 Chapter 1 A Scaring Man

    Chapter 1 A Scaring Man


    ¡°Hurt?¡±


    ¡°No¡­¡±


    ¡°How about here?¡±


    ¡°No¡­¡±


    ¡°And here?¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­Yes, it¡¯s here!¡±


    In the emergency room, a man was yelling out, while another woman said quietly, ¡°Acute appendicitis.


    Prepare for a surgeon now!¡±


    The nurse took the patient out of the room soon. The woman doctor Riley Watson with a poker face


    took off her medical gloves and threw them to the trash bin, then started to quickly write the medical


    report.


    Just finishing the report, she heard some nurses outside the room talking about something in lower


    voice.


    ¡°Dr. Watson is definitely the best doctor in our general medicine clinic. Just now she did very well to the


    patient!¡±


    ¡°Of course. She is excellent, but unfortunately she has not been married now.¡±


    ¡°Sure. Who can marry such a top woman?¡±


    As they were leaving, Riley put her hand in the pocket of her uniform unconsciously and touched the


    valuable wedding ring with the fingertip.


    Unfortunately?


    Not married until now?


    Nobody could marry her?


    People may feel unhappy when hear all these sharp words. However, Riley had been married for three


    years; she did not care about such gossip anymore.


    She felt it was ironic that she had only met her so-called husband several times during the past three


    years. To Riley, he was just a stranger.


    How much did he hate her?


    Riley stopped thinking and got a document holder to visit the patients.


    There was full of sterilizer¡¯s smell on the corridor; Riley stepped on the floor with the sound of her high


    heels. She still looked too charming even in the doctor¡¯s uniform.


    As soon as Riley was in the corner, she heard someone talking, ¡°Just the moment, I saw the director


    rush to the emergency room for an important patient. My goodness, how important is the patient? The


    director has to do by himself.¡±


    ¡°Who knows? More high-level government officers as well as rich men live in JD City. Everyone can be


    sick.¡±


    ¡°But you know, how many of them can ask the director to treat by himself?¡±


    They mumbled; obviously the answer was nobody can make it.


    A faint sneer crossed her face and then she looked straight and walked forward. The talking nurses


    heard someone walking to them and stopped the talk.


    They said hello to Riley but she didn¡¯t stop. She was remarkably serious and arrogant as usual. As a


    After visiting the patients, Riley went to the restroom. She stood in front of a washing basin and put the


    holder on a wooden shelf to wash hands.


    Iris Anderson, from the same clinic with Riley, asked with great care, ¡°Dr. Watson, how are you? You


    look tired.¡±


    Looking tired?


    Riley answered carelessly, ¡°Fine. I am really a little bit tired.¡±


    ¡°Love yourself more when you are single¡­Oh, I mean, you are happy to be single, but to be healthy is


    the priority.¡±


    The annoying topic arose. Riley did not say more; Iris was embarrassed and left.


    Riley saw her good-looking face in the mirror and started to think that if the nurses¡¯ gossip really made


    her feel unhappy.


    The chilly water flew along her hand caused her to have a frown.


    Or, it might be some sadness.


    Don¡¯t be silly. How did she think about him?


    After the incident, Riley had warned herself that she would not love him anymore in all her life!


    Even if she had ever love him so deeply!


    Even if she had ever loved him so crazily!


    Her fingers touched the ring one more time. The portable ATM always with her was just for urgent meet


    between her husband and her. If the man came to meet her without prior notice, it was better for her to


    wear the ring on her finger.


    Right now, a nurse called Riley in a rush, with much sweat on her forehead. This was an urgent case


    for sure. The nurse said, ¡°Dr. Watson, you are here. Please follow me. The director asked you to give


    him a favor.¡±


    ¡°Ok!¡± Riley said calmly and got the holder to run to the emergency room.


    When getting there, she also started to feel nervous atmosphere. Riley did not know who was so


    important to make the famous director pay great attention.


    Riley walked to the man lying on the bed and got extremely astonished. She was unable to move, just


    watching the weak and handsome man. She was trembling with scary in the mind.


    The man with dark skin had much sweat now; he looked serious and arrogant without saying anything.


    Nobody dare to talk with him.


    It was him!


    The director shouted at Riley, ¡°Riley, what are you doing? His stomach is bleeding. We have to save


    him now!¡±


    Riley was reminded by the shouting. The disease itself was not serious enough to request the director


    to do the treatment; it was the important patient whom the director had to treat by himself.


    He was undoubtedly the one who deserved the director¡¯s attention.


    Who was he?


    He was Euan George, the CEO of George Group of JD City; he had a dominant effect on the share


    market.


    With the huge George Group, Euan was a top wealthy man in business. He owned a club as big as all


    along a street and dozens ofpanies covering real estate, jewelry, social media, clothing and


    electronics. He might not know clearly the urate value of all these businesses.


    Finally, he had been Riley¡¯s husband for three years, but nobody got to know about it.


    Riley remembered Euan had never got sickness since she knew him. Just that moment in this room, he


    looked so terrible for the sickness. As soon as he was turning to look at Riley, Riley knew he was totally


    unhappy.


    Euan was sick, but still trying to scare her with eye contact.


    He was the same aggressive as usual!


    Stomach bleeding was not so serious; the director was greatly professional to save Euan soon.


    Riley walked out of the emergency room with absent mind and sat on the long chair. She had fast


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    heartbeat.


    She did not believe she was still mentally disturbed by him.


    She did not believe she still cared about him.


    She believed she should be indifferent to him.


    However, Riley was worried about him just for his stomach bleeding from having much alcohol. She


    also felt disappointed with his unconcerned look.


    With the gloves off, Riley got the ring out of the pocket; this was the only ring in the world with a high-


    ss customized diamond originated from South Africa. Three years ago, she wore the brilliant ring in


    the luxurious wedding held by a bay; Out of her expectation, the wedding as well as Euan¡¯s vow to her


    was merely a part of a game.


    Silly!


    Even suffering a lot in mind now, Riley would never be as heartbroken as she got three years ago. She


    put the ring back and controlled emotions, then standing up with hands on her knees.


    Back to the outpatient, Riley started to review medical reports. After a while, someone was knocking at


    the door.


    The director was here.


    Riley rushed to stand up to wee him and smiled. She hated to tter anybody, but sincerely


    respected the director in her mind. She said, ¡°Hi, Director.¡±


    The director was a middle-age man and looked very nice. He also smiled and said, ¡°I really appreciate


    your help just now.¡±


    Riley was some of surprised about his words. She thought that was definitely her job.


    But before Riley talking more, the director continued, ¡°But could you please take more jobs in the


    The jobs the director mentioned were to be the private doctor of Euan to take good care of him these


    days. She had to ensure Euan was absolutely safe and happy in the hospital.


    The director knew nothing about what happened to Euan and Riley before. He just thought Riley was


    lovely and beautiful who was the right person to help the picky boss.


    Riley did not think so; she was reluctant to get such tough jobs.


    Riley kept biting her lips and stood there.


    She hesitated, unsure of what to say when meeting Euan.


    Pretending to meet him for the first time?


    Or talking with him as his wife?


    Justing out of the lift, Riley saw many people in front of her.


    There were a crowd of reporters holding microphones and cameras on the corridor.


    Some reporters asked, ¡°Miss Saunders, some source said you are Mr. Euan George¡¯s girlfriend. Today


    youe to take care of him; so, will you let the public know your rtionship?¡±


    ¡°Miss Saunders, we all reported you and Mr. Euan George a perfect couple! So, both of you also


    consider each other to be a perfect partner in a marriage?¡±


    ¡°Miss Saunders, you are the most popr star now. Would you like to leave your jobs and just be the


    wife of Mr. Euan George?¡±


    Hearing the questions, Riley stopped and her whole body under the uniform tautened violently.


    Lydia Saunders said, ¡°If we are married, I would like to stop all my jobs and be a good housewife for


    Euan. I will devote all myself to follow him, care about him and love him.¡±


    Lydia answered these questions in a super soft voice.


    She was in a sexy dress today, the wavy long hair of maroon color down to her naked radiant white


    back. Riley knew the beauty with snow white arms and charming red lips very well.


    Lydia Saunders, whose father was the CEO of Saunders Group, was a super star now. Her photos


    upied the bus bodies and screens on streets; she was greatly admired and followed by arge


    number of young men in the country.


    The reporters continued to ask, ¡°Wow! Miss Saunders is so nice. Will you marry soon?¡±


    ¡°Miss Saunders is very busy now, but willing to stop all jobs for Mr. Euan George. What a love story!¡±


    ¡­


    So silly!


    If Riley did not know Lydia before, she would believe this was a morousdy. Now, she had to say


    Lydia was an angelic bitch!


    The reporters kept talking with Lydia who had a look at Riley by ident. A faint sneer of satisfaction


    crossed Lydia¡¯s face. Then Lydia smiled and said softly, ¡°We have not got the n. But we will tell the


    public as soon as we¡¯re married.¡±


    Riley got her mobile phone in her pocket and dialed a number to say, ¡°Security? Pleasee to the


    VIP room. Many people are noisy here.¡±


    Hanging off the call, Riley had the idea in her mind, ¡°Lydia, even if I lost Euan, I will not allow you to be


    the proud winner!¡±

    Chapter 2 The Mistress Appeared


    The security guards quickly cleared the scene and chased the reporters out, ¡°Dr Watson, sorry for the


    inconvenience caused due to our negligence.¡±


    Riley smiled coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. But we should be more careful not to disturb the VIP patient¡¯s


    rest.¡±


    From that, the security guards immediately knew that the patient in the room was a notable person.


    They thanked Riley for informing them on time.


    The crowd dispersed and it was quiet again. Lydia sneered, ¡°Riley, how capable of you. I see that


    you¡¯re the boss around here.¡±


    Riley scoffed, ¡°This is the difference between being actually capable and someone who¡¯s sole merit is


    their face.¡±


    Lydia said proudly, ¡°Are you jealous? Is it hurting your low self-esteem? No matter what, the person


    standing next to Euan is me right now. The one who¡¯s going to be with him and take care of his every


    need, including his sexual needs¡­will be ultimately me as well.¡±


    She dragged out her tone and said the word ¡°sexual needs¡± sensually.


    She wanted to rile Riley up!


    Riley jeered, ¡°Oh you sure did a great job taking care of him, he even got admitted to the hospital


    because his stomach was bleeding from excessive alcohol. Lydia, you¡¯re really capable!¡±


    Lydia gritted her teeth, she didn¡¯t think that she would dig her own grave, ¡°Riley! Don¡¯t be so full of


    yourself. One day, I¡¯ll make you regret everything, and you¡¯ll kneel before me, begging for my


    forgiveness!¡±


    She then stomped on the ground with her high heels.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll be waiting, Miss Big Wig,¡± Riley scorned at her without mincing her words.


    Riley tookrge strides and went into the VIP patient¡¯s room.


    She moved quickly, efficiently and urately.


    Lydia clenched her teeth and fists. Riley, that bitch!


    She stomped in her heels and leapt onto the bed ahead of Riley. She cried out achingly, ¡°Euan, I came


    here directly from the set after I got the phone call. I was so worried, what happened? Why is your


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    stomach bleeding? ¡°


    Riley was disgusted at Lydia¡¯s coquettish and flighty tone of voice.


    It was aggravating!


    Euan sat on the bed without any expression on his face, ¡°Go back if you¡¯re busy.¡±


    Riley smiled, Lydia was possibly in the same boat with her, not being able to get on Euan¡¯s good side.


    But Lydia was different, she wasn¡¯t going to back down just from that. She was persistent, or perhaps


    thick-skinned.


    ¡°Oh no, I¡¯m just saying. And also you are more important than my work. Does your stomach still hurt?


    Let me rub the pain away¡­¡± Lydia reached out her hand and was about to touch his stomach.


    So shameless.


    Riley didn¡¯t care how her man and his mistress went about behind her back, but she couldn¡¯t let them


    do lovey-dovey stuff right under her nose!


    Riley stopped hesitating, she walked up and smiled disdainfully at Lydia in her whiteb coat. She was


    being aggressive.


    ¡°Miss Saunders, please move your hand away.¡±


    Riley said extremely coldly.


    Lydia felt ufortable and she stopped what she was doing. She crossed her arms and snickered, ¡°I


    was wondering who it is, but it¡¯s just you, the great Dr Watson.¡±


    Riley looked at her scornfully, ¡°There¡¯s more to that. I¡¯m his wife, Miss Saunders.¡±


    She imed sovereignty and Lydia had a horrid look on her face.


    If it was only Euan in the room, Riley wouldn¡¯t ever say something like this.


    Euan frowned, he didn¡¯t agree nor disagree.


    His indifference riled Lydia up and she provoked Riley vehemently, ¡°Wife? Dr Watson, I don¡¯t know any


    husbands and wives that live separately after getting married, nor that I know any wives who cannot


    bear her husband a single child even after 3 years.¡±


    She wasshing out at Riley, saying mean and disdainful words to Riley to make her look bad.


    Riley subconsciously nced at Euan. He was indifferent and didn¡¯t say any word.


    She should¡¯ve known better. Why did she think that he would help her by saying something?


    It had been three years and she should be used to it by now.


    She was used to it, and she shouldn¡¯t hope for anything anymore.


    ¡°Wow, I didn¡¯t know that you are so familiar with my life story, Miss Saunders. Though, I must kindly


    remind you that no matter what, I¡¯m still his official wife on paper. And you, you are just a mistress who


    can never be presented in public.¡±


    What Riley said triggered Lydia and Lydia¡¯s rage and hatred towards Riley was about to overflow.


    Three years ago or today, she couldn¡¯t win against Riley.


    This time, Riley managed to slightly provoke her, and Lydia was about to lose control.


    Riley thought to herself, ¡°Lydia never learned.¡±


    Lydia snickered, ¡°So what? Euan doesn¡¯t love you anyway. As you said, you¡¯re just a wife on paper!


    What you are proud of?¡±


    Riley clenched her fist in her pocket. What Lydia said was true and to Riley, the truth was an


    unspeakable pain. Her heart ached as if Lydia had ripped open her abdomen, and then grasped and


    squeezed her heart mercilessly!


    For the past three years, she and Euan were husband and wife on paper. Other than him getting drunk


    and forcefully had sex with her during their first night together after the wedding, they never spent much


    time together in the same room. Even if they were to, it always ended with them arguing.


    Technically she was Mrs George, but she was basically a widow for thest three years.


    But Riley wasn¡¯t going to fall into Lydia¡¯s trap. She pondered briefly and smiled coolly, ¡°True, it¡¯s just on


    paper. But in the end, you can only look at me from afar, and cast your greedy eyes on my man and my


    position as his wife. After all, I am Mrs George and not you.¡±


    Riley said it all out nonchntly, not even putting on any airs. It was obvious that Lydia had lost this


    round.


    But Lydia pulled out her ultimate weapon, she held Euan¡¯s arm and cried crocodile tears, ¡°Euan, look at


    her, she is so shameless! She is still so obsessed with you even though she knows that you don¡¯t like


    her!¡±


    Riley grimaced.


    A crying face and some tears, a simple yet lethal weapon of a pretty woman. Unfortunately, it was


    something that Riley could never do. She wasn¡¯t bothered to pull such a stunt.


    Even if her heart broke into million pieces, even if she was in utter despair, and even if she was so


    anguished that she was in agony, she would still never shed a tear in front of Euan.


    Euan looked at Lydia and he gave Riley the side-eyes, ¡°Leave.¡±


    His word shed her heart like a sharp knife. He told her to leave?!


    How dare he protect his mistress in this situation? Did he still remember that she was his wife?


    Right, she was only a wife on paper. She was just an ornament. He would take her out during the


    festive seasons and put her on disy, after that she would be forgotten and get tucked into a box.


    Riley held her temper as she cringed. She smiled craftily, ¡°Leave? Well, you are my patient, and I am


    the doctor who is in charge of you. I need to examine your wounds and the idlers are the ones who


    should leave the room right now.¡±


    Riley was obviously talking about Lydia.


    They were best friends three years ago, Riley even almost died to save her. But the whole time Lydia


    was plotting to seduce her man and making her amon target for scorn.


    Lydia acted as nothing had happened, but Riley couldn¡¯t.


    Lydia was crying even harder, her tears fell like the rain during monsoon. She deserved her reputation


    as an actress, crying like that so effortlessly as if she was the victim of the story.


    But Riley didn¡¯t give a damn!


    Euan hooted impatiently, ¡°Get out, don¡¯t make me repeat myself.¡±


    Riley strengthened her grasp on the medical record file. It was as if Euan had pped her on the face,


    pping her right in front of his mistress until her cheek swelled in pain.


    Riley couldn¡¯t smile anymore, she clenched her fist tightly and said, ¡°I am your doctor and I need to


    examine you right now. Don¡¯t make me repeat myself.¡±


    After that Riley walked up to the bed and forcefully pushed Lydia who was acting meekly next to Euan


    away.


    Lydia was stunned, her mouth was wide open. She didn¡¯t think that Riley would do that to her!


    Euan red coldly at Riley, his eyes were piercing.


    Riley put on her stethoscope efficiently and pulled up his shirt. She ced the cold device on his skin


    and Euan quivered upon contact.


    After examining his heartbeat, Riley hung her stethoscope around her neck and took out a small


    torchlight from her pocket, ¡°Open your mouth.¡±


    Euan was speechless.


    Riley was getting impatient, ¡°open your mouth.¡±


    Lydia was shocked!


    ¡°Riley, how could you talk to Euan like that?¡±


    But Riley didn¡¯t give a shit about Lydia, she stared at Euan¡¯s lips as the torchlight shined on it. Riley


    gulped, these lips kissed hers ever so forcefully before. It once lingered on her corbone and


    caressed her whole body¡­


    ¡°Either you shut your trap, or you get out of the room. Will you be able to bear the responsibility if


    something were to go wrong with the diagnosis?¡±


    Lydia was fuming inside, but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything back.


    Euan frowned and opened his mouth.


    ¡°Stick out your tongue.¡±


    Euan was speechless again, but he did as he was told.


    ¡°All done.¡±


    Riley switched off the torchlight and put it back into her pocket. She wrote something swiftly on the


    medical record file, her doctor¡¯s handwriting looked like nonsensical scribbles.


    Lydia was curious and she peeked at it. Riley generously held it in front of her face and said, ¡°Can you


    understand anything?¡±


    Her tone was filled with contempt.


    Lydia had noeback.


    Euan looked at Riley peculiarly. It was as if a switch in him was turned on and he had trains of weird


    thoughts in his head.


    Riley¡¯s series of actions offended Euan. Annoyance brooded over his head. He didn¡¯t like being yelled


    at by females.


    ¡°Get out, now.¡±


    Riley put the cap back on the pen. Her heart ached, but it didn¡¯t show on her face, ¡°I¡¯m done. I¡¯ll leave


    even without you telling me.¡±


    She then proceeded to leave the room.


    As she left the room, she heard an earsplitting sound of a ss being thrown onto the ground. She


    didn¡¯t stop walking, but she was flustered.


    She didn¡¯t think that he hated her to this point.


    ¡°Euan, don¡¯t get angry over her, it¡¯s not worth it. Calm down, Riley is just a bitch¡­¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t want to listen to what was going toe next.


    A breeze swept pass the corridor and Riley shivered. She looked indifferent, but her heart was filled


    with turmoil and chaos.


    So what if she won against Lydia?


    To him, she was still the loser. There was no way for her to overturn the situation.


    Sheughed at herself as raised her head. She then let out a sigh and walked to the duty room.


    There were a few emergencies in the afternoon. It was already 5 pm when she was finally done.


    Riley wasn¡¯t on the night shift today, but the head of the hospital told her to look after Euan all the day


    and hence she had to work overtime today. She had her dinner in the hospital restlessly and as she


    entered the duty room, she overheard the conversation of a few gossipy and bored nurses.


    ¡°Lydia Saunders was at the hospital today and personally cared for Euan George. The reporters filled


    the corridors! It was a scene to behold!¡±


    ¡°So, Lydia Saunders and Euan George are a couple? That must be it, the rich men only love sexy


    celebrities and young beautiful models.¡±


    ¡°But Euan George is so handsome! He can have any woman he wants! Millions of women are waiting


    for him to set his eyes on them! I would die to spend a night with Euan George.¡±


    ¡°Silly girl, there¡¯s more than that to life!¡±


    ¡°Yes, but it¡¯s Euan George! He¡¯srger than life.¡±


    The nurses stopped talking when they heard Riley¡¯s footsteps.


    ¡°Dr Watson¡­You are on night shift today?¡± asked one of the nurses cautiously.


    Riley flipped open a medical book and proceeded to read it. She answered in a low voice, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    The nurses exchanged nced with each other, they then asked after mustering their courage, ¡°Dr


    Watson, we heard that the head of the hospital made you in charge of Euan George¡­ Whom you will


    bring on your patrolter in the night?¡±


    Normally, the doctor would bring one or two nurses on their patrol. Riley was the internist responsible


    for the VIP patients, and she had the authority to order any of the nurses here toe with her. Riley


    flipped a page and peered unemotionally at the lines in the book, ¡°What?¡±


    The expression on the nurses changed as if they saw rays of hope. They courteously requested,


    ¡°Could you bring me with you, Dr Watson?¡±


    ¡°Could you take me¡­¡±


    ¡°Bring me as well¡­¡±


    Riley nced at the nurses on duty. The night shifts were usually boring and that was why they were


    looking for something fun to do. But they couldn¡¯t just meet Euan just because they wanted to.


    Such a joke.


    Not to mention that he was her husband. She couldn¡¯t have him, but she wasn¡¯t so generous to share


    him with everyone else.


    ¡°I¡¯m going alone.¡±


    The nurses were disappointed.


    Suddenly, a rapid rm rang across the duty room.


    ¡°Riley, what¡¯s wrong with you? I thought that you are mature and steady and hence I made you in


    charge of Euan. But you didn¡¯t even know that your patient had a fever! You are an experienced doctor,


    I didn¡¯t need to remind you about how severe it could be when a patient with GI bleeding develops a


    fever!?¡±


    Riley was taken aback from being reprimanded and berated. She had no clue that Euan had a fever!

 Chapter 3 Mr. George Lost Control

    Chapter 3 Mr. George Lost Control


    Wasn¡¯t he fine when they were quarreling a while ago?


    Oh wait, that was a few hours ago.


    ¡°I¡­¡±


    ¡°Not another word and go apologize to Euan George right now. I won¡¯t have your back if he decides to


    threaten your career.¡±


    Apo¡­apologize?!


    ¡°Director¡­¡±


    ¡°Go apologize or get lost. Your call!¡±


    ck!


    The phone was hung up.


    Riley bit her lip. When was this mess going to end? No ce was ever at peace with Euan¡¯s presence.


    Aware of the situation, the nurses made way for Riley to Euan¡¯s ward.


    The whole room heard what the director said in the end of the phone call, so they didn¡¯t dare to trigger


    her at this moment. Everyone tried to crack a smile at her.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, be careful when you goter¡­¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, don¡¯t you worry about us. We¡­¡±


    Pacing back and forth in the corridor with a heavy heart, Riley¡¯s face was dead grim. She would rather


    quit than to apologize to him.


    But on a second thought¡­


    Her marriage with Euan was like a broken raft in thunderstorm, which might sink at any moment. She


    would lose both her career and marriage if she really quitted.


    And that would be so embarrassing!


    After contemting, she decided she couldn¡¯t quit.


    Riley made up her mind and open to door to the ward¡­


    Euan was leaning on the bed, flipping a file his secretary had sent him. His thick brows were raised


    slightly as he read it, and he seemed to have gotten much better now.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    He didn¡¯t seem like he was having a high fever at all!


    Euan didn¡¯t cast a single gaze at Riley since she walked into the room.


    Fully aware he was ignoring her, Riley had no choice but to be the first one to break the silence. ¡°I


    heard you got a fever.¡±


    She didn¡¯t bother to try to be courteous even though she was the one at fault here. She talked to him in


    a calm and official tone.


    Back then, she was always cautious with her words, but ended up getting his ridicule every single time.


    Now she waszy to do that anymore.


    Euan didn¡¯t look up at her but continue to fix his eyes at the contract papers he was flipping with his


    slender fingers. He said ndly, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t my attending doctor know of my medical condition?¡±


    Mocking inadvertently, he emphasized the words ¡°attending doctor¡± slightly.


    She didn¡¯t let it got to her. She had learned Euan would always find wrong in whatever she did.


    Feeling her heart beating faster, Riley¡¯s gaze involuntarily fell on Euan¡¯s face. As if it was a curse, she


    had been thinking about his exquisite features every night before she fell asleep.


    ¡°It seems you¡¯re already doing quite well. I¡¯ll stop bothering you then.¡±


    Riley reminded herself, she wanted to leave the encounter with pride and her self esteem intact.


    Euan removed the cap of his pen and began to sign the papers swiftly.


    His brows furrowed as he heard what she said. He closed the file and picked up another one. Then, he


    reached for the cup of tea on the table and took a sip while lying ckly in the bed.


    His poised manner triggered Riley. What did he want really?


    Just when Riley¡¯s legs almost got cramped from the standing, Euan finally finished his tea and said with


    a cool calm voice, ¡°Dr. Watson, aren¡¯t you going to perform your duty?¡±


    Coming back to her senses, Riley walked up to the bedside and took out the medical record. ¡®Fine, I¡¯ll


    do my duty,¡¯ she thought.


    ¡°The fever has already subsided. Your current body temperature is 36.5 degree Celsius. I¡¯ll follow up


    with your condition tonight.¡±


    Not a word from Euan.


    ¡°Was there any blood regurgitation?¡±


    ¡°Does your stomach still hurt?¡±


    ¡°Do you feel feverish?¡±


    With a cool aura, Euan didn¡¯t give her a single gaze but remained silent while scanning through the file


    in his hands.


    Riley couldn¡¯t simply tick the boxes on the medical record if he didn¡¯t say anything. Sensing he was


    recovering quite well, she gave him some friendly reminder.


    ¡°Your stomach bleeding was caused by excessive alcohol consumption. You can¡¯t drink any alcohol for


    the next whole month.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯ll be better for you to take light food from now on. Porridge is a good choice for your current


    condition. And it¡¯ll be better to not have any strong tea before you¡¯re fully recovered.¡±


    ¡°Do not drink milk with an empty stomach, it¡¯ll cause excess secretion of gastric acid¡­¡±


    Before she could finish, Euan shot her a cold gaze. She felt as if the air in the room moved slower as


    he stared at her with his razor sharp gaze.


    ¡°Any other nonsense?¡±


    Riley was at a loss for words upon hearing that.


    Nonsense? All those kind reminders she gave were all nonsense to him?


    Nice.


    Riley couldn¡¯t care much anymore and ticked all the boxes on the medical record. It seemed he was in


    a good physical condition!


    ¡°No. That¡¯s all.¡±


    Damn! She knew she shouldn¡¯t have embarrassed herself like this!


    Euan was frowning imperceptibly. She only gave these official medical reminders to her husband?


    Huh¡­


    ¡°Good.¡±


    His attitude was fully depicted in his stone cold tone when he said.


    Euan reached for the cup again and realized the cup was already empty. Displeasure shed across


    his face. ¡°Fill the cup.¡±


    Riley narrowed her eyes. Filled his cup? That was a nurse¡¯s job, and she was a doctor¡­


    Despite what she was thinking, Riley was already walking towards the cup. She decided to conform


    just this once for the sake of him being so ill.


    After pouring him a cup of hot water and put it on the table, Riley reminded him, ¡°It¡¯s hot.¡±


    Without giving her any reaction, Euan looked at the hem of her white coat from the corner of his eyes


    and retrieved them back onto the white ceramic cup. He took the cup to his lips and blew at the


    steaming water.


    Riley¡¯s heart skipped a beat while looking at his actions.


    He was well known as the kryptonite of women, the public enemy of men, the genius in the business


    world, and a legend in his own kind. And Riley couldn¡¯t deny that. She had to admit, this man in front of


    her had unique noble charm that just couldn¡¯t be impersonated.


    Euan was a workaholic. Back then, she cared a lot for him. She had always served him tea and


    prepared him supper.


    She felt like a blessed woman just by watching him.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    It was until she saw him with Lydia. The way he interacted intimately with Lydia left a deep scar in her


    heart.


    She thought they would have each other for the rest of their lifetime, but apparently he didn¡¯t think the


    same way.


    She felt stupid for having much hope for their marriage.


    Seeing Riley was still standing there after he finished his tea, the corner of Euan¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°You


    mesmerized with me already?¡±


    Riley was speechless.


    ¡°Or do you want to stay for the night?¡±


    ¡°¡­Sorry, doctors don¡¯t provide such service.¡± Riley was caught off guard by his flirtatious remark. Was


    he actually sick in the head instead of the stomach?


    Or, did he grow to rely on others too when he was sick?


    Or was he trying to get her attention?


    Riley took a deep breath. She was going to tell him that she could stay with him if he wanted her


    Euan pointed towards the door. ¡°Then get out of here right now.¡±


    Riley almost couldn¡¯t breathe upon hearing that. How silly of her to fantasize that!


    She swallowed all the words she was going to say back into her throat. She was totally defeated.


    ¡°All right, I¡¯ll get out of here now!¡±


    With that said, Riley turned around to leave. She was trying hard to hold back her tears. It seemed she


    still cared, because she was feeling hurt by his words.


    Euan put down the file in his hands in frustration. A scene from three years ago shed across his


    mind.


    It was a midnight when Lydia gave him a call and told him his newly-wed wife was cheating on him.


    Doubtfully, he went to check out the ce.


    In a suite at the top floor of a hotel, the half-naked Riley lied on a king-size bed with a lecherous look,


    while a naked man on top of her got down from the bed and fled.


    He used to think she was indifferent towards him because she hadn¡¯t fallen in love with him yet. He


    didn¡¯t expect her to cheat on him the second day into their marriage.


    He never confronted her about it, but also never touched her again after the incident.


    After three years, she still treated him as she always did. She was always calm, rational, and


    unaffected by whatever he did as if she wasn¡¯t his wife.


    Damn! Why did he fall in love with this temperament of her in the first ce!


    Throughout these three years, her poised nonchnt smile always shed across his mind whenever


    he closed his eyes.


    That was why he deliberately reacted to the solicitation from his best friend, Lydia, so he could trigger


    her and made her feel his pain!


    And how did she react to that?


    Still indifferent and nonchnt as always!


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Euan¡¯s prating voice shot towards her before she could move her feet.


    ¡°You were the one who asked me to leave, so I have to¡­Ah!¡±


    Euan grabbed her right wrist tightly before she could finish her words.


    With a hard yank, he pulled Riley onto his body with a huge plump.


    Ignoring the pain and grabbing hold of her wrists, he flipped over and pressed Riley underneath him.


    Riley was forced to look into his menacing gaze. But she held her ground just in time and didn¡¯t give


    away how shocked she was feeling.


    No sign of fidgety was shown in her expression.


    Euan¡¯s eyes were shooting daggers at this woman underneath him. ¡°Riley Watson, what do you


    want?!¡±


    His life was in a huge mess because of her!


    Why did he be an alcoholic? Why did he stay up all night working? Why did he move out into an


    apartment? Why did he never say he was single to all the women he slept with?


    Was this woman dumb or something? Didn¡¯t she get it after he had done all those things?


    Riley smirked at his cold gaze. ¡°Me? That¡¯s the question I actually want to ask you, Mr. George.¡±


    Did he ever think about how she felt when he slept with all those celebrities and spent all those money


    buying luxurious house and sports car for Lydia?


    Mr. George? She even called him Mr. George just like all those people who wanted to curry favor with


    him!


    Riley¡¯s aloof attitudepletely set Euan off. He felt like digging into the deepest part of her heart to


    see if there was still any conscience left inside!


    ¡°What do I want? Let me show you!¡±


    Brutally pressing Riley underneath him, Euan relentlessly bit her lips.


    ¡°Ugh¡­!¡±


    Riley moaned at the pain in her lips. With his temper growing, Euan sat on her restless slender legs,


    locked her hands behind her back with one hand, and ripped her white coat into half with the other¡­


    Riley tried hard to struggle her way out but to no avail. She was physically overwhelmed. Just in a few


    moments, the shirt underneath her coat was ripped off too, her undergarment was the only cover she


    had left.


    Euan halted for a second after taking a nce at it. He didn¡¯t expect her figure to develop into such


    perfect shape in the span of the past three years. Her slender corbone and silky skin were seductive.


    As he lowered his gaze, he was provoked at the sight of the voluptuous pair with a deep cleavage in


    front of him.


    He immediately let go of her lips and charged at the plump pair barbarously!


    ¡°Ah¡­ Euan!¡± Riley chided sternly at the sharp pain. ¡°This was a ward! In a hospital! Euan you jerk!¡±


    The word ¡°Euan¡± struck him like a thunder. He finally heard her calling his name again after three


    years.


    What more there was to be scruple of if this was so effective?


    Flipping up her undergarment with one hand, Euan leaned over on Riley¡¯s body. He red coldly into


    Riley¡¯s furious eyes. ¡°Scream! Scream all you want!¡±


    This pervert!


    How could she scream? A nurse might pass by the ward at any time. Even though this was a VIP


    premium ward, she knew better than anyone else how bad was the soundproofing in this hospital.


    The louder she screamed, the more she would ruin her own reputation.


    Riley had no choice but to shut up.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Go ahead and scream! Do you not want to let people know your identity? Mrs.


    George!¡±


    Fuck!


    Riley gritted her teeth. ¡°Euan, what are you doing?!¡±


    Euan pinched her chin tightly. Riley¡¯s hair scattered out on the pillow, her fair cheek carried an


    ambiguous charm under the dim light.


    ¡°What am I doing? Don¡¯t you get it yet?¡±


    With his hands on her waist, Euan took off his patient gown and thrust in¡­

 Chapter 4 Did Not Want to Be an Eyesore

    Chapter 4 Did Not Want to Be an Eyesore


    It had been three years, Riley had long forgotten this bone-chilling feeling, she could not even breathe


    properly. Only the sweat in her forehead, checks and neck showed that she was in pain.


    ¡°Euan¡­ you, you bastard¡­¡±


    ¡°What do you call me?¡± Euan¡¯s voice was husky and sexy, ¡°Isn''t this what the pretentious Dr. Watson


    wanted? Back then you were willing to climb into some other man¡¯s bed, but now you are unwilling to


    serve your own husband? I''m a bastard? Of course, I¡¯m a bastard! I''ll be a bastard for you today!¡±


    What? Other man?


    ¡°I ... don''t know what you''re talking about!¡± Riley roared with all her strength.


    ¡°You want to hear me repeat it? Heh! I am not ashamed to mention it again!¡±


    The waning moon outside the window was brightly lit, Riley closed her eyes to keep the tears from


    gushing out, she swore that she would not shed another tear for Euan even again.


    ...


    Day was breaking outside the window.


    Euanzily covered himself with a corner of the nket, revealing his tight and firm abs with his long


    and strong legs. Meanwhile, Riley¡¯s waist hurt as if it was about to break, she even had to pressed the


    bed to sit up. The man next to her did not move, he even didn¡¯t raise his head.


    Riley gritted her teeth and as she lifted the nket to see a puddle of bright red color, she frowned


    fiercely.


    Three years, twice, both were in bloodshed.


    Heh!


    After pulling a nket to wrap herself, Riley was ready to get out of bed, Euan coldly snorted, ¡°There is


    no need to cover yourself, there is nothing good to see.¡±


    Riley tilted her head, her eyes were hot as if some liquid was about to gush out, she smiled faintly and


    said without looking back, ¡°Yes, there is nothing good to see, so I didn¡¯t want to be an eyesore.¡±


    Euan frowned. She said in this kind of tone again!


    Picking up the clothes on the ground, Riley was discouraged. Her white coat and shirt had be


    rags, how could she go outter?


    Riley threw away her clothes, feeling disappointed, she then walked into the bathroom barefooted.


    After a while, the sound of water flowing could be heard.


    Euan¡¯s eyes looked at the figure at the ss of the bathroom, as he heavily inhaled a breath, he felt


    both an inexplicable irritation and unexined relief at the same time, his mood wasplicated.


    Riley cleaned her body, then used both her hands to cover her private part, what should she do? How


    could she go outter in this state? The duty room had recement white coats, but right now how


    could she get it?


    Moreover, it will be too evocative if someone saw her in this state early in the morning appearing at


    Euan¡¯s hospital room


    Wrapped in a bath towel, Riley came out. She ruffled her hair with her hands, letting her wet hair rested


    on her shoulders, which looked unrestrained.


    With great reluctance, she said coldly, ¡°Give me a shirt.¡±


    Euan pillowed one of his arms, as if he did not care to look at the woman who had even softer and


    whiter skin aftering out from the bath, her bare legs could be seen below her tower, and her jade-


    like toes.


    ¡°Oh? You want to borrow clothes?¡±


    Riley was extremely angry and showed a fake smile, ¡°Then, is Mr. George willing to do so?¡±


    At the same time, Riley observed the clothes rack in the bedroom, there was a beige men''s trench coat


    hanging on it, which was perfect for covering herself.


    Euan slightly raised thin lips, his gaze was deep and cold, ¡°Of course I can borrow it to you, but you


    have to wear it facing me.¡±


    Riley, ¡°¡­ alright!¡±


    They already did it. Changing clothes in front of him was considered easy! She was never a pretentious


    woman!


    After letting down her tower, Riley wore the trench coat, her arms slipped into the wide sleeves, the two


    trench coat became a long-sleeved trench coat for women after being worn by her.


    Although Euan pretended to be indifferent throughout the whole process, he was stunned in the heart.


    This was the first time he had the chance to appreciate her body in the sunlight. Her skin looked fair


    and soft. The morning light also helped to highlight her waist. She looked like a flowingndscape


    painting... her body, was actually damn perfect!


    Her hips under her waist looked plump, her two long legs was slender and well-proportioned, as well as


    bright and pure like a jade.


    It just that... this damn woman, how can she change in front of him so calmly! She did this in front of


    how many man before...shit!


    After getting dressed, Riley was wrapped in Euan¡¯s scent, a faint agave smell, mixed with lily smoked


    incense which could permeate the heart.


    This long-lost scent¡­was really unforgettable.


    Before the day dawnedpletely, Riley ignored the strange eyes of the doctors and nurses in the


    aisle and left the hospital with her head held high.


    After a whole night of tossing and turning, Riley was physically and mentally exhausted. She quickly


    called a cab and went straight to her home.


    The so-called home was a rented bachelor apartment, an apartment with just a bedroom and a living


    room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It was simple and neat, clean and bright.


    After kicking off the high heels she wore, Riley pulled off the trench coat,zilyid in the bath, and


    closed her eyes as the warm water came to her body.


    So tired, the tiredness could be felt from the sole of her shoes up to the top of her head.


    She felt tired when she did not meet up with him.


    She felt even more tired when she did meet up with him.


    As her body slipped down, Riley hid in the water while holding a breath. In the clear water, her beautiful


    ketone body looked white as snow, her long straight slender legs slightly curved with two arms swaying


    with the waves and her seaweed-like long hair floating on the water.


    After taking a nice nap, she made herself a simple lunch, and spent the afternoon watching a movie.


    In these three years, Riley had been trained to be not afraid of anything, no matter how Euan


    tormented her and no matter how bitchy Lydia could be, she could still continue to live her life.


    Otherwise, she would have died of anger.


    As she was just about to go out, the phone rang.


    ¡°Dr. Watson...e quickly! The ambnce at our hospital just sent in two persons with alcohol


    poisoning!¡±


    Alcohol poisoning?


    ¡°Where are the others?¡±


    ¡°Did you forget that today our department had sent them away to study? The people from the main


    force is not avable, we can only count on you!"


    ¡°I''lle immediately!¡±


    Riley ran out quickly and called a taxi, she rushed to the hospital as fast as possible. She wore a white


    shirt, jeans plus a pair of casual shoes. Her attire was different from what she usually wore.


    The nurses froze.


    Riley took a nce at the medical case, ¡°How are the patients doing?¡±


    The nurse came back to reality, ¡°Oh! Both of them are allergic to alcohol and are currently unconscious,


    and one has been in shock for more than half an hour.¡±


    ¡°Did you give them emetics?¡±


    Riley was being swift the decisive, while striding along and asking.


    ¡°Not yet, we were not sure whether to give them emetics or gastricvage.¡±


    ¡°The patients had severe poisoning so prepare to inject in some hormones. Remember to dehydrate


    the lower cranial pressure after ten minutes!"


    ¡°Yes, Dr. Watson!¡±


    People who had seen Riley¡¯s medical skills knew that her title of ¡°The ace doctor of general medicine¡±


    in JD Central Hospital was not just for show.


    Two patients were admitted at the same time, and there were only a few doctors left on duty while two


    of them were interns, so Riley was the only one to take the lead.


    After a busy time, the patient''s condition was finally stabilized.


    ¡°Why are you drinking? Don''t you want to live?¡± Riley wiped off the sweat from her forehead and coldly


    rebuked two men of about thirty-five years old.


    One of them smiled awkwardly, ¡°We also did not want to drink, but we were doing business, we cannot


    reject drinking it. If we do, people won¡¯t sign the contract,¡±


    Another person nodded, ¡°Doing business in this period of time, being good at drinking is better than


    being good at talking, people like us who are allergic to alcohol, in the future will¡­¡±


    Afterwards, Riley did not continue to hear anything said by those two patients. Her mind was about


    Euan, he was not addicted to alcohol, and he always drink moderately when doing work.


    In her memories, it was always other who came to talk business with Euan, He never needed to lower


    his head to others in business. He had an aura of being alone in the clouds, born to be a leader who


    conquered the world.


    However, it had been so long since she contacted him. Did he get into trouble in his work, or did he


    face some problems in his business?


    Otherwise, why would he drink so much?


    ¡°No matter what, your health is most important, you can always earn more money, but you only have


    one life.¡± Riley quickly wrote on the medical record book and gave the warning.


    This sentence was said for them to listen, even more so for Euan.


    He really was brainless, no matter how workaholic he was, he did not have to work until that extend.


    After dealing with the emergency, Riley unconsciously came to Euan¡¯s ward.


    She looked at Euan through the window, his face from the side looked so perfect as if he were a


    sculpture. When he lowered his head, it formed a straight rough line with his neck. The afternoon


    sunlight shone along the top of his head from the side, illuminating arge part of his face. His


    eyshes could even be seen from far away because of that.


    Eh ... what was she thinking about?


    ¡°Dr. Watson, good afternoon.¡±


    As she was fascinated by what she saw, a nurse on duty approached her and greeted her politely and


    respectfully.


    ¡°Hm.¡± She slightly nodded her head as responds to the nurse.


    Seeing that the nurse was about to pass by her, Riley hastily said in a rough voice, ¡°Remind Mr.


    George that the patient should rest more and not overexert himself.¡±


    The nurse swallowed her saliva, her small face puckered, ¡°Dr. ¡­ Dr. Watson, Mr. George, he ...¡±


    God, how would she dare to go there?


    ¡°Is there any problem? As a nurse, did you forget even the most basic code of practice? Do you need


    me to remind you again?¡± Riley¡¯s voice was not too loud or too soft so it carries its own deterrent effect.


    ¡°I ... am going there now.¡±


    The nurse entered the ward, Riley moved a few steps towards the door, and a few secondster he


    saw the nursee out with red eyes.


    ¡°What''s wrong?¡±


    Riley herself did not even realize how urgent her voice was when she asked the question.


    The nurse tilted her head to look at her, tears fell, ¡°Dr. Watson, Mr. George just ... said two word¡­ he


    let me piss off.¡±


    Somehow, Riley wanted tough. She waved her hand to dismiss the nurse who was scared and


    crying, her hands were in her pocket as she looked at Euan inside through the window.


    ¡®Euan, even after three years, you had not changed at all.¡¯


    ¡®No, you had be more cold-blooded.¡¯


    As Riley was about to leave, an extremely cold voice came from inside the ward. His voice seemed to


    be filtered with ice water, and it sounded fiercely cold when she heard it!


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    Riley frowned; how did he know she was outside?


    Or maybe he was calling someone else?


    ¡°Do not let me repeat the same words for the second time.¡±


    Riley¡¯s octave low voice carried an innate maic and deep rhythm, even if she was Riley Watson,


    she could only obediently obey.


    After pushing and entering the door, Riley still stood straight, her watery eyes looked at him, assuming


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    the posture of a doctor and faintly said, ¡°Mr. George, are you ufortable?¡±

 Chapter 5 A Quarrel? A Fresh Experience

    Chapter 5 A Quarrel? A Fresh Experience


    Euan looked at Riley Watson and said casually, ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner together with my parents tomorrow.¡±


    She thought that he would ridicule her but who knew that he gave her tremendous news directly.


    The George family? The George family was definitely the ce that she did not want to go the most in


    this world. It was even a nightmare when it was a family dinner!


    Riley pursed her lips subconsciously and she would be terrified whenever thought of the George family.


    But, she would not express any of her restlessness towards Euan. She said, ¡°Ok.¡±


    She replied with only a single word, showing that she had a casual attitude towards this matter.


    Finally, Euan raised his eyes from the documents and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you ask why?¡±


    She wanted to know the reason for sure because when she did not even have a mental preparation


    before going there, she would definitely get beaten up.


    Riley controlled herself stubbornly for not exposing her emotions and asked, ¡°Why?¡±


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    Euan had already lowered his head to continue reading the documents and said, ¡°Hendrix ising


    back tomorrow so a banquet will be hosted at home to wee him.¡±


    Hendrix?


    Riley thought of the name for quite a while and finally remembered after some time. Euan had a half-


    brother named Hendrix George.


    He went overseas to pursue his studies five years ago and never returned during this period of time.


    There used to be lots of rumors about these two young masters of the George family but they were just


    a piece of words from others and they were exaggerated badly.


    She did not know what the appearance of her brother-inw was.


    ¡°Alright, I will attend tomorrow.¡±


    After Riley replying, she waited for Euan¡¯s reaction quietly. Regarding this trip to George''s family, did


    they go together or went separately and met at the entrance? Was there any nning needed to be


    done before going there?


    Shouldn¡¯t he tell her?


    But, Euan was unconcerned about this and did not have any reaction afterwards.


    After reading the documents, Euan signed his signature using a pen. The long and thin fingers with


    distinct joints were in sharp contrast with the ck pen and it was difficult for others to lose focus on it.


    The pen was moving rapidly and a powerful cursive script was produced in one wave, resulting in the


    words seemingly breaking through the paper.


    The hands were beautiful and it was the same for the words too.


    Riley waspletely bewitched again.


    Euan put down the documents and realized that Riley was still there so he asked with a low but


    attractive voice, ¡°Something else?¡±


    Riley recovered suddenly and it meant that she was required to go personally since there was no


    special instruction.


    She thought that Euan was looking down at her to the extent that he did not want to ride the same car


    with her.


    It was fine for him to dislike her because she would just ignore him.


    ¡°I am your attending physician and going to do the recovery check now. You will only know whether you


    can be discharged from the hospital after this check.¡±


    Euan frowned and said, ¡°No need to check. I must discharge tomorrow.¡±


    Rileyughed and said, ¡°I am so sorry, Mr George. You are in a hospital and I am a doctor so you need


    to listen to me.¡±


    Euan hardly fell sick in these few years so she definitely had to make use of her rights this time. As for


    her personal objective, how could she let Euan discover it?


    Euan kept a straight face obviously but he still outstretched his arm.


    ...


    It was not a small matter to attend the family dinner in George''s family. Her entire body from head to


    heels must be remodeled, especially the smell of disinfected fluid on her body was hated the most by


    thedy in George family.


    The next day was a weekend but Riley woke up early and she could not even find a suitable dress for


    her after searching through the closet.


    As a woman, she would be considered as a loser.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    She took a deep breath and went out with her bag to settle her dressing!


    When she was attending the other banquets previously, Euan would prepare a gown for her and Riley


    knew that he was afraid that she would make him embarrassed for wearing too shabby.


    But now, he only cared about Lydia Saunders and did not take good care of his wretched wife.


    The family dinner was small but the outfit was expensive. Dr Watson felt upset due to the huge amount


    of money spent for the clothes and shoes. The performance fee for this show was terribly expensive!


    Actually, Euan gave her a supplementary card before but he would be notified when the transaction


    was made via the supplementary card and she did not want to let him know.


    She looked at the numbers in her savings ount decreasing tremendously in the text messages and


    she was frustrated!


    ¡°Miss.¡±


    Riley just walked down the stairs gloomily and a voice of a man came from the top. Her anger was


    being ignited and she looked upwards then said fiercely, ¡°Who are you calling!¡±


    The man standing in front of her was estimated below twenty five years old and wearing a hip-hop style


    fashion brand with golden hair. When he smiled, he looked cheerful but slovenly.


    ¡°Then, madam?¡±


    Riley frowned because her feelings were not good at first and it got worse when she met this bad


    youngster. She said, ¡°Who is madam? Do you know how to speak?¡±


    The young manughed slovenly and asked, ¡°Beauty? OK?¡±


    The man raised the corner of his mouth and the look in his eyes was so innocent that Riley could not


    scold him anymore.


    The man noticed that Riley was not that angry already then he smiled and asked, ¡°Beautifuldy, I want


    to ask how to go to Oriental International Hotel.¡±


    Oriental International Hotel? It was the most luxurious six star hotel in JD City.


    Riley could not restrain to look at the man again. Although what he was wearing were fashion brands,


    Riley recognized that his ripped jeans were thetest model of top luxury goods in France and the


    selling price was more than seventy or eighty thousand. There was also a Hermes logo on his luggage


    and the essory hung on his bag¡¯s zip was the handmade limited edition of Gi.


    Oh, he was a rich young man unexpectedly, no wonder he asked the direction for Oriental International


    Hotel.


    Riley pointed towards the junction in front of them and said, ¡°Go straight, turn right, then go straight and


    it is at your right side.¡±


    ¡°Alright, thank you... beauty!¡±


    The man bowed to her and left with his luggage after expressing his gratitude.


    Riley thought of something suddenly but when she raised her head, the man had disappeared from her


    sight.


    She felt confused because she felt that she met him before.


    Riley rode on a public bus to go back to her condominium and when she reached near the main door,


    her eyes turned big. She felt curious about the reason that Euan¡¯s car was there.


    She felt delighted suddenly and tightened her hands when she thought that perhaps they were going to


    depart together.


    But, the door opened and Victor Matthews, Euan¡¯s driver, got off from the car.


    ¡°Mrs. George, the boss ordered me to send something to you.¡± Victor said with a smile.


    Riley felt disappointed. She had not learned the lesson that every expectation would turn into


    disappointment!


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Victor opened the back door and took two bags out from the car. Riley frowned when she noticed the


    logo on the bags.


    ¡°The boss said that you bring these to the family dinner tonight... and these are the present for


    Hendrix.¡±


    Riley smiled bitterly because after all, he was still afraid that she was going to make him embarrassed


    so he bought the gifts. As for keeping up appearances, he was willing to spend big money.


    ¡°If Mrs. George doesn¡¯t have another order, then I leave first.¡±


    When Victor wanted to leave, Riley panicked and asked, ¡°How... is Euan?¡±


    ¡°Oh! The boss had been discharged from the hospital at ten o¡¯ clock this morning and he is in the office


    now. Mrs. George, please be assured since the boss was recovering greatly.¡±


    Riley nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s good. You can go now.¡±


    Riley wore a new gown bought just now. The ck off-the-shoulder and floor-length dress was simple


    but not too vulgar or old-fashioned as well.


    The red high heels coated with diamonds was wless in terms of itsfort and its design.


    Riley looked nkly at herself in the mirror and she thought of women pleased themselves by having


    good appearance. How long had she not been dressed up like this?


    She hesitated and took out her phone. She dialed Euan¡¯s contact number nervously.


    The phone was answered after only a few rang and Riley was surprised that he picked up the phone so


    fast.


    It followed by Euan¡¯s sound from the other side of the phone, ¡°Anything?¡±


    The deep voice was still extremely attractive even though it was on the other side of the phone. Riley


    held her shirt stronger and her hands were damp.


    ¡°I have received the thing....¡± Riley would like to say thanks but she stopped. It was hard for her to say


    it to Euan.


    The other side of the phone remained silent and seemed like he was waiting for her to finish her


    sentence. She should really be pleased when Euan who had such a temper could wait for her call


    patiently.


    Riley took a deep breath and changed the subject, ¡°I wasn¡¯t there when you were discharged from the


    hospital. Do eat the right amount of medicine on time to avoid recurrence of your illness.¡±


    In the office on the top floor of MBK International Corporation at the CBD Business Centre in JD City,


    Euan took his phone at his left hand while flipping through the documents using his right hand. He


    frowned seriously.


    After hearing Riley¡¯s prescription, Euan flipped through the documents even harder and almost


    wrinkled the papers. How many ways did this woman have to make him angry?


    The secretary who was standing at his opposite noticed the sudden change in his facial expression and


    did not dare to speak anything.


    Euan took the coffee cup and when he wanted to drink it, he remembered some words from someone


    and then pointed to the water cup using his fingers. The secretary understood immediately and gave


    Euan a cup of hot water using his both hands.


    After moving the coffee cup to the corner of the table then taking a sip of in water, Euan finally put


    the phone back to his ear.


    Riley was waiting nervously and she was curious about the noise on the other side of the phone. When


    she was waiting impatiently, Euan¡¯s voice was sent through the phone, ¡°You go away from your post


    and leave the patient alone without permission. Why? You want to make up for your mistake?¡±


    Riley pursed her lips and Euan¡¯s calm voice made her embarrassed. She exined, ¡°I am not on duty


    today and you have already recovered.¡±


    Her tone was slightly stiff.


    Euan knocked at the table that was made of Phoebe and said in anger. He said, ¡°I think you don¡¯t want


    to be on duty after this right? If you want to go for a strike, I can help you.¡±


    Riley finally could not stand Euan¡¯s sneer anymore and she said, ¡°I have no time to quarrel with you,


    see you at George residence tonight.¡±


    Riley hung up the phone directly and she regretted calling him!


    The secretary was terrified and looked at Euan. Euan¡¯s expression looked carefree and he signed his


    name then asked the secretary to leave.


    ¡°A quarrel?¡±


    He was thinking of these words carefully and raised his thin lips.


    At night, at the George residence.


    George residence which was located at the central part of arge vi area in the East was a European


    style building of thest century. The three-storey main building of the vi was connected with two


    small two-storey white buildings. There was arge courtyard in front of it. The whole building was quite


    conspicuous in the vi area.


    When the night fell, two ck cars arrived at the main door after the other and the door of Euan¡¯s car


    was opened first. Euan who wore an Italian handmade Armani suit stood beside the car and his strong


    aura pervaded the surrounding, making the air pressure dropped sharply to the breathless extent.


    Riley looked grand in her long gown and her long hair was worn in a delicate bun. Her fair and small


    face was decorated with light make up making her seemed like a newly blooming rose which was


    scented in the night breeze.


    Within a blink of an eye, it seemed like the time had brought them back to a certain time in the past.


    They looked at each other for a few seconds and Riley walked towards him on her high heels. She


    stretched out her arm to hold his arm and the moment her hand slid into her arm, her heart thumped


    wildly, as if she had stolen some rare treasure.


    The hidden restlessness.


    The hidden happiness.


    ¡°I know you are unwilling toe but since you are here already, you need to persevere and


    remember who you are as well as your value.¡±


    The sense of happiness that had just appeared waspletely destroyed by his words. Riley was


    heartbreaking and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    Euan¡¯s tone was fierce and angry but Riley could not understand the reason behind.

 Chapter 6 A Gift on the First Meeting, He Liked It

    Chapter 6 A Gift on the First Meeting, He Liked It


    The two had just stepped into thepound of the George residence when a tall white figure ran from


    the room and stopped in front of the two in few steps.


    "Brother! You''re finally here!"


    Riley Watson''s eyes suddenly widened. This¡­young man in a white tailcoat with meticulously groomed


    hair was actually the punk who asked for directions during the day!


    Hendrix George and Euan George''s looks were not much simr. The temperament waspletely


    different, Euan had a cold characteristic in him while Hendrix was naturally warm and cheerful, and


    people felt that he was friendly.


    With the small episode during the day, Riley and Hendrix both smiled unspokenly.


    "Hello, sister-inw! I long heard that sister-inw is a beauty, and today we finally met. However,


    sister-inw is even more beautiful than what I heard. Brother, you are fortunate!"


    Riley smiled, and before she could say anything, Euan said with a stern face, "You are inquiring about


    news instead of focusing on your study abroad?"


    Hendrix scratched his head and pretended to be ignorant, "Study is certainly important, but I''m also


    concern about Brother''s marriage."


    Euan nced at him, then handed him a handbag that the driver had just handed over, "Your sister-in-


    Riley tilted her head to look at Euan''s side face, trying to find clues from his face. However, all of his


    expression changes seemed to be directed at Hendrix alone, and not taking her into ount at all.


    "Thank you, sister-inw! The gift chosen by sister-inw; I definitely like it!"


    Riley smiled graciously, "It''s not something good either, just as long as you like it."


    Euan''s expression slightly turned serious.


    "Father and mother are waiting inside. Brother and sister-inw, let''s get in!"


    Euan did not say a word, took a step, and walked inside. Hendrix''s eyes drifted inadvertently to Riley


    and thought of something, then shook his head again to deny himself.


    "Let us in. What are you standing still for?" As he stepped onto the steps, Euan coldly and solemnly


    said to Hendrix, who was still standing in ce behind him.


    "I''ming. I was just admiring the night scenery!" Hendrix took two steps to catch up with him.


    Riley was confused. The two brothers have not seen each other for five years. Shouldn''t they first


    exchange greetings and say something like "you grew taller and became handsome"?


    But if these words came out from the mouth of the Euan, how horrible it would be.


    The three of them entered in order. When they were changing their slippers in the foyer, Riley had to


    unclip the crystal buckle of her high heels, and the bag in her hand was in the way. She was about to


    put it on the shoe cab when two hands reached over at the same time.


    The hands of Euan and Hendrix hung together in mid-air. Hendrix shrugged his shoulders and withdrew


    his hand. Euan took her bag, changed his slippers, and went inside.


    Riley was perplexed. The way Euan acted just now; was he trying to y a scene of conjugal love in


    front of his brother?


    That definitely embarrassed him.


    Hendrix lowered his voice andughed, "Sister-inw, Brother is very considerate to you."


    Riley did not deny, "Well, quite good."


    Hendrix added, "Sister-inw, don''t look at my Brother as he was cold and domineering. He is a


    standard gentleman when he is being gentle."


    Riley glimpsed at the tall figure of Euan, and smiled coldly. Was Euan ever gentle? Knock it off.


    The vintage crystal chandelier that hung over therge living room was brightly lit, and the ancient red


    sofa was empty. Jakub George was holding scissors to trim an orchid on the antique shelf.


    "Dad."


    "Dad."


    Both husband and wife greeted in unison. Jakub didn''t even raise his head and continued to fiddle with


    the slender leaves of the orchid, "You''re back. Go sit in the living room."


    "Yes."


    "Yes¡­"


    The quiet living room had a smell that could suffocate people.


    Hendrix snatched the scissors from Jakub''s hand. He was acting cutesy while also seriously smiled


    and said, "Dad, I''vee back after a long time, and you only looked at the flowers and not me. I''m


    heartbroken."


    Jakub''s intense eyes swept his son''s face, "You have grown up. Learn something good instead of


    learning how to act cutesy."


    "Because you are my dad. Of course, I will act cutesy in front of you. Come, dad, let''s sit together."


    Hendrix''s series of actions shocked Riley. Damn, Hendrix was bold enough. He actually dared to do


    these in front of Jakub?


    The strange thing was, Jakub actually did not lose his temper?


    In her memory, Jakub never smiled, and his face was tensed all day. His expression could simply be


    copied and pasted.


    To Hendrix, Jakub suddenly changed to a different person.


    "Everyone is back. Let the kitchen prepare to serve the dishes."


    A gentle middle-aged woman''s voice spread down from the second floor. Anika Gill, who was wearing


    a vermillion embroidered cheongsam, came down from the second floor. She was over fifty years old,


    but her well-kept face did not have a single wrinkle, and her long and shiny hair was worn into a bun


    with a hairpin without any decoration inserted diagonally. She was wearing two sapphire rings on her


    hand, and her body was slightly plump; her steps were slow and elegant.


    The three people were busy getting up, and Euan stepped forward, "Mom."


    The others behind him have not had opportunity to greet her, and Anika had already pulled her son''s


    hands. She put them in her hands and patted it, looking at his cheeks in a distressed manner, "Why


    have you lost weight? You did note back just a few days, and you have be so thin. I let you


    live at home, but you did not listen. Who will take care of you when you live outside? Look at this


    face¡­"


    Riley sneered in her heart. Mother-inw''s indirect usation was a high-level trick.


    "I''m fine. You don''t have to worry. I''m an adult, and I know how to take care of my life." Euan''s tone was


    a little impatient.


    Hendrix deliberately came closer to look at Euan, "Brother''s face is rosy and lustrous, and his condition


    is still good. I see that sister-inw has taken good care of Brother."


    Anika did not directly speak after him but moved her view to Riley, "I don''t care how you are in the


    hospital, but back home, your husband is all you have. If you have the effort to take care of those


    patients in the hospital, why don''t you stay at home and take care of your man."


    Euan frowned, "Today is Hendrix''s first day back home. Mom, don''t focus on the wrong things."


    Was he speaking for her?


    Riley pursed her lips. In front of her mother-inw, she originally had little position, and now that Euan


    had lost weight because he was sick, the first one to be med was of course her.


    "Mom, recently Euan worked too hard. Every day he works overtime in the office, and he was home


    from workte at night. He returned toote, and the reheated meal will affect the taste. The meal also


    became less nutritious. Next time, I will wait for him toe back home before cooking so that the


    meal is fresher."


    Riley made things up to praise Euan''s dedication to his career and also to conceal the fact that the two


    of them lived apart. The main reason was to win a round in front of her mother-inw.


    As she said, Anika couldn''t pick a fault and just answered yes with a cold look.


    Euan''s lips inadvertently pursed. ¡®You were really good at lying.¡¯


    Hendrix couldn''t stop praising, "Brother is blessed! You married a good wife!"


    The food was already on the table, and they sat down. After they sat down, Anika suddenly continued


    the conversation, seemingly unintentional but targeted at someone else.


    "You say your sister-inw is a good wife? If she is a good wife, they are married for three years, but


    why she didn¡¯t give birth a child?"


    Riley suddenly felt the chopsticks were too heavy to hold the food, so she had to put them down.


    Hendrix smilingly picked a piece of broli onto Anika''s te, "Mother, you don''t understand it. Now,


    many foreign couples that have married for many years do not want children. Brother and sister-inw


    only married for three years, don''t you let them enjoy the world of two?"


    Anika looked askance at Hendrix, "Hendrix, what benefits did you get from your Brother, or were you


    bewitched? Hmph, whether she doesn''t want to have a baby or she simply can''t have one. It''s two


    different things!"


    Euan spoke slowly with a low voice, "Hendrix, you like to eat hairtails, and these are East Sea hairtails.


    They are fresher and more tender than foreign fish; try more."


    "Thank you, Brother. Sister-inw, you shall eat too."


    The skin on Riley''s face was so tight that she couldn''t smile. She tried to squeeze her eyes, "Alright."


    Anika taunted, "None of the dishes on the table can help with pregnancy. If you are considerate, as a


    doctor, don''t you know all these? What is the use of eating more if the actual problem is not solved?"


    Riley could not help but grit her teeth. Every time she came, Anika never showed her good attitude,


    and today in front of her brother-inw, she was even more aggressive.


    Jakub said in a clear and cold voice, "Enough, have the meal."


    Anika didn''t want to stop. She turned and asked, "Euan, are you still in contact with the girl from the


    Saunders family? The one named Lydia."


    Riley''s back obviously tensed up, and she looked at Euan with alertness. Lydia, this name like a taboo


    between them, was said by Anika so smoothly and naturally.


    Euan said while eating, "Yes, she recently had to endorse a product of thepany."


    Anika tilted her upper body, and her face was full of smiles, "Lydia is still single, right? She is well-


    behaved and thoughtful, and I like her. If only¡­" she nced at Riley, "it wouldn''t be like this now!"


    Riley clenched her teeth; she had the urge to put down her chopsticks and leave!


    Hendrix saw Riley''s every move. In just a few minutes of contact, he had understood the status of his


    sister-inw in the George family. He could not help but sneer in his heart. The George family, heh!


    "Mother, the lyrics goes like that. The one you can not obtain is always in desire, the one you favored is


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    always spoiled . Brother married the sister-inw, and sister-inw is the best then. If the girl named


    Lydia came to our family, she might not be what you thought of."


    Anika fiercely stared at Hendrix, "Your study abroad is just to learn these nonsenses? I do not know


    what is spoiled; I only know that some people should not have appeared!"


    She hit the nail on the head, and even the previous cover-ups were taken off. Anika''s disgust for Riley


    was clearly revealed.


    The table was silent for a moment, and Riley quietly looked at Euan. She thought he would say


    something, but no. His silence was like a hand pushing her into the abyss ruthlessly.


    Anika continued to sneer, "Also, the business of the Watson family has been doing badly again


    recently, right? Hmph, are you nning to lend some money again?"


    Riley''s fist was clenched under the table. She felt the pain in her whole body.


    Hendrix also did not dare to speak again.


    Euan put down his chopsticks, "Don''t talk about business on the dinner table. Also, the Watson family''s


    business has nothing to do with the George family, and even more so with you."


    Jakub raised his eyes, and his sharp eyes looked at Euan, "So, you don''t intend to assist when


    something happens to the Watson family?"


    Euan wiped the corner of his mouth and prepared to leave the table, "Right."


    Riley''s heartpletely fell into the bottom!

 Chapter 7 Whatever Belongs to Euan Remains His Forever

    Chapter 7 Whatever Belongs to Euan Remains His Forever


    In a split second, the hall fell silent in the George¡¯s Family. With Euan¡¯s words just now, each of the


    three individuals had a different reaction.


    Riley felt as if she was pped in the face; it was a p enough to wake her up.


    She already knew three years ago that she didn¡¯t belong in the George Family, but she always told


    herself that everything would be over.


    Now, it appeared that both wishful thinking and expectations were unnecessary.


    Divorce.


    This terrible thought shed across her mind. Riley had made up her mind in one second ¨C She wanted


    a divorce!


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡±


    Riley got up from her chair and disappeared around the corner into the bathroom. Then she exhaled


    the distasteful news she held out with a breath.


    She felt as if her heart was congested.


    Riley turned on the faucet and stared at her face with light makeup. As she let water run through her


    hands, she looked at the beautiful young face in the mirror, which now had hints of aging; even the


    blood strains were visible in her eyes. Just as her tears were about to fall, she tilted her head back to


    hold it in.


    Was she crying over Euan? How foolish was that?


    She didn¡¯t know that Hendrix already saw through all her pretense of tenacity and stubbornness.


    ¡°My dear sister-inw, don¡¯t you know to conserve water?¡±


    Riley was startled and looked at the mirror, where another face appeared and their eyes met. She then


    realized that she took too long in the restroom.


    She turned off the faucet and wiped her hands on a paper towel, ¡°Is the George Family, with all your


    big businesses, concerned over a little running water?¡±


    Hendrix bent a leg and leaned against the wall. He held his arms, and looked at Riley, ¡°Sister-inw,


    don¡¯t you know that the richer someone is, the stingier they are?¡±


    Riley was not in a joking mood with this rich spoilt brat. She wanted to pass by Hendrix, but his bent


    knee blocked the narrow passage. She wore a dress, so it wasn¡¯t appropriate for her to bypass over his


    leg. She nced at him, ¡°So not only are rich folks stingy, they enjoy getting in the way?¡±


    Hendrix let out a sly smile at her annoyed face, and kept up his smug attitude, ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re


    quite funny; you¡¯re so beautiful and a renown doctor from a good background. So why doesn¡¯t brother


    want you?¡±


    It was better if he said nothing. After his talk, Riley¡¯s surging anger burst out, ¡°Hendrix, what¡¯s between


    your brother and me is none of your business, now move.¡±


    Hendrix deliberately stood his ground, ¡°Sister-inw, if you¡¯re unhappy with brother, you can consider


    divorce. You won¡¯t inherit half his wealth, but I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll still get quite an alimony.¡±


    Riley narrowed her eyes against Hendrix¡¯s provocation. She gritted her teeth, ¡°I said, move!¡±


    Her anger aroused Hendrix¡¯s desire to provoke her even more. His smile widened on his handsome


    face, his slender arm blocked the passage, his white hand rested on a tile across from him. He had


    trapped the tiny Rileypletely!


    ¡°Sister-inw, if brother saw us like this, do you think he¡¯d file for divorce right away?¡±


    Riley¡¯s eyes widened and she clenched her fists. Then, the anger in her eyes suddenly turned into a


    coldugh. ¡°Uncle, if brother saw you flirting with his wife, do you think he¡¯d shoot you on the spot?¡±


    Hendrix snarled and let down his arm, ¡°Tsk, I was just starting to think you were entertaining, and now


    you¡¯re all serious again; no fun at all.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re looking for someone fun, you¡¯re looking at the wrong person.¡±


    Hendrix let out a smile, ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re not still angry at me, are you? I really didn¡¯t know it was


    you earlier in the day.¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t want to y along with him, ¡°Hmm, what happened in the day? I forgot.¡±


    ¡°Good, ignorance is bliss, not bad, not bad.¡±


    With his hand gone, Riley held her dress and walked out.


    After watching Riley leave, Hendrix turned to look at himself in the mirror. His lips let out a slight smile.


    Interesting, very interesting!


    It looked like his return wasn¡¯t in vain.


    Atst, the awkward family dinner came to an end.


    Riley and Euan no longer showed the level of affection they had before. They left the George Family


    mansion separately. Outside, it was freezing cold, and Riley rub her arms several times to keep warm.


    As the chauffeur opened the car door, Riley looked at Euan, who didn¡¯t show any response. Riley let


    out a cold smile, ¡°We¡¯re not heading the same direction, you go ahead.¡±


    Euan''s voice was even deeper and sexier with the bristling cold wind, "Get in the car."


    The corner of Riley¡¯s mouth arched upward, ¡°The dinner¡¯s over, there¡¯s no need to keep up the act, Mr.


    George.¡±


    Whenever she addressed him like that, he has the urge to rip her apart. This ungrateful woman!


    He stared at her sharply, his dark eyes were filled with impatience.


    ¡°Don¡¯t make me say it a third time, get in the car.¡±


    A car door stood between the two of them. Euan¡¯s tall figure was imposing in the night. Riley felt that, if


    she continued to resist, he would definitely take extreme measures to make her obey. She wasn¡¯t


    stubborn to that point yet.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    She lowered her head and got into the backseat; warmth gradually returned to her body inside the


    heated car.


    Euan walked to the opposite side and also sat in the backseat.


    Now, the distance between them was suddenly closed in, much closer than they were at the dinner


    table. Even in the dark, Riley could hear her heartbeat pounding uncontrobly. The slight scent of


    tequ Euan had begun to entice Riley, and within a few seconds, she realized she was about to go


    insane, as her body¡¯s hormone levels were going off the charts.


    Damn it! Why was she unable to resist Euan at all!


    "To YJ Vi."


    What?


    YJ Vi? Why were they headed there?


    The YJ Vi was a wedding dowry at the time of their marriage, but they rarely stayed there.


    The vi had been idle for nearly three years; surely dust must have taken over.


    Riley bitterly said, ¡°The YJ Vi must be molding by now; what are you thinking?¡±


    Euan crossed his long legs and shut his eyes to rest against the backseat. The sleepy Euan replied in


    a low voice, ¡°Go home.¡±


    The words struck Riley like thunder. Did he just say they were going home? Did Euan always regard


    that ce as home?


    Suddenly a slight hint of joy surfaced from the abyss to break past all the humiliation at the dinner


    table. Riley was immediately moved.


    Did Euan really care about her that much?


    Riley rubbed her hands and stole nces at the man besides her. His eyes and lips were shut, and his


    strong hands rested on his chest in a dignified manner.


    The car parked before an independent vi; the area was extremely quiette in the night. The


    moonlight and sr-powered streetlights illuminated the vi. The wind gently blew across the flowers


    and greenery in the yard; the entire vi did not appear deserted at all.


    They got out the car and stood side by side at the entrance. Euan let out a sneer, ¡°You can stop


    pretending.¡±


    Riley frowned and asked, ¡°What am I pretending?¡±


    Utterly unbelievable.


    Euan entered the passcode, and the iron doors began to slowly open. He didn¡¯t look back as he said,


    ¡°Back then, you did everything you could to get in the George Family; now you¡¯re pretending to be all


    high and noble.¡±


    Riley was wearing high heels, so her movement was a bit inconvenient. Also, they haven¡¯t been here


    for too long. The road was paved with pebbles, and as much as she tried to keep up, she was still


    behind Euan by quite a ways. ¡°Euan, don¡¯t nder people! I want to get in the George Family? Hah! All


    I wanted was¡­¡±


    ¡®All I wanted was to marry you! That has nothing to do with the George Family!¡¯


    It was on the tip of her tongue, but she refrained from saying it.


    Euan snickered, ¡°Want what? You just wanted to get in the George Family to raise your social status,


    and get a cut of the family inheritance, no?¡±


    Riley almost choked; he must be out of his mind!


    ¡°Right, you¡¯re absolutely right! That¡¯s exactly what I wanted!¡± Riley had her mind made up on the


    divorce, anyway, so it didn¡¯t matter what Euan thought of her now.


    Euan¡¯s cold stare scanned across her, then his uttered harsh, bitter words, ¡°So, you finally admit it.¡±


    Riley bit her lips until it turned white. She tilted her head back and stared at Euan head on without any


    trace of fear, ¡°Now that you know, then let¡¯s be open and frank.¡±


    Euan let out a slight snort, the right corner of his lip slightly raised, ¡°Ready to talk terms and


    conditions?¡±


    Riley took strides forward, her high heels let out crisp sounds as they clicked against the pebbles,


    ¡°Since Mr. George is so hasty, I¡¯ll be straight forward. I don¡¯t want what happened today to ur again.


    Your parents don¡¯t like me, and berate me for not giving birth to a child for the Family. Well, it¡¯s true, I


    can¡¯t have a child by myself.¡±


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    The two of them barely spent time together, how could she possibly get pregnant and have a child?


    Halfway into her speech, Riley raised her skirt and climbed the staircase, ¡°You like Lydia, right? Fine, I¡¯ll


    let you two be together. You¡¯ve spent quite a lot of time together, right? But she¡¯s not pregnant, so looks


    like you two have taken a lot of precaution with contraceptives. But don¡¯t worry, you don¡¯t need to use


    those anymore; in the future, you can do whatever you want. Isn¡¯t it better if she got pregnant? Then


    she can marry into the George Family.¡±


    Suddenly, Euan grabbed Riley¡¯s chin; if he used any more force, he would probably crush her bone.


    His deathly cold stare looked straight into her eyes, ¡°What are you saying!¡±


    Was this woman hinting a divorce? She would dare?!


    Riley¡¯s chin began to hurt, but she still managed to utter, ¡°Euan, what do you take me for? A ve you


    canmand as you please?¡±


    Euan had a murderous intent, ¡°Are you even worthy to be my ve?¡±


    Riley held in the pain in her heart and forced a smile, then continued to provoke him, ¡°Are you even


    worthy to be my master?¡±


    Euan pressed his face close to hers, until they could feel each other¡¯s breath, ¡°Haven¡¯t you already


    witnessed firsthand?¡±


    Euan, he was really bastard!


    "Let go!"


    "From the day you married me, you should already know you are my stuff; whatever is mine will stay


    mine forever!"

 Chapter 8 I Want You to Beg Me!

    Chapter 8 I Want You to Beg Me!


    ¡®Euan George¡¯s stuff?¡¯


    ¡®Eh! Stuff? In your opinion, me, Riley Watson was just a stuff?¡¯


    Rileyughed, she raised her chin arrogantly like a ck swan. His threat did not seem to affect her,


    her dark blue brow seemed to sneer at him, ¡°Euan, you¡¯re wrong. I am not your stuff and your


    belonging. I want you to let me go!¡±


    She used up all her strength to confront Euan who was furious and violent at the moment. Riley knew


    Euan well, he was indifferent and cruel. There was nothing he cherished in this world, even Lydia


    Saunders.


    Her existence was even not much to be particr about.


    Euan did not release her, he turned his body and forced Riley against the cold wall heavily. Riley wore


    a suit of formal dress, half of her back was revealed. It was cold and when her back was leaning


    against the wall, she could feel the coldness from her backbone to the top of her head and the bottom


    of her foot. She shivered severely.


    ¡°Do you believe that I will not let you go out of this yard?¡± His sharp and fierce sights seemed like a


    me, burning ferociously on her face.


    Riley was clutched by him, her face flushed, her eyes almost rolled up. She raised her hand and patted


    his wrist, ¡°Let¡­go.¡±


    Euan did not alleviate his angry level, he mped her jaw even harder, ¡°Beg me!¡±


    Riley scolded him silently in her heart, ¡®Euan, you were a perverted madman! You wanted me to beg


    you? Dream!¡¯


    Euan¡¯s fingers exerted even more strength, this time, he would really strangle her¡­


    Euan closed his eyes when he saw Riley¡¯s fair face turned purple gradually and threw her off.


    ¡°Bang!¡± A loud sound was heard, Riley was thrown by Euan onto the ground. Her knee rubbed with the


    floor, she felt extremely painful.


    ¡®Damn you, Euan!¡¯


    Euan opened the door, he controlled the light in the room angrily, therge Swarovski chandelier on the


    ceiling brightened the dark night. The living room was full of luxurious furniture and it was simr to the


    house interior design of the royal family in Ennd. Even a small cushion here was originated from


    France¡¯s top brand of pure handmadede limited custom. Euan spent a lot of money on this house.


    He never expected that in return was a wanton that simply wanted to divorce him!


    Euan put one of his hands on the sofa. His blue veins were obviously seen on his forehead due to his


    anger.


    Riley struggled to get up from the floor.


    ¡°Shhh-----¡±


    Arge area of her knee was bruised, the blood flew out from her knee to her fair leg, left a few red


    marks. The blood dripped on her leg and the floor and gathered around her red high heels.


    She could almost see her bone under the deepest scar. Was Euan intended to throw her to hell just


    now?


    Riley endured the pain. ¡®Euan, you even did domestic violence, what did you want anymore?¡¯


    Euan¡¯s anger was alleviated after seeing the scar and blood on Riley¡¯s knee.


    He lowered his brow instinctively, ¡°Come here.¡±


    His voice was tense and cold.


    Riley bit her teeth, did not want to obey him, ¡°I will not die, you no need to worry about me.¡±


    Euan clutched his fist, ¡°I ask you toe here.¡±


    ¡®Are you kidding? You wanted me to go there? Let you strangle me?¡¯


    Euan was furious after seeing her standing outside without any movement. He walked towards her and


    lifted Riley. Riley lost her bnce, Euan lifted her, her body suddenly left the ground. Next moment, she


    was buried in his strong and warm arms.


    His strong odour of male was smelt and smashed her blood vessels in light speed.


    She had not yet finished enjoying it. Then, Euan threw her on the soft sofa violently. The strong stic


    force bounced her up again at the moment she sat¡­


    She could not manage to control the force. A big hand pressed on her shoulder, she then sat firmly.


    The gentleness found on Euan was not avable anymore. Euan had destroyed the romance.


    Riley¡¯s knee was so painful that she frowned. Euan pressed her leg and observed her scar.


    ¡°You¡¯re right, you will not die.¡±


    That was the conclusion given by Euan.


    Riley bit her teeth, ¡°Euan, what do you want? Are you satisfied only if I be handicapped?¡±


    Euan gave a calm response when he faced the grumpiness and anger of Riley. He took a nce on


    her brow and ignored her angry me, ¡°Don¡¯t Dr Watson know that this kind of skin trauma will not


    cause you disabled? If Dr Watson is unable to determine the seriousness of the scar, you better don¡¯t


    be a doctor.¡±


    It was great that she became disabled so that she would not leave George¡¯s house.


    ¡°You! Euan, if you are criticising me on purpose, sorry, I don¡¯t have time for you,¡± Riley wanted to leave


    after saying the words. He pressed her knee and touched the scar gently¡­


    ¡°Ouch!¡±


    It made Riley pain, ¡°Euan!¡±


    Euan nodded, released her and stood up, ¡°You know it is painful? I think you don¡¯t have the nervous


    system to recognise and sense pain.¡±


    Riley did not only feel pain, she had pain convulsions too at the moment. But, what did Euan mean just


    now?


    ¡°If it hurts, just sit down obediently.¡±


    Riley pinched the leather sofa with her acrylic nails, her sights were as hot as the burning charcoal.


    She could not hold back her tears and wiped away her tears, forced herself not to cry.


    ¡®Why did I cry? Cannot cry!¡¯


    Euan took the medical kit and realized what was he doing, he growled softly ¡°SHIT!¡±, he was carrying a


    medicine kit for the ungrateful woman!


    He should have let her enjoy the pain and saw her being helpless and crying!


    Euan threw the medical kit on the table with no expression to ease Riley who was unable to bend her


    body. After throwing it, he went to a single sofa and sat.


    Riley looked at the medical kit and looked at Euan who was having an indifferent expression. She


    mocked at herself, ¡®What do you expect? You expect him to wrap the wound for you? Stop dreaming!


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    He is Euan! He is someone who wishes you¡¯re dead!¡¯


    ¡®Never mind, I did not need him to wrap for me.¡¯


    Riley took out the iodine and poured on the cotton ball, she had to sterilize her badly hurt knee. She


    held the cotton ball and stopped in front of her scar. Riley was paled, she knew that the sterilizing


    process was painful.


    She could see Euan cross his legs, she was angry that she tortured herself, her finger fell on the scar.


    The iodine was like the sulphuric acid that corroded her skin, the level of painfulness was simr to the


    pain of cutting the flesh with a knife!


    Riley dripped her sweat, her legs were shivering, her instinctive shiver made her embarrass and no


    way to escape.


    The chandelier and the smooth ground reflected the light. Riley in a ck dress wrapped her wound


    with bent back. Her long hair was blown from her back to her face, a few blocked her eyes.


    Euan slightly moved his fingertip, he wanted to help her to move the hair away.


    Riley threw the reddened cotton ball into the ashtray. One by one, she had used thirteen of them. She


    did not make a sound throughout the process.


    Euan¡¯s sights were deepened gradually.


    She could treat herself like that, then how cruel could she treat others?


    When Euan thought of it, he held back his pity on her.


    Riley applied the iodine by herself and wrapped with bandages. She did the remaining parts in one


    shot.


    Arge white gauze was obviously seen on her slim leg, it looked ugly.


    Riley got the sofa to support her up, she said initiatively to protect her final dignity, ¡°I will leave now.¡±


    Euan stretched his arms andy on the sofa like an eagle stretching its wings. He said withzy and


    disgusted tone, ¡°This is your home, where do you want to go?¡±


    Riley smiled to conceal her inner pain, she smiled strugglingly, ¡°I don¡¯t remember that I have a house


    here. Mr George, I think you have got it wrong.¡±


    She grabbed her bag and wanted to leave, his sound was heard again, ¡°Don¡¯t try to challenge me,


    you¡¯re my wife. If you want to die, you should die in my premise!¡±


    Riley was back-facing him, she showed a painful expression. However, when she turned her body, she


    became enchanting, ¡°You stay me here is just to fulfil your desire to be in possession and show your


    power as well as embarrass me, is it?¡±


    Euan frowned even deeper, his lips were like a sharp knife, his tone was as cold as ice, he said in a


    slow pace, ¡°Not only that, I even want you to know the consequence of betraying me and some more,


    being betrayed.¡±


    Riley wanted tough, she felt that it was fluky to be tangled with him for three years. She thought that


    they should have some warm rtionship in between, but for now, it seemed like her expectation was


    an expired canned food, it was time to be thrown.


    Euan did not wait for Riley to express her opinion of divorce, he stood up and walked towards her. He


    pushed her shoulder and walked forwards, showed that he was more powerful than her.


    ¡°You should cancel your thought of giving up on the halfway. All the stuff that I have used before, after


    leaving me, there is only one consequence¡­¡±


    He turned his head and body. Their sights met, fast, urate and heartless.


    ¡°Destroyed.¡±


    Riley felt a sense of coldness on her fingertips like having a strike by the thunder, ¡°Euan, if you hate me


    so much, why don¡¯t you kill me directly?¡±


    Euan slightly pulled the cor of his white shirt, his huge silhouette blocked the light and hid Riley in the


    dark area entirely, ¡°Dr Watson, think carefully, what is the most suffering situation of a patient? Is it


    death? Or live torturously?


    Roar!


    Euan¡¯s words exploded in Riley¡¯s brain like a rumble of thunder, he wanted her to live torturously?


    Riley sharpened her eyes, ¡°It is still uncertain on who will be tortured.¡±


    Euan curved his lips, his fingers pinched her chin and teased arrogantly, ¡°You seem to have ready for


    it.¡±


    ¡°Doctor will be on call for the patient for 24 hours. Mr George, don¡¯t forget that there is something


    crueller than living torturously that is, don¡¯t want to die but must have to.¡±


    After saying that, Riley put off her high heels, walked and jumped up the stairs. Just stay for a night?


    OK!


    Riley climbed to the second floor strugglingly, she opened the door of the master room. It was their


    wedding room, the ce where they have their first intimate act. Everything things remained


    unchanged as before.


    She shook her head to not recall the memory. She closed the door and locked it!


    Just stay for one night, she dared to do so.


    Euan was pleased after seeing her closing the door of the master room.


    From the heated dispute just now, he realized that he would have changes in emotion, unstable mood


    and even¡­pity her.


    He thought his heart was already dead.

 Chapter 9 She Had Lost Her Temper After A Night’s Sleep

    Chapter 9 She Had Lost Her Temper After A Night¡¯s Sleep


    Riley was awakened from her deep sleep by a suddenly ringing cellphone.


    She stretched out her arm in a daze to pick up the phone and suddenly she was wide awake.


    She suddenly sat up on the bed, making the wound on her knee throbbed painfully. Her delicate face


    wrinkled in pain.


    Riley¡¯s drowsiness disappeared as she felt a stab of pain. She turned her head to find the space on the


    bed besides her empty. Euan was not besides her.


    But then, he hated her so much, why would he sleep with her?


    The panic that had just risen in her turned into a chilling disappointment.


    Scratching her hair hard, Riley picked up the phone. The call was from the on-duty doctor in the


    department.


    ¡°Dr Watson, are you awake? The patient in bed no. 22 has arrhythmia. Come quickly.¡±


    Bed no. 22¡¯s patient had been in the hospital for more than two months. The patient suffered from


    severe coronary heart disease. Oncebined with arrhythmia, there was a high chance of myocardial


    infarction. The patient¡¯s condition was very dangerous!


    ¡°Give 5 ml lidocaine intravenously to calm the patient¡¯s mood. After ten minutes if the situation doesn¡¯t


    get better then give 5 ml lidocaine again. Remember, stabilize the patient¡¯s mood and don¡¯t let them


    feel nervous. I aming over immediately.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll prepare for it!¡±


    Hanging up the phone, Riley wore her slippers ignoring the throbbing pain in her knee. She had just


    opened the bedroom door when her eyes fell down on Euan sleeping on the couch in the living room.


    She felt a stab of pain somewhere in her chest.


    She hopped down the stairs step by step, and quietly looked at Euan who was sleeping soundly. The


    sleeping Euan had lost all of his usual cold harshness. His eyebrows were spread smoothly, and his


    facial features all became soft. He looked extremely handsome.


    ¡°So handsome, but you just likes to keep his face looking like an iceberg.¡± Riley muttered, preparing to


    take her bag and leave. However, her eyes fell on her dress and she became silent.


    It was really inappropriate to dress like this to go to the hospital.


    She really had low IQ. If she had seen it early, then she¡¯d have found different clothes upstairs and


    changed into them. Now, she had to climb up the stairs again.


    She hopelessly jumped up the stairs again. Although she tried to control it, the banging sound woke up


    Euan. He frowned, looking at the figure of Riley hopping up the stairs like a rabbit. The warm light


    other side.


    Euan raised the corner of his mouth in azy smile.


    With lightning speed, Riley randomly picked some clothes that had been put there three years ago.


    Unexpectedly, they still fit her well. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. Then she prepared to


    hop down the stairs again.


    Just as she was about to take the first step down the stairs, she noticed Euan standing silently in the


    living room. Looking at her calmly as if he was enjoying an interesting drama.


    Riley bit her lip, cursing at him in her heart.


    Euan ignored her bouncing movements, instead he focused on her clothes. She was wearing a beige


    dress, which just covered her knees. It changed her look from the mncholy and calmness of the


    ck clothes to bright and beautiful.


    Moreover, he remembered that this was the dress that he bought for her back then.


    Riley hopped down the stairsboriously andnded on the ground. Euan stared at her with one hand


    in his pocket, examining her appearance slowly.


    ¡°Mr. George, please move aside.¡±


    She had really lost her temper after a night¡¯s sleep.


    ¡°Where to?¡±


    ¡°Hospital.¡±


    Euan looked at her knees subconsciously.


    ¡°I am a doctor and I have patients to look after, so I need to go to work now.¡± She didn¡¯t wait for his


    response and staggered his shoulder as she limped past him towards the main door.


    Euan carefully pondered on her words about going to work, then he raised his eyebrows into two arcs


    and said, ¡°You can¡¯t get a taxi here.¡±


    Riley stopped in the middle of putting on her shoes. Damn! Why did she forget this? If she wanted to


    take a taxi then she was going to have to walk a kilometer from here. Not to mention, people who lived


    here didn¡¯t need to take taxis.


    But how was she going to walk for a kilometer with her condition.


    ¡°Thank you for reminding me.¡± Riley put on a pair of t shoes that had been idle for three years in the


    shoe cab, which was also the only pair of shoes. Then she got up and opened the door.


    Euan¡¯s fierce eyes were shooting mes, ¡°Do you want to be crippled for life?¡±


    The answer to his words was Riley¡¯s back descending the steps.


    This stupid woman! He thought.


    Euan hurriedly chased her as she struggled to support the weight of her whole body on one leg and


    walked towards outside. Riley¡¯s stubbornness was annoying!


    ¡°Riley! What the hell are you doing?¡±


    Euan grabbed her by the arm. She looked back at him coldly and smiled particrly politely, ¡°Euan, this


    is what I want to ask you. What the hell are you doing? My patient is waiting for me at the hospital, I


    must go!¡±


    Riley had never been careless towards her patients.


    Euan¡¯s handsome face turned dark, ¡°Get in the car! I¡¯ll take you.¡±


    What?!


    Take her?


    ¡°Why are you in a daze? Just get in the car if you don¡¯t want to have a medical ident. And don¡¯t look


    at me with that expression.¡± Euan walked back to get the car keys and started the car.


    Riley muttered broodily in her heart. That expression? Which expression?


    Euan¡¯s car stopped besides her, and he ordered her without giving her any option, ¡°Get in!¡±


    Okay, if he said get in then there was no need to waste a free driver. She thought.


    When the car moved suddenly, Riley¡¯s upper body almost crashed into the windshield.


    ¡°Euan!¡±


    This was thest straw. She had already injured her knee; must she injure her forehead too?


    Her anger was greeted with a touch of mockery from Euan whose eyes fell in front of her. She hadn¡¯t


    fastened her seat belt.


    ¡°If you want to die, I can make that happen.¡±


    Riley knew that she was too impatient this time. She clenched her teeth and fastened her seat belt,


    vowing that she was not going to talk to Euan for the rest of the ride.


    The car drove along the road and half way through Riley¡¯s phone rang again.


    ¡°How¡¯s the patient?¡±


    ¡°Dr Watson, the patient¡¯s condition has already improved. You don¡¯t need to worry abouting over.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m d it¡¯s fine. Thank you for your hard work.¡±


    Riley exhaled a sigh of relief. It was fortunate.


    Hearing that the patient was okay, Euan slowed the car speed by one third and nced sideways to


    see Riley¡¯s reaction, ¡°Still going to the hospital?¡±


    ¡°One patient is okay, but there are many others waiting for me. Of course, I am going.¡±


    Riley spat out a couple sentences, her tone unpleasant and a bit angry.


    She felt angry and temperamental, which was the proof that her mood had no problem fluctuating.


    Euanzily held the steering wheel with one hand and ced his idle hand on his right knee, only a few


    centimeters away from Riley¡¯s leg.


    If the car hit any bumps in the road again, his hand was bound to slip from his leg and ¡°identally¡±


    touch Riley¡¯s skin.


    It was a pity that the stability of the car was too good and the road too smooth. There was no chance.


    Damn, what the hell was that thought!


    ¡°Since it¡¯s just for work, then go after eating.¡±


    Before Riley could respond, Euan drove the car to a fork in the road and took a U-turn. Two minutes


    ¡°I am not hungry. I don¡¯t want to eat.¡± Riley bit her lip angrily. Euan was too bossy. He never gave


    anyone a chance to talk before making any decision; he never discussed with anyone.


    ¡°Not hungry? Did I tell you to eat? Since you are not hungry then just watch me eat.¡±


    Riley was stumped for words.


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    Euan got out of the car and left her alone to open the car door and get out. Every time her knee moved,


    she felt extreme pain.


    ¡®Euan, was this your way of making my life living hell?¡¯ She thought.


    ¡®In my opinion, it was not that good!¡¯


    The meal in front of Euan was too sumptuous for just breakfast. Meat and vegetable were paired up


    beautifully in light and healthy Chinese dishes. The two faced each other. Euan picked up his


    chopsticks and began to eat slowly as if no one else was there.


    The way Euan ate was too beautiful. He ate each dish as if it was food from heaven itself, making her


    mouth water. Riley couldn¡¯t bear it anymore.


    Last night she barely ate at Euan¡¯s home and she had been already hungry.


    Euan didn¡¯t even look at her. After eating some of the dishes, he picked up the spoon and tasted the


    sea food soup sip by sip. With the fragrance of the food and Euan¡¯s appealing way of eating, Riley¡¯s


    heart weakened.


    She picked up chopsticks and paused deliberately on the table. She automatically ignored the words


    she said herself a while ago and ate a mouthful. It tasted really good!


    While eating, she didn¡¯t forget to observe Euan¡¯s reaction out of the corner of her eye. At the same


    time, she was preparing how to respond if he sneered at her. However, Euan ate seriously throughout


    the whole process and ignored herpletely.


    Riley only noticed while eating, that most of the dishes on the table were what she liked to eat.


    Moreover, all her favorite dishes happened to be ced in front of her and she could easily pick from


    them with her chopsticks.


    It seemed that this restaurant¡¯s food suited her taste very much. She coulde here again in the


    future.


    Presuming that she had almost finished eating, Euan wiped the corners of his mouth, got up and left


    without a word.


    Riley put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth contentedly and stood up to leave after


    him. When Euan reached out of Riley¡¯s line of sight, a smile appeared again on his face.


    JD Central Hospital.


    As his car stopped, Euan said coldly, ¡°Get out.¡±


    Riley picked up her purse and opened the car door. Before she got out, she said in a low voice, ¡°Thank


    you for driving me to work.¡±


    This was the first time in the three years of marriage, and even that under the current circumstances.


    Euan didn¡¯t respond because his phone rang.


    In the fleeting moment, Riley¡¯s eyes fell on the name shining on the screen ¨C Lydia.


    The eye-catching name felt like an invisible weapon, shooting bullets into her heart. If she said she


    didn¡¯t care it would have been a lie.


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m on my way.¡±


    In just three simple sentences, Riley could already see what the Lydia¡¯s side of the call was like.


    ¡°Euan, are you up?¡±


    ¡°Can youe and pick me up?¡±


    ¡°When will youe?"


    Riley could even imagine Lydia pretending to be very sweet and gentle while speaking. Thinking that


    almost made her throw up her breakfast in disgust.


    While getting out and closing the door, Riley¡¯s movements were chic and neat.


    Euan yed with his phone and watched her with a slight smile as she walked away with difficulty.


    Riley, I dare you to say that there was no reaction in your heart. He thought.


    ¡°Dr Watson, you are finally here. There is a handsome guy in the office waiting for you. He asked for


    you by name to see him.¡±


    Serena, a doctor in the same office, stopped Riley and told her with a smitten look on her face.


    ¡°What is the issue? Is it serious?¡± Riley had no choice but to stand still. She kept her weight off her leg,


    not daring to exert herself physically nor wanting it to be seen by her colleague.


    Serena was a well-known nymphomaniac. Whenever she saw a handsome guy, shepletely lost


    her mind and praised him up to the sky, exaggerating too much. Her words were not very reliable.


    ¡°Um¡­ he doesn¡¯t look like there is anything wrong with him. However, he said he is very ill and must


    be diagnosed by you personally. He is really handsome! And really young! Go and see, go!¡±


    ¡°Dr Watson, even if the handsome guy is not sick, you have to diagnose him and make him stay in the

    Chapter 10 He is Hormone, He is Dopamine


    ¡°I have been waiting for you, Dr. Watson.¡±


    Riley walked to the office while trembling. Hendrix was giggling while looking at her. He was sitting on


    his chair with his legs crossed.


    Riley wondered why there would be any patients as she was not in charge of the outpatient service that


    day. But she knew everything instantly when she saw Hendrix.


    Riley pressed her hand hard onto the desk as support to relieve the pressure on her legs. She


    examined Hendrix with her eyes and asked, ¡°What is the matter?¡±


    Hendrix showed a bitter face while twitching his lips and said, "I feel sick throughout my whole body.


    When I woke up this morning, my whole body was sore. Dr. Watson, am I going to die?¡±


    Riley made a faint smile with her scarlet red lips, "What if I say you are? Are you going to give up your


    treatment?¡±


    "Of course not. I am not giving up my treatment, I rather live a mess than die peacefully. Come over


    here Dr. Watson, I am counting my life on you.¡±


    When Hendrix was about to grab Riley¡¯s arm, she said with a deep chilly voice, ¡°Why are you even


    here? This is the hospital, not a yground for you."


    Hendrix replied earnestly, ¡°So, am I not allowed to get sick?"


    Riley caught a glimpse of the other doctors in the office, they pretended that they were focusing on


    their cases. But actually, they were eavesdropping, ¡°Stop fooling around, we will speak after I finish my


    work.¡±


    There was a radiance of youth essence originating from Hendrix¡¯s young and attractive face. The


    energy seemed to arise from the root of life, ¡°Riley, I am really not feeling well. Listen to my heartbeat if


    you do not believe me, it is pounding really fast.¡±


    Right after that, he grabbed Riley¡¯s hand and put it on his chest. Riley immediately shook off his hand


    and yelled fiercely, ¡°Hendrix, you better keep your hands off me and be respectful!¡±


    He had already shown his capability for the first time in George residence. He even came all the way to


    the hospital today just for that? What a rich yboy, seemed like he had nothing better to do.


    Hendrix shrugged his shoulder just like an American, ¡°Riley, tell me the truth. If I am not sick, why is my


    heart beating so fast?¡±


    Riley scooted a nce at him, then walked to her cubicle while enduring the pain in her knees. She


    then grabbed the white coat hanging on the hanger and put it on.


    Hendrix looked at Riley when she was wearing her white coat. He was fascinated and could not move


    his eyes away. The spotless white coat that she put on covered the curvature on her slim body. But, it


    gave the impression that she was experienced, intelligent, well-organized, and calm. There was an


    unexinable appeal.


    Just as she buckled until the second button, Hendrix lowered his head again and said, ¡°Oh no Riley, my


    heart is beating even faster.¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth, ¡°Hendrix, if you dare to say something foolish once more, I will find someone to


    kick you out of here!¡±


    Riley screamed at Hendrix so loud that the whole office could hear the conversation clearly. Everyone


    adjusted the way they sat sneakily to continue eavesdropping at a different position.


    Hendrix shrugged his shoulders again and suddenly sat up straight. He did not deepen his voice


    purposely this time and said, ¡°Riley, how could you not save me? My heart really hurts, ouch! It hurts!¡±


    Even though Riley was mad, she still rotated her body for a hundred and eighty degrees with both her


    legs as the center. What was this punk trying to do?


    Serena Rose looked up and giggled, ¡°Dr. Watson, just help to examine the patient. Although this is not


    the clinic, you can still check for his heartbeat.¡±


    Margot Lawson chimed in, ¡°Yes Dr. Watson, that handsome guy has been waiting for you all day. If he


    is fine, he will not be waiting in the hospital for that long.¡±


    There were four people in the office. Other than Teddy Pearson, the only male doctor, the two females


    were obsessed with the spark and were inciting the whole situation.


    Riley found it impossible to reject but she had no choice. She then coolly said, ¡°Sit down.¡±


    ¡°Ok! I appreciate your hard work, Dr. Watson.¡±


    Riley took out a stethoscope and pressed it on Hendrix¡¯s chest, ¡°Sit still and do not move.¡±


    ¡°Ok, just start anytime, Dr. Watson. Just do whatever you want, I will not resist.¡±


    ¡°...¡±


    Other people in the office wereughing so hard that they nearly did a spit take. Was this patient a


    Hendrix¡¯s eyes followed the movement of Riley¡¯s fingers on his chest. He seemed to enjoy the abrasion


    of the ice-cold metal of the stethoscope on his chest. There was a lingering scent of perfume on RileyContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    under the smell of disinfectant. It was not any luxury brand but the fragrance was really unique, it was


    simr to Gardenia flower.


    After changing positions and eavesdropping a few times, she took off the stethoscope. She made a


    conclusion, ¡°Punk, there is nothing wrong with your heart.¡±


    Hendrix did not give up, ¡°Dr. Watson, can you examine the other parts of my body? There must be


    something wrong with me somewhere. Otherwise, why would I keep feeling anxious and shortness of


    breath? Besides, I am also having a bad appetite and blurry visions.¡±


    Riley switched on herputer and ignored Hendrix¡¯s nonsense, ¡°Visit an ophthalmologist if you have


    a problem with your vision, I cannot help you with that.¡±


    ¡°My eyes are fine, Dr. Watson. Just check my internals first.¡±


    They were against each other.


    Fine.


    Riley opened up a case and switched her tone official and clear. Then she asked, ¡°Name, gender, age,


    any serious medical conditions, any medical history from your family?¡±


    Hendrix was silent.


    Riley grabbed the torchlight on the table corner, ¡°Show me your tongue.¡±


    Hendrix was silent.


    ¡°White tongue coating, there must be a gastrointestinal problem¡­¡±


    Hendrix immediately replied, ¡°That is what I have just said!¡±


    Riley rolled her eyes at Hendrix, ¡°I will fill in a medical bill for you, make an endoscopy at the sixth floor


    ¡°Huh? An endoscopy? Is it that serious?¡±


    Was she serious?


    Riley was writing a lot of things in detail on the paper. But as a doctor, her handwriting was sloppy and


    illegible. She spoke unambiguously, ¡°Without having an endoscopy, how would we know what is


    wrong? How could we provide a precise treatment if we do not know what is wrong? It could be


    gastritis, stomach ulcer, or esophagitis. We would get to know the result from endoscopy.¡±


    Hendrix was staring nkly at her red lips as she kept talking non-stop. The fluttering on her lips was


    extremely charming, even Hendrix who had a lot of experiences in romance could not move his eyes


    away from her.


    As she spouted a lot of information at Hendrix, she had already filled the medical bill, ¡°The cashier is on


    the ground floor, do you have a medicare card? It is fine if you do not have one, just pay with your


    money.¡±


    Hendrix was stunned for a moment, the medical bill that he was holding was not a joke. Riley¡¯s


    signature was at the bottom left of the bill, it was pretty and was obviously written with force. It did not


    seem to be written by a weak and delicate woman. That signature was pretty in all directions.


    ¡°Thank you, Dr. Watson!¡± Hendrix sat up straight on the chair like a primary school student and bent


    over for ny degrees.


    ¡°What are you waiting for?¡±


    "Click!" Riley closed her pen with the cap, her voice was icy cold and straight forward.


    ¡°Ok, I am going right now,¡± Hendrix smirked as if he had hit the jackpot, even when the purpose of the


    medical bill was to make fun of him.


    The personality that Riley was portraying was charming to Hendrix.


    Hendrix turned back and looked at her when he left the office, it annoyed Riley.


    ¡°Screech!¡± Serena moved a chair and came near Riley, ¡°No way, are you really asking him to have an


    endoscopy? What kind of endoscopy? Who would help him to make an endoscopy without blood test


    results or making an appointment?¡±


    Riley took out a case file and clicked her ballpoint pen, ¡°Can¡¯t you tell that he was just fooling around? If


    he was acting like a fool, then I will fool with him. He will just leave after that.¡±


    ¡°But hey, won¡¯t you be worried that the medical terms that you have mentioned just now would startle


    that good looking young man? What if there is really something wrong going with him?¡±


    Riley finished going through the case and signed her name. She then put the pen back into the pocket


    of her white coat. Time for another ward round, perhaps it was time to change the wound dressings as


    well, ¡°Nine out of ten of the entire poption would face issues rted to the stomach. Not to mention


    his stomach is in such great condition, it can still work just fine for at least thirty years. His problem was


    not anything rted to his spleen, stomach, or heart, it¡¯s here.¡±


    Riley pointed to her head, ¡°He should visit a neurologist.¡±


    Serena gulped, ¡°Dr. Watson, are you sure that this part of you is normal? As a woman, you are not


    even tempted when you see a good looking man, you are abnormal!¡±


    Riley unusually smiled, ¡°Hormone secretion is not the standard for me to determine whether a man is


    attractive, it¡¯s dopamine.¡±


    ¡°Damn! I¡¯m impressed. Dr. Watson, have a nice day.¡±


    Riley frowned deeply when she stood up, the sharp pain in her knee was still there. This flesh wound


    might take quite a long time to heal.


    ¡°Dr. Rose, seems like our best physician was not treating this cute guy nicely. Did you not see it? Just


    now, Dr. Watson was purposely pulling a prank on him.¡±


    Serena ttened her mouth, ¡°But why do I have the feeling that this cute guy was also flirting with Dr.


    Watson?¡±


    ¡°Screech!¡± Teddy moved the chair away, ¡°Women only analyze the surface of any problems.¡±


    ¡°What does that mean, Dr. Pearson?¡±


    ¡°Obviously, they were pranking each other. Besides, try to recall what the patient was wearing just


    now.¡±


    ¡°Oh my gosh! Yes, the shoes he was wearing are thetest model in the season. They cost at least a


    hundred thousand dors! He must being from a rich family!¡±


    Serena puzzlingly touched her chin, ¡°So, our Dr. Watson is finally going to have a new romance?¡±


    Teddy grabbed a case file and walked out of the office, he seemed ufortable.


    Riley purposely checked on the patient on the 22nd bed, he seemed to be recovering just fine. She


    advised the patient to not have an emotional fluctuation. There would be no more ball games ying


    on his TV anymore, especially football matches.


    In a ward with eight patients, over half of them would be her patients. She treated her patients so strict


    that sometimes they thought she was not a friendly person. But she was always worried about her


    patients. They were so afraid of her, but they were also impressed at the same time.


    The ward round was over, Riley could no longer withstand the injury on her leg. She walked all the way


    to the emergency room to unwrap the bandage. She frowned heavily and gritted her teeth so hard as it


    was unbearably painful.


    The wound did not recover nicely. The blood dripping wound only umted a small amount of


    serum, it was not enough to heal the wound.


    She applied disinfectant and medicine to her wound. She did not make any sound even when it was


    painful.


    The emergency room staff were the busiest as there were a lot of emergency cases happening every


    day. Riley nned to leave after rewrapping the wound on her leg. But before that, she overheard


    someone gossiping in the pantry.


    ¡°You will not believe what I am going to tell you. Today, I saw Lydia Saunders hanging out with a man!


    The man was wearing a pair of sunsses. But judging by that height and body size, he must be a


    really good looking man!¡±


    ¡°That is not something new. A few days ago, Lydia was visiting a patient in this hospital. Do you know


    who that was? It was Euan George, the CEO of MBK International Corporations! He is an eligible


    bachelor! A rich bachelor!¡±


    ¡°The man who was with Lydia today might be Euan, right?!¡±


    So after Euan left just now, he was going to pick up Lydia?


    Ha!


    ¡°Woah! So Lydia must be in a rtionship, right? Wow, my idol finally has a boyfriend!¡±


    Meh! Idol? A bitch like Lydia could even be someone¡¯s idol?


    Riley curled her lips. Sure enough, we were living in a world that judged people by their appearance. If


    you were someone who was good looking, everything you had done could be forgiven.


    It was the same for Euan, right?

 Chapter 11 I Won’t Give You Face

    Chapter 11 I Won¡¯t Give You Face


    It was nighttime at JD City. The lights of the bustling city lit up.


    Riley took off herb coat and grabbed her bag. She was about to go home. Suddenly, Serena called


    out to her from behind just as she was leaving, ¡°Dr Watson, did the handsome guy from today contact


    you again?¡±


    Serena was in the mood for gossips.


    ¡°No, he was just asking for trouble. I simply dismissed him,¡± answered Riley short and concisely. She


    hoped to hide the fact that she knew Hendrix with her unpolished and curt answer.


    But Serena continued running her mouth, ¡°Dr Watson, you are a great person. You¡¯re intelligent, you


    have good taste, you¡¯re skillful and capable¡­but you¡¯re a tad bitcking in skills when ites to


    dealing with men.¡±


    Dr Rose talked as she gestured an ¡°a little bit¡± sign with her fingers at Riley. She was prepared to


    lecture Riley on love. Riley was rumored to have zero experience with love.


    ¡°Men like gentle and meek women. Only so they can disy their power and might, highlighting their


    means to protect the woman. You have to show a meek side to them from time to time, in order to


    arouse their desire to protect¡­¡± They walked into the elevator. There were doctors from other


    departments in the elevator before them.


    Serene lowered her voice and said, ¡°For example, you should act like you can¡¯t handle something on


    your own even when you¡¯repletely capable of finishing the job.¡±


    Riley was just staring into space. She could see everyone¡¯s reflection on the elevator¡¯s steel door.


    ¡°Asking for a man¡¯s help even when it¡¯s something you can do on your own? That¡¯s retarded, you¡¯re


    just halting the progress and wasting time and resources.¡±


    The other people in the elevator exchanged nces with each other amusingly.


    Serene covered her face in frustration, ¡°Dear Dr Watson, going Dutch with men just shows that you


    have low EQ.¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t mind her, ¡°Everyone has different personalities and different ways of dealing with stuff. I am


    not the type of person to act meek when I¡¯m not.¡±


    Serena clenched her fist, ¡°Miss Riley Watson, you ought to think about your marriage and your future.


    Do you want to stay single forever?¡±


    Riley thought about her marriage with Euan. After experiencing all sorts of trouble, she concluded that


    it would be much better to be single and alone.


    Her marriage made her miserable. So why should she get married instead of enjoying being single and


    free?


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing bad about being single forever. That¡¯s exactly my n,¡± said Riley serenely, her eyes


    as calm as ake. It was the type of calmness that one could only achieve after going through many


    turbulent times.


    ¡°Fine, you win. Don¡¯te crying when you realized that you scared the handsome young man away.¡±


    Serena gave up. Dr Watson was special, she couldn¡¯t talkmon sense into her.


    The cold wind swept on Riley¡¯s face as she walked out of the hospital. She hugged her arms and she


    felt a sharp, hellish pain on her knees.


    She hailed a cab and went straight back to her apartment.


    She then took out her keys and was about to open the door, but the key wouldn¡¯t fit into the hole.


    She turned on the torchlight on her phone and realized that something was stuck in the keyhole.


    Riley snickered, a prank with bad taste!


    Who jammed her door like that? Was it a manifest or a warning? A reminder or a threat?


    Riley then called the property management and exined that her door was jammed. The people from


    the management came over shortly after. They smiled as they apologized upon arrival, ¡°We will deal


    with this problem right away, madam. But first, we would need to see some form of identification from


    you. It could be your ID card or your housing contract.¡±


    Riley only managed to grab her small handbag when she left yesterday. Only her phone and her


    lipstick were in it, she even forgot to bring her purse with her. She had no form of identification with her.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have anything with me. But I do live here, you can ask around.¡±


    The person from the management looked troubled, ¡°My apology, it¡¯spany policy that we could only


    change your lock after you show us some identification.¡±


    Riley snickered, ¡°I live here for about three years now. I bought this apartment. Do you not recognize


    me?¡±


    The person from the management was inflexible and it was getting on Riley¡¯s nerves.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have an ID on me, they¡¯re all inside the house. I¡¯ll show it to you once you open the door for


    me.¡±


    They were in a deadlock.


    They argued for a while and the person finally said, ¡°You can call your husband and make him show his


    ID. That works as well.¡±


    Riley was boiling with rage, her face gloomed as she said, ¡°No need. There¡¯s a better way to prove that


    I am the owner of this house. Let¡¯s check the CCTV for proof.¡±


    But the truth was, she rented the apartment. Though, she couldn¡¯t tell the truth as the management


    might just refuse to do anything for her.


    ¡°Well¡­fine.¡±


    Of course, Riley was also nning to find out who jammed her door by looking at the surveince


    camera. It wasn¡¯t only to convince the person to change the lock for her.


    As suspected, there was a suspicious man in a ck sports suit and a baseball cap that went up to her


    apartment shortly after she left yesterday. He messed with the door, pulled down his cap to cover his


    face and left.


    They couldn¡¯t see his face at all.


    Riley clenched her fist, ¡°I would like to request taking a look at the outdoor surveince camera as well.


    He deliberately sabotaged my door and threatened my safety. I willin to the higher-ups if this


    matter is not handled properly.¡±


    The security guard quivered hearing the word in¡±. He quickly said, ¡°Give me a sec, Miss


    Watson. I¡¯ll immediately pull out the videos.¡±


    The camera followed the suspicious person from the apartment to the walkway outside. Riley watched


    the tape intently as it trailed the person until he left the residential area.


    It was her!


    She saw a familiar yellow Ferrari and someone familiar in the car. She recognized this person!


    The security guard stared at the car. He didn¡¯t dare to say a word as Riley¡¯s face was as pale as a


    sheet.


    ¡°Give me a copy of the tape.¡±


    ¡°Erm¡­I can¡¯t do that.¡±


    ¡°My safety is threatened. You guys are to provide the evidence unconditionally to help me solve this


    case. It doesn¡¯t matter if I settle it in or out of court. Please check online if you think that I¡¯m making up


    thesews. I don¡¯t have time to exinmon knowledge to you guys, give me the tape now.¡±


    The security guards and the person from the management exchanged nces. They didn¡¯t know what


    to do.


    Riley continued yapping, ¡°You guys will have to bear the responsibilities if the matter bes worse or


    if I experienced more losses just because you guys will not give me the evidence in time.¡±


    ¡°Fine, fine, fine. We¡¯ll give it to you.¡±


    Riley put the data in her bag and said, ¡°I hope that I will be able to open my door tomorrow by 8 am.¡±


    ¡°Yes, of course.¡±


    Riley then left the surveince room, leaving the men terror-stricken.


    Riley felt a wintry breeze as she stepped out of the building. She felt cold inside and outside. Freya,


    you would pay for this!


    I would get in your way since you got in mine. We would fight till we both drop.


    She squeezed the CD in her bag that stored the copy of the surveince camera¡¯s video. She endured


    the pain in her knees and walked out of the residential area.


    ¡°Riley!¡±


    A white Mercedes stopped in front of her as she tried to hail a cab. Hendrix winded down the car


    window and peeked his head out.


    The yellow streetlights made Hendrix look more mature. He didn¡¯t appear as foppish and vain as he did


    during the day. But Hendrix was still Hendrix.


    Riley crossed her arm and peered at him, ¡°What?¡±


    Hendrix opened the door by the passenger¡¯s seat from inside and said, ¡°Can¡¯t Ie without any


    reason? Won¡¯t you give me some face?¡±


    Riley then realized that Hendrix might be here because he knew something. He knew too much and


    shouldn¡¯t be here out of pure coincidence. He probably found out where she lived and came here


    directly, instead of going to the mansion.


    Hendrix probably investigated her behind her back!


    This realization made Riley very ufortable.


    ¡°No, I won¡¯t give you face. Go to someone else, I have nothing for you here.¡± Riley just wanted to find


    Freya and condemned her. She didn¡¯t have time to deal with Mr. George right now.


    But Hendrix wasn¡¯t going to give up, he smiled carefreely and said, ¡°Fine, you don¡¯t have to give me


    any face. Riley, get in my car, I¡¯ll bring you somewhere.¡±


    Riley smiled, ¡°It¡¯s probably inappropriate for me to get in your car in the middle of the night like this.¡±


    Hendrix shrugged, ¡°Inappropriate? Don¡¯t be a coward.¡± He provoked her aptly.


    Riley snickered, ¡°I¡¯m not up for any adventures right now. I have a business to attend, please be on


    your way.¡±


    Riley was about to leave but the pain in her knees worsened. She felt like her bone was breaking into


    pieces with every step she took!


    Hendrix left his car door open. He drove at Riley¡¯s walking speed, ¡°Riley, you won¡¯t regret if youe


    with me. Trust me!¡±


    Riley hugged her arms close to her body. Not only because it was cold, but she was also trying to act


    tougher. She was his sister-inw. It seemed like he didn¡¯t understand the nature of their rtionship.


    ¡°Hendrix, I¡¯m your brother¡¯s wife. You have to keep your distance with me, okay?¡±


    Hendrix pouted and didn¡¯t seem to care, ¡°Why should I care about who you are married to?¡±


    ¡°What!¡±


    ¡°You are not someone¡¯s wife. To me, you are just an independent woman.¡±


    This bastard was a smooth talker.


    Riley squinted her eyes and said, ¡°Where are we going to?¡±


    Hendrix looked ted, ¡°You¡¯ll know when we reach there.¡±


    They arrived at JD¡¯s City most crowded Entertainment street. The neon signs were shing, and the


    street was aze with lights.


    All stores on this street belonged to the George family.


    It was George family¡¯s entertainment centre. It was broad in scale and hence people called it the Ten-li


    Long Street.


    Money and power disyed their full might here.


    Riley didn¡¯t think that Hendrix would bring her here.


    Hendrix grinned, ¡°Follow me, Riley.¡±


    Riley was in casual clothing. She was underdressed whenpared to the beautifuldies at the


    venue. People stared at her because of that. Some stared at her in disdain, some in irony. Some with


    scorn and some belittling her.


    But she ignored them.


    It was ironic that they looked down on her.


    As the owner of this prosperous ce was her husband!


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Bright white neon lights flowed like a waterfall on the outside of the main building of the entertainment


    city. After walking through the ss revolving door, one could see a row of Italian crystal chandeliers


    adorning the hall, shining as bright as day.


    Riley stood under the chandeliers. The ss on the wall refracted the lights and cast multicoloured


    rays on the ground.


    In the hall, people were dancing and moving around. It was enchanting.


    Suddenly, Riley locked her eyes on something.


    She spotted Euan¡¯s tall figure in the crowd. He was in a ck suit and white shirt. His shirt was


    unbuttoned, showing his healthy-looking skin. He held a wine ss with his slender fingers and he had


    people surrounding him.


    And there was a woman in his arms. It was as if she copsed into his arms and had no spine to


    support her own body.


    Hmph!


    That curvy figure and that bewitching heavy makeup. It was none other than the tramp, Lydia!


    Riley¡¯s night had been an exciting one!

 Chapter 12 You Were So Cool

    Chapter 12 You Were So Cool


    Riley stared at Euan and Lydia as she smiled bitterly. She quickly changed her expression from sour to


    indifferent before someone else could see it.


    Hendrix took a ss of wine from a waiter¡¯s tray. He observed Riley¡¯s reaction from afar.


    He was shocked and confused to see how indifferent she was even after seeing her husband hugging


    another woman.


    But his confusion onlysted for a few seconds. When he looked up again, he saw Riley storming


    towards Euan!


    Hendrix put one hand on the food rack and held the wine ss with his other. He looked apathetic yet


    elegant.


    He wanted to see what Riley was going to do.


    The wound on Riley¡¯s knee reopened and she could feel a sharp pain throughout her leg. The pain


    then spread towards her body. She felt like strangling Euan and Lydia to relieve her pain!


    Euan and Lydia were surrounded by people and they didn¡¯t notice Riley. The guests didn¡¯t know who


    Riley was, but they let her through as she was emitting killing intent.


    She didn¡¯t want to just expose their adultery and thought of an idea to make the night more interesting.


    Hendrix noticed that Riley turned away and left the crowd!


    What was she nning to do?


    In the midst of the crowd, Riley walked swiftly pass them and disappeared around a corner.


    Euan who was surrounded by the crowd squinted his eyes. He thought he saw someone familiar just


    now. It felt more familiar the more he stared.


    He wanted to look more clearly but he couldn¡¯t see the person anymore.


    Riley walked through the merry crowd and took a deep breath as she stood behind a Roman pir. She


    lifted her skirt and noticed that the blood was seeping through the bandage on her knee. Her wound


    had worsened.


    There were waitresses constantly walking pass the corridors next to her. Riley lowered her head and


    quickly walked towards the stairs. She avoided the surveince camera and walked down one floor.


    If she remembered correctly, this was the ce.


    And she was right. Riley smiled.


    The brightly lit hall suddenly turned pitch ck! All the lights went out!


    Noises of sses being shattered, and tables being overthrown could be heard. The guests were


    yelling, and the female guests were screaming. There was a hugemotion in the hall!


    ¡°Everyone, calm down! It¡¯s just a power failure! Stay where you are and wait for the workers to fix the


    issue!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic! Don¡¯t panic!¡±


    ¡°Stay where you are! It¡¯s just a temporary outage!¡±


    The workers of the MBK Entertainment Center were yelling on the top of their lungs trying to calm the


    customers down. But the scene was already way too chaotic, there was at least a few hundreds of


    people in the hall and they were all howling at each other uncontrobly!


    Some guests took out their phone and turned on the shlight. The white floor was stained with wine


    and it was a mess. Shattered wine sses were also all over the floor.


    ¡°Euan! Euan!¡±


    Lydia hugged her arms around Euan¡¯s neck amid the chaos. Euan nced at her in the dark and


    calmly grasped her thin wrist. He then moved her arms away, ¡°I¡¯ll go see what¡¯s up.¡±


    Lydia didn¡¯t think that Euan would abandon her like that, she was embarrassed and angry at the same


    time, ¡°But Euan, I¡¯m scared¡­¡±


    Euan frowned, ¡°Get out of the hall if you¡¯re scared.¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡±


    Just when Lydia was about to talk, Euan turned around and left, walking into the darkness.


    Euan grimaced, he thought about the familiar figure he saw just now. Was that her?


    Hendrix smiled brightly the moment the lights went out. He thought Riley was chickening out just now


    and was going to just take it, but she had a greater n in mind.


    Dr Watson, you were so cool!


    Hendrix left the hall swiftly amid the chaos and went downstairs.


    But Riley wasn¡¯t outside of the control room. The control room was filled with workers trying to get


    things to work again.


    ¡°The wire was cut off, it¡¯s going to be hard to reconnect it.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care how hard it is, just fix it! The guests today are important people, we cannot afford to offend


    them.¡±


    ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll try our best.¡±


    Hendrix smiled contently hearing the electrician¡¯s conversation. Job well done, Riley.


    Euan walked out the main building passing through the revolving ss door. He looked around


    searching for the ¡°criminal¡±. He was ring so hard, it was as if he could cut people into halves with


    that sharp gaze of his.


    Outside the parking lot.


    Riley stood in front of Euan¡¯s ck Roles-Royce. She crossed her arms and stood in front of the car.


    She then took out a lipstick from her bag and opened the lid slowly. After that, she started drawing in


    full seriousness on the windscreen¡­


    Euan, you asshole. How dare you brought Lydia the wench to a public banquet?


    Riley couldn¡¯t tell if she was feeling anger or pain. The scene of Lydia lying in Euan¡¯s arm kept


    emerging in her mind. Her heart ached as if something had sliced through her heart.


    It wasn¡¯t just pain that she felt, she also felt helpless.


    She was his wife! His wife!


    Suddenly, she heard pping sounding from yonder. She stopped drawing and looked up. It was


    Hendrix and he was lying against the car door.


    ¡°Riley, that was amazing. I respect you,¡± said Hendrix as he smirked. The expression on his handsome


    and young face was of amon smug look belonging to a rich young master.


    Riley scoffed, ¡°You¡¯re not bad yourself. You found me here.¡±


    Hendrix looked at the graffitied windscreen. He read the words out loud, ¡°Asshole, give me back my


    money¡­ Riley, well¡­What is this?¡±


    Riley threw the lipstick on the ground and wiped her unsullied hand. She snickered and said, ¡°Why? Is


    this not good enough?¡±


    Hendrix shook his head, ¡°Nope, it¡¯s not threatening enough. The degree of revenge is not high


    enough.¡±


    ¡°Oh, are you the expert now?¡± Riley crossed her arms and looked at himposedly, ¡°What would you


    write then?¡±


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Hendrix picked up the lipstick from the ground and held it between his fingers, ¡°Well, I wouldn¡¯t write


    anything, but I¡¯ll draw something on it.¡±


    Riley stared at Hendrix silently as he drew a skull on the windscreen¡­


    ¡°This is what you were nning to draw? So childish!¡±


    Hendrix threw away the lipstick and exined himself, ¡°I¡¯m making it more artistic!¡±


    Who would care about that?


    Riley turned around and was going to leave. She saw Euan with his hands in his pocket. He stared at


    her and Hendrix coldly from afar.


    The air suddenly turned colder than ice.


    So cold that she could hear ice breaking and falling onto the ground.


    Hendrix turned his head and met his brother¡¯s eyes. He cried out loud in his heart. Shit, he was caught


    red-handed!


    Riley didn¡¯t look remorse and wasn¡¯t afraid at all. She looked at Euan right into his wintry eyes and


    snickered under her breath. He was looking at Lydia so lovingly just now, but he was staring at her so


    coldly. Euan, you sure treated me well.


    ¡°Brother, what a coincidence,¡± said Hendrix, trying to divert his attention. He could see in his brother¡¯s


    eyes that he was ready to tear Riley apart anytime now.


    Euan red coldly at Hendrix, ¡°Go home!¡±


    Hendrix was stunned, ¡°Brother¡­¡±


    ¡°Go home!¡±


    Riley whispered to Hendrix, ¡°Go home. Your brother is telling you to go.¡±


    Hendrix answered in a soft voice, ¡°What will happen to you if I leave? My brother will kill you.¡±


    Rileyughed, ¡°He would¡¯ve killed me already if he really wanted to.¡±


    Euan was boiling in anger seeing the two whispering to each other. He pointed his finger at Hendrix


    andmanded, ¡°Hendrix, go home.¡±


    Euan was getting aggressive and Hendrix didn¡¯t dare to disobey him. He gulped in fear and said, ¡°I¡¯ll¡­


    I¡¯ll go now.¡±


    Hendrix gritted his teeth. He wanted to say something for Riley, but being surrounded by two


    timebombs, anything he said would cause an explosion right now.


    Hendrix knew his ce and left them alone.


    Riley slightly lifted her head to observe the expression in Euan¡¯s eyes.


    Anger, coldness, and threatening to kill.


    ¡°You sure are gutsy,¡± said Euan. There were double meanings behind his words. He said each word


    loud and clearly and they pierced through Riley¡¯s heart like an arrow.


    Riley wasn¡¯t going to cave in, ¡°I¡¯m not as gutsy as you, Mr. George. Showing off your mistress in public,


    you sure have no fear.¡±


    Her sarcasm was cold and indifferent as if she was just another spectator.


    Euan clenched his fist, he wanted to punch Riley in the face.


    ¡°Are you jealous?¡±


    Euan squinted at Riley, trying to look for a hint of jealousy on her face, but to no avail. The only


    expressions on Riley¡¯s face were bliss after revenge and her usual mocking face. There wasn¡¯t a third


    emotion.


    ¡°Why should I get jealous, Mr. George?¡±


    Euan walked closer to her and every step he took made the pressure in the atmosphere go up one bar.


    The air was getting thinner and Riley found it hard to breathe.


    Euan grabbed Riley¡¯s chin with his slender finger and said, ¡°You¡¯re not jealous? Then why go through


    all the trouble to cut the power?¡±


    The streetlights shone on Riley¡¯s nicely shaped face. He could see the stubbornness and indifferent in


    her eyes, she was emotionless and cold. Rileyughed, ¡°There wasn¡¯t any trouble at all, it was an easy


    operation.¡±


    Euan was angered to the max!


    ¡°Do you want to die?¡±


    Riley thought that he was going to punch or p her, and she would faint from it. But to her surprise,


    nothing happened. He was so angry that she could see his veins popping and his face red from being


    furious.


    But even so, he didn¡¯t hit her.


    She was surprised, but also not surprised at the same time.


    Well, why would Euan care to hit someone who was a nobody to him?


    Riley slowly reached out her hand and touched his arm. She knew that Euan hated it when she


    touched him. But tonight, she just wanted to make him mad, ¡°Mr. George, your beautiful mistress is still


    waiting for you inside. Why don¡¯t you go back to her?¡±


    Beautiful mistress? She had to be talking about Lydia.


    ¡°You dare im that you weren¡¯t jealous?¡± said Euan as he inched his handsome face closer to her.


    Riley inched backwards as he came closer.


    ¡°Why should I? Oh right, I was ted, looking at the mistress in your arms. I¡­¡±


    Before Riley could finish her sarcasm, Euan pressed his hot lips on hers! She couldn¡¯t say another


    word!


    He didn¡¯t want to hear another word from her!


    Riley was driving him crazy!


    ¡°Let¡­!¡±


    Riley struggled as she punched and kicked him. But Euan pressed hisrge stature on her and


    forcefully invaded her body!

 Chapter 13 The Lovely Wound on Lip

    Chapter 13 The Lovely Wound on Lip


    Riley tasted the smell of blood in her own mouth with her lips being bitten hard by Euan who was lying


    on her body. But he would not like to stop until Riley in his arms was crushed.


    ¡°You hurt me¡­¡± Riley was suffering from the pain on her lips and had to tell him with short words. She


    was so overwhelmed by Euan¡¯s rudeness that unable to hear what she said by herself.


    Euan took the action as a revenge which also caused him breathe heavily. In the limited space of a car,


    both of them heard each other¡¯s heavy breath clearly; that was a stimulus made them more excited¡­


    The tall and strong Euan heard she said hurt, slowing his move by instinct.


    Euan was greatly angry at the very beginning, just then, he realized he should control himself¡­ but he


    did not move his lips from Riley¡¯s lips, still licking and biting.


    At that time, Lydia was at the gate of entertainment center just around Euan¡¯s car. She was in a rage to


    bite her own lips when watching the two persons leaning on the door and cuddling each other in the


    car.


    Lydia held her mobile phone in the hand with its screen bright; she dialed Euan¡¯s number for several


    times, but he did not answer any one. He should not hear the ring at all.


    She did not believe Euan left her for the boring Riley.


    Riley, the bitch! She should try to seduce Euan in all ways! Euan had ignored her for three years; she


    still came back to get him!


    As to Hendrix, his car just had a U-turn and stopped on the opposite of the parking area. Hendrix


    looked at Euan and Riley through the car window.


    He held the steering wheel hard and got annoyed.


    He turned back and drove away madly.


    The lines in the main building had been fixed; the lights were on again in the dark night. Euan and Riley


    were illuminated suddenly to be clearly seen by others.


    Riley was worried to push Euan away.


    It was so embarrassing!


    Euan held Riley¡¯s shoulders hard and bent to see Riley who still had the power to push him after being


    kissed hard by him! He hated to see her like this.


    Riley did not know she was happy or upset with what happened to them a moment ago; she even could


    not believe it truly happened, just watched the charming Euan. With the swelling lips, she said, ¡°You¡­¡±


    Riley intended to ask why he did it to her. Euan interrupted her first, ¡°Don¡¯t be silly! You are not my


    type!¡±


    Riley was disappointed at the answer, in fact, she just got some of joy. She hated to misunderstand


    Euan one more time and sneered, ¡°Great! You neither!¡±


    Euan had a light frown and talked seriously, ¡°Fuck off!¡±


    Riley held tight thep of her top, controlling her anger and sadness with all efforts. Just before talking,


    she nced at Lydia who was d to see the argument between Euan and Riley. Soon she stopped


    being angry and sneered, then she raised her heels slowly to give a kiss to Euan.


    Lydia was astonished. What was Riley doing?


    Riley stood back and saw the mad Lydia. Then she had a p on Euan¡¯s chest and smiled as a proud


    princess, ¡°Are you really the most popr single man? Just so-so.¡±


    Riley stepped backward and kept away from Euan. There was wind blowing her long hair as well as the


    skirt.


    Euan looked at her with anger, with her bandage on the bleeding wound on the knee in sight. The red


    of blood was too eye-catching.


    ¡°Euan!¡± Someone was calling the name gently; the quietness was interrupted by Lydia. With great


    resentment at Riley, she stepped hard towards them.


    Euan had a frown and swift his eyes from Riley¡¯s knee to Lydia.


    Lydia said, ¡°Euan, the line is fixed. All the guests are waiting there. Since you are the host tonight, don¡¯t


    leave your guests for a nobody.¡±


    With arms crossed over the chest, Riley watched Lydia talking with ttering and smiled to say, ¡°You


    are like the hostess tonight. As Euan¡¯s wife, should I ask you to take good care of my husband today or


    tell you to be well-behaved, not mess with me?¡±


    Lydia sneered and said, ¡°Riley, what are you talking about? Yes, you are Euan¡¯s wife, so you think you


    can do everything? Euan can terminate your marriage any time!¡±


    Riley had a look at the Euan; he was a poker-face that disappointed her. She said, ¡°Thank you. I hope


    so.¡±


    She tried to protect herst dignity; in the game involving three persons, she preferred losing all to


    keeping little.


    But when hearing what Riley said, Euan looked annoyed.


    Leaving both of Euan and Lydia there, Riley stood straight and walked away from them peacefully with


    suffering from the pain on the knee.


    Euan was angry with Riley, but still watched her leaving. He knew Riley got badly hurt on her knee.


    Lydia held Euan¡¯s arm and smiled. She said, ¡°Euan, why does she always bother you? She is too


    arrogant to know who she is. You just let her be like this? Why not divorce?¡±


    Euan did not answer her for the first words. However, as soon as listening to thest question, he gave


    a fierce look at Lydia; she was shocked and looked pale.


    Euan warned her, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I worry about you¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t need it.¡± Euan said to her coldly.


    He avoided Lydia¡¯s hand and continued to say, ¡°This is your party today. You should go back to take


    care of your guests.¡±


    Lydia opened her eyes wide, ¡°Euan, won¡¯t you go with me?¡±


    Euan was pulling the door of his car and answered, ¡°I hate to repeat what I said.¡±


    Lydia closed her mouth, not saying anything.


    Euan was really mad; Lydia dared not to disturb him then. She was smart enough to know when to stay


    with him and when to keep away. She had to do the right thing at the right time and in the right ce.


    Lydia left the parking area and started to work out a n.


    Euan looked down at the words and painting on the windshield and was angry.


    Riley broke the line and ruined his car to revenge him?


    She was just like a wild cat not taught well. Euan thought about her with great interest.


    Riley kept walking and stopped until she was sure that Euan would not see her anymore. She was in


    great pain sitting on the edge of the road and had a look at her wound on the knee. It did hurt!


    She did not know when the lock of her apartment to be fixed; she did not take her ID card so that she


    could not check-in in a hotel. Riley was afraid she would sleep over on the road tonight.


    She sat there with carrying her knees in her arms; for the first time, she found it extremely poor to be


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    homeless.


    To make her more miserable, her mobile phone powered off when she was trying to call for help.


    But Riley started tough after being so upset.


    One would first get mad before going to hell.


    Just then, there was some car light from her back. It was too strong that Riley had to block her eyes


    with the hand; after a while, a car stopped in front of her.


    In her mind, Riley expected that finally her prince came to save her!


    But she was not as lucky as expected!


    The window was swift down; she saw the poker face. Euan put one hand on the edge of the window;


    good-looking as him under all the light, he still appeared to keep everyone far away.


    Euan said, ¡°You made my car dirty! Come to clean it.¡±


    Riley twitched her mouth, ¡°Who told you I made it?¡±


    Euan was impatient to say, ¡°Don¡¯t argue with me for anything I order!¡±


    Listening to this, Riley gritted her teeth, but it provoked her pain on the bitten lips as well as on the


    knee.


    She just thought, ¡°Euan, someone up there always wants us to see each other. I will get misfortune for


    sure whenever meeting you.¡±


    Riley put one hand on the well knee on purpose to let Euan see the hurt one. She turned to look at him.


    Under the street light, she was not a cold fish any longer, like ady more.


    Riley did not find Euan showed some care about her; just a little was too difficult to see.


    She said, ¡°I can clean your car. But I don¡¯t have any tool for now. What if I break the car?¡±


    ¡°Be careful!¡±


    Riley ignored Euan¡¯s words and stood up to say, ¡°Ok.¡±


    She pulled the car door of the passenger seat to sit in and fasten the safety belt, ¡°Please, wherever.¡±


    Just then, Riley was too aggressive to be like ady. Euan was annoyed with what she was like and


    speeded up his car. Riley was almost broken in the fast speeding car.


    The car stopped at the gate of YJ Vi.


    It was rather quiet inside the car. Riley pretended not to see where they were and guessed what Euan


    would like to do soon.


    Euan ordered her, ¡°Get off.¡±


    Riley was moving out, but the pain from her wound being pulled caused her fall back on the seat.


    Before she realizing what to do next, Euan got off the car to walked to her side. Without her permission,


    he pulled the car door hard to carried her in his arms.


    There was a bombing in Riley¡¯s mind much powerful than the kiss she just got from Euan tonight. Riley


    could not think about anything.


    She felt shy and got greatly pink on her cheeks.


    He was trying to make her feel better?


    Euan felt Riley¡¯s nervousness from her tense back; he was afraid that Riley would misunderstand him.


    He told her, ¡°Don¡¯t lose your mind! I am just happy to use a cleaner free of charge.¡±


    Finally, Riley knew she should not expect too much from Euan who always refused to be nice to her.


    She only said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As a definitely smart person, I will not do anything stupid as you think!¡±

 Chapter 14 The Two Stayed in the Villa at Night

    Chapter 14 The Two Stayed in the Vi at Night


    Euan put Riley on the sofa of the living room when they got back to the vi; there was a first aid box


    beside the sofa. It was the same as the night they experienced before. Riley had a frown because she


    felt much hurt on her knee as well as she found Euan was much emotionally abnormal on the recent a


    couple of days.


    Riley had a look at Euan who sat on the sofa reading the document. He leaned on the back of sofa,


    looking so cold and elegant; especially then under a floormp¡¯s light, his eyshes cast shadow of a


    fan on the lower eyelid.


    Riley admitted she would be obsessed with Euan whenever seeing him.


    She turned to look at her wound on the knee. She took off the bandage carefully; it was too much pain


    that caused her almost scream. The wound got worse and blood was sticky to the bandage which was


    greatly difficult to take off. She had to do it slowly.


    When Riley was making it, Euan did not see her at all, just saying easily, ¡°You have to live in the vi


    recently.¡±


    Riley was surprised to hear it and raised her head to see Euan. Before she asking anything, Euan had


    known what she was thinking from her eyes. He turned to another page of his document and said, ¡°I


    will not live here with you.¡±


    Riley was some of embarrassed and felt like losing face for Euan¡¯s question. He knew what she was


    thinking. But she had to deny it, ¡°Of course I know. I would like to ask you whether someone else will


    be here.¡±


    Such as Lydia.


    If Euan also lived in the vi, Lydia woulde to meet him. She was thest one in the world whom


    Riley loved to see.


    Euan seemed to be unhappy. He believed Riley said he was someone else.


    He said, ¡°Someone else has lived in the vi for three years.¡±


    Riley got to know Euan¡¯s unhappiness, but she did not know what to say. Obviously, both of them were


    giving tit for tat to each other, simply but too irritating.


    She asked, ¡°Why asked me to live here? My own condo was cozy to live in. I am afraid I should not


    bother you in your vi.¡±


    The half of bandage had been off the wound. Riley started to take off thest half, but she was getting


    more sweater on forehead with more pain. Finally, she was too angry with Euan to feel the pain


    anymore.


    The power of anger was so amazing!


    Euan said, ¡°Hendrix just returned. He would like to know more about my life and will visit the vi for


    sure. But I have not got the exact time.¡±


    So?


    Riley said with a cold smile, ¡°We have to y the roles for your younger brother?¡±


    Euan had a look at her. He would like to do anything to stop her from saying these mean words, ¡°You


    are not a new yer.¡±


    ¡°Thanks to you.¡±


    Riley took off all the bandage and wiped her sweat on the forehead with her hand. She had some pink


    on her radiant white face with much sweater as well the pale lips bitten hard by herself. She did not


    look so strong for just one second, but it touched someone¡¯s heart.


    Riley continued to say, ¡°If you try to let Mr. Hendrix George believe we live here together and deeply


    love each other, I need something from you. Even if you don¡¯t n to live here, could you please send


    some of your belongings here and make them easily seen?¡±


    Euan watched her speaking lips and then swift his eyes soon, ¡°Sure.¡±


    Riley applied the medicine on her wound and looked at the big living room. Luxurious and high-ss as


    it was, the vi was not a perfect one for a family¡¯s life, without warmth and love here.


    Euan said, ¡°Please go to buy anything you need.¡± He got a golden card from the pocket of his suits to


    give Riley.


    Riley saw the card and asked, ¡°Anything?¡±


    Euan nced at her with nothing to say.


    She was allowed to buy anything she liked with the money or card he gave to her. Nevertheless, Euan


    was surprised that Riley had never paid for anything by his credit card as an authorized user in the


    three years, even he believed Riley married him only to get wealth.


    Sometimes, he was eager to know why Riley married him? Money might not be the only reason; was


    there anything else she would like to get?


    Riley had her wound well wrapped and said with a smile, ¡°You are so nice. Thank you very much!¡±


    Euan said quietly, ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±


    It was getting dark at night. They sat separately with a sofa in the middle, nothing to talk.


    It was too quiet and peaceful in the living room. Riley started to enjoy the peace.


    Enjoying the peace?


    Riley shook her head to keep herself clear; she did not believe Euan also enjoyed the moment.


    Euan read the two documents many times, almost keeping all the terms in his mind. He kept doing it to


    stay here.


    Out of his expectation, he did not feel any disturbed here with Riley whom he considered to be up to


    something bad.


    This was some different experience with what Euan got for living alone.


    Riley decided to leave first. She held the sofa to stand up and had a bit on her lips, talking with the cold


    Euan, ¡°I have to take a shower.¡±


    Euan did not expect Riley to tell him she would have a shower. It wasmon between the husband


    and wife. Euan started to imagine just then Riley said ¡°Honey, I have to take a shower.¡±


    ¡°Ok.¡± Euan said.


    Riley did not think Euan was going to live here. It was toote and the time for him to leave. How would


    he have a good sleep if leaving toote?


    Riley asked him seriously and carefully, ¡°Are you going to leave now?¡±


    Euan was mad soon with her question; she was asking him to go?


    He said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I hate to live together with you.¡±


    ¡°Great!¡± Then Riley got upstairs to her bedroom happily and closed the door hard.


    Euan threw the documents on the table and stared at Riley¡¯s room on the second floor. He almost lost


    his mind to rush to kill her then!


    Euan got his mobile phone and dialed his assistant¡¯s number, ¡°Come to YJ Vi to pick me up. Yep,


    now!¡±


    Elijah Parker did not understand why his boss was so angry and why did he go to the YJ Vi? He


    knew Euan had not been there for three years.


    Elijah parked the car just outside the vi. Euan was silent after getting in the car and probably


    offended by somebody.


    Elijah saw the light was on in the bedroom of the second floor and tried to ask Euan, ¡°Mr. George, did


    you forget to turn off the light? Or someone is in the room now?¡±


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    He understood what the house was like to Euan. It was a forbidden area in Euan¡¯s life where only Riley


    was allowed toe and go freely. Elijah certainly knew who was there in the room.


    Euan said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t bullshit. Get start.¡±


    Elijah made fun of Euan and said, ¡°Hey boss, you are here. Why not stay overnight? Riley rarelyes


    to the vi. You should grab the chance.¡±


    Euan continued to say, ¡°Start. Or fuck off.¡±


    Elijah said, ¡°Ok, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Riley had a reced holiday on the next day.


    For the first time, she cost three hours to buy lots of things with Euan¡¯s credit card.


    Riley felt greatly satisfied with the full trunk.


    But she knew she had to do something more important than tidying up the vi.


    Riley locked the vi and drove to the CBD.


    She stopped near a top office building and looked up at the office area of her family¡¯s business. giving a


    bitter smile.


    Riley had not visited here for long time.


    Her father had ever done very well in the Watson family¡¯s business before so that her family was


    greatly prestigious. Since her younger sister, Freya Watson took over the business, people had not got


    any good news about it. On contrast, more gossips about Freya herself was released by the media.


    An elegantdy?


    A fashion icon?


    A new money owner?


    Pooh!


    Nobody with normal taste would consider Freya to be a new money owner from her public image.


    Riley did not work for her family¡¯s business; it was natural that she did not hold any power here. As an


    elder daughter in the family, it was still strange that no staff recognized her.


    Riley seldom attended social parties. And before she went to an overseas university for a bachelor and


    a master degree and stayed there for six years. No wonder few people knew there was an elder


    daughter in the Watson family.


    It was Freya who was well known and weed everywhere.


