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
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
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
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."
Nancy trembled with her eyelashes, feeling the scorching breath of the man.Her hands trembled as she tightly grasped the man's shirt, a piercing pain shot through her, and she felt like her whole being was about to be torn apart."Ouch!"The painful sound of a woman came, and Dalton also felt that barrier.So that night, nothing happened between them, and now it is the woman's first time.Dalton looked at the tears in the corner of Nancy's eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, "Be good, I'll be gentle."He was clear-headed and knew that they were just a business alliance, perhaps one day they would get divorced, and he should stop.But at that moment, he simply didn't want to stop, and this feeling was very peculiar.He was a medical student and had performed many dissections and surgeries. The human body held no fascination for him.Even the most beautiful bodies were just organs to him in the past.Before, he was attr
The air froze at that moment.Nancy looked at this scene in shock, Dalton's face covered in cream.Luckily, when Nyasia was cutting the cake, the candles and the cake stand fell to the ground, otherwise Dalton would have definitely gotten hurt.Nyasia was not from a wealthy family, so how could she afford to compensate Dalton?Nancy pulled Nyasia behind her and said, "Sorry, Dalton, Nyasia didn't mean to. Don't be angry."Nyasia rolled up her sleeves and said, "Scumbag men and cheap women should be taught a lesson!"Nancy looked at Mario and said, "Mario, you take Nyasia and go first."Mario watched as Dalton raised his hand to wipe the cream smeared on his face, knowing that not taking Nyasia away would only make things worse.He grabbed the person around the waist and carried them into the elevator. Before the elevator doors closed, he saw Nancy going to wipe Dalton's face.Nancy was pushed away by Amiya. "Dalton, are
Dalton?Nancy hesitated for a moment, looked inside, and saw Dalton sitting on the couch, lazily leaning against the backrest, drinking a glass of wine by himself.She was afraid that the people inside would see her, so she immediately hid to the side of the door.Dalton's voice came, neither loud nor soft, with a casual tone, "The wedding at home is being prepared."Elliott Moody approached him and said, "Amiya is not leaving this time, she's staying in the country. She's now a famous wedding dress designer! She left in the first place for her dreams, so why do you think she's back now? Surely it's for you! Don't you want her anymore?"Nancy spoke softly, her body stiffened, and her fingers also closed together.She waited for the man's answer, but the man remained silent.Footsteps were heard, and she immediately turned and left.Standing on the terrace, facing the cool breeze, Nancy, who was dressed lightly, felt even colder
At the toast session, Carsen accompanied Carolyn, who had changed into an evening gown, to go table by table to propose toasts.Carsen drank red wine, while Carolyn drank juice.Zoey raised an eyebrow at Russell and said, "Carolyn has arrived, are you ready?"Russell had long noticed that Carolyn was eager to come to this table to propose a toast. He chuckled lightly, "Of course."In no time, Carsen and Carolyn came over. They first toasted the elders and then started toasting in order of seniority.First, it was Royce and Mya, Brodie and Joselyn, Madeleine and Kristian, and then it was Zoey and Russell.Carsen looked at Russell and said, "Russell, thank you for taking care of Carolyn all these years. Come, Carolyn, let's have a drink with Russell."Zoey smiled and said, "Wishing Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn a hundred years of happiness!"Russell nodded and raised his glass, "Cheers to Uncle Carsen and Aunt Carolyn's happy mar
Carsen and Carolyn's wedding took place the next day, and the whole Woodmerrow knew that the Maddox family and the Keller family were getting married again.Everyone who was anyone in Lochcliff was invited, including the big shots in the medical field. Some people joked that this wedding was starting to resemble a medical conference.However, this time everyone was not very concerned about the grandeur of the wedding, but rather particularly concerned about the issue of the names used between Russell, Zoey, Carsen, and Carolyn.After all, it was a wedding, so there wasn't that much tension in the air, and that's when this kind of sound started to appear among the guests.Zoey nudged Russell's arm with her elbow, "What should we do? You're going to call Carolyn 'Sister-in-law' in a little while, are you nervous?"Russell's lips curved slightly, "I dared to ask, would she dare to agree?"Zoey stifled a laugh, "This is hard to say, Carolyn has
Viviana's surgery was very successful, and the little girl was finally going to recover after undergoing two major surgeries.After waking up from the surgery, her first question was, "Where is my father? Is he okay?"The man who had been hiding behind Mya suddenly couldn't hold back his tears, as he had wanted to surprise Viviana.Royce walked out, holding a bouquet of red roses. The man in his thirties had tears streaming down his face as he choked out, "I'm here, Dad is doing well."Viviana revealed a row of sparkling white little teeth, "Daddy, even when he cries, he still looks so handsome!"Royce squatted in front of the hospital bed, holding the little girl's small and soft hand, and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "So, Daddy has gotten old, huh?"Viviana laughed and said, "Dad used to be a handsome guy when he was younger."Royce smiled and said, "Thank you for your fair assessment of me."Viviana laughed and said, "Da
Royce's ward was unattended, and the cleaner stood at the small window, looking inside. She saw a man sleeping soundly, and she gently pushed open the door to the ward.She tiptoed to the bedside and took out a handkerchief from her jacket pocket, quickly covering the man's mouth and nose.She didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so she immediately went to the cleaning room and brought the wheelchair.With great effort, she helped Royce onto the wheelchair and placed a duckbill hat on his head before leaving.After a series of twists and turns, she took the person out of the hospital and moved them onto a black car, driving away.She couldn't contain her excitement, it was just too smooth, it seemed like the heavens were helping her.After passing a red light, she stopped and turned around to look back, only to find Royce fast asleep.She wanted to wait until she arrived at the place, and she was determined to win him over and make him
After Royce got on the car with Mya, clusters of fireworks bloomed in the sky.He opened the skylight, and Mya looked up. The fireworks were colorful and accompanied her all the way.Fireworks bloomed all the way from the villa to City Hall, a distance of twenty-five kilometers.The whole city was immersed in love, and pedestrians on the street couldn't help but admire.I don't know whose girlfriend, fiancée, or wife is so lucky to receive such love and pampering.Mya covered her mouth, afraid that her crying might ruin the beauty of the fireworks.The car stopped in front of City Hall, and Royce unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to embrace the person.Mya sobbed, "Royce.""I was there, I have always been there.""Thank you.""Silly little fool, don't say thank you to me anymore."Mya shook her head and withdrew from the man's embrace, saying earnestly, "I want to say thank you, thank you for al
Viviana Keller?The little girl smiled, her eyes curved, "Viviana Keller sounds better than Viviana Hayes! I like it!"Royce lifted her up, slightly crouched, and matched Mya's height, with both of them sandwiching Viviana in between, each kissing her cheeks.Viviana laughed happily, her little hands wrapped around the necks of the two people, and she shouted loudly, "I had a dad! I had a name! I was the happiest child in the world!"Mya shed tears, Viviana went through so many hardships, but she could still smile at life.The happiness that children wanted was very simple. It could be an inexpensive toy, a lollipop, and the love of their parents.Not far away, Zoey looked up, trying to hold back her tears.Russell grabbed her waist and asked in a low voice, "Were you moved?""No." Zoey didn't want to be laughed at by the man, so she immediately denied it.Russell nodded and said, "I understood.""What do you unde
