At that time, Edith was standing at the door, she wouldn't feel pain for Anthony anymore once she got disappointed enough.
Now she no longer felt pain for him. Instead, she could face him calmly, even looking at him with a smile of relief in her eyes.
Anthony felt heartbroken when he saw that smile, knowing that no matter what he did, he couldn't win her back.
"I'm sorry."
After he apologized sincerely, he turned around and left with unsteady steps.
Edith stared at his back, the relieved smile in her eyes becoming even deeper.
Her parents found out that she had been mistreated by a man while abroad and forced them to break up.
After the breakup, Anthony quickly moved on and started a new relationship, while Edith...
Trapped in a villa abroad by her parents, she lived in great misery, but he had never come to see her even once.
Edith also read much scandalous news about Anthony and many women.
During that time, Edith curled up in a corner and cried until her eyes were almost blind, before finally getting over it.
She finally managed to move on, and Anthony, for some reason, regretted it and came to her every day.
The most frequent words he had said to her were, "I'm sorry."
Edith was tired of listening to it, but he still didn't give up.
She knew that Anthony had been repentant and apologizing, hoping for her to say "It's okay."
But after all, harm couldn't be erased. Edith couldn't forgive him no matter what.
Edith withdrew her gaze from Anthony's indifferent stare and shifted it towards Eva and Jayden, who standing beside her.
"Are you...?"
Edith knew Jayden, the famous doctor in her brother's hospital and she wondered why he and Eva were together, holding hands.
"Miss Evans, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Jayden."
Eva didn't try to hide anything and introduced Jayden to Paul's sister in a straightforward and open manner.
Regarding the incident where Edith was harassed by a man at the airport, the wise Edith didn't mention it at all.
Edith was taken aback by Eva's words and thought, "You have a boyfriend. What should my brother do then?"
Edith thought about her own past experiences and quickly empathized with the feelings of Eva.
None of the women in the world could bear to see her boyfriend embrace multiple women at the same time.
Although Paul was slightly better than Anthony, he was still a playboy at heart.
Since becoming an adult, he had changed girlfriends like changing clothes.
Upon thinking about it, Edith bit back her words and politely nodded her head toward Eva.
"Ms. Miller, you have good taste. When do you plan to get married?"
Edith asked tentatively, probing for more information.
She could tell that her brother still had feelings for Ms. Miller.
It was not that Edith wanted to help her brother. She just wanted to remind her brother once things went on too quickly.
This marriage issue was difficult for Eva to respond to, and only Jayden could speak about it.
"I haven't proposed yet, so let me propose first before setting an engagement date."
Jayden believed that he should first seek Eva's opinion and make sure that she was willing to marry him before proposing. This way, he could show respect toward her feelings and wishes.
Edith didn't ask any further questions when she found that the two were still in the dating stage and had not planned to get married.
"Tell me the good news when you have it."
After Edith finished speaking, she politely nodded to the two people and then took her bag and headed towards the airport exit.
As she was walking out, she saw two men in suits entering the airport from outside. One of them was Zoey, who was pushing a man in a wheelchair and slowly making their way into the airport.
The man in the wheelchair was wearing a white shirt and had a thin blanket covering his knees. He looked cold, and his face was clean and handsome.
When Edith saw Ryan, she paused for a moment but didn't stay long. She picked up her bag and quickly walked past him.
Ryan caught sight of Edith, who nodded politely at him as well and he reciprocated with a slight nod of his own.
Before coming to the Imperial Capital, Eva had told Ryan, so when she arrived, he came to pick her up at the airport. Eva hurriedly walked towards him, accompanied by Jayden.
"Ryan, didn't I tell you that I would go to your house by myself? Why did you come to the airport to pick me up?"
Ryan gave a faint smile.
"I'm not too busy on the weekend, so I come and pick you up."
With that, Ryan's gaze landed on Jayden.
"Dr. Sherwood?"
Jayden often read financial magazines and was familiar with the featured Mr. Collins on the cover.
