Chapter 331
"Oh, you are finally awake, Christina," Roderick said calmly as he walked closer to them.After bringing her to the hospital, Roderick left her in the care of the doctors and went to attend to other matters he had to settle.Now, he had returned to check on how well she was doing.However, Christina only turned her face away from Roderick at this moment. She was biting her lips, suddenly feeling restless from his unexpected appearance.She never expected him to show up just as she had raised an accusation against him.She knew she had no concrete proof for her accusation. She wished she had more time to gather concrete evidence before Roderick showed up.Christina never cared to look at Roderick, let alone appreciate his help, when the security officer spoke to her."Miss Smith, it's all thanks to Mr. Holmes. He was the one who single-handedly rescued you. If not for him, only heaven knows what we might be talking about now."Christina's face immediately frowned as she turned to the s

Christina's brows suddenly knitted in anger.She couldn't understand Roderick's statement. Did it mean he was simply comparing her to an outsider?Did it mean he never really cared about her?Christina felt disappointed in herself. She couldn't believe she was a nobody to Roderick.She felt it was a great embarrassment for Roderick to say such a thing to her face.Christina felt she was supposed to be the one in the position to say such a thing to him.Given the fact that Christina had fallen into a deep silence after Roderick's statement, Kate had to tease her."Christie, it seems Mr. Holmes' words hit the right nerve. It means the whole matter has been settled.""What?!" Christina was stunned.She couldn't believe Roderick was really leading and winning this argument.She thought that if she gave a chance for that, it meant she was really nobody here and Roderick was somebody.Not accepting defeat, Christina scoffed. "I only remained quiet because I found no point in his words. Does
Chapter 333
After Dr. Cole finished his praises and worship of Roderick, he left the ward as joyfully as a child who had just been gifted a box of chocolates.The reason Dr. Cole humbled himself so much before Roderick was the major cause of Christina's headache.She looked seriously unhappy to see such a thing happen.Kate, who had been paying very close attention to her secretary's expression since Dr. Cole began to kneel and rise, worshipping Roderick, saw how sadly she looked.She knew the only thing going through her mind was to interrupt the doctor and stop him from being so respectful toward Roderick.If possible, she would even like to see him embarrassed out of the ward.To be very sensible, she already understood that with how restless Dr. Cole was and how nearly groveling he was before Roderick, nothing she said could change the mind of such a person.Believing that Roderick was some kind of con doctor very talented with his tricks, she thought he must have pulled some crazy stunts on
Chapter 334
Ah!Kate was surprised to hear this from Christina.Of course, she knew she wouldn't be happy to hear her laughing with Roderick. But she never thought it would get to the point that she wouldn’t mind leaving the ward for them, even though it would cost her to neglect her health condition."Oh, we are very sorry for disturbing you, Christina. We thought our voices were very low. We never knew we were disturbing you," Kate pleaded genuinely.Of course, Christina never heard a thing from their discussion, as their voices were very low. But the fact that she could see them grinning at each other was what got her blood boiling.Only Christina could explain the level of hatred she had for Roderick.It hurt her more that the more she tried to separate Roderick from her boss, the tighter their bond grew.This matter might look simple in the eyes of others, but it was driving Christina mad.Seeing the situation at hand, Roderick had to make an excuse and leave the ward, if only for the sake o
Chapter 335
A few moments later, Felicia and her mother forced themselves to return to reality by waving off the wishes swirling in their minds.They couldn't deny the fact that if it had taken the York family a very long time before they were able to invite the miracle doctor over, it would take them forever.Not only were they short of funds to invite such an extraordinary doctor, but their family reputation wasn't strong enough either.For these reasons, they had to dismiss the illusion from their minds.They were already heading towards the hospital entrance when Felicia still had a string of thoughts in her mind, causing her to mutter under her breath."How I wish it could really happen in reality. Grandpa's sickness should be cured soon. With his assistance, things could get straightened out between me and Roderick."At that moment, Felicia bumped into someone.Boom!"Has the day really become so dark that one can't see the figure of an approaching person?" the other person questioned as th

