"Thank you, Liam, but that's not necessary. I've told my husband and he said that he'll drive me there."On the day when Laura received the invitation, she told Chris about the lecture. He then said that he would give her a lift to the lecture.Liam's eyes darkened when he heard those words, but he quickly smiled and continued, "Are you free this lunchtime, Laura? Do you want to have lunch together? We haven't had lunch together for ages. I just happen to want to talk to you about professional knowledge."Laura opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, a deep male voice sounded from outside the convenience store. "No, she's not free. If you have any questions, then you can ask Google."A man in a black suit walked into the store. He had a tall figure and a handsome face. His slender hands hung on either side of him. Laura immediately saw the cuff links on his wrists."These are the cuff links I bought you, right? I told you they would look great on you."Chris nodded s

In order to not make things too obvious, Chris made the medicinal supplements into drinks and would give a small bottle to Laura every morning and afternoon."This drink actually tastes quite nice. Your boss treats you so well. He actually prepares in the morning and afternoon for you."Chris leaned against the counter of the convenience store and looked at Laura. He made a note of Laura's compliments in his mind and nodded seriously. "Yes, he definitely treats us well. I'm lucky to be able to work in this company.""But the drinks are limited, right? What are you going to do if you've given the drinks to me?" Laura looked at the bottle in her hand which contained the medicinal supplements."I've got more. The drinks might be limited to other employees, but I'm the CEO's assistant. I don't have any limits.""That's good then."After all, the drink actually did taste good."By the way, I've got something to show you." After finishing the drink in her hand, she took out a small ba

After coming out of Dr. Lister's office, Laura looked exhausted.Chris tried a few times to comfort Laura, but he knew that no words could comfort Laura now. All he could do was stay by her side quietly."Chris, Dr. Lister said that Grandma's operation would still take a while. Can you come with me to buy something for Dr. Lister?""Okay." Chris nodded.Laura had bought quite a lot of things for Dr. Lister, but he refused to accept anything. In the end, Laura had to leave the things in his office and run off with Chris.In the past, when Linda was in hospital, Dr. Lister had helped her out quite a lot. Now, he was worried about Linda as well. Laura would feel guilty if she didn't do anything for Dr. Lister.Laura and Chris arrived outside the operating room.Shona was tired of standing, so she was resting on a bench.Seeing Chris, she opened her mouth and was about to stand up, but in the end, she decided to remain seated.Nicholas, however, locked gazes with Chris for a whole

"Don't you know how to respect your elders? How could you eat by yourselves?" Shona sat up on the sofa and reached out to point at Laura and Chris.Laura didn't move. She kept her head lowered and looked at the dishes on the table. Chris, on the other hand, raised his head and gave Shona an indifferent look.Every time when Shona looked at Chris in the eyes, fear would rise in her heart.She subconsciously took back the hand she was using to point at Chris and Laura. She then turned to look away.She swallowed and then pulled a chair to sit by the table."Why are there only two sets of cutlery? Where are mine?"No one answered her question.Shona was at a loss for words.If it had been in the past, if Laura treated her like this, Shona would have exploded in anger. However, with Chris around, Shona didn't dare do anything over the top. She looked around and was about to reach for the set of cutlery prepared for Linda.Laura pursed her lips, put down the cutlery in her hands, a

The second critical blow for Linda was that it was the day that she was paid her pension as well. She was prepared to withdraw her pension, but when she went to the bank, she was told that her pension had been withdrew by someone else.When Linda went home to ask Nicholas and Shona about her pension, the two of them had no intention of giving the money back to her, especially Shona. She even requested Linda to give them her pension every month.Linda refused, but Shona said that it didn't matter. Every month when Linda's pension was paid, Shona would go in advance to withdraw the money, because she knew someone at the bank.The two critical mental blows made Linda infuriated and caused a cerebral hemorrhage. She then passed out.When Laura heard the story, her chest heaved up and down. She gritted her teeth in anger."How could they take what I've given you?"Laura's heart ached for Linda, but she was also touched. She knew Linda was doing all of this because of her.She knew ho
