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
As Yasmine finished speaking, Dr. Clements and the lady exchanged a glance.Dr. Clements felt suspicious of the newcomer. "If Hines Hall's medical skills are inadequate, they should just admit defeat. What's with this new approach, and besides, you're not even from Hines Hall. Why are you causing trouble here?"He faced the crowd and said, "Hines Hall was all about showmanship and lacking in medical skills. Now, I am going to prove to all of you the true capabilities of our Giles Pharmacy!"As the silver needle was about to fall on the old man's head, Yasmine acted swiftly and grabbed the opponent's wrist, bending it backwards. The silver needle fell into her hand and then pierced the neck of the noblewoman.Everyone let out a cry of astonishment.The lady hesitated and couldn't find the words to say, as she shook Dr. Clements' arm, pleading for help.Yasmine crossed her arms and watched the lively scene. "Let's try this approach to see who
Yasmine took Layne to the supermarket and bought fruits, vegetables, meat products, and snacks.When queuing to pay, the two people in front were talking."My aunt was a servant in the Russell family. I heard that his condition has worsened again, and he has become particularly insane. The Maddox family is now secretly searching for a miracle doctor to treat him!""Didn't we agree on this before?""It seems like I was stimulated again.""Ah! What a pity! The once successful business tycoon has turned into a madman!""But he was really affectionate too, considering what his wife had become!""Yeah, I envied his wife so much. It was worth dying to marry a man like him."Yasmine couldn't help but listen a little more to their conversation when she heard the name 'Russell'. It sounded like this Russell was quite affectionate.Would someone so deeply affectionate and loyal be someone who would stop at nothing?Yasmine
The soft touch came, and both Yasmine and Russell froze, as if the scene had paused.Russell closed his eyes and felt a familiar sensation. His breathing became heavy as he wanted to continue touching, but Yasmine turned her head away.Her heart raced, and she abruptly pushed the man away.Russell took two steps back, stood there in a daze, and stared straight at the middle-aged woman in front of him.Roland and Brent ran over and witnessed such a magical scene.Russell was no longer irritable, instead he stood there like a guilty elementary school student, looking blankly.Roland's mouth twitched, "How did you manage to do this?"Brent was also surprised, "Mr. Mendoza, the miracle doctor you brought is simply incredible! Mr. Russell has actually calmed down!"Roland approached Russell and was pushed aside by him.Following the man's gaze, he discovered that Russell was actually looking at Yasmine.What's going on
Yasmine was initially startled, and then began to struggle.The more she struggled, the tighter the man bound her."Russell, let go of me, this is not right!" Yasmine said in a low voice.Suddenly, a wet cloth was placed on her neck, and she stopped moving.The suppressed sobbing of the man could be heard, without the heart-wrenching wailing and howling, just this low weeping that made one's heart ache.Russell was crying, he cried."Zoey, Zoey, you came back, you finally came back. Do you know how much I missed you? Without you, I really couldn't go on living."Yasmine clenched her fists tightly, why did her heart ache so much?Why did she have an impulse to hug him?It must have been because he loved his wife so much that she was moved.That's not right!Derrick had also done some touching things before, such as braving the pouring rain to personally buy stomach medicine for her, and jumping into the icy
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
Zoey knelt on the bed, looking beautiful with her eyes and eyebrows.The wedding dress complemented her porcelain white skin, making her even more delicate and alluring.The wedding dress was embroidered with intricate and complex patterns of gold and silver threads, with the golden phoenix appearing as if it was breaking through the clouds and soaring high, exuding a vibrant and luxurious aura.The hair crown on her head was somewhat heavy, all made of pure gold, with red gemstones embedded on it.Zoey held up the hem of her skirt with both hands and stretched out her feet, saying, "It's time to find me some shoes.""Are you in a hurry to marry me?"Zoey glanced up at the crown on her head and said, "It really felt a bit heavy."Russell got up and placed both hands on the bed, "Where were the shoes placed?""Just put it in..."Zoey was about to speak when Madeleine walked over and said, "The proper procedures still need
Carolyn looked at Russell with anticipation, she swore that this time she would never call him "uncle" again!Russell cleared his throat and said, "Sister-in-law!"Carolyn nodded heavily, "Okay, Russell!"She covered her mouth with her hand, she was extremely excited.She finally got it right once, it was really not easy.At the previous wedding, she called the wrong name and felt upset for a long time.This time, we could finally hold our heads high and breathe a sigh of relief!Russell asked, "Can you please ask Carsen to be lenient and let me pass smoothly?"Carolyn looked at Carsen and then blinked her eyes. "Since you didn't make things difficult for Carsen when he proposed, he naturally won't make things difficult for you."Carsen: "..."He made Carolyn come as if it was a mistake.He looked at Royce and Brodie with a helpless expression, "My wife has already spoken, you guys come."At that mom
A number of luxury cars were parked in front of the villa. Russell got out of the leading Phantom, and then he also carried Layne down.A big one and a small one stood there, looking up in the direction of Zoey's room."Mom, come quickly! Layne is watching me!" Evelin jumped up happily, with two little pigtails on her head tied with colorful bells, making cheerful and crisp sounds as she bounced.Leanna, Madeleine, Carolyn, and Nancy stepped forward, looking at the lively scene on the lawn below.In Woodmerrow in May, the weather was already warm, and the green grass was sprouting. The luxury cars and handsome men were truly pleasing to the eye.Leanna cut in, "Russell, the cunning old fox, brought Layne along, wanting to smoothly pass through the level."Madeleine looked shrewd, "That's impossible, how could Royce, Brodie, and Carsen just easily and happily take Zoey away from us?"Carolyn was not one to shy away from drama. "Even if
May 20th was a joyful day for Russell and Zoey.The wedding was five years late, and although there were regrets, it was ultimately successful.The Keller's manor and the Maddox's manor were forty minutes apart, a duration that Russell found particularly long. He was eager to meet Zoey and couldn't wait for those forty minutes to pass.Layne, who was supposed to be by Zoey's side, was taken away by Russell.Russell said to Layne, "Because you were a boy, you had to be with dad."Layne shook his head in disbelief, "You just use me as a scapegoat, you were worried that they wouldn't let you in."Russell pressed his brow, now seemingly nothing could deceive him.However, Layne still comforted him, saying, "After all, you are my father, and I want to make sure you marry my mother!"Alright, this son still sided with him.Layne changed into a black suit, with a small bow tie neatly tied around the collar of his white shirt, l
In the dressing room, Zoey took off the intricate accessories from her head and glanced back at Russell, who was tidying up his suit."Nancy was so pitiful, how could Dalton ignore her like that?"Russell hesitated for a moment and said, "I went to talk to Dalton, misunderstandings can be easily resolved."Zoey frowned, "But Nancy didn't want us to get involved in this matter, is she planning to leave?"Russell pursed his lips and walked behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "We'll see how things go. If they love each other, being together will bring happiness. But if they don't, being together will only be a torment. Let's just let things take their course."Zoey scolded him, "What if I wanted to leave?""Then I would pester relentlessly.""You kept pestering, yet you let Dalton go with the flow?" Zoey was puzzled.Russell sighed lightly and reached up to touch her earrings. "I let us go with the flow. As for Dalton, he
