Abel was shocked by her insanely fake act, and his eyelids twitched. After a long while, he finally said, “I think you have some sort of misunderstanding about the word, ‘gentle.’”Ruth’s smile immediately fell away. She pushed him away and stood up before leaving with a defeated expression. Even though she knew she had no talent for acting, she still felt a little sad when she heard this. It dealt a huge blow to her ego. All her hard work over the past few days was for nothing. Abel watched her leave in dejection, and his eyes shone with regret. He started reflecting on whether he had been too straightforward. When evening arrived, the sky was cloudy and dark. It looked like it was about to rain. Abel was done with his work by then. He looked at the dark clouds outside and went downstairs. It was empty downstairs. The lights were not on, which was why it was dark. The kitchen was also rather quiet. However, when Mrs. Greenwell heard him, she came out and said that dinne
Mrs. Greenwell was stunned. “Huh?”Ruth stood up and patted her on the shoulder. “I’ll increase your salary next month!”Mrs. Greenwell was dumbfounded.She looked at Ruth, who walked away confidently and disappeared at the top of the stairs, in puzzlement.Summer rain was unpredictable. The heavy rain hit the windowsill, and its irregular rhythm was distracting.In the study, a man sat at the table with a stack of documents in front of him. The clock on the wall showed that thirty minutes had passed, but he was still on the first page of the document.Abel had descended into a strange sense of uncertainty. He knew that tomorrow was not a good time to meet his parents, but, after seeing the gifts she carefully picked, he could not bear to let her down.He had never thought that he would have difficulty making decisions one day.Knock! Knock! Knock!When Abel heard the iconic knock on the door, he instantly knew who it was.It was time for his nightly coffee.When he though
“I’ve known about it for a long time. Your investment failed, and you’re heavily in debt, right?”Ruth leaned back on the chair and looked at him leisurely and calmly. “That’s why you married me?”Although it was a question, she sounded certain.She was not stupid. Although Caelus was sharp-tongued, his words were reasonable.Even though Abel belonged to an insignificant branch family of the Blakewell family, he was still a Blakewell. He should have married her hastily because he needed her help.Abel was initially panicked but then became puzzled.After hearing Ruth’s words, he was surprised. “My investment failed, and I’m heavily in debt? Where did you hear that?”“That’s not important. What’s important is that I don’t care about it! Logically speaking, your pre-marital debts have nothing to do with me, but since you’re so kind to me, I can help you pay them off.”Abel did not know how to respond.He was dumbstruck.So, she thought he was in debt and wanted to help him pay
The gift arrived as Ruth requested, and she was satisfied. However, she did not expect something to happen just before departure.She received a message that Tom Acker, an internationally renowned cardiologist, had returned to Sommerset, and he was interested in learning about George’s condition. Unfortunately, he had a busy schedule and only had time today.“It’s fine. You can go and meet him,” Abel said.Ruth turned around and said apologetically, “I’ve been trying to get in contact with this doctor for a long time. Now that he finally replied, I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”“I understand how you feel. We can go next time.” Abel supported her decision without hesitation.Ruth was touched.The more considerate he was, the more guilty she felt.However, George’s condition was complicated. She had invited many specialists, but none could find a cure. She could only put all her hopes on Tom.After a few seconds of silence, she made a decisive decision. “Take all the gift
With his special identity, Tom could enter and exit any hospital and medical institution. However, he was repeatedly blocked here.He did not need to think to know that someone had restricted people from entering and leaving the ward.A hint of surprise flashed in Ruth’s eyes. She looked at him and asked, “Are you willing to treat Grandpa, Mr. Acker?”Tom was an internationally renowned doctor. When she emailed him, she was just trying her luck.She did not receive a reply for a long time, so she planned to contact him through another method. However, he suddenly decided to come over and even proposed to make a treatment plan.Tom cocked an eyebrow and handed over a business card. “I’m interested in challenging cases, but it’s up to the patient’s family whether to transfer him to another hospital.”He was happy to do Abel a favor but could not solve the patient’s family conflicts.Based on the restrictions the Goldwell family set up, they clearly would not let Ruth transfer Geor
Callum was caught off guard, while Ruth was surprised.She thought. “I thought he would just watch us argue and do nothing. I didn’t expect him to help me.“He has a logical way of thinking and didn’t forget to agree with me!”Callum had been deliberately ignoring Tom. He wanted to make Ruth change her mind via forceful means before apologizing to him.Tom was not a busybody, so he never bothered to meddle in other people’s family affairs.That’s why Callum never expected him to help Ruth.“You—”“I’m Tom Acker. When the patient was undergoing examinations, the medical staff were not cooperative, so Miss Ruth suggested transferring the patient to another hospital,” he explained, which was something he rarely did. When the medical staff heard this, they looked away with unnatural expressions.Callum glanced at them. He withdrew his hand and casually said, “Is that true?”Tom smiled. “Don’t you know, Mr. Goldwell?”“Of course I don’t!”“The medical staff took the liberty of
Pearl had made a name for herself as a fashion blogger, but she had gained a lot of fans in the past by copying Ruth’s style. When Ruth went abroad for three years, her style became flashy, and she eventually lost her popularity.Some time ago, Ruth started frequently trending on Twitter, and she gained a lot of fans for being a beautiful rich woman.Pearl was jealous of Ruth’s popularity.She thought. “This b*tch did nothing and was scolded, yet she has more fans than me! It seriously gets on my nerves!”When she received news of Ruth refusing to pay George’s medical expenses, she did not even check whether it was true. She started a live stream and rushed to the hospital.Due to the popularity of the “beautiful rich woman,” the viewer count of her live stream soared. It got as high as when she was famous. Pearl felt sad and excited at the same time.“Sweetie, I heard you argued with someone in the hospital. What happened?” Provocation filled Pearl’s eyes, but her voice sounded
[Such things actually happen?][Is this a hospital or an illegal clinic?][The doctor has gone too far! Which hospital is it? Expose the name so that we can avoid it!][Seriously? Why can’t the patient’s family transfer the patient to another hospital? Which law stipulates this?][Ahhhh, am I the only one who thinks the doctor is handsome?!]There were many comments like this.Of course, it wasn’t just the fans who got attracted by Tom’s appearance. Pearl had been looking at Tom from the start as well.She forgot her purpose for coming and did not even hear what Ruth was saying.Her mouth was slightly opened, and obsession filled her eyes.After Ruth explained the situation concisely, she turned around and saw Pearl’s expression. She smiled and said, “Wipe your drool.”Pearl subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth. Then, she immediately came back to her senses and glared at Ruth.Ruth was not in the mood to laugh at her. She raised her hand and continued to direct her.
