The time for fitting the wedding dress abroad was set, a trip that would last about a week.

A week wasn't a short time, and Julian specifically instructed Keith to keep a close eye on Vanessa. The meaning of "keep a close eye" was profound; it wasn't surveillance or confinement, and Keith needed to gauge the exact boundaries himself.

Julian withdrew an extra sum of money and privately handed it to Keith, knowing his family was struggling. He considered himself to have done his utmost for Keith.

    The car was ready, but Vanessa wouldn't leave her room.Jerry went to the front desk for a spare room card and swiped the door open. Julian didn't go in. He merely raised his chin, his expression unreadable, and said, "Go call Keith. Have him bring Vanessa down.""Mr. Frost, is that really appropriate?"Julian's eyes sharpened to daggers. "What, are you feeling sorry for her too?""No, Mr. Frost…""Go get Keith."Vanessa refused to leave, but Julian had countless ways to make her.Keith entered reluctantly, a band-aid on a fresh wound on his face, limping slightly. As he stood before Vanessa, it was as if Julian was telling her: if she wouldn't leave, there were plenty of others to suffer in her stead.She met Keith's gaze. He said nothing, yet Vanessa rose immediately. She put on her coat, her lips pale and dry, and walked out like a soul-less shell. Jerry opened the rear car door. Julian was already seated on the other

    Her whole body was clammy with cold sweat. A cool breeze swept through, chilling her to the bone and drying the sweat from her skin.Vanessa's throat was raw, her mouth unable to form words. Tears welled in her eyes but refused to fall. Facing Julian, only fear remained, eclipsing even her hatred. What he had done was tantamount to a death sentence for Vanessa."Don't look at me like that." Julian was equally incensed. One step later, and the child would have been gone; he couldn't even bear to imagine such an outcome. "I'm just trying to protect my own child. There's nothing wrong with that.""The child is in my belly. I decide what happens to it!"Finding her voice, Vanessa's rebuttal was explosive. "You have no right to dictate whether I give birth to this child! If you want a child so badly, why don't you have your wife give birth to one for you?"She was drained of strength, the anesthesia having just worn off, and she'd just endured a crushin

    Uncertain whether Evelyn's accident was real or fake, Vanessa tried calling Adrian, but the line wouldn't connect.It was almost her turn for the surgery.This child absolutely had to be removed.Turning off her phone, Vanessa waited patiently, unaware that several hospitals in the vicinity were being searched. Keith, gasping for breath, found the building downstairs and rushed upstairs without a moment's hesitation. The last time he failed to find Vanessa, she had suffered such severe injuries. This time, he would find her even if it cost him his life.He rode the elevator to the upper floors, searched the corridor, and finding no one, he ran to the nurse's station. "Excuse me, is there a Miss Brooks scheduled for surgery today?""This involves patient privacy. Who are you to the patient?"At a time like this, Keith couldn't care about formalities. "I'm her husband. We had a fight, and she came here for surgery behind my back. Please, just

    The night was pitch black, and Vanessa returned very late.Fortunately, Evelyn wasn't waiting for her downstairs. After taking her medicine upstairs, Vanessa booked a flight, planning to have the surgery elsewhere to keep it a secret from everyone. At this moment, this was her only option.This incident had hit her hard.Her body was already fragile, and the doctor had warned that the surgery was risky, potentially causing lifelong damage if anything went wrong.Vanessa didn't care. She wouldn't keep anything related to Julian near her.The ticket was bought; she'd leave at dawn. She didn't plan to say goodbye to Evelyn, only leaving a message that she'd be gone for a few days.Before the sky brightened, Vanessa headed to the airport, oblivious to the car following her.Keith followed her to the airport and called Jerry to report the situation."To the airport? Did you see where exactly she was going?""Not too far, with

    Just two days later was Stacey's aunt's birthday, and Julian went with her to pick out a gift."Are you really not going?" Stacey's eyes flickered with a mix of hope and disappointment. For this kind of occasion, she truly wished Julian would accompany her. "Auntie really wants to see you.""My facial injury hasn't healed yet, so I won't go over and make her worry."His excuse sounded plausible, but in reality, it was avoidance. He tried his best to avoid meeting and interacting with Stacey's family, so there wouldn't be so many entanglements if they divorced later.Stacey understood, and didn't push him. With Julian's arm in hers, they headed to the parking lot. Halfway there, their path was blocked by an unfamiliar figure.The woman was wearing a long white dress, her black hair flowing over her shoulders, and her eyes held a thin, fragile helplessness."Julian." Even her voice was gentle, crafted to stir pity in any man.Julian fro

    With an injured face, Julian hadn't attended any of the group's meetings lately, handing many matters over to Cliff.He went to Felix's for dressing changes and bandaging. Jeremy was there, receiving acupuncture, crying out in pain repeatedly. Felix, with a straight face, said, "Jeremy, your kidneys aren't in great shape. You'll have trouble in the future.""Felix, don't scare me.""Why would I scare you?"After pulling out the needles and putting them away, Felix finally walked over to Julian, bending down to examine the wound on his face. "Look at this poor guy," he mused. "Adrian is quite the brute, isn't he? Such a heavy hand?""Is this the first day you found out he's a brute?"Felix pursed his lips and went to get the medicine. "You know," he said, "I'm not that familiar with him. How would I know he'd do something like this?"Just as he was speaking, Adrian's call came through. It wasn't for Julian, but for Felix.He'd n

    The location was arranged by Adrian. Julian was at the same table as Vanessa, who was with Evelyn. Perry had taken his seat early.Julian tapped his cigarette ash, glancing at Perry's face in the reflection of the porcelain white dessert plate on the table. A typical pretty boy, good at deceiving p

    After saying hello to Evelyn, Julian went downstairs. Cliff stood in the noisy crowd, narrowing his eyes, then scanned the room. He met Perry's eyes, who was helping to greet guests not far away.The two walked to a secluded spot in unison.Cliff took out a cigarette, the most common kind. He wasn'

    "What exactly do you mean?"Adrian wasn't stupid. He exhaled smoke, scrutinizing and contemplating, then chuckled after a moment. "Julian, you're quite something. You couldn't stand her back then, and now you're suddenly smitten?"This wasn't a big deal."What, do you need me to fetch her to ease y

    But without a trace of extra emotion, she turned slightly, avoiding the glaring and ambiguous scene. Facing the sunlight, she continued to carefully wipe the body of the violin. That profile was more indifferent than a hundred rejections and evasions.Julian suppressed his anger and went downstairs
