An hour later, Dahlia changed her card and called Stella.
The other party was just in a state of no answer all the time.
I dialed five times in a row, and it wasn't until the sixth call that the phone was answered.
Dahlia was furious and shouted, "Why didn't you answer the phone? Do you want your mom to die quickly?"
Stella pretended to be very scared, "I didn't hear anything."
Dahlia angrily grounded her teeth and said, "I left a blue box in the corner of the utility room. It contained half of the antidote. Go and get it for your mother to take. This way, it could prolong her life."
Stella busily said she knew and then proceeded to do as instructed by the other party.
Half an hour later, Dahlia called again to ask about Stella's condition.
When he learned that the old man's condition had indeed improved, he began to manipulate Stella. "Taking only half of the antidote will accelerate the process of death. In four hours, your m
Zoey examined Carolyn and found that her eyes had a reaction to light.She felt a sense of joy in her heart, Carolyn was about to wake up.She held the girl's hand and said, "Carolyn, come on! You can do it!"Afterwards, she checked on Ariella and her grandmother, expecting that both of them would wake up within three days.She administered injections to several people one by one before leaving the hospital.Just as I walked out of the hospital entrance, I saw a black Bentley parked below the steps.The driver's cabin door opened, and Troy quickly got out of the car, walked around the back of the car, and opened the rear door. He nodded slightly and said, "Madam."Zoey was surprised because Russell said he would wait for her at home, but he unexpectedly came to pick her up."Troy worked hard," she laughed.Troy nodded slightly, "It was not hard, it was expected."Zoey got into the car and the back door was closed.
In the hospital ICU.After seeing Carolyn, Zoey conducted a series of examinations on her to confirm that she could be transferred to a regular ward.Waking up, Carolyn looked a bit confused, which worried Braylen and Aubrie.Aubrie pulled Zoey aside outside the ward and whispered, "Zoey, why do I feel like Carolyn wasn't quite right?"Zoey looked through the small window on the door of the hospital room and saw Carolyn leaning against the head of the bed. "Aunt-in-law, Carolyn might have lost her memory. She can't remember what happened to her, so let's not make her think about it for now.""Will she permanently lose her memory?"Zoey shook her head, "This cannot be determined, we can only take it one step at a time."Aubrie sighed lightly and said, "Even if she lost her memory, it doesn't matter. What's important is that she is still alive, living well and safe."Zoey shook her hand and said, "Don't worry, besides amnesia, Ca
The first thing Carolyn did when she got home was to look for the packaging box and instruction manual of the robot dog.When she took a photo of the serial number to send it to Carsen, a string of unfamiliar numbers came in.Because she was kidnapped, her phone was smashed and lost by the kidnappers. All the contact information was stored in the phone, so she got a new phone and only had a few people's numbers in it.After she picked up, she said hello.A gentle female voice sounded, "Carolyn, it's Lola. Are you at home?"Carolyn recognized the voice as Lola's, but she pretended not to have heard, "Lola?""I was Lola, you know! We used to be good, it seems like you forgot about me."Carolyn sighed, "I'm sorry, I don't remember many people. So, does Lola have something to tell me?"Lola chuckled lightly and said, "Carsen asked you to hand over the packaging box and instruction manual to me, and I will take them home."Ca
"It didn't take long, mainly because I was afraid your acting skills were too poor and would reveal flaws," Royce said, as he scratched his nose bone, somewhat unreasonably.Carsen chuckled, "I wasn't good at acting, but what about Madeleine? She's a film queen!"Brodie said, "If Madeleine knew that Zoey is our biological sister, no movie star could suppress this kind of joy. The light in her eyes couldn't be hidden."Carsen's mouth twitched, anyway you guys were right!Royce squinted his eyes, "After listening to this recording, we know that Lola had already recognized the Harmon family, but she was worried about her own position, so she kept it a secret. We have been searching for Lola's relatives for years without success, but it turns out that the other party was already prepared, so we couldn't find them at all. That's also the reason why we couldn't find Zoey.""Since Lola and Ariana are sisters, there is no such thing as Lola being kidnapped
After seeing off the Keller family, it was already noon.Zoey followed Leanna back to the office and shared the Spicy Prawn and milk tea that Leanna had ordered.The two of them sat on the carpet beside the coffee table, rolled up their sweater sleeves, and started peeling shrimp.Leanna took a sip of her finger and said, "The Keller family is really nice, it seems like they genuinely like you. Zoey, you didn't have a good time with the Harmon family before. Honestly, are you sad about Ariana's death and Dahlia being captured?"Zoey paused her hand peeling the shrimp.Feeling sad?As soon as she remembered her tragic death in her previous life and how Russell killed himself for her, she hated him so much that she gritted her teeth. How could she possibly be sad?As for Dahlia, she longed for motherly love, but she had never experienced it, so she was extremely disappointed.Could Dahlia not know that Ariana wanted her heart? Co
