On the fourth day after Leanna left, Toby came to Russell's office.
He sat on the visitor chair with a gloomy face, "I couldn't find her, help me."
Russell's pen paused as he reviewed the contract, and he looked up at the other person. "You could make a different request."
Toby squinted his eyes, "Russell, I never expected you to be afraid of your wife."
Russell faintly curled his lips, "At least I had a terrifying wife, unlike someone who lost their wife and didn't even have a chance to be scared."
Toby was speechless.
He didn't expect that Russell turned out to be a husband slave, obeying his wife's every command.
"I was very worried about Leanna's situation. There was a misunderstanding between her and me, and I don't think Zoey wants Leanna to be unhappy either."
Russell laughed and said, "Leanna said that the old must go and the new must come, she will find a man who will make her happy."
Toby said, "...You will hav
Just at the critical moment, Gilberto lifted his foot and kicked the man in the chest, and the silver light flashed by.The man was kicked and flew to the ground, the dagger in his hand clattered and fell, with a touch of blood stained on it.Gilberto walked briskly forward and lifted his foot, stepping on the chest of the latter, who spurted out a mouthful of blood."Speak! Who sent you?"Gilberto's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice was cold and ruthless.The man grabbed his trouser leg with one hand and reached out to search for the dropped dagger with the other hand.Just as he was about to touch the dagger, his hand was firmly stepped on by Russell.The man was unable to move and let out cries of pain from his mouth.The security guards quickly rushed up, subdued the person, and called the police.Zoey approached and saw Gilberto's light-colored jeans were torn, furrowing her brows she asked, "Did
Gilberto stared at the man in front of him, who raised his neck and his face turned red.The light was dim, making it difficult to see his facial expression clearly."I only gave you one chance!" Gilberto's voice was cold.Brock's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched Gilberto's wrist with both hands, shaking his head, "No, it wasn't."Gilberto's lips turned into a straight line, and then he threw the person against the wall.Brock knelt on the ground in agony, coughing violently.He watched the man's tall and slender figure, unable to free himself from the heartache.I saw Gilberto sitting on the couch, opening a bottle of red wine and chugging it down his throat. He staggered to his feet, leaning against the wall as he walked towards Gilberto."Gilberto, it really wasn't me."Gilberto clearly did not believe his words, "This is the last time, understand?"Brock had no doubt that Gilberto had just harbored murderous intentions towards him. He let out a bitter laugh and said, "Gilberto
Once something is indulged, it becomes irreparable.Russell had a wild night, and in the end, Zoey was so exhausted that she didn't want to move at all.Watching the man fall asleep, Zoey opened her eyes and listened to his long breaths, her mind heavy with thoughts.She understood Russell's thoughts, and the consequences would have been terrible if there had been no cure for his illness.He was uncertain about his future, worried that he couldn't provide her with a happy life, and even feared that he would burden her. As a result, he became timid and lost his confidence.Zoey felt very sorry for him, she held him tightly and said softly, "Russell, I will definitely cure you."In the previous life, Russell killed himself for love, but it didn't end well. In this life, she was determined to give Russell a good ending.The next day, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, Zoey prepared breakfast and drove to the research institute.The experiment is currently in the stage of using mi
Zoey's body stiffened, and she suddenly looked up at the door.She tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "How did you wake up?"Russell was dressed in a navy-blue silk pajama, with the collar half open, revealing his delicate collarbone and pale, cold skin, giving him a sexy and alluring appearance.He raised an eyebrow and looked at Zoey, making a puzzled sound, "From what you're saying, it seems like I shouldn't have woken up."Zoey opened her mouth and forced a smile, "That's not what I meant."Russell approached, stood by her side, and bent down, supporting himself with one hand on the back of the chair and the other on the table."What did that mean?"Zoey looked up at the man and said, "You, heard everything?""Of course.""Actually, I was the one, Hacker H."Russell stared at her deeply, "I should have guessed it earlier. Why didn't you tell me?""Well, you didn't ask, did you?""..."Zoey pursed her lips and said, "So, do you also have something to hide from me?"Russell
"Don't go."Gilberto's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with a look of grievance.Zoey's wrist, which was being held, felt extremely hot. She whispered, "I won't leave, I'm just going to boil some water and give you medicine later."Gilberto nodded and let go of his hand.He watched as the girl took off her cashmere coat, walked gracefully to the table, and started boiling water.He squinted his eyes, then closed them satisfactorily.Fifteen minutes later, Zoey took the medicine bag handed over by the manager.She walked to the bedside and pulled out an Infrared Thermometer, fever-reducing medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine from the medicine bag.She picked up the Infrared Thermometer and measured her ear temperature, which showed a normal reading. Then she measured Gilberto's temperature and found that he had a temperature of 39℃.She turned around and fetched warm water to cool down. She scooped out a fever-reducing pill and handed it to Gilberto."If you took the fe
