It was as if the wheels inside Xyrille\'s head began turning. Thelma was relieved to see that Xyrille was scheming. She could not allow her mistress to let her emotions get the best of her. If Zoey can\'t let her be happy with her husband, then Ruirui will have to make up for what his mother has taken from her! \"What about the blood transfusion? Have you seen to it that they clean that information up?\" Thelma smiled. \"Oh, you\'re lucky, your blood type is the same as Zoey\'s. Unless it\'s a DNA test, it\'s impossible to tell.\" Xyrille was now in better spirits, to Thelma\'s relief. Neither woman was alerted to the fact that someone had been standing at the door of the restroom, and had eavesdropped on the entire conversation. The person quietly slipped away. Jerome was standing in the administrator\'s office, looking at the film of Ruirui\'s head scans. He stood by the window. Suddenly, his assistant rushed in. \"Mr. Fu!\"
Although Jerome loved his son, he wasn’t able to express his feelings for him. Though he would often see parents his age holding their children, kissing and cuddling them, he himself could not. He had not been raised this way. But Ruirui has always been affectionate towards him. Whenever Jerome comes home, Ruirui will cling to his neck and refuse to let go. Whenever he’d leave, it seemed, Ruirui would get upset. Upon becoming a father, he should have slowed down the pace of his career and focused more on raising his son. Thinking of this, he gently took up Ruirui small hand and gently kissed it. He whispered, \"Son, don\'t worry, Dad will never let anyone hurt you. \"I promise I will spend more time with you,\" he said to his sleeping son. He squeezed his son’s little hand. \"Dad will take you to play ball games, teach you to ride a horse. We’ll get you games, and books, and we’ll travel to many places...and have so much fun...\" He had no
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.
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
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
\"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
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
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,
