Zoey had no sleep that night, as she lay on the companion bed in Madeleine's hospital room, staring out of the window.In the early morning, she had Russell take her to the ward, as she wanted to accompany Madeleine.Russell, being accommodating to her temperament, sent her over.Zoey asked him to stay at a hotel, and he agreed.He didn't go, but instead sat on the bench outside.It was ultimately a sleepless night.As Zoey watched the first ray of sunlight rise in the early morning, she found it surprisingly dazzling.Tears gradually blurred the eyes, and the phone by the hand vibrated.She picked it up and vaguely saw a string of unfamiliar incoming calls on the screen.She opened the receiver and listened to the voice on the other end.There was a moment of silence between the two, and the man's voice came out hoarse, "Zoey, it's me."Zoey suddenly sat up and lowered her voice, "Derrick, is Layne with you? Can you give him back to me, please?""Okay."Zoey was surprised that the ma
Kristian chuckled, "Madeleine, your mouth was not made for speaking.""Not suitable for talking?" Madeleine glanced at the man, "Then suitable for what?""Suitable for kissing," Kristian raised an eyebrow.Madeleine glared at him and said, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! With your lung capacity, you won't even be able to sustain a kiss for twenty seconds in the future!"Kristian smirked, "It seems like you wanted to kiss me.""No way!" Madeleine pretended to leave. "Even when you're hurt, you can't be honest.""Don't go!" Kristian raised his voice and started coughing.He had just finished the surgery and injured his lungs, so his voice was weak. Whenever he spoke a little louder, he would start to wheeze.Madeleine quickly checked on him and said, "Don't worry, I'm not leaving."Kristian finally calmed down and held the woman's hand. "Madeleine, give me a kiss.""Go to hell! Don't think that just because you blocked the knife for me, I should be grateful enough to offer myself t
Inside the hotel room.Russell opened his eyes and saw Zoey still sleeping in his arms.She was too nervous, even when she was asleep, she frowned.He smoothed the furrowed brow with his fingertips, let out a soft sigh, and held the person tightly in his arms again.He always felt that bringing Layne back in the afternoon wouldn't be so smooth.When Zoey woke up, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.After she had freshened up, she drove with Russell to the amusement park in Woodmerrow.Zoey looked out of the car window at the receding trees. "Russell, I always had this sense of unreality, that Derrick would actually compromise so easily."Russell held the steering wheel with both hands, "I arranged people at the amusement park, and I was very worried about any accidents happening."Zoey turned her head and lowered her gaze, curling her hands on her lap. "I couldn't accept it if Layne had even the slightest problem."Russell's lips tightened, and after a while, he said, "I would n
Zoey didn't expect that playing the emotional card with Liberty would have no effect at all; this woman had gone mad.She looked at the Liberty, which was a deep crimson color, and spoke in a cold voice."Do you think we died, can your son still live?" Zoey hit her sore spot directly, "Do you know the feeling of being unable to seek survival and unable to seek death? I think when people are angry, they can do any cruel thing!""Are you threatening me?" Liberty glared at her.Zoey's eyes were cold, "I wasn't threatening you, I was stating a fact."Derrick spoke softly, "Liberty, I regretted my decision after I gave that order. I had intended to return Layne and leave with Nikolas, to raise him well and prevent him from becoming a bad person like me. I wanted to make up for the lost time and be there for his future growth. I wanted to be a responsible father. Liberty, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I hope you give me a chance to be your husband, your support, and Nikolas' father, your protecto
Russell walked over with his long legs, exuding a strong aura.He approached, standing in the same spot, his gaze as dark and dense as the night. His face was sharp and angular, exuding an imposing presence.He took out a cigarette box from his overalls, shook out one from inside, lit it, and then threw the cigarette box and lighter to Derrick.Derrick didn't expect that he could still smoke a cigarette at this moment. He thought that this would be the last cigarette of his life.He also took out a cigarette and lit it.In the midst of swirling smoke, two men stood on the rooftop, gazing towards the direction of the setting sun.When the last wisp of smoke rose into the sky, Russell's first punch came crashing down heavily.Derrick stumbled and fell to the ground.He laughed and got up, only to be met with Russell's even fiercer attack.One punch after another, the sound of fists pounding on flesh.The sun set and night fell.Derrick lay on the ground, his breath weak, the corners of
Suddenly being asked a question, Carolyn was startled and then lowered her gaze."It's nothing!"Carsen chuckled lightly, "It feels like you have something to say to me.""That," Carolyn timidly looked at the man's perfect profile, "are you really going on a blind date?""I rarely interact with women in my daily life, mostly students, so blind dates are more suitable for me. It is based on the premise of approval from the elders and involves getting to know the other person. As long as the two individuals have compatible personalities, they can be together."Carolyn asked, "Is it enough to just have compatible personalities to be together? Isn't mutual liking important?"Carsen smiled faintly and said, "Maybe I would start liking it after spending a long time together."Carolyn felt a pang of bitterness in her heart whenever she thought about Carsen falling in love with someone else and getting married.She stopped talking and just quietly looked at the night outside the window.Befor