Upon hearing this, Zoey's lips tightened slightly, and she walked towards the CEO's office.There was a gap in the office door, and the sound of a woman sobbing could be heard from inside.Zoey pushed open the door and walked in, only to see a woman standing in front of the desk, with her long hair flowing like a waterfall, revealing her fair shoulders. The black stockings under her short skirt were torn, making her look like a broken doll.The man sitting on the leather armchair stood up abruptly when he saw someone approaching.His eyes, which were originally filled with hostility, looked panicked. He stood up, supporting himself with both hands on the table, and said, "Zoey, why did you come?"Zoey walked up to him with a faint smile and said, "I missed you, so I came to see you. What's going on?"Russell looked at the woman, his gaze cold and icy. He was just about to explain when the woman burst into tears."I came to deliver the documents to Mr. Maddox, but little did I know tha
Russell wore a long black cashmere coat, which made his originally pale face even fairer.He glanced at Gilberto's attire, his thin lips slightly curved, his obsidian-like eyes seemingly smiling, "Zoey has something to do, let me accompany you to the hospital."Gilberto nodded slightly and said, "Then you troubled yourself.""Not a problem, you saved Zoey, and we are all very grateful to you," Russell asked, "Can we leave now?""Sure."Russell turned around and walked towards the elevator, and the smile on Gilberto's face instantly disappeared.His eyes were filled with coldness, like a hawk in the dark night, wanting to kill its prey with a single strike.He followed closely behind.In the elevator, two people stood side by side, with similar heights, giving off a strong sense of oppression.After getting out of the carriage, two tall and handsome men walked one after the other, attracting the attention of many people.After getting on the car, Russell glanced at Gilberto in the pass
Russell brought Zoey to the famous old street in Woodmerrow.As the New Year approached, the already bustling old street became even more lively.Zoey looked outside at the street view with some surprise, and then looked at Russell, "How did you come here?""I took you to an interesting place."Zoey searched through her mind for a list of interesting places she had explored. "Making sugar figurines? Pearl diving? Painting oil umbrellas? Antique hunting? Escape rooms? Fruit wine brewery?""None of them were.""..."Russell got out of the car and opened the door for her. He held her hand and walked down towards the direction of the ancient street alley, embracing her."Are you trying to kidnap me, all secretive like that?" Zoey asked, looking up."I wanted to lure you into my heart, where you could never escape."Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, "Why is your mouth so sweet?""Do you want to give it a try?"Zoey laughed out loud and said, "I hate it!"The two of them had a good appearanc
A deep voice of a man came, "Toby, what's the matter?"Toby asked, "What's going on between you and Zoey? I can't believe you've fallen for someone else! Do you have any ulterior motives?"Russell fell silent for a moment and said, "There's no big deal, I just got tired of sleeping with the same woman."Toby furrowed his brow in disbelief, "Tired of it? Russell, you once broke your spine to save Zoey, you were willing to give up your life for her. You've been through life and death together, and now you're saying you're tired of it?"Russell's lips curled into a mocking arc, "Once you're fed up, you're fed up. After tasting the flavor, who would keep eating it all the time? Maybe you like Leanna now, but once the novelty wears off, you'll also find it tiresome."Toby had never felt Russell was so punchable when he spoke. He took a deep breath and asked, "Are you really dating Abigail?""Yes!""Was Abigail really pregnant?""Yes
Zoey looked at the word "abortion" on the report card and pursed her lips.She did not expect that the child she had with Russell would have this outcome.Leanna looked at her with a reluctant expression and really wanted to say, "Why don't you just stay?"It was just that Zoey spoke first and handed her the form, saying, "The doctor said to pay the fee and help me make an appointment."Leanna could only nod and sigh as she took the list and went to pay, with Toby naturally following along.Zoey sat on a chair in the corridor, with the warm winter sun shining on her, but she felt as if she were in an ice cellar, cold to the bone.She wore a duckbill cap and a mask, covering herself tightly, sitting there in a very desolate manner, and no one recognized her.The hospital was bustling with people, and a young couple caught her attention."Could the child stay?"The man looked impatient, "Do you want me to stay and serve yo
