Everly did not know what to say and simply looked at him with tears rolling down her face."Is it because he saved you? Or is it because he is willing to die for you?" The sadness and discontentment were overwhelming in his eyes as he said, "Don't you know I can do that, too, Everly?"No one knew how difficult the things he had to do were when he snuck her into Strandia. He had to find a legitimate excuse to admit her into the best hospital in Strandia and to locate the best medication at all costs to cure her.Everly spent endless sleepless nights in that hospital, but so did he. When she was suffering from side effects from the medication, he remained by her side day and night and suffered alongside her.He was sent back to Strandia to handle the family business for months for her sake.His family had been unhappy about Austin's actions. Though they were unsure what he was doing, they knew that everything he had done so far was more than simply spending money.Hence, this dange

The sakura accessory was swaying. When she got it from Austin, he said that the accessory symbolized his feelings for her. It symbolized hope.It was not until today that Everly remembered that sakura had another meaning, pure love.Yet she was too despicable to be worthy of it.It was still raining outside the window, and the world seemed to have turned a depressing shade of gray.Everly sat alone in the ward filled with the color white and sobbed quietly, while Austin remained standing outside the ward for a long while.Unlike his furious state earlier, he appeared exceptionally calm. All the emotions he had felt in the past few days were drained from him, leaving nothing but emptiness behind.He stood for a long time but did not look inside at Everly in fear of caving in.Buzz…Suddenly, his phone started buzzing. He looked away to take out his phone and noticed his secretary's name on the screen.After a moment of thought, he picked up the call and said, "What is it?""Mi

"How do you know I won't?" Austin straightened his neck to appear fiercer as he said, "As long as she can be rid of you, I will do anything!"Carson continued to look at him calmly, as though he was looking at a minor, just like he did many times before.Austin felt humiliated. The look he got from Carson was familiar and it reminded him that Everly treated him differently from Carson. It was a constant reminder that Everly and Carson were meant to be, and he was nothing but a useless outsider."Austin, I remember the first summer after you came back from overseas. That was the first time I brought her to meet you. I used to take her to all sorts of gatherings back then, but all of them were attended by people we knew. That was the first time I brought her to a gathering with someone she didn't know without warning." Carson said.Carson studied the rage on Austin's face and continued calmly, "Our families have been friends. I was even there at your first birthday party, so technica

"Ha!" Austin sneered. "Tell me what he's given, then. I would very much like to see if what he gave was really that impressive!"Robbie looked at Austin with sorrowful eyes and remained quiet for three seconds before saying, "I'm sorry, Mister Samberg, I can't tell you.""Ha!" Austin sneered sarcastically. "Don't try to fool me with vague excuses."'He's saying Carson gave as much as I did? That I can't imagine what he sacrificed? Robbie works for Carson, and he wouldn't be here stopping me without Carson's command! All this has to be Carson's scheme. It has to be!' Austin thought to himself."Stop playing good cop bad cop here!" Austin smirked and said, "This will only make me look down on him."With that, Austin left furiously.Robbie remained standing alone and watched as Austin left before sighing a long breath.Austin turned around the corner hurriedly and stopped. He looked at his phone and decided not to make the phone call in the end."He's trying to provoke me so that

"What are you doing, Mister Davidson? How can Mister Baxter understand you if you don't clarify your intentions?" Robbie kept a certain distance and attempted to ease the tension."Stop playing games with me!" Richard roared, "Carson Baxter, if you like Violet, why flirt with my sister Lissy? Don't you know that she's in love with you?""You can't say that, Mister Davidson. Mister Baxter had rejected Miss Davidson long ago, and it was her that told Mister Baxter that she would treat him as a friend. Mister Baxter did not keep a distance from her simply because Miss Davidson once saved Oliver. You can't possibly blame Mister Baxter for this!"Carson never gave Alice any hope to begin with because everyone knew that Carson only loved Everly. The hope they spoke of was nothing but pure imagination generated by Alice's foolish mind."Bullshit!" Furious, Richard took a few long strides forward towards Carson's wheelchair before grabbing the handle and turning him around by force. He sta
