“Severe case of alcohol allergy. Fortunately, the patient was delivered here in time. If it was a few minutes later, she would be gone.” Grace almost fainted. “Is she going to be okay?” “We did a gastric lavage on her, so she’s in the clear for now and about to be transferred to the ward.” Grace’s anxiety finally gave way a little. Fortunately, she was alright. If anything happened to her, even if she committed the ritual suicide ‘seppuku’, it would not be enough to make up for her error
He had been sincere to Yvette. Alas, it was as if the heavens played a trick on him. Just that one time, Cyrus’s mother, Juliana Lane, actually became pregnant. After getting pregnant, she did not threaten him with the child as most women would do. Instead, she moved away quietly to the countryside and gave birth to Cyrus. When Cyrus was almost two years old, it was by chance that he met both of them on the streets. Back then, Juliana did not admit that Cyrus was his son and even said that
After Yvette passed away, the old lady brought up William and Natalie. The old lady treated the pair of siblings more closely than the rest of the grandchildren and even had the intention of handing over the position of family head to William since the beginning. If the old lady really did that, she would end up leading a miserable life at the Sandler family. Therefore, she must not face William head-on at the moment. As the saying went, tears were a woman’s greatest weapon. Juliana had alwa
Any calls from Grace in this duration would definitely be answered by William. When Grace told him on the other end of the line that Cecelia was hurt and currently in the hospital, William’s heart suddenly constricted. Although Grace kept saying Cecelia was fine and out of danger, William was still uneasy and could not care less if it was an important date for the Sandler family. He stepped forward to speak to the old lady and got ready to leave. Needless to say, the old lady was unhappy,
It had been twenty years since then, and there was not a single night he did not dream of it. The old lady sighed, “Forget it. We’ll not talk about unhappy things. If it’s urgent, you should leave now.” The corners of William’s lips curved up, and he left. When he arrived at the door, Horton and Juliana still stood there arguing with the servants. William refused to let Juliana enter, but Horton insisted on letting her in. For Juliana, he was not afraid to lose face. When the servants
To be honest, Cecelia looked forward to his answer. After all, she harbored sinful thoughts toward him. No, it was impure! That was not right either. Anyway, this man had better answer with a yes, otherwise— Humph! William did not seem to hear Cecelia’s inner thoughts, but said instead, “You heard wrong.” Cecelia pointed a finger at him, “Say that again.” “I don’t like repeating myself,” William said smugly. “Okay! If that’s the case, I did not say anything on that day either. Even
He deliberately schooled his face into a blank look and nodded, “Yes.” “I knew it!” Cecelia was exasperated. “Look at me, why am I so stupid! How could I actually forget something as important as applying for leave?” Speaking of which, Cecelia glared at the man indignantly, “I forgot to apply for leave because I was feeling unwell, what about you? Why can’t you apply on my behalf? You’re so close with the president, why didn’t you think of applying leave for me? Now that I’m fired, our famil
He said each word very slowly, and Cecelia almost died from anxiety, but he finally said, “Not busy!” Cecelia’s tightly-knitted eyebrows loosened instantly, “Then, shall we get the groceries together after work today?” “Yes.” “This friend of mine has a good appetite. We should buy more.” The two of them acted like a real couple, talking and laughing as they stepped out. The driver, who was waiting outside, saw this scene and was so excited that he was almost tempted to use his phone to
