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 misunderstanding…"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
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,
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
At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" 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 later…"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. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?
Luna Gibson was pregnant.She headed home happily with the test report in her hands, all while she pondered on how to break the news to her husband, Joshua Lynch, as a surprise. He had been overseas on a business trip for more than half a month, and he would finally return home tomorrow.The moment she entered her home, however, she noticed a pair of ladies’ shoes that were not hers. She frowned.She recognized them. It was her sister’s, Aura Gibson, and she just bought them not too long ago.Was she not on that business trip with Joshua?It was then she heard a woman’s voice that resounded from upstairs.This voice… It was her sister, Aura’s voice!Luna bit her lip as her body trembled inadvertently. Which other man could it be if it was not her husband?Instinctively, she raised her feet and walked upstairs. The closer she got, the louder the voices of the man and woman that drifted out of the bedroom.“What are we going to do when she comes back later?” Compared to Aura’s s
At the mention of her eldest son, Luna’s heart ached.She smiled bitterly. “Someone is taking care of him back there. We might stay a little longer this time.”She had to take care of some issues.Six years ago, Joshua and Aura colluded to try and kill her, even though she was three months pregnant. After news of her ‘death’ was announced to the public, Aura even shamelessly produced her so-called will as proof she committed suicide.The reason for her supposed suicide was because she betrayed Joshua and felt guilty. Ridiculous. The true traitor lived happily whilst she had to carry the brand of a cheater even in her ‘death’. For everything they owed her, she would make them pay with their blood!Of course, there was also Nigel’s body…The woman sighed heavily as she turned toward Anne. “How’s the job opening I asked you to look into?”Anne looked slightly awkward. “I asked someone to inquire into it, but at the moment, there’s no opening for any position in the Lynch Group ex
Early in the morning, the atmosphere in the Lynch Group was serious and cold. All the staff members stood in a neat line as they respectfully waited for the arrival of their big boss.When the clock struck 8 a.m., a luxurious car stopped in front of the entrance. A man who looked like a butler rushed down from the passenger seat and opened the back door.With a cold expression, Joshua lifted his long legs wrapped in black trousers out the door and put his feet on the ground to get out of the car. He was apathetic and arrogant, and his aura was so domineering that everyone in his vicinity could barely breathe.The man looked forward and strode up the steps.“Daddy—!” A cute, childish voice abruptly broke through the heavy atmosphere, and everyone hurriedly raised their gaze to look in the direction where the voice came from.A little girl that seemed to appear out of nowhere climbed up the stairs clumsily. She wore a pink, princess-style dress. Even though her face could not be mad
“Yes, Blue Bay Villa. It belongs to Mr. Lynch.”The man’s voice on the other end of the phone sounded excited. “The Little Princess is in desperate need of someone to help her with her bath, and she chose you out of a few hundred applicants. Come quickly!”With that, the man hung up the phone. Luna frowned as she raised her head and looked at Neil before her. “This is the job you found me?”The boy nodded as he went toward her and held her hand. “Mommy, I know you’re back for a reason. It’d be easier for you to approach Joshua Lynch in his home compared to his office, don’t you think so?”Luna sighed and just knew she could not hide anything from the smart tad. She knelt. “You’re right, but...”“Mommy, don’t worry!” Neil looked at her with his bright eyes. “The Little Princess is easy to deal with!”Luna smiled helplessly, washed her face, and tidied herself up a bit.“Oh, where’s Nellie?” she asked as she put on her shoes.Nellie would dart out of her bedroom to meet her whe