    Riley heard Freya saying, ¡°Meeting? Are you kidding? I have a facial appointment with my sweetie this


    afternoon. Don¡¯t you know?¡±


    The secretary answered, ¡°Freya, this is a meeting for our three parties. It will be significant to our


    potential cooperation.¡±


    ¡°The guy just wants me to have a date with him! Contact Mr. Zane another day. I will go to meet him.¡±


    ¡°Freya, but¡­¡±


    ¡°Finish! Go out.¡±


    The angry secretary had to leave Freya¡¯s office soon. She could not ept she was med for doing


    right jobs.


    Riley neither epted Freya managed the business carried on from their father in such way.


    She pushed the door hard to see Freya was ying her gel nails carefully. Freya thought her secretary


    came back and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Riley said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t you know why I am here?¡±


    The voice surprised Freya who raised her head to see Riley. Freya asked, ¡°Riley, what are youing


    for today?¡±


    Riley walked towards her and said, ¡°You really don¡¯t understand? I think I am the better one to be


    here.¡±


    Freya stood up to said aggressively, ¡°Do you regret letting me manage thepany? Now intend to


    take it?¡±


    Riley sneered, ¡°Are you scaring?¡±


    Freya said, ¡°No. Should I scare of it? Since you are my elder sister?¡±


    Riley sat on the sofa beside the desk and answered calmly, ¡°I am happier if I am not.¡±


    Freya gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I am working, not free to talk more with you.¡±


    Riley sat there with elbows on the desk and two hands holding together. She watched Freya dressed in


    luxurious brands as well as her face having been done many stic surgeries. Freya really hated to


    see her and talk with her.


    Riley said, ¡°I am not avable to chat with you. Ie to get your exnation about it.¡± then she threw


    a VCD on the desk. In her mind, she preferred throwing it to Freya¡¯s face to humiliate her.


    Freya got it to see, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±


    Riley said a cold smile, ¡°Watch it please. My dear sister.¡±


    Freya was wondering what it was and turned on the video. She was getting unhappy with watching


    more and totally annoyed atst.


    ¡°Is it amazing video? Freya, do you like the gift from me?¡±

 Chapter 15 IQ Was Too Low To Match Her Shot

    Chapter 15 IQ Was Too Low To Match Her Shot


    Freya''s legs turned to jelly the moment she saw the surveince footage, while her hands holding the


    mouse trembled uncontrobly. Her eyes stared at Riley like they had lost focus, and from the tone of


    her voice just now, Freya could tell that Riley was not going to throw her hand in.


    "What do you want?" Although Freya was trying hard to stay calm and unnoticed, her voice betrayed


    her as soon as she opened her mouth.


    Freya was nothing but a paper tiger.


    Riley looked at Freya, who was scared out of her wits, and suddenly felt sad for her, "You ask me what


    I want? My good sister, that''s what I want to ask you, what do you want?"


    Freya froze and sank herself into the boss chair, a chill running down her back. She looked up at Riley


    and didn''t say anything as she was more afraid she might say the wrong thing.


    Seeing that Freya was already scared like that, Riley said, "Today, you blocked my keyhole, so


    tomorrow are you going to block my mouth forever? Freya, do you think I should block your mouth first


    before you block mine?''


    Freya''s eyes suddenly widened twice as wide. She looked at the imperturbable Riley in a daze, her


    heart was overwhelmed with guilty conscience and uneasy, but then she took a deep breath.


    She couldn''t be defeated by Riley, everything was just the beginning!


    "Riley, what are you freaking out about in my office! Get the hell out of here! Get out!" Freya pointed at


    the door to drive Riley away, but thetter looked indifferent.


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    "What''s your hurry? When I want to go, I''ll go on my own, but right now, I don''t want to go yet."


    Riley randomly drew a document from the file basket and flipped through it, then tapped her fingers on


    the table again and again. "Freya, are you going to apologize to me now, or are we going to appoint a


    Every word she said in a tone that was neither joking nor serious carried a lot of weight, making Freya''s


    heart pound when she heard the words.


    "You want me to apologize? In your dreams! Riley, yes, I was the one who sent someone to block your


    door! Not only do I want to block your door, I also want to kill you!"


    Freya stood erect, but her body was trembling with rage. Her finger pointed at Riley''s forehead, with


    the urge to kill her.


    Riley smiled faintly. She looked up at Freya, who instantly took off herdylike disguise and acted like a


    madwoman.


    It was really no fun talking to Freya.


    She liked someone smarter or someone who was at least not as dumb as she was.


    Freya was simply not worthy of being her opponent.


    "Oh, want to kill me? Let me give you a chance. You don''t have to y any tricks, just kill me now."


    Riley''s eyes always had a faint smile in them, and her smile didn''t even give a hint of sarcasm.


    After living with Freya for so long, she would be a failure if she didn''t understand how this woman''s


    brain was structured.


    Freya grabbed a folder and tried to smash it at Riley, but luckily there was still a sliver of sanity left in


    her mind. In the blink of an eye, Freya smiled, slowly put down the folder and sat back in her chair.


    "Riley, since you have the evidence in hand, why don''t you just go to the Public Security Bureau and


    report it? When the officers of the Public Security Bureau take me away and sentence me to a few


    years in prison, you can get all the Watson family''s property back, can''t you? But..."


    She smiled even more smugly and arrogantly. "What do you think will happen to thepany''s stock


    once the media learns that the Watson family''s general director has been arrested and jailed for a


    confrontation with her sister?"


    "You should have heard about the operating status of the family business. If Mom and I hadn''t done our


    best to support it, the Watson family would have gone bankrupt!"


    After Freya finished her words, she hooked her scarlet lips and moved her upper body up slightly,


    staring at Riley.


    Riley clenched her fist, she didn''t expect a woman with such a low IQ like Freya would actually figure it


    out.


    She didn''t hand her over directly to the police for fear of causing a domino effect. She had thought of


    didn''t dare to act rashly.


    But, who was Riley?


    "Do you think I care much for the Watsons'' property? You probably forget that I am the young mistress


    of the George family, Euan''s wife. One finger of Euan can decide the survival of the Watson family, do


    you think I really don¡¯t dare to touch you?"


    "Hahahaha! The young mistress of the George family?! Do you really think of yourself as the daughter-


    inw of the George family? If Euan thought of you as his wife, would he still be constantly exposed in


    the media with Lydia and not say a word about you? My dear sister, it''s so pathetic that you don''t even


    know you''ve been dumped!"


    Riley''s fair, slender fingers tapped on the table, over and over, while raising her eyebrows." Do you


    want to bet on the assets of the Watson family? To see if I have the ability to do so or not?"


    The muscles in Freya''s face tautened, "You ..."


    "And, if something like this happens again, it won''t be as simple as giving you a warning. Of course, out


    of consideration for the reputation of the Watson family, I won''t turn you over to the police, but there are


    plenty of ways in this world to shut a person up forever. I have ten thousand ways to keep your mouth


    shut, and likewise, I have ten thousand ways to make people not believe your words."


    Riley kept a smile on her face, and the ripples in her pupils had the power to make people''s blood


    creep.


    "What are you trying to do?!"


    "I told you my purpose long ago, apologize to me."


    Riley and Freya stared at each other, and Freya gritted her teeth, refusing to do that.


    "I''ll only give you ten seconds, and if I still don''t hear your apology, I''ll have to pay you back the way


    you did to me."


    Riley looked straight ahead, the face of the woman in front of her turned an unnatural shade of purple


    from anger. Her five fingers clenched into fists bit by bit, but she didn''t dare to do anything.


    Riley was Euan''s wife. Although he didn''t care about her and even had an affair with another woman,


    she was still the daughter-inw of the George family after all, so her words still carried a lot of weight.


    Freya, who didn''t know the inside story, had scruples about her.


    Stiffening her neck and gritting her teeth, Freya spat out three words, "I''m sorry."


    Riley arose slowly from her seat, afraid to tear her wounds, then she looked down at Freya with a half-


    smile. "I''ll leave this CD for you to keep. Oh, by the way, I''m afraid you''ll lose it, so I''ve got a few copies


    for you. If you identally scratch the CD, I can give you another one."


    Freya''s teeth chattered, "Get out!"


    "Give my regards to your amazing mom and tell her to cherish the days living in the Watson family vi,


    because maybe one day in the future..."


    "Get out of here right now!"


    Once again, Freya stood up, pointed at the door and growled. This time, she hadpletely stripped of


    her disguise, revealing her grumpy, capricious and brainless side.


    "It seems that you already knew that in your heart." She added, then smiled faintly.


    Riley walked out of the Watsons office building with light and nimble steps. Sitting in the car, she looked


    at the logo hanging on the building.


    "Riley, do you like this?"


    Seven- and eight-year-old Riley was held in her father''s arms as her little hands touched the craft with


    the Watson Group''s logo on it, and she smiled sweetly. "I love it!"


    "When you grow up, help Daddy manage thepany, okay?"


    At that time, Riley thought for a moment, blinked her big eyes a few times, then shook her head and


    said, "No, I don''t want to manage apany, I want to be a doctor."


    Riley''s father stroked his baby daughter''s head and asked, "Why do you want to be a doctor


    instead of managing apany?"


    Riley pursed her lips, "Because, when I be a doctor and learn the art of medicine, I can save


    many people. If I be a verypetent doctor in the future, when Daddy gets sick, I''ll be able to


    cure Daddy!"


    Riley believed that if she had been a good doctor, her mother would not have died from illness.


    Shaking her head, Riley pulled herself back from the memory.


    Now, she couldn''t help but wonder if she was wrong to give up her father''spany in the first ce.


    At this moment, her phone rang.


    "Dr. Watson, pleasee to the hospital immediately."


    Something happened again?


    "Which patient this time?"


    Riley buckled her seatbelt, answered the phone with her Bluetooth headset, then started the car and


    headed to the hospital.¡±


    "This case is already a big deal. Dr. Watson¡­you may get into trouble, but don¡¯t worry yet, Dean


    Houston and Director Patrick are already working on it."


    Serena''s voice was very nervous, the chaos behind her could still be heard despite the ss door.


    "What''s going on?"


    "The patient transferred to our department yesterday had a sudden myocardial infarction an hour ago


    and we were not able to resuscitate him ..."


    Yesterday? He was a patient of Riley''s.


    "Why didn''t you tell me earlier?"


    Riley floored the gas pedal. The consequences of a patient''s sudden death varied in severity. If it was


    serious, she really would be in trouble.


    "The patient was treated well at first, nothing was wrong, but then he suddenly..."


    "I got it, I''m going over there now!"


    "You..e in through the back doorter. The patient''s family is making a scene and insisting that the


    hospital give them a statement. Also, the patient''s family mentioned your name and said they want to


    see you, so youe over here first and see what Dean Houston will say."


    Riley drove to the hospital as fast as she could, and just as she stepped out of the elevator, she heard


    someone burst into a storm of curses.


    "hical hospital! hical doctors! Give back my husband''s life!''


    "You irresponsible ck-hearted liars!"


    "...you all will die sonless!¡±


    Serena slipped out of the side door, took Riley by the hand and tried to take her away. "Dr. Watson, the


    patient''s family is irrational right now, and you can''t confront them head-on. If they hit you, you''ll be


    killed."


    Riley frowned, "They wouldn''t dare, I''ll have to exin that to them."


    "What do you want to exin? If they would have listened to the exnation, they would have left long


    ago! Dean Houston has just been escorted back to his room by security, so you can meet him in his


    room now."


    Riley nodded, "Alright."


    "That''s her! That''s her! She''s my brother''s doctor in charge!"


    Before Riley, who was dressed in casual clothes, could enter the elevator, arge group of people


    behind her rushed to her like the beasts. "You killed my son! You give me back my son! Give me back


    my son!"


    About seven people blocked Riley''s path and the middle-aged woman leading the group grabbed Riley


    by the hair and beat her up!


    "You son of a bitch! You''re a murderer for money!"


    "Beat her to death! Beat this bitch to death to avenge my brother''s death!"


    The security guards tried to mp down on the agitated bereaved family members, but they grabbed


    Riley like a maniac and didn''t let go of her. Riley frowned, then tilted her head and yelled angrily,


    "Stop!"


    A cold and horrifying bellow of rage put the bereaved family members in a trance and surprisingly


    stopped their actions.


    Riley''s long hair was torn until it hung loosely over her shoulders, and her cor was disheveled from


    the tussle. Her expression was solemn without a hint of panic, and her palms had long been wet with


    sweat.


    "I''m the patient''s doctor in charge, and I''m sorry for his sudden death, but you should know very well


    that his condition has¡­"


    "We don''t listen to this! You''re a liar!"


    "Get her! Beat her to death!"

 Chapter 16 He Was Behind Her, But She Didnt Know It

    Chapter 16 He Was Behind Her, But She Didn''t Know It


    "Dr. Watson! Come with me!"


    The moment Riley was nearly beaten by the patient''s family, Teddy yanked her by the wrist and pulled


    her into the elevator!


    As the elevator doors closed quickly, the horrific images of the patient''s family howling and waving their


    fists like madmen were still unfolding in Riley''s vision.


    Leaning her back against the wall of the elevator, Riley hadn''t yet recovered from the fright. The scene


    just now was too horrible, it was the first time since she became a doctor that she encountered a


    medical disturbance, and it was so crazy.


    Teddy looked at Riley with concern and tried to console her, "Are you okay?"


    Riley nodded, "Thank you."


    Teddy saw the beads of sweat on Riley''s forehead and was still uneasy. "You''re not on duty today. Why


    are you in the hospital? You''d better not show up during this extraordinary period and wait for this storm


    to pass. They just think female attending doctors are easy to bully."


    "In that case, I''ll have to prove to them that female doctors aren''t easy to bully."


    The elevator slowly descended while Teddy''s expression stayed frozen. "Are you going to y hardball


    with these people? Dr. Watson, these families who have just lost their beloved are irrational, so there''s


    no point in reasoning with them! Got it? You shouldn¡¯t take any chances."


    Riley nced sideways at Teddy, who was wearing a white coat and holding a medical record folder.


    He looked very refined and clearly didn''t want to make a big deal out of this case.


    "Now that it has happened, I can''t just sit back and do nothing. I''m the patient''s attending doctor, so I


    can''t avoid responsibility at any time. Thank you for your help just now, you may go on patient rounds


    now."


    Midway through the elevator''s descent, Riley pressed a numbered button and left the elevator earlier.


    "Dr. Wilson, don''t be impulsive! Dean Houston and Director Patrick are working on a solution!"


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    But with the closing of the elevator doors, Teddy''s voice was all isted in the elevator


    Riley went directly to Boris''s office.


    Seeing that theer was Riley, Boris pushed his sses on the bridge of his nose, "Why are you


    here? Are youing to the hospital at this time to be beaten alive by the patient''s family?"


    Riley bowed to express her gratitude, "Dean Houston, thank you very much for exining on behalf of


    me just now, but the deceased was my patient. I can''t shirk my responsibility, and I have an obligation


    to exin the facts. If I don''te forward, it will only make people think that the hospital is hiding


    something, so I want to examine the corpse."


    Boris narrowed his cloudy eyes sharply, held his sses in one hand and stared at Riley like a ghost.


    "Riley, are you crazy? Examining a corpse? I''ve already read through the patient''s medical records. He


    was indeed admitted to the hospital for acute myocardial infarction and had no other medical history."


    Riley nodded, "I know, but I can''t guarantee that the patient didn''t have other symptoms before the


    outbreak."


    At this time, the chief of the internal medicine department, who was in over his head because of the


    medical disturbance, also rushed to Boris''s office. When he saw that Riley was also there, he rubbed


    his half-bald head and said, "Dean Houston, the patient''s family is burning joss paper at the entrance of


    the hospital. They''ve even put up the banners, apparently trying to ckmail us."


    Three of them stood by the window and looked down at the banner hanging in front of the hospital. A


    was dressed in white mourning clothes, kneeling andmenting at the entrance in an exaggerated


    disy.


    Riley frowned and said, "It seems they are really after the money. Dean Houston, Director Patrick, if we


    concede and give them money to buy silence, we will only encourage this unhealthy tendency. This


    approach is only a temporary solution and doesn''t cure the root cause in the long run."


    Boris took off his sses and wiped the corners of his eyes, "What is your solution to this matter? Tell


    me what you think."


    The faces of Freya and her mother suddenly came to Riley¡¯s mind. All those years, it was because she


    didn''t want to fight for anything that they kept stepping on her shoulders to climb to the pinnacle of


    power in the Watson family.


    Damn it!


    "I insist on an autopsy of the deceased''s body and ask a forensic expert to be a notary. If it was a


    mistake in my treatment, I will take responsibility and will definitely not cause any trouble to the


    hospital. However, if it is the patient''s personal problem, I will ask the family to apologize to the


    hospital, and will never be perfunctory about this matter."


    Riley''s words were reasonable. Boris and Simon looked at each other and agreed after consideration,


    but the problem was, "The family of the deceased may not agree to an autopsy...Riley, you''d better be


    mentally prepared."


    Riley nodded, even though it would be difficult, she would never allow anyone to sling mud at her and


    vilify her reputation.


    Simon said, "It''s certainly good that Dr. Watson has an abhorrence of sin and couldn''t turn a blind eye


    to it, but¡­based on the current situation, do you think..."


    "Director Patrick, a man of moral integrity doesn''t fear any nderous attack. Please don''t worry, I''ll


    deal with it."


    Boris then made a phone call, "Security team, send ten men over to escort Dr. Watson."


    "Unscrupulous doctors, trampling on human lives!"


    "Give me back the life! Give me back my hard-earned money!"


    Riley walked out of the outpatient building with a few security personnel. The hospital courtyard was


    hung all over with white banners. These white cloths with ck writing were even stained with "blood"


    that had been sshed with scarlet ink.


    At the beginning, there were only about seven family members, but at this point¡­


    Well, now there were about seventy people!


    The patient was a native of JD City. ording to this number, it appeared that his family had gathered


    people they knew from several kilometers around.


    "Thump!"


    An egg was smashed fair and square on Riley, and the yolk stained her white shirt and soiled her entire


    chest!


    "Give me back the life!


    "Bitch doctor, get the hell out of the hospital!"


    "ck-hearted hospital, return our hard-earned money!"


    The family roared out of control again as the second egg smashed to Riley and was quickly deflected


    by a security guard with his own back!


    "Dr. Watson, this isn''t going to work. You go inside and leave this to us."


    Riley wiped the egg yolk off her body and then looked at the people who were crazy about money


    without batting an eye...


    At this moment, in the office on the top floor of MKB International Corporation. Euan, who had returned


    to his office after a meeting, unintentionally turned on the disy screen hanging on the wall, and when


    his finger was about to switch the channel to financial news, his action was stopped forcibly by a


    woman''s face on the screen.


    Riley, who had been pelted by the eggs, and dozens of protestors looked at each other. In a serious


    and biting voice she said, "I''m Riley, Ernest''s attending doctor¡­"


    Next, Riley gave a detailed exnation of the patient''s condition. She acted sensibly and objectively


    from the beginning to the end, without the slightest fear and trepidation.


    While outside the TV, Euan was gently pinching the remote control with his slender fingers. The


    reporters were reporting live, and Riley on the screen was struggling to exin something, but


    apparently none of them wanted to listen to her.


    Her long, disheveled hair trailed over her shoulders, and her face was a little pale. Euan looked down


    from her dirty shirt, and his gaze lingered on her knee, where her injured leg was trembling gently.


    "Therefore, I would like your permission for the hospital to perform an autopsy on the patient''s body.


    Regarding the real cause of death of the patient, I''ll give you all a satisfactory answer after I find out. If


    it was my mistake, I''ll apologize to you andpensate you for all your losses."


    As Euan watched the news to this point, he made an internal call.


    "Come in for a minute."


    Euan''s eyes, deep as an abyss, were fixed on Riley. Her suggestion was rejected on the spot, and she


    had infuriated the family of the deceased.


    The scene was out of control. The limited security personnel couldn''t resist the bare-knuckle attack of


    therge number of the family members, but they also didn''t dare to fight hard with the family members


    with their real skills, so they had no choice but to be forced back step by step!


    "Riley Watson! My son was killed alive by you! You must get down on your knees and apologize now!"


    "Kneel down! Kowtow! Admit your mistake!"


    "Riley, you''re a murderer! You killed someone!"


    A burly bruiser punched a security guard to the ground, then his big, steel-like hands grabbed Riley''s


    slender wrist and mmed her to the ground fiercely!


    "Pow!"


    Riley lost her bnce and fell heavily to the ground!


    The friction and vibration between the white floor and Riley''s two knees made it too painful for Riley to


    stand up.


    The new and old wounds had drained all the color from Riley''s face. All she could feel was a buzzing in


    her ears and she couldn''t hear what others were saying.


    "The police are here!"


    "Police! Hurry up! Police!"


    The siren of the police car grew clearer and Riley was helped to her feet. She propped her eyes open


    and saw several uniformed men approaching and standing straight in front of her.


    "Miss Watson, we will investigate this medical disturbance, and we hope you will cooperate with us."


    What?


    The police had already consciously ruled this matter as a medical disturbance?


    It was the first time in her life that Riley was taken to the police station to make a statement, and she


    was in an uncharacteristically bad mood.


    After making the statement, Riley got the consent form for the autopsy. A dozen family members, who


    were brought to the police station with Riley, stared at Riley viciously, "Just wait and see. If Ernest was


    killed by you, I will not let you go!"


    One of the police officers scolded sternly, "Do you still dare to threaten the client in front of the police?"


    A dozen people were then silenced.


    Riley nodded, "Thank you."


    "Don''t mention it, it''s just part of our job. We''ve sent the forensic expert to the hospital, and when the


    autopsy resultse out, everything will be clear."


    Since Riley had been injured in the earlier incident, she was allowed to stay out of the autopsy. Riley,


    who was in pain, staggered out of the police station. Looking at the blue sky, she felt a lot of emotions


    in her heart.


    Her life had been so damn eventfultely.


    In the reception room of the police station.


    Elijah shook the police officers'' hand, "Thank you very much! You all have worked so hard!"


    Captain Hunt saluted and smiled, "It''s not hard work at all. For Mr. George''s case, we''ll definitely


    handle it properly. Mr. Parker, you can ask Mr. George to rest assured when you go back. We


    guarantee that something like a medical disturbance won''t happen again."


    Elijah said, "If so, that''s the best. JD Central Hospital is the ace hospital in JD City. No one wants to


    have a bad time."


    "Yes, yes, yes!"


    As Elijah walked out of the police station, he saw Riley standing not far away waving for a cab. Just


    then the phone number he had dialed was connected.


    "Boss, the matter has been settled and Young Mistress is fine¡­Her leg? Young Mistress''s leg seems to


    be¡­Yes, boss, I''ll go now¡­"


    When Elijah was about to pick up Riley, a white Aston Martin pulled up in front of her. The driver slowly


    rolled down the window and it was Hendrix!


    "Sister-inw, you''re now an overnight sensation! Your video on the Inte has been seen by more


    than half of the Chinese people."


    Riley snorted, "Are you here to troll me?"


    "Of course not! I''vee especially to take you, the white angel, home. Come on, get in the car. That


    bastard just hit you hard, don''t worry, I''ll help you screw him up."


    Riley found it difficult to get a taxi here, so she pulled open the door and got into the back seat.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Seeing that Elijah stopped talking, Euan asked impatiently.


    Elijah swallowed nervously, "Uh¡­Boss, just now Young Mistress¡­ she has been picked up¡­"


    "By whom?" Euan''s voice was so cold that even his cold breath coulde through the microphone.


    Elijah replied, "¡­by¡­by Master Hendrix."

 Chapter 17 Get Lost in One Minute

    Chapter 17 Get Lost in One Minute


    Hendrix?


    Euan held his phone tight gradually, he looked at the view outside the window with no expression, his


    back was straight.


    They did not meet each other for five years, he remembered that the little boy always sought protection


    from him in the past. Now, the little boy grew up and even learnt to intervene in the affair of adults.


    ¡°Keep an eye on him,¡± Euan gave an instruction coolly, he asked Elijah Parker to follow Hendrix¡¯s car.


    He wanted to know what Hendrix intended to do.


    His finger knocked on the surface of the table for a few times and thought whether he should redefine


    his impression on Hendrix.


    Just then, Hendrix drove his car towards the hospital. Riley could recognize the surrounding and


    frowned deeply.


    ¡°Where are you taking me to?¡± Riley¡¯s voice was hoarse, the painfulness of her knee struck her


    nervous system, she could feel the pain gradually and made her frown.


    Hendrix curled his lips, ¡°Riley, have you hurt your brain? Don¡¯t you recognize the route to your working


    ce?¡±


    Riley leaned forwards, ¡°Stop driving! I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital.¡±


    ¡°You are injured, you must go to the hospital to get yourself bandaged. You don¡¯t want yourself to


    be disabled at such a young age, right?¡±


    Euan said with a fast pace, he knew his sister-inw¡¯s temper. He got to knew her stubborn, caprice


    and nopliance in two days. It was impossible for her to obey him.


    ¡°Hendrix! I want to you stop!¡± Riley saw that Hendrix did not stop but elerated his car, she patted his


    back heavily, ¡°Hendrix! Stop driving! Do you understand?¡±


    Hendrix tuned the volume up deliberately and acted exaggeratedly, ¡°Riley, what do you say? Oh no,


    what happened to my ear? I can¡¯t hear you.¡±


    Riley bit her teeth, she did not want to go to the hospital, she did not want others to see her scar and


    wound, especially Hendrix.


    The car parked in front of the hospital, Riley did not want to get down of the car, she stared at Hendrix


    with cold sight, ¡°Hendrix, you better U-turn now!¡±


    Hendrix shrugged his shoulder and intended to lift Riley out of the car. Thetter moved and kept a


    seat distance with him vigntly.


    ¡°Riley, I don¡¯t understand, you¡¯re a famous doctor, you should know that wound must be bandaged


    immediately. Why don¡¯t you understand this simple principle? I suspect that your doctor¡¯s license is


    brought from elsewhere.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m a doctor, I know what kind of wound should be bandaged and what don¡¯t. I am fine, don¡¯t worry, Mr


    George. Please send me back now!¡±


    Hendrix smiled evilly, his brow raised, he looked like a ruffian, ¡°Hey, Riley, you want me to send you


    home directly? It is too direct¡­I¡¯m shy.¡±


    Oh my gosh! Riley got angry by Hendrix¡¯s caddish kind of behaviour. It now seemed like she had no


    choice but to go.


    Hendrix did not wait for Riley to give any response and directly opened his arms and lifted Riley!


    Riley felt that thunder had struck her brain!


    ¡°Hendrix, I am your sister-inw! Let me go! Let go!¡±


    Hendrix looked straight, he was shocked that the woman that struggled in his arm was extremely light.


    Riley did not seem to have much fats and he felt that she was as light as someone who never ate rice


    when he lifted her.


    Hendrix walked up the stairs, said with a serious tone, ¡°Dr Watson, gender is not an issue to a doctor,


    not even the identity.¡±


    Nevertheless, Hendrix curved his lips, he wanted to stick to the woman who looked like a little lion


    when in anger.


    Hendrix had attracted others¡¯ attention when he lifted Riley into the hospital because of his handsome


    face and wild behaviour. Initially, they only looked at Hendrix and lingered his good look.


    Next moment, the medical staffs had recognized the woman in his arms!


    ¡°Oh my God! Is the woman that the handsome guy lifting Riley who works in internal medicine


    department?¡±


    ¡°It is her indeed! Dr Watson! Unbelievable! Does Riley have a boyfriend?¡±


    ¡°Impossible, this handsome guy seems younger than her. I hear that Riley is a problematic woman.


    She always shows a serious face and nobody dares to get closer to her, she is indeed the ¡°Nun Killer¡±


    among the physicians!¡±


    After hearing the word ¡°Nun Killer¡±, Hendrix looked at Riley who showed a purple face. He ignored the


    whisper of the nurses and smiled mischievously, ¡°Sister-inw, your prestige is not bad, your title is


    good as well, ¡°Nun Killer¡±? Wow, so powerful!¡±


    Riley stared at him, ¡°Hendrix, you can either get lost or shut up your mouth!¡±


    ¡°Ok, Ok, ¡°Nun Killer¡± has given an instruction, I dare not disobey you.¡±


    Hendrix was pleased at the moment.


    Inside the emergency room.


    When the doctor saw Riley¡¯s scar of her knee and leg, he stopped moving his hand which held the


    aseptic cotton suddenly, ¡°Dr Watson, it has been two days since you hurt your left knee, right?¡±


    Riley nodded, did not speak a word.


    There were few areas of purple scar found on Riley¡¯s fair leg, ranging from the upper part of her knee


    to her calf. She looked badly hurt, the old wound had not yet recovered and new wound appeared. This


    made her slim leg ugly.


    Hendrix narrowed his eyes, he must punish the scoundrels that made trouble in the hospital by himself!


    The doctor who did the bandage raised his head to look at Hendrix who was frowned while seeing


    Riley¡¯s wound, he joked, ¡°How bad are you to be her boyfriend? Your girlfriend has injured for a few


    days then you only send her to the hospital now.¡±


    ¡°You have misunderstood! He is not¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right, doctor. I will send her to the hospital immediately next time. Sorry about that.¡±


    ¡°You still want it to happen next time? Dude, are you prepared to be broken up by her?¡±


    Riley bit her teeth, ¡°He is not my boyfriend!¡±


    The time froze.


    Hendrix raised his brow and ignored her anger, he was delighted.


    After her wound was bandaged, Riley did not allow Hendrix to get closer to her!


    Firstly, she thought that Hendrix was young so he behaved like this. Now, she knew that Hendrix was


    not as simple as that. ¡°Riley, don¡¯t walk too fast, your wound on your knee will be worsen.¡±


    Riley was furious, she stretched her hand to stop Hendrix from following her, ¡°You stand there! Keep a


    distance from me!¡±


    Hendrix stopped walking after Riley scolded him. Then, he used his sight to measure the distance


    between them and said with a wronged tone, ¡°Riley, there are two to three meters between our


    distance, isn¡¯t that enough?¡±


    Riley ground her teeth, ¡°Your shadow has stepped on my foot!¡±


    Hendrix was speechless. He looked down, his shadow was indeedying on her foot under the


    sunlight. The shadow moved ording to his movement.


    Hendrixughed, ¡°Riley, can you not to be so¡­serious?¡±


    He wanted to say that she was cute but looked at Riley¡¯s expression, Hendrix knew that he would die of


    saying the words.


    ¡°Yes! I have mysophobia!¡±


    After saying the words, Riley walked down the stairs angrily, she did not care about her pain at the


    moment.


    ¡°Riley, please wait for me. I will send you back!¡±


    ¡°No need!¡±


    Hendrix continued to chase after her, ¡°Riley, don¡¯t get angry. You are so fierce that you break my heart.¡±


    ¡°It is great that it breaks.¡±


    Hendrix did not give up. He found that Riley who looked cool and indifferent was not as scary as what


    other people said. In his opinion, this stubborn woman was cute.


    When Hendrix wanted to pull Riley¡¯s arm, a voice was heard¡­


    ¡°Mr George.¡±


    Hendrix and Riley looked up instantly, they saw Elijah stood in front of a ck Bentley. He smiled while


    looked at them. Riley felt like she had been struck by electricity and moved a step forward, kept away


    from Hendrix¡¯s hand.


    Hendrix scratched his hair, ¡°Elijah, why are you here?¡±


    Elijah greeted them and bowed, ¡°I hear that there is a mess in the hospital, the person involved is Mrs


    George. So, Ie here to see what happened.¡±


    Hendrix sneered, ¡°Elijah, your working efficiency is too low. They left already, you are toote to arrive.¡±


    Elijah agreed respectfully, ¡°It¡¯s my fault. Mrs George, please get in the car.¡±


    Riley nodded, ¡°Ok, Elijah, please send me home.¡±


    Hendrix rubbed his nose, ¡°I want to go together.¡±


    Riley said irritably, ¡°You go back to your home, I go back to mine, why are you creating a mess?¡±


    Elijah drove the car, Riley sat at the backseat. She wanted to ask Elijah if Euan asked him toe but


    she did not manage to ask so.


    ¡°Mrs George, we have arrived.¡±


    She was absent-minded on the way, did not realize that they had arrived.


    Elijah helped Riley to get down the car. When she saw the gate of the vi, she bit her lips instinctively.


    ¡°Mrs George, please rest well. Call me if you need me.¡±


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    So, their rtionship was so poor that he only asked his assistant to take care of her?


    Yes, he treated Lydia well, did everything for her by himself and wished that he could fight for her.


    Riley was grieved that she was almost breathless when she thought of the happenings in these three


    years.


    She entered the room and changed her shoes. When she turned her body, she stunned.


    Lydia?!


    Why Lydia was here?


    Lydia wore a yellow dress and sat with crossing legs on the sofa. There was a ss of red wine on the


    table, it had been sipped, the lipstick mark could be seen on the ss.


    When Lydia saw Riley, she crossed her arms andy on the sofa.


    ¡°Good job! Riley!¡±


    Lydia satirized her, her red lip was nt because of contempt. The expression that she looked at Riley


    was like she had caught her husband¡¯s mistress and she was the formal wife.


    Riley snorted and simply threw her bag on the sofa, ¡°You do a good job too! Lydia, you entered other¡¯s


    house without permission!¡±


    Lydiaughed, she swung the red wine on the ss, ¡°I think you are not clear with everything. It is


    uncertain on who is the owner of this house!¡±


    She yed with the key on her hand to show to Riley purposely.


    The familiar keychain belonged to Euan!


    ¡°Ah, this house should have a good hostess to take charge of it. You see, what has it be now?


    Riley, you are the stain in Euan¡¯s life after you marry him!¡±


    Riley¡¯s fingers paled, she leaned against the whatnot to reduce the weight on her leg. She was


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    depressed and felt that her energy had been removed from her body, she wanted to fall heavily¡­


    Euan did not love her, hated her, rejected her, but at least this house belonged to them, no one had


    entered the house in these three years.


    But for now, was herst position in Euan¡¯s heart removed?


    Euan, how much did you hate me?


    Riley felt that her heart was being cut by a knife. Then, she raised her head and faced Lydia with a


    dominant pattern, she smiled, ¡°It¡¯s a pity, you don¡¯t even have the opportunity to be the stain of his


    life, you can only show your power in front of me without shame. Furthermore, Lydia, if you don¡¯t want


    me to reveal the bad thing that you did before, please get lost from my house in one


    minute!¡±

 Chapter 18 Punch Here, Punch Hard

    Chapter 18 Punch Here, Punch Hard


    "Riley, you think you''re clean and noble? Don''t think I don''t know what you did to Euan three years ago!


    Euan is so disgusted with you that he won''t even touch you. He''d rathere to me when he wants to


    have sex ..."


    Before Lydia could say anything, Riley pped her hard across the face! With all her strength, she


    Lydia''s head was spinning from the p. Her beautiful oval face was tilted to the side, and her pale


    cheeks were covered in bright red fingerprints. Lydia, who was hailed by the media as the most


    beautiful woman in Asia, had her face broken by Riley.


    "Riley, you dare hit me?" Lydia covered her face and stared into her eyes. She bit her red lip, and her


    harsh, bloodthirsty eyes wereshing Riley silently.


    But she was still smiling slightly, "Lydia, do you think I''m stupid, or are you deliberately insulting Euan''s


    aesthetic and taste? You ..." Riley looked Lydia over with disdain, "What makes you worthy of him? He


    sex, or are you trying to tell me that the only thing you have to offer him is a few minutes in bed?"


    Lydia nched at Riley''sment. She covered her red, swollen, hot face. The way she was holding


    back tears from the severe pain was endearing.


    How many times had she lied to her with that sad look! How many times!


    "Riley, have you had enough hitting? If you haven''t hit enough, hit it right here! Hit it hard!"


    Lydia grabbed Riley''s hand and pressed it against her belly. She smiled harshly, as if she were a ghost,


    "Hit me!"


    Riley''s eyes shed with surprise. She couldn''t help but look down at her belly. Her t belly showed


    nothing out of the ordinary. But the smugness in Lydia''s eyes made her perceive a deep unease.


    "What''s gotten into you!"


    Riley pulled his hand out with a sullen face.


    Lydia touched her belly with one hand and massaged it gently over and over again, "It was those few


    minutes you looked down on that I could have conceived Euan''s child. And you ..." She looked down


    and stopped at her belly, "You haven''t gotten pregnant once in three years. Oh, it turns out there are


    really old hens that don''ty eggs."


    Euan''s baby?


    Riley suddenly felt like she was suffering a thunderstorm. She felt the world spinning in front of her as


    Lydia''s smile grew smug and wild. The venom hidden in her provocative eyes wanted to smother her to


    death.


    Riley reached up and held the back of her chair as her eyes went ck. How could ... Euan have


    allowed Lydia to be pregnant?


    Seeing Riley''s reaction, the little unease Lydia had left just then was swept away. ¡®Riley, you really do


    have weakness!¡¯


    She slowly opened her bag, pulled out some papers from it, and pped them on the table. She


    wrapped her slim arms around her chest and looked down at Riley proudly, "Dr. Watson, it''s the


    OB/GYN tests. You can read them, can''t you?"


    Riley saw that JD Central Hospital was written at the top of the test results.


    The test results clearly showed that Lydia was four weeks pregnant ...


    The look on Riley''s face when she saw the test results was one that Lydia was pleased with.


    She walked extremely slowly to Riley''s side, then as she staggered away from her, she whispered in


    her ear, "Bitch, I''ll get this p back today. What you owe me, I''ll get it all back."


    "And here ... whether the hostess will still be you in ten months, huh, you''d better burn incense and


    kowtow every day from now on and ask for blessings!"


    Until the door to the vi was closed, until Lydia hadpletely walked out of the vi area, until the


    sound of the car leaving hadpletely disappeared, Riley remained in the same position she had just


    been in and didn''t move.


    How could Lydia be pregnant?


    How could Euan do this!


    And at that moment, Lydia''s limousine pulled up.


    She dialed a number, and looked fiercely at her red, swollen face in the mirror, then she gritted her


    teeth and smiled coldly.


    "Lydia, you have a scene this afternoon. Why aren''t you back yet?"


    "Sia, send out an announcement for me. The more sensational, the better, and the more people who


    know about it, the better. Also, make sure to create the effect that this is not something I''ve voluntarily


    exposed."


    "What do you want? What''s happening? My God, you are now a popr first-tier star in the country.


    How many pairs of eyes are watching you! You could just blow up the whole Weibo by simply posting a


    selfie."


    Lydia tapped her crystal nails on the steering wheel, "No, that''s not enough. I want a national


    sensation! I don''t want to wait any longer. This time, I''m going to get him!"


    "You mean, Euan?"


    "Yes! Sia, I''ll meet you in front of the Hilton Hotel in ten minutes. Remember who I am now, I''m a


    pregnant woman and I''m carrying Euan''s baby."


    "What! Lydia, what are you saying! You''re pregnant with Euan''s baby? He doesn''t like you at all ... Are


    you really pregnant? Is the father of the baby really Euan?"


    Lydia rubbed her belly. She also didn''t know who the father of the child was. Everything that happened


    that night was so confusing. The director, the producer, and several of the main actors were drinking


    together and everyone ended up getting drunk. When she woke up, several unclothed men and women


    were lying around her.


    The following month, her period was dyed. It was only when she went to the hospital for a check-up


    that she found out she was pregnant.


    But ... Lydia narrowed her eyes fiercely. This baby hade at a good time!


    Lydia sneered, "Sia, does it matter who the father of the baby is? It doesn''t matter who it is, from now


    on, the father of the child is him and must be him! You remember that clearly! I am pregnant with


    Euan''s child. I don''t need to tell you what to do with the rest, do I?"


    "But, in case Euan finds out about this..."


    "Sia, don''t forget who you are. Your duty is to defend me. I''m not consulting you or asking for your


    opinion."


    "Okay ... I''ll go and arrange it right away. Just don''t make a mistake."


    Hanging up the phone, the corner of Lydia''s mouth curled as she looked ahead and her fingers


    clenched into fists. ¡°Riley, you''re fighting me? Well, let''s see who lives and who dies!¡±


    Riley hadn''t been pregnant all these years. Now that she was pregnant with the eldest child of ''the


    George family'', and Jakub and Anika''s attitude towards her was bound to change.


    ¡°Huh, Riley, who are you? It won''t be long before you''re out of the George family and out of Euan''s life


    forever.¡±


    At this moment, in the office of the president on the top floor of the MBK Building.


    Elijah stood in front of Euan''s desk, reporting what he had seen with his own eyes, and silently waiting


    for his boss to say something.


    Euan flipped through a few pages of documents and signed his name quickly. Then he lifted the coffee


    cup close to his hand and took a sip, letting the aroma of the coffee disperse in his mouth.


    "Looks like it''s time to give him a heads-up."


    The man''s dark eyes burst with a cold, chilling light.


    Elijah nodded, "Boss, Hendrix is still at a yful age and probably doesn''t have any other intentions. I


    don''t think it''s necessary for now."


    Euan gave him a look and Elijah didn''t dare say anything else.


    Then Euan said, "Lydia is at YJ Vi."


    "What? BOSS, you ... actually let Ms. Saunders go to the vi?!" Elijah''s heart nearly flew out of his


    chest! So, the red Ferrari he saw when he dropped her off was Lydia''s?


    Euan nced at him, "You''ve been with me for so long, and you still fuss when things go wrong."


    Elijah swallowed hard, "No ... Boss, do you desire to stir up troubles? You let Mrs. George and Ms.


    Saunders go head to head. You don''t want the house anymore, do you?"


    Oh, God! The two of them together could make a hole in the sky!


    BOSS, you''re too inconsiderate.


    Euan put down his coffee cup and slowly opened another file, "She''s openly cuddling with her brother-


    inw. I asked Lydia to give her a heads-up, why not?"


    Elijah couldn''t say a word as he choked on Euan¡¯s words. BOSS, your logic is so strong.


    "Ahem, BOSS, would that be a bit too vicious? Mrs. George is badly wounded. In case they get into a


    fight, it won''t do Mrs. George any good." Elijah couldn''t help but hold his forehead.


    Euan said in an offhand manner, "Since she had the ability to make mistakes, she had to suffer the


    consequences."


    Besides, with Riley''s personality, would she allow herself to be disadvantaged? He didn''t believe it.


    Elijah didn''t dare nod, but instead said with anxiety, "BOSS, how about I call and askter? Don''t really


    let them get into a fight."


    Euan looked at him with cold eyes, "What are you in such a hurry for?"


    Elijah gasped, "No ... well, she is your wife, this ..."


    Euan dropped the paper, "If she still remembered she was my wife, she wouldn''t ..." Euan was furious,


    but he held back from losing his temper and instead waved his hand impatiently, "Get out."


    "Yes, BOSS. You''d better go check it outter."


    A few hourster.


    "Latest news. Lydia, one of the top stars of the moment, was mobbed by journalists today as she


    entered an upscale hotel with her agent. Lydia''s agent was in a hurry to reveal that Lydia was pregnant


    and tried to stop the frantic press. Is it true or not?"


    "Lydia is pregnant and her agent reveals the news by ident!"


    "Lydia puts aside her new y that she is shooting and tantly misses her appointment with the


    director. And the truth is that she''s pregnant!"


    "After three years of dating off and on with Euan, the CEO of MBK International Corporation, Lydia has


    finally made it to the top! Now that Lydia is pregnant with Mr. George''s baby, can she officially enter the


    George family?"


    "Lydia''s pregnancy has been confirmed by the hospital! ording to insiders, Lydia went to JD Central


    Hospital''s OB/GYN department for a pregnancy test not long ago and confirmed her pregnancy!"


    The news of Lydia''s pregnancy was all over the inte and became the number one trending topic on


    the inte at an rming rate, making it the most popr topic on Weibo at the moment!


    Lydia was pregnant, Lydia and Euan were expecting a baby, Euan was bing a father ...


    The news swept through all the websites with unstoppable force, and Lydia and Euan''s names were


    searched and clicked on for over 100 million hits in less than half an hour.


    "BOSS, something''s happened! Turn on yourputer and watch the news right now!"


    Elijah''s voice was hoarse. He pushed open the door to the president''s office and shouted a loud hiss,


    ignoring Euan''s look of disgust.


    Euan stared at him coldly, "What''s wrong?"


    Elijah was spinning in ce in a frenzy. He was anxious, angry, and frantic, "BOSS, you ... you ... see


    for yourself!"


    He wanted to say, "How can you make such cheap mistakes that ordinary men make! You are Mr.


    George! You are my BOSS!


    Euan slid the mouse impatiently and nced at the news that dominated the entire screen. The


    apanying picture showed Lydia wearing an oversized mask, a duck-tongue hat, and being


    escorted by Sia through the hotel doors.


    The eye-catching title was quite unpleasant to the eye.


    "Lydia Is Pregnant: Marriage to the George family is just around the corner!"


    "Pregnant with Euan''s baby, but too afraid to admit it, Lydia is ''carrying the weight'' of love."


    Euan''s clean, slender fingers tapped his forehead, "Pregnant?"


    Seeing his unhurried look, Elijah almost cried, "BOSS, just stop being so calm! The press is jammed up


    downstairs! You ... my goodness! You''re a celebrity now! Oh my god, BOSS!"


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    Euan tapped his long fingers on the desk in an unhurried rhythm, "Contact Lydia."


    "You''re not going to see her now, are you? If you go see her, her pregnancy will be confirmed and so


    will the fact that you''re the father!"


    ¡®BOSS, don''t be stupid!¡¯


    Euan raised his eyebrows, "What? You''re not congratting me on bing a father?"

 Chapter 19 Wanna Marry Into The Family, In Your Dreams

    Chapter 19 Wanna Marry Into The Family, In Your Dreams


    Elijah''s legs were shaking after hearing Euan''s words, "BOSS, don''t you understand the situation now?


    All the media are focusing on you and Miss Saunders. The news of Miss Saunders'' pregnancy has


    already been published, and it is the top 1 search on Weibo, all of China is watching."


    All of China?


    What about her? What was her reaction?


    Euan George held his phone and looked at the screen with unpredictable eyes. It was hard for people


    to know what he was looking at.


    "Go back to YJ Vi."


    After that, Euan got up and took the Armani handmade jacket on the hanger. He casually put it on, then


    faintly scroll over the phone screen, and the corners of his mouth rose.


    Elijah felt his heart trembling, "BOSS, do you... want to reconsider? Now, Mrs. George is in the vi.


    She has probably heard of the news."


    Even if the two women together just now did not fight that serious, but if BOSS goes over now, that


    might cause an dead end.


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    The back of Euan seemed undeniable, and he gave a reply to Elijah.


    The BOSS gave the order, Elijah would not dare not to follow it. He had to let Victor Matthews prepare


    the car.


    "You stay at thepany." Elijah was just about to follow along but was stopped by Euan.


    Elijah took a sigh of relief, it was fortunate that he didn''t have to go! It was lucky that he didn''t have to


    sacrifice! The boss was merciful.


    When Euan got into the car, his cell phone rang. He thought the enraged Riley Watson called, but


    when he saw the number, his brow furrowed.


    "Dad."


    "Euan! What have you done!"


    There was a loud "pop" on the other side of the phone call. It was the sound of something hitting the


    table. Jakub George must have seen the news.


    Euan wrinkled his brow, "did dad see the news too? Now it seems that I do not need to exin."


    "Come home now!"


    Jakub sounded angry across the phone, and he wanted to choke his son too.


    Euan looked at the watch on his wrist and frowned, "Now?"


    "When else do you want? I give you half an hour,e home now!"


    After he said that, Jakud smacked the phone on the table.


    Victor timidly look at Euan''s gloomy face and asked in a low voice, "BOSS, where to go now?"


    "The George''s Mansion."


    ¡­


    At the YJ Vi, Riley unpacked the daily necessities she bought and put them in order. The bathroom,


    which was initially empty, now had two bath towels, one blue and one white, and two small towels


    hanging side by side.


    Two porcin cups of the same type and color were put side by side at the ss sink. Two


    toothbrushes were ced in the two cups, and she looked dumbly at the washing tools. The corners of


    her mouth overflowed with a bitter smile.


    He thought to herself that the things that were ced wouldn''t be used by Euan at all.


    It''s also true that it was meant to be an act for Euan to see. Could she expect him toe over and


    use it?


    It could only happen in her dreams.


    The bathroom was tidied up, and simple ingredients were ced in a conspicuous ce in the kitchen


    to create the illusion that the kitchen was being used.


    After doing this, Riley sat on the sofa in frustration and dazed off.


    She had been tidying all over the ce for half a day and suddenly thought of what Lydia Saunders


    said and saw the medical diagnosis she had ced there.


    Her heart was full of pain.


    "My happiness, it will return..."


    The cell phone ringing broke the silence of therge vi.


    Riley was awakened by the ringing and returned to her senses.


    An unfamiliar number appeared on the screen, and she didn''t even think about hanging up.


    She dropped the phone and walked to the sink. She let the cool water wash over her hands and looked


    at the mirror. Her face looked terrible due to excessive sadness, and she looked at herself in the mirror


    in silence for a long time.


    Riley talked to herself, "What are you still expecting? The two of them are going to be together? What


    else do you have to hope for? Don''t be silly, Riley, don''t be silly! Instead of getting humiliated, be smart


    and walk away without being some."


    The phone rang for the third time. Riley closed her eyes and turned off the tap. She impatiently picked


    up the phone.


    "Sweetie, are you okay! I thought you havemitted suicide! Damn, don''t scare me!"


    The phone call had just been connected, and the other end sounded with a familiar voice, but she


    really couldn''t recognize it.


    "Damn, you didn''t get triggered by that Lydia bitch, right?"


    Melissa Taylor? Wasn''t she in France? And she recently said she had to take an important exam and


    hadn''t shown up for two months.


    "I think it''s you who''s triggered." Riley was in a bad mood, and her voice was wilted.


    Milissa yelled at the phone, "Sweetie, why do you have to be that surprising? I just came back from


    abroad, and you gave me such a big gift! I almost got a heart attack! If I''m hospitalized, you''ll have to


    be my primary care doctor!"


    "What are you talking about? What gift? "Riley suspiciously listened to Melissa, who was noisy. Why


    had Melissa been more and more unreliable after studying abroad for more than a year?


    "Don''t tell me you didn''t see the news! Now the whole inte has exploded, your stubborn love rival,


    the woman, named Lydia, when did she get pregnant? And the media even said it was Euan''s child


    without any evidence! Damn!"


    Riley frowned, "How did you know?"


    "Are you okay? Everyone knows about it, turn on the TV and take a look!"


    TV?


    Riley searched for a long time before finding the remote control. The TV at home was installed before


    the wedding, she had never seen it once, and she couldn''t operate those high-tech products bought by


    Euan.


    The disy screen, which upied a quarter of the wall, showed Lydia and Euan''s photos together.


    The title was Lydia got pregnant, and that Euan was the biological father of the child. The affair of 3


    years was exposed...


    Riley tightened her fist and was dumbfounded.


    "Sweetie, what''s wrong with you? Say something! Say something!"


    Riley turned off the TV, "Saw it."


    Melissa swallowed her saliva, "Sweetie, listen to me, someone like Euan is not reliable. You''d better


    divorce him! He doesn''t treat you like his wife, and now he''s having an affair with that bitch! Holy shit!"


    Rileyughed, "Divorce, of course, I want to divorce, but Lydia openly expose the pregnancy to the


    media. She humiliated me. Can I just let her go this easily? If she wants to ruin me, she has to prepare


    herself for the worst too."


    Riley gritted. She thought to herself, three years of open and secretly fighting, was Lydia not tired of it?


    She was sick of it.


    "Great! Sweetie, you''re the best! But, my dear, today I just returned to the country, there is a big party


    to wee me in the evening, will not mind appearing in it?"


    Melissa guessed that the seemingly pugnacious and domineering Riley must be in a very


    ufortable mood right now, and if she didn''t bring her out to get some fresh air, Riley wouldn''t be


    able to hold it in.


    "Your party, of course, I will be there."


    "That''s great! Remember to dress up beautifully tonight. Tonight''s attendance are all beautiful and


    handsome, and I guarantee that there are models you like. Just leave that stubborn Euan to that


    asshole, Lydia."


    Riley skimmed his thin lips, "Do I still need to dress up?"


    "Yes, yes, Dr. Watson is naturally beautiful. Just wearing a white coat can make a uniform seduction.


    Come on, baby! I''m waiting for you!"


    After hanging up the phone, Riley went upstairs and rummaged through the closet and finally found a


    satisfactory dress.


    ¡®Euan, congrattions on the birth of your son!¡¯


    ¡®In the future, we are no longer rted!¡¯


    In Jakub''s study room in the George Mansion.


    Jakub threw the newspaper onto his son, and his face was red with anger, "exin to me clearly, what


    is going on?"


    Euan lowered his eyes to see the front-page headline of the newspaper that fell on the ground. The


    picture of him and Lydia embracing each other was erged and took up one-half of the page.


    "Things are too sudden. I haven''t started to investigate."


    Euan''s pair of eyes was slightly narrowed.


    A coldness swept through Jakub''s scheming eyes, "If the reporters know that you are already married,


    it will be an affair within marriage! The consequences this matter leads to, can you afford it?"


    As the scolding in the study room continues, Anika Gill couldn''t sit still. She got up and went to the


    second floor. She entered the door and saw the red-faced Jakub, and said in a gentle and calm voice,


    "I don''t think Euan has done anything wrong, Riley has been in the house for three years and has done


    nothing, while Lydia is striving to give birth to a son and a daughter for the George family. It would be


    great if Lydia gave birth to a son or daughter to the George family. Besides, Lydia is well educated,


    will be the first one to be chosen."


    Jakub gave a stifled snort, "Short-sighted! What do you know?"


    Anika was not in a hurry. She picked up the newspaper and held it in her hand to look at it. She felt like


    the two standing together looked pleasing to her eyes.


    "I do not understand, but I at least know, the dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to


    the phoenix. Euan''s doing this, who did he inherit?"


    Anika used just a few words, and she easily triggered Jakub, "You are not allowed to mention this


    matter again!"


    Anika coldly snorted softly, "Euan, since Lydia is already pregnant with your child, you must take up the


    responsibility of a man, give her a title, give the child a title."


    Euan''s heavy eyes froze, "A title? What does mom want me to give her?"


    He asked rhetorically.


    "Of course, I want her to marry into the George family! I won''t let the George family''s children stray


    away, and what''s more, what do you want to do with Riley staying around? You want her to add bad


    luck to the family?"


    Euan did not move and surged up with anger, "Impossible."


    Jakub was furious and mmed the documents on the bookcase onto the floor, "You deal with the


    problem you made up yourself! If MBK''s stock fluctuates because of this, I will not spare you lightly."


    Anika saw that Jakub had brought out the corporation, so she followed his words and said, "Euan, why


    don''t you go out? Figure out how to deal with it."


    Euan looked at Jakub lightly, "Dad, you''re letting Hendrixe back to China, just to remind me at all


    times, right?"


    "You still want to talk? Get out!" Anika was afraid that her son''s temper would make a bigger fuse, so


    she forced him to get out of the room.


    Euan went downstairs and saw Hendrix George standing in the living room. He must have heard the


    conversation just now.


    Hendrix tilted his head to see his big brother''s expression and shrugged his shoulders, "Big brother, I


    came back, not topete with you for the family assets."


    Euan fished up the car keys and stepped outside, "You want topete for my woman, right?


    Hendrix."


    Hearing his big brother''s cold, bone-chilling voice, Hendrix''s breath jerked, "Brother, I didn''t..."


    "No need to exin, show me."

 Chapter 20 You Are Forcing Me to Commit Crime

    Chapter 20 You Are Forcing Me to Commit Crime


    Neon lights shed within the Royal Club, addingyers of color to the night sky.


    With the wound on her leg, Riley chose to wear a pair of silver studded and golden-tipped sneakers,


    with a ck skirt to cover the heel of her leg.


    Riley was tall and stood out amongst girls even if she didn¡¯t wear high heels. Normally, she didn¡¯t apply


    makeup, but tonight, she applied a light makeup and put down her long hair, instantly turning her into


    an elegant beauty.


    The main lobby of the Royal Entertainment Center was filled with attractive women. Before she


    stepped foot into the lobby, Riley caught sight of Sarah in her bright red dress.


    Sarah had a petite figure and wore a gown as red as fire. With her thin arms and legs, she tried to


    make her breast appear more ample and full. Her short hair was down by her ears, and donned on


    heavy makeup. Even though it¡¯s been a year since Rileyst saw her, Sarah¡¯s every action, posture,


    and seductive eyes oozed a sense of flirtation.


    Sarah¡¯s father owned a listedpany in Kyoto. She herself was a fashion designer with a bit of


    reputation in the industry. She won various recognitions from her recent Mn fashion week


    Her family wasn¡¯t rich, but her social circle had quite a lot of rich folks, making her celebration party


    quite lively and high-end.


    Looking at how sexy her friend was on the dance floor, Riley thought to herself, is this gal try to reel in a


    boyfriend? Probably was, since she was at a proper age already, wasn¡¯t trying to get married her top


    priority?


    To avoid cutting in to Sarah¡¯s conversation with some handsome men, Riley found a ce to sit and sip


    red wine. She suddenly felt bored and that she didn¡¯t enjoy this kind of party at all.


    She wanted to wait for a time to slip away, but then her cell rang.


    The caller ID said ¡°Euan¡±, and Riley felt her heart wrench together so hard that she almost stopped


    breathing!


    She bit her lip, balled her hand into a fist, and took a deep breath, then answered the call.


    "Where are you?"


    Without even awaiting Riley to calm her breathing, Euan already threw a simple question at her on the


    other end of the phone, which caused her to panic.


    Hearing the noisy background from her end, Euan tightened his eyebrows; just where was this woman?


    ¡°I¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to lie, speak the truth. If you lie, you wouldn¡¯t be able to afford the consequences.¡±


    Before Riley could even think of an excuse, Euan was already attacking her.


    His approach made her unable toe up with anything under pressure.


    Riley bit her lip and told him the truth.


    She thought Euan would have followed up with something, but all he did was hung up the call.


    Staring at her nk cellphone screen, Riley felt a pang in her chest, was that it? This wasn¡¯t Euan¡¯s


    typical style. Well, he had Lydia to worry about now, so why would he bother with her?


    As she mulled over these thoughts, Riley emptied the wine in her ss and rubbed her aching knees.


    A huge crowd gathered on the dance floor, dancing and waving their arms wildly.


    ...


    When he arrived at the YJ Vi, Euan found the ce empty; Riley was nowhere to be found.


    As he stood in the main hall, Euan could still smell a trace of Riley¡¯s fragrance. But the second he tried


    to pinpoint it, it vanished.


    Just as he was about to leave, he caught sight of the remote control on the ss table. She had turned


    on the TV, so she must have seen the news about him and Lydia.


    He thought that he would be able to see her at home tonight, but he didn¡¯t expect that she still had the


    mood to would run off and attend a friend¡¯s party.


    As he was thinking of this, his cell rang.


    His eyes narrowed, it was Lydia calling.


    ¡°Euan, did you see the news?¡±


    Lydia thought that Euan would call her as soon as he saw the news, but after waiting for a while, he


    never did. She couldn¡¯t wait any longer, and, against her manager¡¯s wishes, called Euan.


    Could it be that he wasn¡¯t fazed by the news at all? She could not believe that was the case!


    Euan picked up the call with a frown, ¡°So?¡±


    Lydia sounded as if she was on the brink of tears, ¡°Euan, I didn¡¯t think that the paparazzi would be this


    keen on my pregnancy; I didn¡¯t even have the time to tell you yet. It¡¯s true, Euan, I¡¯m pregnant with your


    baby, four weeks now. Are you happy? ¡±


    Oh?


    "Are you certain?"


    Euan threw a rhetorical question as a reply.


    Even if Lydia said she¡¯s pregnant, but as far as Euan recalled, he wasn¡¯t involved. Did he forget? Or


    was someone pulling strings?


    Hmph! Pregnant? If someone was trying to y him for a fool, then they are surely ying with fire.


    Wasn¡¯t that person afraid of getting burnt?


    Lydia smiled, afraid that he would sense something amiss from her tone, ¡°Of course I¡¯m sure, the


    hospital even has the records, I¡¯m pregnant. You¡¯re the only man I¡¯m with; you wouldn¡¯t have doubts


    about me fooling around, would you?¡±


    Lydia was afraid that he would discover the truth, but at this point, she could only go down this path!


    Euan crooked his lips and said, ¡°Got it.¡±


    Lydia opened her mouth to say, ¡°Euan, when are you free toe visit me and the baby?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m busy, call youter.¡±


    Holding the phone, Lydia was filled with hopes, ¡°Euan, I miss you¡­¡±


    ¡°Got it.¡±


    ¡­


    The balcony was filled with various sweets and drinks, but there wasn¡¯t many people. The cool breeze


    in the night blew by, as if to sweep away any thoughts and worries.


    Riley inattentively ate a serving of dessert. She couldn¡¯t even tell whether it was sweet or bitter in her


    mouth.


    She was a lonely individual feeling alone; inside was a bunch of lonely people gathered to party. So this


    was it.


    She thought that by attending this party full of life, she could hide her loneliness and uneasiness. But


    the party, even with its grand dance floor, music on full st, and tons of swaying men and women,


    was unable to suppress the turmoil inside her.


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    She missed Euan a lot. Whenever she was by herself, thoughts of him would stifle the air around her,


    until they took over every part of her body.


    But where was he? Home with some woman? Maybe in Lydia¡¯s arms?


    Bzzz bzzz bzzz.


    As she was lost in thought, her cell rang again. Riley looked at the caller and frowned. Why was Lydia


    calling her?


    ¡°What do you want?¡± Riley said in a stern tone, without a hint of emotion.


    Lydia sat on a luxurious sofa, feeling high and mighty like a winner. She heard the background music


    from Riley¡¯s end and sneered, ¡°Riley, all alone, off at some club? If you¡¯re really feeling lonely, there are


    plenty of young men, you can easily hook up with one to help warm your bed. Besides, your


    engagement with Euan is off. It must have been tough to always be waiting on your husband¡¯s return. I


    can really sympathize with you.¡±


    Her taunts cut through the night and felt as if they pierced directly into Riley¡¯s heart and skin. She


    wasn¡¯t strong enough to be unfazed by these words. Tears began to swell in her eyes, and a fire


    seemed to rage within her heart. Riley could no longer tell whether she felt wronged or angry.


    ¡°Compared to you, someone who¡¯s pregnant and isn¡¯t even married yet, who can only look at another


    woman¡¯s name on the marriage certificate. Hah! You sold your body just to try and keep a man. Now,


    he barely bothers to care about you. It must feel awful to be a single mother?¡±


    Riley stared at her wine ss, whose reflection seemed to show a glimmer in her eyes. It must be the


    bright lights, or she might have thought she was crying.


    Crying? Was there even anyone worth her crying over?


    ¡°Oh Riley, don¡¯t try and anger me! Hehe, let¡¯s wait and see. Euan will being to my ce tonight,


    and every night after that. As for you, just cry by your lonesome self in your home! Oh, just to remind


    you, hurry up and divorce and get out the George Family. You¡¯re still young, maybe you¡¯ll find another


    man. In another year or two, when you¡¯re old, it won¡¯t be so easy¡­¡±


    Beep!


    Refusing to continue listening to Lydia speak rubbish, Riley hung up the phone.


    She looked up and downed her ss in one gulp. The wine was taking effect inside her; Riley¡¯s sight


    began to get blurry. Tonight¡­ Every night after¡­


    Damn, it was just one ss of wine; was she getting drunk?


    As she rubbed her pulsating temples, Riley grabbed a ss of water and took a huge gulp-


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    It wasn¡¯t water, but hard liquor!


    Riley started to feel the tip of her tongue numbed by the liquor. The liquor which she just drank down


    then all came back up again, as she spewed it out-


    Every drop seemed to hit the man sitting across from her.

 Chapter 21 To Touch his Woman Means to Court Death

    Chapter 21 To Touch his Woman Means to Court Death


    Rileyughed coldly and her crimson lips slowly curled up, ¡°I am afraid that you might not have the


    guts.¡±


    ¡°You are speaking big words I see! In the whole of JD City, there isn¡¯t a woman I don¡¯t dare to touch


    yet.¡±


    It turned out that this man was one of the four young masters of JD City. In the past, Riley only heard


    about this name from her unbing sister, and from Freya¡¯s tone, she could sense that her sister


    was fond of this useless young master. She didn¡¯t expect that this yboy was the heir to the W&K


    Corporation.


    He was a young master from the Cornell family who only had looks, and deep down he was simply a


    useless child who only knew how to squander the family¡¯s fortune away.


    He was one of the dominant figures in JD City but he was notorious for his controversial antics.


    It was his fortune and it was also sheer coincidence that he could meet Riley.


    His lips were spraying hot, warm breath on her ears, and his indecent hands almost ran themselves


    over the back of her hands.


    ¡°I advise you to get as far away from me as possible. Or else, I am afraid that you will meet an untimely


    death without even knowing that it ising.¡± Riley¡¯s tone was casual when she said this. It didn¡¯t even


    feel like a threat.


    ¡°Oh, you are threatening me now, beauty? I am so afraid! Come, you can touch my chest to feel my


    heartbeat. It is pounding so furiously that it almost jumps out of my ribcage. If that happens, you need


    to be responsible.¡±


    Riley lifted the corner of her mouth and retorted, ¡°Remove your hands now! If you get closer to me any


    more than you already are, I won¡¯t hold back anymore.¡±


    The man¡¯s long arms suddenly trapped Riley between his body and the wine rack, which caused her to


    have little space to move around. His sparkling eyes were staring down on Riley as he began, ¡°I am


    very curious about your threat. What are you going to do to me? You can do anything you want with


    me, and I won¡¯t fight back. How does that sound like?¡±


    Riley¡¯s slender fingers were taut because she had been mustering strength.


    Go to hell! You perverted ghost!


    ¡°nk!¡±


    However, the next second, Riley was stunned. Her knees were being held by that man¡¯s huge palms,


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    and she couldn¡¯t believe her attack didn¡¯t connect!


    Due to her excessive strength, her whole body was now leaning against his huge frame!


    His huge palms were sping her pale thighs, and it was perched against his waist in an intimate


    posture. He was looking into her anxious face hungrily, ¡°Beauty, I like the way you are throwing yourself


    at me. It¡¯s unique.¡±


    It had been a while since she had exercised her fists. Things didn¡¯t look good right now!


    Not far away, Euan slowly emerged from the pitch-ck darkness, and he stopped short in his tracks


    the moment he saw the two of them ¡°hugging¡± each other. The expression on his face instantly became


    darkened and chilly as if the coldness could freeze the world over! His eyes were like a pair of sharp


    des or a series of deadly bullets!


    After getting a call from Riley, Euan immediately ordered Victor to drive him to the Royal Club, and not


    long after he stepped out of his car, heid eyes on such a scene.


    Great, this was great!


    ¡°Sir, what can I do for you?¡±


    Victor had been by Euan¡¯s side for many years, and he was able to decipher what was happening in


    front of their eyes. He obediently waited for his next orders.


    ¡°Tell Mr. Cornell that perhaps he didn¡¯t have much time to educate his son, so I will do that on his


    behalf. Bring me away now!¡±


    He dished out an irrefutable order, which prompted Victor to answer, ¡°Roger!¡±


    Riley suddenly felt the grip on her hand disappear, and the next second, she was enveloped in a cold


    embrace.


    The man who was trapping Riley couldn¡¯t make out who had grabbed his wrist before hearing a cold


    and unfamiliar voice, ¡°Mr. Cornell, our boss wants to have a word with you.¡±


    Riley felt her heart start to pound faster, and after raising her head, she saw Euan who was just inches


    away. In his unfathomable eyes, there was a murderous gaze. It felt like he was going to strangle her to


    death in the next instant.


    Riley felt a cold shudder run through her spine, as if a venomous snake was slithering on her back. The


    master-and-servant tandem looked motionless, but in fact¡­


    In no time, Riley heard a heartrending screaming from afar, as if something on his body had been


    broken.


    Was one of the four young masters of JD City meeting his end today?


    All of a sudden, everything descended into silence, and in the midst of this nothingness, Euan stared at


    the woman in his arms, and Riley was shivering because of his stern re.


    ¡°That man is not here anymore. Please let me go.¡±


    Riley wriggled around in his arms with uneasiness, but she found it impossible to pry herself free from


    his embrace. Her skin which was exposed to the cold wind actually felt chilly, but the part of her body


    pressed onto him felt scorching, and this contrast made her feel nervous with her heart racing silently.


    ¡°How many men have you hooked up with behind my back?¡±


    Euan¡¯s words sounded like a punch which connected with Riley¡¯s head!


    Hook up? He misinterpreted the situation as her hooking up with that guy?


    ¡°Just now¡­¡±


    Riley just wanted to exin, but all of a sudden he clutched her neck!


    His eyes were raging with a me of fury, and his other hand was holding a gold colour room card,


    ¡°How are you going to exin this?¡±


    Room card? Did it happen to get inserted just now?


    With a loud mming sound, Riley hurled the room card angrily onto the ground. The card rebounded


    for a few times before finally settling on the ground.


    ¡°I see that you have even booked a room! How much longing do you have for men? Hmm?¡±


    Riley let out a muffled cough as she found herself hard to breathe normally with his hand grabbing her


    neck. Her eyes widened in fear as she found herself slowly getting suffocated!


    Euan was still increasing the strength in his hand as he strangled her. He wouldn¡¯t be able to vent his


    anger if he didn¡¯t torture her and make her suffer now!


    ¡°If you want men that much, I will give myself to you!¡±


    Euan¡¯s huge hands were already tugging at her torn evening dress. His steel-like fingers started to tear


    at the fabric¡ª


    The thin evening dress that covered her voluptuous body split into two after being torn by him!


    ¡°Show me!¡±


    Euan pushed the almost naked woman and caused her back to smash into the cobblestone. That


    sharp pain felt to her like her bones were cracking all over.


    ¡°Euan, don¡¯t¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t do it here and now.


    ¡°Who are you putting on this lowly act for?¡±


    Euan¡¯s bloodshot eyes met her gaze as the scene for earlier on shed through her mind. Euan¡¯s veins


    were bulging even now!


    This woman who only knew how to fool around, what did she still want?


    ¡°Euan, let go of your hand. Let go of me now!¡± Riley swiped at her hand in order to break herself free


    from his grasp, but unfortunately his strength which was fuelled by anger was far more formidable than


    she had thought!


    ¡°Since you don¡¯t have reservations on men, let me fulfil your wish!¡±

 Chapter 22 I’m Just Bringing My Wife Home, How Is That Breaking the Law?

    Chapter 22 I¡¯m Just Bringing My Wife Home, How Is That Breaking the Law?


    She held on to thest vestiges of her strength and pushed back against Euan¡¯s chest. Amongst the


    flowery fragrance which was permeating in the night air, the man¡¯s ck coat was covering two


    ovepping figures. Euan used one hand to prop himself up against the floor so that his body wouldn¡¯t


    crush her underneath. The sharp tips and edges of the cobblestone pierced into his palm, which sent


    shockwaves of pain throughout his body.


    ¡°You would rather satisfy other men to fulfil your own lust inparison to satisfying your own


    husband? Riley, tell me, do you still know who you really are?¡±


    Euan was still immersed in extreme fury, and his searching gaze caught a hint of her avoiding gaze. He


    wanted to see a look of repentance in her eyes, but that was not what he saw. Instead, the woman


    underneath him averted her face away from him in an attempt to dodge his searching gaze.


    Riley felt like her heart was dripping blood. It felt even more painful than the pain prickling her back.


    Satisfy other men? It turned out that in Euan¡¯s eyes, she was such a promiscuous person. In the past


    three years, there was never a shortage of women who came and went by his side, and all the time she


    was very obedient and never fooled around with men. Yet, she was beingbelled as a promiscuous


    woman after all of her efforts.


    Enough. There was no need for her to endure such humiliation anymore since she had long reached


    her limits.


    ¡°Since Mr. George thinks of me as such an unbing woman, why not you let go of me? You are


    nevercking young beautiful women who are willing to forsake their lives for you, so why are you


    insisting on pestering me?¡± Her tone was extremely sarcastic. She was uttering those words to cover


    up the pain she was feeling deep down.


    Euan simply chuckled, ¡°In your dreams! You will never escape my grasp in this lifetime. Look carefully


    now. See with your eyes what kind of fate will befall those men who you have an affair with. I will


    destroy whatever part of him that touches you!¡±


    Riley¡¯s eyes widened as she stared at Euan incredulously, ¡°What are you nning to do?¡±


    Euan snorted coldly at the face she was making. She was worrying about a man who had just teased


    her. At such a thought, Euan almost couldn¡¯t suppress his urge to tear Kaysorn into pieces and chop off


    his hands and gouge out his eyes!


    ¡°Are you feeling sorry for him? This is just the beginning.¡±


    Euan suddenly let out augh, and it sounded so sinister as if it was a demonughing in hell. His


    depthless gaze was smeared a pitch-ck colour, ¡°Soon, I will let you see with your own eyes the


    consequences of betraying me.¡±


    As he said that, his ck coat whipped up a mini storm, and before Riley could recover from her shock,


    he was no longer stering himself to her. Her bare skin was reflecting the night ze in the sky. She


    was like a beautiful flower waiting to bloom.


    Euan¡¯s brows furrowed even further as he shouted, ¡°Get up!¡±


    Damn it! Riley suddenly felt an anger surging from within.


    ¡°I feel so painful, can¡¯t get up now.¡±


    She was really in pain, her knee was really in pain, her back was in pain. It was an undeniable kind of


    pain which prated straight to the core of her heart.


    Most importantly, her heart was bleeding.


    Riley never thought that Euan would extend his kind hands to pull her up, and when his strong hands


    were sped with hers, Riley felt like she was a drowning girl who had grasped herst straw in life.


    The sky was exploding with blinding whiteness, and the stars were so voluminous that they dyed the


    sky infinitely.


    However, everything was just an illusion.


    The moment Euan pulled her up, he immediately let go of her with a disgusted look on his face. He


    looked down on her dpidated shirt and immediately felt himself bing angry again.


    ¡°Look at your appearance now! How many men are you nning to fool around with?¡±


    Riley immediately covered her half-naked body with her face blushing! It was as if a hot steel-stamp


    had left its imprints on her cheeks.


    Her clothes were already half-torn because of Kaysorn, and coupled with Euan¡¯s tampering, the


    minimal fabric on her skin was half-dangling on her waist. The upper half of her body had long been


    exposed!


    It was lucky for her that no one was passing by here, otherwise Riley would definitely be the talk of the


    towne tomorrow!


    Euan removed his coat and draped it over Riley, which almost swallowed herpletely. Only her


    ankles could be seen and her frame seemed to diminish inside the huge coat.


    There was a sh of lightning in Euan¡¯s eyes as he scolded, ¡°You can forsake your own dignity, but


    never make the George family lose face!¡±


    Riley felt a painful bitterness emanating in her heart. In Euan¡¯s eyes, the reputation of the George


    family rode above everything else. His reputation was more important than her very life.


    Could the reason he was so reluctant to divorce her because of his prideful attitude too?


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Riley looked up and wanted to smile, but something was stinging her eyes and caused her to grimace.


    She could only hold his coat close to her body and took in the scent of tequ abundant on his coat. It


    felt like she was still in his arms.


    She didn¡¯t dare to meet his harsh and intimidating gaze anymore as Riley clutched the huge coat. Her


    long hair which was tidy when she departed from her house earlier was not in tatters, and her hair was


    cascading to the vicle on her neck. Her ck hair formed a stark contrast to her pale white skin. It


    was a sight to behold.


    When she lifted her leg, her ck handbag was shoved into her hand. She looked up only to see


    Euan¡¯s domineering back shrinking into the night.


    His white shirt was pping slight against the wind, and after passing through a section with ns


    hanging down in clusters, his strong scent was in the air for some time even after he had left.


    Riley dug her fingernails into her palms as she picked up her pace and chased after him.


    She didn¡¯t dare to imagine what would await her if she were to be slow on her steps.


    A ck Rolls-Royce was parked by the lush foliage. Victor was jogging over from another direction,


    and upon seeing Euan, he reported, ¡°Boss, we have already settled him.¡±


    Riley couldn¡¯t help widen her eyes. Settled him? What did he mean? Did he mean that he had


    someone wiped this person off from the face of earth?


    That was criminal! Was Euan crazy? There was a price one had to pay if one were to kill someone!


    Kaysorn was the only son of the Cornell family. He was the only heir to the W&K Corporation too. Had


    Euan lost it?


    Riley reached out to grab his arms as if she was fuelled by an unimaginable courage, ¡°What have you


    done to him? Euan, Kaysorn is the president of the W&K Corporation. Don¡¯t be too brash!¡±


    Euan nced at her thin and slender hand holding his wrist, and his gaze was burning a hole in her,


    ¡°He is just the president of the tiny W&K Corporation, and he is a good-for-nothing young master too. Is


    someone like that worthy of your worries?¡±


    He was arrogant and conceited, which rendered Riley a little speechless. Slowly, her fingers clinging to


    his arm unravel themselves.


    ¡°Riley, you are even worse that I thought!¡± The smile ying over his lips was utterly cold. It was a kind


    of coldness that was empty and depthless.


    Rileyughed coldly, ¡°Does a human life mean nothing to you, Mr. George?¡± She was referring to


    herself at the same time.


    Euan¡¯s icy voice could even prate the ss window, ¡°Are you expecting me to take someone who


    doesn¡¯t respect himself seriously?¡±


    Someone who didn¡¯t respect himself? This wasughable!


    Riley turned her face in another direction while swallowing the harsh words she initially nned to


    spout.


    Euan made a gesture, and Victor held the door to the backseat open. Euan stepped into the car while


    Riley was contemting. Should she follow suit, or should she remain the same spot?


    ¡°You¡¯re noting in? Are you thinking to return there¡­ and repeat the same thing?¡±


    Euan¡¯s sarcasticment rang out from the interior of the car. He didn¡¯t explicitly stated that she was


    going to seduce men in front of Victor and instead he chose his words carefully. Even after that, his


    words still brought the same impact to Riley.


    Riley gritted her teeth and got into the car. To her relief, the backseat was spacious enough so that she


    could sit at the far end of the seat. They wouldn¡¯t have to be in close proximity.


    As they were sitting side by side albeit the short distance separating them, Riley could still feel a


    murderous aura creeping up her legs and burrowing into her and reaching her head. Her hair was


    standing on end as if excited by that aura.


    It was an oppressive feeling.


    ¡°Boss, where are we headed to?¡±


    Victor sensed a strange atmosphere hanging in the air, so he quietly asked in a soft voice. He prepared


    the car for departure and he only needed an order from Euan.


    ¡°Return to the YJ Vi now.¡±


    ¡°Roger!¡±


    The roar of the engine overwhelmed Riley¡¯s breathing. They were going back to the YJ Vi¡­ a


    thunderstorm was waiting for her the moment they reached.


    Riley recalled Victor¡¯s words about having dealt with that person cleanly, and there was a thorn in her


    heart. She was seriously worried that Euan wouldmit an irreversible mistake while being led on by


    his own anger, ¡°Kaysorn hadn¡¯t done anything at all, you shouldn¡¯t be too ruthless. After all, he is a


    young master from the Cornell family. You still have to care about his father¡¯s dignity.¡±


    The business field was akin to a battlefield. It was more beneficial to have more friends than foes.


    Euan¡¯s extremely thin lips curled up faintly again, and in the narrow space inside the car, he could smell


    the woman¡¯s fragrance perfectly. If he carefully sniffed the air, he could get a whiff of Gardenia which


    lingered at his nose.


    His heartbeat inadvertently quickened for some reason.


    ¡°You want me to let him off the hook? Then I would have to see whether you can calm me


    down!¡±

 Chapter 23 Euan’s Bath Picture

    Chapter 23 Euan¡¯s Bath Picture


    When he finished his words, Euan found that she had no words for him.


    Nobody spoke anymore in the car, and the air in the car felt more and more oppressive. The car took


    on a ramp and entered the highway and Riley looked outside the window only to see road signs flying


    by at high speed.


    She could feel a huge living and breathing freezer sitting next to her, and it was giving out cold air all


    the time. Throughout their half-hour journey back home, Riley prayed hard that she wouldn¡¯t freeze to


    death.


    Just as the ambience in the car couldn¡¯t get any more oppressive, Euan¡¯s phone rang suddenly with a


    simple monotonous sound.


    He nced at the name of the caller disyed on his screen and he couldn¡¯t help frowning.


    ¡°Mr. George, it¡¯s my fault for not raising my son well. Kaysorn is not familiar with the ways of the world,


    so he has offended you and Mrs. George¡­ I beg that you can pardon him this time, I will make sure to


    apologize in person soon! Mr. George¡­¡±


    Riley could hear the muffled voice of a middle-aged man sobbing and begging from Euan¡¯s phone. Her


    heart became like stone as she realized it must be Kaysorn¡¯s father who had called. He was the


    president of the W&K Corporation.


    Riley focused all her attention to get as much information as she could. Although he didn¡¯t know what


    Euan had done to Kaysorn, but from Luther¡¯s anxious tone, she could deduce that a terrible fate must


    have befallen Kaysorn.


    Euan squeezed his brows impatiently and answered in azy tone, ¡°Mr. Cornell, I am aware that you


    are very busy with business, so you have no time to educate your son. I understand you very well¡­¡±


    ¡°Mr. George, please be rest assured, I will make sure to lecture him well! I hope that you can forgive


    him and let hime back first. I beg you¡­¡±


    Euan replied with a rxed expression, ¡°Mr. Cornell, I can¡¯t take back the bullet I have shot. Since I¡¯ve


    decided to see this to the end with your son¡¯s education, I will make sure to be responsible for


    everything.¡±


    ¡°Mr. George, I¡­¡±


    ¡°Mr. Cornell, if you ever want to see your son in one piece again, I advise you not to bother me


    anymore for now.¡±


    After saying that, without hearing Luther¡¯s further pleas, Euan abruptly hung up his phone. He then


    casually threw his phone on the backseat whichnded in the space between the two of them.


    Riley sucked in a deep breath. This time, she didn¡¯t dare to utter even a word anymore.


    Euan barely exhausted any of his energy while he was able to destroy Kaysorn, one of the four young


    masters of the capital with ease, let alone herself and Sarah.


    As the car continued to speed on the road, the car was enveloped in extreme silence. Euan ced his


    palms on his thighs and shut his eyes as if he was taking a momentary break. The atmosphere in the


    car never rxed despite that.


    At the moment, the high-resolution disy screen of his phone lit up with blinding light, which caught


    Riley off guard. She lowered her gaze to take a look and suddenly, her eyes narrowed.


    On the screen which was ying some animation indicating the name of the caller, Riley saw a name


    which disgusted her.


    Lydia Saunders!


    The ringtone was still that same simplistic one, but this time, Euan didn¡¯t even react to the iing


    call, let alone attempting to answer it.


    Riley pretended not to know who the caller was as she reminded, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to answer it?¡±


    Only Euan¡¯s continued silence answered her, and then he also flipped the phone on its back.


    As the phone was being flipped, the ringtone turned into a soundless vibration. After a while, the phone


    stopped vibrating.


    A smug was formed on Riley¡¯s lips. In the end, was Lydia nothing at all in Euan¡¯s eyes?


    The car stopped outside the YJ Vi, and Victor immediately held the car door open for both Euan and


    Riley to get off it.


    Riley stood amidst the buffeting night breeze and stole a nce at Euan. He was wearing a white shirt


    which was tucked into the ck pants. His long and slender legs were a sight to behold and his


    charisma could even rival that of the night scenery.


    However, no matter how attractive he was or how terrible his personality was, Euan was just a husband


    in name to her.


    Her only job was to y the role of a wife perfectly in front of others and then they would part ways


    after their function. They were just carrying out their roles like a professional following the rules.


    She thought that Euan would return home directly, but he instead said to Victor, ¡°Come to pick me up at


    eight tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Roger, boss.¡±


    Then, the car sped away into the night.


    He was actually nning to stay for the night?


    As he met Riley¡¯s gaze, he said ironically, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going in? Who are you waiting for?¡±


    Riley sighed secretly in her heart, ¡°Mr. George, aren¡¯t you going back home to apany your wife?


    Why are you staying over in this ce?¡±


    There was a hint of envy in her voice.


    This was great, woman. At least you still had a response to all this.


    Euan walked inrge strides and entered the vi without tending to her doubts.


    Riley shrugged faintly and quickly followed him.


    In the huge living room with arge chandelier hanging above, Euan loosened his cor while lying


    majestically on the sofa. His legs were perched on top of a ss table with his sparkling leather shoes


    dangling over the edge. With the length of his legs, it easily exceeded the length of the table.


    Riley took off her shoes and when she lowered her head and took a look, she discovered that her heels


    had blisters all over them due to the friction of the shoes and her skin. The red bruises appeared out of


    ce on her pale white skin


    The pain in her knees was even more profound.


    She snickered coldly. Her body condition was even worse now.


    After pulling her coat close to her skin, Riley was about to go upstairs to change her clothes.


    ¡°Come here.¡±


    In the living room, Euan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. It was infused with an irrefutable honour and


    arrogance.


    ¡°I need to change my clothes. I wille down after doing that.¡± Riley replied while holding to the


    railings of the staircase.


    ¡°When did I allow you to bargain with me? Do you think that I have been too kind towards you, or do


    you think that you are already qualified to talk back to me?¡±


    Euan shot an icy re at her while studying her. It was as if his sharp gaze was going to prate her.


    Riley could only take a step down the stairs and started to inch towards him. She stood by the sofa and


    her figure resembled a rack with a thin cloth hanging over it.


    Euan scanned her face from the bottom to the top, and he saw that under the glow of the lighting, she


    had watery lips and her face was full of make-up. They made her look delicate and fascinating. At the


    same time, it was rare of him to stare at her as serious as he was now; No, to put it more precisely, he


    never looked at her with such an emotion.


    Whenever the image of Kaysorn groping her entered his mind, it ignited Euan¡¯s urge to kill somebody!


    This damned woman, she really had the allure to seduce men. Or else, she wouldn¡¯t have¡­


    Damn it!


    She continued to stand there, just waiting for him to bring down the hammer of judgement. Euan was


    angry and frustrated, and with a sharp shift of his voice, he asked coldly, ¡°What the hell is wrong with


    your house?¡±


    Hmm? Riley was confused by his sudden question.


    House? What house was he talking about?


    Oh! Right, was he referring to the house she had rented? Was Euan talking about the lock that had


    been tampered?


    How did he learn of this?


    Her expression that made her look like she was in a deep thought didn¡¯t escape his eyes, and that


    momentary silliness on her face which was unlike her usual smart and calcting self aroused


    something within him.


    ¡°Juste clean with the truth. Do not ever think of paltering me, and don¡¯t even think of lying to me.¡±


    Euan turned his face away in another direction afterying eyes on Riley for some time. His attitude


    became one of detachment.


    Riley wasn¡¯t very fond of Freya, but she knew that she couldn¡¯t advertise the unfortunate happenings at


    home to outsiders, ¡°It¡¯s just a prank done by several childish kids. I have dealt with the matter.¡±


    Euan raised his eyelids and with his lips slightly trembling, he didn¡¯t expose her just yet, ¡°You can¡¯t


    even hold your ground with several kids. It seems that I have thought too highly of you.¡±


    Riley curled up her lips and asked, ¡°Mr. George, do you have any other matter? If not, I want to go


    change my clothes.¡±


    Euan let out snort, ¡°Riley Watson, where do you get your confidence from?¡±


    Riley furrowed her brows and waited for what he had to say, but the man on the sofa didn¡¯t continue his


    sentence.


    He was really acting strange now.


    She turned around and ascended the stairs as she decided not to entertain him anymore.


    Only when Riley reached the second floor and disappeared into the bed room did Euan opened his


    shut eyes, ¡°Where do you actually get your confidence from that you are even treating me like that?¡±


    The next day, Riley woke up as usual and walked out of her room in her pyjamas. She took a look


    downstairs and saw no sign of Euan. Wasn¡¯t he supposed to leave at eight?


    It was only seven thirty now, so where was he?


    Did he leave earlier because he didn¡¯t want to see her any longer than he already had?


    She turned around and returned to her bedroom. Just as Riley was about to take off her pyjamas, the


    door of the bathroom opened.


    Euan, who had a white towel dangling from his waist, emerged from the bathroom with slippers on his


    feet. His huge frame was only covered thinly by a towel which hid away his private parts. His upper


    body was bulging with muscles as they reflected the glow of the morning sunlight. Water droplets were


    sliding down his skin in the warm sunlight¡­


    Riley clutched the rope to her pyjamas while getting an intense shock!


    This was an image of a handsome guy getting out of his bath, right in front of her eyes.


    Wait!


    When did hee in here? He had even had a bath and washed his hair!


    Euan¡¯s icy cold gaze was able to see through her suspicion, ¡°I don¡¯t use this brand of toothpaste. Get a


    new one before Ie back tonight.¡±


    Riley couldn¡¯t say anything in response.


    Euan strode to the wardrobe impatiently and he continued as he pushed the door open, ¡°One more


    thing, I will leave before eight. Make sure breakfast is ready.¡±


    Riley was still stunned beyond words.


    In order to prepare for Euan¡¯s sudden examination and checking, Riley had stocked up on food in the


    refrigerator, so it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to cook up something simple, but¡­ What did Euan actually mean


    with his words?


    Riley went downstairs with confusion. She prepared a breakfast for two after taking reference of the


    usual amount of food she ate.


    She made fresh soya bean drink and fried two sunny-side ups. She prepared some toast and chopped


    some fresh fruits and ced them on a te.


    Her time was limited, so she couldn¡¯t prepare a full course of Chinese meal. She could onlybine


    Chinese and Western elements in her preparation.


    When breakfast was served, Euan appeared fully dressed in immacte suit and finely-pressed white


    shirt. His hair wasbed into an orderly manner which brought out his shine. He was really shining


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    brilliantly.


    On the other hand, Riley was still dressed in her pyjamas, and her long hair was shoved behind her


    head messily. She had only washed her face briefly¡­


    Seeing that she didn¡¯t have any more time, Riley said, ¡°Breakfast is ready, I¡­ I will go prepare for work


    now.¡±


    Euan scanned the food on the table and frowned, ¡°Sit down.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what I am saying?¡±


    She clenched her fists and tried to convince herself to endure a little more!


    Riley sat down and started to dig into her breakfast. She so wanted to finish them in one fell swoop!


    ¡°I haven¡¯t even started eating yet, so why are you in a rush?¡±


    Riley was once again speechless at him.


    Was it wrong to eat faster than him?


    As she continued eating, she would check his progress, and after taking a few sips of her soya bean


    drink, she would again check his situation. Riley really wanted to finish his meal for him too.


    Just as her heart was racing nervously, Euan finally finished his breakfast.


    Riley immediately set down her ss and went upstairs hurriedly! She was going to bete, no, she


    was definitelyte this time! Euan had spent half an hour to finish his breakfast!


    Euan watched her back disappearing upstairs and his heart was enveloped in a warmth.


    Victor was already outside with his car, and Euan was standing in front of the French window and


    admiring the courtyard. He crossed his arms and drummed them with his rigid fingers.


    Riley rushed downstairs after changing into her office wear, but to her surprise Euan was still there!


    She didn¡¯t put on any make-up with her hair lying on her shoulders. She was wearing the typical office


    ¡°Get in the car.¡±


    Riley began, ¡°The hospital and yourpany aren¡¯t in the same direction¡­ right?¡±


    Euan raised his wrist to check the time on his watch, ¡°Did you think that I¡¯m going to send you there


    purposely? I¡¯m going there for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and I just happen to drop you off there


    conveniently.¡±


    Riley then slowly entered his car and thought that he wouldn¡¯t send her to work personally.


    She was thinking too much once again. Riley Watson, when could she cut off her nonsense delusions?


    After getting off his car, Riley darted into the hospital, and the ck luxurious car sped off immediately.


    Victor asked timidly, ¡°Boss, where are you going to attend your ribbon-cutting ceremony?¡±


    He didn¡¯t hear anything about any ribbon-cutting ceremony¡­


    However, Euan¡¯s frosty gaze was so intense that Victor felt like he was going to disintegrate on the spot


    if he was to be stared at by Euan for some time. Euan barked, ¡°Go back to thepany


    now!¡±

 Chapter 24 Never Said Anything About It, But… We Have Done It

    Chapter 24 Never Said Anything About It, But¡­ We Have Done It


    Riley took her steps on the huge staircase in front of the hospital, and a few doctors brushing past her


    started to gossip about something. When she passed through the side door, a few heart surgeons were


    engaged in a muffled discussion too.


    The atmosphere in the hospital was slightly off today.


    She continued to make her way to the destination without paying any heed to those pointing finger.


    While she was changing her clothes in the women¡¯s locker room, Rose suddenly patted her shoulders,


    ¡°Dr. Watson, did you notice that there is something off with the ambience in the hospital?¡±


    Riley slightly knitted her brows and pondered the possibility that her rtionship with Euan had been


    exposed.


    ¡°What is different today?¡±


    She was draped in her white coat and while thrusting a ballpoint pen into her chest pocket, Riley asked


    nonchntly.


    Rose pursed her lips and answered, ¡°You really don¡¯t know about anything? It is such a major news,


    but you are telling me you know nothing about it?¡±


    ¡°What news?¡±


    The moment she stepped through the main entrance, she immediately sensed that something was


    wrong. Did something major really happen?


    Rose had changed into her doctor¡¯s attire too. She pocketed her pen and mused mysteriously, ¡°So


    there are moments that Dr. Watson would be curious about something as well?¡±


    ¡°I need to patrol the wards now. You can tell me more when Ie back.¡±


    Riley exited the locker room without giving Rose any chance to reveal what was happening.


    ¡°Hey! Dr. Watson¡­¡±


    However, she was out of her sight by then.


    Riley carried along a folder containing the medical history of patients and just as she was about to


    enter a ward, the dean hurriedly caught up to her, ¡°Riley, fast,e with me.¡±


    ¡°Dean, what¡¯s the matter? Can you hold on untilter? I need to go¡­¡±


    ¡°If this isn¡¯t something urgent, would Ie looking for you personally? I will ask Rose to patrol the


    wards, you have toe with me now.¡±


    Riley silentlyined: What was wrong with everything today? Everyone was on edge for some


    reason.


    Uh¡­


    she followed the dean to the entrance of the hospital and Riley immediately saw a dozen people


    standing in a row, and each of them was holding a bouquet of flowers, and there was a banner sporting


    the words ¡°With A Kind Heart, Humanity Will Be Saved¡± in gold colour¡­


    These people were the rtives of those patients who were maliciously stirring up trouble in the


    hospitalst time.


    What shocked Riley was that there were even a few reporters present in the lobby!


    ¡°Dr. Watson, we are here specifically to apologize. We were the ones in the wrongst time. Dr.


    Watson, you have a kind heart and your medical prowess is undeniable, we have misunderstood


    you¡­¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, please ept our apologies. We will make sure to not further defame you¡­¡±


    Riley was startled as she stared at the row of people in shock. She was stunned for a long time.


    Did this mean that the forensic result had been released? Why wasn¡¯t she informed of this?


    The dean smiled earnestly and said, ¡°Dr. Watson, it is thanks to you for insisting to have the corpse


    dissected that the truth was able toe to light. This is a good thing for both you and the hospital.¡±


    While being faced with the dean¡¯s unusual ceremonial attitude and the sincerity by those involved, the


    corner of Riley¡¯s mouth twitched, ¡°Dean, it is good that we can clear the misunderstanding, but¡­ you


    don¡¯t need to do this, do you?¡±


    There were many people gathering in the lobby, and many patients and doctors were surrounding


    them, which impeded the order in the lobby.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, we sincerely want to apologize to you. Please ept our apology!¡±


    A man leading them held up a huge bouquet of lily, and a man beside him was raising the banner in his


    hands. Their sincere attitude today was a far cry from how they were behavingst time.


    Riley helplessly epted the flowers and replied, ¡°Since you¡¯ve already known the forensics result and


    you have also apologized, I won¡¯t pursue this matter anymore. Please go back now.¡±


    The man didn¡¯t expect Riley to back off so easily, so he swallowed with difficulty and asked carefully, ¡°D


    ¡ªDr. Watson, are you sure that you won¡¯t pursue this matter?¡±


    Riley revealed a faint smile and replied, ¡°Why? Are you hoping that we continue to drag this out?¡±


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not what I mean. Dr. Watson, the fact that you won¡¯t pursue our responsibilities is a good


    news for us¡­ Thank you so much, Dr. Watson. Thank you!¡±


    The man thanked profusely, and the dozens of people behind him kept apologizing in loud voices,


    which filled the lobby.


    Wasn¡¯t this a little too¡­ Exaggerated?


    It was not unusual for her to encounter patients kicking up a fuss or those who apologized, but it was


    Riley¡¯s first time seeing someone making a huge scene out of this.


    Let alone Riley, it was also the dean¡¯s first time witnessing such a scene, despite she had many years


    of experience under her belt.


    The reports swooped in and gathered around Riley, all wrestling with each other and with their


    microphones extended to interview Riley¡­


    ¡°Dr. Watson, you have been deeply troubled by these family members¡¯ actions a few days ago, so why


    can you ept their apology so easily?¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, what do you have to say about them kicking up a fuss in the hospital which was an


    unbing antic?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t have any facial expression on her face while she carried the lily in her arms. She replied


    faintly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you are at the hospital. It is a ce reserved for people to seek medical attention, not


    for you to write news and promote your ideas.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, Dr. Watson, you only need to answer one question.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson¡­¡±


    Riley shot a nce at the dean, and the dean immediately dispatched security personnel to shove


    away all those reporters from her.


    While she paid no heed to the crowd craning their heads in her direction behind her, Riley marched into


    an elevator on the side.


    Apology? Banner? Reporters?


    Was this the oue she should expect after that incident in the hospital?


    Riley was really suspicious of how things had turned out.


    ¡°Wow! Such a huge flower! Dr. Watson, you have be a famous person in the hospital! You look


    like an ambassador of JD Central Hospital!¡±


    Margot got her hands on the flowers and banners and she had a look of admiration on her face.


    ¡°If you like them, I can give them to you.¡±


    ¡°Are you for real? Usually the doctors are the one who need to apologize to the family members of a


    patient, but this is the first time I have encountered family members making such a huge scene when


    they apologize to a doctor. Tell me, is this finally our time to take the lead in the dynamics of our


    rtionship?¡±


    Teddy interjected, ¡°Whether you can take the lead or not depends on that matter. It¡¯s not entirely up to


    you.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Pearson, can you stop raining on my parade? It¡¯s not easy for me to finally see a light of hope in


    my career.¡± Margot couldn¡¯t bear to let go of those flowers and she prayed that this meaningful flowers


    would always stay alive and blossom forever.


    At that moment, Rose returned from her routinely patrol, and because she had to cover for Riley¡¯s


    patients this time, her working hours had been dyed significantly.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, shouldn¡¯t you treat me to a meal?¡±


    Riley nodded without hesitation, ¡°Alright, I will treat you to a meal in the canteen. You can order


    whatever you want.¡±


    ¡°Hey, why are you bringing me to the canteen? You have been very nice towards the patients, so why


    can¡¯t you be as nice to us colleagues too?¡±


    Riley took over the file in Rose¡¯s hands and leafed through it to make sure the patients are in their


    expected conditions, ¡°If you want me to be gentle to you, it¡¯s very easy. You just need to fall sick and if


    it happens that you need a heart bypass surgery, I would be extra gentle and caring towards you for the


    ¡°Dr. Watson! Can you not be so petty?¡±


    At noon, Riley fulfilled her promise as she invited Rose and Margot to have a meal in the canteen. With


    much exasperation, the two of them managed to order the most expensive and scrumptious meal


    avable, but the overall price was still too forgiving for Riley.


    The others present in the canteen broke into hushed discussions the moment they saw Riley arriving.


    Riley couldn¡¯t make out what they were talking about, and she felt like their gazes were going to bore a


    hole in her. She couldn¡¯t even rest easy when she was at lunch break.


    There was a saying that went like: a man dreads fame as a pig dreads being muscr. She couldn¡¯t


    agree more!


    Rose was biting her chopsticks as she said mischievously, ¡°Dr. Watson, if things start over again,


    instead of bing a doctor, you can choose to be a star. You look really pretty on camera.¡±


    Riley was just concentrating on her dishes so she didn¡¯t heard what Rose was saying. Margot looked


    upwards at a television and all of a sudden, the braised chop pork ball which was already by her mouth


    dropped to her te.


    ¡°What! You have been interviewed!¡±


    Riley stole a nce at the television screen and saw herself draped in her doctor¡¯s white coat. She


    frowned whileining silently: Those unscrupulous reporters!


    ¡°Are you full now?¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, the way you answered those reporters is so aloof and dominant! You are my goddess!


    Kindly allow me to kneel before you!¡± Rose gazed at the television screen admiringly and at the


    moment, Riley was turning around and leaving with her cool back in the news. Her back was so cool!


    At the same time, this news was being shown on a huge disy screen in Euan¡¯s office.


    Elijah probed, ¡°Boss, how is this? Haven¡¯t we done a good job?¡±


    Euan nced at him with a deadpan expression and his icy gaze prompted Elijah to shut up instantly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have any other matter to attend to at the moment?¡±


    Euan coldly answered.


    ¡°Yes, I have other things to attend to. Boss, please excuse me¡­¡±


    Elijah left the office while Euan continued to stare at the huge screen which was now froze. Her thin


    back resembled the most brilliant ray of twilight shining through a sea of flowers.


    The man¡¯s wicked lips curled up unexpectedly.


    After lunch, all the internal surgeons had an emergency meeting and they only had one agenda for it.


    ¡°You guys know that the position of deputy dean of the internal surgery department had been vacant for


    some time. Now, we finally have a suitable candidate for it, and in a few days, the new deputy dean


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    would assume his position. Everyone have to get ready.¡±


    After the meeting, a dozen doctors started to engage in a heated discussion.


    ¡°I heard that the new deputy dean is a doctor from Stanford University who has won countless medical


    awards! Besides, he has a killer look which is even more handsome than a male protagonist in a


    Korean drama!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not the only thing! He is also the most aplished surgical specialist! As for the reason he is


    transferring to the internal surgery department, I haven¡¯t heard anything about that.¡±


    ¡°Wow! So that means there is going to be a handsome guy joining us! I am looking forward to his


    arrival so much!¡±


    Riley was sceptical about those rumours. A doctor from Stanford University? He has to be at least


    thirty-five years old. To top it off, he is even more handsome than an actor? They must be talking about


    a middle-aged actor then.


    Furthermore, he was going to man the looks department around here? If there was such a perfect man,


    it would really be a surprising twist.


    When Riley almost got off work in the afternoon, she recalled that she needed to administer more


    antibiotics for one of the patients, so she set out to the ward department.


    ¡°Riley!¡±


    Before she could even take a few steps, a high-pitched voice pierced through the corridor. Riley raised


    her head with her hands thrust in her pockets and a woman in heavy make-up came into view. Her


    high-heels were making clicking noises underneath, and while she swayed her waist, her long wavy


    hair bounced and wavered rhythmically. She was really seductive and alluring.


    Although she had a pair of huge sunsses on, Riley could recognize that this woman with unfriendly


    intentions was none other than Lydia.


    ¡°Anything I can help you with, Miss Saunders?¡± Riley replied nomittally, her tone icy and distant.


    Lydia hurried her pace and she was now standing in front of Riley. She wasughing coldly with


    exaggeration, ¡°Riley, you are really a capable person!¡±


    As she was saying that, her slender arm was raised high as she made a gesture to p Riley.


    ¡°Miss Saunders, stop your nonsense here!¡±


    Riley held Lydia¡¯s wrist in mid-air with exceeding speed, which astounded Lydia.


    Lydia was gnashing her teeth as she struggled to retrieve her hand. She howled, ¡°You shameless bitch!


    What have you said to Euan?¡±


    She was reallying at Riley for him! That was only natural since besides Euan, there was no way


    they could have anything inmon which would entice them for a meet-up.


    Riley stared straight at Lydia¡¯s heavily made-up face and snorted, ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything to him, but¡­ I


    have done it with him!¡±

 Chapter 25 Would I Not Be Able to Defeat You?

    Chapter 25 Would I Not Be Able to Defeat You?


    The moment Riley said ¡°she had done it with him¡±, Riley was grinding her teeth so hard that it was


    making some audible noise. Her bloody red lips were pressed together hard because of anger and


    behind her sunsses, Riley could immediately feel her murderous intentions.


    ¡°Riley, you are really beyond shameless! You have the nerve to stick yourself to Euan at this critical


    juncture. You bitch!¡±


    Inparison to Lydia¡¯s fury, Riley was all too calm andposed. There was a hint of sarcasm on


    her face as she asked casually, ¡°At this critical juncture? Miss Saunders, can you borate on that?¡±


    Lydia¡¯s lips slowly curled up and her slender fingers were stroking her belly. She then snorted noisily,


    ¡°Do you even need me to make it even more clearly to you? I am bearing Euan¡¯s child, soon I will be


    able to rece you¡­¡±


    At that moment, Lydia suddenly broke into a fit ofughter, ¡°I understand now, Riley. You must be very


    anxious because I am bearing his child, am I right? You must be afraid that Euan would banish you


    after this, and that is why you are seducing him with all your might. Riley, you are really scheming!¡±


    Riley slowly shifted her gaze downwards and it stopped at Lydia¡¯s stomach. Riley only wanted tough


    disdainfully upon hearing Lydia¡¯s provoking words.


    Did Lydia really think that she could cement herself as the youngdy in the George family just


    because she was bearing his child? Did Lydia really think she would be Euan¡¯s official wife by


    having his child? From her understanding of Euan¡¯s character, if Lydia were to threaten him with the


    child as the bargaining chip, only one fate would be awaiting her¡ªShe would lose both her wealth and


    Euan!


    Riley was burying her hands in the pockets of her coat, and her white coat was in stark contrast to


    Lydia¡¯s fashionable attire, ¡°Lydia, why are you forcing yourself to exin things to me? If you are really


    confident that you can capture Euan¡¯s heart, why do you need toe looking for my trouble? With


    how much nonsense you have been spouting in front of me, that just proves that you are very insecure


    and unconfident. Are you feeling uneasy now?¡±


    Lydia¡¯s hands had curled up into fists. Riley was right, and her words had was right on the mark. When


    she saw Euan engaging in intimate action with Riley in the car park outside the entertainment district,


    that was when Lydia first felt a strange sense of uneasiness. When she saw Riley moving back to the


    vi, her uneasiness ramped up a notch too. By the time Riley had control over the turn of events, she


    would be out of the game.


    Furthermore, Euan had been very cold towards her in the past two days. He wasn¡¯t even showering her


    with more concern because of her pregnancy.


    If it were not for¡­


    Lydia produced a smile and crossed her arms while holding out her chin disdainfully, ¡°Riley, you are


    thinking too highly of yourself! I havee to look for you because I want to remind you to find another


    ce to settle down before you are really shunned by the George family. I just don¡¯t want to see you


    ending up in the streets without anybody to care for you!¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t want to continue this farce with Lydia anymore, so she lifted her slender legs and just as


    she was about to brush past her, Lydia suddenly said, ¡°Riley, take a look at this.¡±


    Riley looked sideways upon hearing than and she happened to catch a glimpse of Lydia¡¯s raised hand.


    There was an emerald bracelet on her wrist, which gave off a refreshing and attractive glow. One could


    see that this was a high-grade jewellery at first nce, but¡­ why did this bracelet look so familiar?


    Lydia shook the bracelet and continued with her lips curling up, ¡°You must be able to recognize this,


    no? This is the jade bracelet from the Qing dynasty which was possessed by the Madam of the George


    family who is also Euan¡¯s mother and also your mother-inw. It was such a coincidence too,


    considering that your mother-inw has gifted me this bracelet the moment she learnt of my pregnancy


    besides inviting me to the old mansion of the George family.¡±


    She had been emphasizing the word ¡°mother-inw¡± repeatedly, and her tone was full of sarcasm.


    Riley stared at the bracelet and suddenly, she felt that something was obstructing her field of vision. It


    was an ufortable sensation.


    Lydiaughed arrogantly, ¡°Perhaps Euan hasn¡¯t enlightened himself with the importance of this child to


    the George family, but no matter, as long as his parents know of this child¡¯s importance. That would be


    enough. There are some antics which are opposing the concept of filial piety, and one dread not being


    able to carry out the bloodline the most! The George family was an affluent family with a long history.


    How could they allow a woman who couldn¡¯t bear their future generations stay in the family?¡±


    Riley felt her hand curling into fists as she couldn¡¯t wait to tear Lydia into pieces. However, she was not


    someone who would resort to violence when faced with a problem.


    Why would Riley be scared by just some mere words?


    Hence, she simply smiled with a nondescript expression, ¡°Then, I really have to congratte you. Allow


    me to give you a piece of advice, pregnancy is not a sure fire thing. Some people have no problem


    giving birth to a healthy baby while some people have to face miscarriage. You better watch out from


    now on and make sure that you don¡¯t cause your baby to lose his life.¡±


    Lydia who was about to leave stopped in her tracks and focused all her attention on Riley¡¯s face. She


    poked Riley¡¯s cors with her delicate nails as she took a nce at her name card pinned on her


    uniform. There was an unedited photo of her on the name card. Lydia red vehemently at that photo


    and cursed at her: You bitch!


    She then retorted slowly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to spout suchments! Of course I will be fine! Also, I will


    be visiting the obstetrics and gynaecology department often in this hospital, and coincidentally you are


    working here too. What say you, if I implore mother-inw to ask you to take care of me? Would she


    agree to that?¡±


    Her crystal-d nails were pinching the edge of her name card as she burnt the photo and name on it


    into her memory.


    Riley stared at her sternly, ¡°You cane to me if you have a heart attack!¡±


    After saying that, Riley didn¡¯t give Lydia any chance to retaliate with more nonsense as she walked in


    big strides to the ward area. Lydia also started walking and the sounds her high-heels made were


    reverberating in the corridor, ¡°Riley, if you dare to have anything to do with Euan again, I will make sure


    mother-inw will banish you from the family!¡±


    Riley felt like she had reached the limits of her patience. She turned around and snorted coldly, ¡°Lydia,


    are you stupid? You want mother-inw to shun me? You better think about the repercussions for


    yourself if the media were to learn that you are a mistress! I never want to disclose about my marriage


    with Euan, but who knows if I would do that if my mood is good¡­¡±


    ¡°Riley! You better don¡¯t push me!¡±


    Lydia was afraid of the prospect of their marriage getting exposed now. The only reason she could


    reprimand her here was because nobody knew about the rtionship between Riley and Euan. If the


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    masses were to learn of that, it would put her in an awkward position.


    Riley nced at her with disgust, ¡°Therefore, if you want your child to be born healthily, and for the


    sake of your reputation as a top star, you better watch your behaviour! If you go past my limit, I wouldn¡¯t


    care if I lose everything, but do you have the guts to sacrifice everything?¡±


    Do you have the guts to satisfy everything?


    This was just a simple sentence, yet it weighed heavily in Lydia¡¯s heart.


    Riley didn¡¯t have much to begin with, so what did she have to lose?


    The same thing couldn¡¯t apply to her¡­ if the ugly truth were toe to light, her career would be


    ruined. Besides, she hadn¡¯t captured Euan¡¯s heart yet.


    Without giving Lydia any chance to reply, Riley disappeared into the elevator.


    Lydia could only stare at her back, which was dressed in white.


    Just as Riley had changed into her clothes and was about to go out, the phone in her pocket rang.


    ¡°Dear, are you alright? How are you feeling now? Did Euan that bastard bully you?¡±


    The moment the call connected, Sarah gushed ceaselessly with consecutive bombs. Riley picked up


    her hand bag and began toin bitterly, ¡°Why are you only thinking of me now? I am really in deep


    troubletely. Where are you spending your time leisurely now?¡±


    ¡°I was wrong for doing that, but now I have returned to the country. Too many things had happened in


    the family, and my father has arranged way too much gathering for me. It is such a fuss!¡±


    Riley was striding towards the entrance of the hospital as she took a jab at Sarah, ¡°Then, tell me, Miss


    Taylor, are you calling me to show your concern or are youining to me? I don¡¯t think I can feel


    your concern now.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m calling to show my concern! You are at the hospital, right? Let me go get you now. I will treat you to


    dinner, so choose anything you want! I will take care of everything from your food to your dessert, how


    is that?¡±


    Riley who was in a foul mood a moment ago felt refreshed after being disturbed by Sarah¡¯s chattering.


    She faked her snort and replied, ¡°That is good enough. I will only give you twenty minutes. I¡¯m so


    starving now.¡±


    ¡°Roger! Mrs. George!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Riley slowly exited the hospital. There weren¡¯t many people in the hospital,


    and there were even lesser people loitering outside the building. As she recalled the toon of people


    apologizing to her during day time, she couldn¡¯t help sucking in another breath.


    The moment she sat down on a long bench to wait for Sarah, her phone vibrated in her pocket once


    again.


    When she saw the name of the caller, she jumped up from her bench with shock. It was from the


    George residence!


    There wouldn¡¯t be any good news waiting for her every time she received a call from the George family.


    This had held true in the past three years.


    With her brows furrowed, Riley held her phone hesitantly and after taking in a deep breath, she decided


    that there was no way she could ignore this call.


    ¡°Hello¡­¡±


    ¡°Riley, what the hell have you been thinking?¡±


    The moment it connected, Anika¡¯s scolding came through and gave Riley a shock.


    ¡°Mum, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Riley tried to maintain herposure but her brows were furrowed even deeper.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re asking me that? You can¡¯t bear to see the George family prosper? You can¡¯t


    bear to see Euan and Lydia be happy, is that it?¡±


    Lydia?


    So she was even addressing Lydia so intimately now?


    She had received this probing call so soon, and that must be because Lydia had gone crying to Anika


    immediately after their conversation just now. She was really fast on her feet!


    Riley felt an ache guing her heart as her heart sank. She answered with a forced calmness, ¡°Mum, I


    don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡±


    ¡°Why are you still pretending to be innocent? Hmph! In the past, I was only aware of the fact that you


    couldn¡¯t bear a child, but now I know that you are a wicked woman. I can¡¯t believe that you are nning


    to bring harm to Lydia the moment you know that she is bearing Euan¡¯s child. She is bearing the next


    generation of the George family, yet you are nning to bring harm to her! You wicked woman! You are


    not worthy to be the daughter-inw of the George family!¡±


    Riley felt so hurt that her eyes were beginning to feel sour and she felt a coldness seeping into her


    mouth. She was in a total shock. Bringing harm to her child? Where did thise from?


    The truth of the matter was that Anika fully believed Lydia¡¯s words and in contrast, she wouldn¡¯t believe


    Riley¡¯s words at all.


    ¡°Mum, I never have that kind of intention, I only recently learnt of that¡­¡±


    Her exnation was not convincing at all.


    ¡°You know very well whether you are harbouring such intentions! Lydia is going to do her examination


    in JD Central Hospital, and you are a doctor working there. I now appoint you to be responsible for


    Lydia¡¯s check-up! If there is something amiss with her or her child, know that I will never let you off the


    hook!¡±


    With a loud m, the line went dead. Riley couldn¡¯t even retort, yet Anika had mmed down the


    phone with such force that it was sending shudders through her heart.


    Appointing her to examine Lydia?


    Was this a joke?


    Riley was still staring at her phone while lost in her thoughts when a sudden ring sound broke her


    reverie. She snapped back to reality and saw a white Porsche appearing in front of her


    eyes.

 Chapter 26 What, How Come We Can Bump Into Him Here?

    Chapter 26 What, How Come We Can Bump Into Him Here?


    The ornamental lights in JD City began to light up and the shing neon lights were everywhere. The


    lights on the outer walls of high-rise buildings were changing into seven colours continuously and t. The


    beautiful lights and scenery were highlighting the prosperity of the city.


    ¡°Riley, don¡¯t pull a long face, it isn¡¯t worth being angry with a bitch like Lydia! That kind of bitch will


    definitely be given a lesson by others. You just need to take your responsibility to act as a beauty!¡±


    Riley twitched her lips, cut a small piece of steak, and sent it into her mouth, ¡°What the hell you¡¯re


    saying.¡±


    ¡°Now is the time to eat and drink. So don¡¯t think about it anymore. In my view, the matter that Lydia is


    pregnant may not be a bad thing for you. Euan has always rejected to divorce you. Since Lydia is


    already pregnant now, what excuse can he use to not let you go? Humph!¡±


    Sarah bit the steak forcefully in anger as if she was biting an enemy that she detested a lot. Riley was


    the one who was bullied but Sarah was even more angry and agitated.


    Riley poked the food on the te with the fork, would Euan really agree to divorce because of Lydia¡¯s


    matter?


    Riley was very clear about the reason why Euan insisted not to divorce. That was because he wanted


    to keep her in the position of the young female owner of the George family to confine her freedom,


    deprive her of the right to strive for happiness, and also to torture her using this kind of method to let


    her watch him being in a good rtionship with another woman.


    The so-called ¡°experiencing widowhood although the husband is still alive¡± was what she was facing


    now.


    ¡°If I can really divorce sessfully, I¡¯ll definitely ensure Lydia¡¯s child is safe in her belly.¡± Riley poked a


    ¡°Good! This is how the person by the name of Riley should be! Isn¡¯t it just Lydia? Isn¡¯t it just Euan who¡¯s


    icy-cold? What¡¯s the problem? Let me tell you, good men are everywhere, you can easily find one!¡±


    Bah!


    ¡°Like the one at the Royal Clubst time? Come on, that scum is totally not like a good man.¡±


    ¡°Oh, everyone will be unfamiliar at the first time but they will be skilful at the second time. I¡¯ll bring you


    to attend a few more events to meet more people. You will then naturally learn how to distinguish


    between scum and a good man!¡±


    Riley did not express her opinion and just pursed her lips, smiling. It was just nice that her gaze fell on


    the ss revolving door of the restaurant. Outside the transparent ss door, five to six men in a suit


    suddenly came over and a tall figure was in the middle of the men¡­


    Euan, who was very tall, was surrounded by several middle-aged men. He was looking at the front


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    coldly and solemnly. The men on the right and left were apparently also bowing themselves to curry


    favour with him. There was not even a trace of emotion in Euan¡¯s indifferent expression. He simply


    uttered a few perfunctory words after the people next to him said a lot.


    Those executives who heard Euan¡¯s response also nodded and smiled. Their looks of giving tteries


    and curry favouring were extremely disgusting.


    Seeing Euan suddenly stepping into the room, Riley¡¯s heartbeat abruptly quickened and the force used


    by her hands to hold the fork and knife also increased slightly. Her gaze remained on him without


    moving away.


    She never expected that she would meet him there!


    Thinking of Lydia¡¯s importunate behaviour at the hospital during the day and mother-inw¡¯s reprimand


    on the phone, Riley¡¯s face turned blue. If Euan saw her and said something else that could hurt her,


    she was not sure that she could still sleep soundly today.


    ¡°Riley? What are you looking at?¡± Seeing that Riley''s eyes were staring nkly at something, Sarah


    waved her hand in front of Riley¡¯s eyes, prompting her to quickly regain her presence of mind.


    Riley¡¯s presence of mind was abruptly regained. She hurriedly covered up her emotion just now. If


    Sarah saw Euan, she would perhaps take the initiative to help her vent her anger. How could Sarah win


    Euan? She was defeated within minutesst time.


    ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m full, let¡¯s leave here.¡± Riley put down the knife and fork. The best way now was to quickly


    leave this ce.


    ¡°What, I have just eaten a bit, you eat some more.¡± Only a small corner of the steaks in their tes was


    eaten. Sarah was not willing to leave.


    And now, even if Riley wanted to leave, she also could not do so anymore.


    Euan was walking towards them!


    Euan, who was already annoyed by the business partners, slightly raised his head and saw the thin


    figure that was sitting beside the window. The woman was hanging her head and some of her shoulder-


    length hair was hung in front of her chest. The crystal chandelier was emitting a charming shimmer


    above her head.


    With a light white shirt, clean and ravishing cheeks, and side-face that was shown while dining quietly,


    there was a kind of indescribable tranquillity around her.


    When Riley looked up again, Euan had already been squeezed by several people to arge table of six


    at their left side. Euan sat in the main seat while the other people were holding menus and could not


    help talking about the business matter.


    Their voices were low so it was not clearly audible. However, it always seemed like Euan¡¯s low and


    deep voice was echoing in the air. He seldom spoke and his short sentences always flew to her ears as


    if the words had wings. His tone was so pleasant to be heard that it was totally different from those


    middle-aged men¡¯s tteringughter.


    Even Sarah who was lowering her head to have food also noticed the abnormality in the air. She could


    not help but raise her head to look around. Then¡­she was startled!


    Not far away, Euan¡¯s slender figure was sitting on the sofa with his long legs crossed. His handsome


    face looked icy-cold and he was gazing coldly at a man who was reporting the work matter to him.


    The piece of steak that was put into Sarah¡¯s mouth just now dropped.


    ¡°How¡­how could it be?¡± Sarah¡¯s entire body quivered in fear. Despite criticizing so much about how


    Euan was and what had he done, Sarah¡¯s mind became nk after seeing Euan.


    Riley covered one side of her face with her hand and lowered her head, ¡°Don¡¯t look at there, we must


    find a chance to leave hereter.¡±


    Sarah nodded absentmindedly, ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Mr. George?¡± The man, who reported arge string of data to Euan just now yet did not get any reply


    from him even after a long time, reminded cautiously.


    The other people there also noticed that Euan seemed a little distracted. So, they repeated the words


    uttered just now in twos and threes.


    Euan did not directly look at the table over there as the action of directly looking at a woman who was


    dining obviously did not match what his personality was. However, when his eyes sagged, the figure


    that annoyed him kept lingering in his mind.


    ¡°The earnings gained in this quarter can¡¯t be used as an overall reference. Mr. Chapman, you need to


    provide a statement of earnings for two years, the board of directors of MBK will evaluate it carefully


    after that.¡±


    Euan responded faintly with an indifferent attitude but the content of his words hit the nail on the head.


    The people there not only doubted whether Euan had listened to their proposals but also marvelled that


    Euan¡¯s acumen was really extraordinary.


    After dealing with the inquiry, Euan looked at the window both intentionally and unintentionally. Riley


    and Sarah had taken their bags on the sofa and were bowing their bodies, preparing to leave.


    Wanna leave?


    Seeing the women¡¯s figures who were preparing to leave, Euan¡¯s thin lips curled slightly and this eased


    the hint of indifferent gloom of his face.


    ¡°Mr. George, what do you want to eat? The signature dish of this restaurant is¡­¡±


    A middle-aged executive took the initiative to walk to Euan¡¯s back while holding a menu to rmend


    the dishes. The other people also repeated in agreements, trying to trigger Euan¡¯s interest.


    Euan nced at the menu sternly and sharply. His expressionless face did not show a trace of joy or


    anger. He just spoke indifferently to them, ¡°I won¡¯t have dinner here, I still have things to do.¡±


    ¡°Mr. George¡­¡± Several of them got up when they saw Euan stand up. They smiled obsequiously and


    said carefully, ¡°Is Mr. George dissatisfied with anything here? Please tell us what you want, we¡¯ll do our


    best to fulfil it.¡±


    Euan¡¯s long and fair fingers slowly buttoned his Armani suit and his long legs came out of the seat, ¡°It¡¯s


    my personal matter, none of your business.¡±


    It was spoken in a direct and clear-cut tone. Euan looked at the revolving ss door coldly and paced


    steadily, not allowing the people behind him to say one more word.


    Keeping their mouths shut, those people looked at each other and looked at the man who was getting


    farther from them. The moisture in the air seemed to be suddenly brought away by this umon and


    noble figure and they were so scared that they did not dare to even breathe.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    After escaping from the restaurant, Sarah breathed heavily and covered her chest to calm herself,


    ¡°Holy crap, my heart has leapt to my throat! Riley, is this a ghost that is unwilling to leave that people


    always call!¡±


    ¡°Who said with righteousness just now that she will help me to avenge and vent my anger? Where has


    your spirit gone to?¡± Riley poked Sarah¡¯s head with contempt.


    ¡°Well, during a war, I must also estimate the strength of the enemy, okay? My level is totally inferior to


    Euan¡¯s level. If I really go to fight with him, I¡¯ll be killed in seconds, you don¡¯t want me to die early,


    right?¡±


    Sarah put her palm on her neck and made the action of being beheaded. She even deliberately


    stretched out her tongue to show that she ¡®died with a grievance¡¯.


    Riley was also helpless, ¡°Stop, how can I let you die for me? You did not eat enough food just now,


    right? I¡¯ll take you to eat something else!¡±


    After the words were uttered, Riley held Sarah¡¯s hand and they were going to start walking.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    Behind them, a cold and appalling voice suddenly sounded. Although they were ten meters away from


    Euan, they could already feel his aura and coldness!


    Sarah and Riley abruptly stopped moving.


    The air became stagnant!


    Sarah¡¯s mouth was widened into a big ¡®O¡¯ shape and it remained in this manner for quite a while. Riley


    frowned slightly, turned around and looked at Euan.


    Euan, who was in the high-grade ck suit with one hand hiding in the pocket of his pants, was


    standing against the light. His upright and handsome figure looked like God. His eyes were shing


    with bottomless coldness with his thin lips closed. His body was full of indescribable icy coldness.


    ¡°What a coincidence.¡±


    Riley curled her lips into a smile as if they indeed coincidentally bumped into each other. She hid her


    nervousness and the smile portrayed by her was so pure that one would not be suspicious of her.


    What a coincidence? Bah!


    Euan did not show any expression on his face. He took a broad step down the stair and spoke coldly,


    ¡°Follow me.¡±


    Sarah¡¯s eyes suddenly widened. She grabbed Riley¡¯s arms while shaking her own head and speaking


    silently with her mouth gesture which meant to remind her not to follow him.


    Riley stroked off Sarah¡¯s hand and lowered her voice, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    Sarah showed a crying face, ¡°Riley¡­¡±


    The car lights of the ck Rolls-Royce that was between a row of cars lighted up. Riley said goodbye


    to Sarah and walked over. She bent her body and got into the passenger seat.


    The small and cramped space was full of coldness created by Euan. Riley calmed herself and took the


    initiative to ask, ¡°The reason you¡¯re looking for me is because of her?¡±


    It was needless for her to think about it that the reason was certainly because of Lydia who was in the


    limelight.


    Euan looked askance at her, ¡°Who do you learn the behaviour of not wearing a seat belt from?¡±


    Um?


    Riley was choked for a moment. She pulled the seatbelt and sized up Euan¡¯s expression. He was just


    showing a cold face, nothing more than that.


    ¡®Click¡¯. The seat belt was buckled.


    Euan started the car engine. The ck car left the parking lot and sped into the road. During the whole


    process, Euan did not utter a word.


    ¡°Where are you bringing me to?¡± Riley stared head-on at his sculpted-like side face and asked.


    What she received was Euan¡¯s icy silence.


    Riley gritted her teeth, ¡°Euan, what the hell do you want to do?¡±


    Euan gazed at the front while his long fingers were holding the steering wheel, ¡°You¡¯ve spoilt my n,


    what do you think I want to do?¡±

 Chapter 27 A Slap in Her Face

    Chapter 27 A p in Her Face


    Spoilt his n?


    Riley muttered in her mind, had she done anything to spoil his n?


    So, what he meant was that she had annoyed Lydia and that woman had madeints so the


    elders of the George family had put pressure on him?


    If this was really the case, she had indeedmitted a wrong deed.


    Riley looked at the front. The lights of the ever-bright city were shining brightly and the city was full of


    prosperity.


    ¡°It seems that I¡¯ve really made a big unforgivable mistake. Lydia went to the hospital to find me today


    and we indeed had a quarrel. As to how she describes this matter to others, I don¡¯t know. But, I never


    have the intention to hurt her.¡±


    The tone was not light and not heavy, very much in line with Dr. Watson¡¯s usual style. Even her slight


    disdain feeling during the tone switching while speaking was so calm that it irritated him.


    A trace of anger appeared on Euan¡¯s face imperceptibly. How could she be so calm when she was


    talking about Lydia?


    ¡°She went to the hospital? For what?¡± The person in the driver''s seat coldly asked.


    This time, Riley was surprised, ¡°What? You don¡¯t know that she went to the hospital? Shees to do


    the maternity check-up, you¡­¡±


    ¡°Why should I know?¡±


    His tone was still indifferent and cold as if Lydia had no rtionship with him at all. Eh? Shouldn¡¯t Euan


    be very concerned about his child¡¯s mommy?


    ¡°Lydia is expecting your baby, shouldn¡¯t you care about her? She¡¯s now a pregnant woman and


    perhaps she¡¯s expecting the eldest grandson of the George family. Mr. George apparently cares too


    little about your own child?¡±


    Her red lips opened and closed and she asked about the matter that she cared about the most with an


    indifferent attitude.


    She actually looked forward to hearing him make his stand clear on the spot, but¡­


    Euan¡¯s hand that was holding the steering wheel tightened inadvertently and he frowned. Damn


    woman! Why must you always show your disdain so obviously?


    ¡°I care about my own child, of course! I don¡¯t need you to remind me of this!¡±


    Instantly, the icy-cold tonepletely broke the calmness maintained just now. Riley¡¯s heart throbbed


    and her hand that was holding the seat belt was forcefully clenched.


    ¡°Since you care so much, why does Mr. George waste time on me? When Lydia gives birth to the child


    of the George family, you will marry¡­¡±


    ¡°Riley!¡±


    Riley was scared by Euan¡¯s sudden and cold yell. She shut her mouth.


    Euan was infuriated.


    ¡°It isn¡¯t your part to tell me what I should do.¡±


    After a stiff and cold yell, his tone became colder again.


    Yeah, she was not eligible to tell him what he should do. Then what was his purpose to bring her to let


    her get in his car?


    The car was moving on the brightly lit road with a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. The


    pressure in the car was very low. Riley had uncontrobly looked at Euan several times but his angr


    face was taut so she simply could not see any emotion on his face.


    Since he did not say anything, she certainly did not want to take the initiative to break the silence. Riley


    only wanted to quickly escape from the oppressive atmosphere that made her hardly breathed.


    To Riley¡¯s astonishment, Euan car surprisingly stopped outside the shopping mall. She raised her eyes


    and saw that there were many people in the Hang Lung Building in JD City. She could not help but


    frown.


    ¡°What for you bring me here?¡±


    Coldly, Euan nced with some disgust at the woman beside him, ¡°To buy something.¡±


    The three words went into Riley¡¯s ears like an iron hammer. However, this time, Riley was exceptionally


    dumbstruck.


    To buy something? Euan surprisingly came to the shopping mall to buy something?


    Riley had not regained her presence of mind from the shock. Euan handed a gold card to her, ¡°You¡¯re


    right, I should care more about my child and my woman!¡±


    Riley¡¯s eyes abruptly widened, ¡°You¡­¡±


    ¡°So, I¡¯m going to find Lydia tonight. I think you should be very good at choosing the gift to be given to


    her.¡±


    What?! The reason he let here to the shopping mall was to make use of her to buy a gift for


    Lydia?!


    Riley¡¯s face turned blue, pale and darkened in turn. Finally, a trace of usual redness still appeared on


    her face. Was her heart feeling painful? Of course, it was. But, it was unnecessary.


    ¡°What kind of gift does Mr. George want to buy?¡± Riley held the bank card so tightly that the card was


    almost broken. As she had used too much force, the bone shapes of her fingers could be clearly seen.


    She felt a forceful p in her face!


    Euan spoke with an appallingly icy tone without even looking at her, ¡°That¡¯s a gift for my child¡¯s mother,


    what do you think?¡±


    Riley pursed her lips silently. Her heart was aching but she showed a pleasant smile on her face,


    ¡°Okay! I got it!¡±


    Riley opened the car door and strode to the entrance of the mall. After she entered the ss doors,


    she slowly let out the breath that was contained in her chest. After letting it out, she realized that the


    strong inner strength that she had just now was gone.


    That was not the answer she wanted.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    A deep and angry frown creased Euan¡¯s forehead after seeing Riley¡¯s figure disappear from his sight.


    His fist came down on the steering wheel with a bang!


    Damn woman!


    Were you really looking forward that much to kicking me out of your life? Were you really looking


    forward that much to divorcing me?!


    Good, very good, I would let you wait and see!


    Riley strolled inside the mall. Ugh! Didn¡¯t he let her buy something for Lydia? She would definitely


    choose and buy it properly, of course!


    After buying more than a dozen women¡¯s products altogether, Riley carried the stic bags and


    prepared to walk back to the car. Euan, tonight, I would let you gain honour in front of Lydia. At the


    same time, I would wish you two always be in love and be old together!


    While walking back, Riley saw a store that sold imported goods. Uncontrobly, her legs moved into the


    store.


    With only a nce, she saw the toothpaste with the green package that was one of the brands from


    France. Euan had said that he did not like the toothpaste at home and had asked her to buy one


    back¡­


    But, why should she help him! He was going to another woman¡¯s house!


    ¡°Miss, the stock of this toothpaste has just been replenished today. You reallye at good timing. Do


    you need me to wrap it up?¡±


    Riley blurted out uncontrobly, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Damn!


    After seeing Riley walk out of the mall entrance with two arms full of shopping bags, Euan frowned


    again. This woman, damn!


    Riley put the gifts in the trunk and pped her hands, ¡°Since you¡¯re going to find her, I don¡¯t think you


    need to give me a free ride. Euan, wish you a wonderful night!¡±


    Euan gazed sharply at Riley. The sharpness in his eyes was so intense that he could not wait to tear


    her apart!


    ¡°You, very good!¡±


    After the stern yell, the ck car sped away!


    Riley returned to the vi, kicked off her shoes and walked barefoot on the carpet. The vi was empty


    and was so quiet that even the sound of breaths could be heard.


    It was indeed terribly lonely.


    Riley simply packed up her things and as she had to go to the hospital early to work tomorrow, she


    went upstairs and prepared to hit the hay.


    But, when she turned around and saw the bag, she remembered the toothpaste she bought. Then, she


    frowned and opened the carton. Thinking for a while, she decided to take it to the bathroom upstairs.


    After putting it down, Riley¡¯s thought changed. She moved all the toiletries used by Euan to the


    bathroom of the first floor in a fit of anger. Since you were going to find Lydia, then it would be better


    that I divided the things between you and I clearly.


    After doing everything, Rileyy on the bed. Her phone screen showed 10.30 p.m. There was no


    movement outside so she felt that he was really noting back tonight.


    Euan came in from outside and saw that all the lights in the vi had been switched off. He parked the


    car and entered the door. Once he lowered his head, he saw the shoes Riley wore during the day were


    ced improperly at the front door. His tightly furrowed brows unconsciously rxed.


    The living room looked luxurious after the crystal chandelier was lit up. Euan casually threw the car


    keys on the table and strode upstairs.


    He reached out and pushed the door of the bedroom. His brows that were rxed frowned again.


    This woman had surprisingly locked the door?


    Euan, who was forced to surrender, stared at the door in a bad mood for a minute. As expected, this


    woman was determined to make his life difficult!


    What made Euan even angrier was that all his toiletries were surprisingly in the bathroom of the first


    floor!


    Shit!


    Riley, you were looking for death!


    Euan, who was so angry that he wished to stab someone to death, grabbed the toothbrush and


    squeezed the toothpaste. He froze, when was it changed?


    Just like that, Riley and Euan gave each other the silent treatment. After waking up in the morning,


    Riley prepared the breakfast but she did not say a word while eating.


    The consequence of this was that Euan did not return to the vi that night. At the same time, the news


    that he and Lydia were lovey-dovey appeared in the newspaper again.


    What I thought was true! His heart absolutely belonged to Lydia.


    Riley dropped the newspaper and focused fully on her work to cover up the great pain in her heart.


    In the JD Central Hospital three dayster.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, the patient who has just finished doing the heart bypass surgery suddenly has a cardiac


    arrest, Dr. Smith asks you to go over to take a look!¡±


    A nurse ran directly to Riley¡¯s office. The nurse¡¯s excessive nervousness made her forgot Riley¡¯s cold


    aura for a moment. She grabbed Riley¡¯s sleeves and ran out.


    Riley took the stethoscope, hung it on her neck and sprinted to keep up with the nurse, ¡°How is the


    situation?¡±


    Serena¡¯s mouth slowly erged, ¡°Holy crap! Don¡¯t tell me that the nurses in our hospital think that Dr.


    Watson has changed personality after receiving a silk banner?¡±


    Margot was also dumbfounded, ¡°Since when do surgeons need our help to handle the patients? Is Dr.


    Watson going to work as a surgeon and an internist simultaneously?!¡±


    Riley strode to the ward on the eighth floor. Three surgeons were already standing inside. The doctor


    as the leader was defibriting the patient but there was still no heartbeat data on the instrument.


    Riley moved to the front of them and reached out to open the patient¡¯s eyelids, ¡°Prepare for the cardiac


    After the male doctor on the side heard the order, he hurriedly sped his hands to press the patient¡¯s


    chest. When Riley saw that the situation was urgent, she coldly yelled, ¡°Adrenaline 5 mA, inject from


    the right vein!¡±


    The nurse whose hands were trembling took the infusion set and fumbled around for a while but still


    could not find the blood vessel. Riley grabbed the infusion set from her hand and the needle was


    urately pointed to the patient¡¯s vein. She slowly did thepression.


    ¡°The patient has heartbeats again!¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson is awesome!¡±


    Riley let out a breath and looked at the nurse who was scared just now, ¡°Neer?¡±


    The nurse lowered her head, ¡°I¡­I¡¯ve juste here to intern, I¡­I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Riley did not say anything to her anymore and turned to look at Robert, ¡°Try not to ce intern nurses


    in the emergency room. If she¡¯s totally scared, her career life in the future will be ruined.¡±


    Robert rubbed the sweat on his forehead, ¡°What Dr. Watson says is true, I¡¯ll arrange it immediately.¡±


    ¡°The patient¡¯s cardiac arrest is caused by excessive nervousness. Inject the patient with a sedative to


    stabilize his emotions first, and if there is no certain problem after ten hours of observation, the patient


    can be transferred to a general ward.¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, thank you, Dr. Watson.¡±


    Riley nodded and walked out of the ward.


    The figure in white walked coolly in the corridor. The ck high heels produced clear sounds when


    touching the floor. After a dozen steps, a clear man¡¯s voice suddenly came from the ce behind her.


    ¡°Dr. Watson.¡±


    Riley stopped walking and turned her head. A thin and clean figure was standing in front of her. There


    was an outstanding temperament when he was in the simple white coat. Although he was just standing,


    his temperament would make others feltfortable as if there was a spring breeze.


    There was a gentleness in the man¡¯s eyes. His long fingers were pinching the folder of a medical


    record. He looked inexpressibly elegant and noble.


    However, Riley did not know who was he, ¡°You are?¡±

 Chapter 28 The Newcomer Is Drop Dead Gorgeous

    Chapter 28 The Neer Is Drop Dead Gorgeous


    ¡°Dr. Watson! A patient in the emergency room needs your help!¡±


    When the man was about to say something, a nurse hurriedly ran over and interrupted him with a


    nervous shout. Riley nodded to him in a hurry and ran to the emergency room.


    At the long corridor, the thin and tall figure was standing still. Looking at the woman who disappeared at


    the corner, his lips curled into a warm and pleasant smile.


    Riley used her stethoscope to learn the patient¡¯s condition. Her brows were tightly furrowed throughout


    the process.


    Her slender fingers pressed the patient¡¯s abdomen and she sensed the patient¡¯s vital signs bit by bit,


    ¡°Heart valve damage, the patient needs surgery immediately! Contact the surgeon!¡±


    ¡°Alright! Dr. Hamilton! This is¡­¡±


    The patient was pushed into the operating room by the surgeon. Riley panted and slowly sat on the


    chair. She powerlessly put her hands beside her body and quietly zoned out.


    If it was not due to the matter in the past, she could have be a surgeon and could have held a


    scalpel to save a patient from the brink of death.


    Her eyes were tiredly closed. Pictures of her memory shed in her mind wildly and apparently wanted


    to engulf all her thoughts and brain nerves like a flood and a beast.


    Her hand was tightly clenched into fists. Her slender fingers seemingly wanted to embed her skinyer


    as the skin of her palm was pinched until that deep grooves were formed.


    Due to excessive emotional agitation, perspiration started to form on her fair face. Riley felt that her


    heart was about to suffocate.


    Trying hard to pull herself back from the whirlpool of her memory, Riley rxed her palm and looked at


    the bruised marks on it due to her pinch.


    A tingle of sorrow swept over her.


    Fate?


    Perhaps this was how fate was? It liked to pull one¡¯sg.


    Riley went back to the office. Serena and Margot had just returned from the ward and there were


    smiles on their faces which showed that they were very excited. They were chatting about something.


    After Riley sat down, Serena said with a gossipy smile, ¡°Dr. Watson, your brain bes puzzled after


    being busy for half a day, right? I¡¯m infuriated by the patient until that my mind bes puzzled so I


    have found myself a refreshing gossip to amuse myself.¡±


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    As Serena said, she held her phone in front of Riley, ¡°How is it? Clear, right? Eye-catching, right? The


    paparazzi nowadays are really powerful as they can surprisingly hide outside others¡¯ houses to take


    pictures. But frankly speaking, the George¡¯s mansion is indeed luxurious! This is indeed the power of


    rich people as this house is indeed a castle! A royal castle!¡±


    Riley inadvertently narrowed her eyes. On the screen, it was the George¡¯s mansion. A house with such


    a luxurious outer appearance, top-notch design and ideal location could only be found there in the


    entire JD City.


    And the next photo was showing that Euan and Lydia were talking happily and walking out of the vi


    arm in arm. Lydia who was in a long dress looked beautiful and elegant and even the usual heavy


    makeup had been changed to light makeup. Her obedient and lovely appearance was meant to target


    the status of being a daughter-inw.


    Of course, these did not really stimte Riley. The one that made her felt that her heart was being


    pierced through was the third photo.


    On the screen, Euan personally opened the car door. The ck Bentley was parked at the entrance of


    the vi to wait for the two female owners.


    Riley looked at the picture of the family which had a warm and close rtionship in a dumbfounded


    state. A beautiful pregnant woman, an elegant mother-inw, and a handsome male owner¡­


    ¡®Lydia and Mrs. George have a close rtionship. She is weed by the George family.¡¯


    This needle-like text and picturepletely broke thest line of defence in Riley¡¯s heart.


    Euan had made up her mind to marry Lydia, right?


    ¡°Dr. Watson? What¡¯s wrong with you, Dr. Watson?¡±


    Seeing that Riley suddenly lost her mind, Serena hurriedly reached out and shook her hand in front of


    Riley¡¯s eyes.


    Riley regained her presence of mind and gave Serena the phone. She stood up shakily by holding the


    chair, ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡±


    Margot and Serena looked at each other, ¡°Is she too tired today? She has been called to go to the


    surgical ward early in the morning and has also dealt with the urgent case.¡±


    Serena nodded, ¡°Dr. Watson is our ace doctor, but an ace doctor also needs to rest and to be taken


    care of. I really hope that Dr. Watson can find a man who loves her.¡±


    All these words were heard by Riley who was standing outside the office and had no strength to move


    her feet. Her two legs were stretched and she was leaning against the wall. Riley continuously took


    deep breaths several times before she felt better.


    The time during the afternoon was rtively rxed. Riley returned from the ward. Teddy handed her a


    cup of coffee, ¡°You¡¯re tired, right? Have some coffee to rejuvenate yourself.¡±


    Riley nodded and thanked him but she put the coffee on the table without drinking it.


    ¡°Oh, Dr. Pearson, we¡¯re also women but why don¡¯t Dr. Lawson and I have this kind of treatment? We¡¯re


    also tired. We also need coffee to rejuvenate ourselves!¡±


    Teddy frowned, ¡°You two? You two surprisingly still have the confidence to say you guys are women?


    When you guys went to see the new deputy director just now, you guys almost broke your necks, right?


    Have you guys seen the real person?¡±


    The new deputy director? So, he had already arrived here?


    Serena twitched her lips, ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t give us but you surprisingly even also satirize us! Dr.


    Pearson, be careful, if we¡¯re able to find a boyfriend for Dr. Watson, you will definitely cry!¡±


    Teddy looked askance at Riley and used the action of drinking coffee to hide the embarrassment on his


    face.


    Riley¡¯s lips silently curled. So, Teddy was actually having a special thought to her? If the people in the


    office knew that she had been married for three years and her husband was Euan whom they thought


    was a wealthy man, how would the situation be like?


    ¡°Dr. Rose, you drink the coffee, my stomach is not feeling well recently, so I don¡¯t drink coffee.¡± Riley


    put the coffee on Serena¡¯s table and continued to look back at theputer screen.


    Teddy hurriedly said, ¡°Your stomach is ufortable? Do you need me to prescribe some medicine for


    you?¡±


    Margot interrupted him, ¡°Dr. Pearson, I think you don¡¯t have to worry about her? With such a good


    capability, this is just a small case for Dr. Watson! But Dr. Watson, your stomach is not feeling good but


    your eyes are okay, right? Let me tell you a secret, the new deputy director is said to look really


    handsome! Ahem, but I¡¯ve not seen him yet.¡±


    It seemed like the deputy director would have to be the core topic of the people in the hospital for


    quite a while.


    Serena already started to drink coffee and while drinking, she did not forget to tease Teddy, ¡°Dr.


