After three years of marriage, she was suddenly caught in bed by her husband...
View MoreZoey tried to open the door, but it was stuck. Jerome had found a small switchblade. Zoey’s heart pounded. He wants to kill me! He held it by the blade, and handed it to Zoey by the handle. \"Kill me. If you want to leave, just step over my corpse. This way, I will be free! \" Zoey began to panic. \"It\'s against the law to kill! Jerome, I\'m not as crazy as you are. Let me go!” Without warning, he plunged the blade into his belly! \"I made your life hell. It\'s my fault that I believed Xyrille. It’s my fault I neglected you. Everything was my fault!\" He pulled it out and stabbed himself again. \"Ruirui needs a mother more than he needs me.\" Zoey was so scared. She desperately wanted to pull out the knife and take it from him, but she knew the blood would gush out if she did. \"Jerome, stop it!\" Jerome began to stagger back. He pulled the knife out and stabbed himself again
A month later, Zoey was packing up and preparing to leave the hospital. Landon sat in a wheelchair. She straightened him as he couldn’t support himself. Dr. Gao had spoken to him earlier. \"Mr. Shi, I have contacted the experts in the United States. I have a lot of research on paralysis cases. I believe that you have a chance at regaining the use of your legs.\" After the accident that day, he recovered, but he was initially told that he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair due to his spinal cord injury. He felt depressed, and was often grumpy. Zoey packed up and said with a smile. \"Don\'t be angry. I have checked, the success rate of surgery was really high. You can rest assured that no matter what happens, I will always be here for you.” Landon leaned on the wheelchair with one hand on his thigh. \"Zoey, think.” Landon stared at her for a while and then asked, \"Can you really leave Ruirui? Jerome, can you leave him behind?\
Just like the newspaper, she angrily tore it up. When she thought of calling Jerome, she saw that her mobile phone was inundated with notifications from social media. Screaming, she smashed the mobile phone on the wall. Zoey! All this started when Zoey came back. In the aftermath, it was ironic that Jerome’s business didn’t suffer. His executives were able to turn the scandal into an opportunity. Jerome stopped coming to his office and began to stay in the empty baby room. He would sit there, staring at the empty crib. He kept thinking about Zoey, from when she was still his wife to when he apologized to her and she slapped him. Every time he thought about it, he would have difficulty breathing. He wanted to go to their apartment and ask her. Are you really in love with Landon? Can’t you give me another chance? He imagined her reply: No way! over my dead body! Don’t you remember how you humiliated me and distrusted me? R
Though he had obviously planned all of this, the one thing he could not plan for was her response. Soon, the reporters began to ask questions. The photographers seemed to take pleasure in taking pictures of him kneeling. All the flashbulbs going off, all the people asking questions, and finally seeing Jerome’s expectant face. Zoey\'s brain was about to explode! She could never have imagined such a scene. A month ago, she had even injured Ruirui! She suddenly understood that Jerome had insisted on her coming to the wedding because he’d been planning this all along. All of a sudden, Zoey stood and walked towards Jerome. She slowly squatted down and raised her slender fingers, as if to caress his face. Landon’s heart sank. Everyone held their breath, except for the photographers. She slapped him. Landon\'s heart jumped to his throat. He had thought she was going to touch Jerome’s face and tell him that she had forgiven him,
Thelma was now crying, \"Mr. Fu, reporters, Xyrille wanted to get rid of me, and in fact, she had spent money to hire a killer to take me out. For more than a month, I have been hiding. This is the only way I could think of to ensure my safety!” \"Nonsense! You’re lying!” Xyrille was now on the verge of breaking down. She tried to grab Jerome, but he stepped back and she fell forward. He looked at Xyrille with disappointment and suspicion. \"You’re saying this poor old woman,” he gestured at the crying Thelma, “is making up stories right here, right on my wedding day? She sneaked in here, risking getting arrested, risking getting hurt, just to…lie to me? \"Yes! She’s lying!\" Xyrille screamed. \"You paid someone to murder Ms. Xu!\" \"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” Xyrille’s voice had gotten so shrill. \"Xyrille!\" She spun around. A youthful-looking man, dressed in a suit, was now walking towards her. “What about ou
\"Mr. Shi!\" Someone called out to him in the crowd. It was Mr. Zhang. “The future Mrs. Shi is so beautiful today! Just between the three of us,” he whispered comically, “even more so than the bride, I should say...\" It was just banter, but standing behind them was Jerome, who had been listening in for a bit. He agreed, his ex-wife was indeed much more beautiful than he had pictured. Zoey blushed. \"Oh, don’t say that, even if it’s just a joke. Today, Mr. Fu and his bride are having their big day. Today they are the most handsome and most beautiful.\" \"Oh, don\'t be modest!\" The man continued with a smile. He frowned and asked suspiciously, \"I’ve always thought your looks familiar, I just can’t quite place it. Are you a model, or perhaps an artist? I’m sure I’ve met you before.” \"Mr. Zhang, I\'m just a---\" \"Mr. Zhang!\" Before Zoey had finished her sentence, a strong voice suddenly rang out from behind them. Jerome held a goblet o
He wanted so bad to tell her. She wouldn’t allow him to touch her, but he had seen her cry and hug Landon. She really wanted to move on from him. In her mind, she was afraid of him, but also pitied him. His offer was quite desperate, and it did not sound like him at all. She knew him well, he was cunning and intelligent. Whatever made him think that she would separate from Landon because he wanted to separate from Xyrille? Truth be told, she now saw him as a despicable man, and she could not even remember why she had liked him so much when she was younger. His character was questionable. Have you forgotten how you treated me? What you’ve done to the Xu family? A flame spread through Jerome\'s heart. He wanted to tell her about everything, about Xyrille, about their son. However, he didn’t think he should tell her now. Jerome didn’t seem to have anything else to say. Zoey picked up the medicine that had fallen on the ground and turned back. Before l
The next day, around five o\'clock, Zoey woke up from yet another dream. The rainstorm had subsided. She turned over, but she couldn\'t sleep. She stood up, brushed her teeth, and opened the refrigerator to get a bottle of cold water. She had developed a taste for ice-cold water during the time she had spent abroad. It wasn’t time for her medicine yet, but she wanted to be ready with it. She liked to take it with ice-cold water, because the medicine made her body feel hot. Not far away, a tall figure was stood there like a sculpture, motionless and wet. All around him were debris from last night’s thunderstorm. Occasionally, a cleaner passed him and tried to talk to him, but he merely nodded politely. He said nothing. Zoey rummaged around for her medicine box. It was nowhere in sight. Had she left it in her car? Not having her medicine with her made her very uncomfortable, and she briefly considered waking Landon up so he could accompany her there
Zoey was about to go upstairs when she suddenly spun around. She looked around, as if searching for something that had caught her attention. There was no one there. Landon seemed suspicious. He imagined him asking her, \"What\'s the matter?\" He couldn’t hear a word they were saying. He was too far from them. Maybe she felt his presence, Jerome thought. Can people sense it when they’re being watched from afar? Landon led her upstairs. He asked the nurse to cook a bowl of ginger soup for her, fearing that she might catch a cold. Zoey could feel Landon\'s love for her. They went to the same school, but they had an awkward encounter when he had confessed to her that he liked her, and she could not reciprocate his feelings. Then a year ago, he had saved her life and cared for her. His feelings for her were real. When she was feeling better, she began to fall in love with him and they started dating.
