The doctor and the director chatted with Mona for quite a while and wished her a speedy recovery before they left. The two men who were still fighting refused to leave. One of them sat on the couch with his magazine and the other one handed Mona a glass of water. “Susan, what was that about? The director said you did a research paper on Millie’s condition?” Victor asked. Mona replied, “When Millie’s doctor suggested surgery with high risks, I rejected it. I tried using acupuncture and herbal medicine to treat her condition and after some time, Millie’s condition got better. I guess I’m lucky.” “Susan, you’re amazing! You are a genius!” Victor spared no effort with his praises, more or less trying to flatter her. Thaddeus glanced at the two of them as they chatted. He was displeased. Bam! The magazine was slammed on the table and the noise interrupted their chat. Seeing his uncle’s reaction, Victor curled his lips in delight as if he had won the battle. He continued, “Ou

Mona did not want to spend the night at the hospital, so she asked the doctor to discharge her with some medicine. Linda was cooking at home when they came back. She came out looking surprised with the spatula in her hand. “Susan, you’re out already? Are you okay?” Victor said, “Susan can’t sleep on the hospital bed, so I brought her home. I’m here with her. It’s going to be okay.” Linda pouted. “You are just going to follow whatever she says? This is messed up.” “It’s okay, Linda. I feel a lot better after the drip,” Mona said as she patted Linda’s hand. She then looked at Victor and said, “You can go back now. Thank you for today.” Victor showed no intention of leaving. He asked, “Susan, how did my uncle know that you are sick? And how did he arrive so fast and bring you to the hospital?” “Victor, are you trying to question Susan? If you have questions about your uncle, why don’t you go ask him? How would Susan know? Are you suspecting that Susan called him here? “B

“Susan is not a mistress! Both she and Victor have known each other since high school! You are the mistress. Your whole family is a mistress!” Linda scolded Isabel as she bolted up. She continued, “You can’t keep your man to yourself, yet you are blaming Susan? Victor has two legs and can go wherever he wants. It’s not like we are forcing him with a knife at his neck. “Besides, please understand the situation before you want to hold us responsible. It’s Victor who has been chasing after Susan, from high school until now. Susan can’t even shake him off. Wake up, lady!” Linda’s anger built up as she continued, “Victor is also a jerk! What the hell? Why is he trying to act like he’s loyal in front of everyone?” Mona calmed Linda down and said calmly, “Linda, calm down. Sit down and catch a breath.” “Ms. Graham, may I ask how long have you been with Victor?” “A month.” Isabel wore an arrogant look at Mona. She then added, “But we are planning to get married soon. His mother lik

“It hasn’t been too long ago,” Isabel said. She noticed the expression on her brother’s face and realized that Thaddeus was interested in her relationship with Victor. He wanted to know more. “Victor and my sister were on a blind date a while ago, and they have been progressing smoothly since then. Our parents and Victor’s mother were already discussing the wedding, so we’re going to be family soon.” Thaddeus grinned. “I guess you’re right. Victor is not young anymore, and my sister is ill. We should really fix his marriage as soon as possible.” Isabel heard Thaddeus, and she assumed that he had acknowledged her as a part of the family. She stepped up and said meekly, “I also wanted to marry Victor as soon as possible, but there’s an obstacle in the way, and I’m trying to remove it. Mr. Fontaine, you’re a senior to Victor. Can I ask you to guide him the right way? We’re both the perfect match for each other, unlike some other woman outside who is just a temporary thrill.” She

Thaddeus’ words silenced both Isabel and Brock. They finally realized that Thaddeus was on Mona’s side instead of theirs. How could they win against the man? While Mona was no one, the man beside her was someone they could not afford to offend!The brother and sister were forced to concede the battle and gave Mona a cheque worth a hundred thousand. They then left bitterly. After settling the problem, Mona could finally relax her mind. Her temples swelled while her head buzzed and the lingering fever made her dizzy. She started to lose her balance. “Susan, you look terrible. Are you okay? Let’s go back inside.” Linda wanted to bring her back inside, but Thaddeus carried her with both arms and entered her apartment. Linda was left behind. She watched as the man carried the woman inside. His broad back and the petite figure in his arms formed a drastic contrast. The scene resembled that of a romance movie. She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, pondering. “The