Zoey and Russell extinguished the fire and sat on the swing in the yard, waiting for Leanna and Toby.Zoey looked up at the night sky, gripping the swing ropes with both hands, and pushed off the ground with her feet, slowly swaying back and forth."When I was a child, I always envied Ariana. She had things that I didn't have, she could play things that I couldn't play. I could only stand aside and watch her count rows of dolls. It wasn't until my grandfather came that I got my first doll. That doll was quite ugly, but I thought no one would like it or choose it, so I brought it home. That night, I slept hugging the doll. We were like two lonely souls huddling together for warmth. The next day, I went to kindergarten, while Ariana got sick and stayed home to recover. When I came back home, I found that the doll had one eye missing, one leg broken, and its face was smeared with eyeshadow, making it even uglier."The exhaled white mist blurred Zoey's face, but one
The silver moonlight spilled over the courtyard, and the plane tree leaves, and lawn were covered with a thin layer of snow, giving it a somewhat desolate appearance.Russell, Zoey, Toby, and Leanna sat around the fireplace, eating and drinking while chatting and laughing, oblivious to the cold.Unconsciously, it became late into the night, and Leanna was intoxicated.She sniffed and looked at Russell with red eyes, "You, treat Zoey well! She is such a good girl, but she has such a difficult family. I feel sorry for her! What else does she have to do to earn even a little bit of care from her family? Zoey is the best girl in the world, I come second! Hahaha..."Zoey raised her hand to her forehead, knowing that Leanna was completely drunk with her crying and laughing.She said to Toby, "Leanna has a room here, in the second room on the right side of the second floor, facing south. You help her back to the room. Russell and I will tidy up here."
After all, Zoey felt disgusted by Lola's closeness to her because she had suspicions about her.Yes, it was a kind of disgust.Zoey discreetly pulled her arm out as she watched Lola approach, saying, "Take a look at your dress."Lola also noticed Zoey's indifference, which increased her resentment a little more.She just managed her facial expression well, and smiled with a raised lip, "Okay."Zoey opened the dedicated clothing box and took out a folding rack from inside. She assembled the makeshift clothes hanger by folding and pulling it once.At that moment, Jaelyn and Madeleine helped Tabitha downstairs.Tabitha smiled kindly and said, "I was just talking with Jaelyn and Madeleine about what you like, thinking about what to give you at the family reunion party. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."Zoey smiled, "I just finished making the dresses. I'll give them to you to try on. There are still three days until the banqu
The next afternoon.Joselyn didn't wait for Brodie on time because he had to perform a last-minute surgery.The injured person was involved in a serious car accident, rear-ending a delivery truck carrying steel bars. The steel bars directly pierced through the windshield and into his chest cavity.The firefighters arrived and used hydraulic pliers to cut the steel bars, then they lifted the person out.At that time, the injured person had lost too much blood and was unconscious. By the time they were taken to the hospital, they had already gone into shock.After the examination, the doctor discovered that the patient's lungs had been punctured and the heart was partially damaged. It was determined that a surgery involving both a cardiac surgeon and a thoracic surgeon was necessary.Because the surgery was very difficult, an extremely experienced doctor was needed to perform it.Brodie had been ready to leave, but he received a call fr
Brodie escorted Joselyn up the stairs and watched her enter the room. He reminded her, "Before going to bed, make sure to drink some hot water and keep warm, otherwise you might easily catch a cold."Joselyn nodded, her eyes clear and bright. "Okay, Brodie, you should rest early too."Brodie smiled faintly and said, "Close the door."Joselyn lightly hummed and closed the door.Hearing the footsteps outside gradually fading away, Joselyn knew that the man had left.She changed her shoes and entered the kitchen. She poured a cup of warm water from the water heater, and the warm water flowed into her throat, instantly warming her slightly chilly body.However, she suddenly realized that she had been listening to Brodie, probably because he was a doctor.Oops, I forgot to ask him which floor he lives on in the opposite building.What did you ask so many layers for?Do you want to peep on others?Joselyn shrugged, wond
Brodie lowered his gaze and pursed his lips, "There was no suitable one."He did not want to portray himself as a lovesick fool, seeking others' sympathy.Joselyn raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "You are so excellent, you will definitely find a girl who suits you."Brodie smiled and said, "Maybe."He looked towards the artificial lake and said, "It has frozen over there, let's go take a look."Joselyn looked in the past, and the ice under the street lamp was smooth, shining like a mirror."Could you ice skate?""It should be possible, after all, it is already below zero now."The Rosario family also had an artificial lake, but at this moment, Joselyn felt that the Keller family's was more fun than the Rosario family's.She was particularly cheerful, opening her arms and running towards the ice.With a splash, she stepped directly onto a thin layer of ice and fell into the cold water.The lake water
