The voice of Carson talking over the corner was still resonating intermittently, but Everly had already turned away and left. She disappeared in the windy snow with her head lowered.She would never forget everything that had happened over the years, nor would she forget Bonnie, who died for her. Also, Granny Preston who was still bedridden in the hospital.She could no longer look back.The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the whole city seemed to be frozen.Everly lowered her head and walked across the cold street. Along the street, silence and noise interchanged as people passed by her. She seemed to be only a passerby in this world, only making a fleeting stay and leaving no trace behind.She asked one store after another, and no one wanted to hire her.Moreover… Carson’s people were still stopping her constantly.It was so cold that her joints were frozen hard. The breath she exhaled made her freeze, and the coldness was bone-chilling.When passing by a 24-hour co
As she said, she also glanced at the hole on the ice next to her. It was pitch black underneath and looked horrible.The plump man reached out and poked her arm. He was relieved after he was sure that she was a living human. He looked at his subordinates sitting next to him, and then said, “The machine below is stuck and can’t function. We need someone to go down there and remove whatever is stopping it.”Everly nodded, “I just need to clean things up?”“Yeah,” the man paused for a while and took a serious glance at Everly. He asked, “You… really want to go down? Since you heard what we said, you should have understood that once you go down there, we can’t promise you that you can get up.”“Yeah, young lady. You may not understand, but it’s really dark in there. Although there will be lighting, the bottom is too deep and the lighting has limited range. There will be equipment for you when you go down, and you’ll be tied to a cable, but who knows, maybe something will get stuck? And
Spider web-like cracks spread across the entire screen. Carson’s eyes narrowed tightly to stare at Everly on the screen, and the temperature inside the car dropped.“Sir, our people have already rushed over there at the highest speed. Miss Pettis will be fine!” The butler kept saying, but he only fixed his gaze on the cracked screen of the tablet with a grim face.It was already five in the morning, and the sky spanning between heaven and earth was dark. The Masheruti rushed all the way to the western suburbs at the highest speed.Screech!“Sir, right ahead,” the butler said as he stopped the car. Before the car came to a complete halt, the butler looked around and found that Carson had already gotten out of the car. He strode over to the other side hurriedly.“Man, that woman was really scary just now. It’s the first time I have seen this!”“Yes, she just went down for twenty thousand dollars. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. She took the money and left, otherwise who know
Carson looked at the screen on the cracked tablet showing how she took the money, and said, “Go check, what does she want the money for!”“Yes!”The butler responded. He gave instructions over the phone while making a U-turn with the car. The snow outside of the window was still falling. Carson looked at the black cotton coat Everly left on the boat through the surveillance camera. She then stumbled her way to leave the place. Carson pursed his lips into a deadly thin line.What did she want to do?!…Hospital.Everly handed over the money. The sum made up the money she owed before, and the outstanding amount was pre-paid for the upcoming medical fees.In this way, at least for half a month, there would be no problem with medical expenses.“It’s not the long-term solution for this. It’s better to have a kidney transplant.”“The surgery… How much will it cost?”“Generally speaking, it will be three thousand dollars to five thousand dollars. After that, the postoperative care w
Why was he here?How long had he been standing here?What did he know?About granny…At this moment, many thoughts flashed in Everly’s mind, but in the end, she just stood there blankly. She looked at his face that had not changed for many years as if time had frozen.There was only silence around them, and only the sound of falling snow seemed to be heard between heaven and earth.It felt as if only a moment had passed, but at the same time, it felt like a century. Everly could only stare at him.The blood that had just been suppressed surged upward again. The blood in her throat was gushing upward as if it was going to explode. She clenched her hands with so much strength that she trembled. In the end, she was the first to break it all.She turned around and ran with all her might. She wanted to get out of here as fast as possible, but at the next moment, her wrist was grasped by a gigantic palm. The momentum that she threw herself forward was stopped instantly, and she was f
Anger.Why was his heart filling up with anger again?Because of her leaving?Why did he always give her the illusion that he actually cares about her?Was it because she was blinded, or was it because…She still had him in her heart?Again and again, she kept making excuses for his behavior.What a shame!The car engine started to roar, and the scenery outside kept moving backward. Her heart was in a mess.“You…”Just as he was about to lose patience again, she interrupted him. She looked at him like this, tried her best to be in control, and said hoarsely, “This is my business, not yours.”“Your business?” His eyes narrowed dangerously. She was still planning to hide it!He looked at her as if he could almost see through her. The aura around him became colder, and the depression became stronger as time passed. He said angrily, “Everly, do you really think you can hide it by simply saying that it’s your business?! You…”“My neck is torn, and I’m coming over here to fix it
“Speak!” Carson’s eyes were bloodshot. He wanted so much to strangle her to death!There was only Carson’s roaring rage in the car, but no response from Everly was heard.The butler looked nervously at the two people in the rearview mirror, not knowing what to do.He had never seen the young master looking so angry.The young master had always been not demonstrative of his emotions. Especially after that incident happened, he was even better at hiding his emotions. However, he was so angry now that he had not bothered hiding his emotions…Looking at the impasse behind, the butler was also very anxious.“Miss Pettis, we have found out the truth of the matter, so don’t be stubborn with the young master.” The butler tried to make a breakthrough, “Just tell the truth to the young master, admit your mistake, and then go back with us. Be good and stay with us from now on, okay?”Everly looked at the receding scenery outside the car window. Her eyes were wet.The truth…Admit my mist
Carson stared into the hatred in her eyes and was at a loss of words for a moment.He had not understood her. The bony woman in front of him was no longer the little girl who had been following behind him all the time. Four years ago, she told him that she loved him and had killed someone else in the name of love. Now, she was fighting him for another man!An unprecedented feeling swept over him. He was uncomfortable and angry, making him almost lose control of his emotions. He could not control such emotions. He could only clamp his hand tightly around her neck and let the anger in him rage on."How long have you been with him? Have you been with him since you were released from prison?""And the money. You risked your life to get the money. Why did you give them all to him? Do you want to live such a miserable life? Does it have to be with him?""Tell me!"He tightened his grip on her neck and roared, which scared the butler in the front. She started trembling."Why did I give