Felicia was about to run after Roderick as he left when Clara instantly blocked her way."Why are you going, Felicia? Can't you even have some respect for yourself? Do you really want to run after someone who just made it clear that he never cared about you?"Clara was trying to make sense of her daughter's thoughts. Felicia used to be that untouchable lady who carried herself with great honor. Clara couldn't understand what was going through her mind at this moment.Meanwhile, Felicia still had her gaze fixated on the retreating figure of Roderick as he headed towards the parking lot.Just then, Felicia turned to her mother and asked, "Mom, didn't you say Don Julio's men, The Unforgiven, and his colleague will be stepping out tonight to cause some trouble?"Clara's face twitched slightly in confusion. She wondered what this question had to do with the matter at hand.She remembered mentioning this news to her daughter about an hour ago, and Felicia had never cared about it since she
Chapter 337
Felicia and her mother had entered the hospital while Roderick was in the parking lot.He hated the fact that he had to act so nonchalantly towards Felicia, but there was nothing else he could do about it.Not only had the family, including Felicia, driven his benefactor, Oliver Santos, out of his old house on Edgebrook Avenue and sold off the property.This matter made Roderick's heart clench whenever he remembered it. The fact that he tried his best to persuade the family not to sell it off, but they never listened to him, was what hurt him most.The most heartbreaking matter of all was that none of the family members even cared to find out where the sick old man had been kept since they sold off his property, including Felicia!How much more heartless can a family be?!It's always difficult for Roderick to wrap his head around the matter whenever it strikes his mind.He wouldn't have anything to do with this family if not for the sick old man. If his benefactor doesn't get good tre

Kate nodded slowly as she answered the team leader. "I commend your expertise, John. But I have a place to go now. Once I'm done, we can return home."John Hudlon, the security team leader, looked slightly worried as he spoke up."Miss Bolton, I dare not contradict you, but I advise that we treat this matter with caution and urgency. The enemies have already sent their men out tonight. It would be wiser to prioritize your safety first and deal with these foes. After that, you can go wherever you wish at any time."Kate couldn't deny that John was making sense. He had informed her over the phone earlier that Don Julio's men were hiding in the darkness of the night, ready to strike at any opportunity.If she chose to be stubborn and walk into their arms, it might complicate things.This made Kate frown slightly in dissatisfaction. She was worried that if she canceled the date with Roderick tonight, only heaven knows when she wouldn't have another opportunity like this.Given that it was

'No way!'John's face instantly widened in shock upon hearing that.He couldn't believe Kate had actually asked them to escort her and the nobody on a date.He thought that would not only cause a smirk on his face but also be the most embarrassing moment of his life.For a second, he thought he was only hearing things. However, seeing Kate link arms with Roderick made him feel completely devastated.He had thought Kate was only calling Roderick her husband as a tag name. Who could have thought it had gotten to the point that they leaned so close to each other and also went out on dates?John didn't want to imagine anything crazier happening between them beyond this.The thought could only make him act rashly, and he would end up offending Kate.For this reason, he tried his best to keep cool.Then, he answered Kate. "Seriously, Miss Bolton... Firstly, you are going out at night and it is very unsafe. Secondly, if you really want to risk your safety to please someone, it has to be some

John felt that it shouldn't cost him much to humiliate Roderick. If he could just admit his fear before Kate, he wouldn't bother stressing over the matter any longer, as the humiliation had already served the purpose he needed.Kate was biting her lower lip in great anger. She could tell that John was truly finished. She perfectly understood the trick he was about to pull.However, fighting further for Roderick at this point might seem like she was covering up for him, as she knew he was incapable.Turning to look at Roderick, he was still in his very calm demeanor. His face was as gentle as usual.It was obvious that all the trash John had been talking about didn't even get to him. Probably, he hadn't even been paying any attention to it.Kate was still quite confused about how to end all this nonsense on a whim when John's voice came again as he walked a bit closer to Roderick."Kid, I'm talking to you. You haven't said anything in response. Probably, you're feeling embarrassed to o
