Zoey's eyes were cold as she walked up to Lola. She looked at Lola's provocative and jealous smile, and raised her hand to give a heavy slap across Lola's face.
"This slap was meant to hurt you, Carolyn."
Lola was so angry that she wanted to curse, and Zoey retaliated by giving her a loud slap in the face.
"This slap was hitting you, Ariella."
There were two claps.
"I am sorry for what I did to the Keller family and Madeleine, and for hurting so many innocent people!"
Lola's cheeks swelled up instantly, and her eyes resembled venomous snakes, dark and fierce.
Zoey clenched her slender neck, "If it weren't for the rule of law, I would have personally ended you! You're just trash!"
She pushed Lola away and looked at Troy, exuding a menacing aura. "Take me to find Russell."
Troy nodded, "Yes."
Zoey took a step forward to leave, and Lola burst into laughter, "So what if you became a part of the Keller family? You've j
Russell finished organizing, and Zoey pushed the wheelchair over."Mr. Maddox, please have a seat."Russell looked at her mischievous appearance and felt much better.He raised his hand and gently stroked the girl's cheek, "Thank you for believing in me, and thank you for being by my side.""We were a couple, isn't that supposed to be?"Russell embraced the person, his heart melting completely.After a while, Zoey lightly patted the man's back and said, "Alright, if we don't go back to the banquet hall soon, people might actually think you've been eaten by fairies."Russell chuckled, "I was not a weak and ordinary person with no strength at all, I was a strong man!"Zoey withdrew from the man's embrace, "I thought you were just all talk and no action."Russell scratched her little nose and said, "I'm not a pig."Zoey scoffed lightly, "Didn't you just compare yourself to a pig earlier?"Russell suddenly reme
Russell was already the center of attention in the crowd, and the moment he stood up, he caught everyone's gaze.Except for a few people who knew that Russell had already recovered, everyone else was shocked and wide-eyed.The melons tonight were getting bigger and bigger.Russell was not disabled after all!Before, people were speculating how tall Russell would have been if he weren't disabled.Based on those long legs, everyone unanimously believed that there was a one-eight-eight.However, at present, it is estimated that the crowd was still a few centimeters short.Russell was born in at least 192.He was dressed in a well-fitted suit, exuding an air of elegance. His eyes were exquisitely dark, and his nose was perfectly straight. The lights in the banquet hall shone on his sharply defined face, making him incredibly dazzling.His gaze only fell on Zoey, without anyone else.He walked towards Zoey, and whereve
Russell couldn't help but think that the Keller family would not easily entrust Zoey to her, considering that Zoey had three brothers and one sister.However, if Zoey's life could have been smooth without experiencing so many hardships, even if they wouldn't be as affectionate as they are now, he would still be willing.Maybe their connection wasn't as deep anymore, but he believed that they would still fall in love at first sight, and he still had deep feelings for her.Royce prepared a guest room for him, and Russell looked at the spacious room, the lonely bed, feeling empty in his heart.He found that every second without Zoey was deeply missed.Standing in front of the window, he gazed at the silent moonlight. Gradually, his eyes became more and more deep and fierce.He took out his phone and called Troy, "Has the person been delivered?"Troy watched as Nathalie, who had been thrown into Snake Forest, was entwined by venomous snak
Russell, who had been tossing and turning, finally received a message from Zoey. It was already 3:30 in the morning.He replied instantly, "I couldn't sleep because you weren't here. How about you? Did you not sleep or just wake up?"Zoey hung up the phone on him."Russell.""Zoey."Both of them spoke at the same time, and the longing was magnified invisibly at that moment.Zoey said, "I didn't sleep, they prepared me twenty-two years of birthday presents, and I unwrapped them for a long time. Every gift was very cute, and I liked them a lot.""You liked it, that's good.""Thank you, Russell.""Fool, what are you thanking for?""If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found my family so quickly."Russell chuckled, "It was your deserved fortune, and I thought it was too slow."Zoey asked, "Did you have any discomfort in your body?""No, don't worry. Go and have a rest, we still have to go to the
Russell and Zoey drove to Dalton's hospital.After passing through the green channel, a series of checks were conducted.Dalton looked at the test results with a serious expression.Dalton looked at Russell and said, "This thing was inside the ventricle, and it wriggled like a parasite."Russell did not hide it from him either, "It was Venomous Worm."Dalton was taken aback, "How could I have gotten involved with something like this?""Caught off guard." Russell did not explain the twists and turns in it, "Is everything else normal?"Dalton handed him the blood test report and said, "Most of them were not up to standard, probably influenced by this thing."Zoey looked at the various arrows going up and down on the data, tightly pursing her lips.The Venomous Worm caused significant harm to Russell's body. If the Venomous Worm is not dealt with quickly, Russell will definitely be in danger.Dalton pushed his glasse