Although Ryan was sitting in a wheelchair, he remained as elegant and refined as he was on a magazine cover.
It was evident that Ryan was true as described in the magazine - well-educated and elegant.
Jayden had always admired talented people, and without thinking, he took a step forward and extended his hand to Ryan.
"Hello, Mr. Collins. I'm Jayden, Eva's boyfriend."
"I have heard her talk about you."
Ryan, being very polite, shook Jayden's hand in return.
Eva probably thought Jayden was pretty good, so she often mentioned him to Ryan.
Ryan knew that Eva wanted to lead by example and tell him that they could move on.
Every time Ryan read Eva's motivational words, he also struggled along but found himself sinking deeper the more he struggled.
He might as well let nature take its course. There was nothing better than letting things be and waiting for life to pass by in a more enjoyable way.
Eva didn't know the extent of Ryan's severe depression, and the darkness, loneliness, and confusion that he felt inside.
Just by looking at his good complexion and the smile in his eyes, she felt that he was living a good life, and her anxious heart was put at ease.
Jayden was a doctor, but he could feel Ryan's uniqueness with just one glance. At first, he just felt that Ryan was different.
But through his smile, gaze, conversation, and eating habits, Jayden could tell that Ryan had been putting on a facade.
The feeling of struggling to move on but being powerless to do so made Ryan feel like he was in a living hell, unable to climb out no matter how hard he tried.
After Ryan treated the two people to dinner, Nora handed him medicine and water.
Jayden saw the bottle of medicine and immediately understood why Ryan had given him the sensation of being on the brink of death but unable to die.
So, he was a patient with depression.
It seemed that Ryan had already entered a severe state, but he had been restraining himself all along.
Ryan wasn't afraid of being discovered by Jayden, calmly took the medicine and water, and took them on time.
Eva said that as long as he took his medicine on time, he could gradually recover.
Jayden was waiting for the day when he would recover himself.
"Ryan, let me take you for a walk outside the villa after you take the medicine!"
Eva's companionship during this period has actually improved Ryan's mood.
Although she only came on the weekend, she made Ryan feel less lonely.
"Let's go together, Dr. Sherwood."
Jayden nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He didn't show any discriminatory looks and silently followed behind.
Eva had previously explained to him about her past, that she and Ryan had grown up together in an orphanage.
Since childhood, Eva had treated Ryan as a younger brother. Their relationship was not like that of siblings, but rather more like that of close siblings.
Even though Ryan had been brought back by the Collins family and had become the president of the Collins Group, they still maintained the bond they had when they were young.
For over twenty, even thirty years of a relationship like this, it was difficult to let go. Jayden understood their friendship.
Since Eva brought him to meet Ryan, it meant that she wanted him to get her family's approval. Jayden was naturally thrilled and had no objections.
It was a bit hot at night in Imperial Capital. Jayden bought a few bottles of cold water from a vending machine on the roadside and handed them to Ryan and Zoey.
Then Jayden warmed up Eva's bottle with his own hands to room temperature before opening it and handing it to her.
"Take a small sip and see if it's too cold."
"I want icy water."
"You're not in good health, so it's better to drink less cold water."
Jayden's words made Ryan look at him a few more times.
There was a faint smile on his face as if he had accepted Jayden as his "brother-in-law."
Ryan's hand rested on the armrest of his wheelchair as he looked at Eva, who didn't want to drink the warm water.
"Eva, Dr. Sherwood is concerned about you so please don't be stubborn."
He sounded like doting on his "older sister," and also showing favoritism towards the newly-met "brother-in-law."
"Well, Ryan, you've become quite bold now. You even dare to boss me around?"
Ryan supported his chin with one hand and stared at Eva and Jayden with a smile.
"How would I dare? Dr. Sherwood is bossing around you. As your younger brother, I'm just following along with what he says."
Eva smiled with a knowing look when she saw Ryan and followed suit with a laugh.
