From the Military

Theron looked at her pale face-so pale it looked almost transparent-and something in his chest twisted violently."I'm sorry," he said, his voice low. "I'm late."Scarlett pressed her lips together, forcing strength into her tone."I don't need your apology. I-"Her vision suddenly blurred.Everything went black.Her body tilted backward."Lettie!" Marie rushed forward to catch her.But before she could reach her, a hand was already there.Theron caught Scarlett and pulled her into his arms.His grip was firm but impossibly careful, like he was holding something fragile that might break if he used even slightly too much force. His palm supported her waist, steadying her completely.Scarlett's lashes trembled as she struggled to stay conscious."I don't need your help... I can-""Stop talking," Theron cut her off. "You're seriously injured. I'm taking you to the hospital.""Let go of me!" she tried to push him away

Wife Of The Family Head

Steve looked at the person in his arms. A girl, her face covered by a suit jacket.Thinking of what Julian had said yesterday-that Theron had broken things off with Scarlett-his usually gentle expression turned slightly cold."Sorry, Mr. Cross. Everyone must wait in line."Before he could finish, Howard rushed back inside."How is my Boss?""Boss?"Steve's eyes shifted again toward the woman in Theron's arms."...She's Scarlett?""Save her!" Theron 's voice was ice-cold, urgency boiling beneath it."Bring her to my room!" Steve immediately changed his tone.Theron placed her gently on the bed. His tightly furrowed brows showed nothing but pain.Steve picked up a pair of scissors-but before he could act, Theron stopped him."What are you doing?""I need to cut her pants to treat the wound," Steve explained."I'll do it."Theron took the scissors and carefully cut away the fabric around her injury. The moment h

Take Responsibility

Soon, the food was delivered.After a quick wash-up, Theron picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful, and tested the temperature."Perfect. You can eat it now."Scarlett looked at the spoon-and at his lips, which still had traces of congee on them.Something about the scene felt... strange."Thank you," she said, reaching out for the bowl."You're injured. I'll feed you," he said flatly."My injury is on my leg, not my hand.""Same thing."He brought the spoon toward her.Scarlett: "..."What kind of logic is that?She really wanted to roll her eyes at him. If he wanted to feed her, at least come up with a more believable excuse."I'll do it myself." She took the bowl and spoon from him.But as she looked at the spoonful of congee, she froze.He had just used it.That meant-Indirect kiss.If she got another spoon, it would look like she was overthinking it. But if she ate this one, wasn't that e

Obsession

Theron walked out with a chilling aura.Rhys looked at his back and silently mourned for Julian in advance.That guy was either going to die today...or lose a layer of skin.At the gate, Julian was already waiting.The moment he saw Theron, he rushed forward and dropped to his knees instantly."Uncle! I was wrong! I deserve to die! I really didn't know! I thought you had already dumped her-so I-""So you decided to touch her?" Theron cut in, his voice ice-cold.The pressure around him dropped instantly.Julian's body started shaking uncontrollably."Uncle, I didn't know-I didn't know anything! I'm your nephew! She's fine now anyway, so please... just let me go this once!""Fine?" Theron's eyes narrowed dangerously.In the next second-He kicked him.Hard.Julian flew backward, hitting the ground with a scream of pain.His shoulder felt like it was splitting apart."She was in that condition," Thero

Darrel's Question

Three days later.Scarlett was finally able to get out of bed.The room was covered in soft carpets now, so walking barefoot felt comfortable.Strangely enough, when she first arrived, there hadn't been any carpets at all. Now, every floor was covered in them-especially in her room, where the carpet was noticeably thicker and softer."You're up already?"Theron walked in carrying a bowl of freshly made chicken soup."I'm fine now. I can walk on my own." Scarlett shifted her feet slightly."The doctor said you need at least a week of bed rest."Before she could finish, Theron strode over, lifted her into his arms, and carried her back to the bed.Once again, he set her down gently.She glanced at the soup, then at him.Over the past few days, both Theron and little Theo had taken turns taking care of her-bringing her food, protein shakes, vitamins... nonstop. At this rate, she felt like she was going to be force-fed into immobili

