Anya’s POV:
Although Evan was released, he was restricted from leaving the country until the case was investigated.
At the children’s hospital, the two of us entered the ward one after another.
“Ora, Daddy, and Mommy are here to see you.”
On the hospital bed, Flora had an oxygen tube inserted into her nose. Her little face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
“Daddy, where have you been for the past two days? Why are not you here with me?”
Flora had already completed the first round of chemotherapy. She was so thin that she was nothing but skin and bones.
Evan came to the bed and looked at his daughter gently, “Isn’t Daddy here now?”
Flora blinked weekly and looked at him saying in a childish voice, “Daddy, can you accompany me every day in the future?”
“Of course!” Evan reached out and gently caressed his daughter’s pale face.
Tina’s POV:Now that I had achieved my goal, of course, I didn’t wait to move out.Otherwise, if Evan found out that I was playing tricks behind his back, I wouldn’t know how I die.During this time, Zachary and I had joined hands with each of us having our ulterior motives. We had already broken through the line between men and women and made love together.Zachary took me to visit the place he had found for me.“How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?” He asked.It was a small villa complex. It was top-notch residents, but it was still a high-end residence.I looked around at the decoration of the Villa and smiled. “It’s not bad.”He hugged my shoulders and kissed my lips vaguely. “Stay here for a now. I will get you a bigger place in the future. Don’t worry. If you allow me, I will make you have a good life.”I smiled and hooked my arms around his
Author’s POV:Evan went to the Carter Group.There was a meeting in the conference room.All the executives and shareholders were in uproar as they kept asking questions.“Mr. Carter, what should we do? You have to give us an explanation so that we can be at ease.”“That’s right! Now that Carter Group is being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. This is a serious problem. If we don’t deal with it properly, we won’t be able to meet again in the future.”“We invested so much money. It won’t go down the drain, right?”Evan's face darkened. He looked coldly at everyone. “If anyone is afraid, he can withdraw from the Green Bay project now.”When the shareholders heard this, they exchanged glances and could not make up their minds.The Green Bay project was already ready for construction, and it was about to bear fruit. It was not worth to withdraw now.However, Evan was now being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. If they failed, they would be
Evan’s POV:I exhaled a plume of smoke, my face growing even more fearsome amidst the swirling haze.Marlowe was arrogant and domineering, bordering on madness. He had spent nine years in prison, not directly at the hands of me, but indirectly due to his actions.If he didn’t seek revenge against me upon his release, it would be a surprise, indeed.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped directly at the children’s hospital.“We have arrived at the hospital Mr. Carter.”“Hmmm!” I stepped out of the car, shook off the scent of smoke from my body, and walked straight to the ward.In the word, Anya sat beside Flora, carefully feeding her some liquid food.“Sweetheart, are you still feeling uncomfortable?”“Mmm, not as uncomfortable as before.”“Then take one more bite.”“Mommy, I can’t eat anymore.”“Come on, just one more bite. You need to eat a little more.” Anya scooped up a spoonful of nutrition supplement and held it near Flora’s mouth.“Okay,” Flora recently opened her mouth and swall
Author’s POV:Online, a new wave of reports emerged.“The Carter Group Assaults Journalists, leaving two reporters seriously injured with severe concussions.”“Evan may face intentional harm charges.”“Two injured journalists are currently receiving treatment in the hospital. The Carter Group’s actions have sparked outrage among the entire X city.”The Internet was buzzing with the news about Carter Group’s bodyguard assaulting journalists.Although Coral attempted to suppress the website, the scandal of the journalist's assault was publicly reported by mainstream media outlets, making it impossible to contain.The footage depicted the journalist and bodyguard shoving and pushing each other unequivocally showing an assault had taken place.Various websites and platforms started sharing the official news reports, making it impossible to suppress the story.“Mr. Carter, the two journalists have filed a law against suit against Carter Group. We received the court summons today.”Evan too
Marlowe’s POV:Over the past few days, my face darkened with a malicious grim as I saw the increasing online news coverage about Evan.“Evan, this is only the beginning, I will meticulousely settle our accounts. These nine years, I spent in prison will not be in vain. I will make you fall for Grace and pay you a hundred times the price.”Tina sat provocatively by the side, adding, “President Yanice, the Carter Group, is already under investigation by relevant departments. I believe retribution will come soon. The show is finally starting. When the times come, I will present a big gift to Evan. I won’t let him retaliate. Haha, a delightful cooperation. President Yanice, once the Carter group collapsed, remember the promise you made to me won’t be broken.”I smirked maliciously, “Don’t worry. I will always keep my word.”“And. what is this big gift you mentioned?”She sneered, “I have brought another alley on board. With his assistance, we can deliver a fatal blow to Evan. When the cruc
