Yasmine asked Layne, "Does it hurt?"
Layne shook his head, "It didn't hurt. Mom, please put me down quickly. Holding me like this, you will get tired."
Yasmine was extremely heartbroken. Layne, the sensible child, had already surpassed the maturity level expected for someone of their age.
"This can prevent you from getting blisters. When the ambulance arrives, the medical staff will apply some ointment to you, and then we can go to the hospital for treatment."
Because of the cold-water treatment, Layne was still very cold, and soon her lips turned pale.
The waiter ran over and said, "Madam, the ambulance has arrived. The boy's mother and father have also come."
Yasmine nodded slightly and turned around, carrying Layne, walking towards the outside.
The waiter turned on the tap and followed immediately.
The restaurant gathered many people, including the boss, waiters, and people who came to dine and watch the excitement.

Derrick parked the car downstairs at Kemp Apartments and shook out a cigarette from the pack, lighting it up.After quietly finishing smoking, he got out of the car and raised his eyes to look up, his gaze indifferent.I knocked on the door upstairs, and Liberty was pleasantly surprised.She didn't expect Derrick to come and see her and her son so soon. Her lips curled into a smile, "Derrick..."Derrick walked straight into her and bumped her shoulder. Liberty stumbled backwards, feeling the anger emanating from the man and sensing something was amiss.She closed the door and followed him upstairs.Snap!Liberty was knocked down to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She looked at the man who had turned around and hit her in disbelief.She followed him for seven years, and he had never laid a hand on her. Today, he unexpectedly hit her.She questioned hysterically, "Derrick, I have been with you for
The plane was about to land, and the flight attendants reminded the passengers to prepare for disembarkation.Layne woke up because of the medication's effect.He rubbed his eyes and looked out of the window, "Mom, where have we arrived?""Lochcliff, Woodmerrow.""Mom, is this taking me on a trip?""Yes, let's go on a spontaneous trip, just the two of us."Layne was puzzled, "Why was there no dad?"Yasmine raised her hand and gently tousled his soft hair. "Layne, even though you were still young, Mommy has to tell you a fact."Layne's expression immediately became serious, "Okay."Yasmine whispered in his ear, "Derrick was never your father."Layne quickly covered her small mouth, looking incredulous.Yasmine knew what the little one was thinking, and she smiled, "You have a dad, it's just that mom doesn't remember who he is anymore. You must never contact Derrick, understand? If he captures us all, we will
The icy cold seawater enveloped Yasmine, and a strong sense of suffocation came over her.She opened her eyes and everywhere was pitch black, the salty and icy seawater stung her eyes intensely.Her lower abdomen also felt waves of pain, as if reminding her not to give up and to keep going.Just to survive, things or people that seemed important to her would be threatened.She could only close her eyes and let herself sink into the deep sea, as if she could finally find relief.But her heart hurt, hurt so much.She really missed someone!Suddenly, the sound of an explosion was heard.The aftermath of the explosion rushed towards her, and she instinctively protected her abdomen, sinking deeper into the deep sea.The aftermath hit her, and she felt soreness in her limbs, gradually losing strength.Before losing consciousness, she felt a tightness around her waist, and someone was taking her upwards...Yasmine
Yasmine woke up naturally after a good night's sleep, but when she opened her eyes, she didn't see Layne.She sat up abruptly and shouted, "Layne?"No one responded to her, so she immediately got out of bed and ran out.Suddenly, there was a burnt smell filling the living room. She ran into the kitchen and saw Layne kneeling on a stool, waving a spatula in his hand.Yasmine couldn't help but laugh, but she also felt a pang of sadness as she softly called out Layne's name.The little one turned around and let out a slightly embarrassed chuckle, "Sorry, Mom, I burnt the eggs.""It's okay, you did a great job," Yasmine said as she walked up and took the spatula from his hand, lowering him to the ground."I'll fry the eggs," Yasmine looked at him, "Have you washed up?"Layne nodded, "I had already washed up.""Okay. After we had dinner, Mom took you to go shopping at the supermarket."Layne's eyes lit up, "Great! Alth
Yasmine looked in the direction pointed by Layne.A man wearing a dark blue silk pajama sat on the fence, his figure dejectedly gazing ahead.During this period of time, there were many cars on the bridge, but there were very few people.Yasmine couldn't ignore it, let alone with Layne still around. If she were to leave with the child at this moment, she would definitely be seen as a cold-hearted mother in Layne's eyes.She put down the bag in her hand and said, "Layne, Mom will take a look, you wait here."Layne nodded, "Mom, you must save that uncle, he looked so pitiful."Yasmine nodded solemnly, "Okay."She walked up cautiously and said, "Hey! Are you okay?"The man heard the woman's voice, and his body first froze for a moment, then he quickly turned his head and looked, "You're speaking!"The man had distinct facial features, although he appeared somewhat thin. His eyes were deep and mysterious, with a hint of aggr
Yasmine turned around and saw Russell standing under the streetlight, staring at her with his eyes fixed on her.She took a deep breath. Didn't she go to the police station?How did this manage to catch up with us?The taxi window rolled down and the driver shouted, "Miss, this guy here says you're his wife and insists on finding you. He even threatened to kill me if I don't keep up with you! I really have no choice! Goodbye!"After speaking, the driver rolled up the car window and quickly ran away.Layne frowned, "Mom, I wished for success at Kurse Bridge? But dad was a crazy dad, what should I do?"Yasmine couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. She looked at Russell and said, "I wasn't your wife, you've mistaken me for someone else. Stay right here, I'll call the police to come and pick you up."After saying that, she quickly walked into the apartment building while holding Layne. She turned around and saw that the man had als
Although Dr. Z is no longer in Hines Hall, it is still bustling with people, after all, those medicinal herbs are extremely rare and precious.After Yasmine and Layne got out of the car, they walked into Hines Hall and saw an elegant lady in her fifties shouting loudly."You old man, selling herbs at such high prices, do you want to take the money with you to the grave?"Octavio hummed, "There is a reason why medicines are expensive. Medicinal herbs are naturally scarce, difficult to harvest, require high transportation and preservation standards, and also face issues such as spoilage. If you don't want to buy, go to another store and don't cause trouble here!"The lady crossed her arms and exclaimed, "Hines Hall was a rip-off!"Octavio laughed and said, "Ripping off customers? Whether you like it or not, Hines Hall forced you to make a purchase?""Aren't you afraid that if you sell it at such a high price, nobody will buy it?"Octavi
There is a street between the two pharmacies, but their business conditions are completely different.Giles Pharmacy originally thought that without Dr. Z, business at Hines Hall would plummet, but he did not expect that business would continue to be as good as ever.Giles Pharmacy was about to give up, after all, they couldn't get hold of those rare medicinal herbs.They once wanted to bribe the librarian of Hines Hall to find out the contact information of the supplier, but the librarian was very tight-lipped.Seeing that Giles Pharmacy was not able to continue operating, they staged a play in an attempt to force Hines Hall to close down.Two pharmacies set up tables and chairs in the nearby small square.Hines Hall dispatched Octavio, who was the senior brother of the miraculous doctor Roderick. Although his medical skills were not as profound as Roderick's, they were still extraordinary.The person dispatched by Giles Pharmacy was
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
