What Doris said made Nancy so angry that she almost cried. She shouldn’t have answered her call,
because she just made her feel even worse instead of comforting her!
With gritted teeth, Nancy replied, "Doris, whether you believe it or not, I don’t like Charles anymore!"
"I believe that you can abandon Charles, but the consequence is the same as that he abandons you.
You can't find a place to cry with yourself in your arms!" After saying that, Doris laughed gloatingly.
"Doris, do you think I am so incompetent?" The reason why Nancy didn't give up her career was to
prove to the world that she was not only with Charles because of his family's power, money, status, and
so on.
But it seemed like she still wouldn't be able to escape being called a gold-digger in the end.
This was simply an insult to Nancy, wasn't it?
"It's not that you are incompetent. You just don't see the reality. A woman's ultimate career is to take
good care of her husband and children at home."
"Well, I see. You only called me to let me know that you're on Charles' side, and you're working
together to make me give up my beloved profession. Don't say anything, Doris. We are done from now
on." As soon as she finished her words, Nancy hung up and threw the phone on the sofa. She still
couldn’t believe that her best friend didn’t help her escape. Instead, she was even happy that Charles
imprisoned her.
"Hello, Nancy, I'm doing this for your own good. Why can't you tell the difference between good and
bad?" Doris shouted at the phone, but Nancy already ended the call.
Maybe it was because her voice was too loud that Ace cried in fear.
With a scowl on his face, Jay rushed out and shouted, "What are you yelling at, Doris? You scared
Ace."
"I... Nancy made me angry." In a hurry, Doris entered the bedroom and took Ace out from his crib.
"That's right. Nancy has gone too far. She even hugged Rick. No man can accept it, let alone Charles!"
As he spoke, Jay kept pinching Ace's little face, which annoyed Doris.
"Stop pinching. What if you pinch Ace's face so hard that it droops?" The three of them were like
dancing as she tried to dodge Jay’s hand from pinching Ace’s face.
When Jay got tired, he made a face at Ace and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Ace is like me. My skin is
tight."
"He shouldn't be like you! Well, it's okay if he looks like you since you are handsome, but I hope he
doesn't turn into a playboy like you. If he dares to mess with women everywhere, I will be miserable all
my life!" Remembering what kind of man he was before made Doris roll her eyes.
"I've changed. Why do you always bring up the past? I’m not that person anymore." As a man who had
changed his old ways for his beloved woman, Jay couldn’t help but be angry every time she would say
that he was a playboy.
"Haven't I told you that a leopard cannot change its spots? Jay, you always go out these days. Tell me,
what happened? What have you been doing, huh?"
"It's about the company... Stop asking." To avoid any more questions, Jay walked towards the
bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower. I've been busy all day and my clothes are dirty."
"I called Hanson today, and he said you weren't in the company. How dare you lie to me? You are a
bad guy..." As soon as she heard that he was lying, Doris followed to hit him.
But before she could even reach him, he had already closed the door.
Inside the bathroom, Jay let out a heavy sigh.
It seemed like Doris would never stop being suspicious all her life. Did she have a gut feeling whenever
something was happening? As for Hanson, why didn't he put in a good word for him?
How could Hanson tell her the truth that he hadn’t been in the company?
If Doris found out that he had been to Su’s residence, would he be killed?
After taking off his clothes, Jay turned on the shower head and looked up, letting the water fall on his
face and body.
He made the water very cold, hoping that it would numb his emotions.
Even so, his heart was still beating fast.
'Eva Su, Eva Su... Why did you just wake up?'
Bittersweet memories flashed back in Jay's mind.
Eva was the girl he liked the most when he was younger. The two of them enjoyed each other’s
company. They were happy together.
However, at the age of sixteen, a sudden car accident made Eva fall into a coma.
The doctor said that Eva would never wake up again, and even persuaded her family to give up the
treatment.
But how could they give up when she was the only daughter in the Su family?
Ten years. For ten whole years, she had been unconscious.
Although her family didn’t give up on her, no one was expecting that she would wake up someday.
But the day before yesterday, a shocking news reached Jay; Eva finally woke up.
He immediately drove to the Su’s residence, but was shut out by Eva’s family.
Her mother, Pam Huo, was so angry at Jay that she didn't even let him enter the gate. "My daughter
has never known you. We don't know you either. Get out of here!"
"Auntie, I heard that Eva has woken up. I'm not here to disturb her. I just want to have a look and make
sure she is safe and sound."
"How dare you say that? If you hadn't asked her to go to the seaside, would she have had a car
accident? Let me tell you, it's all your fault! You are a murderer. We will never forgive you for the rest of
our lives. Get out of here!" Pam Huo pointed at Jay, wishing to curse him the most vicious words in the
world.
No matter how hurtful her words were, Jay still pleaded, "Auntie, I was still young at that time. I
regretted asking her out that night, but the tragedy has happened and I can't forgive myself. That's why
I want to take a look at her, just one look..."
However, Pam Huo's heart was as hard as stone. She snorted and spat at him before she closed the
door. "Lock the door, butler."
The butler immediately responded and locked the door.
For several days, the door had been locked from day to night. Jay had been coming back to see Eva,
but he never got the chance.
That was why Jay had been coming home late. But of course, he couldn’t let Doris know about it.
Otherwise, he would lose his precious life.
What happened that year was his fault. He should be blamed for Eva’s misery.
It was true that he liked Eva before, but he absolutely didn't want to resume his relationship with her.
He just hoped that Eva could be fine, forgive him, and give him a chance to compensate, no matter
how much money she wanted.
But the Su family didn't intend to give him a chance. They wanted him to suffer, as the past tormented
him.
It could be imagined how depressed Jay was.
For the past years he had tried his best to bury it all deep down within him, but as she woke up, the
past he had been trying to hide suddenly came back to life.
It broke free from his cage of memory, and popped out one after another.
There was no way for Jay to escape.
"Doris, I seem to have caught a cold, and I'm afraid that it will infect you and Ace. I'll sleep alone for a
few days. When I recover, I'll accompany you." In order to prove that what he said was true, Jay sniffed
and rubbed his eyes.
Hearing Jay’s muffled voice, Doris really believed it.
"Drink more water and measure your body temperature. If you only have slight symptoms, you can take
some anti-inflammatory medicine. If anything happens, remember to call me." The more concern Doris
showed, the guiltier Jay felt.