    Pearson is really good at buying coffee, it¡¯s my favourite, cappino. It will be even more perfect if you


    ask the seller to add some sugar next time!¡±


    Teddy said in displeasure, ¡°You¡¯re so fat but still want to eat sugar? Be careful that nobody wants to


    marry you.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Dr. Pearson doesn¡¯t need to worry about this matter. You have to keep an eye on Dr. Watson. If


    she really marries someone else, you¡¯ll¡­haha.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t interrupt first. The afternoon meeting will introduce a new leader, can you guys put more


    attention? What deputy director, you guys know? The range of the position switching in the hospital is


    veryrge now, it¡¯s possible that today he¡¯s a deputy director but he bes a director next year! This


    matter is directly rted to our future, guys!¡±


    As if facing an enemy, Margot warned. Serena bit the paper cup and used her elbow to gently push


    Riley¡¯s arm, ¡°Dr. Watson, if this deputy director is promoted to director, maybe you¡¯ll be the deputy


    director! Are you excited?¡±


    Riley wrote the prescription while lowering her head, ¡°If you¡¯re so free, I think it¡¯s better that you go and


    think about how to handle patient number 30?¡±


    ¡°Ouch! That annoying patient¡­¡±


    The afternoon conversations in the office ended officially after Serena¡¯s moan.


    There was a meeting at 3.00 p.m. The group of people went to the conference room. All the doctors


    were chattering about the new leader¡¯s extraordinarily handsomeness and genius qualification, except


    Riley who did not say a single word as her mind was all on the news of Euan and Lydia.


    When Riley was about to reach the conference room, her phone suddenly rang.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, go to the operating room 1 immediately, the chief surgeon needs assistance.¡±


    Hearing the voice on the phone, Serena could not help but frown, ¡°Howe you also need to help in


    surgery? You¡¯re obviously an internist, you also can¡¯t help much on the operating table, right?¡±


    Riley had no time to exin and just spoke, ¡°I can¡¯t attend the meeting anymore, convey this matter for


    me.¡± Finished speaking, she strode and left.


    An unknown person spoke in a low voice, ¡°I hear that Dr. Watson was once a surgeon who used


    scalpel but then she became an internist after that with an unknown reason.¡±


    Serena and others were shocked, ¡°What! She surprisingly has a story?¡±


    Riley changed into the blue surgical uniform and walked into the operating room. The chief surgeon


    was doing the heart valve surgery. The assistant suddenly fainted just now so Riley was asked


    hurriedly toe and assist him.


    But Riley was wondering why was she chosen? There were so many people in the surgical


    department.


    Although the chief surgeon¡¯s face could not be seen, his finger skills were very skilled. It was so skilled


    that Riley felt that this was a middle-aged doctor who had undergone a hundred surgeries. The depth


    of the wound, the stitching, and the speed, were almost perfect!


    The operationsted for six hours. Riley helped the chief surgeon to wipe his sweat more than a


    hundred times but she admired him from the bottom of her heart.


    The operation ended sessfully. The patient was pushed out of the operating room. Riley was


    cleaning the surgical instrument and the familiar and clear male voice once again sounded.


    ¡°Dr. Watson.¡±


    The chief surgeon took off his mask. His face was full of sweat and he was smiling in an extremely


    gentle way.


    It was surprisingly him? The man she met outside the ICU was him.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, thanks, you¡¯ve done a great job.¡±


    His voice was clear, gentle, very nice to be heard, and could also make others feltfortable.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯re so young. When I looked at your skill just now, I thought you were already a


    middle-aged doctor.¡± Riley revealed her thought honestly and could not help but size up the man again.


    She had to admit that he was really an outstanding doctor.


    The man smiled abruptly, ¡°It isn¡¯t only age that can make a person mature, but also the number of


    times a person carries out a surgery.¡± When he spoke, there was always a smile on his face although


    the words uttered sounded bloody and disgusting if someone thought carefully about it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s formally know each other, I¡¯m William Hardesty. This is my first day to work here, nice to meet


    you.¡±


    Riley carefully thought about this name, William Hardesty? It sounded so familiar that she had


    apparently heard it somewhere.


    ¡°Hello, Dr. Hardesty. I¡¯m Riley Watson.¡± She reached out her little hand and shook hand with him.


    ¡°You must be wondering why I ask you toe and help, right?¡± After walking out of the operating


    room, William asked her while smiling.


    ¡°Of course, also, how did you know my name?¡± From the first time they met each other, he had called


    her name urately. This doubt suddenly came to her mind.


    Why did a man she did not know seem to know her so well?


    William shrugged his shoulder, ¡°You wanna know?¡±


    Riley twitched her lips. Although his skill was decent and he looked handsome, his technique of flirting


    was really terrible.


    ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t want to know.¡±

 Chapter 29 Mr. George Has Come So Early

    Chapter 29 Mr. George Has Come So Early


    ¡°I hear the nurses say that there is a person called Dr. Watson and this person has a good skill and


    always does everything herself. The way she speaks¡­is very direct and simple. I think it refers to you,


    right?¡±


    Facing Riley who obviously had no mood and spoke with an icy attitude, William was still able to


    valuable.


    They walked out one after another. Riley totally did not slow down her paces and said without even


    looking back, ¡°Since you know my personality, please don¡¯t waste time on me, Dr. Hardesty.¡±


    William did not feel angry and instead, heughed. He took two big steps forward to catch up with Riley


    and said in a manner full of apologies, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for dying Dr. Watson¡¯s normal time of getting off


    work by calling you toe over to help me.¡±


    Riley suddenly stopped her pace. There was a little exhaustion on her delicate face. Even If she was as


    invulnerable as what was rumoured, it was hard for her to hide the weary look on her face, ¡°Dr.


    Hardesty, are you going to say next that you want to buy me dinner aspensation for dying my


    time?¡±


    Her pair of crystal-clear eyes were seeing through the handsome man in front of her.


    However, William smiled. His smile was so pure that there were no w and cunningness, ¡°Dr. Watson


    wants to have a meal? I¡¯m sorry, I have an appointment tonight. How about, next time?¡±


    Riley did not expect him to reply like this. She shook her head as if relieved, ¡°No need, goodbye, Dr.


    Hardesty.¡±


    William nodded, ¡°Dr. Watson, see you tomorrow.¡±


    Riley walked out of the hospital with her famished and exhausted body. She simply bought a box of


    sandwiches at the convenience store in front of the entrance. As she was really tired and her mood


    was not good, she, a person who normally would not eat fast food, had no choice but to eat it.


    When Riley went back to the vi, she found that the atmosphere was not right. Euan, who had not


    returned for a few days had suddenlye back?


    Bah!


    He did not apany Lydia but he came here, why? Had he thought of a new method again so he


    came to humiliate her?


    She opened the door. The blindingrge chandelier caused Riley who had not adapted to the light


    subconsciously narrowed her eyes. Before she opened her eyes again, Euan¡¯s cold and stiff voice with


    obvious displeasure entered her ears.


    ¡°You¡¯re so unwilling to see me?¡±


    Riley put down her keys and bag. She raised her eyes and saw Euan who was dressed tidily in a suit.


    He was still wearing the clothes shown in the photo. His real person looked even better than that in the


    photo. The suit that was ironed meticulously was angr and he looked even more extraordinarily


    handsome in it.


    What were you thinking, Riley!


    ¡°I have an OTst minute. I don¡¯t know that you¡¯lle back,¡± Riley spoke in a tone as if she was


    reporting something. She was worn out so she just wanted to go and sleep. She did not have the


    energy to argue with him.


    Euan crossed his legs the other way round. His evil gaze was apanied by probing, ¡°Hendrix will


    Damn! Hendrix?


    Thinking of this name, Riley felt her scalp tingling. What the hell did Hendrix want to do?


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯m on duty tomorrow and I¡¯ll be back at night. When will he arrive?¡±


    Riley felt soreness in her ankles. She had stood for six hours so her calves were swelling and sore.


    She had not done the work on the operating table for quite a long time. So, sudden participation in it


    was very challenging for her.


    ¡°Tomorrow is Saturday and he will arrive in the morning. Regarding the matter in the hospital, you settle


    it yourself.¡±


    He only needed to simply speak some words to change her schedule and he looked so domineering


    that she was not allowed to say a ¡®no¡¯.


    Riley lightly harrumphed, ¡°Euan, I hope you remember what my identity is. I¡¯m a doctor, I have my own


    duties. It¡¯s impossible for me to ignore the patient in order to meet a guest. Hendrix is currently still


    jobless, right? Ask him toe over at another time.¡±


    ¡°Riley!¡±


    Euan slightly turned his head and looked into her eyes. Bolts of lightning were shing chillingly in his


    eyes, ¡°Your identity? Do you need me to help you recall what your true identity is? Bah, Dr. Watson,


    don¡¯t forget that your first identity is the young female owner of the George family, you¡¯re my wife, the


    one you have to be loyal to is the George family.¡±


    What made her felt pain in her heart was not the content of his words as she had heard these words


    too many times. Instead, what made her felt pain in her heart was Euan¡¯s tone at this moment.


    Riley braced up and mocked, ¡°Euan, I¡¯m really sorry. I almost forget that I¡¯m the young female owner of


    the George family. I almost think that the woman who apanies you all the time is your wife, thanks


    for reminding me!¡±


    Getting angry? Infuriated?


    Riley, was it true that you would only have a reaction after knowing that matter?


    Euan¡¯s fair and slender fingers tapped the arm of the sofa, ¡°Also, Lydia will have to do the maternity


    check-ups at the JD Central Hospital in the future. You fully take the responsibility for that, remember


    not to y tricks in front of me.¡±


    Riley almostughed. She gave a snort of contempt and confronted Euan. There was no fear in her


    eyes and she sneered, ¡°Euan, I specialize in cardiology. If Ms. Saunders¡¯s heart has a problem, I¡¯ll


    definitely take the responsibility to help her. As for the matter of giving birth a child, I think you have to


    find others.¡±


    Before Euan spoke, Riley clung to the handrail of the staircase and said, ¡°Luckily, Mr. George reminded


    me just now. I¡¯m the young female owner of the George family, what status does Lydia have in which I


    have to personally take care of her?¡±


    Let her take care of Lydia? Bah!


    Anika had ordered her on phone arrogantly, and he, Euan also coerced her. Did they really think that


    the young female owner of the George family who was out of favour and unrecognized would not get


    angry?


    Euan sharply sized up her and sneered, ¡°Your boldness is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that I¡¯m


    too lenient to you so you¡¯re so arrogant, huh?¡±


    Riley gripped the handrail tightly and gazed at him, waiting for the next half of his sentence.


    Euan slowly got up, tidied up his suit and walked to her within three steps, ¡°You¡¯re really not afraid of


    everything? You want to lose everything?¡±


    Riley¡¯s eyes widened inch by inch. With a little fear, she looked up at Euan¡¯s handsome cold face,


    ¡°What are you trying to say?¡±


    Euan put one hand inside his pocket and let out a regal breath, ¡°Whether the Watson family will survive


    or be ruined, it all depends on your performance. If you don¡¯t care, I¡¯ll devastate it now.¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    As if her Achilles heel was being controlled by the enemy, Riley abruptly regained her sense. Her


    arrogance and indifference just now disappeared instantly. She did have an Achilles heel and


    weakness.


    If Euan really did something to the Watson family, she could not do anything at all.


    The single word that was uttered by Riley in panic slowly brought away his depression. Euan


    emotionlessly looked askance at her cheeks that were lowered, ¡°You better remember that my patience


    is limited, I won¡¯t keep reminding you of this in advance.¡±


    Riley did not remember when Euan left. She only remembered that she stood at the stairway until that


    her legs became numb, not able to move.


    Riley''s eyes were dry like a handful of mud and sand but she could not shed a single tear.


    Euan left YJ Vi. Elijah, who was sitting in the car, did not dare to say a word.


    The car had been driven to the viaduct. As Elijah really did not know where should he drive the car to,


    he asked timidly, ¡°Boss, tonight¡­you go where?¡±


    Euan nced at him coldly. The name of a ce was going to be uttered but was drawn back again,


    ¡°Go back!¡±


    Elijah became even more bewildered, ¡°Boss¡­go¡­go back to where?¡±


    This time, Euan only gave Elijah a stern look. Elijah then risked his own life to think that Euan was


    referring to that ce.


    Seeing that Euan was so angry, he had quarrelled with Riley, right? Elijah pondered for a while. Riley


    was perhaps the only person who could infuriate Euan.


    Because the others who dared to infuriate Euan already died miserably.


    However, when Elijah risked his own life to drive the car to YJ Vi, Euan gave him a stern look again,


    ¡°Who asks you to drive me here?!¡±


    Elijah¡¯s heart was almost shattered. He fawned and smiled obsequiously, ¡°Boss¡­aren¡¯t you letting me


    go back? Not here?¡±


    ¡°You want to be fired is it?!¡±


    Elijah swallowed his saliva, ¡°Then¡­where does boss want to go?¡±


    It was already ten o¡¯clock. It was not suitable for him to drive around the city, right? What happened to


    Lydia during the day was seen by Elijah, so he knew that Euan would certainly not go there. While for


    the George¡¯s mansion, he knew that Euan was even more unwilling to go back there.


    The ce left was Grand Pce Hotel. But if Euan wanted to stay there, he would not order him to


    drive here at night.


    Boss¡¯s mind was so unpredictable. Elijah felt that being his assistant was very hard.


    Euan was depressed. He sat in the back seat silently for a moment and did not immediately give orders


    to Elijah. Through the car window, he looked at the window of the second floor with lights on.


    The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window were lowered so he could not see the figure inside. But at


    this silent night, the scene in front of him apparently had a sound. Her breath was soft while her body


    fragrance was lingering around faintly.


    It seemed that everything was within his reach but was in fact far away.


    Shit! Euan was very frustrated.


    With his wealth, power, and current status, he could easily get any kind of woman. But, he was unable


    to get Riley¡¯s heart. He felt painful to let her stay by his side but was also unwilling to let her be


    others¡¯ woman.


    ¡®Click¡¯.


    Riley turned off the bedroom light, covered herself with the nket and fell asleep.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Euan ordered while propping his head with his long fingers.


    The next day, the sky was full of ominous dark clouds while lightning struck and thunder rumbled.


    The chilly rain of the early autumn dropped on the windows, creating the sound effects of a horror


    movie. The vi with nobody around suddenly looked spooky.


    Riley got up, changed her clothes and prepared to go to the hospital as usual. The words Euan said


    The reason that he did not want to divorce her was to torment her in different ways week after week.


    She was bound to divorce him. No matter using what method and no matter what she had to pay for,


    she, Riley would absolutely not allow others to manipte her own life!


    Thinking of this, the doorbell of the vi rang all of the sudden!


    Riley went downstairs and saw the figure on the screen. She was helpless.


    Hendrix! Didn¡¯t Euan say he would arrive in the morning? But wasn¡¯t it too early? It was only seven


    o¡¯clock now!


    Hendrix stood in the rain and wind while holding an umbre. An iconic red Ferrari was parked behind


    him, ¡°Euan, Riley, have you guys gotten up? Quickly open the door, it¡¯s raining, so cold.¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth in anger. What the hell did this guy want to do!


    Seeing Hendrix¡¯s mouth opening and closing, Riley sincerely wanted to use a cloth to cover it!


    But, when she reached out and was about to open the door, her action paused abruptly!


    If she opened the door now and let Hendrix find out that Euan was not here, then he would certainly¡­


    Damn!


    Riley scratched her hair, took her phone and dialled Euan¡¯s number.


    On the other side, Euan, who was woken up by the phone, replied in a husky and sexy tone, ¡°What¡¯s


    the matter?¡±


    Riley propped one hand on the wall while closing her eyes, ¡°Hendrix is at the door of the vi now, what


    should I do?¡±

 Chapter 30 The Worm That Wakes Up Early Is Eaten by a Bird

    Chapter 30 The Worm That Wakes Up Early Is Eaten by a Bird


    On the high floor of the Grand Pce Hotel and in a luxurious private residence that upied half a


    floor, Euan was lying inside the white nket. He stretched out his lean arm andzily rubbed his brow.


    Outside the tall floor-to-ceiling window, it was half of the scenery of the city early morning. It was raining


    cats and dogs outside.


    Hearing Riley¡¯s voice on the phone, Euan¡¯s brows somehow rxed a little. This imperceptible action


    was affecting Euan¡¯s mood positively. He suddenly felt that the rainy weather outside was pretty


    wonderful.


    Riley was listening to his response seriously but she could only hear the soft rustling sound created by


    Euan whom she did not know what was he doing. Was Euan really so unwilling to talk to her? She had


    to wait for a long time to hear his response every time. Was he testing her patience or trying to make


    her lost her temper?


    Riley watched Hendrix while waiting for Euan. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. In this early


    morning, were this man and his younger brother trying to test the endurance of her heart?


    Euan slowly lifted the nket and got up. He walked barefoot to the window. His bare upper body was


    straight and the lines of his muscles were outlined clearly.


    His long fingers were patted at the ss based on the rhythm of the raindrops.


    Riley waited until she was annoyed and was about to scold someone. Euan¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°Ignore


    him, I¡¯ll handle.¡±


    So, after waiting for quite a while, he only gave her such a response?


    Riley seethed with anger and was about to hang up the phone but Euan¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°Take


    the stuff in the bathroom of the first floor upstairs, I¡¯ll use it in half an hour.¡±


    The phone was hung up directly by Euan.


    Riley looked at the phone screen and froze for three seconds. What did Euan¡¯s sentence just now


    mean?


    Euan stood still and faced the city. His lips curled slowly.


    A dozen secondster¡­


    Through the screen, Riley saw that Hendrix was answering a phone call. Hendrix¡¯s expression was at


    first quite excited but after saying three sentences, his face suddenly turned blue. Riley silently stood at


    the door watching Hendrix¡¯s various changes in expression.


    What happened suddenly? Whose phone call was so deterrent and formidable?


    Could it be Euan? She was muttering in her mind and Hendrix had already withdrawn his umbre and


    gone into the car.


    The car sped away in the rain. It seemed like there was resentment in the car.


    Riley scratched her hair and waspletely rxed. She covered her mouth and yawned. She looked


    at the bathroom of the first floor and could not help but bite her lips.


    Half an hourter.


    Riley was already dressed properly. She was washing her face and brushing her teeth. When she


    looked up, the bathroom mirror reflected Euan¡¯s exceptionally handsome face.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Riley was so shocked that she could not help but scream.


    Damn, so horrible! She was still lowering her head to spit the mouthwash and when she looked up now,


    an extra face abruptly appeared in the mirror. Although this face had a kind ofzy handsomeness, it


    was still too frightening!


    ¡°Euan, you want to scare me to death?!¡±


    Riley covered her chest with her heart pounding wildly. The matter just now really scared the crap out


    of her. Were you fucking acting as a ghost!


    Euan gazed at the woman beside him coldly and indifferently. In the mirror, their eyes looked into each


    other. Hiszy and husky voice apparently portrayed a sense that he still had not slept enough,


    ¡°Hendrix wille very soon. Take off your clothes.¡±


    There was still toothpaste foam in Riley¡¯s mouth. Awe-struck and bbergasted, she looked at Euan¡¯s


    expressionless face, ¡°Take off my clothes?!¡±


    Euan wearily leaned on the bathroom door while his back was against the ss. He spoke steadily, ¡°If


    you don¡¯t want to let him find out that we¡¯re totally not in a rtionship, follow my order.¡±


    Euan had given Hendrix a reprimand on the phone just now. He directly warned that Hendrix had


    disturbed his morning time with his wife and ordered Hendrix to go out for a drive for half an hour then


    only came back. Otherwise, he would not let Hendrix enter the vi today.


    And now, they were going to act as if they had just woken up to be shown to Hendrix.


    Riley took off her clothes and put on the nightgown. She untied her hair and deliberately somehow


    tousled it to create a messy look.


    Standing in the bedroom, Euan looked coldly at the other side during the whole process. Riley just


    thought that she was facing air and after changing her clothes, she turned around to look at Euan. He


    was wearing western trousers and a white shirt and he seemingly did not intend to change his clothes.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    When she had just uttered a word, the doorbell rang once again.


    Euan¡¯s cold face did not have a trace of unnecessary emotion. Although his voice was not loud, it was


    louder than the heavy rain outside and made her heart tremble, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you go to open the door


    now?¡±


    A simple and clearmand was given to Riley easily.


    ¡°Riley, don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯ve just woken up?¡±


    Hendrix indignantly put down the umbre and shook off the raindrops on his shoulders. After entering


    the door, he silently sized up Riley. She was wearing a nightgown and there was still a tired look on her


    face. Her hands were in the pockets of her nightgown and there was apparently a faint fragrance


    Riley opened the shoe cab at the door and casually pulled out a new pair of man¡¯s slippers from it,


    ¡°You¡¯vee over so early, Mr. George. Should Ipliment you that the early bird catches the worm


    or should I remind you that the worm that wakes up early will be eaten by a bird?¡±


    Hendrix put on the new slippers and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, ¡°No matter it¡¯s a bird or a


    worm, as long as it wakes up early. There will be food for it.¡±


    With a little scorn, he gazed at Riley with a deliberate unrestrained manner.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know you¡¯lle so early. The breakfast isn¡¯t ready yet. You want some food? There¡¯s no food.


    Go and get yourself whatever you want to drink from the refrigerator.¡±


    Hendrix twitched her lips andughed while nting his head, ¡°My elder brother is still sleeping but you


    wake up first. Riley, you¡¯re really a good woman.¡±


    The teasing tone made her felt ufortable upon hearing it.


    Had it your own way.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go up first.¡±


    ¡°Okay! Take care.¡±


    After watching Riley¡¯s figure disappear, Hendrix paced around the living room and observed.


    This was his first time toe to his elder brother¡¯s house. He naturally would first size up the overall


    furnishings and the furniture. It was elegant and simple European style and there was luxurious and


    expensive furniture that was made by a popr craftsman. The seemingly ordinary furnishings were all


    the leading products of auctions.


    Regarding this house, luxury was secondary but the main thing was Euan¡¯s thought.


    Hendrix simply picked up a porcin product and he could not help but doubt. He thought in mind that


    Euan did not pay much attention to Riley. During the day in the banquet of the George family, he could


    already see that something was wrong. But why did Euan put so much effort into this house?


    Riley opened the bedroom door and saw head-on Euan who had just finished taking a shower and was


    wrapped in a bath towel. There was only a bath towel on his waist and the water drops of his body had


    not been wiped. His wet hair was dripping with water beads. This unexpected scene made Riley¡¯s heart


    suddenly throbbed wildly.


    ¡°You, why do you¡­¡±


    ¡°Is there any problem that I get up early to take a shower?¡± Euan¡¯s fingers were stretched backward to


    fondle his thick ck hair. With the action of the fingers, water beads were flung out little by little. Some


    water beads were spilled on her face but Euan apparently did not care about it.


    Riley bit her lips, ¡°Nothing. Your brother is downstairs. Don¡¯t you go over to take a look?¡±


    Euan¡¯s eyes looked indifferent, ¡°Sure.¡±


    Finished speaking, he reached out and opened the door, preparing to go out. Riley could not help but


    ask hastily, ¡°You go out like this?¡±


    Euan did not turn his head, ¡°I¡¯m at my own house to see my own brother. How do you think I should


    be?¡±


    Bah!


    Your own house, your own brother? So, the only outsider here was her and she was the only one who


    should be careful and cautious.


    Riley turned her head and did not ask anymore. Very good, as you liked.


    Euan walked to the staircase and his long legs paced down the steps one by one, ¡°Hendrix.¡±


    Hendrix, who was ying with the porcin product, looked up and saw his elder brother. His eyes


    shed with a hint of indifference and then he shrugged his shoulders and snorted in a manner as if he


    was an immature young man, ¡°Euan, you only care about yourself to sleep and surprisingly let me


    stand in the rain outside for half an hour. Euan, you have topensate me.¡±


    With a bare upper body, Euan naturally sat on the sofa with his legs crossed on the corner of the table.


    His status as the male owner was fully shown, ¡°Say what kind ofpensation you want.¡±


    Hendrix gazed at his elder brother¡¯s appearance and thought of Riley¡¯s nightgown just now. Clear


    displeasure welled up in his heart but he still showed a smile, ¡°I saw a t dish of thete Ming Dynasty


    on the antique shelf. Its colour and style are very much to my liking, so why don¡¯t you give it to me?¡±


    The t dish of thete Ming Dynasty cost Euan more than seventy million yuan during the auction at


    that time. It was one of the collections Euan treasured a lot.


    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Hendrix raised his eyebrows, ¡°My elder brother is really generous. Regarding the matter in the morning,


    I¡¯ll let bygones be bygones!¡±


    The two of them were chatting. Riley changed clothes and walked down from the second floor. She


    was in a simple beige suit. Her waist was tied with a light red belt which showed the shape of her


    slender waist while her cor was not low. Although her body shape was visible, it still looked quite


    morally suitable for her to meet a guest.


    Hendrix looked up the stairs. A sh of light sparkled in his eyes. And Euan, who was seemingly


    holding a ss of water for a sip, noticed all Hendrix¡¯s reaction.


    After sipping a mouthful of tea, Euan hid his emotion and looked at Riley, saying, ¡°Hendrix has not


    eaten breakfast, prepare three sets of breakfast today.¡±


    Riley curled into a cold smile, and then responded softly, ¡°Alright, you guys chat first, I¡¯ll go to the


    kitchen to make breakfast.¡±


    The yacting started.


    Hendrix withdrew his gaze from Riley and asked casually, ¡°Is Riley always the one who prepares


    breakfast?¡±


    Euan nodded in a way that it was a matter of course, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Hendrix¡¯s face did not show any emotion but he was actually unhappy with it. Thinking of the matter


    that his elder brother and Riley sat together at the table every morning to enjoy the breakfast made by


    her, a dark mood came over him as if he had lost something treasured.


    Euan took a nce at the kitchen, ¡°Your sister-inw¡¯s cooking skill is inferior to the chef¡¯s skill of the


    mansion. So, you have to make do.¡±


    She personally made the soup but Euan disliked the taste of her cooking.


    Hendrix became even more annoyed.


    ¡°How can it be? I feel that Riley looks like one who¡¯s good at cooking, I¡¯m sure the food made by her is


    delicious!¡±


    Euan¡¯s thin lips twitched slightly. He put down the water cup and got up, ¡°I¡¯ll go to change my clothes


    first.¡±


    Hendrix got up and watched Euan walk upstairs. Then, he turned around and walked to the door of the


    kitchen.


    Hendrix leaned against the door frame with his arm wrapped, watching Riley¡¯s figure who was busy,


    ¡°Riley, you and my elder brother really love each other so much! But during the banquet at the


    mansion, howe I can¡¯t feel it at all?¡±


    Riley was frying an egg and her gaze remained on the pan, ¡°Oh? This matter can be noticed?¡±


    Hendrix sneered, ¡°Riley, do you really think that I don¡¯t know anything?¡±


    Riley¡¯s hand that was holding the wooden spat suddenly froze. She bit her red lips lightly, ¡°What do


    you know?¡±

 Chapter 31 The Bias Is Blatant

    Chapter 31 The Bias Is tant


    Could it be that Hendrix already knew their rtionship was bad? Or he had already known they did not


    live together? Oh yes, why would he pass by the bachelor apartment she stayedst time?


    From what she saw, Hendrix seemed to not know about anything, but could he in fact know their


    situation very well? Riley secretly made some conjectures in her mind and she waited for Hendrix¡¯s


    reply uneasily.


    ¡°So you guys have had an argument few days ago?¡± Hendrix leaned against the door and did not show


    any obvious fluctuation in emotion.


    He spoke absent-mindedly, ¡°You guys have fought when we were just having a banquet, therefore I


    nearly misunderstood your rtionship. Turns out I¡¯m wrong, you guys seem to love each other very


    much, how disappointing.¡±


    Riley¡¯s tight grasp towards the spat slightly loosened and she carefully transferred the fried egg from


    the pan to the te. ¡°Is that so. I did have some small conflicts with your brother, but it¡¯s okay now.¡±


    Hendrix nodded and seemed to understand. He then tossed another lighted bomb once again. ¡°Small


    conflicts? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s small. What happened between big brother and Lydia Saunders has stirred


    up a hot topic in the city, mom and dad have intervened in this matter. If this matter bes worse,


    Riley, I have to remind you that the overall situation would not benefit you at all.¡±


    Riley stood with her back against him and a light smile broke upon her lips. ¡°You sound like you¡¯re


    more inclined to help me. Aren¡¯t you afraid that your brother would know about this?¡±


    Hendrix rubbed his nose airily and said, ¡°Although I don¡¯t really want you to be my sister-inw, I


    dislike Lydia Saunders more. If big brother really be with her¡­¡±


    After finishing the words, he paused. ¡°Hmm? It doesn¡¯t seem that bad too.¡± Damn! And she was hoping


    he could say something nice, it seemed like she had overthought. She could not count on anyone from


    the George family. But anyway, she did not intend to count on them either.


    She distributed the three fried eggs on three white ceramic tes and toasted the bread slices. ¡°Looks


    like you¡¯re gonna be disappointed. My rtionship with your brother is very good and as for Lydia,


    she¡¯ll be good if I let her. But if she¡¯s challenged my limit, I¡¯ll naturally have ways to let her fall from


    heaven.¡±


    Hendrix¡¯s eyes kept on following the movement of her hands. She was now holding today¡¯s breakfast


    with her hands that had touched the stethoscopes. All of a sudden, his heart ached and his face


    contorted.


    ¡°You are no wonder the mistress of the George family. You sound like you have a lot of power. But don¡¯t


    you forget, Lydia Saunders has the enormous Saunders family¡¯s support, and all of them would prepare


    to make a move if anything strikes them. If the Saunders family pressurizes you, your day would be¡­¡±


    ¡°Hendrix?¡± Euan¡¯s voice was heard from the living room before Hendrix even finished speaking, and


    that coincidentally ended their conversation.


    ¡°Why, how fast, big brother. Riley¡¯s finished making the breakfast and just like you said, her cooking


    skill is only average. It¡¯spletely iparable to the cooking at our mansion.¡±


    Hendrix pouted and headed back to the living room. Riley recalled what he had not finished saying just


    now and could not help but sneer. Could she possibly be unable to offend the Saunders family? She


    was only reluctant to do so due to contempt.


    ¡°You could refuse to eat if you think it¡¯s nasty, wouldn¡¯t it be better to eat back at the mansion


    afterwards?¡± She carried the breakfast made for three out with a tray. The breakfast was simple but it


    contained bnce nutrition. The three sunny-side up eggs looked delicious with a golden egg yolk on


    top.


    Hendrix acted like a reckless child and replied, ¡°No can do. I¡¯vee all the long way here just to taste


    your lovely breakfast. That would be such a pity if I leave. I¡¯ll start eating now, hope you don¡¯t mind, big


    brother.¡± Euan lifted the milk ss and put it near his lips. ¡°Help yourself.¡±


    Seeing him going to drink the milk, Riley reminded him gently, ¡°It¡¯s not good to have milk with an empty


    stomach, do have the egg first.¡± Her reminder made Euan stopped his movement at once. His astute


    eyes moved from the seat of the dining table to the woman at his right.


    She was wearing a kind smile and was obviously acting for Hendrix. Yet her eyes looked so pure that it


    was impossible to discern any trace of pretending. He nearly thought it was his own wife¡¯s


    heartwarming reminder the moment his mind drifted away.


    Euan put down the milk right in front of Hendrix and moved the breakfast te towards him. Riley


    handed him the fork and knife just in time without any expression or saying any word. Euan¡¯s deep


    eyes swept across her hands and took over the cutleries.


    Their fingers came into contact gently above the dining table and the warmth quickly spread from the


    fingertips. Riley quickly retrieved her hand and did not look at him anymore.


    Hendrix ate the fried egg while speaking enviously and jealously, ¡°Come on, won¡¯t it be kinda bad to act


    all lovey-dovey when it¡¯s only morning? My mood now is worse than the weather outside, can¡¯t you let


    me enjoy a nice meal?¡±


    Riley sipped the milk and caught a glimpse of Euan from the corner of her eyes. He was cutting the egg


    gracefully and slowly, and putting it into his mouth. Her cooking skill was actually not bad, it was just


    that she could not show it on breakfast at all. Yet how would Euan only eat her breakfast?


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to eat with manner, you can either go back or shut your mouth.¡± Hendrix coughed and


    replied, ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll shut my mouth and eat. Oh, I¡¯m hungry. I¡¯ve been tortured for the whole


    morning and I¡¯m exhausted.¡± The torture he indicated was the fact that the married couple before him


    who was still having sex in the morning had refused to open the door for him after a long time.


    All of them ate their breakfast while having thoughts in their mind. The awkward meal was finally


    finished after that and Riley washed the tes in the kitchen. Hendrix caressed his stomach and


    asked, ¡°Big brother, since Riley is such a good wife, why should you hook up with Lydia Saunders? If


    you truly love Riley, you shouldn¡¯t mess with her.¡±


    Euan flipped open the financial newspapers to look at the stock market condition. Without looking up,


    he said, ¡°Hendrix, you don¡¯t need to intervene in adults¡¯ business.¡±


    Hendrix said, ¡°¡­big brother, you knew what I meant. Lydia does not approach you for nothing. I hope


    you don¡¯t get cheated by her. Riley is a good woman, if you¡­¡±


    ¡°Hendrix, don¡¯t let me remind you the second time, it¡¯s my business, and you don¡¯t need to intervene.


    And, dad wants you to learn management from me, so which department do you want to go to?¡±


    Euan clearly did not want to discuss about the matter anymore and he digressed the topic of


    conversation. ¡°I¡¯m not clear of thepany¡¯s department. But, the so called learning is just to get an


    easy position for fun in thepany. You could just allocate it for me, I trust you.¡± Hendrix giggled.


    Euan looked up and glimpsed at his little brother whom he had not seen for five years and asked,


    ¡°Hendrix, you¡¯ve studied two years of business management in New York, now you¡¯re telling me to just


    give you any job? Are you lying to me or lying to yourself?¡±


    Hendrix replied in a yful way, ¡°I was only having fun at school those two years and I¡¯ve never paid


    attention to studies.¡± Euan flipped one page of the newspapers and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve never studied


    well, I¡¯ll find you a local school so you can finish university first. As for internship, we¡¯ll see after the


    school is settled.¡±


    Hendrix frowned hard and he objected reluctantly, ¡°You want me to continue study here? The reason I


    quitted university in the States is because I really don¡¯t want to study further.¡±


    ¡°Either go back to New York to finish university or get a university degree here, you choose.¡± Euan did


    not sound like he wanted to discuss with him at all and Hendrix certainly did not dare to argue any


    further. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll continue my studies here.¡±


    Being checkmated by his brother, Hendrix immediately became yful once again. ¡°Big brother, dad


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    says you¡¯re a member of the yacht club, and the club is difficult to join. Why don¡¯t you lend me your


    member identity? I want to have some fun.¡± Euan threw him a cold glimpse and said, ¡°You only think of


    having fun when you¡¯ve just returned to the country? No way.¡± Alright, checkmate again.


    Riley walked out of the kitchen. Seeing the two brothers chatting with each other, she could barely


    maintain the smile on her face. ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything more to do today? Hendrix.¡± What she meant


    was since he had already filled his stomach, he should leave now.


    Hendrix took a newspaper to read. ¡°I want to learn with big brother. Plus it¡¯s raining heavily today, and


    there¡¯s not much fun outside. Could Riley possibly want to chase me out?¡± Riley gritted her teeth and


    replied with a false smile, ¡°Why would I.¡±


    Just then, Euan¡¯s monotonous phone ringtone rang. Riley and Hendrix both saw the name on the


    screen almost at the same time and they kept quiet with tacit understanding.


    ¡°I¡¯m busy.¡±


    ¡°Today?¡± Euan glimpsed at the time but Riley still felt his eyes were moving towards her slightly.


    ¡°Okay.¡± He hung up and closed the newspapers. ¡°Hendrix, get back first. You cane another day.¡±


    ¡°Big brother¡­¡±


    ¡°Go back.¡±


    ¡°¡­alright.¡±


    After chasing Hendrix back, Riley finally let down her kind-wife look and said with a false smile, ¡°So you


    want to go meet Lydia Saunders? Great, I can go to work too.¡±


    Euan secretlyined that she was being so impatient that her tone of voice and attitude had


    drastically changed in a split second. He grasped his coat tightly and only put it on after ncing at her


    coldly for a few seconds. ¡°I¡¯m going to the hospital. She¡¯s having a pregnancy checkup today.¡±


    ¡°Her? Oh¡­¡±


    ¡°So you have toe with me.¡±


    Riley pointed at herself and asked, ¡°Me?¡±


    Euan replied with an imposing manner, ¡°Any problem?¡±


    Riley sneered. Who was she to say? After getting into the car, she sat at the front passenger¡¯s seat and


    the car drove straight towards the vi of the Saunders family. Euan did not intend to go in and he only


    made a phone call to ask Lydia toe out. As Lydia was heading towards the front passenger¡¯s seat,


    she was surprised to see Riley sitting there, and there was an instant change in her expression. ¡°Euan,


    what¡¯s going on? Why is she here?¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s a doctor, and she can take better care of you.¡± He replied frigidly and domineeringly. Riley


    nced at her gloomy face ndly and said, ¡°Miss Saunders, the pregnancy checkup procedure is


    veryplicated. Please hurry up and get into the car.¡±


    An indifferent attitude again! Lydia pulled the car door open indignantly and got into the car. The front


    passenger¡¯s seat which was supposed to be hers was now taken by Riley and there was rage


    simmering inside her that needed to be released! ¡°Riley Watson, my child and I don¡¯t need your care,


    get out of the car!¡± Lydia had obviously made herself the woman-in-charge with that menacing attitude.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Miss Saunders, it¡¯s my mother-inw who asked me to do it. She asked me to take care of


    you and the child. If you want another person to do the job, I¡¯m afraid you have to tell her yourself.¡±


    Euan frowned and asked, ¡°Mom said that?¡± Riley nodded a little. ¡°Yes, mom called me via phonest


    night.¡±


    He actually pretended to be uninformed about that? Euan, your acting skill had worsened. Lydia quickly


    straightened her back and said while staring at Euan¡¯s back, ¡°Euan, I¡¯ve troubled your mother that she


    cares for me and the baby so much. Mrs. George has made several phone calls to me these days, she


    kept on asking the baby¡¯s condition and even wanted me to go to the George¡¯s house. Oh Mrs.


    George¡­¡±


    Euan ignored her and asked, ¡°So you¡¯ve agreed?¡± He was saying that to Riley. ¡°Yes.¡± How could she


    not agree? It was obvious she was bullied by his dear mother and his mistress. How could he not


    notice that? Lydia was on cloud nine and her eyes were brimmed with joy.


    ¡°Then I shall thank Doctor Watson for your hard work, the baby¡¯s and my safety are in your hands.¡±


    Euan held the steering wheel and steered the car to the side. The hospital was right at the front. ¡°Since


    the task is handed to you, you should be responsible of it then.¡±


    Riley clearly did not expect him to advocate their action too. ¡°You really think so too?¡± With thest bit


    of hope she had, she spoke with her voice trembled. It would be good if he could say anything that


    showed some care, or maybe even just a few words¡­Euan stopped the car and he opened the car


    door for Lydia the moment he got out of the car. Lydia held his arm in delight and sneered at her. And


    she only heard his voice after a long time. ¡°I do. Since Doctor Watson likes to rescue patients, how


    could I not give you the chance?¡±

 Chapter 32 Damn, I was Hurt Again

    Chapter 32 Damn, I was Hurt Again


    The arrival of a popr celebrity at the hospital for a pregnancy checkup was already big news that


    could shake the whole city, not to mention solely with the influence of the name, Lydia Saunders could


    already dominate the front page of the newspapers.


    There was no need to exin more on the sensation and the influence given when the president of the


    MBK International Corporation, Euan George also kept herpany. Although both of them, or maybe


    including Riley, three of them had stayed low profile by driving the car straight into the underground


    garage, they did not manage to escape from the journalists¡¯ encircling.


    Upon seeing Euan¡¯s luxurious Rolls-Royce car stopping, a bunch of journalists filed in as if they were a


    bunch of sharks which had discerned the smell of blood. Riley who was in the car slightly wrinkled her


    eyebrows.


    She was just an ordinary citizen and until now, she was absolutely an outsider of the incident. Seeing


    the looming journalists surrounding the car with microphones and cameras in their hands tightly, she


    felt amused and frustrated at the same time. Euan also frowned. He turned back and nced at Lydia.


    ¡°We can¡¯t go out now. There¡¯re too many people. It¡¯s dangerous.¡±


    His care was certainly useful against her and she nodded with a warm, gentle smile. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you


    and wait for a while in the car.¡± Riley pouted with a carefree attitude. ¡°From their look, I think they won¡¯t


    give up in such a short time. Could popr celebrities not know how horrifying the professionalism of


    the journalists working in entertainment is?


    They could stay here for the whole day without eating or drinking. Therefore just staying in the car


    won¡¯t solve the problem.¡± Euan then only glimpsed at her listlessly and his cold voice did not show any


    emotion. ¡°You sound like you have a way to solve the problem?¡±


    Riley frowned and as she just opened her mouth, Lydia chimed in, ¡°Maybe you don¡¯t know, but she¡¯s


    good at dealing with these matters. She was the one who chased the journalists blocking the corridor


    away when I visited you in the hospitalst time.¡±


    Riley let out a grim smile. So she would not give up until she seized an opportunity to betray her? How


    good memory she had! ¡°Euan, I think we should let Doctor Watson handle the matter this time. She¡¯s


    the doctor here, and she¡¯s very experienced.¡± Lydia always spoke with a soft and gentle voice. Her


    sweet and pretentious voice nearly made Riley vomited due to disgust when she heard it.


    As Riley had not calmed down her stomach yet, she heard Euan¡¯s deep voice slowlying from the


    side. ¡°Since you¡¯re that experienced, I¡¯ll let you take care of the journalists outside.¡± She slowly opened


    her eyes and replied, ¡°Me?¡±


    ¡°Why? It¡¯s your ce, could you possibly want me to deal with it myself?¡± he spoke with authority and


    had rejected her chance to exin. Riley gently bit her lip. He wanted her to stay safely in the car but


    her to deal with those predators outside? She let out a grim smile and loosened her seat belt.


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll go.¡± As she opened the car door, her skinny figure was drowned amidst the sea of journalists


    who were pushing against each other madly. She who was not short was banged and pushed in the


    middle of the journalists whoposed of both men and women, and there were several times which


    her legs were not on the ground!


    ¡°Miss Saunders! With Mr. George sends you here for pregnancy checkup, does that mean the good


    news is just around the corner?¡±


    ¡°Mr. George, Miss Saunders has mentioned wanting to endorse the jewellery products of MBKtely,


    would that be suspended because of this?¡±


    ¡°Mr. George, would the production of Miss Saunders¡¯ new movie cease too? Rumors say you¡¯ll


    Barrage of questions from the journalists stormed into the car through the door which was not yet


    closed. Euan held the door handle with his long hand and his fierce look was shot across the crowd.


    The white shadow was staggering amidst the mad, zombie-like journalists.


    Suddenly, Riley let out a scream. Her scream was not loudpared to the mix of questioning sounds,


    yet Euan still wrinkled his eyebrows. He mmed the door next to the front passenger¡¯s seat shut and


    gripped the door handle at the left subconsciously.


    ¡°Euan, those journalists are too scary. I¡¯m slightly worried of the baby¡­¡± A soft voice came from


    behind. The helplessness and grievance arouse one¡¯s sympathy. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯ll handle it well.¡±


    Euan once again nced at the crowd, but Riley was nowhere to be found anymore.


    Riley gasped when she felt the pain from her knee. The wound on her knee which was going to form


    scar was abraded once more from the banging just now and the sharp pain spread through her whole


    body from the knee.


    Luckily she had finally made her way out of the crowd! She endured the pain and straightened her


    back, moving her legs which were covered by long pants and looked for the security guards. A dark


    shadow dashed before her and she felt a moment of ckout. As she looked up once again, she saw


    the wless face with a gentle look above her at the side. ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    William held her who was going to fall with one hand. ¡°Me? I waste, and I didn¡¯t expect to witness


    such a scene. What about you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. I have to look for the security guards to chase the journalists away first. Lydia Saunders is in


    the car.¡±


    William looked down and lifted his eyebrow when he saw her long pants drenched with blood. ¡°Your


    knee needs to be treated now, I¡¯ll help you upstairs.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, go find the security guards first. Lydia Saunders ising for a pregnancy checkup today, if


    anything happens to her, it would be a bad influence to the hospital.¡± Riley refused and she wanted to


    remove his arm.


    William frowned more. ¡°I don¡¯t know Lydia Saunders, but your knee needs to be treated immediately.


    From the color of the blood, the wound must havested more than two days. Come with me.¡± Facing


    Riley¡¯s stubbornness, Doctor Hardesty could only apply the basic principle a doctor should have to


    force her to get treatment.


    The action of him putting his hand on Riley¡¯s shoulder and back to hold her up was seen by Euan.


    Euan¡¯s fingers trembled and he who was inside the car wrinkled his eyebrows. He did not expect that


    woman was living such a fantastic life in the hospital.


    ¡°Doctor Hardesty, call the guards! I¡¯m asking you to call the guards!¡± Riley struggled and nearly tossed


    William away. Feeling startled, William replied, ¡°Okay, you stay here. I¡¯ll make a phone call now.¡±


    Phone call? Oh shit, she was so angry that she had forgotten she could actually make a phone call! It


    was just that before William¡¯s call could get through, the door of the Rolls-Royce car was suddenly


    pushed open by Euan.


    ¡°Mr. George! Mr. George! What is the rtionship between you and Miss Saunders now?¡± Riley turned


    around and her enthusiastic eyes met his cold eyes. She could see the tant disgust in his eyes.


    Lydia was shocked when Euan suddenly got out of the car.


    She then pushed the door open and got out. Riley drew a cold breath when she saw her nearly pushed


    by the journalists. But she quickly realized in grievance that her worry was pointless when Euan


    protected her perfectly in his arms. ¡°What rtionship? You¡¯ll know after some time. For now, please


    don¡¯t dy Lydia¡¯s checkup. If any harm is caused because of your disturbance, I¡¯ll definitely take the


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    necessary actions.¡±


    Riley squeezed William¡¯s suit¡¯s cor. She stood away from the crowd and gazed silently at the man


    and woman who were hugging each other. She was filled with deep grievance and her eyes were filled


    with boiling tears. How amusing.


    Didn¡¯t he pretend that he did not want to be disturbed by the press? What did it mean when he was so


    carefree to admit it now?


    He said he wanted her to find the security guards, but in fact he only wanted to shove her off to avoid


    her getting the journalists¡¯ attention. Why should it be thatplicated? If he wanted to be with his love


    one, she could just quit.


    Euan¡¯s imperative tone of voice made the crowd felt a chill down their spines. Although they were


    reluctant to let go of such a good chance, they did not dare to badger him any longer and they slowly


    moved away to form a narrow path in between, following the two who were hugging each other tightly


    to the lift.


    The journalists all made phone calls excitedly to report the new findings and the crowd scattered soon


    after that. ¡°Doctor Watson?¡± William called and the woman who was grabbing him only then reacted.


    She loosened his cor in a hurry and quickly tidied her emotions. She spoke so coldly as if she had


    encountered her enemy, ¡°Why are you still here?¡±


    William was speechless at once. ¡°How could I move when you¡¯re grabbing my cor?¡± Riley recovered


    her usual distant and apathetic manner. She kept a distance from him and said, ¡°Okay, you can go


    now.¡± William burst intoughter. ¡°I can¡¯t go now, because my patient¡¯s right here, and I have to


    guarantee my patient¡¯s safety.¡±


    Patient? As she looked around, she suddenly felt her legs being lifted and her arms were mped by


    his strong big hands. ¡°Doctor Hardesty! What are you doing?¡±


    ¡°Treating you.¡±


    Euan and Lydia¡¯s arrival had nearly attracted the attention of all the doctors and nurses from the


    obstetrics and gynecology department. Half of them were giving service while the other half was just to


    watch the fun. The new nurses were exhrated and they were so eager to see the idols in person. If


    not because of the supervisor of the department still had some rationalities, the whole department


    would only serve Lydia specially.


    William forcibly pressed Riley down onto a chair of an office of the emergency room. ¡°The wound on


    your knee needs to be sterilized and the blood has to be stopped. If you still want your pants, you¡¯ll


    have to¡­¡±


    ¡°No need. Just cut it open,¡± Riley said curtly and William smiled when he heard that. ¡°You¡¯re truly a


    legend.¡± Riley looked up to him and replied, ¡°Thanks.¡± William held a pair of scissors and pinched one


    corner of her pants. He adjusted the position of the scissors and cut horizontally right above the wound.


    Seeing the bloody wound, he chuckled. ¡°It¡¯ll hurt when I treat you, do bear with it.¡±


    ¡°Can you treat it or not? If you can, please hurry. If you can¡¯t, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± How talkative!


    William knelt on the ground and he ced one of his hands on her knee. As a surgeon, his fingers


    were clean and long. His fingers were pleasant to see and his nails were neatly cut. It was difficult to


    forget his hands after one sight. ¡°Of course I can. Do bear with it.¡±


    He squeezed a cotton ball and touched the wound with it. The sterilizing process was very painful that


    her flesh and skin were going to tear apart. It was not hard to imagine the level of pain, yet Riley did not


    utter a sound as she gritted her teeth. William was surprised and he asked, ¡°Does it hurt?¡±


    ¡°Do you want to have a try?¡±


    ¡°Me? Forget about it.¡±


    William was quick in treating wounds. It only hurt for a while during the sterilizing process and it was


    actuallyfortable after that. His bandage wrapping looked nicer than hers before and it did not affect


    her movement at all. With this his professional skills were entirely shown.


    ¡°Thanks Doctor Hardesty. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go upstairs now.¡± Riley stood up and wanted to


    leave after saying that. William kept away his tools and smiled amiably. ¡°You don¡¯t sound grateful,


    Doctor Watson.¡±


    ¡°Sorry, that¡¯s the only way I speak. It¡¯s up to you whether you ept it or not.¡± As she finished her


    words, she walked without caring her torn apart, bloody pants. One of her legs was ced outside the


    entrance. William looked at the medicine bottle in his hand and let out a wry smile. ¡°Doctor Watson,


    what rtionship do you have with those two who were surrounded by the journalists just


    now?¡±

 Chapter 33 Heartsick, Because the Heart Has Turned Bad

    Chapter 33 Heartsick, Because the Heart Has Turned Bad


    Her other leg which not yet crossed the entrance stayed inside the room. Riley looked at the people


    who were passing by in front of the emergency room with an expressionless face and said airily,


    ¡°They¡¯re just someone I encounter by ident.¡±


    Oh? Just encounter by ident? From her nervous look just now, and how she was so anxious to ask


    the security guards toe to the scene, it did not seem to be the case. William shrugged. ¡°Is that


    so¡­¡± He passed by her and shoved the medicine bottle into her hand. ¡°Apply the medicine at night,


    and your wound has to avoid contact with water these days. Don¡¯t carry out strenuous exercises. If


    your wound is torn apart again, it might leave a scar.¡±


    Riley took over the bottle and glimpsed at it. ¡°Are you doubting my medicinal knowledge?¡± William


    smiled without saying yes or no. ¡°No, I¡¯m doubting your ability to take actions. Old wound follows by the


    new, if you still want to wear skirts, you better mind your knee these days.¡± After finishing reminding


    her, he left without waiting for her to take a step out, leaving her watching his back. Riley sneered.


    What cool personality he had.


    As Riley had just finished treating her wound and was going to take the lift to go to the cardiology


    department, a bunch of people suddenly swarmed into the lift and she was forced to the very corner.


    She moved her knee slightly backwards and thought it was indeed her responsibility to take care of her


    own knee. ¡°Did you see Lydia Saunders just now? Oh my gosh, she¡¯s really beautiful! She even looks


    prettier than when on TV, especially her heart-shaped face!¡± Oh is she? What¡¯s so pretty of that


    cunning face?


    ¡°And she¡¯s slim too! She looks like she only weighs 85 pounds at most! And she even has long legs,


    I¡¯m jealous!¡± Long legs? Riley sneered. She was two centimeters taller than Lydia in heights. ¡°That¡¯s


    not the only thing! She¡¯s sexy too! She does not have any fat over her body and they¡¯re all stored in her


    breasts and hips! She has a nice body!¡± This? Riley looked at herself and moved her eyes away.


    As Riley finished changing her clothes in the changing room, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She


    tidied her cor with one hand and picked up the phone with another. Seeing the name that was


    shining on the screen, her heart leapt. She took two breaths to calm herself down and answered the


    call. ¡°Hello?¡±


    ¡°Where are you?¡± His tone of voice exactly resembled the way a supervisor talked to his subordinate,


    impatient and frustrated. The message Euan wanted to convey to her was he really disliked her! Riley


    tidied up her clothes and attached a pen on it. ¡°I¡¯m at the duty room.¡±


    ¡°Come here now.¡±


    ¡°¡­I have to go to work, the patients are waiting.¡±


    ¡°Then let them wait. Come upstairs now.¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡±


    ¡°Riley Watson, don¡¯t test my patience. I give you three minutes.¡±


    ¡°Hey¡­¡± The phone was hung up and she was avoided of any chance to reply. She stared at the screen


    and let out an aggrieved grim smile. He wanted to torture her, humiliate her and make her embarrassed


    in the three-people rtionship.


    He actually dared to use such a despicable trick! She shoved her phone into the pocket of her white


    coat with hatred and headed towards the lift with a frigid and indignant look. Nurses who passed by her


    all lowered their heads and no one dared to utter a word. ¡°Ma¡­Doctor Watson, you¡¯re here.¡± She was


    surprised that Euan was not there when she reached the obstetrics and gynecology department and


    there was only Elijah waiting outside the entrance.


    Riley nodded and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Euan?¡±


    ¡°Mr. George has left due to some matters. I¡¯m waiting for Miss Saunders here. Mr. George is worried


    that something would happen to Miss Saunders and he wants you to keep herpany here.¡± Riley


    tightened her clenched fists in her pockets and replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Elijah nced at her. It was the first


    time he saw her wearing the white coat in person.


    Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and her clean and pale forehead was shown, highlighting her


    heart-shaped face that made her looked younger than her actual age. Her skinny body was d in


    immacte white coat, and with her deft and neat appearance, she inevitably gave him afortable


    feeling. But that was just his feeling. Who knew how Mr. George would think of her?


    After waiting for more than half an hour, Lydia finally came out after the checkup was done. Elijah stood


    with his hands at his sides. Seeing Euan not there when she came out, and Riley was there instead,


    Lydia felt annoyed. She handed the checkup report to Riley and said, ¡°The report¡¯se out, Doctor


    Watson. Do help me have a look.¡± Riley flipped it and basically knew the situation after having a look


    through. ¡°The fetus¡¯s development is good, and the result for every criterion looks nice.¡±


    Lydia crossed her arms before her chest and sneered. ¡°Doctor Watson, you better have a closer look. If


    anything happens to me and the baby, how should you be held responsible?¡± As she said thest word,


    she moved her eyes to her abdomen and made a cold sarcastic remark in contempt.


    The veins on Riley¡¯s hand bulged and she had another look through of the result once again while


    tightening her grasp on the report. ¡°You¡¯re slightly anemic and you could fix that by having


    supplements. It would be alright to pay more attention to your daily diets and remember not to be picky


    during pregnancy. The diet must be a mix of vegetables and meat, and the nutrition must be bnce.


    Pay attention to protein consumption, and appropriate proportion of fat could help in fetus¡¯s


    development.¡±


    Lydia sneered. ¡°Fat? Doctor Watson, I¡¯m an artist. Artists can¡¯t get fat. Are you trying to ruin my career?


    As for the anemic part, I can take drugs.¡± Riley nced at her abdomen and said, ¡°The fetus is only five


    weeks old and it¡¯s unstable. Pregnant women can¡¯t simply take any drugs. Miss Saunders, getting


    pregnant is a risk of its own, it might get your body out of shape.¡±


    Lydia sneered. ¡°Sounds like you¡¯ve gotten pregnant before! I¡¯m afraid that somebody would love their


    body to get out of shape; it¡¯s just that they didn¡¯t get a chance to do so! Don¡¯t you forget, Doctor


    Watson, many eyes are watching this child. You better figure how to nurse my health!¡± Riley handed


    the checkup report to Elijah and said, ¡°Miss Saunders has been tired due to the checkup, please bring


    her back to rest.¡±


    ¡°Doctor Watson, my child has developed normally and grown well, are you disappointed?¡±


    ¡°Miss Saunders, it¡¯s better for pregnant women not to be so calcting and overthink, it will affect


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    the baby¡¯s intellect. Mr. Parker, could you send her out now?¡± Elijah stooped and said, ¡°Miss Saunders,


    pleasee with me.¡±


    After Lydia left, a bunch of doctors and nurses were raring to inquire in a cautious manner. ¡°Doctor


    Watson? Could it be you know Lydia Saunders? From the way you talked just now, you two seem to


    know each other well.¡±


    With an indifferent attitude, Riley replied, ¡°You guys have nothing to do anymore? If you have time to


    gossip, why don¡¯t you finish your own stuff first?¡± The junior nurses all kept quiet the moment she


    spoke. The soft discussion voices were only heard when the sound of her footsteps faded as she


    walked away.


    ¡°Doctor Watson, why do youe sote? The deputy director hade just now, he seemed


    disappointed when he didn¡¯t see you, I wonder what happened.¡± Serena held a patient logbook in her


    arms and blinked.


    Instead of a caring look, she looked like she was more into gossips. Margot giggled. ¡°Someone said the


    movie star chatted amiably with you for a long while after the checkup! I was curious and baffled, it¡¯s


    still reasonable that the surgical department asks for your help, as it always concerns the heart after all.


    Yet as for the obstetrics and gynecology department, they¡¯repletely none of our business.¡±


    ¡°Oh! Could it be my idol has problem in her heart? Doctor Watson, what¡¯s wrong with Lydia Saunders?¡±


    Riley nced at the time lethargically and was ready to go look for the deputy director. ¡°She indeed has


    a bad heart.¡±


    ¡°Gosh! Is it true? Is it serious? Is there a need to stay in the hospital? I wonder whether I¡¯m eligible


    enough to be her attending doctor.¡±


    Riley let out a soft chuckle. ¡°You can¡¯t save her. Her illness has spread all over her body, it¡¯s a


    malignant tumor.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Without caring for Serena¡¯s dramatic exmation, she turned and walked out of the office.


    Inside the deputy director¡¯s office, David who was wearing a big smile gestured her to sit when he saw


    her came in. ¡°Riley, you¡¯re the brightest junior doctor in the cardiology department, the director and I all


    have high expectations of you.¡± They were just some courteous words, and she acted attentive when


    she did not really care about it. ¡°Thank you, Doctor Hamilton. I wonder why did you look for me?¡±


    ¡°Oh yes, I do have something for you.¡± He took a few papers stapled together from the desk and said,


    ¡°This is the application form of our hospital for the professor assessment this year, do fill this up.¡±


    Feeling surprised, Riley asked, ¡°I thought only those thirty and above are eligible to apply? I still have


    few years before I reach thirty.¡±


    ¡°No, no, this year¡¯s evaluation criterion is the clinical result. We¡¯ve seen your performance, but you still


    and Riley nodded with deference. ¡°Thank you, Doctor Hamilton. I¡¯ll do my best.¡±


    ¡°Good, you can get back to your own work now.¡±


    Riley flipped and looked at the form as she walked. She froze upon seeing one of the sessions asking


    for her rtionship status. Everybody in the hospital thought she was still single and she too would


    sometimes forget she actually had a husband. She frowned when she was asked to write about that. Is


    she still considered married when the marriage did not look like one, and even her own husband did


    not acknowledge it?


    During the next day at the hospital, Riley headed towards the office while reading the patient records


    after settling her tedious work. Her way was blocked by a shadow and with her eyes still lowered, she


    saw theer¡¯s clean and shiny shoes. The moment she budged to the side, theer also did the


    same and blocked in front of her. After repeating for a few times, Riley finally kept away the records


    impatiently and looked up. ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Hendrix¡¯s frivolous handsome face gradually zoomed in right before her and he grinned. ¡°What are you


    looking, Riley? You look so serious.¡± He leaned to the front wanting to see what she was looking yet


    Riley deliberately hid it behind. ¡°Why are youing here again?¡± Hendrix covered his chest and


    coughed severely. ¡°I¡¯ve really fallen sick this time. My chest is tight and I can¡¯t breathe. I feel weak and I


    feel so ufortable. Please have a look at me.¡±


    This trick again! Does this rich boy have anything else to do? Riley walked away without paying


    attention to him. Hendrix chased after her and continued, ¡°Riley, you can¡¯t be that coldblooded, can


    you? I¡¯m really having a severe illness now. Look at my face, my tongue, aren¡¯t they looking


    abnormal?¡±


    Riley sped up her footsteps instead and said, ¡°Hendrix, if you dare mess around here again, I¡¯ll tell your


    big brother.¡± Hendrix pouted and both of them had reached the lift at the same time. ¡°Riley, don¡¯t you


    have any response when my big brother brought Lydia Saunders here for checkup?¡±


    He had actuallye for this matter? Riley pressed the lift button heading downstairs and continued to


    reply indifferently, ¡°What response should I give? Cry and yell that I want to kill myself? I don¡¯t have


    time for that. If you want to watch the fun, you can watch it at the square at 9pm.¡±


    Hendrix choked. He was dissed. ¡°How would watching a bunch of grandmas dancing be more fun than


    watching you acting cool? I¡¯m feeling aggrieved for you, could you possibly be willing to get trampled by


    Lydia Saunders? Are you willing to watch her reaching her goal with her bulging stomach?¡±


    The door of the lift opened and Riley walked in. ¡°You¡¯re not here to watch the fun, but to encourage me


    to deal with the other mistress?¡±


    ¡°Exactly! You¡¯re smart as expected. But, I know you¡¯re busy, and you¡¯re kind-hearted, therefore I¡¯ve


    figured out a way for you, and I guarantee Lydia Saunders would not dare to bother you anymore!¡±


    Riley glimpsed at him from the corner of her eyes with a doubtful look. ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°I knew you¡¯ll be interested! But, if I help you deal with Lydia Saunders, I hope you can promise me one


    thing.¡±

 Chapter 34 Why Don’t You Be Gentle This One Time?

    Chapter 34 Why Don¡¯t You Be Gentle This One Time?


    Hendrix actually wanted to make a deal with her? Riley looked at the numbers which kept on


    decreasing and said listlessly, ¡°You¡¯re wrong, I¡¯m not interested at all.¡± Hendrix almost went bananas.


    He cupped his head with both his hands and gave a whirl. ¡°No way! How would you not be interested?


    Lydia Saunders wants to steal your man, don¡¯t you want to make her feel the same way as you did?¡±


    Riley still kept a calm expression and there was a little of a doctor¡¯s astuteness and alert in her eyes.


    ¡°Mr. George, aren¡¯t you behaving too enthusiastic? Your big brother and I will solve the matter between


    us and you need only to mind your own business.¡±


    Hendrix did not want to give hisst chance away, he seized the sleeve of her coat and reminded her in


    a cautious way, ¡°Riley, Lydia Saunders is not just somebody. If you let her do as she wants now, she¡¯ll


    really take your ce in the future. I wonder is it because you don¡¯t care about the ce as the


    mistress of the George family, or because you don¡¯t care about my big brother?¡± It turned out he was


    not here only to make a bargain with her, but to inquire about the situation.


    The door of the lift was going to open, and Riley let out a profound smile. ¡°I believe our feelings with


    each other will not be affected by outsiders. If this is your main purpose, Mr. George, I¡¯m busy, and I¡¯ll


    not keep you furtherpany.¡±


    Hendrix pulled his hair and slightly let out a smile. He quickly chased after her. The nurses and doctors


    of the cardiology department kept on greeting her and Hendrix also grinned in return as if they were


    greeting him too. ¡°Alright, alright, I do have something to ask from you. Big brother wants me to apply


    for universities, and I need to provide a body checkup, that¡¯s why I¡¯m here looking for you.¡±


    ¡°Hello, Doctor Watson¡­¡±


    ¡°Good morning, Doctor Watson.¡± Nurses lowered their heads and greeted as both of them passed by.


    Riley nodded as a reply and continued, ¡°For the blood checkup part you can just let the doctor from the


    medical department to give you a checkup slip, the result will be out in three days.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you a doctor from the medical department?¡±


    Riley looked at him with impatience and said, ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Thanks Riley!¡±


    ¡°Call me Doctor Watson.¡±


    ¡°Sure, Doctor Riley.¡±


    Riley gave him a cold re. ¡°I¡¯m a doctor here, I hope Mr. George could pay attention to that.¡±


    Hendrix had paid his second visit to the office. Serena and Margot gave each other a look. That


    handsome guy obviously had an unusual purpose! Riley typed on the keyboard and handed Hendrix


    the printed slip. ¡°You need to be empty-stomached when taking blood. If you¡¯ve had breakfast today,


    you cane again tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve not had breakfast.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    Hendrix stooped and came close to her ear. ¡°After I¡¯ve finished taking blood, we should have lunch


    together.¡± Riley took out a folder to look at the patient report and said gruffly, ¡°I¡¯m busy, it¡¯s my turn on


    duty this afternoon. Don¡¯t you need to leave now?¡±


    Hendrix fiddled with the essories on her office desk and said with a low voice, ¡°Riley, do consider


    my suggestions. It¡¯s not easy to deal with Lydia Saunders.¡± Riley sneered. ¡°I think you¡¯re the one who¡¯s


    not easy to deal with. Hurry up and take your blood. The blood-taking room closes at half past eleven.


    If you can¡¯t make it due to the queue that¡¯s it.¡±


    Hendrix was chased away. Serena and Margot both felt a rush of grievance and annoyance. ¡°How


    could you not cherish such a good-looking handsome boy? He obviously has his eyes set on you!


    Doctor Watson, being a cradle-snatcher is nothing, do consider about that.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to do? If you don¡¯t go finish the report of the department for the end of this


    month, I¡¯m now as busy as a beaver.¡±


    ¡°Hell no, I still have patients to look after. Damn, the handsome guy was chased away by a fierce


    woman. I¡¯m feeling really depressed now!¡±


    ¡°We won¡¯t have chance to seduce such a perfect man like Euan George, it would be good if we have


    such a young, fit handsome guy! Poor kid, why are you being so foolish, won¡¯t it be so good if you get


    toe into my arms!¡± Riley pressed down the head of the ballpoint pen and wavered into her


    thoughts. Euan¡­Yes, to the outsiders, he was indeed the paradigm of a perfect man. Her smile froze,


    but so what?


    The phone which she ced on her desk suddenly vibrated and the call was made from the


    emergency room. ¡°Doctor Watson, doe here quick, there¡¯s a patient needing emergency


    treatment.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± She let go of the mouse and rushed outside. ¡°What¡¯s the patient¡¯s condition now?¡±


    ¡°Systolic pressure is 80, diastolic pressure is 40, and the pulse is 110. He¡¯s thirty years old, and has


    congenital heart disease. His coronary artery seems to be badly injured and he has breathing difficulty.


    The condition is very urgent.¡±


    ¡°I get it.¡±


    As Riley reached downstairs and saw the patient, the patient already went into aa and his face


    was cadaverous. Riley quickly opened his eyes and from the color of the white part of his eyes, the


    condition did not look good.


    ¡°Doctor Watson, the patient¡¯s heart¡¯s no longer beating.¡± Upon hearing the patient no longer had his


    heart beating, the patient¡¯s wife suddenly burst into tears and seized Riley¡¯s clothes, crying from the


    rooftops.


    ¡°Doctor, please, you must save him! My husband is only thirty years old, he can¡¯t die now! If he¡¯s dead,


    I can¡¯t live too! Please! Doctor, I beg you!¡± The nurses all held her in a hurry and consoled her, ¡°Please


    don¡¯t panic, ma¡¯am. The doctor will try her best, please stay calm first.¡±


    ¡°Doctor, you must save him! I¡¯ll give you all the money! I beg you!¡±


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, please stay calm. You¡¯ll dy the treatment instead.¡±


    Riley locked her hands together and pressed against the center of the patient¡¯s chest. ¡°The patient¡¯s


    coronary artery needs stents; it¡¯s likely that the three coronary arteries have problems. I need a


    defibritor!¡± She then mped her hands on the defibritor and stared at the patient¡¯s face. ¡°Give me


    200 joules.¡± The patient was detached from the stretcher due to the powerful attraction and he fell back


    hard again. There was still no sign of heartbeat from the screen.


    ¡°200 joules again!¡± The patient¡¯s body bounced once again. ¡°Doctor Watson, the patient¡¯s heart is


    beating again, the heartbeat has dropped, Doctor Watson!¡±


    ¡°Contact the surgeons, this patient needs operation.¡± Riley ran and followed the stretcher all the way to


    the operation room. She then stopped. After a while, the surgeon team who was responsible to do


    surgery all rushed there and the leading surgeon criticized the nurse held responsible coldly, ¡°Why


    don¡¯t you contact us directly?¡±


    The nurse did not dare to speak due to the criticism. Riley took one step forward and exined in a


    from the cardiology department, but his condition has worsened now and he needs to have a surgery.


    I¡¯ve done a checkup just now, he needs stents for the coronary arteries.¡±


    ¡°You can leave the rest to us, thank you Doctor Watson.¡±


    Riley nodded. Seeing the door of the operation door closed, she then puffed hard while holding her

    knees. The white bandage was drenched with blood once more. Having repeated this all over again,


    she became worried that the wound would leave ugly scar just like what William said.


    ¡°Doctor, you have to save my husband, we¡¯ve only gotten married for three years, and I¡¯ve just gotten


    pregnant. The child and I can¡¯t lose him¡­!¡± Riley¡¯s attention was attracted by the patient¡¯s family


    member¡¯s cries. She turned and saw the woman who was standing outside the operation room. She


    was covering her abdomen while holding the ss door of the operation room. Her legs trembled due


    tock of energy.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, do sit down and have a rest. Your husband¡¯s condition is not that bad, the doctors would save


    him, don¡¯t worry.¡± Riley held the pregnant woman and let her sat on the chair. The woman¡¯s face was


    pale and her eyes had gone red due to crying too much. She grabbed Riley as if she was herst hope


    and said, ¡°Doctor, thank you, thank you! I thank you on behalf of my child!¡±


    Child? She looked at her tummy gently. The child¡¯s age was still too young and she could not see her


    tummy bulging. ¡°How old is the child?¡± Having mentioned the child, there was finally a warm look on the


    woman¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s only two months old¡­We¡¯ve gotten married for three years, and I¡¯ve finally gotten


    pregnant, but I never expect that¡­¡± She cried.


    Riley put her hand behind her, she froze and finally caressed her back gently. She consoled, ¡°It¡¯s


    alright, trust the doctors. You have to take good care of the child and you can¡¯t be too emotional. Let¡¯s


    wait for the child¡¯s dad toe out, okay?¡±


    ¡°Okay¡­I¡¯ll listen to you. I¡¯ll not be emotional or nervous. My baby, let¡¯s wait for daddy toe out.¡±


    Seeing her finally calmed down a bit, Riley took a cup of warm water and gave it to her. ¡°The operation


    takes a very long time, you shouldn¡¯t keep on staying here. Do let other family memberse here


    and take your ce instead.¡±


    The woman held the paper cup and shook her head. ¡°Both my husband and I are not from here. We¡¯ve


    only bought a house after working hard in JD City for so many years, and our family is not here¡­It¡¯s


    okay, I¡¯ll just stay here.¡± She looked up and stared at Riley. There was gratitude and happiness in her


    eyes.


    Having thought of something, she spoke with difficulty and her voice trembled, ¡°Doctor¡­How much


    would it cost for stents cement?¡± Riley thought for a while. A lot of money would be needed after


    including the stents, medical fee and the hospital admission fee.


    She said a number after some estimation. The woman pulled down her face after hearing that, but she


    immediately nodded with determination. ¡°As long as my husband could recover, I won¡¯t mind selling our


    house.¡±


    Riley¡¯s fingertips slightly trembled. There were many married couples like them who worked hard


    together after graduating. They earned money together for the down payment and did not dare to have


    children because they did not have savings.


    To them, the house was all they had. In order to save her husband, and for the sake of her child, the


    power possessed by the fragile woman was impressive. ¡°We¡¯ve done millions of this kind of operation,


    it would be a sess, you don¡¯t need to worry. Your husband would ovee that, seeing you being


    so tough.¡±


    The woman wiped the tears on her face away and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Doctor, you¡¯re really a nice


    person. If you¡¯ve gotten married, you must be a good wife too.¡± Riley smiled. ¡°I hope so. Do have a rest


    here; I¡¯ll go mind my business.¡±


    After leaving the corridor and walked pass a corner, she finally exhaled. Compared to those who had


    tried hard and struggled to live, she and Euan were many times luckier. Should she really try to learn


    being a true wife? No matter whether he appreciated or epted it or not? She sat on the bench and


    took out her phone with thoughts. Her finger hovered above Euan¡¯s number. It was already noon; he


    should already have his meal.


    Yet that seemed too deliberate if she asked whether he had had his lunch or not, she could not do it.


    What if¡­she talked about Lydia¡¯s pregnancy checkup? Would that be a good excuse? She pondered


    and pulled her hair. He had not even acknowledged her existence these three years, why should she


    care so much about him like that? She had disdained the action of ttering someone who was


    uninterested in herself.


    Should she call him or not? Her finger hesitated. Yet the screen of the phone was too sensitive and she


    had tapped the number by ident. Damn! She had to hang up now! However, the call had gotten


    through in a split second!

 Chapter 35 Drastic Change in the Department

    Chapter 35 Drastic Change in the Department


    She never realized Euan would be so fast in picking up calls the moment she made the call. Since the


    call had been picked up, she decided to bite the bullet and speak. ¡°Anything wrong?¡± Before even


    started to speak, Euan¡¯s deep and mellow voice was heard.


    There was the crispy sound of paper flipping in the background, indicating he was still at work. Riley


    took a deep breath and stared at the tip of her toes. She fiddled with the corner of her white coat with


    one hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen Lydia¡¯s pregnancy report, there¡¯s no problem of it.¡±


    Euan who was in the office was holding a signature pen, his movement stopped when he was about to


    write something. ¡°I get it.¡± Having received his curt reply, Riley suddenly did not know how to continue


    further. She bit her lip. Should she just hang up like that, or should she wait for him to hang up? Riley


    did not speak, nor did Euan.


    Euan seemed to have forgotten he was in a phone call. The sound of him writing was heard and there


    was the sound of something nking with each other. During the silence, she could hear his rhythmic


    and long breathing sound. His breathing was connected to his heartbeat. She could even discern the


    rhythm of his heartbeat. His heart was beating regrly and strongly.


    ¡°Anything more?¡± After half a minute had passed, he broke the silence once again. All of a sudden, a


    thought sparked in Riley¡¯s mind and she replied, ¡°Oh yes, Hendrix hase to the hospital today. He


    said he wanted to do a body checkup because he wants to apply for schools.¡±


    Euan lifted his eyebrows and he ced his hands t on the surface of the desk. He leaned back


    against the office chair slightly lethargically and said, ¡°I know that, anything else?¡± Riley lowered her


    head more and more. Damn, had she lost her ability to think? ¡°No.¡±


    A fierce look shed across Euan¡¯s face. Did she call him just to talk about someone else¡¯s matter? He


    felt a rush of unhappiness. He hung up without hesitant the moment she said no. It was too sudden that


    Riley did not manage to respond.


    From her memory, he was the one who always hung up first whenever she called him, and there was


    no exception. That recognition had made her quite ufortable. And she would not know that the


    moment she took her phone, Hendrix was standing beside the stairs and was watching her attentively


    through the crowds while hiding behind the pot nts.


    His hands were shoved into the pockets of his torn off jeans. He had witnessed the way her


    expressions changed from longing to nervous, and from hesitancy to disappointment. Although he had


    no idea who the person she was talking to on phone, it was conceivable the person who was able to


    make her experienced such aplicated change in mood in just two minutes must have an unusual


    rtionship with her. Could it be his big brother?


    Riley exhaled and put her phone into her pocket. She frowned when she saw the bandage on her knee


    again. How long would the wound want to hold her back?


    ¡°Doctor Watson, are you a wonder woman? Don¡¯t you need to have your lunch?¡± Hendrix¡¯s frivolous


    voice was heard from the main hall and he was walking like a typical rich yboy. He came to her front


    in just a short while and the tall and lean young man was wearing a cheerful smile. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you


    leaving yet?¡± It had already beente.


    Hendrix pouted and scratched his forehead. ¡°I do want to leave earlier, but the doctors at your hospital


    are too inefficient and my time is dyed. Since we¡¯ve met at the right time and at the right ce, let¡¯s


    have lunch together!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the employee¡¯s canteen, you can have lunch yourself.¡±


    ¡°Oh don¡¯t be like that, why can¡¯t we have lunch together? I won¡¯t cheat you anyway, I¡¯ll treat you, how


    does that sound?¡± He badgered her yfully and there was still a childish look on his face. It was


    reasonable as he had just turned twenty and it was the age to enjoy fun. Riley did not want others to


    see hering close to those from the George family.


    Many people still did not know Hendrix¡¯s identity and her rtionship with Euan. But if there was a


    chance both of their identity were exposed, people would start to gossip about them if she came too


    close to Hendrix, and that would have a bad influence to her and Euan.


    Without knowing why, the act of cuckolding Euan suddenly popped out into her mind. No matter how


    Euan humiliated her, she still refused to let him suffer from any damage in reputation. Did she not care


    about him? She had actually wanted to protect him with all her heart secretly.


    ¡°No thanks, I¡¯ll go to the canteen. I¡¯m busy in the afternoon. You have nothing to do and have plenty of


    time, but I still have job to do, and I have no time to keep youpany.¡±


    ¡°Riley, could you possibly be that coldblooded? If my heart has broken, would you make amendment to


    me afterwards?¡±


    As Hendrix was pestering her, a white shadow came out of the lift. The lofty figure d in white coat


    inevitably gave out a sense of pride that made people grew respect. Theer was William. He had


    seen her arguing with a casually-dressed young man the moment he came out of the lift and he quickly


    strode towards her without even looking at Hendrix. ¡°Sorry to make you wait, Doctor Watson. Let¡¯s go


    now.¡±


    Hmm? Hendrix and Riley both looked towards the one who was speaking at the same time. ¡°I¡¯ve made


    an appointment with Doctor Watson, if you want to treat her meal, better next time.¡±


    Contrary to Riley, the man did not have a work pass on his cor, yet it was easy to tell the doctor was


    unusual from his clothes and temperament. Hendrix did not care about him at all and he retorted


    rudely. William smiled and slowly nced at Riley. ¡°Doctor Watson, regarding the patientst time,


    looks like we need to arrange some other time to have a talk.¡±


    ¡°No need, we can talk now.¡± Upon finishing, Riley straight away passed by Hendrix and headed


    towards the employee¡¯s canteen at the right. William nodded at Hendrix like how a grownup facing a


    child.


    Hendrix was so irritated that he still locked his eyes at their back until they walked around a corner and


    disappeared. ¡°Thank you for helping me just now.¡± Riley stopped and thanked him without saying


    anymore further. William stood in front of her and said, ¡°Can I use the two ¡®thank you¡¯ as an exchange


    for a meal?¡±


    Riley was still not used to having someone she was not yet familiar with to joke with her, especially


    males. ¡°I still have something to do and I have to go up.¡± A smile suddenly broke upon William¡¯s lips.


    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m going to eat while wearing like this? What are you afraid of? Doctor Watson.¡± Afraid?


    Was she? ¡°Your eyes and your little movements have told me you¡¯re afraid to be with me alone, or


    should I say, you even resist the young man just now. Doctor Watson, your subconscious mind is


    rmed of something.¡±


    ¡°I do not.¡± As if her hidden secret was found out at a nce, she only wanted to deny it quickly, yet she


    could not hide it from William¡¯s eyes no matter how.


    ¡°Doctor Watson, don¡¯t try to argue with a psychiatrist. Your argument and denial would only consolidate


    the fact.¡± His voice was always gentle as if he was talking to his patient. Riley choked. ¡°And don¡¯t you


    try to judge me with your so called professional knowledge, Doctor Hardesty. You helped me just now,


    but that doesn¡¯t mean you can invade my privacy.¡±


    William burst intoughter and there was a line on his chin as he smiled. It was a symbol of a sexy and


    attractive man, yet¡­the man before her could not be called sexy, as he was too pure. ¡°You really do


    have an excellent debating skill. Alright, I still have patient to look after, do mind your work too, Doctor


    Watson. Mind your knee. If you¡¯ve worked too hard again, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re gonna have to go to the


    stic surgery department next month.¡±


    Watching him leave, Riley suddenly felt she had be invisible. His eyes were like X-rays and he


    had done aplete CT scan on her thoughts and feelings. Yet it turned out he was capable to tell


    what he observed in a simple and amiable way that she could not feel disgusted.


    She went upstairs, took off her white coat and changed her clothes. Serena and Margot were there too


    and both of them kept onining. ¡°Doctor Watson, you¡¯ve gone downstairs just now and you have


    no idea what happened here. The patient from bed number thirty was too annoying! That patient was


    too reckless!¡±


    ¡°Oh don¡¯t mention that anymore. I¡¯m hungry and I have to go to the canteen for energy supply.¡±


    The employee¡¯s canteen was overcrowded at noon. There would always be someone whoined


    during that time that the meal was not enough because the patients were too many and the doctors too


    less. It was in fact the opposite. The number of the doctors was way more horrifying.


    Serena ate the tomato with eggs in her lunchbox and started to gossip, ¡°Don¡¯t you guys feel weird? The


    new deputy director has filled the role but he has never shown himself even once. He¡¯s not even


    present during the wee partyst time, why is he bing so mysterious?¡±


    Margot replied, ¡°A patient coincidentally needs a surgeryst time and there was not enough man


    force, therefore he has gone to lead the surgery, it¡¯s not his fault that he¡¯s absent. What makes me feel


    weird the most is as a surgeon, why would he be a deputy director in the medicinal department?


    That¡¯s too strange.¡±


    Riley only concentrated on her meal and her thought. She did not care about the deputy director who


    liked to act mysterious at all. He could do whatever he wanted and she would not give a damn.


    ¡°Big news! Doctor Nygard has been transferred to the branch hospital to be the director in the


    interim! That might sound like a promotion, but could the branch possibly beparable against the


    main one? It¡¯s obvious he¡¯s demoted.¡± Doctor A who was sitting at the table next to them spoke and


    Doctor B chimed in dramatically, ¡°No way! There¡¯s not even a sign, that¡¯s too sudden.¡±


    ¡°Exactly, Doctor Nygard used to be the director of the neurology department, he then became the


    deputy director of the hospital. He used to be dedicated in his work, yet it seems like due to bad health,


    he has to stop working for a year for treatment, and I wonder what illness is it.¡±


    Doctor Nygard had fallen sick? And he was demoted too? Having remembered the professor


    assessment form given by him, Riley felt her heart slightly wrenched. ¡°Then who¡¯s the new deputy


    director?¡±


    ¡°No idea, nevertheless the deputy director of our hospital was always chosen from the big departments


    like neurology and cardiology. They would definitely note to our dental department.¡± The


    discussion still continued and Serena touched Riley with her te.


    ¡°Doctor Watson, the hospital¡¯s experiencing a dramatic change. Our deputy director of the department


    has not yet arrived, and the deputy director of the hospital has copsed first. Do you think we¡¯ll have a


    chance?¡±


    ¡°Stop dreaming, do you know how long your work experience is? If you want to be the deputy


    director of the hospital, you¡¯ll have to get bald first.¡±


    ¡°Damn! It could be the new director is not bald!¡±


    ¡°Female?¡±


    ¡°Go away!¡±

    After finishing meal, Riley went to the resting room first. Her duty began at two o¡¯clock and she could


    read a book and evaluate the work first. Essay was a difficult task and her head hurt whenever she


    thought of it.


    She took a cup of coffee and sat on the table. A book that she was readingtely was ced on the


    table. As she flipped it, a paper slip slid out from the pages. Somebody had inserted a bookmark into


    the book.


    With neat handwriting and concise wording, the words had pinpointed on the emergency treatments for


    the cardiac tamponade caused by heart bleeding. Every word was considered as ssics.


    ¡°Doctor Watson, don¡¯t you have to give me a heads up when you took my book?¡±

 Chapter 36 If He Wanted to Have It, Just Say It. Don’t Fake Elegance and Coldness

    Chapter 36 If He Wanted to Have It, Just Say It. Don¡¯t Fake Elegance and Coldness


    While Riley was staring at her, a cold and indifferent female voice came slowly from across the table.


    Riley raised her head to see who it was. Then she saw a tall and slender woman who was wearing a


    doctor¡¯s gown standing at one side of the table. She had a clean Sassoon Bob which reached her ears.


    Her hair ends were waved. The hair beside her cheeks were slightly curled inwards. Because of the


    hair style, the woman¡¯s face, which was already delicate, appeared more elegant.


    The woman had a light makeup. Her eyshes were brushed carefully, which were distinct and clear.


    She was wearing rosy red lipstick. When she opened her mouth, it looked like a flower opening. She


    was a capable and sexy woman.


    The calmness between her eyebrows made her look like an ever-victorious general who had gone


    through countless battles.


    Inside the doctor¡¯s gown was a light-purple shirt. The top two buttons of the shirt were undone, and her


    skinny vicalis were showed. The pair of ck trousers wrapped the bottom of the light-purple shirt.


    She was wearing a pair of ck high-heeled shoes, which supported her thin, long legs.


    ¡°I am sorry. I didn¡¯t know it was your book.¡± Riley pushed the book across the table and put it before the


    woman. Then she moved her coffee cup nearer to her.


    There wasn¡¯t a name card on the woman¡¯s gown, so Riley didn¡¯t know who she was. Besides, as far as


    she knew, there had never been such a beautiful doctor in this hospital. If there was truly a gorgeous


    and stunning doctor such as this one in JD Central Hospital, it would be impossible for her to not know


    it.


    The woman picked up the medical book, ¡°You are the best doctor in department of cardiology Riley


    Watson?¡±


    The woman had nced at Riley¡¯s name card before, but she wasn¡¯t so sure. She couldn¡¯t believe


    Riley Watson was so young and beautiful.


    ¡°I am Riley Watson, but I am afraid I am not the best doctor in department of cardiology.¡± They had only


    exchanged a few words, but Riley could feel that this woman was not easy to get along with or


    The woman said impatiently, ¡°If you are, just say yes. If not, just say no. There is no need to fake


    modesty. If my memory is right, you need to treat an outpatient this afternoon. Shouldn¡¯t you be


    preparing for it?¡±


    Riley frowned. Who did she think she is,manding and ordering her? Besides, it was still early now.


    ¡°I am sorry, but who are you?¡±


    The woman was not nice to Riley, so Riley wouldn¡¯t treat her kindly either. The woman acted like she


    pleased without considering the feelings of others. Did she consider herself Riley¡¯s leader already?


    The woman raised her mouth corner contemptuously. The she began leafing through the book. She did


    this to show her despise for Riley for not knowing who she was. The woman didn¡¯t even reply to Riley.


    Oh! So many people were holding their heads high nowadays! So it turned out that Lydia Saunders


    wasn¡¯t the only one having this ability.


    ¡°Director Pouchain, you are here. I have looked everywhere for you!¡±


    Before Riley could stand up, Director Patrick from department of cardiology began striding towards


    them. Director Patrick was talking to the woman in front of Riley who despised everyone.


    Hearing this, Riley felt like her heart stopped beating for a moment. Didn¡¯t they say the new vice


    director was a man? Riley had heard a lot about how excellent this man was. But it turned out it was a


    woman? Jeanne stood up and nodded her head, ¡°Director Patrick.¡±


    Seeing the two best doctors in department of cardiology were all here, Director Patrick smiled and said,


    ¡°Riley, you are here too. That¡¯s good. Have you made each other¡¯s acquaintances? This is the


    backbone of our department of cardiology, Riley Watson and Dr. Watson too. And this is the new vice


    director of our department, the doctor of medicine from Harvard, Jeanne Pouchain and vice director


    too. You are both young and capable doctors. Haha!¡±


    No matter how excellent Riley was at her job, her position was still lower than Jeanne¡¯s. So she


    couldn¡¯t speak first and only nodded her head as a greeting.


    Jeanne closed the book and said in an unkind tone, ¡°We have met. As for the ¡°best doctor¡± part, we will


    see about it.¡±


    To ease the tense, Director Patrick kept smiling. Director was about fifties and wore a pair of sses


    with gold wire frames. His eyes were not big. When he smiled, his eyes were reduced to two narrow


    slits, which made him look funny.


    In the afternoon, Riley just did her work as usual. She was kept busy for the whole afternoon. Before all


    her patients were attended to, it was already six o¡¯clock.


    After work, Riley was so tired. She went home. Because she had to write her essay, she didn¡¯t have


    time to make a decent dinner. Therefore, she headed to the convenience store and bought a bag of


    instant dumplings. After she put the dumplings into the pot with boiling water, Riley leaned against the


    door frame and began reading.


    The academic title of professor was a big deal. Only one or two ces for the academic title of


    professor were allocated to a department. Besides, normally only experienced doctors who had went


    through enormous surgeries could get the application form. So it was a surprise to her that she got it


    too.


    Thinking of this, Riley seemed to understand that vice president Mr. Nygard was indeed taking care of


    her privately before he was transferred.


    While the dumplings in the pot were already bubbling, Riley was still consumed with her reading. She


    was thinking about a terminology and didn¡¯t pay attention to the pot. Then the dumplings were all ready


    for te and the boiling water began overflowing the pot.


    ¡°You want tomit suicide?¡±


    ¡°Pang!¡±


    Euan¡¯s cold and harsh scolding ovepped with the sound of the book¡¯s dropping on the ground.


    Riley¡¯s first response was thinking why he came back suddenly?!


    Then she thought of the dumplings.


    Euan¡¯s long legs walked past Riley and he turned off the gas in a swift way. A pair of blood-thirsty eyes


    were fixated on Riley. It seemed like he intended to stare a hole out of Riley¡¯s face.


    The pot was made all wet by the dumpling soup. White, slimy soup flowed across the kitchen table and


    kept spreading. There was plenty of it on the ground too.


    ¡°I......I wasn¡¯t paying attention. You go ahead. I will clean up.¡± Riley picked up the medical book on the


    ground and put it on the bookshelf. Then she rolled up her sleeves and grabbed the rag before


    beginning to clean up.


    Euan seethed in silence. His slender and tall figure stood behind her. He really wanted to seize her by


    the throat and ask her what if something happened!


    However, watching the way Riley cleaned the kitchen table in silence, Euan swallowed down the anger


    that was choking his throat. It was almost unbelievable that Euan suppressed his anger.


    ¡°All right! Get out!¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t stop after what hemanded, ¡°I smudged Mr. George¡¯s cook. I will take responsibility and


    clean them up.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true that the cook can be cleaned up. But Riley Watson......¡±


    Euan¡¯s cold voice rose up behind Riley. There was a tinge of anger in his voice, which evidently


    indicated that he was suppressing something. But it couldn¡¯t be figured out what he was suppressing.


    Riley began to listen carefully, be Euan stopped talking.


    However, Riley¡¯s eyes and heart were stained. How did she clean them up?!


    After cleaning up the cook, Riley opened the pot¡¯s lid. Over twenty white, ptable dumplings were


    floating on the surface of the water. They were shrimp stuffing dumplings. With the lid being opening,


    the tasty smell spread out.


    Riley asked coldly, ¡°You want it?¡±


    Euan, ¡°...¡±


    Riley took his response as a ¡°No¡±, so she put all the dumplings on a single te. Then she carried the


    te to the table and put it down. She put the chopsticks on the te and then walked back to the


    kitchen to prepare a dish with vinegar.


    But when she got back to the dining table, the te of dumplings was now before Euan. His long and


    slender fingers were holding the chopsticks which were mping half of a dumpling...


    Riley frowned. If he wanted to have it, he could just say it. Why did he have to pretend to be cold and


    elegant?


    Riley put down the dish with vinegar and said nothing. Then she went back to get one more pair of


    chopsticks and dish of vinegar. She sat across from him and picked up one dumpling with the


    chopsticks. Then she dipped it in the vinegar as if there was no one across from her.


    Two of them sat across from each other and ate dumplings in silence. One, two, three... Their


    chopsticks were picked up and put down alternatively.


    The atmosphere was so bizarre. The dumplings were getting fewer and fewer, but Euan said nothing.


    Normally, he couldn¡¯t get through the day without taunting and jeering at Riley.


    Euan carefully tasted the instant dumplings, the food regarded as junk by him. It was so damn


    delicious. But Riley, who was sitting across from him, didn¡¯t have any expression on her face. She


    seemed to detest his joining.


    ¡°I will go for a business trip tomorrow.¡±


    Out of nowhere, Euan spoke the first sentence.


    A business trip? Why did he have to tell her?


    Oh, was he telling her that the owner of this house was leaving tomorrow and that she should carefully


    check the house in case of any ident?


    ¡°I am moving tomorrow. Hendrix had been here once. He wouldn¡¯te for a second time.¡±


    Riley answered coldly. What she said was rational and objective, whichplied with her style.


    Euan exerted much strength on his fingers, which almost broke the chopsticks, ¡°If he hade once,


    he woulde for a second time. Are you expecting me to personally invite you toe back when he


    revisits?¡±


    What?


    Riley raised her eyes and looked at Euan. There was only a table between her and Euan, but she felt


    like he was so far away from her. No matter how hard she tried toe close to him, in the end, she


    could only look up at him from across the sea.


    ¡°I will contact Hendrix and ask him not toe back. If he wants to meet you, he can find a coffee shop


    or a restaurant.¡± Riley slightly pursed her pink lips. There should be the tasty smell of dumpling in her


    mouth, but howe she only tasted bitterness?


    Euan¡¯s voice got deeper and he said word by word, ¡°I see. Maybe the best ce will be the George''s


    Mansion. Or do you want to attend the family feast of the George family again?¡±


    The phrase ¡°family feast¡± was like a taboo to Riley. And Euan knew clearly that it was what she disliked


    most and what she would do everything to avoid.


    ¡°Okay, I will stay. But as far as I am concerned, while you are on your business trip, he wouldn¡¯te


    here.¡±


    ¡°You know what he is thinking?¡±


    A simple rhetorical question included endless sarcasm.


    Riley held her chopsticks tightly. Her appetite was all gone now and she felt stuffed instantly, ¡°No. How


    can I know what¡¯s going on in the mind of young masters of the George family?¡±


    Riley put down her chopsticks. When the conversation got disagreeable, to say one word more was a


    waste of breath. While there was nothing left to say, she might as well leave the table.


    ¡°Sit down.¡± Euanmanded her in a cold voice, ¡°Who allowed you to leave the table before your


    husband?¡±


    Riley snorted, ¡°Husband? Mr. George, I can¡¯t take this word anymore. I don¡¯t deserve it. Only the


    woman who is pregnant with your child deserves to call you her husband.¡±


    ¡°Pang!¡±


    Euan violently threw the chopsticks on the table, which created a big noise. She felt like he just pped


    her face. The fiery feeling of pain went down to her spine.


    The dinner ended unhappily. Euan went back to the study in anger, and Riley cleaned up the


    dinnerware.


    After reading, Riley was going to sleep. When she opened the door of the master bedroom, Euan was


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    already lying on the bed!


    Sleeping in the master bedroom, he was dering his dominance in an aggressive way. He was Mr.


    George. Why was he behaving like a child?


    The man on the bed was not sleeping. He closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping. Therefore,


    when Riley entered the bathroom, brushed her teeth and washed her body, he heard it all.


    Even if he heard it, so what?


    The wall and doorid between two totally different worlds.


    Euan kept a straight face and turned his head away to stop focusing on her.


    After sleeping in the guest room for a night, Riley woke up and found that Euan had already left the vi


    to catch the ne. She didn¡¯t even get to see him before he left.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, what happened to our vice director?! It was supposed to be a handsome man! Howe


    it is a female doctor? Besides, I saw her just now and it almost sacred the shit out of me. She is indeed


    very pretty, but she is too aloof!¡±


    Who? Of course it was the woman called Jeanne Pouchain.


    ¡°Just get used to it. Besides, if you don¡¯t provoke her, she would leave you alone too.¡±


    Riley had not been doing well recently, so she had no time or energy for suchplicated business


    concerning human rtions.


    Jeanne had just taken this official post, so what she did first was to make an inspection tour in every


    ward. A line of people, including Riley, followed behind her and made sure she had whatever she


    needed.


    The good thing was all tricky questions raised by Jeanne were all answered clearly and in detail by


    Riley. Though being silent, the other doctors who were apanying Jeanne were all grateful for


    Riley¡¯s wisdom and solid specialized knowledge.


    But Jeanne¡¯s eyes were still full of scorn and pride. She seemed very discontent.


    ¡°It¡¯s easy to talk about stratagems on paper, but it won¡¯t be as soon as you conduct practice.¡±


    This was the remark for Riley from Jeanne after she finished making the inspection tour.


    Whatever! She didn¡¯t care.


    ¡°Dr. Watson,e over here.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t the end yet.


    Following Jeanne to the vice director¡¯s office, Riley stopped. Jeanne asked angrily, ¡°You are applying


    for the academic title of professor?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I have already got the application form.¡±


    Jeanne sneered, ¡°On ount of what? Do you know what the academic title of professor means?¡±


    Riley felt speechless and confused. Jeanne just took the official post. Why was she always targeting


    her? Was she a lunatic!


    ¡°Vice director, vice president Nygard handed the application form to me in person. As for the question


    of whether I am qualified for the application, he knew better than anyone else.¡±


    ¡°Vice president Nygard had already been transferred. And everything that he put his hands on will be


    examined again. If you want to apply for it, go find the new vice president!¡±

 Chapter 37 It Was Him

    Chapter 37 It Was Him


    ¡°Lydia, the Riley Watson that you talked about is this woman?¡±


    Jeanne sent a picture of Riley to Lydia and then called Lydia before asking with uncertainty.


    Seeing the picture of Riley on her phone screen, Lydia exerted much strength on her hand which was


    holding the belt of a Herm¨¨s bag. Enormous hatred was overflowing her eyes. She gritted her teeth,


    ¡°Yes! It is this bitch!¡±


    Sitting on the chair in her office, Jeanne gave a cold smile and said slightly, ¡°She is working under me


    now. If I want to deal with her, it will be easier than killing an ant with my bare hands.¡±


    A wicked smile appeared at Lydia¡¯s mouth corner, ¡°Dear sister, I am counting on you now. It mostly


    depends on this woman whether I can marry Euan or not. As for how to make that happen, dear sister,


    I believe you are smarter than me.¡±


    Jeanne pulled the window-blinds and looked at the figure in white who had just walked out of her office,


    ¡°What? You onlypliment me when you want something from me¡±


    ¡°Of course not. You have always been smart! It just never urred to me that I was so blessed by


    God. I only knew you wereing back from America, but I didn¡¯t know that you were going to the JD


    Central Hospital and that you would work in the department of cardiology.¡±


    ¡°You also didn¡¯t think that I would be the vice director of this department, who can decide whether she


    lives or dies. Okay, a pregnant woman needs to rest more. I will feed you with thetest development


    ¡°Thank you, sister. By the way, I bought you a new bag, which will certainly make you happy..¡±


    Hanging up the phone, Lydia raised her mouth corner even higher with pride and arrogance. Her


    fingers which were embellished with acrylic nails yed with the new bag in her hand gently. She


    smiled coldly and scornfully.


    Riley Watson, you were going to hell!


    Walking out of the vice director¡¯s office, Riley felt burdened. Jeanne asked her to find the new vice


    president. She knew nothing about the new vice president, including whether he was a man or a


    woman and whether he was thin or fat. This would be the first time she met him, and she was going to


    ask him about something so big. Was this appropriate?


    The good thing was she didn¡¯t have much work to do today. So she thought she would give it a go.


    She began heading to the vice president¡¯s office. She entered the elevator and watched the number


    going up and up. Breathing deeply, Riley hoped this new vice president would be easy to talk to.


    Ding! It was her.


    Riley breathed in and out several deep breaths and then adjusted her breath. The vice president¡¯s


    office was right in front of her. When she was at the door, Riley stuck her head in to look inside. A tall


    and slender figure was standing before the desk, who was looking at the model of heart.


    Riley knocked on the door and the tall figure turned around...


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    The man in the office was William Hardesty.


    Riley looked around the vice president¡¯s office, which was totally different from when vice president


    Nygard was here. The office was very tidy and clean now. There was a new bookshelf, which was full


    of medical books. Most of these books were about cardiac surgery.


    There were two models of internal organs on the table. The big one was the model of five most


    important internal organs, including heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys. The small one was the


    model of heart.


    The one in his hand was the model of heart.


    William smiled slightly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Facing William, Riley was on the alert and wanted to avoid interacting with him, so she stepped away


    from him subconsciously, ¡°It seems like the vice president isn¡¯t here today. I wille another day.¡±


    What?


    Out of control, William smiled, ¡°What do you want from him?¡±


    Riley thought it would be unnecessary for her to tell him about the details, so she answered coldly,


    ¡°Nothing.¡±


    William put down the ¡°heart¡±, and his tall and slender figure left the desk. The table tablet stand which


    was blocked by his back before finally revealed itself, ¡°Say it. What is it?¡±


    Riley was about to open her mouth to shut him up, then she suddenly saw the table tablet stand on the


    table.


    Vice President: William Hardesty


    What the! It was impossible! He was the vice president!


    It took her more than thirty seconds to assemble all the information bits that she heard about him


    before, such as a surgeon, good-looking, young and excellent....


    So it turned out that the rumors were not about the vice director but about the famous vice president of


    JD Central Hospital.


    He was too young!


    William looked down at the changes of her face, and then smiled again, ¡°Any question? Dr. Watson?¡±


    Question? She was full of questions!


    ¡°Vice president...Hardesty, this is my application form for the academic title of professor. Can you have


    a look and tell me if it is valid?¡±


    Riley calmed down and handed the form to him. The unnatural smile on her face sold her out, which


    evidently indicated that she was nervous.


    A higher rank could crush you. On the application form, her handwriting was beautiful and neat. All was


    clear at first nce.


    All nks were filled with appropriate wording. Only the nk of marital status was unfilled.


    Riley kept him in her peripheral vision and checked him secretly. Maybe it was because she suddenly


    knew who he was, when she looked at him now, he felt like something was different about him. If he


    was a normal doctor, what he did for her before could be all considered as simple gestures of help from


    a colleague.


    But now that she found he was the vice president, she found those things weird.


    While she was thinking about this, William¡¯s soft and beautiful sound came up, ¡°There was nothing


    wrong with the application form. But you are short of a professional paper, which needs to be of high


    quality. And you need to finish it in this month. Can you do that?¡±


    It turned out her application form was fine. So Riley heaved a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Yes, I might be able to do that.¡±


    With one hand in the gown¡¯s pocket, William looked at Riley with his deep eyes, ¡°Dr. Watson, you are


    the best doctor of the department of cardiology. You will have no trouble gaining the title of professor. If


    you get elected as a professor, you will be the youngest female professor in our hospital.


    Congrattions.¡±


    Riley smiled slightly, ¡°I am not a professor yet. Vice president, your congrattionse too early.¡±


    William¡¯s face was beautiful in a decent and elegant way. When he smiled, the cleft chin was attractive,


    ¡°If you get elected as a professor, how do you n to thank me?¡±


    Riley smiled slightly, ¡°Wait until I am a professor!¡±


    The she strode out of his office. She didn¡¯t see theplicated smile on William¡¯s face. Naturally, she


    didn¡¯t see the personal profile of her beneath a stack of files on his table either.


    She was married, but nobody knew it.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, are you working the night shift today?¡±


    As soon as she came back, Serena asked.


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t have night shift this week.¡±


    ¡°But in thetest worksheet, you are working the night shift today.¡±


    Riley frowned. In thetest email of the internal mail box, her name was the first on the list of tonight¡¯s


    night shift members.


    Margot pursed her lips, ¡°The work arrangement was made by vice director. Why don¡¯t you go ask her?¡±


    Riley¡¯s eyes smiled coldly, ¡°There is no need. We take turns in taking the night shift. I do it tonight and I


    get to rest tomorrow night. It¡¯s no difference.¡±


    After day shift, Riley rushed to have dinner and then headed back to the hospital. She had to prepare


    her professional paper as well as take the night shift. So it was a bit rush.


    William just took the official post and was not familiar with many things. In order to learn about the


    hospital as soon as possible, he worked overtime to inspect every ward and look up documents. When


    he finished the work of today, it was already seven or eight o¡¯clock at night.


    Rubbing his sore neck, William stood up and was about to knock off duty. When he raised his eyes,


    there was a figure at the door.


    Crossing her arms before her chest, Jeanne stood at the door. Her red lips conceived a slight smile.


    The eyeliners beside the ends of her brows curved up, which perfectly showed her coquetry.


    ¡°Vice president Hardesty, we meet again.¡±


    William stood up, and his tall figure upied half of her sight. She secretly checked him from bottom to


    top and didn¡¯t miss a single detail.


    She tried hard to hide her feelings, which all meant a single thing...her love for him.


    Jeanne liked William. This was an open secret that was known by all their ssmates since they were


    in college. When she was studying for bachelor¡¯s degree, master¡¯s degree and doctor¡¯s degree, her


    mind never changed and her eyes were always fixated on William.


    From a noble family and with excellent academic performance, Jeanne was very popr in Harvard


    which was full of talented people. She was never short of pursuers, including experts from academic


    fields and rich men from businessmunity. They all chased after her continuously.


    But Jeanne only saw William in her eyes. She only cared about him in her heart.


    She was proud and never admitted defeat. But only in front of him, she subconsciously felt she was


    inferior and even self-abased.


    After learning that William went back to China to take up a new post, Jeanne resigned from a top


    hospital in NYC without hesitation and applied for the post of vice director in JD Central Hospital.


    However, it was such a regret that even though the whole school knew about Jeanne¡¯s secret love for


    William, the person concerned had no idea of it.


    William only knew she as an alumna from the same major of the same school. He released a slight


    smile and was polite, but only polite, ¡°Dr. Pouchain, I didn¡¯t know you were here too.¡±


    Jeanne¡¯s red lips rose up. She tried hard to hide the fever at the bottom of her eyes, ¡°Now that we have


    met, how about we have a meal together?¡±


    Had a meal?


    Facing her invitation, William rejected politely and closed hisptop, ¡°No need. It¡¯s bad for stomach


    eating at such ate time.¡±


    Jeanne stood in his office and beside the door, keeping an appropriate distance from William, ¡°Vice


    president, you need to knock off duty, right? How about we walk together?¡±


    William¡¯s brow ridge rose up slightly, ¡°Of course.¡±


    William changed out of the doctor¡¯s gown. The seemly suit made him look like he was full of energy


    and strength.


    ¡°Excuse me, I haven¡¯t changed yet. I will go back to change my clothes. Please wait.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡±


    Out of courtesy, William followed her to the fourth floor, the department of cardiology.


    Jeanne walked fast to the dressing room and William waited for her outside. When he was looking


    around the offices of this department, suddenly a figure in white came into his sight.


    The figure was slender and tall. In a rush, she was walking very fast. With one hand holding a book and


    another hand holding a cup of coffee, she walked without even raising her head.


    William frowned and smiled in silence.


    ¡°Vice president, what are you looking at?¡±


    Walking out of the dressing room, Jeanne saw William was staring in a direction and smiling. When she


    looked in the same direction, the figure of Riley was long gone.


    ¡°Nothing. Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Going down, Jeanne had been talking about her funny memory about Harvard since they entered the


    elevator, but William had been focusing on the figure in white he saw earlier, who was busy reading


    and walking.


    The more he thought about it, the funnier he found it. So he beganughing.


    ¡°Vice president? You think it¡¯s funny too, right?¡±


    William froze, ¡°What? Yes, indeed it is.¡±


    Jeanne really thought the topic she raised drew William¡¯s attention, so she continued, ¡°Do you


    remember when we were in the research institute? And Professor Howard¡¯s lessons...¡±


    William stopped walking and looked back at her, ¡°Dr. Pouchain, I just remembered I left some work


    undone. I need to get back now, sorry.¡±


    Jeanne opened her mouth, ¡°Vice resident...¡±


    ¡°Drive safe.¡±


    Looking at his back, Jeanne said, ¡°Okay...¡±


    When she reached the underground garage and started the car, it suddenly urred to her that she


    arranged Riley to work the night shift tonight. Her mouth corner rose up. How could she miss such a


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    good opportunity?


    William walked back to the hospital. He bought some simple midnight snack from the convenience


    store of the hospital and carried it to the fourth floor.


    It was quiet in the duty room. Only Riley was in it. She seemed to have met some difficulty, and was


    thinking hard with her brows frowned.


    ¡°Dr. Watson. What a coincidence. You are taking the night shift too?¡±


    Riley stopped reading and looked up, ¡°Vice president? You are on duty too?¡±


    William frowned and said with resignation, ¡°You think vice president doesn¡¯t need to work overtime? I


    am not only the vice president but also a surgeon.¡±


    He put the midnight snack on her table, ¡°Replenish your energy. The hospital exploits yourbour. Just


    take me as someone who reimburses victims on behalf of the capitalists.¡±


    Riley turned over the book and put it back on the table, ¡°Seeing vice president doing this, I am so


    scared. You want to reimburse me? I only know the proverb of ¡®the weasel goes to pay his respects to


    the hen ©¤ not with the best of intentions¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Haha.¡± Williamughed at what she said. His voice was soothing and pleasant to hear, which made


    him look more charming and morous.


    ¡°It is good that you didn¡¯t say ¡®If someone bes courteous when there is nothing to be courteous


    about, he intends tomit either treachery or theft¡¯.¡±


    At this moment, Jeanne¡¯s feet stopped outside the door suddenly as if she was struck by a


    lightning!

 Chapter 38 What the Hell Did You Do Last Night?

    Chapter 38 What the Hell Did You Do Last Night?


    William!?


    What were they doing together?


    He said he left some work undone. So his work was in the department of cardiology?


    But what about the conspicuous midnight snack on the table?


    He said he didn¡¯t have midnight snack, so there was no doubt it was bought by Riley.


    Evidently, Riley persuaded him to stay with the midnight snack as the excuse.


    Riley Watson! If Lydia was right about the fact that Euan didn¡¯t touch her at all and only regarded her as


    a pretty vase in his house, then her title as the hostess of the George family was like her widow badge.


    Therefore, this lonely young wife must be thinking of ways to seduce men. William was perfect in every


    single way. Of course he was her first choice!


    Damn you, Riley Watson. As a married woman, you dared to seduce William!


    You were looking for death!


    Gritting her teeth, Jeanne took out her phone and found a right angle before quickly taking dozens of


    pictures, in which they two looked intimate and close to each other.


    Holding a pen, Riley looked at William with her bright eyes, ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±


    With a hand in his pocket, William drew a professional book from her table and pped it, ¡°Midnight


    snack, Riley Watson doesn¡¯t recognize it?¡±


    She frowned, ¡°You know that¡¯s not what I meant.¡±


    William smiled slightly, ¡°What is Dr. Watson thinking about?¡± Are you questioning the sincerity of my


    care for the staff who work under me? Or is it that the midnight snack I bought doesn¡¯t meet your taste?


    Riley tuned to a new page. Then she nodded and stopped looking at him, ¡°Vice president Hardesty, I


    think we had better keep a distance.¡±


    William looked at her hand naturally. She was not wearing a wedding ring, and nobody knew that she


    was already married.


    He thought, it turned out that the Dr. Watson who looked happy, proud and confident in front of other


    people actually didn¡¯t lead a satisfying life.


    His heart trembled slightly.


    It was very difficult to toil through a night shift. After the night, two big dark eye circles appeared on


    Riley¡¯s face. When she went to the dressing room to change her clothes, she kept yawning.


    ¡°It¡¯s her. Last night...¡±


    She seemed to hear several nurses talking about something. She only heard the beginning of the


    sentence. Because they talked in a very low voice, Riley didn¡¯t hear the rest of the conversation.


    Walking out of the dressing room, two or three nurses were peeking at her in secrecy. They were


    muttering something. Riley didn¡¯t hear what they were talking about, but clearly the nurses¡¯ eyes were


    despising her.


    ¡°Dr. Watson...¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, you knocking off the night shift?¡±


    When she passed the corridor, nurses who were passing by greeted her politely. Riley nodded as usual


    and then walked to the elevator with her long legs.


    ¡°The woman who was passing by was Dr. Watson. She dared to seduce the new vice president of our


    hospital. I didn¡¯t know she was so disgraceful...¡±


    At the moment the elevator door closed, the condemnation from the nurses¡¯ mouths all got into Riley¡¯s


    ears.


    She? William Hardesty?


    What?


    Riley was dog-tired and went straight back home. No one was home. On the table in the living roomy


    a brand-newdy¡¯s handbag. She saw the logo on the zipper. It was a Herm¨¨s bag.


    She was only working a night shift, and Euan was already so horny and impatient that he invited Lydia


    to spend the night with him? Euan George, were you really that horny!


    Looking at the time, Riley guessed they had left.


    Suffering from heartbreak and agitation, Riley strode upstairs. When she opened the door of the master


    bedroom, she froze.


    On the bed of the master bedroom, Euan was lying beneath the quilt idly. Sunlight travelled through the


    window gauze and sprayed on his gorgeous face. When he heard the door opening, his unruly


    eyebrows frowned slightly.


    Riley¡¯s fingers and feet froze at the same time. She stared at the man on bed in low spirits, and all her


    bones tensed up.


    The figure beneath the quilt moved a little. Euan¡¯s impatient face seemed to show his disdain for her


    appearance, ¡°Riley Watson, you are getting bolder and bolder.¡±


    Riley felt like her feet were stuck to the ground. She opened her mouth, ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were home.¡±


    Wasn¡¯t he going for a business trip? Why did hee back so soon?


    When she was about to close the door, Euan snorted coldly, ¡°Were you unaware of me being home, or


    did you wish I wasn¡¯t home?¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth, ¡°Whatever you think! I am tired. I am not looking for a dispute.¡±


    When she turned around to walk away, Euan threw away the quilt violently. And then his long legs


    strode to before her in seconds. The powerful vide that couldn¡¯t go unnoticed suppressed her like


    death!


    ¡°Or, were you wishing the man on this bed, wasn¡¯t me!¡±


    With a loud scolding, Euan¡¯s blood-thirsty eyes were filled with tremendous anger. His big hand as


    frightening as a hawkbill grabbed her by the lower jaw. Then he exerted strength on his hand!


    Ahh!


    Riley¡¯s lower jaw ached so much. Enormous pain made her face go pale and white in a second.


    ¡°Euan, what¡¯s wrong with you! Let me go!¡±


    ¡°Riley Watson, you are ying with fire! Damn you, you are looking for death!¡±


    Riley felt her lower jaw stinging and hurting like hell. It was like fire was burning her lower jaw. She had


    no idea what got into Euan, ¡°Let me go!¡±


    Tremendous anger and fury were surging up from Euan¡¯s chest. His eyebrows were frowned so much


    that they looked like a fast knot, ¡°What the hell did you dost night!¡±


    Riley used all her strength to prise Euan¡¯s hand from her lower jaw and to break away from his control.


    But their strengths differed too greatly, so she struggled and then failed.


    ¡°Ke ke...Ke ke...Euan...let...¡±


    ¡°Say it! What did you dost night!? Riley Watson, you are not giving up hope until youe to your


    tether''s end?¡±


    ¡°Pang!¡±


    His tough arms violently grabbed her body and then tossed her to the bed. As if in weightless condition,


    Riley¡¯s body circled in the bedroom and then hit the bed in a brutal way.


    ¡°Dong!¡± With her body hitting the bed, Riley felt all her bones hurting like hell. She was almost broken


    into pieces by him.


    She used her little hands to support her body against the bed and then shouted to him, ¡°Euan George!


    What the hell is wrong with you! I was working on night shiftst night! I was in the hospital. What could


    I possibly do!¡±


    Still lying! The fucking bitch!


    If she had behaved and admitted her mistakes, maybe he would be benevolent and let her live. But she


    didn¡¯t know how to appreciate favors!


    Suddenly, Euan pressed his tall and tough body upon her. His deep and indifferent eyes were fixated


    on her. In this narrow space, Riley had nowhere to escape to.


    ¡°You were cheating on me in the hospital! With your leader!¡±


    Bang!


    At the moment Euan threw his phone with a big screen onto her face, a thunder blew up in Riley¡¯s


    mind. On the screen was a picture of her and a man who were interacting intimately!


    Because the picture was taken at a certain angle, the man¡¯s face couldn¡¯t be seen. However...her


    posture seemed to indicate that she was getting close to the man¡¯s face and was about to kiss him!


    The picture was taken at the moment when William put the midnight snack on her desk, which only


    took less than one minute! William looked down at her and told her she should eat the midnight snack


    while it was still hot...


    But in the picture on the screen, clearly she was the one seducing the man.


    How could someone take this picture? No. How could this picture end up in Euan¡¯s phone?!


    Riley opened her eyes wide. Countless spections shed across her mind, which was in a mess!


    ¡°Riley Watson, you want to be a bitch so much!¡±


    Riley¡¯s head was still in a mess, and his cruel words struck her hard in a straight way. Riley said with


    her eyes full of tears, ¡°That¡¯s not true. Nothing happened between us.¡±


    Euan smiled. He sarcastically said with his mouth close to her face, ¡°Riley Watson. Once and twice,


    you keep challenging my bottom line!¡±


    Riley shook her head and grasped the quilt tightly, ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡±


    Out of anger and fury, Euan violently punched his fist on the bed, which made her body tremble, ¡°You


    want a divorce? Don¡¯t you?¡±


    Sorrow and bitterness overflew her eyes. She bit her lip, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Now that things hade to be like this, why not have a closure!


    ¡°I am telling you. In your dream! And don¡¯t forget I have warned you before that the men you touch will


    pay for their sins and that they are going to live in regret for the rest of their lives.¡±


    Then Euan got up from her body in an instant and grabbed his phone, ¡°Go to the JD Central Hospital...¡±


    Pang!


    Riley couldn¡¯t think it through and jumped up from the bed before swinging her arm to knock over his


    phone. Euan¡¯s phone fell from his hand and dropped on the ground. The screen was still on and


    showed that Euan was talking to Elijah.


    Euan¡¯s big hand was in the air as if it were still holding his phone. He squinted his deep eyes and


    turned around slowly, ¡°Riley Watson, you...¡±


    Before he finished his sentence, Riley picked up the phone quickly and hung up.


    Her fast speed made him astonished.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t true. What are you doing?¡±


    Riley got worried. She felt like she could still see how Euan tortured Kaysorn. She knew Euan would


    definitely do the same thing to William. William was innocent. She couldn¡¯t get him into trouble.


    Therefore, out of instinct, Riley stopped Euan.


    But she didn¡¯t know what she did to defense William only made Euan more furious.


    At this moment, the anger on his face was gradually fading away. His thin lips rose up and he asked


    with scorn in his voice, ¡°Riley Watson, you want to defense him so much? Now I am curious about who


    he is.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s none of his business. Euan George, I am the one you hate. And I am also the one you want to


    torture. Why do you have to drag others into these? Whatever you want to do, just target me.¡±


    Unafraid of his powerful vibe, Riley looked up at him. Though her palms were covered with sweat, her


    face still looked fearless.


    ¡°You?¡± Euan ridiculed and satirized her.


    ¡°Yes, me.¡±


    ¡°Who do you think you are?¡±


    His question made Riley feel speechless. In her pocket, her phone began vibrating crazily at a bad


    timing.


    Riley¡¯s heart tensed up and she felt like something bad was going to happen.


    But it didn¡¯t ur to her that it was Lydia who was calling.


    ¡°Riley Watson! Shame on you! Euan had only been on a business trip for one day, and you couldn¡¯t


    help but seduce another man. What a bitch you are!¡±


    Fuck!


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Riley wanted tough, ¡°Lydia Saunders, who are you to talk to me like that? Who are you to judge me


    after what you have done?!¡±


    ¡°Riley Watson, you can have no shame and cheat on your husband, but Euan can¡¯t have no shame!


    You did such dirty, despicable things in the hospital you work in. Aren¡¯t you afraid that you will be


    drowned by others¡¯ sliver?¡±


    Riley wrung her eyebrows and looked at Euan. He knew it, and she knew it.


    So how many people had known it?


    ¡°Lydia Saunders, watch out your mouth! Who seduced my man first? Who!¡±


    ¡°Me and Euan love each other with all our hearts! Three years ago, you...¡±


    ¡°Lydia!¡±


    Euan stopped Lydia from saying nastier things. He took the phone from Riley¡¯s hand. At the other end


    of the phone, Lydia felt like her breath was just taken away. She had nned to sweat at her loudly to


    vent her resentment. But now she froze.


    ¡°Euan, why are you ... with her?¡±


    Lydia¡¯s long fingers clutched the tassels on curtain. The tassels made of real silk twined around her


    fingers and were almost torn off.


    Didn¡¯t he say he was on a business trip? What was this now?


    ¡°Take good care of yourself and the baby. I will deal with this.¡± His deeps eyes never left Riley and the


    blood-thirsty look in them didn¡¯t decrease at all.


    ¡°Euan, Riley Watson was a disgrace to the George family. How much more shame is she going to bring


    to the George family? She is going to make the George family look like a joke. Euan, I feel so sorrowful


    for you. When I heard the news, me and the baby...¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Go have some rest.¡±


    Dropping the phone, Euan asked Riley immediately, ¡°Riley Watson, if anything happens to Lydia, do


    you think I am going to let you go?¡±


    At this moment, Riley¡¯s heart was turnedpletely cold by the change of Euan¡¯s tone.


    She was wrong. Euan George, who made everyone scared, did have a soft side. But his soft side


    would only be showed to a designated person.


    In his heart, Euan cared about Lydia Saunders.


    What a fool she was!


    She was so ignorant that she thought what Euan did for Lydia was no more than an act ording to


    the circumstances. What a joke!


    ¡°I...¡±


    At the moment of a deadlock, the bell of the vi rang up suddenly!

 Chapter 39 A Big and Warm Embrace

    Chapter 39 A Big and Warm Embrace


    What was he doing here?


    On the screen, Hendrix stood at the door with expectation all over his face. Because of something they


    were unaware of, Hendrix looked like he had attained a sess and was well-contented now.


    Riley frowned, ¡°You asked him toe?¡±


    Euan snorted coldly, ¡°You are not answering the door?¡±


    At this moment, Euan was feeling a bit confused.


    When the door was opened, Hendrix¡¯sughing rose up from the first floor to the second, ¡°Sister-inw,


    my brother was out on a business trip. You got up very early!¡±


    Riley wanted to tell him Euan was on the second floor, but before she opened her mouth, Hendrix


    already sat on the sofa without asking. He made himself at home and crossed his legs, ¡°Sister-inw,


    the bag you bought is great. It¡¯s thetest. They only have begun selling it in Europe recently.¡±


    ¡°No...¡±


    ¡°Sister-inw! Make me the breakfast that you made the other day! I haven¡¯t eaten yet and came for


    the breakfast you make.¡±


    Riley was feeling on edge and talked back with an unhappy voice, ¡°Hendrix, I am just off duty. I don¡¯t


    have the energy to make breakfast. Please go back.¡±


    Hendrix turned his head to her and bantered, ¡°Sister-inw, when I asked you to dinner, you rejected


    me immediately. But you were pretty close to the man doctor of your hospitalst night. You didn¡¯t even


    think before saying yes to him. And now I came here in person to ask for a breakfast. You are going to


    reject me again?¡±


    ¡°Hendrix George!¡±


    ¡°Hendrix.¡±


    Two different voices came into Hendrix¡¯s ears at the same time. Seeing his brother standing beside the


    staircase on the second floor, Hendrix was shocked and his face changed immediately. He stood up


    from the sofa and tried to make a natural smile, ¡°Brother, you are home? Didn¡¯t you go for a business


    trip?¡±


    Crap. Euan must have heard most of what he said before.


    The expression on Euan¡¯s face didn¡¯t change at all. He said coldly as if he didn¡¯t hear what Hendrix


    said, ¡°Go back.¡±


    Hendrix grinned, ¡°Brother, I am just here and you want me to go back?¡±


    ¡°Go back!¡±


    Dejected and despondent, Hendrix left the vi.


    Therge living room was full of silence.


    Euan¡¯s cold eyes were like bottomless brown pools, ¡°How are you going to exin to me?¡±


    Riley looked at the antique shelf, ¡°I have nothing to exin. I am clean.¡±


    Euan examined the woman before him with his eyes. She acted like a slut and drew the scumbag


    Kaysorn. And then she didn¡¯t forget to seduce a man when working a night shift. Now he heard that she


    had a meal with a man doctor. Besides...Hendrix thought he wasn¡¯t home and directly came to his


    house to ask for a breakfast. Riley Watson, after three years, you were really better at being a woman


    of loose morals!


    ¡°Woman, I will let you witness the consequences of your stubbornness.¡±


    Then he picked up his coat and car key before heading out. Riley run to him and grabbed his arm,


    ¡°Where are you going?¡±


    Euan nced at her hand which was holding his arm and shouted loudly, ¡°Loose your hand!¡±


    ¡°Euan George, what else do you want to do? How many people are you going to injure?¡±


    She questioned him and asked him how many people he was going to hurt. This cold-hearted, no, this


    heartless woman didn¡¯t even think about how much she had hurt him.


    Damn it! She could still act like she was sacrificing herself to protect others. Woman, how long were


    you going to fool me?


    ¡±You want a divorce? Okay, I will give you a chance.¡±


    Euan suddenly gave her a cold smile. He looked down at the woman before him. His deep eyes were


    invible and rejected any interruption.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Sitting in Euan¡¯s car, Riley thought about millions of possibilities. Did Euan really agree to the divorce?


    Or was he using the divorce as an excuse to humiliate her again?


    The car drove at an insanely fast speed as if it were flying. The speed represented Euan¡¯s fury. He was


    about to explode, and so was the speedometer.


    Looking up, Riley saw the gate of JD Central Hospital.


    Riley¡¯s hand clutched the safety belt tightly, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    She didn¡¯t know what to expect now. Why would Euan do this?


    Euan didn¡¯t know why they ended up here either. A minute before, his head was about to explode, and


    he wanted to choke Riley to death. But now he lost all his courage all of a sudden.


    It was funny though. He was the young master of the George family. Who would know that the famous


    Mr. George would ever go through such a moment?


    The ck Rolls-Royce stopped at the gate. In the car, it was dead-like silence. Outside the car, people


    were walking fast to go to work.


    Euan punched his fist on the steering wheel. He swore that this was thest time that he lost control for


    Riley Watson.


    But at the moment he was about to leave the hospital, his phone rang up. On the screen, it was the


    telephone number of the Saunders family.


    ¡°Mr. George, Ms. Saunders seems to have been stimted by something. She suddenly had a


    stomachache. Her father and mother are both not home. Pleasee quickly!¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Euan hung up the phone swiftly, ¡°Get off!¡±


    Riley¡¯s thought didn¡¯t catch up with Euan¡¯s. She froze at what he shouted.


    ¡°Get the fuck out!¡±


    She heard it loud and clear this time. And she understood it too.


    Her thin fingers opened the door violently. Riley stood beside the road like a fool and stared at Euan¡¯s


    car as it drove away.


    If she wasn¡¯t standing at the hospital¡¯s gate now, maybe what was going to happen wouldn¡¯t make her


    feel so embarrassed. However, when a person was in bad luck, he always ran into the most


    unfortunate things.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, why are you standing here? Please go have a look. The hospital is in a big mess now.¡±


    A doctor in white gown who just ran from the hospital to the outside to wait for an ambnce shouted


    to Riley.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Riley didn¡¯t know what all the fuss was about.


    ¡°Ah. Please go see for yourself.¡¯


    Riley frowned, ¡°Okay then.¡±


    After what had happened between her and Euan, could anything worse happen?


    Actually, it could.


    Riley hadn¡¯t slept for the whole night. But her dark eye circles were almost scared to disappearance at


    what she sawter.


    With a hand holding the mouse, Riley looked at a hot forum in scare. On the first page, the picture of


    her and William was posted at the centre by someone with a wicked mind.


    The headline in ck was legible and conspicuous...As a doctor, she took advantage of the night shift


    and boldly flirted with a strange man in the office!


    Below it was a fabricated story which was ridiculous but convincing at first sight.


    In the story, Riley was a slutty, shameless woman by her nature. Everyone could invite her to bed. She


    constantly had sex with doctors, patients and even their families in hospital. She was a slut who


    offended public decency.


    Riley was overweeningly arrogant. She relied on her little medical skills and treated others with


    contempt. She challenged the authority of her leaders in pubic. She bypassed the immediate


    leadership and did many unforgivable things.


    Every fabricated thing was depicted in detail. No wonder others would find them convincing.


    ¡°Such a doctor is a disgrace to the hospital. She insulted the profession of doctor!¡± This sentence was


    the end of the passage, which was also a summary.


    Blue veins throbbed on her forehead, and so were the distinct blue veins on her hand back!


    Standing beside her, Serena was shocked by her powerful and scary vibe. Serena struggled for a long


    while but still dared not to speak.


    Teddy walked to Riley¡¯s side and warned her in a gentle tone, ¡°Dr. Watson, rumors ended in the ears of


    a wise man. Don¡¯t let it weigh on your mind. You just took a night shift. Go back to have a rest now.¡±


    Go back? How could she go back now?


    Serena and Margot carefully observed the man¡¯s profile. They hadn¡¯t interacted with William yet, so


    they didn¡¯t know it was him.


    Riley stood up suddenly and strode out of the room.


    Serena thought at first that she was going to kill someone.


    ¡°Dr. Watson! Where are you going? Don¡¯t be impulsive! Being impulsive brings trouble! Don¡¯t...¡±


    ¡°I am going to the control room! I am going to find out who was stabbing me at my back.¡±


    Serena pulled her, ¡°It¡¯s no use. You are just a doctor and don¡¯t have the right to ask the security guards


    to pull out the CCTV footage.¡±


    Yes, she couldn¡¯t. But someone could.


    The same website page was now on William¡¯sputer screen too. It happenedst night and was all


    over the news this morning. Clearly, it was a well-devised plot.


    However... William frowned. The one who took the picture chose a specific angle so that only Riley¡¯s


    face was clearly showed and his face wasn¡¯t. Evidently, this was a deliberate nder on Riley.


    Who was stabbing Riley at her back? Who did Riley offend?


    William tossed the mouse away and stood up before heading out.


    ¡°I told you already. Don¡¯t be fooled by her appearance. She is innocent and elegant on the outside. But


    on the inside, she was filthy and dirty!¡±


    Nurses gathered together before theputer screen. Their gossips and abuses all fell into Riley¡¯s


    ears. She walked out of the duty room, and was about to take the elevator to the floor of the vice


    president¡¯s office. When she passed the nurse desk of the department of cardiology, she stopped.


    ¡°She dared to flirt with the man in the office of our hospital. She is so shameless. I was a fool to praise


    her as young and capable before.¡±


    ¡°Maybe it is only the tip of the iceberg. Didn¡¯t you see what the informant wrote? What shemitted


    before was more outrageous and nastier than this thing.¡±


    Riley¡¯s bleary red eyes smiled coldly. She clutched on to the division te for support. Her mouth


    corner slightly rose up. Because she found it all so hrious and ridiculous, she appeared calm and


    rxed.


    ¡°Someone in thements section disclosed that she beat and cursed her stepmother. She often


    loses her temper at her stepmother and disrespects her at all.¡±


    ¡°Gosh! Someone disclosed that Riley Watson was already married and that she hid this fact on


    purpose to seduce other men.¡±


    ¡°This one is more outrageous. The reason why she managed to resolve the medical dispute and was


    rewarded with a silk banner before was that she apanied an official for one night! Is it true...¡±


    ¡°Stop talking. She¡¯s here.¡±


    A nurse said with a low voice, and others became silent too.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking? You were discussing about me, right? Didn¡¯t you intend to let me hear it?¡±


    There was no embarrassment on her face. Instead, she made the nurses who were squawking feel


    embarrassed.


    ¡°Dr. Watson...¡±


    ¡°You think that¡¯s me?¡± Sheughed at herself.


    The nurses all looked at each other. No one dared to speak.


    ¡°Riley Watson, you do have an innocent face which can fool everyone. Even I didn¡¯t know that behind


    your doctor¡¯s gown was such a wicked heart.¡±


    Jeanne¡¯s scornful sarcasm came out. Then it was the clear sound which rang up when her high-heeled


    shoes touched the ground. Holding a case file in her hand, Jeanne looked like she was just passing by.


    Riley clenched her fists, ¡°Vice director Pouchain, be careful with your mouth!¡±


    Jeanne¡¯s rosy red lips opened and closed, ¡°You don¡¯t forget to swear at others at this moment? Riley


    Watson, I look froward to your future performance in this hospital. Oh, by the way, if you are afraid that


    you might get fired, you cane to me. Thinking of how hard you have worked for this hospital, I may


    plead for you.¡±


    Dropping thest sentence, Jeanne nced at Riley with despise and strode away with her long legs


    wrapped by a pair of jeans.


    The nurses lowered their heads and began giggling.


    Riley was so infuriated that her fair face turned pale. She walked to the elevator and pressed the ¡°up¡±


    button crazily. When she was fidget, the elevator door opened.


    Before Riley could step forward, a big, strong hand reached out from the inside and grabbed her arm.


    Then the hand directly dragged her into the elevator.


    She didn¡¯t have time to see who it was. Suddenly, everything went ck and a clear and fresh smell


    filled her nose. The familiar smell broke the silence and spread out.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    The wound on Riley¡¯s knee was scratched. Feeling pain, suddenly she lost her footing and slipped


    down. Her body began leaning backwards!


    But then her back went soft and she fell into a big and warm embrace.

 Chapter 40 You Were Pregnant Too?

    Chapter 40 You Were Pregnant Too?


    She looked up in surprise. The man above her head was smiling to her gently. His smile was as warm


    as the sunlight in early spring.


    After Riley came to herself, she broke away from his arms immediately and kept thergest distance


    from him. Her face darkened and didn¡¯t show any expression. She looked as cold as the snow in


    winter.


    William smiled softly, ¡°I am sorry. I did that to avoid more misunderstandings. I was in a rush and


    offended you. Sorry.¡±


    As clear as a crystal, he looked polite and educated. Riley felt like she shouldn¡¯t be angry with him, or


    she would look petty.


    ¡°You came to find me, right? I was looking for you too.¡±


    She didn¡¯t want to waste any time and came straight to the point.


    ¡°Find you? I didn¡¯t know you were in the hospital. You took a night shift yesterday. You are supposed to


    be home and resting.¡±


    She forgot it.


    ¡°Do you know...¡± Riley wanted to speak it out but then stopped. After all it was a scandal, how could


    she just say it out loud without feeling embarrassed?


    ¡°I saw the news on the forum too. I was going to the control room on the first floor to check the CCTV


    footage.¡±


    He thought of it too?


    Riley nodded with gratitude. But she still didn¡¯t show any emotions on the face, ¡°I am going too. I must


    find the culprit. I am not going to just let this go.¡±


    William looked at Riley, who was like a little leopard that was so angry that the hair on her was all


    standing. Somehow, he thought the angry Riley was way cuter than the normal one. When she was


    angry, her eyebrows were wrung together. She knitted her eyebrows. Her lips, which were little, tender


    and pink, were pursed inwards. Her little face wrinkled. She looked innocent and attractive.


    ¡°I will help you.¡± William said firmly.


    Riley looked at him, ¡°Of course you are going to help me. We are both involved in this matter. But I am


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    the only one who is being used by everyone else.¡±


    William smiled like a gentleman, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will not run away. We are going to go through this


    together. If necessary, you can say I am your boyfriend.¡±


    Boyfriend?


    ¡°No need. Vice president Hardesty, it¡¯s very nice of you to say that...¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, what are you rejecting?¡±


    ¡°I...nothing!¡±


    The elevator door opened, and two of them strode towards the control room.


    But the CCTV footage was deleted by someone ahead of time. There was no trace of anything!


    Damn it!


    Now what? If they couldn¡¯t find the culprit, how could she rify her innocence? Rumor was just like a


    bottomless pit. Once you fell into it, you could only keep going down. In the end, she might be a target


    for all!


    All of a sudden, William held Riley¡¯ wrist, ¡°Follow me.¡±


    ¡°Vice president, what are you doing?¡±


    They hurried out of the control room on the first floor. William held Riley¡¯s wrist and walked out of the


    revolving door. When they went through the revolving ss door, a dark shadow came in. It was a man


    who was carrying a woman with his arms. The blue veins on Riley¡¯s forehead stood out. Why did that


    person''s silhouette look so familiar?


    Euan, who walked past them just now, looked back and saw Riley¡¯s hand was held by a man in


    doctor¡¯s gown. At the revolving door, two of them exited and two of them entered. It happened so fast.


    It was like fate was ying a trick on four of them.


    ¡°Vice president Hardesty, what are you doing?¡±


    Outside the hospital, Riley threw away William¡¯s hand and questioned him while gasping.


    William looked around the big garden in the hospital. Hibiscus and rose were all blooming now. They


    were colorful and beautiful. Their fragrance was all over the garden.


    ¡°I was afraid that if you couldn¡¯t get some fresh air, you were going to suffocate to death in there. You


    are not fit to go in there now. Take a walk here, or go out to have a nice meal. Or maybe go back to


    have a sound sleep.¡±


    Agitated by what William said, Riley snorted smiling, ¡°Of course, you are standing aloof from this matter


    on the ground that it is no concern of yours. Your face isn¡¯t showed in the picture, so you are not


    worried at all.¡±


    ¡°Then please answer me, Dr. Watson. You were so worried. Did it produce any fruit?¡±


    ¡°I need to do something.¡±


    Riley looked up at him stubbornly. She was like a stubborn little girl and a capable woman who didn¡¯t


    ept failure at the same time. At this moment, in William¡¯s eyes, Riley looked more attractive and


    stunning.


    A slight breeze was stirring the flowers. Meanwhile, the phone in her pocket began vibrating. So she


    stopped looking at William and the many thoughts that were guing her mind were stopped too.


    ¡°Get to the department of gynaecology and obstetrics.¡±


    The voice was as cold as ice and almost went through Riley¡¯s spine. The voice in the phone was


    was Euan George.


    She put her phone back to her pocket, ¡°I am going in.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, are you a masochism?¡±


    She smiled, ¡°Just think of me as one.¡±


    Riley walked ahead, and William chased after her. They were both walking fast. But still, at the


    revolving door, William fell behind and Riley walked in first. Therefore, she entered the elevator first.


    Then Riley disappeared in William¡¯s sight.


    At the department of gynaecology and obstetrics and outside the office of Lydia¡¯s attending doctor, a


    tall man was standing there with one hand in his pocket. He looked invible.


    Riley took a deep breath and walked to him, ¡°How is she?¡±


    Euan didn¡¯t look back. During the several minutes when he stood here waiting for the results, he had


    already heard all kinds of stories about Riley.


    In different stories, there were different adjectives and sarcasms. He kept hearing new words they used


    to describe Riley.


    Riley worked in this hospital, and now they were all targeting her. Was it because she really did what


    they said, or was it because she was envied and framed by others?


    ¡°The doctor is checking her. If something happens to her...¡±


    ¡°You said it already. If something happens to her, you are not going to let me walk free. It has only been


    several hours. I didn¡¯t forget it yet.¡±


    Euan was feeling a bit sorry for her just now. But her aggressiveness put it all out now.


    Now that she was so capable and confident, even if the sky fell, she could cope with it all by herself!


    The news that Lydia was carried by Euan to the hospital soon spread out. In several minutes, the


    hospital was overflown with journalists who were crowding together like sardines.


    And some journalists even managed to pass through the security guards and got into the department of


    gynaecology and obstetrics!


    JD Central Hospital was crowded and bustling with people today. Lydia was the patient. The president


    of the MBK International Corporation was waiting for the results. And the protagonist of thetest


    scandal was standing at the office door of Lydia¡¯s attending doctor too.


    With eyes zing with fire, the journalists exerted all efforts to catch the opportunity. The news was


    going to be a bomb this time!


    ¡°Ms. Watson, some informant said that when you were working night shiftst night, you interacted


    intimately with a strange man in the office. Can you tell us if it is true?¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, you resolved a medical dispute not long ago and in the end, the patient¡¯s family


    apologized to you as a whole, which opened a page for the rtionship between doctors and patient¡¯s


    family. Did you really manage it through doing something in secrecy?¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, who is the man in the picture? What¡¯s your rtionship? Are you lovers? Or is he, as the


    informant said, just a strange man?¡±


    Lovers?


    Hearing this word, Euan, whose back was facing the journalists, frowned. He didn¡¯t do or say anything,


    awaiting her answer.


    But Riley peeked at Euan¡¯s quickly and secretly, wanting to see his reaction.


    As she had expected, Euan didn¡¯t have any reaction.


    She was not Lydia Saunders and hadn¡¯t received any professional PR training. She couldn¡¯t polish her


    answers with any high-sounding words. Not scared or self-debased, she just followed her heart and


    kept silent for the whole time.


    Euan kept silent for the whole time too as if he didn¡¯t know the woman beside him. At this moment, the


    office door of Lydia¡¯s attending doctor opened. As the family member who apanied the patient,


    Euan walked in.


    In the corridor, the journalists kept bombing Riley with questions. She didn¡¯t have anyone to depend on


    now. She hadn¡¯t been expecting Euan would help her, but she couldn¡¯t ept that Euan abandoned


    her and directly left either.


    He didn¡¯t even show a bit ofpassion for her.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, you are the doctor of the department of cardiology. Why are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°Riley Watson, are you here to do the pregnancy test too? Then whose baby are you carrying?¡±


    God!


    Pregnancy test? Pregnancy!


    The journalists were really good at making a fuss over a trifle.


    Because of these questions, Riley felt fidget and agitated. The situation was unfavorable to her. She


    must leave immediately!


    When she was about to leave, the office door was opened. Euan carried Lydia with his arms and


    walked out. Lydia, who looked as tender and weak as a willow branch, buried her head in Euan¡¯s chest.


    The sight full of love made people around envious.


    ¡°Lydia! Lydia Saunders is out!¡±


    Hearing this cry, the journalists all rushed forward. Pushed by them, Riley couldn¡¯t help but step back.


    Her shoulders and feet were both injured seriously. Suffering from the pain, she could hear the


    repulsive scream andughter beside her ears.


    For such a nobody as her, even if she was in the center of a scandal, the journalists would all abandon


    her as soon as theyid their eyes on Lydia Saunders. Riley tried hard to break away from the crowd


    and left the department of gynaecology and obstetrics.


    The noise and excitement behind were all thrown away by her.


    She thought she could just walk away as an outsider. But she didn¡¯t know the lofty and proud woman


    could directly knock her to the hell with a simple question.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, where are you going?¡±


    Through the microphone, what Lydia said softly was magnified a hundred times and rang through the


    corridor.


    Stimted, the journalists became more excited. They were swept off their feet!


    The big star Lydia Saunders knew this ordinary doctor?


    Riley¡¯s feet stopped suddenly and she couldn¡¯t walk forward anymore.


    Lydia gently pulled Euan¡¯s cor as if she didn¡¯t have any strength left. The grievance on her face was


    touching and she looked like she was about to cry. With agony and pain, she said word by word, ¡°Dr.


    Watson, I once asked you to dispense medicine that can nourish the baby for me. But I didn¡¯t think you


    would put poison in my medicine and try to kill my baby.¡±


    What?!


    The doctor from the department of cardiology dispensed medicine for Lydia Saunders and tried to kill


    her baby! What on earth was this!


    ¡°Ms. Saunders. Ms. Saunders, what¡¯s your rtionship with Riley Watson?¡±


    ¡°Do you have any personal animosity towards her?¡±


    The journalists¡¯ hearts were at their throats. This was a shocking news! It was even more shocking than


    the news concerning Riley before!


    Lydia looked at Euan, who didn¡¯t have any expression at all. After hearing what the doctor said and


    Lydia¡¯s crying and weeping, Euan had already believed them with no question. The scale in his heart


    had tilted.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, we know each other and we were once friends. How could you do this to me just because


    you are jealous that I am famous and have found a good man?¡±


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    All present froze with shock! Riley Watson...was a friend of Lydia Saunders and tried to kill her baby out


    of jealousy?!


    What Lydia did was cruel and ferocious! She was full of nonsense.


    Hearing Lydia spitting out crap, Riley felt like the top of her skull was about to jump up. She opened her


    eyes wide, ¡°What¡¯s are you talking about!? Lydia Saunders!¡±


    Lydia smiled softly, ¡°It¡¯s alright that you don¡¯t admit it. I don¡¯t want to hold it against you either. I just feel


    sad and sorry for our friendship in the past.¡±


    The journalists were all crazy now! Their microphones all targeted Riley. These microphones were like


    grenades which would bomb her to pieces at any moment!


    ¡°Dr. Watson, is it true that you took advantage of your upation and harmed Ms. Saunders?¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, what you did was illegal and your license should be revoked!¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, you attempted to murder a baby. Aren¡¯t you afraid that it will cost you your life too!¡±


    The questions were getting more and more outrageous. They were bullying her with words. She felt like


    she was about to be devoured by these tsunami and flooding.


    She looked through the journalists which were like blood-thirsty sharks and stared at Euan and Lydia in


    the eye. She gave them a bitter smile, which was so bitter that her throat run dry. She couldn¡¯t spit out


    a single word.


    The gorgeous face of Euan looked spotless and perfect. His deeps eyes were so bright under the light.


