“Hello, Helena,” greeted Tamara.Helena sighed, “Tammy, I haven’t found a new lead since we lost our guy. I’m at my wits’ end. Are you free tomorrow?”Tamara gave it a thought. “I should be free tomorrow afternoon.”“I’ll give you a call then. I need someone to rant to. I’m so fucking annoyed.” Helena sounded dejected.Tamara chuckled, “It won’t be easy to solve this, or the police would have found them already. You should take it easy if nothing new comes out. Slow and easy wins the race, after all.”Helena groaned, “You’re right. I have probably taken enough of your time already. See you tomorrow.”“Okay. Bye,” said Tamara.After hanging up the phone, Helena got down from her bed to get some water. When she opened the door, she saw Selena standing outside.“Mom? What are you doing?” Helena was surprised to see Selena.Selena must not be expecting Helena to open the door. She panicked but quickly composed herself. “I brought you some warm milk. You should drink it before you

Age had caught up to Elijah. His few remaining strands of black hair had all turned white by now. He forced a smile. “Melly is fine. She’s inside, playing with some toys. I saw you weren’t coming in. So…”Tamara breathed a sigh of relief. “You know why I refuse to go in there.”Elijah nodded. “I…I know…”Tamara stood by her car, staring at Elijah’s guilt-ridden expression. “Is there anything else you want to talk about?” she muttered cruelly.Elijah struggled to find the right words. “Tammy, won’t… won’t you give me another chance? Give me a chance to become a better father. I…I know I did a lot of wrong things before this. I don’t have the right to say this. But when I learned that you are my daughter, I was filled with new-found joy. I never thought…I always thought I didn’t have any children to call my own. I want…”“You’re mistaken.” Tamara gave him a hard look. There was a hint of mockery in her eyes. “I am not your daughter. My only father is Jacob Simmons.”Elijah grew p

Jonathan’s face fell. He stared blankly at the door.Sebastian’s lips thinned into a fine line. His handsome face looked indifferent, as if he was frozen in time.The operation went on for two hours, and they stood guard outside the whole time. Tamara was pushed out from within after the surgery was completed.Sebastian finally defrosted from his state. His fingers twitched, and he observed the unconscious Tamara. A worried look appeared on his handsome face.“How is she, doctor?” Jonathan asked nervously.The doctor said, “The patient has a broken leg and two broken ribcages. The rest are some minor scratches. She’s going to be fine.”The majority of people who were hit by cars had their organs crushed beyond repair. A few broken bones were considered miraculous. At the very least, her life was not in danger.Inside the VIP ward.Sebastian rooted himself to Tamara. His eyes never left her. He never responded to Cheryl, no matter what abuse she hurled at him. Tamara was all he

Selena’s head was forced up. One side of her pale face was marked with the bright red handprint from the slap. Selena still mocked cruelly despite her disheveled state, “Aren’t you curious about how Alex got into your bed back then? If it weren’t for that, you never would have met her. You’re just a lowly bastard son while she’s the highly sought-after beauty of Clacton.”Elijah’s gaze sharpened, and his face grew colder. “Get to the point, Selena.”Selena grinned. “Don’t you want to know why Alex got married to Jacob Simmons despite her love for you? If you want to know the truth, let me go. And don’t hurt me, either. I’ll tell you everything if I feel like it…Ouch!”Before Selena could finish her sentence, she was choked by Elijah. His wrinkled face twisted darkly. “No one ever threatens me and lives to tell the tale. You are no exception to that.”Elijah tightened his grip on Selena to make a point. Selena choked. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, and she looked like a

Tamara told Sebastian about what happened a few days ago.Sebastian gripped Tamara’s hand as the story progressed. “Why didn’t you tell me?”Tamara smiled. “Because I could solve it myself.”Sebastian’s face fell. “But you didn’t do a thorough job.”Tamara blinked. “Don’t give me that look. I don’t like seeing you angry.”Tamara’s voice was soft like cotton candy. It could melt even the coldest of hearts.Sebastian let out a defeated sigh. He brightened up and brought Tamara’s hand to his lips. “You must tell me the next time you encounter danger, okay?”Tamara hummed. “Fine. I’ll let you know next time.”Sebastian gave her a helpless look. He got up and took some cotton balls to moisturize Tamara’s lips.Tamara stared longingly at him. Her feelings for him were evident in those clear eyes of hers.Sebastian’s gaze darkened. “Stop looking at me like that, Tammy.”“Why?” Tamara asked unconsciously.Sebastian leaned down and pecked her on the lips. “Want to take a guess?”Ta
