Katherine avoided his gaze and said, "I am afraid Joe will misunderstand.""Joe instructed me to take good care of you before he left..."Katherine's face changed slightly, "Oh, really? He must feel more at ease if his childhood buddy takes care of me."Seeing her play dumb, Nathan suppressed the pain in his heart and said, "Kathy, you know my feelings for you..."Katherine coldly interrupted him, "But I only love Joe.""Joseph doesn't like you!""Nathan!""..."Afterward, there was a moment of silence in the ward.Later, as if he realized his audacity, Nathan's tone softened slightly. "I'm sorry."Katherine turned her head slightly and spoke coldly, "I'm tired. Please leave."Nathan could only say helplessly, "Alright, I'll leave now. Have a good rest."Just as he reached the door, he stopped and said earnestly, "You said that no matter whether Joe likes you or not, you won't give up. Well, now I'm telling you, I'm the same. I won't give up."After saying that, he turned around and l

"Who are you?""...""How do you know about the whereabouts of Ruth?""..."The masked man in black remained silent while Isabella appeared unusually calm.She kept asking questions to distract the other person's attention while quietly unzipping her bag.After a moment, she held a silver needle in her hand."Tell me, where is Ruth?!"The man in black swiftly drew out a shiny dagger from behind and without hesitation, stabbed it towards her face.At the critical moment, Isabella aimed at the fingertip of the man's right hand and pricked it with the needle.With a crisp sound, the dagger fell to the ground.It fell right into a narrow and elongated crack.That was close!The man in black kept blowing on his pricked finger. It seemed that it hurt a lot.Isabella didn't have time to catch her breath.She aimed at the man's shoulder this time.The man in black seemed aware of it.He was only touched by the needle and quickly dodged to the side.A burst of car horns sounded timely.It was

At this time, the lights shone, and the streets were bustling with pedestrians. The exciting nightlife of New York also began, but it was not as lively as in the Night Bar.Under the dizzying lights, a group of men and women danced on the dance floor, fueled by the restless music and alcohol.Isabella couldn't help but have a headache.She squeezed her way to the bar and asked, "Hello, please help me check the private room that Helen Payten booked.""Okay, Miss, it's 305."Isabella hated to keep others waiting and arrived earlier.During the wait, Isabella felt a bit bored and took out the silver needle from her bag. She noticed faint traces of blood on the tip.It turned out that the second attack made the person bleed.Isabella was in a better mood.Wait a minute! The area that was being pricked was...Just as she was thinking, a polite waiter knocked and came in."Miss, here is your drink.""I didn't order any drinks...""It's complimentary.""Oh, thank you. Just put it there."She

After a crazy night, Isabella saw red marks all over her body. With a resentful look, she turned her head and glared at the culprit next to her, who was still fast asleep.In fact, Joseph had been very careful. However, her skin was too fair and delicate. Even a little force would leave obvious marks.Isabella didn't care about that. She only blamed him for not knowing to be gentle. Even though he was eager to save her, he couldn't...However, her gaze was unconsciously attracted by his hot figure: well-proportioned and attractive eight-pack abs, broad shoulders, and narrow waist.In charge of the entire Parker Group, he was always busy with work and surprisingly managed to maintain such a great physique. He was much better than those middle-aged male celebrities who easily gained weight.If he had entered the entertainment industry, he would definitely have become a top star or something.Suddenly, Joseph said with tenderness, "Do you like it?" It instantly brought her back to the me

On the way back to Green Bay with Ruth, Isabella received a message from Richard.The hospital interview for next Tuesday was suddenly rescheduled to this afternoon, and even Richard was not quite sure about the specific reason.Isabella didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she quickly settled Ruth and gave a brief instruction to Eason and Jenna. Then, she hurriedly changed into a professional outfit and left.When Isabella arrived at the hospital, she saw a crowd of people gathered on the other side of the road. It seemed someone had fainted.Isabella was running a bit late. However, after hesitating for a few seconds, she gritted her teeth and ran across the road.She pushed through the crowd and made her way to the front. An old man in a black shirt was lying on the ground in the middle. His hair was gray, and he appeared to be around sixty or seventy years old.The old man had a pale complexion, his eyes tightly closed, and there were slight traces of vomiti