"Ryan, I'm happy to see you getting better day by day, so I'll just drink the warm water."
Eva took the water bottle and tilted her head back to take a sip.
Jayden immediately took out a wet wipe and wiped the corners of her mouth.
The way he tenderly took care of Eva made Ryan unable to help but recall the figure of that girl from his memories.
At that time, after she finished drinking milk or eating, she would come up to him and ask him to wipe the corners of her mouth.
However, Ryan was always busy studying and tended to be perfunctory. He casually grabbed a tissue and helped her wipe it off without much care.
At that time, she would lean over his desk and let out a long sigh.
"Ryan, if you keep being so perfunctory, you will lose me."
At that time, Ryan didn't see the disappointment in her eyes. Looking back now, he felt heartbroken.
"How...is she doing?"
When Eva and Jayden were chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard Ryan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, ask this question.
Eva came to a halt, looking at Ryan with a complex expression.
He thought he would move on, but she never expected that he never did.
Eva stared at him in silence for a while before finally speaking,
"She and James are on their honeymoon."
Her statement was very hurtful, but it was the truth. Ryan needed to come to terms with this fact.
"I see."
Ryan nodded and then seemed to remember something, looking at Eva with a slight smile.
"Since they got married, it's natural to go on a honeymoon. I'm so forgetful, I can't seem to remember anything."
It was not that he had a bad memory, but rather that he didn't dare imagine the girl who once dreamed of getting married and going on a honeymoon with him, was now married to someone else.
Eva knew what Amelia had said to Ryan back then.
"After we get married, we don't need to go to any particularly fancy place for our honeymoon. Just taking a walk near our city would be fine."
Amelia had never asked Ryan for anything too luxurious and was even afraid that Ryan might work too hard. She even saved money for their wedding herself.
But Ryan always wanted to give Amelia something better, which he couldn't achieve all at once. So he could only delay it and make Amelia wait for it.
At that time, Eva sat beside them, propping her head up and watching the two of them discuss.
One of them wanted to get married and formed a family, but the other always politely declined.
Eva always felt that one day Ryan would regret it, and it turned out to be true.
Actually, it was Ryan himself who gradually pushed Amelia away during their time together.
Ryan was likely trapped in this regret and unable to move on because he hadn't forgiven himself.
At this point, Eva stopped thinking about the past and approached Ryan. She gently placed her hand on his shoulder and slowly bent down to meet his gaze.
"Ryan, things should not be forced. Don't put too many shackles on yourself. You've only lived half of your life. Look ahead. There are many more twenty-year periods to come. Don't keep imprisoning yourself in the past twenty years."
There were too many philosophical and profound words that Eva couldn't express. She could only offer some motivational words like this, hoping that Ryan can be inspired by them.
Ryan just nodded and smiled at her. Eva didn't know if he understood.
Jayden, who was standing next to them, didn't know what they were talking about. But from a few words, he could tell that Ryan had been hurt in love.
Jayden wondered, "Could it be related to the boss of the hospital? Is it possible that the boss's newlywed wife is Mr. Collins' former lover?"
While Jayden was pondering about their relationship, Eva's phone rang. Since she was about to push Ryan's wheelchair, she asked Jayden to help her pull out the phone.
Jayden lowered his head and glanced at the screen. When he saw the name displayed on it, he didn't say it out loud, but instead wisely said, "Eva, you got a phone call."
Eva didn't realize it and asked Jayden, "Whose call?"
Jayden didn't say anything, but Ryan understood and instinctively glanced at the phone screen.
At the sight of the name Amelia, Ryan felt so heartbroken that it left him breathless for a long time.
Eva didn't notice Ryan's expression and reached out to take her phone. When she saw that it was Amelia calling, she looked at him.
"Ryan, let me answer this call first. You guys go ahead."
Ryan wanted to say "Let me hear her voice", but felt it was inappropriate, so he pushed his wheelchair away.
Looking at the lonely figure, Eva unlocked her phone and said, "Amelia, what's up?"
