Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 515
Rebecca was sitting by Veronica’s side. She noticed that the swelling around her right eye darkened as if blood clotted there. Selena put her hand on Rebecca’s shoulder. “She’s going to be fine.” “What happened to her eye, Mom?” Rebecca asked. “It looks like someone punched her, but I know she didn’t get punched because I was with her all the time.” “Didn’t the doctor say that stress can sometimes do that?” Selena said. “That doctor didn’t come again, did he? How can we trust his words?” “You’re right. That’s why I called for a different doctor.” “Can we trust him?” “I think so.” Just then, Brian and the new doctor enter the room, as guided by the maid Amber. The doctor was a relative of Brian, but he looked more like a gangster than a doctor because his biceps would be at least 25 inches thick. And he was as tall as Shawn, so he looked like a standing rhinoceros. “My name is Bunny,” the doctor shook his hand with Selena, but then he wasn’t letting go of her hand and kept sha

Brian didn’t leave with Bunny but came back and talked to Selena in front of Rebecca. “It’s going to be fine. She’s going to wake up soon, I promise. Doctor Bunny is a highly capable individual, so I’m confident that he’ll cure your daughter’s condition.”“Thanks for bringing him, but I still find it difficult to believe that my daughter has been poisoned by parasites,” Selena pitifully said. “She’s someone who doesn’t even walk barefooted on the ground. So, it’s really baffling that she’s got parasites in her.”Brian’s gaze soon shifted to Rebecca who was gently rubbing her sister’s palm. He liked what he saw. “All of you are wishing for her recovery, so I’m sure your good wishes will come true.”“I hope so.”Meanwhile, Bella stopped by a gas station to completely fill the tank. Her left hand that was poisoned was still hurting.As she was filling, a couple of white vans suddenly entered the gas station. The doors opened, and half a dozen men stepped out.Bella immediately raised the

“You idiots!” Samuel Sehla shouted through the phone. “What do you mean you failed to capture her? I want her brought over to me before the sun shines, or I’m going to make you pay me ten times the advance I paid you!”“W-We’ll get her this time for sure, sir,” a somewhat tense voice spoke from the other side.“You better,” Samuel hissed and then cut the call. “Bunch of fools. They can’t even capture one woman, and they call themselves a gang.”“Calm down, darling,” Samuel’s girlfriend, Inyana, gently massaged his shoulders from behind. “Anger will only drain your energy quickly and doesn’t help with achieving your goal.”Samuel sighed. “Yeah. You’re right.” He lifted his head, and she kissed him on the lips. “Now, my anger has completely faded away.”“Haha,” Inyana chuckled a little. “They don’t know who I am, so why don’t I enter the Sterling villa and bring them out one by one to you?”Samuel was very surprised to hear that. “B-But, if they realize what’s going on, you will be in

“Joke?” Rebecca’s expression turned slightly cold. She was already in a bad mood because of what happened to her sister. If not for the fact that it was Brian who brought the doctor, Rebecca would have lashed out at him by now. “Mr. Brian… Do you know what’s the most difficult thing to achieve for any artist?”“Um, I’m not an artist, so I’m not sure what it is,” Brian replied.“It is to replicate what you see in reality or in imagination, and take it to perfection,” Rebecca said. “It applies to businessmen or anybody for that matter because we are all artists in our respective professions. The beauty of the world, or the complexity of our lives cannot be fully captured in mere pictures or books. But we still do our best to bring our artwork to life just like how you do your best to satisfy customers and at the same time earn as much profit as you can through your businesses.” She pointed her thumb back at the image of hers. “This art you see is the result of an honest replication of r

Selena was not at all surprised by Rebecca’s remarks because this was how Rebecca had been treating her lately, as if she was her enemy.“I admit that I treated him a bit unfairly, Rebecca, but what’s done is done,” Selena reasoned with her. “Benjamin is gone. There’s no point in wasting your life over a dead guy that will never return.”“Yeah, he’s no longer in the world, Mom, but…” Rebecca touched her own chest, “he’s still in my heart. And he’s still greater than any man out there in the world. I don’t think that will ever change.”“A-Are you saying you’ll never marry anyone ever again?” Selena couldn’t help but ask, looking baffled.“Unless Benjamin rises from his grave… yes, I won’t be marrying again,” Rebecca replied without a shred of dithering.“Are you sure you’re not making this decision purely based on emotions?” Selena asked again.“If that’s the case, then there’s no need for you to worry now, is there, Mom?” Rebecca said. “I’m tired. So, if you leave, I’ll get some sleep
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 520
Early in the morning, Dorothy was sitting out on the balcony, next to Rebecca, basking in the morning sunlight. “Are you sure this would help, Rebecca?” Dorothy looked very doubtful. “Don’t they say that sunlight causes cancer? You’re not trying to fuck with me, are you?” “As long as you don’t put on sunscreen lotion, then you’re going to be fine,” Rebecca said. “Sunlight heals, so stop getting anxious about it. Why do you think I’m sitting under it now? Because it cures depression without me having to do anything about it. Isn’t it making you feel better?” “Well, I still feel cold out here, but slowly, my body is warming up,” Dorothy said. “Nevertheless, the UV rays are a killer, aren’t they?” “No they are not. Like I said, as long as you don’t put on toxic chemicals on your skin and eat a proper, healthy diet, being in the sun is beneficial to your health, Rebecca assured. “I’ve asked some of my most trusted friends about this. One of them released multiple research papers on thi

Roshan was a tall and good-looking boy. He had many friends among both boys and girls, but he preferred to spend more time on the mobile playing games and chatting with strangers. He got a thrill from doing that.Currently, Roshan clumsily swam while video-chatting with a random girl he met online. “I did what you said. Now, it’s your turn.”“I don’t think I can do what you did,” she laughed, “because I’m an organic robot.”“Haha, good joke,” Roshan laughed along, “but there’s no way you can be a robot. I mean, you are so gorgeous.”“Thank you,” she smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear. “What do you want me to do?”“How about you stare at me without blinking?” Roshan said. “Whoever blinks first will get a command from the winner.”“Sounds fun.”They both started staring at each other. Roshan was good at it, but this girl seemed like an expert at doing it.“Roshan, what do you think you’re doing?” Rebecca entered the scene, startling him.“U-Uh, Aunt?” Roshan didn’t want to revea

After Roshan went into the building, Rebecca was sitting by the pool.“What are you thinking about, Aunt?” Lisa came to her, wearing a two-piece. “Aren’t you going to jump into the pool with me?”“No, I don’t like the pool, so you can swim by yourself,” Rebecca said.“Why not? I’ve never seen you swimming before. Are you afraid of water or something?” Lisa queried while jumping into the pool.“Not really, but I don’t like to use the pool that others use,” Rebecca replied.“Why not?” Lisa began to swim.“Long back, when I was in school, I went to the pool to swim and relax,” Rebecca explained, already shaking her head because of what she was about to say. “There are over a dozen women swimming in that same pool. I didn’t mind it, but then I saw the color of the water changing around a particular woman who was dancing. At first, I thought something was wrong, but then I soon realized that she was actually urinating.”“Ew,” Lisa suddenly felt like she was in the wrong place. She stopped
