Jacob took the cotton swab and applied it to her wound.
As soon as it touched her skin.
Her leg trembled, and she let out a soft cry of pain.
"Ouch..."
"It'll be over soon, don't move."
Jacob remained calm.
He quickened his movements.
Ivana trembled, continuously emitting painful moans.
But obediently didn't move her leg.
After disinfecting, Jacob applied some medicine to her wounds.
When he finished, he looked up.
He saw Ivana biting her lip, tears streaming down her delicate face.
It was heart-wrenching.
He frowned slightly.
It was just applying some medicine.
She cried too easily.
Jacob put the medical kit aside and said calmly, "Still hurting?"
"Yeah."
"Endure it."
Jacob's expression remained neutral as he spoke in a business-like tone, "You rest here, I'll go first."
Upon hearing this, Ivana lifted her head slightly.
Her gaze fixed o
Carl's expression darkened. He had expected Amparo might fail, and the Voodoo Lwa would end up with Yosef. That was part of his plan. He had a backup ready for Yosef. But he hadn't anticipated John's interference."Why would Yosef willingly give up the Voodoo Lwa?" Duncan wondered."Impossible," Carl dismissed. "The Voodoo Lwa is essential for saving his life. No deal could make him give it up... unless he willingly chose to.""Why would he do that?" Duncan asked, perplexed."Have you considered why John wants the Voodoo Lwa?" Carl looked at Duncan thoughtfully. "If I'm not mistaken, it might be because Diana has a serious condition that requires it.""So, Yosef gave up the Voodoo Lwa for Diana," Carl concluded slowly.Duncan was stunned. "Boss, that's hard to believe. Yosef would sacrifice his life for a woman?""People change," Carl said with a bemused smile. "I thought it was impossible too, but now..."He let the implicatio
Doctor Myers had just turned around when Diana quickly put on her coat and followed him."I want to see Voodoo Lwa too."John hurried to catch up and gently grabbed her arm."Why are you so eager to see Voodoo Lwa?""I'm curious! Ever since the auction, I've wanted to see her. Look at that skin, those legs, that waist..."Diana's eyes sparkled. "She's simply perfect! I need to see what she really looks like."John sighed. "Voodoo Lwa is a woman.""I'm not blind!"Diana rolled her eyes at John, pushed him aside, and rushed upstairs to the third floor. John had no choice but to follow.On the third floor, Doctor Myers opened the door and stepped inside. The room was filled with a peculiar fragrance, like some kind of herbal scent. He had smelled it before, in Voodoo Lwa's blood. It was her natural scent.Hearing the noise, the woman on the bed stirred. Slowly, she peeked out from under the covers. She stared at Doct
Ivana looked at the man approaching the bed and parted her lips slightly."Jacob."Diana was taken aback.She turned to John, incredulous. "What's going on? Ivana doesn't seem scared at all. She actually looks... happy?""I told you before, she has a special dependence on Jacob.""The difference is huge! She even called Jacob by name. She's never called me by my name..."Diana pouted.John observed her expression, somewhat amused.Beside the bed, Jacob adjusted his glasses as he looked at Ivana.His tone was businesslike. "Are you hungry?"Ivana nodded."Then get up and eat something," Jacob said.Diana rolled her eyes.Is this guy really that dense?She was about to remind him that Ivana was dizzy and couldn't get up when she saw Ivana muster her strength to sit up, leaning against the headboard, ready and waiting for her meal.Diana was astonished. Is she not dizzy anymore?
