Mrs. Smith stood up and couldn’t hold back her emotions when she saw Stan. She started sobbing, “The doctor said that the chance for Daisy to wake up is only three per cent… But they said earlier that her condition was good and there was a high possibility that she will wake up. How did it come to this?”
Mrs. Smith wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but her tears kept flowing. “What did Daisy do wrong? Why is fate treating her like this? Can’t it take my life instead?”
Stan comforted her, saying, “I’ve contacted the best medical team in Switzerland. They will come over in a while. Mrs. Smith, please don’t worry.”
Mrs. Smith said mournfully, “Stan, I know you have been worrying about Daisy all this time. You’ve brought in the best medical teams from around the world, and their opinions are mostly the same. Whether the medical team from Switzerland comes or not doesn’t matter anymore.”
“Stan, I thank you on behalf of Daisy, but she can’t continue to hold you back.” Mrs. Smith looked at her daughter on the bed, wiped away her tears, and said, “If Daisy can’t wake up… let it be. Watching her suffer and being exhausted over this past year has drained me.”
Seeing the soaked handkerchief of Mrs. Smith, Stan handed her a tissue and said in a deep voice, “Even if there is only a three per cent chance, I will still try.”

“Daisy is fortunate to be cherished by you. It’s her blessing.” Mrs. Smith sighed.
Mrs. Smith didn’t want to stay in this sorrowful place for too long.
As she was leaving, she said to Stan, “Stan, Daisy can’t wake up, but you have to find your happiness, she will be happy too. No matter which lady from which prominent family you marry, I hope your first child can be adopted into the Smith family.”
“I know it’s embarrassing to say this, but I have no choice. I only had Daisy, and I have health problems, so I can’t have more children.”
Stan didn’t promise or refuse, he said in a solemn tone, “Mrs. Stan, please rest well at home. Nothing will happen to her.”
Mrs. Smith nodded and left.
The maid held Mrs. Smith out of the hospital and into the car. Seeing her still wiping her tears, the maid spoke cautiously, “Mrs. Smith, why did you say those things in the ward just now? You know how much Mr. Stan loves Miss Daisy. What if he really gets married and stops caring about Miss Daisy?”
“I know how much Stan loves Daisy. Even if he gets married, he will still love her.” Mrs. Smith wiped away her tears and a cold smile appeared on her face. “If Stan gets married and has a child, even if the child is adopted into the Smith family, it will still be his own blood. By then, we can use that child to fight for the Laurier family’s wealth.”
Mrs. Smith cursed in her heart, “The Laurier family has
brought great misery upon my daughter. It would be worth it-

The maid, of course, had no idea what Mrs. Smith was thinking and didn’t know how to respond.

ward, and leaned over to speak to Stan, “Mr. Stan, Mrs. Smith has already left.”
“Okay”, Stan replied calmly and looked at the beautiful
woman lying on the bed, nearing death. After a while, he held her hand in his palm.
Her fingers were distinct and bony, and they were cold.
He placed her hand on his forehead, feeling exhausted both physically and me ntally.
Over the past year, he had listened to reports from doctors from different countries, and his hope had gradually dwindled until there was none left.
He was tired, but Mrs. Smith, the mother of Daisy, was even more exhausted because she had lost her only daughter.
Recalling what Mrs. Smith had said earlier, Stan softened.
If Daisy never woke up, he could take care of her and her family for the rest of his life. But Mrs. Smith hoped for a child as a companion, hoped for someone to rely on.
A child…
Stan held Daisy’s hand tightly, and the face of the charming and beautiful Elsa flashed through his mind.

Elsa had slept for less than four hours. She forced herself to get up when the clock rang, feeling unwell. She washed up and dressed up. As she entered the living room, the scent of eggs greeted her.
“You are such a virtuous woman!” Elsa praised as she rushed to the dining table and couldn’t wait to start eating.
Cherry came out of the kitchen holding a bowl of porridge. Seeing Elsa wolfing down her food like a hungry wolf, she’ looked disgusted. “Look at you, you are so slo ppy. I should take a picture and post it online. Your fans would be shocked.”
“Hey, it’s early in the morning. Watch your words,” Elsa took the porridge from her.
It wasn’t too hot, and it tasted just right.
Cherry pulled out a chair and sat down, urging, “Take it easy, tell me, how did you punish Ryan and Erin last night?”
Elsa came back very late last night, so Cherry didn’t ask her.
Now, Elsa was annoyed by her nagging, so she ate while telling Cherry everything that happened last night, including Erin being slapped by Mr. Hardy while everyone watching.
Cherry clapped her hands and exclaimed, “Top bad I wasn’t there. It would have been even more exciting to witness it! But Stan is Erin’s uncle. You bullied his niece, yet he just watched…”
Cherry was quite puzzled, but when she caught sight of the h ickey on Elsa’s neck, she understood right away. She elongated her tone, “You slept with him again?”

“It’s because I was satisfied with the sports car that he gave me.” Elsa snorted, though her face looked unnatural.
What else could she do?
At that time, she was about to run away. But who knows what Stan might have done to her secretly? It was better to go up and act spoiled with him, ensuring her own safety. Besides, it was not like she hasn’t slept with him before.
“Really? I don’t believe it,”
“Whatever!” Elsa rolled her eyes at her.
The sports car was expensive and eye-catching, but Elsa wasn’t foolish enough to drive it to work. Instead, she drove. Cherry’s Beetle.
The Beetle was an old model from three years ago, and its various functions were now heavily outdated. Elsa didn’t enjoy the driving experience, but she said, “We’ll go to the car dealership another day, and I’ll buy you a car.”
“No, I’m fine with this one,” Cherry refused. “If you don’t like it, drive your own car next time!”
Elsa’s lips curved up playfully. “Who gave you this car? It must have a story behind it.”
“No. Just drive, will you?” Cherry retorted impatiently, her ears turning red as she looked at the bobblehead doll on the car window.
After arriving at the company, Elsa and Cherry went their separate ways to their respective departments.
After Elsa had greeted her colleagues and, as she approached

her desk to put down her bag, she noticed a box of exquisite chocolates and a delicately wrapped Green Platycodon flower on the table.
The slender and robust stems bore the freshly blooming
Green Platycodon, delicate and captivating, emanating a faint fragrance up close.
Green Platycodon?
Elsa arched an eyebrow slightly. She had received many gifts from fans, including various bouquets, but this was the first time she had received a Green Platycodon.
She took out the card on the chocolates and unfolded it.
“Fortunately, this kind of chocolate is still in production. I hope you like it. – Ryan.”
Knowing that both the flowers and chocolates were from Ryan, Elsa’s expression visibly darkened. She unhesitatingly threw the Platycodon into the trash bin and distributed the chocolates to her colleagues.
“Elsa,” a colleague who had just returned from outside called out to her. “The director wants to see you in his office. He has something to discuss with you.”
“Okay,” Elsa handed her the chocolates. “For you.”
When her colleague saw the brand on the chocolate. packaging, she exclaimed in surprise, “This brand of chocolate is expensive, costing thousands! Elsa, you’re so generous. Thank you!”
“You’re welcome.”
