Hazel's words, Russell and Braeden naturally did not believe.
Braeden took out the tracker and found that Troy's location was still in the same place as before.
He directly refused Hazel, "We will find them ourselves. You don't need to bother."
He took back the tracker and pushed Russell forward.
Hazel couldn't believe that they had actually rejected her, and her gaze turned fierce.
She snorted coldly, blew a whistle, and over ten people from Blackmere Village appeared in front of Russell and Braeden, blocking their way.
Hazel walked up to the two of them with her hands on her hips, raising her chin as if she were a proud little princess.
"I liked both of you, if you agree to be with me, I won't torment you, otherwise..."
Russell spoke up in a low voice, "Otherwise, what?"
The man's voice, although lacking warmth, was very magnetic.
The moonlight fell on the handsome face of the man, as if it was coated with a lay
Under the dim yellowish firelight, Zoey's gaze pierced Natalie's eyes like a sharp blade.Natalie's pupils dilated as she did not expect the woman in front of her to associate so many secrets."You..."Zoey's lips curled up, "Actually, you've lived long enough at your age. Even if you don't say it, I would have found out sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.""I said!" Natalie didn't want to die, "I told you everything I know! Forty years ago, I saved a man who was being chased. He made a deal with me, I provided him with Venomous Worm, and he gave me a huge sum of money. But I didn't want the money, I just wanted something that could kill without a trace, because I hated Maliyah that woman, and the whole Esterden Village people, but I only knew how to kill with Venomous Worm, which would be too obvious. After the deal with the man, he provided me with parasites, and I secretly put them in the water of the people in Esterden Village, so that anyone
Russell's eyes were as deep as the Night Guild, as he pondered over all that had happened.He murmured, "Look up Nathalie, there might be some new discoveries. Of course, the fact that her information has been completely erased also raises some questions. What can be proven now is that the leader of the mysterious organization we were discussing earlier should indeed be the person who built the laboratory."It is reasonable to say that this conjecture is plausible.Zoey glanced at the remains on the ground and said, "I had planned to use Natalie to lure out the person behind the scenes, but I didn't expect them to be well-prepared and cut off all ties. Now, our leads are gone."Russell brushed off the dust from her body and said, "It's okay, even the cleverest fox reveals its tail at times."He looked at the people of Butteriron Village and said, "I hope that in the future you will be able to coexist peacefully with Esterden Village, otherwise we w
Zoey glared at him and said, "I'll take another look at how your wound is healing. The lighting wasn't very good earlier."Russell leaned back, with his hands propped on the bed, and raised an eyebrow at her, "You helped me undress."Zoey pursed her lips, bent down, and then grabbed the edge of the man's T-shirt with both hands and rolled it up.Suddenly, Russell grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, sitting her on his lap.The man's warm breath sprayed against her ear. His fingers caressed her slender fingertips. "Tell me, after not seeing each other for a week, do you miss me?"Zoey wrapped her hands around the man's neck, but kept a slight distance between their bodies, afraid of touching his wound. "To be honest?""Um.""I didn't think.""Really?" Russell pinched her chin and turned it towards himself. "I don't believe it."Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, her alluring red lips making men envious.Rus
After Russell and Zoey woke up, they prepared to bid farewell to the people in the village and go back to Oakhedge Hospital to visit Lilliana.They simply did not see the figures of Roderick and Enzo.Maliyah handed a note to Zoey.Zoey saw the four words written above, "Zoey's Turn."She opened it and saw that it was written by Roderick.It was written above that he and Enzo went to search for the Thousand Poison Spirit Grass because Russell's illness could not relapse again, otherwise each time would be more severe.Zoey clenched the note tightly, pursing her lips.Russell's illness was indeed urgent, and as soon as they returned to Woodmerrow, she prepared to research the antidote.The two masters treated her very well, treating her like their own granddaughter.In the future, she will definitely take good care of them.Russell walked over and asked, "Have the two masters left?"Zoey nodded lightly, "I l
The next day, Zoey woke up feeling a bit confused.She glanced at the tightly closed curtains, turned over lazily, only to find that the spot beside her was already empty, and there was no warmth on the bedsheet.She slowly sat up, grabbed the remote control from the bedside table, pressed the button, and the curtains opened.The midday sun shone in, falling on her porcelain-white face.She squinted her eyes and, after adjusting to the light, suddenly realized that it must be noon.Oh no, I had already made reservations for lunch at Scent Restaurant with two parties last night. I'm definitely going to be late.I glanced at the bedside table and didn't see my phone. Russell must have taken it.She lifted the covers and got out of bed to wash up, when she saw the bedroom door being pushed open.Russell walked in with a tray in his hand, on which were arranged beautifully colored small dishes and sushi rolls."Don't worry,
