Josephine phoned Conrad to settle matters for when Jewel returned to the country. She had promised to let Jewel work in Jovance Corporation. So, she had to keep her word.Conrad said it was no problem to handle everything. He'd inform the company, and Jewel could start work after the New Year.Jewel felt utterly relieved after receiving the news. She still didn't know what Josephine was here for. After all, Josephine's company was far from the Leigh family, so Josephine had no reason to come this far to attack the Leighs.Even if Josephine had some kind of business competition with the Leighs, she didn't have to come in person. Yet, she did. She even bought a house here.Jewel hesitantly asked, "Aren't you heading back, too?"Josephine shook her head. "I'll see how things are before deciding.""Okay, then." It wasn't Jewel's place to ask too much. So, she headed to her room and packed her bags. By joining Josephine's company, she was betraying her current workplace. She couldn'

His words were ambiguous. The doctor was confused."That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself. I'm taking this thing with me."The doctor picked up the tray and left the room.Lewis leaned back on the sofa. He stared at the doctor indifferently and sunk into contemplation....Meanwhile, Josephine had already arrived at Sanbury Hills. It was around noon. The two first checked in to the hotel, where they had reserved a room and had lunch downstairs.It was indeed snowing outside. The clothes they brought weren't enough to keep out the cold. So they went shopping for thicker clothes and wrapped themselves up.Avery nudged her arm. "Since we're already here, you should enjoy yourself. Why are you frowning so much?"Josephine tried to force a smile."Never mind." Avery gave up. They returned to the hotel to get some rest. Elliot still couldn't change the habit of sleeping during the day.The place was crowded with many tourists. They almost couldn't get a hotel room.Left

Elliot tugged at her sleeves and struggled to speak. He managed to produce a sound that sounded somewhere between "daddy" and "mommy." But Josephine couldn't distinguish between the two.She decided to consider it as Elliot calling her."Good boy." She pinched Elliot's chubby cheeks. "Try saying it again.""Daddy ..."Josephine was left speechless.Handing him back to Avery, Josephine said, "I need to sleep. You take care of him."Avery burst into laughter. "You're really a jerk. Look, you made your mom upset."Elliot didn't understand Avery. He pouted and crawled onto Josephine."Never mind, you should look after him. Maybe you'll hear him call you 'mommy' in a while."Avery patted Elliot's bottom and left. "I'm going to bed."The two were left alone in the room. Elliot and Josephine stared at each other.Josephine glared at him while he innocently climbed onto her.Josephine picked him up again and stared at his little face. "I'll give you one more chance. Say 'mommy.'"

Josephine arrived at the door and pressed the doorbell, but nobody responded.Josephine waited for a while. Unwilling to give up, she pressed it again, but still, there was no answer.Avery approached her and said, "Forget it. He's probably not home. It's the New Year. He should be at the Leighs."Josephine thought Avery made sense. Indeed, the Leighs usually spent the New Year with their family.The mention of "family" hit her hard. It felt like a knife had just pierced her heart. She turned around and walked away.She followed Avery back to the villa. Avery patted her on the shoulder. "It's alright. You have me to celebrate the New Year with you. Besides, there's still some time left. Let me check if we can order some food."Avery slumped on the sofa and glanced at the takeout options. Oddly enough, it seemed there were no available options.She put down her phone. "I'll see what you have to eat."She opened the fridge in the kitchen but found it empty.She only found two pa

Soon, the man's face was revealed.Josephine's eyes trembled. She staggered backward and stared at him in disbelief.He had a red mark under his left eye. It didn't look like a birthmark but more like a trace of being burned.Despite that, his overall facial features were well-defined, and his eyes bore some resemblance to Josephine's. They appeared innocent and clear. Who would imagine he was the Thunder Reapers at first glance?Josephine thought that the mark must be the reason he wore a mask.When their eyes met, there was nothing else left to say. They had confirmed their relationships in their hearts.Josephine opened her mouth, but her words were stuck. She couldn't utter a sound. Mixed emotions overwhelmed her.Josef stared at her for a few seconds and said, "Do you know who I am?"Josephine blankly nodded and then shook her head.He was her brother, but which one?Josef sighed deeply and looked at the child in her arms. Elliot had woken up at some point. He was curiou
