Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 166

I thought I could muster the courage to put this hopeless wait behind me, but reality slapped me hard across my face. My determination and pretense of staying calm were utterly shattered by merely listening to his wife addressing him as her husband. That man has permanently and thoroughly bonded with my body and soul. I'm destined to stay trapped in this lonely limbo and grieve over my heartache for the rest of this miserable life.

Meanwhile, Dwayne leaned against the wall outside the office with his head lowered, listening to the muffled cries on the other side of the wall in silence.

That outcome was within his expectation, yet he could not help but sympathize with her.

After all, they had borne witness to Lionel and Victoria's relationship and the special love they harbored for one another.

Many among their friends had stated that they had observed the best representation of love in the couple's relationship.

However, even a couple admired by so many people like them could not escape the irony of fate as their affection toward one another turned into hate, resulting in the two of them drifting apart.

Lionel and Victoria had ultimately become the sacrificial lambs in the power game.

Lionel had escaped that ill-fated relationship, married a wife, and fathered a child. He was doing well in his career and life. On the other hand, Victoria remained the only one who continued to be tortured by the unfruitful romance.

She could only rely on herself to leave her lingering feelings behind as no outsiders could help her.

Dwayne clasped the doorknob and hesitated to open the door for around five minutes. In the end, he gave up.

I doubt she wants anyone to see her current pathetic state while she suffers from an emotional breakdown. If I barge into the room, the atmosphere will only turn awkward and more unbearable.

Since Dwayne could not stay by her side to share her pain and despair, he decided to be her silent guardian.

He sincerely believed that a human's heart was not made of stone, so his feelings would one day reach and touch her.

Perhaps after all those heart-rending experiences, Victoria would slowly open up to others and try to accept him.

Dwayne figured they had a long future ahead, so he could afford to wait for Victoria.

At the same time, inside a luxurious and exquisite private manor in the eastern suburbs of Moranta, housekeepers dressed in tidy uniforms could be observed walking around the place as they diligently carried out their duties.

The Gothic-styled and lavishly decorated master bedroom gave the impression of a palace from the realms of fantasy, magnificent and romantic.

A slender and graceful figure leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window.

That woman wore a long red dress and stood barefooted on an expensive carpet.

Her thick, long, and curly hair hung freely on her back. The grand interior design of the room accentuated the elegance and refinement of her figure as she exuded a mysterious and forbidding aura.

She was the matriarch of that manor.

All the tycoons from the business world would politely address her as Mrs. Gezmond.

Her name was Wendy Hoffman. She was a wealthy lady born in a prominent, highly affluent family from Adrune.

Six years ago, she married LG Corporation's owner, Mr. Gezmond, raising her status further as one of the most honorable women internationally.

At that moment, she was frowning at the darkened screen of a phone. She parted her lips and muttered, “That was so weird. We were engaged in a conversation. Why did she suddenly fall silent and hang up the call?”

Amidst her mumbling, a click sound suddenly rang inside the spacious room.

She instinctively turned to look and saw the bathroom door was opened, then a tall man emerged.

He was a man from Aploth with delicate facial features. His brows were neatly trimmed, and his nose

aquiline-shaped. He had a set of thin lips, a narrow chin, and a chiseled jawline. As a whole, his face was flawless.

That man was very handsome. His every move highlighted his gracefulness and sophistication.

He was wearing black pajamas with his belt undone.

Large beads of water rolled down his muscular and tanned chest, causing him to radiate a seductive manly vibe that could make any woman lose their mind.

Wendy gulped and said hoarsely, “Nell, are you testing my patience, or should I say, are you trying to seduce me?”

Lionel was momentarily dazed before realizing there was another person inside the room.

After his gaze swept past her face, Lionel subconsciously reached out to fasten his belt.

As he worked on his belt, he uttered in his deep and magnetic voice, “Did I not ask you to wait in the living room? Why did you come upstairs?”

Wendy chuckled and waved the phone in her hand. “Someone called you. I wanted to bring the phone to you so you could answer the phone, but I saw you were showering, so I picked up the call in your stead.”

Lionel appeared unfazed as he asked casually, “Who called?”

“The number is not registered in your contact list.”

With that, she tilted her head in perplexity and said, “Did you not set your phone number as a private line that disallows unknown numbers to contact you? How did that number earlier get through?”

Slightly taken aback, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “What is the number?”

Wendy repeated the number to him.

At that instant, a hint of an inexplicable look flashed across Lionel's dark eyes, but he swiftly recollected himself and feigned nonchalance the next moment.

“She was asking for Mr. Gezmond, so I think she should be your acquaintance, right? And you even specifically allowed that number to be connected to your line. Is she an old friend of yours?”

“You're overthinking this matter.” Lionel picked up a pair of slippers from the shoe rack and strode up to her. He said, “Although the floor is layered with carpet, it is still cold. You should never walk around the house barefoot next time. Do you hear me?”

She pouted and reminded him, “You haven't answered my question. Is this woman an old friend of yours?”

Instead of replying to her, he slowly crouched down on the floor and gently lifted her tender and slim ankle before helping her put on the slippers.

After that, Lionel straightened himself and said to her, “I'm going to get changed now. Then, I'll bring you and Yonathan to have our meal outside.”

Wendy slightly narrowed her eyes as she watched his leaving figure disappear into the changing room. She murmured, “He has never avoided answering my questions since I've known him for so many years. He's been dodging and refusing to respond to my many questions today. Are there more unknown stories behind this issue?”

The following day was the day Bailey would perform a craniotomy on Glen.

All the media in Hallsbay received the news. As a result, many reporters had camped outside the Chivers residence early in the morning, hoping to be the first ones to receive the latest information.

The reporters were not the only party there. Many citizens had also hurried over to spectate the occasion.

After all, that was a significant matter involving the first surgery performed by Anonymous following her reappearance. Therefore, that operation garnered significant publicity.

Moreover, no one dared to accept that procedure previously because none of the other doctors had the confidence to assure success. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

The public wanted to see if Anonymous was capable of achieving the miraculous feat and saving Glen's life.

Outside the operating room, almost every member of the Luther family and Chivers family were present.

Yoel held Bailey's arm and uttered solemnly, “Ms. Jefferson, I'll be leaving my father in your care. You must try your best to secure his life. If this surgery is successful, you'll be the Chivers family's savior,

and I will not interfere further in your relationship with Edmund.”

Artemis, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes.

He did not fancy listening to Yoel's statement.

Edmund chuckled. “Father, stop pressuring Bay. She will undoubtedly put forth her best effort. However, the outcome of this surgery will have to depend on Grandpa's fate.”
