Immediately afterwards, the broad and smooth flesh of the back was viciously cut by the barbs of the whip.Blood marks were clear and severe pain invaded.It was only the first whip and cold sweat broke out on Melvin's forehead.He gritted his teeth and tautened his muscles, but he still kept his back straight and suffered it without a word.Charles noticed the bandages in the middle of his undershirt when he took off his shirt, and he deliberately avoided to whip his injury.But this left even less room on the back to resist the torture.Therefore, when came to the fifteenth times, Melvin's entire upper back that was divided by bandages was crisscrossed with blood. Whipping got his flesh broken. His skin was split, which was shocking to the eyes.Melvin's breathing was also getting heavier and heavier, and the blue veins on his forehead were bulging.Even his eyelashes were trembling uncontrollably. He pursed his lips and determined not to let out the slightest sound of humiliation.
"Don't touch it. It's dirty."Lyra stared at him. She had a clear mind, "The blood is fresh, which means something just happened here. You didn't see anything when you and Chad rushed over here?" Melvin didn't say anything and glanced at Chad.Chad understood and explained, "I arrived here first. I came in just in time to bump into someone trying to jump out the window and run away. So I hurt him with a knife, this should... be the blood left by that person.""Where is that man? With your, how could you let this man run away?"Chad was momentarily speechless and scratched his head in feigned embarrassment, "Sorry, it was my oversight. He had company, so I didn't chase him."OK.Since he did not catch up the person, there was nothing to ask.She glanced at Melvin again and saw that he seemed to be doing okay except for his face and lips were a bit pallid... was it really just a cold?"Let's go. Back to the villa."Lyra turned around and headed for the door.Melvin followed after her.I
The silk garment had adhered to the wound in a large area and the blood was dried up.Nineteen shook his hands and tried twice but couldn't get the shirt completely off.But the bloody whip wounds can already be seen."Oh my God! Who did this? So cruel!"Previously, Nineteen was a fighter in the black market's organization. The rules were very strict. Fighters that were not good enough would be beaten to death, which was normal. But Nineteen was just okay and he was not beaten too often.And Melvin was different. He was obviously a well-bred young master. How can he still be so seriously injured?Melvin stopped his surprise with a hush, "Don't shout. Close the windows, draw the curtains, and use a hot towel to spread my back for a while if you can't get my shirt off.""Yes."Nineteen hurriedly did as he was told, and went to the bathroom to for a hot towel. He was a little intolerant, "Mr. Freeman, the hot compress may hurt a little, you ... bear it."Using a hot towel on the injury w
Seeing his puzzled face which was still flattered, Lyra explained."Didn't you say that ordinary ointment is useless for the injury caused by S40. This box is the allopathic ointment I asked someone to buy yesterday morning. Use this for the back. It should be healed faster." Melvin looked down at the ointment in his hand.Although she didn't say it, he knew in his heart that this ointment was only available in the war lab, and it was probably she contacted Collin to get it.The treatment effect was really not bad, but this was S404 biochemical virus. This ointment was useless for his injury."Thanks, it's the first gift you've given me since the divorce."His thumb gently stroked the ointment box. His eyes were slightly red and he even felt the bruises all over his body less painful."Not really a gift. You got hurt for me this time, so this is compensation for my guilt, and ..."Lyra paused and smiled evilly "What really qualifies as gifts since the divorce is the bankruptcy of the
It was the first time for Rebecca to see such a shameless man and she was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. Lyra was beside her with laughter.Rebecca had always been spoiled by the family. She did not expect Rebecca would suffer loss in the hands of Melvin."Lyra..." she pouted and looked at Lyra. Her eyes were watery. She wanted to continue her accusation but was afraid she was not better than a man in terms of pretending.Lyra's expression grew serious as she looked at her, "Rebecca, whether he say it or not, he can only do what I tell him to do. Is it too much to ask you live here with me, eat what I have and use what I have, and try to beat up my people?"Rebecca was confused.Lyra continued, "This is not your family, and while I treat you like a sister, I won't spoil you.""Lyra...""I'm going to make a trip to Suham tomorrow. I'll buy you a ticket and come with me then.""Ah! I'm leaving tomorrow. I haven't had enough fun at your place for three days yet! Lyra-"Lyra ign
It was Melvin's voice. Lyra's relief was replaced by anger, "Why aren't you answering your phone?" The man's tone was tinged with a hint of sleepiness and fatigue, "I fell asleep. It's so late. Why haven't you rested? Is something wrong?" "Nothing happened. I had insomnia and couldn't sleep." "So... I stay up late with you?" "Hmm." Lyra answered softly. Remembering the dream just now, she ordered him seriously, "I remind you once again. You are not allowed to go anywhere, and the phone volume must be the maximum. As long as it is my call, you must answer no matter what time." The Melvin on the other end of the phone was silent for a while and his tone was light, "I see, so are you sleepy now?" "Not sleepy." "So do you want me to tell you a story?" "Don't." "So are you hungry? You send me the address where you live. I'll order a late night snack for you?" "Not hungry." Melvin didn't know what to say. It was the end of the conversation! Lyra did have trouble
