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
At that moment, Russell's eyes were filled with crimson, and he was breathing heavily."Zoey, you helped me."Zoey bit her lower lip, made up her mind, and reached out for the man's belt.The scorching sensation made her breath almost stall, and her ears were burning.Her hands were trembling, and she closed her eyes, allowing him to fiddle with her.Russell greedily kissed her lips, not hiding his overwhelming desire.I don't know how long it took, but Russell finally stopped.Zoey moved slightly and asked, "Is it done?""Okay, it seemed good, but then it didn't."Russell looked at Zoey's watery eyes, her lips slightly parted and reddened from the kiss. The surprise in her eyes couldn't be concealed as she asked, "What does that mean?"Russell's Adam's apple rolled, "I wanted to have another go."Zoey: "?"Russell traced down along her slender neck and delicate collarbone, pushing up her T-shirt to reveal a section of fair
Zoey entered Russell's room and found him standing by the French window, talking on the phone.His deep blue pajamas blended seamlessly with the curtains of the same color, and upon hearing the sound, he turned his gaze. His fair complexion appeared even cleaner and more refreshing.He hung up the phone and walked up to Zoey.Zoey lowered her gaze, her teeth lightly biting her lower lip.Russell raised her chin with his fingertips and said, "Are you afraid to look at me?"Zoey mumbled, "Where is it?"Russell took a step forward and met her toe-to-toe, "I'm sorry, I was a bit out of control today.""It's okay, I can understand. After all, you were drugged.""What if I wasn't drugged?"Zoey swallowed her saliva, and she was indeed a little scared.Russell chuckled and lifted the person horizontally, "Go to bed early, hmm?""Okay."Zoey lay in the man's arms, her nose filled with the clean and pleasant scent of the man. Howeve
In the following days, Zoey was always leaving early and coming back late, and when she returned, she would quickly take a shower and go straight to bed.Because she had prepared an alternative plan, only she and Leanna knew about this matter, so the finished clothes could only pass through their hands.Russell was unaware of her plan and only felt that Zoey had been scared that night, so she was avoiding him.That night, Zoey came back with a tired body.She lay directly on the bed, and Russell, seeing this, helped her massage her shoulders and neck. "You look very tired," he said."Um." Zoey recounted this incident to Russell.Russell finally realized that Zoey was not ignoring him, but she was really tired.Zoey noticed his thoughtful expression and quickly climbed up, sitting on his lap. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"Russell's deep gaze fixed on her, "Were you thinking if your aunt's period had ended?"Zoey's face turne
After Russell hung up the phone, he looked at Zoey."That person was silenced."Zoey pursed her lips and said, "It seems like we will have to trace the source through Sophia's phone."Russell nodded.The two of them returned to the bedroom, and Russell began to recover the contents of his phone."The other party's card was not registered with an identity, and the location of the signal it emitted was not within the country. Nelson has been in the country all along, and there is no relevant information on his phone, so it cannot be ruled out that Sophia sent the message to an overseas code, which was then forwarded to Nelson by the other party. They communicate through virtual numbers on the internet, so the source cannot be traced."Zoey clicked her tongue and said, "Nelson has finally become smart. It doesn't matter, even the smartest fox can't escape the hunter's grasp. Since we suspect it's him, let's just keep an eye on him, he will definitely strik
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
