《Come back to Me, My Ex-Wife》 Chapter 1 Awkward Encounter Chapter 1 Awkward Encounter When it was about to reach midnight, Margery Byrne leaned weakly against the wall of the corridor of a bar while coughing fiercely. She felt sharp pain in her head while her throat felt like burning. She had an urge to retch but she failed to throw up anything. She was almost knocked down after gulping a few bottles of ck beer continuously. However, she still had to go into the bar again and managed to entertain those guys after rxing a bit. Her clinic would go bankrupt if she failed to get the specific medicine. She had no way to support Andrew, her loving son, if she was facing financial challenge. Margery raised her hands to rub against her exhausted face weakly. She sighed and then turned around. Suddenly, she saw the oily and ugly face of a chubby old man, who was wearing a fake smile. "Mr. Chang, now you have seen the contract and you were also being nicely treated. What do you think about the deal?" "Well, I don''t think simply drinking would be enough!" While speaking, that man named Mr. Chang stared at the fair skin revealed beneath her cor. He reached out his hand to touch her shoulder. Suddenly, his greasy eyes looked lustful, "Come on, since we are here for the deal, there is no need to dress so much. After all, I am going to be your partner, right? We should be quite familiar with each other." "Mr. Chang, please stop joking." Margery grabbed her phone hard. She could barely maintain her smile. "What? Ms. Bryne, you didn''t catch my words? Or is it because you are still reluctant to ept the deal? Come on, every one of us knows what is the hidden rule of making a deal, right?" Mr. Chang let out a burst of disgustingughter. He slowly stroked her shoulder and then went downwards to her corbone, "We are not only going to bemercial partners, but also partners on the bed, right? Oh, by the way, I have never banged such an attractive and well-educated female doctor just like you. It must be quite intoxicating! Come on, girl, I can give you whatever you want if you could please me. Not to mention that you only ask for some medicine." "Mr. Chang, stop!" Margery stepped aside to dodge his disgusting hands and frowned. Though she was aware that this guy was known as an obscene pervert, she still had to please him for the sake of Andrew, who was badly in need of medical fee. "Come on, I know what you want." Mr. Chang smiled obscenely and suddenly pinned her against the wall. He immediately ripped off the shirt beneath her jacket. Her fair skin shining under the disco light seemed to turn him on. "Come on, beauty, spread your legs! I can''t wait!" "Don''t touch me! No!" Margery was pinned down so hard that she could hardly breathe. She could only stare at him desperately, who was getting closer and closer with his smelly lips. The disgusting breath emitted from his mouth really made her despairing. Suddenly, she heard a girl nearby calling in a soft tone, "Wee, Mr. Barrett." She could tell that the voice just came from behind. Mr. Barrett?! Her heart was beating faster when she heard his name. She couldn''t help turning her head to look at him. There came a man dressing in a simple shirt and ck pants, who looked eye-catching and charming while smoking. He stepped forward casually while holding a cigarette between his slender fingers. He looked emotionless but mysterious. Leaning against his chest, Pansy Gibson, the most popr movie star, was staring at him infatuatedly, whose face was attractive and delicate. Pansy looked pure and innocent. Though she just engaged in the industry for only three years, she turned to be the most popr movie star from a mere nobody. So there had been gossips about her that she must bergely supported by a big shot with great financial aid. However, Margery had never expected that it was her nominal husband who actually supported Pansy behind her back. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. What a nice disguise! Though they had been married for three years, Margery barely met him for a few times. But she didn''t expect that they would bump into each other in such an awkward ce, especially when she was pinned down by a disgusting old man while she was in disarray. Margery could tell how embarrassed she was at this moment if there were a mirror in front of her. She didn''t want Golden Barrett to notice how awkward she was at this moment. However, Golden happened to look at them. He stared at Margery with his cold eyes for a while. Then he smiled and said indifferently, "Mr. Chang, are you sure you are going to kiss this ugly hag?" Chapter 2 I Am Just a Stranger Chapter 2 I Am Just a Stranger When hearing his words, Margery looked pale. She froze on spot immediately. ''Golden Barrett, I am your wife! You really hate me so much? You just stand by while I was pinned down by another man and you even mock me with harsh words?'' Though they were couple, they looked like strangers to each other. "Ms. Bryne looks so goddamn pretty and she has nice lips! How dare you say that she is a hag! Are you fucking blind?" Mr. Chang turned around, feeling annoyed. When he noticed that it was Golden, the most powerful man in this city, who actually interrupted him, he was so shocked that he immediately let go of Margery and then stopped touching her. He zipped his pants and then smiled fawningly, "Mr. Barrett, are you here to see Ms. Bryne for business?" Golden simply ignored him and then looked at Margery with cold eyes. He hated her for being seemingly indifferent. Then he said with emotionless voice, "I am just a stranger to see what happened." ''Just a stranger to see what happened? You just want to see me to be embarrassed!'' Margery lowered her head to smooth her clothes and then let out a bitter smile. When seeing that, Pansy was a bit stunned. She blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Golden, I have been with you for three years and I have never met thisdy named Ms. Bryne before. Could you introduce her to me?" In her view, Golden had barely showed his emotion on his face. He always looked mysterious just like the deep ocean. No one could tell what he was thinking.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. However, as acute as she was as an actress, she noticed that Golden was actually quite surprised a moment ago. ''Who is she?'' Pansy thought to herself while she was grabbing her handbag much more tightly. "She is nobody." While speaking, Golden stared at Margery with a bit of disdain, who was grooming herself. "But I really want to know her right now." Pansy leaned into his arms and raised her delicate face while speaking coquettishly, "Golden, please¡­" Her soft and prolonged voice seemed to stab into Margery''s ears as if they were bleeding. She immediately realized that Golden was never cruel to any women, except her. Suddenly, she seemed to notice that Golden took a glimpse at her, where there hidden hatred and disdain. He got even closer to Pansy and then said with a fake smile, "She has nothing to do with us. Why not let her introduce herself?" ''You hate me so much that you even didn''t want to mention about my name?'' Margery tried to hold back the grievance surging up in her heart. She just stared at Golden, who was now hugging Pansy boldly. Then she smiled, "I am the wife of the most powerful man in this city. He is nice to me. He offers me everything including vi, limousine and a priceless treasure¡ªmy loving son!" Suddenly, Golden seemed to get stiff a bit. He raised his head to nce at her casually, looking as cold as usual. "You are Mrs. Barrett? Really?" Obviously, Pansy didn''t believe what she was saying. So she said with a mocking tone. Of course, the most powerful man in this city was none other than Golden Barrett! However, he had never mentioned about his wife and son in public. So everyone deemed that he should still be single. How could it be possible that this awkwarddy would be the wife of Golden?! Margery looked at Golden. She smiled while facing his cold gaze. Then she turned to look at Pansy provocatively, "Miss Gibson, I was just joking." Pansy was a bit stunned, but then she continued, "So who are you? What''s your rtionship with Golden?" Suddenly, everyone present stared at Margery. "Stop kidding me, Miss Gibson. I am a married woman. How could I have an affair with that guy?" After saying that, Margery deemed it quite ridiculous. Actually, she was the legitimate wife of Golden. However, the real mistress, Pansy, was now questioning her. At the thought of that, Margery couldn''t helpughing. However, she suddenly felt said whileughing. Pansy suddenly looked sullen. She looked at Margery from head to toe. When she saw her embarrassed but beautiful face, she smiled with great disdain, "So where it''s your husband? You have his permission toe to such a dirty ce?" "Miss Gibson, don''t forget that you are now standing right inside such a dirty ce." Margery flung her hairs backward and then smiled elegantly, "Well, actually, my husband is now walking his dog." Suddenly, Golden''s face turned dark! He red at Margery with greater hatred. When noticing his abominable gaze, Margery felt a bang of pain in her heart. The more she felt pain, the brighter her smile was, "Unfortunately, that is an annoying dog who barks whoever she meets! As a saying goes, a dog resembles the one who raised her. Am I right, Mr. Barrett?" Chapter 3 He Had Once Saved Her! Chapter 3 He Had Once Saved Her! Upon hearing that, Golden finally looked at her straightly with his sharp and cold eyes. Then he emphasized each single word with hostility, "Doctor Bryne, you really have a glib tongue!" Margery smiled and then shook her head, "Mr. Barrett, are you ttering me?" Pansy, who stood beside him, stared at Margery with suspicion. Then she turned to look at Golden, whose face darkened. She noticed that there was something wrong between them. But she couldn''t tell exactly. Golden frowned and then shifted his sharp gaze off Margery''s face. Then he looked at Mr. Chang, who seemed to be quite confused about what was going on. Then he sneered, "I don''t deserve to talk to such ady with glib tongue. Mr. Chang, you may continue now." Then he lowered his head and said to Pansy gently, "It''ste now. I will have my driver send you home." Margery had never seen him being so gentle and tender while he was talking to Pansy. Margery blinked her eyes. Then she saw Golden step into the elevator while hugging Pansy in his arms without turning his back. She couldn''t help smiling with self-mockery. Suddenly, she collected herself and noticed that she was here for the contract. She calmed down herself and then walked to the front of that oily old man. She took out a contract from her bag and then handed it to him with a pen, "Mr. Chang, please sign the contract. I really need the medicine." "Hold on! Are you Mrs. Barrett? I heard that actually Mr. Barrett had already got married. And I also know that he owns a medicalpany and he has a lot of stock of the medicine you need. Why don''t you ask him for the medicine but youe to me instead? Mrs. Barrett, if you are trying to y some tricks on your husband, please don''t get me involved! And don''t evere to me again! Please!" Mr. Chang couldn''t help trembling with fear when he thought of the gossips that Golden was actually a cold-blooded man who was cruel to his enemy. Though he was not sure if Margery was the wife of Golden, he couldn''t afford to take the risk. No matter how lustful he was, he could never afford to pester Mrs. Barrett. At this moment, he didn''t deem Margery as a ravishing sweet beauty anymore. Instead, he now viewed her like a monster. He couldn''t help stepping backwards with his trembling legs. Then he turned around and ran away. Even Margery herself didn''t expect that a fat guy like him could run so fast. When seeing that, Margery sighed. She was aware that Golden would never offer her the medicine as he hated her so much. She had been trying so hard for the whole night and she had been suffering from retch for hours! She almost damaged her own body. But she still failed to get the contract signed. Every effort she made was in vain. Whatever, Margery decided to go back home first. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. She put the contract into her handbag. While she was walking down the long corridor of the bar, someone suddenly touched her shoulder. Margery turned around with surprise. An incredibly charming face of a man suddenly caught her eyes, where there also showed a trace of worry. But Margery chose to ignore it. "Melvin Collins?" she frowned. Suddenly, she took steps back to keep a distance from him as if she seemed to think of something weird. When seeing her move, Melvin felt his heart aching. The cold and fake marriage between Margery and Golden really brought a great impact on her. Though she didn''t fall in love with Melvin before, she still viewed him just like her loving brother at that time. She always loved to talk to him and shared anything she experienced. But now, she tried her best to avoid seeing him just as if she were bumping into a bag of garbage. She tried all means to keep away from him every time she saw him. When seeing her wrinkled jacket and her pale face, Melvin seemed to be outrageous as the vein on his forehead started to twitch fiercely. He raised his head and was about to touch her pale face, which stung his heart. Suddenly, he saw her stepping back again, which rendered him quite frustrated. So he put down his hand and clenched his fists while his arms were hanging loosely beside his thighs. He asked worriedly, "What happened to you? I just saw Golden walking out of the bar with a coquettish movie star in his arms. What did he do to you? You are Golden''s wife! Tell me, did he bully you again?" "It''s none of your business." She was still wearing a poker face just like Golden, and it looked even colder than his, which rendered Melvin quite mad. He frowned angrily and tried to touch her face again, "I know it''s none of my business if you were living with him happily. But if not, I have to defend you!" Margery tilted her head to avoid being touched. She said casually, "I know I will probably divorce Golden. But it''s impossible for me to fall in love with you!" "Impossible? Once you divorce, I will definitely marry you aboveboard!" Margery still ignored him and turned around to walk towards the elevator calmly. After drinking so much and having a wry talk with Golden, Margery now only fancied a nice sleep. "Margery, wait!" Melvin followed her behind. When she got out of the bar, she walked towards as fast as she could. However, she happened to kick a little stone on the roadside and she suddenly sprained her left ankle. So she had to slow down her pace. She needed to stop after taking a few steps forward. But she still gasped for air because of the acute pain. "Stop! Let me see your ankle!" While speaking, Melvin rushed over. He squatted down and held her left foot. Then he was about to take off her shoe to check carefully. Margery withdrew her feet immediately. Suddenly, she seemed to explode out of shame and humiliation. She pushed him hard and shouted, "Enough! Stop annoying me!" "Am I annoying you? Or are you being annoyed because of Golden?" Melvin covered his shoulder because of pain. He felt so sad that he failed to utter to confess how pain he felt from the bottom of his heart, "Margery, it has been three years! He has been so cold and indifferent to you! Aren''t you enough with that? Don''t be silly! He doesn''t love you at all! He never keeps you in his heart! He married you just because of his beloved one! Don''t be stupid! Stop fooling yourself!" "Stop!" Margery''s mind was rendered messy. While she was standing still, Melvin wrapped her waist with his hot and strong arms. He held her tightly against his warm chest. "Margery, just divorce him. Come back to me, okay? I really regret doing that!" Melvin sneered bitterly while smelling the fragrant scent of her hairs. He tightened his hug as if he were so eager to cling to her for a lifetime. If it weren''t for the dirty plot of Golden, he would never have had sex with Norma Barrett, the cousin of Golden, when he was drunk. And then it was Margery who saw both of them on the bed. Then, Golden forced her to married himself but he hated her so much after marriage. At the thought of that, Melvin couldn''t help burning with rage. "No! There''s no way back! Melvin, I have deemed you a brother of mine! But you should know the reason why I promised to be your girlfriend at that time. Now, since I married him and gave birth to Andrew, I am satisfied with it! I have once lost my family. I don''t want my son to suffer from the same thing again! So I have to move on, gritting! No matter how many difficulties are expecting me." Margery broke free from his grip. A bitter smile appeared on her pale face. She teetered to the crossroad and hailed a taxi. As she got into it, she started to recall the day when she got a crush on Melvin. She once suffered from obesity at the age of fifteen. She was so fat that she looked like a funny balloon. All her ssmates mocked her and disdained her. When she was on her way home after school one day, a group of haters stopped her in a dark alley and started to beat her. Soon, her sses were broken and her ears started to bleed because of heavy p. Her head was bleeding and her clothes was almost ripped off. She could only curl up her own body on the ground weakly. Tears streamed down her face. She was exceedingly desperate. Suddenly, those who beat her started to scream out of pain. She opened her eyes, stunned. She saw a cold and elegant boy show up in the dark with her eyes blurred with blood. He was so brave that he looked like Herculesing from nowhere. It was at that moment that her heart was captured while she almost drowned out of depression. It was Golden! It was he who had once saved her! It didn''t matter to her whether he loved her. She herself was sure that she still loved him deeply. And that would be enough. In a corner of the street, Golden, who was leaning against the door of his car under the dim streetlight, kept smoking while holding the cigarette with his slender fingers. No one could tell what he was thinking at this moment. He stared at Melvin and Margery, who were clinging to each other at the gate of the bar. His eyes looked deadly cold as he seemed to notice that they were talking to each other intimately. He then crushed the butt with his foot and hopped into the car. He stroked the steering wheel and then suddenly stepped on the gas hard. He drove his car all the way at full speed. Chapter 4 His Sudden Arrival Chapter 4 His Sudden Arrival When Margery just arrived home, she took off her clothes and soaked herself in a warm bathtub. She sighed lightly and closed her eyes to hide her sadness. Of course, she felt sad because she fell in love with the wrong guy. However, the tears streaming down her cheek told her that she actually still felt sad for her. Suddenly, a horn of car sounded down the building. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, where there was glistering with hope. Golden was back? But soon, she shook her head to deny her own assumption. Perhaps she drowned in illusion because of tiredness. How could he, who had never been here for three years, suddenly change his mind tonight? However, when the door of the bathroom was kicked opened, she came to realized that it was not an illusion. She stared at his charming face with her eyes wide opened with surprise. When she collected herself, she suddenly noticed that she was still lying in the bathtub nakedly. Her face turned blushed and her heart kept beating fast out of fluster. Then she pretended to be calm and stood up. She grabbed the bath towel to wrap her wet body. Then she stepped out of the bathtub and stood on the ground with bare feet. She said calmly, "The special bathroom for you is located at the first floor. Not here." Seeing her standing in a distance from her, Golden let out a cold smile, "Hey, I remembered that you didn''t wear a poker face like that when you met your old lover, right? Instead, you acted quite coquettishly." She paused for a while and then noticed that he was talking about Melvin. Not until then she suddenly realized that he had seen Melvin hugging her at the gate of the bar. It was his first time to go home during the three continuous years. However, he came here just because he deemed that she was having an affair with Melvin. She stared at her and tried to hold back her sadness. Then she said with self-mockery, "Yeah, because I love him." Melvin frowned and stared at her bloodshot eyes. His body suddenly stiffened. But soon he squinted and stared at her coldly, "You''d better behave yourself! Otherwise, I will kill Andrew in front of the tomb of Vivian." "Golden, what the hell are you going to do?" Margery suddenly held on her breath. She no longer looked as calm as before. She was rendered mad with her bloodshot eyes just like a wounded cub, "You made me a criminal used of attempted murder out of nothing! My family was totally destroyed and went bankrupt because of the retaliation of the family of Vivian Martin! My parents both jumped off the building and died because of that! I have nothing left but Andrew now! What the hell are you going to do to me again? Andrew is also your son! No matter how much you hate me, you should never hurt your son! How could you threaten me with his life? You filthy animal!" She shouted so hard that she didn''t even notice the bath towel suddenly dropped. Both her fair skin and her busty chest under her delicate corbone were captured into Golden''s eyes. Her waist was slim and soft as if he could crush it with a simple grip. He still remembered the taste of her body. During the date of wedding, he had totally drunk himself and he was bearing the hatred to torture her to death! He didn''t stop on the bed for three continuous days until she started to bleed and was sent to the hospital! A monthter, she got pregnant. However, she was still weak when she was bearing the baby. So Andrew was weaker than other boys when he was born. What was worse, he had been diagnosis as a congenital disease. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Golden used to deem that it must be retribution against him as he had sex with Margery without the permission of Vivian. So, he had a disabled baby to raise. What was worse, it was a baby of Margery, which rendered her sullen. "Because he was your son! That''s his crime!" Golden sneered. When hearing that, Margery bit her pale lips hard, "I have sent Andrew to the kindergarten to keep him away from you! Why don''t you let go of us?" "Let go of you? Why don''t you let go of Vivian?" Vivian?! Vivian again! Since he loved Vivian so much, why did he still marry her and got her pregnant? Margery kept silent while looking at him, who was still stabbing her heart with harsh words. Suddenly, she sneered, "Golden Barrett, let''s divorce! I ask for nothing but Andrew!" Chapter 5 Sexual Torture Chapter 5 Sexual Torture Divorce? Golden was stunned while hearing that, especially when it was mentioned by Margery, who had been tolerant and tender. But soon, he sneered and walked over to grab her fair neck. Then he started to gradually exert more strength on his grip. "Now you want to divorce because of pain?" "Think about Andrew! Do you know what he wants now?" His words seemed to lock her down just like chains, which rendered her unable to move. Of course, she knew quite well about her two-year-old son that he could only see his father during the family reunion banquet and so did Margery herself. So for Andrew, his earnest hope was that Golden could spare some time every day and go to the kindergarten to see him. Besides, a loving family portrait in which he could hold the hands of both his parents had been one of his dreaming moments as every kid in the kindergarten had kept such a nice family picture in their school bag. Unfortunately, he failed to gain such a joy. Once Margery divorced Golden, Andrew would lose his father forever. At the thought of that, Margery closed her eyes with a bitter smile and dared not to struggle again. She was then thrown hard onto the cold wall beside just like a broken doll. She happened to hit her own forehead at the side of the bathtub. Suddenly, she felt a bang of sharp pain. She was trembling all over because of pain. But she still managed to turn her face away and hold back her whine out of pain while biting her lips hard. She didn''t want to show him her bleeding forehead and tearful eyes. She had been used to disguising herself during the cruel marriage for three years. She had been used to burying all the pain deep into her heart. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. When she was about to faint away out of pain, she seemed to notice that Golden looked mad again. He suddenly reached out his hand to drag away her bath towel from her body and then threw it into the bathtub. Then he sneered, "Remember! It''s I who have the only right to ask for divorce!" While speaking, he bit on her thin and fair shoulder. "Ahhhh¡­" Margery frowned out of pain. It was so painful that she kept struggling and tried to get rid of it. She had been staying alone in this house for the past three years. Her heart was rendered ice-cold because of upset and pain. She hated him for getting so close to her. Though she was reluctant, her body still went against her will and reacted out of instinct. Though she felt exceedingly hurt, she still wanted him to take further move. "Emmmm¡­." Margery couldn''t help biting her lips hard while curling up her toes. She was aware that she couldn''t bail herself out tonight. She turned her back on Golden while his cold and sharp breath fell onto her body. She closed her tearful eyes and said calmly, "I am not on my safe period." Golden raised his head while looking at her nape. Margery was still being pinned down on the ground just like a dead animal, unmoved, which rendered him bored. Golden let go of her and then stood up to look at her from above with his freezing cold eyes, "Do you think that I will show you mercy even if you stopped struggling? I will spare your life to make you keep going. Since you dared to hurt Vivian three years ago, I will take times to torture you to death!" When he was mentioning about Vivian, he looked quite tender. However, when seeing that, Margery felt like being stung. She could only lie on the cold ground as if her blood was frozen, stiff. She felt painful all over but also numb. "I know she meant everything for you! But I have never hurt her! Never! I have never bribed the surgeon to hurt her! Why don''t you listen to me though I kept exining? You have been investigating for years and you haven''t even found any evidence to prove my guilt! If you had found out the proof, I would have been sent into the prison long ago!" Of course, Margery didn''t even know about the surgeon at that time, not to mention that she might give him a call in advance. However, the surgeon died in a car ident the next day, which rendered her unable to have a chance to defend herself! Margery turned her head aside while tears were streaming down her cheek. Tears wetted her hairs but also struck her heart. Golden always went crazy whenever he mentioned about Vivian. Actually, Vivian was the cousin of Margery, who was ravishing and deadly attractive. She had been known as the top debutante in this city. However, she was suddenly diagnosed as having uremia. The organ transntation surgery was well conducted after she was sent into the hospital. However, the oxygen inhaler went wrong suddenly and there was no enough oxygen supply, which led to a great impact on her brain because of oxygen deficit. Unfortunately, she was trapped intoa and lying on the bed of the VIP ward. There was no hope unless a miracle happened. Of course, Margery also felt so sad about it. That was also thest thing she wanted to see. Obviously, Golden went mad at this moment because it reminded him of the miserable consequence of Vivian. His face was burning with anger while he was ring at her. After a while, he suddenly bent over to bit her fair neck, where there left a bloody teeth print. Hearing that she was about to cry out of pain, he raised his head and smiled when looking at her, while the lips of whom was stained by blood, "You''d better pray that I will never find out the evidence against you." After saying that, he stood up elegantly and then wiped his lips in front of the mirror with tissues. Then he turned around and left. Then, the door sounded loud after being mmed. The bathroom was even shaking a bit because of that. Not only did he show her indifference during the past three years, but also kept torturing her in the same way just like a moment ago. He viewed her as his lifelong enemy. Golden could do nothing about the pain Vivian was suffering. He was so sad and powerless that he needed someone to vent out! While Margery, as the cousin of Vivian, was suspected to be the culprit. So she turned to be the main target of retaliation for Golden. Margery smiled with self-mockery. She tried to suppress her sad feelings and stood up while gasping for air. She got another bath towel to wrap her slender body. Then she covered her wound on the shoulder and walked into the smallest bedroom. She took her cotton night dress and put it on. Suddenly, her phone ced on the night table rang. She bent over to grab her phone. It was a call from the teacher of kindergarten. Suddenly, she was rendered quite anxious and her heart was beating fast. "Yes, I am Andrew''s mom. What''s the matter with him?" Chapter 6 Daddy Loves You Chapter 6 Daddy Loves You When Margery drove to the kindergarten located at the suburban area of the city at full speed, it was about 5:30 AM in the morning. The sun just began to rise. She immediately hopped off the car even before she could park it well. She was still wearing the white night dress she put onst night while she was only covered with a ck jacket and stepping in a pair of ck slippers. Obviously, she was in a hurry to reach here. Ms. Doyle, the teacher who made a call to her, had already been waiting outside the gate. When seeing Margery arrive, she led her into the room of Andrew. Then she said anxiously, "Miss Margery, I saw Andrew covering her belly while saying that he had a stomachache when I was checkingst night. I took his temperature but I noticed that he didn''t have a fever. Nor did he have a cold. So I gave him a ss of water and rubbed against his belly. But he still said that he was having a stomachache. Then I noticed that he was getting worse. So I immediately made a call to you. Luckily, you arrived in time. It''s too remote here and there is only a clinic nearby. So I suggest that you should send him to the hospital for a check immediately." "I know. Andrew has been suffering from gastric disease. Perhaps it was a rpse. I am going to send him to the hospital right now. Thank you for you call, Ms. Doyle." After saying thanks, Margery bent over to hold Andrew up, who was still covering his own belly, frowning out of pain. When seeing that, she felt that tears welled up in her eyes. She immediately rushed out of the room and kept saying, "Andrew, my baby, wake up! Tell me! Where else do you ache besides your stomach?" All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Andrew was in a bad sleep. So he was soon woken up as Margery was running. He opened his tearful eyes and looked quite happy when seeing his mom. His lips looked pale but he still smiled, "Mom, it seems that there was a worm crawling in my stomach and I felt really pain. But I feel much better when I see you." Andrew, a two-year-old kid, was thin and weak. His hairs were brown and soft while her chin was slim and V-shaped. While holding him in her arms, Margery couldn''t even feel his weight as if she were holding air, which rendered her quite worried. When hearing that he still tried tofort her, Margery couldn''t help kissing her tender cheek, "Andrew, just sleep for a while. Mommy will drive you to the hospital. And I will ask the doctor to get the worm out of your stomach, okay?" "Okay." Andrew nodded. Soon, they arrived at the hospital. When the doctor was doing a check for Andrew in the room, he felt even more painful while sweating. He couldn''t help whining. When seeing his twisted face, Margery was heartbroken. She could only pat his back gently tofort him, "Babe, mommy will always stay with you! Don''t worry. You will be fine!" The doctors soon reached an agreement after taking the diagnosis paper¡ªthey must perform surgery for Andrew right now. When hearing their decision, Margery felt like being shocked by a bolt from the blue. Her mind suddenly went nk. She stammered, "He is only two years old. Is it necessary to have a surgery?" "As we can see from the X-ray, a shadow appears on his liver. It should be a fester at an early stage. If there is only an expectant treatment conducted with Chinese medicine, it might not work well as his gastric and intestinal systems are too weak. So the medicine won''t take much effect. The longer the fester maintains, the worse the impact on him would be unless a surgery is conducted. That''s the only option." Of course, Margery could tell that the doctor was right as she also majored in medical specialty. But she still hesitated as she was shocked. Andrew''s health started to get worse again and again. So there was no room for her to hesitate. She believed that her loving son must be blessed. Margery didn''t hesitate and made up her mind. She signed the risk notice and followed the nurse towards the operation room after changing Andrew''s clothes into hospital gown. As sensible as Andrew was, hey on the stretcher while holding Margery''s hand tight. He blinked his big and watery eyes, looking expectant, "Mom, I will listen to you and the doctors. I will stay strong and stop crying. Can I see daddy after operation? Ms. Doyle told me that daddy hadn''te to see me for weeks. I really miss him." When seeing his eyes filled with expectation, Margery felt like tears surging up into her eyes. She tried to hold back her tears and kept nodding, feeling pain, "Babe, I promise to you that you will see daddy after operation. You will! I promise! I love you¡­" Margery hesitated but she then continued firmly, "Daddy loves you!" "I see." Andrew smiled. He still struggled to move his pale lips. But she could barely hear his weak voice. Margery immediately approached. When hearing his words, Margery could never control herself again. Tears kept streaming down her cheek just like waterfall and they all fell onto Andrew and wetted his soft hairs. Because her sweetie was saying, "I love you, mommy¡­I love¡­I love daddy, too¡­" It rendered her heartbroken. When Andrew was taken into the operation room, Margery wiped away her tears. She tried hard to keep her swollen and bloodshot eyes opened and dialed Golden''s number. The line wasn''t connected until quite a whileter. Then, a deep voice sounded, where there hidden impatience, "What''s the matter?" Margery took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, "Andrew is having operation in the hospital. Can youeter?" "No, I don''t have any time." After saying those cold words, he hung up the phone. Margery gritted her teeth and dialed his number again. However, it was hung up again. She grabbed her phone hard with her pale fingers. She seemed to freeze on spot