    His eyebrows were like a strong wind or a zing fire. His thin lips were kept closed.


    There were many emotions on his face, but notpassion.


    Her heart was broken in half by a hawkbill.


    ¡°What are you doing!¡±


    A clear, cold and aggressive voice travelled through the corridor, interrupting the journalists¡¯ bustling


    and rudeness.


    A figure in white showed up. Under the bright light, the figure looked morous.


    Followed by several leaders of the hospital, William walked towards the crowd. The several figures in


    white forced upon the journalists like a strong and fierce tornado.


    Riley looked up in shock and saw William¡¯s eyes which were brimming with radiating vigour.

 Chapter 41 Ill Protect Whats Mine

    Chapter 41 I''ll Protect What''s Mine


    Riley''s gaze moved from Euan to William¡­ Right when he came, she knew that she was saved.


    Seeing the person in charge of the hospitaling over, Euan carried Lydia to the other elevator


    entrance.


    He thought that he could wait until she started seeking for help, but he never thought that she''d rather


    be surrounded than showing her weakness.


    He watched her coldly and forced her to the end, just to wait her seek for his help.


    But she didn''t even have the intention to know him, just like a stranger, no worse than a stranger.


    He''s waiting, thinking that she would pull him and tell the reporters right away, ¡°I have a husband, he''s


    right here!¡±


    If so, he''d suppress all his anger and save her.


    He could bully her woman, but no other people could! Even worse, a group of reporters!


    But she didn''t, she just confronted everything with silence and no sign of weakness.


    Riley didn''t need him.


    Her world could tolerate one after another disgusting man, while he''s the only intolerable one.


    The path she had chosen, let her walk through it on her own! Without his intervention, he just wanted to


    wait and see, how she''d be like.


    William saw Riley first, before he saw Euan.


    Reporters already surrounded her inside the garage, bombarding her with cameras and all was rted


    to them.


    Then, that was not a coincidence.


    William had no name tag on him to prove his identity, but judging by his manner, he shouldn''t be of a


    low status.


    Those reporters couldn''t help observing him, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    William walked through the crowd and protected Riley behind him, the strong will to protect her stunned


    everyone who saw that.


    Euan had seen everything, so... He''s that doctor?


    He lowered his gaze and saw the man suddenly grabbing her hand!


    Damn it!


    ¡°I''m the person that can answer everything that you doubt!¡±


    One of Euan''s feet had stepped into the elevator as William finished his sentence.


    The elevator door closed, Euan carried Lydia without saying anything, they were going to the VIP


    special ward.


    Lydia tugged his cor, looking so pitiful, ¡°Euan, I''m so scared, I''m scared that she''ll do things that will


    hurt our baby again... Euan, I''m not a match for her, what if we just move to another hospital?¡±


    ¡°No need, she wouldn''t dare to do anything to you.¡± the man''s voice sounded as cold as ice.


    A few teardrops came out of Lydia''s eyes, ¡°Euan, I didn''t expect that it woulde down to this, I had


    such a close rtionship with her back then, how could she... Euan, stay and apany me in the


    hospital, okay? I''m alone in the hospital, just in case reporterse...¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    That''s the same cold voice¡­ But that was enough.


    She wanted that result.


    Lydia buried her face on his arm, grinning.


    She really thanked that child, she''d really have to protect the child well.


    In the corridor, Riley and William were still surrounded by reporters.


    ¡°Since you''re the person in charge of the hospital, please give a clear exnation first... Dr. Watson


    prescribed a drug that''s harmful to the baby, shouldn''t she be legally responsible? Also, be expelled


    from the hospital?¡±


    William didn''t even want to give him a polite smile, he kept a straight face as he said, ¡°We need to


    examine the drug to know whether there''s a harmful substance in it, else than that, we should also


    check whether the residue was left inside the patient''s body.¡±


    He spoke so calmly, not panicking at all, his strong aura was reassuring to other people.


    ¡°But, Ms. Saunders did get hurt because of Dr. Watson''s medicine, judging by their previous


    rtionship. Dr. Watson has an obvious motive for murder.¡±


    Ha! He even said murder.


    William still kept her within his protection. His eyes were sharp when he said, ¡°Murder? Sir, with that


    sentence of yours, I have the right to file awsuit for defamation and nder, please pay attention to


    what you say.¡±


    Reporter, ¡°...¡±


    ¡°Whether our doctor identally used the wrong medicine, or the patient ate foods that were ill-


    matched caused byck of knowledge, it should be investigated, but don''t worry¡­ Since it happened in


    our hospital, we''ll definitely find the truth at any cost and let the world know about it, you can just wait


    for the truth.¡±


    He just casually said a few words and stopped all reporters'' further questions. With Riley''s personality,


    he believed that she wouldn''t do such thing; it''s not that she didn''t have the chance to, but she would


    think that it''s not worth doing.


    As for what kind of person Riley was, it could be seen from all the details.


    He had never heard the name "Lydia" overseas, but what he heard that day was just a mediocre


    person!


    Riley looked up, there was a slight gratitude in her eyes, but she quickly looked back down.


    ¡°Then, what''s your exnation for the doctor in your hospital to flirt with stranger during work time?¡±


    ¡°That''s right! Such a corruptmon decency! How would she exin it?!¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth, wanting to say something, William pressed on her wrists.


    ¡°Flirting? I just saw our doctor working hard reading medical records in the office,te at night, and her


    friend or lover sent her somete-night snacks. What about it? A snack sent with love unexpectedly


    can cause such a bad name, after the news gets broadcasted, will anyone dare to send foods to their


    loved ones¡¯ workce?¡±


    He said something warm and moving, it was like a strong wind that swept away the dirt and dust on her


    body... He''s not angry, not impatient, and his tone is calm and powerful, and no one could pick out any


    fault out of him.


    ¡°Who are you? You''re protecting her so much, are you really only her colleague? Just her boss?¡±


    Finally, there''s a slight change in William''s expression... That''s right, he smiled, it only took one second


    from his cold smile when he looked at the reporter to his warm smile when he looked at her.


    ¡°Then it means that you''re not as lucky as our doctor, who met good colleague and leader, I''ll try my


    best to protect what''s mine. I''ll use the legal means if those malicious nders on the forum are not


    deleted by 12P.M. Today.¡±


    He said ¡°mine¡±...


    It was a word with two meanings!


    None of the reporters dared to say anything else because of William''s proper words.


    People who were watching there for excitement returned angrily, while Riley became rxed.


    In the elevator, Riley politely said, ¡°Thank you for what you did just now.¡±


    The people behind William were all very sensible that they left the elevator for the two of them, it''s


    another closed space but her mood changed.


    His mood also changed.


    ¡°If you really want to thank me, don''t show the expression like I owed you money, the matter is settled,


    and you''re still not in the mood?¡±


    Riley couldn''t helpughing, ¡°The vice president that seemed refined and gentle unexpectedly became


    so harsh when dealing with reporters.¡±


    How many times had he said simr words to get through problems?


    William looked at his left hand that just grabbed her finger, he thenughed, ¡°I didn''t expect that you


    could have such a strong break out, you''ve done experiments in biology sses, right? When a mother


    eagle protects its babies, sometimes it could fight a wolf.¡±


    Uhh... There seemed to be something wrong in that metaphor.


    Riley was really amused that time, ¡°Understood, your maternal love was just in a break out, thanks to


    mother eagle''s love, it''s babies will learnter.¡±


    William rubbed the space between his eyebrows, he made the wrong move!


    ¡°By the way, may I ask what your actual rtionship with Euan is? Your gaze at him just now... was


    quite special.¡±


    He questioned for the second time, but she still answered perfunctory.


    ¡°Nothing.¡±


    Seemed like, he guessed it right, Riley''s unknown husband was Euan.


    Riley''s husband was unexpectedly a person that''s so hard to deal with, William frowned again, the


    difficulty increased a lot because Euan was really not an ordinary person.


    ¡°Seems like I have to adjust my tactics.¡± he sounded like he''s talking to himself.


    ¡°What tactics?¡±


    ¡°Hm... Seducing.¡±


    ¡°...¡±


    To prove Riley''s innocence, as the vice president, William ordered thorough investigation of the blood


    supplements she had taken and asked for Lydia''s blood and urine for examination.


    Once Lydia heard that there''d be examination, her expression immediately changed as she strongly


    refused it.


    Euan stood on the head of the bed, the doctor in charge of blood sampling didn''t dare to force her.


    ¡°Mr. George, the matter concerns the innocence and professional career of the doctor in my hospital. I


    hope you can let Ms. Saunders cooperate with us.¡±


    ¡°I''m not going to! This is humiliating! Euan, tell them to go out!¡±


    Euan looked down at her, ¡°You should cooperate as he will take your blood for the examination.¡±


    Lydia bawled, ¡°I don''t want to! You just don''t believe me! Tell Riley toe and confront me! Ask her


    whether she had the intention to murder me!¡±


    She cried and made a fuss, the doctor didn''t know how to conclude it and had to leave instead.


    After the doctor left, Euan pressed Lydia''s hand that was struggling, "Are you not going to tell the


    truth?"


    Lydia opened her eyes widely as she looked at him restlessly, ¡°Euan, what does that mean?¡±


    Euan shook her hand away, ¡°Then you should think carefully about what I meant.¡±


    Right after he said that, Euan turned around and left the ward, he also called Elijah at that time, ¡°Send


    someone to take care of her.¡±


    ¡°Yes, boss. How would you like to handle those reporters?¡±


    ¡°Keep the things, let them go away.¡±


    Hearing his tone, Elijah knew that "go away" wasn''t that simple, clearly, someone was going to have a


    bad luck.


    ¡°Yes, boss, that... Madam is there, should I go and take a look? Such thing happened, Madam must


    be...¡±


    ¡°Elijah, you only need to do what you have to do!¡±


    Elijah didn''t dare to do make a decision on her own anymore, but he felt that the person who got hurt


    the most in that incident was Madam.


    The boss didn''t care about her, even Elijah felt sad about that.


    ¡°Find someone to delete the forum''s post.¡± he ordered before hanging up, right after he said that, he


    added something else, "Seal his ount.¡±


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    ¡°Yes! Don''t worry, boss.¡±


    After giving the order, Euan walked out of the hospital''s door, He sat in the Rolls Royce in a grumpy


    mood and strongly hit the steering wheel.


    Once he thought of the scene where the male doctor protected Riley in the corridor, he felt very angry


    at heart!


    What''s even more annoying was, she unexpectedly let him hug her without struggling at all!


    Euan was angry; he really wanted to ask clearly who that man actually was! What did it have to do with


    her!


    Whether he was the one on the forum! Whether he was the male doctor that Hendrix said!


    It would be best if the fact was different from what he imagined!


    Because Euan could really do anything when he was angry!

 Chapter 42 Slap in the Face without Letting the Master Know

    Chapter 42 p in the Face without Letting the Master Know


    "Riley Watson,e to my ward right now!"


    As soon as Riley got out of a dilemma, she got a call from Lydia. Riley frowned and said to William next


    to her, "Mr. Hardesty, I have to deal with some private affairs, and I¡¯ll leave you alone."


    Lydia had better find Riley for something serious, or Dr. Watson, who didn¡¯t get enough sleep, would


    crush her to death.


    Through the receiver, William heard the sharp voice on the other end of the phone just now, "Do you


    want me to go with you?"


    "No, I can handle it myself."


    Before William said "be careful", Riley had already stepped back.


    Riley...How much energy did the thin woman store in her heart? She could be so calm after dealing


    with the reporters¡¯ terrible questions.


    This time, psychology didn¡¯t help him.


    Outside the VIP ward stood a few bodyguards in ck uniforms. They stood straight with their hands


    down. Their oversized sunsses covered most of their faces. They were all expressionless, looking


    cool.


    Riley sneered. What a poser!


    As soon as she came in, Riley looked down at the lying woman with her arms around her chest and


    said, "Come on! Now you can say what you didn¡¯t dare to say in front of Euan"


    Lydia grasped the white quilt with her slender fingers, and she looked very angry. She goggled at Riley


    with anger as if she wanted to tear Riley to pieces, "Riley, you are a bitch!"


    Riley frowned and looked down at Lydia. She was back to her old self again, very confident, "Lydia, if


    you don¡¯t have any new tricks, just stop! Don¡¯t waste my time!"


    Lydia sneered and became angrier. She hated Riley so much. Riley lost her family business to her


    stepmother and she was even driven out of the Watson family. But why was she so confident and


    calm?


    Lydia really hated Riley. Even if Riley didn¡¯t get love from Euan and she had no foothold in the George


    family, she could live in peace.


    Lydia hated Riley! Whether in the past or at present, the men around Riley were always willing to


    protect her, which never stopped!


    Why was that person Riley! Lydia was no worse than Riley in many ways! Her birth, background,


    appearance and social status were no worse than Riley¡¯s. And Lydia was one of the few national idols!


    But Riley was just a little doctor in the office!


    Lydia hated Riley. She wanted Riley to die!


    "Riley, why don¡¯t you divorce?" Lydia¡¯s white face almost distorted. Lydia, who was praised as the


    person having the most beautiful face in Asia, had nothing to do with "beautiful" now.


    It turned out that Lydia really had something to talk about with Riley. She just wanted to urge Riley to


    get divorced.


    Riley raised her eyes and retorted with disdain, "Lydia, You¡¯d better find out who¡¯s the one who doesn¡¯t


    want to divorce? You should convince Euan and I¡¯ll be here you any time."


    Lydia spat at her, "Bah! Euan doesn¡¯t want to divorce you? You are the disgrace of the George family,


    so Euan hasn¡¯t admitted your existence until now! You are a disgrace!"


    Lydia began a series of personal attacks.


    Riley sneered indifferently, "Lydia, I advise you to lie down and have a good rest. Anger can make


    people ugly, and you live on your beautiful appearance. If your appearance is not good-looking, Euan,


    your beloved, would not look at you."


    Lydia threw back the quilt and got out of bed, "Riley, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you know


    that I can kick you out of the medicalmunity forever?"


    "But before that, Ms. Saunders, you had better provide your blood and urine to let the hospital


    investigate the drug incident clearly, otherwise, the hospital and I will charge you with nder. I know


    you have a background and you¡¯re not afraid ofwsuits. But it doesn¡¯t matter. I have plenty of time,


    just you wait!"


    Barefoot people were not afraid of people wearing shoes. Riley had nothing, so she nothing to fear!


    "Bitch!"


    Lydia raised her hand and wanted to p Riley. But Riley also raised one hand, held Lydia¡¯s wrist


    tightly, and then shook her hand away, "I warned you that you had better have some new tricks. Are


    you going to provide the relevant humor now, or wait for mywyer¡¯s letter? "


    Lydia couldn¡¯t refute with her lips trembling. She didn¡¯t make a sound for a while.


    Riley¡¯s attitude was firm. It was tied to the medical ethics and her reputation, so she would never make


    a concession. If Lydia just disturbed her in love affairs, Riley didn¡¯t care. But at work, Riley didn¡¯t allow


    Lydia to ruin her career!


    Rileyughed, "Or, I¡¯ll give you a n. You immediately dere to the media that you ate something


    you shouldn¡¯t eat, which made you sick. Come on, I¡¯ll give you ten minutes."


    With that, Riley looked at the watch on her wrist, "Let¡¯s count down!"


    Lydia gritted her teeth in anger, but in face of Riley, she couldn¡¯t fight back. She clearly remembered


    Euan¡¯s attitude when he left, so she knew that this was not the time for her to be stubborn.


    She gritted her teeth, picked up the phone and gave Riley an angry nce, with her fingers clutching


    the clothes tighter, "Hey, Sia Perry¡­ You tell the reporters that there was no problem with the


    medicine. I just ate the wrong food¡­ Don¡¯t ask so much and just do as I say¡­ I¡¯ll hang up."


    When Lydia finished, Rileyughed, "That¡¯s right. Lydia, you¡¯d better stop ying tricks in front of me.


    Maybe when I¡¯m in a good mood, I¡¯ll take the initiative to divorce Euan. But if you make me angry, I¡¯m


    not willing to give up the position of Euan¡¯s wife to you."


    "Go away! Get out! Get out of here!"


    Lydia pointed to the ward door and angrily drove Riley away.


    Riley looked around the ward, sneered, "VIP ward is good, but you live alone. Do you feel lonely?"


    "Go away! Get out of here!"


    Ignoring Lydia¡¯s anger, Riley walked out of the ward at her own pace.


    After a few steps, standing at the elevator entrance, Riley closed her eyes wearily. She was really tired.


    What happened recently made her tired and sick.


    She wanted to end this kind of life, and she wanted to live a quiet life.


    However, it had not over yet.


    Before Riley left the hospital, she got a call from her mother-inw, Anika. After taking a deep breath,


    she answered the phone, "Mom..."


    "Where are you?"


    "I¡¯m in the hospital."


    "Come to Mr. Houston¡¯s office right away!"


    Anika? Mr. Houston¡¯s office? What happened?


    With doubts, Riley went upstairs and stood at the door of Mr. Houston¡¯s office. She looked up and saw


    Anika with rich and magnificent clothes sitting on the sofa. No matter where and when, Anika was well


    dressed.


    Mr. Houston was just talking to Anika. He seemed to beforting Anika, but obviously, Anika didn¡¯t


    ept it.


    Wait. Why did Mr. Houston seem to have known Anika for a long time? And they seemed to have a


    good rtionship.


    As soon as Riley came in, she had a sense of foreboding. But before she called Anika¡ª


    Anika got up from the sofa. Before Riley stood steadily, Anika went forward and pped Riley!


    "Pa!"


    Anika pped Riley hard, making a loud voice.


    Riley was pped so hard that her head went to the side! Riley had a fishy smell in her mouth. Riley


    slowly turned her head around, and red blood was streaming down from her mouth.


    Riley got terrible bruise on her white face. The red marks were so shocking!


    Mr. Houston was also frightened by Anika¡¯s anger. He got up and pulled Anika, "Mrs. George, calm


    down. Dr. Watson didn¡¯t mean to hurt Ms. Saunders. It was just a misunderstanding."


    She dide for Riley.


    Anika didn¡¯t give Riley a chance to speak, but coldly stared at her, "Riley, remember that Lydia is the


    future daughter-inw of the George family. She is pregnant with Euan¡¯s baby. If you hurt her, I will


    drive you out of the hospital!"


    Riley clenched her fist. She was not afraid of Lydia, but she was afraid of the bossy woman in front of


    her. She was Mrs. George, Euan¡¯s biological mother. What she said should not be taken lightly.


    Riley felt aggrieved and raised her right hand, "I never hurt Lydia Saunders. She has publicly admitted


    that today¡¯s event is a misunderstanding."


    "Shut up! Lydia¡¯s name is not what you can call! You are a shameless woman!"


    Riley was hurt by her. Her strength and crumbling dignity werepletely shattered by Anika. She


    didn¡¯t have time to clean up her scattered dignity.


    Anika continued, "Mr. Houston, I don¡¯t want to say anything else. For the sake of Lydia¡¯s safety, I hope


    that this woman will not step into obstetrics and gynecology department in the future."


    Mr. Houston nodded. At this moment, he could not disobey Anika, "Mrs. George, don¡¯t worry. I will


    manage my subordinates well."


    Anika picked up her handbag and swaggered out of Mr. Houston¡¯s office.


    Riley still felt dizzy. She looked up and held back her tears!


    "Riley¡­" Mr. Houston sighed, "This time, I know you feel aggrieved, but you and I can¡¯t offend the


    people of the George family. And, how many people dare to fight against the George family in JD city?"


    Looking at the bruise on her face, Mr. Houston shook his head, "Go back and have a good rest. I¡¯ll give


    you a few days off."


    Riley resisted her grievances and pretended to be strong, "Mr. Houston, I¡¯m fine."


    She staggered out of Mr. Houston¡¯s office. Several times, her tears almost came out, but she kept


    warning herself not to cry. Riley couldn¡¯t cry! No one in the George family was worth her tears.


    But the more she told herself, the more aggrieved she felt. And her grievances were nowhere to be


    released. So, all the grievances and hatred were blocked in her heart, which made her feel suffocated.


    "Dr. Watson, what¡¯s the matter with you?"


    William went upstairs to Mr. Houston to sign. But when he came out of the elevator, he met Riley who


    was listless.


    "Nothing." She bit her lips and gave a kind of sob as she said.


    "What¡¯s wrong with your face?" William subconsciously clenched Riley¡¯s shoulders. His concern and


    surprise made his voice rapid and anxious.


    Riley shook her shoulders and tried to get rid of William¡¯s hands, but she failed. She just said,


    "Nothing."


    "You were beaten like this, and you say it¡¯s nothing. You have such a serious bruise, and you need to


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    do anti-inmmatory treatment immediately. Come with me, I¡¯ll make a coldpress for you."


    Riley struggled, "No, I can do it myself."


    He took her by the wrist and said insistently, "Don¡¯t be stubborn. You don¡¯t have to pretend to be strong


    in front of me."


    He pulled her to his private lounge.


    This was Riley¡¯s first time here. The lounge was on the top floor of the hospital. His one-bedroom


    lounge was very clean. Except for a few medical books on the desk, other ces were very clean and


    neat.


    William was a little embarrassed and shy. Although it was just his lounge, he always felt a little


    embarrassed to bring a woman in. Then, heughed, "This is a ce to take a nap. Sometimes I work


    She looked around the lounge, and the objects in it were standard essories given by the hospital.


    But from the pictures hanging in the living room, she could know that the owner of the room had


    extraordinary taste.


    "It¡¯s good here."


    William patted both sides of his legs awkwardly, which was a small subconscious movement of this


    man, "You sit first, and I¡¯ll get the ice."


    She knew that he was nervous.


    "Thank you, Mr. Hardesty."


    Riley¡¯s face hurt as if it had been burned by fire, and she didn¡¯t dare to touch it. Instead of sitting down,


    she was going to find a mirror to see what her face looked like.


    She came to the wash basin, with her hands on the edges of the wash basin, and she looked at her


    swollen face in the mirror. The furrows on her face were terrible as if her face was ploughed by a plow.


    She couldn¡¯t help it any more. She sped the white porcin wash basin with her fingers, and her


    tears were pouring down¡­

 Chapter 43 Can’t You See That I’m Trying to Woo You?

    Chapter 43 Can¡¯t You See That I¡¯m Trying to Woo You?


    William wrapped the pieces of ice in the towel and pressed it on his face several times. After making


    sure that the ice pieces would not pierce out and hurt his skin, he went back to the living room.


    Riley was not in the living room. The bathroom door was open. He walked over and saw Riley putting


    on a gloomy face. Her shoulder trembled, and she was trying to keep her weeping sound low as if


    someone had bullied her, and she did not dare to speak out her pain and humiliation.


    The scene stung William.


    She was neither strong enough to be invincible, nor she didn¡¯t need to be taken care of. It was just her


    putting on a strong shield to protect and hide her fragile heart.


    ¡°Cry if you feel like crying. It will make you feel better. You can do anything you feel like doing here.


    Anything!¡±


    William gently patted on her shoulder, suggesting that she could forget about her worries here. She


    needed not to have any burden and make herself feel at home.


    Drops of tears started to drip from Riley¡¯s face, who was trying to restrain her weep. She could not hold


    back anymore when William said that and began to cry.


    William helped her out of the bathroom and took her to have a seat on the sofa. He pulled out a few


    sheets of tissue, ¡°I won¡¯t ask anything if you don¡¯t want to talk about it. But don¡¯t hurt yourself.¡±


    Riley covered her face, and her shoulder trembled more violently. Her tears seemed to have


    umted for many years and had finally reached the limit. The tears seeped out and flowed


    profusely.


    Riley was like a child in front of William. She could express her emotions as she wished without


    embarrassment or shame.


    William silently apanied her. His big warm hand gently caressed and patted her back, ¡°It¡¯s alright.


    Everything¡¯s over. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡±


    Riley¡¯s heart and dignity that was crushed into pieces were slowly healed in William¡¯s quiet and gentle


    voice. She sobbed, ¡°I¡¯m so tired¡­I feel so tired¡­¡±


    Every word from her pierced into his heart.


    What kind of life did Riley experience? What in the past hurt her so much that she could endure it to


    this point?


    ¡°Have a good rest if you feel tired. Let your heart take a good rest. I¡¯ll help you anytime if you need me.¡±


    After crying for some time, she raised her head. Her tears smeared her face, and a wisp of wet hair


    stuck to her face on her chin.


    She wiped off herst tears with a tissue. Not only her face was swollen, but her eyes were also


    swollen. The red eyelids wrapped around her bright eyes, making her look like a wounded rabbit.


    She sniffled and threw the tissue she used to wipe off her tears and snot into the bin. It was a handful


    of tissue. ¡°Sorry¡­did I scare you?¡±


    It had been a long time since she had cried like that. She had almost forgotten the feeling of crying as


    she wished and had almost forgotten how to cry. Riley didn¡¯t expect a person that was so strong like


    her would cry with all her might in front of William, who she did not know well.


    ¡°No. I¡¯m very¡­happy that you can cry here. At least, you don¡¯t reject me from within and were willing to


    show me your vulnerable side.¡±


    It was trust and entrusting herself to him by willing to show him the vulnerable side of hers.


    Riley rubbed her sore nose, ¡°I¡­I¡¯ll leave.¡±


    William said with a smile, ¡°Leave? Where are you going to go? Going out with a pair of redden eyes


    and an obviously swollen face because of a p? Take a seat. I¡¯ll give you a coldpress.¡±


    He took the towel and rubbed it gently on her face. Then he carefully asked, ¡°Does it hurt? I¡¯ll be


    gentler if it hurts.¡±


    Both of them sat too close. Riley felt ufortable and moved aside, ¡°I¡­I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±


    William didn¡¯t resist either, ¡°Okay. Here you go. Would you like something to drink? Coffee? Tea? Or


    some hot water?¡±


    Riley rubbed her face, ¡°Anything would be fine.¡±


    William got up, ¡°Some hot water then. You haven¡¯t slept all night. Drinking coffee would affect your


    sleep.¡±


    Riley gazed at William¡¯s back. She felt sad. She was not silly. She could see that William¡¯s concern for


    her had gone beyond the ordinary rtionship between a superior and his subordinate. But Riley


    couldn¡¯t afford to enjoy the gentleness he was giving her.


    They were not destined to be together.


    William brought a cup of hot water, ¡°I added some glucose in it. You need to replenish your energy. You


    can take a nap here after that. This is my private area. No one would disturb you.¡±


    ¡°Never mind. I¡¯ll go back and take a rest.¡±


    William chuckled. He raised his hand and wanted to help her to tidy up her hair. But he stopped the


    intention once he thought about their identity, ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself in front of me. Why should you go


    home? Won¡¯t you be alone at home too? The bedding is new, and I seldom rest there.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not what I mean.¡±


    ¡°Since that was not what you meant, then don¡¯t worry about staying. Tell me what you want to eat if you


    feel hungry when you wake up. I¡¯ll get something for you.¡±


    Riley¡¯s movement on her hand had stopped. She raised her head and looked at the tall William. The


    sun shone through the window, and on him, a golden beam was surrounding him, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, why


    are you¡­¡±


    ¡°Why am I so nice to you?¡±


    She was speechless for a moment when he saw through what she was about to ask.


    William shrugged, ¡°I¡¯m a failure in my life. I have been trying to woo someone to this point, but that


    person is still unaware of it.¡±


    Riley was stunned by his self-mocking words. She tried to speak, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, thank¡­thank you. But


    let¡¯s forget about it. It¡¯s impossible between us. You don¡¯t know me. You don¡¯t even know me in


    person.¡±


    William lowered his body and approached her. Riley thought he was trying to do something to her, and


    she quickly backed away. Unexpectedly, he smirked andughed, then he touched the cup with his


    clean fingers, ¡°You can drink the water now.¡±


    Riley was speechless.


    ¡°You do not have to reject me so quickly. I¡¯m very patient. Doctor Watson, it takes more than ten hours


    for a heart operation to end. This is about the happiness of my life. You don¡¯t have to give me a


    rejection so soon?¡±


    Riley was feeling awkward a moment ago, and he made the atmosphere rxed again with a few


    words. That moment, Riley had a thought that it would be nice if she had met William first.


    But the matter about the rtionship was always about who came first. Her heart was too small to have


    space for others when Euan was already in it.


    ¡°You may go to work. Thank you for your personal space.¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll go ahead, but promise me one thing. Don¡¯t sneak away when you wake up.¡±


    God, he saw through her thoughts. She wanted to slip away while he was away.


    Riley was back to herself, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, you must be thinking too much. I¡¯ll be waiting for you to treat


    me a meal and send me home.¡±


    He chuckled. His chuckle was gentle and elegant, like the breeze of spring, ¡°Wait for me. Please do.¡±


    William left and closed the door. Riley was exhausted. Shey on the bed with her eyes closed. The


    messy thoughts in her mind did not prevent her from dozing off.


    At that time, in the VIP ward¡­


    Anika just left, and Jeanne came in.


    ¡°Lydia, how do you feel?¡±


    Lydia sat on the sofa, fiddling with the jewellery Anika had just given her. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Just suffocated due


    to anger. Riley the bitch was lucky and had survived again.¡±


    Jeanne sneered. She tidied her doctor robe and sat down, ¡°A bad thing would never die. How would


    she be gone so easily? But don¡¯t worry. She would not have a better life in the future either.¡±


    ¡°Jeanne, which man was Riley withst night? Did you take a clear photo of it?¡± Lydia looked into her


    eyes.


    Jeanne was a smart woman. She would not show her bottom card even in front of Lydia, ¡°I did not see


    clearly. I was afraid that I would be noticed and quickly took a photo and left. We will put the matter


    today aside. I¡¯ll deal with her slowly in the future.¡±


    ¡°Jeanne, I can¡¯t wait anymore! Make it quick! Finish her as soon as possible!¡±


    Jeanne frowned, ¡°Lydia, do you know why you couldn¡¯t fight against her all these years? You are just


    too anxious and not calm enough. You have to deal with Riley step by step. If you are not careful


    enough, you¡¯ll be strangled by her instead. Do you think she had been living for three years for


    nothing?¡±


    Lydia clenched her teeth, ¡°I hate her! I want her to die!¡±


    ¡°What you must do now was not to deal with her. But to find a way to get the heart of Euan. You


    shouldn¡¯t be wilful in front of Euan. Riley is strong, and you must be gentle. Why should you be afraid of


    Riley if you can catch Euan¡¯s heart?¡±


    Lydia tugged on Jeanne¡¯s arm and said with a grin, ¡°Jeanne, it¡¯s good to have you back and give some


    advice to me. You have great ideas. Here, take this. Euan¡¯s mother gave this to me just now. It¡¯s a


    limited edition.¡±


    Jeanne pointed to Lydia¡¯s head with her finger, ¡°Are you silly? Euan¡¯s mother had given you a gift. You


    must choose all asions to wear it and tell others who gave you this. At that time, everyone will


    regard you as the daughter-inw of the George family.¡±


    ¡°Jeanne, you¡¯re right! It¡¯s good to have you here!¡±


    Riley, who was lying on the bed, was having a nightmare. Droplets of sweat drenched her forehead. In


    the dream, she was standing in the endless corridor in the hospital. She was running with all her might.


    But a ck tornado rolled up her father and took him away faster than she could run!¡±


    ¡°Dad¡­Dad!¡±


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    She woke up with a start, holding the nket, and her body was drenched in sweat.


    The nightmare. She hadn¡¯t had it for a long time and didn¡¯t expect to dream it again.


    Riley got out of the nket and walked to the window. It was already 5 pm. She didn¡¯t expect that she


    had been sleeping for so long. As she rubbed her swollen temples, she went back to the mirror. Her


    face was still swollen.


    After washing her hands and cleaning up her face. Her phone began to vibrate rapidly on the sofa.


    Hendrix?


    Why was he calling?


    Riley wiped the water off her hands on her clothes, ¡°Hello.¡±


    ¡°Riley, you finally answered the phone. I¡¯ve been calling from morning till now. Where are you?¡±


    Riley thought for a while and chose to speak the truth, ¡°I¡¯m in the restroom in the hospital.¡±


    ¡°Riley, did you cry?¡± Hendrix felt that Riley¡¯s voice was not quite right.


    ¡°No! Hendrix, I¡¯ll hang up if you have nothing to say.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t hang up, Riley. I saw the news. Lydia was bullying you again, am I right?¡±


    The brat, Hendrix, was he thinking that the situation was not chaotic enough?


    ¡°This is my matter. It has nothing to do with you. Don¡¯t interfere.¡± Riley was afraid that something would


    happen to Hendrix. Then she would suffer more in George¡¯s residence.


    ¡°How can you say it had nothing to do with me? You are my sister-inw! I¡¯m going to find Lydia now!¡±


    ¡°Hendrix! Don¡¯t rush into things, Hendrix! What are you doing!¡±


    ¡°Going to the hospital. Teach Lydia a lesson and take you home!¡±


    ¡°Hendrix! Get back here! Fuck, get back here!¡±


    Unfortunately, Hendrix had hung up the call.


    Damn! Hendrix, don¡¯t be a fool!

 Chapter 44 This Is a Hospital, Don’t Mess around

    Chapter 44 This Is a Hospital, Don¡¯t Mess around


    In her heart, she wished badly that Hendrix woulde here and take it on with Lydia, but then she


    remembered that she just had a fight with her, and if anything happened to Lydia now, it wouldn''t do


    any good to anyone of them.


    It wasn''t that she felt sorry for Lydia, she just really wanted to have a peace for a while, so Riley made


    a decision.


    She took out her phone, hesitated for a little, but then finally dialed Euan''s number. She held her phone


    with the big screen in her hands, and used all of her strength, as if she wanted to meld this device in


    her hand.


    It only rang three times before the line was connected, she didn''t have the energy to wonder why it was


    so fast, and of course, she neither had the time for it.


    After Euan picked the call, she heard his cold voice, "What is it?"


    She was so looking forward to hear his voice, even if it was as simple as that, even if it was simply a


    few words that sounded like it was about work, in her ears, it was as if his voice carried his breath and


    heart beat, it wasn''t simply his voice that she was hearing, it was a living Euan.


    In just those few seconds, she had a lot of thoughts going on, the more she thought, the more she felt


    that she was useless, even at this time, she was still thinking about him.


    In the presidential office of MBK, Euan was holding a file with his long fingers, and stopped flipping


    through it, he waited patiently for Riley to speak again.


    It was quiet for a long time, and Riley thought that he hung up, she tilted her head and saw that the


    screen was still lit up, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly picked up the topic from before,


    "Hendrix called me, he said that he saw the news, and want toe to the hospital to give Lydia a


    lecture, if you stop him now, it might still be in time."


    Euan''s brows were slightly knitted, his voice sounded like a cello as he spoke, and he flipped another


    page in his files again, "You are still in the hospital?"


    He asked her in return, it had nothing to do with what she was talking about, but she was not immune


    to his tone, she had already offended him today, she couldn''t allow it to happen again.


    "Yes, I am still here..."


    "Go home right now."


    He was always like that, if he had made a decision, he wouldn''t care about any other opinion, and


    exactly this dominant part of him made everyone listen to him.


    "Are you even listening to what I am saying?" Hendrix ising to the hospital looking for trouble with


    Lydia, if you don''t want your child''s mother to be hurt, you should try to stop him now."


    Riley was getting anxious, after she finished her speech, she felt that she put too much power in it, she


    almost broke her phone, the screen that was on her cheek was hot enough to burn her.


    Euan humphed coldly, "Are you worried about Lydia or about Hendrix? You better be worried about


    Lydia, if I find out that there is more to that, you know what I will do."


    Riley''s throat narrowed, she swallowed hard, "There is nothing between me and Hendrix."


    "Have you rested well? Are you feeling better?"


    Before she could hang up the phone, William suddenly came! He didn''t notice that Riley was on the


    phone, so as soon as he entered the room, he asked her.


    Euan already heard that the door was opened, and then there was a sound of keys rattling. Clearly,


    Riley was with a man, and that man opened the door himself!


    She said she was in the hospital?


    So this man, must be that doctor!


    Riley was flurried, she pressed on her screen, and nodded towards William, then she lowered her head


    to look again, but Euan had already hung up.


    Oh God, he must have heard that, this is going to bring her more trouble again.


    She couldn''t think about it, she will find a way when it happens.


    William saw that she hurriedly hung up the phone, and knew that there was nobody who could make


    her so nervous apart from Euan.


    William smiled at her gently, and pretended not to know anything, "How are you feeling? Is it better?"


    Riley nodded her head, "I am alright, thank you for taking me in, but I gotta go now."


    As she said so, she went to the bedroom to grab her jacket, then she threw it on her shoulders. She


    suddenly really wanted to leave this ce, no matter if Euan misunderstood her, or if he didn''t even


    bother about it. In her heart she just hoped that he won''t feel more dislike towards her because of her


    actions.


    William didn''t try to keep her any longer, heughed at himself, "I guess I am not attractive enough, I


    can''t keep you here. I will send you back."


    After Euan hung up the phone, he was furious, he threw himself into this chair, and his back crashed


    into the leather.


    Then, he got up and took his jacket and car keys, and walked out of his office, Elijah wanted toe in


    to report some work to him, but before he could say anything, Euan said, "Tell meter."


    Elijah stood there quite stunned as he watched him leave, this atmosphere was very familiar to him,


    only when he had problems with his wife, he would get so mad.


    Euan quickly went to his car, turned the key, and at the same time, dialed Hendrix''s number.


    "No matter what you are trying to do, you have to stop right now."


    Hendrix was on the way to the hospital in high speed, as he knitted his brows, "Euan, do you allow


    Lydia to mock your wife like that? She is your wife, who is Lydia? Why do you want to take her side?"


    "And who do you think you are? The brother-inw helps his sister-inw? This excuse sounds very


    interesting!"


    Hendrix paused for a little, he didn''t even think that much, he just didn''t want Lydia to keep mocking


    her, and he also couldn''t stand that his brother was taking Lydia and not Riley''s side.


    "Euan..."


    "Go home, right now!"


    "But Euan, Riley, she must feel really bad inside."


    He felt bad inside too, but still, he lowered his speed, bit his teeth, he wished he could beat Lydia to


    death without thinking about any consequences.


    Euan''s cold voice had a unique kind of strength, he slowly but strongly reminded him, "Hendrix, you are


    over the line, do I really need to exin it to you?"


    Hendrix was speechless.


    After hanging up the phone, Euan sped up.


    At the hospital.


    People were going back and forth, Riley didn''t want anyone to see that er and William were together,


    so when she stepped on the elevator, she said, "I can go home by myself, the public transportation is


    very convenient."


    She wouldn''t allow William to send er home in his car, she didn''t want William to get to know her more,


    her house, her family, her status, she felt that the less he knew about her, the better it was for both of


    them.


    "I respect your decision, but you should allow me to have some face, you have already declined me so


    many times, now you don''t even want to give me a chance to walk you for a little?"


    She couldn''t add anything to that anymore, so she allowed him to stay with her.


    After they got out of the elevator, they went around the lobby, and she walked faster intentionally,


    William knew what she was thinking about, he wasn''t in a rush, and kept a distance of almost 5 meters


    to her, it didn''t look like the two of them were in any connection.


    After they got out of the hospital gate, there was a bus stop on the right side, "I will go to wait for the


    bus, you can drive home already."


    William couldn''t help but tough, "I also want to take the bus today, you don''t want to take over the


    bus stop all for yourself, do you?"


    "Sir, we are adults, can we please not y such childish games? I have already made myself very


    clear, nothing would ever happen between us!"


    William shrugged, "So I guess you have recovered fully, the cold Dr. Watson that I know is back, okay


    then, take care of yourself!"


    In that moment, a ck Rolls Royce stopped suddenly.


    Euan saw that Riley walked out of the hospital with a man, he didn''t expect that they would say


    goodbye for so long at the gate!


    He felt so much anger in his heart, that it could have lit Riley on fire.


    He unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out.


    Euan''s long and light coat was twirled up because of his walking speed, his face showed indignation.


    His tall body didn''t take long before he reached the two of them, Riley saw him walking towards them,


    and she of course also noticed the storm in his eyes.


    William was also anger in his heart.


    Euan pulled Riley''s little wrist, and pulled her so hard towards himself, that she fell into his arms.


    His arms were like an unbreakable prison, holding her tiny body.


    Riley was shocked, "What are you doing!"


    Euan''s thin lips showed anger, "You know what I am doing!"


    William pretended as if he didn''t know about the two of them, he grabbed Riley''s other skinny arm as


    Euan had pulled her away, he was almost as tall as Euan, the two of them stared at each other, a


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    sense of war covered the scene.


    "Who are you? What are you doing?"


    Euan said, "I should be asking you this question, what are you doing pulling my wife?"


    Riley looked up at Euan, her mouth wide open because of her shock, did Euan just tell William that she


    was his wife?


    This should be really exciting for her, but she told herself that she should think about this, since when


    had she gotten to such a low point, that she would feel like that just because of a tiny little sweetness


    he showed her?


    Hasn''t he always been so scornful?


    But then again, she was Euan''s puppet, he could do with her whatever he wanted, but he wouldn''t


    allow anyone else to do so.


    It had always been that way.


    She was happy too early.


    William didn''t back off though, he smiled elegantly, "Wife? So she is your wife, but I don''t see why you


    as her husband would leave her in front of the press and leave with another woman. It doesn''t seem


    like something a husband would so, does it?"


    Euan grabbed Riley''s shoulders tightly, he didn''t give her any space to struggle, he would control her


    "This only involves me and my wife, you don''t need to worry about that." Euan used too much strength


    on her, she didn''t even dare to move at all, maybe her shoulder was already crushed by him.


    William let go of her, he said in all seriousness, "Dr. Watson is a good doctor at our institution, I have


    the responsibility to take care of her, including when ites to home violence."


    The two men were staring at each other as if it was a battle, the atmosphere was filled with fire.


    Riley was very disappointed, she didn''t expect that William would know about her identity, not only the


    fact that he knew, but also the way he found out.


    She would never have the same status in his heart again.


    "I see that you like to mind other''s businesses, you like to judge others, I am here to pick up my wife


    from work, and you are using me of home violence, what are you trying to do? Do you want to make


    aint against me as well?"


    His lips were slightly tilted as he spoke back.


    Riley bit her lips, no matter what she wanted to say, it would be inappropriate, and it would cause even


    more trouble.


    William still tried to help her without backing off, "Since you are her husband, I hope that you will take


    responsibility as a husband instead of letting your own wife get hurt and be wronged. If you are her


    husband, you should know that her knee can''t get any worse again, and the wounds on her face are


    because of you."


    William''s heart trembled, then he looked at Riley, but she had already lowered her head, all he could


    see was her long hair that fell into her face.


    "And, as a man, you shouldn''t allow your woman to cry."


    Cry?


    Euan looked at Riley in disbelief, sadly, she looked down, so all he could see was the back of her head.


    He grabbed her waist with his big hand, her body was trembling softly, was she really crying because of


    him?


    The woman that never cried was now crying because of him?!

 Chapter 45: Desire on the Sofa

    Chapter 45: Desire on the Sofa


    Riley didn''t expect that William would unexpectedly put himself in her shoes and speak for her, but it''s


    clear that William didn''t understand the situation and didn''t know her abnormal rtionship with Euan.


    Euan wrapped his hand around her thin waist, his fingers wrapping her waist strongly. Such action was


    clearly a bit too intimate that it made Riley feel quite uneasy.


    But she felt so good in his arms; she could smell his faint tequ perfume that covered the smell of


    disinfectant on her body, which made her drown in his embrace.


    Noticing the slight change of expression on Euan''s face and Riley that clearly became docile, William


    somehow felt disturbed at heart.


    Euan embraced Riley like he''s protecting a rare treasure, his arms were a bit too strong that her


    shoulders hurt because of that, but Riley didn''t say anything, she even paused all her attempts to break


    free.


    Even if he''s just acting in front of William, she still wanted to hear the echo of her heartbeat in his


    embrace.


    Was she being degrading?


    She''d admit it for the moment that she was degrading for wanting to be by his side.


    Just that one time, onest time, Riley allowed herself to be degrading and stay by his side again.


    ¡°It''s our matter as husband and wife; you don''t need to worry about it.¡±


    Euan coldly said that, he admitted what William said previously at heart, it was very to the point and it


    was even enough to make him speechless, but when did Euan ever lose in front of others?


    Euan didn''t give William any chance to interfere again, he just brought Riley in his arms, turned around


    and walked towards his car! He took big steps without hesitation and with anger andplicated


    feelings, and she nearly could hear his rapid heartbeat.


    Euan, could his heart beat faster too?


    That''s slightly unbelievable, she recalled that Euan was always cold-blooded and calm, he could


    always remain calm in face of anything, she had even thought that even if there''s an earthquake one


    day, Euan would just hold his coffee cup without panicking as he watched a building copse.


    How could that kind of man''s heart beat faster?


    In his embrace, Riley turned her head and looked at William, she conveyed thank you from the bottom


    of her eyes, even if that thankful gaze made her look like she was asking for help.


    William smiled warmly, telling her not to be afraid with his gaze, if Euan bullied her, he''d definitely do


    something about it.


    Riley imagined his gaze, she almost smiled bitterly.


    When she''s thinking wildly, the bottom of her feet suddenly went to midair!


    Riley lifted her head in surprise, when she saw Euan''s deep eyes, Euan suddenly carried her up


    through her waist!


    Euan''s heart was filled with anger! Why would she still look back reluctantly! She unexpectedly didn''t


    know how to restrain herself in front of him!


    Damn it! He just went straight and carried her up to interrupt theirst hope.


    She instinctively put hands around his neck out of surprise, his arm hugged her strongly that half of her


    body was sticking closely to his broad and warm chest, even if there wereyers of clothes between


    them, she could still feel his strong and warm breath.


    As if the ce where she got in touch with him was burning up.


    She was absent minded as she looked at his eyes, she then finally said something, ¡°Euan, what are


    you doing?¡±


    Euan just looked forward without looking at her, at all, ¡°You are my wife now, and you ask me what I''m


    doing?¡±


    Riley felt an inappropriate joy at heart, her swollen face became slightly hot that she almost forgot that


    she could blush too.


    So, Euan suddenly hugged her like a princess... To admit their rtionship?


    But... Why was his embrace hot, while his expression looked so cold?


    He walked a few steps to the car, pressed the car''s lock with one hand, after the sound of unlocking, he


    put her down for the moment, skillfully opened the car''s door with one hand, and carried her up again.


    He just threw her into the car with both hands!


    He threw her to the front passenger seat like he was throwing a trash! The tenderness from before was


    all gone!


    His expression and action switched so quickly that she has no time to react at all, and she was also


    dumbfounded because of that throw!


    ¡°Euan, what do you mean!¡± Riley''s back hit the back of the chair, which immediately made her gasp out


    of pain... Euan, are you fucking crazy!


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    He moved around the car and opened the door with strength before sitting down roughly, with the


    closed windows and doors, the cramped space became their war zone.


    Euan''s cold gaze suppressed hers, ¡°You asked me what I meant? Shouldn''t you exin me what did


    you mean, for what you''ve done with him!¡±


    Riley''s heart shuddered, the warmth just now instantly turned into sheer coldness, he had never


    believed her from the very start, even that hug just now was done on purpose, his hugs were all done


    for revenge!


    He broke her heart into pieces; Riley really wanted tough because she''s such a fool! How could


    Euan feel sorry for her!


    ¡°I have nothing to exin.¡±


    Since he didn''t believe, why would she exin it to him?


    Euan''s lips were so sharp to say, ¡°You... Very well!¡±


    He plugged the key in and started the car''s engine, and then he drove at high speed!


    William was standing still as he was left behind, then his smile disappeared.


    She was not living a happy life.


    While on the opposite side of the road, Hendrix¡¯s car was stopping there... He gazed out of the car''s


    window and watched as the Rolls-Royce disappeared on a corner.


    Hendrix held the steering wheel tighter and tighter as he gritted his teeth in annoyance.


    The car was heading to YJ Vi, seeing the road sign, Riley felt uneasy at heart, ¡°Euan, the act is over,


    stop the car and let me out!¡±


    The car was so fast that the lights seemed like flying through.


    Meanwhile, there were only lonely-looking moon light on their faces.


    ¡°Just sit nicely.¡± his voice was never loud to begin with, he''szily and arrogantly intimidating.


    Riley yanked the handle with strength, she didn''t mind jumping down and die cruelly.


    ¡°Riley, who has always been strong, canmit suicide now? Let me remind you, your life is mine, you


    want to die? Do you have such right?¡±


    Riley''s eyes were teary but she didn''t cry, ¡°Euan, is it fun? Is it fun to pull so many acts on me?¡±


    He hummed, ¡°Nope, three years ago when you crawled up my bed you should''ve known that there''s no


    fun in it.¡±


    Once again, he mentioned the past again and made her speechless.


    After staying quiet for a moment, he suddenly said, ¡°Did I misunderstand you for Lydia''s illness?¡±


    Hm?


    The topic changed, she unexpectedly hadn''t snapped out of it yet, ¡°Do you believe me?¡±


    He didn''t reply, but then he med it on her again, ¡°Since she identally made a mistake and


    misunderstood you, you shouldn''t be hooking up with that man in public either, I think you forgot all


    about your status.¡±


    Each word he said was so condemning.


    ¡°So? Do you care? Euan, do you care about who I''m with, as your wife in name only? Wife in name


    only, no, for other people, she couldn¡¯t even be considered as in wife in name only, when you and Lydia


    were together, being all intimate outside the media, did you ever care about me? Since that is so...¡±


    She cleared her head, ¡°Why would you meddle with my matter?¡±


    ¡°Riley, I think you''re mistaken, what I care about and what you shouldn''t do are two different things.


    Also, you''ve be braver now, you unexpectedly try to meddle with my life!¡±


    She hopelessly looked out the window, the clear moon light felt so cold. What he meant was very clear


    he could control her but she had no right to meddle with his matter.


    The car arrived in front of the Vi''s gate and he used the smart switch to drive the car inside... After


    the car''s light was off, There was silence, and their breaths inside the car were a bit disturbed,


    previously they were all angry, their breaths were heavier so the temperature at that time was


    unexpectedly dubious.


    Hezily ordered, ¡°Get off.¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth, she''d get off!


    She got off the car, the night wind was blowing and suddenly it became so cold, she couldn''t help


    shivering and hugged herself.


    She thought that he''s going to leave, but then she saw him getting off the car too... His tall and big


    figure was so dignified, he then locked the car and walked passed her with big steps, ¡°Come here.¡±


    He might be addicted to saying two words s amand.


    In the Vi''s hall, the lights were so bright.


    Only then he saw the bruises on her face, wound on her knee, she hadn''t gotten well yet? How did the


    she get the p marks on her face?


    Stupid woman, how the hell did she grow up?


    ¡°Sit down!¡±


    ¡°...¡±


    Fuck! He was really addicted!


    Riley sat down, there¡¯s also a red Hermesdies shoulder bag on the table, which was stored that it


    was blinding.


    In just a moment, Euan came with a medicine box, he was very intimidating when he leaned down and


    looked at her, ¡°You''re not even pretty to begin with, what do you want to make yourself be like?¡±


    Riley was speechless!


    He took out pain relieving tincture and dipped a cotton bud in it, with one foot kneeling he stretched his


    hand over...


    She''s stunned, Euan unexpectedly helped her to relieve the pain? Is it the end of the world?


    ¡°Stop any of your boring imaginations before I get tired of you... You''re still my woman, I won¡¯t allow


    any ugly thing by my side.¡±


    She clenched her fists, ¡°Since that is so, let''s just have a divorce, you''ll be worry free and clean.¡±


    Euan dabbed her face but by bit, while she endured the pain.


    ¡°Don''t even think about it!¡±


    ¡°Ssk...¡±


    He suddenly used more force on his hand, causing her to gasp in pain.


    She closed her eyes because of the pain, she slightly faced upwards so it''d be easier for him to apply


    the medicine on, her long eyshes created a silhouette on her white and wless face.


    She bit her red lips, silently venting the unique sexiness of a woman.


    Euan¡¯s throat tightened, his lower abdomen shrank and his tall figure stood up, suppressing her body.


    It was toote for Riley to be on guard, his arms already circled her on the sofa, struggling, he was too


    sudden that she had no such awareness in her mind.


    Who would''ve thought that he kept increasing his strength, step by step.


    Swarovskimp was in harmony with the moonlight, as there was desire on the Italy custom leather


    sofa...

 Chapter 46: Own Her and Make Her Work Hard

    Chapter 46: Own Her and Make Her Work Hard


    She felt as if she was going to fall apart. Her back was about to break after being pressed on the sofa


    for so long.


    Damn you, Euan!


    She tried to adjust her breath as gently as possible so that she would not make any embarrassing


    sound again.


    They barely made love in the past 3 years. He had been rougher and rougher recently. It hurt like the


    first night, but he did not pity her.


    She reached out to pick up one of the clothes on the ground to cover herself. The man lying beside her


    said with azy and deep voice, ¡°Is that necessary?¡±


    She picked up one of the clothes and put it on her body. She caught his scent on it. Fuck, she had


    taken the wrong shirt.


    ¡°It¡¯s necessary.¡±


    She clenched her teeth and answered back.


    He closed his eyes and smirked, ¡°You took the initiative to work hard the first time, and only now you¡¯re


    embarrassed?¡±


    He kept mentioning about that time. But she could not recall what she had done to him that time. Why


    did he sound so disdainful of her every time he brought up the matter?


    Ignoring his sarcasm, Riley wrapped herself up and walked to the bathroom to wash herself.


    Euan slowly opened his eyes and looked at her curves. Her back was as fair as snow, and the messy


    long hair hung loosely on her back. The curves of her back were vaguely visible. There were a few


    bruised spots on her fair back that were caused by him.


    He was obsessed with her tightness and beauty just now and had forgotten to control his force.


    She seemed to be hurt.


    Riley stood underneath the shower and washed herself up. For Euan, she was just something he


    stripped off to satisfy his pleasure.


    She sneered. Euan was just the same for her now.


    ¡°Urg!¡¯


    She had just remembered that she was an injured patient when the water wet her knees.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! The violent banging sounds on the door were louder than the sound of the water


    flow. Why was Euan knocking on the door!


    She ignored and continued bathing.


    ¡°Open the door!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m taking a bath!¡±


    Stupid woman!


    It didn¡¯t matter if she did not want to open the door.


    He searched for a spare key and opened the wooden door of the bathroom, facing Riley who was in


    the water mist¡­


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you? Get out!¡±


    Euan saw her knees and gazed coldly, ¡°You are the one who should get out!¡¯


    He carried her without acknowledging her and ignored her struggles and hits on him. He took her to the


    second floor and threw her on the bed.


    ¡°Stupid woman!¡±


    Wasn''t she aware that she was hurt? Wasn''t she aware that she had put on some medicine just now?


    Riley tapped on the bed in frustration, ¡°Euan, you maniac! What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    She was even scolding him now? Huh!


    He threw the medicine box to her roughly, ¡°Do it yourself!¡±


    Riley was shocked and speechless.


    The pain on her body had relieved a little when she woke up the next morning.


    She was excused from work and suddenly had an extra day. But unexpectedly, she didn''t know how to


    spend her day.


    After changing her clothes and washing up. She thought of something suddenly. Where was Euan?


    She went downstairs to make herself some breakfast, but the fridge was empty. The ¡°props vegetable¡±


    she boughtst time had wilted. She frowned. There were only three eggs left, and was that going to be


    her breakfast?


    She was preparing to boil the eggs when her phone rang.


    ¡°Dear! You have been so popr in the news these days! There¡¯s a new version of it every two days.


    You might even be able to film a movie of that in just a month. The title would be ¡°Doctor Watson¡¯s


    Famous Diary¡±!¡±


    She leaned against the doorframe and stared at the pot, ¡°Are you calling me in the morning just to


    make fun of me? Watch out.¡±


    ¡°No way! I just came back from fashion week in Mn. I didn¡¯t expect that the first thing that I saw was


    the news about you. Tsk, tsk, the famous Doctor Watson, do you remember what day is today?¡±


    Today?


    She recalled, Army Day? National Day? Valentine¡¯s Day? Singles¡¯ Day?


    ¡°No way! Today is your birthday! Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t even remember your birthday!¡±


    Ah?!


    She pped on her forehead, it was indeed her birthday, and she had forgotten all about it. ¡°Ladies


    won''t like to celebrate their birthday after they pass eighteen. Every birthday will remind me that I am


    one year older again. It¡¯s good to forget about it.¡±


    ¡°You are just fooling yourself. You have forgotten, but I haven¡¯t. I had hurried back, just to celebrate


    your birthday. Do you have any ns today?¡±


    She had no friends in the country except for Sarah. She had lived abroad for a long time and her


    contacts were all from overseas. So, there were usually no gathering ns.


    ¡°Since Miss Taylor has invited me, then I must set aside other ns.¡±


    ¡°Awesome! Then, change your clothes and wait for me. I¡¯ll pick you upter and take you somewhere


    nice!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll drive there. All you have to do is to give me the address.¡±


    ¡°Forget it. Your car? Saying that it is a car for someone well-off was good enough to describe it. Even


    the housekeeper would feel that the car is too shabby if it were to bepared.¡±


    ¡°Pew, is your housekeeper Queen Elizabeth?¡±


    Her car¡­parked at the corner of the garage, surrounded by Euan¡¯s luxury cars that cost millions. Her


    cheap Polo was indeed¡­


    After changing her clothes, she wanted to draw light make-up. But when she looked at the mirror, she


    gave up. The swollen part had not fully recovered. How was she going to go out? Hanging out with


    Sarah required beauty, value, and taste. She had none of them and now even worse.


    She put onyers of concealer. And after half an hour of hard work, she, who had wanted to just put on


    light makeup, made the make-up thicker, after covering the wounds and her droopy eyes. The brown


    eye shadow, cherry red blusher, and the light rose red lipstick reflected on the mirror. Riley was


    dumbfounded when she saw herself like that.


    She was a little narcissistic and felt that perhaps she was not bad either?


    The doorbell rang when she chose her shoes.


    She scurried downstairs barefoot to open the door. When she was at the end of the staircase, she was


    shocked¡­


    Euan ¡­Why was he still at home? Didn¡¯t he go out?


    The key was in Euan¡¯s hand was an egg that was already pealed.


    ¡°Dear, are you ready? I¡¯m here to pick you up!¡±


    Sarah, who shouted as soon as she entered, caused the weird atmosphere to rise in the morning.


    Euan had just finished pealing the egg two minutes ago before the doorbell rang. He opened the door


    seeing that it was Riley¡¯s friend.


    But Sarah was told that Euan was not at home.


    The three of them stood opposite each other, and both the women looked at each other in shock.


    He had noticed Riley¡¯s coquettish style with heavy makeup when she walked down the stairs. She


    usually dressed up simply but put on her best when she was going out!


    ¡®Woman, you are good in disguise!¡¯


    Euan showed no expression on his face and walked to the dining room. He bit on the egg white.


    The atmosphere was weirder.


    Sarah chuckled, ¡°Hi, Mr. George¡­¡±


    Euan ignored her.


    Just like what she had expected.


    Sarah shook her leg, ¡°Riley, can¡­we go now in such a situation?¡±


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Riley pursed her lips, ¡°We can.¡±


    ¡°Really? Euan looked so mad as if he was going devour on someone.¡±


    Riley put on her courage, ¡°He had always been like that. Don¡¯t worry about him. Let¡¯s go.¡±


    She had no idea that her words were heard by him.


    She did not only act coquettishly but she also even ignored him. These two acts were enough to make


    her suffer that night.


    ¡°What are you waiting for then? Put on your shoes, and let¡¯s go!¡±


    Riley stooped to put on her shoes and hesitated between the high heels and t shoes.


    ¡°High heels of course!¡±


    But¡­she was suffering from back pain and difort. She might break down soon if she wore the


    high heels.


    ¡°I¡¯ll choose the t shoes then. I am tall. Besides, I can¡¯t steal your limelight.¡± She couldn¡¯t tell her that


    she had an intense make-outst night that made her unable to put on the high heels, right?


    Sarah was annoyed, ¡°Yes, you¡¯re taller than me! I¡¯m offended.¡±


    Before she went out, Euan said calmly, ¡°Come back before eight o¡¯clock. I have something to tell you.¡±


    Riley held onto the door, ¡°What? Can¡¯t you say it now?¡±


    Riley regretted it after she asked that. It must be something that he could not say in front of Sarah,


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be back early.¡±


    When the woman left, Euan put down the unfinished egg. In fact, he was not in the mood to eat them.


    He picked up his phone, ¡°Elijah, cancel all the arrangements tonight.¡±


    ¡°Boss, tonight the America representatives¡¯¡­¡±


    ¡°Cancel it.¡±


    ¡°¡­Yes, boss.¡±


    Euan picked up the car key on the ss table and saw the handbag. He frowned. She couldn''t miss it


    when he ced it in such an obvious ce. Why didn¡¯t she take it?


    Euan, Lydia, and his mother went to the shopping mall that day. Lydia chose a few handbags, and


    when he saw that handbag, he unexpectedly thought of the scene of Riley carrying it. So, he called to


    buy it when he left the shopping mall.


    Her birthday was around the corner. It was a gift for her.


    The idea tormented him for days, and atst, he pretended to leave it at a random ce at home. He


    was nning to coldly reply to her when she found out and asked him about it, ¡°I had bought extra. It''s


    for you.¡±


    But Riley did not react to it at all!


    Euan was very upset.


    ¡°Miss Taylor, you¡¯re good at finding entertainment!¡±


    ¡°Of course! A muggle like you should make friends with a lively and lovely person like me. They always


    have abination like that in the drama series. The best match!¡±


    To celebrate Riley¡¯s birthday, Sarah drove to a courtyard in the countryside 100 kilometres away from


    the JD city. The ce was fully equipped with entertainment facilities. There was a bungalow with


    unique architecture in the middle of theke. The scenery was pleasant.


    ¡°This is a nice ce. How did you find it?¡±


    ¡°A friend of my friend is the person-in-charge here. So, the entertainment and food here are free of


    charge for us today. Since we are far away now, enjoy yourself!¡±


    Riley held onto Sarah¡¯s hand. She was touched, ¡°Sarah, you are so kind to me. What if I fall in love with


    you?¡±


    ¡°Damn! Howe you are not in love with me yet? I thought you had long given yourself to me!¡±


    ¡°Let it be then. How about making love?¡±


    Sarah smirked, ¡°About making love, shouldn¡¯t we wait for the handsome guys toe?¡±


    As she spoke, she pped. A few young men with different styles came in. they were tall and fair, with


    delicate facial features, long legs, and tiny waists¡­They wore very few clothes.


    The food that she was about to put in her mouth dropped, ¡°What¡­what is all these about?¡±


    Sarah hooked a man¡¯s neck and brushed her fingers below his chin skilfully, ¡°ying, of course! The


    beautiful scenery, the right moment with a beautifuldy with me¡­ Won¡¯t it be iplete if there were


    no handsome guys?¡±


    Riley blinked, ¡°Damn, are you serious?¡±


    Were the handsome guys in front of them the gigolo she had heard before?


    Sarah squinted her eyes, ¡°Just experience it, and won''t you know if I am serious? Guys, didn¡¯t you see


    my best friend here? Provide your service to her.¡±


    Two of the men sat on each side of her and toasted, ¡°Miss,e on¡­¡±


    Pft!

 Chapter 47 Who Wants Her Dead?

    Chapter 47 Who Wants Her Dead?


    Riley was unable to cope with the situation. Sarah had put on a game that she could not endure.


    Although she usually joked about blue jokes to Sarah, she was not flirty like Sarah in real life.


    Riley avoided the warm service from the handsome men, ¡°Okay. Okay. That¡¯s enough. I can do it


    myself.¡±


    Sarah calmly watched her rejecting their service in panic, and she said with a giggle, ¡°No way, Riley.


    You are too conservative. Life is short, and you must have fun while you can. All the men I have


    chosen are the best. Aren¡¯t you going to try something new?¡±


    ¡°Fuck off!¡±


    Sarahughed, ¡°Don¡¯t you like the birthday gift? Isn¡¯t it wonderful?¡±


    ¡°Damn you! Enjoy it yourself. Ask them to leave now.¡±


    Sarah felt that Riley was constraining her desire for too long. Euan, that son of a bitch made her live a


    life of a widow at a young age. She was a woman and had desires too.


    So, she decided to take the initiative to help her best friend.


    ¡°What are you doing? Why don¡¯t you pour the wine for that beautifuldy?¡±


    The more Riley resisted, the more Sarah encouraged the men to give her more service, ¡°Riley, just


    forget about the man from the George Family for now. Stop thinking about him. Cherish the moment.


    Come, drink!¡±


    When one of the men heard the family name George, he asked carefully, ¡°Miss Sarah, the man from


    the George Family you mentioned just now. Is he from the George Family, the richest family in JD city?¡±


    Sarah curled her lips in disdain, ¡°So what? What is the matter even he is from the George family?¡±


    Upon hearing that she confirmed that the man was from the George family, they felt it was probably


    Euan. The three men around Riley quickly stood up at once.


    ¡°We¡¯re¡­We¡¯re sorry. It¡¯s our fault.¡±


    Sarah, who was holding a wine ss was dumbfounded, ¡°Damn, what are you guys doing? Don¡¯t you


    want your money? Give us a good service then!¡±


    One of the men trembled, ¡°We can¡¯t earn this money. We heard that the Young Master of the Cornell


    family touched the woman of the Young Master of George Family, and he ¡­was¡­¡±


    Riley frowned as she looked at the terrified man, then as she clenched on her fist nervously, she said


    with a cold voice, ¡°What happened?¡±


    It was Kaysorn Cornell. She only knew that Euan asked his men to take him somewhere. But she did


    not know what happened to him. It seemed that something serious happened.


    The man hesitated, ¡°He was then¡­Someone saw Kaysorn Cornell¡¯s hands were fractured, and his


    nose bridge seemed to be broken. He still can¡¯t take care of himself up till now.¡±


    Crash! Riley¡¯s cup on her hand fell and shattered.


    Sarah¡¯s jaw dropped. She listened to that in awe and gulped, ¡°I¡­Damn, that¡¯s cruel.¡±


    The men fled off. Earning money was important but staying alive was more important!


    ¡°Hey! What are you all afraid of now? He is not around! Come back! Fuck,e back!¡±


    Riley bit on her lips and looked in a direction in trance. Sarah walked over to her and touched her head.


    She held her in her arms and caressed her hair and back as if she was hugging a wounded cat. ¡°It¡¯s


    okay. That pervert is not here, and such things will not happen again. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡±


    Riley grabbed her arms and rested her chin in her arms, ¡°That day, Kaysorn tried to rape me. It was


    Euan who came in time and rescued me. But I did not expect¡­Euan to be so cruel.¡±


    He was so cruel that it feared her.


    He had said that he would destroy the body part of any man that had touched her.


    That day, Kaysorn¡¯s hands were touching her, and he sniffed her with his nose¡­So, his nose and


    hands were broken.


    Riley felt nervous. Her first thought was William!


    Would Euan do the same to William?


    ¡°Damn! Kaysorn deserves that! Although Euan might be a little too much. Just think about what would


    have happened if Euan did not arrive on time that day? You might have been raped by that bastard,


    Kaysorn. He was a hero who saved a beauty like you. Euan is arrogant. He will kill anyone who


    touches anything he owns.¡±


    A sense of fear stuck Riley when she thought about it. If Euan did not arrive on time, she might have


    been¡­


    ¡°Bah! Nonsense. I have at least the ability to protect myself, okay? Euan just happened to save me. He


    is not a hero.¡±


    She was putting on a shield. She knew deep in her heart that Euan had helped her a lot.


    Sarah¡¯s soft hands ran through Riley¡¯s hair like stroking a puppy, ¡°Riley, look at your fate. You can¡¯t


    even flirt with other men.¡±


    Riley pushed her away, ¡°What kind of birthday present you have given me,ss? No! That is not my


    birthday gift!¡±


    She crossed her arms over her chest and pretended to be mad.


    Sarah waved her hands, ¡°It¡¯s your fate that you can¡¯t enjoy it. Okay. Okay. I¡¯ll listen to the birthday girl


    today. I¡¯ll do whatever you want to do! How about that?¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Her eyes were bright like a star. She was nning on something.


    ¡°Have I ever cheated you? Say it out quickly!¡±


    Riley thought about it, and her hand tapped on Sarah¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I want to watch a movie.¡±


    Sarah blinked, and she held out her hand to touch Riley¡¯s forehead, ¡°Are you having a fever? Why is it


    watching a movie? Are you asking me to sit with you in the dark theatre, just to watch a movie? Us?


    Just girls?¡±


    Riley nodded, ¡°Are you going? I haven¡¯t watched a movie for a very long time. You wouldn¡¯t want me to


    go alone, would you?¡±


    Sarah swore that she would not go, ¡°I knew I shouldn¡¯t listen to you. A doctor doesn¡¯t have any


    enjoyment in life. Let¡¯s not watch a movie. Let¡¯s go on a drink!¡±


    ¡°Drinking again?¡±


    Riley could do nothing. Her suggestions would not be epted whenever they go on an outing. She


    was used to that. Sarah was a drinker. She was trained into a person who would not be drunk so easily


    by her father. But Riley was not a drinker, so she would be drunk easily.


    So, when Sarah drank and flirted with a handsome man, she sat on the sofa and ate her snacks. A few


    men came in between to flirt on her, but she drove them away with her cold stare.


    After drinking for some time, Riley looked at the time. It was almost 7 p.m. It would take at least 40


    minutes to get back to the vi from there. Euan had reminded her to get back home before 8 p.m.


    ¡°Sarah, I have to go home now. Stop drinking.¡±


    She snatched away Sarah¡¯s wine ss. Sarah ran her fingers through her hair, ¡°So soon? The night


    had only started. Are you going back home to cook for your man?¡±


    Riley frowned, ¡°He has something to say to me. I¡¯m going to meet him.¡±


    Sarah let go of the handsome man¡¯s neck. She stared at Riley¡¯s face, ¡°Are you going back alone? I¡®m


    worried he would tear you into pieces. Oh, no. He¡¯ll rape you first, then kill you. No. I¡¯ll go back with


    you!¡±


    ¡°Forget about it. I¡¯m fine. But you must go home now. And you are drunk. Don¡¯t drive. I¡¯ll find someone


    to drive you home.¡±


    ¡°Well, don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯ll watch you leave in a taxi. Call me if anything happens. I¡¯ll take revenge


    on him.¡±


    Riley smiled and pinched Sarah¡¯s plump cheek, ¡°Well, nothing will happen. Believe me.¡±


    Sarah crumpled her lips. Believe in her? Was that possible? With Euan¡¯s arrogance, Riley would be


    doomed.


    After hailing a taxi, Riley headed back to the vi. She saw a ck Volkswagen was following her from


    the moment she sat in the taxi. When the taxi was driving fast, the car was driving fast too. When they


    were slow, the car slowed down.


    ¡°Sir, please drive faster.¡±


    The driver noticed the car behind too. He asked anxiously, ¡°Miss, is the car following you? Have¡­have


    you offended someone?¡±


    The driver¡¯s voice was trembling a little. He was afraid he would get into trouble.


    ¡°No, it might be that I have seen wrongly.¡±


    The driver was still uneasy, ¡°Miss, I¡¯m really sorry. I have a family to take care. I dare not offend the


    gangs. I¡¯ll drop you on the roadside. I¡¯ll not charge you the road fee.¡±


    Riley stared at the ck car and was uneasy, ¡°I¡¯ll give you double the price. You have to drop me just at


    the entrance of YJ vi.¡±


    The driver begged for mercy, ¡°Miss, just let me go. It seemed that the car behind is not giving up.¡±


    The frightened driver did drop Riley at the roadside and fled away.


    The night breeze blew on Riley. She felt cold and disappointed. She saw the ck Volkswagen driving


    closer at the corner of her eyes.


    The night street was cold and eerie. Riley backed. The ck car stopped by the roadside just beside


    her!


    Riley could not avoid it, the car window was rolled down slowly, and a strange middle-aged man


    popped his head out and looked at her as he grinned, ¡°Miss, it¡¯s difficult to hail a taxi here. I¡¯ll drop you


    off.¡±


    Riley grabbed on the belt of her handbag tightly and walked quickly. The car followed her slowly


    beside. The window of the back seat of the car was rolled down at the same time. Both of the men


    grinned, ¡°Miss, don¡¯t go away so soon! Someone wants to meet you,e with us!¡±


    Riley frowned, as she clenched her teeth and growled, ¡°Go away! Or I¡¯ll call the police!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha! Call the police? We are so scared!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha!¡±


    Riley held on to her handbag and ran towards the ce with crowds.


    Three men got off the car and followed her closely, chasing after her.


    Riley was shocked. Who were those people? Why were they chasing after her?


    Who wanted to meet her? Lydia? No, she did not need to do so¡­Who would? Euan?


    No¡­


    ¡°Stop! Bitch! Stop!¡±


    The louder the shout behind her, the faster she ran. She ran with all her might. There was a shopping


    mall at the intersection in front of her. It was hope!


    ¡°Stop! Bitch!¡±


    Riley sprinted. She ran frantically. The traffic light was red.


    The men were approaching her, and the red light was 60 seconds. She would be doomed if she was


    caught.


    Creak!


    Rub!


    Bang!


    The sudden braking sounds lingered in her ears. Riley ran between the cars blindly. The scolding


    voices and the sounds of car braking were heard at the same time.


    The three men looked at the chaotic traffic at the intersection of the road and stared at each other. The


    Riley stood in the middle of the traffic. The dazzling lights were like knives stabbing into her eyes.


    Suddenly, a white truck drove in her direction. Her pupils widened. The driver was staring at her with a


    terrified look on his face.


    Thump!


    Riley didn¡¯t have the time to escape. She suddenly copsed onto the ground.


    Creak¡­Bang!

 Chapter 48 Stupid Woman, Come Here

    Chapter 48 Stupid Woman, Come Here


    The world was suddenly silent, and Riley opened her eyes in horror to see the smooth pavement and


    the huge ck tire of the suddenly braking truck in front of her.


    She was dumbfounded as if she had woken up from a dream!


    So, she had just survived a life-and-death crash?


    "Where are you going?!"


    She just had a narrow escape, and the man behind her was still in hot pursuit. Riley, ignoring the


    stinging pain in her knees and palms, got up and kept running!


    Behind her, two men were chattering loudly, "This woman is crazy!"


    "Does she want to die? Damn it!"


    Riley couldn''t think about anything or see anything. There was only one thing she could think of - RUN!


    Atst, as she was exhausted, she finally wound her way into the revolving ss doors of the mall.


    Inside, people wereing and going, and the sparkling crystal chandeliers kept flickering. It was like


    a world had suddenly been separated from the outside.


    Riley slumped in the chair with weak legs, covering her chest and panting heavily.


    Who was chasing her? Who was it that wanted to see her?


    She hadn''t adjusted her mood when her phone vibrated in her bag. Riley closed her eyes tightly and


    her throat was so dry she couldn''t swallow. She covered her pounding heart and pulled out her phone.


    Euan''s name shed on the phone''s interface.


    "Don''t forget what I told you. You''re alreadyte."


    Riley braced herself helplessly against her still trembling legs. Her voice trembled uncontrobly, "I ...


    will be right back."


    Inside the vi, Euan, sitting on the leather sofa, frowned, "What''s wrong with you?"


    Riley swallowed with her dry, aching throat. It was better not to tell him about this, "Nothing, I''ll hang up


    now."


    Fearing that she would show her panic if she said another word, she hastily pressed the hang-up


    button.


    Euan''s brows furrowed ever tighter. Was she going crazy?


    Taking several deep breaths, Riley pressed her knees together and stood up, then walked around to


    the other exit of the mall.


    On the way back, she cleaned the blood from her hands with napkins, but the marks of the cuts were


    still shocking.


    Now her face, hands, and knees were all scratched. She was a doctor, yet she had allowed herself to


    be injured so much.


    As she got out of the car, she looked up at the dreamlike vi, decorated with lights. Euan was inside


    and she wondered what he wanted to say to her.


    She settled down and walked in.


    On the sofa in the living room, Euan was sitting on it with his back to her. His upright back was like a


    towering mountain, which made him look both imposing and aloof.


    She felt tears welling up in her eyes, and she almost burst into tears. How she wanted to run over to


    him, to hug him, to tell him what she had been through, to pour out her panic and aggression inside.


    And yet ...


    She couldn''t.


    "I''m back."


    Gathering her thoughts, she remained silent.


    Euan''s long fingers paused slightly and rested on his knees. Without turning his head, he said in his


    usual cold voice, "Come here."


    Riley walked over and sat down on the couch across from him, "What did you get me back for? If it''s


    about the divorce, I''d love to hear it."


    Come to think of it, there was nothing else between her and him that was worth sitting down and talking


    about so formally, except for the divorce.


    Euan looked at her coldly, "You want a divorce that badly?"


    She stressed this matter several times. What else was in this stupid woman''s head but this?


    Riley just had a narrow escape and was emboldened, "Yes, I''ve said many times that I want a divorce.


    It''s just that you won''t."


    "I don''t agree! No matter how many times you ask, it''s useless. Unless you die or I die, then you can''t


    get a divorce."


    Riley tightened her grip. She hadn''t expected him to be so adamant. It seemed his determination to


    torture her hadn''t changed.


    She was exhausted and tired of dealing with him on the subject, "So what did you want me back for?"


    "You ..."


    He was simply furious and annoyed enough to want to kill someone! She really didn''t know?


    She hadn''t seen the light outside when she''d just entered? She didn''t see the birthday present he had


    prepared for her?


    Was this woman blind?


    "Take it!"


    Something shed before her eyes. The red Hermes was thrown into her arms by him.


    She raised her eyes and looked at his serious face in dismay, "What do you mean?"


    Euan was really pissed off. He wanted to pry her head open to see if it was empty!


    "Here, just take it!"


    Strong and brutal, cold and overbearing, which was very much in line with Euan''s style of doing things.


    She looked at the bag, then at him. Was it a birthday present? But the way he was giving it to her, it


    didn''t look like, "Why?"


    Euan straightened his back and said without expression, "This was leftover after Lydia had picked it


    out. You don''t think I bought it for you on purpose, do you?"


    Hmm? Was this leftover after Lydia had picked it out? And then he gave it to her?


    Her red lips curled as she took the bag away and ced it on the ss table once again, "In that case,


    I don''t want it either."


    What did he think she was? A beggar who picked up leftovers? Today it was a bag, then tomorrow it


    would be clothes? After that, even if it was a man, she would have to use it first and then give it to her.


    Euan was furious, "Riley, pick it up. I said, pick it up."


    Riley remained seated, "Mr. George, you can refuse the divorce. But to humiliate me in this way, I''m


    sorry, I don''t care."


    Euan stood up straight away and went for her neck with one hand. But halfway through the action, he


    stopped. Clearly, he didn''t want her to see his mood swings because of her.


    "For the next three years, thirty years, Riley, you have no right to refuse, only to stay with me to the


    end."


    He lowered his voice and said with determination.


    Riley got up, "It doesn''t look like you have anything else for me. I''m going upstairs to get some rest."


    As she passed him, Euan grabbed her hand in a fit of rage!


    "Hiss..."


    It hurt!


    Her palm was sticky. His eyes half narrowed. He broke her fingers irresistibly and saw her bloodied


    palm, "What''s going on? What have you done again?"


    She tried unsessfully to pull her hand back, "Nothing. Even if I did, you don''t need to know. You and


    I are just acting ording to circumstances, so don''t act too much. If you get caught up in it, I''m afraid


    you won''t get out."


    "You''re getting yourself killed!"


    Sheughed, "Are you going to help me fulfill my wishes? I forgot that you don''t have the time to spare


    right now. So you and I had better continue to keep our distance."


    She had said thatst time was the final time she would be a bitch. In the future, she would never do it


    again!


    Riley snatched her hand back forcefully and turned to go upstairs.


    He watched her go upstairs grumpily. And he was so angry he even wanted to kill someone. Her hand


    was hurt, so something must have just happened.


    She wouldn''t say anything, and she was throwing a temper tantrum? That was good!


    Euan grabbed the red bag and threw it in the bin.


    The next day, Riley went to work as usual.


    As she walked past the living room and saw the bin, her heart skipped a beat.


    It seemed that there was no point in her staying here.


    With that in mind, she returned to her bedroom, stuffed all her personal belongings into her bag, and


    drove away from the vi in her silver car.


    This ce, after all, did not belong to her. There was no point in her forcing herself to stay here, so she


    should just leave.


    A dayter, she returned to the hospital. From the moment she entered the gates, the chatter


    continued. Thements and condemnations, the jealousy and the abuse. She was still the center of


    the hospital''s conversation.


    She walked around the desk in the ground floor lobby and a couple of nurses muttered in hushed tones


    when they saw her.


    "I can''t believe she has the nerve toe back. Isn''t she ashamed at all after what she did?"


    "That''s right. It''s a good thing Lydia didn''t take it personally with her and volunteered to take


    responsibility, otherwise she would have died under the press'' microphones."


    "She''s so delusional, and still trying to get involved with the George family. What a joke!"


    Riley''s hands were clenched in her pockets. There were several people lined up at the entrance of the


    lift. Riley stood alone in the middle and stared straight ahead with an expressionless face. The


    coldness of her body was even more creepy, and the few people around her didn''t dare to whisper.


    Stepping out of the lift, she didn''t look around and just went to the dressing room to change into her


    white coat. Serena took her by the wrist, "Dr. Watson, are you okay?"


    She smiled, "Yes. I''m fine."


    "... Okay. I know you''re strong inside. So what, just let this go. Let them gossip, don''t you worry about


    it."


    Riley capped his pen, straightened his cor, and smiled, "I wouldn''t worry about it. You checked out


    the rooms for me again yesterday, didn''t you? I''ll treat you to dinnerter."


    Serena''s mouth twitched, "... you''re so tough, that''s okay? Well ... I''ll give you the room notes. Luckily,


    the patient is doing well and nothing happened."


    Tough? What could she do if she wasn''t?


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Inside the ward.


    "Blood pressure is stable. Stick your tongue out and I''ll see ... Good, you''re recovering well. You''ll be


    discharged after these two days."


    After Riley finished examining patients, a new young woman in the same ward pointed at her and said


    in surprise, "Aren''t you the doctor? The one who put the poison in that star''s medication!"


    "Really? Poisoning!"


    "Don''t you know? She put something in Lydia''s medication and almost caused her to miscarry! How


    dare you let her treat you!!!"


    "Oh my God! This is killing people! I want a new doctor! I want to change the attending doctor!"


    "I read on the news that some doctors get revenge on society and deliberately kill their patients. We''re


    not going to be ..."


    "I want to change my attending doctor too!"


    "Riley, you get out!"


    "Get out!"


    Riley stood in the noisy ward and squeezed the medical records folder so tightly that even her knuckles


    turned white.


    In an instant, word spread through all the wards, and Riley''s reputation waspletely tarnished!


    After she was sted from the ward, a nurse clutching a case came running over, stole a nce at her,


    and said carefully, "Dr. Watson, Ms. Pouchain wants you toe to her office."


    Although the people in the internal medicine department had long been disgusted with Riley in their


    hearts, Riley''s imposing manner dared them not to provoke her openly.


    Jeanne? Did it reach her so quickly?


    Riley took notes and walked to Ms. Pouchain''s office. Standing outside the door, she saw Jeanne


    sittingfortably in her chair. It seemed she was waiting for her.


    "After making a mistake, you''re afraid to walk through the door? Our Ace Dr. Watson."


    Her tone was extremely sarcastic and contemptuous.


    Riley gathered herself and stepped through the door, "Ms. Pouchain, you wanted to see me?"


    Jeanne fiddled with a pen in her hand, "I''m aware of what just happened. Dr. Watson, the inpatient unit


    is in a mess because of you. As Deputy Director, what do you think I should do?"


    Riley frowned. Was she nning to suppress her because she was a bigger official than her?


    Without waiting for her exnation, Jeanne said coldly, "I regret to inform you that in view of the


    negative impact your poor behavior has had on the patients and the hospital, I am informing you, as


    Deputy Director, that you are dismissed."


    Riley''s pure eyes were tinged with sarcasm, "Then I am also sorry to inform you that I was personally


    hired from the United States by Mr. Houston. You have no right to fire me."


    Jeanne raised an eyebrow and stood up slowly. Her red high heels clicked on the floor. She walked


    around Riley and snorted, "Dr. Watson, you seem to forget that I was given the power of firing anyone


    when I was hired. It won''t take me any trouble to fire you."

 Chapter 49 Shes The One That He Wants

    Chapter 49 She''s The One That He Wants


    At that point, Riley understood that Jeanne didn''t want to fire her to protect the hospital''s reputation,


    Jeanne just wanted to get rid of her.


    What the hell was the reason for Jeanne to treat her like that?


    She thought about it at heart for a moment, Riley didn''t dare to confront Jeanne with force, she judged


    the situation and smiled, ¡°Ms. Pouchain, even if you want to fire me, you''ll have to get the head of the


    hospital''s approval first, tell me when you''ve got the document to fire me, I still have things to do so I''ll


    take my leave.¡±


    Jeanne snorted, ¡°Dr. Watson, you sound like you¡¯re fearless, huh? Why, do you think that someone


    superior will keep protecting you?¡±


    She was talking about that one time when William defended her from reporters.


    Riley smiled, ¡°No, I''m an upright person and that''s why I''m not afraid.¡±


    Jeanne taunted her, ¡°How could you have the nerve to say such words? Secretly setting yourself


    against the hospital VIP patient and secretly hooking up with the leader''s hospital, you''ve done such


    shameless things and you still say that you''re not afraid because you''re an upright person?! Since


    you''re so confident, I''ll give you a chance.¡±


    Jeanne said that she walked pass Riley, took the phone on the office desk, then raised her eyebrows


    and squinted at Riley while dialing, ¡°Save your eloquence and tears, you can use it to improvise in a


    while.¡±


    The call got connected.


    ¡°Mr. Houston, it''s me, the cardiology department is now in a mess... Yes, the patient demands


    justification... It''s rmended to fire Dr. Watson, otherwise, not only the cardiology department, the


    whole hospital will be greatly impacted... Okay, I understand.¡±


    She briefly and powerfully described the impact that Riley caused very well, as if not firing her would be


    so offensive to the whole hospital.


    Jeanne put the phone down, ¡°Dr. Watson, see you at the head of the hospital''s office.¡±


    After saying that, Jeanne walked out.


    Head of the hospital... Riley frowned as she followed her.


    After walking out the elevator, they both saw Williams tall figure in his clean white doctor gown out


    there, there were directors of several departments and Ms. Pouchain behind him.


    Jeanne smiled in an instant, ¡°Good morning, Mr. Hardesty.¡±


    William nodded as he looked at Riley, ¡°Dr. Watson, are you feeling better? Did you sleep wellst


    night?¡±


    A group of people looked at her in unison, they looked calm, but their gazes were all different.


    Riley said "oh no" at heart, she already had a bad reputation, with William''s words, there''d be more


    misunderstandings.


    ¡°I''m way better now, thank you very much.¡±


    Jeanne faintly smiled, ¡°Mr. Hardesty is very busy every day and Dr. Watson is the main force in


    cardiology, so I will take good care of her.¡±


    William didn''t look at her at all, he still said, ¡°Dr. Watson,e to me after you finish the paper and


    Riley bit her lips, ¡°Yes, Mr. Hardesty.¡±


    After finally getting out of his pressure, Riley didn''t dare to let her guard down, she only hoped that he


    would not appear with such attitude again.


    Jeanne sneered, ¡°As expected, Dr. Watson has tricks, she can even get the attention from a man like


    Mr. Hardesty, but I''m looking forward to what he''ll think if he knows those things you did.¡±


    Jeanne kept saying words with hidden meanings, which disturbed Riley so much!


    William at the elevator entrance was not in a hurry to leave, he turned his head and watched the two


    figures gradually walk away, entering Mr. Houston''s room together.


    Only then he got back to his sense, ¡° give me the surgery records of neurosurgery department in this


    month, Mr. Wong, prepare a detailed emergency work manual and hand it to me before weekend."


    After instructing, he didn''t n on going downstairs anymore, several directors looked at him, "Mr.


    Hardesty, the elevator...¡±


    ¡°I still have something to do, just go down first.¡±


    The head of the hospital''s office.


    Hearing Jeanne''s words, Mr. Houston''s head slightly hurt, he really admired a talent like Riley and he


    couldn''t bear firing her, but the situation was very unfavorable for her to stay.


    Seeing that Mr. Houston was hesitating, Jeanne said, ¡°Mr. Houston, the cardiology department is in a


    mess now, I don¡¯t want to be shielding by rted personnel as soon as I take the position, and I can''t


    watch the situation getting worse."


    Mr. Houston sped his hands which were covered with age spots, resting on the desk, "Firing a


    doctor is the second best thing, Jeanne, it won''t solve the root of the problem.¡±


    Jeanne refuted, ¡°The root of the problem was just things that Dr. Watson did recently... Incidentally, her


    behavior has caused the patient''s suspicion and panic, causing patient''s trust in the hospital to drop


    sharply, you must have seen that the cardiology department is in panic now."


    Mr. Houston sighed, looked up at Riley, ¡°Do you have anything you want to exin?¡±


    Mr. Houston was giving her a chance.


    Riley bent over politely, ¡°Mr. Houston, I''m very sorry because I have brought such a huge trouble for the


    hospital and troubled you. However, I did not do anything against the medical ethics, as for the nder,


    I hope that wise people won''t get fooled by rumors.¡±


    Jeanne attacked her, ¡°Dr. Watson, on the other hand, even if you''re innocent and you didn''t do it


    actually, but others got hurt because of you, so shouldn''t you be responsible for it?¡±


    Fuck!


    It was very easy to me someone when people wanted to frame that person.


    William, who was standing outside, couldn''t listen to her any longer, he knocked on the door, ¡°Mr.


    Houston.¡±


    Once Mr. Houston saw himing, he sighed out of relief, ¡°Mr. Hardesty,e in.¡±


    William faintly smiled, his face looked elegant and clean, ¡°Just now I happened to hear a bit of Ms.


    Pouchain''s words, I have different opinion regarding Dr. Watson''s matter.¡±


    Mr. Houston nodded, allowing him to continue.


    ¡°If the hospital sacrifices an outstanding doctor because of one unverified rumour, it will inevitably


    discourage the enthusiasm of the doctor and make them lose their trust for the hospital."


    ¡°Furthermore, Ms. Saunders already issued a statement that she identally ate food that caused the


    illness, so, that has nothing to do with Dr. Watson.¡±


    ¡°Last one, Ms. Pouchain, your statement just now reminds me of the historic person in China,Yue Fei...


    Hehe, do you want past tragedy to repeat itself today?¡±


    William made a strong statement that caused Jeanne to be speechless, she was gritting her teeth but


    she didn''t dare to be angry with him, ¡°What do we do now? The cardiology department is already in a


    huge mess.¡±


    William looked at her like he''s smiling, but actually he wasn''t, ¡°Ms. Pouchain, the cardiology department


    is a area that you control, you''re asking me what to do when something happens? Tell me, what can I


    do?¡±


    The three of them looked at William at the same time, what he meant was very clear, she''s Ms.


    Pouchain and that was her duty, if she couldn''t handle such a small matter, then there''s no need for her


    to be the director.


    The drama ended, Riley and William''s abnormal rtionship got more confirmation and extension, her


    foe rtionship with Jeanne also got deeper.


    Jeanne''s appearance quieten the ward down, she then walked to the VIP ward angrily.


    By the time Riley finished her work, it was already lunch time.


    When she was going to eat, her phone buzzed..


    It was a call from William.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, right now, do you still want to refuse to treat me some meal? I just saved your job.¡±


    Riley was perturbed, she was bound to be seen by others if she went, and the misunderstanding would


    be even more uncontroble. But if she didn''t go, William had already helped her multiple times


    both with public or private matters.


    ¡°Okay, what about XJ restaurant?¡±


    Eating western food would be too dubious, so she chose Chinese food.


    ¡°I''ll wait for you.¡±


    XJ restaurant was 400-500 meters away from the hospital, Riley changed her clothes and brought her


    wallet out of the hospital... William was already seated there when she arrived.


    There were so many people during lunch time, Riley repeatedly emphasized about the situation, so


    they moved to the second floor lounge, which had partitions, was by the window, and rtively hidden.


    William handed the menu to her, ¡°You''re treating me so you should order, I''m only responsible for


    eating today.¡±


    Riley opened the menu without saying anything, she then seriously looked at the vegetables, meat


    dishes, juices, dessert, and drinks... She saw everything and pondered in seriousness, ¡°What do you


    like to eat?¡±


    William intertwined his hands and put his elbows on the table as he looked at her, when he hung his


    head, a strand of hair floated on his cheeks, he looked handsome.


    ¡°I''m not picky about food, so just anything you like to eat.¡±


    ¡°It''s very to entertain you, okay then I''ll just order randomly.¡±


    William opened the stic cover of her disinfected tableware, afterplete set of tes, bowls, and


    spoons were matched and ced in front of her, he said, ¡°This is not the hospital, you don''t need to call


    me so formally.¡±


    Riley''s slender finger stopped on a picture of braised fish, ¡°Then, Dr. Hardesty, how about the fish¡±


    William smiled, ¡°Seems like there''s still a long way until you call me by name."


    She didn''t respond to that and continued, "What fish do you like? Carp? Hairtail? Crucian?"


    ¡°Order what you like.¡±


    Riley called the waiter and ordered all the dishes she had chosen at once, the waiter repeated it one


    more time to confirm, and William listened carefully to the menus she ordered, there were three


    vegetables, one braised hairtail, one meat dish, plus a West Lake beef soup, she chose sour plum juice


    that would help digestion for the drink.


    Overall, everything had a rtively light taste, which was also in line with his eating habits.


    ¡°Dr. Hardesty, I''m treating you to a meal today to thank you for helping me through several difficulties,


    and I want to say something clearly to you...¡±


    The waiter quickly brought a cold dish and interrupted her.


    ¡°What do you want to say to me? You want to say that you''re a married woman that has a husband, so


    you want me to keep my distance from you?¡± William''s words broke through her mind, even if he spoke


    so directly, but he kept smiling so he was not annoying.


    ¡°That''s right, I just wanted to tell you that.¡±


    William poured sour plum juice for her, ¡°You don''t need to be so anxious to clear up your rtionship


    with me, you''re the one that says upright people won''t need to prove themselves, also, liking you is not


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    your trouble.¡±


    She sipped the sour plum juice, which was so sour that she frowned, ¡°That means, you are going to


    continue?¡±


    William shrugged and took a piece of green vegetables, ¡°Why not? You''re married, but I''m not... I have


    the right to pursue the woman that I like, furthermore, I can guarantee that I''ll give you happiness,


    rather than letting you getting trapped in a marriage that is not beautiful, it is better for me to be third


    wheel to save you."


    Riley couldn''t helpughing, ¡°Dr. Hardesty, you''re really good at making jokes.¡±


    She knew that he was very serious, but she mustugh it off.


    ¡°I''ll prove it to you whether it''s a joke or not.¡±


    He''s holding the chopsticks but he''s not in a hurry to use it,


    ¡°If I didn''t guess it wrong, you will avoid me, go around me, avoid direct contact with me, act cold


    towards me for a long time. But it''s fine, I can ept it, you can keep going with your life, no need to


    care about my feelings.¡±


    He slowly tasted the green vegetables, at that time, all the dishes were served... He looked at the


    braised hairtail and said, ¡°Hairtail from the East Sea has a more delicate taste than the overseas ones,


    you''re really good at ordering dishes.¡±


    Riley was just speechless.


    William took a pair of clean chopsticks and separated the fish from its bone before giving it to her, ¡°I


    believe that the world is round, I''ll eventually get what belongs to me.¡±

 Chapter50 Ten Thousand Roses Fill the Hospital

    Ten Thousand Roses Fill the Hospital


    "I¡¯ll get what belongs to me."


    After a busy day, Riley leant on the balcony railing of the hospital, remembering what William said.


    In the western sky, there was a spectacr sunset. Riley put one hand in the pocket of her white coat


    and held a cup of hot coffee with the other hand that she had just poured, quietly appreciating the


    sunset.


    She suddenly recalled the years when she studied in America. At that time, she shuttled through the


    library,boratory, ssroom and apartment every day. She was busy, but she felt fulfilled every day.


    And she had no time to grieve over the changes of seasons. Although she was tired at that time, her


    life was sofortable and simple.


    But now, everything had changed. The youth time went further and further away, and her face always


    revealed fatigue and boredom. There was no trace of innocence on her.


    Then, she met Euan.


    After meeting Euan, Riley¡¯s life began to derail. She began to be reckless and her life was out of her


    control.


    If time could stop at the moment when people first met, how good should it be?


    Euan was still a tidy man in white and strode past her.


    She missed that time very much and his image was engraved upon her heart. She just needed to


    treasure that memory as an ordinary encounter and a memory of a good nce.


    If nothing happenedter, what would they be like now?


    Riley took a sip of her coffee, which was so bitter. She forgot to put sugar in it.


    She remembered that Euan never put sugar in his coffee. He liked tasting the bitter coffee. He liked


    slowly tasting coffee, and he only drank Blue Mountain coffee.


    The freshly ground coffee was very fragrant. If the coffee was put in his cup, it would be more


    charming.


    She wanted to know¡­


    What was Euan doing at this time?


    Did he asionally recall the past?


    "Dr. Watson? Why are you here alone?" If someone hadn¡¯t suddenly interrupted Riley¡¯s thoughts, she


    didn¡¯t know how long she would be in a daze.


    Riley looked up and recognized the pregnant woman whose husband was ill.


    She said with a smile, "Nothing. How did you get here?"


    That woman was carrying a paper bag full of things in her hand, "I asked a few people to know you


    were here. I finally find you. Thank you for saving my husband. My husband is now out of danger and


    his condition is stable. Thanks for a million!"


    Riley was tortured by rumors and abuse for some days, and now she finally heard warm words. She


    was moved, "That¡¯s good. You¡¯re pregnant and you should have a good rest."


    That woman smiled and nodded, "Dr. Watson, my parents came from home to see my husband. This is


    the specialty I asked them to bring. Please don¡¯t refuse."


    She handed the paper bag to Riley with both hands, showing an innocent smile.


    Riley didn¡¯t refuse, took the paper bag and said, "Thank you. I¡¯ll eat up them well."


    That woman smiled, then pondered and said, "Dr. Watson, I don¡¯t believe those things are true. Dr.


    Watson, you are a good doctor. You didn¡¯t do anything bad!"


    Riley didn¡¯t expect that she believed her.


    "I have posted what you said to me on Micro blog and Wechat Moments. Although my behavior is


    insignificant, I hope I can help you. Dr. Watson,e on!"


    She clenched her fist to cheer Riley up.


    Riley nodded, "Okay,e on! Come on!"


    Riley came to her office with the heavy specialty. Serena and Margot were envious, "The masses have


    sharp eyes! Dr. Watson, don¡¯t give up! "


    "The masses really have sharp eyes! She even knows that our Dr. Watson likes fish. These dried fish


    are enough for you to eat for half a month."


    As long as Riley opened the bag, the fresh smell of fish came out. What a coincidence!


    "It¡¯s too much. I can¡¯t eat it up by myself. I¡¯ll give you some."


    Riley rummaged through the boxes to find clean stic bags, and then divided the dried fish into three


    portions.


    "Wow! Dr. Watson, I wish people would send you specialty every day."


    Margot said, "You don¡¯t have to share so much. It¡¯s not too much and you can take it back to eat with


    your families."


    Riley resealed the bag, "I live alone and I have no family to worry about. So, who can I share it with?"


    Serena giggled, "Then I won¡¯t refuse. My mother is good at cooking fish that is very delicious. Next


    time, I will bring the fish to you to have a taste."


    "Mother"¡­This word was strange.


    Riley rubbed her neck, "I¡¯m off duty. See you tomorrow."


    Margot pushed her to pack up, "Hurry up. If Jeanne Pouchain asks you to work overtime, it will be


    terrible."


    "Jeanne Pouchain? Ms. Pouchain?"


    "Yes! She¡¯s only been in office for a few days now and she is famous among us. Now, people in the


    whole department are afraid of her. ording to this situation, I think she will be beaten in the next


    step."


    Riley got off work with her bag and drove slowly back to her home.


    She hadn¡¯te back for some days, and her home was even more deste. It was very deste in


    the kitchen. The flowers in the vase in the living room had already withered. She forgot to close the


    window, causing the rain and winde into the room. And several books became wet and then


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    became dried, wrinkling up.


    It seemed that nothing had changed in the room, but something had actually changed.


    "Ah--"


    Taking a deep breath, Riley took off her windbreaker and hung it on the hanger. She began to clean up


    her room, clean away the withered flowers and leaves, pour out the water, mop and scrub the floor and


    dump the leftovers in the fridge. After being busy for a while, she got two big bags of garbage.


    After she piled the garbage outside the door, she removed the quilt cover, pillow case and bed sheet


    and reced them with clean ones.


    She put the dirty things in the washing machine. Then, Riley looked at the bright and clean room, and


    finally became satisfied.


    Riley took her bag, changed her shoes, and went downstairs with the garbage.


    She went to the supermarket first to buy something to fill the refrigerator. On a whim, she bought


    several bottles of colorful cocktails and went home with a heavy shopping bag. On the way, she met a


    woman who was selling flowers with a cart.


    The cart was full of roses, lilies, tulips, carnations. The fragrances were mixed and the colors were


    interwoven, which was a scene of warm spring.


    "Hey, gorgeous girl, buy some flowers. I¡¯ll buy them for you cheaper."


    Riley chose a few lilies and tulips, but didn¡¯t choose roses. She didn¡¯t bargain when she footed the bill.


    The woman selling flowers smiled and took the initiative to take out two roses, "This is for you. You


    either buy roses for others, or wait for others to give you roses."


    "¡­"


    After saying thanks, she tottered home with a shopping bag in one hand and flowers in the other hand.


    People either bought roses for others, or waited for others to give you roses?


    Riley wanted tough. She had never been given a rose in her life.


    On the way home, Riley always felt that someone was following her. With her pace, a figure¡¯s pace was


    fast or slow. Obviously, that the person was tracking her.


    Riley was a little scared. Was it the former person?


    Who the hell were they? Why could they find her everywhere?


    It was toote to escape. There was still a long way to go home. Riley had an idea. She put down her


    shopping bag, took out her mobile phone and pretended to answer the phone loudly.


    "Oh, I¡¯m almost there. You¡¯re right in front? Why don¡¯t you pick me up soon? My arm is going to break.


    Hurry up! Run to pick up me."


    As she shouted, the person that was hidden in the dark did not move. Riley picked up the shopping bag


    again and strode forward.


    With her back against the door, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It was so dangerous and


    terrible just now that she was scared to death.


    Who did on earth track her? She had to find out about it, or when would these frightening days end?


    Riley put the flowers in the vase, ready to get the washed sheet, but suddenly her mobile phone rang.


    The sudden bell scared her almost to sit on the ground!


    On the screen was the name of Euan.


    "Hello," She said calmly.


    "Why haven¡¯t youe back yet?"


    Euan asked loudly.


    With her mobile phone between shoulder and face, Riley took out of the sheet and quilt cover with two


    hands, ready to air them, "I moved back to my own house. Hendrix probably won¡¯t go to the vi, so we


    don¡¯t have to continue acting."


    Standing alone in the big living room, Euan frowned tightly. Just now, he came home from work and


    couldn¡¯t find Riley at home. Her personal belongings were taken away by her, and the whole house lost


    a sense of vitality.


    "Who allowed you to go back your home? Come back to me right now."


    Riley chuckled, stretched out the sheet and put them on the hanger, "Euan, why? I¡¯m not there, and it¡¯s


    just a private space for you."


    Euan was annoyed, "Riley, you don¡¯t understand that it¡¯s not good for you to annoy me?"


    "Bang!" Euan threw his cell phone on the sofa with the screen still on and the phone still on.


    Riley frowned. Euan and Lydia had a fight? Or was Euan wronged in the George family? Why was he


    so angry?


    In Riley¡¯s mind, Euan would not be angry for her. How could she deserve to make him angry?


    After putting all the washed things on the balcony, Riley felt hungry, so she had to prepare dinner for


    herself.


    Riley was wearing an apron, and in less than half an hour, she made two dishes and one soup.


    Sitting at the table, looking at the empty seat opposite, Riley was a little lonely.


    Loneliness. The sense of loss was loneliness.


    She and Euan had breakfast face to face several times before. Now, she was sitting at the table by


    herself, having no appetite.


    Did he have dinner? What did he eat? The refrigerator in the vi was empty. Could he buy food and


    cook?


    It was impossible!


    How ridiculous! She was still thinking about him now.


    After a few bites, she was full.


    The next day, she went to work in the hospital. As soon as she stepped into the hall on the first floor, a


    "How romantic! The Young master of the George family is so rich!"


    "It¡¯s so moving! Too rich!"


    "I heard there are tens of thousands of flowers! How much does it cost?"


    "My God, my heart¡­"


    Exmations kepting from the crowd.


    Riley felt confused. Was Euan here? Lydia was in hospital here, and it was no surprise that Euan came


    to see her.


    There was no need to be quite so dramatic. Every time he came, he would cause a great sensation


    and let others know that he had arrived in person.


    Shallow!


    She followed the crowd, ready to take the elevator. But as soon as she got to the hallway, the entrance


    was blocked. There were too many people here and all kinds of shouts.


    Through the dense crowd, Riley saw a red hallway, like sunset. There were too many roses.


    Oh, God¡ª


    That long hallway was full of red roses. The petals extended, endless!

 Chapter 51 Caught Red-handed by Euan

    Chapter 51 Caught Red-handed by Euan


    Only Euan coulde out with that much money, just to prepare a grand banquet of roses.


    The voices of exmation and admiration were echoing in the corridor of the hospital. The young


    nurses were so excited and envious that they wanted to rece the position of Euan¡¯s woman.


    Euan¡¯s woman? Riley sneered at herself. He was putting on a grand banquet of roses to please Lydia,


    wasn¡¯t he?


    Riley did not think much about it anymore. It would only hurt her more if she thought about it. So, she


    squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the elevator.


    She leaned on the cold iron wall of the elevator and closed her eyes. The enchanting red blinded her


    just now. What was left to bepared? He had never been gentle to her even a bit, but he wanted to


    give all he could to Lydia.


    Damn it!


    When the elevator door opened, Riley walked towards the dressing room. Her job was to attend to the


    outpatients that day. Fortunately, she was in peace when she sat in the duty room.


    She had never expected a call toe in when she changed on her white coat.


    ¡°Doctor Watsone to the ward quickly. The patient in ward 202¡­¡±


    202?


    The female patient, who was admitted the day before suffered from congenital heart disease and had


    undergone heart stent surgery before. The doctor advised her to not give birth to the baby. But she and


    her husband loved children very much and would take the risk to give birth to the baby.


    Thedy was seven months pregnant now. She had seen that it was a healthy baby boy, but the fetus


    grew bigger and was oppressing against her heart. Thedy was admitted yesterday with a weak


    heartbeat, and her blood pressure dropped drastically. Her husband and her mother-inw


    apanied her to the hospital. Her husband kept pleading the doctors to save his wife instead of the


    baby. But thedy patient used all herst might to ask Riley to save the baby instead of her.


    The scene from the day before appeared in her memory again. Riley grabbed her mobile phone and


    ran, ¡°Prepare the venttor and resonator. Quick!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Riley ran to the ward, and the patients who had said cruel things to Riley before stepped back. Some


    were still on guard. They were afraid that Riley would do something to revenge again. But Riley had


    only the patient¡¯s health conditions in her mind.


    The nurse stood in front of the patient¡¯s bed in a panic, not knowing what to do. Riley pushed the nurse


    aside and bent down to listen to the pregnant woman¡¯s heartbeat. Then she quickly opened the


    patient¡¯s eyelid to check on her eyes. The heartbeat of the patient on the monitor was dropping rapidly,


    and her signs of living were reducing.


    ¡°Doctor Watson, the patient needs a pacemaker.¡± An assistant doctor reminded Riley.


    ¡°No, the pacemaker would hurt the baby in her stomach. Hold this!¡± She handed the stethoscope hung


    on her neck to the nurse. Her fingers on both her hands crossed tightly, and she pumped them on the


    chest of the patient. She pumped and called out again and again¡­


    ¡°Mary Farmer, wake up! Mary Farmer, you must wake up, for your child, for your baby! Listen to me! Do


    you hear me?¡±


    Riley was like she was mad. She nced at the patient¡¯s bulged belly. There was a child in it, the baby


    they treasured. Also, something that Riley had looked forward to for these three years but could not


    conceive.


    It seemed that she had a connection with the child of the patient. Riley¡¯s forehead was drenched with


    sweat because she was pumping with force. The sweat-drenched her forehead and dripped down from


    her frowning eyebrows to the face of the patient.


    The patients in the same ward were stunned by the way Riley tried to save the patient. They looked at


    Riley dumbfoundedly as if they saw a female warrior trying to battle against death.


    At that time, the patients from other wards came to watch when they heard about the matter and


    crowded outside the ward.


    Riley was a woman, after all. Pumping on the heart needed a lot of energy, and her hands were


    exhausted, making her not able to exert any more force. But she did not want to give up, ¡°Mary Farmer,


    wake up! Your baby is waiting for you. He is waiting!¡±


    The male doctor that was by the side couldn¡¯t watch it anymore. He pulled Riley, who was crazily


    pumping away from the patient, and he continued to pump the patient¡¯s heart.


    Two male doctors took turns, and after about ten minutes, the patient¡¯s heartbeat was back.


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    ¡°Doctor Watson, the heartbeat has recovered! It has recovered!¡±


    The nurse eximed excitedly. Riley seemed to have drained all her strength. Her body lost its


    bnce, and she stumbled against the wall suddenly. She might have fallen and sat on the floor if she


    was not leaning against a wall.


    p¡­


    The patients in the ward and the crowded patients at the door pped at the same time. They showed


    their admiration and gratitude to Riley with apuse.


    Many of them said that if they did not see Riley saving the patient, they would not understand the fact


    that the woman was meant to be a doctor. She was born to fight against death.


    The patient¡¯s family member had gone out to get some fruits. When he saw the scene, he threw off the


    fruits he had bought and ran towards his wife. After listening to the exnation from the nurse, the man


    held onto Riley and thanked her profusely.


    But Riley¡¯s facial expression was still tensed.


    She felt she had to tell him the truth.


    Standing at the quiet balcony with the family member of the patient, Riley exined the patient¡¯s real


    situation, ¡°Your wife must undergo surgery now. Otherwise, when the fetus grows bigger, her heart


    stent would not be able to support her anymore. You know what it meant.¡±


    The husband of the patient nodded. His eyes were red, ¡°Doctor Watson, please. You must save my


    wife, please!¡±


    Riley nodded. She was lost after she walked out of the ward. Not only the heart stent of the patient was


    unable to withstand anymore, but the patient was also suffering from internal bleeding causing a


    pericardial obstruction. ording to the medical treatment, she could only wait until the bleeding stops


    naturally.¡±


    However¡­


    She looked at her trembling hands.


    Judging from her previous surgery experiences, Mary Farmer might not be able to stop bleeding


    naturally. She and her child might die if she waited till that day.


    But removing the blood through surgery¡­


    Which surgeon would risk their reputation to undergo the surgery for her? The patient might die in the


    operation theatre. Even if the surgery was a sess, they might be able to only save either the mother


    or the baby.


    It would be a damage to everyone.


    Riley sat on the bench in the corridor. She had forgotten the rumors she had suffered these few days


    and forgot that Euan was having a sweet time with Lydia at the moment.


    She just wanted to save the patient. She wanted the mother and the child, both to be safe!


    But¡­was she too greedy?


    As soon as she lowered her head, she felt tears flowing out and dripped at the back of her hands.


    She had to consult the n with the director.


    Jeanne? Even if she asked for Jeanne¡¯s help, she might refuse to help her even if she had the intention


    to perform the surgery, just to go against her. And, no matter how professional Jeanne was, she was


    only an internist.


    There were many senior experts in cardiac surgery in the central hospital, but none of them would risk


    performing the surgery.


    No¡­Maybe there was one.


    Riley wiped off her tears, got up, and walked towards the elevator.


    There was someone. She had a feeling that he would be willing to help.


    She came to William¡¯s office. He was not around. The nurse on duty told her that Mr. Hardesty had just


    gone to the ward.


    Riley ran towards the ward without thinking much.


    William had just finished checking on the patients in the Cardiology Department. Behind him was a


    huge group of doctors in white coats. He was holding a report in one hand and was saying something


    to the doctor beside him.


    As soon as he saw Riley, he handed the report to his assistant and said in a low voice, ¡°You carry on.¡±


    The doctors understood the situation and left first.


    William¡¯s tall figure in a white coat looked clean and professional. He walked towards her in big steps,


    ¡°It seemed that my prediction the day before was wrong.¡±


    She was not avoiding him.


    That enlightened his mood.


    Riley¡¯s face was serious. She held up a report, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, I¡¯m looking for you about a matter.¡±


    Her seriousness made him dared not joke anymore. After reading the report seriously, William frowned,


    ¡°Why is the surgery not done until now? The patient¡¯s condition is extremely dangerous. If we drag on,


    both the mother and son will die.¡±


    She did not deny, ¡°The patient is worried that the surgery will hurt the baby and had been holding on,


    hoping that she could undergo the surgery after she gives birth to her baby. However,¡­the risk of the


    surgery is getting bigger, and it is a great challenge to the doctors. I thought about it, and only you


    could help.¡±


    William held the report in his hand and looked at Riley from above, ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°It is us, doctors¡¯ duty to save the patient.¡± She answered formally.


    William smiled. The sunshine from outside the window shone on his face, warming him with the


    warmness of the season. His eyes and eyebrows looked nicer under the sunlight.


    ¡°You are not telling the truth.¡± He still smiled warmly and caringly.


    ¡°I¡­¡±


    She could not lie in front of him.


    ¡°Tell me the truth. Otherwise, I would not perform this surgery.¡± He was threatening her a little.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to see the child die. I hope you can save the child. I hope that you can guarantee that the


    mother and son would be both safe. Can you?¡±


    Child?


    William¡¯s eyebrows rxed, ¡°Do you really like children?¡±


    Riley did not answer, but it was obvious that she liked children.


    ¡°Inform the family member. I¡¯ll perform the surgery as long as the family member agrees to sign on the


    surgery agreement form.¡± William¡¯s tone was firm, neither unclear nor meddling it off.


    ¡°Really? She was delighted. ¡°You agreed?¡±


    Willian was fascinated by her sudden change in facial expression. Just in a split second, the smile on


    her face bloomed like a flower and was as pure as a new-born baby, which was heart-breaking.


    He wanted to¡­touch her face.


    He nodded again, ¡°Yes. Within these two days.¡±


    ¡°Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Hardesty!¡±


    In the moment of excitement, she grasped the cuff of his white coat and pulled it. She jumped like a


    happy child on her high heels.


    He was stunned. She was stunned too.


    She let go of him at once. The atmosphere was suddenly ambiguous.


    However, Riley did not realize that her joyful hop and her blooming smile just now were all seen by


    Euan.


    William looked at her affectionately. The phone in her pocket vibrated.


    She avoided the embarrassment and stepped back.


    ¡°Hello.¡±


    ¡°Turn around.¡±


    Boom!


    A deep voice stuck her like a bomb. Riley turned around slowly as if she was dumbstruck.


    An upright and tall figure was standing straight at the end of the corridor, wearing a ck Armani suit,


    and was in a rage.


    His deep eyes stared at her with murderous intent as if nailing her to the cross of betrayal.


    The phone seemed to stick in her hand, and she could not take it down.


    William turned around and saw Euan. He was calm and was not panicked. He wanted to hold onto


    Riley, but Euan¡¯s words were heard again.


    ¡°Come here.¡±


    The words were undeniable order.


    Riley clenched on her teeth, ¡°I¡­¡±


    ¡°I said,e here.¡±


    His voice was cold as if they were from hell.


    Riley did not dare to exin the situation again. How was she going to exin the situation to him? He


    wouldn¡¯t listen to her.


    Since exining was useless, then she would give up exining instead.


    She raised her head and walked step by step towards him.

 Chapter52 The Man With High Libido in the Ward

    The Man With High Libido in the Ward


    ¡°Hiss!¡±


    Her wrist felt exceptionally painful. Euan¡¯s big hand brutally yanked her under his arm and obviously, he


    deliberately did this to be seen by William. From William¡¯s position, it was just nice that he could see


    Riley¡¯s figure being brought away forcefully.


    He wanted to go after them but it was really inappropriate for him to do so.


    William¡¯s fists were clenched tightly beside his body. His heart had a sharp pain as if it was being burnt.


    ¡°Euan¡­¡±


    Riley¡¯s feet were almost lifted from the ground. Half of her body was trapped in his arms and she could


    only passively follow him. Her high heels kept producing frictional sounds that would cause one to have


    goosebumps when touching the ground from time to time.


    Like a tyrant, Euan¡¯s arms and fists were apparently screaming to express his anger. Euan¡¯s


    resentment blinded his logic and he stared at the front sharply. In the corridor, doctors and nurses


    asionally passed by and when they saw this scene, they did not dare to keep looking at it and just


    lowered their heads down to escape quickly.


    He did not say a word and only expressed his emotions with his actions. He had gone crazy,


    Damn woman! The reason she moved out of his vi and their house was just to have more


    convenience to flirt with another man!


    Very good. He had warned her yesterday that he would let her experience the consequences of being


    disobedient.


    Today, the reason he spared no expense to make a grand banquet of roses was to make her watched


    it, make her heart ached, make her ashamed of herself, and to make her humiliated!


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    He thought that he had seeded.


    However, Euan did not expect that such a big move was inferior to the actions of William and her in


    which theyughed and joked with each other for just a few minutes. What Euan shot out was an arrow


    made by chicken feathers but what she shot back at him was a bullet.


    Fuck!


    Euan¡¯s fury was formidable! He was boiling with rage!


    Riley¡¯s wrist felt really painful to be clutched by him. He had already forgotten the strength of his force


    as he was apparently wanting to crush her bones.


    She was dragged into the elevator. When the elevator started moving up, his eyes were so cold that he


    was like the Grim Reaper. His aura was so intense that she did not dare to say a word. She usually


    dared to confront him as he did not show his real power, but now¡­


    If she tried to struggle, Euan would not hesitate to crush her to death!


    Riley was not stupid, ¡°Euan, if you want to kill me, better finish it today!¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    The elevator door opened again. It was the VIP ward!


    It was the ward where Lydia was in!


    Being forcefully pulled out of the elevator, she saw a big pool of roses that were ced on the entire


    corridor outside the VIP ward. The corridor was paved with red roses that were as red as blood.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    Euan kicked the door of Lydia¡¯s ward and it was opened!


    Lydia was sitting on the sofa while eating fruits gently. Seeing Euan suddenly came back, she showed


    a joyful expression and she got up while smiling, ¡°Euan, you¡¯re back. When you left just now, I thought


    you¡­¡±


    Before she finished her words, Euan¡¯s long arm pulled Riley into the ward!


    ¡®Click¡¯.


    A small piece of apple that was inserted by the toothpick in Lydia¡¯s hand dropped. She looked at Riley


    in shock, ¡°Euan, why does shee here?¡±


    Euan¡¯s mouth twitched and his expression was too terrifying. Due to his anger, his facial features


    apparently seemed to be deformed. The cold air hummed out of his nasal cavity could chill someone


    immensely.


    As if Lydia was self-defencing, she took a step back. She looked timid and did not dare to utter a word


    again.


    Euan threw Riley onto the sofa. Her feet went weak and her body fell onto the soft fabric sofa like a


    broken and unstable skeleton model.


    This did not vent out Euan¡¯s anger. His tall and sturdy body pressed wildly on her body, ¡°Riley, tell me


    how should I punish you?¡±


    Punish?


    The eyes of both Riley and Lydia widened. Next, Riley¡¯s eyes looked as if she was contemting while


    Lydia was sniggering.


    It seemed that Riley had infuriated Euan.


    Riley¡¯s stubbornness in her eyes did notpletely disappear. She stared at him, ¡°What do you want


    to do?¡±


    Euan snorted impatiently, ¡°You¡¯ll know it immediately.¡±


    ¡®Tear¡¯!


    His big hands violently tore Riley¡¯s white coat. His bloody eyes stared at her, ¡°Riley, you asked for it!¡±


    After these words were uttered, he wanted to do his next move but Rileypletely understood. He


    was going to humiliate her in front of Lydia? He wanted topletely crush her dignity.


    No!


    This was where she drew the line!


    ¡°No!¡± Her small hands gripped his cor. This was the first time she said no to him. This single word


    was spoken resolutely, ¡°No¡­Euan.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s toote for you to say no now?¡± His eyes were still full of sarcasm.


    Riley opened her eyes and her lips twitched slightly, ¡°Euan, this is a matter between you and I. It


    shouldn¡¯t have an audience.¡±


    She tried her best to protect the clothes from being torn by him.


    He sped her jaw, ¡°Riley, you also know how to feel ashamed?¡±


    There was no turning back. He could not contain himself anymore.


    ¡®Swish¡¯!


    He yanked her up again and dragged her violently into the washroom!


    ¡®Bang!¡¯ He closed the door with his foot.


    Lydia, who was standing in the living room of the ward, froze for a while, what was Euan going to do?


    Was he going to kill Riley? Based on his expression just now, this was really possible to happen.


    Her red lips curled and she drew out a piece of tissue paper to wipe off the fruit juice on her hands. She


    then leaned against the wall of the balcony to wait for the oue.


    Riley, I would wait and watch how you died.


    In the washroom.


    Euan wrapped her waist with his hand and pressed her against the edge of the washstand. There was


    arge mirror behind her and it reflected Euan¡¯s furious expression.


    He was no longer patient.


    ¡°Euan, no!¡±


    He wanted to do it here?!


    No¡­


    Euan used a hand to mp her waist and arms, not giving her any chance to struggle.


    She looked up in shock and looked at him, ¡°Euan, you fucking pervert!¡±


    ¡®ng¡¯!


    Not wanting to look at her cold eyes, Euan rudely turned her body around so that she was lying on the


    washstand with her back facing him!


    It hurt so much that she could not breathe. Her sweats were flowing profusely but she could not make a


    sound as Lydia was right outside.


    When Riley saw the embarrassing scene reflected by the mirror, she closed her eyes tightly.


    ¡°Why do you refuse to see? On that day, you were even crazier than today. Don¡¯t pretend to be pure


    and innocent now!¡±


    That day? What did he fucking mean by that day? She had no idea what was Euan talking about.


    In the end, Lydia understood what was happening inside the washroom that was a door away.


    Her fingers forcefully gripped the curtain and her nails were embedded in her palm as if she wanted to


    make holes in the curtain. At this moment, Euan was making out with that woman.


    If Euan¡¯s such action was a punishment, then how many women in JD City or even the country were


    eager to have this kind of punishment?


    She was green with envy!


    After a long time, the sound inside finally stopped.


    As if a sniper was aiming at her head, Lydia stared at the door and had apparently lost her presence of


    mind. Tears trickled down her face while her heart was smouldering in resentment.


    Riley¡­must die!


    Euan wore his pants, opened the door and walked out, leaving Riley who was limp in the washroom.


    Like a broken doll, Riley¡¯s body slowly slid off the washstand. Every bone and joint in her body were


    aching with pain.


    When she looked up again, she saw herself with messy hair in the mirror. Her face looked pale and red


    while her hair which became wet and sticky due to her sweat was lying on her face.


    Outside the door, Euan drove Lydia out of the ward and sat on the sofa himself.


    Hearing the sounds of water from inside, Euan frowned tightly and closed his eyes.


    Riley washed her face and somewhat tidied her hair with her hands. She picked up her white coat and


    came out.


    This time, she saw the roses in the ward. The living room, the balcony, the bedroom, and even the


    small space where she was standing, were all with red rose petals.


    The fragrance of the fragrant roses was stunning.


    In a pool of red roses, Euan, who had taken off his jacket, was wearing only a pure white shirt. Hearing


    the sound of the door opening, he said coldly, ¡°How are you going to exin the incident today?¡±


    After bullying her with domination, he still wanted her exnation?


    Riley smiled bitterly. Why didn¡¯t he ask for her exnation before he did that to her?


    She put on her white coat and the pen in the pocket apparently dropped somewhere just now, ¡°What


    exnation do you want? If you¡¯re dissatisfied with my exnation, is it that you want to do the thing


    that happened just now all over again?¡±


    Wasn¡¯t his punishment always the same? Nothing new!


    Euan snorted coldly and gazed at a rose teasingly, ¡°You? It isn¡¯t worth for me to waste so much energy


    on you, but¡­¡± He pinched a magnificent flower with his long fingers, ¡°I don¡¯t mind making the downfall


    of that bastard surnamed Cornell repeat again.¡±


    ¡®Pop¡¯. His fingers loosened and the flower fell onto the ground.


    Euan lifted his shiny leather shoes and gently stepped on the rose, crushing it slowly.


    Riley raised her head and her expression looked cold although her mind almost went crazy, ¡°Euan,


    when are you willing to let me go? I¡¯m already like this now, what are you still dissatisfied with?¡±


    Euan got up and put one hand in his pocket. He walked to her and lifted her jaw with one hand, turning


    it from one side to another. He looked at her face carefully and saw the traces of redness on her face


    that had notpletely disappeared, ¡°I will never be satisfied no matter what you do. Compared to


    what have you done to me, everything I do today is still too kind to you.¡±


    He drew back his hand and looked stern and cold.


    Riley took a deep breath, ¡°Since you say so, please get out of the way, I want to go back to work.¡±


    ¡°Are you going to work or going for a tryst?¡±


    He taunted.


    ¡°Not everyone is as free as you, Euan.¡±


    ¡°Sure, not everyone is as cheap¡­as you too.¡±


    Riley could no longer endure. She took two steps away and moved away from him, ¡°Mr. George,


    pregnant women are not suitable to breathe in air with a too high concentration of fragrance. It¡¯s better


    to take these flowers away.¡±


    Euan looked askance at her back, ¡°Since you say so, you clean up all of them. Remember, you clean


    up everything personally, not even a single petal should be left here.¡±


    Riley clenched her fist tightly, ¡°I¡¯m a doctor, not a cleaner. I¡¯m not responsible for cleaning up rubbish.¡±


    Rubbish. She clearly said that these beautiful flowers in the room were all rubbish.


    Weren¡¯t you going to show romance to her? In her opinion, these were very normal.


    Euan curled his lips, slowly returned to the sofa and sat with his legs crossed, ¡°Then clean up all


    rubbish for me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll throw you and your man¡­who are both rubbish-like eyesores, to the


    dump!¡±

 Chapter53 Goddess, You Have to Return to me

    Goddess, You Have to Return to me


    Riley used almost half an hour only to clear out all of the roses in the ward.


    A huge bunch of roses were shoved into the garbage bin outside the ward. The two green bins were


    crammed full of the roses with remnants of the flowers and leaves sticking out of the opening while


    some of them were scattered on the floor.


    A minute ago, the roses represented the memento of love, but at the moment its fate had taken a turn.


    Riley stared at the abandoned roses for a while before turning around and left expressionlessly.


    If he was going to humiliate her using such a method, she wanted to show him some ignorance too.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, where are you going? If the attending physician goes missing, those existing patients will


    probably unite and aim their discontent at you.¡±


    Serena was gesturing with exaggerated movements to mimic themotion from earlier on. Riley


    froze when she heard that. Why was her memory so weak?


    ¡°I¡¯ll go over now. Are the patients still queuing?¡±


    Serena chuckled when she saw Riley¡¯s nervous expression, ¡°Wow, so Dr. Watson is also affected by


    emotional changes. You can be rest assured, the outside world is all cherry roses and sunshine. You


    have an imminent danger waiting for you, but the deputy dean has arranged for someone to take your


    ce. You¡¯re fine now.¡±


    Why was William interfering again?


    It felt like he had her in the palm of his hands. This didn¡¯t feel good at all.


    Serena nudged her arm with a mysterious air around her while she started to gossip, ¡°Dr. Watson, our


    extremely handsome deputy dean seems to be caring about you a lot. Not only did he block off the


    reporters, he has also arranged for a recement physician. There must be something going on


    behind our back!¡±


    ¡°This shows that the deputy dean is just fulfilling his job perfect with a responsible and serious attitude.


    It¡¯s not like what you are thinking.¡±


    Riley thrust her hand into her pockets and the difort she had been feeling was instantly amplified


    as she started walking. She squinted and frowned while being assaulted by the pain, and she almost


    lost her bnce and fell down with her high heels underneath her.


    Serena grabbed her and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it because you have t foot?¡±


    She was not used to being so intimate with someone else other than Sarah, but she didn¡¯t struggle to


    break free of Serena¡¯s grasp, ¡°I just feel exhausted. I will be fine after a nap.¡±


    ¡°You scare me. I thought that you have been exhausted and stretched too much that your legs are


    buckling too. Dr. Watson, it must feel nice to have the deputy dean watching over and caring for you


    while you are being interviewed by reporters!¡±


    Serena hooked her arm around Riley¡¯s and as they walked forward she couldn¡¯t stopmenting about


    that incident from a few days ago. Riley was being awkwardly led along and she was feeling extreme


    difort due to her dislike of being in close contact with others.


    Finally, the time to get off work hade. While Riley was changing her clothes, a button fell off her


    white coat. With a frown, she rolled up her clothes and threw them into the garbage bin!


    Just as Riley was just stepping out of the hospital entrance, her phone rang. When she saw the caller¡¯s


    name, a cold smile formed on her lips.


    Thest time this person had been rendered speechless by her, but it seemed that she had recovered


    now. Riley said, ¡°Spill it.¡±


    Freya¡¯s cold snicker sounded at the other end of the phone, ¡°Riley, my dear sister, you are so


    embarrassing! Your man has carried away another woman in front of the reporters, leaving you, his


    supposedly original partner behind. You are really something! I¡¯m feeling impressed!¡±


    Freya was never one to spout something good after all. As Riley continued driving, she put on her


    Bluetooth earpiece, ¡°Are you done with your nonsense? If so, hang up!¡±


    ¡°Why are you in a hurry? Do you think I really care about that insignificant thing that has happened to


    you? Mummy and I are waiting for you to be shunned by the George family. By then, I hope you won¡¯t


    be too embarrassing to the point of making the Watson family lose face.¡±


    ¡°So you have called to fart in front of me! Even if you are that shameless, I don¡¯t even want to hear


    what you have to say.¡±


    She reached out, wanting to tear off her Bluetooth earpiece.


    ¡°Riley, mummy¡¯s birthday is on Saturday. The Watson family is going to throw a dinner banquet at


    Regal restaurant. Remember to attend, you good-for-nothing waste of the family. As for Euan¡­ I don¡¯t


    you are capable of bringing him along at all. Remember not to wear too tastelessly as to bring down the


    standard of our banquet. I can¡¯t have any expectations at all for such a poor doctor.¡±


    A banquet? If she were to attend, this mother and daughter tandem would definitely have something up


    their sleeves.


    ¡°Freya, are you even a match for me? Even if I don¡¯t bring him along, I will let you know that I will


    always be your elder sister!¡±


    ¡°Stop being stubborn! We won¡¯t know who the loser is until the end!¡±


    ¡°Good, it seems that you have grown a little. I will see the oue for myself.¡±


    She tore off her earpiece and was determined to attend the banquet organized by the Watson family!


    She had too much pent-up frustration, and she needed something help her ease that, so Freya and her


    mother has appeared at the right timing!


    In the blink of an eye, it was finally Saturday.


    In the afternoon, Riley dragged Sarah to do some facial makeover, manicure and also outfitting


    themselves. They spent the entirety of their two months¡¯ worth of sry in just doing that.


    Sarah was stupefied with Riley¡¯s actions, ¡°What is going on? Are we going to do a total makeover and


    reborn as new human beings? You are spending way too much. Did Euan that bastard give you some


    pocket money?¡±


    Riley was fumbling with her hair, ¡°Do I need his money? I am still the ace doctor after all. I am in the


    high-ie group, did you forget that?¡±


    ¡°This is amazing! Riley, you are finally looking more like the Riley I once knew. You have unbearably


    turned into a forlorn housewife after being married to Euan. Goddess, you have toe back fast!¡±


    Riley stroked her chin and replied, ¡°You goddess will return tonight.¡±


    Riley smiled at the charming woman inside the mirror as she applied a rose colored lipstick to her lips.


    No matter a light or heavy makeup, she could handle the look.


    Afterpleting their makeup, Riley reached out her hand, ¡°Pass me the car key.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°I am going to go into a warzone tonight. Don¡¯t you think that I should have some gear? My car is not


    suited for the asion.¡±


    Sarah broke into a fit ofughter, ¡°Oh my god, this is too funny! I can¡¯t believe that Dr. Watson is finally


    caring for her image. Great! Here you go with the car, and by the way, I¡¯ll give you this limited edition


    jewelry bought in Mn too. There are only three of these in the world. Use this to destroy Lydia!¡±


    Actually, she was not going to target Lydia tonight, but no matter. She epted the tiffany ne


    and wore it around her neck. The piece of jewelry sparkled under the light on her slender and pale


    neck.


    ¡°Right! Not bad, not bad. You must use all of your might to destroy the mistress. Riley, I have high


    expectations of you!¡±


    Riley smirked confidently, ¡°Of course.¡±


    In the Regal restaurant, the lighting here flooded the whole ce and made it as clear as day. There


    was a long line of luxury cars parked outside the lobby, and huge red carpet stretched endlessly for


    ssy people to walk on it. The whole ce was very luxurious.


    It seemed like the mother and daughter tandem had poured a lot of their efforts into this birthday


    banquet.


    Under the crystal chandelier in the big hall, guests were clinking sses of wine and evening dresses


    and skirts could be seen whipping up a storm. A youngdy dressed in white evening gown was


    ying a melodic tune on a piano on the stage.


    ¡°Hey! Mr. West, long time no see. You are looking younger every time I see you!¡±


    ¡°Mr. Marshall, thest time we met, it was at the auctionst year. After not seeing you for such a long


    time, I heard that your business is doing well.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Welch, thank you foring!¡±


    In the main hall, Freya and Lauren Murphy were weing and tending to the guests. All those who


    attended this banquet were distinguished guests, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t be invited in the first ce.


    At first ce, this was her birthday banquet, but in actuality this was Lauren Murphy¡¯s mean to scour


    more wealth into her pockets. She always used this opportunity to elevate Freya¡¯s social standing and


    status amongst the elites.


    Nobody really knew how the Watsons were doing, but they knew the truth pretty well.


    Of course, this included Riley.


    A pair of red high-heels emerged from a car, and out came Riley who was clutching a small purse


    embroidered with tiny diamond stones. Her ring finger had a huge diamond ring on it, which was a gift


    from Euan. The deep-V ck evening dress sessfully brought out her voluptuous figure.


    She usually didn¡¯t bother to doll herself up, but that didn¡¯t mean she didn¡¯t have the package to unt.


    Her pale white skin was in great contrast with her ck evening dress, and her hair was being tied up


    high, exposing her earrings which sparkled and swayed on her neck. In the middle of her vicle


    bones, the diamond ne was taking its center stage.


    She didn¡¯t look hypocritical at all with the amount of jewelry on her, but those who were in the know


    could see that each of the pieces of her jewelry was a masterpiece which would have cost a fortune.


    It had been a while since Riley had appeared at such an asion. After entering the venue, the waiter


    removed her white coat, and unexpectedly nobody recognized her.


    ¡°Ms. Murphy, today is such an important day. Why is Ms. Watson not here yet?¡±


    Lauren Murphy who had a mink scarf on her shoulders was secretly seething with rage. It had been a


    long time since Joseph Watson¡¯s demise, but all of his old friends never thought of her as the legitimate


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    youngdy of the Watson family. All they were looking for was Riley!


    With a ss of wine in hand, she giggled, ¡°Mr. Nash, if you are looking for the youngdy of the


    Watson family, isn¡¯t she just right in front of your eyes?¡±


    Freya immediately put on a smile, ¡°Mr. Nash, nice to meet you. I am Freya.¡±


    Mr. Nash nced at Freya, and the smile on his face diminished, ¡°It seems that Riley will not be


    Lauren Murphy gnashed her teeth, ¡°Mr. Nash, I wanted her toe too, but Riley is really too


    unbing. She doesn¡¯t even want to show her face in a family event, and I can do nothing about


    that. Please excuse such a disgrace in the family.¡±


    Riley curled up the corner of her mouth, and as she got herself a ss of red wine from a waiter¡¯s tray,


    she swayed into the center court while announcing, ¡°Mr. Nash, I am here!¡±


    A clear voice pierced through the rummaging noise in the hall, and everyone instantly turned around


    only to see a slender and charming figure approaching them. This woman was exuding an expensive


    and ssy aura.


    Mr. Nash only need to take a nce beforeunching into a guffaw, ¡°Riley, you are all grown up! You


    look so pretty now! Back then, while you are still by your father¡¯s side, you are just a little rascal!¡±


    With Mr. Nash¡¯s mention, it finally dawned on everyone that this woman was none other than Joseph


    Watson¡¯s eldest daughter, Riley Watson! She was someone who was supposed to inherit the throne of


    the Watson family, but she somehow disappeared for some reason.


    Riley revealed a generous smile, ¡°Mr. Nash, you are still like back then. You still love to joke. Come, let


    me toast to you!¡±


    ¡°So you are Ms. Watson, it is my pleasure to meet you!¡±


    ¡°Ms. Watson, it¡¯s the first time I see you here. Let me toast to you!¡±


    ¡°Ms. Watson, you are dazzling today. You can even give your mother back then a run for her money!¡±


    For this banquet which was organized by Lauren Murphy and her daughter with hard work, Riley was


    able to be the center of attention the moment she introduced her presence!


    Freya gritted her teeth while whispering by her mother¡¯s ears, ¡°Mummy, are you just going to let her do


    this?¡±


    Lauren Murphy suppressed her anger whileforting Freya, ¡°You mustn¡¯t be worried. This is just the


    beginning, and we should let her taste victory. Our show is going to happenter on, so what are you


    worried about?¡±


    Mr. Nash took a sip of his wine while asking with concern, ¡°Do you have your eyes on any gentleman?


    If so, please bring him to me. I will make sure to take a good look at him.¡±


    Freya suddenly intruded, ¡°Mr. Nash, don¡¯t you know this? My sister is someone formidable nowadays.


    She¡­¡±


    ¡°I am not the main character here. I will pay you a visit specially in the future. Mr. Nash, please enjoy.¡±


    After saying that, Riley dragged Freya¡¯s arm and dragged her all the way to a corner, ¡°Freya, let me


    warn you. You better watch your mouth tonight!¡±


    ¡°Oh? Why is that? Are you afraid of being embarrassed by the fact that you are not acknowledged by


    the George family? If you are scared of that, you shouldn¡¯te! Bitch!¡±


    Riley exerted more force into her finger as she pinched Freya hard to the point that she went pale,


    ¡°Stop being so stubborn, you know you are not my opponent. If you want this banquet to go on


    smoothly, you should watch your trap!¡±


    ¡°Riley, what are you being so stuck-up about? Do you think that you are all high and mighty now with


    some old man backing you up?¡±


    ¡°Who needs anybody to back me up? Freya, we are different. Without your mother, you are nothing!¡±


    After saying that, she flung away Freya¡¯s arm and strutted into the hall which was full of elites and


    socialites.


    Freya gnashed her teeth and vowed to make her pay!

 Chapter 54 That Couple

    Chapter 54 That Couple


    ¡°Riley, you look quite nice when you dress up!¡± As Riley was watching the guests, Hendrix¡¯s voice


    came abruptly. She frowned and turned around. There was a surprised look in her limpid eyes. ¡°Why


    are you here?¡± Hendrix swirled the wine in his ss and leaned against the chair casually.


    He let out a leer with frivolity. ¡°I heard that there¡¯s a prettydy showing up tonight, that¡¯s why I came.


    And it¡¯s indeed worth the trip.¡± He nced at her from head to toes with a yful look. Riley bent her


    arm and put her other hand which was holding the wine ss on the bending part of her arm. She let


    out a false smile. ¡°I can see Mr. George has plenty of time for leisure, do enjoy yourself.¡±


    ¡°Ohe on, you¡¯re indeed impressive. It¡¯s already hard to deal with one Lydia Saunders, now there


    are actually two at home. Do you need help? I can give you a discount for the sake of our friendship.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t need that. You better stay still and not cause any trouble.¡±


    ¡°How boring. I would never involve myself in this if there¡¯s someone from our house wanted toe. I


    have to say, Riley, your family seems to be quite poor when dealing with this. My dad only said one


    word when he saw the invitation letter---pretend!¡±


    Riley clenched her fingers. ¡°Mr. George, are you looking for trouble?¡±


    ¡°Why would I? What trouble could I possibly look for here? I¡¯m going after the wine.¡± Hendrix drawled


    and left while holding the wine ss. Riley sighed. The Watson family was once a big reputable family


    back then in JD City and her parents were famous people in the business world. Now that the family


    had fallen into Lauren Murphy¡®s hands, their status had plummeted.


    During the toast¡¯s exchange, the banquet hall suddenly fell into silence. Everyone all looked towards


    the entrance of the hall and under the dazzling light, a man who was wearing a handmade ck suit


    had arrived with a sexydy in a white gown with sparkling glitters.


    Riley¡¯s eyes were zing with anger as she looked at Euan who appeared dignified through the


    crowds. Her throat constricted. Why was he here? Could he possibly not know what asion is it


    tonight? It was the Watson family¡¯s banquet, and as the son-inw of the Watson family, he had


    actually brought Lydia here right in front of her and her mother¡¯s eyes. He was trying to humiliate her!


    A smile slowly broke upon Freya¡¯s lips. She slowly drank the wine and deliberately sought for Riley¡¯s


    presence among the crowds. It was going to be an exciting night.


    Euan¡¯s arrival instantly stirred a hugemotion in the hall. Many people had wanted to make


    connections with him during this kind of asion, yet he had always refused toe close to them.


    They wanted to approach him but there was no chance. With just a short moment, half of the guests


    had surrounded Euan to act obliging and tter him, and Lydia was holding his arm as if she was his


    official girlfriend. She received their envy and prayer with a huge smile.


    Lauren Murphy narrowed her eyes. ¡°Freya, you better exin this, what is going on now?¡± Freya


    sneered. ¡°Mom, our position would be unstable if we don¡¯t get rid of Riley. Didn¡¯t she rely on Euan


    George? Then I¡¯ll crush her sweet dream.¡±


    ¡°You fool! Having involved Euan, what would happen to the Watson¡¯s debt if he doesn¡¯t want that bitch?


    Riley is our cash cow.¡±


    ¡°Mom! How would I have the chance if Riley¡¯s not dead? Is the cash cow more important or the money


    safe?¡± Lauren Murphy let out a cruel smile. ¡°You¡¯re indeed my clever daughter. Then what do you want


    to do?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s just watch the show.¡±


    Euan dealt with the people who wanted to chat with him lethargically. There was a gloomy look on his


    handsome face and he had fixed his deep eyes on a beautiful figure among the crowds. She was


    wearing a deep V gown which was greatly revealing when she walked. Her skinny figure was


    surrounded by several tall men and she was chatting joyfully with them. She used to mention she never


    favour this kind of asion, it seemed like she was just pretending to be pure and innocent!


    ¡°Euan?¡± Lydia tugged at his sleeve. She called him softly when she saw his eyes zed over. He


    seemed to not hear the words she said just now at all. ¡°You¡¯re pregnant and how many times should I


    remind you not to drink wine?¡± Euan gave an obviously absent-minded reply and his deep eyes once


    again fell onto the woman in ck among the crowds.


    Lydia followed his eyes and saw Riley. Damn, it was her again! That godforsaken woman! ¡°Euan---¡±


    She called him sweetly and right in front of the guests, she tipped her toes and kissed him on the lips.


    Her kiss was gentle and she touched his face with the hand with a diamond ring, wanting to divert his


    attention to her.


    ¡°Wow! Mr. George and Miss Saunders look so deeply in love together!¡±


    ¡°What a perfect match!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m so envious! This couple has such dazzling looks!¡±


    ¡°The ne Miss Saunders is wearing is limited edition. Mr. George is so generous towards her.¡±


    Praises followed one after the other and Riley¡¯s attention was attracted too. The moment she turned


    around, she saw two people kissing. There was not a change in her expression. She slowly raised her


    wine ss and took a sip, as if she was watching a farce.


    Euan initially wanted to push Lydia away, yet Riley¡¯s reaction provoked him and he immediately put his


    hand around Lydia¡¯s slim waist, stooped and kissed her harder. Everyone instantly cheered and


    thunderous pping sounds were heard at the scene. Even the guests who were enjoying meal at


    different corners all left their seats and joined the crowds, encircling them.


    Lauren Murphy¡¯s dinner banquet had totally be a performance stage for Euan and Lydia to


    showcase their love. Riley lifted her head and gulped down the whole ss of wine. The alcohol burnt


    her throat. Lydia sped her slim fingers onto Euan¡¯s arm and tossed Riley a disdainful smile. Yet Riley


    remained her expression as if Lydia never existed.


    Both of them chatted with guests in different groups. As they walked, they reached the centre of the


    hall under the chandelier at the same time. Euan was chatting and dealing with the enterprise¡¯s


    executives. Lydia saw the ne Riley was wearing when they came close to each other. It turned


    out it was exactly the same as the one she was wearing now! That was given by Euan¡¯s mother! Could


    it be she had given one to Riley too?


