تسجيل الدخولThe atmosphere in the hallway of Manhattan Presbyterian Hospital, which had been silent just moments ago, was suddenly shattered by an uncontrollable outburst of rage. Revaline, who had still been weak in Daven's support, abruptly straightened her body. Her eyes, swollen from crying, instantly burned with overwhelming hatred as they locked onto Aurora, who stood frozen with her head lowered beside Anna.Before anyone could even notice her movement, Revaline strode forward with ragged breaths.Slap!The sharp sound of the slap echoed throughout the cold hallway. Aurora's head snapped to the side from the force of Revaline's palm. Her left cheek instantly turned red, leaving a burning sting across her smooth skin."Revaline!" Daven shouted in shock as he immediately stepped forward and positioned himself in front of Aurora."It's all because of you!" Revaline screamed hysterically, pointing her finger directly at Aurora's face, her entire body trembling violently from the flood of emoti
Panic instantly consumed the master bedroom of the wooden villa, which had only moments ago been filled with warmth. Anna hurriedly straightened her dress and smoothed her disheveled hair before rushing toward the front door, her breathing ragged. She pounded relentlessly against the thick teak door with both palms, pouring all of her overwhelming fear into every desperate knock."Open the door! Please! Whoever's outside, open the door now!" Anna screamed hysterically, her shrill voice shattering the peaceful atmosphere of the garden.Hearing the frantic screams and loud banging coming from inside the villa, Aurora, who had been standing some distance away, immediately froze in shock. Without wasting a single second, she sprinted toward the front door, with Daven close behind. Joye and Revaline, who had still been standing tensely on the stone pathway, could only stare at each other in confusion for a brief moment before hurrying after them toward the wooden villa.With trembling fing
The silence inside the master bedroom of the wooden villa gradually gave way to a profound warmth. Anna looked at Malveno without the slightest trace of hesitation left in her eyes. Her gentle nod became the green light that shattered the last of the defenses within him.With calm movements filled with the weight of long-suppressed longing, Malveno wrapped an arm around Anna's waist before gently lowering her graceful body onto the carved wooden bed in the corner of the room. He followed above her, supporting his own weight so that he would not press down on her completely.Their eyes locked for a brief moment before Malveno lowered his head, placing warm, lingering kisses along her jawline before trailing them down the length of Anna's slender neck. Each time his warm lips brushed against her skin, Anna's breathing grew increasingly uneven. Her slender fingers clutched the fabric of Malveno's shirt at his shoulder, surrendering all the emotions she could never put into words.Meanwhi
Outside the wooden villa, the trees of Central Park swayed gently beneath the morning breeze. Aurora stood a short distance from the villa's door, holding her smartphone to her ear with a tense yet hopeful expression. Beside her, Daven kept watch over the surrounding park with his arms crossed, uncertainty still clearly etched across his forehead."Hello, Uncle Juna?" Aurora called hurriedly as soon as the call connected.Elsewhere, Juna's deep voice answered from the other end of the line."Aurora? What's wrong, sweetheart? Why do you sound so panicked?""Uncle, Daven and I just met a woman in Central Park," Aurora said, her breathing uneven as she got straight to the point. "Her face... her face looks exactly like Mama Camelia's! Her name is Anna Lancaster. And that's not all, Uncle! Earlier, we heard her mention Grandma Wen from Lancaster Group. Uncle, could you please investigate Anna Lancaster's background right away?"Silence fell on the other end of the line. The sound of rustl
Aurora's heartfelt confession struck like a bolt of lightning through the silence of the morning in Central Park. The cold air slowly crept in, freezing Malveno and Anna where they stood. Their gazes shifted back and forth between Aurora and Daven, taking in every trace of emotion and every tear glistening in the eyes of the two teenagers before them.Malveno was the first to break the heavy silence. His throat felt tight, but an overwhelming curiosity compelled the tall man to step forward."Aurora... Daven..." Malveno called softly, his voice trembling slightly as he suppressed the confusion raging inside him. "Who exactly are Camelia and Calvin, the two people you keep talking about? Please tell us the truth."Anna, standing beside Malveno, gave a small nod. Her intertwined fingers felt ice-cold."Yes, children. Tell us... if you truly believe we are your parents, then what exactly happened ten years ago?"Aurora wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks before taking a deep bre
The warm emotions flowing between Anna, Daven, and Aurora beneath the shade of the lush trees of Central Park seemed to freeze time itself. After the tight, longing embrace finally subsided, the atmosphere became much more relaxed and familiar. Aurora, who was still reluctant to release her right arm from Anna’s grasp, smiled broadly, her eyes still carrying traces of tears of happiness.“Auntie, how about we take a picture together first?” Aurora suggested enthusiastically as she reached into her backpack for her smartphone. “As a keepsake for today. I want to show the photo to Uncle Juna and Auntie Ziyi later.”Anna nodded gently, a sincere smile spreading across her elegant face and making her maternal charm even more pronounced. “Of course, sweetheart. Come on, let’s take a picture.”Daven stood on Anna’s left side, gently wrapping an arm around the woman’s shoulders, while Aurora moved closer to her right side with her phone raised high.Click!The sound of the camera shutter ran
