Royce arrived in front of the operating room door and saw Mya sitting on the waiting chair, with both hands covering her face.
He slowed down his pace, and Lothair came up to him.
"Viviana's condition was very critical, and she had already received two death notices."
Royce didn't know why, but he felt very sad.
To be honest, he quite liked the little girl named Viviana. She was very cute and had an interesting way of speaking.
Evelyn saw him coming and immediately approached, "What are you here for?"
Royce noticed her rejection, but he simply said in a low voice, "I heard the child is having surgery, so I came to take a look."
Evelyn thought that he knew about Viviana's background, so he came to question Mya, so his attitude was inevitably a bit hostile.
Hearing the sound of voices, Mya glanced sideways.
The moment she saw the man, her nose felt sour. She didn't expect Royce to come.
Did he know about Viviana's b
Mya lowered her gaze, her voice sounding dull, "What right do I have to care?"Royce held her chin, "I only kissed you, and I only have you."Mya looked up at him and saw sincerity in the man's eyes, "Only me?""Yes, only you, I, Royce, have had only one woman in my life."Mya pursed her lips and said, "So, where is Hailie? Someone said you two were sleeping together just now."Royce explained, "Both she and I were drugged by someone."Mya's face changed suddenly, and her body became tense.Royce laughed and said, "It was a sleeping pill, not that kind of medicine. Even if it was, I could still control myself. The only thing I can't control is you."Mya blushed."Mya, never leave me again in the future, okay?"Mya sniffed, "You really didn't mind me betraying you?"Royce held her close and planted a kiss on her forehead. "I don't mind, you must have your reasons. I'm frustrated because you're timid and afra
Mya looked around and saw a clean and bright room, beautifully decorated in the French style that she loved.She pursed her lips and said, "This was the place where you kept your mistress."Royce knew that he had brought her here before as his lover, so she had some resentment in her heart.It was his fault, he wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate against her and humiliate her.He wanted to see her in pain and discomfort, thinking it would bring him satisfaction, but it didn't.He even thought about proposing to Hailie to provoke her, but when he found out that he and Hailie were lying on a bed, even though nothing had happened, he felt dirty.He was not punishing Mya, but punishing himself.He held Mya's hands and sincerely said, "Mya, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that."Mya shook her head, "It was my fault, I shouldn't have betrayed you.""It was my fault for not doing well enough, for not giving
Royce walked up to the woman and said, "How should I seek revenge? You, and your family, who should I start with?"Monica's pupils contracted, "I switched the results of the paternity test, but it didn't prevent you from recognizing each other, right? I don't know anything about the allergen data, I swear it wasn't me who leaked it."Royce chuckled, "Impeding my recognition, if we hadn't found out ourselves, when would I ever know that I have a daughter, who is going through the torment of illness. It was Hailie who made you do it!"Monica shook her head, "No, it wasn't, it was my own choice."Royce looked at Russell and asked, "Were her family all in Woodmerrow?"Monica widened her eyes and asked, "What are you going to do?"Russell looked towards the door, and a bodyguard walked out, quickly bringing in an elderly couple.Monica saw two people and exclaimed, "Dad, Mom!"Monica's father, Caleb Morrell, walked over and raised h
Royce whispered in her ear, and Mya went from furrowing her brow to relaxing her brow.She nodded, "I agreed."Royce embraced her and kissed her forehead, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let her go."Mya looked up and said, "I wanted to go to the ICU today to see Viviana."Royce nodded lightly, "After we finish breakfast, let's go together."It had been six years since they last saw each other, and Royce's culinary skills had greatly improved. They sat side by side, and he continuously served Mya with dishes.Mya's face was puffed up from eating. "Royce, I couldn't eat anymore.""Have some more to eat, you have lost a lot of weight recently."Mya nodded, "Viviana recovered from her illness, so naturally I had an appetite."Royce said, "If you liked to eat crab yolk buns, I would go buy them."Mya shook her head, "It was too far, don't bother."Royce sighed lightly, "I'm sorry, the things you heard in th