Amelia, who had seen Henry's post, called Eva and said, "Eva, I saw Henry's post, saying that he and Stella are getting their marriage certificate tomorrow. I just arrived in Germany and can't make it back in time. Can you help me buy a gift and deliver it on my behalf?"
Eva exclaimed with surprise. "What? Are they getting married tomorrow? I thought they would do it after you come back."
Amelia was also not quite sure. "Maybe the time has been changed?"
Eva nodded and said, "Oh, I'm currently in the Imperial Capital. When I return tomorrow, I'll buy two gifts to congratulate them."
Amelia, who was leaning on the railing of the villa, sat up slightly upon hearing that Eva was in the Imperial Capital. "What are you doing there?" she asked.
Eva was taken aback and only then realized that she had let slip.
"I..."
Eva wasn't very good at lying, so she said truthfully, "I came to see Ryan."
Amelia's phone was on speaker, and James was sitting on the sofa scrolling through his phone on the balcony.
Upon hearing the name "Ryan," James's slender fingers scrolling the screen froze for a second before he continued.
Amelia instinctively glanced at James and calmly replied with an "all right" when she found no reaction on his face.
Other words, such as asking how Ryan doing or sending her regards, seemed too unnecessary.
Only by ending the topic with a simple "all right" can it appear ordinary.
After hanging up the phone, Amelia put down her cell phone and walked over to James.
Under the night sky, the man's profile looked chiseled as if it were an art of God.
His long and thick eyelashes were cast down, covering up the cold expression in his eyes.
He was looking through the financial data of the Evans Group, his fingers sliding over the screen, but the rapid movement revealed his emotions to Amelia.
She didn't say anything but just sat down next to him. After a few seconds of silence, she reached out and pressed his phone screen.
"Honey, do you... know any doctors who specialize in treating legs?"
She still hoped that Ryan could get to his feet, as only when he James knew what Amelia meant, just felt a little annoyed that she still cared about her first love.
In James's life, he was not afraid of anything but a man named Ryan. He would be so panicked and scandalized that even just hearing the name would bother him for a long time...
It was hard to describe this feeling. He always felt that one day in the future, the happiness he now has will become Ryan's.
This was a ridiculous idea. Perhaps it was because he cared too much about what might happen, or maybe he just cherished the present too much and was afraid of losing it. However, the fact that Amelia could frankly seek help from him showed that she had let go of Ryan.
Otherwise, they would continue to be cautious and avoid mentioning this person around each other.
They communicated openly and expressed their inner thoughts frankly, which was actually leading them to a future of holding hands and going forward together little bit.
"I know a few people..."
"Do you have their contact?"
James looked at Amelia, and persuaded himself that as a man, he shouldn't be too petty and should be more magnanimous.
After convincing himself, he opened his contact list and made a phone call to an international expert.
He confirmed that the expert was available and had experience in treating leg injuries before sending the contact information to Amelia.
"Send it to Eva and don't contact Ryan."
After sending it to Amelia, he still couldn't shake off his "stingy" nature and gave her a cold glance.
James's eyes, filled with jealousy, were as if they had been soaked in a vinegar jar, almost overflowing with moisture.
"Mr. Evans, you look so cute when you're jealous."
Amelia held his cheeks and kissed him on the forehead to comfort him.
It worked quite well. After being kissed by Amelia, James felt pleased and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Send it to Eva in front of me."
She almost laughed out loud. James was staring so intently at her, probably because he was afraid she would contact Ryan privately.
She also gave him a sidelong glance, but obediently, sent Eva the expert's contact.
James waited until she finished sending it and then sit her on his lap.
"Actually, after Ryan was injured, I found an expert to treat him. But he refused."
"Now it's too late for the best treatment. Even the expert I hired might not be able to help him stand up again."
The man tilted his chin and looked at Amelia's fair and clean face. It was the first time he took the initiative to talk to her about Ryan.
"You need to be mentally prepared and don't think that it's because I'm unwilling to help him."
