“Where’s your medicine cabinet? I’ll get some cotton, disinfectant, and adhesive bandages to treat your wound.” At first, when she fell, Victoria didn’t feel anything. However, now that Ethan had carried her home and she sat on the sofa for a while, the pain suddenly came. But because she wanted to appear strong and not show her weakness in front of him, she could only endure the pain and point toward the medicine cabinet next to the kitchen. “It’s over there, it has everything you need!” Following the direction she pointed, Ethan spotted the neatly arranged medicine cabinet and quickly retrieved the necessary medical supplies. After treating her wound, he embraced her again and placed her in the bedroom. Carefully covering her with a blanket, Ethan gave her some instructions before planning to leave. However, Victoria suddenly grabbed his hand, a pleading look in her eyes. “Can... can you stay with me tonight? I’m... I’m a little scared!” Feeling her trembling hands, Ethan hesi
"Son-in-law, have you arrived?" Upon entering the hospital, Ethan saw his mother-in-law's forced smile directed at him. He was momentarily at a loss for words, his face stiffening slightly. Fortunately, at that moment, Melanie emerged from the patient's room. Seeing the two looking at each other silently, she started a conversation. "Ethan, your timing couldn't be better. The doctor told me someone must go downstairs to handle the discharge paperwork. Moreover, my supervisor called and said that after today's meeting, the company would hold a party. It's a celebration of my return and a chance to mingle with the new boss!" Seeing Melanie's beaming smile, Ethan couldn't help but feel as though he was taken back to the time when they first met. Back then, although there was a lingering unease in her heart that couldn't be unraveled, and he was in a difficult situation, the two had an unspoken connection, never revealing their sadness to the world. They even had many joyful moments t
The two of them got into a taxi parked near the hospital gate. After driving for more than ten minutes, the cab stopped in front of a commercial building in the city center. Ethan got out first, carefully opened the car door for his wife, and then took a 100 dolla bill from his pocket, handed it to the taxi driver, and walked with his wife inside. However, as they entered the main entrance of the commercial center, two men were coming down the stairs. Usually, Ethan wouldn’t have paid attention, but they were just about to go upstairs. Seeing these two men, Ethan’s face changed, and Melanie also looked displeased. Because both of these men were very familiar, moreover, one of them was the person Ethan had ordered to be expelled from the city just the day before. But for some reason, this guy was still here. And the two of them seemed pretty close. “Ah, isn’t this our great son-in-law? Didn’t you write your resignation letter just a few days ago? Today, you brought your wife here.
Hearing Victoria's tone, Albert was furious, but he dared not argue. He could only direct all his resentment toward Ethan. "You scoundrel, if it weren't for you, how could I lose face like this? You wait for me!" Ethan couldn't know any of this. At this point, he found himself in a complicated situation because Melanie was looking at him with eyes filled with resentment. Knowing that Melanie had undoubtedly discovered the matter between him and Victoria, Ethan could only smile bitterly, walked up to his wife, and said: “Honey, how about I take you to my workplace? Your injuries haven't healed completely, and I think I can only be at ease if I take you to my workplace!" "No need!" As soon as Ethan finished speaking, Melanie immediately rejected his words. Moreover, she deliberately brushed off her husband's hand and looked at him angrily. Victoria was not about to show any weakness either. She moved closer to Ethan and smiled, saying: “Ethan, why don't you let your wife go to wor
"What did you say?" Upon hearing Toshan's demand, Victoria's face changed. Bang! "What did you just say?" At that moment, Victoria's office door was kicked open, and a young man with a furious expression appeared, glaring at Toshan. Seeing Toshan standing outside earlier, Ethan felt suspicious of his intentions. Unable to contain himself, he eventually turned back. Under normal circumstances, Ethan wouldn't have been able to hear the conversation inside the office. After all, Victoria's workspace was well-soundproofed. Moreover, Toshan's voice was not loud. However, since acquiring the Artificial Superintelligence System's support, Ethan's physical constitution and sensory abilities have far surpassed those of ordinary people. So when he overheard Toshan's conversation with Victoria, he couldn't hold back and burst through the door. At that moment, both Toshan and Victoria were utterly stunned by Ethan's sudden appearance. "What did I say? Haven't you heard it all? Do I need to
Seeing Melanie's extremely agitated face and the gazes of the nurses looking at him, Ethan found himself in a difficult situation. He didn't know why his wife had suddenly become like this. But recalling the doctor's advice, Ethan could only give a forced smile, stepping back while saying. "Alright, don't be angry. I'll go outside!" After saying that, Ethan turned around and left. But at that moment, Melanie's voice still followed him. "Get out! Just get away with your lover. I will never forgive you, and I don't want to see you ever again! Sob, sob..." Hearing these words, Ethan couldn't help but stop in his tracks. But at that moment, his mother-in-law happened to arrive. She seemed to have heard her daughter's voice, so her gaze toward Ethan was angry. "You scoundrel, what have you done to my daughter? Why has she become like this?" As she spoke, she raised her hand, intending to slap Ethan's face. Initially, with his current ability, his mother-in-law's slap wouldn't hav
Witnessing this scene, Arlo’s face darkened. However, before he could speak, a bodyguard couldn’t hold back, stepping forward and shouting: “You scoundrel! Do you even know who you just talked to? Stand there, kneel, and apologize to my master immediately!” Seeing the bodyguard approaching, Ethan didn’t hold back at all. He directly kicked him, sending the man flying. Simultaneously, his gaze shifted back towards Arlo: “What now? Arlo, are you trying to stop us?” This time, it wasn’t Ethan who spoke but Victoria herself. Arlo’s face turned a mix of red and green, and he didn’t let his bodyguard continue to advance. However, he couldn’t help but utter a few words: “Regardless of your relationship with this man, you will become my woman. Moreover, I don’t care who he is, if he dares to take something I wants, he will surely meet a tragic end!” Ethan paid no heed to Arlo’s threat. He waved his hand and left with Victoria in his embrace: “Young master...” After the couple had left, th
At this point, police sirens suddenly echoed outside the hotel. A black patrol car quickly pulled up. The first person to step out of the car was a tall female police officer in a striking blue uniform. Then, three more police officers got out of the car. But Ethan's gaze was fixed on the first female officer. "Who called the police just now?" At this moment, the one who spoke up was the beautiful female police officer from the city's mobile police team. She was familiar with Ethan, as she was Audrey, who had been causing him trouble for the past few days. "It... it was me!" Upon hearing the female officer's inquiry, a security guard from inside the hotel hurriedly ran out and explained the situation that had just occurred to her. After listening to the guard's account, Audrey couldn't help but glance toward a corner of the hotel hallway. Upon seeing Ethan standing with Victoria, her eyes flashed a strange light. She then quickly moved towards Ethan. "It's you again?" Ethan f