Anya’s POV:I looked at Evan and said, “Evan, take a rest. Flora has fallen asleep. You should go back to work tomorrow.”“Don’t bother that. I want to personally stay with Flora. I feel more at ease this way.”“I can handle things here alone. You don’t need to stay.”“How can I leave? Flora needs me right now, and I will stay with her.”Anya’s body trembled.“Anya, once Flora recovers. Let’s get remarried, shall we?”Upon hearing this, my eyes instantly wrinkled.“Remarrying?”I had never thought about such a thing.“Evan, please, don’t bring up these matters right now. I just want to focus on curing Flora’s illness. I don’t want to think too much about anything else.”Evan’s eyes turned cold. “I know what you are thinking, but I want to tell you one thing. I truly love you. And I you and you love the children. I like the idea of being a family with you and your children. I am willing to spend the rest of my life making a for the pain I caused you in the past. Anya, so let me unravel
Evan’s POV:“Anya, you are despicable!” I seethed with anger, directly pressing her down, and started another round of frenzied invasion.Then I launched a new round of crazy invasion.The more she feared getting pregnant, the more I insisted on impregnating her.When she gave birth to the child for me, I wondered, how would she run. So thinking, I tried harder, hoping idea to have twin or triplets.Anya’s POV:The next day, my whole body felt weak, and my limbs were so too sore to the extreme. I had originally planned to wake up at seven but ended up sleeping until 10:30 before recently getting up.“Oh, no, it’s already 10:30. I need to hurry up and go to the hospital.”I dragged my exhausted body and weak body, hastily washed up, and then drove to the hospital.On the way, I suddenly remembered that I had promised to buy egg tarts for Flora. So, I have no choice but to drive to the shopping center again.The things sold here, whether edible or usable, were all top-of-the-line.Of co
Marlowe’s POV:As I watched, Anya’s car driving away, an eerie smile appeared at the corner of my eyes.My assistant joked, “President Yanice, I heard that Evan still love his ex-wife and wanted to remarry her. But for some reason, she has been rejected him.”My eyebrows raised even higher when I heard that. “Hey, I didn’t expect Evan to be such a pony. He wants to go back with his ex.”When I was in prison, Evan and Anya had not been married yet.Unexpectedly, after my release, they had broken up and reconciled several times.“Yeah, his daughter has leukemia, and he donated bone marrow to her. I heard he is going to donate again.”“Interesting! Neither have I expected Evan to be such a loving father,” I sneered coldly and my pupils flashed with a wicked light. “Evan, I am going to take everything from you. Anything you like, I will snatch away. Even if I can’t snatch it, I will destroy it all.”Anya’s POV:At noon, I hurriedly arrived at the hospital.“Flora, Mommy is here.”“Mommy,
Anya’s POV:My heart sank when I overheard the two men gossiping away.“Excuse me, sir, may I borrow your cell phone?”The two vagrants looked at me casually while looking at the phone, “No way! My phone is running out of battery. I have to charge it at the convenience store soon. Moreover, what kind of person doesn’t have a phone nowadays? Why did you ask to borrow mine?”I feared Evan would trace my cell phone location. Therefore, I left it behind.I would have the register with my real ID if I were to apply for a new SIM card.“Sir, I will buy you a cell phone instead.” I took a wallet from my canvas bag and retrieved $200.“I pay for your phone. You can use the money to buy new one.” I said and handed the money to the homeless man.Homeless man’s POV:I looked surprised and became speechless. I looked at the woman skeptically.It was strange that she offered $200 to buy this old phone. She could have bought a brand new one with that amount. I was puzzled.Moreover, someone who cas
Anya’s POV:I became even more aimless after leaving X City West.The weather changed gradually, and dark clouds gathered. The wind blew strongly, cleaning the streets of pedestrians.The storm was apparently about to descend.I felt the chill and tightened my jacket.I had to find another place to stay quickly.Although I had money, I would have to register with my identity card to stay in a better hotel. The same regulation applies in ordinary home stays.It was challenging to find another homestay without an identity card.I subconsciously stopped in my tracks when an overpass passed me.Many unemployed people and vagrants gathered under the overpass. Land in the X city was scarce, and every inch was worth its weight in gold. Many could not afford the tiniest house and resorted to living under the overpass.I looked around.Many homeless people had set up mosquito nets to make independent tents. I would probably have to do the same under the overpass if I did not want to register w
Evan’s POV:Half an hour later, I arrived at the Home stay in the suburbs.I was with an entourage of bodyguards and servants.“Where is she?” I asked anxiously.The Lady boss of the homestead was shocked to see many burly men in suits appearing at her door. She stammered, “She has already left. Look, is this her?”She quickly pulled out the surveillance footage.The public living room was occupied with surveillance.I took a look and became excited. “Yes, yes, that’s her!”In this surveillance video, Anya held a bowl of medicine and was about to drink it.At the same time, my heart sank. “What was she drinking? What was it?”“Oh, she said she had a cold, and it’s cold medicine. “The Lady boss replied.“She left this behind.” The Lady boss quickly brought over Anya’s medicine.“Mark, go and check immediately. What’s in this medicine?” I instructed.Mark looked closer and replied worriedly, “Mr. Carter, the formula is abortion medicine.”Boom!I staggered and almost lost my balance. My