Zoey sat in the shopping cart, with her legs crossed.She saw many people looking at them, and some even took out their phones to take pictures.Zoey was extremely embarrassed, she propped her hands on the edge of the shopping cart and was about to stand up, "Russell, I want to get out."Russell held her shoulder and said, "As long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who feel embarrassed.""Russell!"Watching the girl's angry and embarrassed expression, Russell's lips curved with delight. "I think it's cute. Many children have sat in shopping carts like this before. Let me show you what it feels like."Yeah, Zoey never experienced any of this when she was a child.She was very touched by Russell's consideration, but still felt a little embarrassed.She covered her face with both hands, feeling a deep regret for not being properly armed. Through the gaps between her fingers, she looked at the man and asked, "Can I go back a
In winter, it is inevitable to have a steaming hot pot.Russell, Zoey, Leanna, and Toby were sitting around a pot, cooking meat.Because it was a spicy hotpot, both Zoey and Leanna had red lips.Russell held a tissue and wiped the corners of Zoey's mouth, "Eat slowly, otherwise it might upset your stomach."Listening to the man's gentle words, Zoey nodded.Toby fed Leanna some meat and said, "You too, eat slowly."Leanna raised an eyebrow, "What, afraid I'll eat too quickly and finish your portion as well?"Toby's forehead twitched, "Are you allergic to romance?"Leanna rolled her eyes and said, "You still know about romance?"Speaking of this, Leanna couldn't help but start complaining, "Let me tell you about what happened to Toby. Last time, I accompanied him to a cocktail party. Because many people came to talk to him, he was afraid that I would be bored, so he asked me to go to the dessert area to eat something. I th
Zoey let out a soft sigh from her nostrils and said, "I wanted to tell him once, but I didn't want to say it after being interrupted. I was afraid he would feel pressured. Now that this has happened, I don't want him to know even more."Leanna hugged Zoey and said, "Zoey, you were under so much pressure. In the future, if you have something on your mind, you must tell me! Don't bear so much on your own.""Okay," Zoey curved her lips.Leanna filled her wine glass and raised it to toast Zoey. "Zoey, I apologize for the falling out we had in our past lives. How could I be such a jerk and give up on you as a good friend? Knowing that Nelson and Ariana were jerks, how could I let you jump into the fire pit? I really want to give my past self a good slap. Zoey, in this life and the next, we will be the best of friends!"Zoey also raised her glass and clinked it with hers, making a crisp sound. "Cheers, forever friends."The two of them drank alcohol and
The warm yellow light illuminated the room.The two people on the bed held each other tightly.Zoey lay on Russell's chest and said, "Russell, both the Venomous Worm and your illness would be cured."Russell gently caressed her thin back, "I knew."Zoey suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Are you thinking about separating from me again?"Watching the girl's eyes turn red, Russell felt a pang of heartache. "No, after going through life and death, all I want is to be with you every moment. Zoey, I'm sorry, can you forgive my previous thoughts?""No good," Zoey pouted. "Ever since you had this idea, I have felt very insecure, always thinking that you would leave me at any moment.""Sorry..."Zoey covered the man's mouth and said, "I don't want to hear you say sorry."Russell kissed her palm and moved away, "My bad, can we not talk about it anymore in the future?""What if you said it again?""Then may I be s
Upon hearing such a title, Enzo was so infuriated that he almost fell backwards, but his happiness outweighed his anger.He hugged Roderick tightly, "You devil, I missed you so much!"Roderick stiffened and quickly pushed the person away, "Don't ruin my reputation!"Enzo rolled his eyes and said, "Both of us are halfway in the grave, why do we care about this?" As he spoke, he prepared to pounce.Roderick pushed the person away again, "Disrespectful to the elderly!"Enzo was speechless.Zoey had gotten used to their love-hate relationship, and if it wasn't like that, it meant that they had fallen out.But being able to see such a scene again, she was happy.Roderick glanced at Zoey and Russell, "You two, come in."Gilberto, who was not called out, naturally went back to his own room.He made a phone call, his eyes filled with gloom, "Why are they still alive?""Sorry boss, that old man changed the password
Thanks to King Worm, there was a person beneath each of its footholds.After Zoey, Russell, and Gilberto dug the snow with their hands and rescued the person, Zoey quickly provided medical treatment.When the third person was rescued, the rescuers arrived.Because the rescue tools were in place, the remaining few people were all found.Unfortunately, two people had already lost signs of life.Zoey felt a bit heartbroken as these people came to rescue others, but ended up losing their lives in an avalanche.Russell put his arm around her shoulder and said, "The world is unpredictable."Zoey felt sad and guilty in her heart, "Let's give their families some more compensation."Russell nodded, "Okay."Zoey suddenly remembered the laboratory and she held the man's hand. "Gilberto and I fell into a cave after encountering an avalanche. Later, due to my digging through the snow, the gravity became uneven, and we fell into a lab
