Megan arrived first, holding fruits in one hand and flowers in the other. When she saw Celeste, she hurriedly put down her things and rushed over to caress her bandaged arms. Megan immediately tearing up."Does it hurt a lot? The doctor said you had several stitches.""It's okay. I'm used to it. I often get injured; you know that." It did hurt, but Celeste could take it. She intentionally appeared carefree and gave Megan an assuring smile."I can't believe you're still smiling!" Noticing Celeste's indifference, Megan couldn't help but reproach her, "You have to be careful in the future. I'm prepared to sue this hospital. How can they allow anyone to walk in freely? If you hadn't been mentally strong, the baby might have been..." Megan couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. Celeste felt fuzzy in her heart as she noticed Megan's reddened eyes."Accidents happen even when you're careful. I'll try to be more careful in the future." She hurriedly comforted Megan.Megan nodd

Celeste was stunned as she watched the spoon approaching her mouth. In the past, when they were together, she could eat if she wanted to and refuse if she didn't. But now, in this situation, she could only open her mouth to accept the food; refusing would be impolite. So, Celeste opened her mouth and drank the soup from the spoon. It was a bit hot. She furrowed her brows slightly but didn't say anything.Damon blew on the next spoonful before feeding it to her again. They had been intimate countless times together and exchanged countless kisses, but Celeste felt none of them were as suggestive as this. Damon blew on the soup in the spoon and fed it to her. His stern eyes appeared focused and gentle.Celeste's breathing suddenly quickened. She did her prenatal checkup on an empty stomach and only had a few spoonfuls of soup Megan fed her in the afternoon. She was famished. She drank half a bowl of soup with Damon's help. She wanted to tell him she could do it on her own, but the words

Before long, a series of photos were uploaded to Instagram from an overseas account.It was titled "Low-profile and discreet governmental official, Director X was with his wife on a trip."There were nine pictures, with Leila and the high-ranking official coming out of a place after each other. They were not intimate and maintained arm-length distance in the photos. Yet, they carried a sense of familiarity with each other, deliberately maintaining distance between themselves. Their eyes met in one of the photos, indicating they had things to discuss."This is not Director X's wife, but the wife of a Carlino real estate businessman," someone replied, posting Leila's Wikipedia page.Then, the Instagram account deleted the photos and was deactivated within half an hour. This was enough to catch the attention of the "higher-ups." Leila and the high-ranking official frequently appeared together at events, being mistaken for a couple by foreign netizens. Clearly, something was up.It wa

The beautiful woman named Georgina, who was usually so dignified and aloof, was now shedding tears in front of Celeste.With the first tear came the second, and soon, they were streaming down her face like broken beads.It was late at night. Celeste had already sent the night staff to bed, leaving only the two of them in the vast living room.Celeste stood up to fetch some tissues and handed them to Georgina. She silently watched her until she eventually stopped crying and wiped the droplets from her eyelashes. Only then did they resume their conversation."This coat I'm wearing, he made it for me himself back then," Georgina said.Celeste remembered the story Lawrence told about Diego skinning a live mink. She felt a shiver run down her spine. Looking at Georgina again, all she could sense was the stench of blood.Georgina, Diego, and the now-deceased Jonah, none of them deserved sympathy.They disregarded life, ignored moral principles, and were cold-blooded and selfish.Her

Celeste sat opposite Diego. She poured him a cup of tea and slowly handed it to him."Interestingly, Mrs. Radcliffe also had Earl Grey tea when she visited," she said and noted the brief sparkle in Diego's eyes.Celeste doubted Diego was entirely in the dark about what Georgina had said when she came to her.He probably just wanted to hear what Georgina had said from someone else. This might be a kind of comfort to him, perhaps."Did she beg you not to expose the two of us?" Diego had none of the manners or etiquette of a noble gentleman. His questions were blunt and direct as if he were interrogating a criminal.Still, Celeste saw no need to argue and simply nodded. "Yes, that's correct.""What exactly did she say?"Diego didn't care much about whether Celeste agreed or not.Celeste poured herself a glass of water and drank it slowly."Mrs. Radcliffe said you still have to live on, and this matter would be a fatal blow to your reputation. She hoped I would show mercy."Fol
