Russell fell silent. He didn't care about his own life or death, but he cared about Zoey and the child.
Roland, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "Zoey actually hinted at me when she was getting in the car. She said if a blizzard is coming within two weeks, we should enjoy this beautiful scenery while we can."
Madeleine asked, "Zoey said this, but I didn't think much about it. What does it mean exactly?"
Roland sighed lightly, "The antidote still has half a month of experimental time. Zoey's suggestion is to inject Mr. Maddox with the antidote in case of an emergency. Although there may be some side effects, it is still better than being controlled by Gilberto's drugs. As for Zoey, I believe she has her own plan."
Russell's thin lips were trembling, "Her plan was to save me, and she was working hard to find a solution to the chip. If it didn't work, she would go down with Gilberto. I can't let anything happen to her."
Roland said, "The probl
Zoey stared at the woman intently, watching as she took out a syringe and a vial from the silver box.The woman extracted the liquid from the medicine bottle using a syringe, expelled the air inside, and grabbed Zoey's hand to inject it into her bloodstream.Zoey grabbed the woman's hand and snatched the syringe, pushing the liquid away, then leaped up and pushed the woman towards Gilberto.Gilberto stumbled as he watched Zoey run out of the cage, his eyes filled with a sinister glare.His lips curled into a sinister arc as he pushed the woman to the ground and walked out of the cage, heading towards the outside.Meanwhile, Zoey ran downstairs and saw that there were many mercenaries in the living room aiming heavy weapons at her."Could you run out?"The man's voice sounded behind her.Zoey clenched the needle against her own neck and turned her head. "Gilberto, you're just using me to threaten Russell. If I die, I'd like to s
A private airport in the suburbs.When Gilberto arrived, Zackary had just gotten off the plane.The old man had gray hair on both sides of his temples, with a serious expression on his face. When he saw Gilberto approaching briskly, his cloudy eyes squinted slightly.He tightened his grip on the dragon-headed cane in his hand and scolded, "I thought you were bewitched by that woman, not even recognizing your own grandfather!""I dare not," Gilberto lowered his gaze."You dare not?" Zackary sneered, "You dare to confine me, what else do you not dare to do?"Gilberto glanced at the man supporting Sir and said, "Didn't you contact Uncle and bring him out to Lochcliff?"The man's name was Ernest Maddox, and he was Zackary's nephew.Due to health reasons, Gilberto had no children throughout his life. There were high expectations for him, but he disappointed everyone by keeping the old master under house arrest and showing leniency t
A dim basement.Gilberto watched as Brock's tendons in his hands and feet were severed on the ground. He wiped his bayonet with a white cloth.He suddenly lifted his eyelids and said, "Why did you repeatedly defy me again and again?"Brock looked up at him and said with a bitter smile, "Because I was only doing it for your own good, Gilberto. I was only doing it for your own good!"Gilberto stared at him with a fierce gaze and said, "I have given you several chances already, and you have not appreciated them. The thing I hate the most is when someone defies me."Brock's eyes were red, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "And what about Zoey? She has defied you not just once or twice!""Did you compare yourself with her?""Yeah, how can I compare to her? You like her! But does she like you?" Brock was unwilling, "Gilberto, I love you, I have loved you for many years!""Your love disgusted me!" Gilberto gritted his te
Zoey squinted her eyes and scrutinized her, "Would you be so kind as to help deliver the message?""Oh, indeed, I wasn't that kind-hearted, it was just a transaction. He helped me obtain the antidote, and I helped him deliver a message.""What antidote?""Gilberto poisoned me, and I had to take medicine every month, or else my whole body would rot and die."Zoey suddenly grabbed her wrist. Abigail was not lying. Her pulse was very irregular.She asked, "What words?"Abigail said, "He asked me to tell you that he was strong and well."Zoey furrowed her brows, doubting the truthfulness of this statement. It was a sentence devoid of any substance.Does this statement have any meaning?Abigail shrugged, "Maybe he wanted to put your mind at ease."She looked at the cage, reaching out to touch the hard steel bars. "The gaps are so small, are they that afraid you'll escape? It seems my cousin wants you to be a canary! I'
Alonso raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth, "How did I perform just now?""You performed well, but you need to be humble," Russell held his forehead to prevent him from moving.Alonso pushed away his hand, quite displeased, "Where does a son pat his father's head?""If you press it, just bear with it for a while.""..." Alonso looked at him, "What do we do next?""You were admitted to the hospital, and Mom took care of you. The rest was left to us."Alonso was a bit worried, "What did you want to do?""Hold a funeral for me."Alonso said, "...Then I showed up."Then you can shed tears and faint again, go to the hospital, and tell mom to also pay attention to her emotions."Okay, your mother could definitely act well."Russell patted his shoulder and said, "Take a nap, you have been having bigger eye bags lately.""You brat, you've been too repressed these days, haven't you? Making fun o