Hearing this, Amelia raised her hands, wrapped them around James's neck, and lowered head and said:
"How could you? You've been helping him all the time..."
Without James, Ryan would have been long gone, though...
"We have to try again. Maybe there's some hope."
James isn't an idealist, he's quite practical, but he didn't shatter S's hopes, only nodding slightly.
"Don't let him know that it was me who found the doctor."
If James was Ryan, even though he could never stand up again, he wouldn't accept help from his rival's benefactor.
James's words woke Amelia up. She had only been thinking about helping Ryan, but hadn't considered this issue at all, so she felt confused for a moment.
Seeing her in a daze, he thought she was thinking of someone else and pinched her waist.
"Darling, you can only think of me."
Startled by his action, she responded by knocking her head against his with a hint of defiance.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm trying to knock your brain into mine so I can only think of you," she replied.
Silence fell between them.
After a moment, James broke it with a wry smile. "Does it hurt?"
She nodded. "Of course it does, your head is so hard..."
He couldn't help but smile, gently rubbing her forehead. "You know it hurts, yet you keep doing it..."
Amelia lifted James's flawless and beautiful face and asked him, "Are you still jealous?"
James slightly turned his head and lightly raised his attractive thick eyebrows and said, "Kiss me more."
He knew how to use his advantages well. He used the most beautiful side of his face to "seduce" her.
Amelia also fell for his trick and lower her head and left several lipstick marks on his face. "Is that enough?"
James held onto the woman's waist, not having drunk any alcohol but still looking at her with drunken eyes.
"Last time you bit me hard. How about biting me again?"
Amelia thought how there were such requests and quickly opened her mouth, trying to bite his shoulder, but was lifted onto his shoulder by the man.
"Who told you to bite me there?"
"Then, where should I bite you?"
"Down there."
When did she bite him...down there?
After making out, James held Amelia's waist and whispered in her ear with a fiery look, "Mmm...you're quite tight."
It was then that Amelia finally understood what he meant by "bite".
After Eva hung up the phone, she chose an appropriate time to talk to Ryan about the expert.
She didn't mention Amelia, only said that she knew an expert who could treat legs and had already scheduled an appointment with them.
Ryan nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Eva..."
Facing his innocent smile, Eva felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look directly at him. "It's nothing, just a small favor."
Ryan grew up with Eva and naturally knew that she was not good at lying. He could see that she was feeling anxious,
It was after Eva and Amelia talked on the phone that they found the expert, it could only be that James helped Amelia find the doctor.
Ryan couldn't express his feelings, but he didn't reveal them either. He only said to Eva, "Stay at my villa tonight."
Eva looked at Jayden and was afraid that he would not be comfortable staying at someone else's house, so she waved her hand: "Not tonight, we'll come to find you tomorrow."
Ryan didn't insist: "Okay, tomorrow, I'll take you guys around York City."
After watching them leave the villa, Ryan looked up at the night sky and saw a plane silently pa*sing overhead.
He looked around for a while and gently said to Zoey, "Buy a ticket to Mediterranean, I'll go over there."
Zoey asked, "Aren't you waiting for the expert?"
Ryan said, "Of course I am."
He had to wait, it was Amelia's wish, and he couldn't let her down.
"I'll be back before the expert arrives."
Zoey was relieved to see that he was willing to accept treatment.
"So Zoey, when do you want to go to Mediterranean?"
"The day after tomorrow."
He would go after Eva returned to York city.
"Then I'll prepare a private plane and bring some people to accompany you..."
Ryan didn't reply. With his current physical condition, he needed someone to follow him wherever he went.
Because he was pushing a wheelchair, he was always at risk of falling and felt quite useless.
Eva and Jayden arrived at the hotel. The front desk asked how many rooms they wanted and what kind of rooms they preferred. Jayden instinctively glanced at Eva.
"Two suites."
Jayden was good at taking care of women's feelings and didn't act without authorization.
