Bianca was alone after Nancy left. Holding a glass of red wine, she watched the snowflakes outside, feeling a mix of romance and melancholy. But this melancholy didn't quite reach her heart anymore."I'll stay here from now on. This is a romantic city, but it also hides some demons," she said."Bia!""I took on a lawsuit.""What?" A lawsuit? What was Bianca up to?After a moment's confusion, Natalie realized what Bianca meant, especially hearing the determination in her voice. She knew exactly what Bianca was up to now. She was coming back to life.Yes! Bianca was coming back to life. Previously, even when she escaped Simeria, every time Natalie talked to her, she could feel Bianca's despair, as if there was no life left in her.But now, this determination made Natalie release a lot of her worries. "Bia...!" Natalie's tone was filled with surprise."Come in spring when you're free to visit me.""Okay." Natalie would definitely visit her. Previously, because Bianca
Nancy rushed over with a bruised face and saw her husband glaring angrily at Bianca, the stone he had intended to use to smash the door still in his hand. Now, she was afraid he might use it on Bianca!"Leaving you is her right!" Bianca spat out coldly and mechanically at the angry man.Nancy was speechless.Her right? When she heard those words, tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes. So, she did have a right! Tonight, when she was about to compromise after being beaten, hearing Bianca say the word 'right' only strengthened Nancy's determination to leave this man.But when John heard this, all his fear was washed away by anger."Who gave you women the right? I'll make you regret it!" he yelled, hurling the stone towards Bianca's head."No!" Nancy cried out in panic.However, Bianca remained cold and fearless. As she raised her hand, she was unable to catch it.But to her surprise, the expected pain didn't come!Instead, a familiar presence surrounded her. "Argh!
When Malcolm left, Bianca returned upstairs, but she couldn't continue sleeping.Despite her internal struggles during the day, she knew she couldn't escape. Yet, when the man's chilling aura enveloped her just now, she still had the instinct to recoil. She wanted to flee! But she knew that if she succumbed to that urge now, she would spend the rest of her life running away.And she didn't want that!Already restless and unable to sleep, Bianca was further agitated when she heard commotion downstairs two hours later. Though not loud, it was enough to catch her attention. Once again, she got up. She slipped on her robe because she didn't know who it could be. Being cautious, she grabbed a bottle of pepper spray before stepping out.As she stepped out, she felt the bone-chilling cold. It was impossible to feel warm without heating, especially after that scumbag broke her window. With the window broken, the warmth from inside had rapidly dissipated. Now, the ground floor was f
Nancy truly appreciated Bianca. She had considered leaving her husband before but couldn't afford the separation costs. Now that Bianca said she would help, she was happy but also worried about her husband's retaliation against Bianca.Bianca could tell what she was thinking. "Don't worry, I'll apply for a restraining order against him until your case is resolved, okay?""Is that possible?""Of course!" Bianca nodded.When Nancy heard that Bianca could apply for protection, she felt somewhat relieved. She had dreamed of leaving her husband. He was the beginning of her life's nightmare, and she was desperate to wake up. Now, the opportunity had finally come! After struggling inwardly for a few moments, Nancy nodded. "Thank you, Ms. Sanders.""Do you have family?" Bianca asked Nancy. Considering that Nancy was still living with her husband, Bianca was really worried that something might happen to her due to his violence.Nancy shook her head. "I grew up in an orphanage."
At the hospital, Bianca felt her senses overwhelmed by the strong smell of disinfectant, but she was too tired to even notice. There seemed to be a man's furious voice in her ears!"Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Malcolm grabbed the doctor's white coat, his eyes filled with dangerous hostility. The doctor had intended to offer some standard explanation, but seeing the crimson rage in Malcolm's eyes and hearing his dissatisfaction, he swallowed his words.Horatio stepped forward to pull Malcolm away. "Lord Malcolm, you're frightening the doctor."Malcolm pushed the doctor away. "What's wrong with her?""The patient's immunity is already low. In such a situation, medication should have been administered immediately without delay to control the illness."His words implied that Bianca should have taken medication the moment she noticed she was falling sick. The fact that she was in this state meant she had obviously delayed it.Malcolm's head throbbed with pain. Bianca barely ha
"Get out!" Bianca exclaimed in an icy tone without even looking at Malcolm. It was as if everything Malcolm said just now was unrelated to her.Her indifference made Malcolm feel annoyed instantly.In all his years in Simeria, everyone treated him respectfully! All women fell at his feet and clamored to marry him.Yet, this woman was actually acting this way!"Bianca!" Malcolm's tone was stern. It was clear that his patience was limited.If Bianca continued like this, he would eventually...!Bianca finally looked up after she heard the hint of loss of control in Malcolm's tone. She frowned, and her eyes had a cold, distant look. There was a thick air of aloofness and wariness around her.This was how people typically acted towards strangers.It was as if Malcolm's feelings towards her now didn't matter. Regardless of whether he loved or hated her, she would act as if she didn't know him at all!Malcolm saw that Bianca wouldn't budge an inch, so he had no choice but to force
Half an hour later, Malcolm appeared at Bianca's residence. The mountain was snowed in today, and it would have taken several days to clear the way. But Horatio knew Malcolm wouldn't rest until he saw Bianca today, so he quickly contacted the relevant authorities to clear the snow.This time, Bianca didn't dare to be careless. She obediently took her medicine. After all, she truly disliked places like hospitals.Nancy was also there."I was so worried. I thought taking the medicine would make you feel better," Nancy said in a somewhat self-blaming manner as she looked at Bianca. She felt she should have taken care of Bianca that day.Bianca shook her head. "I'm much better now, thanks.""What would you like for lunch? I'll cook for you!" Nancy said enthusiastically. After all, Bianca played such a significant role in her life now, so she wanted to do something for her.However, Bianca wasn't accustomed to the local taste here, and she knew the locals made dishes according to
She was too cold!Back when Malcolm forced her to stay by his side for revenge, he had only witnessed Bianca's cold arrogance. But now, her coldness was chilling to the bone!"Bianca!" Malcolm's voice grew sterner when he spoke again.The next moment, Bianca forcefully pulled her hand out of the man's grip. Her eyes were calm, devoid of any emotion or warmth.Malcolm was speechless.He wanted to say something about her current attitude, but faced with her icy calmness, he swallowed all the words on his tongue!She was truly too cold.Bang!The door slammed shut in Malcolm's face, as if Bianca were separating two worlds.Horatio stood not far behind, watching everything unfold. He felt a cold chill in his heart that was as cold as the snow. Snowflakes fluttered down, landing on Malcolm's head and shoulders. The relationship between him and Bianca seemed to be permanently frozen, with no way out in sight.Horatio approached, looking nervously at Malcolm. "Lord Malcolm." And