just like a stiff statue. After quite a while, she suddenly collected herself. When she thought of the expectant eyes of Andrew, she suddenly turned around and teetered out of the hospital. When she reached Golden''spany, she was stopped by the front deskdy and the security guards. She couldn''t even go to her husband''s office without appointment. What was worse, she still failed to contact him with phone. She had no choice but to keep waiting outside the building. After waiting for hours, she finally saw Golden. However, something unexpected happened. Chapter 7 It Was Vivian! Chapter 7 It Was Vivian! "Why? Why is she? Why is Vivian?" Margery was rendered totally stunned when seeing Golden staring at the ravishingdy leaning against his chest. He looked so infatuated that he seemed to drown himself in love. However, Margery still remembered that Vivian should still lie onto the bed in the VIP Ward, paralyzed. Why was Vivian leaning against the chest of Golden, the nominal husband of Margery? Was it a miracle? Vivian finally awoke? She looked with great disbelief at Vivian who slightly raised up her chin while her attractive eyes were glistering. Then she said softly, "Oh, Margery, long time no see. I didn''t expect we would meet here. It has been three years, right? When I woke up this morning, I really wanted to meet him. So he asked his chauffeur to send me here. But I am too weak as I have been lying on the bed for the past three years. I couldn''t even catch my breath after taking two steps ahead. Golden really felt sorry for seeing me so tired. So he insisted that he would hold me up all the way to the hospital¡­So we are fine¡­ Margery, please don''t be mistaken." After saying that, Vivian kept gasping for air. She loosened her fair arms wrapping on his neck and tried to get off, "Golden, put me down. I don''t want her to be mistaken." "Don''t worry. It''s none of her business." Golden didn''t let go of her. Instead, he held her even more tightly. He ignored Margery and bypassed her. Then he strode towards his Bentley, which was only a few meters away from him. Margery was rendered speechless when hearing his words. Her heart seemed to fall into the abyss. She stood still and saw Golden bend over carefully to put Vivian into the car. Then he kissed on her cheek gently. Margery felt freezing cold all over. The in building painted with ck and white looked even more suffocating in her eyes at this moment. However, when she recalled that her loving son was still enduring extreme pain in the operation room while holding great expectation that his daddy woulde to see him after operation, she immediately held back her sadness and hurried forward to catch him. "Wait!" Margery couldn''t help taking a step back when seeing his cold eyes. However, she mustered up courage to drag his arm and begged anxiously, "Please, Andrew was having operation in the hospital and he said he missed you! It won''t take you much time. Only one hour¡­no, only ten minutes would be enough. Please, Andrew is expecting you. He really misses you!" All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Golden didn''t want to respond with his lips pressed tight. He lowered his head to stare at her hand grabbing hard on his. However, he noticed that the back of her hand was so pale that her veins could be clearly seen. But he still huffed, "Get off me!" "I will never unless you say yes!" said Margery in a trembling voice. Margery grabbed his arm even harder while her eyes were blurred with tears. When she saw him looking at her, she kept begging more sincerely, "I know you hate me! But don''t hate Andrew! Andrew is innocent! He is also your son! What can I do for you to make you see Andrew for only once?" She even made up her mind that she was willing to sacrifice herself if Golden agreed to see Andrew in the hospital this time. "Are you still going to fool me with the excuse that Andrew is sick? Don''t you see that I am busy now?" Golden sneered. "It''s true! I didn''t lie to you! Golden, I know you have been busy! But you are only busy staying with Vivian, right? I should know that both Andrew and I mean nothing to you whenpared with Vivian!" Margery murmured with her hoarse voice while moving her lips. She felt a bang of pain going all over her body from her heart into every single cell. Though the sunlight in autumn was warm, she still felt freezing cold while trembling all over. A trace of weird expression shed across his face. But Golden still turned a blind eye to it and got her hands off his arm. Then he sat into the car with an emotionless face and said to the chauffeur coldly, "Let''s go." Vivian, who was leaning against his chest, was looking at Margery who was standing outside the car with a heartrending face. A trace of hatred shed across her eyes. But she still said softly, "Golden, Margery is my cousin. I feel bad to see her being so sad. Just go to see Andrew after sending me to the hospital. After all, he is your son. I don''t want others to use you of being a cruel dad." "You have been so kind to others and you have always been concerned with them. But that vicious bitch never views you as her cousin." Golden raised his head to smooth her hairs. But he was still staring at Margery from the rear mirror, who was standing still, looking weak and feeble. He didn''t say anything until quite a whileter, "I know what I should do." Chapter 8 Return Chapter 8 Return Margery was rendered quite depressed as she failed to convince Golden to go to the hospital. She managed to light up her head and went back to the hospital. But the door of the operation room was still closed. The red signal light above the door was still shining. Her loving baby was still kept into the room. Margery leaned against the window beside her, stiff. She raised her head while her face was wet by tears. Her face was exceedingly pale as if she were about to faint away the next second. Finally, a nurse felt really sympathetic to her and came over. She handed Margery some food, "Ms. Bryne, please have some food. Don''t damage your own body. Think about your son. He is still waiting for you." "Thank you." Margery said thanks with hoarse voice. She took the food and opened the package with trembling fingers. Then she started to eat it, feeling numb and tasteless. She forced herself to take a few bites. But she suddenly threw up all over into the trash can as her stomach was surging up. She put down the chopsticks and then threw away the rest of the food into the trash can. Suddenly, she heard footsteps sounding from behind, which were getting closer and closer. It seemed to strike her heart. She immediately turned around and saw a tall man wearing a cold face. He was standing behind her emotionlessly while smoking. When seeing that, Margery couldn''t help being stunned. Such an unexpected surprise really made her go nk all of a sudden. She sobbed, "Why are you here?" "Vivian asked me toe." He took a whiff of smoke but he didn''t look at her. Two secondster, he uttered, "Only ten minutes." Ten minutes? It was totally not enough. It still took quite a lot of time before the operation was finished. Her glittering eyes started to darken again. Of course, she knew that Golden came here just because of Vivian, never for the sake of Andrew and her. Margery took a deep breath and prayed that the operation would be finished as soon as possible. Only then could Andrew see his daddy, whom he had been missing. He had barely met his father since he was born. He was so eager to see Golden. Time passed by gradually. Soon, ten minutes had gone. Golden looked at his watch. Then he turned around and was about to leave. Margery was anxious. She immediately rushed forward to stop him, "Could you¡­could you please wait for a while? The operation is about to be finished soon. I promise it won''t take you much time." Golden sneered. Then, his cold and cruel request sounded beside her ears again, "I can wait for a while. But as return, you have to please me just like what you had done at the wedding night!" Golden had never slept with any other woman since the wedding night three years ago as there was no woman who could turn him on again. As for Pansy, he only viewed her as amon femalepanion for banquet only. When he sent Vivian back to the VIP ward in the municipal hospital in the morning, he stayed with her for a while as she insisted with great passion. However, as she had just woken up, he managed to hold back his desire. So when he saw the pitiful but nice-looking face of Margery, he felt like burning with desire again. Though he hated her, he still deemed her a nice target to vent out his own desire as she was pretty and well-shaped. When hearing him mentioning about the wedding night, Margery suddenly turned pale and her shoulder kept trembling out of fear. It reminded her of that nightmare feelings. But she was quite aware how cold-blooded he was especially when he was facing her. Since he mentioned that, there was no room for her to refuse. Tears still streamed down her cheek though she had been holding them back, "Okay." When seeing her crystal tears, Golden was suddenly rendered a bit agitated. Half an hourter, Andrew was taken out of the operation room and Margery followed the nurse into the ward. After a while, Andrew woke up as the narcotic had gone. He opened his big eyes weakly. When seeing both Margery and Golden standing beside the bed, he was rendered so excited that his face turned ruddy. He licked his little lips and said in a weak voice, "Daddy, is that you? Am I dreaming?" Golden bent over and stared at his emaciated face, which even highlighted his big eyes. When seeing that, he couldn''t help feeling a bit stunned. But soon he replied casually, "No, you are not." Though he only responded simply, Andrew was still feeling excited. He grabbed Margery''s hand. Though he hesitated, he still reached out his own hand to grab Golden''s. He put their hands together and looked quite excited for a while. Then he leaned into her warm hug. Soon, he fell asleep, looking haggard. Margery held him tightly in her arms and checked him carefully all over. After making sure that he was fine, Margery finally breathed a sigh of relief. As Andrew slept with a funny pose, he even drooled and it fell onto the back of Golden''s hand. When seeing that, Margery became amused. But she didn''t dare tough out. She tried to hold it back by keeping her mouth shut but her face turned to be a bit swollen. Seeing that she smiled so happily and no longer disguised her emotions, Golden could tell that Andrew should be fine now. Though he was a neat freak, he seemed to be a bit stunned when seeing her lovely smile. He withdrew his hand and uttered as cold as usual, "Go to the East vi tonight at 9:00 PM!" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. His deep and cold voice sounded again. When hearing that, Margery couldn''t help holding Andrew more tightly while her face turned pale. Golden walked out of the ward. When he reached the hall on the ground floor, he suddenly walked over to the counter in front of which those patients came to pay for the medical fee. Then he called the chauffeur, who was waiting in the car and made hime in to pay the fee for Andrew. While the cashier was working on theputer, Golden lit up a cigarette. His clear-cut handsome face was covered among the smoke. No one could see clearly the expression his face. Two minutester, the chauffeur said to him with great respect, "Mr. Barrett, it''s done." "Well." Golden nodded slightly and then stubbed out the butt. He threw in into the trash can and turned around to leave. His chauffeur also followed him out of the hospital. When they had just walked out of the gate, a woman with ravishing face walked to the counter elegantly. She let out a cold smile. "Listen up, just hold up the fee that the gentleman just paid for three days. After that, you can have the money if no one asked about it. Well, if someone did so, just tell him that there is wrong with the system." After saying so, she handed a credit card to the cashier with her fair and slim fingers, "Here is your reward. There is fifty thousand in total." The cashier hesitated for a while when looking at this elegantdy. But she still took the card as her greed outweighed her conscience. Chapter 9 Is Daddy Always Busy? Chapter 9 Is Daddy Always Busy? In the afternoon, Margery went to the counter to pay the medical fee for Andrew. After swiping the credit card for payment, she noticed that she still needed forty thousand to pay off the rest. "Ms. Bryne, ording to the rules here, you have to pay off the rest within 24 hours." When noticing the disdainful look of the cashier, Margery took back her card and smiled awkwardly, "Okay." She put the card back into her wallet and sighed. She walked to the lobby to make a call, feeling upset, "Z, it''s me. How much working fund do we still have?" Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. "Margery, don''t you remember that we only have less than four thousand left? If we still have no supply of special medicine, we couldn''t even pay off the sry of our staffs. Please do something about it." "Okay, I see." Margery hung up the phone, feeling powerless. Her eyes seemed to darken again. She suddenly had an urge to dial Golden''s number. She swiped on her phone out of subconsciousness. However, just as she clicked on his number, she immediately clicked again to cancel the cal. She leaned against the wall and let out a bitter smile. If Golden had been willing to do her a favor, he would have done so earlier. Now, her only option was to sell her own car. Though her mini sedan was only worth three hundred thousand, it was thest heritage she got from her family. However, she still had to sell it for the sake of Andrew. Margery told the carer to take care of Andrew. Then she drove her car to a used-car market. As she was badly in need of cash, she only sold her own car with a price of a hundred thousand. However, a hundred thousand was only enough to pay off the sry for staffs. She still had no idea what she should do to pay off the medical fee for Andrew. Margery frowned and walked out of the market. She walked for a mile to reach a bus stop nearby just because she needed to save money. When she arrived at the gate of the hospital, she noticed that her heels were bleeding and her ankles felt exceedingly painful due to sprain. She bent over to rub against her ankle. Not until then did she feel better. She slowly stood up straight and turned around. Suddenly, she saw someone unexpected. She said with a smile, "What''s the matter, Miss Gibson?" Pansy looked haggard as if she were encountering something miserable. Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred. She then questioned, "Margery, did you speak ill of me in front of Golden? Why did he offer me a check with ten million for the rescission of our contract? He just promised to mest night that he would go to the press conference with me for my new TV series." "Ten million aspensation for your breakup? He is really generous." Margery smiled bitterly, which was even highlighted because of the cold autumn wind. "That''s not the point!" Pansy stared at her, who still looked exceedingly calm. She was even wondering if Margery went crazy. Pansy red at her and cursed, "Bitch! Golden has been with me for three years! He has never mentioned about breakup! However, just after he saw youst night, he asked for a breakup today! It must be because of you!" "I didn''t!" Margery clenched her fists and swallowed to hold back her sadness. She raised her head and smiled bitterly, "Have you heard of Vivian Martin? The top beauty in this city. She was turned into a vegetable three years ago because of medical negligence. But she suddenly woke up this morning. She even came to Golden''spany to see him regardless of her own weak body. That''s why he offered you a breakup check." Even Margery herself had never expected that Pansy, who was well-known, young and pure, was still overtaken by Vivian. She should have known earlier that only Vivian was his beloved one. "Vivian Martin? She woke up?" Pansy''s face darkened immediately and mixed feelings surged up in her heart. Then, she turned around and hurried to leave. After she left, Margery stood still for a while. She made a call to Z. When her staff arrived, Margery handed the money to her. Then she teetered towards Andrew''s ward with her sprained ankles. Andrew just woke up and the carer was feeding him with porridge. When seeing Margerying in, he blinked his big eyes excitedly. However, he was upset when noticing that Golden didn''t appear from behind, "Mom, is daddy busy every single day?" "Yes, daddy is very busy." Margery walked over and helped to wash his face. Then she tucked him in and started to read a story with a book beside the bed. Before she could finish the second story, Andrew fell into sleep again. Margery put aside the book and raised her eyes to look outside the window. As night fell, her heart felt heavy. She stood up and let out a deep breath. She told the carer something she had to notice while taking care of Andrew. Then she took her bag and walked out of the ward. She still remembered the request of Golden¡ªshe needed to go to the East Vi to please him tonight. She never dared to go against his order. Chapter 10 Being Humiliated Chapter 10 Being Humiliated In the freezing cold bedroom, Golden smiled evilly, looking horrible, "You may start now." His cold words stung her ears. Margery couldn''t help trembling. She bent over to unbuckle the first pearl-shaped button on his shirt. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Suddenly, her wrist felt sharp pain the next second and Golden threw her onto the ground mercilessly. He strangled her again, making her unable to nudge a bit. She could do nothing but to see his horrible face approaching. His dark eyes made her feel cold all over. Then Golden sneered, "Remember, that''s what you deserve because of what you have done to Vivian before! You have to pay the price!" After saying that, he pinned her on the bed. It seemed to be an era for her when he finished. As Margery finally got herself out of pain, the cold mockery sounded from above, "You kept saying no but your body still did the best to respond. Just like what you have been doing during the past three years¡ªyou keep iming that you are innocent after plotting against Vivian! Margery, you are the most hypocritical slut I have ever seen!" Margery managed to support herself up, though still trembling. She raised her head to fix her eyes on him. Then she let out a bitter smile while tears shedding down her cheek, "Golden, you are right! I am the most hypocritical slut! And Vivian has been the purest and kindest one! Hope you both live a beatific life together!" Seeing that Margery still say so with tears streaming down her face, Golden couldn''t help squinting and then said chilling words again, "Don''t try to y any dirty tricks again! She is much better than you! You are nothing whenpared with her! If you dared to plot against her again, I would definitely kill you!" After saying so, he took out a lighter from his pocket and lit up a cigarette. Then he walked away without looking back. The door was then mmed shut. ''It''s okay. Andrew is with me¡­Stop crying¡­'' Margery murmured to herself. Margery took a bus to the hospital the next morning, feeling ache all over. When seeing her, Andrew threw himself into her arms, "Mom, I want to stay here forever." "Why?" Margery touched his nose. "Because daddy won''te to see me if I go to the kindergarten." Andrew pouted, looking sad. When seeing his tearful eyes, Margery felt a bang of pain in her heart. She touched his emaciated face. Tears surged up in her eyes as well, "Babe, don''t cry. Daddy is busy managing his bigpany. He will definitely go to see you if he has time." "But daddy is always busy. I will be stolen if he doesn''te again to y with me." Andrew wriggled in her arms and reached out his hands to wipe away the tears on Margery''s face, "Don''t cry, mom. I can y with myself. It''s okay if daddy is busy." Margery hugged him tightly. She shook her head and smiled, "I am not crying. My eyes just ached because of the wind." Though Golden hated her, she wouldn''t ask for more since she had such a lovely and sensible baby. While she was distracted, the carer pushed the door opened and came in with a smile, "Ms. Bryne, someone is expecting you." "Who?" Margery hurried to blink her eyes to remove tears. She held Andrew up and put him onto the bed gently. Then she stood up and walked out of the ward as calm as usual. Chapter 11 The Truth Chapter 11 The Truth Margery walked to the corridor and saw that it was Vivian, whose face was tiny but so incredibly delicate that no one could tell exactly how charming she was. She still said with a tender smile, "Vivian, what''s the matter?" Ever since the medical ident happened, after which Golden hated her from the bottom of his heart, Margery''s family had been totally destroyed after going bankrupt because of the retaliation from the Martin Family. Even her parents hadmitted suicide because of such a great impact. From then on, Margery had been a stranger to Vivian, even including her whole family. Of course, Margery felt happy for Vivian when she woke up luckily. However, she couldn''t do anything more than that. Not even a simple greeting. "I heard that Andrew was sick and your little clinic was about to go bankrupt. So I am here to see how anxious you are. And let''s talk about the ident three years ago." Vivian coughed for a while weakly and then moved her rosy lips to utter, "Margery, I have been lying on the bed for three years and you have been tortured by Golden during that period. Well, to be honest, I really feel sorry for you." There was even a clear trace ofcence shown on her face. Margery flung her hairs backwards behind her ears. Then she smiled slightly, "I have been his wife for the past three years and I have my own son, Andrew. I feel quite happy for my own." "But now I have woken up! I will soon smash your happy life." Vivian suddenly let out harsh words though she said in a soft and tender voice while her eyes still looked beautiful as before. "Since I have managed to make Golden hate you so much with plot three years ago, I can still do the same thing today." "What do you mean?" Margery no longer looked calm again. She seemed to suddenly recall something. Her face darkened and she stared at Vivian with great disbelief. Her face was even twisted because of anger, "I remember that you asked me for my phone before the surgery. And you said that you wanted to call your mom. But you didn''t. You actually called the surgeon! Why? Why did you do that?" "Golden has loved you so much and so has your family. You can ask for whatever you want from them! Why wasn''t you satisfied with everything you had? My family and I have never done anything to hurt you! Why did you plot against me and my family?" Margery said in a trembling voice. The sadness was about to explode from the bottom of her heart, "Why? Tell me the reason, Vivian! Why did you destroy my family? Why?!" "You want to know why?" Vivian suddenly raised up her fair chin and smiled with her lips pressed, "I will tell you the reason when you are dying! In other words, you will never know the reason before you die!" "Vivian! How dare you!" Margery was trembling all over and she suddenly pped Vivian on her face hard, "I p you for my family and also for my parents!" R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Then Margery pped her again, looking pain all over on her face, "I p for myself this time! Vivian, if you still kept conscience in your mind, you have to kneel in front of the tomb of my parents and beg for pardon!" After Margery pped her, continuous footsteps sounded in the corridor. Seeing that the man wearing a horrible face was approaching behind Margery, Vivian covered her own swollen face and blinked her eyes weakly while pretending to be weak and tender. Tears started to well up in her eyes. She looked quite pitiful at this moment, "Margery, you almost made me a vegetable forever three years ago. And you have also captured the heart of Golden! What else do you want from me?" "Shut up! Stop pretending!" Margery was so outrageous that she was about to p her again. When she just raised her hand with anger, she was suddenly grabbed on the neck and thrown backwards because of a strong forceing from behind. Chapter 12 Wound Chapter 12 Wound The force was so strong that she was thrown onto the wall behind. Suddenly, she felt a bang of pain coming from the back of her head. Soon, something warm started to stream down her nape from her head. Soon, her shirt was totally wet. Margery gritted her teeth and supported herself up by holding the wall with her trembling hands. Before she could move her pale lips to exin herself, the cold voice sounded from above again, "Margery, if you dare to hurt Vivian again, I will take over the custody of Andrew and also your only property¡ªthe clinic you own! And I will transfer both of them to Vivian. Every time you want to see Andrew, you will have to beg her for permission! What about that?" When hearing that, Margery couldn''t help trembling all over. She raised her pale face, feeling cold down her arms. She stared at this attractive man wearing a handsome face with great disbelief, who had just hurt her again with sharp words. Not only did she feel pain at the back of her head, but she felt like being stabbed into the heart by a sharp knife as if it were being cut into pieces. Her love for him during these years was nothing but a big joke! She clenched her fists so hard that her nails almost prated her palms. She tried hard to hold back the heartrending feelings and forced a weird smile, "Golden, you will definitely regret believing her one day!" Golden frowned, showing no intention to respond. He took up his tailored suit jacket elegantly and put it on Vivian, who still looked feeble. Then he hugged her into his arms and walked towards the elevator. While walking, heforted her in a soft tone, "I know you cherish your own pretty face. I will ask the best doctor in this city to cure your face in two days. And I know that he happens to work here now." Though Vivian''s face swollen and she felt pain, she leaned against his strong chest with acent smile. Then she said in a tender tone, "It was just a mere p. I am fine. Golden, don''t be so anxious next time." "I never deem myself too anxious because I did this for you." Golden hugged her tight and his frowning face seemed to rx. While walking away, he suddenly nced at Margery with his seemingly calm but chilling eyes. Then he turned his back on her. Margery looked at him as well calmly. Then, she always turned around with her back on him and staggered forward. She didn''t want her son to see her awkward look right now. So when she was about to reach the ward of Andrew, she immediately rushed forward with her head down while biting her lips hard to hold back the pain feelings. However, she still heard Andrew asking the carer softly that he wanted to see his mom after she left for so long. Suddenly, all grievance and pain buried in her mind exploded. Tears streamed down her cheek continuously. No matter how hard she set her teeth to pretend to stay strong when facing Golden and Vivian, she now totally copsed because of the words of her sweetheart. Margery walked out of the hospital with tearful eyes. Then she noticed that Melvin was standing at the gate of a supermarket nearby, who was fixing his eyes on her with great surprise. As Melvin knew her well, he could tell that Margery must have suffered again because of Golden. He immediately dropped the two bags he was holding and rushed over. He hugged her with his hands pressing on her head and huffed, "I saw you being sad or crying every time I met you! Tell me, what did that bastard do to you?" Margery felt pain when his hands pressed on the back of her head. She immediately struggled to get herself off his hug while biting her lips. Then she shook her head awkwardly, "Nothing. He did nothing to me." When feeling something wet streaming down the back of her head, Melvin immediately walked forward to check her head. When seeing the blood stain, he could feel his own hearting beating fiercely. He was about to explode out of rage, "You still want to keep me in the dark, huh? If he did nothing to you, why did your eyes look tearful? Why did your head bleed? Why are you being so timid? Why don''t you fight back when he hit you? I still stay by your side even if you lost your family! Let''s go to see a doctor and have your wound bandaged! Let me take care of the fee! You don''t need to ask him for help again!" "My wound has scabbed. It''s okay. I will go for a doctor to deal with it." Margery didn''t want Melvin to get involved. So she grabbed his arms to stop him. Then she continued calmly, "Well, I need your help for something urgent."All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Chapter 13 Sell the Clinic Chapter 13 Sell the Clinic After figuring out an excuse to make Melvin leave, Margery went to see the nurse who sent her food before. Then she bought some bandages and medical disinfectant. She decided to bandage her own wound by herself. She didn''t think it was necessary toe to a doctor. Besides, she still had to pay the forty thousand medical fees for Andrew. She had to save money as much as she could. "Thank you, Ms. Willis." Margery nodded at the nurse and then walked towards thedy''s room. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. "Ms. Bryne, where are you going? The doctor is over there!" Noticing that there was something wrong with Margery, Willis followed her behind. When she followed Margery into thedy''s room, she saw her reaching out the back of her head and struggled to bandage herself while looking at the mirror. Willis was rendered agitated. She immediately walked over and grabbed the bandage to bind up her head in a professional way. Then she said with concern, "Ms. Bryne, you are bleeding so much! You have to go to see a doctor! You shouldn''t be so mean to yourself even if you did this to save money! What if your husband knows about it? He will definitely be sad!" Sad? Margery sat on a chair ced in thedy''s room with her head down. Though she felt a bang of pain in her heart, she still kept silent while Willis was cleaning her wound and binding up her head. Suddenly, she let out a sneer out of self-mockery. She got hurt just because of Golden! How could it be possible that he would be sad for her? Golden would only be sad for the sake of Vivian! When seeing that she was so distracted, Willis nudged her shoulder and joked, "Hey, Ms. Bryne, I noticed that you just smiled and looked absent-minded when I mentioned your husband just now! Ms. Bryne, you are so pretty and you love him so much! Your husband must be the most fortunate man in the world." "Probably." Margery still looked calm as usual. However, she clenched her fists hard while both her arms hung loosely beside her thighs. Willis soon finished bandaging her wound. She then took off the hairpin. Margery'' long and smooth hair hung down naturally and totally covered the bandage. Then Willis smiled, "Okay, perfect! Now your hairs have covered the bandage. No one could tell that you have a wound on your head." "Thank you, Ms. Wallis." Margery looked quite grateful to her. She smiled and said thanks to her again. When she just walked out of thedy''s room, she got a call from Melvin, "Margery, I have finished what you asked me to do. Surprise, right? Don''t worry. I have told some of my friends to do that for me. No matter how well- informed Golden is, he will never know that it was I who transferred the money to you. And I think you should get the money now. Two hundred thousand. Is it enough for the medical fee for Andrew? If you need more, I can offer you an extra sum of money of five million! After all, you are still known as Mrs. Barrett! But now you live such a miserable life, why don''t youe back to me? To be girlfriend, okay?" Margery grabbed her phone hard and simply ignored his crazy request. She forced out a smile with her lips pressed, "Thank you for the acquisition of my clinic. I will treat you to dinner when I am free. That''s it. Bye." Now she had totally realized the truth after hearing what Vivian was saying and being set up by her again. However, she still had no idea why Vivian hated her so much. Though she did nothing wrong, Vivian would still set her up. Golden would definitely take away her clinic and the custody of Andrew and transferred them to Vivian. Now, since she had sold her clinic, she had to figure out a way to seize the custody of Andrew. Margery was thinking about a solution while she was walking back to the ward of Andrew. However, when she passed by a doctor office, while the door of which was unclosed, she happened to take a glimpse. However, she had never expected that she would see such a ''sweet'' scene. Chapter 14 Kiss Chapter 14 Kiss Golden was sitting on the leather-made sofa with his legs spread. He lowered his head and stared at Vivian with tender eyes, whom he just took back from the misfortune. "Golden, my face is better. Don''t worry. Let the chauffeur drive me home. I am okay to stay alone." Vivian leaned against his chest and touched her own swollen face. As she felt it better, she raised her delicate face to stare at him. She let out a weak breath and said kindly, "Margery hit the wall so bad just know. She must get hurt. Just go to see her. After all, she is the mom of Andrew." When hearing her mentioning about Margery''s wound, Golden squinted and said coldly, "I don''t need to. I know myself well. She won''t hurt much." "Sorry, she must get mad because I was too close to you¡­" Vivian curled herself up, looking pitiful. Suddenly, tears shed down her cheek, "Golden, please don''te to see me anymore! Margery is your wife and I am her cousin. We can''t stay close anymore." "Wife?" Golden sneered with coldness hidden in his eyes, "If it weren''t because of the fact that she bribed the surgeon to hurt you three years ago, she would never have been my wife." "Stop, Golden." Vivian looked at him with her tearful eyes and said firmly with her soft voice, "Though she did hurt me three years ago, now I am lucky enough to wake up again, right? Since she has been your wife, I won''t me her for this for the sake of you." "Golden, you should know how awkward our rtionship is. We shouldn''t meet so often. To be honest, I really feel bad for hurting Margery and Andrew. I love you. So I should be 100% concerned about you. I don''t want others to gossip about you that you are cruel too both of your own wife and son!" After saying that, she frowned and had the urge to say something more. However, she held it back, looking painful. Of course, she knew Golden well since they had been together for years. She knew what she should do to make him hate Margery even more. As expect, Golden looked sullen again. Horrible hatred crawled up his face again, "I will get the custody of Andrew and make you his stepmother. Then we won''t need to face any awkward situation." "But I don''t think it''s a good way." Vivian lowered her head, looking timid. Her hairs hung down her face and happened to cover hercent face. Golden hugged her tight and kissed on her cheek, "That''s the best way for you! Just do as I said!" Vivian nodded and smiled with her eyes closed, where there hidden a trace of agitation. She would never let him know about the truth twenty years ago. As long as she could stay by his side, she would never let him know the truth! Margery leaned against the wall, shivering. She covered her ears with her hands with great pain. She couldn''t bear to hear them continue. Golden actually nned to make Vivian the stepmother of Andrew?! Margery had nothing left but her son since she lost her whole family three years ago. How could he be so cruel to her?! Ten dayster, Andrew had almost recovered and there was no post symptom haunting him. There was no much time left for Margery. She was so afraid that Golden would take him away. After paying the carer money, she immediately packed everything up and held Andrew in her arms, who was still sleeping, befuddled. She hurried to get out of the ward and went to the ground floor by taking elevator. After finishing the discharge procedure, she rushed out of the hospital. When she finally hopped into the taxi, she felt a bang of pain from her heart. She couldn''t help shivering all over and slouched onto the narrow back seat. "Lady, be careful." The driver suddenly noticed that there was a pedestrian rushing out from the roadside. He turned around to notice her to hold Andrew tight. Then he made a sharp turn. The car scratched the roadside and then galloped forward. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "Okay." When hearing that, Margery collected herself and hugged Andrew more tightly. Suddenly, the car jolted fiercely, which woke him up. Andrew slowly opened his eyes. He immediately felt the trembling hands of his mom. He struggled to raise his hands to touch her face, "Mom, do you feel hurt? Let me give you a massage. You will be better then. Are we going home?" "Yes, we are going home." Margery patted his little hand gently and let out a bitter smile. However, they were not heading the cold vi of Golden, but the old vi of the Bryne family. Chapter 15 Golden, I Hate You Chapter 15 Golden, I Hate You An hourter, Margery stood inside the parlor of the vi of the Bryne family with Andrew by her side. She often came here to do some cleaning when she was free and she would also bring some commodities here. So, though the vi looked empty, it was still clean. After feeding Andrew some food, she took him to take a shower and then tucked him in. Margeryy on the bed exhaustedly, feeling so tired that she didn''t even want to nudge a bit. When she was about to fall asleep, suddenly, the light was on. Margery opened her eyes slightly. When she noticed that it was Golden, whom she hadn''t seen for ten days, she suddenly trembled all over as a cold shiver ran down her spine. She immediately sat straight up on the bed and tried to block his sight falling on Andrew with her weak and thin body. She raised her haggard face to stare at him. Then she pretended to stayposure as much as she could, "Golden, it''s toote. You can''t take him away! He is afraid of darkness!" When hearing that, Golden sneered. Though his clear-cut face was deadly attractive under the dim light, he still looked horribly threatening, "You sneaked through the discharge procedure and went back to the old vi instead of home. Tell me, did you want to run away with Andrew?" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "I¡­" Margery had no idea what to respond. She slightly moved her lips but failed to utter. She was wondering if she should confess that she happened to eavesdrop on the conversation between him and Vivian. Under the cold gaze of Golden, Margery had no idea what to say. She licked her own lips subconsciously. When seeing her sweet tongue moving around her pale lips, Golden was suddenly rendered a bit intoxicated. He suddenly squinted at her and fixed his eyes on her fair neck. Then he shifted his gaze down her delicate corbone and went straight into the fair skin of her chest covered beneath her night dress. Though he hated her so much, he still couldn''t help having a hard-on because of her. Golden still remained silent though she had been waiting for a while. She raised her head with confusion. However, when noticing that he fixed his eyes on her neckline, she suddenly realized that she meant nothing to him but a tool for him to vent out his desire. She let out a bitter smile and said while biting her lips, still pretending to be calm, "Since both you and Vivian love each other so deeply. I believe that you will soon have your own baby with her. So there''s no need for you to keep Andrew. So¡­let''s divorce! I want nothing but Andrew! Don''t worry! I can live on my own after divorce. I can bring him up on my own. I won''t marry any other guy. I won''t engage in a rtionship with another man! If you don''t believe me, we can sign a contract!" When seeing her trying so hard to run away from him, Golden was rendered a bit sullen. He frowned and didn''t respond. Suddenly, he reached out his clear-cut fingers to pinch her jaw. He pinched so hard that her face was even about to be twisted. She even failed to utter out of pain and her face turned pale. However, Golden still stared at her with his threatening eyes, "Your run-away trick won''t work! My family will have a reunion banquet tomorrow evening. After attending the banquet, you have to take Andrew with you and go back to the East Vi! If I didn''t see both of you then, you would never have the chance to see Andrew again!" When hearing his cold threat, Margery had no choice but to nod while her lips were still trembling out of fear. Golden then let out a sneer and let go of her. Then he stepped out of the bedroom. At 8:00 AM the next morning, Margery was about to go out with Andrew, who was wearing a children''s ck suit. Suddenly, engine sounded outside the vi. Then, a chauffeur got off the limousine and ran in front of her. Then he said with great respect, "Ms. Bryne, Mr. Barrett makes me here to drive you to the Mansion." When hearing him addressing her as Ms. Bryne, Margery couldn''t help frowning. She looked at the chauffeur, who was strong and young. Then she said, "Please hold on. I need to make a call to check." Then she made a call to Golden. The line wasn''t connected until quite a whileter. "What''s the matter?" his cold voice sounded. "Did you make your chauffeur here to drive me and Andrew to the Mansion?" "Yes." "Okay, I got¡­" Before she could finish, the phone was hung up. Obviously, Margery had been used to his indifference. She put her phone into her handbag and bent over to hold Andrew up. Then they got into the car. The chauffeur started the engine again. When the car passed by a deserted crossroad, Margery noticed the weird smile on Chauffeur''s face. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling, "What are you doing?" "Ms. Bryne, you should know that how much Mr. Barrett love Miss Martin. In order to marry her aboveboard and get her off all kinds of gossips, Mr. Barrett told me that both you and your son have to die!" While smiling evilly, the chauffeur got off the car and locked the doors. Then he poured gas onto the car. He took out a lighter and lit it up. Then it was thrown onto the top of car. The fire gulped the car instantly. As the doors were all locked and there was no one around, there was no way for her to escape. ''Golden, you bastard! You pretended to show me mercyst night and forced me and Andrew to attend your family banquet! But actually, burning us to hell is your only purpose!'' ''Why? Why don''t you just kill us and let go of Andrew?!'' Margery''s face turned deadly pale. She hugged Andrew tightly into her arms, who still knew nothing about it. She gritted her teeth and stressed every single word with her bloody eyes wide opened as if they were about to bleed, "Golden Barrett! I hate you! I will never fall in love with you even if I had a second chance!" The fire kept burning her hairs, her face, her arms and her chest. The sharp agony totally gobbled her up. At the same time, Golden was walking around the showcases in the most high-end luxury store in H City, while Vivian was holding his arm intimately. The manager of the store bent over to say fawningly, "Mr. Barrett, what do you think about this diamond ring? It''s a unique limited edition, which symbolizes the evesting love of couple." Golden still remained silent. He tilted his head to look at Vivian. "Golden, I really love it at first sight." Vivian stared at this charming man whose body was slender and well-shaped. She bit her lips and said gently, looking a bit awkward, "I am really happy if you buy me this. But¡­Margery is still your wife¡­ Golden, just don''t buy the ring. I don''t want to make you embarrassed. Nor do I want to hurt Margery." "Just leave that vicious woman alone!" Golden squinted, "It was she that got you lying in hospital for three years! If it weren''t because of the fact that you were fortunate enough to wake up froma, I would definitely torture her to death!" His eyes were freezing cold. Vivian let out a tender smile. She nodded slightly withcence hidden in her beautiful eyes. Suddenly, his phone rang. Vivian immediately got her own hands off his arm and stepped aside. Golden walked away to answer the phone. However, the agitated voice of his chauffeur sounded, "Mr. Barrett, the car you sent to pick up Mrs. Barrett and Andrew suddenly exploded. They were killed in the ident!" "What?" his face suddenly turned deadly pale. Chapter 16 Mr. Barrett, I Can Do Nothing for You Chapter 16 Mr. Barrett, I Can Do Nothing for You Five yearster, in a hospital located at another costal city, Margery, who was just lying on the operating table, slowly sat up straight. Then the doctor who just performed a general check-up for her said to her kindly, "Ms. Bryne, congrattion! Your facial skin and your organs have well recovered. This is thest general check-up. You don''t need to be bothered by it from now on." "Okay, thank you, Dr. Jones." Margery smiled and slowly raised her head to touch her own face. When she felt her own fair and smooth skin on the face with her slightly cold fingertips, she couldn''t help feeling thrilled. It had been five years since she managed to get out of that car and survive from that fiercely burning fire! She had been shifting between the burns department and the cosmetic surgery department. She had taken so much pills and surgeries and had been through so much pain and agony. Finally, she no longer looked ugly and disabled. Now, she could live amon life just like any other women in the world. Margery put the sunsses into her bag and walked out of the operating room. Then she saw the smiling face of Melvin, "Margery, how are you feeling now? Did the doctor give you some extra advice?" Margery couldn''t help smiling, feeling high-spirited, "She said that I had well recovered. And this is my last check-up." "Really? That''s great! Finally, herees the day!" While yelling happily, Melvin spread his arms and was about to hug her, "What a special day! Come on, Margery, give me a hug! Then let me take you and kids to have some nice seafood for congrattion!" "I just recovered. So I don''t think I can have any seafood." "Well, what about some Cantonese food. I know there is a nice Cantonese restaurant nearby. They cook tasty dishes and you will definitely love it!" "Okay." Margery dodged his hug with a smile and bent over to hold up a handsome little boy who was standing quietly on the corridor. Then she kissed on his cheek, "Ethan, where is your sister?" "Bonnie went to the washroom because she just took too much juice." Ethan frowned and slowly wiped away the print of her kiss. His move and seemingly repellent expression looked so alike that guy Margery hated so much! Though it had been five years, the hatred against Golden had never ked a bit. Instead, the fire of hatred was burning more and more fiercely in her heart. Every time Margery had to go through the pain of surgery, she would recall that her loving and sensible son, Andrew, was actually killed by that burning fire. However, Golden, as the true culprit, still lived a prestigious life. How could she just simply let it go! Margery blinked her eyes to hold back her burning hatred. She waited for a while but Bonnie still hadn''t come back. Of course, she knew her own daughter well. Perhaps she just bumped into a charming doctor and got herself trapped in infatuation. Ah the thought of that, Margery sighed and shook her head, "Ethan, just stay here with Uncle Melvin. I will go to look for your sister." Ethan didn''t reply. He nodded with his lips pressed. When Margery left, he raised his head to stare at Melvin with his big and sharp eyes, "Uncle Melvin, you should know that as a man, you have to stay aloof and arrogant! That''s the way to attractdies. No wonder you are still single at this age!" Melvin was rendered speechless. ''You little jerk. No wonder you are the son of Golden. You look as mean as him!'' He murmured to himself. Margery went to the washroom. As expected, she didn''t saw Bonnie there. She frowned and smiled. Then she turned around to walk out. She continued to walk along the corridor. Of course, she wasn''t worried about Bonnie as she had always been to the hospital with her. Then, Margery noticed that there were a few offices decorated with different style, while the wall and ceiling of which were painted light blue instead of in white. And the doors were left half-open. Those offices looked peaceful and special. It made her feel quitefortable at first sight. She took a glimpse at the direction board above her head¡ªPsychology Department, while at the corner of which written ''No admittance except for permission''. When noticing that Bonnie might probably break in, Margery looked sullen and hurried forward. When she was about to reach the end of the corridor, she saw a little girl dressing in white gauzy dress peeping through the gap between the door and its frame. Margery was rendered a bit mad but also amused. She sounded a cough deliberately and walked over to hold the fair arm of Bonnie. Then she hushed and said in a low voice, "Bonnie, time to go home." However, Bonnie pouted and shook her head. She pointed at a man inside with her little cute finger, whose figure was only vaguely seen. She blinked her big shining eyes and covered her mouth to reply softly just like Margery, "No, just wait for a while! Mommy, the gentleman in front of the doctor looks really handsome! He is even better-looking than Ethan! I want him to be my boyfriend!" R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only "Oh, you change your mind so soon? But you just said that you wanted your teacher in the kindergarten to be your boyfriend. His name is Mr. Davies, right?" Margery couldn''t help feeling amused. She ruffled her soft hairs and bent over to slightly push the door a bit. Then she could see through a bigger gap. Then she saw a man sitting on a sofa, which was about a few meters away from her. She could clearly see his short and straight ck hairs and his clear-cut profile. He looked cold and repellent. She was so familiar with his face! Suddenly, she felt like being shock by a bolt from the blue! Her eyes, her fingers and then her whole body seemed to be frozen instantly! She couldn''t even catch her own breath. It had been five years and there was a long distance between H City and this one, but she had never expected that she would actually happen to see Golden in this hospital! When seeing her blood feud, she couldn''t help clenching her fists. She had an urge to rush in and stab into her heart and gouge his heart out! She was willing to sacrifice herself but never Andrew for his hatred! While distracted, she heard of their conversation inside the room. The question of the psychological doctor clearly sounded near her ears, "Mr. Barrett, did your sexual drive function before?" "Yes." "Who could make your sexual drive function?" "My ex-wife." "So you mean that your sexual drive still functioned before. However, during the past five years, you lost your sexual drive. Is it because there was something happening on your ex-wife five years ago? And it greatly impacted on you?" "I came all the way through from H City only to find out if you can cure my disease! Stop asking such a crap! Just answer me if you can do as I required!" His freezing cold voice sounded around the quiet room. The doctor was totally rendered speechless. It was his first time to encounter such a repellent man. No matter how capable he was, he had no idea what to do. The doctor wiped away the sweat shedding on his forehead out of nervousness. Then he smiled with respect apologetically, "Well, Mr. Barrett, sorry, I am really sorry. I can do nothing about it." It seemed that Golden had expected such a consequence. He stood up and just took a casual glimpse. Then he shifted his eyes off the doctor and strode out of the room. When seeing that Golden was about to walk out, Margery immediately covered Bonnie''s mouth and held her up to rush out of this area. Of course, she was burning with hatred that she really wanted to tear him apart alive! However, she didn''t want her own daughter to see her outrageous look. When she just rushed to a corner, a gust of cold wind suddenly came from behind. Chapter 17 Ethan Is Gone Chapter 17 Ethan Is Gone In the next second, Margery heard Melvin''s insult, which was enough to make her mad. "What are you startled for? What have you been doing? Tell the truth, and you''ll receive a lighter sentence. Did you secretly meet with a male doctor behind my back? You almost got caught; is that why you were so frightened?" "Melvin, can you be a bit more serious?" Margery red at him angrily then bent down so Bonnie could stand on her own. Margery shook her sore arms and took her purse back from Melvin. She held Bonnie''s hand on one side and Ethan''s hand on the other as she walked toward the elevator entrance without looking back. Golden was about to catch up from behind. She happened to have a small fruit knife in her purse and was afraid that she would not be able to control her impulses that she would stab him. She would be going easy on him if she stabbed him and killed him! R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only He killed her baby, Andrew. She swore that she would make him experience double the suffering and pain that she had gone through so that he would rather be dead than alive. What nonsense to tell the psychiatrist that he only had feelings for his ex-wife! What a lie! If he only had feelings for her, then why would he be obsessed with Vivian? He even went as far as burning her and Andrew to death to marry Vivian and protect Vivian so that she would not be called "the other woman". Margery sneered slightly as the unbearable hatred she harboured flickered in her eyes. "Mommy, don''t walk so quickly. I still want to look at the handsome uncle and ask him if he wants to be my boyfriend." Bonnie was thinking about the cool and handsome uncle that she turned her head back to look with every few steps she took. She dragged out thest words of her sentence, sounding whiny and endearing. She appeared aggrieved and pitiful as she looked at Margery with tears in her eyes. "No way." Looking at her daughter''s pitiful appearance as if she was about to shed tears, Margery hardened her heart to refuse. "Mommy, if you don''t agree, I won''t leave," Bonnie whined. "How dirty!" Ethan snorted and frowned. He took out a clean handkerchief from his pants pocket and wiped off the saliva from the corner of Bonnie''s mouth in disgust. "What handsome uncle?" Melvin moved close to Margery, clutching his heart and shouting in pain, "Margery, did you really see another man behind my back? Who was it? Which department is the male doctor from? How dare he steal a woman from me! I''m going to get revenge on him." The man in front of her who would asionally be a drama king gave Margery a headache. "Brother Melvin. My big brother. My dear brother. Can you stop making trouble? I''m not in the mood to see men." "Then tell me, who is the handsome uncle Bonnie was talking about?" Melvin refused to give up. "The handsome uncle is just an uncle who is a doctor. He is the most handsome man I''ve ever seen, but only slightly more handsome than Ethan." Bonnie kindly smiled at Ethan, who wiped her saliva. She suddenly turned her head and saw the handsome man walk toward her with a sullen expression on his face. Her big eyes twinkled immediately. "Mommy, he''s here. Right behind us." Having heard Bonnie, Margery lowered her head reflexively, not wanting the man who should go to hell to see her face. But soon she came back to her senses. She really did not need to hide. Because her face was no longer gentle and elegant. In the past five years, he had not changed at all while she had be unrecognizable. Her stic surgery was a sess, and she looked so charming that men could never forget her. But for Golden, she was a stranger he had never seen before. It was very likely that he would not know that she was her even if she stood in front of him. Margery suddenly felt a sense of pleasure from taking revenge. She quickly pushed Ethan and Bonnie into the empty ward behind her then slowly and gently told the two to keep quiet. As soon as she finished, she heard Melvin yelling angrily, "Who are you? How dare you steal my woman and my daughter? Do you have a death wish?" The sudden shouting stopped Golden in his tracks. A pair of eyes fell on Melvin, who was furious. Golden narrowed his eyes and ridiculed, "Looks like Mr. Collins is in a good mood." "Fuck, you look like a person from a distance and a beast from up close. So it was you, a beast in human clothing, who killed Margery and Andrew! Golden, it has been five years. Your hands are stained with their blood. Do you have nightmares every night?" Hearing the words "Margery and Andrew", the man''s eyes flickered, and his expression gradually turned cold. After staring at Melvin for a while, his gaze fell coldly on Margery''s face but stayed there for less than a couple of seconds before he looked away. He pursed his lips and spoke reluctantly, "These things have nothing to do with you. For her sake, I''ll forgive you this time. But the next time this happens, don''t me me for taking it out on the Collins Group." "Golden, if you are really thinking of Margery, then you should''ve treated her better while she was alive, not being pretentious after you killed her and Andrew. You fucking disgust me!" When Melvin thought of the soaring mes that skyrocketed from the top of the car and wrapped its teeth and ws around the entire car and the people in it that day, he felt a wave of strange anger and resentment in his heart. If he had not arrived in time, Margery would now be rolling in her grave like Andrew. "Then do you want to kill me so that I can keep herpany?" The man sneered coldly with a nk expression. His narrow eyes were covered by long eyshes, which made it impossible for people to see the slightest emotion on his face. With a slim ck suit, his tall figure looked thinner but more energetic, and his cold disposition became stronger. "It''s not worth it to kill a scum like you at the cost of my life." Melvin suddenly looked at Margery, who has been silent all this time, and smiled triumphantly. "Golden, you are bringing about your own destruction. Sooner orter, you''ll suffer the consequences. Let''s wait and see." The corner of Margery''s eyes twitched. She was worried that Melvin would reveal another secret in his rant, so she hurriedly pulled him over and pretended to be angry, "Didn''t you say that you are going to invite me and the children to dinner? It''ste, let''s go." Strangely, that fire burned her body and face but did not damage her vocal cords. At this moment, she deliberately deepened her voice to avoid being discovered by Golden. But she could not change the softness and gracefulness in her nature. Especially when she spoke, she lowered her head to avoid meeting Golden''s gaze out of habit. She was just like the person in his memory. When the man realized this, he suddenly turned to stare at Margery for a moment but did not see a trace of familiarity on her face. He closed his eyes, which were in pain and gradually darkened, and turned to enter the elevator. Soon, the elevator doors closed, isting him from the outside world. After Golden left, Margery''s pounding heart rxed. She leaned weakly against the wall and exhaled slowly, "Finally, he''s gone. He almost found Ethan and Bonnie." Forget it, Bonnie barely looked like her, so nothing could be seen. But Ethan was different. He was an exact copy of Golden, just smaller. If Golden saw Ethan, her identity would be exposed immediately. Although it was only a matter of time before she was exposed, now was not the right time. Melvin looked at her haunted expression and darted a look at her. "What? Did you be soft-hearted before you even started your revenge?" Margery shook her head slowly and smiled suddenly, but the sadness on her face was enough to fill a river. "Between him and me lies Andrew''s life. I won''t be soft-hearted. Never!" After going into a trance for a while, Margery took a breath and opened the door of the ward behind her to call out the two children when she heard Bonnie''s surprised cry, "Mommy, Ethan is gone." Chapter 18 A Man Must Be Fast, Fierce, and Accurate Chapter 18 A Man Must Be Fast, Fierce, and urate Margery was at a loss. "Wasn''t Ethan with you all this time? How did he disappear suddenly?" "I don''t know. Ethan was here just now." Bonnie was also scared, and her big eyes were filled with tears. "Mommy, wah... Ethan said that the handsome uncle just now might be our daddy. Ethan saw you holding a photo and crying before. Andrew was in that photo. Ethan also saw you holding daddy''s photo and poking it with a needle¡­ Ethan is very smart. He guessed that daddy bullied mommy. He said that he''s going to help mommy and take revenge!" "How naughty!" Hearing that Ethan has gone to find Golden, Margery''s expression instantly changed. She rushed towards the elevator and almost ran into the wall several times. She ran into the elevator as fast as possible and shouted at Melvin while pressing on the close door button, "You look after Bonnie. I''ll find Ethan." After getting out of the elevator and stepping into the lobby, Margery''s fingers trembled. Ethan not only looked like Golden, but also had a keen and wise mind like him. She did not know how the little guy realized that Golden was his father or how the little guy nned to avenge her. She only knew that she had to find him before Ethan met Golden. She could not let Golden see Ethan''s face right now¡ª "Baby,e back..." Margery trembled and ran out of the hall to see Golden alone on the wide road ahead steadily walking forward, followed by Ethan and a few three to four-year-old girls. She had no idea where Ethan found these children in such a short time and why he yed retarded games that he never yed before like cops and robbers. The little guy''s face was covered with a ck cloth, which only showed his big bright eyes. He held a toy gun that shot muddy water, aimed it at Golden''s back, and shot twice¡ª Cold air with the stench of muddy water instantly prated Golden''s nose. The man turned around abruptly and saw a little boy who only reached his knees. With a ck cloth on his face, the little boy stared straight at him with a serious and conflicted expression, the same as the one at home. As a result, the darkness under his eyes dissipated bit by bit and was reced by a helpless look. "I am not the robber you want to catch. As a man, you must be fast, fierce, and urate when you shoot." When he finished speaking, the little boy shot again¡ª Fast, fierce, and urate! Golden was caught off guard and was shot in the face by muddy water on the spot! Soon, the air was filled with indescribable odours. As a man with mysophobia, it was unbearable. Golden frowned as he quickly took off his suit and threw it into a nearby garbage can. He then took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pants pocket, wiped away the stains on his face carefully bit by bit, and threw the handkerchief into the garbage can. He stared at the little boy nearby who obviously caused trouble on purpose. Golden looked glum and cold with tension in his face. "Melvin asked you to do it?" "Yes, because you are a bad guy." Ethan threw away the water gun in his hand, took off the ck cloth with two small fingers slowly, and turned his face to the other side. He looked at Melvin, who stood beside Margery outside the lobby, and suddenly shouted with a cold expression on his face, "Daddy, I beat the bad guy. Reward me with a drumstick at lunch." Melvin was not mentally prepared at all that he suddenly became a "daddy". He kept up his smile while looking embarrassed and waved at Ethan. "Good job, son. One drumstick is far from enough. I''m going to give you at least three more." Haha, it would be best if Golden died from anger! Life could not get any better than this! Margery, "..." She did not expect that Ethan would be smart enough to use such a simple but effective method to deal with Golden and avenge her. She was moved and proud. Her son was amazing. Margery smiled and nodded at Ethan, beckoning him to run back quickly. Her calm gaze then stopped on Golden''s face. She deepened her voice and mocked him softly, "It was just a prank, and he''s just a kid. I''m sure that someone as generous and forgiving as Mr. Barrett wouldn''t mind." "What if I do mind and I insist on it?" Golden lifted his eyeszily and stared intently at her and Melvin as they stood close together side by side. He felt upset for some reason and thought that the man standing next to her should not be a wasted rich second generation like Melvin. Also, Melvin got married and gave birth to two children. Why did Norma not tell him? Bonnie was very confused. She looked at the handsome uncle and then at Ethan, who had regained his cold face. She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Ethan, Uncle Collins isn''t our daddy. Didn''t you say that the handsome uncle is our father? ¡­Hmm!" Before she finished speaking, Ethan covered her small mouth with his hand immediately and snorted quietly, "I made a mistake. He''s not daddy. Don''t say anything, and I''ll give you all my milk candies when we are home." "Oh!" Bonnie shut her mouth hurriedly and nodded obediently. Margery did not notice what the two children did. She sneered slightly and stared at the cold-faced man. She looked at him with a mocking expression. "What do you want to do?" That enchanting and unruly appearance was not the person in his memory at all. But like a venom, she traversed his body and surged through every blood vessel, spreading to the deepest part of him. For no reason, he said indifferently, "I need a caretaker at home." The one at home was weak but stubborn and did not want anyone except him. But he was too busy to take care of him. Vivian could not do it, and he did not want them to meet. The woman in front of him was simr to Margery, so he thought of giving her a try. Margery''s eyes moved slightly. As soon as she was about to refute, she heard Melvin yelling angrily, "You don''t fucking need anyone else! Golden, you aren''t satisfied with having Vivian, who is a goody two-shoes, and you want my woman. Aren''t you disgusting? Don''t you think you''re disgusting? You killed Margery and Andrew. Do you want to kill another innocent woman? In the thirty years of my life, I''ve seen people who are worse than animals, but I''ve never seen someone as inhuman as you." Golden frowned, and his ck eyes gave off bitter chills. "Mr. Collins, you abused and abandoned Margery and then you abused and abandoned Norma. It''s not your ce to judge me!" Melvin''s angry handsome face was suddenly filled with tension. "Nonsense! I didn''t abuse and abandon Margery. When Norma turned against me, she told me everything. It was all part of your plot when I was caught red-handed in bed. You deliberately instigated her to do it, but in fact, I was drunk and didn''t do anything! As for Norma, she never got what she wanted from me, so she saw other men and indulged in happiness. It had nothing to do with me!" "Really?" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Goldenughed mockingly. When he was about to speak, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took out the phone and answered the call. After listening to the extremely anxious voice from the other end, the atmosphere around him quickly turned cold and oppressive. He was confident and frightening. But his tensed-up face rxed a bit, and his voice was very soft, "Okay, I''ll be back soon." As she watched the man''s straight body quickly turn around and walk away, Margery''s face was calm and expressionless. Margery guessed that the call was from Vivian. Only her good two-faced cousin could change Golden''s ice-cold face to the warm spring sun. Vivian... Margery chewed over this word for a couple of minutes then suddenly sneered. Chapter 19 He Has Physiological Problems Chapter 19 He Has Physiological Problems In a Cantonese restaurant, Margery held Bonnie, who was drowsy, in her arms. Ethan frowned and followed them, and the three of them walked outside together. Looking down and seeing her son''s helpless eyes, she could not help but smile. "Bonnie is sleepy. Are you upset that there''s no one to y with you?" "No." Ethan pursed his lips and shook his head. He looked up and stared at Margery. His small face was calm beyond his years. "Mommy, he did something bad. He abandoned mommy and made mommy cry. Bonnie and I don''t want him either. Unless he apologizes to mommy and keeps apologizing until mommy forgives him." Margery was stunned when she heard him and instantly felt weak and powerless. Not only did her son look like Golden, but he also inherited Golden''s extraordinary intelligence and keen perception, which he showed since a young age. No matter how much she hated Golden, it could not change the fact that he was Ethan and Bonnie''s biological father. Bonnie was greedy and loved to make trouble. She asionally cried while begging for her father and asking why other children had a father while she and Ethan did not. But Ethan never asked about his father before, let alone cause mischief like other little boys. He only quietly apanied his crying sister. When she was tired from crying, he would hand over a few candies to coax her and make her smile. Her son, who had been quiet since he was a child, made her think he did not need his father and made her ignore his desire for him. But what he said just now made her understand that no matter how well she took care of the children, she could not rece Golden. Margery stared at her son, who pretended to be quiet but had a slightly expectant look on his face, and her heart ached a little. She said in a hoarse voice, "What if mommy can never forgive him?" "Then don''t forgive him! Bonnie and I will always be with Mommy." "Okay." Margery''s eyshes trembled slightly. When she looked at her precocious and thoughtful son, she felt as if she was looking at Andrew, who was thoughtful and well-behaved, from five years ago. Her eyes burned and misted over. Melvin paid the bill and quickly followed them. He walked beside Margery to her left and saw her watery eyes from the corner of his eye. After a couple of seconds, he knew she must have thought of her baby, Andrew, again. He sighed heavily and quickly changed the topic to attract her attention with something else. "Margery, don''t you find it strange? The Barrett Group doesn''t have any business in this city. Why did Golden suddenly appear in the hospital where you were getting treatment?" "He came to see a doctor. He couldn''t solve his physiological problems!" Margery uttered. She took a breath, put Bonnie in the car, and secured her in the car seat. She looked back to watch Ethan as he calmly and skillfully climbed into the car and nodded topliment him. She then got in the car as well and sat in the front passenger seat. She leaned against the window and could not hide the cynical smile on her face. "When Vivian was in a vegetative state, he was fine. But now that Vivian apanies him with her soft and warm body day and night, he has trouble getting excited and having an erection. Isn''t it funny?" "What, really?! He has a humiliating disorder. No wonder he came to such a remote city because there aren''t many people who know him here¡­ Hahaha! Does he really have erectile dysfunction? He deserves it! Really fucking deserves it!" Melvin burst intoughter that his stomach hurt withughter and almost died of joy. Yes, he deserved it! Margery chuckled slightly, but her eyes were extremely cold. * Back at the residence, Margery packed up her clothes and the necessary IDs ording to their original n and took Ethan and Bonnie with her to follow Melvin and fly back to H City. Four hourster, she got off the ne and looked at the airport that was not different from five years ago. Her charming eyes instantly misted over but soon became calm again. After leaving the airport, Melvin drove Margery and the two children to amunity with abundant flowers and trees in the downtown area. "Margery, this is the ce I rented for you. Take a look to see if you like it. If you don''t, then I''ll find a different one for you." Melvin opened the door with a key, carried two oversized and heavy suitcases, and went inside. Margery held a child in each arm, which was very strenuous. As she went in, she raised her eyes and looked around. This was a small two-bedroom ce of about sixty square metres. She liked how the interior decorations were very warm and elegant and how the ce offered peace and quiet, even though it was surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the city. "It''s great. You don''t need to look for a different ce." Margery fell in love with it at a nce. She put Ethan and Bonnie, who were still asleep, on the big bed in the bedroom to sleep side-by-side. She pulled the quilt and carefully covered them. She then leaned over to nt a kiss on each child''s rosy cheek and left the room while rubbing her sore waist. Melvin stood by the door and thoughtfully handed over a cup of tea. "Thank you." Margery slightly took the warm cup of tea that he handed over. She smiled gratefully and drank half a cup in one gulp before sitting on the sofa. She took out a pen and paper and spoke seriously about her next steps. "Brother Melvin, can you buy back the hospital you sold?" "I can buy it back, but it''s not a good deal!" Since they got down to business, Melvin stopped fooling around, and his expression became very serious. "In the past five years, that hospital has changed hands more than a dozen times, and its price has already increased more than ten times. There is no point in spending so much money to buy something not worth the cost. However, there is a two-story shopping mall nearby that went bankrupt. I can buy it at the lowest price. Have you figured out what to use it for afterward?" Margery stared at him as he spoke with confidence andposure. His speech and behaviour were very different from five years ago that she could not help but be absent-minded. Five years, more than 1800 days and nights. Not only did she be unrecognizable and full of hatred, but Melvin also became a lot steadier and was no longer the rich second generation who indulged in alcohol, games, and women¡ª Margery gathered her thoughts and chuckled, "I''ll continue with my old profession. Also, I decided to add a new department." "What department?" Melvin frowned, and his instinct told him that it was far from good. "Doesn''t Golden have problems? I''m going to tailor a department to treat that kind of problem specifically for him. When we build up a reputation, he would naturallye to us." Margery narrowed her clear eyes and analyzed carefully. "Even if he doesn''te to us, Vivian will urge him toe for treatment! Vivian loves him and has great ambitions. Her man has to be the best in everything. She can''t bear this kind of humiliation." Melvin sat on the opposite sofa and stared at herzily. When she talked about Golden and Vivian, it was as if she was talking about twoplete strangers. There was no expression on her face, and she looked extremely indifferent. He sighed quietly inside, not knowing whether to be happy or sad for her. "Then... how do you want to build up a reputation?" As soon as he finished asking, Melvin saw Margery''s eyes light up, and the feeling of impending doom became stronger. Then, he watched as she put on a charming smile and said in a soft, melodious voice, "Brother Melvin, we have you." Damn it! Melvin was shocked and almost swore. "Margery, don''t mess around! I don''t have a girlfriend because I have high standards, not because I have erectile dysfunction!" "Brother Melvin, you are the best. The hospital''s Department of Pediatric Urology needs you. It''s decided then." Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. Margery smiled brightly. Chapter 20 She Would Not Let Anyone Off Chapter 20 She Would Not Let Anyone Off Margery was very proactive and got down to work immediately. After making arrangements for Ethan and Bonnie to go to a kindergarten nearby, Margery spent nearly a month renovating the hospital. She asked Z toe back and continue to manage the finances for her. When Z saw Margery, she was shocked and incredulous. "Margery, you... What happened to you?" Margery could not help but clench her fist. She sighed lightly and said slowly, "I was in a car ident and burned my face. After stic surgery, I became this way." "That must have hurt so much!" Z felt distressed. "After going through pain, it doesn''t hurt anymore." Grief flickered in Margery''s eyes. Raising her hand to touch her face, she felt a touch smoother than before, which made her narrow her eyes. Five years had passed, and her body and face had recovered and became fairer and more delicate than before. But every time she touched her face, she could still feel the scorching feat and the sting of the raging fire burning on her skin. The despair of being unable to protect Andrew was something that she would never be able to forget in her whole life. Andrew was such a well-behaved and thoughtful baby. He was innocent yet he died in the fire and would never be able to call her mommy again. If it were not for Ethan and Bonnie in her belly, then she would have joined Andrew in death the moment she learned that Andrew had passed away. Looking back made Margery''s face tense and nk. Z was taken aback and quickly apologized, "Margery, I''m sorry for bringing up the past! But life will be better after hard times. You''ll have good luck in the future." "Probably," Margery chuckled lightly, not expressing an opinion. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only She was a person who had died once. She did not care about her luck in the future and only wanted to raise Ethan and Bonnie safely. As for those who hurt Andrew, she would not let anyone off! With Z''s help, the hospital was quickly renovated, and doctors and nurses were recruited and ready for work. Everything went smoothly for Margery until she needed to apply for a business license. At the Health Bureau, Margery was very confused when she was coldly rejected by the staff at the counter. "My documents areplete, and my IDs are all here. Why can''t you issue a license for me?" "I don''t know. It''s an instruction from the higher-ups." An instruction from the higher-ups? Margery was slightly depressed and subconsciously thought it was Golden''s fault. Then she realized that it was impossible! She just returned to H City, and within a month, she changed her face. No matter how powerful Golden was, there was no way he would know that she was her. Margery thought about it but could not think of anyone who would deliberately make things difficult for her, so she walked out of the lobby and called Melvin. On the other end of the line, Melvin immediately became furious. "What? They wouldn''t issue a business license? No, it''s impossible! I bribed each and every one of them ten days ago, and they all agreed to it at the time. Margery, wait for me. I''m going to head over right now and teach them a lesson." "Not yet. I''ll see if I can get it done." Margery frowned slightly and hung up, thinking about what went wrong. Since Melvin bribed them already, no one would refuse to issue the license and risk offending the Collins family. In other words, since they dared not issue it for her, the person in charge was not afraid of offending the Collins family at all. It was probably someone who did not get along with the Collins family. Two families had a conflict, and she was caught in the crossfire. Thinking of this, Margery stood in front of the staff''s counter again and asked politely, "If the higher-ups don''t agree, I won''t ever obtain my business license, right?" "In principle." "Then tell me who the person in charge is, and I''ll go find him." Margery''s voice was cold. She was confident and frightening. The staff was scared and reflexively pointed to the left. "The first office behind the door. Mr. Lau." "Okay." Margery took a deep breath and walked over quickly with a stack of documents in her hands. She knocked on the door politely and watched as the middle-aged man behind the desk spoke. The other party only made a few casual remarks asking her to wait without providing any further details. "Then... okay. Please process it as soon as possible, Mr. Lau. Thank you." Margery walked out of the office and had no choice but to sit on the green armchair in the lobby and wait anxiously. Feeling irritated, she habitually pulled on her hair, messing up her long ck hair. * When Golden came out of the director''s office and walked to the lobby, he saw a woman he had met once in that warm city in the south half a month ago. Just because that woman was so beautiful that she shone. Under the crystal light, her facial features were charming and beautiful, but she did not care about others'' gazes as they were breath-taken by her looks. She only focused on herself as she pulled on her long hair with irritation. She frowned, and her red lips pursed slightly. Her conflicted expression was extremely simr and made him feel as if he was looking at Margery from five years ago. Obviously that woman was no longer there, and he was indifferent to her in their marriage, but her past micro-expressions were imprinted in his memory and still fresh on his mind. He nced to the side a little, looking deeply at Mr. Lau, who had just greeted him warmly from the office, and asked casually, "What''s wrong with her application?" Everyone came here to apply for a business license. Based on her anxious appearance, she must have failed. Hearing this, Mr. Lau was stunned and immediately smiled. "Mr. Barrett, this is what''s happening. There is no problem with her application, but she was introduced by Melvin. There used to be conflicts between my old man and the Collins family, so... But don''t worry, Mr. Barrett. We''ll still process her application, but it''ll be dyed by ten days to half a month." Golden understood and asked more casually, "Do you know her name?" "I know, Margery... Margery Byrne! Yes, that''s the name, that''s right." "Her application. Do you have it here?" Golden''s expression remained unchanged, but his almond ck eyes immediately narrowed. No one knew that the word Margery was like a booming thunder that cracked his heart and caused stormy seas underneath his icy facade. "Yes! Wait a moment, Mr. Barrett. I''ll bring it to you right away." Mr. Lau ran into the office and quickly ran out again. Ignoring the cold sweat on his forehead, he handed over the information in his hand respectfully. "Mr. Barrett, all the information is here." Golden nodded lightly and gracefully took it with two long fingers. He nced down at the applicant''s name and the photo, which was a facepletely different from Margery. After a while, he said, "Process it for her if there''s no problem with it! I owe you a favour." Chapter 21 To His Surprise, There Was a Long-Lost Feeling Chapter 21 To His Surprise, There Was a Long-Lost Feeling Twenty minutester, Margery was stunned as she took the business license from Mr. Lau whose attitude changed from arrogant to humble. Happiness came so suddenly that she was a little confused. Not long ago, this little leader was so impatient that he wanted her to wait until the end of the world. It has not been long before he took the initiative to deliver what she needed. Someone must have helped her. Thinking of this, Margery narrowed her charming eyes and asked tentatively, "Did Melvin, Mr. Collins call you?" Ahem, what Melvin! Mr. Lau almost shouted but remembered Golden''s instructions before he left and could only swallow his pride and keep quiet. Seeing the other party''s constipated look, Margery immediately concluded that the person who helped her was no one but Melvin. It could only be that guy who fooled around all the time and made others mad as soon as he spoke. Margery gave a sympathetic look to Mr. Lau and slightly squeezed the business license in her hand, taking a load off her mind. She turned and walked away briskly. In order to thank Melvin for helping her selflessly for so many years, she decided to treat him to dinner tonight. * At night, Margery and Melvin sat in an elegant and quiet restaurant. Margery drank in a good mood at first and joked with Melvin. But after drinking her fifth ss, she had a low mood and sighed while supporting her chin. There was vague uncertainty in her eyes. "Brother Melvin, after the hospital builds reputation, will Goldene to my small hospital for treatment?" Melvin snatched the half-empty bottle of alcohol from her hand and poured it for himself. He held his head up and drank more than half of it. Seeing how drunk and ufortable she was based on her frown, he shook his head in disappointment. "He''ll definitelye! Don''t worry! Leave it to me! If he doesn''te, I''ll hold him at gunpoint and force him toe. Weren''t you confident during the day? Howe you are discouraged after a few drinks at night?" "I''m not discouraged!" Margery smiled bitterly. She held her head up and forced back the mist over her eyes. "I just thought of Andrew and remembered that he killed my little boy with his own hands. I can''t control my hatred. I''m worried that I won''t be able to control myself that I would stab him and kill him when I give him treatment." Melvin stopped in his tracks, as he was about to pick up vegetables, and felt pain and chills somewhere below his abdomen. He smacked his lips and said, "Don''t! Control your hand! You would be going easy on him if you killed him with a single cut. You need to at least tear him to pieces!" "Forget it, let''s not talk about it." Margery frowned and took a sip of dark beer. Her red lips moved slightly, "Um... I''m going to the washroom." She stood up and wandered along the wide corridor to the washroom on the second floor. When she arrived, she found that there was a long line because today was a weekend, so there were a lot of couples eating out for their dates. It looked like there were at least thirty people in line. Afraid that she could not hold it, Margery took a deep breath and staggered to the third floor. Different from the hustle and bustle on the first and second floors, this floor was terribly quiet. It was composed of private rooms, which were probably prepared for powerful officials. Such luxurious private rooms must be equipped with ensuite washrooms. Margery drank too much alcohol and felt dizzy and ufortable. Her abdomen hurt, and she could not hold it anymore. She found the nearest private room and nced inside. When she saw no one in the room, she snuck in and flowed the signs to the washroom door while feeling weakness in her legs. Just as she opened the door, she was stunned. There was someone inside; it was a tall man. His back faced her, and he was focusing on running water from the tap. He wore the standard white dress shirt and dress pants, befitting his social ss. His legs were long¡ª very long. There was the kind of man who exuded elegance and grace even when he peed. Gradually, Margery became cross-eyed from alcohol and felt that the man''s back and posture were very much like Golden. ''Golden, Golden, you hurt me and killed Andrew. Won''t you have a guilty conscience?'' Feeling foggy in her head, she did not think so much. She swayed on her feet and pounced on him impulsively, intending to get revenge. "Son of a bitch, why are you so cruel to me? Go to hell!" She could not control her strength the moment she pounced that she slipped and fell weakly to the tile floor¡ª When she fell, she unexpectedly scratched the man''s t and lean abdomen with her right hand, leaving behind five small nail marks. The man''s handsome body was suddenly stiff, as if he did not expect to be cursed and scratched by a drunk woman. He turned his head slightly. When he saw that she was the woman he came across at noon who was so beautiful that she shone, he immediately looked upset. "Fuck off." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. The air pressure was suddenly low and frightening. Margery was dizzy and did not hear that he told her to go away. She was also slow and did not feel the cold air pressure. She sneered and swayed as she got up from the ground and pounced on him again. "Wait! Just you wait! I''m going to kill you!" The drunk woman would not stop fooling around and pestering him! Golden pulled up his pants with one hand and walked out quickly. At this moment, he felt that there was something wrong with his eyes that he thought she looked like Margery. Except for her name, she was not the least like her. He walked in a hurry. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe and fell towards him. A soft woman with a faint elegant fragrance fell into his arms, awaking the desires that have been dormant for five years inside of him. He instantly felt his blood pumping like rolling waves. When her small hand touched him, to his surprise, there was a long-lost feeling¡ª The excitement of a fiery liqueur instantly projecting through his body only ever happened because of Margery. Golden immediately held her soft waist and pinched her chin, forcing her to look directly at his cold eyes. He asked coldly, "Who are you?" Margery waspletely drunk and rxed: her voice was hoarse, and she was unfriendly. "I... Margery! Humph! You are not only cruel and blind, but also stupid. You don''t even recognize me!" "..." Golden''s face turned grim immediately. He wanted to throw her to the ground, but he thought about the wonderful feeling just now when her small hand touched him. He licked his lips, and a sneer formed in the deepest part of his dark eyes. "Want to y with fire?" Thest word "fire" made Margery suddenly sober. "Don''t talk to me about fire! The thing I hate the most in my life is fire! The fire was so big, and it burned everything. I cried and I begged, but I couldn''t protect my favourite baby no matter what." She pushed him away suddenly, as tears fell from the corner of her eyes, and shouted hysterically, "I hate you, I hate you to death! Fuck off! You fuck off!" Golden stood there, lit a cigarette, and smoked. His face was nk for a long time, and finally, he was toozy to bother with a drunk woman, so he mmed the door and left. "Humph, I''ll kill you if you don''t fuck off!" Margery drank too much alcohol and became tipsy. Her head felt foggy and numb. She stayed still in a daze and suddenly realized what she was there for, so she returned to the washroom and remembered to close the door. Ten minutester, Margery swayed in the corridor. Before she walked far, a ck shadow suddenly came straight towards her. Chapter 22 Have You Figured Out How to Deal with Them Chapter 22 Have You Figured Out How to Deal with Them "Fuck, Margery. You were only going to go to the washroom. How did you go missing? You almost scared me to death! I had to go up and down the stairs before I finally found you." When he saw her drunk and rolling on the floor, Melvin understood everything. He rushed up to hold her and walked downstairs. He muttered, "It was just the two of us drinking together, yet you became this drunk. I don''t know what to say to you! I know that you are in a bad mood and you want to use alcohol to drown your sorrows, but if you have low tolerance, then you shouldn''t drink at all. Do you understand? You are lucky that I''m a good person and I don''t have any dirty thoughts about you. If I were a different guy, you wouldn''t even know how you died." "Oh." Margery nodded obediently and covered her lips with her long fingers. She burped lightly, looked up, and smiled at him. "Brother Melvin, I, I just ran into Golden! I swore at him and scratched him... In the past, I bore with him for a long time, but in the future, I won''t bear with him anymore. I''ll swear at him and beat him up every time I see him! It feels good to not bear with him!" "Really? Golden is inhuman and evil. Would he let you swear at him and beat him up?" Melvin snorted. When he saw that she was about to lie through her teeth, he hurried coaxed her, "Okay, okay, okay. As long as you had fun." He believed that everything she said was nonsense and drunk talk that he could not trust at all. Golden would let her beat him up and swear at him? Humph, when pigs fly. Melvin helped Margery, who was drunk, and walked to the counter to pay. He took her back to Sunshine Community with noints, put her on the big bed in the bedroom, and cleaned her face. Afterward, he fell on the sofa in the living room, too tired to get up. A drunk woman was more violent than gale when she made trouble. How terrifying! * Ouch! Her head felt painful as if it was pricked by needles. Margery suddenly woke up and slowly opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Melvin''s concerned gaze. "You''re awake? Do you feel better?" "I... have a headache." Margery replied in a daze. She took half a ss of water from his hand and finished drinking. She slowly sat up in bed and rubbed her sore forehead while speaking in a hoarse voice, "Weren''t we eating in the restaurant? Howe we''re back?" She was going to go to the washroom, but then there were too many people on the second floor, so she went to the third floor and ran into a man who looked like Golden, andter... She had no memory of what happened afterward. "You werepletely drunk. I brought you back personally." Melvin pointed to the huge dark circles on his face. With a glum face, he groaned, "You were drunk. You cried,ughed, and made trouble. You even beat me up that I couldn''t sleep at allst night. If I knew that you had low tolerance, I wouldn''t have let you drink a drop no matter what." Margery rubbed her be sightly. When she saw bruises that looked like a p mark on Melvin''s face, her face went nk, and she felt a bit guilty. "I''m sorry, Brother Melvin." "No worries. It doesn''t hurt at all. You barely have any strength, so it only felt like a mosquito bite." Melvin smiled and waved his hand. He rubbed his face and said solemnly, "Z called and said that the hospital is officially opened today. Golden and Vivian, that asshole and bitch couple, have you figured out how to deal with them?" "How to deal with them¡­ I figured it out a long time ago." Margery curled her lips and smiled lightly before her face gradually became cold and sent chills so powerful that Melvin could not help but shiver. * After having Melvin stay for breakfast, Margery kicked him out and drove Ethan and Bonnie to kindergarten. She was too busy with hospital affairs that she had no choice but to send the two children into kindergarten boarding school. She would drop them off on Monday morning and pick them up on Friday afternoon. The kindergarten was very lively on Monday. Margery got out of the car and walked in while holding hands with the two children. After taking a couple of steps, she saw a ck Bentley drive past behind her. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. The car was low-key and luxurious, which looked familiar to her for some reason. She turned her head slightly and looked to see a cute little ck head in her sight, which shed by with the Bentley. Her heart jumped suddenly. "Mommy, that''s Layne''s car. Isn''t it pretty? He is a new friend of mine." Bonnie pulled Margery''s hand. She jumped up and down and said, "Other than Ethan, he is my best friend because he is the most handsome." Margery regained her senses and squeezed her daughter''s pink and tender cheeks. She said, a little helplessly, "Mommy sent you to kindergarten to learn to read and write, not to see who is the most handsome." Ethan stared at Bonnie; his face was cold and silent. Bonnie pouted and pointed with her small finger, "Look, Mommy, he got out of the car." Margery''s sparkly eyes turned and subconsciously looked in the direction of her daughter''s small finger ¡ª At that moment, her eyes were fixed on that family. From a distance, a tall and nobleman dressed in a ck custom luxury suit led a handsome little boy out of the car. To her surprise... he was Golden! The man was apanied by an elegant woman wearing a champagne dress. Under the golden sun at dawn, Margery could not help but stare at that woman''s face. It was a face that made waves of resentment surge up inside Margery. Rosy face, soft cheeks, exquisite makeup, and sweet smile when she looked down. Vivian! Golden, Vivian, and their son... Layne, who Bonnie mentioned? Margery glowered and watched in silence as Golden held Layne''s hand on the left and linked arms with Vivian on the right as they slowly walked toward the kindergarten gate. For five years, she struggled countless times and was on the verge of death. For countless days and nights, she endured the pain of losing Andrew. But this man could not wait to marry Vivian and have a child together. He had a family, a wife, and a son. The family of three looked happy and sweet. She had been mentally prepared for them to be together a long time ago, but seeing this scene with her own eyes, she still felt hurt. Ironically, that child, who looked four or five years old, was not much younger than Ethan and Bonnie. In other words, right after she and Andrew were hurt, Golden immediately could not wait to marry Vivian and give birth to a child¡ª Margery bit her lips and felt a sudden pain in her heart. Feeling her cold and stubborn gaze, Golden turned his head and nced over, staring at Margery''s face with cold eyes. When he rememberedst night''s unpleasant incident, he immediately looked away while maintaining the same look on his handsome face. Vivian noticed his abnormality and asked softly, "Golden, what''s the matter with you?" "It''s nothing." Golden curled his lips and led Layne forward, passing in front of Margery and paying no heed to her. After they walked away, Margery calmed down and silently held Ethan and Bonnie''s hands to send them to the teacher. She bent down, kissed their little cheeks, and was reluctant to part with them. She said, "Be good at school and listen to the teacher. Mommy will pick you up on Friday afternoon to go home." "Mommy,e pick up Ethan and me earlier." Bonnie smiled and nodded. She then turned to look at Ethan, wrinkled her small nose, and grunted, "Ethan, I just saw clearly. Handsome uncle is Layne''s daddy, not our daddy. You''ve really mistaken." "Yes, I made a mistake." Ethan squeezed his small fist and nodded expressionlessly. After Margery kissed him, he looked up and said coldly, "Mommy, I''ll help you with whatever you want to do." "Don''t worry about it. Take good care of Bonnie." Margery stood up and touched her son''s head with a smile but did not take his words to heart. Before sending Ethan and Bonnie to kindergarten, she already told Melvin to initiate their n today. For the rest, she just needed to wait¡ªand wait patiently. She had been waiting for five years, so she was not in a hurry! Chapter 23 Golden, Lets Try Again Chapter 23 Golden, Let''s Try Again A monthter, Margery was having dinner with Ethan and Bonnie in the dining room when she saw Melvin walking over with a smile after knocking on the door. She led him to the living room and asked him to sit on the sofa, smiling and asking, "How did it go?" "Don''t worry. Everything goes right." Melvin raised his hand to make an "OK" gesture, smiling more brightly, "I found Norma, the loud- mouthed woman. She will definitely add highly colored details to a story that I was once impotent and sessfully treated in your hospital and say it to Vivian. Then, you can treat Golden as you please, whether it''s acupuncture or bloodletting!" Yeah. If Margery didn''t teach Golden a good lesson, how could she face herself and her dear Andrew? Margery smiled, quietly stared at the cup in her hand, and raised her eyebrows at ease, "Well, I will not be soft-hearted." Meanwhile, in a luxurious white vi. Vivian sat on the sofa. After listening to Norma''s exaggerated words, she smiled softly and elegantly, "Is it true what you said? That hospital has just opened. Is it really that amazing?" "Of course it''s true! We are so close. I don''t need to lie to you." Norma, a fun-loving and open-minded woman who changed her boyfriends quickly, rolled her eyes and grinned, "You also know Melvin, right? He used to be Margery''s boyfriend. He had his fling and was a bit handsome. But do you know why he never had sex with Margery? Because he was impotent!" "And then, Margery was suddenly crazy and made you a vegetable for three years. Golden was so angry that he asked me to seduce Melvin and deliberately let Margery see it to break them up! I was willing to do it. After all, Melvin was my style. I agreed to do this for Golden. However... Let''s not talk about it. Anyway, Melvin was impotent! The night beforest, he flirted with me and was normal again. We almost had a good night." Norma raised her eyebrows and tossed her long hair charmingly. Looking at Vivian''s hesitant expression, she said bluntly, "Although you do not tell me, I can feel very keenly something is wrong between you and Golden these years. Anyway, if he is sick, he should treat it and take medicine, right? Listen to me, although that hospital is a little small, it is the best if it can really cure impotence! Well, it is time that Goldenes back. I''ve been scared of him since I was a kid. So, I''m leaving first." Norma finished her coffee, picked up her bag, and left quickly. Vivian sat on the sofa without moving. Seeing Norma leave, she blinked and nced at the phone on the table. It was nearly 10:30 p.m. Her soft smile gradually turned cold and sharp. Norma was right. Golden''s "illness" should be properly treated now. Soon, she heard the steady and familiar footsteps from outside. Vivian quickly stood up from the sofa and walked over gracefully, smiling softly at the man who had just entered, "Golden, you''re back. Are you tired? I''ve made you a soup and the bath water is ready. Do you want to drink the soup or take a bath first?" "No need for the soup. I didn''t drink at the party today. I''ll take a bath first." Golden lightly raised his thin lips and nced at her. Seeing that she was a bit disappointed and looked pitiful, he softened, "The soup you personally made cannot be wasted. After the bath, I will drink it." "Okay." Vivian loosened her fingers, leaned over, and inadvertently took his arm. She smiled and looked up, "Golden, I will go to the bedroom to get your pajamas. Let''s go upstairs together." "Alright." Golden nodded lightly, changed into the ck slippers, removed the cigarette butt from his mouth and threw it into the trash can. Seeing that Vivian did not let go, he did not say anything, frowned, and went upstairs with her." R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Noticing his cooperation, Vivian was happy. She took his big palm and entwined her fingers with his. Finally, she threw herself into his arms. Smelling the clear scent that belonged to him, Vivian blushed and said in a soft tone, "Golden, I bought a new style of lover fragrance shower gel. Why don''t we take the bath together?" Golden did not say a word, narrowed his eyes, and stared at her face. His gaze was deep and dark, and the same as before. But Vivian felt a slightly chill for no reason. She became rmed. But the surging desire made her ignore it and look up. She slowly pressed her face against his strong and lean chest, bit her lips, and spoke softly, "Golden, let''s try ... again, okay?" Golden didn''t push Vivian away, nor did he move. He just let her stick to him, looked down to her expectant eyes, and smiled lightly. The sudden smile made Vivian feel cold and rmed. She could not help but tremble. She could hardly breathe and her face turned pale. After a while, she was pulled away from him and heard him say in a mocking manner, "It has been five years. I have tried everything. What else do you want me to try?" "Golden, don''t say that... I can''t bear to hear it! If you do not want to try, then let''s not try. I really do not mean to me you!" Vivian opened her watery eyes. Her voice was soft with a hint of aggression and tears wetted the corners of her eyes, "But, Golden, I love you. No matter what you do, I love you with no regrets! It has been five years, more than 1,800 days. You are my beloved man. While facing you, I will also have the normal desire as a woman! Tonight, I''m suddenly eager ... to enjoy a good night with the one I love most!" Listening to the sadness in her voice and looking at her face which was full of obsession for him, Golden softened, pondered for a moment, and asked softly, "Do you have any solutions?" Hearing his words, Vivian knew he agreed. Her eyes shed with satisfaction and she said softly, "A new hospital opened in H City. It is not that big. But it has a special department for couples. I heard the treatment worked well. Let''s go there sometime, okay?" ncing at her eyes full of tears, Golden didn''t have the heart to turn down her request. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Which hospital?" "Bok Hospital, on Yanchan Road." Bok Hospital? Golden paused for a moment, remembering the information he glimpsed in the hands of Mr. Lau at the Health Bureau, and subconsciously frowned. If he remembered correctly, this hospital was owned by the woman who was so beautiful and whose name was exactly the same as Margery. How could it be such a coincidence that she happened to open a department when he needed to be treated? When Golden recalled the touch of her little hand, and the tiny nail marks on his abdomen where she had scratched him had not yet faded, his Adam''s apple moved involuntarily and he slowly narrowed his ck eyes, "Let''s go this weekend." Chapter 24 Unforgettable Stimulation Chapter 24 Unforgettable Stimtion The morning of the weekend. Margery was in the office with Ethan and Bonnie working on the handbill the kindergarten assigned. Just as they were about to paint with the pens in their hands, the door was pushed open¡­. Z walked in. she looked happy and excited, "Margery, good news! A powerful man just came to our hospital! The most noble and powerful man in H City! Oh my God! He is so handsome! I''ve only seen him in the financial press before. I have never thought I can see him face to face today. I decided to buy a lottery ticket after work. He will definitely bless me to win five million! Besides, it is said that the beautiful girl with him is the firstdy in H City. She is so elegant...." Z''s eyes were shining with excitement. She couldn''t stop talking. But Margery had put down the pen in her hand and stood up, smiling coldly. She knew that with Melvin''s self-destructive publicity and agitation, and Norma''s unconscious push, Golden and Vivian would definitelye here. But she didn''t expect that they woulde so quickly. It seemed that Vivian couldn''t wait any longer. "Z, please look after Ethan and Bonnie for me. I will go to receive them!" Margery walked out of the office with a stack of medical records in her hand. She looked calm, but her heart was beating fast. Since Golden and Vivian hade here, she would fix them well. Soon, Margery walked through the quiet corridor to the end of the fourth floor, pushed open the door of the VIP reception room and walked in. She saw Vivian''s soft face first. Vivian''s gaze looked gentle butThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. there was a hidden sharpness in her eyes, "You are the doctor of this hospital?" "Yes, I''m Margery!" Noticing Vivian''s vague hostility, Margery raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, raised the medical record in her hand, and said with irony, "Ms. Martin? Since you have chosen us, please don''t doubt my professionalism! If you question my ability because of my face, it''s okay. Please get out here. Goodbye." "You...." Vivian''s face turned ashen with outrage. But when she nced at the man standing at the floor of the window slowly turn around, she quickly put on a gentle smile and said, "Golden, since Dr. Byrne is so confident, then let she cure you okay?" Feeling the eagerness and softness in Vivian''s eyes, Golden turned sideways and nodded ndly. He looked up at Margery and then smiled elegantly, "Anyone can talk big. But not everyone can do what they said. What''s your guarantee that you can do it?" Margery had already predicted that he would question her ability. After she closed the medical record and clenched her fingers, she took a deep breath and suppressed the hatred that was surging in her heart. She looked up at him calmly, lowered her voice, and asked with a faint smile, "What kind of guarantee does Mr. Barrett want?" She was smiling, but the coldness in the depths of her eyes passed by in a sh. Golden, who was perceptive, immediately sensed it and narrowed his eyes, sizing up the woman in front of him, whom he had just met several times. Her skin was fair and her features were exquisite. She had fine eyebrows and red lips, which made her charming and unforgettable. This beautiful face waspletely different from the one in his memory. They had no simrity at all. But Golden had a strange familiarity with Margery''s expression when she behaved politely but said harsh words just now. Golden nced at her with contemtive interest and spoke leisurely, "If the treatment does not work well, this hospital, which is not worthy of its name, has no need to exist at all." Margery was shocked. Golden was threatening her with her hospital. Five years had passed. This bastard, who should have gone to hell a long time ago, was still ruthless to her as before. She clutched the medical records in her hand, looked at the man with a cold face, and suddenly smiled lightly, "OK. It''s a deal." As soon as she said this, Margery saw the man reaching towards her and said one word sinctly, "Pen." Why did he need a pen? Margery didn''t react for a moment and looked at him in a daze. Her red lips slightly opened and her charming eyes also slightly widened. Her beauty moved Golden and let him unable to forget her. Margery seemed to be shrouded in a light mist and was like a difficult mystery, which constantly attracted Golden''s attention. Vivian stood behind Golden. When she saw him patientlymunicate with the female doctor who was so beautiful that she was ashamed of herself, her face became gloomier. She tried to take over the conversation several times. But strangely enough, the two seemed to form a circle of their own, excluding her from it, so that she could not find the opportunity to intervene. Vivian could not help but feel indescribably upset and flustered. Now, seeing that the beautiful female doctor stared nkly at Golden and was seductive, Vivian felt unhappy and secretly stepped forward. She squeezed Margery away, quickly brought out a pen from her bag, and gently handed it to Golden. Vivian looked up at Golden softly, saying, "Golden, you mean we will sign a contract now and confirm to be treated in this hospital?" Golden nodded, narrowed his eyes to look at Margery who was still in a daze, and smiled while remembering the feeling of desire in her hand that night, "Where is the contract?" Hearing the word "contract", Margery finally understood. She walked to the desk and found a contract. Looking at the nk column of expenses, she secretly gritted her teeth and filled in three million. Then she turned around and calmly handed it to Golden, saying lightly, "This price is just the cost of early detection. If the effect is confirmedter, Mr. Barrett needs to pay another three million. If there are no objections, you can sign." Vivian frowned, "Six million? It''s expensive." "A mere six million is just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Barrett." Margery chuckled. Thinking of that Golden once gave Pansy 10 million for breakup, but had never paid half a penny for Andrew''s medical bills, she hated him more inside. But she smiled more brightly, "Mr. Barrett does not need money, but needs stimtion. I promise you will definitely get the unforgettable stimtion." Herst words made Vivian change her face. She immediately turned to Golden. Seeing that Golden remained calm and was signing the contract with his head lowered, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she turned to look at Margery sharply, "Dr. Byrne, how are you going to treat him?" Chapter 25 She Has Special Tricks for Him Later Chapter 25 She Has Special Tricks for Him Later Feeling the sharpness of Vivian, Margery didn''t care at all. She gently pursed her red lips and nced at Vivian, her cousin who had delicate and perfect makeup, but it couldn''t cover her haggard face. She lowered her voice and said with a smile, "The treatment process is not important. What matters is the patient''s cooperation with the doctor! Ms. Martin, if you are sick, you can be cured. But if you are afraid of medical treatment, it''s a psychological problem and no one can save you. What do you think?" "..." Vivian''s face turned ashen with outrage. But she had no words to refute. After Margery''s death five years ago, she had thought she could rest easy and enjoy Golden''s affection from now on. She could never be afraid that Golden would find out what happened more than 20 years ago. But she had never expected that after Margery died, Golden was impotent overnight. In the past five years, she had done everything she could, but could not make him excited. It was as if he was also dead inside after Margery died. But how was this possible? She was the one he loved most! Vivian was so annoyed inside. But she subconsciously did not want the female doctor in front of her to notice it. So, she clenched the strap of her handbag and smiled gracefully, "Dr. Byrne, you are joking. I am not sick." If Vivian was not sick, how could she lead and y a medical ident and be a real vegetable by ident? How could she set Margery up to be hated by Golden? Margery held back the hatred in her heart and said calmly, "People eat grain and it is hard to avoid sick! Since you are here, I suggest that Ms. Martin also does a checkup. If there is something wrong with your health, you can see a doctor. If you are healthy, you can rest assured. If Ms. Martin believes in my ability, I naturally won''t let you down." Vivian hesitated for a moment and looked at Golden. Seeing that he had no objection, she could only grit her teeth and nod. Seeing this, Margery smiled faintly, "Okay, 3.1 million in total, by credit card or transfer?" Unexpectedly, the man who had finished signing suddenly turned his head and said ndly, "By credit card." They were so close that Margery could feel his warm breath on her white sensitive neck. His breath was hot and made her skin red and look beautiful. Margery didn''t know if he meant to or not. Her thin back stiffened. She was annoyed and almost could not hold back her anger and resentment. She wanted to p him. But when she looked up at the man''s expressionless and handsome face, she quickly calmed down and stepped back to distance him, her beautiful eyes calm, "OK." Margery took the ck card from Golden and personally swiped 3.1 million to the special ount of the hospital. Seeing arge sum of money would be transferred to the ount, she was in a particrly good mood. After turning around and handing the card back to the man, Margery turned to look at Vivian who had forced a smile from the moment she entered. Margery deliberately lowered her voice and was pleased, "Ms. Martin, let''s go. Please follow me." As for Golden.... Margery was indifferent and did not looked at him anymore. She walked out of the office, took out the cell phone from the pocket of the white uniform she was wearing, and called Dr. Lee of the andrology department. She asked Dr. Lee to bring Golden to do the necessary examination first. After the examination, she had special tricks for him. When she thought of those special tricks for Golden, Margery gradually rxed and smiled. She was walking fast and didn''t see the thoughtful eyes of the man behind her. * In the women''s testing room. Margery did not go in, stood by a ss window, and held a cup of tea in her hand. She sipped it leisurely, seeing Vivian''s embarrassment. Inside, Vivian no longer pretended to be elegant andy on a special testing chair with a long face. She spread her legs in humiliation, letting the doctor examine her with the cold instrument¡­. Suddenly, she let out a harsh scream, jumped up from the testing chair, and fiercely pushed the middle- aged female doctor who gave her an examination. Her face twisted in pain, "What did you do to me? Why does it hurt so much?" The middle-aged female doctor frowned and said in confusion, "What is wrong? It is just a routine examination." "A routine examination will hurt so much? Who are you kidding?" Vivian put on her skirt and straightened up, ring at the middle-aged woman doctor coldly, "Tell me, where is Dr. Byrne? Did she ask you to treat me like this?" "Ms. Martin, the fact that it hurts means there is something wrong with your health. What does this have to do with Dr. Byrne?" "I''m not sick!" Vivian''s facepletely sank. She pushed the middle-aged female doctor away and stormed out. Seeing this through the ss window, Margery immediately put the ss on the edge of the window, turned around, and stood at the door. When Vivian pulled open the door and walked out, Margery smiled slightly, "Ms. Martin, do you know why you are in pain? It''s very simple. When Mr. Barrett is cured, your pain will be naturally relieved." "Really?" Vivian was suspicious. This female doctor was too beautiful that Vivian hated her and could not trust her. "Of course!" Margery raised her eyebrow, smiled, and handed over another list, "Then there is the whole body shaping project. Ms. Martin, do you want to try it? With Mr. Barrett''s status and wealth, he naturally needs a more perfect woman! A perfect woman should have not only a beautiful face and a good figure, but also delicate skin. A woman with smooth, soft and glossy skin must be very popr with men." Vivian was good-looking and her skin was delicate. But it was not glossy, which had always been the ws Vivian was most concerned about. Now that she had given a medicine special for it, Vivian would definitely take the bait. Sure enough, Vivian was moved and frowned in contemtion. Golden had a fetish about cleanliness. He was interested in the dead Margery and even let her give birth to Andrew. Could it be because of Margery''s skin? If she had a skin which was the same as Margery, would Golden fall in love with her? She had waited for three years and another five years. She didn''t have much youth left to wait for him. So why didn''t she take a chance? Vivian made up her mind, pulled open her purse, and took out a card with a cold face, "This is one million for the project. But you must meet all my requirements." Margery smiled meaningfully as she took the card, "Ms. Martin, I promise to make you satisfied." She wanted snow-white skin, no problem. But she had to withstand the pain. Vivian, her delicate cousin, couldn''t even stand to be stuck by a needle, let alone the severe pain of dermabrasion. After Vivian was satisfied and left, Margery clenched the bank card in her hand and became cold. Vivian set her up, caused the Byrne family to bankrupt, and indirectly killed her mother and father. She would take revenge on her. Vivian had to go through the same pain she had suffered. After a long time, Margery calmed down and was about to walk away when the middle-aged female doctor came out from the inner room and said in surprise, "Dr. Byrne, this is Ms. Martin''s test report. It''s very strange. All kinds of data show that she seems to have never given birth." Margery smiled coldly and didn''t say anything.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. If Vivian had never given birth to a child, then who were Layne''s parents? Chapter 26 Poles Repel Each Other Chapter 26 Poles Repel Each Other After fixing Vivian, Margery vented her resentment a bit and walked towards her office with light steps, intending to take Ethan and Bonnie to KFC for their favorite burger and fries. As she reached the door and was about to push it open, the phone in her pocket rang. She took it out and saw that it was Dr. Lee, and answered it quickly. On the other side of the phone, Dr. Lee keptining, "Dr. Byrne, in view of Mr. Barrett''s physical condition, I''ve given him a lot of Adult Videos which have all kinds of beautiful women. But he was calm without the slightest excitement. Dr. Byrne, to be honest, in my long career, it is the first time I have seen such a calm man. I cannot cure him. Pleasee here to see him." Hearing that, Margery froze, "Dr. Lee, you''re the expert I hired at a high price. Is Golden''s condition really so serious that you can''t even cure him?" "Maybe he is demanding. The coquettish women in the videos are not his style." Margery just heard Dr. Lee''s helpless exnation. The next second, it seemed that he handed the phone to Golden. Then, Margery heard Golden saying in a serious tone, "Men cannot cure me. If I can find a woman like Dr. Byrne, I probably can be a little excited!" After that, Golden casually said again, "I remember that Dr. Byrne has said that what Icked was excitement and has promised to give me the unforgettable stimtion." "..." Margery clenched her phone and her face turned ashen with outrage. Damn it! Golden, the bastard who should have gone to hell long ago, had to retort upon her with what she said? It was just an off-the-cuff tagline, which was a bit exaggerated. She didn''t think he couldn''t understand it. He could be excited if it was her... That meant he regarded her as a prostitute? "Okay. Mr. Barrett, please wait for a moment. I''ll be right over to give you the unforgettable stimtion." Margery hung up, sneered, and did not push open the office door. Instead, she turned around and left, walked along the quiet corridor and went straight to the male testing department room on the third floor. She turned sharply and walked too fast, not noticing that the door behind her opened and closed gently, and a small figure followed her quietly. * When she reached the room, Margery didn''t see Vivian. She didn''t think too much, opened the door, and faced Dr. Lee, who was in a mess. Now, he looked even more bald. He frowned and said with a gloomy face, "Dr. Byrne, poles always repel each other. I am sorry." "Alright. Dr. Lee, thank you." Margery smiled. Seeing Dr. Lee leave, she put on a long face and walked in. She pushed open the door of the inner room, looked at the man who was smoking beside the testing equipment, and smiled, her eyes full of coldness, "Mr. Barrett, since the conventional adult videos didn''t work well, I''m going to use more intense treatment." "What do you mean?" The man exhaled the smoke, removed the cigarette butt from his thin lips and threw it into the garbage can, and looked up at her leisurely. His handsome face was serious, as if it was not him who had teased her on the phone. Margery couldn''t help but wonder if she misheard and misunderstood him. Golden only loved Vivian. How could he possibly be excited while facing her, a strange woman whom he had just met several times? Margery heaved a sigh of relief, nced at the fluctuating data on the screen of the instrument, and said indifferently, "Mr. Barrett, your illness is very serious. You must know it well. Since the videos and the medicine all do not work for you, I can only give you an acupuncture treatment." Seeing Golden''s face getting gloomier after hearing the "acupuncture treatment", Margery raised her eyebrows and was very happy. In their three years of marriage, in addition to the pain and despair, she still had gained something. At least, she inadvertently found him afraid of needles and other sharp things. Now, it came in handy today. He made her suffer, and she made him suffer. It was fair, right? Margery smiled coldly, bent down to choose things in the medical kit, and intended to find thergest syringe, which could make him painful. Suddenly, she felt the man''s fresh breath. He came closer and closer. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. She looked up and saw that the face she hated was less than two centimeters from the tip of her nose. His eyes were dark under the light. Golden sneered, "Are you sure you want to do this? I''m afraid you can''t stop itter." His eyes were cold and dangerous. "I don''t understand what you mean, Mr. Barrett. I''m just holding the professionalism of a doctor to treat you." Margery looked at him calmly, but sneered inside. She had already died once. What was she afraid of? If the worst came to the worst, she would die with him. Was it so simple? Golden stared at her. Seeing that she stabbed the needle to his abdomen without hesitation while replying Golden suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her white wrist with mixed feelings in his eyes, "You know I''m afraid of sharp objects. You seem to know me very well. Who are you?" From the moment he stepped into this hospital, the strange female doctor made him feel familiar. He couldn''t help trying to find out who she was. That night Margery had scratched and wed at him. Golden didn''t think she had forgotten it. But she seemed to have forgotten that she had harassed him and worked seriously. When she looked at Vivian and him, she inadvertently showed hatred. Although she tried to hide it, he still noticed it. If she was the Margery he knew, why did she have apletely different face and two children of that age? If she was not, why was her name also Margery, and she even opened such a hospital, full of visible hostility towards him and Vivian? "Is Mr. Barrett not only impotent, but also afraid of needles?" Margery widened her eyes in surprise as she pushed his strong palm away. She sighed and threw the syringe back into the medicine box, rubbed her wrist that was sore from the pressure, and chuckled, "You know very well who I am, Mr. Barrett, don''t you? This is hospital and I''m a doctor. Since you pay, I''m naturally responsible for curing you. Acupuncture is also a means of treatment! It doesn''t matter if Mr. Barrett doesn''t like it. I''ll try another treatment." Golden instantly frowned. He saw Margery taking out therge sharp drill and his eyes gradually turned cold, "Do you have to fix me?" "Yes! I was not only going to fix you, but also wanted you to be miserable!" Margery thought to herself. She subconsciously raised her hand to stroke her face that was smoother than before, looked at him, and smiled brightly, "Mr. Barrett why do you insist that I want to fix you?" Chapter 27 You Are Handsome but Impotent Chapter 27 You Are Handsome but Impotent Margery only thought about how to teach Golden a lesson. She waspletely unaware how beautiful she was when she raised her eyebrows and smiled. She had ck hair, pink face, and soft red lips. Her beautiful eyes were shining. She looked proud and attractive in the snow-white uniform. She held the silver sharp drill in her hand, which didn''t make people think she was rude, and made her more charming. "You threw the needle and reced it with a sharper drill. Don''t you do harm to me?" Golden stared at her. He suddenly raised his strong arms, held Margery''s thin wrist, and pulled her closer to him. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Why? Have I ever offended you? Or are you fighting for someone?" Margery was grabbed by Golden and couldn''t move. She was angry inside, but smiled more brightly on the surface, "Mr. Barrett, you must have done a lot of bad things to think that every doctor who treats you wants to do harm to you." "No, only you gave me that feeling." The man looked at her and raised his eyebrows, "If you are trying to attract my attention, then congrattions, you did." No! She didn''t try to! Margery was really angry with his action to call white ck. She violently broke free from his hands, held back the blue veins on her temples, and sneered, "Mr. Barrett, you are handsome and rich. Unfortunately, you are impotent. I am not stupid. Why do I attract your attention? It''s not good for me." "If I were handsome and also strong, I wouldn''t have appeared in such a small, shabby hospital." The man withdrew his palm and leisurely lit a cigarette, his eyes deep, "A friendly reminder, if you cannot cure me, this hospital, which is not worthy of its name, must disappear." "You...!" Margery was so angry that she almost lost her temper. She took a deep breath before resisting the urge to tear him apart with a knife. She licked her red lips, gritted her teeth, and said, "Mr. Barrett, didn''t you read the terms and conditions when signing the contract? A course of treatment costs three million and willst for 10 days to half a month. This is the first day. Can you conclude that I can''t cure it? Why don''t we make a bet? If I can cure you in half a month, you need to give me another 5 million and hold a press conference to apologize to me personally." "OK." The man replied so quickly that Margery was caught off guard and almost choked on her own saliva, "Mr. Barrett, you agreed?" "Yes." Golden nodded with a calm face. His beautiful fingers fell on the thin lips and he removed the cigarette from his lips, exhaled the smoke, and smiled lightly, "Money and apology are all not problems, as long as you can cure me." With that, he dropped his cigarette butt, got up from the test chair, and walked out. When he passed by Margery, he lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "Dr. Byrne, I''ve seen the stimtion today. I look forward to more unforgettable stimtion from you, okay?" The words seem to be teasing, which annoyed Margery and made her have mixed feelings. She subconsciously stepped back to avoid his warm breath and gentle words. In the past, she was most eager to hear these gentle words from him! She had tried to keep the loveless marriage for three years. Until she was desperate and her baby Andrew died an untimely death, she still did not wait for a trace of his pity. Now, he said these words to her, a strange woman whom he had not met several times. It was really ridiculous. She should have known that this man was cruel and heartless to anyone except Vivian. Or from the beginning, she should not have fallen in love with him, nor should she humbly expect him to have any response to her love. Only by letting this cruel and heartless man experience being hurt by his most beloved, could he be heartbroken and overwhelmed with sorrow! Margery gritted her teeth, hid the pain and hatred, looked up at the man who was waiting for her answer, and said calmly, "Don''t worry. I promise to satisfy you, Mr. Barrett." R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only After getting a satisfactory answer, Golden turned around and left. Staring at his receding figure and seeing that he finally disappeared into the elevator, Margery was relieved and slid limply down the wall onto the cold tile floor for a long time, until she realized her eyes wet. She casually found some tissues in her pocket and was about to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes when a small white hand suddenly reached over and wiped her tears with a small clean handkerchief. As he wiped her face, Ethan asked with a cool face, "Mommy, I just saw him walk out of here. Did he bully you again?" "Ethan, what are you doing here?" Looking at her son who suddenly appeared with a serious look, Margery slowly came back to her senses and quietly waited for him to clean her face before opening her arms and hugging the little boy in her arms, "He didn''t bully me. Mommy is fine." "Mommy have not returned for a long time. So I came to look for you." Ethan clenched his little fists and narrowed his eyes which were as beautiful as Golden''s, "Mommy, why are you crying? Don''t lie to me again that it is because of the wind. I''m not the greedy Bonnie. You can''t fool me." "Hey, you said Bonnie is greedy again. If she hears it, she must be angry with you." Margery couldn''t help butugh out loud. She pinched Ethan''s delicate face and said with a smile, "Clever boy. But children should not care too much about adults, or you may not grow, okay?" After that, she took Ethan''s little hand and stood up from the floor. They slowly walked out while Margery said to Ethan, "Ethan, mommy is fine. He came here to cure his illness, not to trouble me. Don''t worry." Ethan thought to himself, "But you are crying, mommy. How can I not worry?" Ethan looked down and quietly followed Margery out. Out of sight of Margery, his eyes were cool and he murmured in a low voice, "Mommy, he doesn''t want you and bully you. Then, I''ll bully his son." * Margery led Ethan back to her office. She was almost knocked down by Z who suddenly pounced, "Margery, did you receive the big boss? What is he doing in our hospital? Is it because he is interested in the future potential of our hospital and intends to merge and invest in it?" "No, Z, you''re thinking too much." Margery calmly pushed away Z, who was so excited that her eyes were shining, and cruelly threw cold water on her ideas, "He''s here to see a doctor for his impotence. Are you sure you still like him?" Z was instantly shocked, "Margery, are you serious? You''re not lying to me?" "I don''t have to lie to you." Margery red at her, led Ethan to Bonnie who was eating an apple, handed him an apple, and patted the two kids'' heads gently. Then, she walked to the window and called Melvin, "Melvin, are you free to come to the hospital now? I have an urgent matter to discuss with you!" Chapter 28 Something Really Happened Chapter 28 Something Really Happened After a short wait, Melvin arrived in a hurry, carrying tworge bags in his hands. He pushed open the door while breathing heavily, "Margery, I am here. I was drinking with my friends just now. So why are you in such a hurry to call me here?" "There is an important thing." Margery walked forward, took the tworge bags from him, and put them on the desk casually. When she opened them and saw the steaming hot take-out and delicious Family Big Box of KFC, Margery raised her eyebrows and smiled. She gave the take-out to Z first and put the Family Big Box in front of Ethan and Bonnie, and then said softly, "Ethan, Bonnie, you guys and Z eat first. Melvin and I have to discuss something." Bonnie opened her two small arms and hugged the KFC and put on an excited smile, "Yes, mommy, just go ahead. I''ll eat it with Ethan." Ethan, however, stood still, frowned at his mommy, and then looked at Melvin. His little face looked serious and his eyes were dark. No one knew what he was thinking. Margery raised her hand and touched his face, sighing slightly, "Ethan, eat it with Bonnie, okay? Good boy." Her baby son was smart and clever. He had strong hands-on ability and was good at everything. But he was too thoughtful. Sometimes, she didn''t even know what he was thinking. Probably, Ethan was just like Golden. At this time, thinking of that inhumane man who should have gone to hell a long time ago, Margery had mixed feelings. Maybe in this life, no matter how much she hated him, she had to be grateful that he gave her two most adorable babies in the world. Margery walked out of the office in aplicated mood, shook her head, and led Melvin to the office at the end of the hall. No, to be exact, it was the monitoring room which was filled withputers of all sizes and all kinds of wiring. She walked to the desk in the center, opened theputer screen with ease, double-clicked the mouse to find the video she wanted, and yed it for Melvin to watch. "Melvin, this is the surveince room of the whole hospital. Initially, it was to prevent some artificial disputes between doctors and patients. But after Golden and Vivian came here today, I suddenly came up with a good idea." Margery tapped the table with slim white fingers. She smiled meaningfully, "Golden has run the Barrett Group for many years. He can even represent the Barrett Group now. If his personal image is tainted by impotence, then, hispany will naturally suffer a great impact and the stock price will keep falling, too!" "As for Vivian, she has always been a wless celebrity. If the video of her whitening and rejuvenating skin at the expense of one million goes around, her perfect image without stic surgery will copse and her reputation will be in ruins. How perfect she was before, how much she will be dislikedter." At this point, she paused, licked her dry lips, narrowed her charming eyes, and said, "Melvin, I intend to post all these videos online. What do you think?" Melvin cupped his chin, pondered for a moment, and shook his head to reject Margery''s idea, "It''s not a good idea to post these now... I think it''s very unsafe." Unsafe? Margery was nervous, "Melvin, are you worried that Golden will soon find out my true identity through these videos?" "Yes." Melvin pointed to the time disyed at the bottom right of theputer, smiling and analyzing, "Golden and Vivian just arrived at your hospital this morning for testing and treatment. At two o''clock, the Inte was full of negative news about them. Even a silly man can know that it was Bok Hospital who did it! When Goldenes to you, do you think how long you can hide your identity?" "Well... I didn''t think so much about it. I am too careless." Margery looked at Melvin, who hit the nail on the head, and blushed slightly. She just wanted to seize the opportunity to get back at Golden and Vivian, but did not think too much. It didn''t matter if her true identity was exposed. But soon, Golden would know the existence of Ethan and Bonnie. The day the children were discovered by Golden would likely be the day Margery lost them. After all, Margery secretly gave birth to Ethan and Bonnie without telling Golden. But how could she give Ethan and Bonnie away? Impossible. Ethan and Bonnie were her life and her heart! Margery took a deep breath and said, "Then we''ll keep the videos and post them when it is time?" "Yes, that''s it for now." Melvin waved his hand. He sat still and stared at theputer, narrowed his eyes and muttered incredulously, "Margery, I think there is something wrong! You called her Ms. Martin, not Mrs. Barrett. Vivian and Golden didn''t even refute you? Isn''t Golden the one who loves Vivian the most? In general, Golden should be happier if you call Vivian Mrs. Barrett. Besides, Vivian also did not correct you..." As he spoke, Melvin had a brainwave, "Damn, could it be that they are not married at all?" "I don''t think so. They have a child. How can they not be married?" Margery was confused, but was pushed by Melvin, who stood up sharply, and walked out. Melvin snorted and sighed as he pushed her away, "Forget it. It''s their business, not ours. We don''t have to go into it." Margery clenched her fingers in silence and didn''t say anything. They walked back from the surveince room while Melvin suddenly screamed, "Margery, I was busy chatting with the girls at the bar. You were in a hurry to call me here just for such a small thing?" "Or for what?" Margery frowned and turned to re at Melvin, "Can you do more business? I have heard that the two man that your stepmother brought into the Collins family have been pleasing your father and trying to get more benefits. You should use your brain." "All right, I know it well in my heart. I won''t damage your revenge on Golden and Vivian! My friends are still waiting for me to drink. Bye. Just call me if you need anything!" Melvin stepped into the elevator and waved at Margery with a smile. Margery shook her head and was helpless, "You''ve been drinking. Take care." "OK." * R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only After dropping off Melvin, Margery went back to her office, ate the hot take-out, and then finished the handwriting with Ethan and Bonnie. At 5:30 p.m., she took them back to Sunshine Community. The next morning, Margery got up early and drove the two children to kindergarten. Then, she hurried to the hospital, put on the uniform, and started to work. But somehow, she was distracted all morning, as if something bad was going to happen. When she went to the pantry to make coffee, she forgot to bring the ground coffee. When she asked the patient''s family to sign the contract, she forgot to bring pen¡­. This feeling became even more intense in the afternoon. While Margery was distracted, her cell phone on the desk rang loudly. ncing at the call from the teacher of kindergarten, she took a deep breath and answered it in a hurry, "Hello. Yes, this is me!" After hearing the first words the teacher said, Margery froze and there was only one thought in her mind. Something happened. Her hunch was right. Something really happened! Chapter 29 Panic Chapter 29 Panic Margery was quite surprised with her eyes wide opened. She stressed every single word while gritting her teeth, "Did you just say that Ethan didn''t take the initiative to hit him but he incited other kids to beat Layne up? And Layne was almost knocked out?" "Ms. Byrne, please watch your attitude. Do you think I, as a teacher, will lie to you?" Ms. Hall was quite mad while speaking. She suddenly raised her sharp voice, which rendered Margery feeling a bang of headache. "Let me tell you! The parents of Layne have been offering millions of sponsor fee every single year. And their only request is to take good care of Layne. Now we didn''t know what we should do when facing his parents! I have been a teacher for so many years and this is my first time to encounter such an aggressive kid! Ms. Byrne, pleasee here. When Layne''s parents arrive, please apologize to them with Layne." "Okay, I will be right there!" Margery hung up the phone and took off her white gown. She immediately grabbed her phone and car key from the table. Then she hurried to rush out. As soon as she got into the car, she activated the engine and hurried to drive her car on the busy road. As the wind outside the window rushed to her face, she was rendered quite agitated. She knew that Ethan did this just to revenge her as he saw her crying yesterday. So Ethan might probably deem that it was Golden who had humiliated her yesterday. Since Golden dared to humiliate her, Ethan would choose to retaliate against his son. But he wisely got himself off the fight. Instead, he made other kids in the ss beat Layne up. What a cunning kid! He did it in the same way just like his father, Golden Barrett! Margery couldn''t help blinking out of annoyance, though she was indeed amused at the thought of that. When she was still on her way to the kindergarten, Ms. Hall made a call to her again, "Ms. Byrne, where are you now? Layne''s mother has arrived. She is about to take Layne to the hospital. Please be quick!" While waiting for the traffic light, Margery answered the phone, trying her best to stay patient, "Okay, I am on my way. I will arrive about twenty minutester." At this moment, the light turned green. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Margery immediately stepped on the gas and rushed forward. At the same time, Vivian was standing in a room beside a bright ssroom in the kindergarten. And she was staring at a tough-looking kid, who stood still in the ssroom. When seeing his elegant and delicate face, she seemed to suffer great impact. She couldn''t help stepping backwards on her high heels. Then she managed to stop, looking panic while staring at Ethan. Her pupils shrank to a narrow slit out of fear. "Ms. Hall, he is Ethan Byrne?" "Yes, Miss Martin, he is Ethan Byrne, who incited other kids to beat Layne." When hearing that, Vivian suddenly turned pale. She felt like being struck by coldness all over. This pretty little boy was wearing a delicate face with fair skin, rosy lips and shining teeth, frowning impatiently. His Every single move looked so much like Golden. She even failed to figure out an excuse to convince herself that he might not be Golden''s son. However, Margery had died five years ago. Besides, Golden had been impotent during these years. It would be impossible for him to have an illegitimate child. So where did this boye from? Why did he happen to study in this kindergarten? Why was he hostile to Layne? And why did he incite other kids to beat Layne when he was just admitted to the kindergarten? Was he actually Margery''s son? Or did Margerye back to life? No! Impossible! Vivian still remembered that she herself witnessed the burnt dead body of Margery five years ago. And it was Golden who burnt her into ashes and buried her into the cemetery in the suburban area. Vivian was totally trapped in panic. When noticing that Ms. Hall was still looking at her from behind, she immediately calmed herself down and covered her mouth with her fair hand. She cleared her voice and asked elegantly, "Ms. Hall, since it happened, did you notice Ethan''s parents?" "I have noticed his mom and she said that she was on her way. She should arrive soon." When hearing her mentioning about ''his mom'', Vivian was rendered quite panic. She immediately dragged Ms. Hall aside and asked out of instinct with sharp voice while her pale lips were trembling, "Do you know about the name of his mother?" "Oh, sorry, I don''t know. When Ethan was admitted, we only recorded the name of his father. Well, his father''s name is¡­Michael Byrne. Yeah, that''s right, Michael Byrne!" Michael Byrne? Vivian frowned. She was still feeling agitated. But she tried to calm down and kept pondering. However, she didn''t find herself acquainted with someone named Michael Byrne. Since then, Vivian was sure that she was just a stranger to Ethan''s father. And so was Golden. Perhaps it was just a coincidence. At the thought of that, Vivian felt rxed a bit. However, the fact was that Ethan looked so much alike Golden! She was still quite worried about it. She made up her mind that she could never spare a chance for Golden to see Ethan. It would be quite likely that Ethan would be bomb destroying her rtionship with Golden! Vivian turned around and stared at Ethan''s little face. She turned to be vicious gradually. She grabbed the bag hard and raised her voice, looking cold and repellent, "Ms. Hall, Layne is a weak kid. And today he was beaten by the other kids in the ss. He was suffering both mentally and physically. I need the exnation from the principal of the kindergarten! Now Layne is seriously hurt. I need to drive him to the hospital first! When Ethan''s mother arrives, please notice her that I want a formal apology for Layne!" When hearing that, Ms. Hall immediately shifted her face from a fawning smile to a mean-looking expression. She hurried to the door and pointed at Ethan from distance. Then she shouted agitatedly, "Ethan! Just remember! Your mom is about to arrive! And she will soon be arrested by the police! And it was all your fault! Oh, I don''t think we can keep such a vicious kid like you in the kindergarten! There is no room to negotiate. Get out of the kindergarten today! And get to the prison with your mom!" Ethan still remained silent, looking aloof. He stared at Ms. Hall''s mouth and clenched his fists hard. He stood still on spot. After shouting at Ethan, Ms. Hall noticed that Vivian was about to leave. She hurried forward with a fawning smile, "Miss Martin, the door of the backyard is still open. Let me walk you and Layne to the car and I will close the door after that. There is a hill outside the door and there is barely anyone there. I don''t want any kids to be missing." Suddenly, Ethan caught her words clearly. He opened his big eyes and then walked out of the room. He headed straight forward the door of the backyard. He still remembered Melvin once told him that as a boy, he should be responsible for what he had done. Of course, he didn''t want his mom to be arrested because of himself. So he deemed that his mom wouldn''t be arrested if the police found him missing. While Vivian was walking and Ms. Hall was stepping aside the answer the phone, she turned around and happened to notice that Ethan was walking towards the backyard. Seeing that, she let out an evil smile. Something vicious suddenly popped out in her mind. Chapter 30 Where Is Ethan? Chapter 30 Where Is Ethan? When Margery arrived at the gate of the kindergarten, she was about to hop off her car immediately. However, she suddenly noticed that Vivian was standing beside a silver limousine elegantly, talking to Ms. Hall while nodding. Seeing that, Margery decided to stay in the car. In order not to be noticed, Margery curled herself up in the driver''s seat. She tried to hide herself as much as she could. She peeped outside the car with only half of her head leaning against the window. Then, she started to notice the kid whom Ms. Hall was hugging. He was wearing a tailored children ck suit. His tiny head was covered with soft hairs. He looked pale with his listless eyes. His thin arms hung loosely beside his thin legs. Obviously, he seemed to be quite frustrated after being beaten. He looked pitiful just like a wounded kitty. Margery saw clearly that it was indeed Layne, who was heavily beaten by other kids because of Ethan. When seeing that, she was rendered a bit guilty. She admitted that no matter how much she hated both Golden and Vivian, she still felt guilty when seeing that such an innocent kid got involved because of that. Perhaps even Layne himself seemed to feel the sinceritying from her eyes, he slowly turned around and looked at her car, frowning still. When seeing his clear big eyes, Margery was rendered nervous while her heart was beating fiercely. A trace of distraction appeared on her face. Her heart kept beating as well when she saw himst time. The same thing happened this time. Why? Of course, Layne had nothing to do with her as he was Golden and Vivian''s son. Thought he was just an innocent kid, he was still Vivian''s son. Margery shouldn''t hurt him. Nor should she be too soft-hearted when facing him. She shook her head and let out a smile out of self-mockery. Seeing that Ms. Hall put Layne on the back seat carefully and Vivian also got into the limousine, she then got off her car after the limousine drew out of the gate when Vivian posed elegantly to give order to the chauffer. Margery hurried to the front of Ms. Hall and smiled awkwardly, "Ms. Hall, I am so sorry. I am a bitte because of the traffic jam. You are right. I should be med as I am Ethan''s mom. Since it was he who incited other kids to beat Layne, both of us should take the responsibility. I am really sorry to bother you at work!" Margery apologized with great sincerity. So Ms. Hall was less angry. But she still med with harsh voice, "Ms. Byrne, I still have to tell you that Ethan is the most aggressive kid I have ever met since my first day serving as a teacher. And Layne, who was beaten, has been taken to hospital by his mother. And I believe that you should just see that. Layne is a weak kid. He almost fainted after being beaten up. Fortunately, as generous as his mother Miss Martin is, she only asked for your apology to both Layne''s parents with Ethan." "Apologize to both his parents?" When hearing that, Margery was a bit stunned. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. She was required to apologize to both Golden and Vivian with Ethan? What if Golden noticed that Ethan looked almost the same as him! At the thought of that, Margery couldn''t help trembling. She didn''t even dare to assume further. "If you refused to apologize, his parents wouldn''t forgive you. What''s worse, Ethan would be expelled from the kindergarten!" Ms. Hall was surprised with her eyes wide opened, "Ms. Byrne, Layne''s mom didn''t even ask you for paying the medical fee and damages for Layne. And you are going to refuse to apologize? It''s our first time to encounter such a tricky situation. Now it totally depends on Layne''s parents to decide if Ethan could still stay in the kindergarten. Sorry, we could do nothing about it." "Okay¡­" Margery nodded and hurried to follow Ms. Hall inside, "Excuse me, where is Ethan?" "After what happened just now, the principal asked me to lock him into a little room beside the ssroom. As for those kids who got involved, they were asked to stay in the ssroom and waited for reproach." When hearing that, Margery was rendered anxious, "Where is the room? Ms. Hall, please lead the way." Ms. Hall was also rendered a bit annoyed. She tried to hold back her madness and pointed at a room a few meters away, "Over there. He stays inside. And he still refused to apologize! I could do nothing about it. So I ask him to stay in the room as the principal has required." Margery kept silent and hurried forward. However, the closer she approached, the more anxious she turned to be. She was afraid that she would lose Ethan if she reached a bitter. She rushed forward and opened the half-closed door. Then she looked around anxiously. However, there was no one inside. Only a wooden table and a chair were left alone. She didn''t see Ethan in the room. Nor did she see him elsewhere around. Ethan was just a four-year- old kid. He should have nowhere to hide. Margery was so agitated. She immediately turned around and stared at Ms. Hall. She yelled anxiously as if her throat was now burning, "Didn''t you tell me that Ethan was here? Where is he now?" "What¡­" Ms. Hall was scared when seeing the twisted face of Margery. She rushed in to search around. She even checked the drawer of the table. However, there was no way to fit such a kid in that small drawer. Ms. Hall was also anxious when she noticed that Ethan was not in the room. She rushed out, trembling, "Ms. Byrne, don''t worry. Let me check in the ssroom ahead. Perhaps he went to y with his sister. That''s right! I will go to Bonnie''s ssroom." Ms. Hall immediately went to see Bonnie, hoping that she could find Ethan there. However, Margery was aware that there was no hope. She knew well about Ethan. He barely made any mistake as cunning and clever as he had always been. When he made mistakes, he would never tell his mom or Melvin about it. He always tried to make up for it with his own efforts till he solved it perfectly. Just like his father, Golden Barrett, both of them were badly stubborn, which rendered Margery quite frustrated. "Ethan, where are you?" Frowning, Margery walked around the room again and again. But she still didn''t see Ethan. She bit her lips so hard that it even started to swell. She had no idea what to do. At the same time, both Ms. Hall and the principal also came over from the other side, looking panic. Ms. Hale was even more agitated. She was no longer harsh and said in anxious tone, "Ms. Byrne, I have checked through the ssroom and the area around. But I haven''t found Ethan. I also went to ask Bonnie. She told me that she didn''t see him either. We don''t know where he headed to!" Chapter 31 Discover Her Identity Chapter 31 Discover Her Identity Margery grabbed the phone and tended to call the police by instinct. Ms. Hall noticed and stopped her immediately, "That won''t help. The police will dismiss this case since she hasn''t been missing for 24 hours." "What should I do?" Margery was in a panic. Tears were hanging in her red, wildly open eyes. She was wandering in front of the darkroom, thinking about where her baby would go, whether he was scared or hungry, or was in danger¡­ She had already lost Andrew, and she couldn''t lose Ethan again. Ms.Hall was worried about the disappearance of Ethan, "I was just stopped over for a minute, didn''t expect that he would run away quietly." "Calm down. The security cameras show Ethan hasn''t left the kindergarten yet. He must be in the garten." The principal was a man in his 50s, who was more sensible than the two women in panic. He frowned and looked around, and saw the utched little door to the backyard, "Crap. He must go to the hill behind the garten." The hill behind? The unfrequented hill that was covered with trees and woods? Margery was stunned, felt like she was grabbed by a giant hand, and fell down into the abyss suddenly. "That''s unreasonable! How can you allow a kid to such a dangerous ce alone?" Margery was burning with anxiety and rushed to the door without giving Ms. Hall and Mr. Gray a nce. Ms. Hall was pale and said, "Mr. Gray, I¡­I was busying in pacifying Layne and Vivian and forgot to lock the door." Mr.Gray gave her a serious nce and lowered his head, "This is not the time for ountability. Find more teachers with you and then go to the hill in search of Ethan. He is our priority." ¡­ "Ethan, Ethan! Where are you! Pleasee out!" "Ethan¡­ Pleasee out! Mom''s so worried about you!" "I know that you do this is take it out on me. Don''t worry, I won''t me you or scold you, I always love you!" "Please, don''t hide from me, for which I will feel in pain and can''t stop crying. Thest thing you want to see is your mommy crying, right?" In the forest, Margery was walking in the path covered with leaves and shouting her son''s name anxiously. She shouted herself hoarse but found nothing. The sun was sinking, and the sky was darker and darker. Once she realized that she had found no clue about Ethan, she felt helpless. She had tasted this grievance before. Five years ago, when she lost Andrew, she felt her life had no meaning anymore. And now, was she going to experience this again? Margery smiled wanly like she was crying. After stumbling for a long time, she recalled that she should call Melvin. He was a good mixer with lots of friends. And he knew more about how to find a person than her. Right, call Melvin. He must be helpful to her. She held the tears and took the phone with her shivering hand. She was so frightened that she typed the number directly rather than search it from the address list. Several secondster, the call was taken. Before Melvin could greet her in fun, Margery wept and said, "Melvin? Ethan is missing." ¡­ In the president''s office of the Barrett Group, Goldenid down on his ck executive chair with his eyes closed. Just now, the four hours'' business meeting wore him out. Suddenly, the phone on his office table rang. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. The ringtone was yed loud, but he didn''t tend to pick it up immediately and just pinched his lips. He picked up the phone after a while and answered it. Unexpectedly, it was not the sound of Vivian he heard, but another young woman''s. The voice was soft, and words were broken, reminding him of the woman who had disappeared five years ago. The difference was, this woman was crying out to him, "Malvin? Ethan is missing¡­" It almost convinced him that it was Margery telling him worriedly that Andrew was sick again. Margery Byrne¡­ Margery Byrne! Golden suddenly opened his eyes and read the number on the screen as a reflex action. The former part of the phone number was identical to that he remembered, but thetter part was strange. Just another woman who called the wrong number. Golden hung up the phone in a daze, and his bright eyes were gradually dimmed. His mind was filled with sorrow. Meanwhile, the door was opening slowly, and his assistant Pierson walked in with a phone in his hand. Ha approached the office table and said subtlely, "Mr. Barrett, it''s the sixth time that Ms. Martin has called you. Would you like to take the call?" Looking at the phone in Pierson''s hand and the phone on the table he just picked up, Golden was puzzled. Then, he raised his head abruptly and said, "the phone in your hand, is that the one I routinely use?" Pierson was confused, "Yes, Mr. Golden. You were not avable to pick up the phone when busying in hosting the international meeting at noon, and then you deposited it with me. What''s the problem?" "So this one¡­" Golden squinted his eyes. He had stopped using this phone when something happened to Margery. In five years, he had been using a new number. He wanted to bury the old number with Margery in his heart. At that moment, if he had been more patient with her, she wouldn''t have been killed by that vicious driver. To retaliate against him, the driver murdered her and Andrew. In other words, he indirectly caused her death. When something happened to Vivian, he hated her. But when she died in such a miserable way, he suddenly realized in these three years she had be an integral part of his life. But now, the phone, which had been silent for five years, rang tonight. Perhaps, it was Margery who made the call. No matter who was "Melvin" or "Ethan", he needed to find her out. His eyes were gleaming. He took the phone, selected the only number on the address list, and showed it to Pierson, "Find out who its owner is, and where she is!" It was the first time that he had seen Golden, a reserved man, be emotional for someone except Vivian. He nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Mr. Barrett." Chapter 32 Drop Away at Critical Moment Chapter 32 Drop Away at Critical Moment When Pierson was left, Golden lit up a cigarette and made a few deep puffs. The smoke of tar went deep down to his throat and soothed his flutter. Gradually, he recovered his state of being hard-boiled. If Margery was thedy who called him, why didn''t she contact him in these five years? If she wasn''t Margery, why would she know his old number? The cigarette end was glowing red, and his face became indistinct behind the grey smoke. Pierson was pretty efficient on this. Soon, he ced the files about Margery''s location and profile on his desk and made an borate report, "Mr. Barrett, we contacted the personnel on telmunication and transportation department through rtionshipwork and acquired the information about the woman. She is Margery Byrne, a doctor, and principal of Bok Hospital. Now she is at the kindergarten where Layne is studying. To be precise, she is looking for her son Ethan along the hill." It was Margery, the doctor of Bok Hospital, again! He gave a sign to let him continue. Pierson nced at the end of the report and became constrained, "Besides, I also contacted the principal of the kindergarten. He said that Ethan incited all the ssmates to beat Layne. He had informed Ms. Martin, and then she brought Layne to the hospital very soon. So, the six calls from Ms. Martin may be rted to this." Hearing this, Golden frowned, "He got beaten? How is he?" "Well¡­ I haven''t call Ms. Martin back yet." Golden gave him the order and walked out of the office straightly. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Pierson followed with two phones in his hand. ¡­ Several minutester, Pierson was waiting for the green light on the driver seat and nced at the mirror by chance, from which he saw the manid on the back seat was smoking frequently. He smoked one after another, and his dark eyes were shining. Having been used to his poker face, Pierson felt a little bit surprising and praised, "Mr. Barrett, it seems like you are in a good mood today." Golden raised his eyes coldly and said, "keep driving." "¡­" Pierson was frightened and stopped making any guess. But he was so curious about thedy who made Golden change, making him shining like a sun. Golden didn''t put Pierson''s words in mind. He took the phone he used now and called Vivian back, "It''s me! How is Layne?" "Golden, I have called you six times. Do you just finish your meeting?" Her soft voice and the sense of feeling wronged in her words could only make people feel tender and protective toward her. "It is said that Layne is beaten by his ssmates, so I bring him to the hospital. The corner of his mouth bleeds a little, and various bruises are on his arms and legs. The doctor checks him over and finds no damage to the internal organs. Apart from these, I have something else to tell you." "Golden, I was about to find the parents of that bad kid and demanded them to say sorry to Layne in the hospital, but Layne didn''t want me to do so. He said almost every child in the kindergarten was afraid of hurting him and avoided ying with him except the kid''s sister, and if I did so, even she would leave him behind. So, I want to know your opinion." "Now he is not that healthy, so you should calm him down and do what he wants." Golden finished his words and hanged up the call. He asked Pieron coldly, "Is everyone there?" "Yes. They are heading for the hill." "Good. Drive me to the kindergarten as soon as possible." Golden requested with aplomb. He had a feeling, that a big surprise was waiting for him out there. ¡­ In the VIP private ward of the hospital, Vivian was standing by the window, grasping her fingers. A sense of sorrow showed on her beautiful face. "You have changed, Golden. Now, Layne''s words are even more persuasive than mine." Later, she raised her lips and wore an insidious smile, "You said you would leave Ethan alone. Trust me, you will regret it." Since Golden left Ethan alone, he would never know that there was a kid called Ethan who looked almost the same as him. Besides, when she left the kindergarten, she saw Ethan was slipping into the hill. What would happen when a kid walked into a harsh hill alone? ¡­ The sky was getting darker. In the dense forest of the hill, Margery was exhausted and sweaty. When she looked at the battery indicator and found only 10% left, she felt helpless. If the power of her phone ran out, it would be more impossible for her to find Ethan. What should she do? What should she do? Over an hour psed, but where was Melvin? When she didn''t need him, he always stayed with her and the kids and never went away. But now when she was in need, he was nowhere to be seen. What the hell! She was angry and anxious. When she saw the battery indicator dropped to 9%, she was determined to call Melvin again. And he turned off the phone! Margery was burst into anger, almost tending to smash her phone on the ground, "Melvin, you prick!" Why did he drop away at the critical moment? Could he be a little more helpful? When she was stumbling in the forest and searching for Ethan, she could hear sounds of footsteps were approaching. Beams of light were moving, the sounds of men talking to each other were spreading. It seemed like a lot of people were running toward her. "Mr. Barrett, ording to the intel, Ms. Byrne is one mile around." Golden walked on the fallen leaves and stared at Pierson, "What are you waiting for? Find her." "Yes, Mr. Barrett." Pierson made some gestures and the crews he brought spread out quickly, heading into the forest from different directions. Margery turned around and looked at all of these in a trance until a beam of lightid on the trunk next to her. With the help of the light, she could see the face of the man approaching her clearly, which surprised her, "Golden Barrett? Why are you here?" The man walked toward her, staring at her lovely face, and squinted his eyes, "Dr. Byrne, the way you called me will make me mistake that we are familiar with each other." Chapter 33 He Is Shameless Chapter 33 He Is Shameless The man stood close to her, giving her an indistinct smile. His voice made her feel both relieved and distressed. She realized that she was so astonished to see him that she said his name unconsciously. An intelligent man like him would notice that she was hiding something. But¡­ So what? She had a different face now. What could he possibly do to her if she kept hiding it? Margery pinched her finger, calmed herself down, and smiled at him, "You are humourous, Mr. Barrett. Do you mean I have an average face? You jumping out suddenly in thete-night really terrifies me. Of course, I fail to call you respectfully in such a case." She was having a bright smile, but behind the smile, she was suffering from turmoil. Her watery eyes revealed her displeasure. Golden knew she was worried about her son, Ethan. He and she had met each other for the first time in a hospital somewhere in the warm south. She and Melvin were standing close to each other with two children, which were a boy and a girl. He heard that the boy called Melvin dad. She was the wife of Melvin and gave birth to his children, whosest name was Byrne. Now the kid was gone, no wonder why she would telling Melvin tearfully on the phone. But why would she call his old number for finding her kid? Golden was unpleasant, grabbed her thin arm, and dragged her close to him, "Why do you call my number if we aren''t familiar with each other?" "I haven''t called you! Let me go, I don''t have time mess with you!" Margery was frantic about spending so much time but found nothing about Ethan. She wanted to get rid of him immediately but Golden didn''t loosen his hand. Desperately, she gave Golden a p. Hoo! Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. She pped nothing while her wrist was held by Golden. With her hands under control, Margery raised her head and stared at him angrily, "What do you want, Mr. Barrett?" He moved close to her, "Forty minutes ago, a number, started with 139 and ended with 3366, called me. Is that your number?" "Yes¡­ It''s mine." Margery realized that she must have called Golden mistakenly in the hurry, "Sorry, Mr. Barrett, I called the wrong number. Your number is so simr to Melvin''s. I can show you on the phone if you don''t believe me." Golden was dubious, but still released her arms. Now that her hands were free, she selected Melvin''s number quickly on the phone and showed it to Golden, "Take a look." Seeing the number which only had one difference from his, Golden lowered his eyes. He knew he couldn''t get more from her, so he left her alone. He moved the searchlight in his hand, found a direction, and said to Margery before walking down the hill, "follow me." "To where?" "To find your child." "In this way?" Margery hesitated for a minute but still decided to follow him. Although, she was sure about whether he was right. She had been wandering around the forest so long but found no sign of Ethan. He arrived here some minutes ago. How could he know where Ethan was? "You don''t believe me? Or do you have a better option?" Golden turned around and saw she was walking slowly. She might be exhausted, stumbling, and staggering, but still staying several meters away from him. He made a dissatisfied look and reached out his strong hand to hold her thin wrist, dragging her to his side and supporting her waist with his hand, "Since I''m already here, you should listen to me." He said in a calm and reliable manner, which soothed her heart riddled with panic. Thanks to his support on the waist, she felt much easier to walk on the mountain. Ethan was the priority for her right now. No matter how much she hated him, she shouldn''t reject his help. In terms of exining the simr appearance of Ethan, she could improvise. Therefore, she raised her head and said gently, "I follow you, Mr. Barrett, if this can help me find Ethan." Her sudden obedience and soft voice attracted him deeply. When he felt the softy of her waist, he swallowed. The feeling that made him lose his head came again! It felt just the same as the time at night, in the toilet of the private box, when she touched him with her delicate hands to make him feel like he was in the sky. It might be idental to feel it once, but when feeling it twice¡­ Golden smiled slightly. He thought it worthy ofing here. Margery had no idea about what he was thinking, only noticing that he would nce at her sometimes when they were walking. She thought there was some dust on her face and rubbed it with her hand. Until he had nced at her so many times she finally realized what he was thinking and said in annoyance, "Mr. Barrett, are you here to help me or peek at me?" He smiled, "To help, and to appreciate you." Come on. Margery never knew that he was so shameless until now. She red at him with anger and hatred, thinking he didn''t worth her faithful love five years ago. At present, they were just doctor and patient, but he helped her as a strangedy so much and even flirted her by words. He was still the heartless Golden Barrett. Did he still remember Margery Byrne, who had waited for his love desperately and ended up dying in a raging fire? "Mr. Barrett, I have married, and have children." Margery smiled and stood back a few steps quickly. She got rid of the hand supporting her waist and stared at his face, "Now I hurry to find my lost son. If you are willing to help, I will be grateful, and my gratefulness is the only thing you can get." Her enchanting face looked so detached now, making her purer and more delicate, just like thedy vanished five years ago. Golden''s expression turned solemn and continued to walk without saying anything. He still had time. Sooner orter, he would discover her secret. Now that he stopped saying anything and it was impossible for Margery to talk to him, the atmosphere was quite awkward. In the silence, Margery suddenly heard a voice, clear but distant. Chapter 34 Pay You back in an Unforgettable Way Chapter 34 Pay You back in an Unforgettable Way "Mummy!" That faint call came into her ears through the forest gripped her attention. Hearing this, her pale face turned rosy gradually. She blinked and said in happiness, "Can you hear that? It''s Ethan! He is calling me!" "Yeah." Golden turned to stare at her joyful face under the moonlight. She had a delicate face, fair skin, scarlet lips, and watery eyes, upying all his attention. What attracted him most was her purity and detachment that made him feel familiar. Her face was different from Margery five years ago, but her unique temperament was identical. Margery didn''t know what he was thinking but she knew that Ethan was close to her. Her anxiety was reced by joy, giving her continuous power. She rushed by him and shouted, "Ethan, don''t worry, mummy is here!" After running for a long time, with the light from his torch, she could see a small silhouette in a pond. "Ethan!" "Mummy¡­" Ethan raised his little head with bruises and muds, while his hands were clenched, bearing the pain from cuts, "Mummy, I''m all right. Please don''t cry." "Sorry, mummy iste." She rushed to him with tears and crouched down on the muddy pond. When she found so many cuts from his face, neck, arms, and legs, she shivered, "Ethan¡­How did you get these cuts? Do you know I''m frightened when I can''t find you? Do you have anywhere else hurt?" "Mummy, I''m okay." Ethan pushed her hands away when she wanted to hug him, tightened his lips, and stood up with all the pains. He was standing straight, straighter than that he was injured before. "Good boy. Just don''t be reluctant to tell me where you hurt so mummy can take a look." She was still uneasy and bent down to check him from head to toe again and again. Making sure that there was no other injury, she took a look at his face with muds and bruises and couldn''t tell anything simr to Golden, which relieved her. Even Margery couldn''t recognize him covering with dirt, let alone Golden. Since Golden was still here, she felt sorry for no going to clean his face right now. "Are you tired or hungry, Ethan? Let''s go back to kindergarten to treat your injuries. Ms.Hall and Mr. Gray are worried about you." When she was about to hold him in her arms, Golden stopped her. He looked into Ethan''s eyes carefully while talking to Margery, "Don''t move him, his right leg has fractured." Meanwhile, Ethan raised his head and gave a cold nce at the wordy man. Golden raised his eyebrows at him, and Ethan''s expression looked more indifferent. It seemed like he was hostile to Ethan. He scrutinized his face for a while and recognized him as the boy who once shot some dirty water at him in the hospital somewhere in a southern city. Recalling that he was also the guy who incited all his ssmates to beat Layne up, he felt moreplicated. Now he knew Ethan disliked him and Layne. But why? Golden squinted. He was so eager to know more about the mysterious mother and son. "Ethan, let me take a look whether you have a fracture." Margery didn''t notice the confrontation between two men when she was ming herself. She was devoted to examine Ethan''s right leg, and found a swelling on his leg. It touched soft and could felt a small piece of bone in it. That must be extremely painful. But her tough boy was trying tofort her by saying he was fine. Looking at her son, she became tearful with a mixed feeling of pride and distress, "Sorry, Ethan. I don''t know you suffer so much¡­ Tell mummy, is there any other injury?" "That''s all, mummy," Ethan shook his head. But she couldn''t believe him and made another scrutiny on him, and felt relieved when she couldn''t find more. However, she still felt sorry for him. Unlike most of the kids who had the apany of their parents, he and Bonnie only had Margery. But she had severe burns to her skin and needed to take skin grafting frequently in the hospital, leaving her no time to take care of them. Bonnie was a na?ve girl who only cared about eating and fantasizing. She needed the protection of a man and made Ethan a tough guy who always held back his tears. ''Golden Barrett, don''t fancy that I will forgive you because of this.'' ''My hatred for you won''t fade away until death falls on one of us!'' Margery hugged Ethan carefully and realized he was in agony when she could feel him quivering. She couldn''t help but cry, "Sorry, Ethan. It''s my fault not taking care of you." "Don''t cry, mummy. I am fine." Ethan reached out his hand and wiped her tears with his cleanest finger. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. ¡­ Margery was so weary when they were walking down the mountain. She felt her legs were soft, but still insisted on holding Ethan and rejecting Golden''s assistance. "Thank you, Mr. Barrett. But I can hold my own kid." Golden didn''t put her bad manner in mind. He put his hand in the pocket and held the torch with another hand, and smiled, "Dr. Byrne, I help you find the kid. What''s my reward?" Margery ignored him. Going back to kindergarten, Margery put Ethan in her backseat of the car steadily and gave a fake smile to Golden, "Don''t worry, Mr. Barrett. I will pay you back in an unforgettable way." Chapter 35 Who Are You Chapter 35 Who Are You When Margery finished her words, she wouldn''t willing to spend more time with Golden and drove Ethan to the nearest hospital. She didn''t want Ethan to suffer any longer. "Ethan, take some food to fill your stomach first. When we arrive at the hospital I will find something delicious for you." Margery found some biscuits from the drawer and handed them to Ethan. Then she called Ms. Hall to tell her the situation when waiting for the green light. After she required a week''s vacation for Ethan and got the promise from Ms. Hall that she would try the best to take care of Bonnie, she hung up the phone coldly. She knew that Ms. Hall was contributed to Ethan''s escape. She also knew that Layne was the son of Golden and Vivian, and the principal and Ms. Hall had to punish Ethan due to their status. She wouldn''t reproach them because of this. But when Ethan ran into the hill and none of the teachers knew about it, she knew this was a sign of ipetence. If she couldn''t find Ethan in time, something more terrible had happened to Ethan. But in the end, Ms. Hall was still requiring her to apologize to Golden and Vivian by herself. That was ridiculous. She made a mockingugh and then nced at her son at the backseat, and said gently, "Hang in there, Ethan. We are almost there." "Good," the cool kid replied. ¡­ Margery scooped him up and walked into the orthopedic department of the hospital. The old doctor on duty was benevolent. He examined Ethan''s kneecap and nodded, "What a lucky boy. He only has a dislocated leg. That''s not a big deal." "That''s good." Margery sighed in relief. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Following the doctor''s advice, she ced Ethan on a treatment chair and got a basin filled with water. Then she took a piece of tissue, crouched by him, and cleaned his face and neck carefully. The old doctor was preparing tools to fix Ethan''s leg. He smiled at Margery and said, "You can have a little chat with him. To make a distraction, you know." "Sure." She was wondering how did his son convince all his ssmates to beat Layne. When she asked him, his face was turning red. It was surprising for her to see her son feel shy. She asked further, "Come on, just tell mummy. If you don''t want to tell me, I can turn to ask Bonnie. You know she tells me everything." Ethan turned his face away and remained silent. He was so cute that Margery felt her heart melted. It was the first time that he acted like a lovely child rather than a grown man. He wouldn''t say anything, and Margery wouldn''t push him, just cleaning his hands and telling some funny stories about him. After a while, she felt his body tautened and trembled, and then the doctor said, "It''s done. Staying in the hospital for observation for several days and he can be discharged. To be honest, he is the toughest boy I have ever seen." "Thank you." Margery was also proud of Ethan. She thanked the old doctor, brought Ethan to the ward with the help of the nurse, and ran to pay the fees and go through the admission procedures. She was so hurried that she didn''t notice that the ward was morefortable and gorgeous than the normal ward she had reserved. When she arrived at the booth and handed the medical notes to the nurse, the nurse gave it back to her and said, "The fees for a week''s VIP ward have been paid, Ms. Byrne." Margery was puzzled, "What''s going on? I haven''t booked a VIP ward, or paid the fees!" "But that''s what the system shows. There won''t be any mistake." "Well¡­Okay." Margery put things back into her bag and left in confusion. When she was about to walk into the elevator, she suddenly realized something and turned to look at the gate of the hall. Then she saw a tall figure walking down the stairs. She could see the back of the man, who had a strong body wrapped up by a tailored ck suit, walking away from her. That was Golden. It was he who paid all the fees. She ignored him when heading to the hospital. Once she thought he had left for home and stayed with Layne and Vivian, but the fact was, he followed her to the hospital unnoticeably and did all of that. Margery sneered. Did he think she would forgive him after he paid some costs for her? Could money bring back Ethan''s childhood or Andrew''s life? Margery''s heart softenedfor a minute, but soon returned to be cold. ¡­ Golden hopped into the car, winded down the window for an inch, and watched her through the slit. Then he saw her had an epiphany and looked in his direction. It seemed like she knew who did that for her. But there was no joy in her face, but only sorrow and hatred. Her grudges were so strong that he could feel them in the car. She hated him to the core. There was only one woman that could hate him so much. That was Margery. But Margery had already passed away five years ago. And now thisdy had the same name as her, but with a different face. "Who are you, Dr. Byrne?" He withdrew his gaze,id down on the seat, and looked at the ceiling of the car. Now his mind was upied by two emotions, excitement and depression. He sat on the seat for hours and hours. Golden, having been expressionless for a long time, suddenly moved. He took his phone and made a call, "Give me everything about Margery Byrne from Bok Hospital. Everything! Right now!" Chapter 36 Get away with It Chapter 36 Get away with It Margery was with Ethan the whole night, and now she was wiping for him. Ethan was so painful that he was in a cold sweat. When the day broke, he stopped trembling and drifted off to sleep. Margery bent down and touched his splinted right leg. It seemed less swollen than yesterday. She felt rxed and breathed a sigh of relief. After a sleepless night, she was worn out. However, knowing that her son''s breathing had returned to a steady state, and his bruised face was slowly ruddy, she felt it was worth it. The doctor told him to eat some light food, so Margery went to buy some light porridge for him, and then bought a new set of clothes for him. But when she left, Ethan was left alone in the room, and she didn''t feel easy. Margery wanted to ask a nurse to look after him. Before she left, she looked down at her son, gave him a gentle kiss on his swollen cheek, and walked out. Opening the door of the ward, Margery caught a glimpse of a cold figure standing at the door and looked down at her. He was in ck messy suit and trousers, but it did not affect his handsome and charming temperament at all. On the contrary, it added a bit more unruly and wanton air to him. Margery was taken aback, but soon calmed down. She sneered with a cold face. "Mr. Barrett, what are you doing here in the early morning?" He seemed to be here for a whole night!? What was wrong with him? Margery felt strange. Mr. Barrett looked at her from head to toe. "Melvin didn''t show up to the hospital all night to see the kid. Has he been doing this to you?" asked the man. Although he tried to restrain himself, Margery could detect a hint of anger from his taut body and thin, deep-pressed lips. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Why was he mad at Melvin noting to see Ethan? What qualifications did he have to be angry? Margery wanted tough. She looked up and smiled, "This is my family business, not yours! Mr. Barrett, you go too far." Ethan deliberately called Melvin ''Dad'' in the hall of the hospital building where she had stic surgery. Mr. Barrett mistakenly thought that Melvin was Ethan''s father and her husband... This was a beautiful misunderstanding. Let him be mistaken. She had never tried to exin anything to him. That Margery who had loved him so crazily that she was even willing to die for him had died in the fierce fire, and would nevere back. Margery put on a cold smile, and the coldness swept over her eyes. "I hope Mr. Barrett will note to me anymore, except for the treatment. I''m married, Mr. Barrett." "Is that how you treat the man who found your son?" "Dr. Byrne, isn''t it you who pretended to be drunk and groped me in the washroom?" Golden smiled lightly. Suddenly, he looked stern and pinched her jaw, looking at her like a beast looking at its prey. "Didn''t you dial the wrong number on purpose to get me hookedst night? I have no interest in you, but you actively flirt with me, arouse my interest in you. And now you want to retreat, telling me that you are married? It''s toote. In H City, there is nothing I dare not do, only the things that I don''t want to do!" And with that he bent his head over her soft red lips and kissed her fiercely. He had wanted to do it since the moment he had held her limp waistst night. Since she wanted to flirt with him, he would like to y with her! The soft lips made Golden feel shocked. Her face waspletely different from Margery''s, but her lips made him feel the same pleasure he felt on Margery''s lips five years ago. "How shameful you are! Get away!" Golden kissed her and she couldn''t get rid of him, which made her feel disgusting. Without thinking too much, she raised her hand and pped ruthlessly in his face. Margery was furious, using all her strength. Her hand, high in the air, trembled with pain. She hated him so much that she looked at him coldly. "Mr. Barrett, you think too highly of yourself! I have someone to love and I have a cute kid. Why would I hit on you? Perhaps in your life there are a lot of women with ulterior motives. But I am not interested in you. Just because you''re powerful in H City doesn''t mean you can do everything at your will. If you continue insulting me, I will call the police. Don''t me me for being rude to you." "Do you think I will be interested in any woman?" Golden did not dodge her p. He turned his stern face slowly and stared at her angry eyes. His face darkened, and he felt all kinds ofplicated emotions flooded his mind. "You gave me a sense of familiarity. I couldn''t resist the impulse. Can''t I figure out who you are?" She was caught off guard, and was forced to be kissed. In the end, it was her fault! Five years ago, he was so hard and cold. No matter what he did, she was always wrong. Five yearster, he was still the same. "Is it?" Margery pushed him away, with unspeakable ridicule and sadness in her heart. "Mr. Barrett, you are the most powerful man of H City. To deal with me is as easy as to kill an ant. Should I be grateful that you just want to figure me out, rather than to kill me?" "Do you have to distort my intention?" Golden gave her a sullen re. Staring at his cold face, Margery''s hatred for him deepened. Raising her face, she sneered in a cold tone, "Mr. Barrett, you flirted with me, insulted me, and you expect me to be grateful to you? Are you trying to insult me, or to insult your good and innocent Vivian?" Thest words fell in Golden''s ear, causing him to freeze slightly. He had heard the same thing five years before. On that dreary evening in the bedroom, he was half mocking Margery, half sneering, saying she was the most hypocritical woman he had ever met! Every word that came to her ear was like a sharp knife. Then how about Margery? Now, five yearster, her reaction to what he had said was still vivid and ran through his mind night after night. At that moment, she trembled with agony. After staring at him for a long, long time, sheughed softly. Tearsing out of her eyes, she said ''Vivian was kind and innocent'', and she wished him and Vivian a happy marriage and grew old together. At that time, he hated her, and did not care about her, nor did he pay attention to how painful she was when she said these words. Later, she died in the car fire. Only at that moment did he realize what he had lost. The woman that he had lost, over the years, had be the painful memory. Golden lowered his eyes and looked at the angry woman. The past memories came to his mind. "Margery, is that you?" Chapter 37 Suffer from What You Have Done Chapter 37 Suffer from What You Have Done "Mr. Barrett, I don''t know what you''re talking about. I still have my business to attend to." Margery''s eyes were cold. She didn''t want to waste time on Golden. She walked past him and went to the nurse station. Knowing that Margery booked a VIP luxurious ward, the head nurse was very enthusiastic, "Ms. Byrne, don''t worry. I will immediately ask a nurse to take care of your child." "Thanks." Margery felt that behind her, someone was staring at her back, which made her feel oppressive. She was very clear who was staring at her. But she did not want to look back at him, and just walked straight on. *** Behind Margery, Golden narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at her graceful figure in the thin blouse, deep in thought. After a long time, he pushed open the door and stepped inside. Golden took a few steps closer to the bed, and looked into the big limpid eyes of the little boy in the bed. Seeing that it was Golden who came in, the little guy, with a cold, bruised face, looked rather disinterested. Looking at the cool little boy in front of him, Golden''s stern face softened, "I''m Layne''s father. I have something to ask you." Ethan pursed his pink lips, and kept silent. His little hands clenched together under the bed. When he woke up, Mommy was gone, and this bully who made Mommy cry for days and years came in and said he had something to ask him. ''Well, go ahead!'' He wouldn''t tell the bully a word of the truth anyway. Golden narrowed his eyes. "Is Melvin your father?" he asked. Ethan didn''t answer, just nodded coolly. "Then why is your surname Byrne but not Collins?" "My father said he once had a best friend whose surname was Byrne, but she died a tragic death, and he missed her so much that he found Mummy who had the same name as his best friend and gave birth to me and my sister, so our surname name is Byrne." All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Golden could see no sign of a lie in Ethan''s pretty eyes. He narrowed his long eyes, didn''t believe it, but had to believe it. A four-or five-year-old child, the same age as Layne, was naive, and would not lie. He was hoping that Margery hade back from the dead. Golden closed his eyes to calm himself down. Just as he turned to leave, the door was open. Melvin, with big two ck circles, rushed in. He was shocked to see Golden here and wanted to call his names. But out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Ethan who looked sullen and call him, ''Dad''. And then, Melvin immediately went over and poked at the little guy''s bruised cheeks. "Dear, you just hit some boy. How could you make yourself so ugly for a trifle? Does it hurt? Come, let me check it!" He was partying in the barst night and didn''t even know his phone was power off, so he missed Margery''s call for help. When he wanted to buy breakfast this morning, he found that the power had run out and it automatically shut off. When he borrowed a charger and turned on the phone, he received a voice message from Margery, and rushed to the hospital. He didn''t expect that Golden was in the hospital too. Golden must try to get something from Ethan. How wicked the man was! Luckily, Ethan was so smart that he called Melvin "Daddy" to remind him of his identity. Melvin wouldn''t let it go until he discouraged Golden! "Baby,e, call me again." Melvin grinned wildly, and felt pleased to see Golden''s face was cold. He was now as cool as having an ice cream in the hot summer days. Ethan was speechless. He turned his face away and said nothing. He put up with Uncle Melvin every time he hangs around. Luckily, Melvin was not really his dad. And he just needed to act for a while. Melvin did the whole act and apanied Ethan through the father-son drama. Then he stood up and walked over to Golden with the stern face. He raised his eyebrows and mocked, "Golden, why are you here instead of staying with your beloved woman and your son?" Hearing that, Ethan clenched his fists under the cover, and his face became colder. Golden dropped his cigarette butt into the garbage bin, raised his eyes and looked at Melvin, who was challenging him. He smiled lightly and said, "Ethan disappeared yesterday afternoon. As his father, where were you?" Oh, gosh! Melvin, stunned by the question, coughed furiously and growled angrily, "Where was I? It''s none of your business. Golden, mind your own business. Don''t poke your nose into others'' affairs. Margery died miserably, and do you think I''ll thank you for helping me get Ethan back? I''ll never get over what you did to Margery! I will never forgive what you have done, nor would Margery!" "Damn, what are you looking at me for? I''m talking about Margery now, not the innocent woman of five years ago. She''s dead. She''s dead." Melvin red at Golden, frowning. He was sick of seeing him here. When Margery was with him, he didn''t cherish her, and when he lost her, he felt regretful. He deserved it! What Melvin said was harsh, but reasonable, which upset Golden. After a long pause, Golden turned round and left. *** When Golden left, Melvin rushed to lock the door and then rushed back to Ethan. "Ethan, you did a great job. Tell Uncle Melvin, what did you do to get the ss to beat Layne?" Ethan didn''t want to tell him when he looked at Melvin''s cheeky smile. "You don''t want to tell me? Well, I wille up with the ultimate killer." Melvin quickly took his cell phone out of his trouser pocket and flipped to the photo album. He found out a picture of Ethan of a few months old and naked and said, "See? If you don''t tell me, I will send these photos to thework, let all the people see you naked. Gee, you were so fat and lovely, just like a beautiful little girl." "I''ll let you know if you delete the picture," Ethan frowned. "No, you tell me first! I havepeted with you many times over the years, but I have never beaten you." Melvin was very helpless, and felt sad for himself. In the end, Ethan said unwillingly, "The condition is that the girls can hold my hand and the boys can talk to Bonnie." In kindergarten, with him around, none of the boys could get close to Bonnie, except Layne. When he didn''t agree, Bonnie would burst into tears, crying her heart out. He was the older brother, and he didn''t want to hurt her any more than he wanted to hurt Mommy, so he agreed. But Bonnie didn''t spend much time with him in kindergarten because she was with Layne, which was one of the reasons he wanted to beat Layne up. "Shit, Ethan. You''re amazing. You are more promising than me." Melvinughed his head off. With such a clever mind, he was worthy of being the son of Golden. No wonder when he fooled Golden, he could be so calm. "Ethan, what did you say to Golden? Tell me the truth, or I''ll send out your naked pictures." Ethan red at him coldly, but couldn''t help it because he wasn''t convenient to walk, so he told him what he had said to Golden. What Ethan said sent Melvin into fits ofughter. Suddenly, someone opened the door and went in. Chapter 38 Are You Sure to Treat Him Like That Chapter 38 Are You Sure to Treat Him Like That Margery walked in with two bulging bags in her hands and saw Melvin grin like a fool. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you so happy about?" "Margery, it is so funny. Ethan and I just ganged up on Golden. I was so happy that we discouraged him!" Melvin helped her to pick the things out from the bags. They were all for Ethan. Suddenly, he remembered something, frowning nervously. "Margery, when you came in, did you see that damn jerk Golden outside?" Margery held the nutritious millet porridge in her hands and went to the bed. She squatted down, feeding Ethan the porridge carefully, while replying to Melvin, "No, what''s wrong?" "Well, I''m d I didn''t see it. That means he didn''t hear what I said to Ethan." Melvin pped his hand on his forehead and wiped away the cold sweat in a dramatic way. And then he told Margery what Ethan had said to Golden. After that, he gave a thumbs-up to Ethan with a smiling face and said, "Gee, I am now a little sympathy for Golden for having such a son." "Melvin, whose side are you on?" Margery was little angry,ining that she couldn''t get in touch with himst night, so Golden took advantage of her and hugged and kissed her forcibly. Until now, she still felt a little sick. "I stand you, of course!" Melvin immediately said. Ethan kept a cool face and kept silent as he ate his porridge. asionally he raised his big dark eyes and looked at Melvin, so sharp that it was not like a four-year- old child. Melvin was terrified and quickly took out his phone and found Ethan''s naked photos, and deleted it reluctantly. "Ethan, I have... I have deleted them all. I didn''t lie to you, and I dare not lie to you." Melvin looked sincere, and almost wanted to swear. Ethan nodded coolly. "Melvin, what''s wrong with you two?" Margery was puzzled looking at them. "No, nothing happened between me and Ethan! I can''t stand the smell of alcohol on myself after spending the whole night in bar, so I''ll go home, take a shower and get some sleep. Then I''lle back to the hospital to see Ethanter." After that, Melvin was about to leave, but Margery stopped him. "Melvin, wait a minute, I just need your help with something," said Margery. "Yes. What''s it? If I can do it, I will try my best, even I will risk my life." Margery red at him. "It''s not that serious." After feeding Ethan the delicious rice porridge, Margery cleaned his face and put him in clean clothes. And then, she took Melvin to the corridor and told him what she needed him to do in a whisper. "Margery, are you sure you want to do this to Golden?" Melvinughed out loud. "Not exactly to deal with him, but to treat him." "He spent 3 million in my hospital to cure his physical sickness. A period of the treatmentsted ten days to half a month. I bet him that he would have to pay me another 5 million and call a press conference to apologize to me if I could cure his illness." After hearing her exnation, Melvin immediately understood what she meant. He brushed his messy hair and smiled with amusement. "All right, I got it. That would be an experience Golden would never forget in his life." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Margery chuckled. "That''s what I told him." "It means we think alike! If we work together, plus Ethan''s assistance, I don''t believe we can''t deal with Golden," Melvin smiled. "Leave it to me. Bye-bye!" Margery felt speechless, "Bye!" *** When Golden left Ethan''s room, he went back to his car and lit a cigarette. He looked sullen now and emitted cold aura. Ethan''s words kept lingering in his mind. A four-year-old child was still naive, and he did not know how to lie. "My father said he once had a best friend whose surname was Byrne, but she died a tragic death, and he missed her so much that he found Mummy who had the same name as his best friend and gave birth to me and my sister, so our surname name is Byrne." His father was Melvin. Melvin''s best friend, whose surname name was Byrne, was Margery of five years ago. When Margery died, Melvin missed her, so he found Dr. Byrne, who had the same name as Margery, and then gave birth to Ethan and his sister. It sounded perfectly reasonable. But the more perfect it was, the more problematic it was. After he forcibly kissed Margery, her attitude toward him was with extreme dislike mixed with hatred. He was sure he had never done her any harm. So where did her hatred for hime from? Unless... She was the Margery five years ago, or, Margery''s friend who wanted to defend Margery. He was more inclined to the former because of his keen intuition. Well, since she wanted to flirt with him, he would y with her! Sooner orter, he would discover her mystery. After a long time, Golden took thest drag of a cigarette and smiled. His long fingers gave a sudden force, and the cigarette butts shattered into powder in his hands. *** Half an hourter, Golden showed up in Layne''s room. Layne had woken up. His face was ruddy, and he seemed to be taken good care of. Looking down, he saw Vivian, who looked so haggard, half lying on the bed. Her thin white hands were stiff, maintaining the position of covering Layne with a quilt. Golden''s heart softened. Layne was so happy to see Golden when he just opened his eyes. "Ethan beat you; don''t you want to fight back?" asked Golden in a low voice. "No." Layne frowned and shook his head, "In kindergarten, no one wants to y with me, except his sister Bonnie, my best friend. Ethan is half my friend. If I fight back, Bonnie will be angry and she might not want to y with me anymore. By then I won''t have a friend! I want to have good friends. I don''t want to y alone, eat alone, and sleep alone." After hearing that, Golden felt a little sad and nodded, "Fine." Then he caressed the little fellow''s thin face and told him to have a rest. Looking at Vivian''s gaunt face, he gracefully took off his suit and ced it gently over her. Chapter 39 To Wake up to the Reality Chapter 39 To Wake up to the Reality Vivian did not sleep peacefully. She pretended to sleep when she heard Golden entering the room, and kept her hands in the position of covering Layne with a quilt. At this moment, she felt that he put his clothes on her shoulders, and she felt sweet, pretending to be awakened and looked up at him tenderly. "Golden, you have finished your work? Have you had dinner?" She was always gentle and elegant in front of him, and always maintained a perfect look. Golden stared into her gentle face and said slowly, "Layne''s sleeping. Let''s go out and talk." If Margery is the Margery five years ago, there was something he must get rid of as soon as possible! Vivian was slightly stunned. She did not know why Golden was anxious to talk to her. Her intuition told her that it was not something good, but in order to maintain her gentle image, she walked out of the ward with Golden. *** In a quiet corner of the corridor. With narrowed eyes and long fingers holding a freshly lit cigarette, Golden''s handsome silhouette was shrouded in smoke. He was more and more charming and fascinated numerous women. Touching his perfect face, Vivian''s heart beat faster. "Golden, what do you want to talk about?" Was he going to talk what she was most willing to hear? For five years, she had taken care of Layne with all her heart, including what she had pretended to do just now. He was so touched by her gentleness that he finally decided to marry her and let her be Mrs. Barrett? Thinking of this, Vivian raised her soft face, filled with joy. The next second, what the man said also sent her into the abyss, while the joy was still on her face. She heard him say, in a low, cruel voice, "Vivian, from tomorrow on, please leave me!" It was totally different from what she had in mind. It was more than she could imagine and more than she could bear. Vivian felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, overwhelmed by the pain. She shook her head in disbelief. "Golden, what did you say? I''m sorry. What did you just say? I didn''t catch you. I beg your pardon?" Golden frowned and patiently repeated, "Vivian, from tomorrow on, please leave me!" Vivian could not stand it any longer and flung herself into his arms, her lips trembling and tears streaming down her face. "Why? Golden, why do you want me to go?" Seeing that she was so sad and couldn''t ept it, Golden sighed softly with a cigarette in his hand and said, "My disease is incurable. I should not dy you for a lifetime." "No! I won''t go. I won''t leave you!" Vivian raised her eyes and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Golden, I love you. I fell in love with you ever when you put that piece of jade on my neck by theke in the park twenty-five years ago. I love no one but you, and now you ask me to leave you. It''s killing me." Her affectionate sobbing made Golden''s heart ache. After a few seconds, he closed his eyes, collected his sense, and then said, "It''s been five years. I have tried all the methods to cure my disease, but failed. Because you love me, I can''t hurt you for selfish gains." "No, it isn''t! Golden, it won''t hurt me to stay with you! To push me away from you and never have you again is what really hurts me. Golden, I can''t live without you, and I can''t lose you! I have loved you for more than twenty years. I can''t let you go. Will you stop talking about it? My heart is aching, and I feel painful!" Vivian blinked her eyes and tears flowed out, but she smiled softly at the man. "Golden, haven''t you started your treatment now? Maybe Dr. Byrne at Bok Hospital can cure it? Please, don''t ask me to leave you so soon." "You know who I am. When I make up my mind, I won''t change it! I will give you half a month to ept it." Golden felt a little sad when he saw she was crying her heart out, but soon, he collected his sense. Quick decision was the best way to deal with the matter. Vivian''s heart trembled. She realized that he was determined to let her go, but she didn''t know why. She was mad inside, but still with a smile on her face. She changed the subject, "Golden, I''m hungry, can you have breakfast with me first? Let''s talk about thatter." "Well." Golden nodded. Considering that she had taken good care of Layne over the years, he wasn''t going to push her too hard. He turned and went back to the ward, found a nurse to take care of Layne, and then went out with Vivian. Vivian followed the cold man out, and the smile on her lips gradually faded into a sullen sneer. After Margery''s death, he had tacitly acknowledged her existence for Layne''s sake for the past five years. Except that he had no feeling for her and didn''t sleep with her, he treated her with the same affection as before. He also turned a blind eye to her asional impersonation of Mrs. Barrett. When, then, did he decide to let her go? Vivian frowned thoughtfully. After thinking about it, it urred to her that the only woman Golden had been in contact with during this period was Dr. Byrne from Bok Hospital. After five years of estranging from any woman, he was enchanted by Dr. Byrne after receiving treatment in the Bok Hospital. He was even so captivated by her that he told her to leave. It was Dr. Byrne who should be to me for what had happened. Why? Why did the woman do that, forcing Golden to break up with her? Vivian was shaking with anger. *** In an elegant restaurant. Golden found the quietest ce, ordered shrimp soup buns, tuna sandwiches, crystal dumplings, and other delicate snacks that Vivian loved. He took his time to apany her. Looking at the beautifully colored breakfasts, Vivian felt painful again. "Golden, I will think about what you have said. You give me only half a month to ept it. When the timees, I can no longer apany you. Thinking of leaving you, I feel my heart ache. Would you give me onest kiss before you leave? Just as the... thest affection!" Golden narrowed his eyes and stared at her gaunt, pale but still beautiful face. He did not nod or refuse. