During this period, Aunt Eloise had been managing the teahouse business all along.
However, she had always kept Luis at a respectful distance, treating him like a ferocious beast and avoiding him persistently.
She not only never visited the family ho, but even when Luis went to the teahouse, she would deliberately avoid him, refusing to give Luis any opportunity for contact.
She had also figured out just how hard her own sister, Ruth, was working to drag her into this ss.
Ruth had been deliberately creating opportunities for her younger sister to be alone with her son-in-law and illicit lover...
The goal was to make her fall as well, to share in the sa secret together, to sink together into this immoral relationship.
That night had indeed brought boundless satisfaction, but this beautiful, mature woman with a more conservative nature simply could not accept such a relationship.
Since that night, an imnse sense of guilt had been weighing heavily on her heart.
Whenever she looked at her beloved niece, Lily, her heart would fill with hollow dread.
After returning ho and facing her daughter's rebellion, she had little confidence left to discipline her.
She even used to argue with her impoverished, spineless husband every few days, but now she didn't even want to argue anymore. The reason was simple.
Seeing her husband made her feel guilty and utterly lacking in confidence... The frustrations she used to find unbearable, she now endured in silence.
Luis knew this stunning beauty had a conservative and honest character, but he hadn't expected her to put so much pressure on herself.
That one night had even fucked her family into harmony... This was truly an unexpected bonus.
"No..."
Eloise pushed Luis away forcefully, pulled her clothes tight, her pretty face flushing red, trembling as she dodged to the door and said, "Luis... I've already said, this relationship is wrong, we shouldn't continue this mistake."
Luis, laughing lecherously, was about to step forward and continue, sensing her half-hearted resistance, her refusal mixed with invitation.
Seducing a married woman and mother into depravity was a pleasure every man could enjoy. Especially when her sense of sha was so heavy and she was so reserved and traditional, the mont she moaned beneath him would be even more exquisite.
Before he could get close, Logan suddenly ca charging back with a surprise return. The electric scooter stopped at the door with a sowhat urgent halt.
Both of them were startled. If he had returned just a few seconds earlier, he would have seen his own wife in the arms of this beast.
"Uncle-in-law, what happened??"
Luis asked calmly.
Eloise's face was flushed, though fortunately not too noticeably.
Logan said, rather anxiously, "Dear, a call just ca. Serena was hit by a car in the city."
"Is she alright?!"
Eloise asked urgently upon hearing this, "Is it serious?"
Luis didn't know Old Xie's younger sister. He had vaguely heard his mother-in-law gossiping that Aunt Eloise's marital life had suffered from a terrible relationship with her mother-in-law after the marriage.
However, the relationship between Eloise and her sister-in-law was quite good... The sister-in-law had moved back to her parents' ho to live.
It was said she couldn't have children and was planning to divorce. In the end, her husband got drunk, drove straight into a river, and died.
A divorce turned into widowhood... She beca a widow directly.
"We don't know yet, let's hurry over there."
Logan turned towards Luis and said, "Luis, I can't entertain you today. Sothing like this has happened in the family."
"It's fine, I'll drive you there."
Since a special situation had arisen, there was nothing else to be done. After all, they were relatives. Cedric imdiately drove the Benz C, carrying them towards the city.
"The hospital... which hospital is it!!"
Logan was on the phone the entire journey.
This poor, pedantic scholar had drudged away in the township his whole life. If it weren't for his sister-in-law's family as relatives, he probably wouldn't enter the city once a year.
His life had been fairly smooth sailing. Apart from being a bit poor and pedantic, he had no debts and no major upheavals or setbacks.
And he had married such a top-tier, busty beauty as his wife... At tis, others were green with envy.
Despite his sharp talk, when real trouble arose, he was imdiately flustered and asked in return, "Dear, which hospital do we know soone at?"
"How would I know!"
This attitude caused Eloise to inwardly feel contempt; this was the type of man won looked down on the most.
He had no money. He had no skills. Yet his temper was quite big and he was especially stubborn.
In daily life, he was sharp-tongued, a feudal-style male chauvinist. But when real trouble ca, he was frantic and clumsy.
Usually, he would talk endlessly about everything under the sun, an angry youth and critic through the ages. But when a real problem arose at ho, he was utterly helpless, even more so than an indecisive woman.
By comparison, Cedric, driving happily, seed much more composed and brimd with masculinity.
Calm and generous, he made Eloise sowhat envious of her sister's good fortune. She thought to herself that if her daughter's future husband was even half as good as him, it would be wonderful.
But as soon as she thought about how her own sister had been conquered by this adulterous son-in-law... her face uncontrollably flushed again. In truth, the flavor of that one night had beco the the of all her spring dreams now.
Seeing that Eloise was genuinely a bit worried, Cedric casually spoke up and said, "Let's go to the First City Hospital. What's the aunt's na? I'll have soone arrange things in the ergency room."
"Serena!"
Logan's face was full of hopeful expectation.
Cedric directly called Brook. As the hottest and most sought-after figure at the city hospital right now...
After dealing with the Kai matter, the old director had returned to that reclusive state of waiting for retirent.
He was putting all his energy into his own affairs, selling off properties and parking spaces in the city, preparing to go abroad for retirent to enjoy his family.
After Hela took office, she smoothly grasped power. Now she was the de facto number one leader at the First City Hospital, just waiting for the old director to step down so she could legitimately assu the official position.
Brook's status naturally rose with the tide as well... Wherever she went, she was t with amiable smiles and pleasant treatnt.
People always joked when they had nothing else to do: "When there's work to do, do the secretary. When there's nothing to do, do the secretary..." In so private enterprises, this was indeed the case. If a pretty girl was said to be a secretary, it was easy to view her through tinted lenses.
But in that kind of authoritative institution, it was different. Especially when the main leader was also a woman.
Then a secretary, no matter how beautiful, would never be scorned as a re vase. She had to have risen solely through her capabilities to attain such a status. In fact, the power in her hands was truly second only to one.
In the director's office, she was the secretary. When Hela wasn't there, she was the director.
The ergency room of the First City Hospital had never been quiet. As the best tertiary hospital in the city, it was the first choice for any nearby accident.
The adjacent Obstetrics and Gynecology Building and Pediatrics Building had also just been put into use. Even though the city had dedicated pediatric and maternity hospitals...
Both public and private ones were as nurous as hairs on a cow... But families with a little money and connections would still choose the First City Hospital with its most robust dical resources.
"Hello, where is Serena?"
Since he was here, Luis simply decided to be the good guy all the way through, and also explore to see if there were any further opportunities.
The doctor on duty today had long since received Brook's phone call and was not the slightest bit neglectful. He arranged for a nurse to specifically guide Serena through her examinations.