Emilee looked at the man on the ground, his mouth and neck covered in blood. After shouting for help, she rushed in to check and found that the man had already passed away.Emilee, who watched Abigail grow up, was deeply saddened. She started hitting Abigail."It's all because of you, you despicable woman! You harmed Mr. Russell and also harmed Mrs. Maddox! I will kill you!"Abigail resisted, but she couldn't beat Emilee, who was used to rough work.Her face was covered with many fingerprints.Brent rushed up and, upon seeing this scene, he too was filled with grief and anger.However, he was very rational and immediately dialed 120 and 110.They took Abigail to the living room, tied her hands, and made her kneel on the ground.For Russell's crime scene, they did not allow anyone to enter.Soon, medical staff and police officers arrived.The doctor examined Russell and declared his death on the spot, preliminarily
There was a loud bang as the door slammed into the wall, and Gilberto turned around to see Zoey approaching quickly.Her eyes were filled with shock, "What did you just say? Say it again!"Gilberto lowered his gaze and said, "It was just an idea I had.""No, Russell had an accident, right?" Zoey asked the man, her eyes turning red as she sought confirmation. At that moment, she felt like a knife had been plunged into her heart, slowly and painfully.As she watched the man in silence, Zoey clenched the man's collar with both hands, her eyes filled with hatred and despair. On the verge of breaking down, she shouted, "What did you do to him? Tell me! Say it!""He died, died thoroughly," the man said, word by word, in a very cruel manner.Zoey trembled all over. The overwhelming sadness in her chest made her feel suffocated, and her hatred towards Gilberto reached its peak. "It was you who killed him, wasn't it?"Gilberto reached out and
Gilberto glanced at Zoey, who had her face covered tightly. "No, you can't. After the burial tonight, there will be no one at the cemetery. You can go and pay your respects then."After giving him a resentful look, Zoey withdrew her gaze and looked at the crystal coffin.Through the car window, Zoey couldn't see the man inside the crystal coffin clearly.She lowered the car window and looked out. The man had meticulously combed hair, wearing his favorite dark suit, and his shoes were polished to a gleaming shine. However, there was no trace of movement in his chest.Russell's complexion looked good, so it must have been the beautician who did his makeup. Otherwise, after so many days, the corpse would have changed color.Zoey stared intently, afraid that in the next second he would be pushed away for cremation.Fear is just useless, what is meant to happen will always happen.She watched helplessly as the funeral staff pushed the crys
Angelo looked up and saw Carolyn walking towards him, wrapped in a blanket.In just a few days, she became so thin that she was almost unrecognizable. Her eyes, which were already big, now appeared even larger, but they had lost their former sparkle and looked hollow."Angelo, I woke up and didn't see you. Later, I saw you sitting downstairs through the French window, so I came to find you."Angelo picked up his phone and stood up with a smile. "Are you hungry? I bought some food for you. When I passed by the dessert shop, I bought a few slices of cake. Have a look and eat whatever you like.""Thank you," Carolyn said with a smile, "I was indeed a little hungry.""Then let's go upstairs." Angelo and she walked side by side towards the apartment building.After they went upstairs, they sat face to face in front of the dining table.Angelo carefully cut the food and cake into pieces and placed them in front of her. He then handed her a spoon and said, "Try it and see if it suits your ta
Zoey dialed Carolyn's phone number, but she couldn't get through. She had also been blocked.She immediately put down the data report in her hand and sat in front of the computer to hack into the hospital surveillance.There was no surveillance in the ward, so Zoey saw Carolyn's figure from the moment she walked out of the ward, fully dressed.The scene showed Carolyn taking the elevator down and exiting the Inpatient Department building. She then got into a Bentley car.She asked someone to help check the car's driving route and searched for the owner of the vehicle herself.When she saw that the car was Angelo's, she was slightly startled. Was Carolyn taken away by Angelo?What is the situation?How could Carolyn suddenly disappear?At this moment, the person monitoring the surveillance turned to Zoey and said, "Zoey, the car headed to the airport."Zoey began searching for the information of the two individuals hired by the airline, only to discover that they had already boarded a
Carolyn remained in a deep sleep.In her dream, she dreamt that she accidentally scratched Carsen's hand, and her blood flowed into his wound, infecting Carsen with the HIV virus.She suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the white ceiling, smelled the scent of disinfectant, and realized that she was dreaming.Carsen sat in the seat, crossed his arms, and fell asleep with his head down.She looked at the man's exhausted face and felt extremely sorry for him.She pursed her lips and took out her phone to send a message.After putting away her phone, she silently watched the man's sleeping appearance.In just ten days, Carsen had lost a lot of weight. His cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, and he hadn't had time to shave off the stubble on his lips, making him look very haggard.Carolyn looked deeply at the man and engraved him in her heart.At that moment, she saw Aubrie standing by the small window of the ward door, looking inside.Carolyn instantly closed her eyes because she was afra
