A few days later, Eleanor's surgery was scheduled, and one of the world's top cardiac surgeons was invited.Samuel told Isabella, "For this type of surgery, the general success rate domestically is around 80%. However, Professor Mason is my mentor, and his cardiac repair surgery is top-notch internationally, with no failed cases. You're very lucky; he happens to be in Ithaca town for an exchange, and only after numerous requests did he agree to perform the surgery for your mother.""Samuel, thank you, really thank you so much," Isabella said excitedly, grabbing his hand.However, Samuel seemed to have touched an electric switch and immediately withdrew his hand.He and Andrew had known each other since childhood. Although Andrew was sometimes mysterious, Samuel understood him somewhat. Andrew was extremely protective, and if he found out that Samuel had touched his woman's hand, he might just cut off his claws."Well, as a doctor, no need to thank me. Go back and take care of the pati

"You even remember my birthday?" Isabella expressed some surprise.When Isabella gave birth to Asher, Andrew had seen her medical records, which included her date of birth. He had an exceptional memory and remembered it clearly. However, due to recent trivial matters, he had momentarily overlooked it.Isabella tilted her chin slightly, her eyes gathering the moonlight outside the window, filled with a faint coldness and sadness."I am as unlucky as ever. On my tenth birthday, Charlotte and her daughters showed up, and my mom and dad got divorced. On my eighteenth birthday, I slept with the wrong man. On my twentieth birthday, I was wrongly accused of being a mistress. Perhaps, my birth was a mistake.""Mistake? A beautiful mistake." Andrew smiled, reaching out to stroke her head, his posture almost indulgent. "Don't overthink it. Everything has its meaning."His palm moved from the top of her head to the tips of her hair, with water droplets in his palm.After washing, Isabella didn't

In my impression, although Isabella comes from a wealthy background, she has never adorned herself with ostentatious jewelry, presumably because she doesn't like it."Well, then gift her some sexy lingerie; it's the best gift. Although it's given to a woman, the one who ultimately benefits is you," Ryan said, wearing a lecherous grin.Andrew's gaze grew colder, his deep blue eyes lowering as he opened the files on the table. "There's nothing; you can leave.""..." Ryan felt like he had been taken apart and dismembered. "Alright, Alpha."At the same time, Isabella's car had already stopped in front of the Harris family villa.Even the weather was not favorable; halfway through the drive, it started to rain.A chilly autumn rain, she opened the car door, and a chill hit her face.Instinctively, she raised her eyes, looking at the villa in the wind and rain. The few steps in front of the building seemed to exude a sense of chilliness.And on the steps stood a tall man.At the same time,

"Aunt, please don't have the secretary write a check for now. That piece of land is worth twenty million. I'm afraid of carrying such a large check; it might get lost."At this point, Charlotte had already opened her handbag and took out a check. The amount on the check was only one million. This was the price of that piece of land twenty years ago, and she didn't intend to redeem it at its current market value.Isabella's words caused a slight crack in Charlotte's perfect smile. She awkwardly stuffed the check back into her bag.Emily stood on the side, her eyes red with anxiety. In her view, Mrs. Brown didn't favor her because she didn't have as substantial a dowry as Isabella.Isabella ignored them and turned to David, "Dad, your old classmates and colleagues all know that the land deed of the ancestral house is in my mom's name. If you use your ex-wife's things as a dowry for your stepdaughter, it will only make people laugh. Besides, Brown family doesn't insist on that piece of l

Mrs. Brown was Eleanor's best friend in her lifetime. She almost fainted in front of Eleanor's photo."Eleanor, why did you leave so suddenly? I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye... I haven't even seen you for the last time...""Auntie, crying too much is harmful. If my mom knows, she will also be uneasy." Isabella supported Mrs. Brown's arm. Her voice was calm but very hoarse.Mrs. Brown grabbed her hand, choked up and asked, "Did your mom leave any instructions before she passed away?"Isabella shook her head, "She left in a hurry, I didn't even have a chance to see her for the last time."Her eyes were slightly red, tears welling up in her eyes.At this, Mrs. Brown burst into tears again.James had been accompanying her, but a few words of comfort didn't work. So, he had to say to Isabella, "My mom hasn't been well lately. I'll take her home first. If you need any help, just let me know."She nodded, faintly said, "Thank you." But in reality, she would never contact James. A
