“By what authority does he order me?”

Adrian held the recording pen, finding it deeply laughable, "Besides, I'm too lazy to even listen to this thing. All I know is that Vanessa bears undeniable responsibility for Ivy's death."

Jerry calmly picked up the recording pen and handed it back to him. "Mr. Frost said that if you don't want to face a charge of beating your sister to death in the future, you should rein in your violent tendencies, especially towards Miss Broo

    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

    She replied to Adrian's message.Vanessa tucked her phone into her pocket, looking down at her sprained ankle. Harvey came over after paying the hospital bill, his concern evident. “How are you doing? Feeling any better?”He naturally reached out, helping Vanessa to her feet. She tried to put weigh

    Julian’s palm was scalding, the indentations of his fingertips branded onto his skin. The searing pain that lashed across Vanessa’s face was scorching, striking her ears so hard they seemed to lose all hearing, ringing loudly as her head reeled and a wave of nausea washed over her.“Do you enjoy be

    "She's never ridden in my car."When they were together, Jerry usually drove. Even if she had ridden in it, she'd been forced in, not Vanessa willingly.Stacey's question, however, made Julian wonder, had Vanessa ridden in Harvey's car?Lately, she'd been taking lessons at the Spears family residen

    He had never gone to such lengths to appease a woman before; Vanessa was the first.While waiting for the elevator, his phone rang. It was the house line. He took a deep breath before answering, "Grandpa.""When are you coming back? Stacey's family is here, waiting to discuss the wedding arrangemen
