“Didn’t you notice anything wrong when they changed the way they addressed her?” River. looked at him speechlessly.
Kenny mumbled, “I thought it was on a mere moment of impulse and didn’t think much of it. Does
Noah know about this?”
“Yes” River took a sip of her orange juice. “Jamie doesn’t want to go with him.”
“Oh, even his own mother doesn’t want to go back with him. I guess he really isn’t a good person.” Kenny pouted.
“Don’t take it out of context. There are some things you don’t know
“That’s right!” Before River could finish, Liorn suddenly said, “Don’t keep calling Daddy a scumbag.”
Everyone, except Jamie, looked at Liora in shock.
After saying that, Liora took a bite of the chicken wing and looked at everyone innocently. “Why are you guys staring at me?”
Tyler reached out to hold Liora’s face and asked, “Lia? Are you switching sides?”
Liora snorted and slapped Tyler’s hand away. She blinked quiltily. “No, no 1–I just think he’s not that bad Ty, he saved Mommy. And he’s still lying in the hospital now”
Kenny widened his eyes and looked at River. “He saved you? What happened? Why don’t I know anything about this?”
River explained everything that had happened to Kenny.
Kenny’s expression changed from fear to astonishment. “Wow! He saved you again!”
As he spoke, Kenny counted on his fingers. “In that case, he seems to have saved you five times!”
“Four times, to be precise. River corrected. “One of those times, he abandoned me on a mountain.
Kenny stroked his chin thoughtfully. Well, all those previous times don’t really count because he was the one who put you in danger first, right? But this time, it’s different. I didn’t expect him to care about you so much.”
After Kenny finished speaking, he felt he had misspoken “G, Im not speaking up for him I’m just offering an objective analysis.”
River nodded. “I understand.”
She remembered every single incident so vividly, but what was the point of saying all this now? She would rather not have a relationship where she wasn’t respected and trusted!
Her three children, who were sitting side by side opposite of her, were stunned. Their scumbag father had actually saved their mother so many times?
After dinner, Jamie played with the children.
When it was time for bed, River urged the children to go upstairs to sleep. After helping them with their bedtime routines and tucking them in, River realized that Jamie was still sitting in front of the Lego set.
She walked to Jamie’s side and sat down. “Jamie, aren’t you going to sleep?”
Jamie shook her head and stared at the Lego pieces, lost in thought. “I want to finish building the final roof for the children.”
River couldn’t help but laugh. “Jamie, you won’t finish that roof in one night. It will probably take at least three or four days.
Jamie was surprised, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. “Will it really take that long? I wanted to give the children a surprise.”
River took Jamie’s hand and said, “Yes, it will take a while. So, can we go upstairs and rest for now? We have to go to the company together tomorrow, and I don’t want to sleep too late.”
Jamie looked at River pleadingly. “River, Dr. Bailey has left, and I don’t want to sleep alone.”
River smiled “Alright, you can sleep with me.”
Jamie smiled immediately and held River’s hand tightly. “Okay, let’s go upstairs!”
At 10:00 p.m. in a coffee shop.
Daniella sat in a private room with a reporter. She had her sunglasses on.
She sipped her coffee casually and said. “So that’s what happened.”
The reporter tapped away on his laptop and said, “Ms. Love, let me summarize it again. You said, the mother of MK’s CEO, Noah De Marco, was a diplomat. After marrying Draco De Marco, she even seduced Casey De Marco. This caused Casey De Marco to fly overseas to hide his embarrassment, and he lived there for more than ten years.
Daniella put down the cup unhappily. “What about the most important part?”
The reporter smiled and said, “Ms. Love, don’t be anxious. I know you want me to bring TYC’s CEO into this, but we have to be careful not to slander anyone and risk being sued. After all, these two are two separate matters.”
Daniella sneered. “It all boils down to money, right?”
The reporter replied, “While it might sound harsh, that’s the reality.”
Daniella said, “Enough with the ugly truth. Tell me, how much money do you want, and when can this be published?”
The reporter replied, “At the latest, it can be published within a week.”
“It better be sooner. I don’t like waiting. Is 100,000 dollars enough?”
The reporter hurriedly agreed, “It’s more than enough.”
After receiving the money, the reporter extended his hand to Daniella and said, “Ms. Love, it was a pleasure working with you.”
Daniella glanced at him disdainfully, then picked up her bag and left.
At the hospital ward
Noah lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
He held on tightly to his phone. To his dismay, he had not received any messages. He couldn’t fathom just how heartless and ruthless River had become. She had left without even acknowledging him..
He was still nursing the injuries she had caused. Was asking for a simple message to check on him too much?
Enduring the pain in his chest, Noah propped himself up. Annoyed, he picked up his phone and searched for River’s chat contact.
He angrily typed a message: [Are you asleep?]
After waiting for a long time, Noah still did not receive any reply from River.
Noah was infuriated and immediately sent another message: [River, do you still have a conscience?]
After sending the message, he angrily threw his phone onto the bed.
Just then, Reuben had just entered the room. When he saw this scene, he was so frightened he trembled.
His employer was in an extremely bad mood today. He kept checking on his phone as he vetted some work documents. Whenever he saw no incoming messages, he would throw the documents on the floor.
It was so obvious that Noah was waiting for River’s message.
Reuben approached Noah silently.
Noah looked at him coldly and asked, “What has River been up to all day?!”
Reuben gulped. “Mr. De Marco, Ms. Healy spent the entire day at her company today. Then, she brought the children home. The doctor who has been taking care of Madam took leave and left, 50 Ms. Healy has been busy taking care of Madam and the three children all on her own.”
Noah’s anger gradually dissipated. Perhaps she was too busy, and it was getting–late now. Maybe she had fallen asleep.
At the thought of this, Noah picked up his phone and wanted to delete the messages he had sent However, it was too late to delete them
Regret welled up within him as he sent another message: (Have a good sleep!]
The next morning, River woke up to find three messages from Noah.
All three messages seemed to be sent in anger, and it left her feeling exasperated. Why did he say she didn’t have a conscience? Was it because she didn’t visit him yesterday?
River’s good mood was completely ruined, and she started typing her response to Noah’s messages with annoyance.
st ten people, including nurses. She hadn’t expected Noah to go to such lengths for Lily.
River: [I don’t have a conscience? Why don’t you take care of this family then?]
After replying. River got up and washed up.
As she finished brushing her teeth, she received a message from Noah.
Noah: [Last night, I went overboard with my words]
River conceded upon seeing his message. She hadn’t originally intended to reply, but then she noticed the typing indicator on the screen. She decided to wait and see what he would send next.
About a few minutes later, she received another message.
Noah. [What are you busy with today?]
River sighed.
River: What exactly are you trying to say?]
Noah’s face darkened when he saw the message. Wasn’t he being clear enough?
He suppressed his frustration and replied: [Won’t you come to the hospital today?]
River leaned against the sink, feeling exasperated as she typed her response
River: [You want me to come to the hospital just so we can argue again? And listen to you say nonsensical things?]
Noah countered back: [Have you forgotten who’s responsible for my injuries?]