    At the same time, Riley saw her neck too and she frowned. What a coincidence! Global limited edition?


    Damn, this woman liked to buy limited edition stuff too. ¡°Wow, Miss Saunders, Miss Watson, your


    nes are actually the same brand. This is the newest edition and is limited globally. Those who


    have it are lucky.¡± Pff, it was more like what wealthy rtives you had.


    Lydia caressed her ne and smiled gently. She chuckled. ¡°This ne is given by Euan¡¯s


    mother, but as for Miss Watson¡¯s one, I have no idea where it came from.¡± Riley pulled down her face.


    It was given by Anika, no wonder she could be so proud wearing it! Both of them were beside Euan


    and he could hear their conversation clearly. He glimpsed at Riley from the corner of his eye and was


    waiting for her reply.


    Riley chuckled. ¡°Me? I have too many jewelries and I only took one randomly. I¡¯ve forgotten who gave it


    to me.¡± Lydia gritted her teeth. ¡°Miss Watson is indeed a noble mistress, I can see you have many


    adorers!¡± Her words were purposely directed to Euan. But could the words ¡°noble mistress¡± have


    anything to do with Riley?


    Riley nced at the man¡¯s lofty back from the corner of her eye and said, ¡°It is quite annoying to have


    so many adorers. But I think Miss Saunders is lucky to have such a rich man whom everyone wants.


    That¡¯s a walking ATM and a gift machine! You only need to try a bit harder to get what you want.¡±


    Everyone at the scene knew what she meant. Euan liked to y with women just for excitement. The


    gifts he gave would definitely not less when he was satisfied. A flurry of softughter was instantly


    heard at once. Lydia clenched her fists and retorted, ¡°Miss Watson, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m afraid that even


    someone wants it, Euan is not even interested at all!¡±


    Riley took a sip of the wine and replied with contempt, ¡°You¡¯re right. For someone like me who has bad


    looks and is inept in house chores, he would certainly feel uninterested. Therefore you should cherish


    it. There are young models every year, but youth onlysts for a few years.¡± Euan frowned slightly. That


    woman!


    ¡°You! You disgusting bitch!¡±


    ¡°What? You want to beat me up?¡±


    Lydia did want to beat her up, but she had to maintain her appearance as an elegantdy in front of the


    guests. She then held back her rage. ¡°Riley Watson, you better watch out, we¡¯re not done yet!¡± Riley


    shrugged. ¡°Sure, anytime, Miss Saunders.¡± The mistresses from noble families all covered their mouth


    and was obvious they wereughing at Lydia. It was just that they did not dare to show it in the open


    due to Lydia¡¯s identity.


    Freya walked onto the stage and smiled sweetly. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, the food has been prepared


    outside, please move towards the entrance.¡± There was a whole row of self-serving delicacies and a


    tall champagne tower surrounding the swimming pool in the middle. The neon lights on the trees


    glowed and the night looked fascinating. Violinists were ying music at the scene and guests were


    walking around with perfumed clothes and gorgeous hair.


    ¡°Miss Watson, care to have a dance with me?¡± A courteous and charming man extended his hand to


    invite her for a dance and it was only then Riley realized it was already dancing time. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± She


    declined and the man left in disappointment. Hendrix gripped his wine ss and caught a glimpse of


    her skinny figure under the light. He gulped down the wine and grasped her hand, almost crushing her


    fingers.


    ¡°Riley, are you gonna just watch them like that? Lydia and my big brother¡­they¡¯re just messing up!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? I think it¡¯s quite good, your brother is charismatic and likeable, even the


    international film star wants to dedicate herself, isn¡¯t it a good thing?¡±


    Hendrix was so irritated that he looked up to the sky. ¡°Okay, so you have such a big heart to tolerate


    the other woman. My good intention is being trampled, and I¡¯ll just leave you by yourself!¡± Watching


    Hendrix left, Riley teased herself. It was really good. There was no smoke without fire. She took off the


    ring from her finger and put it into her purse. She originally wanted to use the wedding ring to stop


    other men from closing close, it seemed like she no longer needed it anymore.


    She gulped down more than half of the wine and there was blush on her pale cheeks. Her eyes had


    lost focus and she rubbed her temples, ready to get up. ¡°Miss Watson, can I invite you for a dance?¡±


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    This time, a man wearing suit and leather shoes stooped and invited her. Riley looked up and replied,


    ¡°Sure!¡±


    Shended her hand onto the man¡¯s palm and started to dance. Her ck dress swayed and with the


    music of the violins, she looked incredibly beautiful when her rosy cheeks blended with the moonlight.


    Even Lydia who was shimmering with her luxurious dress looked a little dull. Euan exerted more and


    more force on his grasp towards the wine ss and he nearly broke it into pieces.


    The woman who was at the dance floor had a slim waist that swung with the music rhythm. The man


    was putting his big hand on her waist and he smelled the fragrance on her body. ¡°You¡¯re beautiful, Miss


    Watson.¡± She could sense a pair of burning eyes watching her and she let out a smile. ¡°Thank you,


    you¡¯re handsome too.¡± Euan tossed Lydia away and the surging rage made him wanted to choke Riley.


    He strode forward.


    ¡°Mr. George, long time no see!¡± Freya walked over gracefully. She was wearing a red strapless and


    backless gown and she had a curvy figure. Euan squinted. ¡°What?¡± She chuckled. ¡°I suppose my


    sister¡¯s flirtatious nature is hard to change. Not only she had a debauched private life previously, she


    didn¡¯t know how to act properly even after marriage.¡±


    She suddenly tipped her toes and came close to his right ear. ¡°Mr. George, having married such an


    indecent woman, I suppose you¡¯ve been cuckolded many times already?¡± Euan snatched her wrist and


    said, ¡°Get lost.¡± She was still not eligible enough to judge his woman. Freya nearly burst into tears due


    to the pain and she murmured in grievance. ¡°Mr. George, what I said is true, if you don¡¯t get rid of her,


    she¡¯ll one day¡­¡±


    ¡°I said, get lost!¡± His fierce hawk-like eyes did not show any mercy and Freya was so horrified that she


    shut her mouth up and quickly retreated. ¡°Euan, even her own sister can¡¯t tolerate her anymore. For


    your future reputation, you really don¡¯t want to divorce her now?¡± Euan glimpsed at Lydia from the


    corner of his eyes. ¡°Do you want to get lost too?¡±


    ¡°I¡­I was only saying. Please don¡¯t be angry. I know the reason you keep her is to torture her. Euan, no


    matter what decision you make, I¡¯ll always support you.¡± Euan tossed her hand away and said, ¡°You¡¯re


    being too talkative today.¡± A bunch of middle-aged bosses immediately swarmed towards him when


    they just separated for a few centimeters. ¡°Mr. George¡­¡± Lydia was given the cold shoulder and she


    gritted her teeth with dissatisfaction.


    The music ended and Riley stooped gracefully, winning the cheers from the crowds. Freya crossed her


    arms before her chest and sneered. ¡°Why, you still have the mood to dance when your husband is


    acting lovey-dovey with other woman? Riley Watson, are you being heartless or shameless?¡± Riley


    took out several wet wipes and wiped her hands hard which were touched by the man. ¡°Save your


    energy if you want to use your poor speaking to tease me.¡± She threw the wipes away and drank clean


    water.


    Freya sneered. ¡°I suppose you¡¯ve been hurt? Tut tut, it does feel bad to marry a man who flirts and


    sleeps with other woman!¡± Riley was not moved and she replied, ¡°You can¡¯t wait that the woman who


    he flirts and sleeps with are you. You¡¯ve always coveted you brother-inw and wanted to get married


    into the George family. Why do you want to force me to expose that? Freya Watson!¡±


    ¡°Bitch! How dare you?¡± Lauren Murphy approached Riley with an imposing manner. She raised her


    hand and wanted to p her but Freya stopped her. ¡°Mom, pping her would only dirty your hand.¡±


    Freya slowly approached the swimming pool and said, ¡°Riley, why don¡¯t we use another way?¡± Riley


    frowned. What was she trying to do? Push her into the pool? Having wanted to use such a poor trick on


    her, she was truly dumb.


    ¡°What a moron!¡± She said that and wanted to leave, but Freya suddenly extended her hand towards


    her. She snatched her wrist with her pale hand and she widened her eyes which were attached with


    fake eyebrows. ¡°What would the guests think if they see my dear sister push me into the pool?¡±


    ¡°Freya Watson, what are you doing? Let go!¡±


    Freya chuckled. ¡°What are you doing? Come over here!¡±

 Chapter 55 Embarrassment

    Chapter 55 Embarrassment


    "You shoulde over to me."


    If Freya wanted to trap her, she at least needed the IQ for that.


    She didn''t even know where she stood!


    The moment Freya was about to jump into the swimming pool, Riley pulled her hard.


    Ssh!


    Freya fell on Riley with all her weight, and the two of them fell onto the ground together!


    When the guests heard the noise, they all looked over to them, and saw that it was the Watson sisters


    that fell on the ground.


    "What the hell happened?! Riley, what did you do to your sister?" Lauren suddenly screamed, as if


    something horrible just happened which led them a huge loss.


    Riley was pressed on the ground, she couldn''t get up, her back crashed onto the floor.


    This was not a game, she was in so much pain that she sucked in cold air, but she showed no


    expression on the face, she just pushed Freya away, and said, "Why aren''t you more careful when you


    are walking? If I hadn''t pulled you in, you would have fallen into the pool."


    Freya bit her teeth, and said between the teeth, "You bitch! What are you socent about!"


    It was in such a low voice that nobody around could hear, the smile on her face didn''t fade, her big


    sister caring about her was apuded by the crowd.


    "Of course I amcent, go for wool ande home shorn, next time you need to use your brain


    before you do anything. Don''t think just because you watched all those series, so you know what to


    do."


    Lauren pulled up her daughter, and patted her all over, "How are you? Are you alright? Did you get


    hurt?"


    "No!"


    Riley was still on the ground, and some people passing by reached out a hand to help her up, she


    lowered her head and thanked them.


    Euan and Hendrix both watched the scene, the way she pulled her sister back was so doughty that it


    didn''t looked like a woman, but then again, the way she put her strength into it seemed like a woman


    that was forced to her limits.


    "Miss Watson, you have abrasions on the back of your arm, you need to see a doctor so he can fix you


    up."


    Riley raised her arm and looked at it, the fall scratched her skin off a bit. She smiled, "It''s okay. Keep


    going, don''t get too close to the swimming pool. If something like this happens again, I can''t guarantee


    that I can save them."


    Regardless of her injuries, she gave the guests generous reminders and made jokes, which won


    everyone''s praise, "Miss Watson, I didn''t expect you to be so humorous, haha!"


    Euan frowned and was about to leave the table.


    He didn''t want to watch the drama tonight.


    Hendrix was surrounded by a group of beauties, drinking with them one after another, showing his


    romantic attitude, Riley didn''t even bother to watch it.


    No wonder they were brothers, they were the same in their heart!


    But she had never noticed that Hendrix''s gaze was always on her.


    Riley hissed as she raised her hand, the pain of both arms came at the same time, the pain was bad,


    and then she raised her head, but couldn''t find the tall ck figure in the crowd.


    In her heart, she felt an unspeakable loss. Everything tonight, if it was a performance, the only


    audience she wanted was him.


    She wanted him to see that she was not a someone that could be pushed around, she could build up


    her own world.


    But when he left, her interest in acting was gone.


    However, the banquet was not over yet, as the host, she couldn''t leave early.


    "Riley, you are really a scheming bitch. No wonder you could sessfully marry into the George family,


    you really do have some skills." She scanned her sister''s fingers with a poisonous look, "Oh, you are


    not wearing the wedding ring? You haven''t been driven yet and you already don''t dare to prove who


    you are?"


    Riley was holding on to her bag, her finger stiffened, "If I have the skills to marry into the George family,


    then I have the skills to kick you out of them Watson family as well, do you believe me?"


    "Hahaha! You? Riley, you need to take a good look at yourself, and, I am the biggest shareholder of the


    Watson Group, the heir of the Watson family is my mother, who are you to fight with me!"


    Riley bit her teeth, the one mistake she made was going to hurt her forever, that little girl all those years


    ago now turned into the ungrateful person today, and she was the one who made the mistake!


    "Only if I want to, Daddy''s old friends would work together and against the Watson Group, Mr. Nash is


    only one of them. Let me remind you that Mr. Nash''spany is about twice the sizepared to the


    Watson Group."


    She had hit Freya in the right spot, who was now furious, "Riley, you are the one who is pushing me!"


    Freya grabbed for Riley''s bag, and emptied the content, until she saw the shining diamond ring.


    "Haha, so it really was in here!"


    Freya picked up the ring, and held it in her hands, "Look at me, I wanna see how you can still save it


    this time!"


    "Give it to me!"


    ¡°Whoosh¡±


    She raised her arms, and the shining little item flew out in a bell shape, until itnded in the middle of


    the swimming pool.


    "Freya, just wait for it!"


    She sped her arm andughed coldly, "I am actually waiting!"


    The ring, it was her wedding ring! She couldn''t lose it!


    Riley kicked off her heels, raised her arms and jumped into the pool!


    The whole crowd was shocked, even Euan who wasn''t too far away, was stopped by the sound of the


    water.


    "Miss Watson! Miss Warson!"


    Riley?! What was this stupid woman doing again?!


    The water was so cold that it went through her bones, it wasn''t the temperature for swimming in an


    outdoor pool yet since it was not in hottest season in summer, when Riley jumped in the water it was as


    if her body was steaming, the shock of the temperature made her drunkenness vanish, and she was


    suddenly sober, she felt cold, and the water in her wounds were paining her.


    She didn''t have the energy to bother about it, she had to find the ring, she just had to!


    She inhaled deep, and bent down to swim to the bottom, it was hard to open her eyes, but she was


    searching carefully.


    The ring! Her ring!


    The crowd on the side of the pool all looked shocked, "What happened? What is Miss Watson doing?"


    Freya smiled as she exined, "She probably thinks the atmosphere is a little suppressed and wants


    to cheer everyone up!"


    ...


    "Miss Watson has prepared a show? Wow, she is really good at diving, she must have held her breath


    for two minutes?"


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    What the hell!


    Hendrix saw Riley jump into the water, and also heard them discussing, he threw his wine ss away,


    and without even taking his shoes off, he jumped into the water!


    Hendrix tried to pull her back up, but Riley was fighting with her life, "Let go of me!"


    "What the fuck, are you stupid, are you actually putting a show on holding your breath? If you don''t go


    back up, you will be famous!"


    "Hendrix, get out of here, I lost something!"


    She pushed Hendrix to the side as she tried to dive in again, the crowd was praising, and taking


    pictures, the shes were shining and stinging in their eyes, Riley was really going to be famous.


    "You are fucking crazy! What did you lose? Get out first, we can empty the water to look for it."


    "You are the one that''s fucking crazy! If you let the water out, it will be flushed along!"


    She bent down to look for her ring again, she pushed the water with both hands, in the huge swimming


    pool, the water wave was floating, the reflection of the moonlight crushed, it looked cold and pale.


    Hendrix was furious, he grabbed her with both hands and pulled her out, "Get out, whatever you lost, I


    will help you find it."


    Riley looked at the crowd that was watching her with cold eyes, she was so cold that her lips had


    turned purple, she bit her lips and said, "If you really want to help me then get these people out of


    here."


    Outside the pool, Freya and Lauren finally looked satisfied.


    Lauren announced to the guests, "We are really sorry, this child needs some manners, she doesn''t


    know what she is doing, sorry you all had to see this, I will definitely give her a lecture."


    "Guys, my sister was deeply affected by the death of our father, she probably thought of him tonight,


    so..."


    She pointed at her head, "Thank you for understanding."


    Was this for real? She was the elder daughter of the Watson family, did she really have mental issues?


    To the point that she would act up at a party?


    Euan came back, his ck eyes were suppressing, Riley this stupid woman! Could she be even more


    embarrassing?


    "Elijah,e to the Regal restaurant immediately, you have two minutes!"


    After he hung up, Euan''s pace fastened, his dark aura was covering the ce like a storm cloud, "Let


    me through."


    Euan said, the guests made a path for him, when he saw the two of them in the pool, his head almost


    exploded!


    Those two didn''t know what they were doing!


    "Hendrix,e out!"


    Euan demanded, the guests were surprised, Hendrix? What did Euan just call this young man? Was he


    the second son of the George family that was abroad for a couple of years, the one that was often


    talked about, Hendrix George?


    Oh my--


    The eldest daughter of the Watson family lost her mind and the second son of the George family


    jumped in the water to rescue her, could there be any bigger gossip than that?


    "Bro, she..."


    "Get out!"


    Hendrix bit his teeth, "Bro, she is looking for something but couldn''t find it."


    Euan''s dark eyes looked like he wanted to strangle him, "What does that have to do with you? Are you


    also crazy?"


    Crazy?


    Riley stood up straight, she waspletely wet and her clothes were stuck on her skin, her curves


    were hot!


    She looked at Euan doubtful, her eyes were questioning him, you were the same as the others? You


    also thought I was crazy?


    I was fucking crazy! Only if I was crazy, I would care so much about a ring that had no meaning at all!


    Only if I was crazy, I would be searching for it like a mad woman!


    But, she didn''t want to waste her breath.


    After she looked at him coldly, she went on to search for it.


    At the bottom of the pool, she saw something shiny, Riley did her best to get there, and picked up the


    ring, then she held it tight in her hand!


    She found it!


    That moment felt as if she got the best news on earth, her face was covered in a big smile under water,


    then she inhaled, and swallowed a lot of water.


    Hendrix was forced to get onnd, and when Riley got up from the bottom of the pool, Hendrix was on


    Riley wanted to get onnd, she lowered her head--


    Fuck! Her clothes exposed her figure!


    She went down again...


    Fucking Euan, were you going to just let people see your wife like that?


    Euan looked at her for a couple of seconds, then he said in a cold voice, "Dear male guests, do you


    think it is appropriate to stare like that?"


    Only when he said that, the men all turned and didn''t dare to look at the pretty picture again.


    Even the eldest son of the George''s was going to get involved, this was not understandable to the


    guests.


    Riley looked around herself, then she got out of the water, dragging water behind her, her dress was as


    if it was glued on her skin, it looked even sexier than if she was naked.


    Euan opened his mouth, but didn''t speak.


    He took off his jacket rudely, and wrapped Riley into it, then he took her into his arms.


    The second time, it was the second time that he had to cover for her.


    She was being embarrassing outside, but he had to clean up her mess, how many times was she


    nning on doing this again?


    Riley was so cold that she was trembling all over, her lips were dark blue, her face was so pale that it


    had no color at all, "I need to exin that, I don''t have mental issues!"


    Even her voice sounded cold, when she opened her mouth, steam came out.


    The two of them were very close to each other, her ice cold body was leaning against his hot chest, ice


    and fire met, and her heart was racing.


    "You want to exin? Riley, don''t you think you have been embarrassing enough? Do you really want


    them to think that you aren''t normal?"


    The two of them were whispering to each other so that the guests couldn''t hear anything, but they were


    wondering about the sudden flirtatious atmosphere between the two of them.


    Euan had always been a cold and emotionless person, why would he help a mad woman? What was


    that about?


    "You... you win!"


    "You should know."


    Euan passed by the crowd, the men still didn''t dare to look up.


    He grabbed her hand and they left the party, she was so cold that she wanted to grab a nket and


    wrap herself into it immediately, butpared to the coldness she felt on her body, the coldness in


    Euan''s eyes was even worse.


    Why would he show her such an expression? He was the one that was being close to Lydia while the


    Watson family was watching! They had been secretly married for three years, others didn''t know, but


    the Watson family knew.


    He didn''t allow her to keep any dignity at all.


    When she thought about that, Riley didn''t bother about herself freezing and struggled, "Euan, why


    bother? You have pped me in front of everyone, and now you are helping me, what do you mean by


    that? First you p me and then you give me a piece of candy? Do you want me to feel touched?"


    Euan''s dark eyes shed in the darkness of the night, "So you wanna go back and keep embarrassing


    yourself? Do you want to jump another time to prove that you are actually mad? Or do you want to go


    back and be shamed on by your stepmother and sister? Riley, you think you are so smart, so calm, but


    what I have seen today really taught me a lesson!"


    Riley was surprised by his words, it wasn''t about his mocking, it was that Euan was always a friend of


    few words, but today he talked so much with just one breath, his voice was deep like wine, and it


    carried coldness, every words that entered her ears was putting her in a trance.


    "What are you looking at?" His voice was still cold.


    Riley evened her brows, raised her chin and looked at his handsome face, his perfect lines, he was so


    handsome that she would never get enough of him, "Euan, are you schizophrenic?"


    Euan frowned, "What are you telling me?"


    "Ah!"


    She suddenly screamed in a low voice and stopped walking, Euan grabbed her arms, and stood


    straight, "What happened?"


    "My foot."


    When she mentioned her foot, he lowered his head to look, she was bare feet, she was walking on


    stones with her white feet, and because of the pain, her little toes were all spread out, it looked like the


    heads of little puppets that were raised. It looked very cute, her skin was very light, and her feet were


    even whiter.


    She wore size 36 shoes, it was a little out of bncepared to her height, but just by looking at her


    pair of feet, they looked like the ones of a statue.


    This stupid woman!


    Euan impatiently picked her up, her feet were swinging in the air, and she was wrapped in his warm


    hug.


    Their skin touched, and her heard was racing, because of this close gesture, Riley''s ears suddenly


    started burning.


    "What is happening? Why did Mr. George suddenly pick her up? Do they really have such a good


    rtionship?"


    "Euan changes his women faster than Chanel can make new bags, let''s forget about the ones he had


    hugged, even the ones he had slept with are uncountable."


    "But, wasn''t he with Lydia just now? And I heard they were quite stable, and Lydia is even pregnant


    with his child, isn''t he a little over the line doing this now?"


    "You have no idea! Do you think Euan would be with one woman forever? You must be dreaming?


    Even if there were ten Lydia''s, they couldn''t keep him forever. I guess that Riley is his mistress,


    whenever he feels like it, he would take her, get some change."


    "You are right, Lydia and Riley were twopletely different types, what would shepare herself


    with an international star with?"


    The whispering came from the crowd of girls, and the further the two of them went, the louder the


    gossip became, Riley who was in Euan''s arms, was so mad that she was trembling, her eyes filled with


    anger.


    "Euan, this is what you wanted, right?"


    When she asked that, he almost threw her on the ground, "So?"


    He was for real!


    Sheughed, and wrapped her clothes tighter, she got closer to him to keep warm, "Great, you are


    never going to let a single chance to to make me ashamed, this really looks like your, alright then, y


    your games, as soon as you get tired of it, let me know, I will prepare the divorce papers and wait for


    you."


    This stupid woman, did she feel itchy if she didn''t talk about the divorce for a couple of days?


    Elijah drove the ck Bentley to the side of the rode, and when he saw Euan carrying Riley out of the


    building, he opened the back door, Euan slid Riley into the car in a smooth move.


    This slide was so smooth.


    Euan didn''t get on the back seat, he closed the door, "Elijah, collect all the phones at the party, and


    take care of those that were taking pictures!"


    Elijah nodded, Yes, Sir."


    Euan''s clothes were also wet because of Riley, when he dropped her in the car, the wind blew, and he


    felt the coldness.


    This stupid woman, she must feel even colder.


    He knit his brows and didn''t feel good.


    "So, Sir, who is going to drive? I think you had a few drinks..." Ah!


    Shit!


    Euan took out his phone, "Hendrix, listen..."


    Euan passed on themand on to the second son of the George family, and told Hendrix that if he


    couldn''t take care of this situation, he would keep a seat for him at the George family party.


    Hendrix was left to clean up the mess, and Elijah started the car.


    "Turn on the heat."


    "Yes."


    "Higher."


    "It''s already... yes."


    Riley and Euan were on the back seat, when she sat down she made a big puddle, the leather seat


    was all wet, and the water was spreading all over the seat.


    She moved to the side, afraid she might make Euan''s pants wet as well.


    "Sir, where are we going?"


    Euan''s eyes showed disdain, "Where do you stay?"


    Was he going to send her home?


    Riley mentioned the address.


    Euan looked at her sideways, "To that address."


    Elijah replied, "Yes, Sir."


    Was he going to bring her home? It''s been three years, this was the first time, no, this was actually the


    news of the century.


    The two in the back seat were silent and didn''t speak, while Elijah felt that the world was finally getting


    better.


    The ck Bentley pulled up at the mid ss district, and parked, Euan looked at the environment of the


    district, the street lights were dim, the garden was kept simple, and there were barely any outdoor


    entertainment.


    She would rather live here than in his vi, she was cruel to herself!


    "Get off."


    Riley opened the door, and stepped on the street bare feet, but then Euan followed.


    "Why are you getting off?"


    Euan raised his head to look at the building, the smile on his cold thin lips vanished, "Is this how you


    are going to thank me for saving your life?"

 Chapter 56 Let Me Teach You About Fifty Shades of Grey

    Chapter 56 Let Me Teach You About Fifty Shades of Grey


    ¡°Euan, this is my apartment, not your mansion. There¡¯s not as many rooms here.¡±


    Euan hadn¡¯t slept with her even once in the past three years. Her apartment didn¡¯t even have a guest


    room.


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother.¡± He sneered mocking and turned around to Elijah and ordered, ¡°Come and fetch me


    tomorrow with a new set of clothes.¡±


    ¡°Got it, boss!¡±


    Seeing a glimpse of light in the dark, Elijah even gave a different reply from his usual ssic one and


    drove off immediately as if afraid one of them might regret it at any second.


    Euan carried Riley up before she could react. His broad arms and the familiar agave scent were like


    poison to her.


    In the lift, looking at the number approaching 16th floor, she felt her cadence was all messed up while


    there were no changes in Euan¡¯s breath and heartbeat.


    ¡°Euan, I can¡¯t understand what other tricks you¡¯re trying to pull off,¡± she blurted.


    ¡°It¡¯s you who¡¯s trying to y tricks.¡±


    With that remark, both of them fell into silence.


    Euan walked out the lift with long strides when the lift door opened. He stood in front of her unit, ¡°Riley,


    you¡¯re from the Watson family yet you¡¯re staying in this kind of ce. What are you doing?¡±


    ¡°I like to live here!¡±


    ¡°All right, open the door.¡±


    Wait, open the door?


    Her bag and phone were left at the banquet¡­


    Riley gritted her teeth in awkwardness, ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t have the key now.¡±


    Euan¡¯s face fell dim. Riley¡¯s unit was not password-locked and could only be opened with a key. But he


    needed to go in tonight no matter what!


    ¡°Find the agent and get the spare key.¡±


    Riley fell silent again. Last time when the key hole got stuck, she lied to the agent saying she was the


    owner, and he must have found out about it by now. It would be so embarrassing if she went to find him


    again.


    ¡°I¡­ don¡¯t have the spare key!¡±


    Euan put her down and was expressionless out of speechlessness, ¡°Riley Watson, how dare you pull


    trick like this with me. I only give you three minutes.¡±


    Riley bit her lip, ¡°Give me your phone.¡±


    After the call, the agent came.


    Riley didn¡¯t exin things clearly in the phone out of embarrassment, but the moment the agent saw


    the noble-looking man beside her, he put on a courteous smile, ¡°Ms. Watson, is this your husband?


    This is my first time meeting him.¡±


    So much nonsense!


    ¡°Err¡­ I forgot my key. Please open the door for us.¡±


    Riley couldn¡¯t put on a tough attitude this time.


    The agent didn¡¯t expose her and opened the door cooperatively, ¡°You better have a spare key. The two


    of you should at least bring one key with you. The girl who used to live here always forgot her key too!¡±


    My gosh! So much nonsense!


    Euan¡¯s brows furrowed deeply. This shack was even rented?


    But never mind, the owner of this unit was soon going to change.


    Euan got a glimpse of Riley¡¯s private space when he entered the room. The unit was not stale but


    poorly furnished. Luckily Riley was good at decorating, there were delicate decoration in the unit


    everywhere.


    There were lilies blossoming in the vase on the dining table, with two roses in between them. It was an


    ordinary vase of flowers, but Euan sensed a strange yetfortable scent.


    It was a scent that could be called home.


    Dragging on a pair of slippers, Riley walked around in her own territory casually. The tall man who was


    standing in the living room had a strange gaze in his eyes.


    She poured herself a ss of warm water to keep herself warm and said seriously, ¡°Euan, if you¡¯re


    going to stay here tonight, you better be prepared.¡±


    Euan felt like biting her bbering lips to shut her up!


    ¡°I don¡¯t have men¡¯s slipper here.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have men¡¯s pyjamas here.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have men¡¯s hair shampoo, towel and soap here.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have extra toothbrush here.¡±


    Euan¡¯s patience was finally worn off after her fourth I-don¡¯t-have¡¯s. He grabbed her shoulder coldly with


    me burning in his eyes, ¡°Riley Watson, you¡¯re getting yourself in trouble tonight.¡±


    Riley red at him in the eyes, ¡°I won¡¯s have those things even if you choke me to death.¡±


    Euan leaned in and got closer to her face, ¡°But at least you have one thing.¡±


    There was killing intent in his tone and gaze.


    She asked ufortably, ¡°What?¡±


    He pinched her chin tightly while nting the corner of his lips with extreme seduction, ¡°The bed.¡±


    ¡°¡­!! Euan, what¡­ what do you think you¡¯re doing?¡±


    She moved backwards as Euan advanced towards her. Soon she reached her bedroom and had her


    back on the door. She was unwilling topromise, ¡°Not tonight!¡±


    ¡°I can do it every night!¡± Euan grabbed her wrist with his big hands and Riley fell into his arms before


    she could react. She was lifted off the door and fell into his embrace like a puppet. She identally


    kicked off one of her slippers and stepped on Euan¡¯s foot with her bare foot.


    With only 0.01 centimetre distance and a super thin clothe material between them, his breath and


    warmth engulfed her like waves engulfing beaches.


    Her pupils dted as their nose almost touched each other. Arousing vibe was blooming in the air


    around them.


    When Euan reached his huge hand out a moment ago, it just so happenednded on the perfect curve


    of her butt and covered itpletely. The soaked clothe was sticking on her body, giving a translucent


    seduction.


    And in her fluster, Riley grabbed his genitals and yanked it hard as she was afraid she might fall down!


    It was such a peculiar posture but such an arousing action to do!


    They stared into each other¡¯s eyes in dead silence.


    The air froze.


    The next second, the air went turbulent.


    ¡°Achoo!¡±


    In this perfect ambience to do something naughty, Riley huge sneeze ruined everything.


    Moreover, their faces were so close to each other just a moment ago she couldn¡¯t turn away in time


    and sneezed into Euan¡¯s face.


    Euan¡¯s face wentpletely dark and pushed her off in annoyance. His expression was filled with


    despise as if it was a gruesome creature in his arms just a moment ago.


    Riley got up and stroked her itchy nose. She was feeling funny that such thing happened to the


    almighty Euan.


    ¡°Sorry, I might¡¯ve caught a cold.¡±


    Euan put on a grimace, ¡°Screw off.¡±


    Riley was wiping her nose with tissue. At the moment, there was a sneeze she couldn¡¯t get out, and her


    face went red out of it. ¡°Screw where? This is my home.¡±


    Oh? Are you sure?


    One of the corner of Euan¡¯s lips curled up.


    He opened the bedroom door in rage, and his view was filled with crystal purple colour. The bed and


    curtains were in crystal purple, all the furniture were so clean one could almost sense her


    professionalism. The tiny space upying less that twenty square metre seemed decent.


    An obvious but faint cape jasmine scent was lingering in the air. This was the scent she had always


    been carrying, but one couldn¡¯t sense it easily because it was always overshadowed by the sanitizer¡¯s


    smell in the hospital.


    ¡°Bam!¡± Euan entered the room and mmed the door shut.


    ¡°Euan, I want to change my clothes! My clothes are all soaked up. Let me go in and take my clothes!¡±


    Riley knocked on the door. Euan, who was sitting on her single bed, ignored her and was staring at a


    picture of an 18-year-old girl on the bedside cab.


    The young Riley in the picture had lost a tooth and was smiling brightly into the camera. Wearing a pink


    dress, she had a pair of smiley eyes on her chubby face.


    She was cute.


    A hint of smile shed across Euan¡¯s stone cold eyes.


    ¡°Damn you, Euan, open the door. You want to freeze me to death?¡±


    Euan frowned. Things went wrong now she had grown up. She used to look so meek. Now she was


    such a stubborn, thick-faced and capricious chick!


    ¡°ck,¡± he pressed the picture down onto the cab¡¯s top and lifted his feet off the ground.


    What a noisy woman.


    ¡°Quiet.¡±


    He berated coldly. There was a silence for about a dozen seconds. But then Riley continue to knock as


    there was no response from inside the room.


    Was this jerk going to lock her outside the room like this?


    She wanted some clothes right?


    Euan opened her wardrobe. It was not a big wardrobe but it felt almost empty inside. There were only a


    few set of clothes for the season, which was less than what he wore in a week.


    Euan frowned.


    He opened one of the drawers and found a few sets of pyjamas for different seasons. The one on top


    was a pyjamas for the current season, in in colour and style.


    The second drawer was filled with women lingerie neatly folded in rows. Euan frowned and closed the


    drawer shut.


    ¡°Euan, at least give me some clothes!¡±


    Just as she finished shouting, Euan opened the door. Pinching the straps of a pyjamas with his thumb


    and index finger in disgust, he passed the pyjamas to her.


    Riley red at him, ¡°Pervert!¡±


    Snatching the pyjamas, she fled to the washroom, locked the door from the inside, and gasped heavily.


    The man who was leaning by the door was smirking ridiculously.


    This dumb woman was so troublesome!


    Bearing the pain shooting throughout her body, Riley finished the shower while gritting her teeth the


    whole time and put on the pyjamas. Then she realized¡­


    Damn Euan, he only passed her the pyjamas and nothing else!


    Without any lingerie? The hell!


    Yanking the hem of her pyjamas, she acted as if it was nothing and strode out of the washroom, took


    out a set of pillow and nket from the cab,id them down on the sofa, and slept!


    Wrapping herself up tightly with the nket, she was nning to go to sleep like this until the next


    morning.


    In the bedroom, after scrutinizing the whole room, Euan pushed the door open and saw the woman


    lying on the sofa.


    ¡°Get up.¡±


    Riley frowned. She already let him do what he wanted. Now he wouldn¡¯t even let her sleep?


    ¡°You better not y suchme tricks on me. Get up!¡±


    Riley gnarled, ¡°I already let you use the bedroom and sleep on the sofa. What else do you want, Mr.


    George!?¡±


    She got up holding the nket close to avoid revealing her body. Euan scanned her figure with his dark


    gaze, ¡°I said get up, Riley Watson. You want me to take care of your ears since they¡¯re so useless?¡±


    God damn!


    Clenching her fists, Riley stood up holding the nket and uttered, ¡°Childish!¡±


    With one of his hands in the pocket, the huge water mark Riley made on Euan¡¯s clothes could still be


    seen, ¡°Give me the nket.¡±


    Things turned non-childish all of a sudden. How dare she said Euan George¡¯s motive was childish?


    Riley took half a step back, ¡°Euan, you can do what you want at your own mansion, but this is my


    ce¡­¡±


    ¡°I do whatever I want wherever. Give me, I said.¡±


    Fine!


    She yanked off the nket and threw it to Euan, with only the thin silk pyjamas covering her body. Her


    translucent curves were alluring.


    Euan¡¯s dim gaze moved away in displease, ¡°You don¡¯t have anything I can use here?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Answer me!¡±


    Riley nodded, ¡°Correct, I don¡¯t have any. Euan, there¡¯s a hotel down the road on the left hand side out


    the building.¡±


    Hmph!


    Euan didn¡¯t respond and unhurriedly unbuttoned his shirt in front of Riley, ¡°Never mind, I¡¯m okay with


    that.¡±


    What did he mean? Was he going to took off his shirt and do some nasty stuff?


    He undid the button on his shirt one by one, each button was reflecting the dim light in the room. With


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    his hands around the cor, he slowly undid the third button.


    ¡°Wait! I just realized I can go out and buy for you.¡±


    Buy?


    Euan smirked coldly and grimly, ¡°You want me to use the stuff from the convenience store?¡±


    ¡°What else do you think I can do now?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I don¡¯t need those stuff now.¡±


    With that said, he had already taken off his white shirt, revealing his sturdy torso with not a single


    ounce of extra fat¡­


    Riley stopped being flustered and leaned on the sofa. There was nothing to be flustered about at this


    moment. Since a good-looking well-built man was willing to show her his body, why not she just


    enjoyed the show.


    Aside from watching, she remarked, ¡°Carry on, don¡¯t stop. You¡¯re going to be naked in the end


    anyways.¡±


    This woman!


    Euan undid and pulled out the ck Armani belt, then wrapping it around his wrist. He smiled


    ambiguously, which gave off an eerie vibe that made one nervous.


    ¡°You have anything in mind looking at this, Riley?¡± He approached her. His pants were hanging loosely


    on his waist without the belt, showing his sexy V-line abs.


    ¡°What?¡± She vigntly took another half a step back. Euan¡¯s dim gaze was filled with killing intent.


    Forced into the corner by his sturdy figure, her slender body was locked in the tiny space. His put his


    lips near hers, ¡°A woman like you must¡¯ve watched Fifty Shades of Grey.¡±


    Taking a glimpse at the belt in his hand, the ssic scene in the movie promptly shed across Riley¡¯s


    mind. Did he want to do some sadistic things on her?


    No, he¡¯ll torture her to death.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about! Let me go!¡±


    Euan pinched her chin, lifted her head up and stared into her eyes, ¡°You don¡¯t know? Let me guide you


    until you learn it.¡±


    With that said, he flipped the belt in his hand and made a huge snapping sound. Riley¡¯s heart throbbed


    and she struggled hard in his arms.


    ¡°Euan you pervert! Let me go! Let go!¡±


    ¡°Stop acting! You want a man deep down inside! This is what you want! Riley, put away your


    pretentious act and show me how horny you really are!¡±


    ¡°Euan, you damn jerk! I¡¯ll hate you for the rest of my life if you touch me!¡±


    The belt slowly wrapped around her wrist. As if a raged lion, Euan wanted to bite her, rip her apart, and


    eat her!


    ¡°What right do you have to hate me? You¡¯re not worthy.¡±


    Riley twisted her body in his arms, ¡°Euan, is this all you can do when ites to women? Are you even


    a man? How pathetic!¡±


    ¡°This is all I need to deal with you! I¡¯ll show you how this alone is enough for me topletely vanquish


    you!¡±


    Like a raged beast, Euan leaned in and bit Riley¡¯s earlobe, leaving his bite mark on her ear. He wanted


    her to remember, no matter she liked it or not, he owned her.


    Bam!


    Riley raised her hands which were tied together and flung it towards Euan¡¯s face!


    Halting on his actions, Euan frowned. He shot daggers into her eyes, ¡°Riley Watson, you really want to


    die.¡±


    She smiled, ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to die. Be rational, Euan. It¡¯s meaningless for you to take over my body


    when I won¡¯t give you my heart. Are you cool with getting a corpse?¡±


    Euan let her off, ¡°Do you have a heart?¡±


    ¡°Wake up, Euan. It had been three years. I¡¯m not longer the Riley Watson who¡¯ll give you my all just


    because you give me something I want!¡±


    Riley lifted her head unhurriedly with a smile, her voice was light and seductive, ¡°You want my heart?


    Trade it with yours then!¡±

 Chapter 57 Shes As Enchanting As A Poppy

    Chapter 57 She''s As Enchanting As A Poppy


    She sneered wildly and wantonly, looking charming.


    Euan was shocked and angry and had a bit of a headache at the same time. In three years, she had


    not only grown in ability and boldness, but also in thorns.


    Well, Euan would slowly pull the thorns out of her body one by one.


    She had saved herself from undergoing the sufferings of flesh with provocation and sarcasm. And


    Euan had gone into the bedroom wrapped in a nket after taking bath and never said another word to


    her.


    She was practically out of her wits. If she continued to argue with him, she was bound to be unable to


    cope.


    Wasn''t it just sleeping on the sofa? She wasn''t so pretentious.


    But lying on the couch, she was sleepless. Fumbling with the ring she had picked up shamelessly,


    Riley pursed her lips. Of course, she had to keep something so valuable. It would be a great weapon to


    use during their divorce.


    Only, as soon as the word divorce came to mind, Riley''s frown never unfolded.


    Thinking about the cocktails she had bought, she simply got up barefoot, opened the fridge and took


    two of the fancy cocktails out, and took several sips from the bottle.


    Heh.


    As she drank, sheughed to herself. Heart?


    Of course, she had a heart. Her heart was all in him. From the first meeting until just now, every beat of


    her heart had screamed out her attachment to him.


    He was the one who didn''t have a heart!


    Riley wrapped her fingers around the bottle of wine. The red wine stained her lips, making it look as


    enchanting as a poppy.


    ¡®Euan, let''s y a game. I don''t believe I can''t have your heart. Even if we divorce, I''ll take your heart


    with me!¡¯


    It had been three years, no, five years in total, and she had been totally devoted to him, only to receive


    the word "bitch" from him in return.


    So she would let him have his way, let him see how he fell under her skirt as a bitch!


    Putting down the wine, her face was tinted cherry pink from the low level of alcohol. Cuddling up to her


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    pillow, Riley fell into a deep sleep.


    Of course, she wouldn''t know the look on the face of the man who had walked out of the bedroom at


    midnight, stopping by the sofa and seeing the crimson on her face by the moonlight.


    Nor would she know how the nket she had kicked away had returned to her.


    Riley woke up early the next morning, feeling a little light-headed. She had a real cold.


    With her clothes drying on the balcony, she returned to the bathroom to change her clothes and tied


    her hair behind her head with a rubber band.


    She made a simple, light, and delicate home-made breakfast. It was a nutritious and appetizing


    Chinese meal, consisting of freshly ground soy milk and yellow fried eggs. She set the breakfast on the


    table with grace and elegance.


    There were boxes of toothbrushes in the trash that had been thrown away. It looked like he''d found a


    spare toothbrush from homest night. The corners of Riley''s mouth curled as she took a sip of the soy


    milk.


    Euan was a human being, no matter how good he was. He must have the basic needs of life.


    Shedding all his pride, didn''t he still get sick and feel hungry?


    ¡®Just be arrogant, don''t eat for a while if you can!¡¯


    After breakfast, Riley grabbed the spare key and went out.


    When Euan got up, there was no longer Riley in the house, only the smell of breakfast filling the small


    living room.


    Euan''s brow furrowed at this sight.


    Did she just go away after leaving breakfast?


    "Elijah,e here now."


    Where the hell did Riley get the nerve to challenge his authority!


    When she arrived at the hospital, Riley had changed into a brand new white coat and was walking


    briskly down the corridor with her heels clicking. It was as if the events of thest few days had not left


    a mark on her face. She was Dr. Watson again, aloof and unapproachable.


    "Dr. Watson."


    She had just finished her rounds and was exchanging treatment options for a patient with her assistant


    when William came out of the lift and called out to her.


    Riley smiled at him of course, "Mr. Hardesty, can I help you?"


    The assistant and several other doctors greeted William. He nodded symbolically, but his eyes


    remained on Riley, "Mary''s surgery was sessful. Do you want to go see her?"


    "Really?"


    Riley could not hide her joy, and watery eyes glowed with a faint light.


    "Really, the patient is out of danger before I came to see you. Come on, let''s go see her together."


    William''s invitation was so course, and although there was an indescribable intimacy, onlookers could


    not see the slightest hint of ambiguity between the two. They just envied Riley for getting on so quickly


    with Mr. Hardesty.


    Inside the intensive care unit.


    Mary was lying quietly. Her husband and mother stood by, thanking William and Riley again and again.


    The image of Riley, trampled into the mud, rose.


    But -


    Riley asked in a low voice, "Mr. Hardesty, did you ... really promise the family and save the adult?"


    Because Mary''s big belly was gone, and it was t under the covers. Her heart ached. That was a


    forming child!


    Seeing her nervous look all of a sudden, William smiled, and the cleft in his chin showed slowly. He


    smiled so warmly, "I promised you that I would save them both. How could I go back on my word?"


    "Where is the ... child?"


    "Come with me."


    A few minutester, Riley saw the tiny baby in the incubator. Just seven months old, the baby seemed


    to be able to be picked up with one hand. He was so small that one''s heart melted at the sight of him.


    Riley moved closer to the incubator and looked at the tiny creature inside with fascination. His little


    hand wiggled gently as if he was still lying in his mummy''s tummy, and his tiny pink fist clenched. That


    tiny, pink little baby was like a spring of water flowing through Riley''s parched heart, touching the


    softest tip of her heart.


    The baby ... this magical little creature was the baby.


    Riley couldn''t help but press her hand against the ss and wrap the baby''s fingers through it, "Baby,


    how are you?"


    William, who was tall and warm, stood behind her. He smiled abruptly as he sensed her strong


    affection for the baby, "He''s fine, but he was born prematurely and will be here for half a month. You''ll


    be able to hold him in half a month."


    "How amazing! Have you ever noticed how amazing life really is! From being so small and slowly


    growing into a man! It''s really amazing."


    There was a love for the child in her eyes and brows. She loved children and wished so much that she


    had a child of her own! She and Euan''s child.


    Why was she thinking of him again!


    Riley''s love for her child infected William, "You love children. You''ll be a good mother in the future."


    "If I had a child of my own, I would love her." Riley couldn''t take her eyes off the baby, as if he had


    be her own.


    "I love children too. Having children of my own and watching them grow up day by day is the greatest


    happiness a parent can have. I''ve always longed for such a day."


    Riley nodded her head obliviously, "Me too."


    After saying that, she snapped back to her senses. Riley immediately adjusted herself to hide her


    embarrassment, "I still have something to do. I have to go."


    Riley frowned. How could she be so unprepared to show her true feelings in front of William?


    She couldn''t be falling for him, could she?


    No, no, no! This was ridiculous!


    She walked out quickly on long legs. Without waiting for the man behind her to speak, her slim white


    figure had already disappeared out the door.


    William couldn''t help himself and giggled at the empty door. ¡®Riley, you''re so cute! What am I going to


    do?¡¯


    Riley returned to the office to find Serena and Margot and Teddy all looking at her. All three of them had


    the wrong look on their faces, so she wondered, "What''s wrong?"


    Serena pointed inside to where her office was located. With his back to her, a man sat in the chair. He


    was tall and thin, very young, dressed in casual clothes and with tangled hair. He wasn''t sitting


    properly, either, and his legs were swaying.


    "Why are you here again?"


    Noted the word again.


    Hendrix turned the chair to face Riley. He hooked his fingers in the keychain and twirled it around. With


    his eyes narrowed, he grinned, "Dr. Watson, it''s been a long time. I''ve been sick again."


    The key in his hand was hers.


    So, he had all her things.


    "Say, what''s bothering you this time?" Riley drew a pen from his pocket, ready to take notes, "Heart,


    liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, small intestine, brain and blood vessels. Would you like me to give you


    a full-body check-up?"


    Hendrix, "... Dr. Watson, do you have to be so mean?"


    Riley threw away the pen and paper and whispered, "Give me the stuff and you can go."


    Hendrix stroke his eyebrow in displeasure, "I workedte into the nightst night to deal with the


    aftermath for you and my brother, and I came over to deliver your stuff in person. Shouldn''t you have


    given something to me?"


    Riley put her hands back in her pockets and frowned, thenughed, "I give you my sympathy."


    "You ... you are intolerable."


    "That''s fine. I''m not trying to talk to you either. Give me the stuff. And what do you think the


    consequences will be if your brother finds out you''vee to the hospital to look for me over and over


    again?"


    Hendrix wailed inside and the anger he was holding back nearly broke his handsome face, "You''re so


    unlovely when you''re being ungrateful. Sister-inw, you''re so strong, no wonder my brother is


    obsessed with Lydia."


    The three people next to them stared in disbelief as they watched the two muttering. Hendrix''s more


    and more courageous approach to courtship was really respectable.


    Riley snatched the keys out of his hand, "Where''s my phone?"


    Hendrix looked around the office at the doctors waiting to watch the fun and smiled cheekily, "Sister-in-


    outside? "


    Damn you, Hendrix!


    "Put the stuff on the table, Mr. George, I''ll only give you a minute. Don''t push my limits. "


    Hendrix suddenly covered his stomach and yelped, "Dr. Watson, I think I''ve been poisoned. I''ve eaten


    a poisoned apple by mistake."


    Riley gritted her teeth, "Dr. Rose! Take him to a gastricvage and enema. The patient has food


    poisoning!"


    Hendrix, "!!!"


    sting Hendrix away, Riley picked up her phone to find that Sarah had sent her dozens of voice


    messages and had been asking about what had happened at the partyst night.


    "Great or not? Was it awesome?"


    "Great, awesome. A ss A from appearance and physique, from stature to skill."


    Sarah eximed, "Next time something good happens, bring me along! Mwah! So how are you getting


    on?"


    Riley rubbed her eyebrows and replied, "I failed."


    "Crap! So, you failed again?"


    "The spirit of the pursuit of sess would always remain, and we have a long day ahead of us. But


    Sarah, your ne actually looks exactly like Lydia''s."


    "... Damn it!"


    Riley put her phone down and noticed that there was someone else in the office. The woman was tall


    and slim, and the disinfectant couldn''t hide the smell of Givenchy perfume on her. It was none other


    than Jeanne.


    It couldn''t be good that she was here.


    As it turned out, Jeanne hade for her.


    "Dr. Watson, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands."


    "On the contrary, I''m very busy."


    Jeanne''s red lips curled. "Well, I don''t care what you''re busy with, put your work down for now. There''s


    an assignment that you''re going to work with right away?"


    "What''s the assignment?"


    "The AIDS Vige Medical Aid Team is short of a cardiologist. Our ace specialist, Dr. Watson, of


    course, is the first choice!"


    Oh, God!


    Jeanne had assigned Riley to volunteer in an AIDS vige? That kind of ce ... To put it nicely, she


    was there to be an angel in white, but who didn''t know how much risk was involved in treating them


    and what if ...


    Serena and Margot were afraid to speak. Teddy tried to say, "Ms. Pouchain, Dr. Watson is the


    backbone of our internal medicine department. It''s not right for her to go, is it?"


    "What? You want to go?"


    Riley smiled faintly, "Since Ms. Pouchain trusts me so much, I''ll be obliged to do so. When am I


    leaving?"


    "Since you''re obliged to do so, then get ready. You¡¯ll leave at three in the afternoon!"


    Serena couldn''t help but squeal, "It''s almost twelve o''clock now!"

 Chapter 58 Dr. Watson Is Definitely Not Pretentious

    Chapter 58 Dr. Watson Is Definitely Not Pretentious


    After getting off the ne, Riley and the patients from several other departments of the hospital got on


    a bus while carrying medical supplies. The bus drove though bumpy roads for a couple of hours, and it


    was already nine o''clock at night when they reached the town.


    When they got off the bus, Riley and the fellow doctors were dumbfounded.


    ¡°What kind of ce is this?¡±


    ¡°It looks like the ce Mao Zedong had been through when he fought in the gueri warfare!¡±


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    The dirt road underneath their feet were rugged and uneven, the junction outside of the town only had


    two dim streetmps. The saffron-colored lights were only able to light up a small, round area on the


    ground. Those poor lights had not been taken care of for a long time.


    ¡°Damn, how can anyone live here? Is this ce not yet liberated?"


    ¡°Did I travel through time? Will we see a ghost in the vigeter?¡±


    ¡°There are no ghosts here, but if we failed toplete our mission, we might be the ones who will


    be the ghosts.¡±


    ¡°Ah! Are you bored of living! You scared me to death!¡±


    Between the seven to eight doctors, there were only three women, the other two majored in respiratory


    and gastroenterology, they were all neers with shallow qualifications. It was obvious that they


    were sent here to be sidelined.


    The group of people were shivering in fear as they walked to the amodation prepared by the


    hospital in advance. There was only a two-story building in this town, an incandescentmp was


    hanging by the door of the building, the power of the light bulb was only about fifteen watts. The wind


    also kept blowing, and it looked like themp will fall at any moment.


    When they arrived at the door of the building, the vige chief quickly came out to wee them while


    inviting them warmly toe in and rest. The middle-aged man wore an old Chinese tunic suit, and a


    hole burned by a cigarette could be seen on his sleeve through the light of themp.


    The poverty here was quite evident.


    ¡°I''ve been preparing to wee you all for a long time, and you all are finally here! Come on in, dinner


    is ready.¡±


    Although the vige chief was very passionate, several people still kept a respectful distance between


    them. The people in this vige, who dared to have contact with them!


    The eight people entered the door, and indeed, sixrge yellow big bowls filled with different dishes


    was ced on the living room¡¯s table. Seeing those dishes and indoor furnishings, the female doctors


    just moved their sight to the other side, they did not want to open their mouths as they were scared that


    they will vomit. They also could not stand to look at it a second time.


    Riley¡¯s reaction was not that dramatic, but as she just had a bumpy ride, her stomach and intestines


    were not feeling that well, and it caused her to have no appetite.


    Several doctors said in unison, ¡°We have already eaten.¡±


    The vige chief was a little embarrassed, ¡°This... dishes have been prepared.¡±


    Considering their concerns, the vige chief waved his hand and gave a straightforward exnation,


    ¡°You all don¡¯t have to worry, these ingredients were specially bought from outside of the vige for you,


    the vige people never even seen it before. The dishes were made by me alone, and I... I don¡¯t have


    any illness.¡±


    The fellow viger exined again, but still no one dared to eat the dishes. They rather starved than to


    risk their lives.


    After Riley bit her lips and smiled at the vige chief, she also followed the others to the second floor.


    When she was at the corners of the stairs, Riley looked down and saw the vige chief sigh while


    looking at the dishes.


    Her heart had some mixed feelings.


    The so-called lounge, was just a room with two wooden beds lied inside and the bedding was new. The


    two doctors started whimpering and crying once they entered the lounge, ¡°I want to go home, what kind


    of lousy ce is this.¡±


    ¡°I''m afraid, I''m afraid of getting sick. If we got sick here, we can''t be cured, boohoo!¡±


    Riley tugged the quilt, ¡°You guys are doctors, don¡¯t you have anymon sense? What are you afraid


    of? Let¡¯s just sleep first as we will be busy tomorrow.¡±


    The two doctors looked at Riley as if she was a monster, ¡°You ... are actually not afraid?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the use of being afraid? It is better to save some energy and rest. Try to get everything done by


    tomorrow and go back early.¡±


    That night, as Riley was lying in bed, she looked at the moonlight out the window of this three-


    dimensional world. She cursed in her heart, ¡°Damn it, this life is really worthwhile.¡±


    At this time, JD City.


    The bustling streets were decorated with neon lights which were bright like a sea of stars, everyone


    here were indulging in a life of luxury.


    William came out of the operating room at 9:30 p.m., as he rubbed his sore shoulders, he also looked


    at the lights outside the window.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, did the surgery go well?¡±


    Jeanne had already changed into her casual clothes. She wore a skirt which only covered to her knees.


    She also wore a simple yet pretty bolero jacket. With some light makeup and long hair, she looked


    gentle and noble.


    ¡°It went well.¡±


    ¡°Since Mr. Hardesty has been in the operating room for so long, you should be hungry, right? I''ve just


    finished working too, why don''t we eat together.¡±


    William took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can, ¡°Some other time, it¡¯s already quitete.¡±


    Jeanne smiled warmly, her red lips were tinged with softness, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, we can have the meal on


    another day, but how can we change the date of one¡¯s birthday?¡±


    William knitted his handsome eyebrows, ¡°Today¡¯s your birthday?¡±


    ¡°Dear Mr. Hardesty, your intelligence and energy has been upied by the patients. Today, is your


    birthday. So, birthday boy, I''m treating you to dinner, and you can¡¯t refuse it.¡±


    ¡°Oh? It''s just a birthday, it doesn''t really matter.¡±


    ¡°Your birthday onlyes once a year, how can it not matter, let''s go! Just use today to pamper


    yourself.¡±


    Jeanne graciously held William¡¯s arm and walked forward, thetter did not move and pulled out his


    hand by acting as if he was finding his phone.


    The two of them were sitting at the window of an elegant western restaurant. Jeanne kept trying to get


    William¡¯s attention. She tried changing several topics, but he was still not interested.


    ¡°By the way, does Mr. Hardesty know that the ce that our hospital has volunteered to give


    assistance this time to was at a vige which was infested by AIDS, a total of eight doctors went there.¡±


    William had heard of this decision, but he was too busy preparing for the surgery to ask in detail, ¡°This


    is a good thing, it''s great for the hospital to do more good deeds."


    As Jeanne¡¯s slender fingers held her knife and fork, she said carelessly, ¡°I also think it''s great, the


    doctors who went there were quite outstanding. Heh, I didn''t expect the best doctor from our cardiology


    department also went with them.¡±


    William¡¯s hand was hanging in the air without any more movement, ¡°Who are you talking about?¡±


    Jeanne¡¯s red lips tilted slightly, ¡°Our hospital''s big shot, Riley Watson, Dr. Watson.¡±


    Why did she go?


    ¡°I still have something to do, I''ll have to leave first. Ms. Pouchain, just take your time and enjoy your


    dinner.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, you...¡±


    William hurriedly finished his meal and perfunctorily sent off Jeanne. That kind of ce, although he


    knew someone had to go, he did not her to be one of them!


    There were a lot of things needed to be done near the end of the month, Euan was busy in the


    everywhere. Elijah was frowning, ¡®Is it already thiste?¡¯ he thought to himself.


    Since his boss was still working, Elijah also did not dare to leave. He was so sleepy that he kept


    yawning, so he opened his phone and watched a few funny videos to keep himself awake


    However, a click on the Weibo¡¯s treading topics in their city, Elijah¡¯s finger stopped moving, ¡°JD Central


    Hospital did a good deed again, eight doctors have been dispatched to form a medical team which had


    arrived at the vige infected with AIDS.¡±


    His finger continued scrolling down, it contained the eight doctors'' ID photos. Thest photo was Riley¡¯s


    one.


    Elijah opened his mouth and almost dislocated it. The famous Madam of the first son from the George


    family, the precious daughter from the Watson family, actually followed the medical team to that kind of


    ce!


    If the boss knew this, the hospital will be blown up!


    When Elijah looked up and saw Euan was putting on his jacket, he smiled cautiously, ¡°Boss, are you


    going home?¡±


    Euan looked at him coldly, ¡°What do you think!¡±


    Elijah immediately talked nonsense with a serious look on his face, ¡°Didn¡¯t you go to your wife¡¯s ce


    yesterday?¡±


    Typical, he was looking for death.


    However, Euan was not in the mood to lecture him and said wearily, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the Grand Pce


    Hotel.¡±


    Elijah waited for him to go out, while peeking at his cold eyes, ¡°Boss, many things had happened at the


    JD Central Hospital these days. Today, the hospital was actually in the news again.¡±


    Euan was expressionless. Although Euan did not stop Elijah from talking, he was not happy about it


    either.


    As the elevator was quickly descending, Elijah was smiling, ¡°I just saw the news, the JD Central


    Hospital had sent eight doctors to the vige infected with AIDS, this... is very dangerous.¡±


    Euan looked at Elijah with a cold expression, ¡°Elijah, you have a lot of nonsense to say today.¡±


    ¡°... Then I''ll get straight to the point, this,e take a look ...¡±


    Elijah handed the phone to Euan with both hands, and Euan impatiently took over the phone¡­


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    Riley just had to involve herself in everything, she really was not going to stop until she was dead. She


    even involved herself in such matter, what a stupid woman! He thought.


    ¡°Snap!¡±


    Euan, who was now angry, flung his arms. The ck cell phone was thrown and smashed in the


    elevator. At the same time, the elevator door opened, and Euan walked out with big steps, leaving


    Elijah in behind.


    Elijah looked at his phone on the ground which had been shattered into pieces by his boss, tears could


    be seen in the corners of his eyes. How can he be so pathetic?


    The next day, the sound of chickens clucking in the middle of nowhere woke them up.


    Riley lifted the nket, ¡°Shit¡­¡±


    Last night, she only felt that this ce was cold and creepy. However, today she realized that this


    vige, not only was it deserted, but it was also surrounded by mountains, closing them off in all


    directions. This ce was simply a small isted vige.


    There were many mountains around them, as if they were linking the ground with the sky with their


    bright green colors, like the pulse of a strong man, symbolizing the power of life. However, once she


    turned around, she could only see a deserted vige, it looked pitiful.


    ¡°The countryside is not bad, the air is fresh, why don¡¯t you all take a breath?¡± Riley stretched her body.


    The two women beside her looked like a pair of chickens who had been defeated, listlessly pounding


    their back and massaging their legs.


    They were already facing problems after sleeping on wooden bed for one night?


    ¡°Dr Watson, now¡¯s not the time to be joking, no one has the mood to view the scenery right now.¡±


    None of the other doctor¡¯s expression looked well, they felt depressed and terrified.


    These feeling deepened when they saw what was for breakfast.


    On the wooden table, same asst night, there were six big bowl which were filled with different dishes,


    and eight bowls of white rice were ced next to them.


    The vige chief smiled nervously, ¡°Doctors, this town does not have much to offer, we just have some


    simple food, you may eat it if you want to.¡±


    One of the female doctors timidly took two steps back, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m trying to lose weight and I¡¯m not hungry."


    The male doctors were already hungry sincest night, they really did not want to eat it, but their


    stomach could not handle it anymore. So, they could only swallow their saliva while looking at the


    dishes.


    Should they eat? Or should they not?


    In that instance, everyone looked at Riley.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, are you hungry?¡±


    Riley was speechless.


    She had been tormented for almost an entire day; she would just be lying if she said she was not


    hungry.


    These dishes, they had to eat it. Even as a respectful act towards this straightforward and honest


    vige chief, they still have to eat it


    After biting her lips, Riley picked up the rice and ate the food, ¡°Don¡¯t you guys want to eat?¡±


    After the five male doctors saw happened, they all sat down with her. They picked up the rice bowl and


    started eating quickly. The dishes were great! They ate the food with pleasure.


    Riley held a chopstick full of stir-fried pork with beans, ¡°Beautifuldies, you guys really don¡¯t want to


    eat?¡±


    The two people had vowed to not follow them, ¡°We... really are not hungry. Heh.¡±


    Somehow, seeing them, Riley suddenly thought of one word, pretentious.


    As human beings, we really cannot be pretentious, being pretentious is the most disgusting behavior.


    The vige chief finally was about to rx, ¡°You guys don''t worry, the food is really safe, it''s just that... I


    am not very good at cooking, the food that I¡¯ve fried doesn''t taste that good.¡±


    Riley ate happily, bite after bite. ¡°You cook very well, you can open a restaurant in the future, we will


    alsoe to support you!¡±


    The five male doctors almost split out their food. Come here again? They were definitely noting


    here again!


    Before they finished eating their breakfast, a seven to eight-year-old child stumbled, entered the door


    and fell to the ground, climbed up and continued to run, ¡°Mister, my mother, she... she fainted again!¡±


    Riley put aside her chopsticks and stood up, ¡°What happened to your mother? Quickly bring us there


    with you!¡±

 Chapter 59 You Made Many People Worried

    Chapter 59 You Made Many People Worried


    The patient who was only about thirty-five years old looked thin and dispirited like a standing corpse as


    he had been infected with AIDS for many years.


    This was the first time she hade into a close contact with an AIDS patient.


    Putting on the gloves, Riley Watson opened the patient¡¯s eyelids and listened to the patient¡¯s heartbeat.


    The doctors drew back in shock when they saw such a condition made by Riley.


    ¡°What are you still waiting for? Bring over the medical kit as the patient¡¯s breathing is weak and his


    heart is beating slowly. Perhaps the patient¡¯s condition worsened suddenly which led to severe


    headache that caused syncope. Give the patient an infusion of 300 mL of zidovudine.¡±


    The young doctor shivered, ¡°I¡­ I dare not!¡±


    Even a few male doctors stayed away and originally a medical team of eight, only Riley treated the


    patient seriously.


    Riley then became furious, staring at the other seven people angrily, ¡°Listen, since you all are here,


    make a good job! There are only three ways of transmission of the virus, as long as safety protocols


    are taken, nothing will happen. Make the decision by yourself. If we don¡¯t check all the patients today,


    we will have to continue tomorrow!¡±


    Knowing that they might have to continue tomorrow, the male doctor immediately sobered up, ¡°Alright, I


    will prepare the intravenous drip right now!¡±


    Riley found a blood vessel on the back of the patient¡¯s withered hand and stuck in a needle, slowly, the


    liquid was injected into the patient¡¯s body.


    A little boy looked at Riley in panic, ¡°Miss¡­is my mum going to die? The aunt next door died yesterday.


    Is my mum¡­going to die too?¡±


    The little boy¡¯s face and hands were full of mud and his hands seemed to have not been washed clean


    for many days. Yet, there was a stench of sweat smell, but his innocent eyes made others dare not to


    have any prejudice.


    Looking at his eyes, Riley said, ¡°No, your mum will wake upter, where is your father?¡±


    The little boy headed down, ¡°My father¡­diedst year. My mum said she will die too and the same


    goes for me¡­¡±


    His soft voice made Riley feel sad and tears glittered under her eyes.


    ¡°Little boy, don¡¯t be afraid, actually¡­¡±


    The little boy lifted his crying face, ¡°Miss, I know this disease can¡¯t be cured. You don¡¯t have to lie to


    me.¡±


    Knowing that she might have revealed, she then changed her words, ¡°I won¡¯t lie to you, you are a smart


    child. What I want to say is that all of us will die, sooner orter, and I will die too. However, you and


    your father will meet in another ce after death. Hence, there is nothing to be afraid of.¡±


    The little boy rubbed his nose, ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yes! I won¡¯t lie to you!¡±


    The little boy said timidly, ¡°Let¡¯s make a pinky promise.¡±


    Riley was stunned as her white finger hooked his ck hand and she smiled gently, ¡°Sure!¡±


    A few doctors at the back looked at each other and muttered in a low voice, ¡°Is Dr. Watson crazy? This


    kid is also¡­sick.¡±


    ¡°But, don¡¯t you guys think that Dr. Watson¡¯s gentle look is beautiful?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know what is going on now? Don¡¯t make yourself into trouble!¡±


    A male doctor took the initiative to carry the medicine box for Riley, ¡°I don¡¯t expect that the legend


    among the physicians is like this!¡±


    Riley chuckled, ¡°What should I be like?¡±


    The male doctor then smiled unnaturally, ¡°Anyway, it is not the same as what I heard.¡±


    After leaving the little boy beside his mother, a few doctors went to the temporary consultation shed


    where there was a long queue outside as there were forty to fifty patients in this vige!


    The oldest was just over forty years old and the youngest was still a baby.


    Each of the doctors started their work seriously.


    Riley was in charge of aprehensive checking to see if any of them had heart-rted diseases.


    Fortunately, although these people were weak, their hearts did not have serious diseases. Otherwise


    there was really nothing to hope for.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, this female patient broke her leg one year ago and she has not been treated with any


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    bone treatment. Now her condition is bing worse, and she must have surgery now in order to


    make the bones heal again.¡±


    Surgery for this group of people was a big challenge for doctors as any slight mistake will¡­


    Both the orthopedists and Riley turned silent, ¡°Is there any other way? Isn¡¯t in vitro correction


    effective?¡±


    One of the male doctors shook his head, ¡°No way, the bones are severely misaligned and forcing the


    correction will break the bones.¡±


    The patient who was a girl in her twentiesughed at herself when she heard the doctor¡¯s words, ¡°I


    know what you all are afraid of, the operation will involve bleeding and you all are afraid of being


    infected by me! What are you doing here if you all fear of being infected! Get out! Get out of here!¡±


    The female patient who limped on one leg yelled at the doctors.


    A female doctor who couldn¡¯t bear with it anymore immediately stood up and argued,¡± You''ve got the


    disease due to your own misbehaviour, and we''vee to see you with good intentions but you''re


    scolding us! This is what you deserve!¡±


    ¡°What did you say, bastard! Say it again if you have the guts! I don''t have any more time to live, so I''d


    like to take someone with me before I die!¡±


    The female doctor was so frightened that she rushed to hide behind the male doctor and howled with


    fear on the spot when the patient was about to yank her.


    Riley tried tofort the patient, ¡°Don''t worry, we will definitely find a way to cure your leg. Let''s


    discuss the treatment before deciding. Is that okay?¡±


    The female patient then sneered, ¡°Hypocritical! You all are hypocrites! You all are just here to get the


    news to report on you and praise you! Stop pretending!¡±


    Riley was annoyed, ¡°Miss, we don¡¯t have time to y with you. There are still many queuing patients,


    please give the way first.¡±


    ¡°ck-hearted scum! I want to kill you all! I want to kill you all!¡±


    Before the female patient calmed, a coarse and hoarse man''s voice suddenly came from the back of


    the queue where a man in his early forties with a kitchen knife in his hand was roaring as he was


    running frantically this way!


    Shocked by the situation, Riley shouted, ¡°What are you doing!!¡±


    The man swung his knife and was about to sh!


    ¡°I want to kill you all, bastard! Bastard! You all scam money and kill people! I want to kill you all!¡±


    Holy shit!


    The vige secretary rushed over immediately and shouted, ¡°Drew Hardy, put the knife down! Put it


    down! These doctors havee from the city to treat you all! What are you doing? Put it down!¡±


    Red eyes embedded in his dark face, the man stared at those stunned doctors angrily, ¡°Listen! I sold


    my blood once at the hospital in order to cure my child and I got this disease! My wife and child died!


    All were dead!¡±


    Riley dumbfounded as she knew the truth.


    ¡°Sir, there is a certain risk in selling blood, but that doesn''t make it the doctor''s fault. The virus can lurk


    in a person''s body for up to twenty years, or it could be...¡±


    ¡°Bitch! You don¡¯t know anything! Everything is caused by you guys who are doctors! You guys are the


    culprit! I¡¯m going to kill you all to get revenge for my wife and child!¡±


    ¡°Calm down!¡±


    The knife was shed down! Riley¡¯s left arm can¡¯t dodge in a hurry and the de cut directly into her


    flesh!


    Riley could not see the wound, but from the mark of the knife on her clothes, she could see that her


    arm was more than half ruined.


    ¡°Dr. Watson! Dr. Watson!¡±


    The cowering doctor behind her hurriedly ran up and covered her arm, ¡°Dr. Watson, hold on, I¡¯m going


    to stop the bleeding right now!¡±


    Riley¡¯s eyebrows knitted together in pain, ¡°Hiss---¡±


    The knife in Drew Hardy¡¯s hand fell to the ground and he was panicked, ¡°I¡­I¡­¡±


    ¡°Drew Hardy, if there is anything wrong with Dr. Watson¡¯s arm, you must pay with your life!¡±


    The vige secretary was scared too as these were all the renowned doctors from JD City! They


    couldn''t afford to pay for the mishap!


    The female doctor wiped her tears as she cleaned the blood from Riley, ¡°s! Dr. Watson¡­¡±


    Riley frowned, ¡°I''m not dead yet? What are you crying for?¡±


    The crowd was in a dead silence where no one dared to utter a word. Meanwhile, the man who just


    chopped Riley¡¯s hand knelt on the ground, yet his mouth stammering, ¡°I¡­I¡­ I don¡¯t know¡­¡±


    Riley was in pain, ¡°How? Want another chop?¡±


    ¡°No! No!¡±


    ¡°Then, get up.¡±


    The man froze, ¡°I¡­¡±


    The doctor on the side scolded, ¡°Get up when I tell you to! Hurry up! Get out!¡±


    The male doctor''s gloves were stained with Riley¡¯s blood and he turned even nervous, ¡°Dr. Watson, it is


    chopped into the artery and the blood¡­can¡¯t be stopped, what should I do?¡±


    Riley went speechless.


    Damn it! She almost forgot that they were only new to the hospital who were less experienced. They


    would only ask their mentor what to do when they encountered an emergency.


    Oh fuck!


    ¡°Calm down and stop the bleeding first. Tell me what is artery and what is aorta?¡±


    ¡°No¡­¡±


    ¡°Then what are you afraid of! Stop the bleeding first, put the anaesthesia and stitch up the wound!¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, I¡­ I dared not¡­¡±


    ¡®Damn it! I want to kill them! How dare theye to treat the patients like this!¡¯


    ¡°Riley!¡±


    A clear voice rang out suddenly in the mess and it was William Hardesty who was running over here.


    Riley¡¯s lips were pale and dry as she sat on the chair, arge part of her body already stained with


    blood.


    ¡°What happened?!!¡±


    Kneeling down, William gazed at her and he felt his heart was pierced through forcefully by a sharp


    knife.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, Dr. Watson¡¯s artery of her left arm was just cut and he is injured now¡­¡±


    ¡°Get out!¡±


    William, who was always elegant, scolded the clumsy male doctor away in anger and he vigorously


    pressed on her wound, ¡°Tear it!¡± Tearing the white coat along the wound, there was a patch of blood on


    her white arm!


    ¡°Don''t be afraid, it''s ateral artery cut, just bear with it. Bear with it.¡±


    ¡°What are you still waiting for?! Anaesthetics please!¡±


    ¡°Alright¡­¡±


    Sweating with anxiety, the stupid emergency response of several doctors even made him angrier,


    ¡°Haemostatic needle please, faster!¡±


    ¡°Suture needle please! Hurry up!¡±


    The arm was anesthetized and the pain slowly turned into numbness. Riley who was settled on the


    stretcher lifted her head, looking at William¡¯s sweaty face, ¡°Mr Hardesty, I¡¯m not going to die this time!¡±


    ¡°Don''t talk, save your strength, you''ll be fine soon.¡±


    ¡°This small injury is nothing to Mr Hardesty, why are you so nervous?¡±


    ¡°Because of you! Understand?¡±


    Kneeling on the ground, William stitched up the wound slowly. If it wasn''t his strong technical


    experience supporting him, he would have messed up too.


    ¡°I¡­ah¡­¡±


    Her pale lips smiled like a white camellia flower and she looked at the blue sky.


    How many surprises were there in life?


    William stitched up her wound and wrapped ayer of gauze around it, ¡°Riley, do you know that you


    make many people worry of you?¡±

    Chapter 60 Come by Air


    His face was turned against the light, and the sweat on his clean face was dropping down. Riley looked


    away so she didn''t have to see. "It is no wonder that he is the vice president of the hospital, he is really


    good at handling those wounds. There is a patient with fractured bone, please take a look at him, the


    orthopedic doctor said that he would need surgery."


    William gave Riley an infusion to reduce inmmation and relieve pain and promote wound healing. He


    took off his coat and put it on her. Her white coat could no longer to be worn, even her white shirt inside


    was stained with blood.


    After he had appeased her, he turned back and looked at the seven doctors, all of them were drooping,


    no one dared to even breath loudly.


    The fire in William''s eyes swished on them, and he wanted to choke them to death. Fortunately, Riley


    was fine now. If anything happened to her, William couldn''t guarantee what he might do.


    "You guys, be prepared for the extension of your internship."


    All of them were afraid to speak, but nodded .


    The girl with the leg injury was helped to sit down. William put on his gloves and touched her leg. "How


    did you get hurt?"


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    The girl stared at William''s profile in a daze. For the first time in her life, she saw such a good-looking


    man.


    William frowned, picked up a mask and put it on, "I asked you, how did you fall? Did you bump into


    anything when you got injured?"


    Riley, who was lying on the stretcher, couldn''t help smiling when she saw William wearing a mask.


    The girl finally came back to her senses, "I rolled down when I went up the mountain, I think I hit a


    rock."


    William turned his head and looked at the young doctor who had just said that he had to perform the


    surgery. He regained his patience that disappeared when he got angry, but his tone was still cold.¡¯Take


    a look,how will you deal with it when you guys have this situation in the future.¡¯


    The two doctors held the girl''s arms to keep her bnced. William squatted on the ground and held her


    legs with both hands. "You should be thankful that you haven''t grownst one year."


    The girl was puzzled. The doctor beside her understood but did not dare to speak.


    Riley understood, knowing that he had a solution, her heart calmed down slowly. She turned her head


    to see William. He was always so fascinating when he was serious about treating and saving people.


    Suddenly, she was a little worried. If she watched William save people too much, would she be drawn


    to him?


    "Ahh!!!"


    The girl suddenly screamed, and the two doctors who supported her were thrown off by the force of her


    huge struggle.


    William held her legs, "If you want to walk again, bear it now, don''t move."


    The girl gritted her teeth in pain, "You are so handsome, why are you so cruel!"


    William took the splint and said, "How can I help you fix the bone if I am not cruel? Now the bones have


    been reset, try not to let this leg bear any more weight in the next two months. Also, the congestion


    inside should be absorbed slowly, apply hotpress twice a day."


    After speaking, William handed the patient to the young doctor, "Help her with the splint."


    After William had treated the female patient, the vigers in the line all looked up, "Doctor, will you


    check us?"


    William looked at Riley. He was here for her. "There are seven doctors here, and they will check


    everyone."


    After that, he walked to Riley''s side, her face was a little red, which was not a normal color, he reached


    out his hand and touched her forehead, then touched his own, "Why are you so hot?"


    "Am I? I don''t feel it though?"


    William was speechless for a moment, "Don''t you know that you have a fever?"


    Riley reached out her uninjured hand and touched it. "A little, it''s okay, I didn''t even notice."


    William was really so angry because of Riley''s temper. He took out his stethoscope and listened to


    Riley''s breathing. He frowned, "You have a cold, and the burden on the respiratory tract is increasing.


    You are a doctor, it''s impossible that you don''t know."


    Well?


    It''s no wonder that she spent so long in the swimming pool and slept on the sofa all night, before she


    could prescribe any medicine for herself, she was distributed to the mountainous area.


    "It''s just a small issue. It''s not worth mentioningpared to my arms." Riley gave William an irritating


    smile.


    That smile was polite enough.


    Enough to make William angry.


    "Don''tugh at me like that, Doctor Watson. I know you rejected me, so you don''t need to emphasize it


    anymore." William brought up a medicine box, took out the anti-fever medicine from it, and added it into


    the infusion tube.


    Riley, "...uh."


    He knew what she was thinking.


    William packed the medicine box and asked casually, "Does he know?"


    Riley looked sideways and looked at his drooping eyes. Only after seeing that she noticed that


    William''s eyshes were very long and dense. She had to admit that he was very handsome, not like


    the ostentatious beauty of Euan, but introverted and gentle. He looked good without edges and


    corners.


    "He? My husband? He probably doesn''t know."


    The rtionship between the two of them was not close enough to report to each other on a business


    trip, even though... it seemed that there was a time when Euan told her about the business trip in


    advance, but that was because they lived together.


    Where she went, what she was doing, who she was with, it seemed that it had nothing to do with Euan,


    and she couldn''t affect him.


    He... probably didn''t care.


    William closed the medicine box, his eyebrows were suddenly raised, he looked down at Riley, whose


    face was slowly recovering, "It seems that I still have a good chance of winning."


    He said this so naturally and warmly. Although he was more intimate, he was not casual, especially


    when he looked at her with his sincere and affectionate eyes, it was as if she was the only one left in


    the world.


    Riley looked away ufortably, "Mr. Hardesty, on this topic, I don¡¯t think we need to repeat anything


    again. Thank you for being so kind to me, and thank you foring here to save me, but, the other


    thing, I think we shouldn''t talk about it anymore."


    William was not embarrassed by her repeated refusal, he pushed on the switch of the infusion set,


    making the medicine drip a little slower.


    "You are so timid, you don''t even want to mention it. You are so careful, afraid of hurting me. What else


    should I be worried about? Okay, let''s not talk about it, you should lie down, I will go and see the other


    patients."


    The patients there were almost dealt with. The long-term blood diseases couldn''t be cured, other


    diseases were not enough to be threats. For them, death was just a matter of time. Why were they still


    afraid of catching a cold or fever?


    Riley struggled to sit up, William hurriedly stepped forward to support her, he leaned her in his arms,


    and said before she could break free, "You are just my patient now, as doctors, there is no difference


    between men and women, so you can pretend my shoulders as a human wall to lean on."


    Riley pursed her lips. She had a severe fever and felt thirsty right now. "Is my attending doctor also


    responsible for pouring me some tea?"


    William nodded, "Of course, I can also be responsible for feeding you."


    She was embarrassed, "That is no need, I just want to drink some water."


    "Great."


    William held her with one hand and poured water in a paper cup with the other hand. The water was


    steaming. William leaned closer and blew on it, not feeling that it was hot, and raised the paper cup to


    her lips, "Drink, patient No. 1 who survived the catastrophe. "


    Riley felt that this kind of gesture was really embarrassing, but one of her hands was injured and the


    other hand still had a needle, so she had to bow her head obediently.


    At this moment, there was a roar from the sky.


    "Boom! Boom!"


    All the people were shocked by the loud sound and they looked up, a gray helicopter hovered in the


    sky, seeming to be looking for a ce tond.


    Riley stopped, surprised, "Did the hospital send a helicopter for supporting?"


    William looked up, and shook his head after careful examination, "This is not a hospital helicopter.


    There is a red cross on the hospital aircraft. This one does not. Maybe it is just passing."


    "Oh... there are still helicoptersing to such a ce?"


    when everyone was making various guesses, the helicopter began tond at a steady speed.


    Euan was sitting in the passenger seat, holding binocrs in his hand, he squinted his eyes, and


    spread an aura of powerful hostility!


    Riley really does not change!


    She was actually lying in the arms of another man!


    This man was William from JD Central Hospital!


    The pilot said, "Mr. George, we are preparing tond soon, please sit firmly and pay attention to be


    safety."


    Euan''s eyes were filled with fire and fixed on Riley, who was lying weakly in William''s arms on the


    ground, and did not hear the Pilot''s prompt at all.


    The roar of the propeller continued, Euan said coldly, "Get closer."


    The pilot felt a little awkward as he observed the terrain, "... I try my best."


    "Don''t try your best, just do it!"


    The helicopter was at the corner of a t ground less than 200 meters away, and the wind from the


    propeller swept arge amount of fallen leaves.


    The wind direction was reversed.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes were straight, staring at the big object with wide mouth opened . Many people,


    including Riley, saw a helicopter for the first time. This was not a conventional military helicopter, but a


    civilian one. In other words, it could be called a small private jet.


    "Wow! Airne! Airne!"


    "The ne! What a big ne! I saw the ne! Mom! The ne!"


    When several children saw this big thing, they jumped in excitement, pulling at the adult''s clothes,


    wanting to take a closer look.


    The irondder of the helicopter was let down, and a man in a flight suit stepped down thedder step


    by step. He stood beside the ne far away, inspiring as if he were a god.


    The invible aura of majesty swishes from him!


    Riley''s pupils dted suddenly!


    "Euan?!"


    The man who looked like a god of war was actually Euan!


    William also recognized Euan, and his eyebrows knitted again. His hands subconsciously hugged Riley


    tighter in his arms.


    From 200 hundred meters away, the man rushed towards Riley like the wind, his powerful legs were


    like the iron legs of war horses, wherever he went, he was killing everything.


    Riley looked at Euan who had the light in his back, and squeezed her fist slightly.


    She even forgot that she was still leaning against William''s arms, staring at him with big eyes.


    There was only one question left in her head, why did hee here? What was he doing here? What


    was he going to do with her?


    After a while, the man stood in front of her with long legs, and his ck eyes staring at her. After


    looking at her for a few seconds, he sternly said, "Let go of her."


    William frowned fiercely. "She is injured. I am her doctor in charge. I must be responsible for the


    patient."


    Euan''s thin lips curled slightly, and the murderous intent rising from the bottom of his eyes broke


    through the thin air between the two, "That was before I came, now, let go."


    William sped Riley''s shoulders and whispered worriedly, "How are you? Are you all right?"


    Euan possessed himself, no longer looking at William, he spread his arms, and said coldly, "Come


    here."

 Chapter 61 Flying in the Sky with Him

    Chapter 61 Flying in the Sky with Him


    Sandwiched between them, Riley seemed to stand on the edge of the cliff. If she took a step forward,


    she would face the coldness and cruelty of Euan. If she took a step back¡­


    Then, would William be killed directly by Euan?


    So, after several seconds of thinking, Riley decided to choose Euan. William was a gentle doctor who


    could carry a scalpel. But who was Euan? He was a man with a dagger. No, he was a man who could


    hold a machine gun.


    If she provoked him, her fate would be miserable.


    Euan nced at another man¡¯s coat on her. Riley understood, took off the coat and wanted to return it


    to William. But before William got the coat, Euan grabbed Riley¡¯s wrist and the coat fell to the ground.


    Riley red at Euan and whispered in his ear, "What are you doing?"


    Euan bent over, "You think?" His face was so handsome and delicate as if it had been made by god.


    As he approached, she smelled a clear scent of tequ from his body. Riley looked at him with watery


    eyes. The ovepping mountains behind them and the blue sky and white clouds in the distance


    seemed to have changed.


    Instead of picking up the clothes, William stepped forward and said, "Mr. George, Dr. Watson was cut


    by a knife on the back of her hand. Now what she needed most is to have a rest. What are you doing?"


    Euan and William look at each other. Euan hummed coldly, "Rest? I really don¡¯t know how she is going


    to rest here."


    At this time, William was still a standard doctor, and he was responsible for the patient, "Dr. Watson has


    an artery injury in her arm. So, she can¡¯t rush about and she had better lie down and rest. When her


    injury is better, she can leave. I know you worry about her, but I also worry about her as a doctor."


    Euan understood the real meaning of his words, and then said, "You are William Hardesty? There are a


    lot of patients waiting for you to take care of. And I¡¯ll take care of Riley."


    William was still worried and whispered, "Riley, take care of yourself. You should also pay more


    attention to daily life these days."


    "William Hardesty," Euan yelled out William¡¯s name with displeasure, which was an obvious warning,


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "She¡¯s a doctor, and you don¡¯t need to waste words."


    Riley nodded to William, letting William not argue with Euan. It didn¡¯t do him any good.


    Although Riley¡¯s behavior was kind just now, it still slightly hurt William¡¯s self-esteem as a man.


    In fact, William had the ability to protect her and was qualified to stand in the same position with Euan


    to pursue her. However, Riley didn¡¯t know these.


    However,pared with this, it was a fatal blow to William that Riley looked at Euan with a trace of


    delight in her eyes at this moment.


    And a few doctors behind them were shocked!


    People in the vige didn¡¯t know Euan. They mistakenly think that they were rescue workers sent by


    the hospital or the government, but these doctors knew the real identity of Euan!


    Standing in front of them was Mr. George, who had a romantic rtionship with Lydia, the most popr


    film and television queen today. Also, he was the president of MBK!


    OMG!


    Why was Euan here? Mr. Hardesty was obviously arguing for Riley just now. What was the situation?


    Several young doctors looked at each other, confused, surprised and dumbfounded!


    But, they did not have the guts to go to gossip. They just took the medical instruments in hand,


    standing still.


    Instead of rushing to take Riley away, Euan looked at her coldly and said, "Who hurt you?"


    He just heard from William that she was cut by a knife, and he had to figure it out.


    Hearing this, Riley felt terrible. Euan had a bad temper. If he knew who hurt her, he might kill that man.


    Several doctors and patients looked at Euan together, and all of them felt nervous. Euan¡¯s eyes were


    terrible. It seemed that he wanted to kill someone.


    Riley raised her face and squeezed out a smile, "Everyone may make mistakes at times. Doctors may


    cut themselves sometimes, and I am no exception."


    Euan sneered scornfully, and then looked at William. Although Euan didn¡¯t want to talk to William and


    see him now, he had to make it clear.


    Euan could throw sand into others¡¯ eyes, but he couldn¡¯t stand sand in his own eyes, "What


    happened?"


    William knew that Riley was defending that man, so he said, "Dr. Watson was not careful just now..."


    "Well. You lie to me together? In that case, I will ruin the vige until the murdereres forward."


    Then, Euan raised his hand in the direction of the helicopter. His posture was very casual and


    disdainful. It was easy for him to destroy a vige, and he didn¡¯t even care that he might be punished if


    he killed someone.


    For Euan, it didn¡¯t exist that he would be killed after he killed others.


    The vige secretary was flustered when he saw the scene. He ran with trembling legs and knelt down


    to Euan. He realized that Euan was not a simple person and he would not give up easily.


    "Mr. George, I hurt Dr. Watson by ident. You can take revenge on me, but please let the others go!"


    Seeing the vige secretary kneel down and kowtow to Euan, Riley bent over to bite off the infusion set


    with her teeth, pulled out the needle. Then the blood flowed from the wound of the needle mark, wetting


    her white skin.


    William rushed forward to stop the bleeding, but Riley waved and said, "No."


    "Mr. George, it¡¯s not him who hurt me. It¡¯s my business and I don¡¯t want to know who should be held


    ountable for this. So, you have no right to interfere."


    Euan looked at her coldly, "I have no right? Do you need me to show you?"


    Euan pointed at the man holding the gun, and the man raised the gun.


    "Mr. George!" Riley gritted her teeth. Who did Euanpete with? Why was he so angry? Who was he


    mad at?


    "The person you want to take away is me. I¡¯ll go with you. Let them stay here and let your men put


    down their guns. It¡¯s just a small thing. You don¡¯t have to make a fuss¡­"


    Euan looked down at the woman whose lips were pale on the stretcher and thought about her words.


    What did she just say? A small thing? She was badly cut, and this was just a small thing?!


    Did she really want to let others kill her?


    Since she was not afraid of death, why should he worry about her? Damn, who was he so angry for!?


    "He cut you with a real knife, and I shot him with a real gun. That¡¯s fair." With that, Euan pinched her


    chin with his big hand, with a trace of coldness shing through his eyes, "If you dare to plead again, I¡¯ll


    kill them all!"


    "It¡¯s me. It¡¯s me who cut her. You¡­ You can kill me."


    The man just came back.


    "Fuck!" Riley cursed in her heart! Was he foolish?


    That man was "brave" now, which made Riley speechless. Just now, he cut people like a madman.


    Now he suddenly became a hero to save the vigers.


    That man stood at the front of the crowd, clenching his fists. He was so brave and selfless¡­


    Speechless!


    "Kill me! Anyway, I can¡¯t be cured. If I die, I can go to heaven to see my wife and child. You can kill me."


    Euan didn¡¯t even bother to give him an expression. A red light came out from a gun and that man¡¯s


    forehead was also aimed at by the gun.


    The man was aimed at by the gun, his leg weakening, and he fell to the ground, and his trousers got


    wet.


    "Riley, do you think I should help him?"


    She was in a panic, "Euan, you will be killed if you kill them. Are you crazy?"


    "Do you want to see if I will be killed?" Euan never had any expression, and his tone was always cold.


    Riley took a deep breath, grabbed Euan¡¯s sleeve with her hand, and said in a low voice that only the


    two people could hear, "What do you want to do?"


    Euan¡¯s expression finally changed. He sneered, whose smile was more terrifying than Azrael and more


    enchanting than Satan, "Riley, you finally understand. I want you to stay by my side. If you leave me


    half a step, you will have a tragic consequence."


    Rileyughed, "Mr. George, since you want a zombie by your side, I¡¯ll help you. You let them go, and I¡¯ll


    go with you."


    Euan¡¯s expression gradually softened, "Well! You¡¯re not too stupid!"


    Euan waved to let the sniper retreat, and the red light disappeared from that man¡¯s forehead.


    Riley closed her eyes and gritted her teeth angrily, "Euan, are you a devil? You are a devil!"


    Euan bent over, held Riley in his arms, and put his chin against Riley¡¯s head, "Now you have to follow


    the devil, and I¡¯ll let you see what hell is like and let you broaden your horizons."


    The overbearing Euan held up the injured Riley and walked to the helicopter gate step by step in the


    eyes of surprise, worship and panic.


    The huge roar once again rang through a few hundred meters around the ce. Riley was carried into


    the cabin by Euan and ced on arge double sofa in the cabin, which was very spacious. She was


    very slim, so when she was lying on the sofa, she seemed to be lying on a single bed. The leather sofa


    was of good quality, after lying down, she felt that her back became much morefortable.


    "Let¡¯s go."


    Euan gave the order, and the pilot nodded and started the helicopter.


    The helicopter rose slowly and left the ground soon. The figures and houses on the ground became


    smaller and smaller, and finally became small ck spots.


    But¡ª


    When Riley looked out of the window, she was amazed by the magnificent mountains in front of her!


    It was the first time that she saw the tall and endless mountains. The color of dark green was endless,


    as if the whole world was under her feet.


    The helicopter crossed the gorge. The two waterfalls had huge silver water and made big ssh on the


    rocks. A spring of clear water like jade iid between the rocks, very spectacr and beautiful.


    "So beautiful..."


    Her hand on the window, she couldn¡¯t help but praise. The scenery was really beautiful and


    magnificent.


    There was a rare expression on Euan¡¯s face, but she couldn¡¯t see it now. He looked out of the window


    at the scenery, which was the same as what she saw, so were they traveling together?


    Riley thought that Euan must not be passing by here. He came here because of her. Was Euan


    concerned about her?


    Suddenly, Riley felt guilty and regretful, so she looked at Euan¡¯s cool face and said, "Thank you."


    Euan sneered, "You want to kill me, don''t you?"


    "¡­¡­" Riley told the truth, but he didn¡¯t believe it.


    The helicopter had been flying for hours. Fearing that the wound on Riley¡¯s arm would worsen, Euan


    stopped the helicopter in the nearby city and took her to the hospital to dress her wound.


    Riley was lying in the hospital. At this moment, she suddenly admired herself a little. How to describe


    it?


    She suddenly had the greatness and tragedy of a war doctor.


    Euan sat on the sofa in the ward, frowning impatiently, "Riley, did you want him to cut you to death?"


    What?


    Riley chuckled, with slightly curved eyebrows, and said, "No, it¡¯s boring to be cut to death at one time.


    It¡¯s better to keep people¡¯s life and toss people slowly."


    Euan said faintly, "Since you think this is very interesting, I¡¯ll cut your good leader and let you two share


    hardships, OK?"

 Chapter 62 Obedient

    Chapter 62 Obedient


    Riley¡¯s palm was gently clenched into a fist under the nket, ¡°Euan, I had said that we are just


    colleagues, he is just my leader.¡±


    A tint of cold aura was shown on Euan''s face, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it seems that it has nothing to do with


    you no matter how I treat him.¡±


    He would do what he had said. He would do something cruel if he wanted to do it to William, ¡°Leave


    him alone. I¡¯vee back as you wished. Shouldn¡¯t you let him go since you have achieved your


    goal?¡±


    Thinking of her cuddled in William¡¯s arms, Euan wanted him to be gone forever!


    ¡°Huh!¡± He hummed coldly to show his disdain and anger.


    Since retreating was not the way, then maybe she should change her way to deal with it, ¡°If you want to


    do it, then do it. You don¡¯t have to threaten me with this anymore.¡±


    Euan hated that Riley could easily make him angry with such a simple and careless attitude.


    A monotonous ringtone rang from the phone, breaking the awkward atmosphere between them. Only


    Euan still used such old fashioned mobile phone ringtone.


    Euan frowned. He took his phone and went to the balcony in the ward. Then he answered.


    He was holding the mobile phone with some strength with his long fingers. From Riley¡¯s angle of view,


    she could see the handsome side view of his face and heard his piercing cold voice.


    ¡°Speak.¡±


    Riley trembled when he said that.


    ¡°What about the Watsons?¡±


    Watsons? Was the Watsons he mentioned just now her family?


    Riley tried to pay more attention to listen clearly, but Euan moved to the edge of the balcony and pulled


    up the ss door with his long arm.


    The voices werepletely cut off by the transparent ss door.


    Euan did not move a bit. Even his gesture of holding the phone did not change. The fingers on his


    other hand were tapping on the balcony fence rhythmically.


    Riley felt suspicious. Euan mentioned the Watson family. Had anything happened to the Watson


    family? Was it about their business? Or was it about other matters?


    The Watson¡¯s business condition had been bad. Freya and Lauren had directly asked for money, not


    just once or twice. Was there a greater problem now?


    After cracking her head about the matter for some time, Euan was back after finishing the call.


    Riley pretended that she did not hear anything, and Euan did not mention anything either, ¡°We¡¯ll rest


    here today and go back to JD city tomorrow.¡±


    Those were thest words that Euan had said to her in the next two hours because Euan had left after


    that and a female nurse was guarding in the ward.


    Both of them stared at each other. Riley could just take out her phone and scroll it.


    When she tapped and opened her WeChat, Riley sent a crying emoji to Sarah.


    ¡°My dear, you are online atst! Why can¡¯t I get through when I call you? I saw that you were sent to


    the AIDS vige by the hospital. Damn, have your superior in the hospital lost his mind!¡±


    Well¡­


    From the words, Riley could imagine Sarah¡¯s exaggerating and fierce gestures when she said that.


    ¡°It might be because there¡¯s no signal in the mountain vige. I¡¯m now in some other ce, and I¡¯ll be


    back to JD city tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Great! That is good news! It¡¯s good that you have left that ce! My God, I was scared to death!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s another bad news. I was unfortunately injured while performing a treatment. I¡¯m lying in the


    hospital now, needing some care. Remember to bring me some chicken bone soup and turtle soup that


    your mom made.¡±


    ¡°Fuck! Where are you now? I¡¯ll go and meet you now. Is your injury serious? Is anyone apanying


    you?¡±


    Riley chuckled, ¡°Yes¡­but¡­¡±


    ¡°But what? What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Euan¡­¡±


    That end of the call was silent for some time, and Sarah was obviously calmer and not as exaggerating


    as before. She was obedient again, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll bring you the soupter. You should rest. Take care.¡±


    Thatss! She definitely couldn¡¯t be her backup in critical moments.


    What was more unfortunate was that the call from the George¡¯s mansion came in about an hourter!


    Seeing that the call was from the George¡¯s mansion, Riley almost threw her phone away. The call from


    the mansion would be either from Anika or Jakub. Both of them were people who she did not dare to


    provoke.


    After calming down and taking a few deep breaths, she answered the call, ¡°Hello¡­¡±


    Riley grasped on the nket nervously as she quietly waited for the person from the other side to


    speak. Finally, a voice came in after she waited for a while.


    ¡°It¡¯s me.¡±


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    Jakub¡¯s firm voice was heard. Riley almost fell off the bed. She used all her might to hold the phone


    still. Her palm was drenched with sweat.


    ¡°Dad¡­Is there anything you want to talk to me about?¡±


    Riley lowered her voice subconsciously. That was the first time she received a phone call from her


    father-inw since she and Euan got married. The nervousness and pressure that she was


    experiencing at that moment were obvious.


    At that moment, Jakub was in the study in the George¡¯s mansion. The stratagem and profundity that he


    had umted from his business life all these years could be seen in his unpredictable eyes.


    Hendrix was like a kid standing in front of his work desk made from Phoebe Zhennan wood.


    There was not just a difference in age between Hendrix and Jakub.


    ¡°Did Hendrix do anything recently?¡±


    Huh?


    Jakub called her just to speak about Hendrix? Riley was in a dilemma. Should she tell Jakub as


    Hendrix¡¯s sister-inw?


    Thinking about it, she felt that she should not tell him. If what Hendrix had done was known by Jakub,


    he would be beaten even if Jakub loved him most.


    Riley said with a gentle chuckle, ¡°Dad, Hendrix had just returned to this country. We had not met


    frequently. I¡¯m not very sure about his life.¡±


    Hendrix, who was standing at a corner was silently thanking his sister-inw. ¡®Riley, you¡¯re the best


    sister-inw!¡¯


    Hendrix took a deep breath. He felt like he had escaped death.


    However, Jakub was not someone who would easily be deceived, ¡°You are the eldest daughter-inw


    of the George¡¯s family. You¡¯ll be managing the whole George family in the future. Hiding and tolerating


    the mistakes are not good for you or anyone in our George¡¯s family.¡±


    ¡°Dad¡­I know what you mean, but ¡­I¡¯m not sure about what happened. Why don¡¯t you ask Hendrix


    personally?¡±


    Breathe, breathe, breathe. Rx.


    Jakub looked at Hendrix. His stare was fierce, and he continued asking, ¡°Tell me the truth, don¡¯t make


    me repeat the question!¡±


    Riley clenched on her teeth, so did Hendrix.


    Confrontation, silence, and the tense atmosphere surrounded them.


    Riley was in a tensed condition. Would Hendrix be beaten to death if she told him?


    Hendrix¡¯s act could be taken as a misdeed to her, his sister-inw.


    Damn, these really made her upset.


    ¡°Dad, I was not calm enough and caused what happened at the party. It had nothing to do with Riley.¡±


    ¡°Did I ask you to speak?¡±


    Riley was dumbfounded. The father and son were undergoing a confrontation, and he was asking her


    to be the third party? It was the way the George family deal with things.


    So, it was about the party¡­


    It seemed that the Old Master of the George family had known about the matter. Of course, there were


    many people present that day, and the business circle was so small that news spread fast.


    ¡°Dad, I identally fell into the swimming pool that day. Hendrix was just trying to save me. Don¡¯t be


    angry or me him.¡±


    ¡°I am teaching my son a lesson. You are not qualified to give me advice.¡±


    The word made Riley feel embarrassed. Yes, who was she to give him advice?


    ¡°It seems that it was Hendrix¡¯s fault. Okay.¡±


    Just as Jakub was putting down the phone after he finished his words, the word he was saying to


    Hendrix was heard. He was cruel and resolute as if he was not a father but an enemy.


    ¡°Kneel!¡±


    That shocked Riley, and she dropped the phone she was holding. It fell to the ground from the bed with


    a bang.


    What would Jakub do to Hendrix? Would he kill him, punish him or shoot him?


    Just as Riley was thinking about the way that the boss of a gang would treat his men who had betrayed


    him, a tall figure stood in front of her bed. She stared at her phone, it stopped beside the ck shining


    shoes. She looked up and saw Euan¡¯s cold face.


    ¡°Are you a ghost? Don¡¯t you sound when you walk? It¡¯s scary!¡±


    ¡°It is because you are guilty.¡±


    Knowing that it was useless speaking to him since Riley¡¯s drip was empty, so she wanted to get down


    and pick up her phone. Unexpectedly, Euan kicked her phone to a two-meter distance away with just a


    light kick.


    Riley was annoyed!


    ¡°Euan, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you throwing your anger on a phone? Pick it up!¡±


    She might be too bold, asking Euan to pick up the phone for her. The moment she finished her


    sentence, she bit on her lips. Shit, she must have lost her mind.


    Euan sat on the sofa. He did not exin why he left suddenly just now. He just nced at his Patek


    Philippe watch on his wrist and said, ¡°We¡¯ll leave in an hour and go back to JD city tonight.¡±


    Riley was speechless.


    The n was always changing, and he always nned ording to his mood and time.


    ¡°Whatever!¡±


    Rileyid down, annoyed. She was injured both on her body and soul. She was even frightened. She


    just felt like throwing her anger on someone.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me? He¡¯ll leave in an hour.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not deaf. I hear you.¡±


    ¡°Get up then, if you hear me.¡±


    Riley was speechless again. Didn¡¯t he just say they would leave in an hour?


    Riley was dragged up by Euan and was carried away directly by him too, of course.


    Naturally, after taking her away, the phone was sent over by the nurse.


    Riley didn¡¯t expect that they would have dinner before departing¡­


    Sitting on the dining table face to face with Euan, Riley held onto her chopstick and ate slowly as she


    Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    silently nced at Euan.


    Euan was eating the food and drinking the soup elegantly. He seemed to be eating slowly and was not


    in rush.


    ¡°Euan, why are we going back so suddenly? What happened?¡±


    Riley was feeling uneasy. Euan had mentioned the Watson family in his call, and Jakub had asked


    what Hendrix had done. It was all like a prelude before a disaster.


    Unexpectedly, Euan brushed Riley off coldly, ¡°Do not talk while eating.¡±


    It was all bullshit about not speaking while eating. He used to force her to answer his questions and


    taught her lessons on the dining table, which made her speechless!


    Ah! Why did she have to always think about all of that?


    After dinner, Euan picked her up and took her to the helicopter. The helicopter took them to JD city


    along with her worries and doubts.


    They arrived at JD city at about eight at night. Riley thought Euan would send her to the hospital, but


    unexpectedly the ck Rolls Royce went directly to the YJ vi.


    Riley sighed silently. She was back again!


    Euan was definitely someone who did things instead of saying. He carried her to the bedroom on the


    second floor and ordered her toy down.


    ¡°Do you think I have a better choice other than lying down?¡±


    Euan ignored her. After a while, Dr. Rose, the private doctor of the George¡¯s family came and carefully


    examined Riley. Dr. Rose was a general practitioner in a well-known general hospital in the United


    States. She was expertise in both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine and had excellent


    medical skills.


    ¡°How is her condition?¡±


    Dr. Rose nodded, ¡°The injury on her arm needs a good rest, but¡­ there¡¯s something that I don¡¯t know if


    I should say.¡±


    Riley and Euan frowned. Euan nced at Riley then said, ¡°Please say.¡±


    ¡°No! Dr. Rose, I¡¯m also a doctor. Everyone has some small problem with their body. I¡¯ll pay attention to


    it in the future! Dr. Rose, thank you very much. It¡¯s veryte now. I¡¯ll ask the driver to send you home.¡±


    Euan red at her coldly and continued asking, ¡°Say it. Tell the truth.¡±


    What was she trying to hide? He, Euan must know about it!

 Chapter 63 Even A Thorny Rose Full Of Poison Could Look Lovely

    Chapter 63 Even A Thorny Rose Full Of Poison Could Look Lovely


    Due to Euan¡¯s pressure, Dr. Rose had no choice but topromise.


    Riley closed her eyes. She knew that she would get to know, sooner orter.


    Dr. Rose shook her head regretfully, ¡°Riley¡¯s right hand has been severely traumatized and it¡¯s tendons


    hand veins have been injured. I¡¯m afraid that it cannot recover fully. Moreover, I checked the meridian


    of the palm of her right hand, this injury is at least five years old.¡±


    ¡®Five years?¡¯


    Euan looked down at Riley. She had closed her eyes; he didn¡¯t know what she was trying to hide or


    avoid. However, as he looked at her, she quickly became the Riley he knew.


    Full of thorns.


    ¡°Dr. Rose, you are really an expert. You could tell just by seeing. Yes, five years ago I did have an


    ident and injured my right hand. After that, I could no longer hold a scalpel and I had to switch from


    surgery to internal medicine. But now, my hand is alright; as long as the surgery is not long, I can do it.¡±


    She spoke bluntly, avoiding the cause of the injury and sweeping over the matter.


    Dr. Rose didn¡¯t ask her the details; she nodded and said, ¡°Take good care and rest. Mr. George, I will


    go back first.¡±


    After she left, Euan looked at Riley and her hand, pondering, ¡°How many secrets are there that I don¡¯t


    know about you?¡±


    Riley shrugged indifferently, ¡°If it¡¯s a secret, of course others can¡¯t know about it. Can you say that you


    have no secrets?¡±


    Euan grabbed her right hand and looked at it carefully, but there was no trace of any injury on the


    surface. What kind of injury did it have to be able to get detected five yearster?


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to know my secrets, but you can¡¯t hide anything from me!¡±


    He turned into the same old domineering Euan again, but she was immune to him now.


    ¡°Okay, fine, Euan. You can trap my people and trap me in this luxurious vi for a lifetime, but you still


    can¡¯t trap my heart. I told you, if you want my heart, you can only exchange it for your heart. You want


    to know my secret? Then trade your secret for it!¡±


    She smiled lightly and closed her eyes, ¡°I am tired and sleepy.¡±


    Euan frowned as he looked at the delicate little woman lying on the bed. There were indeed many


    secrets surrounding her body and she was trying very hard to hide something from him.


    What was it? If she wasn¡¯t telling him, then it wasn¡¯t a problem, he was going to investigate it


    personally.


    The next day, Riley woke up and found that she was lying on the big bed in the vi. She adjusted


    herself a little ufortably. Recently, she had been shifting between different beds and her brain¡¯s


    switching mode had almost failed.


    ¡°Youngdy, you are awake!¡±


    Being suddenly called like that, Riley came out of the sleepiness in a second. She turned to look at the


    door and saw that a middle-aged woman in the George family¡¯s servant uniform was standing there,


    smiling respectfully.


    Riley knew this servant. She had seen her twice before in the George¡¯s mansion and she was probably


    one of the kitchen staff.


    ¡°Jodie, Howe you are here?¡±


    ¡°Master Euan asked me toe back to take care of you. Sophia and Lh are also here. If you need


    anything done, please tell us.¡±


    Riley frowned at the amount of people. Ordinarily, the vi was cold and empty, simr to an


    abandoned house; right now, there were three people extra, and the liveliness was a little


    ufortable for her.


    ¡°I¡¯m okay. I don¡¯t need to be served. Go and see what Euan needs.¡±


    Jodie still stood there, ¡°Master Euan has ordered me to serve you first. Breakfast is ready. Would you


    like to eat in your bedroom ore downstairs?¡±


    Euan was seriously there!


    ¡°I¡¯lle downstairs. Can you squeeze out the toothpaste for me?¡±


    It was a bit inconvenient to squeeze out the toothpaste with just one hand, but she was also not


    hurriedly, ¡°Okay, youngdy.¡±


    It was weird. The servant¡¯s attitude towards Riley was so nice, it was a bit bizarre!


    After washing up, Riley went downstairs and saw that the table was fully set with a rich breakfast. It


    waspletely different from the simple and light breakfast that she usually made for herself. The


    George family¡¯s servants prepared a proper and sumptuous breakfast like they always did, so that the


    two can have a full meal.


    Euan was sitting at the table and reading a financial newspaper. When he saw Riley approaching, he


    said coldly, ¡°How arrogant! Everyone has been waiting for you.¡±


    Everyone? Where? Wasn¡¯t he the only one on the table?


    Riley sat down ignoring his sarcasm, ¡°Next time you should eat by yourself. Don¡¯t wait for me, I can¡¯t


    take responsibility for wasting your time.¡±


    Euan frowned, putting the newspaper aside. Her words were still so ferocious.


    ¡°See? This is a real breakfast!¡±


    Riley nodded, ¡°I can see it, my eyesight is not that bad. How can I not see so many tes?¡±


    The servant arranged dinner tes and cutlery in front of them and then stepped aside.


    Euan began to eat slowly, ¡°You have no self-knowledge. Think about the breakfast that you make every


    day; do you not feel even a bit shameful?¡±


    Riley knew what he meant but she didn¡¯t care. She began to eat and sipped the soup, ¡°Of course,


    otherwise I would have been a cook not a doctor.¡±


    When she was bickering, she actually looked a bit lovely to Euan.


    Lovely? Even a thorny rose full of poison could look lovely.


    The two ate while bickering. Riley caught a glimpse of the newspaper beside him and suddenly


    changed the subject, ¡°Let me see your newspaper.¡±


    Euan raised his eyes and stared at her, ¡°You specialized in surgery, you can¡¯t understand it.¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth, ¡°I can understand. You just wish I didn¡¯t!¡±


    Euan snorted, ¡°Okay, if you want to read it but don¡¯t regret after reading it.¡±


    Regret what?


    Euan handed the newspaper to Riley across therge dining table. Their natural and smooth hand


    motions were just like an old married couple. Realizing this, both of them were in a daze suddenly.


    Euan looked away from his slender hand and lowered his gaze to cover the embarrassment he had just


    showed.


    His dark eyes seemed to be focused on the food intently, but in reality, he had been observing Riley to


    see her reaction. He didn¡¯t know how she was going to react when she saw the news.


    Sure enough, she struggled to read something about the stock market or something but then she


    flipped the paper over and her gaze froze!


    Watson Group?


    Reading carefully line by line, her eyes widened. The Watson Group had another scandal.


    That moron, Freya, actually had the finance staff make fake ounts. The Audit Bureau found out and


    not only charged them with taxes but also pressed criminal charges. At the time of publication if this


    article, Freya and Lauren were already undergoing investigation. The situation was very serious and


    they were likely to go to jail.


    Damn it! Would they die if they did not cause trouble for a day?


    Riley clenched the newspaper in her hands tightly, her small face was covered in ayer of angry frost.


    Thepany made fake ounts. Not only the people involved had to bear full responsibility, but the


    terrible.


    Riley secretly looked at Euan. He was eating and he had no reaction. He had known about this since


    long ago and he had known it when he had called.


    Putting down the newspaper, Riley didn¡¯t beat about the bush, ¡°What do you think about the Watson


    Group¡¯s scandal?¡±


    She waited for his response anxiously. Euan was an expert in management and finance. He basically


    had the final word. She clenched her hands into fists and looked at him anxiously.


    He drank the soup leisurely, looking indifferent as if he didn¡¯t care about it at all, ¡°Judging from the


    amount involved in the Watson Group¡¯s fake ounts, your sister and stepmother are going to get at


    least three months of jail time and thepany will not be allowed to make any financial exchanges


    during the investigation period. That is to say, the group will be out of business.¡±


    That serious?


    ¡°Is there any way to¡­ help thepany?¡±


    She looked at Euan with her eyes full of fire, wishing she could climb across the table and grab his arm


    and shake it vigorously.


    Euan ced the small soup bowl down and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, ¡°This


    situation involves a mistake of principle, and most people can do nothing but ept legal sanctions.¡±


    ¡°What about you? Have you ever done that?¡± Riley felt anxious and leaned forward. She cared a lot


    about the Watson Group!


    About to leave, Euan said, ¡°Am I most people? Anyway, I already said that I won¡¯t interfere with


    anything that happens with the Watson Group.¡±


    Riley stood up with him, walked around the table and stood in front of him, blocking his way, ¡°Euan, you


    must help the Watson Group this time. Only you can help!¡±


    She grabbed his sleeve and raised her head to stare into his eyes, ¡°Euan, if you have a way, please


    help the Watson Group!¡±


    Euan looked down at her hand and then said faintly, ¡°Is this how you ask for help, Riley?¡±


    Damn it! It really looked like she was begging him right now. It felt really horrible!


    Riley released his sleeve from her grip and smiled, ¡°Looks like you have no intention of helping. Okay!


    If you don¡¯t want to help, I will find a way by myself!¡±


    Euan frowned, the lines between his eyebrows deepened with anger. ¡®Stupid woman! Beg to me once,


    beg me once sincerely! Will you die from it?¡¯


    She obviously needed his help, but she just put on her arrogant look. She deserved to suffer!


    ¡°The Watson Group has already rmed the industrial,mercial and judicial departments in JD City.


    You being a doctor, even with all your connections, cannot settle this matter. The only person in JD City


    who can help the Watson Group get through this is me.¡±


    Saying that, Euan strode towards the living room, bumping into her shoulder roughly on his way. The


    servant brought his coat and helped him put it on. Having neatly wore the coat of the ck handmade


    suit, he turned around to look at Riley, ¡°I will give you a morning to think about it. Think about how will


    you bargain with me.¡±


    Saying that, he walked out of the vi door.


    Riley¡¯s chest rose and fell as she stood there breathing heavily. ¡®Euan, you really think you are the


    overlord of JD City, right?¡¯ She couldn¡¯t believe that she wouldn¡¯t be able to find a way!


    At this time, Riley¡¯s cell phone rang.


    As expected, it was Freya.


    Riley snorted softly. Freya came to her after making a mess.


    ¡°So, what is it now?¡± Riley was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She could imagine Freya wishing


    to choke Riley to death but having to call her for help.


    ¡°Something happened to the Watson Group¡­ you are also a member of the Watson family. At such a


    time¡­ you should help.¡±


    Ha ha!


    ¡°Freya, you made this mess yourself and now you are asking me for help in this tone? Wow, you are


    gutsy!¡±


    At this moment, Freya and Lauren were in the rest room of the Public Security Bureau, waiting for


    someone toe rescue them. Lauren shook her head at her daughter and motioned her to coax Riley


    politely first.


    ¡°Riley, look at what you said. No matter what you say, we are all members of the Watson family. Now


    that the Watson Group is in trouble, everyone should try their best. Besides, it is not a big deal for


    Euan. As long as you ask for his help, he will definitely help.¡±


    Lauren was anxious and took the phone from Freya, ¡°Riley, if the Watson Group ept the regr


    investigation, we will not be able to operate normally for half a month and we will lose most of our


    clients. If the group goes bankrupt, your mother, your father¡¯s painstaking efforts will be wasted! Make


    your decision quickly! If there¡¯s no third-party intervention before noon today, the Watson Group will be


    finished!¡±Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ¡°Riley, if you really belong to the Watson family and care about your father¡¯s hard work, go to Euan


    immediately!¡±

 Chapter 64 I Will Sleep Here Tonight

    Chapter 64 I Will Sleep Here Tonight


    In the CEO office of MBK building.


    Euan sat on the ck executive chair. There was a lot of files on the nanmu table. He held the roller pe


    n with his clean hand. He signed his name on the paper with strength.


    He looked around, his handsome face faced the window. He could see the view of half of the city. He h


    ad the dominant feeling when he looked at the tiny buildings from his bird¡¯s view, he felt proud of himsel


    f.


    Elijah knocked on the door, Euan said ¡°Come in¡± in his low tone.


    ¡°Boss, I hear that you want to see me?¡±


    Elijah entered. He stood straight and got ready to be instructed. He observed Euan, who seemed to


    have a scary aura and a bad mood. He seemed to be annoyed by Mrs. George.


    Euan regained his attention. Looking at Elijah with cool sights, he seemed to think of something but did


    not say it out in a hurry.


    His cold eyes frightened Elijah. Elijah did not dare to say anything and waited silently for him to give


    instruction.


    Euan took a nce on his head with his deep eyes and said indifferently with a low tone, ¡°Don¡¯t you


    have something to tell me?¡±


    Elijah who stood in front of the table was dumbfounded after being asked by Euan. It was Euan who


    wanted to see him, why he was being questioned now? He did not dare to speak.


    He was afraid that if he spoke something wrongly, he would be thrown out of the window. Elijah rubbed


    his hands. Meanwhile, the atmosphere around them was unsettling. If he did not say anything, it was¡­


    awkward.


    So, Elijah said boldly, ¡°Boss, there are a lot of outsiders discussing the Watson Group¡­Hmm hmm.¡±


    Elijah stopped his words half-way, did not dare to continue. Therefore, he smiled foolishly to cover up


    his embarrassment but to his understanding of his arrogant boss, Euan allowed him to talk about it.


    ¡°What¡¯s your opinion?¡±


    Euan put down the pen. Crossing his fingers and resting them on the table, he looked at Elijah calmly.


    Elijah did not expect Euan to ask about it. He swallowed his saliva. Then, he did not rush and said his


    words carefully, ¡°The Watson group has encountered big trouble this time. If they do not settle it, they


    will bankrupt. In fact, the Watson group looked powerful but they are weak and cannot ovee the


    financial crisis. Boss, you are observant, you should know it well, Haha.¡±


    Obviously, hisugher was aimed to distract Euan¡¯s attention. Being just a subordinate, he did not dare


    toment about his boss¡¯s father-inw.


    Euan drew circles with his thumbs. His deep sights darkened. If the Watson group bankrupted, Riley


    must be very sad.


    He looked at the time, it was almost 12 o¡¯clock. Although he threatened Riley to beg him, she did not


    do so. Euan did not want to see the Watson group bankrupt.


    Damn! Euan who had always been calm was furious now.


    ¡°Go to the relevant department and be the guarantor of the Watson group. Let them avoid the spotlight.


    You can take out the money from my bank ount if necessary,¡±


    Euan said in a low tone. He looked at his watch and gave the instruction.


    Once Elijah heard that Euan wanted to settle the matter of the Watson family, he nodded instantly,


    ¡°Yes! Boss! I will do it now!¡±


    Euan said with a cold tone abruptly, ¡°Wait.¡±


    Elijah stopped his steps and turned around. Oh no, was he going to regret it now?


    Euan frowned, ¡°Don¡¯t let her know about this matter.¡±


    Elijahughed internally but he showed an ignorant expression and asked innocently, ¡°Who is the one


    Mr. George talking about? Ms. Saunders?¡±


    Euan took a file and threw it onto Elijah. This fellow was getting bolder!


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡±


    Elijah quickly picked up the file and put it on his table, ¡°Yes yes yes, I am wrong, boss. Please keep


    calm, I will do it now.¡±


    Euan leaned against his chair while Elijah left the office. His watch showed that it was almost 11:50


    p.m.


    It seemed like she would not call him for help.


    Euan sighed slightly. What was he doing? Did Riley deserve his toleration?


    She did not deserve it!


    When he thought of this, he rubbed his brow gloomily.


    Just then, at YJ Vi.


    Riley held her phone tight and gritted her teeth. She walked under the sun almost five hundred times to


    ask everyone that she knew. Sarah did it too but no one dared to deal with this harsh problem.


    False ounts and tax evasion were sensitive issues in business circles. No one could escape after


    touching them.


    Was Euan the only person that could help her? Riley bit her lips and looked at the scenery outside the


    vi. The scenery was beautiful but she did not have the mood to enjoy it.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    The time was nearly 12 o¡¯clock. Riley made up her mind to call him! She had no choice, and she was in


    his hand. What else could he do?


    Probably¡­Probably just apany him for a few nights.


    He was her husband but he always punished her to apany him in that way. She felt so scary.


    Out of the blue, his phone rang. Euan¡¯s attention was distracted from the folders. He was surprised, as


    Riley called him finally?


    Euan maintained his movement, and he looked at the screen of his phone. Riley seldom called him,


    and every time she called him was to divorce or about others¡¯ business.


    He wanted to make her nervous for at least one time to show that he was not the kind of person that


    obeyed easily.


    One minute passed with her nervousness and anxiousness. Riley was stunned, as he did not pick up


    her call?


    Was he not aware of the ringtone? Was he busy? Having a meeting? Went Outside?


    It was almost 12 o¡¯clock. Euan, didn¡¯t you change your mind suddenly!


    Riley called again, it was as same as just now, no one picked up her call. Riley did not feel


    embarrassed to beg him now, instead, she felt uneasy about being ignored.


    If Euan changed his mind, she did not have any other ways.


    Finally, the call was picked up at her third attempt.


    ¡°Euan! Please help the Watson group!¡± Once the call was picked up, Riley shouted to the phone


    desperately. This time, she really put away her arrogance.


    Euan was calm, saying lowly with a flirtatious tone, ¡°Have you thought of anything to be exchanged


    with me?¡±


    Riley strengthened her hand to pluck the blooming white flower at the balcony, ¡°No but if you can help


    the Watson group, whatever¡­whatever you want, I can give you.¡±


    Alright, this fierce lion could finally hide her w. It seemed great to operate the Watson group like this


    way, did not bankrupt yet could not revive.


    Euan sneered alluringly, ¡°You seem to know yourself well, you indeed don¡¯t have any valuable thing to


    exchange with me. Now, think of what you are doing, think carefully about why you have the courage to


    take this action.¡±


    Riley was dumbfounded, ¡°Euan, please don¡¯t rake up the past at this moment. It is almost 12 o¡¯clock.¡±


    ¡°Now only you are nervous? Riley, what did you do for the whole day?¡±


    Euan admired her IQ. She thought that she could seek assistance from him at 12 o¡¯clock then he was


    able to help her? She thought that he could settle the problem easily?


    Riley, you had be a fool after staying at the hospital for a long time.


    ¡°You¡­You are not the only one that can help me¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh? Well, then I don¡¯t have to intervene.¡±


    There was some sound giving a signal to her that Euan was going to hang up the phone.


    ¡°Wait! I mean you should have a way to settle it. You can ask me to do anything if the Watson group


    can ovee this crisis, anything¡­¡± She gritted her teeth!


    Anything also can?


    Euan frowned.


    He was angry that she did not seek assistance from him. Now, he was even angry that she begged him


    with this kind of inferior behaviour!


    ¡°Well, you seem to know the current situation clearly. I will settle the crisis of the Watson group but you


    have to remember what you say. If you rebel against me, I will ruin thepany.¡±


    Riley held her phone so tight that the phone became hot, ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡±


    It was 2 p.m. Riley saw the news. The matters of false ounts and tax evasion turned up to be the


    calction error of the careless ountant. The taxes required had been paid. The Watson group had


    solved the crisis.


    Riley fell onto the sofa. She put her hand on her chest and gasped, Euan¡­how smart you were?


    It was a major judicial case that rmed many departments, but he could settle it easily. How powerful


    he was?


    However, Riley had to live sufferingly afterward.


    She waited for Euan uneasily for the whole afternoon. She hoped him to return yet hoped him not to


    return at the same time.


    After having a contradiction with herself for a few hours, a ck Bentley arrived.


    The maid went to wee Euan. ording to the etiquette of the George family, Riley should


    wee him too. She stood at the door, looking at Euan who was dignified and arrogant got down the


    car and walked towards her.


    Under the sun, his handsome face made others¡¯ hearts beat fast.


    ¡°Young master.¡±


    ¡°Young master.¡±


    The maids weed Euan but he walked to Riley¡¯s side. She struggled for a long time, did not speak a


    word.


    Euan could not help but quicken his steps, Riley was so stubborn, she did not change her pattern.


    They did not talk during dinner time. She was puzzled that he did not ask her to do anything.


    After the meal, Euan entered the study room to read books while Riley took her bath and changed her


    pyjamas before going to the bedroom.


    He still stayed in the study room and did not have any movement.


    She would simply pass her day like this? Was Euan too busy that he forgot about her?


    Obviously, she took it too easy.


    Riley sat on the bed. She opened the medical book to search for materials to write in her thesis. Later,


    a maid who was holding Euan¡¯s pyjamas entered her bedroom.


    The pyjamas were put on the sofa.


    What happened?


    After a few minutes, Euan walked into the bedroom, he took off his clothes in front of Riley.


    ¡°Euan, what are you doing?¡±


    Euan looked at her coolly, ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious?¡±


    ¡°It is obvious, that¡¯s why I ask you. I sleep here, you sleep downstairs, why you take off your clothes


    here?¡±


    Euan unbuttoned his clothes, one by one, his strong chest was revealed. Then, he threw away his


    white shirt straight away, ¡°That is the past, from tonight onwards, I will sleep here.¡±


    Riley got down the bed alertly, ¡°You mean I should sleep downstairs? Is it?¡±


    After saying that, Riley wanted to escape but he said with a sexy tone, ¡°Stand there.¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, ¡°Euan, sleeping in a different room is


    a good habit, we should maintain it.¡±


    Euan sneered, ¡°Turn around to look at me.¡±


    She was speechless.


    He had taken off his clothes and only left underwear. The muscle on his long leg could be seen. His


    Apollo¡¯s Belt was also revealed. He was barefoot and emitted his male hormone.


    Riley looked at him with crystal sights, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°I want you to see clearly who is the one going to sleep with you tonight!¡±

 Chapter 65 Sleeping In Such A Posture In Bed?

    Chapter 65 Sleeping In Such A Posture In Bed?


    They would be sleeping on the same bed!


    That was absolutely a tremendous shock to Riley. She felt as if she had heard something impossible.


    Had Euan lost his mind?


    They had been sleeping separately for three years, and it was already their lifestyle. Why did Euan


    want to change their lifestyle suddenly? Was he trying to test her, seduce her, or embarrass her?


    Riley¡¯s facial expression changed along with her doubts, while the tall and sexy man had walked


    towards the bathroom.


    The sound of the water from the shower disturbed her thoughts more.


    Euan¡¯s phone rang at that moment, and Riley nced at it. It was a call from Lydia.


    Riley looked at the bathroom door, and a smirk rose on her face. She took the phone and swiped to


    answer the call.


    ¡°Euan, haven¡¯t you slept either? Do you miss me? Our baby and I miss you very much¡­¡±


    Ew!


    The sweet voice that could make one¡¯s scalp tingle and feel disgusting was heard from the other side


    of the call. Riley frowned as she continued to listen. ¡®Lydia, let me see how have you seduced Euan?¡¯


    Lydia was lying on her bed that was decorated like a princess¡¯. Her portraits upied most of the wall


    in front of her bed. She was admiring her portraits, her clean and wless appearance, her long


    eyshes, and her tiny red lips. Underneath, her long and slender legs were covered with only a piece


    of ribbon. She was like a seductive goblin.


    ¡°Euan, the portraits taken today are published. They are beautiful, and you¡¯ll like them. I¡¯ve seen the


    vi¡¯s corridor.¡±


    She even wanted to ce her portraits in the vi¡¯s corridor? The vi was their wedding house. Did


    Lydia intend to interfere in their affairs too?


    Huh!


    There was no response from the other end of the call. Lydia looked at her phone screen. The call was


    still on.


    ¡°Euan, are you listening?¡±


    Riley leaned against the European-style big bed and sneered, ¡°Euan is bathing. What¡¯s the matter? I¡¯ll


    help you to convey it to him.¡±


    Lydia was surprised. Her sweet voice just now had turned into a roar, ¡°Riley! Why are you having


    Euan¡¯s phone? You¡­ are in the vi?¡±


    Riley looked at the bathroom, ¡°I am not only in the vi, but I¡¯m also in the same room as Euan. Euan is


    bathing. Shall I let you listen to him bathing? Even the sound of the water from the shower is very


    sexy.¡±


    Lydia grabbed the pillow, and her fingers were pinching hard on the golden thread on the side of the


    pillow. She almost tore it off. ¡°Riley, you bitch. Put down Euan¡¯s phone!¡±


    ¡°Huh, Lydia. Save some energy and take care of your baby. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that you might not be


    able to endure it if you hear somethingter.¡±


    Riley was estimating the time Euan would finish his bath. She had to put down the phone before that.


    Lydia threw the pillow to the floor, making a dull thud, ¡°Riley, how do you dare to seduce Euan? Are you


    going to use the same trick you used that time? Shame on you!¡±


    Riley let out a cold hiss, ¡°Come on, Lydia. Don¡¯t you think that I don¡¯t know how you managed to sleep


    with him? You don¡¯t need to condemn yourself indirectly through me. Just stop!¡±


    The sound of the water flowing stopped. Riley had to end the call.


    ¡°Riley, it is useless even if you used your old tricks again. Euan would not leave our baby and me!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll wish you well then. It¡¯s not bad to be a mistress. You better be polite to me. Maybe in the future,


    Euan will take back the custody of the child, and I will treat him better as his stepmother. And, Lydia, it¡¯s


    not nice to disturb other couple¡¯s nightlife. Just go to sleep.¡±


    With that, Riley hung up.


    Euan came out wrapped in a towel. His hair was still wet. The white towel was wrapped around his


    sexy long legs. The towel swayed gently as he walked as if it would fall any time.


    He¡­was indeed enchanting.


    ¡°Lydia called you just now.¡± Riley continued to read her book as if nothing happened.


    Euan did not react much, ¡°What did she say?¡±


    Riley said bluntly, ¡°Nothing, she was just expressing that she misses you.¡±


    Euan frowned, ¡°Riley, are you even a woman?¡±


    Or was she even his woman?


    Riley raised her head from her gaze at the book. Her mind would be nk whenever she saw his


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    figure. So, she quickly diverted her look on him, ¡°Are you sleeping with a man tonight, Euan?¡±


    Euan felt like strangling her!


    ¡°Riley, do you know you are trying to cause trouble?¡± It was an angry but kind reminder.


    It was 10 p.m. Riley clenched her teeth and put down the book, ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing, Euan. Thank


    you for buying such a big bed. It would be enough for both of us even if it is only half its size.¡±


    Avoiding her injured arm, she slipped into the nket andid down still at the edge of the bed.


    The King size bed was a superrge double bed. She only upied a small part of the bed, and her


    thin figure seemed to hang on the edge of the bed, leaving a big space for Euan.


    Euan took off the towel. His naked body under the bright light wasparable to David¡¯s sculpture.


    He was so sexy, enchanting, and seducing!


    The man¡¯s body was sexy under the light from the luxurious crystal chandelier.


    Stop!


    ¡®Riley, you did not see anything!¡¯


    Euan smirked, ¡°Woman, the expression on your face betrayed you. You like my body very much.¡±


    Riley straightened her neck, ¡°I like to eat pork too!¡±


    Euan was speechless.


    She was covered in a corner of the double bed nket. Euan reached out and lifted the nket and


    sat. He frowned. It was the first time in his life that he felt that a single bed was better.


    There was a big gap between them. Was that even considered sleeping on the same bed?


    Euan looked at the bulged-up nket on her side and said coldly in a deep voice, ¡°Come here.¡±


    Riley struggled deep in her. She was not shy that Euan might make love with her but was afraid that he


    might hurt her arm again. She wanted to recover quickly. However, Euan was always rough on the bed.


    So, she might be hurt again.


    She thought about it and felt that she should notpromise.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine here, Euan. It¡¯s alreadyte. Let¡¯s turn off the lights and sleep.¡± Her uninjured hand grabbed


    the nket. Both her legs were exposed because the nket only covered the upper part of her body.


    Her fair legs and thighs looked softer under the ck nket.


    Euan impatiently ordered the second time, ¡°Come here, I am not discussing with you.¡±


    Riley ignored, ¡°Euan, I¡¯m injured. I can¡¯t help you with that. If it¡¯s necessary, then do it yourself.¡±


    Stupid woman! She was thinking about that!


    Euan leaned on the head of the bed with rage, ¡°It¡¯s time now for you to fulfil your terms. You know what


    you should do if you don¡¯t want the Watson family to encounter the same problem again.¡±


    So, that was what he wanted her to do?


    ¡®Euan, you are so cunning!¡¯


    Riley clenched her teeth and moved towards him, ¡°Now¡­right?¡±


    Euan looked at the distance and said monotonously, ¡°What do you think?¡±


    Riley moved again, ¡°This should be fine.¡±


    Euan was hot-tempered. He was not patient enough to see Riley wasting time like that. He stared


    coldly at her injured arm, ¡°I think that you want to injure yourself more.¡±


    Riley was annoyed, and she sat up at once. Her legs stepped on the bouncy bed, making the bed sunk


    a little. Her slender legs were just standing right in front of Euan.


    She acted like she was about to beat him up.


    Euan¡¯s eyes were bright, and his gaze went up along her legs. The injury on her knees was finally


    healed, but there were light brown scars on them.


    The woman was about to burst into anger again. He patiently waited for her action.


    Unexpectedly, when Euan was prepared for her anger, the anger on Riley¡¯s face was gone, and she


    walked towards him. Then she sat down near him, ¡°You asked me toe over. Don¡¯t regret it!¡±


    Euan fixed his eyes on her, ¡°Are you threatening me? Good!¡±


    Fortunately, her injured arms were not on his side, so she felt a little secured. Sheid t and spread


    herself wide. Then she shut her eyes as if she was prepared to sacrifice herself, ¡°Do whatever you


    want to do. Finish it quick, and let¡¯s sleep early.¡±


    Euan was angry this time! He pressed on her arm near him, then his gloomy eyes showed anger, ¡°Do


    you want it that much?¡±


    ¡°No!¡± ¡®It was you!¡¯


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to then shut up!¡±


    ¡®Huh? It cannot be true? He did not want to make love that night?¡¯


    Before she could conclude the matter, he turned off the lights with a snap, covering the splendours in


    the room. In the darkness, Riley sensed the breath of the man near her. She could smell the fragrance


    of Agave on Euan, carrying every surge of excitement into a shallow breath.


    He did not speak, neither did she. Theyid beside each other t. Riley tried hard not to make herself


    breathe rhythmically. She held tight onto her pyjamas, calming herself down.


    Soon, the even and loud breathing sound of the man beside her sounded. It seemed that he was


    asleep.


    She turned around under the moonlight and looked at him, then subconsciously smiled. She did not


    know what Euan was up to, but she enjoyed the quiet moment, and she even hoped that the time


    would pause at that moment.


    Soon, Riley fell asleep in Euan¡¯s fragrant scent.


    In the middle of the night, Euan woke up. He was wakened up by something pressing on him.


    As soon as he lifted his leg, he sensed that a small-sized woman was pressing on his leg. One of her


    legs was on his body and the other was stretched out to the other side of the bed. Her hand was


    holding on to his pyjamas, and her head was at his waist, sleeping soundly.


    Euan frowned.


    Stupid woman! What kind of sleeping posture was that? Riley, Dr. Watson, who was a self-confident


    and cold woman, had such a sleeping posture in bed?


    Euan moved her leg from his body, then sat up and pulled her up, so that her head could be ced


    back on the pillow. Then he ced her injured arm well. Finally, the woman was back to the position


    before.


    But only half an hourter, she was again grasping on him like an octopus.


    Euan looked at the time. It was 3 a.m. Was this woman trying to torture him?


    So, he simplyid to the side. His long legs mped her legs tightly, not giving her chances to turn


    over. He ced his big hand around her waist, avoiding her arm, and held Riley firmly.


    After Euan finished his actions, he then realized that Riley was near him, and her soft hair was around


    his arms. Her blushing face was near his chest, and a fragrance of Gardenia surrounded him.


    He was rxed and happyying under the scent.


    As Euan held tight on her, he perhaps did not notice that that night was the most tortured night for his


    body, but it was also the most delightful night for him in these three years.


    ¡°Woman, can you tell me what I am supposed to do?¡± He put his hand around her waist, closed his


    eyes, and whispered.


    The woman in his arms mumbled something in her dreams and found a morefortable position for


    her head to rest on. She was then quiet again.


    Euan chuckled. That was the most rxed chuckle that he had in these three years.

 Chapter 66 The Warmth and Affectionate Room

    Chapter 66 The Warmth and Affectionate Room


    The first ray of sunshine from the next morning brightened the warm and affectionate room.


    Riley woke up.


    She used to usually stretch her arms and her body when she woke up. But when she tried to raise her


    arms that day, she found that she couldn¡¯t move.


    She opened her eyes little by little, and her gaze met Euan¡¯s perfect face. Riley lowered her head and


    found that her pajamas were still on her. But...why was her body held firmly by him?


    After rubbing her forehead, Riley understood what had happened. She might have been moving around


    while she sleptst night. Sarah was kicked down the bed when they went on a trip and slept on the


    same bed.


    She tried to imagine what happenedst night. Then Riley bit on her lower lips and cursed, fuck!


    But she saw Euan¡¯s asleep look under the sunshine as soon as she looked up. Euan¡¯s thin lips were


    closed, and the eyshes on his closed eyes were thick. Maybe he was rxed in his sleep, so his


    usual cold face was warmer than before.


    For the first time, she gazed at her husband like that, an unfamiliar and distant husband.


    Her gaze was all on him.


    ¡°Euan¡­¡±


    She called out softly. Euan did not respond and was fast asleep.


    She yfully ced her finger under his nose to test his breath. The warm air gushed out from his


    nose and warmed her finger. It wasfortable.


    After indulging and returning to reality, Riley carefully broke away from his arms and pulled out her


    legs. Then she lifted the nket and walked out of the bed.


    When she walked out of the bedroom, Sophia and Lh were cleaning the furniture in the living room.


    The two girls were muttering something and giggling.


    Jodie saw Riley had woken up, and she quickly said politely, ¡°Good Morning, Mrs. George. You woke


    up quite early.¡±


    Riley nodded and said, ¡°Good morning.¡±


    Sophia and Lh greeted her too. The living room was quiet again because of Riley¡¯s presence. Both of


    the maids worked in silence.


    Riley walked downstairs, ¡°Is the newspaper here?¡±


    ¡°Yes. I have already ced it on the table in the living room. The young master is used to reading


    newspapers before meals.¡± Jodie said.


    Riley went straight towards the table and opened the newspaper. She wanted to know about the


    Watson family¡¯s recent situation, hoping that nothing that happened.


    Great, there was no news about the Watson. If there was no news, it was good news for her.


    But her finger stopped at the headlines and saw the ck headline read, ¡°MBK International


    Corporation won the top of China¡¯s innovative enterprises, and Mr. Euan George was specially


    interviewed.¡±


    Below that, the words were written clearly, ¡°MBK International Corporation¡¯s CEO is the youngest


    richest man in the Maind of China.¡±


    The following figures were the current assets of Euan George.


    Riley counted the zeros in the numbers, and put on a contemptuous expression, ¡°He is indeed a senior


    capitalist, and had a good way in getting money. He had got the money and became the richest man.¡±


    He would have more pride now, and manydies would probablye to him.


    She felt a little uneasy in her. The more excellent and outstanding he was, it would mean that the gap


    between them was bigger, and she was afraid she had no courage to stand at the same level as him.


    Leaving the newspaper on the table, Riley poured a cup of water. Thinking about Hendrix being


    scolded, she asked casually, ¡°Jodie, how is the situation in George¡¯s mansion?¡±


    Jodie told the real situation, ¡°The Old Master and Madam George are fine. Thank you for the concern.¡±


    Riley held up her cup and drank a mouthful of water, ¡°How about Young Master Hendrix?¡±


    When Jodie heard that she mentioned the Young Master Hendrix and she hesitated for a while and


    said nothing.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why can¡¯t you say it?¡±


    Jodie told Sophie and Lh, ¡°Go to the kitchen and check on the soup. Pick the vegetables and wash


    them.¡±


    After sending away the two maids, Jodie then said, ¡°Young Master Hendrix was beaten up. His injury


    seemed to be serious. The Old Master grounded him and asked Dr. Rose to check on him. I went to


    take care of Young Master Hendrix and found out that his clothes were stained with blood...I don¡¯t know


    what he had done that made the Old Master so angry.¡±


    Riley¡¯s grasp on the cup was tighter. Jakub was so cruel that he could even be so cruel to his son?


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Young Master Hendrix say anything?¡±


    He had stopped disturbing her these few days. It might be because he was grounded at the George


    mansion. Thinking about it, she felt pity for the Young Master Hendrix.


    Jodie shook her head, ¡°No, we did not dare to ask either.¡±


    Riley looked at Jodie¡¯s eyes that were diverting from her. Riley guessed that she knew something but


    could not reveal her master¡¯s condition due to her identity.


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s okay. Go ahead and do what you have to do.¡±


    After having breakfast, Euan went to work, and Riley was nning to finish her thesis. She had not


    much time left that the end of the month was around the corner.


    After reading for a while in the morning, as she turned on theputer to prepare for the topic, the


    phone rang.


    She picked it up casually and held it to her ears with her shoulder, as she typed and said, ¡°Hello?¡±


    There was no one speaking from the other end, so she asked, ¡°Who is on the line?¡±


    There was still no voice from the other end, ¡°Speak or I¡¯ll hang up the call.¡±


    There was still no response.


    Riley took her phone and saw that it was a call from the inte, and it was a series of irregr


    numbers. It must be someone who had dialed the wrong number.


    After a while, William called.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, is your arm feeling better now?¡±


    Riley heard his gentle voice and she was rxed again, ¡°Much better. Thank you for your concern.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s my duty. You are injured during working hours. Wouldn¡¯t it be not appropriate if I do not express my


    sympathy as your superior?¡±


    William sat in front of his desk in his office. He was looking at the cast-iron-nt beside him. It was a


    present from Jeanne, but William first thought that it suited Riley more.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty you must be busy with your work. You don¡¯t have to worry about such small matters. I¡¯ll


    be back at the hospital in a few days. Fortunately, I was injured on the left hand, and I don¡¯t need to


    perform surgery. So, it would not affect my job.¡±


    Riley was prepared to hang up the call and continue with her thesis, when William suddenly said,


    ¡°What kind of nts do you like? Do you like orchids? I think the cast-iron-nt suits you well.¡±


    Wasn¡¯t that topic too far away from the previous topic?


    ¡°Me? I¡¯m fine with anything. I don¡¯t have much interest in nts and don''t have any concepts about


    them.¡± Riley flipped across the pages of the book and wanted to learn from a case in it.


    ¡°Well, I see. Have a good rest. Hope you would be back to the hospital soon...for work.¡±


    Riley was a little confused. She hung up the call and continued typing. She did not think much about it.


    Willian put down the phone, and the deputy director of the Respiratory department just came in, ¡°Mr.


    Hardesty, this is the information you wanted.¡±


    ¡°Put it down. I¡¯ll look at itter.¡±


    ¡°All right.¡±


    After the deputy director reported his work and was ready to leave, William looked up and said, ¡°Is


    there any flea market that sells birds and flowers nearby?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s only ten minutes walk. Turn right from the entrance. Do you have something to do?¡±


    William smiled gently, ¡°I have something to do. You can go ahead.¡±


    In the YJ vi.


    ¡°Mrs. George. Ms. Saunders is here...Ms. Saunders, Mrs. George is in the study on the second floor.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    You¡­¡±


    ¡°I know where it is.¡±


    Just as Riley heard the conversation, the study¡¯s door was pushed open by Lydia. Lydia in fashionable


    clothes stood at the door. The smile on her was arrogant.


    ¡°Riley, you are something,ing back here again.¡±


    Lydia leaned against the door as if she was the owner of the house, questioning her husband¡¯s


    mistress.


    Riley was typing, ¡°Lydia, Euan is not at home. You have note at the right time if you want to meet


    him.¡±


    She was under stress because of the thesis and did not want to quarrel with Lydia.


    Lydia came up to her, ¡°Hey, Riley, is your arm broken? It would be useless if a doctor doesn¡¯t have her


    arm. You are back here to let Euan take care of you, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have the time to talk nonsense to you. Get out!¡± Riley could not use her other hand, so her


    typing speed was slow, and only finished typing one thousand words.


    ¡°What are you doing, pretending to be serious? Riley, you are a bitch in you! Bitch!¡±


    Lydia snatched the keyboard and pressed down the delete key. After a while, all the words on the


    screen were deleted!


    There were no words left on the thesis she had written down with all her efforts!


