“Where’s Glenn?” Yvonne asked as she and Victor approached Hazel, who was already sitting and waiting at the café where they had arranged to meet.“He’s taking Sean and his grandmother to Ms. Eugene’s place.”Yvonne only nodded briefly, then took a seat. Victor immediately started flipping through the menu, feeling very hungry.“They’re going to stay there? It seems Eagertown isn’t suitable for Sean,” Victor commented.Hazel sighed softly. “It might be too noisy here.”“Some people just don’t feel comfortable living in the city, Hazel. It doesn’t mean they don’t like being with you.”“I know.” Hazel only nodded wearily.Hazel felt dizzy and her stomach was uneasy, but she forced herself to meet Yvonne and Victor because she wanted to discuss the charity. Yvonne was going to provide a report on the funds that had been allocated and where they had been sent, including to Ms. Eugene’s place.However, Hazel didn’t want to talk about that at all; she just wanted to lie down in bed.“Hazel?
The effects of the COVID-19 virus had completely vanished in Eagertown, and everyone had returned to their normal activities without worry. Glenn’s company had become more renowned, producing vaccines not only for COVID-19 but for other diseases as well. Glenn was very busy, but he always made time for Hazel.Glenn had just left the hospital after accompanying Hazel for a pregnancy checkup, when they happened to run into Beatrice. Apparently, Beatrice had just arrived there.“Mrs. Zimmerman, what are you doing here? Are you sick?” Hazel asked.“Oh, I’m not sick, Hazel. I have a meeting with some doctors here to discuss sending medical aid to remote areas in Latin America.” Beatrice chuckled softly.“You’re really busy,” commented Glenn. “Take care of your health, Mrs. Zimmerman.”Beatrice nodded. “Thank you for your concern, Glenn.”Then she continued, “Since I happened to run into you here, Glenn, there’s something I’d like to talk about. I need your help.”Glenn was momentarily tak
“Mei!” Hazel immediately hugged her friend, whom she hadn't seen for months.Mr. Zhang’s daughter had decided to visit Hazel in Eagertown after the situation in Yuhan had stabilized. She brought a lot of gifts for Hazel, thinking Hazel would want to try some unique treats from Yuhan.“Sorry I came so late, I’ve been incredibly busy in Yuhan,” Mei said.“It’s okay. I know you had a lot to take care of.”They walked through the corridor and into the living room. Glenn, who had just come out of his office, joined them. They all sat comfortably on the sofa.“How does it feel to be expecting a baby?” Mei asked with a giggle.Hazel was due in four months. Time had flown by, and her belly was already showing significantly.“I feel ugly,” Hazel complained.“Ugly? You look so beautiful, Hazel. I’m even jealous of you,” Mei replied. “Being a mother is a privilege not every woman gets.”“I don’t know… I feel so emotionally unstable.” Hazel pouted.Glenn reached for Hazel’s shoulder and hugged he
As time passed, Glenn and Hazel enjoyed peaceful days while awaiting the birth of their baby. In the month of their baby’s due date, Glenn received the surprising news that Yvonne and Victor were getting married. “Glenn, hurry up!” Hazel hurriedly put on her earrings as they were almost late for Victor and Yvonne’s wedding ceremony. Glenn quickly grabbed his jacket from the back of the chair and hugged Hazel from behind. Seeing Hazel with her big belly made him fall in love with her even more. “Not now,” Hazel grumbled, annoyed. The more Hazel was irritable, the more Glenn enjoyed teasing her. They stepped out of the house and got into the car. Glenn drove at a moderate speed, occasionally reaching for Hazel’s hand and kissing it gently. Hazel felt incredibly happy, showered with love from her husband. When they arrived at the church, the doors were almost closing as the ceremony was about to begin. Glenn and Hazel entered, accompanied by the quiet laughter of the attendees. They
The loud beep of the ECG machine echoed by the bedside wakes Glenn up. His forehead creased in disturbance as his eyes took in his surroundings. An old machine, rusty chairs and beds, a ceiling adorned with dangling spider webs, a musty odour filling the roomWhere was he? When he tried to stand, his body was stiff and unresponsive. He tried to move his body, but it felt as if his body was completely paralyzed; he couldn't feel his legs and arms. ‘What's happening?''Why can't I move my body?' 'Where is everyone?''What is more, why am I being treated in such a terrible hospital? I'm one of the most powerful businessmen in Edgartown,’ He tried to analyse it in his mind. "Ugh..." he groaned, feeling an excruciating pain in his head when he attempted to uncover the reason why he ended up in that sad and helpless state hospital. That memory comes rushing into his mind. He had been on his way to work in Smith Corp when the steering wheel of his car became unresponsive as he acceler
"Where on earth have you been all this time?! I've been looking for you, you fool!" reprimanded a woman from behind him. He looked back to see her face scowling as she crossed her arms. Glenn was taken aback, seeing the face of his young wife. She looks astonishingly beautiful with her red hair, milky skin and sexy figure. That face used to captivate him completely. He would go to any lengths to win her affection. Little did he know that behind that stunning facade lay a deceitful and vile witch. ‘When did their dirty game begin?’ ‘Where did they often meet?’ ‘How could their relationship escape my notice?’ These questions swirled in his mind. To enact his revenge, he was determined to follow Amber's game. He wanted to understand how foolish he was back then. This time, when fate gave him a second chance, he vowed to make sure he would give them both what they deserved! "What's wrong, Amber?" he asked. Now that his heart had grown numb to her charm, he could see how
That evening, wearing a shirt and khaki pants, Glenn entered John Steel’s residence carrying a large gift box that he handed to Amber. Of course, Amber's smile upon seeing the large gift he brought caught Glenn's attention; her demeanour changed not because of seeing Glenn, it did not escape his notice. "What's this?" Amber asked curiously. "You can open it later after I've left," replied Glenn. His in-laws had previously greeted him enthusiastically. Now the fake smiles of these money-minded individuals were painfully obvious to Glenn. These two were leeches back when he married Amber, constantly asking for financial support for their failing business. He couldn't refuse because after marrying Amber, they became his family. As Glenn was cutting his steak, the impatient expression on his father-in-law's face was reflected in his wine glass. "Yes, Sir?" Glenn inquired. "Ahem, is it true that you're solely heir of Smith Corp?" he initiated the conversation. "That's correct, Sir. I
‘Damn it, how could this simp man refuse my request?’ ‘What's wrong with him?’‘Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning that his attitude is so different?’‘Ugh, as repulsed I am by that man, if I were to lose him, it would be disastrous.’‘I have no other source of funds besides him,’ Amber concluded in disbelief, attempting to pull Glenn back into her charm. "Are you having problems? You seem so different," she whispered, not wanting other students to hear her submissive tone to Glenn. Seeing Amber's softened demeanour, Glenn smirked condescendingly.'I just threatened you a moment ago, and now you're like a puppy with its tail tucked between its legs,' Glenn assessed. He had never felt so happy in his life before. If Amber had treated him like a doormat all this time, now he didn't want anyone to do the same to him. Amber's feigned sweetness wouldn't sway him. No one should trample on him again. ‘Should I play around with her for now? I guess letting her off
