Just as she was wondering what had happened, the door on the opposite side of the Konstantine’s house swung open. A middle-aged woman poked her head out and offered Vivian a kind smile. She said, “Are you looking for the Konstantins? I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. Madam Konstantin was picked up by the ambulance this morning.” Vivian turned over to face the woman. However, before she could ask anything, the woman shook her head and sighed. “Her son passed away in a car crash last y
They found Madam Konstantin in the third hospital. The old lady had suffered a stroke. She had had a stroke in the past, and this time, it hit her even worse when she heard about the death of her granddaughter. Even though the doctor managed to rescue her from the clutches of death, her condition was not promising. When Vivian arrived, the old lady was still in a coma. A person who seemed to be her relative sat on a chair beside her bed. When the relative saw Vivian, she asked, “Is there anyth
Vivian was exceedingly calm. In a short period of time, she had come up with countless methods on how to get rid of the pea-sized embryo inside of her. However, just as she was contemplating which method she should use, a voice popped up in her mind. There was a better way to use the little pea inside of her. She intended to use it as her bargaining chip to get what she wanted from Edward, and then she would get rid of it in front of him. The thought was getting stronger and stronger to the
With a calm face, she raised her head and asked, “So, am I still not allowed to return to work?” “Just consider these two days as a break from work. We’ll discuss your work later on,” he replied, holding her gaze. “I’ve consulted the doctor. He said you might be having some cold symptoms during the early stage of your pregnancy, so you mustn’t simply take any medicine.“ Truth be told, Edward did not expect such obedience from her. He looked at her with a strange expression for a while befor
Joan Konstantin had indeed regained consciousness except she couldn’t move at all. She couldn’t even speak. Vivian rushed towards her but stopped at the doorway of her ward. Then, she turned around and shot Edward, who had been following closely behind her, an icy glare. Edward was momentarily taken aback before he understood what she meant. He curled his lips in self-mockery and stopped at the doorway. “I’ll wait for you outside,” he calmly said.Vivian walked in on her own. She stood at the s
Joan didn’t provide any further reactions. She closed her eyes in exhaustion, displaying an ashen look on her face. Vivian also didn’t say anything to disturb her any more. She looked at the Konstantin relative, then waved at her after a bout of hesitation, motioning for her to step outside for a private conversation.The relative was already filled with suspicion when she watched the exchange between Joan and Vivian. She followed Vivian out since she had asked for her. Once the pair stepped ou
Edward did not react at first, as if he didn’t hear her clearly. He raised his brows ever so slightly and simply stared at her in a daze.Vivian smirked and asked, “Are you stupefied from happiness?”He had been hoping that she would get pregnant and that she would give him a child so that she would never be able to sever ties from him. To achieve this, he had come up with a hundred different schemes, sweet-talking her continuously, and even resorting to ridiculous methods like piercing the co
Vivian was surprised. She turned around and shot Edward, who was sitting quietly by the side, an astonished look. He wore a deadpan expression on his face as he chimed in apathetically, “This constitutes a crime. You can’t just settle it privately on a whim. However, if the other party can afford to provide adequate compensation and gain understanding from the victim’s family members, the sentence will be lenient.”“I see.” The Konstantins’ relatives nodded, seeming to understand his statement