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you Lydia? Euan and I haven¡¯t divorced yet. This is our house. You have no right to


    throw your tantrums here. Get out!¡±


    Lydia crossed her arms, ¡°Get out? Wait and see, which one of us would get out?¡±


    Jodie walked towards them at that moment, she said in a low voice, ¡°Mrs. George. Where should I put


    Ms. Saunders¡¯ things?¡±


    Riley walked out of the room and saw a few pieces of luggage in the living room, ¡°What are all these?¡±


    Lydia walked down the stairs step by step, ¡°These are my things. I¡¯lle here often in the future. After


    all, the child¡¯s parental education needs the father¡¯s guide, don¡¯t you think so? Don¡¯t look at me like


    that. Madam George agreed to all of these. You could only me yourself for not being able to get


    pregnant.


    The child she was pregnant with had done her a great favor.


    She might not be able to impress Anika if she wasn¡¯t pregnant, and she might not be able to visit


    Euan¡¯s wedding house.


    But it would be better in the future. She would gradually rece Riley and be Euan¡¯s wife.


    Riley¡¯s finger pressed on the handrail, ¡°Whatever.¡±


    Anika wanted her to get out of George''s family as soon as possible. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have


    agreed to such a ridiculous request. Riley was disappointed, and she smiled bitterly.


    They were so addicted to the drama of a mother getting married to the rich because of her son.


    That¡¯s ridiculous.


    Lydia requested to stay in the master bedroom on the second floor, Jodie stopped her, ¡°Ms. Saunders,


    the master bedroom is for the Young Master and Mrs. George. You have to stay in the guest room...¡±


    ¡°You have no right to talk! Guest room? Are you asking the future eldest grandson of the George family


    to sleep in the guest room? I think you are tired of living. Get lost!¡±


    Jodie left after Lydia scolded. Sophie and Lh did not dare to say a word.


    Riley looked at the farce, ¡°Jodie, let her move in. You all go ahead and do what you have to do.¡±


    Riley went back to the study tiredly. She tried to recover the deleted thesis, but she found out that Lydia


    had deleted the document too. Lydia was too much!


    Riley¡¯s things were stuffed into a paper box by the maids. Her skincare, jewelry, and her clothes in the


    wardrobe were all dumped in the box. It seemed like they were trying to chase her out of the house.


    ¡°Riley, I feel ashamed for you trying to upy the bedroom with such petty things. There will be no


    such things for the poor people in this room in the future. And you, get out of here!¡±


    Huh!


    ¡°Young Master, you are back. Today, Ms. Saunders¡­¡±


    Euan was back?


    Riley and Lydia¡¯s facial expressions changed. Lydia poked Riley¡¯s forehead with her slender finger. Her


    fingernails that were iid with the crystal made her feel a sharp pain on her forehead.


    ¡°Riley, the father of our child is back. You¡¯ll never be able to enter this room anymore.¡±


    Euan raised his head and looked at the things ced at the end of the spiral staircase. He frowned


    slightly and walked up the stairs slowly¡­

 Chapter 67 Calling Out His Name In Her Dream

    Chapter 67 Calling Out His Name In Her Dream


    Lydia grabbed Riley¡¯s hand swiftly and stuffed an item made from crystal into her hand. Then, with a


    thud, the object dropped and shattered on the ground.


    Lydia cried out loudly and started to whine when she reached the stairhead, ¡°Euan, you are finally


    home. Riley, she¡­I only came here to visit you, but sheshed out at me, huhu¡­Euan¡­¡±


    As expected, Lydia med Riley for breaking the crystal while she emphasized that Riley wanted to


    hurt her and her unborn child.


    Riley did not even bother to exin herself in the face of such a clich¨¦ trick.


    Euan looked at Lydia, who was shedding tears and was worried about the child in her stomach, ¡°It¡¯s


    okay, I¡¯ll get you a new one.¡°


    Riley locked her perplexed gaze on Euan. She thought that he would at least ask Lydia the reason for


    her presence here.


    But he did not.


    What would other people think of her if they found out that Euan¡¯s mistress appeared in their love nest


    grantly?


    ¡°This isn¡¯t about the crystal. It¡¯s Riley. She can¡¯t tolerate me at all, and even more so of the child. Euan,


    your mother, told me toe here and live with you because she hopes that you, as the father can


    apany our child¡¯s prenatal education. But I didn¡¯t expect her to be here too.¡±


    She did not know?


    Euan thought about the phone call fromst night.


    Lydia was lying, and Riley wasn¡¯t exining anything.


    Riley suppressed the bitterness and aggrievance within her as she forced a smile, ¡°Ms. Saunders, this


    is my house. Where else should I be if not here?¡±


    ¡°What are you so proud for? Don¡¯t even think that you¡¯re thedy of the George family just because


    your name is on the marriage certificate with Euan. No one is acknowledging you now.¡±


    Euan frowned, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Stop it.¡±


    Did that count as a form of protection?


    ¡°You should stop it too.¡± After he reprimanded Lydia, he turned to Riley and added.


    It turned out to be nothing special.


    After the quarrel, Riley requested to go to the guest room downstairs. She was not going to fight over


    Euan with Lydia. In contrast, from her understanding of Euan, the more they quarreled, the more


    frustrated he would be.


    She might as well do the opposite.


    ¡°It¡¯s important for her and the child to rest. Euan, take good care of her.¡±


    Riley left the bedroom graciously, returned to the study, and continued to type on the keyboard with one


    hand. Sooner orter, they would divorce, so why should she spend time to save this marriage?


    But why was her heart hurting? When she saw Lydia in Euan¡¯s arms, it hurt her so much to the point it


    was painful even to breathe.


    Once she started her work, she was busy for a few hours. During that period, she was called by the


    maids to have dinner, but she simply took a few bites and used her work as an excuse. Surely, she did


    not want to see Lydia do all those lovey-dovey things even more, such as putting food on Euan¡¯s te


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    or feeding him.


    What was even more irritating was the fact that Euan did not reject her.


    It was almost 10 o¡¯clock at night. Riley rubbed her neck, picked up her empty ss, and stood up to get


    water. As soon as she exited the study, she heard Lydia¡¯s voice that came from the direction of the


    master bedroom.


    ¡°Euan, you¡¯re so bad¡­hahaha¡­¡±


    ¡°The baby is still small. How can you feel it?¡±


    ¡°Hey, it¡¯s ticklish, it¡¯s ticklish¡­hahaha, it¡¯s ticklish, Euan¡­¡±


    From the bursts of deliberately-amplifiedughter, Riley could imagine how loving the picture was; they


    were parents who were waiting for the birth of their child, enjoying the joy ofmunicating with the


    little life in the mother¡¯s womb.


    Riley¡¯s eyes were sore. It was painful trying to keep her tears that were threatening to spill in its


    sockets. She lifted her head and looked up but was too slow to stop her tears as they slipped down her


    cheeks. She hurriedly wiped it away, poured herself a ss of water, and closed the door to the study.


    But even after she closed the door, Lydia¡¯sughter still circled her ears. With a death grip on the ss,


    Riley¡¯s tears, like a pearl ne that broke, pattered on the keyboard.


    There was nowhere she could go to hide from this pain that came from her heart.


    She opened the window and left a tiny gap. The wind blew through the window screen and entered the


    room. It felt a little cold on her skin, but it made her mind clearer. It was a night that was as dark as ink.


    A night that was empty and lonely.


    Riley searched for the information she needed till a little over 11 o¡¯clock. She was too sleepy and fell


    asleep right in front of theputer.


    When Euan came out from the bedroom, the light to the second-floor study was still on.


    Was Riley still inside thiste at night?


    Euan stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment before he pushed it open. Under the study


    He walked towards her, but there was no reaction from the girl. Theputer screen was still on, and it


    disyed the thesis she wrote. Euan frowned and thought to himself. Dumb woman, wasn¡¯t it good to


    just stay by his side and get pampered like a wealthydy?


    She just had to be so ambitious.


    Euan used his slender finger to save the document for her before turning off theputer.


    He carried her up in his arms gently, and she felt as light as a feather in his embrace. Slowly, he walked


    down the stairs and brought Riley to the bedroom on the first floor.


    Riley nestled in Euan¡¯s arms and murmured something, but he did not catch it.


    After a while, she murmured again, ¡°Eu¡­an¡­¡±


    Euan¡¯s footsteps stopped abruptly as if he had been shocked by electricity and stood in the living room,


    listening to her voice carefully. This woman was calling his name out in her dream!


    ¡°Euan¡­you are so¡­annoying¡­¡±


    She whined in a faint voice, probably because of her dream. As opposed to her usual voice, her voice


    now was soft and warm.


    Euan observed her from above. When she slept, she had a rxed look, but the words she said could


    rile someone up! It was rare to hear her calling out for him, and it turned out it was to diss him.


    Euan¡¯s joy left as soon as it came. He ced her on the bed, and just as he was about to retract his


    hands, Riley caught onto it, ¡°Euan, why are you so annoying¡­what do I like about you¡­Euan¡­


    actually¡­I knew you a long time ago¡­¡±


    After saying all that, her grip on him loosened as she flipped over on the bed and continued to sleep.


    Euan waited patiently for her to continue, but she was already asleep. She pursed her lips, and when


    she slept, she looked somehow like a child.


    With one hand on the side of the bed, Euan supported his body as he watched her sleeping face. He


    lowered his body, and lowered it even more until the point that their lips were almost touching, ¡°Riley


    Watson, I want to ask myself too, what do I like about you after all that you have done to me?¡±


    After Euan turned off the lights, he left the room.


    But he did not want to return to the bedroom on the second floor as well.


    Euan went straight to the study. Tonight, his feelings wereplicated.


    The next morning, Riley woke up and found out that she was already lying on the bed and scratched


    her head. How did she get down here? Was it sleepwalking? Did the maids carry her down to this


    bedroom?


    Jodie came into the room, smiling as she waited for Riley to wash up, ¡°Madame, you fell asleep in the


    studyst night. It was the young master who carried you down here, and he was extra careful with you


    in his arms.¡±


    Riley questioned, ¡°¡­It was really him?¡±


    Jodie nodded, ¡°Of course, and he even told me to keep my movements light so as to not wake you up.¡±


    In an instant, her heart was filled with warmth. If it were Euan, she would be thrilled.


    On the other hand, when Lydia woke up, she realized that Euan was not beside her and the pillow next


    to her was still in its original position, ¡°He didn¡¯t sleep herest night? Riley Watson called for him?¡±


    That bitch!


    After breakfast, Euan was going to leave for work. Lydia walked past Riley to get to Euan, saying


    sweetly, ¡°Euan, have a safe journey. Our baby and I will wait for you toe back.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± It was a in response, but it was not a cold one.


    Riley changed into a pair of heels, and when she bowed her head, she almost burst into tears. Then,


    she got up and expressionlessly watched them show their affection to each other. Lydia soon went to


    the living room while the maids served her fruits, whereas Riley picked up her handbag and followed


    behind Euan.


    Euan turned back to look at her, ¡°I¡¯m going to work. Why are you following me?¡±


    Riley smiled, ¡°Hitchhiking, I can¡¯t drive yet. Just get Victor to drop me at the junctionter. I¡¯ll hail a cab


    to the hospital.¡±


    He frowned slightly, ¡°You¡¯re going to work? In this state?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not working. It is about the thesis. Ipleted the first draft, but I need to get someone to


    proofread and examine it.¡±


    She can¡¯t tell Euan that William was the examiner of her thesis.


    Euan did not say anything else, allowed her to follow behind him, and got into the car.


    Victor turned his head to the backseat and asked with a smile, ¡°Mr. George, we are¡­¡±


    ¡°Go to the hospital first.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Mr. George!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay! Just drive me to the junction. The hospital and your office are not on the same side of the


    town.¡±


    She didn¡¯t want to bother him nor dy his time. As the wealthiest man here, his time was precious. On


    top of that, he worked really hard.


    ¡°Sit down and stop your nonsense.¡±


    The atmosphere in the car was a little strange. Euan sat by her side and did not disy any apparent


    emotions. Riley held tightly on the strap of her bag, ¡°Thanks forst night.¡±


    ¡°What thesis is it?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± He was not answering to what she said at all.


    Riley looked at him. With the sunlight shining across of his side profile, he looked exceptionally


    charming, ¡°It¡¯s about the job titles. It¡¯s in my USB sh drive, otherwise, I could show it to you.¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you print it out?¡±


    His voice was in as usual, as if the both of them were just another ordinary pair of husband and wife.


    Such unrealistic thoughts were heart-warming, but it was also too far away to be reached.


    ¡°I tried to. But your printer was too high-end, so I failed.¡± She shrugged. As for how she failed after


    trying for a long time, it was unnecessary to mention that.


    After reaching the hospital, Riley went to the cardiology department first. Serena and Margot saw her,


    and they hurriedly went up to her, ¡°Our hero! You¡¯re finally here! You¡¯re popr in the hospital now!


    When you were saving them, you were hurt by a knife, and the helicopter¡­¡±


    ¡°Dr. Margot¡­¡±


    Serena¡¯s reminder stopped Margot from saying anything else.


    Something felt wrong.


    When Riley turned behind, she realized there was a new pot of Aspidistra on the desk.


    ¡°This? Who is it from?¡±


    ¡°Oh! I don¡¯t know. It appeared suddenly. Maybe it¡¯s from a certain admirer of yours.¡±


    Aspidistra?


    Could it be William?


    Riley went to meet William for the thesis, and coincidentally, he was around.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, I came to show you my first draft. There are a few parts that I might need you to correct


    for me on the spot.¡±


    At the sight of Riley, William smiled gently, ¡°You went straight to the point as soon as you entered the


    door. That¡¯s indeed your style.¡±


    Rileyughed, ¡°It¡¯s better to be more serious about research and work.¡±


    William took the USB sh drive from her and printed the document out. He flipped it page by page,


    only picking up a pen after reading it through it once. As a surgeon, his fingers were slender, long, and


    clean, ¡°Here, the example is insufficient. For instance, you can use what happened in Americast


    month¡­and here¡­¡±


    He gave her advice from the beginning till the end of the document, and it made her thoughts clearer.


    It was like she had been filled with wisdom, ¡°Yes, here, I couldn¡¯t understand it all this while. As


    expected from a professional, Mr. Hardesty, you¡¯re amazing.¡±


    After William organized the thesis, he passed it to her, ¡°I¡¯ll correct it ording to this and email it to


    you. Your hand is injured, so you better not type.¡±


    Her heart stopped for a beat, and subconsciously, she wanted to keep her distance from him.


    ¡°Thanks a lot.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why is your expression like that? What happened? Did he¡­make things difficult for


    you?¡±


    Riley denied, ¡°No, it¡¯s just, you know, workaholics crave for work after not working for a long time.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t hide anything in front of me. I told you that you could tell me anything. Tell me, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    William¡¯s persuasive words caused the protective wall of her heart to copse suddenly, ¡°There¡¯s a


    guest at home, and her identity is kinda special.¡±


    William frowned, ¡°Lydia Saunders?¡±


    As expected, he saw right through her again.


    Riley let out augh, mocking herself, ¡°Isn¡¯t it ironic? I feel that way too.¡±


    It hurt William to see Riley pretending to be strong. Why did she have to do that in front of him?


    ¡°What are you nning to do? Drive her away? Or are you going to leave?¡¯

 Chapter 68 Children Can’t Be Without A Father

    Chapter 68 Children Can¡¯t Be Without A Father


    The situation right now, no matter if he drove her away or she took the initiative to leave, seemed hard


    to handle.


    Why would she even want to stay there and be subjected to humiliation. She just didn¡¯t dare to disobey


    due to strong pressure from him.


    Thinking this, Riley smiled slightly, looking worn out, ¡°Me? Doesn¡¯t matter. I just want the selection


    process go by smoothly. They say that when you are frustrated in your love life, you find happiness in


    the workce. I hope this is true.¡±


    William smiled, his expressions rxing, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so open-minded. Someone else in


    your ce might have cried and made a screaming match out of it. You take it so natural, it is


    surprising.¡±


    Riley had already gotten up to leave, ¡°No need topliment me for this. I am really grateful to you for


    helping me with my thesis. I will go now.¡±


    William also stood up with her, ¡°Since you are on vacation right now, can we have lunch together?¡±


    Lunch? Under the current circumstances, she had no appetite and no intention to have lunch with him,


    ¡°Maybe some other day, Mr. Hardesty. Please take your time, I am just leaving by myself.¡±


    William was about to walk towards her when her words made him stop in his tracks. In the end, he still


    managed to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue, ¡°Dr. Watson, I hope you won¡¯t call me Mr.


    Hardesty in the future.¡±


    He wanted to hear her call his name, he knew that it was too much for him to ask her to call him


    William, but it would be grateful even if she added Hardesty.


    Riley lifted her small ck bag, hung it on her shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°I expect you to be


    promoted Mr.Hardesty.¡±


    She joked even though knew what he actually meant.


    However, how could she just go along with what he meant?


    What surprised Riley was that Euan never came back in the next few days after Lydia moved in, and


    she had no idea what he was busy with.


    Lydia woke up every morning on the same time, spread out a yoga mat in therge living room on the


    first floor and did yoga while sting her soothing piano music on the loudest volume possible. The


    whole vi felt at unease with the noise.


    Riley worked on her paper day and night and already slept veryte every night; the loud music made


    her unable to sleep well in the mornings.


    ¡°Is it necessary to tell the world that you are doing yoga every time? How can others sleep when the


    music is so loud in the morning?¡±


    Finally, she couldn¡¯t help it. She lifted the quilt off herself, put on her slippers and stormed towards the


    living room. Her room was on the first floor too. She walked through the long corridor and entered the


    living room to see Lydia spread out in an extremely weird posture on the yoga mat wearing workout


    clothes that exposed her navel.


    Riley had to admit that her figure, which was just like a celebrity¡¯s, was pretty good.


    Lydia sneered, ¡°Who others? It¡¯s sote, only you are still sleeping. Oh right, by others you meant


    you¡­ because you will soon be an outsider.¡±


    Riley hadn¡¯t been able to sleep very well and she felt dizzy. She rubbed her temples, ¡°Lydia, do you


    enjoy being so loud and annoying? Euan and I are not getting divorced. At best, you are a pretty bird in


    a golden cage.¡±


    Lydia changed her posture, folded her hands together and took a deep breath, ¡°That is still better than


    you. You are just bound together with him by a piece of paper. You are just an ugly crow!¡±


    Riley still had the sense to not respond and go back. Jodie said to her with a smile, ¡°Youngdy, you


    didn¡¯t get enough sleep,e, I made soup for you. It will calm your nerves.¡±


    Riley was moved by Jodie¡¯s attempt to resolve the situation.


    Lydia got up and said hurriedly, ¡°Jodie, what did you call her just now? Youngdy? Call her by her


    name in the future! I am the Young Lady of the house. I, pregnant with Euan¡¯s child, I am the Young


    Lady!¡±


    Jodie did not directly refuse or agree. After serving the George family for many years, she knew very


    well how intense were the internal fights of a rich family. She still vividly remembered an incident that


    had happened in the George family around twenty years ago like it was yesterday. She smiled politely,


    ¡°Miss Lydia, I can¡¯t make a mistake. No matter the status or identity, even Mrs. George is here, she will


    also guide me to do so.¡±


    Lydia gritted her teeth. She was waiting to be married to Euan so she could kick all of these wretched


    creatures out of the house!


    Riley sat down in the dining room and smiled lightly, ¡°Thank you, Jodie.¡±


    Riley, who usually didn¡¯t talk much and never smiled, unexpectedly smiled today. She looked very


    beautiful when she smiled.


    ¡°You¡¯re wee, Young Lady. Please have some soup.¡±


    Smash!


    Lydia picked up the soup bowl and threw it on the ground with a resounding smash. The soup was


    sshed all over the floor as the white porcin bowl broke into pieces, making a mess of porcin


    shards and soup on the floor.


    ¡°Riley, I am warning you! Look at your situation clearly, this is just the beginning.¡±


    Pleased with herself, Lydia folded her arms, thinking that in this battle of status and identity she had the


    chance to win.


    Riley didn¡¯t care about her attitude at all, ¡°Lh,e and clean this up.¡±


    The end of that month seemed to arrive in the blink of an eye.


    With that month ending, the summer officially kicked off. Spring had passed and the flowers were


    flourishing beautifully in the garden. The only regret was that there were so many kinds of rare and


    precious flowers in the garden but there wasn¡¯t any cape jasmine.


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Riley¡¯s thesis was finally sessfully published after being revised three or four times.


    Around the same time, her arm also recovered and she told the hospital she would be going back to


    work.


    As for Euan, there was still no news.


    There had been no phone call or any message from him.


    It was not surprising for Riley. After three years of neglect, there had been some ups and downs in their


    feelings for some time due to some things, it was still impossible to turn it into a long-term stable


    rtionship.


    He didn¡¯t care about her, didn¡¯t think about her, of course, he wasn¡¯t going to tell her where he was


    going.


    Riley didn¡¯t know that when she would return to the hospital after such a long time, she would be


    greeted with gossip and scandals that had been silent for a long time.


    ¡°She is really Euan George¡¯s lover. It¡¯s confirmed, he personally flew a helicopter to the AIDS vige to


    pick her up. Such a show off!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s more, someone recently took pictures of her living in YJ Vi! Think about it, only celebrities


    and politicians live there, if it weren¡¯t for Euan, would she be able to live there?¡±


    ¡°Ah, so when she said she was talking leave to heal¡­ she actually¡­ hahaha!¡±


    There was no end to it! All of this was exposed again.


    However, just like the butterfly effect, the gossip, which she thought was pretty boring, brought serious


    consequences with it.


    It somehow became directly connected to her job evaluation.


    Riley received the notice and went to the dean¡¯s office. As soon as she entered, she saw several


    departmental heads sitting inside including William.


    The Dean, Boris, sighed and shook his head while holding her resume.


    ¡°Mr. Houston, why was my selection result disqualified?¡±


    Boris pushed his sses further up his nose and said regretfully, ¡°Dr. Watson, I know that your skills


    and abilities are inferior to no one. You absolutely meet the selection criteria¡­ but¡­ the professor


    must serve as a role model for others. The professors in our hospital must lead our graduate and post


    graduate students towards sess¡­ so the reputation of the professors is very important.¡±


    His meaning was obvious. She was now considered notorious, and had beenbeled with many


    horrible words like lover, mistress etc. Of course, the hospital and the school, both had problems with it.


    She didn¡¯t try to fight for herself, nor did she try to exin forcefully. Any try on her part to clear her


    name was only going to further smear it with nders. She just thanked them politely and left the office.


    Walking towards the balcony, her footsteps were dull. She had been terribly unlucky recently; how


    William¡¯s warm aura came from behind. The stifling hot summer wind blew on his face but his fragrance


    stayed clean and fresh.


    ¡°Sorry, I couldn¡¯t be of any help.¡±


    His apology softly made her feel guilty.


    ¡°It was not your responsibility. I am very grateful for all the help you have given me.¡± She responded


    tiredly, feeling mentally and physically exhausted.


    William wanted to say something more, but she didn¡¯t want to listen, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, I want to be by


    myself, please.¡±


    Her voice was cold and deep, showing the bitterness of her heart.


    ¡°Okay¡­ If there¡¯s anything I can help with, just tell me.¡±


    He was worried about her being alone, but he couldn¡¯t dare to ignore her wish.


    Riley sorted out her mood as quickly as possible and returned to the office in ten minutes.


    When Serena and Margot heard about the disqualification, they felt very bad for her and tried to cheer


    her up, ¡°Dr. Watson, don¡¯t be sad. Have faith, your hard work will definitely be rewarded someday!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just so odd that¡­ that Moriah Curry next door was selected to be a professor even with those


    abilities. she will definitely mislead all the students with her skills.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson is the real trump card. She is the best doctor!¡±


    Riley squeezed out a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t console me, I¡¯m fine! Ok? I have a lot of work and I have no time to


    think about all this.¡±


    Indeed, she did not have any time to immerse herself in grief because a secondter the internal rm


    in the emergency room rang.


    ¡°The patient is a five-year old girl who identally fell from a building causing bleeding in the heart!


    She needs emergency treatment!¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t care about internal medicine and surgery, she just picked up the stethoscope and ran over


    quickly. The pale little girl was lying in the stretcher with an oxygen mask covering most of her face.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, the patient¡¯s heartbeat has dropped suddenly! Blood pressure is unstable!¡±


    Riley held the little girl¡¯s face with both her hands and called her softly, ¡°Can you hear me?¡±


    Tears fell down the girl¡¯s face¡­ She couldn¡¯t make a sound; she could only shed tears.


    ¡°The patient is still conscious; the situation is not the worst.¡±


    ¡°Sweety, don¡¯t be afraid. We will treat you immediately and you will be fine once you wake up. Don¡¯t be


    afraid, be a good girl, okay?¡±


    Riley lowered her voice and said, ¡°Internal bleeding is apanied by a ruptured valve. Arrange for


    immediate surgery!¡±


    Just as the stretcher was about to be pushed away, the little girl suddenly grabbed one of Riley¡¯s


    fingers with all her remaining power. Riley was shocked by how strong her hold was and patted her


    hair, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. When you will wake up, I will be by your side.¡±


    The little girl let go of her hand.


    The operationsted for a long time and Riley was able keep her promise. After the girl was sent to the


    recovery ward, Riley checked the approximate recovery time. Then, she put down the medical record in


    her hand and walked over to see her.


    The girl¡¯s mother was already there sobbing quietly, unable to cry loudly. She was relieved to see Riley


    walk over.


    She held Riley¡¯s hand in gratitude, thanking her again and again.


    ¡°It¡¯s our duty, please don¡¯t be like this. Plus, I didn¡¯t even perform the surgery. If you want to thank then


    you should thank the doctor who did the surgery.¡±


    ¡°No matter what happened, my daughter is alive thanks to you! Thank you, Doctor! Thank you so


    much!¡±


    Riley checked the girl¡¯s postoperative condition. She was doing very well.


    After a while, the girl woke up. She breathed weakly and her heart still hurt.


    She grabbed Riley¡¯s finger and smiled weakly, ¡°I thought¡­ you won¡¯te to see me¡­ just like¡­


    when dad left¡­¡±


    Her father had left her and her mother a few years ago. There was no news of him since then. The little


    girl had seen a familiar figure from the balcony and thought it was her father, so she had jumped


    directly¡­

 Chapter 69 He Blurted Out Her Name

    Chapter 69 He Blurted Out Her Name


    How cruel it was to make a five-year-old girl jump down from the building?


    She was keen to have a father, her longing for her father¡¯s love had eliminated her fear. If there was no


    She was gloomy and could not describe her depression.


    Riley walked towards the caf¨¦ in the hospital after going out of the ward. She sat on the chair near the


    window, she could see the flourish French sycamore once she looked up.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how the woman thinks, she wants to abort her five-month-old baby! There is a baby boy


    in her womb, it is a pity to abort him! Furthermore, she almost reaches 30 years old, it is difficult for her


    to get pregnant again.¡±


    ¡°During herst check-up, she said that she will give birth to the baby. But she changes her mind


    suddenly, I think it must be rted to the man. I hear that they will divorce soon. Even if the child is


    born, she cannot get custody as well. It is better not to give birth to the baby, then she does not have to


    suffer the bitterness of missing her son.¡±


    ¡°Many people give birth to baby in our department every day. Some will undergo abortion, the scene is


    full of sorrow and joy, separation and reunion, it looks like a drama. Obstetrics and gynaecology


    department is indeed an amazing ce.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, a lot of works to do today.¡±


    The two doctors walked away after buying the coffee. Riley held the cup tightly and forgot to stir it.


    Every child needed a father, the child in Lydia¡¯s womb was not exempted. If she did not divorce Euan,


    Euan could not marry Lydia, the child would lose one of the parents.


    It was unfair to the child.


    The child was innocent¡­


    So, she had to divorce Euan as soon as possible for the sake of the child.


    Riley teased herself and smiled at her shadow that reflected on the window. She hated being a


    pushover, she did not expect herself to do the same thing as her.


    The waiter served her a cup of coffee, Riley wanted to hold it but it was too hot. She quickly got back


    her hand and held the handle of the cup. She blew and sipped the coffee.


    She scrolled her phone, there was no missed call and message. Euan indeed did not care about her.


    Divorce was the best choice.


    After getting off work and going home, Lydia was scolding Sophia and Lh in the living room. Her


    words were unpleasant and sarcastic, she did not even look like a daughter of an eminent family. She


    was even ruder than the vulgar women.


    ¡°This is made of silk! Prada limited edition silk scarf! How can it be washed using the washing machine!


    You don¡¯t get in touch with valuable thing before, isn¡¯t it? You are as cheap as your master!¡±


    ¡°And you, I want to have white lotus soup with lotus seed, why you put so many sugar? You want me to


    die of eating sugar, isn¡¯t it?! Don¡¯t you know that consume too much sugar will cause obesity? Don¡¯t


    you have some general knowledge? Why you stupid will be hired?!¡±


    ¡°Pick up the shells of the sunflower seeds on the rug one by one! This is the Persian rug, cannot use a


    vacuum cleaner on it, use your hand to pick them up one by one! If any part of the rug is broken, you all


    will not be able to pay for it even if you work for ten years!¡±


    Lydia ate the sunflower seeds in the living room purposely and threw the shells on the rug. The rug was


    made of soft shag material. It was difficult to pick up things from it, she asked the maids to pick them


    up. Sophia and Lh did not dare to disobey her, they could not help but kneel on the rug and picked


    up the shells.


    Riley put her shoes on the shoes rack in the hallway. She raised her head and saw a pair of bright red


    high heels on the tidy Caspanitino shoes rack. Lydia was obviously grabbing the dominant role and


    straight away treated herself as the hostess!


    Riley took her shoes and wanted to throw them out but after she thought for a while, she put them at


    the lowest rack.


    In the living room, Lydia stood under the giant chandelier, the bright crystal light made her skin look fair


    and bright.


    ¡°Sophia, Lh, what are you doing? Although the rug wasfortable, you have to get up, right?¡± Riley


    put down her bag and said naturally.


    Sophia looked at her timidly, ¡°Young mistress, it is¡­Ms Saunders who asked us to pick up the shells of


    sunflower seeds.¡±


    ¡°Really? Who is blind that threw shells onto the rug? Whoever did it should pick them up by herself.


    Sophia, pour me a cup of tea.¡±


    Lydia crossed her arms in front of her chest and walked towards her, ¡°Riley, Euan does not want to


    Riley asked Sophia to pour tea before responding to her, ¡°Lydia, your sarcasm is useless to attack me,


    don¡¯t waste your time. For Euan, you should think about the reason why he does not want toe


    back.¡±


    After saying that, Riley sat on the sofa, ¡°Lh, don¡¯t pick anymore.¡±


    Lh did not dare to get up, ¡°Young mistress, it is¡­not clean yet.¡±


    ¡°No need, throw it away, it has be a dirty rug.¡±


    Lydia scolded furiously, ¡°It is taken from the Saunders family, Riley, how dare you! Do you say that the


    stuff from the Saunders family is a dirty rug? Then, how about your Watson family? Created false


    ount and evade taxes, your younger sister often created a scandal, your family is so good!¡±


    Riley looked at Lydia¡¯s stomach, she held the teacup to conceal her sourness, ¡°Watson family is indeed


    worse than Saunders family, so what? You have Saunders family to support you, so what? You are still


    unable to marry into the George family!¡±


    ¡°Riley, your words are so vicious! It serves you right that Euan does not love you, he does not even


    inform you that he is away from home! He he, you must not know where does Euan go, what is he


    doing and when does hee back!¡±


    She indeed did not know about it, ¡°You know it?¡±


    Due to her concern, she did not know whether she was creating trouble for herself and straight away


    followed the topic.


    Lydia was arrogant, she wore a suit of tight dress. Even if she only stayed at home, she would dress


    herself up as if she was cat-walking. Her make-up remained wless from morning until night, she was


    ready to be stalked by the paparazzi and to allure man.


    She passed by the rug and sat on the sofa, she crossed her thin and long legs, ¡°Of course I know,


    Euan informed me during the first day he went out, he asked me not to worry about him and to take


    good care of our baby. Today, he tells me via the phone that I can do whatever at home and make this


    house mine. Euan is so lovely, he will concern about me even if he is busy, I¡¯m afraid that he will dote


    on me badly.¡±


    Euan did not inform anyone when he left, it was Lydia who called him frequently and asked him. Euan


    was sicked of her, he could not help but respond to her.


    For today, Euan picked up her call after Lydia called him many times.


    Lydia could feel that Euan did not treat her well recently. She used the child as an excuse to remind


    and force him to concern about her.


    But his concern did not involve any gentleness.


    Riley¡¯s heart was breaking. All in all, she did not hold a position in Euan¡¯s heart, he would not treat her


    as his wife.


    He concerned more for Lydia than concerned about her. He treated Riley dominantly, not gentle at all.


    Her heart was cracking, she was depressed, her tears almost fell but she controlled it, ¡°That¡¯s great.¡±


    After finishing her words, Riley walked upstairs, the spiral staircase connected to the second floor. Riley


    walked up a few staircases¡ª¡ª


    Was there any love existed between Euan and her?


    Did Euan love her even for one day, one minute or one second?


    ¡°Riley, your bedroom is downstairs! Why do you go up? If you jump down from there and be


    handicapped, you will not want to leave here, right?¡±


    She was absent-minded when thought of Euan, she did not notice that she had walked up the stairs


    and being satirized by Lydia instantly. Riley did not turn her head and responded, ¡°I am walking to the


    study room. Don¡¯t worry, I will not step into the room if your belongings are put there.¡±


    Lydia sat on the sofa, she raised her head and teased her, ¡°Then you will not have the opportunity to


    go in forever! Hum, study room? You fake for what? He he, I nearly forget that Dr Watson is failed to


    be a professor, are you going to study hard for your second attempt? Ha ha, it is useless, your


    personality and reputation are bad. Do you still want to be a professor? Look at your pattern first!¡±


    Riley pressed the handrail with her fingers, the hard wood was almost broke by her, ¡°Lydia, have you


    finished talking? Shut up your mouth if you have finished talking! I don¡¯t want to quarrel with you and


    fight with you, you better take care of your womb nicely, then we will be safe and sound.¡±


    That night, Riley could not sleep well. She got up and opened the window of her bedroom balcony, she


    sat on the chair. The summer wind caressed her face and blew the thin curtain and her silk pyjamas.


    The night was alluring, no one was fond of her beauty.


    At the moment, she missed him, she missed him so much! She missed his arms, strong yet indifferent


    arms but she knew that they would be totally separated one day.


    Her phone did not show any of his missed calls and messages.


    What reason could she use to call him? She would disturb him if she called him, wasn¡¯t it?


    She looked powerful in the day while she was totally depressed in the tranquil night. Riley knew that


    she was nothing but a fake superwoman.


    To force herself to sleep, she turned off her phone and pulled the nnel curtain that can block the light.


    She adjusted the air-conditioner temperature higher, covered herself with the nket and slept soundly.


    However, she did not know that Euan who was faraway in City A could not sleep well. It showed ¡°power


    off¡± of the iing call.


    Euan turned around and left the balcony. In the VIP suite of the Hilton Hotel, a straightened silhouette


    was shaking a wine cup.


    He found that after he left her, he could not sleep well if there was no alcohol to hypnotize him.


    But for the woman, she must sleep well when he was not around, right?


    Euan took his phone again, he called her but only the robot sound was heard, ¡°Sorry, the number you


    dial is unavable¡­¡±


    Just then, Lydia called him.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Euan was annoyed when looked at her name, he frowned and flipped his phone, did not want to care.


    No one picked up her call, she kept calling him. Finally, Euan was upset and picked up her call, ¡°Riley,


    what do you want?¡±


    Lydia who was lying on the bed was dumbfounded!


    Euan froze his words and movement, he blurted out her name just now?


    Oh shit! What was he thinking?


    ¡°Euan, Riley that annoying woman disturbs you again, isn¡¯t it? She does not know her identity well¡­¡±


    ¡°Lydia, if I hear you scolding her again, you must get lost immediately.¡±

 Chapter 70 She Convinced Everyone With Her Medical Skills

    Chapter 70 She Convinced Everyone With Her Medical Skills


    The next day, Riley got up early. Lydia did not practise yoga anymore when Riley had stopped staying


    upte to finish her thesis, which made Riley even angrier.


    She looked up at the spiral stairs. Lydia was lying in their bed. She had taken away her ce, but she


    was calm about it now.


    ¡°Mrs. George¡­¡±


    Sophia came from the kitchen, and she looked uneasy when she saw Riley.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Sophia had a long struggle, ¡°Mrs. George, actually I received a call from the young master the night


    before yesterday and he wanted to speak to you. I was about to call you to answer the phone call, but


    Ms. Saunders came and snatched away the phone. She told the young master that you have slept, and


    she warned me if I dared to tell you, she¡¯ll stop me from work¡­¡±


    Huh?


    ¡°Stop crying. This matter ends here. I¡¯ll pretend that I don¡¯t know about it.¡±


    ¡°Really? Thank you, Mrs. George¡­You have helped me a lot, and I feel bad if I don¡¯t tell you about


    this. Mrs. George, I¡¯ll not repeat the same mistake. Please don¡¯t ask me to leave.¡±


    Riley took the bag and smiled at her, ¡°I won¡¯t ask you to leave. But all of you better be prepared to


    leave. Okay, you can go ahead and finish your work.¡±


    She wouldn¡¯t ask them to leave but asking them to prepare to leave. What did Mrs. George mean?


    Why did Euan call her? Why didn¡¯t he call her again?


    Riley changed into her white coat in the changing room and went to the ward. She strode, and her high


    heels made crisp sounds on the tiles.


    In Jeanne¡¯s office.


    ¡°Lydia, you and I should work together. Riley will not only get out of the George family. Her reputation


    will be ruined too. Wait and see.¡±


    ¡°You are the best, Jeanne. Thanks for your help when they are electing the professor, even a bitch like


    Riley wants to be a professor? Huh, why wouldn''t she just go and die?"


    ¡°Okay, be careful. Take advantage of these few days when Euan is not at home and teach her some


    lessons. I think that Euan has some feelings for her too. You have to attract Euan fully and make him


    dump her soon!¡±


    ¡°I will!¡±


    After hanging up the call, Jeanne tapped on Riley¡¯s profile with her finger and sneered.


    Actually, Riley took a major in surgery in her university, and she had done many sessful surgeries


    during her university life. She was a promising surgeon, butter she transferred to be a doctor who


    was major in internal medicine.


    Jeanne did not know or did not care about the reason. But Riley was going to be in trouble soon!


    Riley heard the rm from the emergency room when she returned to the office after rounding the


    ward. She ran towards the elevator and pressed on the ground floor button before she could even put


    down the reports. She dashed towards the emergency hall when she was on the ground floor.


    The wind blew her white coat up, revealing her vaguely visible slender leg under the skirt.


    It was a serial ident again!


    ¡°Dr. Watson, the patient¡­¡±


    Riley strode over, ¡°He is having apound fracture on his thigh bone, apanied by the fracture


    on the pelvic bone. Prepare for the CT scan, blood test and inject him with drips. Check if there is any


    dural hemorrhage using the CT scan and prepare to join his bones.¡±


    ¡°The patient has a heart stasis. Prepare for blood pumping. Quick!¡±


    ¡°Riley, what are you doing? The patient was crushed in the heart when his car overturned, and he was


    obviously having a cardiac rupture. Just send him to the surgeon for surgery!¡±


    Moriah Curry?


    Riley nced at her and continued saying, ¡°Give me the suction pump. Prepare for suction!¡±


    Moriah Curry snatched away the equipment in her hand, ¡°Riley, are you insane? I said you should send


    him for surgery now!¡±


    ¡°Dr. Curry, the patient¡¯s heart was indeed crushed in the ident, but his heart was not ruptured. The


    pressure was on the inner wall of his chest. The bleeding had covered the heart. We have to suck out


    the contaminated blood now. Give me the equipment!"


    Moriah Curry sneered, ¡°Dr. Watson, am I the professor or you? I am asking you to leave the patient and


    hand it over to the surgeon! The operation must be done for such a situation!¡±


    Fuck! She was using that method to threaten her in such a desperate situation.


    ¡°Professor Curry, I¡¯ll be responsible for this patient!¡±


    Moriah Curry clenched her teeth, ¡°Riley, you are not respecting me! It is because I was chosen and you


    failed! Huh!¡±


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Riley was toozy to reply to her, ¡°Prepare for the suction!¡±


    The medical staff in the emergency department had known Riley well. They had always been greatly


    confident with her skills, and what she said was never wrong.


    The patient¡¯s heartbeat finally returned to normal when Riley sucked out the blood stasis in the


    patient¡¯s body.


    After taking a deep breath, Riley handed the equipment to the nurse, ¡°The patient is experiencing a


    slight nervouspression. Send him to the CT room.¡±


    Moriah Curry clenched her teeth, ¡°Dr. Watson, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I, as a


    professor is nothing in front of an assistant professor like you?¡±


    Riley ignored her and said to the nurse, ¡°Next patient.¡±


    The nurse ignored Moriah Curry too. Although she kept mentioning she was a professor, but her skills


    were not qualified, just like the on-site emergency treatment just now.


    Her personality was also bad.


    The deputy director informed them they would be having an emergency meeting, so Riley and the other


    doctors went to the meeting room together.


    Jeanne spoke out first, ¡°There are two patients sent in today which have a quite simr special case.


    But one of them is a key member of the military troops and the other¡­¡±


    William looked at the expressionless Riley and said to Jeanne, ¡°Ms. Pouchain, the main problem now is


    not the patients¡¯ identity, but whether our medical team can perform two operations at the same time.¡±


    That was an operation with high difficulty¡­


    Riley said nothing. She guessed that it might be because they had not enough staff members.


    Jeanne smiled and said, ¡°Actually, the internal medicine doctors have surgery experiences and could


    assist the surgeons in surgery, for example, Dr. Curry, who was just elected as a professor.¡±


    Riley was shocked. Was Moriah Curry going to perform a surgery with her skills?


    Then, Jeanne looked at Riley and said with a slightly high pitch, ¡°And we have a doctor that we are


    familiar with. She was always the backbone of the internal medicine department, and would certainly


    bring great help to the surgery department, right, Dr. Riley?¡±


    What?!


    Riley looked at Jeanne in shock, ¡°Me?¡±


    William interrupted her, ¡°Since Dr. Watson is the backbone of the internal medicine department, it is


    better if she sticks on to her post. We can arrange other surgeons for the surgery.¡±


    Jeanne firmly disagreed, ¡°This surgery is very crucial and critical. Dr. Watson, you wouldn¡¯t refuse this,


    would you?¡±


    The meeting room was in silence. Riley looked at her hand and said nothing.


    She raised her head and saw William looking at her. His stare was gentle. He was patiently waiting for


    her, not urging her even a bit.


    Jeanne tried to put her in a difficult situation, ¡°Dr. Watson, do you have any inconvenience that you


    could not say, which made you unable to perform the surgery?"


    William interrupted her coldly, ¡°Ms. Pouchain, Dr. Watson is already an outstanding internal medicine


    doctor. She does not need to prove herself more. Okay. That¡¯s it.¡±


    William¡¯s special care for Riley was so obvious that even Riley could sense it, not to say the other


    colleague.


    Jeanne was irritated. What did Riley do to William that he sided her so much?


    The rm from the intensive care unit suddenly rang. William and Riley almost stood up at the same


    time, ¡°The patient is in danger!¡±


    William immediately issued an order, ¡°Prepare for the surgery now. Carry both the operations at the


    same time. Dr. Smith, we will each perform a surgery. You lead the surgery and select your first


    assistant. Inform the anesthesiology department.¡±


    Before Dr. Smith could speak, Moriah Curry took the initiative and said, ¡°Dr. Smith, I¡¯ll be your


    assistant.¡±


    Dr. Smith was not sure, ¡°You? Can you do it?¡±


    Moriah Curry stood up and smiled at him, ¡°Dr. Smith, the title of professor is not just an election. Don¡¯t


    you believe in me?¡±


    Riley clenched her fist. How was she elected?


    Of course, if she knew the crucial vote was from Jeanne, she would not doubt it.


    Dr. Smith nodded, ¡°Okay, follow me then.¡±


    Jeanne said, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, arge number of medical staff had been in charge of the ident case


    just now, and there is no other suitable staff now¡­¡±


    Only Riley was left.


    William looked at Riley. She had been his assistant, he believed that they knew each other well, and


    Riley was capable of the position of his assistant. He smiled gently, ¡°Dr. Riley, would you like to be my


    first assistant.¡±


    Riley had no time to push around, and she nodded, ¡°Okay!¡±


    In the operating room, she changed into the blue surgery uniform. Riley¡¯s heart was pounding faster


    than usual. She loved this uniform. She loved to perform the surgery to remove the patients¡¯ source of


    pain and sickness from its roots. She loved the surgery department, but not as an assistant.


    William nodded at her, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. Believe in yourself.¡±


    Riley nodded. Although she had no experience in performing major surgeries, she had been practising


    with simtion every day, repeating her experiences in the past.


    A tough battle began.


    ¡°Scalpel¡­¡±


    Then, seeing William calmly and skillfully performing the dissection skills inspired Riley. She was not


    tutor!


    The atmosphere in the operating room was tensed. Everyone was nervous. William was skillfully


    performing the surgery and was trying to make everyone calm down, ¡°Rx, these intestines and lungs


    are your acquaintances. Don¡¯t feel so awkward as if you were meeting them for the first time.¡±


    Riley did not know what to respond.


    The metaphor was amazing.


    The anesthetist smiled, ¡°I did not expect Mr. Hardesty to be so humorous.¡±


    William asked, ¡°Hemostatic forceps please.¡± Then he continued, ¡°If you are not familiar with it, then


    Poof!


    Riley almost burst out withughter. Saying that the patient¡¯s intestines were still warm! William, are


    you aedian instead of a cold and handsome man?


    Sure enough, the atmosphere in the operating room was much more rxed. The operation was


    extremelyplicated, which would take about seven to eight hours. They would be exhausted in a


    while if they were silently operating.


    ¡°Suck the blood please.¡±


    Riley reached out and sucked away the blood that was blocking the organs.


    William looked at Riley in surprise. Her skills shocked him! She was fast and precise. What was she


    doing before she was an internal medicine doctor?¡±


    The blood stasis condition could not be avoided in the surgery of recovering the ventricr critical


    splitting. It needed the main surgeon and the assistant to work well. Otherwise, if the organs were


    blocked then it would be difficult to operate.


    Riley nodded, ¡°It¡¯s ready.¡±


    ¡°Okay, start!¡±


    The handover was only for a moment, and the blood was removed. Williampleted the crucial


    procedure beautifully with the help of the scalpel!


    The operation ended smoothly. William said softly, ¡°I haven¡¯t had enough of this and want to finish it up.


    Dr. Watson, you can leave first.¡±


    At the same time, the phone on the wall of the operating room rang.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, I need some support! Arrange a new first assistant for me! Quick!¡±


    Something happened! Riley¡¯s guess was right!


    ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡±

 Chapter 71 Euan’s First ever Text Message

    Chapter 71 Euan¡¯s First ever Text Message


    Riley took off her gloves and the nurse put on a new pair.


    In the operating room next door, the patient¡¯s heartbeat was dropping sharply, seemingly as if it would


    soon stoppletely.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Riley entered inside and Robert nced at Moriah and cursed mercilessly, ¡°You are doing an operation


    with just such skill? Saving life is not a game! Get out of here!¡±


    Moriah gritted her teeth and said, ¡°It¡¯s not my fault that the patient¡¯s heart is bleeding, it is your bad skill


    and yet you me me!¡±


    ¡°Get out of here!¡± Robert was furious; if he wasn¡¯t currently operating on someone then he would be


    shoving her out right now.


    Riley stepped in for Moriah and said calmly, ¡°Dr. Smith, let¡¯s try to remain calm, can we begin now?¡±


    ¡°Yes, let¡¯s draw some blood!¡±


    Whoosh!


    Her nimble technique really amazed Robert.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Dr. Smith wanted to ask who she was but Riley then said directly, ¡°Mr. Smith, we¡¯re still not at


    the point we need to be at, please continue on.¡±


    ¡°Got it.¡±


    Only byparison would you notice that Dr. Smith¡¯s speed was only half that of William¡¯s, but he was


    called the best doctor in their department, so it seemed that in the future he could to be reced.


    ¡°Preparing to¡­ invert the left atrium.¡±


    After Riley inverted the left atrium with ease, it was then easy for him to handle the next step.


    This time Dr. Smith was even more surprised, he wondered just how many times she had done this


    now?


    With Riley here partaking in the operation, the rest of the operation went very sessfully. Dr. Smith


    smiled and said, ¡°Well I will leave the rest for you, is that alright?¡±


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s fine.¡±


    ¡°Thank you Dr. Watson.¡±


    Dr. Smith then walked out of the operating room and when he saw William sitting outside who had


    clearly just been operating for a very long time, he gave a heartfelt smile and said, ¡°I had no idea that


    there would be such an exceptional talent hidden within the internal medicine department. Mr.


    Hardesty, would it be alright for her to join my team and be my deputy?¡±


    William smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m very sorry but I¡¯m afraid she has already been imed by another.¡±


    The cooperation between them was exceptional, so as long as Riley was willing then if she wanted she


    could immediately transfer to the surgical department.


    Robert then frowned and said, ¡°As for that Moriah, I really just cannot understand how she was


    awarded the title of professor! Well, I think from now on it would be better to stay away from those who


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    pretend to be better than they actually are.¡±


    William thought deeply after hearing this, at the time of the selection Ms. Pouchain strongly supported


    Moriah to be chosen, so how was it possible she could be this bad?


    Riley was sewing on the stiches onto the patient with ease, she had continued to made every


    achievement all these years and has never faltered, she simply was a born surgeon!


    The anaesthesiologist and instrumentalist next to her were both dumbfounded.


    After the two operations performed ended sessfully, her body was aching slightly, her face was both


    pale and soaked with sweat for she hadn¡¯t taken a break for twelve hours now¡­


    When she finally came out of operating room 5 it was already 10:30pm. With two operations in


    session and ack of sleep from the night before, she truly looked exhausted.


    Once she took off her mask, you could see she had lost all colour from her face.


    ¡°How are you doing?¡±


    William couldn¡¯t help but support her arm with his hand which shocked Riley slightly who took a step


    back, ¡°I¡¯m fine, why is it that you are still here?¡¯


    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for a member of my team.¡±


    Riley looked back and saw a couple of doctors steering the patient out of the room, ¡°They¡¯re inside?¡±


    William shook his head, ¡°She¡¯s alreadye out, it¡¯s just she doesn¡¯t know this yet.¡±


    Riley was silent for a while until she said, ¡°Are you talking about me? You are mistaken Mr. Hardesty, I


    am a member of the internal medicine department.¡±


    ¡°There is no distinction between the internal medicine and surgery department. You are very skilled and


    I think your talents are better suited towards doing surgery. I won¡¯t force you to do anything but I hope


    that you will consider it carefully and be my deputy. Perhaps you would like to do surgeries


    yourself one day, and if so I would be happy to help and support you.¡±


    To learn together with him was a once in a life time opportunity, but¡­


    ¡°No thank you, I don¡¯t think I will ever pick up a scalpel again in the future, but thank you very much for


    your kindness.¡±


    Riley then dragged her exhausted body away however William decided to follow behind her, ¡°You


    clearly have very unique talents, so why is it that you are declining this offer?¡±


    It was clear that he genuinely meant what he was saying and appreciated her talents which moved her


    very much.


    ¡°Is it because of him? Your¡­husband?¡± William said thest word rather distressed.


    Riley made no reaction to this, ¡°My life does not revolve around my husband you know.¡±


    When she got to the office there was no one else inside. Riley rubbed her forehead and sat down on


    the chair staring nkly at her hand. Her right hand was trembling slightly, but fortunately when she


    was stitching back up the patient she was able to pull herself together and finish the task with no hitch.


    The sweat on her face just now was due to the tingling pain she felt in her hands but she wouldn¡¯t let


    him know this.


    After taking a few moments for rest she picked up her phone and once she had turned it on her


    eyebrows immediately creased.


    There were over twenty missed calls disyed on the screen and all of them were from Euan!


    Her first reaction was disbelief; she then thought she was just imagining things. She even pped her


    face a few times.


    But it was true.


    Apart from the calls she also had gotten a text message.


    After three years with no text message from him, she finally had received one.


    This was the first time he had called her more than twenty times in a row, along with his first ever text


    message!


    It wrote, ¡®When you get this message please give me a call back.¡±


    When Riley saw the text message a pleasant feeling arose within her, and for a moment she


    narcissistically thought that Euan was showing concern for her.


    Because she was operating for so long she was unable to be contacted, so was he just worried?


    With this thought in mind, Riley was preparing to call him back but then she realized that it was almost


    11pm at night and thought would she be waking him up?


    Business trips were always exhausting.


    However, Riley found that she couldn¡¯t help thinking about him and decided to call him back.


    After a long series of ringing sounds,she became more nervous, still no one wasing to answer the


    phone.


    Was he really asleep? Riley felt a little disappointed and was about to hang up when the call suddenly


    went through. She was so excited that she shouted out his name ¡°Euan¡­¡±


    She didn¡¯t even have time to finish saying his name when a sharp woman¡¯s voice was heard that


    obviously didn¡¯t belong to Euan.


    ¡°What is your problem? Why exactly are you calling sote?¡±


    It was Lydia who had answered the phone, but how was it possible that she had his phone? When


    Euan went on business trips didn¡¯t he stay at home? In addition it really was veryte so why did she


    have his phone? Did this mean that the two of them were sleeping together this evening?


    ¡°Where is Euan? Could you give the phone to him?¡±


    Riley tried her best to sound calm even though she was panicking inside.


    She regretted not bringing her phone into the operating room and med herself for not being able to


    answer any of his many calls.


    But she couldn¡¯t let Lydia know what she was feeling.


    Lydia sneered and said rather mischievously, she pretended to make a sound like she was turning her


    body on the bed and said, ¡°Of course Euan is asleep at such ate hour, but if you have something you


    want to say to him then I would be happy to convey the message for you.¡±


    Imitating Riley¡¯s tone made her sarcasm obvious.


    She waited quietly for Riley¡¯s reaction, she was hoping that Riley would go crazy and lose all control so


    she could record the conversation and then listen to it together with Euan. Was there still much time


    until they would not be together anymore?


    However Riley didn¡¯t react this way at all, she had countless things she wanted to say but instead she


    held back, and because she was tired just answered, ¡°Alright, then just let him continue sleeping.¡±


    Once she had said this she hung up the phone.


    After putting down the phone, Riley sneered at herself, so in the end it seemed that Euan wasn¡¯t calling


    her because he was concerned for her? Otherwise why would he be sleeping with Lydia?


    She then closed her eyes, she was exhausted both physically and mentally and her right hand was


    beginning to tingle again, and this time the pain was even more unbearable.


    ¡°Ah¡±


    The piercing tingling sensation wasing from her hand. It seemed that overworking today had


    caused an old injury to re up, and if this continued then her injury will only get worse.


    Riley got up and ran outside.


    In the YJ Vi, in the living room.


    Taking the opportunity before Euan came; Lydia hurriedly deleted the call history and put his phone


    back into the same position.


    In one of the vi¡¯s halls at night, Euan wasing down from the study on the second floor. The


    grand crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling gave off the feeling that this was a hall from a


    medieval castle.


    Therefore, as Euan walked down the stairs with his tall and lean figure, his exquisite looks were


    radiating, he looked both so humble and noble.


    Lydia stood up and looked at Euan with clear adoration and infatuation, this man; she thought that no


    matter what she must hold onto him!


    ¡°Euan, are you finished with everything you had to do?¡±


    Lydia smiled sweetly at him.


    But Euan just responded with azy, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Lydia rushed over to him put her two hands on his arms and said, ¡°Since you are all done, let¡¯s go get


    some rest. It¡¯s already veryte.¡±


    Euan was about to go get some rest but seeing Lydia, he didn¡¯t feel tired anymore and instead pushed


    her hands away and said, ¡°Actually I still have something I need to do, how about you go get some


    rest.¡±


    Lydia started to act coquettishly and used her soft hands to slowly stroke his chest, ¡°Euan, I¡¯ve been


    waiting specially for you, you¡¯ve been away from home for so long now and you¡¯ve finallye back.


    So please let me apany you tonight, ok?¡±


    Euan took away her hands, ¡°You are pregnant, it¡¯s best if you rest early and go to sleep.¡±


    ¡°Euan¡­¡±


    ¡°Go to sleep.¡±


    Lydia didn¡¯t dare insist again and instead obediently agreed, ¡°Well, you should try get some rest too.¡±


    Euan sat down on the sofa and picked up his phone having forgotten it was there. When he turned it on


    he saw there were no new messages.


    He had tried contacting her countless times so it was impossible for her not to notice, and he had


    clearly stated that once she reads his message, was she doing this purposely because of her anger


    with him ? She should call him back.


    Did something happen to her? Or was she still busy?


    But no matter how busy someone was, you always had time to check your phone right?


    He hadn¡¯t heard from Riley in the past few days since he had returned home, could she not even send


    a message?


    Even though he had sent her a text message, she still was unmoved by this?


    Was the thought of divorce so strong that she wanted nothing more than for him to nevere back?


    Still holding the phone he began to pace up and down the living room until he ended up walking down


    the corridor towards the first room on the corner, which was her room.


    Euan stretched out his hand, turned the door handle and realizing the door was unlocked, it opened


    with a click.

 Chapter 72 A Domineering Euan Barged Into The Bathroom

    Chapter 72 A Domineering Euan Barged Into The Bathroom


    The room smelled slightly of disinfectants mixed with a faint scent of gardenia.


    Beyond the window was a night sky full of stars. Euan pushed the door to the balcony open and sat on


    the chair she usually sat before. On the table, there was the ss which he used to drink water. And


    out the window into the horizons was the flowers she had seen before.


    In the early summer, flowers bloomed in the garden. However, Euan wrinkled his brows at the view.


    Where were the gardenias in the garden? He remembered nting them before. How could there be


    nothing during the blooming season?


    Euan¡¯s eyelids were gradually getting heavier, and when he couldn¡¯t suppress his fatigue anymore, he


    In the hospital.


    Riley gave herself a dose of injection, which finally relieved the pain on her left arm. Then, she


    massaged each acupoint ording to the Chinese technique. Soon after, her limbs could move freely


    again.


    It was already one o¡¯clock in the morning. Riley wasn¡¯t on duty tonight, so she better hurry to bed to


    avoid feeling dead sleepy tomorrow.


    While covering her mouth to yawn, Riley saw William came down from the elevator!


    ¡°Dr. Watsom?¡±


    Before Riley could avoid William, he had already seen her. This was what Riley was most worried


    about.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, you¡¯re here too. Why haven¡¯t you gotten off work yet?¡±


    William still had his white coat on. It seemed that he wasn¡¯t getting off work any time soon.


    ¡°The patient who undergone surgery today is still in the ICU. I stayed to observe the patient¡¯s condition


    just in case anything were to happen. The patient is recovering well though.¡±


    Riley nodded. Many patients were lucky enough to meet excellent doctors who managed to bring them


    out from the surgery room, but some never left the ICU ever again.


    William took a look at the time, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you home yet?¡± You¡¯re not on shift tonight. But you need to


    rest well, you are working tomorrow.¡±


    Riley nodded, ¡°I¡¯m nning to sleep in the doctor¡¯s lounge and get to work right after waking up.¡±


    ¡°No way. The doctor¡¯s lounge is too ufortable. Look at how terrible yourplexion is. You better


    get a good rest.¡±


    Although Riley didn¡¯t have a mirror, she guessed she was probably looking awful right now.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Soooo, I¡¯ll go and rest first.¡±


    Seeing how stubborn she was on the matter, William felt angry, but he couldn¡¯t bear to see her like that,


    ¡°Here¡¯s the key to the top floor. I¡¯ll be going hometer.¡±


    Without caring about what she would say, he gave her the keys to the executive lounge, ¡°I know what


    you are worried about. But your health is more important than how others view you. Staying upte is


    harmful enough to your body, and you still need to face the patients tomorrow, which would require


    After giving her the keys, he walked away directly.


    Looking at the keys, Riley shook her head andughed helplessly. Oh, William, why are you doing this?


    Sleepiness was taking over Riley¡¯s mind, so she didn¡¯t care that much anymore. She still had to treat


    patients tomorrow, and she should think for them.


    She did not sleep on his bed but chose toy down on the long couch in the living room and entered


    dreand.


    It should be no problem if she sneaked out before everyone got to work.


    The next morning, Riley woke up and washed up in a hurry. After that, she realized it was only five


    o¡¯clock in the morning.


    Should she continue to sleep or¡­?


    Riley was in a dilemma.


    Upon tugging at the cor of her shirt, she frowned. She sweated a lot during the operation yesterday.


    Last night, she was too tired to realize this but right now, Riley was going mad because of the stench.


    She decided to go home and change first.


    Riley hailed a cab at the hospital entrance, and when the taxi driver asked for her destination, she said


    ¡®YJ Vi¡¯ even though she wanted to return to her apartment initially. Then, she fell asleep right away.


    When the car stopped, she woke up, dazed at how fast time passed when she was sleeping!


    In the vi, Euan frowned as he got up from Riley¡¯s bed. It was not even six in the morning yet.


    The sky was already brightening up. Euan rubbed his temple and came out from her bedroom.


    She didn¡¯te homest night!


    Riley, upon entering the vi, met eyes with Euan!


    He had a ss of water in his hand while he stood in the living room. Riley stopped before the shoe


    racks, almost forgetting to take off her shoes. The two just looked at each other, and it felt like


    something was burning in the air.


    When she came back to her senses, she bent down and removed her shoes. On the shoe rack, she


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    saw his ck Versace shoes, and next to it was a pair of red Chanel heels.


    Lydia¡¯s?


    She didn¡¯t know what she was thinking and used her shoes to push the heels to the side, making way


    for her own as she put her shoes next to Euan¡¯s.


    ¡°You didn¡¯te homest night. Riley Watson, is it that fun out there?!¡±


    His voice wasced with anger as heshed out his dissatisfaction towards her for not answer his texts


    and calls.


    He looked cold and distant, and on his face, she even found traces of disgust for her because she did


    note homest night. All his words were mocking and showed his indifference towards her.


    In an instant, she felt like a joke for squeezing her shoes between the other two pairs earlier.


    His indifference crushed her excitedness and expectations.


    ¡°Lydia and you are like newlyweds. I didn¡¯t return homest night, but that provided both of you a


    private space. You guys spent the beautiful night together, so¡­what are you unsatisfied about?¡±


    Her heart was in pain. She was mad. But upon thinking of how gentle he was with Lydiast night, and


    how cold he was towards her this morning, she would never show him her jealousy.


    Being jealous meant she cared, and being indifferent meant the total opposite.


    Euan heard the sarcasm in her tone. It wasn¡¯t surprising for her to assume that he and Lydia had slept


    togetherst night. But other than mocking him like an outsider, she didn¡¯t seem to feel aggrieved at all.


    She really didn¡¯t care anymore. Even if he had sex with Lydiast night, she wouldn¡¯t feel hurt either.


    At this thought, Euan burned with fury. He was now outraged as he tightened his grip on the ss and


    sneered, ¡°You are the madame of the George family, and you must always remember that no matter


    what you do, you must not make yourself seem like an immodest woman.¡±


    Riley looked up at the beautiful man under the lights. She couldn¡¯t avert her gaze at all, her heart was


    thumping loudly, but there was no expression on her face. Euan called her an immodest woman?


    How much must he disdain her to say such words?


    ¡°This is a little unfair, Euan. Women have to be loyal in their marriages, but men didn¡¯t need to.¡±


    Her tone wasced with mockery, and exhaustion which was too much for her.


    Euan smirked coldly, ¡°You are jealous?¡±


    Riley shrugged, ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s that. If you want to check my whereabouts, just go to the hospital


    and investigate all you want. But immodest is not a good word, Euan. You need to use it carefully.¡±


    So, she was in the hospital the whole night?


    Then why didn¡¯t she pick up the phone?


    Euan wanted to ask further, but Riley had already dragged her tired feet to the end of the hallway.


    Whatever the reason was, Euan was relieved when he knew that she didn¡¯te home because of


    work. At the same time, he was displeased.


    Why did he seem to care more about this ignorant woman now?


    He gulped down the ss of water in his hand, looking as if he was drinking alcohol. He sucked in a


    deep breath and turned around, prepared to take a shower.


    Riley returned to her room and smelled the scent of tequ in the air. The smell was even more


    pungent on the bedsheet.


    She must be crazy from thinking about him! Why would he evene in here?


    She picked up a towel and went to the bathroom on the opposite side as she didn¡¯t have a shower in


    her room. Fortunately, there was a luxurious, renovated bathroom here which was convenient and


    Riley removed her clothes, then got into the bathtub with a massage function. Her whole body was


    sore, and she thought of rxing in the tub first before going to work.


    After getting into the tub and the mist surrounded her, Riley¡¯s furrowed eyebrows finally returned to


    their original positions. She simply closed her eyes and enjoyed the gentle massage in the bathtub.


    Rileyughed in mockery midway. It turned out only the bathtub couldfort her amidst her


    exhaustion.


    Euan ascended the stairs to the second floor. Just as he was about to enter the master bedroom to


    shower, he remembered that Lydia was still sleeping. Frowning, he released the doorknob and went to


    the cloakroom to get a new towel. He would just use the bathroom on the first floor!


    He was in a dilemma. His feelings for Lydia were slowly deteriorating. The closer she was to him, the


    more he wanted to push her away.


    But for Riley, the further she was from him, the more he wanted her in his arms!


    Damn it! He didn¡¯t like this feeling at all.


    The bathroom door on the first floor was closed, but no sound came from within. Euan turned the


    doorknob and strode in.


    Upon entering, the lingering mist surrounded him immediately. He frowned and soon, saw Riley who


    was resting in the bathtub with her eyes closed!


    In the hot and misty bathroom, there was Riley who had removed her clothes, with her hands ced on


    both sides of the tub. Crystal-like droplets of water hung on her fair arms.


    The bubbles in the tub blocked the curves on her body, but her neck and corbone which were


    exposed in the air were even more seductive.


    Euan pulled and closed the bathroom door silently and took a step forward uncontrobly. The


    bathroom had a transparent window at the back of it, allowing the people inside to look at the flowers


    out there. The bathtub was huge enough to fit three to four people, and this only enhanced the charm


    of Riley, who was currentlyying in there.


    On the other hand, Riley was immersed in her thoughts. She thought of the incidents for the past three


    years, from her own situation, the criticisms of those around her to the Watson Residence view. Her


    heart was in a knot.


    She did not realize someone had entered the bathroom at all.


    Euan looked down at her face that was red from the heat, and her hair that was dripping with water¡­


    The lower part of his abdomen tightened all of a sudden, and he felt fire all over his body. He was


    turned on in an instant.


    It was always like this when it came to her. He tried to suppress the feeling on his lower abdomen as


    his brows furrowed tightly together.


    ¡°Click.¡±


    The sound of the belt unclicking woke Riley up. In shock, she widened her eyes. Before she could lift


    her head, a pair of long legs donned in ck pants entered her sight from her peripheral vision.


    Her eyes rounded, and when she looked up, she saw Euan¡¯s charming face amidst the mist, as well as


    his hands which were unbuckling his belt.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Initially, she wanted to ask him in a questioning tone. But it all happened too abruptly, and when she


    spoke, her voice sounded nervous and gentle. Rather than questioning him, it seemed that she was


    excited about his presence.


    Cr*p! She was not excited at all. What if he misunderstood her?


    Euan continued to remove his belt, then his pants, revealing a pair of long legs. Barefooted, he took a


    step forward while his hands started unbuttoning his dress shirt slowly.


    At this moment, Riley¡¯s mind finally cleared up from the shock she suffered, ¡°Euan, what are you


    doing? Didn¡¯t you see that I am taking a shower? Could you go out first?¡±

 Chapter 73 I Can Give You Whatever You Want

    Chapter 73 I Can Give You Whatever You Want


    Her voice became a little nervous and she couldn¡¯t speak fluently.


    Euan unbuttoned all the buttons of his white shirt without any expressions on his face. He suddenly


    shook his shoulders to take off the shirt and threw it on the floor.


    ¡°This bathroom is big enough for you and me. I am not avoiding you, so you¡¯d better keep your mouth


    shut.¡±


    Ugh!


    Riley submerged herself in the water even further, only showing her neck and face above the surface.


    Fortunately, she had poured some bubble bath in the tub, otherwise she would have been really


    embarrassed.


    ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t like to take baths with others. You can go upstairs to take a bath. Is the bathroom in the


    second-floor bedroom not enough for you?¡±


    ¡°Lydia is sleeping there. A good undisturbed sleep is very important in pregnancy. Do you want me to


    disturb her sleeping?¡± Euan said hypocritically.


    Riley suddenly felt forlorn,So that was how it was.


    ¡°Really heart-moving!In that case. Give me a minute and I will go out.¡±


    Euan pursed his lips angrily, ¡°Be tactful and lie down obediently, otherwise I won¡¯t let you go out easily.¡±


    She really didn¡¯t know what he was thinking!


    Riley¡¯s throat constricted nervously. ¡®He will not begin to act like a beast here, right?¡¯


    She gritted her teeth, ¡°I have to go to work in a while, so¡­ you can take a shower over there, I¡¯ll be


    done soon.¡±


    The corners of Euan¡¯s mouth lifted in mockery, ¡°Are you afraid that I would get in with you?¡±


    The bathroom was almost like it was in open-air. Although the inside could not be seen from the


    outside, it had already been a bright morning outside . Riley tried her best to not look at this handsome


    man who was taking a shower.


    Gritting her teeth, Riley tilted her head to the side, looking away. She dared not to look at him,and left


    him alone.


    Euan hummed softly. Her avoiding gaze indescribably stabbed him in his heart, ¡°Look at me.¡±


    What a hobby!


    ¡°I am sorry, but I am not interested.¡± She gritted her teeth. Damn him! Her mouth felt dry and parched


    even in the tub full of water.


    Great!


    The water level was still below the edge when suddenly a huge man got in¡­


    The water flowed over the edges with a sshing sound. The bathtub was huge and Riley upied


    just a corner. However, when Euan joined in suddenly, the space suddenly became very small and


    cramped!


    He seemed to have upied the bathtubpletely!


    Bending her legs to avoid touching him, Riley reached out for the towel to wrap herself up .


    Damn it! The towel was hung far away. She couldn¡¯t reach it unless she got out of the tub!


    Euan straightened his long legs, making more water ssh out!


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Euan, what¡¯s wrong with you?I am just taking a bath here, what are you trying to do? If you want to


    take a bath, let me just give the whole bath tub to you!¡± Riley gritted her teeth. Euan¡¯s way of


    humiliating her was bing more and more perverted!


    ¡°Shut up and lie down.¡±


    Riley¡¯s brain was about to burst into mes with anger!


    Wasn¡¯t he a clean freak? Didn¡¯t he hate touching other people? But today, now that he wanted to


    humiliate her, he didn¡¯t even care about it!


    Cruelly and ruthlessly, she stood up from the water, stomped out barefoot on the tile and reached out


    her hand to grab the big bath towel.


    Euan took his time in staring at her figure, his gaze lingering on her slender waist exuding a soft aura in


    the sunlight, looking extremely beautiful.


    Suddenly, Riley was struck with tragedy!


    The soles of her feet were slippery from the bubble bath and the floor was covered with water that had


    sshed out of the bathtub.


    Her feet slipped on the slippery floor and fell directly on the bathroom floor.


    Riley groaned in pain faintly from the floor, almost losing her consciousness in pain.


    Extremely felt embarrassed, she wanted to die.


    Euan leaped out of the bath tub quickly and picked her up from the floor, making her lean in his arms.


    Both of them were stunned.


    Time stood still between the two, as distant and deste as a void.


    Riley gulped, swallowing her saliva as she looked into his eyes. Her heart seemed to be beating in her


    throat.


    Getting anxious, she desperately struggled in his arms, ¡°Let me go! I am done with taking a bath, let


    me leave.¡±


    She could feel his breath on her face as he asked, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s toote?¡±


    ¡°Euan, where are you?¡±


    Lydia¡¯s voice suddenly came from the living room, her sweet and greasy voice making Riley bitter.


    She curled her lips into a smile, ¡°Euan, your woman is calling you. Aren¡¯t you going out?¡±


    Euan frowned, ¡°Woman? Seeming you have forgotten your own identity! You are Mrs. George.¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth and ced her feet firmly on the ground to get up. She snorted, ¡°Euan, I don¡¯t


    think this is the right time to emphasize on who I am. Go out, don¡¯t make her wait any longer. She is


    pregnant. She should avoid being anxious.¡±


    Euan¡¯s long fingers held her chin, ¡°You¡­¡± ¡®Don¡¯t you care who you are?¡¯


    But he couldn¡¯t get the answer.


    ¡°What? How could I go out, otherwise she will see us like this. Even though nothing happened, it will


    inevitably make her think that it did.¡±


    She stood up on the ground with her hand , keeping her back towards him, leaving behind the perfect


    picture of running water and green hills. She pulled the towel off the rack and wrapped it around her


    body, tying a knot on her chest.


    Her wet hair was dripping with water as she smiled innocently and charmingly, trying to stay out of the


    matter, ¡°Nothing happened just now, you also don¡¯t have to think much of it.¡±


    Euan was really angry. How could he treat this like nothing happened? Did this woman have no


    reaction towards him?


    He stood up naked, standing right in front of her, seemingly deliberately. Riley¡¯s eyes inadvertently fell


    on it and she subconsciously bit her lip.


    It was impossible to say that there was no reaction towards him.


    ¡°You can¡¯t hide, Riley!¡±


    He mocked her arbitrarily, then slowly wrapped a bath towel around his waist and slowly walked out of


    the bathroom.


    Soon, Lydia¡¯s charming voice came from outside, ¡°Euan, why were you taking a shower here? the


    upstairs bathroom is morefortable than this one. If you want to take a bath, I can help you fill it up.¡±


    ¡°You were sleeping.¡± His voice was a little cold as he went upstairs without a backwards nce.


    ¡°Euan, you are so nice to me. But next time, you can take a shower upstairs. My baby and I will be fine,


    I have just waken up for a while.¡±


    Riley breathed a sigh of relief as her voice faded away, but her heart felt heavy making it hard for her to


    breath.


    She went back to her room and put on her clothes. It was around seven o¡¯clock and she had to rush to


    the hospital.


    When she came out of her room, Lydia was walking down the stairs, ¡°Riley,are you going to work.?


    Euan is taking a shower upstairs. He is too¡­ As soon as he wakes up, he wants to¡­¡± She chuckled,


    ¡°Now he is showering. I feel a bit of pain in my back, I don¡¯t know if it will affect the child¡­¡±


    Riley held her bag tightly with her hand. ¡®Did he go upstairs just now to have sex with Lydia?¡¯


    ¡°The fetus is unstable for the first trimester, try to avoid it.¡± Riley clenched her teeth, veins popping in


    her temples suddenly.


    Lydia smiled pretentiously, ¡°You are right. But we haven¡¯t been together for the past few days since he


    left. And you know about the man, they are always filled with fire. Last night and then this morning, he


    kind of lost it a bit¡­¡± She chuckled again, ¡°Next time I will remind him to be a bit gentle.¡±


    Riley endured the anger, suppressing it. She turned around to go to the hallway to change her shoes.


    Closing the door of the vi with a loud bang, Riley couldn¡¯t keep her face rxed anymore. She closed


    her eyes heartbrokenly and tried to adjust her breathing.


    The moment he was flirting with her in the bathroom and the next moment he was doing it with Lydia.


    Did he care about her even a bit? He wouldn¡¯t have done that if he cared about her in the slightest!


    Taking a deep breath, Riley almost ran towards the garage, started her polo and drove away.


    Lydia stared at the door that Riley had just mmed shut and smiled proudly, ¡°Quickly! Euan will be


    downstairs now. Get the breakfast ready!¡±


    It was great that Riley didn¡¯t eat at home!


    Euan changed into clean shirt and trousers. Lydia came up and pulled him by his arm, ¡°Euan,e on.


    Let¡¯s eat breakfast.¡±


    Euan walked around in the living room, dining room and the corridor, but he could not see Riley.


    Jodie brought over three sets of dinnerware and cutlery but as she finished arranging two sets, Lydia


    said with a smile, ¡°Jodie, Riley¡­ is not eating breakfast at home. Just arrange two sets.¡±


    Euan let go of her hand indifferently, there was not the slightest emotion on his face, ¡°One set will be


    fine, I need to rush to the office for a meeting.¡±


    Lydia¡¯s face suddenly turned green, ¡°Let¡¯s eat breakfast first. The office is not more important than your


    health, right? I specially asked them to prepare your favorite dishes. At least, taste them.¡±


    Lydia tried her best to win Euan¡¯s heart. she longed for his attention and care, and even more so for his


    love. She took his arm again, wanting to cling on to him.


    Euan didn¡¯t even look at the food, and became increasingly disgusted with Lydia. He simply pushed her


    away and walked away from the dining table, ¡°No need, you can eat by yourself.¡±


    Euan sat in his Rolls Royce with the steering wheel in his hands. Suddenly mmed a fist on the wheel


    in annoyance.


    What did she want?


    Marrying him, not only could she get his property but also the power of the George family, but why was


    he feeling uncertain all of a sudden?


    ¡®Riley, what exactly did you want? Whatever you wanted, as long as I had, I can give it to you.¡¯


    ¡®But the only thing I can¡¯t give you was the divorce settlement.¡¯

 Chapter 74 Get Lost after Having Your Meal

    Chapter 74 Get Lost after Having Your Meal


    Riley arrived at the hospital in time, luckily she was notte.


    She put on her white gown and went to her working department. Before entering her duty room, she


    could see the waiting hall being upied by a lot of queuing patients.


    A few minutes ago, she was having affectionate moment with Euan in the luxury vi. Now, she had


    entered the waiting hall with a strange smell.


    She sighed in her heart.


    She did not know what was Euan doing now, did he apany her at home? Or did he go to the


    office?


    ¡°Doctor, my chest is so painful for half a month¡­¡±


    The patient¡¯s words dragged Riley¡¯s attention back from her absent-minded state, Riley nodded, ¡°The


    initial diagnosis is angina pectoris,ter take this report and undergo X-ray in CT room¡­¡±


    Once she started to work, Riley indulged herself in the busy state.


    Time passed fast in the morning, she met her patients one by one and did not have free time to think


    about other matters. At 12 p.m., all the doctors were off duty.


    Riley raised her head, there were a few patients outside the door. They nagged that they came from a


    faraway area just to see Dr Watson.


    ¡°Juste in,¡±


    Riley decided to work overtime.


    After seeing thest patient with heart disease, Riley felt a sudden cramp in her stomach. She pressed


    her stomach hard with her fist. She was just skipping her breakfast, why did she suffer like this?


    No, she did not only skip her breakfast, she was upset by him too.


    Riley walked out of her duty room, all the doors in the department of cardiology were closed, the


    waiting hall was empty. She put her hands into the pocket of her gown, she touched the key that she


    wanted to return to William.


    She should return him the key another day, right? Or maybe she could return him the key when they


    met next time. If she especially sent the key to him, she was afraid that he would think beyond that.


    She did not want William to expect anything rted to her.


    She walked towards the cafeteria, there were a few people there. Riley ordered her food and searched


    for a seat with the dish in her hand. The seats nearby were almost fully upied, no empty seat for


    her. So, she sat on the seat nearby, there were two doctors having their meal opposite her.


    When they saw Riley, they quickly took their dishes and walked away, they whispered, ¡°She is the


    home-wrecker. This matter is not allowed to discuss in the hospital, it is weird and suspicious, so


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    unlucky to see her!¡±


    Riley held her chopsticks tightly, she put a vegetable into her mouth slowly. She thought that it was


    settled but she did not expect that they discussed and scolded behind her.


    But who was the one helping her? Who wanted to stop the rumour?


    ¡°Oh, my! is she the famous home-wrecker doctor? The ace doctor in the department of cardiology,


    Riley. Tut tut tut, but why she looks like a person hated by everyone?¡±


    She did not see the silhouette of the person talking but she knew that it was Moriah from her sarcasm.


    Moriah was failed to operate the surgery well, her hatred for Riley was intensified. So, she said loudly


    in front of so many people.


    At the moment, everyone stared at Riley unanimously, their sights almost prated her body. The


    hospital is huge, not everyone knew Riley before, they could finally see the main character of the


    rumour.


    They discussed a lot about her, the words were unpleasant.


    Riley controlled her anger and said with no expression, ¡°If your medical skill is not good, you can learn


    and improve it. However, if your personality is not good, no one can help you.¡±


    Moriah bit her teeth, she threw the container onto the table, the soup sshed out onto Riley¡¯s clothes.


    It was sticky, her white shirt was contaminated by a few yellow spots.


    ¡°You are the home-wrecker, do you have a good personality? He he, you are talking about yourself!


    Riley, you seem to be always cool and serious, everyone is afraid of you but you are indeed a bitch!¡±


    ¡°Have you finished talking?! Can you shut up your mouth?¡±


    Riley looked up at Moriah angrily, her fingers became pale because she used too much of strength. Her


    lips were pale as well. She was tired after working for the whole morning, she did not want to bother


    anyone else.


    ¡°Dr. Curry, everyone has their privacy, why do you reveal her secret in front of the people?¡±


    Jeanne Pouchain? What a coincidence!


    ¡°Yes, Ms. Pouchain, I was unable to control myself just now,¡± Moriah faked and apologised, in fact, she


    wanted to inform everyone that Riley hadmitted a guilty that she was the home-wrecker.


    Jeanne acted as if she was protecting Riley and said to everyone around them, ¡°What are you all doing


    here? Dismiss now, don¡¯t you all allow a doctor to have personal affair?¡±


    After she said that sentence, everyone covered their mouth and sneered.


    Riley looked at her teasing and sneering sight, ¡°Ms. Pouchain, what do you mean?¡±


    Jeanne approached her and nced at the spots on her body with disdain, ¡°Don¡¯t act in front of me.


    Your rtionship with Euan is improper, so, if you are not the home-wrecker, then who you are? His


    formal girl friend is Lydia.¡±


    Riley almost blurted out the words ¡°wife¡± but she thought that it was a stir now, it was useless for her to


    exin. She would divorce him one day, if more people knew about their rtionship, she would suffer


    more after they divorced.


    Riley sneered, ¡°Up to you.¡±


    After saying those words, she stood up and passed by Moriah. She walked forwards directly.


    Moriah took a nce at Jeanne and knew everything well. Then, she teased viciously, ¡°I have to


    remind you that home-wrecker should have conscience. If you have Euan to be your backer, you


    don¡¯t tangle with Mr. Hardesty anymore. Mr. Hardesty will not like a dirty woman like you, don¡¯t spoil his


    reputation!¡±


    ¡°Dr. Curry, why do you have the eligibility to protect my reputation?¡±


    A clear and graceful male voice was heard. His voice prated the dirty and noisy atmosphere and


    could be heard refreshingly from the entrance of the cafeteria. He did not roar or shout but his voice


    was full of power.


    The arrival of William made everyone shut up their mouth and did not dare to speak a word.


    After a while, William stood beside Riley, he noticed the spots on her clothes. Then, he looked at


    Moriah discontentedly, ¡°Dr. Curry, see me in the office after an hour.¡±


    Moriah changed her expression, it was proud that William wanted to see her alone. However, William¡¯s


    expression showed that it was not a good thing, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, what happened?¡±


    William showed a cold face. He was gentle but he saw Riley being bullied recently, so he always


    showed a cold face, ¡°The patient nearly died in your operation, what do you think it¡¯s going to happen?¡±


    Moriah¡¯s face turned pale instantly, she looked at Jeanne helplessly. Thetter acted as if did not know


    her and said indifferently, ¡°There must be someone taking responsibility for every problem, you are the


    person-in-charge, you should do it.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    ¡°Dr. Curry has finished eating, right? You may leave now.¡±


    After chasing Moriah away, Jeanne followed them, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, there are some rumours about your


    rtionship with Dr Watson, why do you want to help her? Don¡¯t you seek trouble for yourself?¡±


    Jeanne talked to William just to hope that William could take a nce at her, but William only focused


    on one person, ¡°Ms. Pouchain, what is the rtionship mentioned?¡±


    Jeanne lowered her voice suddenly, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, Dr Watson is¡­ you better keep a distance from her,


    don¡¯t seek trouble for yourself.¡±


    William was upset, he increased his volume, did not bother her so-called kind reminder, ¡°Ms. Pouchain


    has finished eating, right?¡±


    Riley felt that the scene was so boring and kept repeating, not interesting at all! She was sicked of it!


    Riley intervened in their conversation and said directly, ¡°It seems not right to listen to the leaders¡¯


    conversation, I leave first.¡±


    Her high heels stepped on the tiles, Riley felt that the recent happening was so annoying. Bright and


    dark, one by one, if they wanted to scold her just did it straight away! Why did they want to y the fool


    on her?!


    William left Jeanne there and chased after Riley. Before he left, he looked at Jeanne with cold sights.


    ¡°Dr Watson.¡±


    Riley turned around after hearing that, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, thank you for your help. You are right, we should


    not have any rtionship, I return this key to you.¡±


    Riley was tired, she was tortured that she lost her patience, her self-esteem was spoilt as well. She


    only wanted to go to work and save the patients, then go back home. Why is it so difficult?¡±


    William took the key and said gently and smilingly, ¡°I want to tell you that Mr. Price in the VIP room has


    gained his consciousness. To express his appreciation, he asks me to represent him to invite every


    doctor of the department of cardiology and cardiac to have a rxing night.¡±


    Riley was not interested in it, ¡°Mr. Hardesty takes them, I will not go.¡±


    ¡°Cannot, I¡¯m just sending the message. Mr. Price is the host, if you don¡¯t want to attend, you should


    inform him by yourself.¡±


    Riley frowned, she had to disturb the patient in the VIP ICU just to reject the invitation, it was too


    exaggerated, ¡°When? Where?¡±


    ¡°At a KTV by the river. We will depart together, you follow everyone to take a taxi at the entrance after


    you are off duty.¡±


    Riley looked at her dirty clothes, was she going to attend like this?


    William said, ¡°You still have time, you can go and buy a suit of clothes to rx yourself.¡±


    Hmmm¡­Did he notice her worry?


    Just then, at the MBK office building.


    ¡°It is not easy, the most problematic real estate financier in J city has been settled. Boss, everyone has


    been working overtime for half a month, the contract is signed, can we get some incentives?¡±


    Elijah stood in front of Euan¡¯s office table. His attitude was sincere because everyone from the project


    asked him to request an incentive from the boss.


    Euan opened the file and looked at it, ¡°Give everyone an amount of money, let the ountant set the


    amount ording to their effort, I will sign them.¡±


    Elijah frowned, the boss always used money on people, it was insincere, ¡°Boss, if you only give them


    money, it is useless to build teamwork. How about bringing them out to rx and enjoy? We have not


    organized activity for a long time.¡±


    Euan simply responded, ¡°Ask the ountant to allocate an amount of money for activity, I will sign it.¡±


    ¡°¡­Boss, you should attend to the matter in building teamwork. If boss can join us, the teamwork will be


    strengthened. Furthermore, how difficult is this project, you know it well¡­¡±


    Euan raised his head to look at Elijahzily, he talked a lot of nonsense today.


    But he agreed atst.


    That night, at the luxurious KTV in JD City.


    ¡°Wow! Mr. Price is so generous, I hear that the cost of this VIP room is six digits onwards for a night!¡±


    ¡°He pays for us, we just enjoy it!¡±


    Indeed it was the top entertainment ce but coincidently, it belonged to MBK which was the personal


    asset of Euan.

 Chapter 75 The President has an Overbearing Attitude

    Chapter 75 The President has an Overbearing Attitude


    William came down from the car in front and saw Riley.


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    It was the first time he saw her wearing a dress, a simple dress without any essories. She did not


    even put down the ponytail that she usually tied up during work. But, her pure and clean image easily


    caught his attention.


    Her gracefulness surprised him a lot.


    Jeanne, Moriah and the other female doctors were all dressed up very well. Although Riley¡¯s dress was


    not outstanding, just her clean, refreshing appearance made her stand out among the crowd.


    They went directly to the seventh floor. There were only two presidential rooms on the seventh floor,


    but both the rooms upied the whole floor dominantly. The rooms were enormous.


    The drinks, wine, snacks, and fruits were ced neatly on the few tables that were arranged into a long


    table. The European-style sofas were arranged into a semicircle. The room was at least 200 square


    meters with not only karaoke, but also the snooker, mahjong table, and other facilities.


    When they went in, the whole room became noisy and restless at once.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty! Sing! You are the boss today!¡±


    One of the doctors handed the microphone to William, forcing him to sing the first song. William


    rejected, ¡°You all carry on. I¡¯m not good at singing.¡±


    Riley sat on the sofa, and William sat on the other end. There was no one between them but the


    distance between them was far. Riley held on to the ss with one hand, and her other hand was on


    the sofa. William gazed at her.


    However, she was in a daze as she gazed in some direction.


    Of course, she would not know what the people around her thought.


    But Jeanne saw all of that. The wine ss covered her face, but her gaze was on William all the while.


    His enthusiastic and caring gaze of William on Riley was what she had always wanted from him!


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t just sing. Mr. Price wanted to thank all the personnel that had made great


    contributions to the operation. Come on, let¡¯s raise the ss to our main surgeon, Mr. Hardesty!¡±


    Everyone surrounded William and gave him a toast. Riley took a sip too.


    ¡°No. That would not be sincere enough. We have to each toast you individually! Since Mr. Hardesty¡¯s


    medical skill is so excellent, he surely can drink a lot!¡±


    With that, many people took turns to toast William. William was a good drinker and was not drunk at all.


    ¡°Next, shall we pay our respect to Dr. Watson? Dr. Watson had made a great contribution as the first


    assistant of this operation. She even helped Dr. Smith after she finished her operation! The toast is a


    must!¡±


    Riley was shocked, ¡°I can¡¯t drink much. Can I drink only one ss of wine?¡±


    Moriah sneered, ¡°Dr. Riley, are you looking down upon us? Even Mr. Hardesty did not say anything


    when we toasted him. What do you mean by this?¡±


    William said, ¡°I am a man, we can¡¯t bepared. Toasting once would be enough.¡±


    Moriah asked everyone, ¡°Do you guys think that¡¯s fine?¡±


    ¡°No! Dr. Watson must drink! Dr. Watson! Dr. Watson!¡±


    Riley who could not stand the cheers of the crowd could only hold up her wine, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll drink.¡±


    Moriah swayed her ss a little, ¡°Dr. Watson, I admire your medical skills. I¡¯ll give you the first toast.¡±


    She lifted her head and drank it all. Then, she inverted her ss and shook it, ¡°Okay?¡±


    ¡°Good job, Dr. Curry! Dr. Watson, finish it!¡±


    Riley frowned. Her ss was full¡­


    She closed her eyes and drank all of it.


    Once the toast started, it would not end just like that. The people who wanted to toast her came one


    after another. William held up his hand to stop them, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Let¡¯s stop.¡±


    He snatched Riley¡¯s ss, ¡°I¡¯ll drink this for her.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty should drink two sses of that if you want to help her!¡±


    Riley only felt that she was dizzy. The karaoke seemed to be shaking below her feet. The wine numbed


    her brain, and her head ached. She pressed on her temples and shook her head. She felt she was


    about to vomit.


    Riley felt sudden nauseous, and she stumbled towards the toilet as holding onto the sofa.


    William just wanted to follow with Riley when Jeanne came towards him with a ss of wine. She held


    onto him, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, I did not have the chance to toast you just now. I¡¯ll toast you now.¡±


    When Riley got out of the room, she held onto the wall and walked to the toilet. Then, she squatted


    down and threw up all the things in her stomach.


    She staggered out the toilet. The sink was at the doorway of the toilet. One side was for the males¡¯


    toilet, while the other side was for thedies'' toilet. Riley ced her hand in the sink and washed it. The


    water flowed out from the tap, and she sprinkled some onto her face. She was finally a little sobered


    up.


    But¡­


    She had sobered up, but why was there Euan¡¯s reflection on the mirror.


    There was a mirror above the sink. Euan was looking at Riley through the mirror. Both of their eyes


    intersected in the mirror¡­


    Riley shook her head vigorously. ''Impossible, it must be an illusion. Euan would not be in a ce like


    this. Absolutely not!¡¯


    When she opened her eyes again, Euan¡¯s face was still there in the mirror. He was gazing at her with


    an unfathomable look. He was judging on her, questioning her, and had a tint of care for her in his


    gaze.


    Riley turned around slowly and looked at her back with her blurry eyes. Euan, who was behind her,


    turned around at the same time. His tall and sturdy body was stern and domineering, overpowering her.


    Riley was awakened at that moment.


    She blurted out, ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Euan pulled out a tissue and wiped the water on his hands elegantly. ¡°I am the one who should ask you


    that. You did note back the whole night yesterday because of an overtime job. Then how are you


    going to exin yourself about today?¡±


    Riley was drunk, but she still had her sense. She told him the true condition, ¡°We are having a party


    with the colleagues in the hospital. If you don¡¯t believe in me, we are in that private room.¡±


    So, she was in the private room opposite the private room of the MBK gathering. The doctors were


    willing to spend money. Spending money in such a ce meant that they must use up everyone¡¯s total


    sry of the month to pay it.


    Euan frowned. Her drunk state made him frustrated, ¡°Did you drink?¡±


    Riley tried to force herself to stay awake, ¡°You have your work gathering, I have mine. Since I don¡¯t


    interfere with yours, then you shouldn¡¯t interfere with mine too.¡±


    After she finished her words, she stumbled out of the toilet towards the private room without noticing


    Euan¡¯s hand reaching towards her.


    Euan frowned. Did she forget that she could be easily drunk and was even having the courage to drink


    so much?


    Easily drunk¡­


    That sudden phrase struck Euan. If she was forced to drink again, she would not be able to even stand


    up that night.


    Euan walked back to his private room and looked at the door shut tightly behind him as he opened the


    door of his private room.


    ¡°Boss, don¡¯t you have to punish yourself by drinking a ss of wine for staying so long at the toilet?¡±


    Euan held the wine ss with his slender finger and said casually, ¡°Open the door.¡±


    Elijah was dumbfounded, ¡°This is a karaoke, not a restaurant¡­It would be noisy if the door is


    opened¡­¡±


    Euan continued, ¡°Open it.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do that.¡±


    Elijah opened the door of his private room wide, and opposite it was a tightly closed door.


    Euan shook the wine in his ss, and he said slowly with a sexy voice, ¡°Do you want me to drink?¡±


    ¡°Of course! Boss, you haven¡¯t drunk much wine tonight.¡±


    Euan unpredictably said lightly, ¡°It¡¯s simple. Open the door opposite us and I¡¯ll drink three sses of


    wine.¡±


    Huh?


    What kind of request was that? Who knew who was in the other private room?


    ¡°Why? No one dares to do that?¡±


    Ady from the Public Rtions Department swayed as she walked towards Euan, ¡°President, we can


    do it, but it was opening other¡¯s private room door. Drinking wine might not be enough as an


    exchange.¡±


    Alcohol could make one brave. The drunk employees had forgotten who Euan was. They even dared to


    request him. They would be fired if it was some other day.


    But that day¡­


    Euan was eager to look at the situation in the private room opposite them, so he agreed, ¡°Open the


    door and I¡¯ll sing.¡±


    That deal was something unusual! They must do it no matter what it takes!


    ¡°It¡¯s a deal then, president!¡±


    Thedy swayed her hips and walked towards the door and pushed open the door.


    When both of the doors were opened, it seemed like they were holding a cross room fraternity. All


    people from the opposite room looked at them in surprise. Although both were private rooms, the


    doctors were more conservative, while the other side was bold and unconstrained.


    Those were two different scenes.


    Euan held his wine ss, searching for Riley in her private room. And soon, he saw Riley, who was


    sitting on the sofa. She was weakly holding her forehead and seemed to be chatting something happily.


    William was sitting beside her and was wiping her forehead with a tissue.


    She was looking for death!


    Elijah saw Riley too and immediately understood his boss¡¯s intention. Thus, he encouraged, ¡°Since


    both doors are opened, why don¡¯t we ask them to join us? I heard that they were famous doctors from


    the Central Hospital. Don¡¯t you guys want to get to know some handsome men and women?¡±


    Euan did not speak, which meant he had given the permission. When Euan did not speak, or he wasn¡¯t


    angry, that meant he was supporting the idea!


    ¡°Hi! Guys! How about enjoying the moment together?¡±


    When someone from Euan¡¯s side shouted, the doctors¡¯ attention was all on them. Riley raised her


    head, and her sight met Euan¡¯s gaze.


    What? Why was there such a coincidence?


    At that moment, the smile on her face froze. She immediately looked away. There were enough rumors


    about her and Euan. She could not let her colleague suspect their rtionship.


    ¡°Oh my god! Isn¡¯t¡­isn¡¯t that Euan? Do we have the chance to drink with him?¡±


    Moriah said sarcastically in a low voice, ¡°Dr. Watson, why don¡¯t you go and greet him, aren¡¯t you his


    mistress?¡±


    William noticed Euan too, but he just nced at him for a second, ¡°Dr. Curry, you have just reviewed


    your professionalism in my office this morning. Do you want to write a report about having a bad


    ideology and moral value tomorrow?¡±


    William caught her weakness. Moriah was angry, but she couldn¡¯t speak out for herself. The ones who


    heard that were holding onto theirughter.


    ¡°Okay! Let¡¯s y! What do you want to y?¡±


    Elijah looked at Euan. He was trying to guess his boss¡¯ thoughts. What did his boss wish to y with


    Mrs. George? That was the key.


    But he pondered and still could not guess. The boss and his wife seldom interact.


    Not waiting for Elijah to get a conclusion, ady from the Marketing Department shouted, ¡°Of course we


    should drink andpete singing in the karaoke!¡±


    Competing for singing and drinking was a bold and enthusiastic game.


    Both of the groups agreed.


    The doctors and the MBK were rivals in the game. Each of them chose the person that they wanted to


    y the game with. The ones who sang wrongly would have to drink!


    ¡°What if someone can¡¯t drink? We can¡¯t force them, right!?¡±


    Some doctors rejected. They could not drink against those heavy drinkers from the business field.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to drink, then ept a small request from the winner. ying is for fun!¡±


    Riley silently nced at Euan. He did not seem to care what both sides were doing. But who would


    dare to do so without his permission?


    Euan did not react even a bit from the beginning itself. But his dark eyes had already pierced through


    the wine ss and gazed at Riley tons of times¡­

 Chapter 76 Telling the Truth After Drinking

    Chapter 76 Telling the Truth After Drinking


    The sound of the mic mixed although they were separated by the corridor. The storey was in a stir


    created by the noise.


    The two VIP rooms started topete in dancing and singing fierily. It was so lively that all the


    members from both sides wanted to have an attempt in thepetition.


    Everyone was amused by the humorous and powerful people, including Riley who was in bad mood.


    Everyoneughed and yed the dice, drank alcohol and yed Truth or Dare. People from both sides


    that did not meet each other before were amazingly ying together in harmony.


    ¡°Wow! It¡¯s a thrilling moment! Our MBK CEO is going to take the field, who dares to ept the


    challenge?¡±


    Euan took part as well?!


    After hearing his name, Riley straightened her back. Under the glittering disco light, she could not see


    everyone clearly.


    His tall silhouette revealed a serious and cold aura. He crossed his legs and sat there like a duke. He


    looked so dominant and serious yet handsome.


    The people from the hospital side was exhrated, ¡°Of course our vice-president! Mr. Hardesty, don¡¯t


    decline the challenge!¡±


    William looked at Euan, the silent war seemed to be triggered between them. Others did not observe


    that but Riley knew it well.


    However, William who was an excellent doctor did not know how to sing, it was the truth.


    Jeanne smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Hardesty is a professional in the medical field, he is always busy doing


    experiments, writing reports and doing operations to save the patients, he doesn¡¯t have free time to


    y. If you want to PK, we can get someone to ept the challenge, don¡¯t take it seriously!¡±


    After discussing, Riley became the one epting the challenge.


    ¡°Mr. George, Dr. Watson is the famousdy in our hospital, I hope you can show mercy to her when


    shepetes with you.¡±


    Elijah looked at Euan¡¯s expression, hmmm¡­did not have any response.


    William stood up and took away the mic in Riley¡¯s hand, ¡°Mr. George, how about having another type of


    Euan swung the cocktail in his hand and saidzily, ¡°Up to you.¡±


    Moriah came out from somewhere, she was drunk severely, she said boldly in her drunk state, ¡°Mr.


    Hardesty, the couple want to disy their affection to each other, why do you want to intervene? Ha ha,


    are you the lover of the home-wrecker?


    The atmosphere became silent!


    Because Moriah was talking through the mic!


    Riley showed a dark face, she looked at Euan subconsciously, he changed his expression and looked


    upset.


    She thought that Euan would ¡°kill¡± her but surprisingly, he stood up steadily and one of the smart


    employee passed him the mic.


    ¡°You all seem to be curious about my rtionship with her?¡±


    Riley opened her eyes big, Euan, calm down! No!


    Euan looked at Riley deeply and looked at her body, Riley, what were you afraid of?


    Jeanne smiled and said, ¡°Mr. George, Dr. Watson is annoyed by the matter. If you can provide us with


    the exnation, it is good for her too.¡±


    Riley closed her eyes, Jeanne was fooling her!


    William roared lowly, ¡°Ms. Pouchain, what are you talking about?¡±


    Euan moved his lips, he was smiling but no expression could be seen on his face, ¡°Since you all are


    curious, I will exin to you all today.¡±


    No!


    If their rtionship was revealed, the matter would be moreplicated. She just wanted to


    divorce silently and started her new life. If others knew that she was abandoned by Euan, how was she


    going to live in the future?!


    William caressed his forehead annoyingly.


    ¡°Mr. George¡­¡±


    Riley¡¯s low voice was amplified by the mic, she looked at him in a slightly drunk state, ¡°You don¡¯t have


    to take it seriously, it is just a rumour. It is so interesting that they misunderstand me as your lover. If


    you exin it clearly, it bes boring, right? I also cannot be the spotlight.¡±


    She said it with a careless tone as if she enjoyed being misunderstood by others. But in fact, she was


    expressing that Euan did not have any rtionship with her.


    This woman!


    Euan put down the mic and walked to the opposite room.


    His tall silhouette and strong aura made him look like a prince, others were amazed by looking at him.


    After that, he stopped in front of Riley, he approached her and looked at her flushed cheek, ¡°If Ms.


    Watson like this kind of superiority, then how about bing my girlfriend straight away?¡±


    What, what?!


    She was confused!


    She gave a signal to him by her sights, what did you want?!


    He said by her ear softly, his movement was affectionate and made others wonder, ¡°If you want to


    make it worse, I will cooperate.¡±


    ¡°Euan!¡±


    She roared.


    ¡°I¡¯m here,¡±


    He answered softly.


    Other people were dumbfounded, both of them kept flirting, it showed that they were indeed having


    some kind of rtionship. The atmosphere was so awkward.


    Out of the blue, Jeanne pped, ¡°Mr. George is so bold, confessing in front of so many people. Let¡¯s


    give him some apuse!¡±


    Euan wanted to spoil her life, he he, she was keen to see it.


    Shit apuse!


    Riley bit her teeth, ¡°Euan, you don¡¯t talk nonsense, you want to spoil my reputation, is it?¡±


    Euan kept his painfulness inside his heart and straightened his body, said with aplicated


    expression, ¡°Dr. Watson is so silly, I¡¯m just kidding.¡±


    Kidding?


    William showed a pale face and dumbfounded.


    Euan pinched her chin, seemed to flirt with her, ¡°Ms. Watson, I wonder how is the rumour being spread


    out? You are obviously not my type.¡±


    He then got off her chin, showed an expression with disdain and stated their rtionship vaguely. If she


    wanted to remain innocent, he would cooperate; if she did not want to be annoyed, he would


    cooperate.


    Although he nearly could not control himself to say, ¡°She is my wife.¡±


    Shit! He concerned about her feeling!


    No¡­


    Although he wanted to announce her identity, he did not want it to happen in this kind of situation.


    There was a lot of chance in the future.


    After the shocking episode, everyone continued to y while Jeanne held her fist tight in the dark


    corner!


    William was relieved, he held her arm to sit on the sofa but Euan did not let go of his hand that put on


    her arm.


    Just then, the atmosphere became tense!


    Two men fought for a woman! So boisterous!


    Euan raised his brow, ¡°Dr. Watson is my attending doctor before, I give you a toast.¡±


    Euan properly did not know that he was indeed jealous of William severely. He wanted to kill everyone


    who approached Riley!


    Riley said softly, ¡°Since you know why you are hospitalized, you should be careful about how much you


    drink.¡±


    He heard that, a strict reminder!


    The handsome man held his wine ss, the swaying Hennessy seemed romantic. The man looked at


    the woman¡¯s eyes deeply, he enjoyed the wine slowly but he seemed to enjoy looking at the pretty


    woman.


    ¡°Wow! Mr. George is so generous!¡±


    Riley was absent-minded, her tears almost fell, Euan, why did you treat me gently when I decided to


    give up on you?


    Were you punishing me by intensifying my heart-breaking feeling?


    Riley held the ss, it was Bourbon with high alcoholic volume. She curved her lips, looked at him with


    shining sights, ¡°Mr. George, thank you for exining the rtionship between us today.¡±


    Euan did not manage to stop her, she already drank the wine!


    The strong wine entered her throat like a sharp knife, it hurt her throat severely!


    This time, she nearly fainted.


    He moved his hand, did not manage to catch her hand.


    ¡°Carry on, carry on, let¡¯s continue to sing!¡±


    William could finally rest her on the sofa, she leaned against the sofa sufferingly, her chest was


    burningly painful. William gave her a ss of water and wiped away her sweat. Euan clutched his fist


    and almost wanted to kill him!


    Elijah quickly ran towards Euan and brought him back, ¡°Everybody, although our boss is handsome,


    you all should have let him go.¡±


    Riley stood up suddenly, ¡°Give me the mic, I want to sing!¡±


    Her words surprised everyone, the cold beauty was mad of drunk? It was so interesting!


    ¡°I want to sing¡­ ¡°Happy Breakup¡±!¡±


    The rhythm was yed but her beat was messy. She cried while sobbed, did not sing properly the


    whole song.


    ¡°But I don¡¯t want to let him go¡­There is no right or wrong in a rtionship, at least we can feel the


    happy and touched moment¡­If he always holds an umbre for others¡­Why do you want to wait for


    him in the rain¡­¡±


    Euan showed a dull expression, he looked at Riley silently. She held the mic, narrowed her eyes and


    sang enjoyably, she did not seem to sing but pour out her bitterness.


    It was just the lyrics or her sincere words?


    ¡°Pap!¡±


    The mic fell onto the floor in the midst of her terrible voice.


    She was drunk, if not, how dared she speak in that way? Euan, you helped her to hold the umbre but


    I waited for you in the rain, did you know?


    ¡°Everybody, carry on. Dr. Watson is drunk, I will send her back.¡±


    William helped Riley to get up and leaned her against his arms. She drank so much and sang with


    depression was because of Euan solely!


    If she could do anything for him, he must be rapturous. Even if she did not do anything, he would


    protect her unconditionally.


    His terrible and gloomy thought popped out, Riley, what should I do? Did I fall in love with you?


    Jeanne bit her teeth and walked towards him, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, you¡¯re the host tonight, how can you


    leave? I will send her back.¡±


    ¡°So what?¡± He insisted to send her back.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, let me do it, it is inappropriate for you to do it.¡±


    He gave up when he noticed that he should not do it in his identity.


    Riley opened her mouth, did not know what was she muttering. Jeanne held her and walked out.


    After going downstairs, Jeanne sneered with disdain, ¡°Riley, Euan does not want to admit your identity,


    why do you want to stay at his house?! Faster get lost from his house!¡±


    Riley smiled foolishly, her words were blur, ¡°Ms. Pouchain, he he, do you know that¡­my hand is


    because¡­¡±


    ¡°Ms. Pouchain,¡±


    A strong voice was heard from behind, Euan walked towards them, he put one of his hand into his


    pocket. His tall silhouette covered arge area of light.


    ¡°Mr. George, what happened?¡±


    ¡°Let me handle her.¡±


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Jeanne opened her eyes big, ¡°You? Why?¡±


    ¡°Because you don¡¯t have the eligibility to reject,¡±


    After saying that, Euan got Riley from Jeanne. He frowned and lifted her, walked towards the ck


    Rolls-Royce.


    Victor who was waiting for them opened the door of the car, both of them got into the spacious seat.


    Euan put her head on his leg, ¡°Victor, go back to the vi.¡±


    ¡°Sarah¡­Do you know¡­¡± The woman leaned against his chest tightly, muttered and nagged.


    The woman in his arms showed a suffering expression, she was not good at drinking. The ss of


    wine could make her stomach cramp, stupid!


    Riley continued to hold Euan¡¯s clothes and talked vaguely, she treated Euan as Sarah mistakenly, she


    smiled foolishly and bitterly, ¡°Why the God treats me in this way? I love him so much¡­Why he¡­treats


    me like this?¡±

 Chapter 77 Feeding Medicine By Mouth, Extremely Gently

    Chapter 77 Feeding Medicine By Mouth, Extremely Gently


    Hearing her slurred words, Euan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and a deep frown appeared between them.


    What was Riley talking about? She was drunk into oblivion and now she started talking nonsense?


    Or did she have something to say to someone?


    Who was that person?


    Riley¡¯s stomach was burning with pain. She grabbed Euan¡¯s clothes with both hands and buried her


    face in his clothes. When she took a breath, she could smell the scent of tequ on his body.


    ¡°Ha ha¡­ I must be crazy¡­ I always feel that the room is filled with his scent ¡­ You also smell like


    him¡­ Melissa, you tell me, what should I do?¡±


    Euan frowned again. He held her face with both his hands, trying to keep her eyes on him. Her eyes


    werepletely out of focus and blurry as he asked, ¡°Who are you talking about? Answer me.¡±


    Riley smiled bitterly, ¡°Melissa, I could hear his voice¡­ ha ha. I really must be going crazy; I could


    actually hear his voice.¡±


    In that case, he was the person that she was talking about¡­


    Why did he not know this at all? There had been no foreshadowing on her part as well.


    Euan felt depressed and his mind was chaotic. He couldn¡¯t tell what was real and what was fake.


    She said she loved him?


    But then why did she sleep with someone else just after she got married to him?


    If she really loved him, then why did she drug him back then and forced him to get into her bed so that


    The methods that she had used on him again and again,it never indicated that she liked him at all¡­ Let


    alone love him!


    ¡®Riley, how manyyers of disguise are you wearing?¡¯


    He really wanted to tear her mask off to see what kind of truth she was hiding!


    Just then, Riley¡¯s cellphone rang.


    Euan frowned as he took her phone out of her bag. The words ¡°Mr. Hardesty¡± were shing on the


    screen.


    His frown didn¡¯t disappear or deepen, but his finger uncontrobly connected the call.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, how are you feeling? Ms. Pouchain said that you went back by yourself. Can you go alone


    in your condition?¡±


    The eagerness in his voice clearly showed that he liked her, no, he adored her.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, she is with me,I¡¯m her husband. She doesn¡¯t need you to care about her.¡±


    The coldness in his voice flowed through the earpiece and William was still in KTV, tightened his


    fingers around his phone. It turned out that she was picked up by Euan.


    William did not show any panic and smiled automatically, ¡°It turned out to be Mr. George. I am Dr.


    Watson¡¯s leader and I was the one who brought her out tonight. She was happy when she came but


    seeing her leave sadly, naturally I had to ask.¡±


    Euan said expressionlessly, ¡°Whether she is happy or not, it¡¯s none of your business. These are all


    things that her husband can take care of. So, goodbye.¡±


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    William hurriedly interrupted Euan just as Euan was about to remove the phone away from his ear to


    hang up, and said, ¡°She has an injury on her hand. She assisted in two surgeries today, so she might


    experience some difort in her hand. If possible, please give her a massage.¡±


    He was concerned about her so meticulously.


    It made Euan ashamed.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    This time, his voice wasn¡¯t as cold as before.


    Euan raised her hand. Because she hadn¡¯t performed a surgery for a long time and there were no


    traces of suture marks on her fingers. The slender fingers of her soft hands were veryfortable to


    hold.


    He had never looked at her hands carefully before, and he liked it a lot.


    Almost instinctively, Euan, who had no experience in massaging, squeezed her hands and kneaded it


    gently.


    Thinking about it, it wasn¡¯t just her hands that he hadn¡¯t paid attention to. In thest three years, he


    hadn¡¯t paid attention to her work or life or anything else about her.


    Faintly, he felt he had a heartache.


    He really needed to investigate aboutst five years , everything about her and the words she just said.


    If he didn¡¯t check, she would never tell him anything directly with that nature of hers.


    The Rolls Royce arrived at the vi and Euan got out of the car, holding Riley in his arms. The lights on


    the second floor of the vi were off and the lights in the first-floor living room were still on. The bright


    chandeliers spilledrge fragments of light among the shadows, making Euan¡¯s entrance hard to


    neglect.


    His only audience was Lydia.


    ¡°Euan, you are back finally!¡±


    Euan frowned and responded indifferently, ¡°Go upstairs and sleep.¡±


    Lydia saw the woman he was holding in his arms and her blood boiled with hatred, ¡°Euan, I have been


    waiting for you.¡±


    ¡°Did I tell you to wait?¡± Even though the anger in his cold voice couldn¡¯t be heard but he was obviously


    displeased.


    Knowing that she couldn¡¯t dare to refute, Lydia red at the unconscious Riley and muttered in a low


    voice, ¡°I knew you were a slut but you are also a drunkard!¡±


    Euan ignored her, not approving her attitude, but he was feeling disdainful and was not in the mood to


    say anything about it.


    Holding Riley, he walked into the bedroom on the first floor, opened the summer quilts and ced her


    on the bed. He propped himself on the side of the bed with one hand and stared at her face, ¡°Would


    you like some water?¡±


    Euan couldn¡¯t believe that this voice just now was his own!


    Riley hummed faintly. The pain in her stomach made her whole upper body cramp; her hands were


    sped firmly on her stomach and her legs were folded, making her curl into a ball.


    ¡®This doesn¡¯t work; she is in too much pain.¡¯


    Euan rubbed on her belly with his big warm hands but it didn¡¯t seem to relieve her pain.


    He found a tablet for relief of hangover in the medicine box. He brought the tablet with water and tried


    to help her up, ¡°Take the medicine! Drink this and you¡¯ll feel okay.¡±


    Riley just frowned, whether because of the pain or alcohol, she waspletely unconscious.


    Euan¡¯s eyes searched her face for any recognition, but then he simply put the tablet in his mouth. After


    taking a mouthful of water, he kissed her on the lips and poured the bitter water into her mouth little by


    little.


    The dissolved bitterness of the tablet fluttered between his teeth and lips, but he only had eyes for


    Riley and couldn¡¯t even feel the bitterness of the medicine.


    Riley was unable to swallow and suddenly coughed violently. Euan patted her back and help her breath


    return to normal.


    Finally, it took more than half an hour to feed her the medicine like that. Euan sighed in relief, helped


    her lie on the bed again and pulled a corner of the quilt to cover her abdomen.


    After finishing everything, he closed the door reluctantly.


    In the bedroom on the second floor, Lydia had just finished her conversation with Jeanne. Jeanne had


    told her in advance that Euan had taken Riley away, but she had not expected such result.


    Lydia thought that Euan woulde up to sleep and waited for a long time but Euan didn¡¯te.


    In the study.


    Euan turned on theputer while holding a ss of light vodka in one hand.


    The video call was connected to show a man who looked handsome and young but also a bit frivolous.


    ¡°Wow, you took time out of your busy day to call me? What happened? Did you miss me?¡±


    Aiden Gibson smiled mischievously and joked to his good friend of many years. Even though he joked,


    but he knew that Euan was the kind of guy who only called him when he needed help, and getting his


    call at midnight ording to Chinese standard time he knew Euan had a pressing matter to discuss.


    Master from the Gibson family, who was far away in New York, leaned on the lounge chair besides the


    pool, waiting for Euan to burst out.


    Euan picked up the ss of vodka with his long fingers and took a jittery sip, ¡°When will you return? I


    need your help for something.¡±


    ¡®You see! I knew it!¡¯


    ¡°I have no ns to return at this moment, but I can make an exception for you. But at least, you have to


    tell me what is it about?¡±


    Aiden asked directly without beating about the bush in front of Euan.


    Euan frowned, his deep eyes filled withplex emotions, ¡°Do you remember Riley Watson?¡±


    Aiden¡¯s handsome face changed suddenly as if he had swallowed a fly, he jumped almost breaking


    through the screen, ¡°Damn! Isn¡¯t the one who I knew¡­ Uh! The one who made you fall?¡±


    Euan frowned again, ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Aiden coughed awkwardly, ¡°What happened? Are you still in touch? After all, it has been three years,


    wait¡­ it will be four years in two months. Damn! A person like you who is so fickle in love¡­ You still


    remember what happened four years ago? when did you be so nice?¡±


    Euan took another sip, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I need all of her information, all of it.¡±


    Aiden tapped the armrest of his chair, ¡°All? It won¡¯t be easy¡­¡±


    ¡°If it was easy, would I have toe to you? I need the answers as soon as possible. The sooner the


    better!¡±


    Aiden was smart . ording to Euan¡¯s tone and looking at his expression, he guessed eighty to ny


    percent, ¡°Fuck! Euan! Don¡¯t tell me¡­ Do you fall in love with this woman? You are scaring me!¡±


    Euan George! There had never been ack of beauties around him, but he had never been with


    someone for a long time. Lydia he knew was obviously just a side character in arge cast; and as for


    other girls, they were not even worth mentioning.


    Everyone said that Euan was born as a yboy who only broke women¡¯s hearts; he will never actually


    care for a woman in his entire life. If fortune tellers had seen him, they would have said that his


    appearance and mannerisms said that he was born to live alone.


    However, now Aiden found out that Euan was in love!


    Euan frowned and narrowed his sharp eyes, ¡°I may have made the most impulsive and wrong decision


    in my life.¡±


    Aiden Asked nervously, ¡°What decision?¡±


    Euan closed his eyes and paused, preparing him for the surprise, ¡°Three years ago, I married her.¡±


    There was silence on the other side as Aiden looked horrified.


    The ss of cocktail fell down from Aiden¡¯s hand and smashed on the floor.


    ¡°You¡­ You¡­ What are you talking about? You¡­ You actually got married? Fuck! You were ying


    around with secret marriages and I didn¡¯t even know! Oh my god! Three years! And I didn¡¯t know


    anything?¡± Aiden wailed.


    Euan said coldly, ¡°Stop howling! You know it now. Originally, I was going to keep it hidden from you


    forever.¡±


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Aiden felt betrayed by the whole world! So, he was still not considered a close friend!


    ¡°Wait a moment, let me drink some wine to get over my shock¡­¡±


    He felt sick with shock.


    ¡°So, what do you want me to check? Your wife¡¯s details? Why didn¡¯t you check it when you got married


    three years ago? Now everything had happened ,only now it is urring to you to check?¡±


    ¡°Stop talking nonsense. Do this for me.¡± Euan didn¡¯t want to wait. He wanted to know everything right


    now!


    Aiden was irritated and gulped down arge ss full of whiskey, ¡°But right now, the news is going


    crazy about you and Lydia, saying she is pregnant ¡­ And you¡­ you actually make her get pregnant !


    What are you going to do? Marry her?¡±


    Euan frowned, ¡°Her?¡± he snorted coldly, ¡°Lydia¡¯s existence only made me surer of one thing. After this


    matter is resolved, her staying or leaving is only going to be a word from me.¡±


    Lydia should have known the seriousness of her actions when she took the initiative to conceive. He


    was generous with her and spent a lot of money on her, but it didn¡¯t mean that he was willing to love


    her.


    ¡°Huh, as I expected, that innocent faced maniptive bitch is just going to end up and be the


    cannon fodder. Wait a moment, you still haven¡¯t answered me. Are you in love with Riley?¡±


    Euan drank the vodka in one shot, looking painfully gloomy and clutched the Hermes ss tightly in his


    hand. His dark pupils expanded and then contracted as he pondered. After a long inner struggle¡­


    ¡°The second wrong thing that I did is maybe that¡­ I really fell in love with her.¡±

    Thedy who could make Euan say the word ¡°love¡± was indeed someone special. So, Aiden agreed to


    help him and promised that he would find out the truth soon.


    ¡°What else do you want to know apart from her injury five years ago? It¡¯s just a small matter. It¡¯s not


    enough to make you feel miserable about it, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    The Young Master Gibson was not a fool either. Such a tough man like Euan would not be a snowke.


    ¡°Besides, there¡¯s one thing that I have recently begun to doubt. Was the wine with drugs that I drank


    that time made by her?¡±


    He only remembered that night they were in the biggest pub in the JD city. Many women surrounded


    him. He could not recall which part went wrong. The wine he drank was the wine that she made, or she


    mistook someone else¡¯s wine?


    After he was drunk, she was dragged to the bed by him, or she was the one who made love with him of


    her own will?


    Was she the one who volunteered herself to make love with him that day?


    He was angry at that time and had ced all the resentment on her¡­


    No. If she was innocent, why did she ask him to marry her after that? The incident that happened


    yed in his mind like a slow-motion film.


    A part was missing in his memory. There must be something that he could not remember.


    He had to find his lost memory back! To restore the truth!


    Aiden understood what he meant, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll first check her situation when she studied abroad in the


    United States, then check about the wine when I get back to our homnd. Euan, your stepbrother is


    back in the country. Your family is messed up.¡±


    Euan sneered, ¡°You better not mess it up more.¡±


    What was he talking about? ¡°Just go to bed. It¡¯s 1:00 a.m. now in China. I¡¯ll listen to your story when I


    get back and meet the specialdy who our Young Master Euan cared so much about her.¡±


    After putting down the video call, Euan went downstairs unexpectedly. He had a sh of thought. If she


    was the one who set up the trap that time, would he give up on her?


    Damn it! Since when did he be so indecisive?


    The next morning, Riley had a headache after the hangover. The sunlight shone on her face from the


    window, which made her feel warm andzy. She did not feel hot or too bright because of the air


    conditioning in the room.


    Riley frowned and was dumbfounded!


    How did shee backst night? She remembered she drank up a ss of whiskey when she yed


    the game with Euan. Then, she forgot what happened next.


    Riley lifted the nket and looked down at her clothes¡­


    Shit! Where were her clothes? Where was the dress she worest night? Why was she wearing


    pyjamas at the moment? And¡­and¡­someone had changed her panties too?


    Fuck? What happenedst night?


    Riley would not know at least for now, that Euan came downstairsst night and entered her room


    again.


    She was throwing up and not only dirtied her clothes. She even threw up on Euan¡¯s Versace.


    Euan used up all the patience he had umted for all his life, helping her take off her clothes and


    carrying her to the bathroom. Then he washed her up and changed her underwear and pyjamas.


    What happened was, Euan almost had insomnia because of her, while she was already deeply asleep


    and did not know what was happening when Euan was cleaning her up.


    Riley walked out of the room dizzily and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she saw Euan¡¯s


    clothes were in theundry too¡­


    He might have drunk too muchst night too. Probably he was not any better than her.


    It must be the maids who changed her clothes.


    ¡°Mrs. George, the breakfast is ready.¡±


    Riley drank a ss of water and saw the breakfast on the table, ¡°How about them?¡±


    ¡°Ms. Saunders said that she was sleepy and didn¡¯t want to eat breakfast. The Young Master asked us


    not to wake him up before ten.¡±


    Oh¡­


    Would the desire of those who were drunk increase so much? Both were so tired that they could not


    even wake up in the morning?


    Riley was heartbroken and felt like crying, but she smiled instead. She sat on the chair that the maid


    pulled out for her and started enjoying her breakfast.


    ¡°By the way, how did I get backst night?¡±


    Jodie shook her head, ¡°I waited until 11:00 pm, but you and the Young Master weren¡¯t back yet. So, I


    went to bed. Probably Sophia would know, but Sophia took a day off today.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay then. You can go ahead. You don¡¯t have to wait here to serve me.¡±


    When Riley arrived at the hospital, the look of her colleagues on her was somewhat different. But she


    did not care.


    The motto of Riley¡¯s life was to use more of her time and energy on work and less in life. Small matters


    would not be able to affect her mood.


    ¡°Good morning, Dr. Watson.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, good morning!¡±


    Riley, who was wearing a white coat, walked quickly through the corridor. Many doctors and nurses


    greeted her all the way. She nodded in response but did not slow down her steps.


    Last night, Euan rified her identity, and now she was treated differently.


    Huh!


    ¡°Dr. Watson, we envy you! You¡¯ve participated in the Military Commander¡¯s surgery and had the


    opportunity to sing in an expensive karaoke. And you even had a friendship gathering with MBK


    International Corporation! We heard the doctors and nurses in the Surgery Department saying about


    this today. We are so envious of you!¡±


    Rose ced her hands on her chin and looked at her enviously.


    ¡°Do you want to go?¡± Riley opened herputer and looked at the patients¡¯ file.


    ¡°Of course! Of course, I want to! Being able to sing with a famous person like Euan. Damn, Euan is a


    wealthy man!¡±


    ¡°If you really want to go,y down and take a nap.¡±


    Rose said nothing.


    She took a few seconds to react, ¡°Whoo! You are asking me to just dream about it? You are so bad, Dr.


    Watson!¡±


    The rich were like a city surrounded by the great wall. The ones that were in it wanted to get out while


    other ones who were outside wanted to get in.


    ¡°Dr. Watson. The patient yesterday who had coronary heart disease is looking for you.¡±


    ¡°Let her in.¡±


    When the patients were here, she had to be busy for some time. After treating four to five patients, it


    was almost noon.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, let¡¯s go for lunch!¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    When she and the doctor in the same office changed their clothes after putting down their stethoscope


    and were prepared to go for lunch, her phone in the pocket vibrated.


    The name shing on the screen was Young Master Hendrix.


    After being quiet for these days, the injury on him seemed to have cured.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°Riley. I miss you a lot. Do you miss me?¡±


    It¡¯s difficult for a dandy man to change!


    ¡°It seems that your body doesn¡¯t hurt anymore. Do you want to be beaten up by your father again?¡±


    ¡°No, no, no. It¡¯s scary! Erm¡­how did you know that I was beaten by my father? Damn, it¡¯s too


    embarrassing that my story spread so far.¡±


    ¡°Is it far? It was only half an hour from the George Mansion to YJ vi.¡± Riley answered the call and


    took off her white coat.


    Riley¡¯s words were sharp, Hendrix was not her opponent, ¡°Riley. My father had gone on a business trip.


    I am too bored. I had barely been able to get out of the house today. Let¡¯s go and eat something


    delicious! Please don¡¯t reject my request since I was injured, and I saved you. I have no friends in this


    country, and I am lonely¡­¡±


    ¡°Enough. I have two hours break at noon. Come quickly!¡± The Young Master Hendrix was good at


    acting pity.


    ¡°Come down! I¡¯m at the door opposite your outpatient department!¡±


    She was speechless.


    The red Ferrari racing car sped furrily and stopped at a high-end western restaurant. Coincidentally, a


    yellow Ferrari was parked beside them, and the license te number was familiar.


    Huh!


    It was a coincidence!


    ¡°Young Master Hendrix is an expert when ites to eating and drinking. The ce you choose is not


    bad!¡±


    It was not bad. If not, why would Freya¡¯s car be there!


    Hendrix smirked, ¡°Please go in, Riley.¡±


    The decoration inside was elegant and noble and the piano music was soothing. The light that was


    lowered on purpose gave an effect of soft and beautiful light on the ceiling. It was no doubt that the


    ce was suitable for dating.


    So, when Riley entered the restaurant and before she sat down in front of the French window, she saw


    Freya having a meal with a guy.


    She was wearing a beautiful and sexy V-neckline dress, and the artificial face under the heavy make-


    up was delighted. Both of them chatted happily.


    ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that your sister? Since we meet her here, why don¡¯t we sit together?¡± Hendrix was idle and


    just wanted to have some fun. Freya was the best appetizer before the meal.


    Riley pursed her lips and acquiesced, ¡°I don¡¯t mind. Do whatever you want.¡±

    Hendrix ced one of his hands in his pocket, and the other was ying with his car key. He was like a


    dandy yboy.


    ¡°Miss Watson, we¡¯ve met again.¡±


    Hendrix walked over and leaned against their table. His eyes were deliberately exploring Freya¡¯s


    neckline.


    Freya was, of course, proud of her perfect breast. She revealed her cleavage more on purpose and


    greeted him with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s Young Master Hendrix. We are destined to meet each other.¡±


    ¡®Fuck! What bullshit did you say! You always say that to every rich man!¡¯


    ¡°Since it¡¯s such a coincidence, why don¡¯t we share a table?¡± Hendrix raised his eyebrows in a flirty


    manner.


    Freya thought he was interested in her and quicklyughed and said, ¡°Luke, you don¡¯t mind, do you?¡±


    The rich man with the name Luke Dotson was obviously one of the rich men she flirted on. He was


    definitely to be dumped. ¡°Of course not. Young Master Hendrix, please sit.¡±


    Who would dare to offend the George family in JD city? They had to be polite whenever they meet


    them.


    Hendrix pursed his lips, ¡°It would be too congested for four. It will make my VIP guest feel


    ufortable.¡±


    ¡°VIP guest?¡±


    Riley, with a simple ck Chloe shoulder bag and a clean face without any makeup, said, ¡°Are you


    surprised, sister?¡±


    Freya clenched her teeth and spoke sarcastically when she saw Riley, ¡°Bitch is indeed a bitch! You


    even seduce¡­ Young Master Hendrix.¡±


    She did not dare to expose Euan¡¯s secret marriage, or she would be torn into pieces by Euan a


    thousand times. So, she changed the word brother-inw to Young Master Hendrix before she spurted


    out the words.


    ¡°Miss Watson, you should mind your words!¡±


    ¡°Did I say anything wrong? That night at the party, my sister did not only flirt with your brother, she


    even¡­¡±


    p!


    Before Freya could finish her words, a p was given to her. The p was from Hendrix, hitting


    urately on her fair face, which imprinted a red handprint on her face.


    ¡°I had warned you to mind your words. Miss Watson. Do you want another p on the other side of


    your face too?¡±


    The restaurant was too quiet. So, the sound attracted the attention of the customers. Freya covered her


    face that was pped and cried, ¡°You¡­you pped me?¡±


    ¡°So what?¡±


    He had been holding onto the p for a long time! He wanted to do that at the party itself. She was


    unlucky to meet him today.


    Luke quickly got up, ¡°Miss Watson, I, I¡¯ve something to do. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±


    He then fled off after lying.


    Hendrix sneered, ¡°You have a bad taste in man, Miss George. It¡¯s okay if yourpany is ruined by


    you. It will be not worth it if you ruin yourself too.¡±


    One side of Freya¡¯s face was swollen due to the p, and she roared in anger and frustration,


    ¡°Hendrix, she is just a bitch! You would not be having a good ending being around her! She used the


    same tricks to flirt on your brother before¡­¡±


    p!


    Hendrix¡¯s second p fell on the other side of her face with the same force, ¡°Now it¡¯s symmetrical, Miss


    George!¡±

    Chapter 79 Her Appearance Makes Me Lose My Appetite


    Freya covered her face and left angrily, creating a huge gap for the two.


    Hendrix was very pleased with that.


    Before eating, Riley was already half full, sitting on the dining table while fidgeting the cutleries, ¡°Mr.


    George, why do you dislike her so much? pping her just now might have gone over the line.¡±


    Hendrixughed. He ate the medium steak which still had a bit of blood on it and smiled indifferently,


    ¡°Do I need a reason to dislike someone? If I must find a reason, her appearance makes me lose my


    appetite.¡±


    Puff! Rileyughed on the opposite side, ¡°What kind of reason was that?¡±


    Hendrix''s appetite increased, so he ate a lot, ¡°Even if Freya is your little sister from another mother, she


    didn''t look like you at all... No matter how, she doesn''t look pleasing to my eye. People with a low IQ


    that still wants to scheme others sooner orter will die on their own.¡±


    ¡°We are not biologically rted, we have different mothers, and different fathers too,¡± Riley exined


    briefly like she''s eager to clear up such rtion.


    Hendrix chewed the steak with slight exaggeration, ¡°Oh... Then I shouldn''t have pped her just now.¡±


    Riley''s expression changed, ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°I should''ve just kicked her! My hand hurts after pping her.¡±


    Riley just smiled without stating anything, while chewing her lunch slowly.


    ¡°But will she avenge you for my p just now? She gazed at you like she wanted to revenge when she


    left.¡±


    ¡°Now you''re scared? It''s fine, I''ve handled all her tricks, she cane to me anytime for revenge.¡±


    ¡°You''re so bold! Come, cheers... Grape juice¡±


    Cough, cough, cough! That''s because they need to drive.


    Returning to the hospital after that meal, Riley was told to join in on a patient''s treatment n, the


    Internal Medicine and Surgical Department had their own saying... Considering the difficulty of the


    surgery and the patient''s health situation, the Internal Medicine Department didn''t rmend surgery.


    ¡°I''m worried that the patient won''t survive after the surgery in such condition.¡±


    One of the doctors from the Internal Medicine Department said that.


    ¡°That''s right, the OM-BRANCH is in a bad position, it''ll be very difficult to see the coronary artery on the


    leftmost side of the heart.¡± Riley quickly imagined the most possible situations after opening the


    pericardium, she almost blurted it out.


    Once she said that, the doctors from the Internal Medicine Department were dumbfounded. The


    doctors from the Surgery Department on the opposite side were also dumbfounded.


    Riley didn''t notice her colleagues'' gazes. She kept borating on technical difficulties that would


    happen during the surgery...


    ¡°Although there are slight pathological changes in the coronary arteries and mitral valves, the use of


    medicine can dy the deterioration. If the patient undergoes an operation, with that problem just now


    and the patient¡¯s own fitness, he won''t survive after the surgery even if there''s a slight error in the


    cardiopulmonary bypass.¡±


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Serena and Margot looked at Riley with their wide-open eyes, like they were looking at a monster.


    What was Dr. Watson thinking? That was fucking awesome!


    They had only heard those terms from their master''s degree lecturers.


    But, Riley seemed to have experienced it all!


    Jeanne sniffed, ¡°Seems that Dr. Watson understands it very well, just know how to talk but don¡¯t know


    how to do, right? Mr. Hardesty, what do you think?¡±


    Just now, William kept paying attention to what Riley said, she''s so perfect for the Surgery Department!


    A born surgical doctor with sharp observation, detailed consideration, and precise judgment.


    He wished to fight on the surgery table with scalpels with her, defying the God of death together!


    William put his excitement away and said, ¡°That''s right, Dr. Watson. If the patient undergoes surgery,


    it''s highly risky with only 30% chance of surviving, and there''s 70% chance if the patient gets


    conservative treatment.¡±


    Jeanne said, ¡°But, the sickness might recur anytime if the patient gets conservative treatment. The


    patient needs to consume the medicine in a long term and it''ll worsen the liver''s burden of


    detoxification.¡±


    Riley had thought about that problem, ¡°Ms. Pouchain, the decision of doing the operation or not


    depends on the patient''s wish, we should tell the pros and cons to the patient and let the family decide


    it.¡±


    William nodded, ¡°Do it as what Dr. Watson says.¡±


    Riley slightly nodded and left the meeting room.


    The rest of the people in that room regarded Dr. Watson as their role model, ¡°Goddess! Dr. Watson is


    my role model now!¡±


    ¡°You just knew It? Dr. Watson was an excellent student during university days that lecturers would fight


    for her. In less than a year aftering to our hospital, she had conquered leaders of various stages.


    Tsk tsk, what a talent... More importantly, she''s so beautiful.¡±


    A male doctor couldn''t help eximing.


    Jeanne berated, ¡°Why are you still in a daze? Go and make a n for the patient!¡±


    After saying that, she just walked out.


    Everyone in the room looked at Jeanne''s cold back figure... For a long time, people just looked at each


    other without saying anything.


    Jeanne clenched her fists. ¡®That damned Riley, she was just seeking the limelight! Just wait!¡¯ she


    thought.


    Riley spent most of the afternoon looking into the patient''s condition and make the corresponding


    treatment n until her phone rang.


    ¡°Hello.¡± she was writing the n when she took the phone and put it by her ears, she didn''t see whose


    number was that.


    ¡°Hello?¡± why did no one say anything at all?


    ¡°If you''re not talking, I''m hanging up.¡±


    Riley didn''t like to be disturbed when thinking about a problem. When she was going to hang up, finally


    there''s a sounding from the other end.


    ¡°Doctor Watson, let''s have a talk.¡±


    William?


    ...


    Riley brought the coffee cup and sat on the seat by the hospital''s coffee shop window, ¡°If it''s still the


    same topic, I think there is no need to talk more about it.¡±


    William sipped his coffee, it was a sugarless Americano that felt bitter, but it didn''t feel that bitter when


    he looked at Riley, ¡°I''m very serious, you''re very suitable for the Surgery Department, you''ve proven


    your actual strength again today, I was going to give you more time to consider initially but I don''t want


    to wait anymore.¡±


    His praises and appreciations for her had no personal motives. If she refused, it would be


    unreasonable.


    Riley was holding a cup of cappino with three spoons of sugar, but it still felt so unbearably bitter


    when she drank it... She looked at her right hand, there were some things she didn''t want to tell him so


    she just refused once more, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, I''m thankful for your kindness, but I have to refuse. We don''t


    need to talk about this anymore in the future.¡±


    She got up and wanted to leave. William subconsciously grabbed her wrist, the air suddenly became


    quite ambiguous¡­ William knew that he was rude so he hastily let go of her hands, ¡°Actually, what


    happened to your right hand? When you assisted me, I can see that you subconsciously protected your


    right hand.¡±


    ¡°That has nothing to do with you.¡± she instinctively curled her right hand, she could still recall the pain


    she had gotten five years ago.


    There were many regrets in her life, and her right hand that couldn''t hold the scalpel again was one of


    them.


    ¡°Riley...¡± he called her name out in a rush before saying, ¡°If there''s a problem on your right hand I can


    help you solve it... Believe in yourself and please believe me too, okay?¡±


    Riley didn''t talk to him anymore and left the coffee shop, leaving William standing there alone in


    confusion. What was the reason for her to give up on working at the Surgical Department?


    What was the reason for the problem on her right hand?


    The hands were essential for doctors working at the Surgical Department. She''s a careful person, how


    could she be so careless?


    After walking out the door, there was arge flowerbed in front surrounded by Holly trees, and the cape


    jasmine flower inside it already bloomed. The elegant fragrance lingered in the garden... Riley stood


    before the flowerbed with her white doctor''s gown. Then, once she lowered her head, her tears


    streamed down her cheeks...


    After work, Riley, who was not in a good mood, sat in the car.


    Riley didn''t want to go back to the vi because Lydia would be there.


    Being alone in a rented house would make her more deserted and it''d be easier for her to imagine


    things.


    Staying at the hotel? Wouldn''t she be asking for trouble if she stayed in a hotel?


    The world was so huge but she suddenly realized that she had no ce to seek warmth... 2 years ago,


    before her grandfather passed away, she still had a reason to return to the Watson family¡¯s house, but


    then that memorable ce had be someone else''s territory.


    Fortunately, her phone rang.


    ¡°My dear, I bet that you''re feeling lonely and cold now. Do you want to go out and have some fun? A


    good friend of mine sets a free food and drinks party,e over and join us!¡±


    ¡°You''re pretty urate this time. Wait for me, I''ll be there soon.¡±


    In a first-ss club in JD City, the luxurious and bright fluorescent lights were very bright and brilliant.


    The DJ was so loud that people''s voices could barely be heard... Riley, who wore a simple shirt and


    jeans, didn''t look like she came from the same world as Sarah, who wore a sexy short dress.


    ¡°Honey,e here!¡±


    Riley entered the club. Sarah guided her to take a seat and briefly introduced her friends to Riley...


    Everyone was just being polite, then they had fun on their own.


    ¡°Are you in a bad mood? Why are your eyes red?¡±


    Riley swayed her alcohol ss, ¡°Give me juice instead, I''m driving and I have drunk too muchst


    night.¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, you''re the only one that can drink juice in the club!¡±


    At that time, the man that was sitting on the ring sofa under the chandelier whispered, ¡°Isn''t that Riley


    from the Watson family? Last time when I joined the Watson Group''s banquet, she looks very simple


    but beautiful, but it seems that she has a connection with two brothers of the George family.¡±


    ¡°Is that so? If that is so... Maybe we can make friends with her so we can do some business with the


    George family.¡±


    That group of people discussed well before enthusiastically inviting Riley to sit down, ¡°Sarah, you''re not


    doing it the right way, how could you just abandon us after your good friendes? We should have


    fun together,e, pretty doctor, you can sit here.¡±


    Sarah red, ¡°Behave, my friend is a gooddy. Don¡¯t make your moves here.¡±


    ¡°I won''t dare to,dy, please sit down.¡±


    Riley was dragged and persuaded to sit down, ¡°I have to drive so I won''t drink today, sorry.¡±


    ¡°Don''t be like that, we all drive here, drink a ss, just one ss... I''ll let the driver send you home


    ¡°Fuck! She said that she doesn¡¯t want to drink alcohol, what are you trying to persuade her for! Just


    stay still or I''ll cut you off!¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, just don''t drink then... drink some water... Or juice.¡±


    Everyone there was young and they were all sons and daughters of bosses in JD City. Everyone


    intentionally wanted to get closer to Riley with full enthusiasm.


    ¡°Pretty doctor, which unit are you from?¡±


    ¡°Pretty doctor, I don''t feel well recently. Can you have a look?¡±


    tters wereing one after another, she just responded casually and resolved them easily.


    However, when Riley looked up from the swaying sses, she saw a familiar figure walking in.


    Kaysorn who just walked in also saw Riley. His evil-looking eyes suddenly shrank!


    Their eyes met, and Riley slightly narrowed her eyes. Sure enough, one of his arms was still hanging


    on his neck and he was limping. He''s injured badly.


    Kaysorn gritted his teeth, bent down, and spoke to a guy beside him, ¡°Keep an eye on that slut, Riley, I


    wouldn¡¯t let her go tonight!¡±

 Chapter 80 Where is My Riri?!

    Chapter 80 Where is My Riri?!


    Sarah¡¯s eyes looked in the direction of Riley¡¯s gaze. Kaysorn was already not in sight, ¡°What are you


    looking at? Are there cute boys around here? Your eyeballs were about to fly out of its sockets.¡±


    Riley poked her forehead, ¡°Other than cute boys, what else do you have here? Stop thinking about


    men.¡±


    ¡°I think about money too! I need it to flirt with the hotshots, don¡¯t I? Hehe.¡± Sarah continued to scan the


    vicinity but spotted no cute or handsome men.


    ¡°Your life goal is pretty simple. You only need a man and money.¡±


    ¡°Nooo, I need you too! Hahaha!¡±


    Whenever the two best friends were together, they were able to be themselves. Riley leaned on the


    sofa, her emotions and body were totally rxed.


    ¡°Have you done anything useful after returning to the country for so long? You graduated already.


    When are you nning to work?¡±


    A handsome guy squeezed in between the two, and in his hands were wine sses, ¡°Don¡¯t just keep


    chatting. What about if we y Ring Of Fire? Let¡¯s get the night started!¡±


    The crowd cheered upon hearing his suggestion. Riley wanted to reject them, but she couldn¡¯t


    withstand the many people who came to persuade her. In the end, she agreed to join the game for a


    short while.


    As a newbie, shepletely lost the first round.


    ¡°One shot! Pretty doctor, that was a good one! Come on, let¡¯s continue!¡±


    Once Sarah started drinking, she was unstoppable. The more she drank, the more excited and sober


    she became. She could never get drunk, and that was a fact.


    During the game, Riley lost a few more rounds. Sarah gulped down the alcohol she was supposed to


    drink at twice the volume.


    Even so, she drank two sses of beer and half a shot of whiskey.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the restroom for a bit.¡±


    ¡°Okay okay¡­you guys, don¡¯t stop the game. Fuck you, Mr. Parry. How dare you pull a trick in front of


    me! You¡¯re courting for death! Quickly, gulp it down!¡±


    Riley stood before the bathroom counter and washed the back of her hand and her arm with the tap


    water. The alcohol in her stomach was burning again. Her low tolerance of alcohol would definitely kill


    her one day.


    At the other corner of the bar.


    Kaysorn smirked and waved for his subordinate toe over. He lowered his voice and whispered his


    orders in his ears.


    ¡°Yes, boss.¡±


    ¡°After it¡¯s done, you¡¯ll be rewarded. But if you mess it up¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, boss. I will seed!¡±


    After Riley washed her face, her mind finally cleared up a little, but her face was still flushing with


    redness. Blurrily, she seemed to have seen Euan¡¯s face in the mirror. This time, she knew it was just an


    illusion.


    A waiter happened to pass by with a tray of sses filled with drinking water when Riley came out from


    the restroom.


    ¡°I¡¯d like a ss of water, please.¡±


    ¡°Sure, Miss.¡±


    Riley picked up a ss and gulped it down. Once she was in a better state, only then did she go back


    to Sarah.


    ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Sarah, I¡¯m going home first. You guys continue.¡±


    Euan and Lydia should be asleep by now. It was good news for her as long as she didn¡¯t have to bump


    into them.


