Zoey woke up hungry and realized that Russell was not by her side.
Glancing outside for a moment, the silver moonlight spilled in, gentle and beautiful.
She put on her pajamas and slipped on her slippers as she walked out of the bedroom.
The living room was not lit up, and Russell sat in the wicker chair by the window, smoking a cigarette.
Hearing footsteps, he turned around to look.
Seeing Zoey approaching, he quickly extinguished the cigarette and pressed it into the ashtray.
He reached out his hand towards Zoey and said, "Would you like to sleep a little longer?"
Zoey placed her hand on his palm, allowing him to carry her and sit her on his lap.
She wrapped her hands around the man's neck and said, "You rarely smoke, what's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?"
Russell hooked a strand of her hair with his fingertips and gently twirled it around. "It's nothing, just wondering how to make Lola slip up," he said.
After Zoey woke up, she saw Russell lying on his side, looking at her."Awake?""Um." Zoey snuggled into his arms and closed her eyes. "What time is it now?""Seven fifty."Zoey suddenly opened her eyes, "It's time to get up. Let's go to the hospital later to have Carolyn checked and receive the injection.""Okay. Brodie went early in the morning and said Carolyn's condition was stable."Zoey hummed and jumped out of bed to freshen up, then changed clothes and had breakfast with Russell.After dinner, the two of them went to the hospital.Outside the ICU ward, Braylen and Aubrie saw Zoey pushing Russell towards them, with a smile on their faces.Aubrie excitedly approached and shook Zoey's hand, "Zoey, Brodie and I have seen Carolyn, her complexion has improved a lot. Thank you, Zoey."Upon hearing this, Zoey felt even more guilty in her heart. "Sister-in-law, the whole thing started because of me, and yet you are
Zoey did not have the police interrogate the kidnapper about the robot dog because asking would not have yielded any results.If the robot dog had any issues, it would have definitely been taken care of.The only direct evidence now is Carolyn.Zoey could guarantee that she woke up, but she couldn't guarantee whether she would have amnesia or not, and whether the amnesia was temporary or permanent.She had no idea either.Here, Ariella's mother received a call from Aubrie, expressing her heartfelt gratitude.They transferred the elderly person to another hospital as soon as possible.In the evening, Zoey saw Ariella's grandmother and the Bowman family.After examining the elderly person's condition, Zoey expressed only a 70% certainty because the tumor was exerting significant pressure on the nerves and its location was unfavorable.Stella immediately agreed to let Zoey have the surgery because the experts at Greycoast H
The weather in November became colder and colder, and it seemed that the first snow of this year came earlier.The indoor temperature was warm like spring, completely different from the outside.A thin layer of mist had formed on the window.Russell's slender and clean fingers slid gently, and a corner of the night scene entered his sight.He chuckled lightly and said, "Guess."Royce pursed his lips and uttered two words.After receiving Russell's affirmation, his hand holding the phone was trembling.After a long while, Royce said in a low voice, "I understood," after listening to Russell's words.The phone hung up, and Russell lit a cigarette, quietly pondering, one thing after another, as a bold speculation unraveled a shocking secret from twenty-two years ago.He felt that this was not a coincidence, but a conspiracy.After smoking two cigarettes in a row, Russell finally formed a rough outline of everything i
The Maddox Group, President's Office.Russell was reviewing the documents when the sound of a message coming in on his phone reached his desk.He took it over to have a look, and it was a photograph.The man and woman in the photo were Brodie and Zoey.He glanced and saw an unfamiliar number.Not many people knew his personal number, so the ones who could send him such photos must have had a conflict with him and Zoey.Counting carefully, it is only Nathalie who could do such things.He scoffed lightly, deleted the photo, and blocked the number.This kind of person was not worth his reply, not even a single word.Zoey had previously informed him that she was going to have dinner with Brodie later, as she needed a favor from him, and it was understandable that he wanted to ask some questions while having a meal together.The most important thing was that this man was no one else, so he felt at ease.He sent
An hour later, Dahlia changed her card and called Stella.The other party was just in a state of no answer all the time.I dialed five times in a row, and it wasn't until the sixth call that the phone was answered.Dahlia was furious and shouted, "Why didn't you answer the phone? Do you want your mom to die quickly?"Stella pretended to be very scared, "I didn't hear anything."Dahlia angrily grounded her teeth and said, "I left a blue box in the corner of the utility room. It contained half of the antidote. Go and get it for your mother to take. This way, it could prolong her life."Stella busily said she knew and then proceeded to do as instructed by the other party.Half an hour later, Dahlia called again to ask about Stella's condition.When he learned that the old man's condition had indeed improved, he began to manipulate Stella. "Taking only half of the antidote will accelerate the process of death. In four hours, your m
Zoey examined Carolyn and found that her eyes had a reaction to light.She felt a sense of joy in her heart, Carolyn was about to wake up.She held the girl's hand and said, "Carolyn, come on! You can do it!"Afterwards, she checked on Ariella and her grandmother, expecting that both of them would wake up within three days.She administered injections to several people one by one before leaving the hospital.Just as I walked out of the hospital entrance, I saw a black Bentley parked below the steps.The driver's cabin door opened, and Troy quickly got out of the car, walked around the back of the car, and opened the rear door. He nodded slightly and said, "Madam."Zoey was surprised because Russell said he would wait for her at home, but he unexpectedly came to pick her up."Troy worked hard," she laughed.Troy nodded slightly, "It was not hard, it was expected."Zoey got into the car and the back door was closed.