Half an hour later, the private room door was pushed open.Madeleine was in front, followed by the Braylen family.Seeing Zoey stand up, Madeleine walked over quickly and gave her a big hug, her voice filled with joy, "Zoey!""Madeleine."Madeleine let go of her and raised her hand to pinch her cheeks, "You've lost weight."Zoey smiled, "You said the same thing as Mom.""It's just that you've lost weight!" Madeleine looked at Russell. "You haven't taken good care of my younger sister, have you?"Russell smiled faintly and said, "My mistake, I will correct it in the future.""Admitting the mistake was quite quick." Madeleine also knew that there was a reason behind it, so she didn't make things difficult for Russell anymore.Carolyn stood excitedly on the side, rubbing her hands together. "Can I also hug Zoey?"Madeleine quickly made way, "Of course, you can."Carolyn threw herself into Zoey's arms and said,
Fifteen minutes later, the hotel room door was knocked.Gilberto opened the door and a woman wearing a long fur coat stood at the entrance.She painted delicate makeup on her face, and her luscious red lips seemed to be inviting men.The woman arched her eyebrows lightly, slowly unbuttoned her coat, and the thin black lace suit made her already fair skin appear even more translucent, with her ample curves on the verge of bursting out, incredibly sexy.The bright red cord of the bathrobe extended down to the man's waist.Gilberto looked at the tempting woman and pulled her into his arms, pressing her against the wall.As soon as the hotel room door closed, the woman approached and offered her red lips.Gilberto suddenly turned his head, and the kiss landed on the man's jawbone."Get lost!"The woman was very infatuated with him, after all, such an exceptional man was very rare.Apart from Russell from Woodmerrow, t
Zoey briefly introduced Gilberto's background, "If he really had a grudge against me or Russell, then why would he save us? Clearly, he had the opportunity to let us die. There was no need to save us only to kill us later, right? It would be pointless.""That's true," Leanna couldn't understand either, "Let's not think about it for now. When we have time, let's have a drink together! I've missed you.""Things haven't been going well lately. I used to spend every day in the lab, but I got distracted by drinking. Do you want a drink too? What's wrong, did you have another argument with Toby?""Who would get angry with that bastard!""Hahaha..." Zoey laughed, "Isn't this tone of cursing an expression of anger? What happened?"Leanna fell silent for a moment and said, "Toby, that dog of a man, has someone else outside! That woman even sent me photos of the two of them watching fireworks."Zoey raised an eyebrow, eliciting a playful smile, "Isn't
Russell couldn't explain it this time, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead.To avoid suspicion, Troy directly transferred to Dalton's hospital when he arrived.When Dalton entered the ward and saw Layne, his heart was deeply shaken.This child looks exactly like Zoey, identical in every way.No wonder Russell recognized this ghostly-looking Zoey at first sight.The little one blinked his big eyes and sucked on a lollipop, "Uncle, you looked so handsome!"Dalton approached and asked Russell, "Is this your son?"Russell nodded and asked, "Are you handsome?"Yasmine was speechless."Looking handsome!" Dalton wanted to say, the male version of Zoey looks really good, even better than Russell, but he remembered Russell's advice not to mention Zoey's name in front of Yasmine. He wanted her to remember on her own, so he held back the rest of his words.He raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's head, "Does it
Yasmine glanced sideways and caught sight of Russell rushing towards her, momentarily stunned.She stood up from her seat and said, "How did you come?"When Russell passed by her, he raised his hand and gave the woman's shoulder a squeeze, "There won't be any problem."She said to the nurse, "I have the same blood type as my child, draw mine."The nurse asked, "Are you the child's father?"Yasmine exclaimed!The nurse looked surprised when she saw Yasmine and asked, "Is he the father of the child?"Yasmine was about to say no when she heard Russell say very confidently, "Yes!"The nurse pointed at Yasmine and asked, "And what about her?"Russell remained calm and composed as he uttered, "My mother-in-law has some opinions about me because I had an argument with her daughter."Yasmine was speechless.Russell raised an eyebrow and said, "Right, Mom? Layne needed a blood transfusion now, saving the child is th
Yasmine was initially startled, and then she began to struggle, but it was in vain.Russell was very skilled at using tricks to immobilize her."What did you want to do?"Russell smiled in his eyes and said, "I just wanted to ask you why you didn't take my pulse before giving me an injection."Yasmine did indeed forget about this matter, "It was my mistake, I apologize.""Do you have something on your mind?"Yasmine pursed her lips and denied, "No!""Are you still reminiscing about last night?" Russell had been thinking about keeping his distance from her after last night, but his body and mind couldn't help but want to get closer.He couldn't keep his distance!"I didn't!" Yasmine's voice involuntarily raised a few decibels.Russell saw that she was getting a little impatient, so he said, "Don't be angry, I let go."He slowly let go, and Yasmine pricked the needle.The needle was just about to stop