As the words fell, Viviana blinked her sparkling eyes in disbelief."Dad, Daddy?"Royce nodded and smiled gently, "Viviana, I was your father."Viviana thought for a moment and said, "So, Mom, during the time of my surgery, you found a foolish rich man?"Everyone burst into laughter.Royce raised his hand to his forehead, his precious daughter really gave him a lot of joy and surprises.He was quite helpless, "Yes, during the time of your surgery, your mother and father recognized each other. I, Royce, am your biological father, which means I have acknowledged you as my daughter."He held the little girl's soft hand and said, "Viviana, I was your biological father. Do you understand?"Viviana finally understood this time, she was never without a father, her father did not pass away, her father was right in front of her.She sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "Well, even though you're not very smart, you have good looks
Layne entered the ward and saw Viviana lying on the bed, listening to a story."Viviana!"The little girl's eyes lit up, "Layne, you're here!" she said, and she was about to get out of bed.Royce could only put on her shoes and carry her off the bed, "You can't run or jump, understand?"Viviana nodded and walked up to Layne. "Last time Layne came, I wasn't even out of bed yet. This time, I'll take a few steps for him."Layne laughed and said, "You did a great job."Viviana said, "Once I had finished the bone marrow transplant surgery, I would be able to run and jump. Even if I fell and scraped my skin, I wouldn't be afraid anymore."Layne nodded, "I will take you to play with Evelin when the time comes."Viviana asked in confusion, "Who is Evelin?""Evelin was my girlfriend," Layne explained.Zoey: "..."Viviana thought for a moment and straightened out the connections, "So that means he is my younger sibli
Viviana Keller?The little girl smiled, her eyes curved, "Viviana Keller sounds better than Viviana Hayes! I like it!"Royce lifted her up, slightly crouched, and matched Mya's height, with both of them sandwiching Viviana in between, each kissing her cheeks.Viviana laughed happily, her little hands wrapped around the necks of the two people, and she shouted loudly, "I had a dad! I had a name! I was the happiest child in the world!"Mya shed tears, Viviana went through so many hardships, but she could still smile at life.The happiness that children wanted was very simple. It could be an inexpensive toy, a lollipop, and the love of their parents.Not far away, Zoey looked up, trying to hold back her tears.Russell grabbed her waist and asked in a low voice, "Were you moved?""No." Zoey didn't want to be laughed at by the man, so she immediately denied it.Russell nodded and said, "I understood.""What do you unde
After Royce got on the car with Mya, clusters of fireworks bloomed in the sky.He opened the skylight, and Mya looked up. The fireworks were colorful and accompanied her all the way.Fireworks bloomed all the way from the villa to City Hall, a distance of twenty-five kilometers.The whole city was immersed in love, and pedestrians on the street couldn't help but admire.I don't know whose girlfriend, fiancée, or wife is so lucky to receive such love and pampering.Mya covered her mouth, afraid that her crying might ruin the beauty of the fireworks.The car stopped in front of City Hall, and Royce unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to embrace the person.Mya sobbed, "Royce.""I was there, I have always been there.""Thank you.""Silly little fool, don't say thank you to me anymore."Mya shook her head and withdrew from the man's embrace, saying earnestly, "I want to say thank you, thank you for al
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
Nancy was put on a black hood, and her heart was pounding.To be honest, she was very afraid of death now, because she still had a child in her womb.If she were alone, she would never become a burden or a weakness to anyone.As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would try to survive.The car drove for a long time before stopping. Nancy was taken out of the car and was unsteadily pushed towards the inside.Not knowing what she tripped over, she fell to her knees on the ground.She felt a sharp pain, as her arms were supported by two people and she continued to walk forward.It seemed like she had taken a few turns before she was finally put down by someone.Nancy's knee was hurting terribly, but she still stood up straight.Because the eyes couldn't see, the ears seemed to be particularly useful at this time.She heard a woman's voice, to be precise, Susie's voice.She had only met Susie twice, but th
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