The front desk glanced at the two of them, quickly processed their check-in, and handed them two room cards.
Jayen took one and handed the other to Eva.
"Great, I'm staying next door. If anything happens tonight, you can come to me directly."
He meant that it's not safe for females to stay in a hotel alone, and if anything unusual happens, she could come to him for help.
However, when the words came out of his mouth, it seemed like he was inviting Eva. Realizing this, Jayden's ears turned red.
"That's not what I meant..."
"I know."
Eva smiled sweetly, her bright smile easing Jayden's embarrassment.
"Shall we go up then?"
Eva nodded and followed him towards the direction of the elevator...
As the door opened, Eva came face to face with the man who had been entangled with Edith at the airport.
Eva knew this man, his name was Anthony.
When she was with Paul, his friends used to mock her for being divorced, but Anthony never did.
Eva remembered this kindness, but she never expected Antony to have any involvement with Edith.
She had pretended not to know him at the airport, and now she could only continue to pretend, as if she had never seen him before.
Anthony didn't greet her either. His eyes were shining with a charming light, but he glanced at Jayden who was standing beside her.
Before the elevator doors closed, he even looked at the floor number that Jayden was in...
This is a hotel that combines entertainment activities. Anthony is famous in the city, he arranged a welcome for Paul when he arrived.
Anthony has always loved to play, but suddenly lost interest after seeing Edith at the airport today. He got off the car to take a cigarette break.
He didn't expect to meet Paul's longest ex-girlfriend, they went separate ways more than a year ago, and it's normal to start a new romance.
Standing by the pillar at the entrance of the hotel, Anthony smoked a cigarette while gazing at the city filled with lights and glamour. Gradually, he got lost in thought.
Bored after smoking a few cigarettes, he dropped the butt, put his hands in his pocket and headed back to the top floor.
When he walked in, he saw Paul sitting in the sofa area holding a glass, fading in the dim light.
The ladies next to him were trying to please him, but he didn't react much, as if his soul had been taken away...
After standing by the door and watching for a while, Anthony walked over and sat down next to Paul.
"What's wrong? Are you not interested in women anymore?"
Paul, who was lazily leaning on the sofa, gave him a cold glance.
"If you don't have anything to say, then just shut up."
A chuckled, took the drink handed to him by the waiter, and took a sip.
You're so distracted now, is that because of Elsie?"
Though he knew what his brother was thinking, Anthony still beat about the bush to mock Paul.
"If you miss her, I'll give her a call and she'll definitely come over to see you."
Paul glanced at Anthony and didn't retaliate, feeling depressed instead.
Anthony had never seen Paul like this before. Even when Paul experienced his first love and was inexplicably dumped by Elsie, he didn't react this way.
Anthony raised his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch. After showering and setting the mood, foreplay should begin.
If they kept delaying, that woman who made Paul feel like he had lost his soul will probably say goodbye to him completely...
Anthony picked up a bottle of strong drink and passed it to Paul.
"After finishing this glass, I'll give you some information."
"Not interested."
Now nothing could raise the interest of Paul. If he didn't have to sign a contract in York City, he wouldn't even bother leaving the house.
Seeing him like this, Anthony put his wine glass down on the table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and spoke slowly.
"It's about Eva."
He finished speaking and glanced at Paul, but there was only a slight change in expression on his handsome face, and not much of a reaction.
Anthony raised his eyebrow slightly. "You're not interested in the girl you've been crushing on for three years anymore?"
Paul sneered lightly. "Women mean nothing to me. When did I have been crushing on her for three years?"
Anthony crossed his legs lazily and said, "I don't know who it was, but when he heard his friend laughing at her for being divorced, he didn't even play cards anymore and jerked up his fists and punched his friend."
At this, Anthony kicked Paul with his foot. "Hey, I remember that. It was your first fight, wasn't it?"
He remembered, P was too proud to let someone disrespect the woman he liked. He rolled up his shirt sleeves and got into a fight with his own friend, and even went so far as to get into trouble with the police.