The next morning.Yasmine woke up and realized that Layne was not by her side.She heard the laughter of children outside the window, so she got out of bed and went to the window.Russell was watering the roses with Layne.Layne held the water hose with both hands, while Russell bent down and held his little hand to help him control the direction. They watched as the water splashed around, and Layne laughed heartily.Yasmine's lips curled slightly, and this scene was quite heartwarming.But the smile on her face gradually disappeared, none of these belonged to her, what was she expecting and longing for?She wanted to find out as soon as possible if the Huffman family's tragedy was related to Russell.After she finished washing up, she reapplied her previous makeup and went outside the villa to call Layne back.Children are easily dependent on and attached to people, so she wanted to keep Layne away from Russell in order
Russell's eyes were deep and dangerous as he stared at the man. "Who sent you?"The gaze was filled with a strong sense of danger, making the man's scalp tingle. He had no doubt that if he didn't tell the truth, Russell would kill him in the cruelest way possible.He confessed, "Derrick! Maddox is your Maddox, Derrick."Derrick?Russell had never heard this name before, but the surname Maddox was somewhat intriguing.He looked at the other four people and said, "Is that right?"The other four people also nodded repeatedly in agreement.Russell stood up and turned around to look at the two people still talking on the sofa, "I'm leaving, Derrick."Troy furrowed his brows, "This name sounds familiar to me. I think I've heard it somewhere before."Braeden rubbed his chin, "I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before."Russell took off his white gloves and said, "The rest is up to you guys, I'm going back first."
Russell glanced at him and said, "What's the excitement? Have you been single for too long that you become perverted at the sight of a woman?"Troy chuckled and quickly pursed his lips, lowering his head.Dalton's mind seemed to be working particularly fast. He cleared his throat and said, "Have you improved a bit and started returning to your sarcastic state?"Russell put his arm around the man's shoulder and led him up the steps, heading towards the entrance of the hospital.Yasmine glanced at Troy and asked, "Who is he?"Troy respectfully replied, "He was Mr. Russell's good friend Dalton, and this hospital was opened by him."Yasmine nodded, "So this is the standard for every male protagonist in a romance novel, a doctor friend?"Troy was speechless.Yasmine shrugged her shoulders and quickly followed.As he watched the woman enter the door, Troy burst into laughter, but as he laughed, tears welled up in his eyes.
Yasmine looked over suddenly, and the man stared ahead, gripping the steering wheel with both hands.His hands were slender, and his knuckles were distinct, just like a perfect piece of artwork.His profile was too outstanding, with contours that seemed to be outlined with charcoal, sharp and distinct.The protruding Adam's apple showcased the man's sexual tension, faintly exuding a wild scent.The dim yellow light of the streetlamp shone on his face, casting alternating shadows and highlights on his features, creating a sense of mystery.Russell glanced at her, "Did you really think so?"His voice sounded like it had been rubbed with sandpaper, with a low and magnetic tone, which was very pleasant to listen to.Yasmine stared at him, "Russell, weren't you loyal to your wife? Then why are you flirting with me?"Russell knew that he had upset her, so he stopped teasing her. "My wife wants me to live a good life."Yasmine
Yasmine didn't expect Layne to say such words. She trembled her eyelashes and held the little one's hand back."Layne, marriage between a man and a woman must be built on a foundation of love and affection. It is a sad thing for someone to become a substitute for the person who holds love in their heart, as no one can replace them."Layne nodded, "I understood."He hugged Yasmine and looked at her with blinking eyes. "Mom, actually I think you are also pitiful, not knowing who Layne's dad is. So Layne thinks it's better for you not to look for dad and just stay with uncle."He sighed, "I don't want to think anymore, my brain capacity is not enough, the adult world is really too complicated. Mom, why don't you give me a bath instead! Layne is going to sleep!""Okay."Yasmine took him into the bathroom and gave him a bath.After coming out, the little one climbed onto the dressing table and sat on the chair, swinging his little legs.
"Go back to Serene Manor?" Yasmine furrowed her brow. Derrick is now more dangerous than Russell, so going to Serene Manor is indeed a good idea, but it doesn't feel right.She cleared her throat and said, "Those people were chasing after you, what did Layne and I do?"Russell naturally guessed her thoughts, "Can't you cure me?"Yasmine lightly chuckled, "I saw you were quite normal now, maybe you didn't need any treatment after all.""That was because you were there." Russell and Yasmine's gazes collided in the rearview mirror.Yasmine averted her gaze and said, "I felt like your illness had improved for a month or two, so Layne and I would leave by then."Russell fell silent for a moment and then said, "Okay."Layne's eyes rolled around. One or two months, huh! Uncle better hurry up and become a father!Yasmine said, "Both Layne's and my belongings are at Rivulet Villa, we need to go and get them."Russell saw through
