Abigail was momentarily surprised when she saw Zoey."Zoey, are you there?"Zoey smiled and said, "Yeah, I came to see Carolyn.""I am too," Abigail stepped forward and glanced at the girl lying on the bed, her complexion already rosy. "My sister will wake up in a few days, I'm really happy! Dr. Z is really amazing, I admire her so much."Zoey sneered inwardly, are you sure you didn't hate her to death?She got up and said, "You have a really good relationship with Carolyn. Even though you got hurt like this, you still care about her."Abigail sniffed, "Carolyn and I grew up together, we had a deep bond. I never expected her to change like this after she fell down the stairs three years ago. I am particularly heartbroken, Carolyn used to be a lively and adorable girl who was loved by everyone."Zoey patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, within three days, Carolyn will wake up. Let's go out and let her rest well."Abigail nodded, a hint of unwillingness flickered in her eyes, but
Abigail looked around and realized that there was no one else here. She coaxed Emilee."Emilee, could you give me that?"Emilee scrambled to her feet and asked, "What did I give you?""It's something that was clenched in the palm of your hand."Emilee shook her head and refused, "This is not something good, of course I can't give it to you. Do you want to feed it to Miss Er? Do you want to poison Miss Er?"Abigail smiled, "How could it be? It was just a jelly bean. I thought my sister was waking up, so I fed her a jelly bean."Emilee snorted, "Whether it's sugar or poison, as long as Mr. Russell takes it for testing, we'll know!"Abigail's tone was cold and threatening, "Emilee, don't toast and not drink, or you'll be punished!"At that moment, the door was pushed open.Zoey pushed Russell in and raised her eyebrows lightly, "Who said they won't drink the toast and will be punished?"Abigail had intended to feed Carolyn the pill to keep her from waking up, but she didn't expect Emilee
It was nearly 2 o'clock in the morning.Zoey nestled in Russell's arms, listening to the man's heartbeat racing a bit. She furrowed her brow."Why is your heartbeat so fast? Let me check your pulse, you don't have any heart-related issues, do you?"Russell chuckled lightly and tightened his hand around the girl's slender waist, "Because you were in my arms."Zoey smiled and said, "Then I should stay away from you, otherwise, if it goes on for too long, I'm afraid you might have a heart attack." Saying that, she wanted to pull away from his embrace.Russell, on the other hand, held the person tightly, "No, I would rather have a heart disease than suffer from lovesickness."Zoey laughed out loud, "How come you're so good at sweet-talking? Have you said these things to someone before?""No, I have only spoken to you.""I don't believe it. Your mouth is so sweet, you must have practiced it many times.""Is your mouth sweet?"Zoey nodded and then shook her head, "Not sure, I'll taste it be
The door of the ward was opened, and Zoey saw Jordan and Dahlia arguing fiercely with the bodyguards, with many onlookers around.Zoey asked in a low voice, "What did you come here for?"Jordan raised his chin and said, "Of course, it was to see my dad! You should know that you have already cut ties with the Harmon family! Now, you have no right to stop me from seeing my dad!"Zoey sneered, "I severed ties with all of you, but I still acknowledge my grandfather."Jordan sneered, "Zoey, you should know that I am the old man's guardian now!"This point is undecided.Zoey couldn't change the guardian because there was no solid evidence to prove that Jordan, the unworthy descendant, was responsible for her grandfather's accident.She hoped for her grandfather to wake up and tell the story of what happened that night.If it involved the Harmon couple, she naturally had to take both of them to the police station and rightfully take the grandfather away.Jordan hummed and walked in with long
When Russell saw Zoey looking so serious for the first time, he felt that something was very serious, so he led her to sit down on the sofa.He looked at her with deep eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"Zoey recounted what had happened in the ward before.Russell's eyes narrowed as he heard the words."They dared to threaten you so brazenly."Zoey held his hand and said, "Actually, I had an idea, I don't know if it would work."Russell held her hand tightly and said, "Tell me."Zoey expressed her thoughts, and Russell's eyes lit up. "I think it's a good idea. We can give it a try."Russell stretched out her fingertips and furrowed her brow slightly. "It might be a good thing that the old man can't remember certain things, because that way the Harmon family feels that he poses no threat. He is safe until we carry out our plan."Looking at the girl who was still sulking, he held her in his lap and comforted her, "Zoey, don't worry, okay?"Zoey nodded and felt at ease as she leaned against
Zoey's eyes were filled with galaxies, and she lightly bit her lip, making a sound of agreement.Russell seemed inspired and leaned down to give her a deep kiss.At the crucial moment, Zoey felt a warm sensation.She placed both hands on the man's strong chest, "Russell, wait, wait.""I couldn't wait any longer," the man's voice trembled.Zoey blinked her moist eyes, with a hint of apology in her gaze, "I couldn't wait."Russell breathed heavily, his gaze fixed on her, his eyes filled with confusion. "What's wrong?""My aunt came."Russell furrowed his brows and asked, "Aunt Flo came? When did she come? Do you need me to pick her up?"Zoey was amused by the man's last words, "Not that aunt, but the aunt when I had my period. You can't handle it, only sanitary pads can."Russell only then learned that there is a term called "monthly visitor" for menstruation.He buried his face in the girl's neck and chuckled softly.Only a
In the spacious office, Zoey and Leanna exchanged glances.Leanna raised her chin, and Zoey pressed the answer button, then pressed the speaker button and started recording.Dahlia's voice came through the microphone, "Zoey, when did you let Ariana out?"Zoey said, "If Ariana was sick, she should have been treated in a mental hospital. I am being responsible for her."Dahlia's voice was sharp and piercing, "Zoey, are you recording right now? You always play these games! If you dare, turn off the recording!""What do you want me to do, I'll do it. Isn't that embarrassing?" Zoey stirred her coffee leisurely with a spoon, feeling it wasn't sweet enough, so she added a cube of sugar."The old man has had a poor appetite these past few days, Zoey. What do you think we should do about it?"Zoey heard the words and clenched her fingers tightly around the small spoon, "You didn't feed grandpa?"Dahlia sighed, "What are you talking about? Do you think
Ariana was tormented all night long, and she returned home with a body full of bruises.Dahlia saw her pale face and quickly brought her back to the room. When she saw the whip marks all over her body and the traces of candle burns, she felt extremely heartbroken."How could that damn Nelson treat you like this?"Ariana screamed like crazy, "It hurt so much! Mom, Nelson is done for!""What went wrong?" Dahlia quickly searched for the healing ointment in the medicine box."He was done in that aspect, completely losing his functionality, so he could only regain his manhood through abusive means."Dahlia was taken aback, "What? How could this happen?"Ariana squinted her eyes and said, "Nelson told me that it was Dr. Z who made the move, and that woman is in cahoots with Russell. Nelson now has a deep hatred for Russell, and there will definitely be a fierce battle between them!"She excitedly grabbed Dahlia's hand and said, "The more Nelson hate
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
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
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
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