Lyra furrowed her brows, "What's wrong with him?""Mr. Melvin he...passed away..."Lyra was stunned on the spot.Passed away?The person who chatted with her and told stories the whole night on phone passed away after she got up?Lyra didn't believe it at all, "What do you mean? What kind of trick is he playing again?"Eleven's voice was getting choked up with sobs."Nineteen said that it was the man in black's plan to kill you last night. Mr. Melvin learned of it in advance. He told Nineteen not to let you know. Then he went alone for you and helped you get the group killed, but he didn't... didn't come back... ..."Lyra took a step backwards. Her expression was gradually shifted from shock to a sneer."Impossible! I don't believe it. How can he die so easily!?"Eleven did not talk. Seeing that the lady was still suspicious, he did not hold back his tears for a moment and cried.Lyra shouted angrily, "What are you crying about? You're a man! Your salary will be deducted for six month
Her reason was overturned again and again. Looking down at the black box, her hands suddenly were trembling uncontrollably. She handed the box of ashes back to Chad. And she was still biting her lower lip and shaking her head with a sneer."I don't believe it. If you have the guts, you can get him to come and talk to me in person!""Miss...""Get out!"Lyra berated and took a step back. Then she shut the door heavily, isolating everyone.She inhaled deeply and tried to calm her mind, attempting to find her sanity.Just sitting on the couch, she saw the pile of sticky notes she had just taken down.She picked them up again and read them carefully.And on that day before getting on the car, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her very tightly. At that time she did not pay attention. Now that she thought about it and recalled that his eyes that day seemed a little red ...He knew this day would come, so long before she left Frayton, he was ready to meet her for the last time?But...S
Anthony, who was on the other end of the phone, noticed that her mood was not right, smiled gently and coaxed, "Rara, don't worry. Spencer and Momo are very good. Spencer has finished his injection and didn't cry. Momo seems to be a little bit timid, but I hold her and she's quiet."Lyra looked at Momo's aggrieved expression, and her heart ached like a twinge. She endured it before saying, "Thanks.""No problem."Anthony laughed and his blue eyes looked fascinated.These bright blue eyes only glowed with a shimmer when they saw Lyra.Malcolm watched the interaction between the two.The heart abruptly had a dull pain. He suppressed the sour feeling on his nose and silently went to the side to pack suitcases.Lyra didn't pay much attention to Anthony at all and was preoccupied with the babies.In the video, the doctor had prepared the syringe, hidden the needle and coaxed Momo.But Momo was very resourceful and seemed to have guessed that she was going to be given a shot. Her nose was w
High fever?Lyra gasped and her expression instantly turned grave. And then she turned her head to go out, "Buy a ticket immediately and go back to our country.""Honey, take it easy for a minute."Malcolm took her wrist and said methodically, "It's late at night over in Crana. There's no private plane that can be transferred this time, so there's not always a flight back home at night. Even if there is, the plane will take more than 20 hours to get there."Lyra gave him a cold look, "So you're just going to sit there and wait? Malcolm, you're really not worried when our babies get feverish and sick because we're not around?"She shook off his hand and walked outside the venue.Malcolm let out a long sigh and rushed to catch up, "I was wrong this time. Our babies are sick and I was in a hurry, but it is really too far for us to go back. So I have already called Anthony to let him know, and have Chad go to the medical team of White family to call in the pediatrician."He walked side by
In the anticipation of all the guests, Nil took the microphone, "After the group's deliberation, the Lloyd's Corp of Crana won the bid for this project. Congratulations." Applause erupted from the venue.Some people felt lost. Some exclaimed, and some admired.Lyra and Malcolm were the most calm ones, because this result was not unexpected.Midst a round of applause, Lyra stood up gracefully and bow slightly to all the guests at the scene, being courteous and polite.She stepped onto the red carpet, took a step onto the stage and shook hands with Nil in front of everyone, signaling a happy collaboration.The media gathered around the two who were shaking hands and took photos of them.Lyra's expression was appropriate and her temperament was elegant and generous.At this point in the bidding process, it was basically over.The groups that were not selected had to return without any success.But to their surprise, Nil announced another piece of good news before announcing the end of th