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Just when Vivian''s red lips were about to touch his, Golden suddenly remembered Margery''s hand pping him hard. He suddenly shook and turned his face away from her lips. The missing kiss left Vivian lost, but not disappointed. When he was not paying attention, she had fixed the phone in the best position to take the picture. The angles were pretty tricky. It looked like they were kissing each other affectionately., With these photos and videos in hand, it was enough for Dr. Byrne to realize the reality! Chapter 40 She Was Charming Enough Chapter 40 She Was Charming Enough For several days, Margery was busy taking care of Ethan in the hospital, and she had to discuss various treatment ns tailored to Golden with Dr. Lee. She was so busy with work and Ethan that she didn''t know she was targeted by Vivian. This morning, Margery bent her head and put her hands on Ethan''s thin waist to help him start a rehabilitation exercise, mainly on his injured right leg. "Mommy, don''t help me. I can do it myself." Ethan looked cool and tried to push Margery away. The little man felt ashamed to be helped along by his Mommy. Margery had worked so hard to bring him up. When his face puckered, she knew what he was thinking. She squeezed his arm tenderly and smiled. "Does Ethan feel ashamed? It''s okay, Mommy is helping you to walk now just to make you recover faster! Don''t worry, I will not help you when your wounded leg is healed." "All right." Ethan nodded dully. He couldn''t go far without Mammy''s help, so he would have to leave it as it was. The little boy looked up and saw the sweat on Margery''s forehead. He pressed his lips and walked faster on his right leg, pretending that he needn''t need help. "You''ve exercised for about 40 minutes and stick to it." Ethan shook his head and held out his small hand slowly. Margery was so tired that she took a deep breath and said, "Ethan, do you feel tired? Let''s call it a day and continue tomorrow." "I''m not tired, Mommy. I can continue." He pushed Margery away and stood on the edge of the bed, dragging his aching right leg to move forward inch by inch. He needed to get recovered faster so he could protect Mommy and Bonnie. Seeing that he was so insistent, Margery signed but didn''t stop him. At this time, the phone on the bedside table rang. It was from Melvin. She picked it up immediately while taking out a few pieces of paper towels to wipe the sweat on her forehead. Melvinughed, "Margery, I have arranged for what you asked me to do. I have found dozens of beautiful girls with good shapes. They are all charming and good at singing and dancing, and even drinking. When do you have time to check it? Leave those who you think are fine and then weed out the ones you don''t like." "Melvin, how amazing you are finishing it so quickly!" Margery raised her eyebrows in surprise, and smiled. "I just finished training for Ethan at the hospital. I have to go to Bok Hospitalter, and I''ll get back to you." "All right, all right! I will wait for you." Suddenly a charming and coquettish voice came from the side of Melvin, which both men and women couldn''t stand. Margery''s hand trembled and she quickly hung up the phone. Maybe the women he found were really charming. That charming voice alone would turn a man on, not to mention that they were all in good shape. Margery didn''t believe that Golden wouldn''t be aroused. If only he could have some reaction, she would be able to suit her methods to his illness. "Ethan, Mommy has to go to Bok Hospital. Be good when you are alone. The nurse wille in and take care of youter. If you want to go to the bathroom, tell the nurse." "I know, Mommy, bye-bye." Ethan was used to Margery''s busyness. Seeing that she was carrying her bag and went out, he waved his hand at her like a little gentleman, but kept a cool posture. "Ethan, bye-bye, Mommy loves you." Margery looked back and smiled as she looked at the little guy who remained cool even his leg was painful. In a good mood, Margery got into the car, turned right and headed for Bok Hospital. *** At the same time. Vivian walked into the hall of Bok Hospital with leather bag of thetest limited edition. She wore a delicate makeup, and she was noble from head to toe. But she could hardly hide the haggard look under her eyes, and the vague rage. Head on, a nice-looking medical staff wearing a white coat came over, holding a stack of information. Vivian stopped and nced gently at the name card. The card wrote ''Z White'' in ck characters on white background, looking very neat. An idea hit on her mind. Vivian walked over and asked softly, "Hello, Miss White. Is Dr. Byrne here?" Z did not respond at first, only staring at the beautiful woman in front of her. After a while, she recognized the woman as Vivian, the first socialite of H City. Z was so excited that she spoke incoherently, "Ms. Martin, how did youe here? Are you looking for Margery? She''s not here yet! Her son had an ident in the kindergarten a few days ago and she is taking care of her son in the hospital near the kindergarten. She will be hereter. Oh, she came here after ten o''clock yesterday, and I reckon she will be here about ten o''clock." The name ''Margery'' made Vivian tremble. She clenched her white and tender fingers, and her sharp nails pierced the tender flesh of her palm, causing her to feel a prickling pain. She raised an elegant smile and asked calmly, "Dr. Byrne''s name is Margery? Does it spell M-A-R-G-E-R-Y?" All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. "Yes, it''s a nice name, right? I have always loved her name. She is as beautiful as her name is. But..." Z shook her head and kept sighing. "What''s wrong?" Vivian smiled softly, but she red up in heart. "Her face! Margery has apletely different face. Although she is more beautiful, she lost the gentle beauty... Oh, Ms. Martin, I''m sorry for talking too much." If Z continued, she would reveal Margery''s personal privacy, so she hurriedly closed her mouth. "It doesn''t matter." Vivian was calm on the surface, but she suppressed the anger in her heart. So that was it. No wonder Golden would be enchanted by her! No wonder Golden would break up with her this morning. But Margery had already died five years ago. Who the Margery in Bok Hospital was? Vivian suddenly felt chilly. She felt chilly by the news and she was petrified like a cold statue. "Youe to look for Margery, right? She hasn''te yet. I''ll take you to her office first." Z was hospitable. Vivian smiled and nodded. "Great, thank you." An evil light shed across her eyes! Chapter 41 He Doesnt Really Love You Chapter 41 He Doesn''t Really Love You As Z expected, Margery arrived at Bok Hospital at almost 10:30. She pushed open the ss door and walked into the small but cozy service hall. Z rushed over from the corner with a smile on her face, "Margery, why did you juste here? Are Ethan''s legs any better? You know what? Vivian is here. She is worthy of being the firstdy of H City, and she is very elegant and beautiful. Even I almost fall in love with her!" "Margery, she was anxious looking for you, so I took her to your office." Margery listened to Z''s gabbling, and kept smiling. When she heard that, she was shocked, "What? You brought her to my office? Why did you bring her into my office? I''m not here yet." She steadied herself and immediately thought about what she had left in the office. She was relieved that she didn''t leave any important information and credentials in the office. "I''m sorry, Z, I''m in a bad mood because I''m stressed recently, and I lost my temper." "It''s okay. I know you''ve been worrying about Ethan these days and you are under great pressure." Z didn''t take that to her heart and asked curiously, "Margery, you agreed with me to bring patients to the office to wait for you before. Why can''t I bring Vivian to your office?" "I know her, and we''ve had an old grudge." Margery calmed herself down and suddenly remembered that Z was outspoken. She stared at her, anxiously asking, "Z, after Vivian arrived, did you say anything to her?" Z, aware that she may have gotten Margery into trouble, lowered her head and said, "I''m sorry, Margery. I told her about your having a stic surgery." Margery was speechless. She really wanted to stick this girl''s mouth with adhesive tape. "Margery, I made a mistake. Don''t be angry! I won''t be so talkative next time." Z shrank. Seeing that Margery was angry, and seemed to scold her, Z ran away immediately. Staring at her receding back, Margery gritted her teeth and wanted to match Z with Melvin. *** After standing in the office for a few minutes and taking deep breaths, Margery calmed herself down, then slowly opened the door and walked in. Vivian was in there, and she had learned from Z and knew that she had a stic surgery and had given birth to children. With so much informationbining together, she wondered what Vivian would think. Forget it. Just roll with the punches. Knowing that she did not die, the one who should be afraid of was her cousin. Thinking in this way, Margery smiled and walked in. She saw Vivian sitting on the small sofa not far from her desk, looking down to read the fashion magazines in her hands. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she raised her head gracefully and smiled, "Dr. Byrne, here you are." Margery knew that Vivian had some doubts about her identity, but she was not going to reveal her true identity right now because Vivian hadn''t had enough evidence. At least, it was not the right time to reveal Dr. Byrne''s identity. Since her cousin liked acting, Margery didn''t mind acting with her. After all, she had been dead once. What was she afraid of? Margery walked over to Vivian and calmly looked at her fluttered eyes. Margery knew that Vivian was not as calm and elegant as she seemed to be and she couldn''t help but smile, "Ms. Martin, you came to see me today for Mr. Barrett''s illness or for your own skin care treatment?" Vivian grabbed tightly the fashion magazine and looked back at Margery. "Skin care is not important for the moment," she said with a smile. "I just want to know about Golden''s condition, so Ie here to ask you about it." While speaking, she looked at Margery''s eyes carefully. They were charming but had a trace of disgust in them. Why didn''t she see itst time? Vivian was furious and wanted to tear Margery up immediately. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. However, she couldn''t believe that Margery of five years ago coulde back to life. She couldn''t do anything more until she had sound proof. Golden was no longer the one who had loved her. Then Vivian took her phone out of her purse and input the password to open the screen. She showed her phone to Margery and said, "Oh, I don''t think I have Dr. Byrne''s contact number yet, so let''s add it to each other." "Fine! As for Mr. Barrett''s illness, there is no improvement for the moment." Margery took out the phone from her handbag. As she looked down, her eyesnded on Vivian''s brightly lit screen. The light was a little dazzling. Margery blinked a few times and she saw the photo on the screen. In a quiet restaurant with romantic lights, a handsome man and a beautiful woman were kissing each other. Margery figured it out that they were Golden and Vivian. Golden lowered his eyes and allowed Vivian to kiss him. What a sweet couple. Even a blind man could feel how sweet they were. The happier they were, the sadder the ex-wife was, who had been cruelly abandoned by Golden. Margery felt numb and disgusted for a moment. She moved her eyelids very slowly and smiled vaguely. "Ms. Martin, could you tell me your mobile phone number and I''ll add it to my address book?" "No hurry." Vivian was holding the phone in her hand and staring at Margery. Margery was a bit messy when she saw the photo. Vivian was more confident in her guessing and said, "Dr. Byrne, did you see the photo on my screen? What do you think about it? He is busy with work in hispany, but he still spared time with me to have breakfast this morning. When he was in the mood, he insisted on giving me a farewell kiss! How sweet he was and how romantic the atmosphere was. I couldn''t help but take a photo and saved it. As long as I see the picture, I can feel Golden''s love for me." Margery didn''t expect that Golden kissed her after he kissed Vivian, which made Margery feel so disgusted. "Ms. Martin, to tell you the truth, Mr. Barrett is sick. Even if he cares about you, it is not true love," smiled Margery. Vivian was angry to hear that. ''Whether she is the Margery five years ago or not, I have to be on the alert.'' thought Vivian. Vivian''s darkly sharp eyes fell on Margery. "Dr. Byrne, you''re wrong. When Golden is cured, everything will be mine and he won''t run away, right? Sorry, I forgot that I have saved your phone numberst time." "As for the skin care treatment... Maybe next time. I have something else to do." Vivian just took the 1 million she gave Margery as a free gift. Anyway, she wouldn''t continue to have skin care treatment in this hospital. She was afraid that Margery would do something against her. When she got what she wanted, Vivian did not stay. With coldness in her eyes, she stood up from the sofa and left with her bag gracefully. After walking out of the Bok Hospital, Vivian got on the car and stared at the gate of the Bok Hospital with a cold face, waiting silently. She wanted to see what this woman with the same name as Margery five years ago wanted to do when she approached Golden. At 12:30 a.m., Vivian saw Margery get out of the hospital and get into a silver car. Vivian drove out of the parking lot, and followed her. Chapter 42 Shocking Scene Chapter 42 Shocking Scene Vivian was so terrified that she stepped back two steps and retreated to the corner. Her pretty face was tinged with paleness and astonishment. She had been following behind Margery all the way. When they got to the nearest hospital to Layne''s kindergarten, she watched Margery walk into a VIP room, where she helped out a little boy with a ster tablet on his right leg. The little boy was beautiful and... It was Ethan, who looked exactly like Golden and instigated the whole ss to beat Layne up. To Vivian''s horror, Ethan called Margery Mommy, and Margery happily responded. It turned out that Ethan was Margery''s son. Vivian looked at the shocking scene as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight. ''Cousin, not only has your face changed, but your temper, too. No wonder I didn''t know you were just Margery at first.'' Vivian muttered grimly, feeling herself in the cold, chilly from head to foot. With disbelief, fear and guilt, she stared at the smiling woman in the hallway. She was not dead? How on earth did she survive the huge fire five years ago? Not only had she survived, but she also gave birth to Ethan, and a daughter named Bonnie, who had just entered top kindergarten for less than two months. So, Margery didn''t die in the fire five years ago, and gave birth to twins? Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. If Margery was alive, why hadn''t she contacted Golden in five years? Why did she suddenly be a doctor in Bok Hospital for curing men''s disease, and she deluded her into doing skin care treatment in Bok Hospital? These projects, it now seemed, were clearly aimed at Golden and her. Was Margery going back to H City this time to get back at Golden and Vivian? After Margery died five years ago, Golden''s heart seemed to be dead with her, and he was not interested in Vivian or any other woman. Now, a woman who seemed to be Margery rekindled his passion. No wonder he wanted to break up with Vivian and only gave her half a month to think about it. He might be doubting the true identity of this Margery. Vivian, soaked in cold sweat, leaned weakly against the wall. Her fingers clutched the strap of her purse and she tried hard to calm herself down. "Golden, you''re so anxious to drive me away just to make room for Margery, aren''t you? Fine! I''ll make a ce for her, and I wonder if she can enjoy it!" Vivian raised her lips evilly, and a vicious light shed in her eyes. ''Margery, so what if you cane back from the dead and change to a prettier face? If I could almost kill you once, I will do the same until you die. You''re never going to defeat me! Never!'' thought Vivian. *** Margery helped Ethan to do leg rehabilitation training back and forth in the corridor. From time to time, she felt a cold winding over, which made her feel ufortable. Suddenly she looked back, there was no one in the corridor. No one was peeping at her at all. Perhaps there were many things happeningtely which rendered her too nervous. Margery shook her head and smiled sarcastically. She continued to train with Ethan for more than ten minutes. Seeing the little boy sweating heavily and gritting his teeth, she felt a little distressed. She walked in the ward and came out with a clean towel to wipe his face. "Don''t you want to have a rest? I can hear your stomach rumble." He was silent and didn''t say anything, but heard what Margery said, he retorted, "I didn''t, Mommy, you must have misheard it." "All right, all right, it was Mommy''s stomach that rumbled, and Mommy misheard it." Facing the proud son, Margery pulled a wry face. She held him slowly to the ward. "Mummy''s been busy the whole morning and I am hungry. Would you like to have lunch with Mummy?" Ethan raised his head and looked at Margery with a big smile on her face. He pressed his lips with resignation and said, "After lunch with Mommy, I will continue to exercise." Margery was helpless. *** Half an hourter, Margery apanied her son to have a delicious lunch and headed to the kindergarten with two bags of stuffs. Compared with Ethan, who was smart, disciplined and not picky about what he ate, Bonnie waszy and a foodie. Without Ethan serving tea, food and fruit for her every day, she had lost weight. The food in the kindergarten canteen tasted good. But Bonnie began to dislike it and was picky about food every day. For this reason, Margery would go to kindergarten three or four times a week to wait on her little princess. At the gate of the kindergarten, Margery got out of the car with her stuff in her hand and almost ran into Vivian. She stood by the door, talking softly with a strange female teacher. When Margery passed by, she pretended not to stand still and inadvertently fell toward Margery. "Ah... Dr. Byrne, I am sorry. I sprained my ankle just now." Margery wanted to take two steps back to avoid Vivian, but because she was a doctor and she knew Vivian, Margery did not quarrel with her for the time being, and even supported her. "Thank you." Vivian''s eyes became cold. When Margery was not paying attention, she quickly pulled off a few of her hair, curled them in her hand, and held them tightly. She did not leave immediately but chatted with the teacher. Margery was reluctant to help Vivian, but she did not expect Vivian would pull her hair. All at once, Margery red up. In the past, she might have put up with it because of their rtionship. But when Margery knew Golden that hated Vivian for her setting Margery up, Margery had no longer taken the kinship to heart. Not only that, Vivian and the entire Martin family indirectly killed Margery''s parents. Margery put the bags on the steps, turned her head and rushed to Vivian, blocking her way. She folded her hands and smiled, "Ms. Martin, I was kind to help you, but you tore my scalp and left without apology?" Vivian pinched Margery''s hair in her hand. She just wanted to go and do something urgent as soon as possible. So, at this moment, even though Margery was aggressive, she didn''t care about it. With the best patience and most elegant smile, she looked at Margery said word by word, "Dr. Byrne, I''m in a hurry. I''m really sorry for hurting you just now. May I go now?" Margery was shocked that Vivian lowered her dignity to apologize to her. She felt strange but smiled, "Yes! Ms. Martin, please." She hadn''t thought of doing anything to Vivian right now, just to get back on her. When the goal was achieved, there was no need to fight tit for tat and waste precious time. Vivian had more important things to do now! Chapter 43 Make a Fuss Chapter 43 Make a Fuss Margery only had time to deliver two bags of Bonnie''s stuffs to Ms. Hall, and to make a long story short, exining why she didn''t need to apologize to Layne''s parents. Ms. Hall also received the message from Vivian that Layne did not require Ethan to apologize. Ms. Hall felt a little ashamed, "Miss, I''m sorry that I was too worried about Layne''s injury and did not take care of Ethan. It was my dereliction of duty that Ethan got hurt. But you didn''t make trouble in the kindergarten or ask the principal to fire me. Thank you. Thank you very much. The job is very important to me and I can''t afford to lose it. Miss Margery, you can rest assured that I will take good care of Ethan and Bonnie in the future." "How kind you are, Ms. Hall! Ethan is naughty and Bonnie is delicate. I should thank you for taking care of them." Margery''s eyes were soft, and she smiledfortably. With Ms. Hall taking care of Ethan and Bonnie from the bottom of her heart, she could save a lot of energy and felt more secure. After leaving the kindergarten, Margery called Melvin, "Melvin, send me the location and the box number, I''ll be right there." Over there, Melvin seemed to have been waiting for her. But Melvin spoke so fast that Margery couldn''t hear him clearly. "Melvin, I know there are so many beautiful women around you. But don''t be so excited. Can you speak slowly? I can''t hear you." Melvin found a quiet corner, andughed happily, "Margery, you know what? When a man has one or two beauties with him, that is a happy thing. But when a group of beauties get jealous, that is a disasterContent property of N?velDra/ma.Org. for a man. These beauties are not easy to deal with. But I have soothed them down for the time being. Come here quickly, room 606, Darkstream Bar." *** When Margery arrived at Darkstream Bar, it was six o''clock in the afternoon. She came to Room 606, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Melvin with messy hair and was surrounded by more than ten beautiful women. "Come on, Mr. Collins, give me a kiss, won''t you?" "Mr. Collins, can I stay with you tonight?" "Mr. Collins, we have flirted with you for so long, but you don''t have any reaction. Are you ipetent? Rest assured, just give me the money, I can cure your disease." More than ten beauties, with charming smile on their faces, flirted with Melvin. One touched his face, the other went down his chest, and some even... The man who had been flirted with women for so many years now seemed to be a bit panicked. Margery burst outughing, "Melvin, it seems you are still charming. Did you fall in love with one of them?" "What?! impossible!" Melvin saw Margery standing by the door, with her hands sped in her chest. He pushed aside the women around him, walked to Margery, stared at her jocr gaze, and said helplessly, "The reason why I have done so much and make myself wretched is you." He deliberately raised her chin with two fingers, staring at her, and said yfully, "Margery, you saw that these women also took off my pants. I sacrifice myself in such way for you. How are you going to thank me? With your shape and look, I can barely think about it you want to sleep with me." Here he came. He always joked like that. Margery felt his head ached, "Melvin, I''m sorry to make you sacrifice so much for me! When the thing is over, I''ll serve you well every day." Melvin raised his eyebrows. "That''s it?" "And else? You pick one of the sixteen beauties and I''ll pay for you tonight. How''s that?" With the 4 million she had collected from Golden and Vivian, Margery was full of confidence. Melvin was speechless. Stared at Margery for a long time, he found that there were no other thoughts in Margery''s mind and she was not jealous at all. Suddenly he felt so frustrated and said in a sad voice, "Margery, I have been working hard for five years, but you only treat me as your brother. Are you still in love with that bastard Golden?" "Melvin, what are you talking about? I still love Golden? How could that be?!" Margery was slightly stiff, and she looked sullen. Under the dim lights of the bar, Melvin couldn''t read her mind. Seeing that Margery was so sad, Melvin felt a bit guilty. As he began to apologize, he heard her sneer and say in a cold low voice, "He killed my Andrew. I''ll love him again until I die, or Andrew cane to life and Golden dies!" Margery said every word with hate. Melvin''s eyes darkened, and he sighed in the bottom of his heart. Then he lowered his head, nted his eyes, and pulled his face to make her happy. "Okay, okay, it''s my fault to remind you of your sorrowful memories! What time is Golden going to be here? Hurriedly, tidy up the mood. You have to look beautiful and make a fuss." "It''s 7:00 p.m. and Dr. Lee will be here too." When talking about business, Margery took a deep breath and quickly calmed herself down. She walked to the group of women, picked the most enchanting ten, and asked them to change into Chinese cheongsam, and with the most dignified and elegant attitude to meet Golden. That man was always cold on the surface. But after marrying him for three years, she knew that he was passionate. He didn''t like women being too sexy. That would lose the beauty. Cheongsam would make a woman look dignified. He might like it. "All right. It''s about the time. I have to go first!" Melvin rushed towards the door and slipped away. Not long after he left, Dr. Lee arrived with a medicine kit the size of his hand. It contained the medicine to treat Golden. If he couldn''t be aroused by these women, he would just give him the medicine. If the medicine didn''t work, there was really no way out. Dr. Lee spoke out his worry. Margery smiled lightly, "If one jab doesn''t work, give him more. I don''t believe it won''t work!" Dr. Lee felt shocked and felt painful in some ce. He decided to stay away from Margery and ran as far as possible. Being treated by Dr. Byrne in this way, the boss must have offended her. *** Margery arranged everything. She opened the door of the room, standing beside the door, and saw the handsome man walking in with no expression. She raised her head and smiled at him. "Herees Mr. Barrett. I am so grateful that you helped me find Ethan. So, I have prepared a special gift for you tonight." Chapter 44 Only You Can Make Me Happy Chapter 44 Only You Can Make Me Happy Margery looked at the man who got closer and closer to her, and she smiled brightly when she thought of what she was going to do next. When he entered the box, the ten charming women would gather around him and flirt with him. As long as he was a normal man, he would be aroused. What''s more, she specifically told Melvin to find the women who looked simr to Vivian. Under the dim and blurred light, these women all looked like Vivian. Didn''t he love Vivian most? Since one Vivian couldn''t turn him on, then give him ten. With so many women for his choice, there would be one what was suitable for him. The smile on Margery''s lips widened as thought of this. She reached out and made an inviting gesture. "Mr. Barrett, please." Golden looked at Margery in front of him. With a clear delicate face and a simple shirt and a pair of trousers, she was fully dressed, only her neck was exposed and her long hair neatly hung down behind her. She was so pure but so alluring. He couldn''t move his eyes away from her and swallowed hard. The woman seemed to have enchanted magic that she could easily arouse him and make him full of passion. The man raised his eyebrows and said with a deep smile, "What gift did you prepare for me?" Margery pushed open the door and let him in. "Mr. Barrett, please let me leave you some mystery! It is a nice present, and of course, it requires Mr. Barrett to check it personally." When she finished, she looked up and gave him a deep, meaningful smile. "Enjoy yourself, Mr. Barrett." Her cunning but cold look gave full y of unlimited charm. Golden felt he was getting more and more excited by Margery. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. In the past, Margery always kept a calm and rigid ace, and treated him with alienated gentleness. Even when she asked for his help, she was humble and weak. How could she have such a refresh look? Recalling the past, Golden put on a wry smile. He narrowed his eyes faintly, put one hand into his trouser pocket and walked in. "With Dr. Byrne by my side, I don''t mind what I am going to y with." As he said so, he reached her lips, and said in a low voice. "It''s good. I''m happy." The voice was soft, mixed with a trace of ambiguity. Margery was immediately angry. Anger and hatred were intertwined in her heart, making her face red and look more amazing. She looked up at him with a faint smile. "Mr. Barrett, only you would feel happy. And I feel sick! In H City, you are a big shot who can get everything you want, but no one would think that such a big shot would actually forcefully kiss a woman in the hospital in the middle of the night. So, Mr. Barrett, are you really that hungry? I''ll put up with you once for the sake of you finding Ethan for me. But next time I''ll call the police." Golden narrowed his eyes and didn''t care about her threat. "If you can''t get over it, how about I letting you kiss me back?" What a jerk! Margery was about to lose temper and scolded him when Dr. Lee chimed in! "Mr. Barrett, please!" Dr. Lee smiled and duly walked over to wee Golden to the sofa. Just as he was about to exin the treatment process to the big shot, he saw Golden''s eyes sweep coldly over the vulgar women in cheongsam. Golden frowned and looked cold and terrible. He said to Margery standing not far away with a stern face, "Is that your gift for me?" "Right! To thank you and to cure you." Seeing that Golden seemed uninterested in the ten attractive beauties, Margery waved at the beauties to go away. Then she took the syringe from Dr. Lee, shook it, and smiled at the dignified man on the sofa. "Mr. Barrett, one period of the treatmentsted for ten days to half a month. And I wasted almost seven days because of my personal affairs. I am sorry! In order to get you well as soon as possible, and in order to reach our agreement, I want to try extraordinary measures to cure you. If these beauties can''t make you satisfied, then I have to give you the medicine! The medicine is imported from M Country and it has no side effects, except for feeling a bit dizzy. So, would you like me to give you an injection first, or you watch some shows first?" To entertain him with these women? Golden almost lost his temper. The man lit a cigarette, with one hand supporting his head, and staring at Margery with dark eyes. Her half opened red lips were extremely attractive. When he saw it, he smiled deeply, "Dr. Byrne, bring these women away with you immediately. You, stay here." He meant Margery. Words failed Margery. Damn it. She was a doctor, not the kind of woman to satisfy him. She blushed, not because she felt ashamed, but angry, and she stared at him gritting her white teeth. "Mr. Barrett," she said, "I have told you that this arrangement is to thank you and to cure you. You are a patient, and I want you to be cooperative! Without the cooperation of these beauties and Dr. Lee, I alone can''tplete your treatment! If the medicine doesn''t work during the course of treatment, who is going to take the responsibility?" "There''s no need to be so troublesome." Looking at her crimson face, Golden stood up with a chuckle. He stepped over to her and lowered his head slightly. He rubbed his thin lips on her red earlobes and smiled evilly, "Only you can make me happy!" When he said that, Golden''s eyes swept coldly over the group of beauties and Dr. Lee. That look was terrible and dangerous. Dr. Lee dared not stay any longer. He silently apologized to Margery and took the medicine kit and left. The beauties also swarmed out quickly. Margery couldn''t see what he had done behind her back and wondered why the women ran faster than a rabbit. When she was lost in thought, the man''s hot breath fell on her most sensitive ear tip, which made her feel hot. But when she thought of the man so caring about Vivian, and now was flirting with his doctor, she felt colder and colder. Didn''t he only love Vivian alone? He even killed his wife and kid cruelly for Vivian. And now he was trying to flirt with his doctor behind Vivian''s back. ''Golden, how shameless and cruel you are.'' thought Margery. "Mr. Barrett, I''m a doctor, not a woman to be humiliated by you at will. Please behave yourself." Margery backed away, fumbled for something on the coffee table. She gritted her teeth, and made a sudden move toward Golden. Chapter 45 You Are Shameless, But I Am Not Chapter 45 You Are Shameless, But I Am Not What Margery got angry was the syringe that Dr. Lee forgot to take away when he left in panic. Inside the syringe, therapeutic drugs had been injected. At this moment, in her desperation, Margery did not know what was in her hand. As Golden went to her, she inserted the syringe into the arm where the man rolled up his sleeve and showed his firm muscles. With the syringe inserting in his skin, the man groaned and stared down at Margery''s angry face, feeling a bit dizzy. A momentter, sweat oozed out of his fair forehead. He raised his eyebrow and half smiled, "Did you give me a jab?" "Yes, or how can I treat your disease?" When Margery saw that he abhorred sharp needles to the extent of oozing cold sweat, she felt cheerful and then said in a sincere tone, "Mr. Barrett, as a doctor, I advise you to actively cooperate with the treatment, and don''t be scared. If you don''t cooperate with me, it will be difficult to carry on my work! Yeah, we have a bet that if I couldn''t cure you, the Hospital would close down. But if you can''t be cured, even if it costs tens of Bok Hospitals, you won''t regain your confidence as a man. I don''t think that''s what you want, right?" "Fine! I won''t be scared and cooperate with you." Golden looked at her crimson lips, and as the time went by, he grew hotter, "Do you know the medicinal property of this medicine?" "How could I not know about it? I imported it myself." Margery didn''t know what the man was thinking. She stared at him angrily and said, "This drug is the latest exciting drug. One injection will keep you energetic! And I have paid a lot of money to find those charming women to cure your disease." R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Thinking of Dr. Lee slipping away, and the beauties leaving, Margery felt distressed that she couldn''t take the money back. "How energetic I will be?" Golden went forward with his long legs and came to her. He quickly caught her slim waist and pressed her against the round wooden post at the back. Lowering his lips on her soft hair, he whispered, "Is it like this?" Margery was still feeling distressed for losing the money. But the man''s thin lips got closer to hers. The cold breath lingered on her nose, which made her tremble. Five yearster, his flirting skills were getting better and better. Practice made perfect. He must have flirted with Vivian countless times. Thinking like this, Margery hated him even more. But no matter how much she hated him, she couldn''t stop trembling when facing the man''s flirtation. It made her feel shamed and angry. "Mr. Barrett, you are a big shot in H City and you have fame and prestige. I believe you would not be so shameless to force a woman to do what she doesn''t want." She hated Golden, but she hated herself for having feeling for him. It suddenly urred to her that Golden must have driven Dr. Lee and the women away. Oh, what a shameless cunning man! "How many times did we meet? Why did you know me so well?" Golden gave a low chuckle. He lifted her chin, staring at her with his deep eyes and exhaled a breath to her. "The vulgar women won''t work for me! But you, you alone can keep me energetic, without any medicine!" "I came tonight because you invited me! I came here only because you are here. Do you understand?" Her touch on him in the bathroom, the feeling of holding her slender waist on the back hill as they looked for Ethan, the kiss of her outside Ethan''s room, and what happened tonight... Just looking at her without doing anything was enough to arouse his desire. So, whoever she was, whether she was Margery who came back from the dead five years ago, he couldn''t let her go this time. Throughout this time, a man just wanted to find a woman who was exactly right for him. Five years ago, he did not understand his heart so he lost Margery. Five yearster, he would never let go of this Margery. So what if she was Melvin''s wife? Melvin spent his days and nights partying in bars and dodging her. All of these showed that she and her children were not epted by the Collins family. If the Collins family couldn''t ept it, as time passed by, her marriage with Melvin woulde to an end. He had been waiting for five years. It didn''t matter to wait a little longer. "Mr. Barrett, I don''t know what you''re talking about." Margery lifted her eyes, looking at the man, who was as handsome as he was five years ago but ten times shameless that he used to be. "I am a doctor. You are sick, and it''s my duty to treat you, but please don''t take me as those women you are looking for fun! You are the big shot of H City, and no one dares tough at you. You don''t mind losing face, but I don''t want to." She was so blunt and sharp that she was going to confront with him. "If I want to use you for fun, I would have slept with you long time ago and won''t be so nice to you now." The man tilted his head, pressed his thin lips on her red ears again and said in a maic voice, "Believe me, I can give you the happiness that Melvin can''t give you!" "Mr. Barrett, please behave yourself!" Margery suddenly pushed him away with determination and said coldly, "Whether Melvin can make me happy has nothing to do with you! Or does the venerable Mr. Barrett not only have the penchant for flirting with other people''s wives, but also loves to raise other people''s children?" "Do you have to be so stubborn?" Golden smiled more and more brightly as he looked at her angry but excited face. "Dr. Byrne, for the sake of your dignity, I can leave you alone now, but you have injected me with the medicine for treatment. What are you going to do with me?" How silly it was! If the medicine had helped him, why would his illness have lingered so long? The moment she touched him in the bathroom, he knew that she was the best cure for him. When he mentioned that the medicine had worked, Margery gritted her teeth and wanted to knock him on the ground. Didn''t she find him so many beautiful women? But he didn''t want them and drove them away! "I''m sorry, Mr. Barrett. You drove everyone out. I can''t find any woman for you now. How about I call Ms. Martin and ask her toe over?" After that, Margery didn''t wait for Golden to reply and she turned around and ran outside the box. The room was filled with his breath and taste, which made her feel stuffy and irritable. On the corridor, Margery was about to call Vivian when she heard high heels stepping on the ground and a fragrant scent wafted over. The Novel will be updated first on this website.