The next day, Russell and Zoey took Layne to Woodmerrow Kindergarten and completed the enrollment procedures for him.Afterwards, the family of three started their shopping spree.Layne walked in the middle, holding the hands of the two people, with a smile on his face.Many people, seeing this scene, couldn't help but take out their phones and snap photos.Zoey also didn't mind Layne showing up, after all, Layne had already been exposed at the press conference.After shopping, Russell and Zoey took Layne to the cinema to watch the newly released animated film.The little one was enjoying it, but Zoey and Russell still noticed that Layne's body was somewhat stiff in the dark environment.During lunch, Layne was still immersed in the world of movies, talking non-stop with her little mouth.It is good for children to be lively, but it becomes problematic when they appear to be excessively lively after experiencing some trauma.After dinner, the three of them went to the mental health cl
The Maddox Group.After Russell recovered, Braylen returned all his duties and responsibilities to him.Braylen felt a huge sense of relief, and he said to Russell with great emphasis, "I have been eagerly anticipating this moment for a long time. I am truly grateful to Zoey, there is no one who wants her to come back more than me."Russell actually didn't want to take over, because he wanted to travel the world with Zoey and Layne, after all, they had missed out on four whole years, and he wanted to make up for the lost time.He wanted to refuse, but Braylen was about to cry, "Russell, just pity your Brodie, I am old, it's time for me to enjoy a peaceful life."He also took off his wig and said, "Look at Brodie, he has been tortured into a Mediterranean look. Show some kindness."Russell looked at him and indeed, he was bald. He stifled a laugh and said, "Brodie, if I had taken two more years to recover, you would probably have lost all your hair."Braylen. “..."The moment Russell a
Nancy felt that she had already indulged herself last night, and she didn't want to spend the whole day lying in bed today."Are you free today?"Dalton lowered his head and kissed her fair neck, his voice hoarse, "I don't know, if there's anything, the hospital will give me a call."Nancy felt the man's momentum building up. Her legs were now sore, and she placed her hands on the man's chest, "Is your phone out of battery?"Dalton noticed her resistance and didn't continue. He kissed her rosy lips and said, "I'll go take a look."After he got out of bed, he went to freshen up, then changed his clothes and left the bedroom. He picked up the trousers from the floor and took out his phone, only to find that it had run out of battery.I charged my phone and turned it on, only to discover several missed calls.He tightened his lips when he saw that string of numbers.He opened the message, and there were several messages on it, all
Dalton watched as the bubbles rose in the bottle of beer. He lifted the bottle and poured all the liquid into his throat.Nancy felt that he had never truly gotten over Amiya, so she also lifted the bottle and drank it up with a gurgling sound.She also hid a lot from him, for example, when they went to Mount Greycoast together, Craig was also there. It was Craig, Nyasia, and Mario who rescued her.Craig clutched his arm as he saved Nancy and narrowly escaped before the bus exploded, almost losing his life.After that incident, she and Craig fell in love.They agreed to take the college entrance examination together and be together forever.But the heavens did not comply with human wishes, and before she applied for the college entrance examination, her father, Kolton Eaton, found out about this matter.He went to find Craig and told him that he was not worthy of Nancy at all, both in terms of family background and personal conditions
Nancy sat up and looked towards the door.She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and got out of bed to open the door."I said I wouldn't eat anymore..."She thought it was Reina, but to her surprise, it turned out to be Dalton."Did you finish the surgery?"Dalton lightly hummed, looking at her with a somewhat hazy expression. "It was already nine o'clock, you were half asleep."Nancy was surprised by the man's gentleness, "Hmm, I slept for a while.""That was me who woke you up.""No." Originally, this dream was meant to wake up."Are you hungry? Let me take you to eat something."Nancy asked, "Did you eat?"Dalton said, "No, he came straight to the operating table.""I went to tidy up a bit."Dalton held her hand and said, "No need, it was fine just like this."Nancy smiled lightly and said, "Okay."Dalton led Nancy down the stairs, and Reina, sitting on the sofa, looked
Nancy really couldn't believe this was true, but the man's passionate kiss was definitely not fake.She always had a sense of uncertainty, but Dalton seemed to perceive her thoughts and kissed her even more passionately.Nancy's first kiss was his, and the first night was also his.She was completely his.Nancy's kisses were clumsy and inexperienced, but her initiative easily aroused the desires of men.Dalton looked at her fair body, with crimson at the corners of his eyes.He took her down with him until late at night.Afterwards, he took Nancy to take a bath and then carried her out to blow dry her hair.Nancy was tossed around so much that she didn't wake up at all.Dalton looked at her for a while, and then the phone on the bedside table started vibrating.He glanced at the numbers on the screen, then took his phone to the living room.He stood in front of the French window, lit a cigarette, and smoked
After Nancy finished breakfast, she went to the gallery, and the employees noticed something unnatural on her face.After all, everyone saw the scene where the original wife was provoked by the third party yesterday, and they all sympathized with Nancy.Everyone was being extremely cautious, afraid of making any mistakes that would further upset this poor woman.Nancy also noticed everyone's strange behavior, but she couldn't explain her marital life, so she could only pretend not to hear or not to notice.She did not receive any messages or calls from Dalton throughout the entire day.She knew that last night was just a game for adults.Perhaps one day, Dalton would divorce Amiya because of her.However, what she didn't expect was that Dalton came to the art gallery at four o'clock in the afternoon.Nancy was very surprised as she looked at the man appearing at the office door, after all, this was a treatment she had never exp
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
