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
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
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
"Zoey, enjoy the last few minutes of being able to breathe freely! Soon, your heart will be inside my body!"Hospital operating room.Zoey Harmon was completely immobilized on the operating table and couldn't move.Just after the car accident, she is now in so much pain that she is almost suffocating.The overhead light cast a shadow on her face as she incredulously looked at her sister dressed in a patient gown."Why!""Why?" Ariana Harmon reached out and poked her chest, her lips curling into a sinister smile.“You should blame yourself for today's suffering, why do you always have to be better than me on everything!"“Did you really think I cared about you?” Ariana scoffed, "If I hadn’t pretended to be kind, would you have handed over your designs, worked as my voice double, or trusted me enough to drink that juice mixed with sedatives before the accident?"“Do you remember the fire at the bar ten years ago? That was my doing! Those thugs I hired were useless—they couldn’t even fi
In front of her eyes was a bright dressing table mirror. Zoey looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in professional attire and with her hair tied up, and for a moment, she was stunned.Looking around, she was in the room of the Harmon family.The room was very small and had been cluttered with miscellaneous items. It was simply renovated before she came back.Zoey raised her hand and placed it on her chest, as the sound of her heart beating rapidly echoed.She didn't die.Did she actually not die?"Zoey, have you finished tidying up? We agreed to meet at this time to go to the Candy Shop, don't be late."Ariana's voice sounded outside the door.Familiar attire, familiar words.Candy Shop?Wasn't that two years ago?Two years ago, Nelson found her and said that the Harmon family and the Maddox family had an engagement, and he hoped she would become his wife.She was full of excitement back then, after all, the man in front of her was her lifesaver.But Nelson had told her he wanted
The sound of knocking on the door was heard, and Ariana pushed the door open."Zoey, the engagement banquet has started, it's time for you to go on stage."Zoey looked at Ariana's swollen lips and understood in her heart.It was obvious that Ariana and Nelson were secretly involved with each other.In the past, she’d trusted them and hadn’t thought to question it. But now, every little detail was as clear as day.She smiled and said, "Okay."Zoey stood up and Ariana's face changed suddenly, "Zoey, did you change your dress?"Zoey was dressed in a white lace long dress, with silver flat shoes on her feet. Her dark, slightly curled hair fell to her waist, and her light makeup looked clean and gentle, like a fairy fallen to earth.“Doesn't it look good?” Zoey asked with a smile.Ariana tugged at her lips and said, "Good, it looks good. Nelson will definitely be amazed."Zoey glanced at her clenched palm and realized she was worried that she might seduce Nelson away.She patted Ariana's s
Alonso's mouth twitched, "Where do I go find it?"Zoey's gaze fell on Russell in the wheelchair and she said, "Since there is an engagement, it doesn't say who it has to be with. So, I want Russell!"Everyone shook their heads and pursed their lips.Just now Russell said he wasn't interested in women, isn't that asking for trouble!Moreover, although Russell held a high position and had an exquisite appearance, he was impotent. Marrying him would clearly mean living as a widow!Is Miss Harmon from the Harmon family out of her mind?The air seemed as if it had stopped flowing, unusually quiet.The entire banquet hall could only hear the sound of Russell lightly tapping the armrest of his wheelchair.Under the crystal chandelier, the man's pupils turned amber, as if they had merged with the snow, clear and beautiful, unlike those of a real person.Suddenly, his slender fingers paused, and he glanced at Zoey's delicate eyebrows, raising them slightly. His voice was cold and clean, "I agr
Zoey looked at the man's sharply defined face, from his eyebrows to his nose bridge, and then to those beautifully curved thin lips, all so perfect.She lifted her little face and her lips pressed against the man's lips.Her heart jumped uncontrollably, as if she had lived two lifetimes. This was her first kiss.She was innocent and quite inexperienced, extending her tiny tongue to lightly brush against the man's thin lips.The man started to breathe heavily, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He wanted to reach out and support the back of the girl's head, but he withdrew his hand and let the girl do as she pleased.Troy, sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at the rearview mirror and was completely shocked by what he saw.The aloof and abstinent Russell unexpectedly succumbed to the advances of a dominant woman!He looked very enjoyable!Just that woman...Russell's cold gaze met Troy's prying eyes, causing the latter to quickly press the button and raise the partition.Inside of
Zoey grabbed Dahlia's wrist and said coldly, "I will not make any statement, and I will not accept any betrothal gift. You're disappointed in me, and I am equally disappointed in you! I will leave the Harmon family tonight!"She let go of Dahlia's hand and went straight up the stairs.Dahlia stumbled as she was pushed away, wanting to go after and ask, but she was pulled back by Matteo.He sternly said, "Treating your daughter as an object, do you even deserve to be a mother? Don't bother Zoey!"Dahlia hummed and stomped up the stairs, while Jordan flicked his cigarette butt and followed suit.Ariana timidly glanced at Matteo and got up to leave.Coming back from abroad, Zoey didn't bring much with her, and she didn't acquire any new items in the past half month either. Therefore, when she returned, she still had the same silver suitcase as when she left.The door was unlocked, Ariana walked up to Zoey, and she fiddled with her hands in front of her."Zoey, are you really leaving? I t
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.

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.

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