With Malcolm's personality, he was definitely not talking about work.Lyra raised her hand angrily and flicked him hard on the side of his head."This is a work thing. Be decent."Malcolm frowned and rubbed his painful forehead, employing a rebound tactic, "This is obviously decent. It's you who's thinking out of the box."Lyra was confused.Could it be that she was impure?She raised her hand again and flicked Malcolm's forehead again, accusing him righteously, "I am misled by you. You're making erotic statements all day long."It was always his fault. Malcolm conceded, lowered his head, listened docilely but did not open his mouth.Seeing his obedience, Lyra gave him a kiss. Remembering the half-hour delay in the opening of the tender meeting, she asked curiously, "After all, Nil Grey is the first heir of Atria and paramount and powerful. What did you tell him?"Malcolm had a mysterious expression, "Do you really want to know?"Lyra nodded her head.His handsome face had rare expres
Meeting his gaze, Melissa raised her simple and bright eyes and opened her mouth to explain."I think I may not be suitable for the actor industry. I don't want to be an actress. I want to go back and think about how to start my life and re-elect a suitable path for myself."Keith breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, as long as it was not a withdrawal, break-up, and leaving him, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would do his best to help her."Okay, I promise you. Don't worry. I won't force you to make a choice. You are now 21 years old at heart and have absolutely no acting experience. You certainly have the opportunity to choose your career path again."He stretched out his palm towards Melissa. His eyes were gentle, and the bass was nice and pleasing to ears, "I'll take care of the crew. You're tired today. Let me take you back to rest, okay?"Melissa stared at his broad palm for a while.Keith was patient, waiting quietly for her to think about it and give a reply.Me
Lyra and Malcolm smiled at each other and looked at each other with love in their eyes."They are all here to visit the museum. Do you want to go over and talk? Get acquainted for a few minutes?" Lyra asked with a smile.Malcolm looked across the exhibition hall, "Since Mr. Hoare is also enjoying with his girlfriend, he must not want us to disturb them. Or should we wait until they finish browsing that exhibition area and then go over?"Lyra nodded her head in agreement.She didn't like socializing, let alone interrupting their sweet time because of it.She thought Mr. Hoare and Anne didn't like it as well, so it was better not to disturb them.A brief interlude did not stop the two from visiting the Great Museum.Lyra and Malcolm waited for Paul Hoare and Anne in front of them to finish each time before moving on to the next show.Strolling around, this was the largest museum exhibition in Atria, and the afternoon of fun passed quickly.By the time the two emerged from the museum, th
Would be able to have sex?Malcolm's dark eyes glowed with excitement.As long as they could have sex, anything was fine.It was just crying in front of his wife. There was nothing to be ashamed of!He bit his lower lip, forced his eyes redden, looked back at her and admitted being defeated softly."Honey, I'm sorry. Next time I will never make a fool of myself. Don't beat me. My ass is swollen."Lyra lowered her eyes and looked at the wound behind him.The skin was indeed swollen and red with the water droplets.She admired her masterpiece," Mel, your butt looks even better. It's called the quick butt augmentation method. Top quality and excellent service." Malcolm was speechless.He suppressed the evil intent in his heart and asked, "I've given in. Shouldn't you keep your promise and let's do it?"Lyra put down the bath brush and nodded.The moment the weapon wasn't there, her wrist was clutched by Malcolm and pulled under the shower.The aggressive could no longer be concealed."Ra
Lyra hummed twice with arrogance, "Then we'll see."They were looking at each other with a strong desire to conquer.Crana was a long way from Atria, more than 20 hours by plane.With Malcolm's company, Lyra wasn't lonely at all on this trip.The two leaned over the plane window and watched the first rays of sunlight.And they watched the mountains with clouds stacked up.And they also saw the extremely beautiful sunset glow.Lyra pointed to the clouds in the sky that was flushed with purple and red, playfully smiling and teasing Malcolm."Do you like that color? When we get off the plane and check into the hotel, I'll give you a coat of fuchsia on your skin, okay?"Malcolm wrapped his arm around her waist, "It must hurt. You sound cruel but you definitely can't do that to me."Lyra tilted her head and placed a shallow kiss on his chin to represent her answer.Indeed, she couldn't be that cruel.Although it was Malcolm's disobedience that led to the exotic honeymoon this time, what wa
Lyra did not need to think and immediately knew which mysterious gentleman the stewardess was talking about.She sighed helplessly.She didn't expect a good low-key trip to be made so grand by Malcolm."First class is not necessary. Thanks for that gentleman's kindness. I purchased business class after all. I only sit in my own seat." She shook the plane ticket in her hand to the stewardess, while walking towards the cabin.The stewardess looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but Lyra had already walked away.She had no choice but to call and report the matter to the mysterious gentleman.Lyra found the seat she had purchased in the empty cabin.She stayed up late last night revising the project, and had sex with Malcolm most of the night, so she could barely sleep.She was used to catching up on sleep on the plane. As she just sat down in her seat, she asked for a small blanket from the stewardess.She put her knees up, turned her phone off, and lie down to fall asleep in s
