Zoey asked, "Did you smell a fragrance when you entered the guest room?"
Russell lightly hummed, sensing something unusual in his body and understanding her meaning. "So, I have been hit, then?"Zoey nodded.Russell closed his eyes and controlled the restlessness inside his body, "Why didn't you and Nelson feel any different?"Zoey explained, "The effect of this fragrance is very strong, and basically, one or two minutes is enough to be affected. I didn't get affected because I took the antidote in advance. As for Nelson, he must have taken the antidote too, otherwise he would have been infatuated long ago, how else could he control me? It's my fault for forgetting to remind you."Russell took a deep breath and asked, "Do you still have the antidote?"Zoey glanced at him and apologized, "I only have one in my bag. But I can give you an injection."Russell glanced at the buildings on both sides of the street and thought, "I'm almost at my destinatioZoey knew that Russell's patience had reached its limit.She said, "I have an apartment nearby, I will take you to the apartment for the injection."Russell nodded, clenched his fist, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.Zoey started the car and stepped on the gas pedal, heading straight for the apartment.Leanna watched the rear ends of the cars driving into the traffic flow, covering her mouth and giggling."Heart is really big, just went through this incident and still able to laugh."Hearing a familiar male voice, Leanna turned abruptly and said, "Toby, didn't I tell you not to speak? I really doubt if you can ever be cured of your chauvinism!"Toby held his trouser pockets with both hands, looking like a young nobleman, completely different from his bloodthirsty appearance just now."Last night I saved you, just now I saved you, is this how you treat your lifesaver?"Leanna pursed her lips. Toby was telling the truth, but it
At that moment, Nelson lying on the sickbed was unaware that his parents were planning to save him.He requested the police to call Russell and tell him about the important matter concerning Zoey.The police reported to the director, but the director did not immediately reject it. Instead, he called Russell to ask for his opinion.Russell heard about the matter concerning Zoey and agreed.Soon, he received a call from Nelson."Russell, can you please spare me, considering our blood relationship?"Russell coldly said, "No."Nelson knew it would be like this, but he didn't give up and still wanted to ask.Russell lost his patience, "If it weren't for you mentioning something about Zoey, I wouldn't have said another word to you."Nelson chuckled, "Russell, you were really ruthless to me."He complained and then, afraid that the other person would hang up, immediately said, "I have a video from eight years ago in the bar, where Ariana wa
The crimson flames illuminated the night sky, windows shattered with a crisp sound, and thick black smoke billowed into the air.In the air of Woodmerrow Hospital, besides the pungent smell of disinfectant, there was also a choking smell of heavy smoke.People fled in all directions, cries, shouts, and coughs merging into one.The medical staff maintained order and ran towards the stairwell with the crowd.The originally empty staircase has now become very crowded.There are a total of 17 floors in the hospital. The fire broke out simultaneously on the 15th, 14th, and 13th floors. Nelson lived on the 13th floor, so he was affected by it.Just at that moment, the power supply system of the entire building was cut off, and the backup generator also broke down.The building instantly plunged into darkness, and the raging fire was like a giant beast, baring its teeth and claws in the night sky, ready to devour everything.People in the stairwell s
Upon hearing Zoey's question, Russell also nodded."So you were also thinking about this question."Zoey lightly hummed, "This car accident left no trace whatsoever, making it very difficult to investigate, which is quite abnormal."Russell tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "I had given the surveillance footage to the police, and they were investigating.""But I couldn't be at ease as I wasn't sure if the deceased was Nelson, he was like a time bomb to us."Russell lifted the person horizontally and walked towards the big bed, saying, "You didn't sleep at all last night, so rest well."Zoey pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."Russell rolled over on top of her, "Can't sleep? How about we do something we both love?"Zoey remembered their first time together, Russell kept her busy the whole afternoon, and her legs are still weak till now.She whispered, "I was a little tired."Russell didn't intend to be serious, he w
Zoey hugged Leanna and kissed her on the face.Although both of them were wearing masks, they still looked very intimate.Leanna blinked her big eyes and asked, "Wha-what happened?"Zoey expressed her idea, "If the truck transporting Nelson inside is a car, we can easily send him away. We can look for cars that suddenly appear before and after the section where the truck disappears on the surveillance."Leanna was still a little confused, but she felt that Zoey seemed to have understood some of the issues.She foolishly exclaimed.Zoey let her go first, she wanted to call Russell.Leanna nodded, looking at Zoey's happy and relieved expression, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.Zoey called Russell and shared this hypothesis.Russell also thought it made sense, so he called the police station and explained the situation.The director instructed the police officers to check the surveillance footage in response to this speculation.
