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
Not many people knew the password to her house, Zoey's heart skipped a beat as she abruptly stopped crying and turned her head to look back.When she saw the person coming, a bitter smile curved at the corner of her lips.It was not Russell, but Leanna.Thought I was waiting for the one who would return, but it turned out that the one who would return had already become a stranger.Leanna took off her shoes and walked quickly over, squatting down to hug Zoey."Zoey, I would always be there."After Leanna found out about Russell's infidelity online, she immediately returned.She knew that Zoey must have been very, very upset, and she wanted to be by Zoey's side.She didn't say anything, she just held Zoey, who was crying nonstop.After a while, Zoey finally spoke in a low voice, "I spent the whole afternoon looking for evidence of our past love. There is a lot of evidence proving that we were in love. Leanna, you know tha
When Zoey woke up, it was already late at night.She looked at the fluffy head beside her and her lips curved slightly upwards.Leanna once said that men were unreliable, and only best friends were true love.Zoey also joked about fire prevention, theft prevention, and preventing best friends.The only one accompanying her at the moment was her best friend.She glanced at the nearly empty drip bottle, reached out and pressed the button.Although the movement was slight, the sleeping person still felt it.Leanna looked up, still half asleep, and instantly became alert. "Don't move, don't move. I'll call the nurse to remove the needle."Zoey felt a little exaggerated, "It's okay, I might just have low blood sugar, I'm not that delicate."Leanna let go of Zoey's hand and said, "You rest and don't move around."She pressed the bell, and soon a nurse came and removed the needle.Because it was the last round of
Zoey looked at the word "abortion" on the report card and pursed her lips.She did not expect that the child she had with Russell would have this outcome.Leanna looked at her with a reluctant expression and really wanted to say, "Why don't you just stay?"It was just that Zoey spoke first and handed her the form, saying, "The doctor said to pay the fee and help me make an appointment."Leanna could only nod and sigh as she took the list and went to pay, with Toby naturally following along.Zoey sat on a chair in the corridor, with the warm winter sun shining on her, but she felt as if she were in an ice cellar, cold to the bone.She wore a duckbill cap and a mask, covering herself tightly, sitting there in a very desolate manner, and no one recognized her.The hospital was bustling with people, and a young couple caught her attention."Could the child stay?"The man looked impatient, "Do you want me to stay and serve yo
Nancy looked at one portrait after another of Craig, and tears kept falling from her eyes.She held onto those paintings tightly, "Craig, I'm sorry..."If it weren't for her, Craig would have definitely found a beautiful girl, gotten married, had children, and lived a life that followed the usual routine.She was the source of all Craig's tragedies, and she was immersed in deep self-blame.Three days later, Dalton and Russell came back, unfortunately they did not bring Nacy with them.The village experienced a riot, and the villagers fled in all directions. Many people managed to escape, while others were captured by the rebels and sold to various parts of the world. They were too late to leave.It took some time to find Nancy, so they came back first.Dalton noticed Nancy's abnormality and took her for a psychological test, discovering that she had depression.After hearing about this, Zoey still recounted the matter that Nanc
Susie was not surprised to see Nancy, as Emmett had sent someone to deliver a message to her after finishing these tasks.She knew Nancy would definitely come to find her, after all, Nancy's child was gone and Craig was also dead, everything unfolded according to her plan.Originally, she also wanted Nancy to die, but later she changed her mind. The most tormenting thing for a woman is nothing but the inability to conceive again and the tragic death of a former lover.She wanted Nancy to suffer a fate worse than death!Compared to death, the living are the ones who suffered the most!Susie burst into laughter, her face twisted with a wicked and malicious expression, "Do you hate me so much?"Nancy said calmly, "I hated you because you disrupted my peaceful life. However, I must tell you that your plan did not entirely succeed."The smile on Susie's face froze in an instant, "What do you mean?"Nancy faintly curved her lips and
Your own mother?Last words?Difficult to conceive?A series of information overwhelmed Nancy, and she almost couldn't bear it and fell down. The tray in her hand also almost slipped.She closed her eyes, steadied her mind, held the tray, and held onto her last bit of dignity.Taking a deep breath, she turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen, placing the tray on the counter.The servant asked, "Mrs. Jenkins, didn't you bring it up?"Nancy forced a smile and said, "I just tripped on the stairs earlier and spilled some."The servant took a glance and indeed, it was true. She said, "In the future, leave this kind of rough work to us, you take good care and rest."Nancy thanked and said, "It's okay, I will repackage and deliver it again. If I stay at home and do nothing, I will become moldy and grow hair."The servant didn't say anything more, but watched as she filled two bowls of poached snow pear with hone