Lady Boss’ POV:I scoffed before changing the channel with a remote control.Unexpectedly, Evan Carter also had a press conference on another channel.I switched a few channels consecutively, all of which were news about Evan Carter looking for Anya Walter.Evan booked the prime time advertising for several TV stations for this purpose.“If any of you know the whereabouts of Anya Walter, please inform me. You will be rewarded handsomely.” Evan promised.“Oh my! Evan Carter is lofty indeed to look for a missing wife on Prime TV. A rich man always gets his way with money.” I looked at the young woman subconsciously as I commented sarcastically.Only then did I realize something unusual with the young woman before me.She wore a cap and sunglasses in an ordinary outfit.However, her temperament was different from the home stays other guests. She had exquisite facial features, and her skin was delicate and translucent.To be honest, she looked a lot like Anya Walter.My heart skipped a be
Anya’s POV:I returned to the small clinic to get the medicine at the agreed time.“Doctor, is the medicine ready?” I asked.The doctor nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, it is ready for collection.”“I concocted some medicine that’s less harmful to the body and has milder medical effects.”The doctor was alone in the small clinic. There were no nurses. He handed the medicine to me.I looked and saw a dozen black-brown medicinal bags in the plastic carrier. “How do you take it?”“It’s a traditional medicine ready for consumption. Take a packet every morning, noon, and night for three consecutive days. The fetus will turn into blood and discharge through your vagina.” The doctor instructed carefully.My brows knotted, and I vaguely felt my abdomen twitch, as if the fetus inside me sensed danger and protested silently.“Okay, how much is it?”“400 dollars.”I frowned again. Then I took out $400 from my wallet.The fee was indeed a little expensive.A reputable hospital would have cost less t
Author’s POV:Soon, the news of Anya Walter’s disappearance had spread like a wildfire.The media found out about Anya Walter’s disappearance through the mysterious informant.By the end of the day, the news has already been released online.“Evan Carter left dejected as his pregnant ex-wife escapes.”“You run, I chase… You can’t escape even if you have wings! Anya Walter deliberately disappears.”Evan Carter’s relationship with his ex-wife crumbles completely. Anya Walter was possibly abandoned.”As soon as the news was released, the Internet exploded again, and the entire city joined in to watch the show.“What’s going on between Mr. Carter and his ex-wife? Why is there so much news every other day? I hear so much about their melodramatic lives that I am tired of watching them.”“That’s right! We can’t have a moment o
Anya’s POV:I thought it over seriously for a night and decided to abort the child with pills.The hospital was not an option for me right now. Besides, there were laws against abortion.Soon, I put on a disguise and made my way to a private clinic.“Hello, what can I help you with?”“Do you have an abortion pill?”“No, no.” The doctor refused, repeatedly, sizing me up suspiciously.“Please help me, doctor! I need the abortion medicine. How much is it? Just tell me. I know you must have it here.” I took out $200 from my pocket.The small clinics certainly had abortion drugs and private abortion services.However, to avoid being investigated by the police, they never sold them openly.“Uh… You have to think about it carefully. Do you want the abortion medicine?”“Yes, please help me!” I was wearing a cap, a large mask, and s
Evan’s POV:My chest heaved violently as I digested Kester’s words. My face twisted in a murderous rage.Judging from Kester’s tone, he was probably telling the truth. Anya had not come to look for him. This made me even more worried.If she encountered bad people, the consequences would be more unimaginable.Soon, night fell.I returned home and rushed to the second floor.After looking at the safe, I was even more anxious.“Mr. Carter, we still haven’t found her…”The bodyguards had searched for an entire day, but they still couldn’t find Anya.They had no choice but to return and report their failure to me. “Mr. Carter, the bodyguard team faces constrains in our abilities. Perhaps, we should call the police instead.”When I heard this, the corner of my lips twitched. “Call the police? Is there something wrong with your worthless brains?”
Evan’s POV:Soon, all the nurses and bodyguards of the Carter family had joined to search for Anya.“Anya… Anya…” My eyes were bloodshot as I punched the bed frame.I knew Anya had not forgiven me.No wonder she had been behaving like a docile lamb. As it turned out, she had been planning her great escape the whole time.She deliberately pretended to reconcile with me, so I would let my guard down.No wonder she acted as though she had forgotten about the past. She was already making plans to flee.“I will give you two hours to find Anya. If you can’t find her, you'll get lost.”“Got it. Mr Carter!”Gael was calling again.I answered the call, feeling slightly frustrated, “What is it?”“Mr. Carter, bad news. I just checked the safe. Miss Anya’s document and passport are missing.”When I heard this. I felt wave