In the hospital ICU.After seeing Carolyn, Zoey conducted a series of examinations on her to confirm that she could be transferred to a regular ward.Waking up, Carolyn looked a bit confused, which worried Braylen and Aubrie.Aubrie pulled Zoey aside outside the ward and whispered, "Zoey, why do I feel like Carolyn wasn't quite right?"Zoey looked through the small window on the door of the hospital room and saw Carolyn leaning against the head of the bed. "Aunt-in-law, Carolyn might have lost her memory. She can't remember what happened to her, so let's not make her think about it for now.""Will she permanently lose her memory?"Zoey shook her head, "This cannot be determined, we can only take it one step at a time."Aubrie sighed lightly and said, "Even if she lost her memory, it doesn't matter. What's important is that she is still alive, living well and safe."Zoey shook her hand and said, "Don't worry, besides amnesia, Ca
The first thing Carolyn did when she got home was to look for the packaging box and instruction manual of the robot dog.When she took a photo of the serial number to send it to Carsen, a string of unfamiliar numbers came in.Because she was kidnapped, her phone was smashed and lost by the kidnappers. All the contact information was stored in the phone, so she got a new phone and only had a few people's numbers in it.After she picked up, she said hello.A gentle female voice sounded, "Carolyn, it's Lola. Are you at home?"Carolyn recognized the voice as Lola's, but she pretended not to have heard, "Lola?""I was Lola, you know! We used to be good, it seems like you forgot about me."Carolyn sighed, "I'm sorry, I don't remember many people. So, does Lola have something to tell me?"Lola chuckled lightly and said, "Carsen asked you to hand over the packaging box and instruction manual to me, and I will take them home."Ca
Dalton's heart tightened suddenly as Russell fell silent.He subconsciously disagreed in his heart, after all, if Nancy were to encounter any problems, it would be a matter of life and death. He dared not take this risk.If not done so, Susie was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.Susie relied on the Thatcher family. The Thatcher family had their hands in both legal and illegal activities, secretly training assassins and having people specifically assigned to clean up crime scenes for the assassins. Therefore, she felt invincible.Russell came up with this idea because if Susie were to attack again at Lochcliff, he would have a way to detain her.However, the Thatcher family needed someone, and Russell had a way to incriminate her.Dalton remained silent for a long time, "You made me think about it."Russell did not persuade him anymore, because he knew Dalton would consider what consequences would develop if things con
This was the first time the two of them had a peaceful conversation, and it was surprising to see how harmoniously the rivals could get along.Randall chuckled lightly and said, "No need, I couldn't trouble you and Nancy."Dalton didn't like to drink coffee, but today he ordered an iced Americano, which was rare for him. The bitterness made him frown."I don't know how you could drink it."Randall caressed the walls of the coffee cup, "I suppose it was because my heart was too bitter, but after drinking this, it didn't feel as bitter anymore."Dalton looked at the man, who had been disheveled for several days, and without the initial hostility, he unexpectedly felt some sympathy.Randall laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't need sympathy.""Sorry," Dalton looked at him, "Nancy told me about your past. To be honest, if it weren't for those obstacles, you would have built a cozy little home together. I'm quite envious
After they received the certificate, Dalton moved Nancy's luggage from the apartment to his home.When she came back, Nancy had a feeling of things having changed.Although it was still in black and white, the cold tones didn't seem as cold anymore.Indeed, what affects one's emotions is not the environment but rather one's mood.Dalton saw her standing at the entrance and asked, "Why aren't you going in? Is it because you don't like this style of decoration? I was thinking that since you're pregnant, you shouldn't stay on the villa side anymore. Even if the newly renovated one is environmentally friendly, it may still have some odor. I'm worried that your morning sickness will be severe."Nancy couldn't smell pungent odors these past few days, such as garlic, chives, and onions.Dalton felt that this place was closer to his hospital, so if there was an emergency, it would be more convenient for him to rush back. Otherwise, staying at Nancy'