Carolyn recalled the heavy and sorrowful reactions of everyone after she had finished the surgery and opened her eyes while lying on the hospital bed.No wonder, no wonder she had lower abdominal pain, no wonder she experienced a series of discomfort.No wonder Carsen always seemed preoccupied.She had a miscarriage and was also infected with HIV.So Carsen blamed himself so much and kept saying sorry.So Carsen said he wanted to get married and obtain a marriage certificate with her.She lost her child and also contracted HIV!How can I marry him?This was not harming him!Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, why was the heavens so unfair? Why did they make her endure so much hardship?Why?Why!Carolyn didn't understand.She felt discomfort in her stomach and started feeling nauseous again.She was afraid of being discovered in her moment of weakness, so she quickly returned to the ward.She walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror, looking haggard and wo
Carsen was taken aback, he pursed his lips, and then concealed his painful emotions, forcing a smile."Of course not. After this incident, our affair was known by my parents. They felt that I was getting older and hoped to see me settle down soon. In addition, there were rumors spreading about the Holly incident, with many people saying that we were already together before, which wrongly accused Holly. So, I am planning to hold a press conference to clarify this matter."Carolyn didn't think much, she only felt sweet in her heart, "Carsen.""Hmm?""I felt like I had been blessed by misfortune.""Why?""Because now everyone knew that we were together!"Carsen nodded and said, "Yes, we were together.""Why do you seem like you want to cry?"Carsen kissed her hand and said, "I feel sorry that you got hurt. I am willing to take the pain for you.""Ouch! It really didn't hurt!" Carolyn laughed, her pale lips curling up. "Don't cry, okay?"Carsen nodded, "Don't cry, I won't cry. Rest well.
Pregnant!AIDS!Zoey's hand holding the scalpel froze, she looked at the nurse in disbelief, and then her hand started trembling.Carolyn needed general anesthesia for the surgery. She used anesthesia in the early stages of pregnancy, and after the operation, there were concerns about the impact on fetal development, not to mention the high possibility of contracting HIV now.She had performed many, many surgeries before, but this one caused her a lot of pain and difficulty in making a decision.She looked at Carolyn, who was wearing a ventilator, and instantly welled up with tears.Why did they make this kind and lovely little girl go through such cruel twists and turns?Why did fate have to torment people like this?She raised her hand and held the trembling hand that was gripping the surgical knife. She took a deep breath and calmly said, "Go and inform the family that the fetus cannot be saved. After the surgery, the injured person will need to take blocking medication."The nurse
In the bathroom.Aron tightened his grip on the dagger, causing the blade to press against the wound a little more.Carolyn groaned in pain.Aron shouted excitedly, "Don't tell me these useless things! I want my wife and daughter!"Carsen pushed open the door and saw the scene where Carolyn was being held hostage.His eyes were filled with anger and killing intent, but he managed to control his emotions. "Don't get agitated. I want to assure you that your wife and daughter will be safe. Afterward, I will give you ten million and arrange for you to leave this place. Does that sound acceptable to you?"This is exactly what Aron thought. He didn't expect Carsen to blurt out "ten million" right away.However, at this moment, he felt that ten million was not enough. He thought about the rumors that both the Keller family and the Maddox family were billionaire families.So, he said coldly, "Are you kidding me with ten million? I want one billion!"Carsen nodded, "As long as her safety is en
In the following period of time, Carolyn added a new activity to her nights.Every time Ariella saw her, she would tease her.At first, she was thin-skinned and would feel embarrassed.But as time went by, she became more thick-skinned.Ariella asked, "How many sets of battle robes were left?"Carolyn sipped on her drink through a straw, taking a satisfying sip, and then extended a finger.Ariella opened her mouth and said, "Only one set left? Quite good at tearing, huh!"Carolyn shook her head, "Not a single one was torn.""What?" Ariella's mouth twitched. "Carsen is not good enough! Not fierce enough!""No, it's just that I didn't have time to put it on!" Carolyn laughed. "He was in a hurry."Ariella felt like she had been fed a stomach full of dog food and didn't need to eat dinner."Is it only ten more days until the day you agreed on? Are you going to get married?""Ah, if it weren't for me feeling down that day, we would have gotten married on the same day. Being his wife is my
The apartment door was knocked open, and Carsen groaned.In the dimness, Carolyn's voice was breathless, "Did you bump into the injury on your back?"Carsen pressed the person against the wall, their forehead against hers, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt.""Otherwise, let's not..."Carsen used to think of himself as very ascetic, showing no interest in matters of romance, just like a monk.Just recognizing one's own heart, after kissing Carolyn, it is inevitable that one's mind will think about such things.He was very afraid that the little girl would reject him, so he wanted to possess her.Yes, a very despicable idea.Carsen knew about the dark side within himself, and he wanted her to become his woman.So, he swallowed all the remaining words she had.Carolyn felt the man's passionate kiss and the simmering passion that was about to explode.She was a little nervous and pressed her hands against the man's chest, "Wait, wait a moment.""What's wrong?" The man's thin lips barely brushed
