Serena leaned back and rested her head against the back of the chair, listening quietly to the phone ring, wondering how long the other person would be calling.She pulled out her cell phone and counted the time until half an hour had passed before the phone stopped ringing completely.That's pretty persistent.Mentally taunting herself, she stepped on the gas and drove the car to the hospital.Arriving in front of the detention room, she caught a glimpse of Daniel leaning against the wall.Daniel had lost a lot of weight and had a somber, cool aura about him, his eyes staring straight into the detention room.He didn't have much of an expression when he saw her coming.Serena found the doctor and asked how things were going, relieved to know that Scarlett's health was improving.She had just emerged from the doctor's office when she saw Joanne.Joanne stood in front of Daniel, crying pitifully."Daniel, you haven't been home for a long time, I'm your wife, oooooooh, and now I'm pregn
Nathan was a little helpless, where did he expect to see this scene when he arrived at the hospital.The boss had planned to change his medication at home, but when he heard that Madam had come to the hospital, he followed.They all thought that Serena was there to see Scarlett, not realizing that she was there to see Jack.Matthew's face sank almost physically, his eyes dead as he stared at Serena.Their movements were soft, and the two of them looked like a couple in hot love.Serena finally felt the blazing sight as she finished feeding her water, and as soon as she turned her head, she was confronted by Matthew.Almost unconsciously, she tried to pull her hand back, but Jack's grip remained tight, and unless she cut this sleeve off, it wouldn't go away until he woke up.There were no fruit knives in the hospital room, and the only thing she had in her bag was a nail clipper, so trying to cut her clothes was impossible."That was touching."Matthew's mouth spat it out weakly, his f
She reached out and tugged at the hem of Serena's cloak, tears in the corners of her eyes.Though this face resembles Serena, the aura is worlds apart, as Serena would never show such an expression, let alone casually kneel before others.She looked down at the face, and it was indeed beautiful, an ethereal and pitiful kind of beautiful."Madam, Matthew said I look like his first love, but wasn't his first love you? I've heard that he never had any women around him until he married you, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, if I'd known that you weren't divorced yet, I wouldn't have gone to the hotel with him for any reason."Serena smiled, raised her hand and took the pen from the receptionist and wrote down a series of numbers, "I'm the one who should apologize, it's me who didn't control my husband, but as you know, this man cheats, the poor one is the woman, since he dares to do it, it proves that he really doesn't have me in his heart, how can I control him, this is her grandpa's phone nu
"Serena, say my name."Serena's mind was suddenly flooded with another scene of the same passion.Her eyes were momentarily confused, and she seemed to see a tall building, to see herself clinging to the man's neck, not daring to let go.Her feet were dozens of stories high, and if she let go, it would all be over.The man's laugh was mad and wanton, "If you don't put your arms around me, you're dead, Serena, and if you want to live, you'll have to depend on me."He deliberately didn't use his hands to pull her, deliberately made her afraid so she would have to climb on top of him.The scene shifted and she was pulled up, frightened, and he began to want her again and again.She didn't have the strength to fight him, and he liked her obedience, even if it was short-lived."Serena, say my name."There were tall buildings behind them, and if he had a heart, she'd die.She didn't dare not to scream.Serena's body went limp and her mind returned immediately.She lowered her head and took
She lifted the covers and went to the window to look out, there were lights downstairs and it looked like the man was still in the mansion.Within moments she saw him walking out the door with Nathan beside him.Serena stood at the window, listening to the car's engine, her eyes devoid of emotion.It wasn't until the car was gone that she pursed her lips for a second and went back to bed to rest.She thought she would not be able to sleep, but the truth was that she slept as soon as she touched the bed and slept through the next morning.She didn't ask the servant where Matthew had gone; it didn't take much guessing to realize that he must be out of the country and on his way to rescue a woman.She finished her breakfast quietly and took out a few law books to read.As she read the book, she was so focused that she almost immediately forgot all about Matthew.Looking up at the sky outside, she noticed that it was almost dark.She put the book down deliberately, her mind still thinking
