The atmosphere turned cheerful as Mrs. Harper invited everyone to take their seats, and the next thing on the agenda was planning their wedding.Eugene Harper was in an exceptionally good mood tonight, having had quite a bit of alcohol. Fortunately, Anastasia Hansom managed to stop him, and with the children around, he couldn't be too wild."Seeing you all settled down, Shengsheng and I should also start planning. We'll aim for both of you to have your weddings at the same time," Anastasia Hansom said with a smile. "This has always been what Shengsheng and I looked forward to most."Hearing this, Eugene Harper warned, "Bevis Benedict, you better hurry up. Don't hold us back when the time comes."Bevis Benedict laughed, "Don't worry, I've never held you back. We might even be faster than you in our preparations. It's your grand, century-long wedding that's taking so much time.""I want to wait until Chaochao is free, and then we can have a three-day, three-night celebration anytime

Yuan Shengsheng's expression was serious, and her words were even more resolute, leaving Bevis Benedict, who had been full of hope, utterly shocked. He simply could not understand why two people in love always faced obstacles.Seeing the hurt on Bevis Benedict's face, Yuan Shengsheng explained, "Actually, whether we get married or not, I will still be by your side."Bevis Benedict couldn't comprehend this: "How can it be the same? I sincerely want to marry you, but you keep stepping back. I'm doing this because I have no other choice."When these words were spoken, Yuan Shengsheng also seemed at a loss. Both knew they genuinely loved each other, yet they were stuck on this point.Perhaps it was because too many things had built up inside, and when certain issues were touched upon, they were triggered, making it impossible for Bevis Benedict to control himself.Yuan Shengsheng shook her head, her expression extremely helpless. She repeated, "I'm really sorry, but I just can't do it

Anastasia Hansom and Bevis Benedict were unable to calm down. Eugene Harper took out the phone from Anastasia Hansom's bag; they needed to confirm whether the person the onlookers had just seen was indeed her.Anastasia Hansom quickly found the clearest photo of Yuan Shengsheng to show them."Please take a look, could you carefully check if this is the woman who jumped into the sea just now?"Anastasia Hansom prayed that the answer would not be what she feared, but the onlookers nodded firmly, confirming their sighting."The person we saw was her. The lifeguards nearby have already gone for the rescue, and as you can see, the maritime search and rescue team is also looking for her."Following their gaze, they indeed saw the rescue team, which caused Bevis Benedict to completely lose control.Bevis Benedict, who had been suppressing his emotions throughout, fell into a state of collapse upon hearing this news. He couldn't understand how his proposal could have driven Yuan Shengshe

With the conversation having reached this point, even with a thick skin, Mr. Benedict could not possibly stay any longer and had to nod in agreement."Then I'll have to trouble you to give me a ride."Anastasia Hansom had expected him to refuse, so his direct agreement came as a surprise. She politely led him out and asked the driver to meet them at the door.In the car, there was an awkward silence. Anastasia Hansom also felt that Mr. Benedict's appearance today seemed somewhat unusual. Was he really here just to check the accounts? And why did he agree to let her drive him back? This piqued her curiosity."Congratulations on becoming Mrs. Harper. Don't forget to invite me for a drink when you hold your wedding.""Since Mr. Benedict has specifically mentioned it, of course, we will invite you."Mr. Benedict nodded in satisfaction. Seeing the route the car was taking, he suddenly spoke up, "The road I took earlier was a bit congested. Turn left and take another route."Mr. Bened

Anastasia Hansom managed to defuse the near-incident between doctor and patient, calming the patient's family before sending them off to gather more information, promising to address the matter again later. Dr. Liu, an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner at Benedict Hospital known for his amiable nature and lack of enemies, felt sore all over after being tugged by the two patients. "Dr. Su, it's a good thing you intervened in time; I don't know what could have happened otherwise," he said. "Dr. Liu, you’re too kind. In the future, if you encounter difficult families, call security immediately. Your safety is paramount. Go back and rest now; don't overexert yourself." With Bevis Benedict absent, Anastasia Hansom was determined to oversee everything at the hospital to prevent any mishaps. Gratefully nodding, Dr. Liu allowed a nurse to accompany him as he went to tidy up, with arrangements made for a hospital driver to take him home safely. Only after handling these matt
