal.Three days passed. That day, Talia got off work early and thought about heading back to the Stewart residence to prepare dinner for her family.After spending half an hour in the kitchen, she had all the ingredients prepared when Maeve came home."Aunt Talia, I brought in your package for you!" Maeve called out loudly from the living room toward the kitchen.Hearing this, Talia emerged from the kitchen. She saw Maeve placing a delivery box on the dining table. The packaging was exquisite. It was clearly Quentin's handiwork.Recently, because of Henry's situation, she'd completely forgotten about Quentin. She kept reassuring herself that a man like him had only been interested on a whim, and that once enough time passed, he'd naturally forget what he'd said.But nearly ten days had passed, and he was still sending things to her house. Talia couldn't help wondering whether