When Zoey woke up, it was already late at night.She looked at the fluffy head beside her and her lips curved slightly upwards.Leanna once said that men were unreliable, and only best friends were true love.Zoey also joked about fire prevention, theft prevention, and preventing best friends.The only one accompanying her at the moment was her best friend.She glanced at the nearly empty drip bottle, reached out and pressed the button.Although the movement was slight, the sleeping person still felt it.Leanna looked up, still half asleep, and instantly became alert. "Don't move, don't move. I'll call the nurse to remove the needle."Zoey felt a little exaggerated, "It's okay, I might just have low blood sugar, I'm not that delicate."Leanna let go of Zoey's hand and said, "You rest and don't move around."She pressed the bell, and soon a nurse came and removed the needle.Because it was the last round of
Not many people knew the password to her house, Zoey's heart skipped a beat as she abruptly stopped crying and turned her head to look back.When she saw the person coming, a bitter smile curved at the corner of her lips.It was not Russell, but Leanna.Thought I was waiting for the one who would return, but it turned out that the one who would return had already become a stranger.Leanna took off her shoes and walked quickly over, squatting down to hug Zoey."Zoey, I would always be there."After Leanna found out about Russell's infidelity online, she immediately returned.She knew that Zoey must have been very, very upset, and she wanted to be by Zoey's side.She didn't say anything, she just held Zoey, who was crying nonstop.After a while, Zoey finally spoke in a low voice, "I spent the whole afternoon looking for evidence of our past love. There is a lot of evidence proving that we were in love. Leanna, you know tha
Russell eventually accompanied Abigail to the hospital.Dalton was puzzled when he saw Abigail, and he called Russell out while the woman was tending to her wound.As good friends for over a decade, he asked directly, "What's the situation between you and Abigail? And Zoey?"Russell did not want anyone to know or be involved in this matter, after all, Gilberto was an extremely dangerous person.He smirked and said, "As you can see, I fell in love with Abigail, I got tired of playing with Zoey."Dalton couldn't believe he received such a response. "Damn it, Russell, are you crazy? Abigail had poisoned Carolyn. How could you possibly like such a ruthless woman? Zoey is beautiful, kind-hearted, and anyone with a brain would choose her. Are you out of your mind?"Russell didn't mind and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case. He lit it up and took a deep drag, blowing a smoke ring towards Dalton. "Dalton, if you like Zoey, then go after he
Zoey incredulously watched as the man's head kept spinning while he was kissing the woman.Her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe, and her body staggered backwards.If it weren't for Gilberto steadying her, she would have fallen to the ground.Her lips trembled, and no matter what, she couldn't believe that Russell would betray her, betray the feelings between them.In her past life, Russell killed himself for her.In this lifetime, Russell also did his best for her.How did it change so quickly?Zoey couldn't understand, she didn't give up, really didn't give up.She broke free from Gilberto's support and reached out to grab Russell's shirt.The shirt was half torn off, revealing shallow and deep scratch marks on the man's back.The scratches were particularly eye-catching, causing her eyes to sting.Russell looked back, a mischievous smile playing at the corner of his lips."I never knew you had a hobby of watching others being intimate. If I had known earlier, I would ha
Gilberto supported her shoulder and said, "I had no need to deceive you!"Zoey struggled to push him away, "I don't believe a single word you said!"In the previous life, Russell was so devoted to her. So, it was impossible that he would betray her.Something must have happened. Gilberto's suspicion was very high.Zoey stared at the man warily, "How come it's such a coincidence that you showed up? Russell wants to control someone, and you're the one who can stop him? And Abigail, a woman who harmed her own niece, how could she catch Russell's attention? It must be your conspiracy! What did you do to him?"Gilberto's eyes were hurt. "I know it's hard for you to accept, but what I'm saying is the truth. If I really wanted something bad to happen to you, Russell, why would I have saved you and him in the first place? Wouldn't it be easier to just let you both die? Why go through all this trouble?"This was also the part that Zoey couldn't understand, "Where is my phone?""I was afraid of
Zoey struggled to open her eyes and saw that Russell had already fallen to the ground.She reached out her hand towards the man, but her fingers were stepped on by a black leather shoe.A piercing pain shot through, causing her to furrow her brow.She wanted to see who had attacked them.But her eyelids were too heavy, and she fell into a coma.In a dimly lit room.The woman knelt beside the sleeping man, her slender fingers caressing the buttons of his shirt, unfastening them one by one."Finally, you were mine."The man suddenly opened his eyes and saw the familiar face of a woman.His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he reached out and grabbed the woman's neck. "Abigail, it's you!"Abigail felt a strong suffocation, she felt like her neck was about to be strangled.She kept slapping the man's hands with both of her hands. When she noticed that the man's grip was getting stronger, she used her nails to dig into the back of his hand and his arm, causing fresh blood to spill
