Chapter 116

Kevin's question was improper, and he also retrieved the thoughts I desperately wanted to hide. Whenhe saw how hesitant I was, he smiled and said, "It seems like I guessed correctly!"

I was at a loss for words as he really hit the nail on the head this time.

He continued, "Since you want to sleep with Sunny, it means that you must like him, so stopcontemplating it! Your main goal now is to make Sunny fall in love with you!"

After a pause, he said, "Sunny has never experienced love, so he's very easy to tame. But, before youdo that, you must let him know that you've let go of your ex-husband! Otherwise, with his pride, believeme, he won't accept a woman whose heart is with someone else."

Kevin seemed to know Shawn well as he added, "He's a very patient man. If you don't take theinitiative, he will never take the initiative either! Ray, Sunny may behave coldly, but he has a warmheart. So, if you have really made up your mind, don't be afraid of his indifferent rejection."

……

That day, Kevin told me a lot. I kept thinking about them on the way back to Eldham, and I even went toBryxton at night.

Ever since Nicholas's death, I never came here. It was as if I was afraid of coming here and facing the

past.

After I climbed up the mountain with difficulty, I stood in front of Nicholas's tombstone and said, "Sorry, Ithink I have fallen for someone else."

The response I got in return was eternal silence which was what I was expecting since this was acemetery, and I only came here to face the ghost of my past.

I bent over, reached out to touch his black and white photo, and said calmly, "I finally have the courageto start a new life."

No one gave me their blessings. I didn't need them either.

Smiling, I continued, "Thank you for appearing in my life. Although it wasn't perfect, it even made myheart suffer tremendous pain… Nicholas, I'm going to love someone else now."

……

I didn't stay long after getting those words off my chest. Then, after going down the mountain, I went tomy attending doctor in Bryxton and asked, "I really can't have children anymore?"

After the doctor examined me, he was amazed that my cancer was completely healed. Then, heexplained, "Your uterus is still there, and you're fully healed now. If you cooperate with the treatment, itmay be possible."

The attending doctor's remarks gave me great hope. I looked at him in surprise and couldn't helpcrying, "I thought I… I thought I didn't even have a hope…"

"Mrs. Forger, let me introduce you to my senior. He's very skilled in traditional medication, so he maybe able to regulate your body."

After I retrieved his contact information, I politely corrected him, "I'm Mrs. Forger. You can just call meRenee next time. Thank you for your care over the past few months and for giving me hope."

"You're welcome, Ms. Renee."

I left with the business card and called the number at the hospital entrance.

He said he was working in Cyprex for a short period of time and wasn't free to leave.

I hurriedly asked, "Can I come to you now?"

"Sure. I'll wait for you at the hospital."

I hurriedly bought a ticket and flew to Cyprex. At the airport, I met Chairman Forger, who was pullingalong his luggage to the Goldshore terminal.

Why was he in Cyprex? Is he going to Goldshore?

I was puzzled, but I didn't go forward to ask him. Instead, after leaving the airport, I called for a taxi andwent to look for the doctor.

He looked more than ten years older than my attending doctor. I explained my situation to him, and heproceeded to check my pulse.

Finally, he said, "There's nothing wrong with your uterus, but it needs to be well regulated. I willprescribe you a few medicines. If you're well regulated, you can conceive, but you must pay moreattention to keeping your body warm."

After a pause, he said, "The internal condition of your body is too cold."

After being buried in the snow for so long yesterday, my body must be cold now, so he even prescribedme a couple of traditional medicines to drive away the cold.

As someone introduced me, he only charged me two thousand for the medicine, saying that he onlycharged for the cost of the drug.

However, I shook my head and insisted, "It's okay. I should pay the amount I'm supposed to pay. If Ican conceive, I'd even give you a million."

At that moment, I was so excited that I couldn't stop talking.

He was startled and said, "You're so interesting. No wonder my junior called and told me to do my bestto heal you."

"Thank you."

After I had retrieved the prescribed medicine, I flew back to Eldham. It was already evening when I got

home, so I quickly boiled water and poured a glass of the medication.

Regardless of whether it was helpful, it was still hope.

Right after drinking the medicine, James called me.

When I saw his number, it hit me that we had exchanged phone numbers at the party last time.

However, I still asked, "Why'd you call me?"

"Ms. Felix, come out and have fun."

James spoke in a hyper tone, so I stretched out my hand to play with the medicine cup as I asked, "It'sso late. What fun are you having?"

"Racing. Come and be our referee!"

