That night, when Nellie was at Lynch Mansion, she had drunk the poisoned tea that Celia had made for Granny LynchโฆJoshuaโs guess was correct.Granny Lynch let out an exhale and grabbed hold of Nellieโs hand. Then, she lifted her head to glance at Celia. โEven if I had to give the antidote to someone else, Iโd never choose Michael.โNellie, on the other hand, is already a talented jewelry designer at six years old. Her future is full of potential.โGranny Lynch let out a kindly smile, then lowered her head to gaze at Nellieโs tiny face. โHow did the milk I gave you taste?โNellie nodded earnestly. โIt was delicious!โEveryoneโapart from Nellieโwas so stunned by this sudden turn of events that none of them could say a word.Celia gaped at the empty bottle that Nellie was clutching.If she remembered correctly, Granny Lynch had instructed Nellie to drink the milk only after she barged into the room with Neil as a hostage.Therefore, Nellie had drunk the milk right in front of he

Inside the hospital room.Luna bit down on her lip and stared at a white-haired Granny Lynch with a pained expression. โGrannyโฆโ she said in a hoarse voice. โWhy did youโฆโGranny feigned nonchalance and reached out her hand to stroke Nellieโs head, then squeezed Neilโs hand reassuringly. โIโve already told you; Celia was right. I donโt have much time left, so Iโm glad that I get to do something good for my great-grandchildren.โLunaโs eyes were red-rimmed. โBut Granny, Joshua and I went to so much trouble to obtain the antidote and cure you. Youโre the only elder that Joshua respects, and youโre the only family member that not just him, but the children and I cherishโฆโShe sniffed and continued in a choked voice, โNellie is still young; she still has such a long way to go. I highly doubt that the poison within her body will never be able to get neutralized. Weโll eventually find a way to save her, but youโฆโGranny Lynch was more than 70 years old. When Luna first got in touch with

โNowโฆI canโt anymore.โ She let out a bitter smile and stared at Joshua. โHaving lived such a long life, I no longer have any regrets. The only person Iโm worried about is you.โYour mother passed away when you were born, and your father never cared about you at all, so I was the one who raised you. I know how stubborn and how lonely you areโฆโWith that, Granny Lynch glanced at the door. She could make out the four people through the matte glass.Neil was sitting in his wheelchair while Nigel stood behind him. On the other hand, Luna was crouching in front of Nellie, wiping the tears from her face.Granny Lynch stared at their vague silhouettes through the glass, a faint smile playing on her lips. โLuna is a good woman. Iโm glad that you have her by your side, and Iโm extremely touched that sheโs willing to sacrifice so much for an old lady like me, butโฆโShe lifted her head to gaze at Joshua. โI have two requests for you.โJoshua gripped her hand tightly and said, โPlease tell me

When Joshua came out from the room, Luna had just finished consoling a crying Nellie.Even though she was just a child, Nellie fully understood the consequences of Granny Lynchโs action when she tricked her into drinking the antidote that would cure her disease.Nellie had stopped crying but was still sniffling. โGreat-Grannyโฆ How much time does she have left? Will she get better if the doctors draw out my blood and give it to her?โLuna sighed and pulled Nellie into an embrace but said nothing in response.โGreat-Granny wonโt want your blood.โ Joshua closed the door behind him, strode over to Nellie, and squatted in front of her. He looked straight into her eyes and continued, โNellie, Great-Granny is willing to give the best to you because she wants you to be well. In that case, she wonโt want to see you suffer, will she?โJoshuaโs words made Nellie cry. The tears streamed out of her eyes and down her cheeks. โWhat will happen, Daddy? I donโt want Great-Granny to dieโฆโJoshua s

Joshua, who was holding the phone, narrowed his eyes. It had already been ten minutes. He knew that it only took one minute to board the lift and arrive at Grannyโs ward from the ground floor.Ten minutes had passed, yet Adrian had yet to arrive. This meant Adrian was not here to visit Granny Lynch at all.Joshua let out an exhale, walked into the lift, and asked, โMichael is here in the hospital too, right? Which level is he in?โโThe twelfth floor.โโฆInside the patientโs room on the 12th floor.Covered in seawater, Adrian took off his jacket and said, while wiping away the excess water on his body, โDonโt worry. Although sheโs still unconscious, sheโs alive. I hid her in a safe place. A doctor from a small clinic is with her. The doctor said she choked on a large amount of water, and it caused her to pass out. She couldโve died if we didnโt manage to save her so soon.โWith that, he looked up and stared at Michael, who was lying on the bed. โDidnโt you say sheโs pregnant wi

Joshuaโs deep voice carried a twinge of arrogance. It made Adrian and Michael both shudder. Everything went silent for a moment inside the room.Adrian was the first to finally regain his composure. He forced out a smile and said, โYouโre kidding, right, Joshua? No matter what, Celia is your aunt, my wife, and Michaelโs motherโฆ She didnโt do anything harmful, so why did you send her to the police station?โJoshua crossed his arms around his chest and swept his cold glance over Adrianโs wet clothes. โWhere have you been?โAdrian let out an awkward smile. โIโฆIโฆI didnโt go anywhere.โJoshua did not reply and, instead, just stared at him coldly.Joshuaโs aura was so strong and domineering that it seemed to suffocate the people around him.Adrian was so nervous that he started shaking. He followed Joshuaโs gaze, which was locked on his clothes, and immediately replied, โJust now, Iโฆ Just now, I accidentally fell into a man-made lake.โJoshua curled his lips into a smirk and fixated h

Joshua shot Adrian a cold glare and said, โYou have to come with me right now.โAdrian furrowed his brows upon hearing this. โWhere to?โโWhere else?โ Joshua curled his lips into a sneer. โGranny has refused to take the antidote, and her condition is deteriorating. Your sister died many years ago, and youโre her only son now. Do you need me to teach you what you should be doing?โAdrian froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that Joshua wanted him to pay his respects to Granny Lynch before she passed. He narrowed his eyes and said, โJoshua, I understand what youโre trying to say, and itโs not like Iโm refusing to pay my respects to Mother.โWith that, he turned, plopped down on the sofa next to him, and gazed at Joshua with a triumphant look. โBut you must have something to offer me in return for helping you, donโt you?โJoshua stared at him. โAre you asking something in return for paying respects to your own mother?โโOf course.โ Adrian crossed his legs and said gleefully, โ

Adrian never thought that Joshua would be able to uncover secrets that happened more than 20 years ago, even before he was born!Adrian immediately broke out in cold sweats. He stood up and said in a shaky voice, โDoes thisโฆ Does this mean that if I visit Mother now, you wonโtโฆtrack down the doctor who tried to save your mother?โJoshua glanced at him. โWhat do you think?โโIโฆโ Adrian let out an exhale. โI think that as long as I visit Mother now, youโll let all of this go!โWith that, he circled past Joshua, hurried down the hallway, and disappeared from view. Joshua narrowed his eyes as he watched Adrian leave. He curled his lips into a smirk and tucked his phone away.Of course he would not let Adrian off the hook so quickly.No oneโapart from Rianna herselfโcould forgive Adrian for what he had done. Alas, she had been dead for more than 20 years.The only reason Joshua did this was to soothe Grannyโs worries about the rivalry between him and Adrian as much as possible befo

At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actuallyโฆ"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Stevenโฆ" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes laterโฆ"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face.

The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstandingโฆ"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different personโa recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwenโฆ" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of youโeven you, Lunaโshould bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