And in the end, Eva didn't even know about it. She thought Paul didn't want to take her out because he looked down on her for being divorced. Poor girl.
Paul didn't want to hear Anthony mocking him about embarradsing things in the past, so he told him to shut up. But rebellious Anthony kept talking.
"And then there was that time when Eva called you, saying she had a stomachache, and you went out in the middle of the night in the rain to bring her medicine."
"You even remembered when she had her period, and asked me to teach you how to make brown sugar water and chicken soup. Is that not something you did?"
Paul had so many girlfriends, but they all pampered and took care of him. Anthony had never seen him take care of someone else.
So this woman named Eva must be someone special to Paul...
Anthony thought about this and lifted his wrist to check his watch. "If you don't go now, you might miss her..."
Paul gave him a stern look. "Just spit it out. Don't beat around the bush in front of me."
Seeing how impatient Paul was getting, A didn't want to tell him. "They're on the 8th floor, Eva and another man are in a hotel room."
Paul froze in disbelief, looking at Anthony. "Eva?"
Anthony blinked. "Yeah, when I was leaving, I saw her going to the 8th floor with a man."
Anthony finished speaking and checked his watch again. "It's already been almost half an hour. I'm curious how far they've gotten...."
As soon as Anthony finished speaking, the man next to him rushed out of the private room like a gust of wind.
Paul was so fast that by the time Anthony looked up, the man wearing only a thin shirt had disappeared from his sight.
Anthony sneered, thinking that Paul claimed he didn't care, but as soon as he heard Eva was getting a room with someone else, he ran faster than a monkey. This time, Paul really fell in love.
After ranting, Anthony's expression suddenly darkened. He picked up the goblet on the table with his fair hand, placed it to his lips, and took a few sips.
Anthony used to think that alcohol could help ease his worries, but now he found it too bitter. The more he drinks, the more bitter it felt; maybe because his heart was bitter, causing even his taste buds to lose sensation.
Paul has become a bad example, and Anthony hopes not to follow in his footsteps. After understanding his own emotions, he should treat others well.
Eva just finished taking a shower when she received a call from Stella.
"Stella, why are you calling so late? Is Grace causing trouble for you?"
Eva was coming to the capital this weekend, but it wasn't safe to take Grace along, so she was relying on Stella to take care of Grace for two days.
Eva usually takes care of Grace herself, so she knew that Grace can be mischievous before bedtime.
If you don't play with her for more than half an hour before bed, she won't go to sleep, which can drive a person crazy.
"It's not because of Grace; she's quite well-behaved..."
Is she well-behaved?
Grace pretended to be asleep in Stella's arms, looking very well-behaved and obedient. However, her two upright ears exposed her true state.
Eva went to Stella to tattle on someone again. When Eva comes back, Grace will definitely extend her bedtime by an hour due to all the commotion.
Stella looked at Grace, who revealed her two small tiger teeth, but Stella didn't have time to deal with her at the moment.
"Is Jayden there? His phone is turned off, and the hospital can't reach him."
"One of his patients had a sudden illness at night. If he is there, tell him to call the hospital back quickly."
The hospital couldn't find the attending physician and had to contact the president's office.
Stella knew that both of them had gone to the capital, so she quickly called Eva.
Hearing Stella's anxious voice, Eva threw on a bathrobe and knocked on the next-door's door.
"Jayden, Stella said your patient had a sudden illness at night and asked you to call the hospital back quickly."
Jayden, who had just opened the door, heard this and quickly said to Eva, "My phone fell into the bathtub, and it's full of water. I'll borrow your phone for a moment."
He had just heard the phone ringing and reached for the phone. Unfortunately, he didn't hold onto it firmly and accidentally dropped it into the bathtub, shattering the screen and filling it with water.
At this moment, he was trying to dry the phone with a hairdryer and was planning to dry and turn it on when he heard the urgent knocking on the door. He didn't expect it to be the hospital looking for him.
"Go call them back quickly."