Initially, I wanted to refuse, but upon remembering Merlin's well-intentioned introduction, I would simplybe ungrateful if I didn't go.

Besides, I hod nothing to do now.

After I took my cor keys, I selected o top-of-the-line stondord sports cor in the goroge ond drove to theogreed venue. When I orrived, I sow o girl in o block jocket sitting on the side of the rood.

I remembered her, ond I voguely remembered her nome being Emmo.

She wos Jomes' younger sister.

I opprooched ond sow her listening to piono music with heodphones on.

'Christopher' wos written on the phone screen.

I sot next to her ond osked with o smile, "Do you like Christopher?"

When she heord me, Emmo took off her heodphones ond sow thot it wos me. She shook her heod onddenied, "I don't. I just think the piono music isn't bod, so I cosuolly listened to it. You should knowChristopher, right?"

She octuolly turned the question bock to me.

She must hove reod the Twitter trending topics.

"I do," I onswered.

"Oh, he's quite hondsome."

Then, she soid nothing else.

I osked curiously, "Where's your brother?"

"Rocing. He'll poss by here in o few minutes."

She intrigued me, so I osked, "How old ore you?"

She turned off the piono music ond replied, "Almost eighteen."

I osked dubiously, "You're not studying?"

She colmly onswered, "I've groduoted with o moster's degree."

Astonished, I excloimed, "You groduoted ot such o young oge?"

"I hove o very high IQ ond EQ, ond I leorn everything quickly. One con soy thot it's not chollenging otoll. I groduoted with o moster's degree lost yeor, but I will only be eligible to work next yeor becouse I'mstill young."

Her tone wos colm to the point where she sounded unconcerned obout oll this.

I osked odmiringly, "Whot mojor did you study?"

"I've token mony mojors ond got o degree certificote, but I'll go to the police stotion to be opolicewomon becouse I'm very interested in how criminols work! My brother will be here in twominutes."

Emmo wos not yet on odult, but she spoke moturely, ond her timing wos occurote. Sure enough,Jomes orrived in less thon two minutes.

Not only him but Merlin os well.

Merlin wos surprised to see me. He come over, potted me on the shoulder, then osked in confusion,"Why ore you here?"

Jomes ploced his orms ocross Merlin's shoulder ond smiled, soying, "I invited her. Let's moke o betloter. Those who lose will wolk home from the mountoin. Ms. Felix will be our referee. Cheoting is notollowed!"

Then, Jomes osked, "Ms. Felix, ore you in?"

Besides, I had nothing to do now.

After I took my car keys, I selected a top-of-the-line standard sports car in the garage and drove to theagreed venue. When I arrived, I saw a girl in a black jacket sitting on the side of the road.

I remembered her, and I vaguely remembered her name being Emma.

She was James' younger sister.

I approached and saw her listening to piano music with headphones on.

'Christopher' was written on the phone screen.

I sat next to her and asked with a smile, "Do you like Christopher?"

When she heard me, Emma took off her headphones and saw that it was me. She shook her head anddenied, "I don't. I just think the piano music isn't bad, so I casually listened to it. You should know

Christopher, right?"

She actually turned the question back to me.

She must have read the Twitter trending topics.

"I do," I answered.

"Oh, he's quite handsome."

Then, she said nothing else.

I asked curiously, "Where's your brother?"

"Racing. He'll pass by here in a few minutes."

She intrigued me, so I asked, "How old are you?"

She turned off the piano music and replied, "Almost eighteen."

I asked dubiously, "You're not studying?"

She calmly answered, "I've graduated with a master's degree."

Astonished, I exclaimed, "You graduated at such a young age?"

"I have a very high IQ and EQ, and I learn everything quickly. One can say that it's not challenging at

all. I graduated with a master's degree last year, but I will only be eligible to work next year because I'mstill young."

Her tone was calm to the point where she sounded unconcerned about all this.

I asked admiringly, "What major did you study?"

"I've taken many majors and got a degree certificate, but I'll go to the police station to be apolicewoman because I'm very interested in how criminals work! My brother will be here in twominutes."

Emma was not yet an adult, but she spoke maturely, and her timing was accurate. Sure enough,James arrived in less than two minutes.

Not only him but Merlin as well.

Merlin was surprised to see me. He came over, patted me on the shoulder, then asked in confusion,"Why are you here?"

James placed his arms across Merlin's shoulder and smiled, saying, "I invited her. Let's make a betlater. Those who lose will walk home from the mountain. Ms. Felix will be our referee. Cheating is notallowed!"

Then, James asked, "Ms. Felix, are you in?"
