Murray stood in place and did not speak. After hearing Ryleigh’s words, he slightly leaned back.
Ryleigh lowered her head and slowly walked out. When she passed by Murray, her heart was beating very fast, and she did not dare to look into his eyes.
All of a sudden, Ryleigh’s face turned pale. When she was about to reach the door, she closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
"Ryleigh, Ryleigh!"
Murray quickly reached out and hugged her. When he saw that she was lying in his arms with a pale face, and did not respond after he called her na a few tis, he carried her horizontally and walked out of the ho office.
When Ryleigh woke up again, she was already lying on the big bed in the bedroom, covered with a quilt, and Murray was walking towards her, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
When Murray saw her, the tension in his eyes finally eased and he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Ryleigh." Murray walked to the bedside table and put the cup on it. He helped Ryleigh sit up and stuffed a pillow behind her.
"You’re awake. How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?" Murray’s voice was very gentle. "I just found a doctor to check your condition. He said that this was the residual effect. You have not fully recovered, and you can’t overwork yourself."
Ryleigh looked at Murray pitifully and subconsciously reached out her hand to catch him. Her eyes were watery.
"Murray..."
Seeing this, Murray quickly took out the tissue on the bedside table for her to wipe her tears. "What’s wrong? Why are you crying?"
"I, I..." Ryleigh had a lump in her throat. "I know I have a severe disease. When I was getting better, I asked the doctor. He said that even if I am getting better, there is still a possibility of a relapse. After all, it is a terminal illness... I know I don’t have much ti."
Murray looked distressed and sat closer to Ryleigh. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. "Silly girl, what are you talking about? I will find soone to cure you."
Ryleigh leaned against Murray’s chest and gently shook her head. She looked down and said hesitantly, "Don’t bother, Murray... I know about my body. I only have one wish. Do you still rember the words you said about marrying in the small wooden house when you were young?"
"I rember."
Ryleigh was secretly delighted. She adjusted her emotions and continued, "I just want to marry you and be your wife when I am alive. It is enough to have a short but good ti with you. As for the rest, I have nothing else to ask."
Murray frowned. Just when Ryleigh thought that he would not agree, Murray’s voice ca from above her head.
"Okay, I promise you."
Ryleigh smiled and wrapped her arms around Murray’s waist. "Murray, you’re so nice."
As long as she beca Mrs. Gibson, Sebastian would never be able to do anything to her.
At that ti, would she still need to depend on others? What a joke!
Murray was indeed swift and decisive. The second day after he promised Ryleigh, he took the opportunity to spread the news that he was about to be engaged to Ryleigh.
All of a sudden, the dia widely reported this news. After all, the Gibson family was one of the top business tycoons, and Murray’s marriage was naturally the center of attention.
"Surprise true love! The president of the Gibson Corporation married his childhood sweetheart. What would she do?"
In all kinds of news, when Murray and Ryleigh were ntioned, there was no lack of lissa. When Ryleigh saw the news report, she was very happy.
But so people were not.
For example, Sarah and Claire.
When Claire saw the news, she was naturally extrely jealous. She slamd her phone down and said to Sarah in a very unconvinced manner, "Sarah, Ryleigh is obviously here for Murray’s money! And you can see, she is not the right match for our family. She may have so evil intentions. Murray can’t marry her!"
When Sarah saw this news, she was also extrely angry. She didn’t expect that there would be Ryleigh after finally getting rid of lissa. Now, this wild girl from who knew where ca up and wanted to enter the Gibson family.
"How can a bar singer marry into our family... It’s just a dream!"
Claire took the opportunity to fan the flas and deliberately said to Sarah, "Sarah, I heard that the woman has already moved into Moonlight Mansion. That is Murray’s own house. He let her live there. Doesn’t that an he admitted that she is the hostess there?"
Sarah pursed her lips and looked at her unhappily.
"Let’s go and et her."
When the two arrived at Moonlight Mansion, Claire impatiently walked to the door of the apartnt and kept pressing the doorbell.
"Coming." Ryleigh’s voice ca from inside the door. She opened the door and saw Sarah and Claire standing outside. She wondered who they were.
"Who are you?"
Claire scoffed in disdain and followed behind Sarah.
Sarah looked Ryleigh up and down and said, "I thought the woman my son announced in a high-profile way that he was going to marry was a fairy. I didn’t expect the woman to just look like this."
Claire stood next to Sarah and said arrogantly, "Maybe my cousin just does it on a whim. Sarah, look at her. No matter how you look at her, she doesn’t seem to be a match for Murray."
Ryleigh imdiately understood. This was Murray’s mother and his cousin.
Although she was not convinced, she had to give in. She could only smile and say, "It turns out you are Murray’s mother and cousin. Look at ... I don’t even know. Be seated. I’ll go wash so fruits."
Claire sneered, "Don’t try to get close to . Don’t think that you can be the hostess of the Gibson family just because you hooked up with Murray. Look at yourself. You are daydreaming."
"I’m not here to identify you as my daughter-in-law." Sarah looked at Ryleigh with contempt. "To be Mrs. Gibson, you must be a noble lady. You? Don’t think that I don’t know that you’ve been singing at a bar before. How can a woman from a place like that be clean? Tell , what is your purpose in approaching Murray?"
Ryleigh’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly cald down.
If they thought that just these few words could force her back, wouldn’t they be too naive?
"I didn’t..." Ryleigh even sounded aggrieved. "Mrs. Gibson, Ray and I really love each other. He promised to marry . You... How can you talk about like that?"
Claire frowned even more. She had liked her cousin for so long, but he didn’t even care about her. What right did this poor girl who ca from nowhere have to say that!
She was so angry that she quickly walked over and pushed Ryleigh. "Stop pretending to be pitiful. How can soone like you climb up to our family?"
"Ah!"
Ryleigh was easily pushed to the ground and her hand was scraped . She looked at Claire with red eyes.
At this ti, Murray returned.
When he saw Ryleigh fall to the ground, his expression instantly changed. He quickly went to help her up and squinted at the two won opposite him.
"Why are you here?"
When Claire saw Murray enter, she was also shocked. She tried to explain to him and wanted to prevaricate.
"Murray, Sarah and I saw the news in the newspaper, so we ca over to have a look."
"You don’t have to worry about !" Murray was obviously very unhappy. After he said angrily to them, he then softly cared about Ryleigh.
Sarah’s expression also changed. She and Claire were like outsiders here.
"Claire, it seems that your cousin is very happy to be here. Let’s go!"