Serena had no doubt that the man was telling the truth, she could even feel his sharp teeth grinding at the back of her neck.She raised her hand and knocked his mask right off.A flash of surprise crossed the man's eyes, which turned to overwhelming anger.Serena didn't even get a chance to see what he looked like before she was pinned to the seat with her hands cuffed behind her back."You don't want to live?"His voice was grim, and the force of his restraints on her hadn't lessened at all, and she felt like her hands were about to break.She pursed her lips, her tone mocking, "Since I'm going to die sooner or later, let's see what's wrong with you before I die? Otherwise, when I get to the afterlife, I won't even know what the person who hurt me looks like, how can I find you for revenge in my next life?"Not knowing which words had pleased him, he loosened his grip a little and slipped the mask into her hand."Put it back on."Serena's eyes flashed, thinking she could take the op
Serena is like a fish on a knife edge, ready to be slaughtered.Vincent didn't know what he had given her, and in the blink of an eye she fainted.Vincent wanted to bend over and carry Serena away, but the look from the side of the room was too dark and hot, so he could only cough softly, "Master, why don't you do it?"The man gave him a look and bent down to pick Serena up, going straight to the lower level of the estate and putting the person in the car.He planted a kiss on her lips and looked at Vincent and said weakly, "I want her alive."Vincent shuddered in his heart and stood up quickly, "Don't worry Master, even if Matthew doesn't save Madam, Madam won't be in any danger.""Uh-huh."The man turned and walked back into the mansion.Vincent breathed a sigh of relief, a little puzzled that his master would treat Serena like that.He'd never seen the other man kiss a woman three times before.On the other side, Nathan and Sherry waited in the building, their brows furrowed with c
The fire began to spread around her and she choked on her tears.She moved her wrists, but they were bound tightly.The fire grew fiercer and fiercer, and there was the sound of gunfire from outside, dense at first and then fading to a sparse sound that seemed to be the end of the battle.The fire here began to come at her in a frenzy, and she could even feel the rolling heat coming from her back.Serena's eyes became more and more disoriented and she finally fainted.The moment Matthew turned to leave, she suddenly wasn't afraid of death at all; even if she was being burned inch by inch by the fire here, it didn't seem like anything to be afraid of.It would be better to burn the hope in her heart to ashes all at once.In her stupor, she had a very long dream about a snowy night when she was taken into an alley by a strange man who was desperately sucking her blood to tear the flesh from her neck.In her hand was a warm cup of milk that she had bought from a street vendor for only th
Serena breathed a sigh of relief as she looked down at her stomach, it hadn't been long since that baby was aborted, and to suddenly have another one that big was too much for her to digest.She and Matthew both owed that baby, so much."I brought her to Hustleburg, she'll be here later."Matthew carried her upstairs and got her clean clothes out of the closet, "Why don't you change."Serena didn't take them but asked blankly, "Is Jack really dead?"Matthew's hand froze and his mouth turned a little bitter, "Maybe."Serena felt something collapse inside her, she shivered and took the clean set of clothes, "Matthew, I'm sorry if I'm being unfair to you by saying that I cared about him, but I really can't accept that he's dead, even though we're separated, I still want him to be alive, I saw him once when I was a kid when he was hidden in a garbage can , dirty and smelly, and I saw endless darkness in his eyes, like it was going to swallow me up, and that's when I thought how wonderful
Serena's eyes instantly widened as if she had heard something heavenly.Lorraine took in her shocked expression and the corner of her mouth hooked up, ''Serena, did you hear that? Will you forgive him when he admits he killed Jack?"Serena lowered her eyes and slipped her hands into her pockets, "I'm not sure if I'll forgive him, but I won't forgive you."Having stirred up trouble a few times, having her life on the line a few times, Lorraine was her enemy.Lorraine still had the gun in her hand and felt like she'd heard a joke.Now that Serena was the fish and she was the chopping block, she wanted to see how this woman would not forgive her."Pfft."A dagger plunged into her chest and her hand holding the gun was swatted away by Serena, the pain in that moment felt as if it was going to break through her heart.Lorraine didn't have time to say a word as she stared at the woman in front of her as if she'd never known her before.Serena pulled the dagger out and wiped it on her shirt.
