After Sean got to the hospital, he saw Alora but did not see Jane. When he saw Alora in the hospital, she was sleeping from exhaustion.Uno knocked on the door, and Alora woke up from her sleep groggily.“It’s just you? Where’s Jane?”Alora was not the least bit guilty when she looked at Sean’s dark face. “Jane said she was thirsty, so she went to buy some water. Didn’t you see her when you came up?”She could help Jane escape, but she could not let this man know about it. Alora was still Al
How could he forget that night? That woman wanted to kill him, no? He thought one-sidedly that as long as they had a child, he could make her stay.It turned out that she had never given up on the idea of running away!He shut his eyes tightly. He opened them suddenly, and there was a determination in his eyes. He decided to risk it all. “Go! Chase her down!” There was no way she was going to get away from him! He would rather die in her hands than let her escape from him.…When Sean was ri
Sean called out, “Uno.” Uno immediately pulled out a stack of cash, almost five thousand in all. “Here, sir. A gift from our boss. We came out in a hurry so we don’t have a lot of cash right now. Hope you don’t mind.”As he said that, he ignored the fact that cabbie was completely stunned. Uno just stuffed the money into the cabbie’s hands and chased after Sean, getting into the car.“Call and ask if there are any other flights to Xiamen right about now. Find out if the most recent one has tak
Eventually, she slowly threaded the ring on the chain Alora had given her and put it back around her neck.Now that she was traveling light, she bought a plane ticket to Lijiang.It was only when the plane took off that she let out a long breath. As she felt the plane rise, she knew that her hopes were rising with it. She had finally escaped from that quagmire!The sky over Lijiang was very blue and very close, so close that she could almost touch it if she just reached out her hand. The seco
He shot a look at Uno, who was kneeling in front of him. “Why did you swap out the documents? Are you in cahoots with that old b*stard Summers? Then tell me, where is she?”Where was she? That was what he really wanted to know!“I… I don’t know where the madam is. I… I just gave in to a moment of weakness.”“Enough!” the man barked before massaging his brow. “I only care about one thing. Where is she?” As for Uno, Sean did not give a damn about him at all right now. “Your role here is done. S
“I was wrong about Rosaline Summers. She looked sweet on the surface but was a snake inside. She bribed some thugs to assault Jane and ruin her reputation, but she had no idea that the hunter was also the hunted. You didn’t expect this either, did you? After Rosaline’s karma came back to bite her and she was raped, Grandpa hinted to Summers that the master of the Stewarts could not marry an unclean woman. To think Summers actually did it, killing Rosaline and pinning the crime on Jane. The trail
Yet, the truth behind that power struggle was… that Jane ended up suffering the most of all!She took the fall and crashed from heaven into hell. Right now, Michael suddenly really wanted to know what that woman was thinking!“How did you find out about all this? Even if you managed to discover what Summers and I did, what about the Old Master? I can’t believe that he would leave a trail of his dirty deeds and let you find him out.” Michael looked at Sean coolly.All the cards were on the tab
It had been five days!The man in the study was emanating an immense chill.As he expected, Michael was not completely clueless, but it seemed that he had lost the trail as well. Dos had been secretly tailing Michael the entire time, and he watched as the latter found the cabbie who brought Jane to Hangzhou. After that, he stopped.Michael Luther had followed the same train of thought as Sean had.Sean pulled his lips into an ironic smile… Back then, all of them had a hand in the incident, some of them on purpose and others by accident. Finally, that woman ended up the sacrificial lamb in the war they fought, so she was cast into that steel cage.Now, though, lo and behold, she had single-handedly managed to give all of them the slip, stowing away without as much as a ripple on the lake.“Bravo, sweetheart.” He smiled to himself bitterly.Knock knock.“Come in.”“It’s me, Boss.” The visitor was Alora.The rustle from the bed approached her slowly, and a dark shadow fell over.
"Your grandfather loved your grandmother like a man possessed."By the time I finished hearing out my grandparents' story, I fell silent. I no longer blamed my grandfather for not knowing his heart, and I no longer blamed Grandma for being uncertain. It was just as Grandma Alora said. It was only because one of the two of them stopped obsessing and took a step back that they ended up living happily ever after. I could not help but wonder. What if Grandma simply refused to turn back at the e
Even then, I found it unbelievable. I ran to my dad's room and immediately asked, "Is Grandpa a pervert? I saw him hugging Grandma's foot just now. Does he have a foot fetish?""Your grandfather is warming your grandmother's feet. Your grandmother's body isn't in its best shape, and her hands and feet are always ice-cold. Your grandfather can't bear to see her like that. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and never mention it to him.""But why?""Because your grandfather will make you writ
My name was Luka Stewart. It was a weird name, right? Like ‘look! A stew.’My grandfather gave me my name. All my many years of experience as a kid told me that my grandfather was not a good guy.All else aside, just look at the name he gave me. He had a perfectly nice name himself, but he had to give me such a weird one.However, every time I protested about it to him, he always said that it was my dad's fault. If Dad had been a girl, that would have been his name instead. See, Grandpa was
On the twentieth day after the surgeryHe saw the person he had his heart set on.“Elior said you were at your wedding on the day I woke up.” He fell quiet again after his initial excitement. It felt as though there was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to pull the thorn out, but it hurt just to touch it.“Is Michael Luther… good to you?”“Yeah, pretty much.”There was pain in his eyes and he hurriedly lowered them, putting on a gracious act.“Congratulations. From now on, you’ll finally be
“Not too long ago, I woke up one morning and realized that I was trapped behind bars again. He had installed metal grilles over all the windows in the room.“In my eyes, those bars were no different from the ones in prison six years ago.“He tried everything to imprison me. He only finally let go when he’s sick and dying.“He said something about getting tired of this game and getting bored of me. I believed him.“He’s dying, so he lets go.“Is that supposed to show how generous and loving
“See? Master White agrees. Move aside and don’t stop me, the boss is in a lot of danger right now!” Dos’ expression was vicious. “I need to stop…”Halfway through his sentence, the three people outside heard some mortifying noises coming from inside the room.They were all experienced in the ways of life, so no matter how slow they might be, they still understood what those noises meant.Dos’ face instantly turned completely red.“Go on, kick the door down. Your boss is in danger,” Alora tea
After the second apple, there was the third... By the time he reached the fifth, he looked at the apple in his hand with a troubled expression. No matter how much he liked fruit, he still could not eat so many at once. Besides, he never liked apples to begin with.“Eat some more, or you won’t have the strength,” she said calmly. He was completely stumped. The strength? The strength for what?The wheels in his brain were still turning as he tried to process her words when the woman by his bed
At the hospital, the ward door opened without a sound. This time, Dos did not report the arrival in advance.When Elior arrived in a hurry, he immediately saw that woman.Before he said anything, Alora pulled him back out into the corridor. The door opened and closed again.The man on the bed lay on his side, fast asleep.No one knew what he was dreaming about, but the deep frown on his face showed that he did not have pleasant dreams.His hand rested on the covers, his wedding ring still a
"Don't worry, this time Sean Stewart won't disturb you again. He never will anymore. "Go and do what you do best, Jane Dunn. Run away!"With those words, Alora turned and left.She did not know what she was mad about. Perhaps she was not mad at all, just a little sorry about the whole state of affairs.It was almost as though she was the one who was not getting her happy ending. In her eyes, one of them had done wrong in the past and was now filled with regret, determined to turn over a n