Fake Boyfriend

Theron leaned forward, his face inches from hers. His eyes were deep, unwavering."I'd wait for you to exist."Thump.Something in her chest skipped violently.Her breath tangled slightly.The reaction annoyed her more than she wanted to admit, so she quickly turned her head away and grabbed her bowl of chicken soup, eating one spoonful after another.Theron watched her quietly, clearly enjoying the way she tried-and failed-to hide her reaction."Theron..." Scarlett finally muttered, "can you stop staring at me? It's affecting my appetite."This man looked like he had glued his eyes to her."I don't mind you staring back," Theron said lazily. "I'm all yours. Look however you want."Scarlett went silent.Forget it. Talking to him was pointless....A few days passed.At the Hayes family dining table, the atmosphere was heavy.No one had much appetite.Everyone kept glancing toward the door.Finally,

Caught Lying

That evening, Scarlett brought Theo and Theron to the small Monroe residence.Amy was delighted the moment she saw him."Oh, Theron! Eat more, don't be shy!" she said warmly, serving him a piece of meat.Theron?Louie felt a strange twitch every time he heard that name.If his mother knew this "Theron" was actually the CEO of the Cross Corp, he wondered what her reaction would be.Before he could finish that thought-"Thank you, Mom," Theron said naturally.Louie's fork slipped. The food dropped straight back into his plate.Even Scarlett looked at him speechlessly.They weren't even officially anything yet, and he was already calling her "Mom"?This man really had no shame."Lettie, you don't like bitter melon, right?" Amy said as she placed a piece into her plate. "It's very good for your health. Eat one today."Scarlett stared at the green vegetable like it was a threat.Her face turned almost the same color.

A Spy

Friday.Scarlett took Theo to the hospital for vaccinations."Mommy, I need the bathroom," the little boy said."It's right ahead. Go on. I'll wait here.""Okay!"Theo turned the corner-and collided straight into someone.He fell hard onto the floor.Before he could get up, a sharp voice rang above him."Where did this kid come from? No eyes?! He just ran into Professor Joe!"The woman-Pamela-was spitting with anger, completely unconcerned that he was just a child.The man she called Professor Joe glanced down at Theo with cold disdain, brushing off his coat as if the boy had dirtied him."Don't you know how to apologize?" Pamela snapped, hands on her hips. "Didn't your parents teach you manners? Apologize!"Theo sat on the ground, stunned.At that moment-footsteps approached quickly.Scarlett arrived.The second she saw her son sitting on the floor, her expression darkened instantly."Are yo

Useless Girl

The security team captain turned his head-and froze at the scene."Deputy Minister, what happened to you?"Before Leomord could even say anything, his eyes met Scarlett's calm, unreadable gaze.Just one look.And his knees almost gave out.Scarlett gave him a subtle glance-barely noticeable-clearly signaling him not to reveal her identity.Leomord immediately understood. He remembered Howard's earlier instructions.The captain called again, confused. "Deputy Minister Leo? Deputy Minister Leo?""Ah? Oh-right, I'm fine," Leomord said quickly, forcing himself to stay calm. "Just... my hand slipped. Handle your case.""Alright." The captain nodded, then turned to his men. "Arrest her."The moment those words came out-Leomord's phone slipped from his hand and hit the ground again.Cold sweat poured down his back instantly.He swallowed hard."You're just going to arrest her like that? Aren't you even going to ask what

Alive

Scarlett checked the time.She still had to get home and make dinner for Theo.And Theron couldn't handle spicy food at all...So she decided to make two pots of soup-one creamy and mild for him, and one spicy for herself."I'm done here. I've got other things to take care of," she said, getting to her feet and heading for the door first.As they followed after her, Leomord glanced at the security captain, who was drenched in sweat.It reminded him of himself not long ago.Back when he first discovered who Scarlett really was...He'd looked exactly the same.Leomord patted him on the shoulder."Man... I feel bad for you."The captain forced out a bitter laugh."Deputy Minister, you should've warned me sooner! I almost had a heart attack!""How was I supposed to warn you?" Leomord shot back helplessly. "She told me to keep her identity secret. You think I've got a death wish?""I thought she was your relative."
