The elevator stopped on the 6th floor, and Edward stepped out. He didn’t turn into the restroom, nor did he head down to the hospital lobby. Instead, he turned left, where the rooms of actively treated patients were concentrated. And there was Jasper—his beloved “brother.” Edward found a secluded spot and sat down, quietly observing the situation. Of course, the “hidden” spot he chose conveniently provided a full view of Jasper’s hospital room.After sitting there for about three minutes, Mrs. Sherwood emerged from Jasper’s room. In less than a week, she seemed to have aged significantly, losing almost ten pounds. Mrs. Sherwood, currently in her sleepwear, had disheveled hair, wore flip-flops, and exuded an unkempt and disheveled appearance. As soon as she stepped out of Jasper’s room, she started yawning continuously, resembling a person addicted to cigarettes. Perhaps because of the continuous nights spent caring for Jasper, combined with the troubles she was facing, Mrs. Sherwood h
The people around saw Mrs. Sherwood fainting on the ground and gathered. Soon Mrs. Sherwood was taken into the hospital room by medical staff.Edward standing next to him couldn’t help but smirk. It’s worth it. She made so many mistakes half her life ago, now it’s time to pay the price. You will let her taste the pain slowly until she can’t stand it anymore.“This is the price you have to pay! It’s nothing compared to what you did to us!” Edward whispered. The moment she brought Jasper and Emily into his villa, while the young master of that villa was pushed out into the street, Edward still remembers clearly. How he collapsed that day. Now he will give her and her daughter the same taste. What must be paid must be paid! That house belongs to you, and so does Sherwood Company. Just because they usurped it for many years doesn’t mean it has become theirs. Edward will definitely get everything back. Everything must return to its original place. And that terrible family was forced to exp
Ah, that’s right, Edward. I’m about to be discharged!" Mrs. Goreng joyfully shared the news with Edward. The doctor had mentioned that her health had been improving lately, and the surgical wound had healed.“If everything goes as planned, I’ll be heading home in a week!”Certainly, Edward was delighted by this news. Mrs. Goreng was his only family, and he had been deeply concerned about her health. However, Mrs. Goreng’s discharge would pose some challenges for Edward. He would have to spend more time at home, maintaining a good image of being well-behaved and diligent. Every action would need more attention.“That’s great! I’m thrilled, and I’m sure Mr. Benson is too.” Edward said, turning towards Mr. Benson with a smile.“Well, after all, you know how Jackson is. Your mom just talked to him earlier. You’re always busy and trailing behind.”Hearing this, Edward chuckled, hurrying back to hug his mother.“Alright, alright, I know I was wrong. Wait until you’re discharged, and I’ll ta
Janet, frustrated after Edward ignored her calls for so long, entertained many hypotheses, all revolving around the idea that Edward might have an affair with another woman. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. In her mind, there was no other reason for his behavior! Just last night, there was still affection between them; Edward even gave her such a valuable gift. But today, she called him ten times, and he still didn’t answer! Was he playing around and planning to break up?Janet, not one to let such things happen, was determined to prevent it. The seat of the future Mrs. Sherwood belonged to her, and it had to be her, without a doubt!Janet gritted her teeth, continuously pressing the call button to reach Edward. Despite many attempts, the result remained the same – no answer.“Damn it! What the hell are you doing, you jerk!” Janet angrily threw her phone onto the bed and grasped her hair. Her emotions were a mix of worry and fury. She couldn’t bear the thought of
"Don’t think too much. It’s just that I have quite a few things to deal with.’ Edward spoke gently, and for now, his priority was to reassure Janet. ‘Really?’ ‘Yes, trust me. It’s just work.’ Janet felt a bit relieved hearing that, though not entirely trusting. Edward’s thoughts about another woman lingered in her mind. Men are the most untrustworthy creatures in the world.‘You’re only allowed to have me. If I catch you secretly meeting anyone else, I’ll tear both of you apart. Don’t complain then.’ Edward, hearing this, couldn’t help but shudder. The familiar stern tone persisted. Before accusing others, she should look in the mirror! A woman like her, a flirt demanding fidelity from others, was absurd. Also, if he had another woman, so what? They didn’t have any serious relationship. Edward had expressed no desire for Janet to be his girlfriend; she was his ex-girlfriend from the past, not anymore! Not to mention, what could someone as useless as her do? Stir up jealousy or cry and
“I will cover every expense; you just need to compete," Edward exchanged with Gray without hesitation.Hearing this, Gray Robinson burst into laughter. He didn’t expect Edward to be so audacious. Now people in this city could barely get him to talk, let alone book him for a match. Though he hadn’t officially declared retirement, it had been a long time since Gray stood in the ring. He was transitioning into the role of a coach, a trainer, rather than a fighter on the stage.“Is this your personal wish, or is it Benson Jackson’s idea?” Gray Robinson didn’t hesitate to look into Edward’s eyes. He referred to Benson by his name instead of the usual “Mr. Benson.”“It’s mine,” Edward replied straightforwardly. He knew lying to an old fox like Gray would be foolish. A simple call to Benson and Edward’s lie would be exposed. Moreover, Edward believed Gray was smart enough to figure out the answer. If this were Benson’s request, the person sitting here wouldn’t be him, and there would be no n
Thank you." Edward said, tears welling up in his eyes.“I’ll text you the address soon,” McKay responded.“Actually, I’m the one who should thank you. You’ve given me the motivation to come back, shown me that there are many people out there waiting for me.” Gray spoke with gratitude and a smile. The world of boxing, his passion, is where Gray Robinson belongs. Returning as a trainer didn’t suit him, and Edward helped reignite that flame.“I believe Gray Robinson’s comeback this time will be a significant milestone in the world of boxing. Gray Robinson, you are a legend among legends.”Gray simply smiled without saying a word, hoping that Edward’s words would become a reality. Gray Robinson, a legend among legends!“I have some business to attend to; stay here.” Gray stood up, grabbing his coat. Right now, what he needs is time for training. This comeback must be a significant wave in the boxing world.“Sure, take care.”Gray walked briskly to his car, leaving the cafe in less than th
Edward looked at the scene in front of him, shaking his head in frustration. Clearly, he had told Janet they were only going on a brief vacation for a few days, yet here she was dragging along five suitcases, overloaded with who knows how much stuff.“With this amount of luggage, does she plan to stay for a month?” Edward muttered under his breath.As Janet spotted Edward waiting for her, her eyes lit up. She waved continuously towards Edward and McKay, standing as if afraid they wouldn’t recognize her.“I’m here, I’m here!”At this moment, Edward observed everyone looking awkward. This was a hotel, not an airport; there was no need for that kind of enthusiastic waving. Not to mention, today she was dressed in a flashy red lace dress. Let alone Edward and McKay, even people in their late sixties might find it hard not to notice her. Edward wished he could find a hole to crawl into, so everyone would know he was involved with such an ostentatious woman.“What’s wrong with her?” McKay w