When Nancy woke up, it was in the middle of the night. She stared at the white ceiling, tears streaming down her face.Upon hearing the suppressed crying, Dalton, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly woke up. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with red veins. "Nancy, Nancy, are you awake?"Nancy looked at him and pointed to her small belly, "Gone, right?"Dalton struggled to force a smile, "There will be more in the future, Nancy. We will have children again in the future."Nancy cried out, "Why did he survive the fire, survive the kidnapping, but couldn't survive that glass of orange juice? Why treat my child like this? What did he do wrong? That glass of orange juice was personally delivered to me by my mother, does she even know?"Dalton was worried about Nancy's postoperative bleeding and quickly grabbed her hand. "She is unaware, Nancy, what you need most now is to recover your body. You must not get emotionally excited, otherwise it can eas
Leanna noticed that Nancy didn't look too well and asked with concern, "Nancy, are you feeling unwell?"Nancy shook her head, "It's nothing, maybe it was just my imagination."Leanna knew that there was tension between Nancy and the Eaton family, so her bad complexion must have been a result of a recent unpleasant encounter with Reina.She didn't think much about it and came to the entrance of the banquet hall with Nancy.Zoey had just finished directing Roland to move the roses when she saw Nancy and couldn't help but ask, "Nancy, you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"Nancy curved her lips, she didn't want everyone to think she was too fussy, so she shook her head."It's okay, I was fine, just a little nervous."Zoey held onto her arm and said, "Today, you were the most beautiful bride in the world, and Dalton was ready to welcome you."Nancy turned around and didn't see Craig's figure.He had promised her befor
Nancy fidgeted with her fingers uneasily, not because she was nervous about her wedding today, but because she had a constant feeling that something was about to happen.Susie seemed to give up her rights easily, even though she was not the type of person who easily gives up.Nancy raised her hand and placed it on her small abdomen. The baby was almost fourteen weeks old, having gone through a fire and being kidnapped, facing numerous hardships and challenges.She hoped to have a peaceful day today.Leanna, noticing Nancy's serious expression, walked over and leaned against the dressing table. "What's wrong, Nancy? Do you have something on your mind?"Nancy pursed her lips and raised her gaze, saying, "It was just an inexplicable feeling of unease."Leanna bent down and took her hand, "Don't be too nervous, Dalton has everything arranged. It's not a big deal if the flowers are a little wilted, Zoey is taking care of it."Just now, Zoe
After Nancy left, Leanna started urging Zoey to go to the hospital.Zoey said to modify Nancy's wedding dress before going, but Leanna couldn't wait and directly messaged Russell, saying that Zoey was feeling a bit unwell in the stomach and asked him to come pick her up.Leanna didn't joke about this kind of thing, Russell didn't even hold a meeting, he drove directly to come.Zoey was unaware of this, and was momentarily surprised when she saw Russell standing at the office door.However, she quickly realized that it must have been Leanna who sent him.Russell asked concernedly, "Why was your stomach feeling uncomfortable? Did you eat something cold or spicy? I was going to take you to the hospital, why were you still toughing it out? If Leanna hadn't messaged me, would you have kept enduring it?"Zoey had not answered the man's question yet, but Russell packed up her bag and was about to take her to the hospital.Zoey pursed her lip
The evidence of Susie's kidnapping and attempted murder is solid, so the Thatcher family came to demand justice, and the highest prosecutor's office in Lochcliff did not release the person.They resorted to threats and temptations, but it was in vain. Susie remained steadfast in her position.Susie's younger brother, Emmett Thatcher, went to see her. The man looked at her disheveled appearance and sneered, "Betrayed by your own people, how does it feel?"Susie looked at the madman in front of her and snorted, "If you came to see me as a joke, then get lost!""Tsk, you may look gentle, but your personality is really terrible. No wonder Randall didn't want you."Susie stared at him and suddenly got up to leave.Emmett laughed and said, "They were fighting for custody of Nacy, not to mention that the people from Lochcliff were quite powerful."Susie got excited and said, "That was my daughter, why did they take her away! Did Randall ask
Susie watched as Zoey and her group looked at her with indifference, and in an instant, she realized that they thought she was setting a trap for Nancy, when in fact, she was the one being lured into a trap.She boasted of her superior intelligence, but now she has fallen into someone else's trap, naturally feeling dissatisfied.She despised Randall, "I treated you well, and yet you sided with them! Why did you treat me like this?"Randall's eyes were cold and indifferent. "It was you who taught others how to treat you! Susie, you see me as a dog, but in my eyes, aren't you just a female dog?"Susie had never been subjected to verbal attacks, and she hated him so much that she suddenly pulled out a silver firearm from the waist of her bodyguard.Before she could pull the trigger, a syringe was shot into the back of her hand.In an instant, her entire arm became numb, and then half of her body followed suit. She couldn't hold herself up and k
