Lorian tasted a tinge of blood in his mouth. Then, a mouthful of blood splattered against the transparent glass.Kris entered just in time to witness this. Her face turned pale with shock as she rushed over. "What's wrong, Mr. Lorian?"Lorian clutched his abdomen as sweat covered his forehead. He waved gently. "I'm fine."Kris had been with him for many years. She had witnessed Lorian working himself to the brink, and couldn't help but feel distressed.Her voice choked with emotion when she spoke. "You're not fine. Dr. Yanni already said you can't keep pushing yourself like this! "If you keep going at this rate, you're going to..."Kris didn't finish her sentence, but Lorian understood.No matter how hard he worked, he had still lost Holly. Indeed, why was he doing this to himself?Both of them headed downstairs and got into the car. Kris instructed the driver to go to Knight Hospital.Lorian clutched his abdomen in the back seat. His face was pale. The car swayed gently

Lorian stood at the door and dialed Kris's number. She sounded hesitant and evasive on the phone.Lorian guessed that she had gone to find Holly. So, he headed downstairs and got into the car. Then, he instructed the driver to go to Holly's apartment. Lorian knew that Holly painted during the day and would definitely return to her apartment for that.…Yanni instructed a nurse to tidy up the examination room before walking out with her hands in her white coat's pockets. She headed towards the inpatient building, intending to visit a critically ill child she had attended to a couple of days ago. Now that Yanni had some time, she wanted to check on the child. The pediatric ward of the hospital was chocked full of worried adults and frightened children. The scent of medication filled the air. Being sick was never pleasant. So, the atmosphere was often somber and filled with concerns.As Yanni passed by, doctors and nurses greeted her respectfully. "Dr. Yanni."She nodded fain

Yanni couldn't be bothered with him. She kept her hands in her white coat's pockets and kept a blank face. "I am first and foremost your wife, Gael. I'm just a doctor. Stop acting like a jerk and use my medical ethics to restrain me."Gael was displeased and was about to speak, but a nurse ran over. "We have an emergency with one of the patients, Dr. Yanni."Yanni immediately followed her and left Gael and Emilia behind. They were two old lovers.Emilia cautiously suggested, "Since Dr. Yanni is in the hospital, maybe you could stay here with Ansley, Gael. When Dr. Yanni finishes, you could explain things to her. "I'm sure she has misunderstood us."Gael didn't agree to it. He glanced at his watch. "I have matters to attend to at the company. I have to go."Emilia tried to persuade him. "Gael."However, he left anyway.…Holly was in a corner coffee shop. She looked down and stirred her coffee gently. Her voice was slightly husky. "I didn't expect you would ask me out, Kri

Lorian sat in the car. He spaced out for a while before reaching for the cigarette pack on the center console.Then, he lit a cigarette with trembling fingers. The pale blue smoke blurred his vision.Lorian kept thinking about his past with Holly, as well as the fact that she was married. He also thought about the words she said."I'm married, Lorian."That was right. Holly was married!Lorian had already lowered himself to such a degree. He could even look past the fact that she was married.All he wanted was for her to get back to his side, but she didn't want to do it.If she didn't want to do it, then why would Lorian make her stay? He should have a little dignity for himself!After Lorian finished his cigarette, Lorian dialed Poppy's number and informed her of the villa's location. It was his private property, but he rarely lived in it.…A man was at the Walwell Villa an hour later. A wine glass lay tilted on the carpet In the master bedroom on the second floor.Deep

Holly was blushing slightly when the door opened. Ignacio took off his coat and hung it casually on the coat hook at the entrance.Then, he pulled Holly into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her tenderly. She tilted her head back and tried to speak, but he seized the moment to slip his tongue in."Mmm... Ignacio."Holly's broken voice was halted by his tongue. He kissed her intensely. The subtle sounds of their kiss were so sensual that it turned them on effortlessly.Ignacio pressed Holly against the cabinet as he caressed her slender waist. Everywhere he touched her, he gave her goosebumps.She was sensitive and trembled slightly in his grasp. Ignacio paused to gaze into her eyes and gulped sexily, "Feels good, huh?"Holly felt embarrassed and didn't want to respond. She lightly flicked a strand of hair from her cheek."I haven't finished getting ready. Let me make you a cup of coffee first, and then we can go out for dinner."Ignacio pressed her waist gently. His touch

Ignacio looked at the restaurant's name through the car window. It seemed familiar to him. It was likely a place they had dined at before.However, any man with a functioning brain wouldn't bring up such a thing to their wives. As the car stopped, he turned to his wife and noticed her eyes were moist.Ignacio asked softly, "Is this restaurant special to you?"Holly nodded. She didn't intend to say more but held onto the car handle. She noticed Ignacio's intense gaze.He showed no intention of getting out of the car. She couldn't help but whisper, "When I was little, Dad used to bring me here to wait for Mom."The wait lasted for four years.Those years were irreplaceable for Holly, and her family was something she couldn't let go of. That was why she returned to Brookesville even if she had no future with Lorian.However, Ignacio focused his career overseas. Holly was somewhat worried about it.Ignacio guessed her thoughts. His slender, handsome fingers caressed the steering wh

Holly remained quiet all the while. Ignacio focused on driving as he reached over quietly to hold her hand.She glanced at him sideways. "Ignacio?"He kept his eyes on the road ahead and sighed softly. "You're going home, Holly, not to the execution ground."Holly looked at the limousine ahead of them and murmured softly. "It's not that different!"Ignacio's lips curled into a charming smile. "If anything, I should be the one who's nervous! Don't worry. I'm here."The traffic light ahead turned red at the intersection, and their car ground to a halt.Holly leaned against his shoulder gently. Her voice was soft. "That's exactly why I'm scared! I wouldn't be afraid at all if I were single."Ignacio adjusted her hair. His touch was so gentle as if he was petting a small animal. His voice was warm. It sounded like a lover but more like an elder. "It might be too late for regrets now, Holly! You didn't utter a word of regret while you were enjoying yourself in bed last night."Hol

"Must've been a genetic mutation." Gladys muttered to herself. She was worried whether such an outstanding man could truly be relied upon.Noah and Gwynn shared her concerns. The Morse family was scholarly, and it was possible Ignacio's parents wouldn't accept Holly. However, there were so many people present now. It wasn't the right time to discuss it. After a lengthy exchange of pleasantries, Noah remained silent.At that moment, there was movement on the staircase. Lorian stood on the stairs. He wore a set of casual home clothes. The chandelier above cast small shadows on his handsome face, making his features appear even more defined and sharp.Lorian looked coldly at Holly and Ignacio. She had brought her husband home.When Holly looked up, she met his gaze unexpectedly, and her lips trembled slightly.Things became extremely awkward. Suddenly, Ignacio held Holly's hand gently and calmed her inner unease. He stood up and said to Lorian politely, "We meet again, Lorian