Joselyn accompanied Tabitha to the restaurant. Although she was lively, she was still a bit reserved when faced with a large family.However, the Keller family was extremely welcoming and took good care of her.Tabitha kept serving her food, "Look how thin you are, eat more."Joselyn smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Grandma.""I really like this child. He is beautiful and has a good personality. Look at how well our Royce and Brodie are doing," Tabitha said as she began to promote her well-behaved grandchildren.Now there are only Royce and Brodie left, and if she works hard enough, she will be able to be the only one left.Upon hearing this, Royce felt a headache. "Grandma, I was nine years older than Joselyn. Please, be kind and don't drag her into trouble."Tabitha frowned, "It seems a bit too big."Her gaze fell on Brodie again, "You are seven years older, but this age difference is acceptable."Brodie let out a
Brodie furrowed his brow and asked, "What does Ms. Hester want?""I just wanted to invite you to have a meal." Deborah smiled, "I have asked you out several times already, can Professor Keller give me a chance?"Brodie naturally knew in his heart that Deborah didn't just want to have a meal with him, and then ask for his phone number, leading to entanglement.He had no slightest bit of interest in her, and Joselyn didn't seem to belong to the category of relatives, so he directly refused in order to avoid any further trouble."Sorry, Ms. Hester, I indeed didn't have a surgery tonight, so I had some free time, but my family was waiting for me to have dinner together."Deborah blinked her eyes innocently and naively, "Can't we have dinner with our family another day?"Brodie chuckled lightly, "Is it you who is important or my family? I haven't been home for a few days, finally had some time to have a meal with my family, and now you want me to
Brodie didn't expect to escape Davis and Tabitha's pressure to get married at home, and he still couldn't escape it at the hospital.He smiled faintly and said, "Not yet."Joselyn's grandmother's eyes lit up, and she stood up and looked Brodie up and down. "This young man is tall and handsome, and he is a perfect match for our Joselyn."Joselyn's mouth twitched. "Grandma, why did you randomly choose the 'Mandarin Duck' song? Do you know who he is?"Joselyn's grandmother smiled and said, "He is my future grandson-in-law."Joselyn. “..."Brodie pushed his wireframe glasses and nodded slightly, "Hello, Grandma, my name is Brodie."Joselyn's grandmother laughed, "See, this is Joselyn we're talking about. She even started introducing herself willingly."The crowd. “..."Joselyn almost blushed in the past, she tugged at her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, this is Kristian's second cousin.""What?"
Brodie and Joselyn had finished their meal, and it was almost eight o'clock. The table was a mess.Joselyn patted her stomach and said, "After this meal, I definitely gained two pounds."Brodie chuckled, "You were too thin, it would be better to gain some weight. With all the recent experiences, I'm sure you had a lot of mental pressure, so it's good to have a broad mind and a plump body."Joselyn nodded, "That's true. But thanks to you, otherwise my mom would have been in danger. I must treat you to this meal.""Fine," Brodie shrugged, "then I won't compete with you for the order."After the two of them went downstairs and settled the bill, the waiter informed them that the boss was treating them.Joselyn sighed and said, "I wanted to invite you, but since I couldn't, next time when you have time, I will invite you again."Brodie nodded slightly, "Okay."Joselyn was twenty-three years old, seven years younger than Brodie.
Brodie and Joselyn left the Inpatient Department.Brodie asked, "Did you drive?"Joselyn shook her head, "I was a typical pedestrian, not suitable for driving, so I took a taxi here."Brodie smiled faintly and said, "Then, ride in my car.""Okay."The two of them arrived at the parking lot. Brodie, being a gentleman, opened the passenger door for her. Joselyn politely thanked him and got in.After Brodie got on the car, he saw that Joselyn had already fastened her seatbelt.He smiled and said, "Although it was a hit-and-run, the awareness of safety was quite strong."Joselyn shrugged self-deprecatingly, "Since the incident with Porter, I felt that life was too fragile, and at any moment, my own life could be in danger. Of course, I am afraid of death myself, but what I fear even more is that if my parents were to lose me again, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle it."Brodie could fully understand the phrase "life
The next day, Brodie went to the hospital as usual. He arrived at the ICU to check on Kinley's condition. There were no signs of rejection and there were indications of recovery.He remembered Porter, a man who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually ruthless and cunning.The tragedies of the Rosario family were all caused by this person and, in the end, it was also him who put an end to them. He probably thought that Porter was here to collect a debt and repay it.Leaving the ICU ward, he went to Mr. Hester's room.Brodie was taken aback, as the person in front of him looked completely different from yesterday, no longer dressed as a zombie nurse but rather as a standard socialite.He nodded slightly, "Hello, I came to check on Mr. Hester's condition."Mr. Hester wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Brodie. "Don't speak, I will examine you."Mr. Hester nodded and then saw Deborah approaching.Brodie noticed someone a
