Chapter 31 A Sudden Call
"Are you still going to keep your five sons in the dark?" Dr. Channing sighed.
Wilson didn't answer. Instead, he changed another topic, "Where is Lemuel?"
"When I got downstairs this morning, I saw him going to the company. Mr. Wilson, you have kept your
cancer as a secret for three months. Are you still going to keep them in the dark?"
"Just keep them unknown. It would be better for them to know nothing about it." Wilson coughed and
then asked, "Where is Miss Moore?"
"I heard that she got another job."
Wilson nodded and looked at the infusion bottle, "Stop the infusion when this bottle is empty."
"But Mr. Wilson, you still have three bottles left."
"That's it for today. Tell the butler to call both Lemuel and Miss Moore and make them come back
before dinner. Besides, please get something for me."
"My pleasure."
Wilson waved his hand to beckon Dr. Channing to come over. As he bent over, Wilson whispered to
him with low voice. Only both of them could catch the talk.
Suddenly, Dr. Channing was rendered stunned, "Mr. Wilson, why do you ask for that medicine…"
"Stop asking. Just get prepared. I have a plan!" Wilson interrupted/
Though Dr. Channing was still quite confused, he knew that he shouldn't ask further. So he nodded and
left.

Clare was wearing a sexy red dress with a luxurious fur coat while stepping on a pair of red high heels
to change her charming pose in the shooting site.
She was shooting an ad for a pair of upcoming high heels of Costop.
Eden was standing in front of her while holding a camera to look for a nice angle to shoot. His
handsome face looked focused and attentive.
When he was working, he looked so different. But he still remained charming the same as usual.
Verena was staring at her. When noticing that his face still looked pale, she bit her lips and suddenly
ran away.
As the flashes kept sounding, they didn't stop until half an hour later when it reached dinner time.
A crew member was dispatching boxed meal to everyone here.
Eden sat down and opened the boxed meal. He picked up chopsticks but suddenly stopped. Then he
asked a crew member beside, "Where is Miss Moore?"
"Perhaps she went to the lady's room." The crew member was still eating with his head burying into the
box while answering.
At the same time, Verena rushed over with a thermal container.
Eden looked at her surprisedly when seeing her ruddy face. Verena kept murmuring that the container
was hot and hurried to run to his side. Then she opened the container, "I notice that you still look a bit
sick. So I get some ginger tea for you. Just drink it."
Eden looked at her and took the thermal container. Then he handed her a boxed meal, "Time for
dinner!"
"Okay!" Verena smiled brightly and then sat down beside him, "The ginger tea might taste pungent."
Eden blinked his eyes and then drained all the ginger tea.
Verena hurried to hand him the boxed meal, "Have some food to dissipate the pungent taste."
Eden smiled and picked up a chicken. But he didn't eat it. Instead, he put it in her box, "You should eat
more. You are too thin."
Verena was rendered blush and said gratefully, "Thank you!"
Her phone rang suddenly.
Verena smiled awkwardly and then picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Miss Moore, Mr. Wilson needs you to be back right now!" the butler said. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"But I am still working Now!"
"Miss Moore, Mr. Wilson said that you must be back right now! You should know what he means."
Before Verena could utter again, the butler hung up the phone.
Of course she was aware that she was left no choice. However, it was her first day to work and it hadn't
reached off work time yet. What should she do?
Eden seemed to notice that, "You have something urgent to deal with at home?"
"Yes." She answered vaguely, looking a bit evasive.
"Let me drive you home."
However, she hurried to refuse, "No, thanks."
When seeing his surprised look, Verena noticed herself that she was overreacting. So she hurried to
explain, "You still have a shooting later, right? Don't get your work retarded. I can leave myself."
"It's hard to hail a taxi here. Neither is here any bus stop. Let me take you down the mountain, okay?
Let's go."
Though his words sounded warm, it also sounded domineering.
Seeing that Eden had started to walk outside the venue, she bit her lips and hurried to follow with her
bag.
Eden walked over to his silver Ferrari parked on the roadside. He opened the door and got in after
Verena hopped in.
Suddenly, he bent over and hugged her in his arms.
Her heart kept beating out of control instantly. Her body was also rendered stiff.
Even her breath turned to be timid.
He was so close to her that she could clearly see his dense and curly eyelashes and also his perfect-
looking face. She could smell the light fragrance from his body.
It smelt like the fragrance of shower gel and also a kind of shampoo. It was a kind of light and natural
fragrance. She felt good about it.
But her heart was beating faster and faster. She almost couldn't control herself. She licked her dry lips
and asked nervously, "What are you doing?"
"I am fastening the safety belt for you."
"I can do it myself!" Verena hurried to say and reached out her hands to touch the belt.
Eden ignored her words and grabbed her hand hard to move it away, "Don't move! It will be done
soon."
Her face went blushed as she felt his body heat and care. So she just waited for his disposal.
After fastening the safety belt, he straightened up his body to look at her, frowning, "You face looks
blush."
"Really?" she hurried to turn around and kept fanning herself, "Don't you feel hot? I feel so hot here!"
Eden looked at her while holding the steering wheel.
Her face went even more blushed. She felt so shy when noticing his gaze, "Come on, don't look at me!
Aren't you going to drive? Let's go!"
Eden smiled and shifted his gaze off her. But he looked a bit different.
Verena took a deep breath and tried to hold back her embarrassed feelings. She coughed and tried to
enliven the atmosphere.
"Eden, do you want to hear a joke?"
"Okay." He answered and kept driving attentively.
"One day, a loaf of bread was walking down the street. He felt hungry so he ate himself."
