He began to wipe the sweat off his forehead.In fact, he didn’t even dare to look at Catherine again.“Why am I here?

Noah Smith smiled at her. “What’s wrong with the younger me?”“You were just like a fool back then. You lost to me in all the games we played, or to be exact, you lost to me in everything, dumbo.” Catherine Batton hissed with a disgusted face.The smile on Noah’s face beamed wider. He simply started the engine of the car without saying anything, speeding down the road toward the hospital. “Mary Sullivan… I’d be damned if I’m going to let her get away with that.”Catherine nodded in agreement. “We’re not going to let her off so easily!”Noah remained silent and continued to accelerate down the street. ***Meanwhile at Municipal Hospital, Mary Sullivan was lying leisurely on the bed with a slice of pineapple in her hand, eating in a relaxed and idle mood. Bailey Ronson sat right beside her. She was busy peeling an apple. Mary sneered as she swallowed a mouthful of pineapple. “Hahaha, Catherine Batton has probably been thrown into jail now. Serves her right! Know your place, gi

The negative comments against the Sullivan family had finally ceased. However, Mary’s incident had yet caused another outbreak of verbal abuse against her family. “Mary Sullivan and the ones at the police station, would you just die already? My Lord, the world is too dark.”“The Sullivans never failed to appall me with their inhumane behavior. Pretending to be innocent after harming people, framing people, and sending people to jail. I don’t even know how to register the incident in my mind!”“I strongly demand a harsh sentence for Mary Sullivan that b*tch! Let her die, please!!!”“Let’s continue to boycott the products of Sullivan Food Group! Put them out of business! Please!!!”When the police pushed Mary out of the hospital, Tom Sullivan found himself getting out of the car, smoldering wit

The two nurses who walked past Stanley were astounded by his handsome features. Their immediate reaction was to clutch each other’s hands, secretly screaming in excitement. However, Stanley did not give a fig about them. “Stan, our baby girl was awfully bullied by the Sullivans. You ought to make Mary Sullivan pay the price!” Sharon could be heard bellowing in anger on the other end of the phone. Stanley strode into the elevator and pressed the button to close the elevator doors under the attention and admiration of countless girls.“I get it,” he said before he hung up the phone.On the other hand, Xyla could not take her eyes off the supper that Stanley had left behind since the man went out of her ward.

After staying at Catherine Batton’s ward for some time, Stanley Batton decided to push Xyla Quest back to her ward. Georgie Clementine followed closely behind them. As soon as the three of them set foot into the ward, Stanley placed his hands around Xyla’s back and knees and lifted her up carefully. After putting her down on the bed, he thoughtfully grabbed a large pillow and placed it behind Xyla so that Xyla could lean on it comfortably.Xyla’s heart was still fluttering and pounding as she looked at the man in front of her.“You should stay with Catherine and look after her. I can take care of myself,” she said.“She will be fine with so many nurses around her.” Stanley reassured her before pulling a chair to sit beside her.“I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave her alone. I have Georgie with me so don’t worry about me,” Xyla continued to insist.“Have you washed your face?” Stanley asked as he ignored her demand. Xyla shook her head in response. Immediately, he got

After reading Zack Cassidy’s reply, Stanley Batton fixed his gaze on Xyla Quest.Xyla, on the other hand, had already fallen asleep here and now. Meanwhile, Zack texted him again and asked, “Do you have any other questions?”Stanley decided to ignore the message so he threw his phone to the side and headed to the bathroom to wash up.***The next morning, Xyla was awakened by a sudden noise of the phone vibrating. Stanley also opened his eyes slowly and stretched his arm at the coffee table, his fingertips searching for his phone. He got up from the couch and shuffled to the floor-to-ceiling window to pick up the call. Xyla sat up and casually stretched her back. She then grasped her phone and clicked open the news app. “Fifth master, Logan Dankworth, the lawyer of Sullivan Food Group, had taken all the blame for bribing the police officers.”“The case had escalated into a huge ruckus and it went viral on the internet, garnering the attention of almost every citizen.”“As

As Catherine Batton spoke, she rotated her right ankle, drawing small circles in the air with her foot.It was not too difficult for her to move around anymore. “That’s great.” Josh Batton handed her the two large bags in his hands. “Speaking of which, I bought you some breakfast and snacks.”“I love you, Sixth brother!” Catherine happily hugged the things he brought in her arms, with a satisfied expression etched on her face.Josh grinned at her reaction as he slid his hand into the pocket of his hoodie. He took out a signed photo of Morty Wayne and Jay Corben and passed it to Catherine. “There you go. You wanted this, right?”Joy sparkled inside Catherine and her mood was elevated once more the moment she saw the photo. Delighted with her brother’s surprise, she stared at the photo for a second or two before lifting her head to glance at Josh. “Thank you so much, Sixth brother. There isn’t a single day that I stopped loving you.”Josh simply patted her head again. “It’s not a

“I won’t be around for a day three days later. Will it be okay to let Georgie take care of you that day?” Stanley Batton asked.There were some important tasks regarding the foreign branch of his company awaiting him. Therefore, he had to travel there to settle the issue on his own. “No problem.” Xyla nodded without asking for further details. Stanley smiled at her before taking the basin of water into the bathroom. At that instant, Xyla’s phone vibrated. When she saw the name ‘Master’ was displayed beside the call symbol, all the congeniality within her melted away and was replaced by indescribable, mixed feelings. Intense guilt kicked in and spread rapidly across her whole heart. It was like a pair of invisible hands that were constantly tearing her soul apart, without mercy. Taking a deep breath, she tried to regulate her emotions and remained as calm as possible before she picked up the call.“Hey Xyla, how are you?” The familiar voice of the old man flowed through he
