Even in a situation like that, the only person Lewis thought of was Josie.What reason could Josephine still have for not loving him after hearing that?At that moment, she gave all her love to that man, and he became someone more important to her than her life. It was also clear to her that his care for her was only feelings of pity toward a mute, and that her love would never come to fruition.That was indeed the truth since Lewis started dating Sierra after that. His favoritism toward Josephine shifted to another woman. He had left to protect that other woman instead, and Josephine became neglected. After they got together, Josephine not only lost the person she loved, but she also lost her only friend.Avery sent Josephine text after text when she didn't reply. Josephine came back to reality and typed rapidly, "Avery, don't go. It's dangerous.""It's not. Don't worry, I'll definitely win."Josephine was still worried and wanted to stop her. "Don't go. I'll send you money."
"Why did you rush back so early in the morning?" Avery dusted herself off before helping Josephine up.Lewis glanced at the both of them before stopping his gaze at Josephine's face. He ignored Avery and asked, "Where are you going?""What does it have to do with you? Her legs are hers, she can go anywhere she wants. She's not your pet, does she have to report her every movement to you?" Avery interjected, sneering.Lewis turned toward Avery, his tone flat, "Avery Green, don't think you can keep challenging my patience because you have Tyler behind you."Avery scoffed, "Don't bring him into every conversation. Come at me if you dare. You think I'm afraid of you?"Lewis sneered, "There's no competition with a dumb woman like you. Were you thinking of taking her away? If you weren't Tyler's sister, do you think you would still be alive right now?"“Who are you calling dumb? You're the dumbass!”Lewis was fed up with Avery and grabbed Josephine, pulling her into the house.Avery w
The news made Josephine’s blood curdle as chills ran up her spine, freezing her to the core. She stared at the television in a daze, Lewis' words filling her mind. "She won't have a chance."Josephine kept worrying about what Lewis would do to Avery. It turned out he had made Avery do something instead…Avery was not physically hurt, but it was enough to send her beyond redemption. This accident would not only affect Avery, but the whole Green family would be affected as well. And in this whole situation, Lewis was just a bystander.Tyler and his family rushed back to the Green mansion. Avery sat on the sofa in a daze, frightened out of her mind. Her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs. Whenever Tyler tried to question her, she could only gurgle a few noises, not knowing what she was saying herself.After Tyler found out Avery had met Lewis that morning, he sighed."Avy, I've told you before not to offend him. You just won't listen." Tyler sounded tired.Avery's face was pale,
At Magic Cube, Tyler was seated opposite Lewis. It was only the two of them today, but there was plenty of liquor on the table, and the large screen was playing a music video, albeit without sound. In contrast to the loud noises outside, the private room was incredibly solemn. Tyler poured himself a shot, drinking it in one go, then followed it with a second. He drank a total of three shots. With his legs crossed, Lewis leaned lazily on the sofa, playing with his lighter as he looked silently at Tyler. Perhaps it was because Tyler downed the three shots too quickly that he felt like coughing. He held it in with much difficulty, his face turning red. It was then only that Tyler looked at Lewis. "Lewis, let's talk.""About what?" Lewis replied casually."Avery."Lewis smiled ambiguously. "She's your sister, I don't think I'm the person you should be looking for.""No one else is here, so there is no need for all the secrecy. Avery has learned her lesson; she will definitely not
Because the lights were on, Lewis saw her wince, and he paused. He grabbed her wrist and pulled up her sleeves. Her elbows were grazed, and he could see a big bruise forming. He then pulled on her collar, her shoulders revealing a patch of green.Lewis looked at Josephine, who had her eyes shut tight in a grimace. It took her a while to ease up."Why didn't you apply medicine to it?" It was only after Lewis peeled off the bandage that he noticed.Josephine opened her eyes and tried to hide the pain, gesturing, "I'm fine, it's not serious."She didn't dare apply any medication, since she was afraid of the effects on her baby. After all, her baby's life was precarious.Lewis got down from the bed, rummaging through the drawers. After a while, he came back and asked, "Where is the first aid kit?"Josephine had always been the one to tidy up the house. It was funny when she thought about it. Lewis wasn't familiar with his own home.Josephine shook her head, not wanting to get any me
Nobody knew how Seth and Daphne met. They had gotten married two years ago and Seth moved into the Alvarez Manor afterward. Josephine was slightly afraid of him. She took a step back and gestured, "Is anything wrong?"Seth smiled faintly. "I’m not sure. After you, Josephine." Even though he held out his hand respectfully, his smile betrayed his emotions, and his gaze was rather aggressive.Josephine remembered the day she bumped into Nancy at the hospital, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be?Seth was looking at her, ready to stand the whole night if she refused to leave. "I don’t feel too well today, can I go tomorrow?" Josephine signed. Seth shook his head lightly. "You should just come with me. If Nancy were to come herself, she won’t be as polite as I am."Josephine gripped her phone tightly. Although she didn’t know the reason Nancy wanted to see her, she had a bad feeling about it. It may have had something to do with her encounter with Nancy at the hospital, e
Nancy and Daphne were busy trying to calm the baby down, but nothing worked. "What happened? Why is he suddenly crying so hard?" Daphne asked."He probably got frightened. Damn, that mute, nothing good happens every time she comes." Nancy said haughtily. Josephine was brought into a small room. The equipment was complete here. In the past, this was the room prepared for Daphne. Now, it was also prepared for Josephine. In this room, history was about to repeat itself.As Josephine was being pinned on the surgical table, a mask-wearing doctor walked in with a syringe. Her eyes widened as she stared right at the syringe that was glowing slightly under the lights. As she struggled desperately, the doctor held her hand down and warned, "If the needle goes in slanted, it'll do you no good."Josephine was not listening as she tried to break free from the maids’ hold. She was like a cornered cattle, attempting a final escape. The doctor watched as veins were about to pop on Josephine
Josephine sat on the sofa, with Lewis drying her hair with a towel. Her face was extremely pale. With the lights above her head shining down at her, she looked as pale as a dead person. Josephine was staring blankly into space, unmoving. Lewis looked at her, but he didn’t speak a word, continuing to dry her hair instead. He didn’t even ask what happened at Alvarez Manor. She wondered if he had already guessed it or if he just didn’t care what would happen if she went. It was the same as last time. After he found out, he was silent, not even asking her if it hurt.Right, how would a mute be in pain?After Lewis towel-dried her hair, he moved on to a blow dryer. She maintained her posture, never moving. Her silky black hair, which framed her face, made her even paler. It was as if she would turn transparent and disappear at any time.Lewis stood behind her, not uttering a word. Both of them stayed like that in silence. A ringtone suddenly rang out and broke the atmosphere. It was