"You think I'm going to believe you?"She and Matthew had been picked on so many times, how could she repeat the same mistake.Lorraine's face froze, seeing the determination on Serena's face, she suddenly felt sad, "Serena, you've been so mesmerized by that man that you can't even think calmly anymore, do you know why I'm in such a mess? It's because Matthew is after me, she won't let me come to your side, she won't let me tell this truth, I've called you countless times, but every call reveals my whereabouts, it means that your cell phone is in his hands, why is he so defensive of me, it's because he's trying to hide it from you!"Serena suddenly remembers her cell phone from the morning, she obviously kept it by her side, but after Matthew left, her phone disappeared.The next thing she knew was that Nathan had come to pick her up to take her back to Pines Ridge, they had only just gotten divorced and there was no reason for her to go back to Pines Ridge, but he had said he had som
The driver nodded silently, sometimes not understanding what the man was thinking, why he was suddenly in Hustleburg, and why he was after Serena.But no one dared disobey his orders.Oscar leaned his body back, his mind a little scrambled with thoughts.With his help, Lorraine, who had been in a dead end, had gotten her life back.But no matter how much she called Serena, there was no answer on the other end.She dialed the number over and over again in disbelief and ended up revealing her location once again.She already knew that after returning to Hustleburg, she would be hunted down by Matthew, but what she didn't expect was that the other party was so relentless, not giving her any chance, and forcefully trying to put her to death!The more relentless Matthew is, the more unwilling she is!The two people who came to her rescue were very good, such a body is placed in the city of sin, is also the best.She didn't know who they were, the only thing she understood was that if she w
She opened her eyes to look at him in confusion and nodded slowly when she heard him ask.Matthew held her tighter, loving her more with every minute the memories awakened.Unfortunately at that time Maxwell thought captivity was love, possession was love, pushing her heart further and further away.Before she met the grown-up Serena, there were many women in Sin City who loved Maxwell, adored his mystery, longed for his might, and were even obsessed with his harsh posture of living in the shadow of the sword and the darkness of the world.Instead, he favored the hundred turns of the wind and moon that Serena gave her.Matthew held her close, harshly wiping the sweat from his forehead on her cheeks, and smiled, "Sleep."Serena found a comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep.When she woke up the next day, she tentatively explored her side and sure enough, she felt a hot man's torso.What happened last night was not a dream, he really came back.She got up in a hurry, thinking
Once Lorraine's matter was settled, Matthew went to see Richard.Richard was still in the ICU, under observation, and his current condition was hard to predict.He stood outside the glass room for a while observing and listening to the doctor talk about Richard's physical condition.Not long after, Vincent came over in a hurry, "Master, word just came from Jessie's house that Lorraine has escaped."Matthew's eyes quickly flashed with a hint of hostility, that woman is still not dead by now, is she going to find Serena?"Find her, check the flight to Hustleburg, don't let her go to Hustleburg."Vincent nodded and was just about to turn around when Matthew spoke up again, "Since Jessie's family can't keep an eye on people, don't keep them when you find them, for good."Vincent's footsteps lurched, he thought that his master was more or less attached to Miss Lorraine, he never thought that he would go this far, "Okay."Matthew immediately returned to the Purple Garden, frowning as he wai
I don't know how long it was before someone lifted the lid of the trash can.At that moment, he was dirty and smelly, his eyes glaring at her, viciously trying to scare her away.Unexpectedly, she placed a bunch of frozen candy canes in front of him, "Are you hungry?"He was hungry, so hungry that he didn't have the strength to run away, the red colored ice candy gourd, the sugar stains on it were bright and shiny, making people salivate.But he couldn't pull the face to pick it up, he hated her, hated her sunny smile, and hated the contrast between the two now.He was dirty and smelly and she looked like a fairy popping out of a yearbook, something so hopeful that it shouldn't be in his world.She seemed to read his mind as she said, "I'm allergic to icing, you eat it."She cupped his chin and poked the sugar gourd into his mouth, the sweet flavor instantly relieving the hungry cramped stomach."You should probably not come out and wander around next time, my Mary said there are a lo
Byron shut up instantly, though his dislike for Serena deepened a little more inside.Matthew returned to the bedroom and opened the door, nearly passing out from the pain.Byron brought him two painkillers, a little worried, "It's not a good idea for you to keep hurting like this, if you can't think about it, don't think about it.""Byron, did you know that Matthew and I are one and the same?"Byron placed the pills in his palm and shook his head, "I actually suspected it, so I wasn't too surprised when you called me the other day to tell me, you've always just been secretive, and you've been missing a lot, and you've rarely taken off your mask, and sometimes I've wondered if someone else could've taken your place, and then you've gone on to do something else, but if you're not willing to talk about it, we won't ask. "Matthew swallowed the two pills and saw that it was getting dark outside and waved his hand, "Get out, let me get some sleep."Byron understood and didn't continue to
Shortly after Vincent left, Jessie's family came to visit, the current head of Jessie's family is Lorraine's father, called Hunter.Hunter was very elegant looking, in Sin City, the more decadent the person was, the more he looked like an ordinary person."Lorraine has returned, the matter of the elders, it is indeed our Jessie family that is at a disadvantage."Matthew coldly hooked his lips and tapped his fingertips on the table, "I heard that she is trying to use the Elder to threaten Matthew, so that Matthew will get engaged to her."Hunter's brows furrowed fiercely, he did not know about this matter, he only knew that Lorraine went to Hustleburg, he did not realize that she was looking at Matthew.A flash of anger crossed his eyes, "Matthew is not from Sin City, Lorraine shouldn't get involved with him.""Jessie family head you also said, this matter is your Jessie family's rightful loss in the front, the Elder is still in resuscitation now, if anything happens to him, the Harrin