During Nancy's hospitalization, both Eugene and Chelsea came to visit.At that time, they still didn't know about her pregnancy.Chelsea cooked Manhattan clam chowder for her.She sat by the sickbed and fed Nancy.Nancy was very embarrassed, after all, her own mother had never treated her like this."I could do it myself."Chelsea shook her head and said with regret, "I have always hoped to have a daughter, but after giving birth to Dalton, my ovarian function deteriorated and I can no longer have children. When I first saw you, I liked you. You have a dignified and elegant appearance, although you can be a bit cold, but you don't give off an arrogant vibe. I was especially happy when you and Dalton got engaged. I know you both had reservations about the arranged marriage, but I believe you can make it work. Things were going as we expected, Dalton was in a good mood for a while, and he even called us without impatience. I knew your relation
Nancy told Dalton everything about her and Craig.Dalton's expression turned heavy after hearing the news, and he felt a mix of emotions towards Craig.If it weren't for Kolton and Reina's interference, Nancy and Craig would have long become a heavenly couple, and Dalton wouldn't even be in the picture.Craig risked his life to save others before the bus exploded, narrowly escaping death. Later, on the cruise ship, he once again rescued Nancy. If it weren't for Susie's help, he would have also drowned in the sea.Their everyday moments, even without simple kisses, they were able to give their lives for each other.To be honest, Dalton admired Craig while also feeling quite jealous of him.Back then, he had Amiya by his side, so even if Nancy appeared, there wouldn't be any possibility between them.Everything, one can only say, was a twist of fate.Dalton's face became somewhat serious as he looked at Nancy. "Nancy, I respected
Nancy woke up and found herself in the hospital, with a furry head by her side.She recognized that it was Dalton, how was he here?Did he save himself or was he here as a family member to take care?She tended towards the second situation, after all, no one knew about her visit to the gallery last night.However, in any case, she felt that she was not prepared to meet him.Just at that moment, Dalton moved.Nancy immediately closed her eyes.Dalton, with sleepy eyes, sat up and stretched, moving his neck.Last night, he was here guarding Nancy, afraid that she might have any problems.Actually, he could have slept on the nearby bed, but he didn't.He wanted to be closer to her because last night's fire almost took her away.He looked at Nancy's trembling eyelids and knew that she had woken up."Nancy, did you wake up?" Dalton said gently.The person on the sickbed continued to doze, with only
"Nancy!"Dalton discovered that his voice was trembling, and he shouted again, coughing violently afterwards.Nancy had no reaction, and Dalton picked up the person and rushed out.Randall rushed towards the entrance of the gallery, following closely behind.The fire grew larger, and a horizontal beam fell down, blocking their way.The scorching flames were raging everywhere, as if the tongues of fire were devouring everything in their path. The thick smoke made people's eyes water incessantly.Randall stood in front of Dalton and said, "I will charge ahead, you follow me, and Nancy won't get hurt!""Get lost!"Dalton put the person down and prepared to carry them out.Just at that moment, a jet of water came in and extinguished the fire in front of the three people.Dalton grabbed Nancy and rushed out.Because the surrounding people didn't know if there were any people inside, they dialed 119.The a
Russell and Zoey faced each other, lifting the veil, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.He took Zoey's hands.The pupils of the two individuals reflected each other's faces.From past lives to present life and even to future lives, throughout countless generations, they will always be together!The emcee said, "The couple bows three times to each other. With the first bow, the couple holds hands and respects each other like guests, walking together in love and harmony!"Russell and Zoey bowed to each other."Two bows, heads touching, may you have a precious child until old age!"Russell and Zoey listened to the emcee's command. Russell lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Zoey's smooth forehead, and the two of them smiled at each other."Three bows, faces pressed together, happiness and joy forever!"Russell tilted his head and pressed his cheek against Zoey's, whispering softly in her ear, "Zoey, I
Nancy tightened her lips as she heard one after another derogatory remark.Her body trembled slightly, and her fingers curled up.Dalton clicked his tongue and said, "What, did I make you angry? It seems like you really care about this bastard!"Nancy couldn't bear it anymore. She was about to leave, but the man grabbed her wrist."Let go!" Nancy glared at him, unable to speak loudly and could only scold him in a low voice.Dalton sneered, "I just wouldn't let go, what can you do to me?"Nancy swung, not letting go, and raised her other hand to slap the man's face.Because the cheers were too loud, only the people next to it saw it.Alissa frowned as she watched Dalton clutching Nancy's hand. "Dalton, you really have no manners. Not only did you not have a wedding when you got married, but now you're also entangling with your ex-wife after the divorce."She grasped Dalton's wrist and said, "Dalton, we may not be able to
