《A Fleeting Moment, an Endless Distance》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

When Whitney Sands and her best friend arrived at the scene, the noisy hall turned quiet instantly. Everyone was afraid that Whitney would lose her temper and inflict innocent bystanders. After all, they were aware of how bad her temper was.Whitney was the heiress to the Sands and was brought up pampered. She was spoiled, stubborn, and could never accept any mistakes. She would constantly create a huge public commotion over something she did not agree with. Henry Jordan frowned at the sight of Whitney. "Are you following me, Whitney? Didn't you claim to no longer care about me? Why did you secretly follow me if that's true? I explained to you before that Lexie and I are…""I know that you've fallen in love with Lexie Fontaine, who was meant to be my replacement when I was in a coma for three years, and I know that you have a child with her," Whitney interrupted him with a small smile. "You want her to abort the baby, but she escaped from the hospital instead to give birth to it.

"Whitney!"Before Whitney passed out, she saw Henry running toward her and picking her up from the ground, holding her in his arms. He looked scared and anxious, but Whitney no longer felt anything for him.When she woke up next, Whitney heard a woman crying beside her. "You don't need to do this, Henry. Patrick might be your son, but Mrs. Jordan is the woman you love. It must hurt for you to torture her like this.""Don't be silly. I won't let anyone who hurts our son get away so easily, and that includes Whitney. She may be the woman I love, but she's not allowed to do anything like this."Whitney opened her eyes, feeling thirsty and her throat still throbbing with pain. She did not look at Henry, but at the nurse standing at the side. "Can I trouble you for a glass of water?""You're awake, Whitney." Henry immediately took the glass of water from the nurse's hand when he heard her voice, and he held it to Whitney's lips. However, she refused to let him feed her the water, and s

"Alright. I'll drink them." Lexie started drinking one glass after another."She's really drinking everything for this little money?" Summer rolled her eyes. She was about to continue giving Lexie trouble when Lexie suddenly threw up blood."Pfft!"Whitney was covered with splats of blood. She frowned and was about to ask if Lexie was feeling fine when someone dashed toward Lexie from outside. "Lexie! What happened to you? Don't scare me!"Henry held Lexie in his arms while sweeping a glance at the empty bottles on the table. "How can you let her drink? Do you know that Lexie suffers from gastric perforation and can't take any alcohol, Whitney? Come on, Lexie. I'm taking you to the hospital right now."However, Lexie refused to leave. She reached her hand out to Summer instead. "You promised me… You said you'll pay me a thousand dollars if I finish the drinks on this table."Summer was taken aback. She did not expect Lexie to still want to claim the money that was promised."I m

When Patrick's condition improved, Henry left the hospital with Lexie.It was on the same day as Lexie's birthday, and he organized a birthday party for her at Blue Jazz. Henry had his hand around her waist when he announced to everyone around them, "Listen up! Lexie is my woman, and no one is allowed to bully her!""We wouldn't dare to bully your woman, Henry!""I promise never to bully her. Order whatever you want today, Lexie. It's your birthday! Everything is on me!""We won't bully her for sure, but the same can't be said about that group over there." The person who said this pointed in a direction with his chin, and everyone turned to look at the group seated not far away.The group consisted of beautiful women who were all outstanding beauties and known heiresses in the upper social circle. Someone sharp-eyed noticed right away that Whitney, who was part of that heiress group that frequented Blue Jazz, was gone."Henry, I heard that you punished Whitney's best friend to av

Henry did not move after Eva left. Lexie looked as his expression turned increasingly dark and started to panic. She did not expect Henry to find out about this so soon, but so what if Henry knew that she was involved with what happened?"Get someone to look into this."The others quickly talked him down when they felt tension in the air. "Stop thinking about this, Henry. It's Lexie's birthday today, and she hasn't even cut the cake yet. You should be having more drinks!""It's probably not true that Summer Thompson lost her right arm. Why haven't any of us heard a thing about something so serious?""Even if her arm had been bitten off, she could have reattached it. Those women must be trying to stop you from celebrating a happy birthday with Lexie by killing the mood."Lexie did not dare say a word when Henry's friends were trying to cheer him up. All she did was watch quietly because she knew that the more she said, the worse it would be for her. The best thing to do was to stay