Zoey couldn't help but find it amusing when she noticed Russell acting jealous. "Jealous? Leanna is a girl!"Russell's brow furrowed gradually, "Can girls kiss too?""Of course we can! We used to do it often..."Russell placed his thumb on her lips and said, "No, you can only kiss me, and only be kissed by me."Zoey felt that this man was being domineering now. She grabbed his wrist and said, "You're being unreasonable! It's just a kiss on the cheek, and we're even wearing masks."The man's kiss fell before the words were finished.Unlike before, this kiss was urgent and impatient, carrying a hint of punishment.Zoey realized that Russell was truly jealous, and she finally understood how strong a man's possessiveness could be, even to the point of being jealous between girls.She responded gently to him until the man's kiss gradually became tender.Russell rested his forehead against hers, his breath slightly labored."Don't be so cl
At this time, Aldmill.In a secret base.Nelson opened his eyes and the bright light was so dazzling that he couldn't help but close them again.He wanted to raise his hand to cover his eyes, but he found himself tied up and unable to move.He shouted, "Is anyone there? Help!"The sound of footsteps came, and an exceptionally handsome man appeared in front of him. The man had a pair of deep brown eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and looked like a mixed-race."Shh, you're so noisy," the man raised an eyebrow, holding a syringe in his hand, filled with pale blue liquid.Nelson exclaimed in fear, "What are you going to do?""What do you think was the value of being saved?"Nelson didn't know who saved him or what their intentions were. At that time, all he wanted was to stay alive, so he didn't even try to save his own mother, who could have been saved.He watched helplessly as they threw a male corpse into the car, positioned Livia
The next day.Zoey came to Leanna's office and looked at her with a slight apology."I'm really sorry this time."Leanna clicked her tongue and said, "Why are you and I even discussing this? Toby and I have already decided that when it's time for the engagement banquet, we will find a reason to cancel the engagement."Zoey: "...Actually, Toby is not bad. You can give him a try."Leanna took a sip of coffee and said, "I and this dog of a man are incompatible. I feel like he was born to undermine me."At that moment, the phone on the table vibrated.Leanna glanced and said, "Speak of the devil and he shall appear."She rolled her eyes and picked up the phone, "Hello, jerk, no, you heard wrong."Zoey: "..."Leanna instantly widened her eyes and said, "You are coming to pick me up for the family dinner tonight? Oh, alright. Got it."After hanging up the phone, Leanna looked at Zoey and said, "Tonight, the Spence family and the Suare
After Russell and Zoey woke up, they prepared to bid farewell to the people in the village and go back to Oakhedge Hospital to visit Lilliana.They simply did not see the figures of Roderick and Enzo.Maliyah handed a note to Zoey.Zoey saw the four words written above, "Zoey's Turn."She opened it and saw that it was written by Roderick.It was written above that he and Enzo went to search for the Thousand Poison Spirit Grass because Russell's illness could not relapse again, otherwise each time would be more severe.Zoey clenched the note tightly, pursing her lips.Russell's illness was indeed urgent, and as soon as they returned to Woodmerrow, she prepared to research the antidote.The two masters treated her very well, treating her like their own granddaughter.In the future, she will definitely take good care of them.Russell walked over and asked, "Have the two masters left?"Zoey nodded lightly, "I l
Zoey glared at him and said, "I'll take another look at how your wound is healing. The lighting wasn't very good earlier."Russell leaned back, with his hands propped on the bed, and raised an eyebrow at her, "You helped me undress."Zoey pursed her lips, bent down, and then grabbed the edge of the man's T-shirt with both hands and rolled it up.Suddenly, Russell grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, sitting her on his lap.The man's warm breath sprayed against her ear. His fingers caressed her slender fingertips. "Tell me, after not seeing each other for a week, do you miss me?"Zoey wrapped her hands around the man's neck, but kept a slight distance between their bodies, afraid of touching his wound. "To be honest?""Um.""I didn't think.""Really?" Russell pinched her chin and turned it towards himself. "I don't believe it."Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, her alluring red lips making men envious.Rus
Russell's eyes were as deep as the Night Guild, as he pondered over all that had happened.He murmured, "Look up Nathalie, there might be some new discoveries. Of course, the fact that her information has been completely erased also raises some questions. What can be proven now is that the leader of the mysterious organization we were discussing earlier should indeed be the person who built the laboratory."It is reasonable to say that this conjecture is plausible.Zoey glanced at the remains on the ground and said, "I had planned to use Natalie to lure out the person behind the scenes, but I didn't expect them to be well-prepared and cut off all ties. Now, our leads are gone."Russell brushed off the dust from her body and said, "It's okay, even the cleverest fox reveals its tail at times."He looked at the people of Butteriron Village and said, "I hope that in the future you will be able to coexist peacefully with Esterden Village, otherwise we w