    ¡°You¡¯re leaving earlier again¡­Hey, what¡¯s wrong? Your face is so red. Ugh, it¡¯s all my fault for not


    protecting you well enough just now. Let me send you home as redemption for my sins.¡±


    ¡°You want to send me home? Forget it. You can¡¯t drive when you¡¯re drunk. I¡¯ll just hail a cab.¡±


    ¡°No! What kind of best friend would I be if I let you do that? Hey guys, I¡¯ll be leaving with this beauty


    now. You guys have fun!¡±


    The twodies exited the bar. The night wind which blew on their skin was refreshing. Sarah released a


    hup, stretched her arms up, and tried to put it around Riley¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Is that bitch still staying in


    the vi?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, she¡¯s ying the role as the master of the house pretty well. Ordering the people here and there


    and whatnot.¡±


    It was freaking annoying!


    They chatted while walking and were already a distance away from the bar unknowingly.


    ¡°What the fuck? What is Euan even thinking? He wouldn¡¯t divorce with you, but he wouldn¡¯t let go of


    Lydia Saunders either. Fuck him! Hey¡­Riley, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    As Sarah was happily cursing her heart out, Riley suddenly slumped and squatted on the ground with


    her arms around her stomach.


    ¡°Sarah, my¡­stomach¡­hurts¡­¡±


    Once she finished her words, her face turned pale from the redness there a little while ago. She was


    now as pale as a ghost, and there were barely any colours on her face.


    ¡°Wh-what? Even period pain isn¡¯t this extreme. Don¡¯t scare me! How painful is it?¡±


    Sarah tried to pull her to stand, but Riley¡¯s stomach was clenching in pain, and she didn¡¯t have any


    strength at all. The beads of sweat on her forehead were increasing, and her back was wet from her


    sweat in less than a minute.


    This pain didn¡¯t feel like period pain, nor was it like the burn from alcohol¡­


    But¡­


    Riley was startled, ¡°Sarah, send me¡­to the hospital!¡±


    She was probably poisoned.


    ¡°Okay, okay. Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ll get us a cab now!¡±


    However, ever since they came out of the bar, no cab was in sight on the roads. Although Sarah was a


    person who was never afraid of anything, Riley¡¯s painful, trembling look frightened her to bits.


    ¡°Riley, hold on. We¡¯ll reach the hospital in a short while¡­¡±


    Finally, they got into a cab, but they were still quite a distance away from the hospital. Riley felt that she


    might not be able to wait anymore.


    In less than twenty minutes, Riley had already lost all her strength because of the piercing pain from


    her stomach, which then traveled to her whole body. Her clothes were now all wet from her sweat. Her


    hands were pressed tightly against her stomach, strands of hair stuck to her face, and her lips had


    turned purple from the pain.


    ¡°Sa¡­rah¡­If I die, you¡­¡±


    ¡°Hey! Stop that nonsense! Give me your phone! Isn¡¯t that assistant head of the hospital of yours an


    expert? He must have a way to save you! Riley, just rest and don¡¯t speak!¡±


    Sarah reached her hand out to look for Riley¡¯s phone in her handbag. With her shaking hands, she


    finally managed to get a hold of it after quite some time. Then, she swiped a few times on the screen


    before dialing out a number¡­


    ¡°William Hardesty! Something happened to Riley! Please save her¡­boohoo!¡±


    William was already in his pajamas, about to sleep in a moment. After he picked up the call, he was


    obviously stunned for a second, ¡°Riley Watson?¡±


    It was her phone number. That was right.


    ¡°boohoo, yes, Riley Watson! We¡¯re on our way to JD Central Hospital now. Come quick¡­she¡­she


    looks like she is going to die.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be right there!¡±


    William couldn¡¯t even care to change. While still dressed in his pajamas and house slippers, he


    grabbed his car keys and dashed downstairs like a mad man.


    Upon getting into the car, he started the engine and stepped on the elerator to its maximum. He


    sped into the distance with his Mercedes Benz S600 like how one would drive their sports car. The


    shadows of trees on both sides of the roads ovepped and were indistinguishable at this point.


    William even ignored the traffic lights. Right now, he only had Riley in his mind as he kept thinking to


    himself, ¡®Riley, wait for me! I¡¯ll save you!¡¯


    When the doctors in JD Central Hospital saw William who came in his pajamas, a great wave of shock


    washed over them.


    It was unbelievable for them to see Mr. Hardesty, who always had a cut-out suit and a well-ironed white


    coat on him, appeared in this state and was circling the emergency lobby like a mad man in the middle


    of the night.


    When William arrived at the lobby, Riley and Sarah were still on their way. Despite the greetings and


    surprised looks from the other staff, William dashed out once again and dialed Riley¡¯s phone number.


    ¡°Where are you guys?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll be there soon¡­¡±


    ¡°Tell me the car te number!¡±


    Sarah stuttered the string of numbers out with difficulty. Two minutester, they finally arrived at the


    hospital. Once the cab stopped, a tall figure ran to the car door at the speed of light.


    ¡°Riley! Riley, wake up! Mr. Hardesty, she fainted!¡±


    ¡°Open the door!¡±


    William carried Riley in his arms, then dashed to the operating room. One of his slippers even slipped


    off from his feet on the way.


    Initially, Sarah was shocked because of Riley, but now she was utterly stunned by how fast William ran


    with Riley in his arms¡­


    Damn it, was he a superhero? How could he look so attractive even from behind?


    Sarah was a girl who couldn¡¯t resist handsome men. Even right now, she didn¡¯t forget to praise William


    for how good-looking he was!


    Although she didn¡¯t see his face clearly, his back view was already enough to win over the other 99% of


    the men she knew.


    As for that 1%¡­


    ¡°Riley!¡±


    Sarah suddenly came back to her senses. Damn it, where was Riley!


    While William was carrying Sarah to the operating room, he was very anxious, ¡°Get the stretcher! And


    set up the operating room!¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, wake up!¡±


    He hit her face with some force, but there was no reaction from her at all.


    Judging from herplexion and the colour of her lips, she was severely poisoned.


    When Sarah reached the operating room, the door closed right in front of her.


    In a daze, she stared at the closed door and slumped to the ground. Her makeup had already smeared


    from her tears, and her face was coloured with the mix of eyeliner and eyeshadow. Her face looked like


    a colour palette.


    ¡°Riley¡­please be safe¡­boohoo¡­I¡¯m sorry¡­I¡¯ll never ask you out to drink anymore¡­I¡¯m sorry¡­¡±


    Sarah leaned on the wall and just stared at the door without even blinking. If anything were to happen


    to Riley, she wouldn¡¯t want to live anymore.


    In the operating room.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, it seems like Dr. Watson¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up! Gastric suction!¡±


    ¡°Yes¡­¡±


    Riley¡¯s breathing was faint, and her heartbeat was getting weaker by the minute. William pressed onto


    her heart firmly, ¡°Dr. Watson, wake up! You cannot sleep!¡±


    ¡°Bluek!!¡±


    The filth came out of Riley¡¯s mouth. The contents in her stomach were all mixed around, but she didn¡¯t


    know that. And, of course, she wouldn¡¯t be able to see William who was on the verge of getting mad as


    his eyes filled up with warm liquid.


    ¡°Inject! Detox!¡±


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, this kind of poison is very harmful. You should put on the gloves¡­¡±


    ¡°Inject!¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes!¡±


    William held Riley¡¯s face, which was now as pale as snow with his two hands, ¡°Wake up! You¡¯ve always


    been a strong woman. You are a woman who can fight death. You cannot die, do you hear me? Wake


    the hell up!¡±


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    The doctors at the side did not dare to say anything upon seeing William¡¯s current state.


    It was rumoured that something was going on between Mr. Hardesty and Dr. Watson, and that Dr.


    Watson seduced Mr. Hardesty¡­but what they saw today waspletely different.


    Mr. Hardesty¡¯s feelings for Dr. Watson were real! It didn¡¯t look like Dr. Watson seduced him at all¡­


    Moreover, it looked like Mr. Hardesty would die if anything were to happen to Dr. Watson judging from


    how anxious he was earlier.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, the poison in Dr. Watson¡¯s body had mixed up with her blood. The antidote needs a few


    hours to detoxify her blood. Now, she won¡¯t be waking up yet.¡±


    William nodded in a daze and released Riley gently.


    He couldn¡¯t remember how he survived the past three hours. Every time Riley vomited or her heart rate


    dropped, he felt that she was falling off the cliff, and he so desperately wanted to pull her back up!


    ¡°Fortunately, the rescue was in time. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to imagine the consequences. How


    did Dr. Watson get poisoned like this?¡±


    The two doctors pushed open the door to the operating room, and instantly, Sarah ran over to them,


    looking like a female ghost. She grabbed onto their white coats tightly, ¡°Where¡¯s my Riri?! Where is


    she?!¡±

 Chapter 81 Willing To Give You His Life

    Chapter 81 Willing To Give You His Life


    ¡°Your¡­ your Riri?¡±


    A young doctor in the emergency room was so frightened by Sarah¡¯s formidable aura that he didn¡¯t


    understand what she just said.


    Sarah got angry.


    ¡°Do you mean Dr. Watson?¡±


    ¡°Obviously, who else do you think I am talking about? Is she okay?¡±


    Another doctor looked at Sarah and gulped silently. Doctors are all usually obsessed with cleanliness.


    The look on Sarah¡¯s face really disturbed him.


    ¡°The poison in her body has still not beenpletely detoxified, but¡­¡±


    ¡°Not detoxified yet? Damn it! You all are quacks, just here for the money! It has already been hours,


    and you are telling me that her poison is still not removed?¡±


    She showered the doctor with curses, scolding the doctor dizzy, ¡°Ma¡¯am, we have tried our best, but


    the poison is very powerful, so¡­¡±


    ¡°You, aren¡¯t you trying to tell me that she¡­ she is dying, right?¡±


    Sarah grabbed both male doctors by their cors, about to start beating them up.


    The doctors looked at each other in dismay, feeling anxious, ¡°Ma¡¯am, we don¡¯t mean that. Please, let


    us finish our sentence. Just now, our Deputy Dean, Mr. Hardesty rescued her. Don¡¯t worry, he cares


    about Dr. Watson more than you. The poison in her body is being detoxified, but it will take time, okay?¡±


    Sarah finally released their clothes. Her grip had been too strong, and their white coats were torn and


    some pieces were hanging tremblingly on their bodies.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that she is fine. If anything happens to her, I will burn down your hospital!¡±


    The doctors were speechless with fright.


    They ran away nervously.


    She was a little woman with a height of less than 1.6 meters but she was full of explosive power, just


    like a pretty Barbie, but one that could also kick some asses.


    After a while, Riley was pushed out of the emergency room closely followed by William. His red eyes


    clearly showed that he had been crying.


    Sarah carelessly wiped the ck tears of eyeliner and mascara on her face and looked up to see


    William. After running around on his feet all night, he looked exhausted and his hair was messy. But


    even then, it didn¡¯t affect his extraordinarily handsome appearance or his beautifully elegant face in the


    slightest.


    Sarah looked at him and couldn¡¯t stop herself, ¡°Fuck! Are you William Hardesty?¡±


    William was focused on Riley¡¯s heartbeat and he didn¡¯t want to engage in conversation with her. He


    hummed simply in answer.


    Sarah gulped several times, ¡°You¡­ like Riley, don¡¯t you?¡±


    William¡¯s face became hot and he blushed as she suddenly asked him. Then he looked at Sarah,


    ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡±


    Sarah almost forgot that Riley was still hanging between life and death, ¡°Yes, you can! Of course, you


    can! Dr. Hardesty, thank you, you have worked hard.¡±


    Her tone and expressions changed way too quickly.


    Sarah apanied Riley to the observation room. She kept secretly ncing at William the whole


    way. She had heard Riley mention William before, but she never gave it much thought thinking that all


    the Deputy Deans and such people were always middle-aged men. Who would think that a middle-


    aged man liked a female doctor in her twenties? Only a pervert does that!


    But now she found out that William was a young, charming and handsome doctor.


    ¡®Riley, are you an idiot? Don¡¯t let this exquisitely handsome man be damned to the friendzone just


    because of that cruel yboy Euan!¡¯


    Although¡­ Euan was among the top one percent¡­


    Fuck!


    Entering the ward, William stayed by Riley¡¯s side. Even a thick-skinned strong woman like Sarah could


    see that William¡¯s gaze on Riley¡¯s face was filled with deep emotions and soft tenderness.


    Confined by etiquette, William was unable to hold Riley¡¯s hand but he was already embracing her with


    his gaze.


    The only thing the pale little woman lying on the bed did was breathing. Sarah gently wiped her face


    with a towel and kept using her, ¡°Idiot! You are such an idiot.¡±


    William didn¡¯t understand what she meant by it, but he didn¡¯t like Riley being used, ¡°Why are you


    calling her an idiot?¡±


    Sarah looked down at Riley with a smile on the corners of her lips and turned around to respond.


    She put down the towel in her hand and looked solemnly at William. Fuck, he looked even more


    handsome. Perhaps because he thought the pyjamas set was a bit inappropriate for the hospital, he


    had covered it with a doctor¡¯s white coat that the nurse brought over. His clothes inside were not visible


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    unless someone looked at his lower legs. He was really way too elegant.


    ¡°I said, Riley, is an idiot. Do you know about her¡­ I mean¡­¡±


    ¡°The fact that she is married?¡±


    He said naturally, indicating that he knew enough about Riley.


    Sarah¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Fu¡­ Uh! Sorry, I mean¡­ you know she is married? Then, do you know who is


    her husband?¡±


    William nodded.


    Sarah gritted her teeth and lost all her reservations. She had nothing to hide from him, ¡°Well, since you


    know, I won¡¯t hide it. Riley and I have known each other for many years. Her life¡­ is really fucking


    hard.¡±


    Thinking about Riley¡¯s family background, her parents, stepmother, and step-sister, and about her


    three-years of being married, Sarah¡¯s tears began to fall again.


    Sniffling, she said, ¡°In short, Riley suffered a lot. She suffered a lot of hardships and received a lot of


    me. Her marriage with that bastard is worse than staying in the prison. He has tortured her and


    made her into a maid. So¡­ I can only request you, since you like her, please continue to like her no


    matter what!¡±


    ¡°Riley is a smart woman, but we can¡¯t force her to change her heart, so you should be a little patient


    with her. I can see that you care about her very much. If you can, please take her away from that hell.¡±


    Sarah looked just as sincere and anxious like a mother entrusting her child to someone. She sincerely


    hoped that Riley could live a happy life, that she could leave Euan and find her happiness.


    William listened to her patiently, then nodded firmly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will.¡±


    Sarah wiped her tears, ¡°Really? Then¡­ I wish you all happiness!¡±


    William smiled shyly. His ears turning red, looking like a child, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Looking down at Riley, William¡¯s emotions became even moreplicated. Just like Sarah said, Riley¡¯s


    tragic life did not only include her marriage with Euan.


    It didn¡¯t matter if he couldn¡¯t apany her in her past, he could now try his best to give her a happy


    future.


    ¡°Miss Buchanan, you should go and wash your face. I will stay with her for now.¡±


    Sarah was both anxious and excited, she repeatedly said, ¡°Okay, okay. Then, I¡¯ll go!¡±


    Looking back after every three steps, she finally found her way to the bathroom. Sarah looked into the


    mirror and got shocked. Had she been walking around talking to people with her face looking that


    horrible?


    She was a disgrace to her family.


    William sat in the chair next to the window, picked up the towel, and gently wiped Riley¡¯s forehead,


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t give up on you. Whether you decide to stay or leave, I will be there for you.¡±


    The sky outside lightened slowly. William hadn¡¯t slept at all through the night and had stayed with Riley.


    She was the only one he could think about.


    Later, Sarah couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and fell asleep on the sofa. William looked at her sleeping figure


    and smiled helplessly.


    Riley was quite lucky to have such a good friend.


    Riley, who had been unconscious most of the night, finally woke up. She opened her eyes and the first


    thing she saw was William¡¯s anxious but happy face. He looked at her with a smile as if she had


    brought him the sunshine of the whole summer.


    ¡°You woke up!¡±


    His voice was gentle as if nothing happenedst night.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, why are you here? Why¡­ am I here?¡±


    William smiled, ¡°You were brought herest night because you were poisoned. But now you are all


    okay.¡±


    ¡°How about Sarah? Is she okay?¡±


    Riley struggled to get up but was pressed back on the bed by William, ¡°She is okay, still sleeping.¡±


    As he said, he pointed to Sarah who was sleeping curled up on the sofa. Riley sighed in relief and


    smiled at the same time, ¡°I was scared to death.¡±


    ¡°You scared me¡­ us to death.¡±


    He smiled softly, looking tender andforting.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t stay here all night, did you?¡± Seeing him, it looked like he didn¡¯t sleep at all.


    William put one hand in his pocket and checked the IV line with his other hand, ¡°It¡¯s not important.


    What¡¯s important is that you woke up and that the poison has been flushed out. The hospital


    procedures are all taken care of, you can rest now.¡±


    She nodded a little apologetically. She had rejected him repeatedly and behaved indifferently and even


    arrogantly towards him, but he was still so gentle to her. She really didn¡¯t know how to face him.


    ¡°Thank you, Mr. Hardesty.¡±


    ¡°We have washed your stomach so you can¡¯t eat yet. The IV will provide you with the nutrients for now.


    If you get really hungry, then I will give you some glucose injections. Tell me if you feel pain or


    difort.¡±


    Riley never had the chance to be cared for like this, and she nodded in response, ¡°Okay.¡±


    After William left, Sarah woke up. Actually, she had been already awake to witness their conversation.


    ¡®Both idiots! They clearly like each other but still act reserved.¡±


    ¡°Riley, my darling, you woke up! You scared Dr. Hardesty to death.¡±


    Riley smiled weakly, ¡°I think you are more scared.¡±


    ¡°Oh! I was ready to die for you. But now you are fine and I am saved.¡±


    Riley smiled, ¡°Nonsense!¡±


    Sarahid on the side of the bed and said seriously, ¡°Riley, if Dr. Hardesty confesses or proposes to


    you, please agree. I don¡¯t think you will ever meet such a man again in your life.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Sarah told her how she had called the hospitalst night and asked for help and how he had run over in


    slippers. She told him how desperate he looked in the emergency room and how he kept vigil the whole


    night at her bedside.


    ¡°Please think for yourself. If you have a conscience, you should not let him down. The most important


    thing in a woman¡¯s life is to have a man who loves and protects her. Even though, Euan is a heartthrob


    and is very rich, but what has he ever given you? William is willing to give you his life.¡±


    Willing to give you his life¡­


    Such heavy words stirred a million waves in Riley¡¯s heart.


    Was it really because her heart was set on Euan that she had ignored the good men around her?


    Her heart felt another stab of pain when she thought of Euan.


    Euan¡­


    ¡®What should I do?¡¯

 Chapter 82 I Will Tell You What I Want When I See You

    Chapter 82 I Will Tell You What I Want When I See You


    ¡°Pass me the phone.¡±


    Riley stretched out her hand for her cellphone. She wanted to see if Euan had texted or called her


    because she had not returned all night.


    Sarah passed it to her.


    Riley took a deep breath and turned on the screen. The interface was empty; there was no notification


    for missed calls or any messages.


    Her heart sank. Did this mean that her marriage with Euan had reallye to an end?


    But why was she so reluctant to let go?


    Even though she knew that if she went back, she will only receive indifference and pain but she was


    still reluctant.


    ¡°By the way, Riley, how were you poisoned? The wine we drankst night was the same, howe


    only you got poisoned?¡±


    Sarah¡¯s question came at the perfect time.


    True, how was only Riley poisoned?


    She tried to recall every detail ofst night to try and figure out what on earth went wrong. How did the


    poison enter her body? Who was trying to hurt her?


    ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡±


    ¡°You won¡¯t just let this matter go, right? Even if you ignore it, I won¡¯t. I must make the person who


    harmed you pay the price for their actions. Rest well! I will go back to the bar to check the surveince


    footage and find out the person responsible for this and take revenge!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be impulsive! The people in that bar are not easy to mess with, you might offend someone. You


    are a woman, if you go there you will be bullied.¡±


    ¡°Then what should I do? Call the police? The police are all fucking useless, okay? Well, if it can¡¯t be


    done, then¡­ also, about this, are you going to tell Euan?¡±


    Euan?


    Riley shook her head, ¡°No, the less we get him involved, the better. You go home first to eat and


    change your clothes. Then go to my apartment and pick up a couple of my clothes for me to change


    into. You must be really tired. Thank you for doing all this, Darling!¡±


    ¡°Of course, I am tired. How are you going to pay me back, with your body?¡±


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s get married!¡±


    ¡°Fuck! Get what now? Will you be okaymitting polygamy?¡±


    ¡®Fuck! That was the wrong thing to say.¡¯


    Sarah left quickly.


    Her words had awakened Riley from her dream.


    She was right! Even if Riley wanted to start a new life, with William or¡­ even just to regain her


    freedom, she had to get a divorce first.


    It had been almost four years since she had been walking on thin ice in this horrible marriage and she


    felt depressed every day. She wanted to breathe freely.


    The only way she could start again was by leaving Euan.


    At this moment, the phone in her palm vibrated.


    The name that was shining on the screen was Euan.


    ¡®Why would he call at such a time?¡¯


    Riley bit her lip and tried to adjust her heart rate, breathing back to normal. After thinking about what


    she was going to say, she picked up the call.


    As she ced the phone to her ear, Euan¡¯s deep and somewhat cold voice came, ¡°What excuse were


    you thinking about making that you took so long to answer?¡±


    Listening carefully, the sarcasm in his angry voice was mixed with disgust. He must have thought she


    went out to party wildlyst night.


    In other words, all of this was a consequence of her partying wildly.


    Why, even though she was in the hospital half-dead, she still felt remorseful in her heart. Riley hated


    the way she always felt inferior in front of Euan!


    She gritted her teeth and said bluntly, ¡°Why, Euan? Why can you be at home spending passionate


    nights with your woman, but I can¡¯t go out with my friends? I know I am your wife on paper, but this


    does not mean that you can take away my freedom and oppress me!¡±


    Oh!


    He asked her just one question and she bombarded him with such a long speech. She was not the


    same woman she was three years ago.


    Was it that she grew up or was she bing less and less concerned about her husband?


    Euan was obviously not going to let Riley be arrogant in front of him. He stared at the tall sycamore


    tree outside the study window while drumming his slender fingers on the cedarwood table. The air


    around him turned chilly.


    ¡°Wherever you are,e back now. Don¡¯t try to use your work as an excuse. If you say one more time


    that you need to be at work, I will immediately have you fired, no¡­ I will shut down the hospital.¡±


    He was not discussing or even arguing, he was threatening in clear words. If she didn¡¯t obey him, he


    was going to use his means and ruin her careerpletely.


    ¡°Euan, you can¡¯t do that! You are joking around with tens of thousands of lives!¡± Riley choked her


    words out from her dry throat.


    Euan held his forehead with his long fingers, his angr face looked a bit tired. He couldn¡¯t remember


    how many times he had gone out into the living room. He almost hadn¡¯t sleptst night.


    Like she had said once that he could check her duty schedule. Damn it! He had done the most stupid,


    the prettiest thing ever, he had actually checked her schedule.


    Butst night she had gotten off work at the regr time and was not in the hospital in the night!


    How could Euan not be annoyed?


    ¡°Well, Dr. Watson, since you are so concerned about the patients, you¡¯d better show up at the vi right


    now, otherwise¡­¡±


    ¡°Euan, what on earth do you want?¡± Riley didn¡¯t want to listen to him. He had the ability to emotionally


    break her every time he spoke.


    A blue vein was throbbing visibly in Euan¡¯s temple. A gush of early summer wind blew in through the


    window brushing across his handsome face. It was only early summer but he felt chilly bitterly.


    ¡°What do I want? I will tell you what I want when I see you.¡±


    He meant he wanted her at the vi and there was no room for negotiation.


    Riley closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, preparing herself to answer. But before she could say


    anything, she heard a crisp sweet voice on the other side.


    It was Lydia¡¯s voice. The voice was flirtatious, affectionate, soft and gentle.


    ¡°Euan, how do I look in this dress? I am going to attend an event.¡±


    Lydia was wearing a long dress. She had entered the study without bothering to knock and twirled


    around for Euan to see. She was wearing a thin long dress with a deep V neckline which entuated


    her cleavage effortlessly.


    Any man would have minded if his woman went out looking like that, but Euan just said wearily, ¡°Looks


    nice.¡±


    Hearing him, Lydia blushed and smiled happily, ¡°Thank you. There are going to be many reporters in


    the event, I will pick some nice photos and bring them back.¡±


    Euan still held the phone in his ear, he did not hang up the call. He didn¡¯t even move it away from his


    ear, ¡°Okay.¡±


    He dismissed her in just three words.


    There was already a storm raging inside Riley¡¯s heart.


    He had never told her that she looked nice. She used to dress up very carefully before. When she went


    to the George family¡¯s banquet, she had carefully selected a long backless dress before getting ready


    and then asked for his opinion. Seeing her dress, Euan had rejected it indifferently, ¡°What are you


    wearing? Change it!¡±


    After that, she had never asked for his opinion about her dressing.


    Of course, after that, he chose all of her clothes for events and family banquets.


    Her aesthetics were not up to his standards.


    ¡°I will give you one hour! That¡¯s it!¡±


    After finishing speaking, Euan hung up the phone. Riley sneered coldly at the dark screen, ¡°Euan, do I


    owe you something from my past life?¡±


    Grieving, Riley pulled out the IV needle from her hand, lifted the quilt off herself, and got out of bed.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, what happened?¡±


    The person who came running was William. He had changed his clothes and washed his face but the


    redness in his eyes was still very clear.


    ¡°I have to go now. I need to be discharged.¡± Riley bent over to get her shoes, but bending over made


    her dizzy as the blood flowed into her head and her head throbbed with pain!


    William strode over and helped her straighten up, ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°I need to go home, Euan asked me toe back.¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t think before blurting out her personal affairs in front of William. After speaking, she realised


    and changed the subject embarrassedly, ¡°I¡­ I need to wear my shoes.¡±


    William paused in his actions and looked up at her, ¡°Do you want me to go with you?¡±Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    He was very happy that she had shared her distress with him in an emergency.


    ¡°No, I can go by myself. Umm¡­ pretend you didn¡¯t hear what I said just now.¡±


    The damage was already done.


    William¡¯s hands sped around her shoulders lightly, ¡°You can treat it like you didn¡¯t say it, but I can¡¯t


    treat it like I didn¡¯t hear it. Tell me whenever you need me, don¡¯t try to handle it all by yourself, okay?¡±


    The ambiguity suddenly spread between them as Riley¡¯s feelings became a littleplicated. Sarah¡¯s


    words came to her mind again. Such a good man like William¡­


    No, she couldn¡¯t think too much right now.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care what you have to do. You have toe back in three hours. The toxins in your body are


    not yet cleared. If you spend more time than that, your life will be in danger.¡±


    ¡°I know,¡±


    Don¡¯t forget, she was also a doctor.


    Looking at Riley¡¯s stubborn figure from behind, William had mixed feelings in his heart.


    She still refused to be close to him.


    Her weak body seemed like she would fall at any moment. Luckily, she got a taxi.


    Arriving at the vi, Riley just opened the door. Before she had time to change her shoes, a tall ck


    shadow shifted from the living room to her at an rmingly fast speed.


    The hard arm yanked her slender wrist and yanked her up without a second thought.


    The strong man dragged her from the corner of the living room into the long corridor. She nevernded


    her feet during the moment.


    Bang, she was mmed down on the bed by Euan.


    Knitting her eyebrows, she felt very pain in her back and almost shouted out.


    ¡°Flirting all night and nevere back home. Do you still remember who you are?¡±


    He said the sentence, not in a reprimanding manner but surprisingly in a helpless manner.


    But Riley was so tired to distinguish his tone. She propped up on the bed and sat up, ¡°Say, what do you


    really want from me?¡±


    Euan¡¯s tall and upright figure stood with his back facing the window. Only a circle of light in the


    backlight iid his circumference with ayer of gold silk. His face was trapped in the darkness and his


    expression could not be seen.


    ¡°Tell me, what do you really want?¡± He did not answer her question but throwing the question back at


    her.


    Riley gripped the bedsheet with her finger. She felt very ufortable as if something was devouring


    her internal organs, ¡°Euan, I just want the divorce certificate. I don¡¯t want a single penny of your


    property, status, position, and fame. I don¡¯t want anything. I only want to divorce.¡±


    He knew that she would ask for a divorce.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let me hear the word ¡®divorce¡¯ again. It is impossible to divorce.¡± Euan clenched his fist. He


    looked at her with his cold, solemn, and frosty eyes. He felt pain.


    She couldn¡¯t see it.


    Riley sneered, ¡°Just think that I¡¯m dead, can¡¯t you?¡±


    Euan approached her step by step, ¡°Riley, are you a heartless woman!¡±


    Riley who was feeling extreme pain sneered eerily. She gritted her teeth, withstanding the pain,¡± Do


    you want to open my stomach and see? Euan.¡±


    He furiously pinched her chin as if she wanted to pinch her until she was dead. Out of the blue, his


    finger suddenly stiffened. Her face and lips turned as pale as a sheet.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?!¡±

 Chapter 83 Nothing Must Happen To Her

    Chapter 83 Nothing Must Happen To Her


    Two hourster, the hospital corridor.


    "What the hell did you do to her? How did she suddenly be like this!"


    William came out of the emergency room and tightly grabbed Euan''s cor with both hands! The two


    men were of equal height and looked at each other. Anger erupted from each other at the same time.


    People came and went in the corridor outside the emergency room, but no one dared to stop and


    watch William and Euan argue.


    Even those who had just passed by had walked around.


    William was known as a gentleman at the hospital. But now he was fighting with MBK''s Euan in the


    corridor of the hospital, pulling his cor! This was appalling.


    The president of MBK was in the corridor of the hospital and Mr. Hardesty was holding him by the


    cor! This was even more appalling.


    Euan''s dark eyes burned with fury. He locked William''s pupils, "Let go."


    Not only did William not let go, but he also tugged harder and harder on the cor of his white shirt,


    "You really don''t care about her at all! Do you know she''s poisoned!"


    "Poisoned? You said she was poisoned?" Euan''s eyes suddenly contracted. This stupid woman had


    actually been poisoned?


    He hadn''t known. She hadn''t said a word about it when she got home this morning.


    "You didn''t even know she was poisoned?!"


    William grew angrier and angrier. He drew one hand into a fist and smashed it into Euan''s face. And


    thetter swiftly reached out and grabbed his fist!


    "Tell me, what''s going on?" Euan''s eyes erupted with murderous intent.


    William broke his grip and loosened his cor at the same time, "She was poisonedst night. It was a


    strong poison. Although resuscitated in time, the residue of the poison is still in her system. So she had


    to undergo aplete purging of the poison. But this morning, she insisted on being discharged from


    the hospital ..."


    At this point, William looked coldly at Euan. His elegant, clean face twisted with all the anger he could


    muster. He said, word for word, "She said something was going on at home!"


    Ultimately, it was Euan''s fault.


    Euan was not afraid to take responsibility. But he flipped his hand and yanked William''s cor. A lion-


    like murderous aura clouded his surroundings, "When is she going to wake up?"


    "Depending on the patient''s own condition. I don''t know."


    It was second-degree deterioration. Even he couldn''t tell.


    "You are the quack! I think you can get out of the hospital right now!"


    He didn¡¯t know! How could that be!


    William smiled, somewhat bitterly and helplessly, "Yes, it was because of my poor medical skills that I


    was not able to cure her immediately. But you, Euan, as her husband, you were indifferent to your own


    wife. Isn''t it all the more reason for you to get the hell out of her side?"


    "Heh, in what status are you speaking to me now, Mr. Hardesty?" He said with cold sarcasm.


    The awkwardness of William''s identity was the biggest gap between the two. To say that they were


    leaders and colleagues would obviously be too feeble, "Why should one be in any status to do the right


    thing?"


    Fine! Euan released the white coat from his grasp, "Say, what happened to her? How did she get


    poisoned? Where was she poisoned?"


    William held back his anger. At this point, he couldn''t hide it from Euan. After all, this was about the


    truth and the killer. Besides, Euan had a right to know.


    "Last night, her best friend called me out of the blue. When I arrived at the hospital, she was already


    unconscious. It''s something you''ll have to ask her best friend about or wait until she wakes up and ask


    her."


    William''s soft face tightened with heartache.


    Two thoughts unfolded simultaneously in Euan''s mind. The first, it turned out that she had been


    poisoned. Secondly, the first person she thought of when she was poisoned was not actually him, but


    William.


    Euan became even angrier.


    "Riley!"


    Seeing Riley being wheeled out of the emergency room, Sarah rushed wildly towards the stretcher, "I


    thought she was out of danger. Why did she go back in? You ..."


    She gave a re. Fuck, why was Euan here!


    Fuck, why was this atmosphere so scary?


    William looked at Riley''s pale face and his heart ached, "There''s been a little ident. You go to the


    ward and take good care of her. Thank you."


    Seeing the two men in this position, Sarah didn''t dare linger. She nodded and followed the stretcher to


    the ward.


    Euan nced coldly at William and turned to follow her.


    "What happenedst night?"


    Euan''s imposing demeanor scared Sarah into stammering. But as the victim, Sarah felt no need to


    chicken out.


    So she described the events ofst night.


    Euan''s cold eyes were tinged with fire, burning Sarah who immediately lowered her head. It was over.


    After all, it was her fault.


    "So, Ms. Taylor, I really should thank you for taking her out and having a good night."


    His voice was icy with terror.


    Sarah gritted her teeth, "I ... I didn''t know it was going to be like this."


    Euan looked down at Sarah, who was a good deal shorter than he was, "She better be okay.


    Otherwise, you are to me."


    With those words, Euan didn''t linger in the ward for more than a moment. He just strode away with his


    long legs wrapped in suit trousers.


    His back was magnificent and he looked furious. Standing on the balcony, he dialed Elijah''s number.


    "Check everyone who showed up at the Yes Barst night. Don''t spare a single person!"


    "Yes! I''ll be right there."


    Elijah didn''t ask him why he was checking. But Euan was so angry, he thought something must have


    happened.


    "If the bar doesn''t cooperate with you, put it out of business for good tonight."


    "Don''t worry, boss. I''ll check it out right away."


    Poisoned? The poison would not have been drunk by her identally. Someone must be secretly


    trying to kill her.


    If he knew, that person would die!


    He gripped the phone vigorously in his long, clean hand, almost breaking the tiny metal object. But


    what Euan was actually trying to break was the person who had hurt Riley!


    He was furious. This time he was bound to kill anyone who stood in his way!


    Elijah rushed to the hospital and was told that there was no CCTV footage of the barst night as there


    was a problem with the bar''s surveince equipment.


    "Give me all records of bank card purchases. Remember, it''s all of them. "


    Everyone knew who Elijah was representing everywhere he went. But the bar had its rules. If they


    disclosed information about guests without permission ...


    "Mr. Parker, this ... is also very difficult for us. If our guests know that we have disclosed their


    information privately, I am afraid ... we will not be able to do business in the future. "


    Elijah''s lips lifted as he nced at him coldly with indifference. The coldness at the corner of his mouth


    was less than a third of Euan''s, but it was enough, "In that case, I see no need for you to do business


    in the future."


    With that, Elijah was about to make a phone call. In JD City, Euan didn''t even need to do it himself if he


    wanted to crush a bar.


    "Wait, wait, wait, Mr. Parker ... this way, please. But please keep it a secret ..."


    "You talk a lot of nonsense."


    Elijah said this coldly, and the barman dared not say another word.


    With the credit card purchases, it could only mean that they had a slight clue. But the murderer didn''t


    necessarily spend money here. Things remained confusing.


    Elijah drew up a list of the credit card purchases and handed it to Euan, who tapped his fingers on the


    table. After flipping through it, he frowned, "That''s a very inefficient way to search like this."


    Elijah said carefully, "So what are you going to do?"


    Euan dropped the list and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the president''s office in the


    MBK building. In front of him, the building of JD City was under his feet. The serious man looked deeply


    into the distance, trying to uncover the murderer.


    "Wait, let him take the bait himself."


    "Boss, he poisoned Mrs. George. I''m afraid he would have fled long ago after he got his hands on her.


    How could he possibly show himself again?"


    Euan''s thin lips rose gently, and his inscrutable eyes overflowed with brilliance, "Do as I say. I''m not


    afraid he won''t take the bait."


    Elijah pricked up his ears to hear Euan''s instructions and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Good idea, boss.


    I''m going to execute it now."


    A cold, chilling mist hissed from the back of the man''s upright hand. In a moment, he dialed another


    number.


    "Prepare the car and go to the hospital."


    Riley had been unconscious for over three hours when she finally woke up.


    Slowly opening her eyes, she saw a tall, dark figure. The man stood with his back to her. His ck suit


    was well ironed, and he wore ck trousers, looking upright.


    Euan.


    He wouldn''t have been here the whole time, would he?


    Riley''s throat was dry. She swallowed hard, "What are you doing here?"


    Hearing her speak, Euan did not immediately turn around. To be precise, he couldn''t bear to and didn''t


    dare. He was afraid that he would not be able to help himself from breaking down at the sight of her


    haggard face.


    "I''m going to call the doctor."


    His voice was a little cold, with barely any emotion. No matter how carefully she listened, she couldn''t


    hear the concern.


    A sour taste came over her, "Thank you."


    Her polite remark put distance between the two.


    Before Euan could leave, William came in, followed by some doctors. As it was office hours, William


    was bound to be followed everywhere he went.


    William waspletely relieved to see Riley awake. The clean, well-fitting white coat looked


    surprisingly good on him. She had only noticed today that Mr. Hardesty stood out in the crowd.


    "Well, it''s trouble for you again, Mr. Hardesty."


    "No trouble, how do you feel now? Does your stomach still hurt? Any more of that burning sensation? I


    gave you a booster antidote this morning, which will have the side effect of dizziness and a tickling


    throat. Don''t be afraid, it''ll go away in a few hours."


    Riley wanted tough a little. Why did William just sound like he was talking to a child?


    "It doesn''t hurt anymore. I¡¯m fine." She replied as Euan was still there.


    "That''s good!" The tension on William''s face was reced by a smile.


    One of the doctors following behind him chuckled, "Dr. Watson, you don''t know that Mr. Hardesty


    couldn''t wait to finish examining the patients when he checked in just now. He even put off the Dean''s


    summons and came straight from the inpatient unit."


    Riley was touched and guilty, "Thank you ..."


    "You and I don''t have to be polite to each other ..." He saw Euan''s expressionless face from the corner


    of his eye, "You''re a talent for the hospital. You must get well soon. The hospital needs you."


    Euan remained expressionless, but his heart was churning with anger. Finally, his anger merged into


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    one sentence, "Since Mr. Hardesty is so busy, why don''t you go?"


    And he just blew William off ...


    It really fitted Euan''s style of doing things.


    Turning back to look at her again, Euan''s handsome face changed from icy to dark, "What? You


    couldn''t wait to divorce me just to be in his arms?"


    She didn''t bother to talk to him!


    "Euan, you''re thinking too much. I simply want a divorce. It has nothing to do with anyone else."


    "I don''t think I''m thinking enough! You''re flirting with him right in front of me. Did you even climb into his


    bed when I was away? Eh?!"


    "You ..."


    Unreasonable! Making nderous charges!


    While they were arguing, Euan''s phone rang. It was Elijah''s call.


    "Boss, the has been cast. We''re just waiting for that murderer to take the bait."


    Euan looked calmly at the stubborn woman, who was looking away, on the bed, and said in an icy


    voice, "I want to make sure that there is no risk at all. Nothing must happen to her ..."

 Chapter 84 Euan, Don’t Get Fooled

    Chapter 84 Euan, Don¡¯t Get Fooled


    ¡°What? She found out?¡±


    In an office on the top floor in a high-ss office building which was located in JD City¡¯s CBD business


    district.


    Kaysorn jumped from the chair. He fell harshly onto the edge of the table because he used too much


    force on hisme leg. He grimaced in pain.


    ¡°Shit! How did she find out! Impossible!¡±


    Kaysorn¡¯s face was twisted. He walked around the table and went up to his underling, ck Tiger. He


    clenched ck Tiger¡¯s neck with his unhurt hand and said, ¡°Repeat yourself! What happened?¡±


    ck Tigerwas the one responsible to poison the targetst night. He was not sighted and did a clean


    job. He left the pub immediately after the job and also broke all the surveince cameras in the pub. He


    was also puzzled at what happened.


    ¡°The incident about Riley being poisoned was out. The evidence was pointing towards the bar. The


    still unconscious, but the truth will be out once she wakes up¡­ Young master, she saw youst night at


    the bar¡­ She¡¯s not dumb, she¡¯ll definitely know that it was you.


    Kaysorn¡¯s hand which was grabbing his underling¡¯s neck suddenly went limp and he let go. He wasn¡¯t


    wrong, Riley was intelligent. She would figure out that it was him¡­


    ¡°But, young master. Even if she thought that it was you, she didn¡¯t have any evidence. The police


    shouldn¡¯t be able to charge you with anything,¡± asked ck Tigercarefully.


    ¡°What do you know! Knowing Euan, he would probably kill everyone until he found the culprit¡­not to


    mention¡­¡± He looked at his wound. He was just fooling around the other day and Euan almost killed


    him. He would be dead meat if Euan were to find out about this.


    ¡°Riley the bitch would tell Euan that she saw me, and Euan would kill me¡­No, he wouldn¡¯t just kill me,


    he would¡­¡±


    Kaysorn¡¯s pupils erged. He didn¡¯t want to imagine how Euan would torture him!


    Euan was a sick bastard!


    No¡­ no way!


    ¡°Then, then what should we do now?¡± ck Tiger¡¯s was trembling.


    Kaysorn clenched his fist and his dark pupil¡¯s constricted, ¡°We failed to poison herst time, but we


    would seed this time! We have to put an end to this, let¡¯s kill her before she wakes up!¡±


    ck Tiger was taken aback, ¡°But young master, she is kept in a protected ward in the JD Central


    Hospital, that¡¯s not good for us.¡±


    Kaysorn smirked wintrily, ¡°Then we¡¯ll make here to us. Either she dies or we die, Listen, ck


    Tiger¡­¡±


    ck Tiger¡¯s face turned ck and then it turned pale listening to Kaysorn¡¯s n. And then he smiled


    eerily.


    ¡°You¡¯re so brilliant, young master. This is a great idea! The bitch is dead meat this time!¡±


    Kaysorn sneered and snorted ominously, ¡°Not only that! Euan broke my arm and my nose bridge. He


    made me a cripple. I must take my revenge!¡±


    ¡°What¡­what are you nning to do, young master?¡±


    Kaysorn raised his pointer finger and slid it across his neck, ¡°Kill him as well!¡±


    In the hospital ward, the poison in Riley¡¯s body was removed. Though her body was really weak and


    she was told to rest in the hospital for further observation.


    She was used to being busy and was bored doing nothing. She walked around therge and empty


    VIP ward and suddenly, her phone rang.


    ¡°Dr¡­Dr. Watson¡­Rescue¡­save me¡­¡±


    She could hear someone dying on the other end of the phone, the person sounded very weak!


    Riley tensed up, ¡°What happened? Stay calm and tell me about it.¡±


    ¡°My heart¡­heart attack¡­¡± The patient¡¯s voice trailed off and they sounded like they were about to die


    any second.


    ¡°Where are you? Tell me your location, quick!¡±


    Riley held her phone with one hand and put on her shoes with the other. She grabbed a jacket and ran


    out of the room.


    ¡°I¡¯m at¡­XH road¡­please¡­¡±


    And then there was no more sounding from the other end of the phone.


    As Riley was about to run out of the room, she was stopped by a person who looked like a bodyguard,


    ¡°You cannot leave.¡±


    ¡°Let go of me! My patient is in trouble. I don¡¯t care whose order is it, let go of me this instant!¡±


    XH road was not far away from the hospital. She thought that her old patient had to be on the way to


    the hospital for a check-up and had someplications. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t know her number.


    Riley ran to the intersection of the road. She looked around but she couldn¡¯t see anybody.


    Amidst searching, someone opened the door from the passenger¡¯s seat of a ck car and the person


    peeked out of the car, ¡°Dr¡­ Watson¡­¡±


    ¡°How are you feeling? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll drive us to the hospital.¡±


    The patient Riley¡¯s main priority now. She quickly climbed into the car and kneeled on the car seat,


    trying to check the patient¡¯s heartbeat and pulse.


    Suddenly, the car door closed!


    The man on the driver¡¯s seat smiled menacingly, ¡°Dr. Watson, you¡¯re not very bright.¡±


    ¡°Who are you? Open the door!¡±


    Riley then passed out from a blow on her head by a heavy object.


    ¡°What did you say? She disappeared? Damn it, you guys are dead meat!¡±


    Elijah received a call from the people he ced to watch Riley in the hospital. He was about to flip the


    table. They wanted to use Riley to bait the criminal, but before the fish grabbed the bait and ran away


    with it instead!


    Mr. George would kill them!


    ¡°Block all the road and check the surveince cameras, quick ¡±


    Euan was in the office when he heard the news. He hurled the stack of cash he was holding harshly


    onto the ground. He walked around relentlessly and said, ¡°A bunch of useless people! Check the


    surveince cameras and check every person in it¡­ and check Riley¡¯s call log as well!¡±


    Euan threw the phone against the wooden table, ¡°Fuck!¡±


    The person grabbed her right under his nose.


    10 minutes had passed.


    ¡°Mr. George, we found out that she wasst seen at XH road. She went into a ck Lexus and the car


    te was covered.¡±


    ¡°How about her call log?¡±


    ¡°Thest call was from a webphone and it wasn¡¯t traceable. Mr. George, this was a plotted kidnap.¡±


    Euan¡¯s keen eyes were ice-cold. A plotted kidnap? Then the person behind this had to be the same


    person who tried to poison her. She didn¡¯t die from the poison and the person was trying to finish the


    job.


    Who did she anger?


    Shit!


    ¡ª¡ª


    Riley¡¯s head was throbbing after being hit so hard by the heavy object. She tried to open her eyes and


    she noticed that she was in an empty, abandoned room. The windows had spider webs on them and


    the sunlight shining through the window was blinding her eyes. She squinted her eyes ufortably.


    ¡°Yo, you¡¯re up, pretty.¡±


    Who was that?!


    Riley was about to turn around when she realized that she was tied to a pir. She couldn¡¯t move her


    hands and her torso was bounded as well. She struggled as hard as she could, but she only felt pain


    on her wrist from the rope burn.


    ¡°Don¡¯t waste your energy, you¡¯re not getting away.¡±


    The man was wearing a mask and was holding a sharp de. She couldn¡¯t see his face and he was


    slowly approaching her. He caressed her face with the de. The cold metal felt like a snake slithering


    on her face. She felt a shiver down her spine and got goosebumps all over.


    ¡°Who are you? Why did you bring me here?¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t even look at the de. She tried to be calm and not get intimidated by this person.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m someone you know of course. Otherwise, why would I put so much effort to invite you here?¡±


    The person sounded vile, he had to be a dangerous person!


    Riley squinted her keen eyes, ¡°Which bastard wanted to see me? Make him show his face!¡±


    ¡°You have such a strong personality, you¡¯re indeed Euan¡¯s woman. You¡¯ve been with him for so long


    and even your temper is simr to his,¡± said the man as heughed eerily. He caressed her face with


    the de continuously, her skin was sliced open and she started to bleed.


    ¡°What are youughing at? Tell your boss to show his face. What, he has the guts to bring me here but


    not the guts to see me?¡±


    Riley tried to show him that she wasn¡¯t afraid at all. She watched a lot of movies about kidnapping and


    she knew that the kidnappers would only be more nefarious with their extortion if she showed her fear


    and tried to beg them to release her.


    But she thought about it and she had nothing to give them.


    Unless they involved Euan¡­


    ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a rush. The other VIP is not here yet, why will our boss show his face so soon?¡±


    The man was messing around with Riley¡¯s phone, ¡°Do you want to see your husband for thest time


    before you die? Euan, the second-to-none tycoon. How ironic it would be if the legend in the real estate


    world were to die here¡­¡±


    ¡°You guys want to kidnap him? You guys must be bonkers.¡±


    ¡°We are betting on you. Betting on if Euan woulde here and die for you. How does that sound?¡±


    The man was fiddling around with her phone. The phone¡¯s lock code already cracked and he looked up


    Euan¡¯s number. He showed it to her.


    ¡°He won¡¯te! We are not¡­¡±


    The phone call went through.


    Euan was looking into the incident when he suddenly saw her number calling. He tensed up violently


    and said, ¡°Where are you?!¡±


    ¡°Mr. George, calm down.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t her!


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make you die a horrible death if you dare to harm a hair on her head!¡± The vein on Euan¡¯s forehead


    was popping and his hand which was holding the phone was boiling.


    Riley shook her head repeatedly, she tried to make some noise and wanted to tell him not to get


    tricked. But her mouth was taped, and she could make undecipherable noises.


    ¡®Don¡¯t get fooled! Euan, you¡¯re a smart person. Don¡¯t get fooled.¡¯


    Euan heard Riley¡¯s muffled voice and was sure that Riley was on their hands.


    ¡°Mr. George, I don¡¯t care if you kill me¡­ But Mrs. George will be apanying me so that I won¡¯t be


    lonely.¡±


    Euan raised his hand and stopped the people who were looking into the phone number and checking


    the surveince camera. The room turned dead silent.


    ¡°Tell me, what do you want from me?¡±


    He was calm, stern and cold.


    His frigid calmness stormed across the room like an electromaic wave.


    ¡°Well, you have money. I¡¯m a bit tight with money recently, would you give me a helping hand?¡±


    Riley heard that and knew immediately that it was a lie. They wanted Euan¡¯s life! The money was only


    a disguise!


    ¡®Don¡¯t get fooled, Euan!¡¯


    There was no emotion on Euan¡¯s face, but he was slightly sweating, ¡°How much?¡±


    ¡°Five hundred million. That¡¯s nothing to you, right?¡±


    Five hundred million was indeed not much to him, ¡°Fine, five hundred million. Time and location?¡±


    ¡°Hahaha! Do you think that we are so easy to fool, Mr. George? Why would we tell you the time and


    location now? To expose ourselves?¡±


    ¡°Shut up! Tell me now if you want the money!¡±


    Euan was raging in anger and he yelled into the phone!


    Suddenly, he heard a grunt. Riley got kicked in the stomach!


    He then heard a suppressed groan.


    Euan frowned and he clenched his fist!


    ¡°Mr. George, be nicer if you don¡¯t want us to hurt her. She¡¯s now my cash cow and I can do anything I


    want to her before I get the money.¡±


    ¡°Wait! How am I supposed to give you the money then?¡±


    The man scoffed, ¡°Five hundred million. Bring it to me in person. If you dare to bring someone along, I¡¯ll


    ruin her face. If you call the cops¡­ then I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll kill her immediately.¡±


    ¡°Five hundred million in person? I¡¯ll need a truck.¡±


    The man was taken aback, but he quickly said, ¡°Make it a sovereign bond then. You can manage that I


    believe.¡±


    Euan frowned deeply, ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°Great, I¡¯ll be waiting for your arrival, Mr. George.¡±


    Before he hung up, Euan yelled, ¡°I can give you the money, but before that, I want to know that she is


    safe. Give her the phone!¡±

 Chapter 85 Why Is a Person as Smart as Him Stupid

    Chapter 85 Why Is a Person as Smart as Him Stupid


    ¡°Sorry then, Mr. George. Your woman is not convenient to talk to you right now. However, I can be a


    good guy, I can show you how your woman looks like now.¡±


    The man in ck aimed at Riley¡¯s wretched appearance and took a photo.


    The same photo appeared in Euan¡¯s text message list. Euan¡¯s upright body slightly trembled. His hand


    gained support from the back of the chair and he managed to stand still again.


    ¡°I give you an hour to prepare the money, Mr. George¡­You better don¡¯t y tricks. Since we dare to


    harm your woman, we are ready to kill her who is held for ransom. If you dare to fight, then we y a


    game to see who is more willing to sacrifice something.¡±


    Finished speaking, the phone was hung up.


    After Euan put down the phone, his cold voice sounded in the silent room, ¡°Elijah,e with me.¡±


    Ten minutester, in the president¡¯s office of MBK International Building.


    ¡°Boss, how is Mrs. George¡­¡±


    He waved his hand to stop him, ¡°Let the finance department cash out 500 million yuan and turn it to


    government bonds in twenty minutes, and give it to me.¡±


    ¡°The kidnappers want money only?¡±


    Euan nodded slowly, ¡°Yeah. Prepare the money and drive the modified bulletproof car here.¡±


    Elijah had ayer of perspiration on his forehead, ¡°Yes!¡±


    After ordering, Euan opened the built-in safe in the office. He opened the door and took out a pistol


    from it.


    Even if he was alone, he definitely would not give enemies the opportunity to control him.


    Twenty minutester, Elijah came in with arge box full of government bonds. It was 500 million yuan.


    If it was CNY, it would fully fill the space of a room.


    ¡°Boss, if you go there alone¡­That gang of robbers will not let the hostage go easily.¡± Elijah took the


    box and refused to let go of it.


    To his self-interest, his first thought was actually that although Riley¡¯s was worth 500 million yuan, who


    could be more worthy than Mr. George¡¯s life?


    ¡°Put the box down.¡±


    Elijah gritted his teeth, ¡°Boss, you¡¯re the¡­president of MBK, you¡¯re the young master of the George


    family¡­¡± Whatever you did was going to shake the worlds of finance and real estate in JD City¡­


    Euan silently nced at him, ¡°She can¡¯t have an ident. I won¡¯t have an ident too.¡±


    Elijah gritted his teeth, ¡°I¡¯ll send some people to follow you, they won¡¯t be discovered.¡±


    ¡°Cannot!¡±


    Despite being one who was always not even afraid of death, now, he did not dare to take a risk on


    Riley.


    ¡°At least let us know that you¡¯re safe¡­if you go alone¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯lle back alive.¡±


    His certainty and indifference made Elijah feel that his worry was simply insulting his boss¡¯ IQ. So, he


    shut up.


    Euan dialled the phone, ¡°The money is ready. I¡¯ll go by myself. Tell me the address.¡±


    ¡°So fast! Good.¡±


    After getting the address, Euan lifted the box and went downstairs.


    Whereas, inside the old and rundown house of the suburb, the tape on Riley¡¯s mouth was finally ripped


    off.


    ¡°Bastards! What are you guys going to do to him?!¡±


    ¡°Do what? You¡¯ll know it in a moment.¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth, ¡°Oh, trying to threaten him using me?¡±


    That was right. She could see that they were trying to use her to threaten Euan so that he woulde


    alone and be a sitting duck.


    Dream on!


    ¡°Beauty, you didn¡¯t just find out, didn¡¯t you? However, Euan is really fast at doing things. 500 million


    yuan is prepared in less than twenty minutes. It seems that he really cares about you, haha!¡±


    ¡°Bullshit! We¡¯ll be divorced soon, he cares about me? He¡¯s trying to personally crush scumbags like


    you guys in case you guys be an eyesore to him!¡±


    ¡°p!¡±


    Before Riley finished cursing, the left side of her face was severely pped. The blood spilled out of


    the corner of her lips and it was as red as fire.


    ¡°Divorce, huh? But, this man who is about to be your ex-husband ising. You guys will be


    reunited very soon.¡±


    What! Euan was reallying here!


    He totally did not love her and did not care about her, why did hee!


    Riley could die but Euan absolutely could not.


    Countless thoughts quickly appeared in her mind. She sped up the rey of all her memories and she


    found that she was surprisingly willing to die for him.


    It was a very woeful thought but sadly, she could not deny it.


    ¡°You guys won¡¯t have the chance, before he arrives here, I¡­¡± Before finishing her words, she bit hard


    her own tongue!


    If one really had to die, let her be the one!


    ¡°Damn woman!¡±


    The man ruthlessly kicked in Riley¡¯s abdomen. She was so painful that her entire body had spasms.


    Her teeth loosened from biting the tongue and a bloody taste filled her mouth. She bit her tongue but


    she failed to kill herself.


    Damn it! Biting the tongue to kill oneself was surprisingly so difficult! Wasn¡¯t the sess rate very


    fucking high! From a perspective of medical science, this was possible!


    The pain of the abdomen made Riley who was on the pir felt an extreme agony. Her hands could not


    move and she could only close her eyes to ease the pain.


    ¡­


    Euan drove to the first location but he found that there was nobody around.


    The reason they let him go there first was to see if anyone was following him. This was amon trick.


    The phone rang for the second time.


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    ¡°Mr. George, you¡¯ve cooperated well. Now, head to the west for ten kilometres and you¡¯ll see.¡±


    ¡°I want to make sure she is safe. This time, I don¡¯t want to see photos!¡±


    Thest trace of expectation in his mind was sparkling. Euan hoped that it was a scam. He did not care


    how much money he lost, he just wanted her to be entirely fine!


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    As the man said, he recorded a video of Riley. The face and body of the woman who was tied to the


    pir were with blood everywhere. She stared at the camera with widened eyes and was shaking her


    head violently.


    Hisst expectation broke.


    He clearly felt what was heartbreak and understood what was heartache even more.


    All heartbreak and heartache came from a word, love.


    He was drawn into it. Although he hated the helpless feeling of being swayed by emotions, he was


    really drawn into it.


    ¡®Stupid woman, wait for me, I would save you.¡¯


    Euan gripped the steering wheel and fully stepped on the elerator based on the kidnappers¡¯


    guidelines. Although it was ten kilometres, he arrived in the blink of an eye.


    The lonesome suburb was deserted. The factory in the distance had been abandoned years ago. What


    he saw was an abandoned two-storey building that was nearby.


    This should be the ce¡­


    Riley was inside.


    Inside the house.


    A few men suddenly appeared from different parts of the room. They put gasoline tanks around Riley


    which formed a circle with Riley in the centre.


    After that, the kidnapper held up a gun and nodded to the men who just appeared. They understood


    that they were told to hide in different locations in the room.


    Then, the kidnapper grabbed Riley by the chin, ¡°Hey you, you know how to behaveter, right? If you


    say something wrong, our sniper may identally¡­ shoot Euan in the head. Got it?¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth and tears welled up in her eyes. Tears and sweat were mixing on her pale face


    and they dripped onto the side of her lips. They mixed with the blood on her lips and dripped onto her


    white shirt. Her white shirt was dyed red.


    Why would youe? You ignored me for 3 years and humiliated me for another three. You could


    have your peace and not need to feel conflicted about it anymore. So why did you choose toe?


    She cried a river thinking about it. Her shoulder violently trembled as she cried silently.


    Euan parked his car in front of the shabby house and stood right in the middle of the door without any


    fear. He was in a luxurious ck suit and at this moment, he looked like Grim Reaper. He nced


    across the empty hall on the first floor with a keen and cold gaze, one hand in the pocket and no


    emotions on his face.


    He didn¡¯t look like he was here to rescue someone but was just here to observe.


    Nobody could win against his presence.


    ¡°Mr. George, you are a real man. Come on in.¡±


    The kidnapper in the ck shirt was holding his gun. He smirked as he saw the suitcase Euan¡¯s was


    holding.


    ¡°I got the money, where¡¯s Riley?¡±


    Euan said with a frigid tone of voice.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t let you go home empty-handed. You came all the way here after all.¡±


    The kidnapper walked in front and Euan followed him. He observed the house frantically and was


    looking for hidden traps with his sharp eyes and keen senses.


    It felt calm, but he was sure that they had something nned for him.


    He could feel a murderous intention in the air. It was familiar and substantial, reminding him of a feeling


    he felt before in the past.


    Euan acted like he didn¡¯t notice anything and suddenly, the kidnapper halted in his tracks.


    ¡°Mr. George, bullets don¡¯t have eyes. Please be careful.¡±


    Euan snorted coldly, ¡°Bring me to her!¡±


    The man walked upstairs. It was a shabby house and the stairs were not in good condition. The dust


    was sticking to Euan¡¯s pants as he walked. His Armani cks were soon covered in dust, turning white.


    As they turned around the corner, Euan saw a woman being tied to a pir¡­


    He felt his heart throbbed and his eyes were turning warm. It was hard to breathe as if someone were


    choking him. His tears might fall if he wasn¡¯t being careful.


    But he was Euan George.


    Euan let go of the suitcase and it fell onto the ground. The gust of dust swirled around him and dirtied


    Euan¡¯s suit jacket. He grimaced.


    Riley closed her eyes in despair seeing Euan standing right in front of her. Her tears fell and she said


    sarcastically, ¡°Yo, ain¡¯t it Mr. George? What are you doing here? Joining the fun or trying to rescue me?


    Haha, but I¡¯m nothing to you. Get the fuck out! I don¡¯t want to see you here!¡±


    The sniper hiding in the dark aimed his gun at Euan.


    The man in ckughed, ¡°Your man is here to save you and you give him such a reaction.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s not my man! He sleeps around and never thinks of himself as my man,¡± she said as she smiled.


    She then looked up slowly and said, ¡°Mr. George, have you finally decided to sign the divorce paper?


    Are you going to sign it today?¡±


    Riley signalled Euan about the location of the sniper with her eyeballs as she talked. Euan was a smart


    man, he had to understand what she was trying to tell him.


    Euan was here. No matter what his intention was, she wouldn¡¯t let him die.


    With one hand in his pocket, Euan looked at Riley. His eyes were filled with disdain and he didn¡¯t even


    bother to take a second look at her, ¡°You think I¡¯m here to rescue you? You¡¯re so na?ve, Riley. I¡¯m just


    here to end you myself. Do you really think I¡¯m here to rescue you after all you¡¯ve done? Sleeping


    around with other men during the past three years and giving me a bad name?¡±


    He then looked at the man in ck and said, ¡°Thank you for leaving her alive for me. Here¡¯s the money


    and her life is mine to take now.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha! Euan, do you really think that we are stupid?¡±


    The sniper aimed at Euan¡¯s head, ¡°Both of you will die today!¡±


    Euan didn¡¯t move, ¡°I¡¯m already on your turf and there¡¯s no way that I can escape. But before I die, I


    want to kill her with my own hands. One of the most shameful thing that can happen to a man is being


    betrayed by your own woman. I, Euan George, will never forgive that.¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at the kidnapper, ¡°Lend me a bullet and I¡¯ll give you the MBK International


    Corporation.¡±


    The man was shocked! What the heck was happening?


    His young master wanted him to kill both of them. What should he do in this situation?!


    The man dialled Kaysorn¡¯s number, ¡°Young master¡­¡±


    After exining the situation and talking to his young master, the man finally stood his ground, ¡°Stop


    yapping! Stand over there!¡±


    Euanughed, ¡°Your young master is making you his scapegoat as he watches everything while hiding.


    You¡¯ll be responsible for anything that happens. Why are you doing this for him?¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    The man was quite the good-for-nothing, otherwise, he would¡¯ve already shot Euan and Riley long ago.


    Euan took some paper out of his pocket, ¡°I didn¡¯t n to leave here alive the moment I decided to


    Corporation share transfer document. If I sign this, you¡¯re effectively MBK¡¯s president. I don¡¯t have


    much time left. I want to kill the woman who betrayed me before I die.¡±


    He walked up and pressed the gun that the man was holding against himself, and put the documents


    on the dusty table.


    ¡°Take a look.¡±


    The man couldn¡¯t believe his ears, he was shaken. MBK! The temptation was too intense! He was


    willing to make the deal even if it could be a fake deal. Also, Euan¡¯s conditions were easy to fulfil.


    Riley¡¯s eyes were wide open. Medical report? What the hell? Was it fake or real?


    ¡°Euan, you¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡± said Euan in a disgusted tone of voice.


    She didn¡¯t understand what was happening! Euan was too calm! He was way too calm! As if he was


    really ready to die!


    The man looked at the documents, ¡°Cancer¡­¡± He frowned, ¡°This is really MBK¡¯s share transfer


    document¡­¡±


    It had an embossing seal and an official stamp on it.


    Euan didn¡¯t think that the kidnapper would do something like this. He had a gun with him, but he


    couldn¡¯t use it otherwise the gasoline tanks would explode!


    Suddenly, Euan sneered and said, ¡°Wait, I changed my mind¡­¡±

 Chapter 86 You Will Know After You Touch It

    Chapter 86 You Will Know After You Touch It


    When Euan George spoke, Riley Watson and the man in ck were stunned at the same time.


    Riley was shocked that MBK International Corporation was really more important than her life in his


    heart.


    The man was shocked, ¡°Are you regret? Are you reluctant?¡±


    However, Euan only said casually, ¡°I don¡¯t have to waste any bullet to kill her. Lend me your dagger.


    Don¡¯t worry, I am unarmed. Could I even fly away if you give me a dagger while there are so many


    guns pointing at me?


    The calmness on Euan¡¯s cold look couldn¡¯t be seen through. It was too¡­ unpredictable.


    Riley was scared as she couldn¡¯t think of a word to speak. She looked at Euan who dealt with the man


    in ck with her body that was drenched in blood. She did not know how to react at all.


    The man was stunned. He was really stunned, ¡°Use all this to exchange for a dagger?¡±


    Euan remained in his postures just now. He even¡­ cleaned the dust on his body with an averse look to


    let his clothes clean and tidy again.


    ¡°What? Don¡¯t you want it? If you don¡¯t want it, I don¡¯t really care. Since we are going to die, it doesn¡¯t


    matter if she is going to be killed by me.¡±


    However, the document needed his sign.


    The man was hesitating deeply. This document was not a normal document. It was for MBK


    International Corporation, a very rich corporation. Euan was the richest man in China!


    ¡®This ¡­¡¯


    ¡°Okay! I will give you a dagger!¡±


    Euan suddenly showed a cold smile scornfully. His thin lips looked disdainful and he showed a cold and


    ruthless facial expression, ¡°Good, I will sign the document after I kill her. However, please find a pen for


    me.¡±


    The man passed the dagger to him, ¡°You better don¡¯t y any trick!¡±


    The man in ck waved his hand and more than ten guns were aimed at the back of Euan¡¯s head at


    the same time. His life or death would be determined at that short moment!


    Euan walked towards Riley as he skillfully yed with the dagger as if he was ying with his own


    familiar weapon, ¡°Stupid woman. We should properly settle the grudges between us.¡±


    Riley did not know what he meant. Yet, she could not help but want to believe it¡­ This was not a drill


    because it was too realistic! No, this was real!


    Therefore, Riley also smiled. It was almost four years but she still could not avoid it. She was going to


    die regardless of mental and physical because of him, ¡°Just do it, Euan. You and I should have ended


    the rtionship a long time ago.¡±


    She closed her eyes as she was ready to die.


    Suddenly, Euan moved closer to her ear and said with a low voice that could only be heard by two of


    them, ¡°Later listen to mymand to jump out of the window at six o¡¯clock direction. The car is below


    there.¡±


    Riley¡¯s eyes widened!


    ¡®What!? What did he say?¡¯Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ¡°It¡¯s too easy to kill you with a stab. How about I cut off your hand first?¡±


    He was smiling as he moved the dagger around her hands.


    ¡°Just fucking kill me if you want to. Yes, I hate you, Euan. You have a child with another woman. Yet,


    you were not even willing to disclose my identity. I hate you! You have been flirty with other women


    while I do the same to other men, what¡¯s wrong with that!?¡±


    The people beside were shocked, ¡®What¡­ was going on here?!¡¯


    The red lights that were aimed at Euan¡¯s head moved along with his movement. He would be dead at


    any moment so he wanted to make sure everything went perfect!


    ¡°Mr. George is really cruel.¡±


    ¡°I am dealing with my own woman, shut up!¡±


    Euan raised the dagger high as he said¡­


    ¡°Look at me and don¡¯t move. Run immediately after I cut the ropes. Don¡¯t look back and jump down.¡±


    She was stunned as she couldn¡¯t say a word.


    ¡°Three, two¡­¡±


    The dagger was cut down between her hands at an unimaginable angle!


    The ropes that were tied on her body and arms were cut!


    ¡°Ah!!!!¡±


    She didn¡¯t fake the shout. She thought her hands were cut!


    The man in ck and the snipers also thought her hands were cut!


    Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes for a second!


    It only took a second¡­


    ¡°One!!¡±


    As the word ¡°one¡± was shouted, Riley rolled out of the oil barrels that were arranged in a circle and


    jumped out of the window!


    She did not even know what she was doing because of her instinct to survive and the intimidation from


    Euan. Yet, she jumped down! She was still alive!


    There was a lot of foam on the ground! ¡®Where did the foame from!?¡¯


    She got up and controlled her vigorously trembling hands and opened the car door!


    ¡®Wait! Where was Euan?¡¯


    ¡°Euan! What kind of trick are you ying?¡±


    The man in ck knew he had been tricked!


    He set up this n the whole time to let her escape!


    ¡°Chase her!¡±


    ¡°Who dares to move!¡±


    Euan suddenly pulled out his pistol and aimed at the oil barrels!


    ¡°We will die together if who dares to move.¡±


    Euan pulled down the safety pin. With the oil barrels surrounding him in a circle, if the gun was fired


    identally, everyone in the room would die.


    Those oil barrels which were used to deal with Euan were instead being used by him.


    They could cry and go die.


    Riley hit the steering harshly, ¡°Damn it! Euan, you asshole! You asshole!¡±


    However, Riley could not go yet. She could not leave him behind. She would die with him if she was


    going to.


    However, Riley had not lost her IQ yet. She thought in her mind that Euan let her escape but there was


    no oneing out to chase her. Euan must be holding up the people!


    Riley opened the window of the passenger seat and made a count in her heart. If Euan did note


    out in ten minutes, she was going up again!


    The gun in Euan¡¯s hand was definitely not normal. It was clearly the best gun smuggled from the United


    States by looking at the parts and the appearance of the gun. It could easily outperform their snipers.


    ¡°It seems that you recognize the gun in my hand.¡± He slightly twitched his thin lips. His ck eyes


    suddenly looked extremely cold like a demon as if his body was engulfed by the cold air.


    ¡°Put down the gun! Mr. George is worth hundreds of billions, why are you doing this?¡±


    Euan¡¯s eyes looked fierce and deep as he coldly looked at the snipers who had walked towards him. If


    it wasn¡¯t the fucking oil barrels, he would have been shot like a beehive.


    ¡°I am risking my life to y a game with you all. I have the guts to y with you all but I am afraid that


    you don¡¯t have the guts.¡±


    He said while measuring the angle and distance with his eyes. He aligned his foot in a direction. There


    was not enough time as he was scared that Riley would not stay calm ande up to die.


    ¡®Stupid woman, wait for me!¡¯


    He counted down in his heart¡­


    ¡°ng¡­¡±


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    A bullet that was fired hit an oil barrel that was kicked out at the exact moment!


    ¡°Boom!!¡±


    A thunderous explosion was heard and vigorous me burst wildly in the empty hall on the second


    floor!


    Euan flipped through the window and dived like a fish from the re that projected to the sky!


    ¡°Drive now!¡±


    Riley was speechless.


    ¡®Since when there was another person at the passenger seat?!¡¯


    ¡°Stop being stunned. Drive now!¡±


    Riley was stunned and she started the car engine¡­


    ¡°Boom¡­¡±


    The continuous explosion of the oil barrels on the second floor of the house made the whole house on


    fire!


    ¡°Bang! Bang!¡±


    Riley who thought that they had sessfully escaped suddenly heard the sound of bullets that hit on


    the ss of the back window!


    ¡°They are chasing us! What should we do?!¡±


    ¡°Just keep driving! Don¡¯t think about anything. Just control your steering well!¡±


    Euan¡¯s cold and serious sound seemed to have the effect to calm her mind on the verge of death and


    life. She really just focused on controlling the steering without thinking anything else.


    However, her poor driving skill was really¡­


    Euan frowned fiercely, ¡°Do you know anything else besides treating the patient?!¡±


    Riley was extremely frightened and he still acted sarcastic towards her!


    ¡°I have never encountered this kind of situation before. How would I know¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up! Keep driving. Just fully step on the gas pedal as long as the car doesn¡¯t roll over.¡±


    She couldn¡¯t guarantee that¡­


    Euan slightly opened the car window of the passenger seat. He reached out his arm and shot behind,


    ¡°Bang! Bang!¡±


    There were four cars following them. It seemed that the fire did not kill them just now.


    There were limited bullets for Euan¡¯s gun. However, Riley¡¯s driving skill was really too bad. He wanted


    to aim but her hand trembled and the bullet missed.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! The bullets were fired together. Even the bulletproof panels and the bulletproof


    ss could not withstand such firepower. If they did not shake them off as soon as possible, they would


    be shot and they would die.


    Although his pistol was specially made, it only had fifteen bullets. The best way was to shake them off.


    ¡°Let me drive. You will fire the gun!¡±


    ¡®Fired¡­ the gun?¡¯


    She had only held surgical knives and carried out operations. She had no idea about how to shoot at


    all!


    However, ¡°Okay!¡±


    On this verge of life and death, she knew that his arrangement must be the best. He must have known


    that she couldn¡¯t shoot and didn¡¯t know how to shoot.


    ¡®All in!¡¯


    Two of them quickly exchanged their positions. Dr. Watson seemed extraordinary today as she didn¡¯t


    know where she had the guts and the agile body movement. Perhaps the man next to her provided too


    much sense of security to her.


    The bullets were flying. She was scared. However, he gave her a feeling as if she had hispany on


    the verge of death too.


    Four Sport Utilities Vehicles suddenly came from four directions at the same time and tried to surround


    their car. Euan quickly spun the steering and the car was speeding across the deste road as if it was


    flying!


    ¡°I don¡¯t how to aim! How do I aim?¡±


    Dr. Watson held the gun with both her hands. The gun was heavy. It was heavier than what she had in


    her mind. ¡®Fuck, the gun inside the show was really a prop!¡¯


    ¡°Shoot the tires!¡±


    After he thought about it, the more he let her shoot something, the more she might not be able tond


    the shot. He simply told her, ¡°Feel free to shoot. Just make some sound.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡®Okay!¡¯


    Riley who was holding a gun for the first time did not care about her aim. She immediately shot the car


    on her right!


    As expected, she missed and hit the metal car body.


    Yet, Euan was stunned. Riley who touched a gun for the first time actually able to fire a bullet and she


    actually hit the metal car body.


    Euan controlled the steering with his hands. The car was driven fast. He actually managed to drive the


    normal Jeep Wrangler like a professional sports car.


    ¡°Continue to shoot! Just imagine the car as heart vessels and imagine the pistol as a surgical knife.


    Don¡¯t think of anything else!¡±


    ¡®Fuck! Did you really think this simple briefing would make her be James Bond?¡¯


    Riley clenched her teeth and fire another bullet. She hit the ss of the car. The ss of the car at their


    right had scattered.


    ¡°Continue!¡±


    The bullets were finished quickly. At least she hit a rear tire of the car and the car stopped.


    However¡­


    The three cars had no more misgivings and they were driven with full speed to chase them as there


    were no more bullets!


    ¡°Whoosh!!¡±


    ¡°Screech!!¡±


    The three cars surrounded the Jeep Wrangler. The highway was at the front. There would be more cars


    there. A car ident may happen If they just rushed forward¡­


    The three cars blocked the road to the highway at an extremely fast speed.


    ¡®Fuck!¡¯


    Riley idolized Euan but also feared him as she looked at the Euan who did not show any nervous look


    on his face. ¡®Was he even a human?¡¯


    ¡®He was not a human for sure!¡¯


    Euan slowed down the speed of the car. The three cars in front of them felt they had won as ifdy luck


    was on their side.


    ¡°Euan¡­ are we going to die?¡±


    Euan was expressionless. He fiercely looked at the distance and situation of the road in front, ¡°Do you


    have anyst words? Say it out.¡±


    She wanted to speak but what was the point to tell him. They were going to die together. Actually, she


    had no regrets. It was fine to die.


    ¡°No.¡±


    He felt disappointed in his heart. ¡®This woman refused to say some good words to him before they die.


    Was she not telling a lie or a truth either?¡¯


    ¡®It was fine.¡¯


    ¡°Close your eyes and sit firmly!¡±


    Riley held tightly the handle above but she forgot to close her eyes¡­


    ¡°Whoosh¡­¡±


    There was a fast eleration that could stop the heartbeat. The Jeep Wrangler rose to the air and


    flew!


    Riley was stunned. The car actually flew over the top of the three cars while changing its direction


    perfectly¡­


    ¡°ng!¡± The carnded on the ground.


    Riley waspletely stunned!


    The people in the three cars were even more stunned. What did they just see?!


    The car was driven extremely fast on the highway as if the bullets, the res and the fact that they


    almost died just now were all left behind him¡­


    ¡°Screech!¡±


    The Jeep Wrangler stopped at the road suddenly after they left the highway. Her body shook hard


    abruptly.


    ¡°Euan, are you a human or a ghost?¡±


    Riley who just came back from the verge of death asked.


    Euan gave her a stern look. The coldness in his deep eyes slowly faded. He actually twitched his


    mouth as he teased her, ¡°You touch me.¡±

 Chapter 87 Come Here, I’ll Give You A Piggyback

    Chapter 87 Come Here, I¡¯ll Give You A Piggyback


    At this moment, Euan felt like a stranger she had never known before. Or rather, she never got to know


    his true self in the past.


    They were from two different worlds. He was too doughty, too far-fetched from her.


    Riley wiped away the sweat on her face and the blood on the corner of her lips as she changed the


    topic, ¡°You really went there yourself? You didn¡¯t call the cops?¡±


    What nonsense was this! Didn¡¯t she see that Euan was indeed alone?


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    Euan responded lightly like he was doubting her intelligence, but his gaze was fixed on the woman in


    the reflector.


    When they were speeding earlier, Riley had knocked the reflector astray, and coincidentally, Euan


    could see her in it from his side. She still seemed to be frightened, and because she got beaten up, her


    cheeks were still swollen


    Rage burned in Euan¡¯s chest at the thought. He would let none of them off the hook!


    Riley¡¯s breathing gradually got calmer, ¡°Why did youe here? If I die, then you can have your


    happily ever after with Lydia Saunders. You wouldn¡¯t be bothered anymore.¡±


    Dumb woman!


    ¡°You are still my wife. And if you are dead in someone else¡¯s hands, I am going to be the embarrassed


    one.¡±


    Damn it! Actually, he wanted to tell her he couldn¡¯t live without her.


    She knew it.


    Maybe she should not have asked such a stupid question.


    The car was parked by the road towards the city. From time to time, a few vehicles would pass them


    by. As it was now summer, many nts and flowers had already started blooming at the side of the


    road, especially roses.


    Riley was silent when all the scenes from earlier shed across her mind. If they had made one wrong


    move, both of them would have been shot to death. However, Euan¡¯s every move was urate to the


    millimeters.


    ¡°Do you know who did it? You never asked about that since the beginning.¡±


    At such a crucial moment, this stupid woman still asked some irrelevant questions and not about his


    wellbeing! She probably did not care about his life at all.


    ¡°Do you think everyone is as dumb as you? I don¡¯t need to ask to know the answer.¡± Euan wasn¡¯t in a


    good mood now, and his words were a little harsh.


    Riley pursed her lips, which hurt her tongue in the process. She had used up all her strength in biting


    her tongue earlier. If she hadn¡¯t been interrupted, she¡¯d be dead or, at the very least, mute by now.


    ¡°I am dumb? Then, what are you? Do you think you¡¯re that smart? A cancer diagnosis? Transfer of


    shares of MBK? Seriously? Do you think they¡¯re going to buy it? What if they didn¡¯t believe you?¡±


    Euan released the steering wheel and leaned back gently into his seat, cing his arm in between the


    both of them as he tapped his fingers. If one were to look at them from the side, it looked like Euan


    leaned towards her side.


    ¡°Money makes the world go around. Plus, it was the truth.¡±


    He said casually, but Riley immediately turned towards him, ¡°What? You mean the cancer diagnosis is


    real?¡±


    His heart stopped for a beat. Her voice was obviouslyced with concern for him.


    Euan narrowed his eyes slightly and avoided the question, ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything else to tell me?


    Other than getting a divorce.¡±


    They experienced life and death together, and Euan was sure that Riley felt something for him. Even if


    she was cold-hearted, she should at least feel touched, right?


    Riley put some thought into his question. She was sincerely concerned about him, but she doubted him


    as well. How could he get cancer out of the blue?


    So, she spoke from the perspective of a doctor, ¡°I need to look at the stage of your cancer and how fast


    the cancer cells are spreading to design a treatment n.¡±


    For fuck¡¯s sake!


    Euan wanted to choke her to death at this moment! What was the problem with this woman?!


    But no matter what, it was better than bringing up the subject of divorce, ¡°What are you thinking of?¡±


    Riley turned to look at him, ¡°What?¡±


    After everything that happened earlier; being poisoned, an intense fight, and escaping death, her eyes


    were a little bloodshot now. It was good enough that she was still alive.


    ¡°What were you thinking of when you were kidnapped and were on the brink of death?¡±


    After the horrifying experience earlier, Euan¡¯s tone when he spoke to her changed a little. It wasced


    with slight fatigue, apanied by anticipation for her answer.


    What was on her mind? Could she be honest and tell him she didn¡¯t want him toe, yet she wanted


    to see him? Or that she wanted to sacrifice herself for him? A lot shed across her mind; the past,


    present, and the future. It felt that a century had passed by.


    ¡°What could I possibly think of? My mind was ck from the shock.¡±


    But this was her reply for Euan.


    Pfft!


    What else could Euan say? This woman had her mind set already.


    ¡°What about you?¡±


    Although Riley did not want Euan to know her true feelings, she hoped to hear something from him.


    Was this too greedy of her?


    Euan widened his eyes and locked eyes with her for a moment, ¡°How can there be such an idiot in this


    world?¡±


    He arranged for his bodyguards to guard her at the hospital, but she actually ran out with no regard for


    her life. He wanted to use her as bait to attract the mastermind, but it turned another way around.


    Riley gritted her teeth, ¡°Thanks, Euan.¡±


    Thanks my ass! He wanted to pry open her brain and see if there was any intelligence in there.


    ¡°Get out.¡±


    Euan didn¡¯t want to continue with the conversation, which might cause him to die from irritation. He


    opened the door and stepped down from the car, his tall and well-built silhouette could be seen


    amongst the nts.


    ¡°Now? Why don¡¯t we just drive the car back?¡±


    Euan lifted his chin and motioned her to look at the exterior of the car.


    It was only now that Riley realized there were a lot of bullet holes and marks on the car. It looked


    severely damaged all over, and if they drove this car into the city, it will definitely gather the strange


    looks from onlookers.


    Well, she could only get down then.


    When she got out of the car, her legs felt like jelly from her exhaustion andck of energy.


    In fact, Euan did not want to bring her unnecessary trouble because of the car. Otherwise, he would


    never walk as long as the car still has its wheels attached to it.


    Walking¡­seemed like an interesting experience.


    They have never walked side by side together on the streets before and today was their opportunity to


    do so.


    After taking a few steps, Euan turned to look at Riley, who was dragging her feet behind him as he said


    in dismay, ¡°Walk faster!¡±


    Ugh! Didn¡¯t he see that she was weak now? How could she possibly catch up with him?


    ¡°Can¡¯t we take a cab?¡± Riley questioned in anger.


    Euan retorted calmly, ¡°Do you have the money for that?¡±


    Riley: ¡°¡­No.¡±


    This made Euan smirk casually, ¡°I don¡¯t have it too¡­and I just spent 5 billion Yuan earlier.¡±


    Riley was speechless.


    Did Euan want her topensate him? If he mentioned it, how should she reply? It was 5 billion Yuan,


    an amount of money she could never get in this life.


    So she might as well bring it up first, ¡°You deserve it, dumbass!¡±


    Wow!


    Euan didn¡¯t exin himself further and just thought to himself, ¡°I wonder who is the dumb one here.¡±


    The conversation ended, and Euan continued to stride ahead of her.


    Surely, Riley couldn¡¯t keep up. The more they walked, the further she was left behind. Now, he was


    already a hundred meters ahead of her.


    Initially, Riley was admiring him from the back while walking. He was like a piece of art, and no matter


    how she looked at him, he looked charming. But as their journey continued, her feelings were soon


    reced by exhaustion. She didn¡¯t have the energy to look at him anymore.


    Riley gritted her teeth and curled her fingers into fists as her eyes burned with anger. Since she was


    still alive, he wouldn¡¯t be embarrassed anymore. However, it seemed that he disliked her, judging from


    how fast he walked away from her.


    After a while, Riley couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She was out of energy and put her hands on her knees,


    supporting her body as she stopped to take a rest.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Euan, who was a hundred meters away from her, had his lips curved into a faint smile subconsciously.


    His usual dark and solemn expression had a hint of warmth to it now. It was unknown to him that he


    was disying a kid-like smirk on his face.


    When Riley was bending down and gasping for air, a tall figure suddenly stood in front of her, blocking


    the sunlight from reaching her.


    She didn¡¯t raise her head but saw a pair of Armani leather shoes which were covered with ayer of


    dust before her. Her gaze moved up along his pants, and the sight of Euan¡¯s sharp look and perfectly


    crafted face entered her view.


    Why did hee back?


    ¡°Come here. You¡¯re too slow.¡±


    The dominant, overbearing man suddenly squatted down with his back to her. His ck, tailor-made


    Italian suit was slightly wrinkled by now, but it did not diminish any of his dashing demeanor at all.


    ¡®Huh?¡± Riley¡¯s mouth was dry as if she had eaten a bowl of sand.


    ¡°Get on here. I¡¯m rushing.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Riley gritted her teeth, and in an attempt to protect her pride, she said, ¡°I can walk by myself!¡±


    ¡°Come up here! Do you want to get caught by them again?¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡±


    ¡°Cat got your tongue? I won¡¯t pity you just because you¡¯re stupid every time.¡±


    What the hell!


    It wasn¡¯t a big deal anyway, so she¡¯ll just let him piggyback her. For a man as arrogant as Euan to


    piggyback her, this had to be shocking news to everyone.


    She would just do as he wished.


    Riley climbed onto Euan¡¯s back and circled her arms around his neck. A scent of the surrounding soil


    mixed with agave rushed into his nose. It was strong and lingering.


    As if it was already a part of him since a long time ago.


    Euan used his muscr arms to lift Riley¡¯s legs a little. She was really skinny and felt as light as a


    feather on his back.


    ¡°Don¡¯t eat so much next time.¡±


    But those were the words that came out of Euan¡¯s mouth.


    Was she fat to him?


    Riley gritted, ¡°The girls who are lighter than 50 kilograms are either t-chested or short.¡±


    With a height of 168 centimeters, Riley had a pair of long legs which would rub against the flowers or


    get tangled in them from time to time. Euan simply ignored that and allowed her feet to fight their own


    battle.


    ¡°What about you?¡±


    Her?


    She wasn¡¯t short, nor was she t-chested!


    ¡°Can¡¯t you look at it yourself?¡±


    As Rileyid on his back obediently, all her arrogance and stubbornness had melted away. Now, she


    just wanted to enjoy the time with him.


    It didn¡¯t matter anymore whether he would torture her, or cheat on her in the future. If he could


    asionally spare her some of his gentleness, she would be content with happiness.


    Was that too¡­shameless of her?


    ¡°How could I look at it through your clothes? There might be some misjudgment.¡±


    Euan said those words naturally and had no change in his expression or his tone at all.


    Riley held onto his neck tighter, ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re blind.¡±


    He leaned back a little from her attack. She was shocked and immediately released him.


    ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re right¡­¡±


    Otherwise, why would he ignore a woman who attended to his every need and married this woman


    who caused him pain?


    Euan didn¡¯t finish his sentence.


    He strolled with Riley on his back as they passed the beautiful flowers which bloomed in early summer.


    With the sun that was shining on him, he was starting to sweat. During the walk, Riley slipped down


    from his back a few times, but he lifted her again.


    ¡°Idiot.¡±


    There was no reply from her. Euan called her again, even so, he got nothing in response.


    He stopped for a while and looked back. Riley had already fallen asleep on his back.


    Her long and thick eyshes cast a shadow on her face, which pressed lightly on his back. She was


    sleeping in peace.


    ¡°Do you know how worried I was when I saw you in that state?¡±


    Euan mumbled to himself as he started to feel the weight of Riley on her.


    He had been carrying her on his back for two hours.


    ¡°If I was the one who was kidnapped today, I bet you would be happy, right? Riley Watson, you¡¯re such


    a cruel woman.¡±


    ¡®You are still a heartless woman, after all.¡¯

 Chapter 88 He paid 100 Times More for Her Sufferings

    Chapter 88 He paid 100 Times More for Her Sufferings


    ¡°BOSS, how would you like us to treat young madam?¡±


    Elijah Parker asked as he drove the ck Rolls Royce in the city.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Go back to the hospital.¡±


    The woman sitting at the back seat was not yet awake, Euan Georgeid her head gently on his chest.


    Not wanting to disturb her sleep, he was holding her very gently the whole time.


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡±


    Checking on the rear-view mirror from time to time, Elijah peeked at the two passengers sitting behind.


    Mr. George bravely saved the woman all by himself. He could guess the details of the incident but there


    was something that Elijah could not understand.


    Elijah simply could not keep down his curiosity any longer. He plucked up his courage and boldly


    asked, ¡°Boss, why didn¡¯t you call me earlier toe to fetch you? I was waiting for your message the


    entire time.¡±


    Was there an ident after that?


    It was true, Euan could have called Elijah anytime. Not having cash was not a reason not to hail down


    a taxi. Everyone was aware that cash was no longer necessary to call a taxi, there would always be


    someone ready to foot Euan¡¯s bill at the destination.


    Moreover, what could be more convenient than simply making a call with a mobile phone?


    Without giving it much consideration, Euan quickly lied to cover up. She did not recognize it was a lie.


    Was she also scared out of her wits?


    ¡°My phone has run out of battery.¡±


    Mr. George stated.


    Elijah simply believed Euan and continued driving to the hospital.


    Right at this moment, Mr. George¡¯s mobile phone vibrated. The dull and forceful buzzes came from his


    pocket.


    An atmosphere of embarrassment infused the spacious vehicle. Neither of them spoke, and they kept


    silent simultaneously.


    Elijah activated his ¡°forgetful and deaf¡± mode.


    Euan squinted at the phone disy, which was shing the name ¡°Lydia Saunders¡±.


    That was exactly the phone call he least wanted to ept right at this moment.


    Upon the decision to reject the call, he flipped the mobile phone to face down, ignoring the buzz.


    Next, he promptly proceeded to switch off the phonepletely.


    Elijah was fully concentrated on his driving. It was as if nothing had happened, even if he had heard


    anything earlier on, it might have been his illusion.


    That was the feeling he was trying to create for Mr. George.


    In a moment, Mr. George suddenly spoke with a cold and uncaring voice, contrary to his usual warm


    and mellow tone. He sounded ruthless and stern, ¡°Clear up Kaysorn Cornell and his band of henchmen


    within three days.¡±


    Elijah¡¯s hand trembled, such that his grip on the steering wheel slipped, ¡°Kaysorn? Boss, you¡¯re saying,


    he was the one who kidnapped young madam?¡±


    Mr. George nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, he¡¯s the one. He must be the one who poisoned her too.¡±


    ¡°Yes! But, Boss, do you mean you want to make him ...?¡±


    ¡°Make him in trouble! Also, if family Kang does not have a good sessor, there¡¯s no point in keeping


    the family business. Let¡¯s turn their business into ours.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    This task he ordered brought him a lot of satisfaction. He liked the idea.


    In Central Hospital.


    ¡°Mr. George, she was ¡­¡±


    Dr. William Hardesty had been attending to Dr. Riley Watson, but he could not observe any


    improvement in her condition. She was still unconscious. Upon the third listening, he could already


    memorize the rhythm in the stethoscope.


    ¡°She fainted.¡±


    The reply was cold to the extreme.


    He could tell that she fainted. He wanted to ask for the reason. Half side of her clothes practically


    changed colour, and half of her face was swollen. Not having an adequate exnation waspletely


    uneptable.


    However, would he ept the real cause?


    The man was Mr. Euan George.


    Dr. Hardesty examined Riley personally. The medical examination included checking on the eye pupils,


    checking the heart rate¡­


    Checking the heart rate ¡­


    Dr. Hardesty put the stethoscope gently over Riley¡¯s upper chest, adjusting the position to detect the


    pulse. Although his long fingers were holding the chest-piece of the stethoscope, his fingertips


    asionally touched her patient gown.


    Mr. George frowned, ¡°It¡¯s alright now.¡±


    Dr. Hardesty, as the doctor, had not announced that it was alright. What gave Mr. George the right to


    say the examination waspleted?


    After he removed the stethoscope from his ears, Dr. Hardesty covered her with a thin nket, ¡°It isn¡¯t


    very serious, she¡¯s just over-exhausted and has not eaten anything sincest night. On top of that, she


    even had a stomachvage, that weakened her body and caused a physical copse. I¡¯ll prescribe


    infusions of nutrients solution and glucose for her.¡±


    Throughout the whole time, Euan showed an unhappy expression on his face.


    When Dr. Hardesty was examining her, even though his actions seemed to be proper and professional,


    watching the examination caused Euan to feel ufortable.


    Riley was a doctor. A doctor had both male and female patients. So, when she checked on her male


    patients, did she also touch them like this?


    Alright, today a stethoscope was used. Did it ever happen that she had to listen with her ears, or feel


    with her bare hands?


    Shit!


    He felt vexed to the extreme.


    After Riley received her infusions, Euan left the hospital to settle the business with family Cornell.


    It was already night when Riley regained her consciousness.


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re awake.¡±


    Facing her right now was William¡¯s warm and gentle expression. Due to his fatigue, his soft, mellow


    voice sounded as deep as the double-bass instrument.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Feelingpletely weak, she realized she could not even prop herself up in bed to sit.


    William reached out to stop her, his warmugh was like a soothing balm for her heart, which was


    feeling hurt and confused. ¡°You¡¯re still very weak and need a proper rest. To prevent you from escaping


    again, I am staying to watch you. Also, you¡¯re my number one patient now. The patient has to obey the


    doctor¡¯s orders absolutely.¡±


    Sheughed lightly, hiding her exhaustion. She became tame when she was sick.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    He knitted his eyebrows and protested, ¡°I really don¡¯t want to hear those words again.¡±


    In YJ Vi.


    By the time Lydia got home, it was already past eight o¡¯clock. However, Euan and Riley were both not


    at home.


    Lydia kicked off her stilettos, began to order her servants arrogantly, ¡°Lh, help me put up my things.


    Sophia, prepare a cup of low-sugared coffee.¡±


    Lh carefully picked up the Christian Dior stilettos and put them in the second level.


    Meanwhile, Sophia approached to serve Lydia the coffee. Lydia lifted the cup and took a sip.


    ¡°Pooh! What kind of coffee is this? It is not drinkable. I want low-sugared, yet you brewed it so sweet,


    do you want me to get sick? Brew it again!¡±


    Sophia nodded cowardly, ¡°Yes, Ms. Saunders.¡±


    ¡°What did you call me?¡±


    Lydia grabbed a bag, marched towards Sophia, and hit her hard on the head, ¡°What did you call me?¡±


    ¡°I ¡­¡± Sophia pitifully hid her suffering, not daring to cry. She bit her lips and corrected herself, ¡°Young


    ¡­ young madam.¡±


    Lydia sat in the middle of the sofa, spreading her arms open, sucked her red lips, ¡°Bear in mind, that¡¯s


    how you call me. Riley Watson will get out of George''s family sooner orter. Just watch out, otherwise,


    when I¡¯m the mistress of the family, you¡¯ll suffer.¡±


    Lh and Sophia lowered their head, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lydia was getting impatient that Euan was not home yet. She dialled his phone number again and was


    appalled to see that he hadpletely switched off his telephone.


    What happened to him? Did she have to call him on his home number before he would finally respond


    to her?¡±


    At this thought, Lydia dialled Anika Gill¡¯s number¡­


    ¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Have you heard it too? Last night, Dr. Watson was sent to the emergency department, and Dr.


    Hardesty attended to her personally. God knows what happened.¡±


    ¡°Of course I heard it. What¡¯s more, I heard from friends at the emergency department, the vice dean


    himself carried her into the ICU. He only had one shoe on. I wonder whether that¡¯s true.¡±


    ¡°Oh,e on, the vice dean was just wearing one shoe? I don¡¯t believe it. But the vice dean genuinely


    cares about Dr. Watson. Sigh, you don¡¯t know how many other female doctors¡¯ hearts he broke.¡±


    Dr. Jeanne Pouchain was just walking past the staff duty station, she overheard the entire conversation


    between the doctors and nurses. She knew that Riley took leave, but was unaware of this incident.


    This hospital was toorge. Every single specialized ward was overwhelmed with work. Who was going


    to pay attention to the emergencies if everyone were to be engaged in gossips?


    ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to do?¡±


    Dr. Pouchain¡¯s icy voice frightened the few gossiping nurses at the duty station. They quickly sprang


    away from the desk.


    She retrieved her mobile phone from her pocket and called William.


    In the ward, when William saw the shing number, his look darkened, ¡°Deputy Directress Pouchain.¡±


    He took the call right in the presence of Riley, not trying to hide anything.


    ¡°Vice Dean, where are you? I have an invoice here for therapy equipment, it requires your signature.¡±


    Dr. Pouchain pointed and pressed her fingertip hardly on the document on the table.


    ¡°I¡¯ll sign tomorrow, you get off work first.¡±


    Just as he was about to hang up the call, she quickly stopped him, ¡°This has to be signed tonight.


    Where are you, I¡¯lle over. Once you sign it, I can get off work.¡±


    William nced at the remaining liquid in the infusion bag, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you in the hall at level


    one.¡±


    Riley listened to the phone conversation quietly.


    ¡°I shall return shortly. Don¡¯t you dare leave there.¡±


    In contrary to the phone conversation, within a second, hepletely softened his expression and


    tone, he became soft, gentle, and warm.


    ¡°Vice Dean, go and do your work, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    She was still half-rejecting him. However, she could not harden her stance now.


    William signed the document, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s gettingte. Deputy Directress Pouchain, you may go home


    now.¡±


    Holding the document close to her chest, ¡°Why are you not going home at this time, Vice Dean?¡±


    William kept his pen in the pocket under the cor, ¡°I still have a patient.¡±


    ¡°Vice Dean, may I have a conversation with you?¡± Jeanne walked towards him, smiling gently and


    modestly.


    However, William stuck his hands into the pockets of his white coat. This simple gesture signalled his


    desire to remain distant.


    ¡°I ¡­¡±


    She managed to say just one word as his mobile phone rang, and he had to answer the call.


    ¡°My apologies, I have an urgent matter. Let¡¯s talk another day.¡±


    He swiped the phone to take the call. As he spoke, he quickened his footsteps with urgency.


    Jeanne looked up at the glittering lights hanging over the hall. The hospital reception hall was usually


    quiet at night, there was just a queue lined up outside the emergency department.


    She slowed down her footsteps and followed in the direction that William took.


    ¡°So fast?¡±


    She was surprised to see him return after a short while.


    ¡°It was just a small matter. Your stomach has been empty for over eight hours. Eat something light for


    the night. What would you like to eat?¡±


    He treated her like a boyfriend, rather than a doctor.


    ¡°I¡¯m not hungry, I¡¯m full of water.¡± She had been infused with plenty of fluids, not only was she full of


    water, but she was, in fact, bloated.


    ¡°Full of water is not considered full, say, what would you like? If you want to escape from me and get


    out of here, you should better eat something proper. Otherwise, I will still be here tomorrow. You


    decide.¡±


    Decide. Why did everybody want her to decide? No matter how she decided, she could not escape


    from making a choice.


    ¡°I think ¡­ I¡¯ll drink a little red date lotus porridge.¡±


    The best would be a gooey, glutinous, and soft porridge. She was famished.


    ¡°And what else? A porridge, good, that¡¯s a lot of fluids.¡±


    She pondered a moment, ¡°A red beanva bao, is that okay?¡±


    Heughed, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Standing outside the door, Jeanne watched the scene through the ss pane above the door. She saw


    how the couple having their warm and cheerful conversation with each other. She clenched her fists


    tightly.


    Not only did William return with her food orders, but he also specially brought back choctes to


    nourish her body. And likewise, of course, he bought dinner for himself too.


    She had not eaten. Neither had he.


    Other than that, he bought her a bouquet.


    A bouquet consisting of early summer-blooming gardenia.


    At the entrance of the bouquet of gardenia, the ward was filled with the light fragrance of the blooms.


    Light and elegant, the fragrance was very refreshing.


    Theplementarybination of ivory and pale-yellow blooms exuded a certain girlishness.


    ¡°How did you know that I like gardenia?¡±


    Putting the bouquet into a vase, William replied, ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s true.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°I was not sure initially, was only guessing from the perfume you are wearing, which is gardenia.¡±


    She was speechless.


    ¡°Please eat, they are your choices. You have to finish the food.¡±


    Again, the tone he used was as if he was coaxing a child, so warm and loving, sofortable that she


    could not bear to turn him down.


    She scooped a spoonful and put it to her mouth.


    ¡°Ouch ¡­¡±


    Her tongue burned!


    Damn it, she forgot about the injury on her tongue!


    ¡°What happened? Did you burn your lips?¡± listening to his gentle tone, it felt like a warm wind in spring.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s the tongue ¡­¡± She did notplete her sentence.


    ¡°Let me check, stick out your tongue.¡±


    A tall figure of a man leaned over the bed, examining her tongue. From one angle, half her body was


    blocked in view. From afar, it appeared as if he was kissing her.


    Mr. George was about to open the door, as he rested his hand on the door handle. He felt


    thunderstruck when he saw the tall figure.


    In an instant, he swung the door open forcefully and strode towards them.


    ¡°Let her go!¡±

 Chapter 89 Acting

    Chapter 89 Acting


    These overbearing yet calm three words let the two people in the ward surprised.


    William ended the examination, and naturally put one hand in the pocket of his white coat, without


    feeling panicked due to the sudden appearance of Euan.


    There was a trace of shock in Riley¡¯s eyes. Why did Euane here sote?


    Euan slowed down, and as he approached, she could smell a clear smell of tequ, as if there was


    ecstasy in the air, which made her heart beat faster.


    Thest scene she remembered was when she was lying on his back. She remembered that she was


    lying on his wide and warm back, and Euan walked slowly. All she smelled was his fragrance and the


    fragrance of rose flowers on the road.


    The few hours of sleep and physical difort had let her forget that strong feeling. But as soon as


    Euan appeared and he approached her, she was again upied.


    Riley frowned, "Why are youing?"


    Instead of looking at the woman who was talking, Euan looked at William indifferently, "Mr. Hardesty,


    have you always been so kind to patients?"


    Did ordinary doctors prepare so much food for patients? William¡¯s behavior was obviously against a


    custom rule.


    William didn¡¯t panic. He smiled at Euan, and his elegant and clean smile made him look pure, "Of


    course not."


    When William finished, Riley closed her eyes. William must not provoke Euan at this time. Euan looked


    gloomy and he seemed to get angry. William was just a doctor. How could he be an opponent of Euan?


    Euan sneered.


    William went on, "Dr. Watson is different from ordinary patients. She works in this hospital and is a


    great doctor. In the face of rare talents, of course, I should pay more attention to her."


    William¡¯s words were very reasonable. William had a nice voice and he was very polite when he spoke.


    Euan ignored William. William had already had the hope that he shouldn¡¯t have, but he wanted to reply


    to Euan in a few words.


    William really looked down on Euan.


    Euan went to the window and saw the dinner for two on the table. He said, "Well, your care is very


    meticulous. You not only prepare dinner for the patient, but also prepare the dinner for her family."


    Riley opened her mouth, "Euan, this..."


    "What? Are you afraid the dinner is not to my taste? This is the hospital, so I can eat it."


    With that, Euan picked up the disposable chopsticks with his slender long finger, but he was not in a


    hurry to eat. He nced at William, who was not happy, "Mr. Hardesty, why don¡¯t you prepare dinner


    for yourself? We can eat together."


    Riley felt that she had a bad expression. What¡¯s worse, she gave William a nce. She felt that William


    was embarrassed now, and he was trying to suppress his anger.


    This was William¡¯s dinner for Riley and himself. Where on earth did Euan learn this ability to steal


    others¡¯ thunder? Euan was really arrogant and domineering.


    "No, I have something to do. You can eat here." William¡¯s warm voice had be a little hoarse. He


    was really aggrieved.


    "Well..." Euan picked up his chopsticks and picked up a steamed stuffed bun from the te, "Open


    your mouth and have a taste."


    Riley was shocked and stared at the steamed stuffed bun beside her mouth. If she ate it, her tongue


    hurt and William would be even angrier. If she didn¡¯t eat it, Euan would be angry. Although there was a


    trace of smile in his eyes, Euan was very good at hiding his emotions.


    "Mr. George, Dr. Watson hurt her tongue and she can¡¯t eat food. Chewing food can make her tongue


    worse." William exined.


    Euan frowned, and a trace of shock shed through his eyes, "What¡¯s the matter with your tongue?"


    So, William was checking her tongue just now?


    "Nothing, I identally bit my tongue when I was eating," Riley said


    William frowned. Obviously, the mark of her wound was not caused by her teeth.


    Well¡­


    Euan picked up the porridge with red dates and lotus seeds, scooped out a spoonful of porridge, blew


    the porridge to cool and sent it to her mouth, "It¡¯s not hot. Have a drink, don¡¯t chew and swallow it


    directly."


    Riley saw William¡¯s eyes and expression, and she felt that William¡¯s heart was broken at this time. In


    front of William, Euan¡¯s acting had gone too far.


    He was so kind to her now. Did he mean to embarrass William?


    He could do that, but she couldn¡¯t do it.


    "Euan, you eat it yourself. I don¡¯t want to eat it." She dodged the spoon and decided not to open her


    mouth.


    Euan still stubbornly put the spoon beside her lips. "Be good, eat it! If you don¡¯t eat, how can you get


    better and keep fit?" He whispered, as if he was coaxing a child.


    Riley¡¯s expression was very terrible. Euan¡¯s acting had gone too far.


    William clenched his fist in his pocket. Everyone could see that Euan¡¯s tenderness at this time was too


    deliberate and obvious. But he was Riley¡¯ husband, so whatever he did to her was reasonable.


    Riley had to open her mouth and take a bite. The porridge was cold and didn¡¯t hurt her tongue.


    Porridge was a little sweet. She was really hungry and she wanted to have another bite.


    "I¡¯ll do it myself." She wanted to take the bowl, but Euan didn¡¯t allow. Euan scooped out another


    spoonful of porridge and fed her, "You are weak now, so I¡¯ll feed you."


    "¡­¡­"


    William saw such a scene, ready to leave, "You eat slowly. I have something to do, and I go first."


    Euan didn¡¯t expect that William hadn¡¯t left yet. Euan nced at the clock hanging on the wall and said,


    "Mr. Hardesty, could you please turn on the TV?"


    Riley gritted her teeth and whispered, "What the hell do you want?"


    Euan looked at her, "What? Do you be sorry for him?"


    William picked up the remote and turned on the TV, "What do you want to watch?"


    Euan said, "JD TV."


    William chose the channel¡ª¡ª


    "ording to ourtest news, the K group, a bigpany in the field of electronic technology,


    suddenly announced today that it has been acquired by MBK. Until now, thepany has not given an


    exnation."


    Riley was surprised, "MBK acquired the K group?"


    Euan, the president of MBK, was feeding porridge to the woman on the bed with a spoon. He said


    carelessly, "Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect the reporter to report so soon."


    He frowned, as if he was distressed that his actions couldn¡¯t be low-key.


    Then, the second news was released!


    "After the acquisition of the K group, someone found that Kaysorn Cornell, the young master of the K


    group, had a terrible car ident in his Lamborghini on 1013 National Highway. Lamborghini knocked


    over the guardrail and exploded. Kaysorn Cornell and a woman died on the spot. If you want to know


    more specific situations, please watch the report from the frontline reporter..."


    Riley was stunned!


    Just now, she thought that it was just amercialpetition of Euan that the K group was acquired.


    But when she knew that Kaysorn was dead, she couldn¡¯t help but connect the two things.


    She went into the bar and met Kaysorn. Although there was no evidence of the thing that she was


    poisoned, Kaysorn, who was taught by Euan, was the prime suspect.


    So, she was kidnapped by him?


    Riley looked at Euan in surprise, "You¡­"


    How did you know it was him? Did his death have anything to do with you?


    She had a lot of questions, but Euan just said lightly, "Open your mouth, porridge is not delicious when


    it¡¯s cold."


    She opened her mouth dully and had porridge in her mouth, forgetting the pain of her tongue. Kayson


    Cornell was dead!


    William didn¡¯t know what they were talking about. He didn¡¯t know that Riley was kidnapped, because


    Euan had blocked the news for a long time.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    He didn¡¯t know what happened to these two people before, because Euan went to save Riley alone.


    So, he was standing here like an outsider, unable to get involved in their conversation.


    Riley¡¯s eyes widened. "Did Kaysorn really die in a car ident?"


    What a coincidence! And why did Euan choose to let her watch the news at this time? Did he want to


    tell Riley that he had got revenge for her?


    Euan blew the porridge to cold, "You should ask him that question. Have another bite."


    Mouthful after mouthful, she almost ate all the porridge in the bowl.


    William couldn¡¯t bear it and left the ward with a low mood.


    Realizing that William had left, Euan put down the bowl. His tenderness disappeared, and he became


    cold and domineering again, "Are you sorry?"


    "What? If the murderer is really Kaysorn, he should die."


    Looking at the bowl he put down, Riley felt sad. He was really acting just now. As soon as the audience


    left, he didn¡¯t want to continue for half a minute.


    "You know that¡¯s not what I¡¯m talking about. Your William is really kind to you." Euan sneered, "I think


    you can¡¯t wait to go to his arms!"


    "Euan, I don¡¯t understand what you''re talking about. I still have to eat. It seems that you don¡¯t have any


    appetite. Just go back!"


    Riley picked up the bowl, hands trembling.


    Riley tried to hold back her tears, but when the bowl came close to her face and covered half of her


    face, her tears still fell into the porridge.


    What a stupid woman!


    "Kaysorn Cornell was the one who poisoned you and kidnapped you." He suddenly changed the topic.


    "Thank you..."


    Thank you so much for saving me.


    "You punished the evildoer and you are a good citizen. You should be included in the list of top ten


    outstanding young people in JD City."


    She held back tears and slowly drinking porridge with tearsing down.


    "I killed him just because..."


    He hurt you!


    "I just don¡¯t like him. Who do you think I do these things for?" Euan said coldly and disdainfully. Then


    he got up and said, "Since you¡¯re probably well, you should be discharged tomorrow and go back to the


    vi."


    Riley couldn¡¯t eat porridge anymore, "I won¡¯t go back. You and I are just ying couples. If you need


    some help, I will cooperate with you. But we don¡¯t have to live together. Now that you don¡¯t like me, just


    don¡¯t make yourself unhappy."


    The ring of the mobile phone interrupted their conversation and blocked Euan¡¯s anger.


    This was a call from the George family. Euan had to answer it.


    "Euan, what¡¯s the matter with you!"


    Even if there was a receiver, Riley could hear Anika¡¯s shouts.


    "Why did you leave Lydia who was pregnant alone and go to acquire the K group! Have you turned a


    deaf ear to my words?"


    "I¡¯ve made it very clear to you that you don¡¯t need to be busy with your career now. You need to take


    good care of Lydia first!"


    "And, when are you going to kick Riley out of the George family? I can¡¯t wait, Lydia can¡¯t wait, and the


    eldest grandson of the George family can¡¯t wait!"


    Kick Riley out¡­ She couldn¡¯t wait¡­ They couldn¡¯t wait?


    Oh¡ª¡ª

 Chapter 90 Sharing a Blanket Between Two

    Chapter 90 Sharing a nket Between Two


    Euan looked at Riley before he answered. He wanted to see her reaction, but she didn¡¯t have any


    reaction at all. She had no emotions on her face and was just lyingzily against the head of the bed,


    closing her eyes as if she was going to sleep soon.


    Euan grasped the phone with his slender finger, ¡°I¡¯ll talk to you again.¡±


    He was tired of dealing with the tedious issues at home, especially when it was about Lydia and Riley.


    Lydia was easy to please. As long as you give her something she would be pleased, especially with


    new handbags. She was a gentle person and would be a good mascot for the George family for a long


    time.


    But Riley was an independent woman, and he didn¡¯t need to do anything for her.


    Sometimes he would worry about her and would put his all into it, but it never felt like enough.


    ¡°What do you mean, talk about itter? You are toe home tonight! Lydia is pregnant, she¡¯s very


    emotional right now and any extreme emotions can bring harm to the baby. You are the father and you


    have to be responsible!¡±


    The child. It was about the child again.


    He couldn¡¯tprehend. If Lydia wasn¡¯t pregnant, she would be nothing in Anika¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m busy, I¡¯m not returning today,¡± replied Euan with a hint of annoyance.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care,e back immediately, Euan. Lydia is my daughter-inw. You guys have been together


    for so many years and she had suffered a lot because of that woman named Riley. She¡¯s pregnant and


    you still want to let her suffer? Even if you can let that happen, I won¡¯t let it slide! Sign your divorce


    papers right now. Even if you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll just announce that Lydia is your official wife!¡±


    Riley could hear everything, and she knew that Anika was serious about it.


    Anika was an impressive person. She was already an impressive person 20 years ago as she shocked


    the world by wholly covering up the huge scandal surrounding the George family.


    Euan frowned, ¡°I¡¯m overseas and I cannot go back. Talk to youter.¡±


    He then hung up the phone.


    Riley opened her eyes and saw that Euan was feeling awkward and unhappy, ¡°You should go back.


    Your mother sounds angry.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s your mother-inw and you¡¯re my wife. That¡¯s a fact.¡± He announced her identity overbearingly,


    not letting her escape.


    Riley wanted tough, ¡°I heard your conversation on the phone. Anika would only ept Lydia as your


    wife. Euan, we should really¡­¡±


    Divorce.


    He wasn¡¯t going to let her say that word and interrupted her, ¡°I¡¯ll tell them that I¡¯m temporarily not in the


    JD City and hence I cannot go home tonight. I cannot go back to the vi and not only for tonight,


    probably for several nights.¡±


    Riley clenched her fist that was resting on the nket, ¡°So you¡­¡±


    ¡°The wardroom is shabby looking, but the bed is huge. I¡¯ll stay here tonight.¡±


    Riley said, ¡°¡­you want to stay here?¡±


    ¡°Why? You don¡¯t want your husband to apany you? Or are you waiting for Mr. Hardesty?¡± said


    Euan snappily, not giving Riley a chance to retort.


    But she didn¡¯t mean it like that. She just wanted to tell him that the environment in the hospital wasn¡¯t


    the best. He who was used to living in luxurious mansions wouldn¡¯t feelfortable living here.


    ¡°There are no toiletries provided here,¡± she said after pausing for a long time, a familiar string of words.


    ¡°That¡¯s not important,¡± he answered inly.


    Fine. If he didn¡¯t mind it, she wouldn¡¯t push it any further.


    Though, Euan made Elijah get him a set of toiletries in the end.


    Riley looked at the bathroom in the VIP wardroom. Euan was freshening himself up. She was angry yet


    she wanted tough. Just a few seconds ago they were fighting like cats and dogs and now they were


    going to spend the night together peacefully? It was a huge turn of events.


    She felt sleepy and tucked herself to bed, unable to resist the heaviness of her eyelids.


    After showering, Euan put on pyjamas and slid into the bed that smelled like disinfectant.


    Riley could feel the warmth from her back, and she tensed up. Euan¡¯s warmth and scent surrounded


    her and filled every breath she took!


    Euan hugged her shoulder from the back with his strong arms. Riley was shocked and was now awake,


    she almost jumped out of the bed. He pressed her down as if he knew that it was going to happen.


    ¡°You, what are you doing?¡± Her voice was trembling.


    He used to do something bad in the past and she was traumatized.


    Euan had insomnia and had put in his every ounce of effort to rescue her today. And then he had to


    deal with some family issues. He was exhausted, spent the whole time worrying and pushed his body


    to the limit. He didn¡¯t even eat much the whole time. He was strong but he was still human in the end.


    He was utterly exhausted.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not interested in someone sick,¡± he said brusquely, but his hands and his actions were


    scarily gentle.


    So gentle that it was so unfamiliar and was eating Riley alive.


    Riley¡¯s barricade was softened by his gentleness and she talked more gently, ¡°The smell of alcohol in


    the hospital is quite strong, but you¡¯ll get used to it.¡±


    He answered with a humph and inched closer to her back, like a pouting child seeking attention. He


    pressed his chin against her neck and couldn¡¯t pick up any other scent such as the disinfectant but only


    the sweet smell of shampoo from her hair.


    Her breathing started to hasten, she gritted her teeth and asked, ¡°Are you cold?¡±


    He was hugging her so tightly and it was getting way too warm. Did he have a fever?


    It was not just warm, it was burning!


    Euan moved his arms between the sheets and grabbed her waist. He made her turn around and face


    him. He didn¡¯t like that her back was facing him.


    Riley¡¯s heart started to beat fast facing him so directly. She looked at Euan in a daze, bit her lips and


    didn¡¯t say anything.


    Euan looked at her and was hugging her, ¡°I am regretful.¡±


    Riley blinked repeatedly and asked, ¡°About what?¡±


    Euan took a deep breath, ¡°I should¡¯ve made the incident about your kidnapping known.¡±


    He should¡¯ve made it public, causing a huge uproar in the city and made it the headline news.


    Not shouldering it all alone and now only two of them knew about it.


    Riley was taken aback.


    Before she could say something, he said, ¡°If the incident was known, your identity as my wife would be


    known as well. All rumours would have copsed by themselves and you couldn¡¯t flirt with Mr. Hardesty


    openly anymore.¡±


    She was feeling touched at first, but what the heck was he talking about in the end?


    Nevertheless, it was so rare to see him being so gentle. She wasn¡¯t tense anymore and smiled at him


    gently. The two of them shared a nket and was facing each other, feeling each other¡¯s breath,


    ¡°Thank you for rescuing me today. I don¡¯t care what your motive is, but you saved me and you have my


    thanks for it.¡±


    Euan caressed her back with hisrge palms, palms sorge it covered up half of her back. It was


    warm and gentle.


    ¡°How do you want to thank me?¡±


    What? Was he asking for a reward?


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    ¡°How do you want me to thank you?¡±


    Euan raised his brow and said, ¡°Kiss me.¡±


    His request wasn¡¯t that overly, they were sharing a nket right now. But she was surprised, they were


    going to get a divorce and now they were acting like newlyweds.


    No, it couldn¡¯t be. She was thinking too much,


    Her gaze was off focused as she grabbed his arms with her thin arms. She inched closer to his


    handsome face and lifted his chin. She kissed him on the lips.


    She approached him slowly but the kiss itself was over in an instant, like a dragonfly skimming the


    surface of the water. He wasn¡¯t satisfied.


    It wasn¡¯t enough.


    He buckled his hands and pulled her close against himself. He looked down and kissed her deeply.


    Their lips pressed fully against each other and fire was burning inside both of them¡­


    He enjoyed her lips thoroughly, taking in her scent. It seemed like she wasn¡¯t satisfied and hence he


    put his tongue in. But he suddenly remembered that her tongue was cut and so he stopped doing that,


    suppressing the bulge emerging around his abdomen.


    She was used to him doing something forceful like that.


    She liked it when he did that.


    Euan hugged her and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go sleep. I¡¯m hungry and might just gobble up what¡¯s in front of me.¡±


    Riley was speechless and she quickly closed her eyes and sleep.


    In the dark, Euan smiled. What was he thinking? Though he was really hungry, he should¡¯ve grabbed


    some food before he went to sleep.


    She enjoyed his hug and both of them slept well that night.


    Euan was already awake early in the morning. Their rtionship wasn¡¯t known yet and he didn¡¯t want


    others to misunderstand, painting her as the bad person again.


    Riley felt the emptiness next to her when she woke up. The stuff in the bathroom was all cleaned up as


    if Euan didn¡¯t stay the night. As if it was just a dream.


    Riley was feeling much better after being hospitalized for a day.


    She bypassed William and discharged herself.


    Around evening, at the MBK International Corporation.


    Euan was sitting at the desk, staring at the video on the monitor. It was Aiden and his cynical yet


    handsome face.


    ¡°How¡¯s the investigation going? Don¡¯t fool around with me.¡±


    Aiden scratched his head, ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a rush. It happened a long time ago and I couldn¡¯t just go


    up and ask directly about it. I¡¯m also not working in the hospital archives. I¡¯ll be in trouble if I just waltz


    in and grab some documents. I¡¯m looking for the opportunity right now.¡±


    ¡°You used to be very efficient, what happened? You gotmer ever since you weren¡¯t training under


    me. If that¡¯s the case, move your ass here and I¡¯ll retrain you again.¡±


    Euan smirked and was provoking him.


    Mr. Gibson quickly said no, ¡°I¡¯m working on it. But why do you care so much about what happened to


    her so many years ago? If you really liked her, just forget about what she did. You guys are together


    now, isn¡¯t that the most important thing? You guys are so dishonest.¡±


    ¡°No, I need to uncover the truth. If she wasn¡¯t at fault for the incident back then, then I would have to be


    responsible for all I did for the past 3 years.¡±


    ¡°And what if it was true?¡±


    Euan remained silent, ¡°Just look into it and tell me about every detail.¡±


    ¡°Okay. By the way, what¡¯s going on with Lydia? I saw posters in the US about hering to New York


    to film a movie.¡±


    Lydia was going to New York?


    Euan felt shamelessly relieved.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know and I don¡¯t want to know.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re a heartless bastard, you don¡¯t care about her one bit.¡±


    ¡°She has a special status and I cannot do much about her. Just focus on your work for now.¡±


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯m just your dog anyways.¡±


    Euan knocked his finger on the table. He thought about the opportunity that got away and said, ¡°Is


    there a way for me to officially announce my rtionship with her? In a sense that it wouldn¡¯t affect her


    name and her life.¡±


    Aidenughed intensely, ¡°Announce you guys¡¯ rtionship? You¡¯re Euan George, any woman who tries


    to get closer to you will be the target of attention. If you announced Riley as your wife, she would


    be attacked by the media and her peaceful days would be ruin. You have to think about it more


    carefully.¡±


    Euan rubbed his temple, ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m worried about.¡±


    ¡°You really loved her. Since when did you ever care about someone else¡¯s feelings? I suggest that you


    talk about it with her so that she can be mentally prepared about being surrounded in public


    everywhere she goes or being stalked all the time.¡±


    For the first time in Euan¡¯s life, he felt annoyed at his status.


    ¡°Also¡­¡± Euan poked his brow, ¡°Is there an easy way to test if she likes me back?¡±


    Aiden was about to die fromughing, ¡°Mr. George, are you sure that you are married for three years


    and not a boy in puberty? You¡­ you really like her!¡±


    ¡°Shut up and answer me!¡±


    ¡°Well, first of all, you can try getting close to her. Cling to her shamelessly¡­¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s my second choice?¡± What bullshit was he spouting!


    Aiden coughed and said, ¡°Well, you could also try to stay flirty with Lydia and see if Riley would get


    jealous. If she is then she cares about you, if not then you¡¯re doomed.¡±


    Euan rubbed his knees. The first method was the better way to go around it.


    ¡°Get back to work!¡±


    ¡°Which method did you choose?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll decideter and I¡¯m not telling you.¡±

 Chapter 91 He Called Her Darling the First Time

    Chapter 91 He Called Her Darling the First Time


    Riley nned to go back to work tomorrow as usual, so she went through discharge formalities and


    went back to her office in a hurry. She didn¡¯t get much attention because she imed it was food


    poisoning.


    However, stories about her rtionship with William Hardesty were somehow spread everywhere in


    various exaggerated versions.


    ¡°Dr Watson, you knew Mr Hardesty in your college years?¡±


    ¡°Dr Watson, it never came to me that you and Mr Hardesty were lovers. Your secret was well-hidden,


    and you¡¯re quite a low-key person.¡±


    ¡°Come on! Mrs Hardesty, you don¡¯t need to keep low-key about it. Our hospital is friendly to office


    affairs.¡±


    Riley felt sad and helpless. Who started the rumors? She totally can¡¯t understand!


    Serena Rose came near her with smiling face, ¡°Dr Watson, the story of Mr Hardesty risking his life to


    save you has be a fairytale in our hospital. How inspirational, romantic and hot-blooded it is. The


    men doctors seem to see a way to show their charming personalities, and they¡¯re full of passion every


    day.¡±


    How boring it is!


    ¡°Nothing happened between me and Mr Hardesty. Rumors would disappear as time goes by. Please


    send me the records of the ward rounds of the patient with coronary heart disease.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t fob us off with patients.¡±


    Dr Watson knocked Serena¡¯s head kiddingly with the file in her hand, ¡°When did it happen that a


    doctor¡¯s job is to gossip, while treating patients be the sideline?¡±


    ¡°Well, you win, I can¡¯t outargue you. Here are the patient¡¯s records, and these, these, they¡¯re all of


    yours. Oh, right, this one is sent by Ms Pouchain when you were absent.¡±


    Damn it. There was mounting pile of work waiting for her! She just didn¡¯t go to work for one day, but it


    seemed as if half a year passed!


    ¡°Able men are always busy. Wish you good luck, Dr Watson.¡±


    Serena went away grinningly.


    Humph! The king can do as he likes. Jeanne Pouchain would definitely try to be harder on her on the


    basis that rumors about her and William Hardesty went into her ears.


    Okay! Let¡¯s do it.


    Holding piles of files, Riley walked out of the hospital, and it had already past six.


    She hailed a taxi and went back to her apartment.


    She put the files on the sofa and decided to cook meal for herself.


    Her phone rang as she was wearing the apron.


    It was Euan George?!


    Why would he call her?


    ¡°Where are you?¡± he asked calmly and briefly.


    Riley bit her lips, ¡°At home.¡±


    Euan raised his hand to check the time, and then he took his car key and walked to the elevator while


    talking to the phone, ¡°Which home?¡±


    She never called YJ vi home, even if she did, she must be forced to do it. She replied naturally, so it


    must not be the vi.


    ¡°In¡­¡­my own apartment.¡±


    She was not good at lying, so she told the truth.


    Good! She didn¡¯t go the vi.


    The fact was, he didn¡¯t want to go there either.


    ¡°Have you eaten dinner?¡± why Euan asked so naturally?


    ¡°Not yet, but I¡¯m gonna do it myself.¡± and why she replied so naturally?


    Euan sit into the car and the ck Rolls-Royce got started with a click as the key whirled, ¡°Any food at


    home?¡±


    Riley stood in front of the fridge, in which there was¡­¡­


    She felt awkward and found there was only cocktail but no food in the fridge.


    Euan frowned slightly, ¡°Go downstairs now and wait for me at the entrance of the shopping mall. I¡¯ll be


    there in about ten minutes.¡±


    What did he mean?


    ¡°Hello? Hello!¡±


    The phone was hung up!


    With doubts in mind, Riley took off the apron and changed her shoes, walking to the shopping mall. It


    only took her less than twenty minutes to get there. In a short distance from the shopping mall, she saw


    a Rolls-Royce parking among the ordinary cars, particrly conspicuous among them. Nobody had the


    nerve to park the car beside it.


    It was not a developed ce, and people¡¯s consumption ability was at the median level, so there were


    few people driving expensive cars. But the Rolls-Royce parking there made everybody try to avoid it,


    N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    because the repair would cost them even more than a car of theirs if people idently scratched it.


    A tall figure came out of the car, ck Versace suit and a fine-featured charming face attracting


    people¡¯s eyes.


    He was noble, mature and aloof, revealing an air of arrogance. It can be nobody but Euan George.


    ¡°What are we doing here?¡± Riley came up to him.


    Euan observed the mall and said, ¡°The supermarket is at the underground floor?¡±


    ¡°Yes, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Good.


    He moved his long legs before she could react!


    She stood stiff there and he looked back with an impatient look, ¡°Don¡¯t you move?¡±


    Er¡­¡­fine.


    But what did he mean by shopping together in the supermarket? And¡­¡­he got a shopping cart in his


    hand? Heavens!


    People¡¯s eyes around locked at him and as if they would eat him alive, but he just ignored them. Such


    a noble and dashing man was like a lighthouse wherever he went. He was the man form heavens!


    Riley kept herself apart from him¡­¡­


    ¡°Why do you keep far away from me? Come over.¡±


    She moved to him with small steps¡­¡­.until there was still one step distance between them.


    He frowned and directly held her waist with his arm!


    She felt nervous and tense, breathing quickly! She felt fire was burning in her brain!


    Riley was extremely hot in the burning.


    Meeting the jealousy and unfriendly eyes from the people around, Riley moved her muscle unnaturally


    and forced a smile, ¡°Euan, What are you doing?¡±


    Euan remained calm and pushed the cart slowly to the fresh food section, ¡°Shopping for groceries.¡±


    Riley was too shocked to speak.


    ¡°Why are you sanding there? Get something you can cook, I¡¯m hungry.¡±


    She looked up at him, swallowed, ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    His eyes were as dark as ink, in which there was a sense of evilness and pride, ¡°Are you done with


    that? Let¡¯s get some food materials.¡±


    Buying, buying food materials?


    The whole world was shivering with her together.


    Riley got some materials easy to cook, with vegetable as the main food, supplemented by meat and


    fish.


    ¡°Done.¡±


    There were just a few things in the cart. Euan frowned, ¡°That¡¯s all?¡±


    Riley nodded, ¡°It¡¯s enough for a meal for us.¡±


    His brows smoothed and he wondered, what if it was more than a meal?


    But he decided to say nothing.


    There was a long queue for paying bills. Riley thought it would be possible that people may voluntarily


    make way for because of his dashing face and unique air, so she tried to hold the cart, ¡°I¡¯ll go, you can


    wait for me outside.¡±


    But the moment her hand touched the medal rod of the cart, he covered her hand softly with his, in


    such a natural but domineering way¡­¡­


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    There was no way for her to refuse him.


    ¡°Cash or credit?¡± the cashier locked her crazy eyes on Euan.


    Riley didn¡¯t like it and replied with anger, ¡°Alipay, please!¡±


    She left home in a hurry only with her phone, so she can only pay by Alipay.


    Euan took out his wallet and put it on her hand, grabbing her phone, ¡°Cash.¡±


    Riley was speechless again.


    It was unbelievable that a man like him should have cash with him?!


    ¡°Good, sir.¡±


    The cashier intended to take the one hundred RMB pulled out from the wallet from Riley¡¯s hand, but


    Riley held the money tightly. A few secondster¡­¡­


    ¡°Darling, we need to pay for the food.¡±


    Boom!


    An atomic bomb exploded in her mind!


    She loosed her hand in shock. The money was pulled out of her hand, so did her mind! What he called


    her just now?


    It was almost four years since their marriage that she never ever heard him call her darling, never!


    With great shock in her brown eyes, she stared at Euan nkly, as if everybody disappeared at the


    moment.


    That face was extremely enchanting and charming, with his profound and beautiful eyes growing


    deeper and wider, in which all his qualities and nobility were sealed up, mysterious and immeasurable.


    ¡°Hey! Do you move or not? We have no time waiting!¡±


    She was stiffened. Euan held her shoulder and took her away.


    ¡°Your changes¡­¡­¡±


    Their leaving figures seemed to tell the cashier that they didn¡¯t hear it.


    When getting in the car, Riley finally came back to her sense, ¡°I¡­I need an exnation.¡±


    Euan started the car and replied casually, ¡°Why?¡±


    As her husband, he should be allowed to call her darling.


    But why he felt so pleasant and good when he called her that way?


    They went upstairs and got in the house. Riley prepared to cook dinner.


    She looked like a gentle and considerate wife now after wearing the apron, her toughness in the day


    totally disappearing. Euan was pleased with it.


    ¡°Would you like the steamed or boiled?¡±


    She meant the fish.


    He sat on the sofa in the living room, with his legs crossed, and flipped the files she brought home from


    hospital, ¡°Suit yourself, I can eat as you like.¡±


    He meant her.


    Riley felt hot in the face. Shameless! He never forgot to flirt with her, even when they were talking a


    fish!


    Finally she braised the fish with a lot of pepper! Let him feel how hot it was!


    When she finished, four dishes and a soup were served on the table. What a wonderful dinner! Homely


    dishes were not a big deal for her.


    ¡°Dinner is ready.¡± she prepared bowls and chopsticks, called Euan.


    His tall figure was sort of daunting. His uproarious air can be sensed everywhere in the narrow living


    room.


    He sat at the table directly and reached for chopsticks.


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡­did you wash your hands?¡±


    She asked naturally.


    He reached out his hands, ¡°They¡¯re clean.¡±


    As a doctor, Riley can¡¯t stand it, ¡°You touched the files just now, which has been touched by numerous


    people. Even they¡¯re not dirty, there are bacteria. Wash your hands before eat.¡±


    She took away his chopsticks.


    Euan frowned but felt happy, ¡°Right.¡±


    With the water flowing slowly, his strong male hormone was traced by her breath, full of dangerous


    temptation.


    He washed hands and showed them to her, ¡°How about now?¡±


    She held her breath for a moment, ¡°¡­¡­good.¡±


    They sat at the table. His sight immediately was drawn by the reddish fish. God knows how much


    pepper she put in it?


    She smiled at him, ¡°All I can offer is humble fare. The fish is especially cooked for you. You must taste


    it.¡±


    She knew he can¡¯t eat spicy food. She did it on purpose.


    Damn woman!


    ¡°I will.¡±


    He pushed aside the pepper and peppercorns on the fish with chopsticks, with the fair and tender fish


    exposed, ¡°This is the way you like it to be?¡±


    Well? He could eat as she liked¡­¡­


    With kidney beans in her mouth, she almost choked, ¡°Are you going to eat or not?¡±


    He was such a talkative machine.


    He got a piece of fish, with a calm expression, ¡°Yes, of course. As long as you like it, I will definitely eat


    it even you poisoned it.¡±


    Ambiguous atmosphere spread in the air¡­¡­the air became hot¡­¡­.Dr Watson blushed.


    ¡°I think¡±


    He intended to put the fish in his mouth, but Riley finally gave up and said, ¡°This may be a little too


    spicy for you. It¡¯s better to taste other dishes.¡±


    A cunning look shed in his eyes. He replied quietly, ¡°Hot food gives people a lot of vor. Strip off the


    skin, and taste the tender meat. The spicy lingers in mouth and excites the taste bud.¡±


    God! He was eating fish, but she felt her clothes had been stripped off by him!


    His mouth was burning like fire. What a hard woman!


    Riley put a big piece of fish in his bowl, ¡°Well, it seems that you are an expert at eating fish, then please


    help yourself.¡±


    Let pepper teach you a lesson! Riley wondered.


    He remained calm, ¡°It seems that one bite can¡¯t meet your demand, then how many times do you


    want? I can satisfy you. It doesn¡¯t matter if I get inmed.¡±

 Chapter 92 Let’s Go to Sleep

    Chapter 92 Let¡¯s Go to Sleep


    He never wasted a chance to flirt with her. Riley felt it was too much for to digest. From then on, she


    may hate to eat fish for a long time.


    She had no idea whether it was his flirtatious words or her crazy thought y the part, because she felt


    she was crushed by his tease.


    After dinner, she washed the dishes in the kitchen.


    When she came out of the kitchen, she found that Euna sitting on the sofa and reading something. It


    was not the files she brought from the hospital but an old book on the shelf.


    She leaned against the kitchen door, staring at his profile. Hefortablyy back on the sofa, with his


    long legs crossed. He was just flipping the book, but he looked like a noble and regal aristocrat of


    Ennd.


    His nobility lingered among the pages touched by his slender fingers.


    He was addictive, like poisonous poppies.


    ¡°You like to pee at others, don¡¯t you?¡±


    He didn¡¯t raise his head, but the certainty in his tone made her have no way to argue for herself.


    ¡°When did I pee at you?¡± she grab a towel in a rush to dry her hands.


    ¡°Well, you didn¡¯t pee, like you said, but you also didn¡¯t do it in a honest and direct way. Come over.¡± He


    flipped the page between his long fingers.


    His invitation always sounded so natural. If she refused, she would be the one that had problem.


    She moved slowly to the small sofa, of which he took up two-third, but one-third was enough for her.


    She thought for a second and chose to sit down, with a distance of only two or three centimeters


    between them. She could easily touch his arm or leg as long as she moved. Incidental touches heated


    them and the ambiguous atmosphere was fermenting in the air.


    Riley frowned andined in her mind, ¡°What? Why gave me materials of patients in the


    department of cerebral surgery? And there are several patients who don¡¯t need surgery sent to the


    cardiac surgery department.¡±


    ¡°Patter!¡± Riley got irritated and forgot the man beside her, throwing the files on the floor¡­¡­


    The room was silent for a second.


    Euan asked her carelessly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Her mouth unnaturally twitched, ¡°Something about my work.¡±


    He nced at the materials in her hands, ¡°it is an obvious mistake that patients are assigned to the


    wrong departments. It deserves you make a fuss about it.¡±


    How did he know?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised. I¡¯ve read the materials when you were cooking.¡±


    She was pissed off and said nothing.


    Euan raised his eyes slowly, mysterious, profound and wise, ¡°Pour me a ss of water.¡±


    Didn¡¯t she notice that she was furious? Pour him water? Think about it in the dream!


    Riley did do it, but she only fetched only one ss of water and she drank it, then she put it in front of


    her, ¡°Do it yourself.¡±


    Euan continued reading the book, and she came back to the files. He held the book with one hand and


    stretched the other hand to the back of the sofa where she sat, with his fingers separated in a natural


    way and his arm bent slightly, as if embracing her in the arm.


    After a while, he withdrew his hand to turn the page, but every time he would touch her hair and ears


    sometimes.


    Every close touch heated the ambiguous atmosphere. There were fragrances floating in the air,


    consisting of his mescal and her gardenia.


    Against the warm beans of the floormp, Riley can saw his profile inadvertently. His head was bent


    slightly, and his hair covered half of his forehead, leaving a shade on his face, which made her


    contours look more profound.


    As she was staring at him, Euan reached his hand casually in front of her to get the water. When his


    lips touched the edge of the ss, he still fixed his eyes on the book and drank it. The ce his lips


    touched was exactly the ce she touched when she drank water.


    His white and slender fingers matched the ss well, looking like a gorgeous art work.


    ¡°I drank it.¡±


    So it was an indirect¡­¡­kiss.


    He didn¡¯t make response and still held the ss beside his lips, as if going to have another sip.


    ¡°I¡¯ve used it. I mean mouth touched it. It¡¯s unhygienic to share the ss.¡±


    Euan was obsessional about cleanliness. She attempted to provoke him by saying these, and she was


    waiting for his response.


    ¡°Uh-huh.¡± He didn¡¯t move his sight away from the book and responded simply. He didn¡¯t care about it at


    all.


    Now it was Riley herself that felt confused!


    He admitted it was unhygienic but he didn¡¯t care?!


    How can he make such a careless response? It was so disrespectful!


    ¡°Actually, it¡¯s fine, we just touched the same ce with lips, but we didn¡¯t eat the ss, right?¡±


    Damn! What was she exining?!


    ¡°And I didn¡¯t put on lipstick, so the ss is clean.¡±


    She added more to the exnation. What was wrong with her brain?


    Euan finally shift his sight away from the book and stared at her with a meaningful look. He drank it


    again, with his lips staying at the same ce. With a sense of evilness shed in his eyes, he said,


    ¡°So?¡±


    So?


    She had given her exnation. Was there anything more she could do?


    Wait a minute. She emphasized her mouth was clean and she didn¡¯t put on lipstick just now, but it


    sounded that she was iming kisses from him.


    ¡°So¡­¡­there is no need to rush. You can feel free to have more if you drink it over.¡± She made an


    excuse and continued to focus on the files.


    As she was dealing with the files, the doorbell suddenly rang.


    Who could it be at such ate hour?


    Euan and Riley looked at each other for a moment.


    Riley felt confused. She wondered, what day was today? Water and electricity fee? Or rental and


    property management fee?


    These ideas shed in her mind, and she said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    When the door opened, it was a middle aged woman, a stranger.


    ¡°Ah! You¡¯re at home. The thing is my house was burrized yesterday night. And the security


    personnel can never y a role as they should at all those moments¡­¡­I know you live alone, so I


    live alone on their list!¡±


    The woman was her neighbor, one of the four families living on the first floor.


    When the woman was busy exining, a deep voice was heard from living room, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    It was quiet outside the door as the man spoke!


    The woman appeared embarrassed and looked at the dashing man in the house. Her mouth opened


    several times wider with great shock!


    ¡°You are not living alone?¡± her tone as if saying why there was a man?


    Before Riley could exin to her, Euan had moved his long legs and walked to the door, ¡°I¡¯m at home.


    She¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    The woman was totally stunned now. The man was so attractive and good-looking! She never saw a


    man more beautiful than him, ¡°You¡­¡­you are?¡±


    He put his hand on Riley¡¯s shoulder. His gorgeous face was sparkling. ¡°Her husband.¡±


    The woman left, still in shock, and can¡¯t stop murmuring ¡°what a hot man¡±!


    He just said too much ¡®wife¡¯ and ¡®husband¡¯ today!


    She shook his hand off her shoulder, ¡°You don¡¯t have to exin it in that way. When we got married,


    you said we should keep our rtionship as a secret, but what do you mean now?¡±


    There being dark light floating in the man¡¯s sly eyes, he raised his long arm across her head and closed


    the door, ¡°Things changed through the passage of time. Nothing is certain in life. And my feelings


    decide my action.¡±


    What? Could he one day changed their unified im to the public about their rtion because he feels


    like changing it?


    Ridiculous!


    ¡°It¡¯ste. Let¡¯s wash up and go to sleep.¡± Euan put down the book and got up.


    ¡°You go first, but I have work to do.¡± she was still studying the piles of materials.


    Damn it! All these must be prepared for tomorrow¡¯s work. It would kill her!


    He took the files away from her, ¡°Dr Watson? The ace doctor of cardiac surgery department? The


    young associate professor?¡± what did he mean by speaking out her titles in a strange tone?


    Sure enough¡ª


    ¡°With so many titles, but look at your work efficiency? How many surprises do you have?¡±


    Shit!


    She scratched to her feet, ¡°Mr George, I am an ordinary person like everyone. As for the musical titles


    given by the society, you don¡¯t have to be serious about it.¡±


    Euan¡¯s tall figure blocked light of the floormp in her direction, leaving her in dark shade, ¡°So you


    decide to stay up and work hard to make up the short of your wit?¡±


    She raised her delicate face, ¡°Yeah, can¡¯t I?¡±


    ¡°No, on the contrary, staying up will make you stupid. The best way is to have enough sleep.¡± he


    uttered domineeringly and grabbed her wrist, ¡°Take a shower, now.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    She never saw such a person!


    Riley was pushed into the bathroom for shower, with anger.


    Outside the bathroom, Euan crossed arms on his chest and thought, ¡°She¡¯s just recovered. How can


    she stay upte for work regardless of her body condition?¡±


    When she was in the bathroom, her phone rang on the sofa.


    It was Lydia.


    He thought it was okay for him to answer it.


    Touch the answer button.


    ¡°Anything wanna tell her? I¡¯m listening.¡±


    Lydia was shocked in the vi, ¡°Euan¡­¡­why are you¡­..?¡±


    ¡°It seems you have nothing to tell.¡±


    Full of impatience.


    Lydia pinched the pillow with her fingers, ¡°Oh, I just want to ask her if there is a way to reduce the


    soreness of waist during pregnancy. My waist is sore now¡­¡­¡±


    She nned to have a big quarrel with Riley, but it was Euan that answered the phone, so she held it


    and made up an excuse.


    Euan frowned and got serious, ¡°Ask Dr Rose for advice if you need any.¡±


    Wouldn¡¯t he feel sorry for her?


    Sitting in the empty vi lobby, Lydia had no ce to give vent to her resentment. She had to


    swallowed it before Euan, ¡°Okay, Euan¡­¡­I¡¯m waiting for you at home.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to, I won¡¯t go back tonight.¡±


    Something suddenly urred to her, ¡°Euan, don¡¯t you say you weren¡¯t in JD city recently? When did


    you get back?¡±


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Euan had no patience to exin to her, ¡°Lydia, Don¡¯t forget who you are. You have no right to concern


    my life.¡±


    As he hung up, Riley came out of the bathroom.


    Her slender body was in a baggy summer nightgown. Reserved as it was, her beautiful body shape


    was discernible. Her wet hair was wrapped with a towel, and her face flushed red in steamed water


    mist.


    It stirred some part of the man¡¯s body.


    Seeing the phone in his hand, Riley was confused, ¡°Why is my phone in your hand?¡±


    Euan stepped to her, resting his long arms on the bathroom door, locking her between the door and his


    chest, and he bent near to her. The heated ambiguity in the air can be easily lit.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    His warm breath went through her face, ¡°I told you at the table, the pleasure of eating¡­¡­is finding


    excitement in food.¡±

 Chapter 93 I Will Misunderstand and Think That You Love Me

    Chapter 93 I Will Misunderstand and Think That You Love Me


    Such vaguely alluring and dreamy words came out of Euan¡¯s mouth, making her heart tremble. She


    blushed suddenly. The red glow creeping up in her cheeks like soft clouds made her look innocent and


    bashful enough to melt someone¡¯s heart.


    Seeing her looking so quiet and shy, Euan felt very happy.


    It felt like teasing her and flirting with her were far more interesting than he had imagined.


    Why hadn¡¯t he noticed this in the past three years?


