Chapter 4996
At that time, Alex had a car accident, but his injuries were not serious, so he did not want to be hospitalized. However, his brothers forced him to stay.The department head told Sheila that the patient was an heir of the York family and instructed her to treat him seriously.As a doctor, Sheila treated all patients seriously, regardless of their family background. Still, the director meant well, so she listened.Alex had never lied to her.Kent did not know Alex’s identity and assumed he was a freeloader.That was why Kent thought Sheila had been deceived, too.“His parents probably like Mary more, right?” Enid asked.Sheila shrugged. “I don’t know. That’s his business. Whoever his parents like has nothing to do with me.”She and Kent would never become husband and wife.Enid nodded. “Ignore him. He’s playing both sides, chasing you while taking Mary and his parents to the beach.”Sheila said, “He can juggle as many boats as he wants. I’m not getting on any of them. What do
Chapter 4995
“If you go out to have fun, what about me?” Marvin couldn’t help but say, “Are you going to leave me at home alone? I haven’t seen a chrysanthemum exhibition or gone on a fall outing for years.”Marvin and Enid were always tied to the clinic, so the two of them had not traveled in a long time.Sometimes, they thought about closing the clinic and going out, but before they even got far, someone would call, asking for Dr. Marvin to treat them.So it had truly been years since they last traveled.Only during Christmas could they drive around locally, but everywhere was packed with people, and all they could see was the crowds.Instead of enjoying a vacation, they just ended up exhausted.Thus, Marvin and Enid would rather stay home and watch TV than travel during the holidays.Enid laughed. “You stay and watch the clinic this time. Next time you go, I’ll stay. We can take turns relaxing.”Marvin pouted. “No, I’m going with you. It’s been so long since we’ve gone out together. Shei

“Sheila, I’ll head back first. See you tomorrow.”Alex looked at Sheila deeply for a moment, waved with a smile, and rode off.Sheila stood at the doorway, watching him leave.Only after he disappeared from sight did she go into the clinic.Marvin and Enid knew she had returned, but they did not come out, not wanting to interrupt her conversation with Alex.On Marvin’s desk were two baskets of fresh fruit, still with leaves attached.At a glance, it was obvious these fruits had just been picked.“Sheila, you’re back. Alex brought over two baskets of fruit and said they’re freshly picked from his home. His grandmother asked him to deliver them to you.“They’re very fresh. He said they hardly use pesticides since they’re for their own consumption, so they’re completely organic and safe to eat.”The seasonal fruits this time of year were persimmons and pomelos, common fruits on the market.Enid brought a fruit knife and cut open a pomelo. She peeled and split it into segments be

Sheila laughed. “Everyone’s like that. If there are too many boys, they want a girl, and vice versa. They always want the best of both worlds.”In reality, not everything could turn out as one wished.Alex said, “Exactly. Now that my eldest brother and his wife have a daughter, my nana finally has a great-granddaughter, so she’s a bit more satisfied. Before that, whenever she saw someone else’s daughter, she wanted to take her home.”The one Grandma May most wanted to take home was Ben Young-Johnson’s only daughter.He only had one daughter, and every time Grandma May visited FC Manor, she wished she could take Chloe back home. This made Chloe’s late grandmother, Elizabeth, wary of Grandma May, guarding against her like a thief.After Elizabeth passed away, Grandma May had not visited FC Manor for a long time.In life, one would inevitably have to bid goodbye to many people.Thinking about how old his nana was, Alex could not help but worry that one day, she would leave them too
Chapter 4992
“All that good reputation is just rumors. It’s a carefully crafted image. Look at their daughters-in-law. None of them is ordinary. They’re all from prestigious families, all strong and capable women.“They’re all well-matched in status. Even the so-called Cinderella who married into the York family is actually from a wealthy family. So don’t be naive, and don’t believe those stories.“That’s just an image built for the men in their family. Cinderella’s story isn’t real.”Sheila said calmly, “Whether their image is real or staged has nothing to do with me. I’ve said it before. Alex and I are just neighbors. We’re ordinary friends.“It’s not what you think, so stop bringing him up all the time.”Sheila had no intention of marrying into wealth, so she did not care about Alex’s background.Whether he was a wealthy scion or an ordinary worker, to her, he was just a neighbor and a friend she got along with.When making friends, she valued character, not family background.“Kent, I’v
Chapter 4991
After hanging up, Kent’s expression turned extremely grim.He slumped weakly into his chair and stared blankly at the night outside the window.It turned out that Alex was actually from the richest family in Wiltspoon. Regardless of his rank among the York brothers, he was still an heir, someone Kent could never hope to reach in his lifetime.Alex was truly lucky to be born into such a powerful family.No wonder Alex could casually buy a house in Westbrooke Gardens. No wonder he carried such an air of nobility. Kent had to admit it even if he did not want to praise his rival.Alex’s overall qualities far surpassed his own. That was exactly why Kent felt threatened and mocked Alex for living off his relatives.Little did he know that he himself was the joke.The luxury car Alex drove clearly belonged to him. He did not need to rely on anyone because he had more than enough money himself.After a long while, Kent snapped out of it and immediately called Sheila.Sheila had just g

3 IPhone pages is not a decent amount of work. In a book this would be a couple of paragraphs.
Very disappointed ...
I care, I'm just sick of it! how many chapters can you ride about them eating and playing in the snow?
I agree very boring
Boring! Who cares?