This feline species walked almost silently, and combined with Zoey's intense focus on examining those experimental pods, she didn't even notice the arrival of danger.When she turned around, the snow leopard was too close to her, and she didn't have time to react at all.Her pitch-black pupils reflected a scene of a snow leopard baring its sharp teeth and pouncing towards her.She hesitated for a moment, and instinctively raised the tightly gripped surgical knife.But this is almost like a flea trying to shake a tree.Just then, Gilberto pushed her aside, and the snow leopard pounced on him, knocking him down to the ground.Zoey was pushed aside and saw the snow leopard pounce on the man, splattering Gilberto's face with bright red blood.Zoey thought Gilberto's neck had been bitten off, so she rushed up to stab the snow leopard.Just then, Gilberto raised his hand and said, "I'm fine!"The snow leopard lay on him and be
Time passed bit by bit, and the air in the cave began to thin.Zoey clearly felt a wave of suffocation."Gilberto."Gilberto looked at her and said, "Were you feeling unwell?"Zoey said, "I felt like we couldn't wait for the rescue team anymore."Gilberto unconsciously furrowed his brow, "Do you want to shovel snow?"Zoey nodded and said, "Yes, even if we stay indoors, we will still die. We might as well give it a try."Gilberto asked, "Otherwise, should we wait a little longer?""Sorry, I can't wait any longer. I don't want to die here without even trying. I'm going to find Russell," Zoey said, and then she started digging the snow.Gilberto tightened his lips and watched her dig with all her might.Under the heavy snow, one had to dig at least one meter deep to go out.After a while, Gilberto crawled over to dig with Zoey. However, while digging, he paid close attention to the movements below.The
Looking around, there was only endless white snow, with no other objects.Zoey heard not only the sound of the wind but also the sound of her own heartbeat.Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but she felt as if something was staring at them with a predatory gaze.Russell said, "Since that's the case, let's not separate. Gilberto's friend's rescue team consists of ten people, plus the two who went missing earlier, making it a total of twelve people. It's impossible that we won't find anyone, as they must have encountered some danger. Let's stay alert and make sure no one gets left behind."Gilberto nodded, "This area belonged to a collapsing zone, and I suspect they might have fallen into a cave. Anyway, it is most important to protect ourselves first."Zoey fell silent. It had been over 36 hours since the two senior brothers had gone missing, and this was not good.Russell saw through her thoughts, "They would definitely be fine."
The man was wearing a white down jacket, army green work pants, and cotton work boots. His facial features stood out particularly on this snowy night.He curved his lips and walked forward, "Are you friends of Mr. Conway?"Zoey was taken aback. Is this the little brother who saved her master?She nodded slightly and said, "Hello, we are his friends. And you are?"The man's deep brown eyes twinkled with amusement. "My name is Gilberto Baldwin. I encountered Mr. Conway on the snowy mountain, and he had a high fever, so he asked me to come and fetch you all.""Thank you," Zoey asked, "Was he seriously injured?"Gilberto laughed and said, "It was a bit serious but not too serious. He had a high fever of 39℃, but he ate two bowls of rice at night and had a good appetite."Zoey pursed her lips. Her master indeed had such a personality. "So, could you please take us to find him?"Gilberto nodded at Russell and Zoey, "Alright, I took y
Zoey quickly swiped the answer button on the screen, "Master!"The sound of wind howled on the other end of the phone, and a man's breathless voice came through, "Zoey, my master just got a signal here and just saw the message.""Master, did you encounter any danger?""There was a snow leopard on this mountain! Yesterday, I got separated from your senior brothers. My old bones almost perished on this mountain, but luckily I encountered a little brother who was exploring here.""Did you get injured?""No, but it was quite thrilling. Just when the snow leopard pounced on my neck, I thought I was going to meet the King of Hell. But this little brother of mine hit it on the head with a stick, knocking it out. He led me out of the snowy mountains, and that's when we got a signal. We are currently heading down the mountain, trying to see if we can contact your senior brothers. Are you asking me about the Bound Worm?""Yeah, Russell encountered a v
Zoey let out a soft sigh from her nostrils and said, "I wanted to tell him once, but I didn't want to say it after being interrupted. I was afraid he would feel pressured. Now that this has happened, I don't want him to know even more."Leanna hugged Zoey and said, "Zoey, you were under so much pressure. In the future, if you have something on your mind, you must tell me! Don't bear so much on your own.""Okay," Zoey curved her lips.Leanna filled her wine glass and raised it to toast Zoey. "Zoey, I apologize for the falling out we had in our past lives. How could I be such a jerk and give up on you as a good friend? Knowing that Nelson and Ariana were jerks, how could I let you jump into the fire pit? I really want to give my past self a good slap. Zoey, in this life and the next, we will be the best of friends!"Zoey also raised her glass and clinked it with hers, making a crisp sound. "Cheers, forever friends."The two of them drank alcohol and