    However, Riley was Riley. She knew how to make him extremely infuriated. She grinned and said,


    ¡°Euan, you should leave your flirting techniques for those tender-hearted delicate women of yours. Let


    me go, I need to dry my hair.¡±


    He still stayed in his position with his hands on the wall, keeping her between his arms, ¡°What are you


    afraid of? This is not our first time.¡±


    Riley raised her head, dripping water from her hair onto her clothes, ¡°So, these romantic rituals are no


    longer needed. Whenever you need,e to me directly. This way suits your style better.¡±


    ¡®This stupid womanpletely ruined the romantic atmosphere with her words!¡¯ Euan felt annoyed.


    Because of her deliberate provocation, he lost his erection, ¡°You¡­ you are good!¡±


    Riley smiled evilly and the blush on her face slowly disappeared, ¡°Thank you for praising me, Euan!


    Now please let me go.¡±


    Euan put a hand on the top of her head, ¡°What if I don¡¯t?¡±


    ¡®Naive!¡¯


    Riley simply bent her knees to lower her slender body and slipped out from under his arm.


    Seeing the space in front of him empty as she suddenly escaped, his eyebrows raised in surprise but


    then his expressions changed as a deep smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    ¡®Riley, you are very interesting!¡¯ No matter if she previously used to pretend or behaved deliberately, he


    could see that her fierceness and arrogance had faded away. Wasn¡¯t she too a woman after all?


    Aiden¡¯s method seemed to be quite effective.


    While blow-drying her hair, Riley gritted her teeth. She hadn¡¯t expected her period toe at such a


    time. If she had cked off even a bit just now and was caught by Euan, it would have been a bloody


    sight.


    But how was she going to sleep tonight?


    Riley tried to think of the solution. She ran into the bedroom while Euan was taking a shower and


    locked the door.


    She pped her hands happily, ¡°That should do it!¡±


    He could sleep on the sofa for one night. She was prone to cramps during periods, if she caught a cold


    at such a time she was going to die from the pain.


    Euan came out of the bathroom and saw that the bedroom door was locked. Seeing a nket and a


    pillow on the sofa, he frowned. She actually wanted him to sleep on the sofa?


    How did she have enough guts to provoke him so courageously?


    But¡­


    Riley woke up and stretched her arms sleepily, but something was in the way.


    She turned to her side only to be greeted by the chest of a man!


    She was stunned!


    ¡®How did he get in?¡¯


    Euan was already awake. He squinted his eyes nkly and saidzily, ¡°Next time you lock the door,


    don¡¯t forget the key on the entrance hall¡¯s cab.¡±


    Riley was speechless.


    Fuck!


    She must have donated her IQ for charity!


    Fortunately, her clothes were still in order. He had just slept there and hadn¡¯t tried to do anything to her.


    Riley got up to make breakfast andpletely used all the things that were boughtst night.


    She arranged them on the table. By this time, Euan also came out of the bathroom wearing only a


    towel around him. This scene was too hot for her to handle in the morning.


    He walked towards the table and seemed to be reading her thoughts, ¡°I don¡¯t repeat wearing the same


    clothes the next day.¡±


    ¡®So, you want to parade around to show-off, you pervert!¡¯


    It wasn¡¯t that easy.


    ¡°The clothes you left herest time are washed. You can wear them.¡±


    The corners of her mouth raised in a smile as she felt proud of herself.


    She brought out a stack of neatly folded clothes, a shirt, and a pair of trousers.


    Euan stared at her calmly, his deep eyes twinkling lightly with a warning, ¡°Just these? Where is the


    underwear?¡±


    He waited for her to blush, but she didn¡¯t. Instead, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Euan. It¡¯s all here! Your


    underwear is more expensive than other peoples¡¯ watches, how can I lose it?¡±


    Did this mean that she wanted to sell it?


    She pulled out a pair of ck underwear with her slender fingers and shook them in her hand.


    Euan¡¯s eyes narrowed, ¡°These are made of a special fabric and cannot be machine-washed. Once


    washed in the machine, they can¡¯t be worn again.¡±


    ¡®Oh, God! How many excuses he can make just to run around naked?¡¯


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I washed them by hand.¡±


    Thinking about the time she washed the clothes¡­ she was not in the same frame of mind back then as


    she was now. That was the first time she was washing his clothes. She didn¡¯t send them to the dry


    cleaners and washed them all carefully by hand. She had kept them aside to keep as memories


    afterwards. After all, she was about to get divorced.


    ¡°All of them?¡±


    Including the underwear?


    ¡°Of course, they are all hand-washed.¡±


    Her tone was calm and confident.


    Euan¡¯s deep eyes shone evilly, ¡°Very good!¡±


    He had to wear the clothes she had touched with both her hands, especially the ones that are worn


    very close to the skin.


    He came out after changing his clothes, looking dazzling and awe-inspiring in front of Riley. He slowly


    rolled the cuffs of his sleeves upwards to reveal his strong well-proportioned forearms and his slender


    beautiful hands.


    The soft morning sun was falling on his face, making him shine like the moon.


    Riley¡¯s eyes lit up as she sat there stunned staring at him.


    Euan let her watch his body. He slowly took his seat at the table and said naturally, ¡°The dirty clothes


    are in the bathroom. Remember, all of them have to be washed by hand.¡±


    Riley bit on her chopsticks and didn¡¯t reply.


    It was a simple andfortable breakfast, but Riley ate slowly. Just like the dead man who will look


    radiant in the moments before death, she was vaguely afraid that Euan and her time together was soon


    going to end.


    Their divorce was an unchangeable fact. The more memories he gave her to cherish, the more it was


    going to hurt him when he had to leave her.


    After she got ready to go to work after breakfast, Euan dragged her to his car, ¡°I¡¯ll drop you.¡±


    ¡°You are a busy person, Euan. I can manage by myself!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t think too much! I will use the petrol fee to pay the rent.¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t know what to say.


    She had thought that he would stop there, but he went on to add lightly, ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up after work.¡±


    Riley had no words left.


    ¡°While you take care of your patients, also think about what you want for dinner and breakfast


    tomorrow.¡±


    Riley stayed silent for some time, ¡°Euan, if you keep doing this, I will misunderstand and think that you


    love me.¡±


    Euan put his fingers on the steering wheel, ¡°Is it just a misunderstanding?¡±


    She was astonished, ¡°Well, it¡¯s not the truth, is it?¡±


    As she waited nervously for his answer, she didn¡¯t dare to think¡­ she almost didn¡¯t dare to listen.


    He was silent for a while but his gaze was fixed on her. The more he looked into her eyes, the deeper


    he fell.


    ¡°Go to work. You find some answers sooner orter.¡±


    Riley got out of the car looking astonished.


    Since when did the rtionship between them be so¡­ weird? This kind of dialogue had never


    happened between them, nor was it in-line with their nature or in-line with their marriage which was on


    the verge of disintegration.


    Shaking her head, she chuckled. Was it some new tricks he was ying to handle her? Giving her


    hope at first to make her unable to free herself and then abandon her cruelly?


    He was an addictive man. Once addicted to him, there was no way to quit nor could she be


    addicted to anything else.


    The only way was to divorce him as soon as possible.


    As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she received a call from the ward.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, the condition of the patient with coronary heart disease has suddenly worsened. Please


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    She didn¡¯t even have time to change her clothes. Putting the phone in her pocket, she rushed towards


    the ward directly holding her bag.


    ¡°What are his vitals?¡±


    ¡°Blood pressure is 85 by 40, her pulse is 70. Breathing is uniform on both sides. His oxygen saturation


    is decreasing and he can¡¯t breathe properly.¡±


    Riley dropped her bag on the chair and stretched out her hands to check the patient¡¯s eyes and then


    his breathing rate and pulse. This didn¡¯t make sense, the patient only had coronary heart disease, this


    shouldn¡¯t have happened.


    His family members who were waiting on the side were all trembling with fright. They kept crying and


    begging her to save him. But Riley couldn¡¯t detect the abnormality from the position of the heart.


    Because of the running just now, her abdomen started to throb with pain. As a doctor, it was impossible


    to avoid menstrual cramps for her!


    ¡°What did the patient do before his condition worsened?¡±


    She asked eagerly as sweat beaded on her forehead.


    The family hurriedly exined, ¡°He got up in the morning and went to the bathroom and then took


    medicine¡­ oh, and he wanted to eat fruit so I peeled an orange for him and he ate that some time


    before this happened.¡±


    The assistant doctor looked at Riley in confusion, unable to understand the reason behind the patient¡¯s


    condition.


    But Riley understood!


    ¡°Get back!¡±


    Riley asked the other doctors to retreat. She climbed on the bed, and pressed the patient¡¯s stomach


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    and intestines with her palms. Her hands moved upwards, again and again, increasing their pressure.


    Suddenly, the patient vomited and an unchewed piece of orange was thrown out of his mouth.


    Then, he coughed.


    After the piece of orange that was jammed in his aesophagus was removed, he resumed normal


    breathing. He looked around at the doctors in confusion, ¡°What happened?¡±


    Riley stepped down from the bed and sternly reprimanded him, ¡°You are asking me what is wrong? I


    told you that in your current condition, you are only allowed liquid food but you still ate an orange? I


    think you want to be transferred to the surgical ward.¡±


    The patient¡¯s face turned pale upon hearing this, ¡°Dr. Watson, I am really sorry. I just got¡­ greedy. I


    have been on the liquid food for a couple of days now, I couldn¡¯t stand it.¡±


    The family members continued to apologize to her, ¡°It was our fault.¡±


    Riley told him again, ¡°Originally, you were to eat liquid food only for three days but now you have to do


    it for another week.¡±


    ¡°Huh? A week? You mean¡­ five days?¡±


    ¡°Eight days!¡±


    He didn¡¯t dare to argue anymore, ¡°Okay, I will listen to you, Dr. Watson. A week!¡±


    Riley¡¯s lower abdomen hurt badly and the sweat from her forehead was beginning to drip down. The


    doctor beside her thought she was too anxious from saving the patient just now and used him,


    ¡°See, how you made her tired. Next time, don¡¯t make her so worried.¡±


    ¡°Let him rest and contact me if anything happens.¡±


    As she was leaving after picking up her bag, Riley heard someone talking behind her, ¡°Dr. Watson


    looked so cool while rescuing the patient!¡±


    Back at the office, Riley made herself a hot cup of brown sugar water. After half of the cup was


    finished, Jeanne came over.


    Seeing her, Riley frowned. If she was here, it must not be good news.


    ¡°Everyone! Please stop doing whatever you are doing right now. I need to tell you all something.¡±


    Jeanne held a document in one hand and her other hand was in her pocket, putting on official airs.


    Serena and Margot looked at each other in dismay. Riley continued to drink her sugar water. Jeanne¡¯s


    important announcement was not going to help her cramps!


    Jeanne narrowed her eyes at Riley and then continued in a loathing tone, ¡°Someone from the


    municipal council will being to the hospital for an assessment. The hospital has participated in the


    in JD City. It is very important and many departments especially those that deal with heart, brain, and


    tumor are in the top priority of the assessment.¡±


    ¡®Boring! This hospital is already JD City¡¯s central hospital! What is the point of hanging up an extra


    status?¡¯


    Riley criticized inwardly. Jeanne looked at her and said lightly, ¡°Dr. Watson, pleasee with


    me.¡±

 Chapter 94 A Master Plays Ignorant

    Chapter 94 A Master ys Ignorant


    "Dr. Watson has been summoned away again by Ms. Pouchain. I am very uneasy. Do you think Dr.


    Watson has had a good day since Ms. Pouchain came over to our hospital?"


    "She''s an ace doctor and has a heavier task than us. Let¡¯s ask her how she''s doing when she gets


    back. "


    In Jeanne''s office.


    Riley held the back of her chair with one hand to ease the pain in her stomach, "Ms. Pouchain, what


    did you want to see me about?"


    Jeanne sat in a chair and looked at her with her arms wrapped around her chest. She wore eyeliner


    and her make-up was delicate. But she had a scowl on her face. She looked Riley over carefully, "The


    Dean has given orders for you to assist with the whole review. Also ..." She gritted her teeth with great


    reluctance, "You are assisting Mr. Hardesty with the overhaul of the cardiology department for this


    period."


    After saying that, she threw a copy of the file at her and snorted coldly, "Riley, how on earth do you do


    that? Howe you get involved in everything!"


    Right? Riley sneered. Who cared if she was involved in everything? She''d rather not be involved in this


    shit anymore.


    She took the file in her hand, "Ms. Pouchain, do you have anything else to say?"


    Jeanne gave her a stern look, "The patient fromst time decided not to have the operation in the end.


    Are you satisfied?"


    Well? The one that was discussed at the meeting, "Patients are instinctive in avoiding harm. What do I


    have to be satisfied with? If you don''t have anything else, I''ll go to work."


    She really didn''t want to talk to Jeanne anymore.


    "Stop."


    Jeanne stood up and walked behind her with her heels clicking on the floor. She said sarcastically,


    "Riley, don''t think that just because you assist Mr. Hardesty in his work that you can take advantage of


    the opportunity to do something dishonorable with him!"


    Riley''s mouth curled into a slight disdainful smile and she turned around. She smiled with grace as she


    fought back the pain in her stomach, "How about you go to ..."


    "Humph! No more business for you here. Get out."


    It wasn''t that she hadn''t fought for it, but the Dean said she was new to the hospital and didn''t know the


    situation, whereas Riley had been here for a long time and was familiar with all aspects of it, and she


    would be just the rightplement to William.


    The Dean didn''t mean anything else, and he just wanted the hospital to make the cut.


    There was resentment in her heart, but there was nothing she could do to change it.


    Riley unfolded the file and read a few lines. Then her phone rang.


    She was marking the highlights with a pen, so she just opened her phone and answered it.


    "Dr. Watson, this is going to be a tough time for you. I was surprised by the Dean''s arrangement too,


    but ... I just got this notice, so ..."


    Riley smiled graciously, "Mr. Hardesty, you don''t have to exin. I know. And given your character, you


    probably wouldn''t abuse your authority to deploy me, a little doctor, to go anywhere."


    When he heard her say that, William finally let out the breath he was holding, "I was just worried that


    you might have misunderstood. After all ..." He paused, "after all, now that I''m pursuing you, there are


    times when I inevitably have to use some tricks."


    On the other end of the line, the pen in Riley''s hand slipped and drew a long ck sh across the file,


    "Mr. Hardesty, I told you that we ..."


    "You''ve got the file, right? Let''s start today with the medical equipment check."


    He changed the subject so quickly that she didn''t have a chance to say anything at all, "Okay."


    Checking the equipment couldn''t take up work time, so they had a quick meal and then went off on


    their lunch break to get busy in the cardiology department.


    In the cardiology ward, the middle-aged man, Dr. Smith, smiled as the two youngsters entered. He


    looked them up and down and found them pleasing to the eye.


    "I heard that Mr. Hardesty and Dr. Watson are lovers, right?" Dr. Smith looked at them, then asked with


    a smile.


    William, however, said, "The frequency is stable and there''s no problem over here. Let''s look over there


    again."


    Riley tried to exin, but she couldn''t interject when he interrupted, "Okay, and the controller is fine. It''s


    a three-year-old device, but it performs pretty well."


    Dr. Smith had nothing to do on his lunch break, so he simply watched the two of them go about their


    business, "Mr. Hardesty is young and talented, and Dr. Watson is a great doctor of the world. Together


    you''re a really strong team. Good. Very good."


    Riley was about to speak again, but William seemed to be physically and mentally engaged in testing


    the equipment, "The monitor''s picture tube is a bit old and needs recing."


    Riley nodded and made a note on a piece of paper.


    While she was taking notes, Dr. Smith kept talking to William about some irrelevant and seemingly


    professional questions. She tried to interrupt him several times but was unsessful.


    When exining a misunderstanding, it was important to pay attention to the timing. If the best


    opportunity to exin passed, it would seem that she was trying to hold back or hide from the lie.


    And with Dr. Smith''sment about a "strong team and perfect match", and with the patients in the


    ward catering to her, she was bound to lose William''s face if she insisted on rifying.


    Finally, the examination was over. The equipment only needed one small part reced.


    "Why didn''t you just say that earlier?"


    Riley asked William as she walked out the door. She didn''t have a chance to say it, but he did. He


    could have said it in the beginning, but he didn''t.


    William put his hands in his pockets and stopped walking. Then he turned to look at her. Sunlight


    nted through the hospital corridor and reflected on the side of his face. His clean smile was


    immacte.


    "What should I just say?"


    "Dr. Smith seems to have misunderstood our rtionship just now. We''re clearly not lovers. By


    acquiescing like that, you''re going to make the misunderstanding deeper."


    Riley decided to speak inly to save herself from this kind of embarrassment again.


    William smiled instead. His handsome face was soft against the light, "I was checking the equipment


    and didn''t hear what Dr. Smith said. Why don''t you tell me what Dr. Smith was muttering over there just


    now?"


    Oh.


    Riley''s heart was twisted into a knot. So Mr. Hardesty hadn''t taken it seriously? She was upset and


    even desperate to clear the air, but he didn''t give a damn about it.


    It made her look like she was being overly sensitive.


    "He didn''t say anything. Let''s move on. There''s still a lot of equipment to check."


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    With that, she crossed over to William one step faster.


    The man in white behind her looked at her back andughed silently.


    She was such a fool. How could he push her out in front of outsiders when he wanted them to be


    closer?


    As he thought about it, William took a step to follow her.


    During the lunch break, they checked a dozen devices. The good thing was that no one was gossiping


    about their rtionship anymore, which made Riley feel a lot more rxed.


    After checking the fifth floor, William looked at the time, "Twenty minutes to work. You''ll be sleepy in the


    afternoon if you don''t sleep at lunchtime. I''ll buy you a coffee."


    Riley was speechless.


    Before she could say anything, William continued, "You have a lot of patients this afternoon. You should


    have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself. It''s not really in the realm of me pursuing you, but simply a


    leader''s concern for the work of his subordinates. I want my doctors to be focused at work."


    Riley was dumbfounded. William had blown her mind. He was suddenly so voluntary, so generous, and


    so resourceful. How could she say no?


    William went to buy coffee, "A cappino, with milk and sugar. One Americano, with nothing."


    He came over with two cups of coffee, "The coffee shop at the hospital doesn''t have anything too fancy.


    Dr. Watson, just makes do with a cup."


    Riley took the coffee and smiled, "Thank you."


    "Then you should work hard to repay the care of your leader. "


    Every time he smiled, it was like a spring breeze, which was so warm andforting.


    She worked for a few hours in the afternoon, and the pain in her abdomen disappeared quite a bit after


    she drank the brown sugar tea. When she looked up, she found that it was actually almost time to


    leave work.


    Near the end of the day, Riley received a text message.


    It was sent by Euan!


    This was the second time he had texted her.


    "I''ll be waiting for you in the hospital underground garage. "


    He couldn''t have arrived already, could he? It seemed a long way from MBK to the hospital.


    She wanted to call back and exin, but with everyone in the office, she had to text back.


    "I''m not off work yet, and I have to change my clothes. I need some time. You''ll have to wait for me for


    a little while. "


    Somehow, she, who liked to keep things short, managed to ramble on and on with her exnation.


    Inside the car, Euan curled his lips in a faint smile. He tapped the screen with his long fingers, "Okay."


    After getting changed after work, Riley went out and bumped into someone. She looked up and saw


    the warm, smiling face of William.


    "Looks like I came at just the right time. Come on, let''s have dinner together."


    Riley squeezed the strap of her bag and her watery eyes curled apologetically, "I''m afraid I can''t today.


    I have to get back first."


    William''s pretty eyebrows furrowed, "So, I''m stillte, Dr. Watson, you already have a date."


    "Sorry, let''s make another date some other time." She didn''t know how many times she''d used this


    stalling tactic.


    She didn''t know whether he was forgiving or really believed her, he didn''t expose her every time and


    took all the me on himself, "It''s okay, I didn''t tell you in advance. In that case, let''s go down together.


    I''ll be home from work too."


    The two of them walked to the lift together while the nurses next to them all covered their mouths and


    down from above to pick her up from work.


    When they got on the lift, William pressed the B2 car park. Riley thought he was going to drive outside.


    Her hand was outstretched, but she pulled it back when she saw the lighted button.


    "You''re going to B2 too."


    His tone was pleasant.


    Riley nodded stiffly, "Well, I''m ... driving too."


    She froze. She had actually lied earlier. It wasn''t really a bad idea for her to just say that Euan was


    waiting for her, but subconsciously, she just didn''t want to hurt him.


    William''s eyes fell on her right hand, "Your right hand, let me see it."


    Riley hurriedly covered her right hand with her left and ducked away like she had been electrocuted,


    "What for?"


    "Haha." Williamughed at such a big reaction from her, "I just wanted to see the old injury on your


    hand. You may not say why, but the injury does exist. You can''t deny that. Let me see."


    Riley''s mouth twitched and the corners of her mouth went sour, "Okay."


    It was so many years ago that the trauma had long since healed, it was a wonder he could see it.


    William took her right hand and carefully identified the lines on it. It was true that there were no marks


    on the surface, but when he ran his fingers over it, he felt something unusual inside. It was a very


    subtle difference, "At the time, it must have hurt a lot?"


    Riley nodded, "Yeah."


    It was painful. Her whole hand was on the verge of being ruined. Could it not hurt?


    "Ding," The lift doors opened at B2.


    Euan looked up from inside the Rolls Royce and saw the two inside the lift at once!


    William took Riley''s hand while Riley, shy and flirtatious, bowed her head and wasmunicating


    something to him.


    A few dozen meters away, Euan''s gaze pierced the lift!


    ¡®Riley, what more do you want!¡¯


    Stepping off the lift, Riley drew back her hand, "Mr. Hardesty, you''d better not ask. I don''t want to bring


    it up again."


    "I ..."


    William only uttered the first word, and Riley suddenly stopped. William looked up-


    Euan, handsome and austere in his ck suit, was sticking one hand in his pocket. He was tall and


    was standing in front of the car. And his dark and gloomy eyes were locked on Riley!

    Chapter 95 We Have to Tangle Each Other


    When their sights met, the air almost burnt up. The sound of incineration could be heard. The air


    stayed stagnant.


    Euan¡¯s body was cold. William showed a sense of gentleness. Riley stayed between them, she smiled


    awkwardly at the moment.


    ¡°Euan,¡±


    In the silent and serious space, Riley called his name. Then, she gave a signal to William and walked


    towards him.


    Euan looked at William with no expression, he stretched out his hand to open the door of the co-driver


    seat. Riley lowered her head and entered the car. When Euan stood up, he looked at William again, a


    sense of fire was triggered between the two men.


    William kept smiling, he did not feel guilty at all.


    But he noticed that Euan had treated Riley differently.


    So, Dr. Hardesty would try his best too.


    He nodded to her and gave a signal to her to be careful all the way. Euan did not show any expression


    on his cold face.


    After getting up the car, he started the engine. He moved his steering and left the carpark.


    William watched the luxurious car leaving while he stood still and frowned.


    Just then, William¡¯s phone rang.


    William frowned when he saw the iing call and picked up the call.


    ¡°William, are you busy recently? I have a business trip to China, if you have free time, we can have a


    meal together.¡±


    ¡°I am very busy recently. If you want to have a meal with me, wait for me to go home first.¡±


    ¡°Go home? You¡¯re in China now, if I wait for you to go home, am I going to starve? You go to China and


    even be a doctor¡­¡±


    ¡°Dad, you have given me permission. So, it is unnecessary to repeat again right?¡±


    ¡°Alright, but you¡¯re not young anymore, it¡¯s time to find a girlfriend, right? You can¡¯t procrastinate this


    matter.¡±


    Girlfriend?


    William raised his head and looked out of the window, ¡°On the way, I will have a girlfriend soon. If


    everything is going smoothly, you will see her soon.¡±


    ¡°Really? That¡¯s great, quickly find a girlfriend, get married and give birth to a baby. She should be a


    simple and virginal woman.¡±


    They ended the casual call. William had a headache.


    His parent had a simple wish. They hoped that his future wife must be simple, virginal and had a in


    background.


    Sorry, he had to disobey his parent.


    Euan drove his Rolls-Royce speedily with anger. After keeping silent for a while, Euan sneered coldly,


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to exin to me the matter that happened just now?¡±


    ¡°What happened just now? I just get in the elevator with my colleague, what should I exin? Should I


    inform you what did I eat for the whole day?¡±


    Euan had a strong prejudice against William, she should not mention William at all.


    Euan held the steering with his long fingers, his side face revealed a sense of coldness. The streemp


    from both sides of the road reflected on him, it made his side face flickering and looked gorgeous.


    ¡°That¡¯s great. Say it out.¡±


    He wanted her to report everything?


    When the traffic light turned green, the car stopped abruptly. He braked all of a sudden, Riley moved


    forward due to inertia. Then, she bounced backwards, her back banged on the chair.


    ¡°There are too many trivial things that happened, it will be a long story.¡±


    ¡°I have time now, I am avable to listen to your words no matter how long you want to say.¡±


    Euan rested his fingers on the steering, the number on the traffic red light was counting down. Euan


    seemed to look at something deeply. She did not know what did he mean.


    If he wanted to listen, she would tell him, ¡°I have my breakfast with you, then you should know what


    have we eaten¡­¡±


    ¡°Why do you tangle with him?¡± Euan frowned and interrupted her words. He allowed her to say then


    she really did it! She was upsetting him.


    Riley bit her lips, ¡°I do not tangle with him, we are just colleague as what you have seen.¡±


    What he had seen was not that simple!


    The traffic light turned green after the red light, Euan did not want to move the car. In two seconds, the


    cars behind them started to beep the horn, ¡°Whoever in front, move your car!¡±


    Euan held the steering carelessly, ¡°Tell me the truth.¡±


    If she did not exin it clearly, he would not drive the car and let the cars behind wait for them!


    Riley looked at the queue behind, ¡°Euan, are you crazy? Drive it, it is green light now, you¡¯re blocking


    the traffic.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s you who spoil my mood to drive. If my mood is bad, I will not only block the traffic, I will cause a car


    ident to happen.¡±


    Riley was furious, the green light will stop counting down soon. The people behind started to scold.


    ¡°He wanted to invite me for a meal but I received your message, so I rejected his invitation. After that,


    we got in the elevator and met you downstairs! That¡¯s all! Are you satisfied now?!¡±


    She exined everything at one shot angrily without gasping.


    Euan did not speak, he drove his car steadily. His car passed by the junction. Her chest moved up and


    down greatly when she was in anger. When she was upset, she bulged her cheeks and made her face


    circle, she looked so adorable.


    ¡°So, you mean if I don¡¯t contact you, you will attend his invitation to go for dinner together?¡±


    Damn, why he asked some more?!


    ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡±


    She stopped him from asking angrily.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Great, ¡°Don¡¯t know? Then you mean you will probably go?¡±


    ¡°Hey, where are you going? I want to go home!¡±


    Euan turned the steering and changed the direction.


    ¡°You¡¯re a bit over recently, I have to give you some reminders.¡±


    ¡ª¡ª


    At the YJ Vi, the lights were bright. There was a neon light shining on the fence in the garden. She


    never saw it before. Lydia liked this kind of colourful effect, it must be done by her.


    She really treated herself to be the hostess.


    ¡°Euan, you bring me here, won¡¯t you be afraid that I will fight with Ms. Saunders?¡± Riley got down the


    car, she stood in front of the vi with her slim silhouette. She could see luxurious stuff once she raised


    her head.


    After Lydia lived in this house, she changed it entirely, she was so awesome!


    Euan shut the door of the car. He stood beside her at a distance of approximately 10 cm with his tall


    body. He showed a sense of disdain with his deep eyes gradually, ¡°I am afraid that you have not yet


    fought but you surrender.¡±


    It was a tease. In fact, this tease was aimed to tell Riley that she should stay steadily and calmly and


    did not escape foolishly.


    Riley surrounded her chest with her arms, her sights were faint like a star that lost its shine. She tried


    hard to hold her self-esteem, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about me!¡±


    ¡°Euan! You¡¯re back!¡±


    Lydia saw Euan driving the car in, she ran out to wee him immediately. After she saw Euan, she


    did not care about the existence of Riley, she directly stretched her hand to hold his arm.


    She smiled gently and blinked her flirting eyes, ¡°Why don¡¯t you inform me early? You have not yet


    eaten your meal, right? The chef has cooked your favourite dish but I am not sure whether you will


    Riley looked at them to behave intimately like an outsider. Her brow connected to her heart and shook


    slightly.


    To be honest, Lydia was a perfect lover. She was pretty, she looked like a butterfly when she came out.


    She was gentle, she would show her gentlest side to him. She was obedient, man always liked this


    kind of woman.


    So, if they got together, Euan would live blissfully.


    Euan did not speak, he observed her response with the corner of his eyes. She showed an indifferent


    expression at the moment.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get in. Don¡¯t be hurry, you¡¯re a pregnant woman.¡±


    He did not provide a lot of warmth for her but he showed consideration for her.


    They were indeed made for each other.


    He did not like her always be fierce and unweing.


    They walked in front, she followed them and slowed down her steps.


    ¡°Euan, you eat this first. It has been stewed for a long time, the wolfberry is split into smaller part.¡±


    Lydia filled the bone soup for him as if there was no one else present. The soup was delicious, the


    smell was lingering. Under such condition, the handsome man enjoyed her service and raised his brow.


    She was envy of the blissful scene.


    ¡°I am full, both of you can carry on,¡± she put down the chopstick and left.


    ¡°Sit down,¡±


    The man opposite her did not raise his head. The cold words stroke her self-esteem heavily like a


    sharp knife. She seemed to be pped by Euan in front of Lydia that home-wrecker.


    Anika Gill instructed him seriously via the phone. Euan had been tortured and tangled for many days.


    Lydia used the child in her womb as an excuse to force him to treat her intimately and lovely.


    She cracked her heart but she would not behave uncontrobly anymore.


    Riley remained a standing posture. She looked at Lydia¡¯s satisfied expression and smiled carelessly,


    ¡°Please enjoy your meal, I will not disturb you. Wish you a happy meal.¡±


    Although Riley broke her heart, she would not have hope anymore. Love and hatred were unable to be


    concealed. Euan did not love her, why she wanted to stay here and made herself embarrass?


    Euan put down the chopstick heavily on the chopstick te, ¡°What do you want to do? Come back.¡±


    Lydia smiled gently, she concealed hercency and held Euan¡¯s arm in front of her chest, ¡°Euan,


    she has said it that way. Why do we want to stay her here? You will have indigestion if you look at her


    gloomy face, right? Come, please try this dish, I watch them cooking this dish by myself. I will cook it


    for you in the future, ok?¡±


    She spoke with a gentle and sweet voice and serviced him intimately.


    He portrayed his cold and harsh indifference, he objected without concerning her feeling.


    Every man would make the smart decision if there was no love.


    Lydia smiled slightly when she saw Riley leaving.


    ¡°Bang!¡± The door of the corner room was shut heavily.


    Lydia took the food to feed him, ¡°Euan, taste it.¡±


    Euan sneered at her impatiently, ¡°Put it down.¡±


    Lydia was dumbfounded, he treated her well just now. Why he changed his attitude after she walked


    away?


    Euan pushed away the chair violently. He was too powerful and the chair fell onto the floor with a loud


    sound. Lydia was so shocked that she did not dare to breathe.


    Euan was furious, he walked speedily to the study room upstairs.


    Lydia put down the spoon depressingly. Her eyes were burning red.


    The matter that happened between Euan and Riley was not because they were throwing tantrum. In


    fact, they seemed to p her heavily.


    Lydia bit her lips and went upstairs.


    ¡°Euan¡­¡± she stood at the door of the study room and shut the door, ¡°I have a question to ask you¡­¡±


    Euan showed no expression, no one knew that why was he showing gloomy sights.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Lydia stopped breathing, she had a sexy body shape. She looked extremely perfect.


    ¡°If there is no child in my womb, you¡­will not even take a nce at me, is it?¡±

 Chapter 96 Can We Reason With Something Such As Love?

    Chapter 96 Can We Reason With Something Such As Love?


    With thest trace of hope on her mind, Lydia was waiting for his reply.


    Euan nced at her coldly and without emotion. His face was devoid of any expression.


    However, the reluctance and detachment was obvious as shown by his chilly eyes.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    His reply was short and clipped, and his determination even caused her to have a drastic change of


    expression.


    Was he really not going to ask her to stay except for their child?


    Lydia¡¯s eyes became watery and they broke free, washing her cheeks. Her tender face was now


    glowing with red because of feeling heartbroken as she gnashed her teeth, ¡°Do you mean that you are


    staying by my side because you care about this child?¡±


    Lydia shut her eyes and allowed her tears to soak her delicate face. Her face was losing its luster and


    her eye lines were bing blotched.


    Euan didn¡¯t even frown but he also wasn¡¯t in a hurry to respond. Only when Lydia opened her eyes


    again he started to ask, ¡°Do you think that I care so much about this child?¡±


    Euan¡¯s tone was mechanical which made him sound like he wasn¡¯t talking to a woman who was


    bearing his own child.


    Lydia felt her back bing tense as her soft hands balled into fists, ¡°Euan¡­ What do you mean?¡±


    Euan tossed the document in his hands onto the floor, which caused Lydia to slip a little.


    ¡°What do I mean? Do you think I wouldn¡¯t learn of that with how much time we have spent together?¡±


    The man¡¯s cold and distant features brought out his vicious conviction as he studied her expression.


    His depthless gaze seemed to be boring a hole through this woman¡¯s heart.


    Lydia suddenly ramped up her crying and her shoulders were jerking up and down wildly following her


    wails and sobs, ¡°Euan, what do you mean? Are you suspecting that this child does not belong to you?¡±


    Euan watched her cry and his brows couldn¡¯t help forming creases on his forehead.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you even more clean than me on that? Do you even need to ask me?¡± Was his cold reply.


    Lydia¡¯s wailing was even more violent, ¡°Euan, how can you say that? How can you suspect me? This


    child is definitely your child, and I always wanted to tell you about that night when you were drunk, you


    thought that I was Riley. When we were doing it, you kept calling her name.¡±


    Euan¡¯s brows furrowed together all of a sudden!


    ¡°Euan¡­ How can I bring myself to reveal such things? You were on top of me, yet you were calling her


    name! However, this child is really yours. That night, you had done it a lot of times, and then¡­¡±


    Euan clenched his fists, ¡°And then what?¡±


    Veins were bulging on his back!


    ¡°Then¡­ I couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and fainted. When I awoke, you were still sleeping, and I had left


    the hotel urgently because of a job. You¡­ Don¡¯t you remember a single thing?¡±


    Getting drunken? Hotel? Done it multiple times?


    Why did Euan never have any memories of that? He only recalled Lydia called him a lot of times to ask


    for his apaniment, but he never recalled himself drinking like crazy. How could he get drunk if he


    didn¡¯t drink?


    ¡°Euan, even if¡­ even if this child never existed, I am still the one¡­ who has saved your life five years


    ago. How can you treat me like this?¡±


    She had the nerve to bring up something from five years ago. She was courting death!


    ¡°Lydia! Do you know what you are talking about now?¡± Euan suddenly howled in a low and menacing


    one.


    Five years ago, he was met with an ident in America, and this matter was covered from the


    knowledge of the public. Even the George family never learnt of this.


    Coincidentally, Lydia who were then still not famous was having a vacation in America, and she


    happened to save his life and sent him to the hospital. After being in aatose state for three days


    and three nights, he finally woke up to the sight of Lydia sitting in front of his bed and with tears in her


    eyes.


    ¡°Of course I know what I am talking about! Euan, from the cold treatment you have always been


    directing towards me, I can see clearly that you are just using me to make Riley angry. I know all of


    that, yet I am willing to be your tool. That is because I really love you!¡±


    Her eye lines werepletely blurred by her tears, and the ck blotch was spreading on her pretty


    face.


    ¡°In the past five years, whenever you needed me, I would always appear. Whenever you were angry,


    happy or when you needed to do it, I never had anyin. Euan, why aren¡¯t you choosing me in the


    end?¡±


    Euan¡¯s brows were so tightly knitted together that deep wrinkles were visible on his forehead.


    He was indebted to Lydia, therefore he had invested in her and made her pathway clear so that she


    could be the most sought after actress in the entertainment industry today.


    However, Euan wasn¡¯t someone who would start having feelings for a woman just because of


    something like this.


    After that incident, he never initiated any contact with her, and he would only contact her if it was some


    matters regarding work. He would simply acknowledge her gratitude but never responding.


    He always turned a blind eye to her ttery and invitation.


    If he was so touched to the point that he even wanted to marry her into the family just because she had


    apanied him in front of the hospital bed for a few days, he would be aughing stock in the


    eyes of others!


    However, it seemed that Lydia couldn¡¯t move on from it, and she was even using this as a bargaining


    chip to make him feel bad.


    Haha!


    ¡°Do you really think that by saving me, you earned the right to marry me and be the young miss of


    the George family?¡± He asked this very calmly despite knowing that Lydia had been very thoughtful and


    faithful to him during thest five years. Her deeds could never be erased.


    Lydia continued to let her tears fall as she staggered to his front and squatted down by his legs. She


    hugged his legs lightly and replied, ¡°Isn¡¯t that enough? I have saved you and apanied you for


    three days and three nights. I have loved you for five years. What about her? What has she ever done


    for you?¡±


    What had she ever done for him?


    At the moment they first met, he knew he had fallen for her.


    Could he reason with something such as love?


    ¡°I don¡¯t love you.¡±


    His voice was low. In the face of Lydia¡¯s love, he could only provide this answer. Nothing could change


    the fact that he had no feelings for her.


    Lydia wiped off some of her tears as she took a good look at his face, ¡°You want to choose someone


    who doesn¡¯t love you instead of me, who loves you very much? You want to choose a woman who is


    like a slut?¡±


    With a loud pping sound, Euannded a ferocious p on her cheeks, ¡°Who gives you the nerve to


    say that?¡±


    Lydia clutched her face andughed bitterly, ¡°Euan, you are just as pitiful as me. I love you, but you


    don¡¯t love me. You love her, but she doesn¡¯t love you. I can¡¯t have you, and you also can¡¯t have her.¡±


    As she continued to ramble on, she was chuckling and sobbing at the same time, ¡°Euan, it has been


    five years. The best part of my life has been with you, yet you are really going to do me like this? If you


    are really that heartless, I can even abort this child and will never have anything to do with you


    anymore.¡±


    Lydia climbed up from the floor and left the study room without looking back.


    Euan rubbed his temples with an agonized expression on his face. He continued to do that until the


    door of the study was shut.


    Damn it!


    If love was something that could be measured using kindness, then one hundred Riley wouldn¡¯t even


    hold a candle to a single Lydia.


    However, he loved Riley, and it was this single condition that rendered Lydia unable to do anything


    else.


    Euan wasn¡¯t someoneplete coldhearted. In the face of Lydia, he still had a tinge of pitifulness for


    her.


    She even mentioned that incident from five years ago without caring for her life, which meant she was


    already at wit¡¯s end.


    In the bedroom, Lydia carefully cleaned all traces of tears and dirt on her face while she took her


    phone, ¡°Jeanne, I have done what you have told me. I don¡¯t know whether it would work though, since


    this matter from five years ago is always his weak spot. If I don¡¯t seed today, I am afraid I will be


    shunned from the George family forever. I am really scared¡­¡±


    ¡°What are you afraid of? You won¡¯t go wrong doing what I have told you. Euan and the party have


    allowed you to throw your tantrum, which means that they are notpletely oblivious and


    coldhearted. You have pointed out the fact that you have saved his life and together with your child, do


    you think he could remain unfazed? You just need to wait for him toe to find you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Jeanne! You are really resourceful. Luckily I told you about what happened five years ago.¡±


    ¡°But, Lydia, why is he hiding this incident from five years ago? His family doesn¡¯t know about this too,


    right?¡±


    ¡°I am not sure about the reason, but at that time he was really seriously injured. He almost died in the


    operation theater, seeing that his heart is the one getting affected¡­¡±


    ¡°Alright then, you don¡¯t need to dig further. Remember, you can only mention this once, and no more. In


    the future, don¡¯t ever bring this up again while you continue to be kind to him and move him to tears.


    When he can¡¯t leave your side anymore, as long as you can capture for yourself the prestige of the title


    of being the youngdy of the George family, you will be set for life. Even if you might get divorced in


    the future, your value will skyrocket. Do you get it?¡±


    At this moment, there was a light knocking on the door!


    ¡°Jeanne, he¡¯s here! Later!¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Lydia immediately shifted her expression to one of sadness. She slowly


    opened the door, ¡°Euan¡­¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± It was a calm response.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t joke with something important like your child.¡±


    Lydia instantly looked jubnt, ¡°Yes, I will listen to you, Euan. Euan, this bed is really big, and I only


    need one half of it. Won¡¯t you sleep here? I won¡¯t disturb you¡­¡±


    Her gaze was one of longing as she tried to make him stay.


    He nced at the huge bed and thought of the past. Where Lydia was sleeping now used to belong to


    Riley. There were a few medical books on the shelf, and they were now reced with Lydia¡¯s photos.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    At the same time, in the study room, Riley continued to fumble around with the printer. Damn it, how did


    this unfathomable printer work?


    ¡°Sophia, where¡¯s the young master?¡±


    This information is important, so she wanted to print it out for note-taking purposes. Despite that, Euan


    was nowhere to be seen.


    Sophia bit her lips, ¡°The young master¡­ has gone to the bedroom on the second floor.¡±


    Riley looked in the direction of the bedroom on the second floor, and the portable disk in her hand was


    almost snapped in half by her.


    She took in a deep breath and nodded, ¡°I see.¡±


    She was not wrong. A man like Euan would still fall for someone like Lydia.


    The next day, after Riley had woken up, she saw Euaning down from the second floor. He was


    wearing a beige casual pants and a grey buttoned-up shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He


    was exuding a noble aura.


    She was standing in front of the stairs, so naturally she had to look up at him. This man¡¯s appearance


    was like a huge wave crashing onto him, sweeping over her tender heart.


    He was too impressive and tasteful, and she couldn¡¯t avert her gaze.


    She hastily gave way.


    ¡°Young master, your breakfast is ready. Do you want to enjoy it now?¡±


    The corner of his eyes swept over Riley as he answered, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Miss Saunders toe down.¡±


    ¡°Yes, young master.¡±


    Riley carried her bag looking like she wanted to go out, ¡°Sophia, I am not eating at home today.¡±


    ¡°It is the weekends. Why are you in a hurry to go somewhere? What are you doingter?¡±


    The weekends?


    She forgot!


    ¡°Overtime work.¡±


    ¡°Reject it. From now on, reject every overtime work that urs during weekends.¡±


    Riley stopped and turned towards him, ¡°This is my own work.¡±


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ¡°What is the purpose of work? Don¡¯t tell me you just want to save lives. Aren¡¯t you working just to earn


    money? By marrying into the George family, I don¡¯t need you to unt yourself like that just to earn a


    little money.¡±


    unting herself?


    Euan was obviously still angered by the fact that she was seen together with William yesterday!


    ¡°Mr. George, you are going to be someone¡¯s husband very soon. Why are you still forcing your values


    on me?¡±


    He strode past a huge vast and stood in front of her. With his body bent, he frowned, ¡°I have told you


    many times, the name on my marriage certificate can only be you.¡±


    This sounded like a huge p across her face. Her?


    He just got off Lydia¡¯s body, and he was nning to go into bed with her?


    ¡°If the marriage does not base on love, this marriage certificate means nothing to me.¡±


    ¡°How can you be so sure that love isn¡¯t the reason?¡±


    Was love the reason? Why didn¡¯t she realize then?


    ¡°How are you going to deal with that one upstairs? Mr. George, are you going to just suddenly deny


    everything that happened after having fun with her whole night?¡±

    Chapter 97 Apanying To Sleep Is Very Sessful


    She quietly looked into his eyes, and his deep, inscrutable eyes were somewhat weary at the moment.


    She could see that Euan did not like to deal with this crap, or maybe he did not like to be caught


    between the two to make a choice.


    So he probably wouldn¡¯t have to deal with this kind of trouble if she left.


    Euan looked down at her, "I''ll take care of this. You don''t have to rush to know the answer. Now is not


    the time."


    "And when, may I ask you, is the time? When Lydia gives birth to your child and you walk straight to the


    wedding hall with the newborn in your arms? Is that the time?"


    It hurt!


    She only slightly imagined in her mind that someday in the future they were going to walk down the


    aisle together, exchange wedding rings, and hold a baby that belonged to them ...


    Just the thought of it made Riley''s heart ache so much that she couldn''t breathe.


    Euan frowned, "No. Anyway, you should not be in a hurry right now. I''ll take care of it."


    Euan was strange today. He spoke with such a low posture, almost as if he was discussing something


    with her, which made Riley feel even more frantic inside. What the hell did he mean?


    She was afraid she had made a fool of herself.


    She was also afraid that she would miss him.


    "Euan ... Lydia is pregnant with your child. She is the daughter-inw your mother has recognized. No


    ... what matters is the weight she carries in your heart. In view of this, you should marry her. Your child


    cannot be without a father, and she needs you."


    What she feared more was that she would spend her youth in vain on him again, three years, thirty


    years ...


    So, "For the good of all three of us, why don''t we just get a divorce?"


    She spoke softly but firmly, with a calm analysis of objective facts.


    "Just give up. I will not divorce!"


    Euan finished the sentence coldly. Before he got angry and tried to strangle her, she lifted her long legs


    and left the foyer.


    "Come back! You don''t go to the hospital today!"


    Fine, then she didn¡¯t go.


    He wouldn''t let her go to the hospital, but he took a phone call after breakfast and left.


    As soon as Euan left, the mood in the house changed.


    Riley sat in the living room on therge sofa reading a medical book while Lydia walked towards her,


    holding a fashion magazine in her hand.


    "What''s the use of studying at home if you''re not as skilled as others? Why don''t you just stop being a


    doctor? You''ll get a nice pension after you divorce Euan anyway, which is enough for you to spend for


    the rest of your life. Why do you need to go to the hospital and get others killed!"


    Lydia crossed her legs and said in a sarcastic tone.


    Riley did not even look at her, "Lydia, before you officially be the George family''s daughter-inw,


    calm down. I''m afraid if you go too far, Euan will kick you to death."


    "Oh, thank you so much for your concern! Not coincidentally, Euan even told me in bedst night that I


    should not feel restrained here in the future and just make it my own home. How do you think I should


    interpret ¡®my own home¡¯ ...?"


    Riley turned a deaf ear to Lydia''s wanton bragging, "He''s probably reminding you not to paint your face


    like that when you''re at home!"


    "You! Oh, you''re jealous, aren''t you? Even if I don''t wear makeup, I still look better than you!"


    Riley looked at herzily, "Of course. You were born with foxy looks. I''m no match for you."


    Lydia knew she was no match for her when it came to arguing. So she quickly flipped through the


    magazine and found a page where a European star was advertising thetest luxury product.


    "Riley, how about this ne? The Jamp;K anniversary model. There are only ten sets in the world.


    Priced but not marketable. But Euan has already pre-ordered. On what asion, do you think, would


    he give it to me?"


    Riley saw the jewelry from the corner of her eye. This was a masterpiece, which cost a lot of money


    and sold for a staggering price.


    Euan had always spent a lot of money on gifts for Lydia. She was used to it.


    She just couldn''t get rid of the pain in her heart.


    "Congrattions. Looks like your sleeping with himst night was a sess!"


    "Oh, stop making ast desperate stand. Riley, I''ve got Euan''s mother''s approval and even more


    Euan''s favor. You''ll be out of the George family sooner orter!"


    Damn it!


    Riley was furious. She was going to leave the George family, but when Lydia said that, she was so


    angry that she couldn''t stand it!


    Even if she left, she wouldn''t leave as a castaway!


    At that moment, Riley''s phone rang.


    "Honey, you''re not going to spend the weekend at home, are you? Come out, I''ve got something fun


    here. I promise you''ll like it!"


    "Something fun? No way. Last time I almost ..." ncing at Lydia, she didn''t say any more, "What are


    you up to this time?"


    "Gee, don''t ask too many questions. Just dress simply and decently. You''d better bring a change of


    underwear with you. Let''s stay here tonight."


    "What ce?"


    "Here''s the address! Hurry up ande over!"


    Hanging up the phone, Riley got up and went to change her clothes.


    "Where are you going to y again?"


    Riley sneered, "You''re pregnant. You want to join me? Sorry, you''re not wee."


    Changing into simple, decent early summer pants and a shirt, Riley brought another change of clothes.


    It was so nice that she could note back tonight!


    Sophia walked her out the door, "Mrs. George, you''re in such a good mood. You must be going


    somewhere really fun?"


    She said casually, "HG Manor, a themed leisure center. I won''t be back tonight."


    HG Manor.


    "You''re fast! Well ... you look good in that outfit, and it is refreshing to look at. Let''s go!"


    Sarah took Riley''s hand and headed inside. The manor was built with the feel of a garden in the South


    of Chine, with winding paths, lush foliage, running water, and chirping birds.


    "You really know how to find ces to y."


    "I didn''t really find it this time!"


    "Not you? Then who is it?"


    The two of them happened to go around the flower paths and trees, and in front of them was a new


    world with a wide view. A man was sitting under the shadow of a tree, with his back to them, propping


    up his fishing rod and fishing.


    "Here, he''s the one who found it!"


    He?


    Riley looked closely at the man''s back. The man was wearing a gray t-shirt, with a straight back and a


    proper sitting posture, which seemed familiar. But ...


    Not likely!


    "Oh, there''s a fish on the line!"


    The man suddenly picked up the fishing rod. A redfish was hanging on the hook, and it was jumping


    and struggling.


    It was really him!


    "Mr. Hardesty, what are you doing here?"


    William turned around and looked at her with a gentle smile, "I was wondering how the fish had


    surrendered to take the bait. It turns out it saw you." There was sincerity in his joke, "It''s a rare break.


    Wouldn''t it be nice toe out for a walk?"


    Riley got it in a second. Sarah couldn''t wait to match-make her and William. They had actually hooked


    up to this extent.


    "Riley, don''t stand still. The fishing rod is ready. Come on,e on, sit here. Let''s fish. The fish you


    catchter will be given to the chef. It must be so unusual to eat fish you''ve caught yourself."


    Riley was pushed to William''s side by Sarah. There was only one bench and the two sat side by side.


    Intentionally or unintentionally, the warmth on each other''s skin would transfer to each other.


    The air was a little hot in the early summer when the temperature was rising. The atmosphere was


    really a bit awkward.


    Sarah beamed with pleasure, "You two just stay here and fish. I''ll go round there. I''ll be waiting for your


    fruit in the evening!"


    Sarah went straight away!


    William held the fishing rod in his hand, revealing his long, thin but strong and powerful arm. Without a


    white coat and shirt, the clean skin on his arms was very nice.


    Probably because of being a doctor, his skin was very white, but not the kind of effeminate sickly white.


    He looked healthy andfortable.


    "Sorry, I''m not very good at wooing girls ... I hope you''ll enjoy your trip today." William was frank. He


    pursued her straightforwardly, without being evasive or obtrusive.


    Riley also tried not to be embarrassed, "Mr. Hardesty, I''m a married woman. It''s not really appropriate


    for you to do that."


    William''s eyes were clear and his smile was clean and pure, "I know. I am prepared to be used of


    being the other man. If I get you, I don''t have to pay attention to gossip. It is what I should bear, and it


    is none of your business."


    Riley was speechless with his words!


    He looked at her silently and quietly, carefully sketching her eyebrows in his mind, "You are very kind.


    Beware that I will take advantage of your kindness."


    Riley was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"


    "Obviously, your kindness will make you intolerant of rejection when faced with a suitor. I am patient


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    and will take my time waiting for the fish to take the bait. Only, to catch you, the mermaid, I''ll have to


    change the bait."


    William looked at her with warm eyes and smiled, "Do you want to know what it is?"


    "Uh ... this ..."


    He carefully observed the fluctuation of the fishing line and her reflection in the water. Looking at her


    reflection, his heart softened, "My bait is absolute tolerance and readypanionship."


    Riley felt her face burning. Where did William learn this ... flirting technique! It was impressive!


    "Your tenderness is used in the wrong ce. It is not for me. Get someone else. Maybe Ms. Pouchain


    would like it." Riley switched topics hastily.


    With the sudden happiness and the strange warmth, she was touched but not blessed.


    Instead of dwelling on the subject, he suddenly and joyfully bragged to her about his fruits, "Dr. Watson,


    my fish has taken the bait again."


    Sure enough, this time it was a fat fish of seven or eight centimeters in length. He skillfully took the fish


    down and put it into the bucket, which was already swimming with five big fish.


    She lifted up the fishing rod but found no fish.


    What was even more annoying was that her bait was eaten up!


    At YJ Vi.


    Euan rushed home from work and looked around to find Riley was not there.


    Thinking he was looking for Lydia, the maid reported, "Ms. Saunders is sleeping on the second floor."


    Euan didn''t care what she was doing. He changed his shoes and asked, "Where is Mrs. George?"


    Didn''t he tell her to stay at home!


    Sophia came over and took the briefcase from his hand, "Mr. George, Mrs. George took a call and left.


    She said she was going to HG Manor."


    HG Manor?


    "When did she go there? When will she be back?" Euan''s brow began to furrow.


    "Well ... she''s been gone for two or three hours and said she wouldn''t be back for the night."


    Damn it! She was going to stay out all night again, and how dare she not tell him!


    Euan leaned over and put the shoes he took off on again.


    "Mr. George, Ms. Saunders asked you to ..."


    "I have something to do, and I will note back tonight. You tell her when she wakes up."


    "Yes, Mr. George!"


    In a rage, Euan grabbed the car keys and mmed the door.

 Chapter 98 How Does It Feel to be Sitting On My Thigh?

    Chapter 98 How Does It Feel to be Sitting On My Thigh?


    They returned to the manor.


    ¡°It¡¯s true that when a man and a womanbine their strength, we won¡¯t feel as tired. It seems that


    you have a good haul this time, Mr. Hardesty. I don¡¯t think we can finish so many fish here!¡±


    William produced a gentle smile and replied with a crisp and sound voice, ¡°If you cannot finish all of


    them, you can put them back. Letting the fishes escape danger is a good deed on your part.¡±


    ¡°What kind of logic is that? If you really want all fishes to live freely and survive without facing any


    danger, you shouldn¡¯t go fishing on them in the first ce, no?¡± Riley looked at more than a dozen


    fishes in the bucket and had to admit that he was really a good fishing expert.


    Fishing? Expert?


    Why did her mind wander to a line from the Little Mermaid?


    William shed another one of his smiles again, ¡°If one were to immerse oneself in a safe and


    struggles and obstacles, happiness would feel cheap and hollow. You have to remind someone what it


    means to be happy from time to time.¡±


    What he said sounded reasonable and she couldn¡¯t find any words as a response. However, why did


    she have a feeling that he was hinting at something?


    If one would cease to feel the true essence of happiness while they were always happy, would


    someone forget about their unfortunate circumstances if he or she were to be plunged into such a state


    for a long time? Would one get used to being unfortunate in life?


    She felt somewhat annoyed. Why did she have to apply that logic on herself?


    When Sarah saw the two of them engaging in such vested conversation, she blinked yfully, ¡°Hey, it


    seems that you two are having a great time talking to each other! Should I find a ce to hide?¡± Then,


    she giggled.


    Riley grabbed her hand abruptly and threatened her in a low voice, ¡°You rascal, aren¡¯t you getting too


    full of yourself after being a go-between for some time?¡±


    Sarah grinned widely without any shame, ¡°It seems that you are really taking your undeserved gain for


    granted! Hmph!¡±


    Damn it, she didn¡¯t expect that she would be seen through.


    To tell the truth, whenever she was with William, Riley would feel very rxed. He was very gentle, and


    they would never have the chance to fight or have any conflict. He was good at resolve awkward


    moments, and he was attentive to details¡­ He was really the epitome of a model boyfriend.


    ¡°But, now I¡­¡±


    ¡°To hell with that! You won¡¯t meet a good man very often, and besides, he¡¯s not just merely good in the


    sense of the word! Just give up on Euan, that big shark, and embrace your dolphin!¡±


    Her analogy hit the mark in terms of their images. Euan was a ruthless and emotionless shark while


    William was a gentle dolphin.


    ¡°Are you thirsty? Drink some water.¡± William handed a uncorked mineral water bottle to her.


    ¡°Both of you, how do you n to eat this fish? Steam it? Braise it? Or cook it? With their size¡­ what is


    the best method to process them?¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    Riley spat out the water she had just poured into her mouth!


    Sarah and William turned to look at Riley at the same time, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    ¡°Cough cough cough!¡± Her throat caught some of that water as she continued to clutch her chest while


    coughing, ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­ I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Eating some fish? Damn, she suddenly recalled a scene from when she was eating fish with Euan. Her


    brain was now full of Euan¡¯s devilish face.


    William patted her back, ¡°I think you should use a ss to drink water. It¡¯s always easy to choke


    yourself on water if you drink from a bottle.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not it, don¡¯t mind me.¡±


    Sarah swayed her gaze back and forth between the two of them and thought that they were really a


    match made in heaven! If they got together, they would be the mostpatible couple!


    ¡°You guys go on, I need to bring the fish to the kitchen.¡± Sarah said while stifling aughter.


    Sarah was really doing a good job as a matchmaker.


    Mr. Hardesty thought that he was really satisfied with Sarah¡¯s performance. He vowed to pay her back


    handsomelyter on.


    Riley rubbed her brows and cursed at Sarah silently. She was really dropping rocks on her. Let¡¯s see


    how she would retaliate against Sarahter on!


    ¡°Are you tired from all that fishing just now? Sit down and rest for a while.¡±


    ¡°Oh, okay.¡±


    In the small pavilion, two sofa was ced opposite one another, and there was a wooden table in


    between them. Some fruits and a Go chess set were perched on top of it.


    There were lush foliage surrounding them, and littered in the midst of all that greenness were red and


    yellow flowers. When the breeze came, a white yarn which was dangling from the roof of the pavilion


    swayed lightly. A faint flowery fragrance was in the air, and there was a moisture too brought upon by a


    nearbyke.


    The scenery was so rxing andfortable it made them feel loose.


    ¡°Do you like this ce?¡± William crossed his legs naturally and his extremely handsome face was


    revealing aforting smile.


    Riley was really scared that her soul would get sucked in by his gentleness into a vortex.


    ¡°This ce is really pretty so nobody wouldn¡¯t love this ce. There¡¯s no reason to not love this ce,


    no?¡±


    This not only applied to the scenery, it also applied to the people here. If one couldn¡¯t find any reason to


    not like someone, then he or she would fall for that person sooner orter.


    ¡°As long as you like it. I think you won¡¯t find ces like KTV fancy. This ce suits you more and it is


    not that far from city center. You cane here anytime you want.¡±


    Anytime?


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that a little inappropriate? I can see at a nce that this is a personal manor. It won¡¯t be opened


    to public that easily I suppose.¡±


    This was definitely a private property. She was smart enough to tell that.


    However, when it came to the owner of this manor¡­


    He smiled faintly and replied, ¡°Indeed, this ce is not opened to public every day, but if you are the


    visitor, this ce will always wee you with open arms. I know the owner of this manor, so you don¡¯t


    have anything to worry about. Treat this ce like your home.¡±


    He was going too fast with this, and she wasn¡¯t able to stop this topic from getting out of hand.


    ¡°I think¡­ It¡¯s okay.¡±


    He was going to say something, but Riley¡¯s phone started ringing.


    When Riley saw the name of the caller, Riley felt her heart jump as she bit her lips, ¡°Hello.¡±


    ¡°Where are you?¡±


    A ck Rolls-Royce was parked past the entrance of the manor. The security guard was not able to


    stop it.


    ¡°I am at¡­¡± Riley was in a dilemma whether to tell him the truth.


    ¡°Spit it out, where are you now?¡± Euan sounded furious.


    ¡°I am in a manor with Sarah now¡­¡± This was part of the truth too.


    At the same time, William¡¯s phone rang too.


    When he saw the number, he hurriedly left the pavilion.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, there is someone intruding into the manor forcefully, and we were not able to stop him.


    He is now driving further into the manor.¡±


    Oh?


    ¡°Who is that?¡±


    ¡°He is¡­ The president of MBK, Mr. George.¡±


    Euan? He was able to find this ce? He was not half-bad.


    ¡°Alright, let him in.¡±


    Euan got off his car, and not far away, there was a sculpted mountain, and there were green vegetation


    at the bottom with a pavilion in the mix. He took the steps and ascended, ¡°Riley, you are really getting


    bolder.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you mean, Mr. George. I am just out with friends, and I can¡¯t see why this will


    offend you.¡±


    Hmph! It seemed that this woman really wanted to anger him to death. It was very unlikely that she


    would have some self-consciousness!


    ¡°I will tell you face to faceter.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Riley waspletely in a daze.


    William hung up the phone and settled back onto the sofa, ¡°Do you want some fruits? Let me peel a


    tangerine for you.¡±


    His long and pleasing fingers peeled the skin of the tangerine and then he carefully removed the white


    fine lines from the edible parts before bending forward to hand it to her, ¡°Open your mouth. Taste this


    Vietnamese tangerine and tell me what you think about it.¡±


    Riley was shocked a little. This¡­ didn¡¯t the action of feeding someone personally feel a little


    ambiguous?


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid of me poisoning you? Or you think this tangerine is not peeled cleanly


    enough?¡±


    ¡°Huh? That¡¯s not it.¡±


    ¡°If that¡¯s not it, then are you trying to punish me by making me maintaining this posture until my


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    muscles ache all over?¡±


    His smile was so pure and straightforward, which made her felt guilty at having dirty thoughts about


    him. She removed her messy thoughts and thanked him, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    This was great! So this was what she mean when she said she was together with Sarah! So this was


    what she meant when she said she was having an outing!


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, it seems that you are very willing to take care of my wife for me.¡±


    A low baritone sounded from behind them without any warning! His voice sounded like an intense


    alcohol which put someone¡¯s temper on full disy.


    Riley felt her body jolt as she shot up from the sofa. She even forgot to chew on the tangerine in her


    mouth as she just stared at an unrealistically eye-catching man wearing ck pants, white shirt who


    was standing on the stairs.


    ¡°Euan, why¡­ Why are you here?¡±


    Euan breezed past thest flight of stairs nonchntly and stood outside the pavilion with his rigid body


    straightened. With one of his hands thrust into his pockets, and his silence immediately brought the


    temperature of the ce down to a freezing coldness.


    ¡°You are the one who has led me here! Did you forget about that?¡± Euan replied with an expressionless


    face, but there was something lurking in the darkness of his pupils.


    When did she ever say that?


    William smiled elegantly, ¡°Mr. George, wee.¡±


    Euan nced at him without any emotion before walking over to the sofa which Riley had sat on


    previously. There were only two sofas in this small pavilion. This¡­


    When William was about to order sometime to bring over another chair, Euan suddenly sat down on


    that sofa and he even wrapped his huge hand around Riley¡¯s thin waist, ¡°Don¡¯t continue to stand here.


    Sit down.¡±


    Sit down? Sitting on the ground? There was no chair for her, so where should she sit?


    ¡°My wife, sit down here.¡±


    Boom!


    Riley¡¯s eyes expanded immediately. Euan was actually inviting her to sit on his thighs!


    William cupped his forehead with frustration, ¡°I¡¯ll ask someone to send over another chair.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to bother with that, Mr. Hardesty. This is perfectly fine.¡±


    This man forced her to sit on hisp without giving her any chance to resist. Riley was really skinny,


    and when she sat on his thigh, her back was pressed against his chest. With the very thin fabric


    separating their skins, the man¡¯s heartbeat was very profound, which she felt on her back. His


    heartbeat came in regr waves, and they sounded energetic!


    Riley¡¯s face was alreadypletely flushed at the moment.


    William gulped down a huge mouthful of water as he suddenly felt thirsty. Euan was really something


    else!


    Euan lowered his gaze at the chess set while silently swiped aside the tangerine which was freshly


    peeled by William. The tangerine fell to the ground¡­


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, what about a game of chess?¡±


    This sudden start of their warfare felt suffocating for Riley to the point that she felt like she couldn¡¯t


    even breathe!


    She was sitting on Euan¡¯s thigh, and she couldn¡¯t move around at all¡­ This whole situation was really


    embarrassing for her!


    William pulled a tissue paper to wipe off some of the remnants of tangerine on his hand, ¡°Of course, as


    you please.¡±


    Euan¡¯s thin lips curled up imperceptibly, ¡°Choose your side.¡±


    There were ck and white chess, and he was letting William choose first.


    William chose the white chess, and Euanmented with his lips lifted, ¡°So you¡¯re choosing white.


    Very well.¡±


    Only Euan knew very well what his words meant.


    A chess of Go was a tug of war that tested the scheming and cunning strategy-forming ability on both


    sides. One¡¯s patience and strategy would be tested.


    Riley had a premonition that this match was going to put William in a disadvantage.


    As expected¡­


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, good game.¡±


    ¡°Mr. George, you have good skills.¡±


    ¡°Shall we continue?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    William was still the losing one in the second round.


    Riley couldn¡¯t continue watching this as she knew very well that losing three in a row would make


    William lose face, ¡°Shall we stop here? Why not we go somewhere to sightsee. I feel bored watching


    you two having a game of chess.¡±


    Euan stroked her hair intimately while his voice sounded like his usual sexy and seductive self,


    ¡°Anything you say.¡±


    William put down the chess pieces and asked, ¡°What kind of scenery do you fancy? Let me lead the


    way.¡±


    Euan ced the woman down to the ground while he stood up and wiped off some imaginary dust on


    his suit, ¡°A stroll emphasizes casualness, so you don¡¯t need to lead the way. Mr. Hardesty, I implore


    you to put the chess back to its original state.¡±


    There was an unspoken rule in the game of Go, which stated that loser had to tidy up the chess after


    the game by cing both the ck and white side neatly into two chess boxes.


    While he let William to handle the chess, Euan held Riley¡¯s hand and led her down the stairs.


    After descending the stairs, Euan gripped her wrist hard and an explosion of anger finally erupted in his


    eyes, ¡°Riley, it seems that you enjoy cheating on me that much!¡±

    Riley tried hard to struggle, she tried to pull up her hand from his palm but he grabbed her wrist tightly


    although her hand had be red.


    She had no choice butpromise when she faced his dominant and restricted act.


    ¡°Euan, don¡¯t use me wrongly. Don¡¯t even exert prejudice on others. There is no vague rtionship


    between Mr. Hardesty and me. You can simply investigate by yourself,¡±


    Riley breathed nervously. She did not even believe that there was no vague rtionship between them,


    how was she going to persuade him?


    Euan looked at her with forceful sights. When the wind blew, his hair and cor emitted a sense of


    anger, the anger seemed to explode soon.

    ¡°Riley, do you know how stupid you are?¡±


    Why did he say so?


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Riley was so nervous and asked directly.


    Shit, every time she talked to Euan, she would feel like she was a fool after he spoke five sentences.


    She was discontented!


    Euan looked at her disdainfully. Riley stayed in the garden with beautiful scenery, the surrounding


    green trees and red flowers made her stand out of them. She even looked fresh, graceful and delicate.


    She made Euan indulge in her silently andfortably.


    The summer wind prated the trees while the tree shadow reflected on her. Her hair was caressed


    gently and fell down slowly.


    Her hair stuck on her nose, the scene allured him.


    Euan was annoyed.


    ¡°You are so stupid that your eyes will betray you when you lie. They seem to tell me that you¡¯re lying,


    don¡¯t trust you.¡±


    Damn!


    ¡°I¡¯m not lying, we are just normal friend and normal colleague. If you want to go beyond that, he is my


    leader and he has saved me before.¡±


    He had saved you?


    ¡°You flirt with him because he has saved you before? And you eat the food he feeds you!¡±


    Euan was going to kill people if the conversation continued!


    He had actually seen that!


    Riley raised her head, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I do it? If it is not him who saves me in time that night, I am a corpse


    now. I have a token of appreciation for him greatly. Euan will not know about it, of course, you no need


    to know it.¡±


    Was it really so?


    ¡°What do you want some more? Marry him to return the token of appreciation? Huh?!¡± The man


    grabbed her hand heavily and almost broke her elbow.


    Riley¡¯s wrist was so painful that her tears almost fell. Euan was so violent, he would not let her go if he


    did not make some scars on her body!


    ¡°It is not as serious as what you think but I will not act ignorant, I am not that forgetful. Euan, please let


    me go.¡±


    He held her strongly, ¡°Tell me, is it because of him that you want to divorce as soon as possible?¡±


    ¡°Is it important? I just want to divorce, it is unnecessary for me to tell you the reason¡­Eh!¡±


    He hurt her wrist. She gasped deeply, her hand was almost broken!


    ¡°It is indeed not important because I will not agree to divorce for whatever reason you give.¡±


    The painfulness caused her tears to nearly overflow her eyes, if he exerted more strength on her, she


    must cry, ¡°Euan, you don¡¯t have humanity, you¡­¡±


    ¡°Whoops!¡±


    She had not finished scolding him but his cold and thin lips rest on her cherry lips suddenly! She was


    not able to speak!


    Euan held her wrist tightly, he kissed her intensively. She was failed to struggle. Euan let go of her wrist


    and caressed her back with his strong and warm hand. He hugged her tightly with his two big hands


    and dragged her into his arms!


    Riley beat his back with small strength. His lips became gentle and alluring gradually, he was coaxing


    her to fall into his gentle trap.


    William stood on the stone step, he saw the scene when he looked down.


    The strong man wrapped her fragile body under the green flora. The flower was blooming while the


    water was flowing.


    Nice wind, nice scenery and nice weather.


    Pleasant people, pleasant scene and pleasant moment.


    He was the extra one as if a banner that wrote ¡°Don¡¯t get closer to me.¡±


    William¡¯s heart chattered, he held his fist hard with heart-breaking mood. His graceful brow was


    tangled.


    He wanted to leave using another way but he heard a heavy pping sound came out from the bottom


    all of a sudden.


    Riley hit Euan¡¯s back.


    William froze his step, he walked downstairs stealthily.


    Euan purposely did it but he underestimated her defiance. He felt that he did not know this woman at


    all.


    ¡°Euan, you¡­¡±


    Why he always like that! Make her suffer!


    Euan would not give her the opportunity to speak, his big hand held his hand, ¡°I will be careful next


    time. You are so alluring, I cannot control myself.¡±


    What did he say?


    Riley turned her head, she changed her expression abruptly¡­


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty¡­you¡­¡±


    ¡°I just tidy up the chess, why are you here? Don¡¯t want to take a look outside?¡±


    He acted as if he did not see it.


    ¡°Oh¡­I will go now.¡±


    Euan crossed her fingers and held her hand tightly, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s enjoy the scenery.¡±


    ¡°Dr. Hardesty, Riley! The chef is so awesome, he cooks the fish at a fast pace, you all quickly¡­¡± she


    did not manage to finish her sentence.


    Sarah was frozen!


    What the hell was going on? Why Euan was here?


    Damn!


    It would be messy, Euan was here. The world would be messy!


    William smiled gently and politely, ¡°You seem to supervise the kitchen until now, good job.¡±


    Sarah scratched her clothes and her fingers, ¡°He he he he, so-so, so-so¡­¡±


    Euan said like a host immediately, ¡°Let¡¯s have our meal since the dinner is prepared.¡±


    What was so-called grabbing the host¡¯s role? See, he portrayed it well.


    He grabbed the role silently, the host had to make him a way.


    Riley smiled foolishly, ¡°Mr. Hardesty, let¡¯s have our meal.¡±


    He nodded and smiled, ¡°Ok.¡±


    He did not seem to mind anything, it made her feel more guilty.


    Euan held Riley¡¯s hand and walked in front while Sarah and William walked behind them.


    ¡°Dr. Hardesty, what¡­happened? Why is he here?¡±


    William could not help but shrug his shoulder, ¡°I also don¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°How can you not know that? He is your enemy, your rival. If you want to be together with Riley, you


    should defeat him. You should have some consciousness on danger.¡±


    Sarah was nervous, she wanted to help her best friend to escape from evil Euan and got into William¡¯s


    arms. A good man would not be avable forever.


    William watched at their back, ¡°She has the initiative about the matter. If I force her, I will lose her. I will


    give her some time to consider who is the most suitable partner for her.¡±


    Sarah was touched by William¡¯s words, she would be his craziest fan.


    ¡°Dr. Hardesty, you¡¯re such a good man. You look like the perfect supporting male that is gracefully and


    generous in the romantic novel that will always treat the female lead well unconditionally, you¡¯re so


    perfect¡­¡±


    Pooh! The supporting male must die in the end!


    What the hell was Sarah saying, she was talking shit!


    ¡°Ah, no no, I mean such a good man like you is not easy to meet. If you cannot be together with Riley, it


    is irrational and unfair!¡±


    William smiled and said, ¡°You don¡¯t be so nervous and tter me. If I want to chase after her, I will not


    give up easily. Thank you for helping a lot.¡±


    Sarah smiled awkwardly, ¡°But I don¡¯t expect Euan to spoil it.¡±


    Euan spoilt it?


    He actually felt that the wife had an affair and caught by her husband, damn.


    He did not dare to speak anymore.


    The restaurant was big, in the huge French Windows, there was a transparent ss table. There was


    an artificial waterfall in the centre of the table. The flowing water sound was heard clearly in the centre


    of the table and seemed to mix with the scenery outside.


    The dishes were served one by one.


    ¡°The vegetables are organic, the meat is directly received from the farm, no pollution at all,¡±


    William simply introduced the dishes.


    Riley looked at the dishes on the table. The dishes were small and too exquisite to eat.


    Euan remained an indifferent expression, Riley loved this kind of stuff?


    Thest dish was fish.


    The dining table was silent, the atmosphere was tense.


    Sarah smiled awkwardly, ¡°Don¡¯t just watch them. Dr. Hardesty, the fish is caught by you, you should eat


    first.¡±


    William nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s eat together, move your chopstick.¡±


    The fish was caught by him.


    Euan held the chopstick and stretched his hand to the middle of the table. He picked a smaller part of


    the fish and put it on Riley¡¯s te, ¡°You like to eat fish, eat more.¡±


    Sarah bit the chopstick silently, ¡°Riley indeed likes to eat fish¡­especially steamed fish.¡±


    Euan used the chopstick to pick the bone out of the fish, ¡°Wow? This method of cooking is the most


    Shit! Will he die if he did not flirt with her?


    ¡°Fish is delicious no matter how is it cooked,¡±


    Riley meant that she was not contrived.


    But someone said with a low tone, ¡°You seem to ept every way. I will satisfy you tonight.¡±


    Tut!


    Riley¡¯s blood pressure arose at a fast rate!


    Tonight? Ah, it was true that they had to stay overnight. Was she going to sleep with him tonight?


    Oh¡­my God!


    William ate gracefully, his taste was light, he only ate simple vegetable dishes.


    Euan ate with a dignified pattern like the prince of Ennd. He seemed to have the power of sucking


    soul when he held the chopstick.


    Sarah kept observing them.


    One of them came from the richest family in JD City while another man was the noble vice-president in


    the medical field.


    Both of them had a handsome face, their charisma was different but both looked good.


    Sarah bit her teeth, why both of them existed contemporaneously?


    Hai, if Euan loved Riley sincerely, he would be a perfect man that was rare in this world.


    But he did not love her, he ignored her for three years yet found another woman!


    So, William must be the winner as he was a good man.


    When eating, Sarah thought of an important question, ¡°Dr. Hardesty, are we going to stay here for a


    night? So¡­how many rooms have you booked?¡±


    After Sarah asked the question, three of them stopped eating.


    What happened? Did she say something wrongly?


    William looked at the two people opposite him, ¡°Initially, I think that Dr. Watson and Ms. Buchanan stay


    in one room, I have booked a double suite, I¡­¡±


    Euan did not let him finish his words, ¡°Alright, since it is a double suite, I will stay together with Riley


    tonight.¡±

    Chapter 100 Dr. Hardesty¡¯s Romantic Embrace


    After Euan had rushed to answer, William added, ¡°I¡¯m afraid this won¡¯t work, I only booked two rooms


    and I don¡¯t think it would be appropriate for Sarah and me to share a room.¡±


    Sarah then said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s not appropriate!¡±


    Riley said, ¡°Then how about this, Sarah and I can share a room together which means you two can


    both share the other room¡­¡±


    Damn! How could she even suggest this? The situation between William and Euan was currently very


    awkward; there was perhaps even a chance they would destroy the room if they had to share one


    together.


    William epted this arrangement since Euan and Riley didn¡¯t share a room together, ¡°I¡¯m fine with


    this, but I¡¯m not sure if Euan is willing to suffer for just one evening?¡±


    If Euan didn¡¯t agree then he would just appear unreasonable and this was not gentle at all, so in the


    end he had no choice but to ept it.


    The two rooms were on different floors, one being on the second floor and the other on the third floor of


    the vi. Riley and Sarah were to share the master bedroom on the third floor, and although the room


    on the second floor was also a master bedroom, the size was not the same.


    ¡°Riley, my heart feels as if it¡¯s going to stop beating! How was your husband able to find us here? This


    has scared me so much! I really fear that Euan will end up fighting with William!¡±


    Sarah was clutching her chest, gasping for breath.


    ¡°Well, I only told one of the servants, but how could I have expected he would still find out? He should


    have been at home today with Lydia.¡±


    Lydia was really a headache.


    ¡°My god, do you think a war will erupt in the room downstairs? I¡¯m very worried about the state this


    house will be left in.¡±


    ¡°That shouldn¡¯t happen¡­ right?¡± Even Riley wasn¡¯t too sure.


    Today really was very awkward.


    Inside the bedroom downstairs.


    Euan was sat down on the sofa with his slender legs crossed as if he was he was the one in control,


    ¡°William, what intentions do you have towards my wife?¡¯


    William who was holding a ss of water was sat down on the opposite sofa, ¡°Riley is a very great


    woman, as for what intention? What do you think?¡±


    Heh!


    He seemed to not be afraid that he was signing a death wish.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care what your intentions are for her, but I advise you to keep your distance from her. Because


    I¡¯m afraid that not even you would be able to deal with the consequences if you were to take things


    further.¡±


    William took a sip of water and then put the ss down on the table. ¡°Everyone is attracted to beautiful


    things, she is your wife I know that, but you should also know that in the end your marriage is only


    bound by a marriage contract, which is nothingpared with the true love between two people.¡±


    ¡°Love? So what you have between yourself and my wife is love?¡±


    It was clear, Euan¡¯s words were full of sarcasm and anger.


    William shook his said, ¡°Frankly speaking, no, she hasn¡¯t epted me yet. However I think that she


    doesn¡¯t have much love for you either, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t do something that might break apart the


    marriage. I also think that you don¡¯t love her too am I right? People will always be happy with true love,


    but as you see her now, do you think she is happy with you?¡±


    Euan wanted to shoot him down right now.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, even though you are just the third wheel between Riley and me, you seem to think you


    are so proud of what you were doing, you looked quite confident. As her husband, I would like to issue


    an honoured certificate for seducing my wife.¡±


    ¡°Euan, I have no intention of getting involved with your marriage. I only hope that the person I care


    about can be happy, even if the person she chooses in the end isn¡¯t me.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she won¡¯t be choosing you.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, but not necessarily.¡±


    ¡°This is just your assumption, not the facts.¡± Euan didn¡¯t want to talk nonsense with him anymore; this


    woman would be his forever, so why did others think they could get involved?


    Either get lost or die.


    ¡°Mr. George really does possess much power, so it would be very easy for you to bring me down. Not


    just me, but you could even bankrupt the hospital with just one word if you wanted to. However,


    fortunately you are still a man of integrity, and I would hope that you wouldn¡¯t do something like that to


    me.¡±


    What was he doing? ttering him to save himself?


    He definitely won¡¯t be a person to something in that way.


    ¡°If it¡¯s for love, then what¡¯s there to stop me?¡±


    He just knocked the table from time to time meaningful, up and down, it was like throwing a big stone in


    the water, it caused huge waves.


    William said nothing else, but wondered whether he could actually win this battle or not.


    Early morning the next day.


    As they went downstairs Riley and Sarah saw that the two men were already up and sitting in the living


    room.


    The two of them were actually able to be civil with one another? What a surprise!


    As Riley walked over, both Euan and William turned their heads at the same time and said in unison,


    ¡°Did you sleep well?¡±


    These words¡­


    It sounded like a natural greeting that William would say, but it sounded slightly strangeing from


    Euan.


    Riley nodded at the two of them, ¡°Very well, how about the two of you?¡±


    The two of them both answered the same.


    But as she thought about it, it was strange that the two of them were able to sleep so well in the same


    room.


    Sarah then quickly rushed over to break the awkwardness, ¡°I¡¯m hungry, can we eat something?¡±


    ¡°Of course, we were just waiting for you two toe downstairs.¡±


    Euan then grabbed her hand, ¡°Let¡¯s go back after breakfast.¡±


    ¡°Why so soon?¡±


    ¡°Is it because of the location or the people?¡± Euan held her hand tightly; right now he just wanted to


    hide this woman away into the vi and never let her out again!


    Due to the unpleasant conversation fromst night, Euan wasn¡¯t able to get much sleep.


    N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Same for William.


    ¡°I promised Sarah that I would apany her for two days, so if you need to go back now then that¡¯s


    fine.¡±


    He was holding her hand not that tightly, but she didn¡¯t try to struggle free.


    ¡°You made mee here, but you don¡¯t want to leave with me?¡¯


    What a joke!


    ¡°How did I make youe here?¡±


    She didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°If you didn¡¯t want me toe then why did you tell the servant where you were, and then even tell


    them that you wouldn¡¯t be returning home for the night? You think I wouldn¡¯t be able to take the hint?¡±


    By god, She had no idea how that had made him think this way.


    Riley¡¯s and William¡¯s phone then suddenly started to ring at the same time.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, you need toe to the hospital right away! Arge fire broke out somewhere in East


    District, and now the hospital is in chaos!¡±


    William and Riley then looked at each other and said, ¡°We need to get back to the hospital now!¡±


    Sarah then said, ¡°No way! It¡¯s Sunday today!¡±


    She had just started eating.


    ¡°Life waits for no one, we need to go to the hospital¡­ but you both can stay here and eat.¡±


    Riley got up from the chair and walked out; right now she turned out to be Dr. Watson, she cannot think


    about anything else but saving life.


    ¡°I¡¯ll drive.¡±


    When William said this, his phone then rang again, ¡°The patient¡¯s intracranial is ready to be punctured!


    However if it¡¯s rushed then the cerebrospinal fluid drainage will be too dangerous¡­ alright, preparing a


    venttor and 1mg of adrenaline.¡±


    Riley¡¯s phone then also rang, ¡°Yes?¡±


    Despite seeing the two of them in this state, Sarah had no intention to eat anymore.


    Euan who was furious pulled back the chair rather aggressively and as he walked past William said,


    ¡°No, I¡¯ll drive!¡±


    Getting one call after another and he still nned to drive? Was he not afraid he would crash the car


    and die before even getting to the hospital?


    Riley who was still holding her phone looked at him in astonishment¡­


    ¡°What are you doing just standing there? Come with me.¡±


    William, who was still giving instructions to the trainee doctor on how to give emergency treatment to


    the patient, went with Riley to go with Euan.


    Riley looked back at Sarah, ¡°You stay here and bring the things with you when you leave.¡±


    William threw his car keys over to Sarah and said, ¡°You can use my car to drive back.¡±


    They just left Sarah behind like this.


    The ck Rolls-Royce sped along the road with Riley sitting in the passenger seat and William in the


    back. The two had been answering countless calls since they had gotten in the car.


    Euan who was a good driver was focussing intently on the road, he looked pale.


    ¡°Drive faster! The patients can¡¯t wait any longer!¡±


    Riley cared a lot for her patients, and in between the calls was asking Euan to drive faster.


    Euan gave her a cold look, ¡°If you want to die then I can drive faster.¡±


    ¡°The patient is struggling to breath and will die if he isn¡¯t treated in time!¡±


    Euan was starting to get irritated; he was already driving at 200km per hour, so if he went any faster it


    would be extremely dangerous!


    ¡°So what? People are dying everyday of old age and other sicknesses.¡±


    In his mind he only cared about the ensuring the person he cared about lives.


    The speed was indeed very fast, but when Riley heard that the patient can¡¯t breathe, just one second


    could be the difference between life and death.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense! Hurry up, or the patient really will die!¡±


    Riley was so anxious that she hadpletely forgotten what kind of person Euan was.


    Euan knew the seriousness of the situation, but he really was driving as fast as he could to ensure their


    safety.


    ¡°Sit tight!¡±


    All of a sudden the Rolls Royce began to speed up even more like a meteor flying through the sky.


    God¡­ the speed of the car really was too fast.


    Once they had arrived outside the door of the emergency room of the hospital, Riley and William


    pushed open the car door and got out. The ambnce had just arrived at the same time and the two of


    them ran over to it.


    ¡°The patient has inhaled a lot of smoke into their lungs, they need oxygen!¡±


    ¡°Dr. Watson, this patient jumped out of the building in a hurry¡­¡±


    William strode over and touched the patient¡¯s body with his fingers, ¡°The ribs are broken, along with a


    bone fracture in the leg. Dr. Watson, press down on the patient¡¯s heart to see if there is any internal


    organ damage.¡±


    Riley listened to the patient¡¯s heartbeat and breathing and then said, ¡°The patient is suffering from


    hyperaemia in the heart and needs surgery immediately!¡±


    ¡°Take him inside and prepare for surgery!¡±


    Euan didn¡¯t get out of the car; he was sat in the car watching the two of them through the ss window.


    They seemed to cooperate very well together, as if in sync and very familiar with each other.


    At the same time, this was also the first time that he had seen Riley be so anxious and rushing to save


    the lives of her patients, this image of her engraved itself in his heart.


    Riley, he really couldn¡¯t resist the charm of this woman.


    ¡°Ventricr fibrition! Prepare to defibrite, 300 joules, now recharge!¡±


    ¡°And again!¡±


    With two tries, the patient still hadn¡¯t regained consciousness. Riley then stepped onto the stretcher,


    knelt on the patient and pressed her hands onto him!


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, the patient¡¯s breathing is abnormal, pleasee and help!¡±


    William¡¯s hand were stained with blood, he had just been treating another seriously injured patient. But


    when he saw that Riley was doing CPR, he strode over and felt the patient¡¯s abdomen with his fingers.


    ¡°He has blood umting in the abdomen! Come down!¡±


    As soon as he said this, the patient suddenly spurted out a big mouthful of blood.


    At the same time however, William had grabbed Riley with both hands and spun her away from the


    patient.


    He had saved her from having the blood spurt onto her.


    The scene seemed frozen.


    Riley stiffened in his arms, while the surrounding nurses and doctors all stared at them dumbfounded.


    Euan who was gripping the steering wheel in both hands wanted to drive the car over there, to kill


    William!


    William then said softly, ¡°Are you alright?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­ could you put me down now.¡±


    ¡°Wow!¡± There was a sudden apuse. ¡°Nice! Just now you really looked like a perfect couple! What


    happened just now really was amazing!¡±


    Euan narrowed his eyes, a couple?


    Angrily crumpling up the two movie tickets in his pocket he then threw them out of the window, he


    started the car and then drove off.

    Chapter 101 Originated From A Medical Incident Five Years Ago


    They worked all day and didn''t get all the patients arranged until after 7 pm. All the nurses and doctors


    were exhausted, and Riley and William were no exception.


    Riley sat in her chair. Her face was covered in sweat and her clothes stained with the blood of the


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    patients. She weakly took off her blood-covered gloves and threw them in the bin.


    William brought over two sses of water, "How''s that? Are you okay?"


    Riley wiped the sweat from her face, "Thanks ... I''m fine."


    Drinking the water, Riley took a big breath, "Fortunately, you handled the cardiac arrest just in time."


    "You were excellent too. Dr. Watson, you amaze me with your fast thinking."


    "You don''t have to be so polite."


    William smiled, "Indeed, there is no need. Then I will toast you with water instead of wine for the patient


    who was just there."


    "You too."


    The two clinked the paper cups in their hands. There was nothing more pleasant than saving the life of


    a dying patient.


    After a break, William looked at the blood on Riley''s body, "Did you have a change of clothes in the


    hospital? I''m afraid no one will dare take you home if you go out in a taxi like that."


    Riley then noticed that she was covered in blood. She frowned, "There should be. I''ll go and change.


    Mr. Hardesty, you should get home early from work too."


    "Okay."


    Riley got up holding onto the back of her chair. Her arms were sore and numb from all the effort she''d


    put into resuscitating the patient, so William gave her a hand, "Let a male doctor do CPR in the future.


    You''re not strong enough, and you need to save your strength for more important things."


    "Thanks, I''ll take care of that."


    She went to change and William went to the lift, "Dr. Watson, why don''t we have dinner together


    tonight? You ate half of your breakfast and barely ate anything for lunch. Your body won''t stand it if you


    go home like that."


    It was almost eight o''clock. She and Euan had been apart for nearly twelve hours.


    "No, I want to go home and take a shower and go to bed early. Tomorrow is Monday and I still have to


    work."


    Changing out of the clothes she had left at the hospital, Riley dragged her tired body back to the vi in


    a taxi.


    Entering the door, Riley kicked off her shoes as her arms went limp. A loud woman''sugh came down


    from the first floor.


    She squeezed a sour smile from her somewhat haggard face.


    It had only taken half an hour''s drive back to their tender home from the bloody emergency room, but


    the gap was so wide.


    "Mrs. George, what''s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?"


    Riley waved her hand, "Pour me a ss of water."


    "Yes, Mrs. George, please have a seat."


    Sophia brought the water over, "Have you eaten? The chef has made chicken soup. I''ll serve you a


    bowl."


    She was indeed very hungry and tired and did not refuse.


    The soup was made for pregnant women, and Lydia instructed the chef not to put this in, not to put that


    in, and how the heat should be.


    The maids were baffled that Euan had allowed her tomand all the people in the house without any


    reaction.


    Was the tide really going to turn?


    The chicken soup was served and Riley blew on the heat and took a sip. It tasted delicious and the


    chicken was cooked to perfection and melted in the mouth.


    She was eating it when a tall, ck man came down from the first floor.


    She didn''t need to look to know who it was.


    "This is for pregnant women. Only when you be pregnant can you drink!"


    Before she had time to look up at him, Euan snatched the small porcin bowl from her hand with a


    sudden snap of hisrge hand.


    With a spoon left in her hand, Riley turnednguidly to meet his eyes, "You reminded me of that."


    She dropped the spoon into the bowl and stood up, holding onto the couch.


    Pregnant women and non-pregnant women, he made a clear distinction between them. He wouldn''t


    even let her have a bowl of chicken soup, so why did he make everything so realisticst night?


    "Where are you going!"


    "I''m going to my room to sleep."


    She had been busy for twelve hours and was so exhausted that she couldn''t really spare any energy to


    fight with him. She just wanted to drift off to sleep.


    "Exin right now what''s going on with you guys!"


    "Euan, what''s wrong?"


    With the soft, sweet voice, Lydia walked gracefully down the stairs in a white princess nightgown.


    She took Euan''s arm, "Euan, who has upset you again? Why let people who don''t have anything to do


    with you affect your mood? Come on, let''s go upstairs and continue choosing clothes for the baby. I


    saw a baby suit just now and I think you''ll like it."


    Euan didn''t break away or cooperate with her, "Riley, I''ll let you exin now."


    The atmosphere in the room was icy and desperately needed an exnation to ease the situation.


    Euan''s lungs were bursting with anger.


    The maid took the bowl from his hand and retreated. No one dared to linger in the hall.


    Thevish chandeliers shone brightly, but in the light, Riley looked like a dead branch in the wind that


    could fall at any moment.


    "There''s nothing to exin. We''re healing people."


    Exin what? She had a clear conscience.


    As if to add fuel to the fire, Lydia said, "Which man have you been hooking up with again? Riley, it''s


    okay that you don''t care about being the George family''s young madam, but at least remember that


    you''re a woman. Don''t you even want to save your own face?"


    She really said it in a nice way, and in one sentence, she was thrown into the seat of being a


    temptress, a woman that would cheat on her husband, and a whore.


    She could have argued, but she didn''t want to talk, "Lydia, it is you who has no regard for my status as


    the young madam of the George family. Do you really think you''re the master when you''re holding a


    ball?"


    Lydia let go of Euan''s arm, walked over, and grabbed her arm, "What do you mean!"


    Riley looked at her exquisite nails in disgust, "Let go."


    "Speak clearly. What do you mean! How dare you call the George family''s son a ball?!"


    Distorting the fact! Oh, was that funny?


    "Lydia, you don''t own this house yet. I do."


    She said slowly and proudly. She didn''t give a damn about Lydia, and she wasn''t afraid of Lydia''s


    shenanigans.


    The only people who could hurt her were the ones she cared about. As for Lydia, she was nothing!


    "Oooh ..." Lydia said with tears streaming down her face. She took Euan''s hand in anguish and cried in


    his arms, "Euan, do you hear it? She means she wants to kick me out. She''s bullying me to this point,


    and you''re just going to stand by and watch?"


    She was crying and acting like a spoiled child again.


    ¡®Can''t you fucking use a fresh trick!¡¯


    She cried in earnest, but Euan didn''t give much of a reaction, "You''re pregnant. It''s not good for your


    health to cry."


    Lydia caught the words and pressed her face into his chest, "Euan, she''s looking down on me and our


    baby. Now that she''s looking down on the baby before it''s even born, what will happen then? I can


    suffer, but not the baby."


    ¡®Why don''t you go to hell!¡¯


    Riley wanted to say something like that.


    She was silent and waited for Euan''s reaction. After all, it was Euan who was the heart of the matter,


    and as long as he believed her, she didn''t have to say anything. If he didn''t believe her, it would be


    useless even if she talked for three days and nights.


    "All right, you go up and rest."


    There was a bit of coaxing in his tone, but there was still mostly impatience.


    Lydia tugged at his sleeve, "Euan ... will you stay with me? I''m a bit panicky. It''s not going to hurt the


    baby, is it?"


    Damn!


    Riley simply couldn''t watch it. ''Lydia, can you be a little more melodramatic?'' She could simply be more


    melodramatic and just disgust her to death.


    She didn''t have the mood or the strength to watch any further. Her legs were weak now, and if she kept


    holding on, she thought her legs would be ruined tomorrow, "I''m tired. You guys make yourselves


    With those words, she slowly made her way down the long corridor to her room, closed the door, and


    copsed on the bed.


    So tired. Her body was exhausted from the overwork, and her heart was tired from the soreness.


    In the hall, Lydia let go of Euan and gently wiped away her tears as well.


    "See? This is Riley, more heartless and selfish than the woman I knew back then. Euan, she''s a


    woman without a heart. How can she love people?" she took his hand gently, ¡°Just now, she didn''t


    linger or feel sad at all. She doesn''t care about you at all."


    She said it in a thoughtful, soft way. It was as if she was the only person in the world who was putting


    herself in his shoes.


    Euan broke away from her hand, "I''m tired too."


    With that, ignoring Lydia''s dismay and surprise, he lifted his long legs and walked over to the long


    couch in the living room.


    She tried to follow, but Euan said, "Send Ms. Saunders up."


    The maid escorted her upstairs. Euan was the only one left in therge living room.


    He massaged his temples several times with his slender fingers.


    Looking down, he saw the medical book Riley had ced under the ss table. Then he reached


    down and took it out.


    It was a very specialized book on cardiology, and it was thick. He didn¡¯t know how many times it had


    been turned over, but the lower right corner of the front page was curled, and many notes had been


    made in the crevices between the lines.


    Her graceful handwriting is nestled inside the printed words. Some of the strokes were clear and some


    were written in a cursive manner. He touched the words she had written down with his fingers and


    could almost imagine what she had looked like when she wrote them.


    As he flipped through them, a smile suddenly appeared on Euan''s previously somber face.


    Riley probably was also tired as she read. She had drawn a picture in one of the margins. It was a very


    scribbled and poorly drawn picture of a very ugly and stupid pr bear.


    Next to it was a line that read, "Mr. Bear, don''t be so arrogant.


    Suddenly, Euan burst outughing. Dr. Watson, who had just been strict, had be childish.


    Damn it, what was he doing!


    Annoyed, Euan shoved the book in and was in a frenzied mood.


    At that moment, the phone in his pocket rang.


    It was Aiden calling.


    "How dare you contact me? Are things done?" Euan leaned back on the couch and rubbed his brow.


    "It''s going to take a while, but I''ve got something. The information I got by selling my body is absolutely


    reliable!"


    "Cut the crap. Say it."


    Aiden, who was in New York, grimaced, "Riley''s not easy! Even I admire her."


    "Get to the point!"


    "Take it easy. Riley actually got into Hopkins University at sixteen and started on the operating table at


    neen. She''s nothing short of a medical miracle."


    Euan frowned. Riley? seriously?


    How had he not known her CV was so impressive?


    "There''s more to surprise you. Five years ago, thest year of her undergraduate studies, she nearly


    lost her right hand to a medical ident. After recovering from her injury, she turned to study medicine


    andpleted the five-year course in two years. Now only twenty-six years old, Riley had master¡¯s


    degrees in medicine and surgery, isn''t that impressive?"


    Euan startled. Riley ... he had no idea that his bed partner was such a woman.


    "What medical malpractice was the reason for that five years ago?"

 Chapter 102 No More Waiting, Euan Is Going To Confess

    Chapter 102 No More Waiting, Euan Is Going To Confess


    "This ..." On the other end of the line, Aiden hesitated.


    Euan felt his nerves slowly tightening in one direction. He wanted to know the answer and was afraid


    that knowing the answer would cause him pain and suffering once again.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Aiden said, "Well, I''m afraid that even she doesn''t know. There''s no way to find out because the man


    left no information."


    "How can there be no way to find out? A living person would have left at least a trace."


    "It''s true that there''s no way to find out. I''ve tried everything and can''t find out. But Euan, the key issue


    now is not who the person is, is it? What you should be more concerned about is your wife, who really


    isn''t an ordinary person. I was wondering how you married her, so it''s because of that!"


    Euan frowned. He didn''t really know.


    There was nothing about Riley that he had ever investigated. He knew as much as she said.


    At first, he had hoped he could learn everything about her from her, and then, after all that had


    happened, Euan had never wanted to hear anything about her again.


    "What else did you find out?"


    Aiden poked the bridge of his nose, "Frankly, I''m getting a little self-doubtful after all this time spent


    investigating something so useless."


    Euan turned to look at the end of the corridor, "Maybe, and maybe ..."


    Maybe she really was too good at disguising herself, and wiped her past clean so that there was no


    way for anyone to find out.


    "Maybe what?"


    "There''s no maybe. It''s that your IQ has deteriorated."


    "Shit! Would it kill you to say something nice?"


    "I''m not a fortune teller on the runway, and I won''t say what you want to hear."


    Damn!


    "There''s another discovery you might be interested in. Your wife used to have a crush on someone


    when she was in college, but then that person left for America, so your wife''s crush fell through."


    What? He wasn''t interested in that!


    "I don''t want to wait any longer."


    Inexplicably, he said this.


    Aiden froze, "What are you going to do?"


    "Confess to her."


    Aiden, "... Did I hear that right? Confess?! To Riley Watson?"


    "From now on, don''t even call her by her full name."


    Aiden was speechless.


    He had decided that he wasn''t going to hide it anymore. No matter what she thought in her mind, he


    was going to tell her!


    He loved her!


    The following day, Riley woke up and walked to the window to stretch her body. She was surprised to


    find gardenias growing in the bushes.


    The white gardenias were in bright, pure bloom.


    No, she was pretty sure there were no flowers here the other day. How could they have grown so big


    all of a sudden?


    She poked her upper body out to smell the flowers. The fresh, faint scent was so nice.


    At the breakfast table, the three looked at each other in silence.


    Euan offered Riley a piece of broli from his te.


    She froze, and so did Lydia.


    "Thanks."


    "Give me milk."


    The ss of milk was between the two of them. Couldn''t he take it himself and had to ask her to serve


    him?


    Fine.


    Riley handed him the ss of milk and Euan took it but did not let go as hisrge hand rested on


    Riley''s. The brief exchange of temperatures was ambiguous and a little abrupt.


    Lydia smiled affectionately, "Euan, this is your favorite dish. Have some more."


    She offered him a piece of green cabbage and smiled with the corners of her eyes curled.


    "Are you going to be workingte today?"


    He took a sip of milk and said as if he didn''t care.


    Riley thought he was out of sorts today, "I''m not supposed to be workingte. Do you have


    something?"


    He didn''t say anything else. It was good that she wasn''t workingte.


    Riley just went to work. And after checking the room, her phone rang.


    "Riley, free up your lunch hour. I need to see you."


    It was Anika!


    Her head ached.


    "Yes, Mom."


    See her at noon ... Riley has been anxious all morning. What could Anika be looking for her for? Scold


    her? Satirize her?


    At twelve, Riley left work, changed her clothes, and went to the appointed ce to meet Anika.


    Inside the restaurant, Anika was dressed in a noble and elegant cheongsam, and from a distance, one


    could tell that her status was not ordinary.


    "Sit down."


    She said it coldly and simply as if she had lost some kind of patience with her.


    Riley nodded and pulled out the chair and sat down, "Mom, what did you want to see me about?"


    Anika put her coffee cup down and opened her Hermes handbag, pulling a prepared bank card from it


    and pushing it across the table to her.


    "What''s this?"


    Anika sneered condescendingly as if she were giving her a handout, "This is what you married into the


    George family for. Of course, this may not be enoughpared to your ambitions, but you''d better be


    smart and take the money and get out of the George family. I will not approve of you and Euan being


    together and you will never set foot in the George family!"


    Instead of being overly shocked, she was reassured by her expected words.


    This was a VIP gold card from a bank, and the minimum pre-deposit for such a card was fifty million, so


    there were tens of millions in there, to say the least. For a doctor, it was an astronomical amount.


    "Mom, are you trying to use this money to force me to divorce Euan?"


    "You''re very clever. Yes, I don''t want to wait any longer. I''ll give you a week to get a divorce with Euan. I


    don''t know why Euan refuses to get a divorce. But I want you to be clear, either me or you, Euan can


    only choose one! If you want him to lose his mother from now on, you can stay with him. Otherwise,


    news of him turning against his mother will be waiting for him!"


    Anika was ruthless in what she did and never beat about the bush. And she was so hard-hearted that


    she would achieve what she wanted to achieve.


    One week ...


    She gave her an ultimatum!


    Since she was forcing her to get a divorce, she had to at least give her a reason.


    "Why do you want us to get a divorce?" Riley stared steadily at Anika. She rarely interfered in their


    rtionship personally, but today she was speaking so harshly!


    "The reason? It''s simple. Euan doesn''t really like you, and neither do I. Also, with your background, you


    simply can''t be good enough for him. What makes the Watson family, who is on the verge of


    bankruptcy, qualify for a rtionship with us?"


    She spoke with a vicious tongue!


    "The chosen daughter-inw of the George family is Lydia, and they''ve known each other for years.


    Your presence has messed everything up. You''re a mistress! Now you should quit and let the people


    who deserve to be happy be truly happy. Leave them alone!"


    Her heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden!


    So, she didn''t deserve the George family at all.


    So, it was she who had disturbed their happiness!


    So, she should have withdrawn to make them happy.


    Riley''s eyes ached with pain. Holding back the tears that were about toe out, she smiled, "I won''t


    give him a hard time. I''ll get a divorce."


    "Very well."


    The noblewoman across the table was about to leave when Riley got up and handed her her bank


    card, "I''ll get a divorce with him, but I''m not taking the money. You can have it."


    Anika sneered, "Do you still expect to get thepensation my son gave you when you divorced?"


    Riley''s heart ached, "I''m not with him for the money. I love him."


    "Save it! Take it if you know what''s good for you. In this way, you and I are both relieved."


    With the money, she had no way back and she didn''t have to worry all the time.


    So, Riley squeezed the card in her hand and didn''t give it away again.


    Riley walked out of the coffee shop without even wiping her tears away. When she saw that it was


    Euan''s number, she almost fainted on the road from the heartache.


    "Hello."


    "I''ll see you tonight after work."


    "What''s up?"


    "Do I have to have something to see you about?"


    She was silent, "Okay."


    Just now Anika had forced her to get a divorce and now Euan''s call wasing. Was she unable to


    avoid it today?


    Gathering herself, Riley didn''t allow herself to show too much panic in front of him. She replied with just


    one word, "Where?"


    "How about The Earl?" Euan remembered that Riley liked steak. The steak at The Earl was the


    freshest and tastiest.


    "No need. You can juste to my t. You know the address."


    Euan was surprised. She took the initiative to invite him to her home. Did she want to make up with him


    too?


    At the President''s office in the MBK International Corporation building.


    Euan released his hand and the phone slid smoothly onto the table. It could almost catch a glimpse of


    the good mood its owner was in at the moment.


    He wanted to save the rtionship, so she offered an olive branch. His heart warmed, and Euan smiled


    inadvertently.


    Elijah entered the president''s office and saw his back as he stood facing the window, "You wanted to


    see me, boss?"


    Euan tapped his knuckles on the corner of the desk, ¡°Cancel all my trips for the evening. I need to go to


    a ce."


    Elijah leaned over and asked, "Do you have an evening event, boss?"


    "Yeah."


    Elijah was confused for three seconds. Boss actually had an event? He hadn''t seen a schedule for it.


    Had he missed something important?


    "Okay, boss. Do you need me to prepare anything?"


    "You go to Kerry''s studio and ask her to choose a gift suitable for women," Euan said in a soft voice.


    Elijah froze. A gift? Which woman was Boss going to give a gift to? It couldn''t be Lydia, could it? In all


    his time with Boss, he had never seen him choose a gift for Lydia. Usually, it was just her choosing


    what she wanted and getting it herself.


    When he thought about it, it seemed that Lydia didn''t carry much weight in Boss''s mind either, but


    rather she was actively and aggressively pestering him.


    "Yes, boss. I''ll go to Kerry''s studio first, thene and get you." Elijah anticipated that the gift was


    probably for Dr. Watson.


    Thinking of this, he felt a little excited.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.

 Chapter 103 Belated Confession, Deep Affection

    Chapter 103 Bted Confession, Deep Affection


    Kerry was a well-known fashion designer and had received numerous awards in various fashion weeks


    held in Mn and Paris. Most of Euan¡¯s suits, tuxedos were designed by her, she knew his taste well.


    Elijah arrived in Kerry¡¯s studio and headed towards her office directly, ¡°Hello! Long time no see.¡±


    Kerry was working on a design while she saw Elijah and automatically she looked behind him, ¡°Where


    is your boss?¡±


    ¡°This is not the Grand Pce, does my boss need to pay a visit by himself? I can be the


    representative, do you have any new design?¡±


    Elijah wandered around the exhibition area, there were loads of new suits on disy, meticulously


    designed ties, shoes and a series of metalttice essories were also on disy.


    Kerry was a highly productive designer who was able to produce numerous excellent pieces within a


    month.


    Elijah brushed across a row of suits while visualizing how well it looked on his boss. No matter which


    design, his boss was able to carry it with perfection.


    ¡°Okay, okay, so what would Mr Parker like today?¡±


    Euan was a generous and regr client, he treated Kerry with manners and respect, so she opened up


    a cupboard, ¡°These are all my masterpiece, pick as you like.¡±


    Elijah¡¯s sense of fashion was not as good as Kerry¡¯s, so he didn¡¯t dare to decide and said, ¡°In your


    opinion, what would be the best gift to present to ady on a dinner date?¡±


    Kerry snapped her fingers, ¡°Is Mr George going on a date with his wife?¡±


    Elijah was stunned!


    God, how did she get it right on the first guess?


    Elijah didn¡¯t deny, ¡°So? Your suggestion?¡±


    ¡°Suit is a must, shoes must be a good match too, every detail counts, hmm¡­¡± She picked up three


    suits and three pairs of Italy made brown shoes.


    Kerry held out a box, ¡°Woman will surely go crazy with this, thetest design of this year!¡±


    Elijah took over the box, there was a diamond ne in it. It looked pricey and would be irresistible


    for a woman.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not going to ask for the price? Do you trust me that much?¡±


    Elijahughed, ¡°My boss can buy your entire studio, this is nothing?¡±


    At HX hospital.


    ¡°Has the patient sent from ER earlier settled?¡±


    ¡°Yes, everything is settled, Dr Watson.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    It was time to go home then.


    Riley Watson put on her clothes in the changing room, even if he was reluctant to invite her over for


    dinner, their meeting was inevitable.


    How could she ignore an order from Anika Grill?


    She had such a strong attitude, if she ignored it, a disaster would hit Euan.


    Even wild beast look after their young, but will not hesitate to devour others¡¯.


    Riley was nothing to the George, a worthless existence.


    Euan George, the day of our separation had finally arrived.


    Riley went home early, she bought some fresh ingredients and started preparing. She wanted to


    prepare him a meal for onest time. It was not a big apartment, it was nothingpared to Euan¡¯s


    vi, but this ce was filled with memories of the two.


    That door, that bed, had witnessed many sweet moments of hers.


    Invited him here¡­ Riley thought, was she hoping for something?


    While these thoughts went on her mind, she finished a four-course meal with one soup.


    Riley prepared all cutleries needed, reced the flower vase with fresh water and there was still twenty


    minutes left before he arrived. To her, twenty minutes seemed like ages while waiting for him, in the


    meantime, it also seemed too short if it was thest time they were to be together. Her mind was in


    turmoil, she had to keep herself busy, she changed the grey dress she was wearing, reced it with a


    light coloured knee-length dress, tidied her hair and put on some lipsticks.


    She looked way better than before she cooked, looked gentler and prettier.


    ¡°Euan, let¡¯s have a peaceful breakup.¡±


    ¡°Euan, why don¡¯t we¡­ sign the divorce paper today.¡±


    ¡°Euan, I¡¯ve been thinking, we are not a good match, Lydia is the one for you. Let¡¯s cut the cords


    between us after this meal.¡±


    Riley practised a few opening dialogues in front of the mirror, none of which made her feel any better.


    Euan was always on time, he was rarelyte. He smelled homemade food the moment he opened the


    door, this put a smile on his face and made his eyes shine.


    The ordinary smell today gave him a sense of extraordinary happiness.


    ¡°Am Ite?¡± Euan entered and was ready to change his shoes.


    Riley stopped him and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to change, juste in.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Euan straightened his back and smiled at her.


    Euan¡¯s was captivated by the natural beauty of Riley.


    She looked serious but always seemed to be smiling. She walked towards him like an angel.


    She was a true beauty!


    ¡°It¡¯s just a simple meal,¡± Riley said apologetically with a slightly cold tone. She intentionally created a


    distance between them.


    In the meantime, she noticed that Euan looked extremely elegant and smart with his new suit.


    His charm was irresistible.


    It was undeniable that Euan could have the entire female poption went crazy over him with only his


    handsome looking face.


    Riley did not only excel as a doctor, but she was also a terrific cook, she could easily turn simple


    ingredients into heavenly tasted food.


    ¡°This is the best meal I¡¯ve ever seen.¡± Euan pulled out her chair for her gently.


    Those were all simple and light tasted food along with steamed bass, all of his favorites.


    She washed her hand and prepared his soup. It was a good sign, he whispered happily inside his


    heart.


    She lifted her chopsticks and smiled, her lips were so attractive. ¡°You drove here right? It¡¯s better not to


    have alcohol then.¡±


    Euan could call Elijah over anytime he wanted but he chose to listen to her, ¡°Alright.¡±


    They enjoyed the meal together, the atmosphere was warm, harmonious and rxing. Euan tasted and


    enjoyed the food while visualizing her being busy preparing all this food in the kitchen. He thought he


    could volunteer to do the dishes afterwards.


    And they would look even more like a husband and wife in that sense.


    She reached for the ss on the side and tried hiding her difort by drinking. She had to admit that


    rejecting Euan required courage.


    Euan¡¯s sight was locked on her throughout the time, and their eyes met when she removed the ss,


    Euan looked at her gently with a smile, ¡°The food taste amazing.¡±


    He hoped he could taste such amazing food every day in the future.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Riley felt like she was surrounded by his gentleness, she felt like she was slowly sinking into his river of


    affection.


    Why did he behave like that?


    ¡°Thank you.¡± She had another sip of water but still felt the thirst.


    Euan smiled and took her ss over, ¡°Are you not going to eat? Water alone is enough?¡±


    Riley stared right into his eyes, she felt a sense of unfamiliar tenderness and charm.


    What happened? They never had a long conversation like this before. He had never interested in


    talking to her but he was unexpectedly gentle and full of affection today.


    It¡¯s a delusion! Riley Watson! You are delusional!


    Euan realized her disbelief, she was cute but he gave himself a mockery smile.


    He never really given them a chance before, he wanted to but there was always something that came


    between them.


    But tonight, he wanted to cut out all those unnecessary influences.


    ¡°Why are you smiling?¡± she couldn¡¯t understand his unusual behaviour.


    ¡°Give me your mobile.¡±


    Euan asked, she did as he asked despite being confused.


    Euan took over her mobile and turned it off, ¡°Today, no one can ever leave no matter what.¡±


    He turned off his mobile too and put it under hers.


    It was like the two of them,ying on top of each other.


    Riley felt a sudden hot flush through her body.


    Euan picked up a piece of fish, removed all the bones and gave it to her. ¡°Here you go, you like fish.¡±


    Riley¡¯s heart was filled with indescribable warmness, ¡°Thank you, I can do it myself.¡±


    ¡°Oh yeah, this is for you.¡±


    Euan presented her with the gift, she went, ¡°What?¡±


    Euan George was being so bold today, not hiding his affection and acting like his husband. ¡°A gift for


    you, see if you like it.¡±


    Riley was surprised, ¡°It¡¯s not my birthday.¡± And it¡¯s no special day either, why gift?


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t have to be a special day to buy you a gift,e on, open up.¡±


    Riley put down her cutlery and she was attracted to the gift at first but¡­


    This ne looked so familiar.


    Isn¡¯t this the same limited edition that Lydia showed off in front of her?


    Riley closed the case. What a genuine act to have bought the same design for both.


    ¡°Striking two birds with one stone?¡±


    What?


    Euan was a little angry, ¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡±


    Riley chose to be silent, it did not matter anyway.


    Still captivated with her beauty, he decided to be honest with his thought. ¡° Allow me to begin, please


    listen and decide after I¡¯ve finished.¡±


    Euan put down his cutlery, looked straight at her, ¡°Riley, I don¡¯t want to divorce, not now, not ever.¡±


    Her heart beating like it was going to explode, she held her breath, the way he called her ¡°Riley¡±, made


    her nervous!


    Euan grabbed one of her hand, ¡°We¡¯ve been together for a long while but yet, I have never told you the


    magic word.¡±


    No¡­ No! NO!


    She shook her head in silence, the way he acted, his intention was clear and she did not want to hear


    it!


    Euan grabbed her hand tightly and said, ¡°I love you. I wasn¡¯t sure how I felt before, but now I am, I love


    you.¡±

 Chapter 104 It Was All My Fault, Let’s Start Over

    Chapter 104 It Was All My Fault, Let¡¯s Start Over


    Riley looked at his deep stares, it was filled with tenderness, unfamiliar yet irresistible!


    When she finally decided to end this meaningless marriage, he confessed his love to her!


    She removed her hand from his, ¡°Mr George, please stop the joke! I¡¯m not a teenager and have way


    past the age for these sweet words.¡±


    Euan was a little angry but he remained calm. He knew there was a lot of misunderstanding between


    them, ¡°I am not joking, I am serious and vow to take responsibility for my words.¡±


    Riley stared at his serious face for a while. ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary, Mr George can confess your love


    to someone else. I don¡¯t love you anymore! Don¡¯t you get it?¡±


    ¡°Bullshit!¡±Euan lost his calm, ¡°You don¡¯t love me any more? Look at me and say it to my face!¡±


    Riley tried hard to control her emotion and tried to ignore what Anika had said, but she couldn¡¯t!


    Riley lowered her head, she looked at the te and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to look at you ever again, let go


    of my hand.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t let go, you are mine, don¡¯t you ever think about going elsewhere.¡± He grabbed her tightly and


    his tone was filled with anger, ¡°You wouldn¡¯t have invited me to your ce and cooked for me if you


    don¡¯t care, won¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°I ¡­¡±


    ¡°You wouldn¡¯t have remembered my favourite dishes if you don¡¯t care, won¡¯t you?¡±


    Riley was speechless. ¡°I ¡­ Those were simple and cheap ingredient!¡±


    Nonsense!


    Euan didn¡¯t know how to respond to her ridiculous excuse. He let loose of his hand and said with a


    gentle tone, ¡°Dr Riley, you are a smart woman, can¡¯t you see I am trying so hard because I want to be


    with you?¡±


    His confession struck Riley¡¯s heart like an invisible sword! She tried so hard to hold her tears back.


    Was fate ying a joke on her?


    I love you¡­


    ''You are no match to my son!You worth nothing!''


    I want to be with you.


    ''If you refused to file for divorce, he will be surrounded with family scandal!''


    Why!!


    The two voices kept repeating in Riley¡¯s mind, both were like sharp knives, dissected her into pieces!


    ¡°I¡¯m tired, exhausted. I¡¯ve had enough for the past three years, it¡¯s time to end this.¡±


    Euan was speechless, it was indeed true, he had not been a proper husband for the past three years.


    He had done things that hurt her. But all he ever wanted now was to love and cherish her for the rest of


    his life.


    ¡°Give me some time, I will redeem my mistake.¡± He grabbed as tight as he could as if he would lose her


    forever if he didn¡¯t.


    He didn¡¯t want to, no, he was afraid to lose her!


    Riley couldn¡¯t hold her tears any longer¡­


    Again, she cried for him!


    Euan became even more nervous when Riley started crying, ¡°Riley¡­ What do you want? I can give


    you anything.¡±


    Riley¡¯s heart had already broken in half, ¡°Please give me my freedom, Euan.¡±


    She closed her eyes and tears kept rolling down her cheeks.


    Within a week! If she refused to divorce, Anika would destroy Euan. Even if she was willing to help him


    again, but scandal remained for life.


    She could never let the man she loved being involved in such a scandal!


    She could shoulder all the darkness.


    Because she loved him.


    Euan felt helpless, he felt like a devil who made the woman he loved in pain!


    He tried to wipe away her tears, but Riley shook her head and moved away from his hand.


    Sadness flew across his heart when she let his handnded in the air.


    ¡°Do you really¡­ don¡¯t love me anymore?¡± He asked, sadly.


    Three years! Never once that he stood by her side, it was her one-sided love that gave her the strength


    to remained strong!


    If she didn¡¯t love him, who did?


    ¡°I¡¯ve made myself very clear.¡±


    The moment Euan loosen his hand, Riley felt as if she had lost this man forever!


    She was exhausted, in pain, hopeless and helpless.


    Euan walked over from the other side of the table, the dinner had stopped.


    He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and frowned, ¡°Both of us need to calm down. It was all


    my fault, let¡¯s forget about the past and start over.¡±


    She shook herself off him. ¡°Scars can never heal. Perhaps you, Mr George can easily forget, but I


    don¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a peaceful split, shall we?¡± she said weakly.


    She had been thinking about divorce, but it was the meeting with Anika that hadpletely taken her


    down, she had copsed.


    She couldn¡¯t hold it anymore.


    ¡°I said, I disagree!¡±


    Riley lowered her head and cried, ¡°Since when did Euan George be clingy? Furthermore, even if


    you refused to sign the paper, we have lived separately for a while and the court will announce our


    divorce automatically.¡±


    Euan pushed the dinner table violently soon as she finished. Dishes and sses were all over the


    ce! He stepped on the broken pieces and hugged her. ¡°Living separately means no sexual life, do


    you want to force me?¡±


    Memories in the house shed back before her, she stared at him coldly, ¡°Let go of me! Get out of my


    house!¡±


    She tried to free herself and ordered him to leave.


    ¡°Riley, I will never let you leave, not today, not ever.¡± His hug became gentler, he wrapped his arms


    around her waist.


    Rileyughed bitterly, ¡°I said get out of here, this is my home, please get out.¡±


    ¡°You should¡¯ve known that I won¡¯t leave easily when you invited me here.¡± She felt his warm breaths on


    her hair and skin.


    She couldn¡¯t control her sadness, tears filled her eyes, ¡°Alright if you won¡¯t leave, I will!¡±


    She was crazy! Crazy enough to had invited him over and cooked him dinner. She was delusional with


    the thought that it would be a peaceful separation.


    Riley Watson, what an idiot!


    Bang!


    Riley walked out and mmed the door behind her!


    Euan was left frozen alone in her home, he seemed extra lonely under the moonlight that shined


    through the window.


    She disappeared from his arms, emptiness and loneliness filled his heart as if he had lost the entire


    world.


    He looked at the gift on the table and suddenly realized the reason why she was angry. This must be


    the same ne Lydia had, but it wasn¡¯t from him.


    ¡°Tell Lydia Saunders to never step a foot into YJ Vi again,¡± Euan ordered Elijah coldly.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Euan was worried about Riley, it was dangerous to drive with unstable emotion, ¡°She had just left,


    wouldn¡¯t have gone far, follow her.¡±


    He hadpletely fallen in love with her.


    She had be the love of his life, it was way beyond a piece of paper to decide.


    She left home in an instant and threw herself into her car. She didn¡¯t know where she was headed but


    kept driving. In the end, she let herself loose and cried herself out.


    She wouldn¡¯t have endured for three years if she wasn¡¯t in love with Euan.


    She reached for her mobile and turned it on.


    After a long while, she sent a text to Anika, ¡°We will be divorced, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Riley was exhausted, she had no energy left to even drive.


    She stopped under a shadyne, sat against the seat to empty her mind.


    Although it is said that marriage is the tomb of love, but had loved ever existed between Euan and her


    all those years?


    Tears rolled down her eyes, the dim light from the streetmp shined on the windshield, shed on her.


    With her eyes filled with tears, she couldn¡¯t see the road ahead, and couldn¡¯t turn back.


    Riley didn¡¯t realize that Euan had been following her from behind since she left home.


    Elijah did not dare to look at his boss. The atmosphere in the car was extremely awkward, he kept


    driving silently.


    What was wrong with him? He was in such a good mood before, he even stopped by at Kerry¡¯s to


    change, what had a dinner meal done to him?


    Euan George looked only in one direction, the image of Riley crying kept shing back in his mind.


    He never realized how powerful her tears were, powerful enough to had his heart torn apart.


    He loved her, this voice is getting stronger and firmer.


    He could not lose her, could not live without her.


    He had finally realized his true feeling.


    Mobile buzzed.


    Riley¡¯s mobile rang. She didn¡¯t n to answer at first but the disyed name ¡°Hendrix¡± made her


    nervous.


    Why would he call? Was he ordered by Euan?


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ¡°Hello?¡±


    Hendrix seemed delighted, ¡°Riley, are you around FH Avenue? I thought I saw your car, was that you?¡±


    Riley did not know which direction she was headed to, but now she realized she had stopped at the


    side of FH Avenue. Not far from here was a street filled with many bars, many came to enjoy clubbing


    and wild nightlife.


    Colourful lights lightened the street and made it looked like the most luxurious street in the area.


    ¡°Yes, it was me¡±. Riley took a breath that mimicked the symptom of a cold.


    There was loud music at Hendrix¡¯s end, he overheard Riley¡¯s nasal tone andughed, ¡°Come over


    Riley, let me buy you drinks, it¡¯s a tremendous boring life to be a doctor, I¡¯m sure you need to loosen up


    and rx, I promise I won¡¯t tell Euan!¡±


    Riley frowned, she did not like bars but she felt like having a few sses tonight to numb the pain.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯m heading home, you go ahead and enjoy.¡±


    ¡°Come on, Riley, you are here once in a blue moon,e join us! I¡¯ll go pick you up, it¡¯s not far from


    here. Five minutes, stay put!¡±

 Chapter 105 Led to A Crisis

    Chapter 105 Led to A Crisis


    Riley was agonized and pinched on the bridge of her nose. Today had been a mess. All she wanted to


    do was just being alone. ¡°I¡¯ve told you there¡¯s no need. Don¡¯te over. I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    Hendrix was disappointed and pursed his lips. His sister-inw¡¯s refusal made him unhappy. But Riley


    was a resolute person. No one could force her to do anything she didn¡¯t want to do.


    ¡°Alright. If you want to have a drink,e and find me. I¡¯ll let my friends go and be with you!¡±


    ¡°Have a good time and just leave me alone.¡± Riley hanged up hurriedly. She didn¡¯t want to get in touch


    with Euan. Even if it was just his brother, she didn¡¯t want to talk much to him.


    Apart from the noisy bars, there were several simple pubs around. They were quiet enough to enjoy for


    a while there.


    She parked the car and walked in a nice and clean pub.


    Elijah saw Riley get out of the car and walk into the pub. He asked in worry, ¡°Boss, shall we follow?¡±


    She must hate to see him after the unpleasant dinner. Euan rolled down the window slowly and


    watched Riley staggering at night. He was filled withplicated feelings, but he couldn¡¯te to hold


    her. ¡°No. We just wait here.¡±


    ¡°OK.¡±


    Elijah seldom saw his boss being so sad. He could tell Euan¡¯s sadness without looking at him.


    There were quite a lot of people in the pub. Some people got drunk alone. Some people were


    mumbling drunken gibberish. Others were weeping out on the phone.


    Riley washed her face in the bathroom and removed her eyeliners. Then a clean and delicate face


    reflected in the mirror.


    But her swollen eyes after crying was obvious without make-up.


    She went back to the hall of the pub and sat on a corner.


    ¡°Mr. George, what are you looking at? What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    Hendrix didn¡¯t answer his friend. He gazed at the dramatic scene.


    What happened? Didn¡¯t she go back home? Why she was here?


    Hendrix was about toe to ask Riley when he saw Euan¡¯s car parking under the tree outside.


    Hendrix wondered if it were his illusion, but he didn¡¯t get drunk today. Then why Riley was drinking


    alone in the pub, while Euan was in the car to watch her? What was going on?


    ¡°Riley!¡±


    Hendrix suddenly came over. He took a chair and ced it between Riley and a strange man, putting


    his hand on Riley¡¯s shoulder with enthusiasm and being naughty like a child.


    Riley was surprised, ¡°Hendrix? You¡­¡±


    Bad luck. Why Hendrix would be in the same ce? Didn¡¯t he like bar? Why he was in a pub? This was


    not his style at all.


    ¡°What a coincidence! Riley, we obviously are families. But why I don¡¯t see Euan? His car seemed to be


    outside.¡±


    Had Euan followed her?


    Riley was too hurt to talk. She took a sip of water, ¡°He¡­¡±


    ¡°You two had a quarrel? Riley, quarrel is not a big deal for a couple. It will be OK soon. If you are not


    happy, you can take a rest in the George''s Mansion. I can go with you!¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t know what to say in front of Hendrix. ¡°Yes, we had a quarrel. Don¡¯t lend a hand in our


    affairs, or your brother might hit you.¡±


    Hendrix grinned and yed with his decorations hanging on him. ¡°Riley, Euan appears to be cold but is


    inwardly warm-hearted. He¡¯s a good man. He seems to be strict and cold to me, but actually he cares


    me a lot. He pays all the expense of my hanging out.¡±


    Being cold outwardly and warm-hearted inwardly? Maybe it was so. But it had nothing to do with her


    anymore.


    ¡°Alright ¡­ Have fun. I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    Riley hadn¡¯t thought that she couldn¡¯t enjoy a moment of her own and even ran into trouble.


    Hendrix grinned, ¡°Euan is just outside. Will you give him a chance?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t lend a hand in adults¡¯ affairs, OK?¡± Riley suddenly asked him to shut up with a sullen tone.


    Hendrix shut up and went to his friends.


    Riley went out of the pub. The breeze blew her hair and dress, which made her look beautiful and yet


    gaunt. She was so vulnerable that Euan wanted to carefully protect her.


    Riley became soberer in the blowing wind. And what happened in front of her was also clearer.


    ¡°Dr. Watson.¡±


    Hearing someone was calling her name, Riley was stunned a bit. She looked around and found that it


    was William who came to her in the wind.


    What was going on tonight?


    ¡°I heard from my colleague that you are in the pub. I¡¯m worried about you, so Ie here.¡± William¡¯s


    gentle voice echoed in the dark.


    Riley felt a warmth in her heart, but she stepped back. ¡°I¡¯m going home.¡±


    Seeing her swollen eyes, William could tell she had a bad night. ¡°I could be with you if you are willing


    to. I¡¯m worried that you might overthink if you were alone.¡±


    It did not make sense even medically when a vulnerable woman met with a passionate and sincere


    man, but Riley still stayed calm and passionless.


    But Riley felt sorry for William, but she just couldn¡¯t ept his gentleness.


    Riley stepped back a little, ¡°I¡¯m fine. It will be OK. Thank you, Mr. Hardesty.¡±


    William could not help himself and he took her hand. He came all the way here and had a lot to tell


    Riley. But obviously, she couldn¡¯t listen to him seriously at this moment. ¡°If you were tired,e to me.


    I¡¯ll be waiting for you.¡±


    Riley wanted to cry. ¡°Thank you ¡­ But sorry, I can¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°Boss, Mrs. George¡­¡±


    Euan¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. He resisted the impulse to get off and kill William, the fire of anger


    burning inside him.


    ¡°Move! Go back!¡±


    It was midnight when Riley came back home. She changed a pair of slippers at the door and hanged


    her bag on the shelf in the hallway. Then she went to the bathroom to take a shower.


    Lydia did not sleep. She had been waiting for Riley. Seeing Riley enter the bathroom, she didn¡¯t turn on


    the light and crept downstairs to the hallway by the light of the outside.


    Lydia looked around to make sure no servant was there.


    She opened Riley¡¯s bag and found the gold card given by Anika as she expected.


    Lydia snickered and shook the card proudly.


    Things went well with the help of Anika. When she gave it to Euan, Riley could not stay here anymore.


    The next day, Riley woke up and found her eyes was as swollen as a bulb.


    How could she go to work with this look? She must beughed at if she did so.


    After a second thought, she rummaged through the contents of the box until she found a pair of


    sses. She had low degree of myopia, so she didn¡¯t wear sses when there was no surgery. It was


    lucky enough that she didn¡¯t lose it.


    The ck-framed sses on her small nose covered nearly half of her face, making her look like a


    delicate college student.


    ¡°Wow, you are pretending to be pitiful. Who do you want to show that look to?¡±


    Lydia¡¯ bold mockery meant that Euan was not at home.


    Riley ignored Lydia. She didn¡¯t eat breakfast, rather, she changed her shoes to go for work.


    ¡®Hubris! Go on with your hubris! I will push you into the hell today!¡¯


    When Riley opened the door, Elijah came over.


    Elijah bowed politely, ¡°Good morning, Mrs. George.¡±


    Riley nodded as her reply.


    Elijah entered with his hand folded in front of him. He said in a polite and firm tone, ¡°Ms. Saunders, Mr.


    George has ordered that you are not allowed to enter this mansion from now on.¡±


    What?


    Riley and Lydia were shocked at the same time.


    Did Euan mean itst night? It should be impossible.


    Lydia shouted suddenly, ¡°Nonsense! I¡¯ll call Euan! I have his child. He can¡¯t do this!¡±


    ¡°Ms. Saunders. This is Mr. George¡¯s order and I need your cooperation.¡±


    Riley watched what happened silently. The scene where Lydia was taken away had been her dull pain.


    She was hurt!


    God, driving a person out indifferently like this was terrifying. Today it was Lydia, but next day would it


    be her turn?


    ¡°Let go! Let me go! I have the child of the George family. Don¡¯t touch me!¡±


    Lydia held the doorknob so hard that her face turned paled. Riley was worried at seeing this. Lydia was


    pregnant and she shouldn¡¯t be so excited.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    ¡°Lydia, sit down. Take care of your child.¡±


    Riley just reminded her, and Lydia immediately wailed with her hands on her belly, ¡°My belly ¡­ It hurts!¡±


    Elijah asked his men to stopped at hearing this.


    Lydia felt so painful that the sweat broke out on her forehead. She slumped onto the sofa with her body


    twisted, ¡°Save ¡­ my child!¡±


    Riley put down her bag and came to Lydia, ¡°Take a deep breath. Don¡¯t worry, listen to me¡­¡±


    ¡°Piss off! You are trying to kill me!¡±


    ¡°Listen, I am a doctor. If you don¡¯t listen to me, your baby will be in danger. You choose what to do!¡±


    Lydia was frightened. She began to follow Riley¡¯s guidance. Riley turned around and scolded, ¡°What


    are you doing here? Call Euan now!¡±


    Riley¡¯s calmness when facing crisis surprised Elijah.


    Twenty minutester.


    Euan came back in a hurry and drove out all the men brought by Elijah. He walked in and saw Riley


    was kneeling at the carpet to do an emergency treatment to Lydia.


    ¡°Lh, hot water!¡±


    ¡°Lydia, inhale. Good, exhale.¡±


    ¡°Sophia, give me a pillow.¡±


    Riley propped Lydia¡¯s thighs up with the pillow to ease the pain of her belly.


    Euan stood in front of the sofa. He saw Lydia¡¯s pale face, and then saw Riley doing her skilled


    treatment.


    Riley¡¯s skill reminded him of Aiden¡¯s words that Riley was a talent and an ace doctor who was enrolled


    in the medical school when she was 16.


    Riley took a deep breath and wiped her sweat on her forehead, ¡°Alright. You were being too excited


    just now. You can¡¯t do that from now on. Don¡¯t worry. The baby is safe.¡±


    Lydia was too hurt to talk, but she was not going to thank Riley at all.


    Lydia looked up and saw Euan standing here silently. His figure shadowed over her.


    Riley put back the medical box. She lowered her head and said, ¡°She was being too excited. You may


    help her upstairs now.¡±


    Euan?


    Lydia opened her eyes with delight on her pale face, ¡°Euan, you ¡­ ah, you¡¯re back.¡±


    Riley held down her belly, ¡°I said don¡¯t be excited!¡±


    Lydia gritted her teeth, ¡°You are a cardiologist. What do you know about obstetrics and gynecology?¡±


    That was ignorant! Every doctor had been in every department when they interned in the hospital. But


    let it be. She didn¡¯t want to argue with an idiot.


    Euan looked at Lydia indifferently. Nothing could be told from his dark eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll carry you up.¡±


    Riley watched them went upstairs. Her legs gave out and she copsed onto the sofa. After kneeling


    for half an hour, she felt her knees ached.


    She had a serious upational disease¡ªshe couldn¡¯t bear to watch her patients suffer.


    But Lydia was different.


    She tugged at Euan¡¯s sleeve as soon as shey down.


    ¡°Euan, I have to tell you something.¡±


    She endured the pain like she was struggling to make herst words.


    ¡°Tell me another day.¡± Euan tucked up Lydia in the summer quilt and stood up.


    ¡°No. I have to tell you now. I can¡¯t watch you be fooled.¡±


    Euan frowned.


    Lydia took out the gold card, ¡°Euan, I found this card unintentionally from Riley. She insisted on


    divorcing because she took Anika¡¯s money!¡±

 Chapter 106 I Would Be Your Real Husband from Now on

    Chapter 106 I Would Be Your Real Husband from Now on


    Riley had not left yet when Euan went downstairs.


    ¡°Wait a minute.¡±


    Euan was being so gentle to Riley that he was nothing like who he used to be, a cold and serious man.


    He put the gold card in his pocket and stayed five meters away from her. Because he didn¡¯t want her to


    be stressful. He could not bear to see her like that.


    Riley stood still. She was in a hurry for work, but she must bete even if she set off right now.


    ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry. Could you¡­¡± she said in a softer tone.


    ¡°Just for a while. I won¡¯t take your much time. Or I can give you a ride to the hospital.¡± Euan was a man


    of words. He took his key right away.


    ¡°No need for this. And you need to go for work, too. Just tell me here.¡±


    There was no quarrel. However, the politeness and courtesy pushed them farther away from each


    other.


    Euan frowned, ¡°Did mom look you up?¡±


    Riley was stunned. She thought that Anika would not tell him about this.


    ¡°Is it true?¡±


    Riley was hesitating and Euan asked her once again.


    No matter what happed, she couldn¡¯t let Euan know what Anika had done. It was too embarrassed if it


    were leaned by others. ¡°Yes, but it¡¯s not a big deal.¡±


    Euan frowned with hidden anger. It was true indeed!


    Riley said it was not a big deal, but he knew Anika must have threatened her in a cruel way. He knew


    his mother well. ¡°She gave you a hard time, did she?¡±


    Riley smiled and shook her head, ¡°She is my mother-inw after all. How could she be bad to me? If


    you juste to me for this, then there¡¯s nothing left to say. I¡¯m going to work.¡±


    Euan ran after her quickly and took her hand in desperation, ¡°No matter what mom had said, maybe ¡­


    Don¡¯t change your mind for anyone or anything. I¡¯ll deal with all the troubles. From now on, try to take


    me as your real husband.¡±


    Riley was shocked and moved. He had been incredibly gentle and tolerant fromst night. He was


    never like this before. The old Euan could not do such a thing.


    Riley suffered more from her mixed feeling.


    ¡°Have you signed the divorce agreement?¡± Riley decided to break the atmosphere now. She couldn¡¯t fit


    in.


    Euan shook his head without hesitation, ¡°No. I tore it up. I¡¯ll tear it up no matter how many times you


    send a new one to me. I said I won¡¯t sign.¡±


    ¡°How could you do that?¡±


    Riley was so angry that she wanted tough.


    Euan was acting like a naughty child. What on earth did he want to do?


    ¡°No way. You can¡¯t change my mind in your way. Whatever you do, I won¡¯t divorce you.¡± He got it


    straight. Riley found it hard to retort.


    If he didn¡¯t want to sign, then it was fine. Riley would find a way in the following days.


    Riley shook his hand off, ¡°I¡¯m going to work.¡±


    Euan suddenly thought of something, ¡°Wait a minute.¡±


    What was wrong with Euan to ask her stay again?


    Euan took out a gold card from his Hermes wallet. It was his secondly card, that was to say, it could be


    swiped at will and would not be overdrawn.


    ¡°Take it. You can swipe this card to buy whatever you want.¡± Euan was afraid that Riley would not


    ept it, so he prised her fingers directly and put it in her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t you want a divorce? Don¡¯t you


    want to make good use of me once more before the divorce? I have nothing but money. So don¡¯t


    hesitate to use it.¡±


    If they were not in an embarrassed rtionship, Riley would haveugh out. Because Euan was being


    too warm and lovely at this moment.


    ¡°You agree to divorce?¡± she got to the point.


    ¡°That depends on your performance,¡± he punned.


    Alright. Riley felt her life was going to change because there were always some people who wanted to


    give her moneytely.


    Riley put the card into her bag and was about to went out.


    But Euan help her back again, which made Riley speechless.


    ¡°Take it. It¡¯s the car I just brought. You are the owner, and it belongs to you from now on. Now that you


    want to divorce, you should treat yourself well. What you have decides what kind of man you will meet.¡±


    Didn¡¯t Euan feel wrong with his words?


    Riley took a look at the logo on the key. It was Maybach!


    She must be judged if she as a doctor drove such a luxury car of several million.


    ¡°No. My car is good enough.¡± Riley couldn¡¯t take it.


    Euan frowned, ¡°Good enough? Go and take a look of it. I hit your car identally when I reversed the


    car just now. It was fault. Your car has broken down.¡±


    Riley was speechless.


    Fine! Then she would take the key as long as he agreed to get a divorce.


    Riley suddenly became rich after she took the card and the key.


    Watching Riley leave, Euan put his hands in his pocket and felt relieved. He gave her enough money


    so that she wouldn¡¯t be tempted by money.


    He gave her a good car so that the normal hoody did not dare to bother her.


    He dignified her so that she would not be chased by other men easily.


    Riley would never know about his thoughts.


    Euan took out his phone and wanted to ask Anika directly. But if he did so, Anika must think that Riley


    number¡­


    Maybach was much better than normal cars. Riley only took a few minutes to get used to this automatic


    car. She felt much better when driving.


    Although it was a good car, she waste for tens of minutes.


    Riley went back to her office after the ward rounds. She heard the urgent sound of high heels. It was an


    intern doctor who ran over.


    She handed a testing report to Riley, ¡°Dr. Watson, this is the patient¡¯s testing report sent over early this


    morning. Please have a look.¡±


    A patient early this morning?


    Riley did not think she had arranged such a test. ¡°What¡¯s the result?¡±


    Obviously, the intern was not familiar with clinical test. She fumbled for words, ¡°Well ¡­ I found a lot of


    red blood cells in the urine and I could only see three white blood cells under a microscope.¡±


    Riley strode as she listened to the report. A urine test and a blood test? This was not the patient of


    cardiology. Obviously, the intern had mistaken.


    Riley did not stop her, ¡°And what else?¡±


    The intern continued, ¡°Thrombosis and peristalsis are normal. But the patient loses weight quickly and


    even has hematuria. However, after inquiry, I leant that he doesn¡¯t feel any pain at all.¡±


    Riley stopped and looked at the girl with sweat on her forehead. She looked down and saw the girl¡¯s


    name tag. It showed that the girl was in the oncology department. ¡°Elena Jones, a doctor is not a


    machine for reporting. Do you know the diagnosis ording to the report?¡±


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Elena said in a trembling voice, ¡°Maybe ¡­ maybe it is a cancer.¡±


    Riley nodded at the girl to continue.


    ¡°Kidney malignant tumor, or dder cancer, or prostate cancer ¡­ all is possible.¡±


    Riley nodded again, ¡°Yes. It can be diagnosed as cancer. So go and find his doctor in charge to make a


    detailed description.¡±


    Elena was stunned, ¡°Aren¡¯t you his doctor?¡±


    Riley turned around and showed her work card, ¡°What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m so sorry. I got the wrong person. They said it¡¯s a young and beautiful woman doctor. I thought


    you are the one.¡±


    The intern ran away hurriedly. Riley put on a bitter smile with her eyebrows frowned.


    ¡°A young and beautiful woman doctor. It seems you are the spokesperson for that.¡±


    William came over from god knew where. He smiled after he saw what happened just now.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, why you are here?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ming for a meeting in the internal medicine. I didn¡¯t expect that Dr. Watson knows about cancer


    so well.¡±


    He didn¡¯t expect that Riley could talk to an intern in such a cool way.


    Riley was surprised that William could talk with her as if nothing had happened. She did not feel


    ¡°I just know a little about it.¡± Riley wanted to go away.


    She was not afraid of intractable diseases, but she was afraid of human rtionships.


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty, here is the meeting room!¡±


    The chief physician ahead waved at William, so he quickened his steps to move forward.


    Seeing William leave, Riley was at a loss. Euan was all over her mind and she nearly mistook William


    for Euan.


    Riley went back to her office. Serena snickered when she saw Riley, ¡°Dr. Watson, the audit team is


    ¡°What?¡± Riley asked as she turned on theputer to read the materials of her patients.


    ¡°The application for a listing of the university hospital. Mr. Hardesty and you are going to join together


    to check the instruments. You won¡¯t forget about it, will you?¡±


    But Riley did forget about it because too many things happened on hertely.


    Teddy kept his head down and didn¡¯t speak. He held the pen so tight that it was almost broken.


    Margot joked, ¡°Dr. Watson, when is Mr. Hardesty going to propose? I¡¯m looking forward to seeing you


    two go to the front together.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Hardesty and I are just colleagues and nothing more than this. Don¡¯t gossip about our


    rtionship.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not gossiping about you. Someone saw you drive a Maybach to work. It must be given by Mr.


    Hardesty. Now that he gave you a car, he must be going to propose to you next time.¡±


    There was a ck.


    Teddy broke the pen in his hand.


    Riley frowned, ¡°The car is not given by him.¡±


    ¡°Then who gave it to you? A Maybach Quattroporte worth nearly five million. It is not yours, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Riley kept frowning, ¡°It¡¯s my friend¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°Come on, you should tell the truth. What you do is actually making it known by burying it. Now Dr.


    Watson is going to be a multimillionaire. We should be ashamed of ourselves.¡±


    Riley ignored their whines and went on with her business.


    She looked at the duty roster and found she should be on duty tonight.


    After work in the afternoon, when Riley finished a simple supper, her phone rang.


    To her surprise, it was Teddy.


    ¡°Dr. Watson, could youe to the top floor. I want to ask you some professional questions.¡±


    Riley didn¡¯t think much, ¡°OK.¡±


    She went to the top floor directly and saw Teddy was standing by the railings and facing outside.


    It was about six o¡¯clock in early summer. It was not dark yet, the setting sun still hanging above the


    western roof.


    The cool wind was quite strong on the top floor.


    ¡°Dr. Pearson, what do you want ask about?¡±


    Teddy turned around and saw Riley in white dress standing in the light. She was as beautiful as a fairy.


    ¡°Dr. Watson!¡±


    Suddenly, Teddy ran to Riley and held her into his arms.


    ¡°Dr. Pearson, what are you doing? Let go of me!¡±


    Riley was shocked and blushed. She managed to free herself from his arms.


    But Teddy held her tight. He was breathless with excitement, ¡°Dr. Pearson, I love you. I you so much!¡±


    What?


    Riley widened her eyes, ¡°Calm down, Dr. Pearson. Can you let go of me?¡±


    ¡°No, I won¡¯t let you go. I¡¯ve been loving you since the very first day you came to the hospital. But you


    are just too good ¡­ I¡¯ve been trying hard to catch up with you. But you keep going further away from


    me and I can do nothing but love you secretly!¡±


    ¡°Now, you are going to be with Mr. Hardesty and I ¡­ I hate to see this! I hate it!¡±


    Riley cked out. What was it all about?


    ¡°Dr. Pearson, this is the top floor. Be careful!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve made up my mind. I don¡¯t have the chance to be with you anymore, so ¡­ so, Riley, let¡¯s die


    together! Jump down and then we could be together forever!¡±