Under the dim yellowish firelight, Zoey's gaze pierced Natalie's eyes like a sharp blade.Natalie's pupils dilated as she did not expect the woman in front of her to associate so many secrets."You..."Zoey's lips curled up, "Actually, you've lived long enough at your age. Even if you don't say it, I would have found out sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.""I said!" Natalie didn't want to die, "I told you everything I know! Forty years ago, I saved a man who was being chased. He made a deal with me, I provided him with Venomous Worm, and he gave me a huge sum of money. But I didn't want the money, I just wanted something that could kill without a trace, because I hated Maliyah that woman, and the whole Esterden Village people, but I only knew how to kill with Venomous Worm, which would be too obvious. After the deal with the man, he provided me with parasites, and I secretly put them in the water of the people in Esterden Village, so that anyone
Hazel's words, Russell and Braeden naturally did not believe.Braeden took out the tracker and found that Troy's location was still in the same place as before.He directly refused Hazel, "We will find them ourselves. You don't need to bother."He took back the tracker and pushed Russell forward.Hazel couldn't believe that they had actually rejected her, and her gaze turned fierce.She snorted coldly, blew a whistle, and over ten people from Blackmere Village appeared in front of Russell and Braeden, blocking their way.Hazel walked up to the two of them with her hands on her hips, raising her chin as if she were a proud little princess."I liked both of you, if you agree to be with me, I won't torment you, otherwise..."Russell spoke up in a low voice, "Otherwise, what?"The man's voice, although lacking warmth, was very magnetic.The moonlight fell on the handsome face of the man, as if it was coated with a lay
While Zoey was performing the special treatment on Natalie, she was also taking her pulse. In fact, she discovered that the discomfort in Natalie's heart was not due to any underlying medical condition.Those symptoms were similar to Russell's symptoms, as if there was a foreign object in the heart, but it wasn't a moving object.She pulled out the silver needle and placed it aside, "Get into position."Natalie turned over and there was a one-centimeter-long scar on her back, although it was thin, it was still noticeable.This confirms Zoey's conjecture, "You have left the village before, haven't you?"Natalie's body stiffened, "No.""Your heart should have undergone surgery."Natalie turned her head to look at her, her eyes filled with disbelief. "What?"Zoey looked calm and determined as she said, "You left the village and underwent surgery."Because clothing cannot be worn during the special treatment, there were only
Although it was a great opportunity, Zoey did not immediately agree.After all, the two villages had a hostile relationship, so if she agreed immediately, it would raise suspicions.She scrutinized the man with a pointed nose and chubby cheeks in front of her, as well as the silver jewelry they had brought. "Take these things back, I won't give her any medical treatment."The man looked hesitant and said, "If you don't go, I won't be able to report back, and I will be punished by the village chief.""Does it concern me? I don't know you, why should I care about your face?" Zoey coldly glared at him."My name is Bruno Kaufman, and I will come back again," the man nodded, carrying two loads of ornaments with him as he left.Roderick and Enzo walked over.Roderick asked, "Why do you think they came?"Enzo clicked his tongue and said, "That must be because my clever apprentice has exceptional medical skills, so the chief of Butteri
Russell silently watched her for a long time. He knew that this journey was very dangerous, but she had to go."I'm sorry, I couldn't accompany you."Zoey raised her hand and gently stroked the man's cheek, "Don't say that. The situation is special, just cooperate with the doctor's treatment. I will come back as soon as possible."She leaned on the sickbed, leaned over and kissed the man's lips, "Wait for me, my dear."Russell fixed his eyes on her and said, "Be careful.""Don't worry."Just as Zoey was about to go downstairs, she was grabbed by the man and pulled back.His generous palm held the back of the girl's head as he kissed her. This kiss contained no desire, as if he wanted to melt her into his own body, never to be separated from her forever.The kiss lasted for a long time before the two of them separated.Russell's voice was hoarse, "Zoey, you must be careful.""I knew."Zoey reluctantly left R
Russell furrowed his brow, the intense pain and nausea making him extremely miserable."Russell, open your mouth."Russell quickly opened his mouth upon hearing the words, and the Golden Worm flew out with a wriggling blood-red worm in its mouth, landing on the disposal plate.The Larvi-worm was transparent, but it turned red after sucking blood, and it writhed in pain.This is where Golden Worm tore apart Larvi-worm, slowly devouring it bit by bit.Meanwhile, in a basement in Woodmerrow.Nathalie, who was bound to the cross, felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if something was gnawing at her heart.Her scar-covered body was oozing cold sweat, and because her mouth was stuffed with a cloth, she could only make whimpering sounds.She struggled desperately, her eyes, nose, and ears all bleeding, even the cloth in her mouth soaked with blood.She began to convulse.At this moment, someone removed the cloth from her mo
