With a surge of speed, Bruno swerved, steering his black Cayenne into the city's apartment buildings. Lizzie gazed at the unfamiliar underground car park, "Where are we?" "Get out!" Bruno uttered, unemotionally."But..." Lizzie turned to look at him, but his austere face betrayed no emotion. Seeing her hesitate, Bruno exited the car, walked over to the passenger side, and yanked open the door. He grabbed her slender arm, pulling her out of the car with force, then strode forth."Bruno, let go, it hurts!" Lizzie's arm was gripped tightly by him, causing her eyebrows to furrow in pain. Bruno ignored her, stepping into the elevator with his hand still firm around her arm. Despite knowing her struggle was futile, she persisted, only causing herself more pain.Not until the elevator stopped at the thirtieth floor did Bruno release her, leading her into the room before abruptly letting go, sending her sprawling onto a nearby sofa. With a pained grunt, Lizzie touched her arm. "What did you b

Lizzie had been in the hospital for two days. Although her health had improved somewhat, Dr. Lee had yet to approve her discharge, and she had seen no sign of Bruno. Yelun and Flora had visited once the day before, leaving Mrs. Wu to care for her.Lizzie got out of bed and stood by the window, gently pushing it open to let in the warm sunlight, which illuminated her pale face, making it look translucent and feeble. She had always detested the smell of disinfectants in the hospital. She rested her feeble hands on the window sill.The door to her room creaked open, and Mrs. Wu walked in carrying a kettle. “Miss, why are you up? Are you feeling unwell? Should I call the doctor?”Lizzie shook her head, “No, Mrs. Wu, I'm fine.”“You mustn't neglect your health, Miss. The Master would be worried.” Mrs. Wu helped Lizzie back to her bed.Lizzie sat on the edge of the bed, reflecting on Mrs. Wu's words. Would he worry? It had been two days and he hadn't shown up. Wasn't he supposed to be happy

Upon hearing noises from the living room, Lizzie got up and walked in, surprised to see Yelun and Flora. "Dad, Mom, what brings you here?""We came to see you. How are you feeling now?" Yelun asked, concerned by Lizzie's slightly pale complexion."I'm fine, Dad. I need one more day of rest, and then I can go back to school tomorrow." As she finished speaking, Bruno slid beside her, pulling her into his arms and sitting down on the couch together."I would like her to rest a few more days, but she won’t." Bruno spoke softly, and if Lizzie didn't know his usual ways, she might have believed him. Unable to resist, she could only glare at him silently, but Bruno ignored her."Flora, have Mrs. Wu prepare some delicious food to help Lizzie recuperate," Yelun instructed."Understood," Flora replied, nodding."No need, I'm fine", Lizzie quickly countered, shaking her head."I will take care of Lizzie, so there's no need to go to such lengths," Bruno said, his hand resting on her shoulder.Yel

Lizzie looked at him, "Jacob, is there any point in saying this now?" "Yes." Jacob nodded forcefully, "I can protect you now. We can still be together." He said as he pulled Lizzie tightly into his arms. "Jacob, let me go! Don't do this! Let me go!" Lizzie tried to push him away, but he held her even tighter. "No, Lizzie! I won't let you go again! Never!" Jacob was determined not to let her escape this time. He would hold onto her. But did she still feel the same way?Driving his car, Bruno saw from a distance the two figures tightly embracing. His handsome face turned frosty and he stepped on the gas pedal. A few seconds later, the car stopped next to them.He got out of the car and walked over, "Seems like I've come at a bad time, interrupting your sweet moment," his sudden remark left Lizzie frozen in place.Yet Jacob still didn't let go, holding Lizzie tightly."Let go of me!" Lizzie spoke to Jacob. What was he trying to do? Challenge him head-on?Bruno approached slowly, step by

In that photograph, Lizzie snuggled into the arms of another man, her sweet smile — a smile he thought should only be for him — lighting up her face. In just one year, he had endured the longing for her, all so they could grow old together. But when he returned, things had changed. They had become two parallel lines, never to intersect again.Was she really happy? Could he believe what she had told him?"I need to see her and find out if she’s doing well." Jacob couldn't let go. Even if he had to, he needed to verify if the woman he loved was truly happy.Ruoya shook her head, "Jacob, I just returned to the country too. How would I know where she lives? The Kolo family has numerous villas and apartments. How could I possibly know?" Even if she did, she wouldn’t tell him. She wished the two of them would never meet again.Jacob sat down on the sofa, exhausted. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. Ruoya poured him a fresh cup of tea, "Jacob, have some tea first.""I'm not drinking
