"Don't go."Gilberto's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with a look of grievance.Zoey's wrist, which was being held, felt extremely hot. She whispered, "I won't leave, I'm just going to boil some water and give you medicine later."Gilberto nodded and let go of his hand.He watched as the girl took off her cashmere coat, walked gracefully to the table, and started boiling water.He squinted his eyes, then closed them satisfactorily.Fifteen minutes later, Zoey took the medicine bag handed over by the manager.She walked to the bedside and pulled out an Infrared Thermometer, fever-reducing medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine from the medicine bag.She picked up the Infrared Thermometer and measured her ear temperature, which showed a normal reading. Then she measured Gilberto's temperature and found that he had a temperature of 39℃.She turned around and fetched warm water to cool down. She scooped out a fever-reducing pill and handed it to Gilberto."If you took the fe
Upon hearing this, Zoey's lips tightened slightly, and she walked towards the CEO's office.There was a gap in the office door, and the sound of a woman sobbing could be heard from inside.Zoey pushed open the door and walked in, only to see a woman standing in front of the desk, with her long hair flowing like a waterfall, revealing her fair shoulders. The black stockings under her short skirt were torn, making her look like a broken doll.The man sitting on the leather armchair stood up abruptly when he saw someone approaching.His eyes, which were originally filled with hostility, looked panicked. He stood up, supporting himself with both hands on the table, and said, "Zoey, why did you come?"Zoey walked up to him with a faint smile and said, "I missed you, so I came to see you. What's going on?"Russell looked at the woman, his gaze cold and icy. He was just about to explain when the woman burst into tears."I came to deliver the documents to Mr. Maddox, but little did I know tha
Russell wore a long black cashmere coat, which made his originally pale face even fairer.He glanced at Gilberto's attire, his thin lips slightly curved, his obsidian-like eyes seemingly smiling, "Zoey has something to do, let me accompany you to the hospital."Gilberto nodded slightly and said, "Then you troubled yourself.""Not a problem, you saved Zoey, and we are all very grateful to you," Russell asked, "Can we leave now?""Sure."Russell turned around and walked towards the elevator, and the smile on Gilberto's face instantly disappeared.His eyes were filled with coldness, like a hawk in the dark night, wanting to kill its prey with a single strike.He followed closely behind.In the elevator, two people stood side by side, with similar heights, giving off a strong sense of oppression.After getting out of the carriage, two tall and handsome men walked one after the other, attracting the attention of many people.After getting on the car, Russell glanced at Gilberto in the pass
Russell brought Zoey to the famous old street in Woodmerrow.As the New Year approached, the already bustling old street became even more lively.Zoey looked outside at the street view with some surprise, and then looked at Russell, "How did you come here?""I took you to an interesting place."Zoey searched through her mind for a list of interesting places she had explored. "Making sugar figurines? Pearl diving? Painting oil umbrellas? Antique hunting? Escape rooms? Fruit wine brewery?""None of them were.""..."Russell got out of the car and opened the door for her. He held her hand and walked down towards the direction of the ancient street alley, embracing her."Are you trying to kidnap me, all secretive like that?" Zoey asked, looking up."I wanted to lure you into my heart, where you could never escape."Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, "Why is your mouth so sweet?""Do you want to give it a try?"Zoey laughed out loud and said, "I hate it!"The two of them had a good appearanc
Zoey struggled to open her eyes and saw that Russell had already fallen to the ground.She reached out her hand towards the man, but her fingers were stepped on by a black leather shoe.A piercing pain shot through, causing her to furrow her brow.She wanted to see who had attacked them.But her eyelids were too heavy, and she fell into a coma.In a dimly lit room.The woman knelt beside the sleeping man, her slender fingers caressing the buttons of his shirt, unfastening them one by one."Finally, you were mine."The man suddenly opened his eyes and saw the familiar face of a woman.His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he reached out and grabbed the woman's neck. "Abigail, it's you!"Abigail felt a strong suffocation, she felt like her neck was about to be strangled.She kept slapping the man's hands with both of her hands. When she noticed that the man's grip was getting stronger, she used her nails to dig into the back of his hand and his arm, causing fresh blood to spill
Gilberto supported her shoulder and said, "I had no need to deceive you!"Zoey struggled to push him away, "I don't believe a single word you said!"In the previous life, Russell was so devoted to her. So, it was impossible that he would betray her.Something must have happened. Gilberto's suspicion was very high.Zoey stared at the man warily, "How come it's such a coincidence that you showed up? Russell wants to control someone, and you're the one who can stop him? And Abigail, a woman who harmed her own niece, how could she catch Russell's attention? It must be your conspiracy! What did you do to him?"Gilberto's eyes were hurt. "I know it's hard for you to accept, but what I'm saying is the truth. If I really wanted something bad to happen to you, Russell, why would I have saved you and him in the first place? Wouldn't it be easier to just let you both die? Why go through all this trouble?"This was also the part that Zoey couldn't understand, "Where is my phone?""I was afraid of
Zoey incredulously watched as the man's head kept spinning while he was kissing the woman.Her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe, and her body staggered backwards.If it weren't for Gilberto steadying her, she would have fallen to the ground.Her lips trembled, and no matter what, she couldn't believe that Russell would betray her, betray the feelings between them.In her past life, Russell killed himself for her.In this lifetime, Russell also did his best for her.How did it change so quickly?Zoey couldn't understand, she didn't give up, really didn't give up.She broke free from Gilberto's support and reached out to grab Russell's shirt.The shirt was half torn off, revealing shallow and deep scratch marks on the man's back.The scratches were particularly eye-catching, causing her eyes to sting.Russell looked back, a mischievous smile playing at the corner of his lips."I never knew you had a hobby of watching others being intimate. If I had known earlier, I would ha
Russell eventually accompanied Abigail to the hospital.Dalton was puzzled when he saw Abigail, and he called Russell out while the woman was tending to her wound.As good friends for over a decade, he asked directly, "What's the situation between you and Abigail? And Zoey?"Russell did not want anyone to know or be involved in this matter, after all, Gilberto was an extremely dangerous person.He smirked and said, "As you can see, I fell in love with Abigail, I got tired of playing with Zoey."Dalton couldn't believe he received such a response. "Damn it, Russell, are you crazy? Abigail had poisoned Carolyn. How could you possibly like such a ruthless woman? Zoey is beautiful, kind-hearted, and anyone with a brain would choose her. Are you out of your mind?"Russell didn't mind and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case. He lit it up and took a deep drag, blowing a smoke ring towards Dalton. "Dalton, if you like Zoey, then go after he
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