Diana: "Who needs your autograph? But seriously, I didn't expect you to become a celebrity just like that."Leah: "Of course, someone like me, an invincible beauty in her youth, not being famous would be a crime against nature."Diana couldn't help but smile. "Oh, come on. But now that you're famous, surely there are many people eyeing you. Is Colin showing any signs of jealousy?""Well..."Leah's tone paused.On the other end of the phone, Leah lay on the bed.Her cascading curls spread out on the pillow, resembling a flower in full bloom.With one delicate hand holding the phone, she gazed at Colin above her, her fingers lightly tracing the contours of his perfectly sculpted features, a mischievous smile playing on her lips."I guess he might be a little jealous."Otherwise, why would he keep holding onto her, even after so long?Diana clicked her tongue twice, "Alright then, superstar, you rest up. I'll h
Kevin cried for a while and then suddenly stopped.Something felt off.Usually, whenever he cried, his brother would lift him onto his lap, complaining but comforting him.But this time, Yosef didn't move.His brother wasn't comforting him."Bro..."Kevin wiped his tears, his eyes red as he looked at him."Why aren't you saying anything?"Yosef looked at him and suddenly said, "Kevin, if I gave you to someone else, would you be willing?"Kevin was startled, then his mouth twitched, and he started crying again."Wah~ I treat you like my biological brother, and you want to give me away? Do you really not want me anymore? I won't go, not even if I die! I'll never leave you!""To Diana."Kevin instantly stopped crying."Really?""Yes.""That would be great! Why didn't you say so earlier? When are we leaving? By the way, I've never been to Cloud City. Do you think we should bring some
Because of the tight shooting schedule, Andrew didn't want to disturb Tony too much and had only visited twice.Originally, Tony didn't want him to come, fearing that Andrew visiting him on set would seem odd and might attract attention.But Andrew's reassurance put his mind at ease."It's okay, Ben is there too. People will think I'm visiting my brother," Andrew had said.With Ben as an excuse, Tony nodded in agreement.Andrew squinted, pulling out a cigarette and biting it between his lips.In his warm eyes, a hint of amusement showed.Unexpectedly, Ben, his silly brother, came in handy at a crucial moment....On the other side.The set of "Pacific".On stage, Tony, the lead actor, was having a scene with Hollywood's rising star, Evans.Tony wore a suit, his long hair tied back, exuding a refined and fierce aura, not effeminate in the slightest.He played a top spy, with Evans playing the a
"We've done it before." Andrew turned Tony around, his voice dropping to a husky whisper at his ear. "You like it, don't you?"Tony wanted to curse, but his body betrayed him, responding eagerly to Andrew's touch.Andrew's skillful hands quickly had Tony melting, unable to put up any resistance.After a moment, footsteps suddenly echoed in the restroom.Tony was startled and was about to get up when Andrew clamped a hand over his mouth.Outside, Evans was on the phone.“I've been dragged to this godforsaken place for a shoot. I don't have any time to have fun. It's so damn annoying!”“Yeah, filming is pretty boring, but I've got my eye on this guy. My gaydar tells me he likes men too, but he's been pretending otherwise.”“Tony, you know him, right? The big star... Don’t worry, I'll get him into bed sooner or later. Then, he won't be able to get up!”Tony frowned in disgust.At that moment, he felt Andrew's grip ti
Tony looked sternly at Ben."Ben, why were you so reckless? What if the wood had fallen on you?"Ben felt a pang of guilt under Tony’s scolding.He mumbled, "Well... I was trying to save someone.""You could’ve kicked Wesley out of the way. Why use your body to shield him?"Ben: ...That’s true.But in the heat of the moment, there wasn’t time to think."Alright, go get those cuts on your face treated. If you feel any discomfort, tell me immediately."Tony advised, then went off to join the crew in checking the site.Wesley, wrapped in a towel and holding a bottle of water, watched Ben get his injuries tended to, a strange look in his eyes.Just now, Ben had risked himself to save him.No matter what, he probably... owed him a thank you.After the medical team left, Wesley scooted his chair closer, extending a bottle of water to Ben.Ben turned his head."I’m not thirsty."Wesley:
At another table, Frank sat staring at Liam in his smart suit, his brow slightly furrowed."Hey, been causing trouble lately?"Liam rolled his eyes, displeased. "No.""What's with the haircut then? Going for the military look?""My mom made me." Liam sipped his champagne. "She thought my old hairstyle looked too thug-like for Uncle John's wedding, so she took matters into her own hands.""No worries, I think this look suits you."Beside him, Rose tilted her head, looking at him with adoration."You know what? I think any look suits you, I just really like you.""Cough~"Liam choked a bit.He cleared his throat, "Don't say such things in front of everyone.""Sure, sorry~" Rose nodded obediently.Frank thought to himself, Damn. Even my bro's nephew is showing off in front of me? Can't let this slide!He turned to Jenny with a mischievous grin."Jenny, do you think my hairstyle looks good
Upon arriving, she put her hands on her hips, adopting an accusatory posture."Look at this, I left for just a moment, and you're already being targeted by women. How can I ever feel safe letting you go out?"John's deep gaze slightly lowered. "And you?"Diana looked down at the Red Rose in her hand, feeling a bit guilty."Uh..." She reached out and presented the rose to John: "It's for you."John remained silent.Instead, the little baby in his arms stretched out a hand, grabbed the Red Rose, and then happily held it in her arms.Diana chuckled, pinching the little baby's soft cheek."Oh, our Tiger likes flowers~"The little baby stretched out her short arms toward Kevin, earnestly offering him the flower.The little baby handed the flower to him!Diana was astonished."My goodness, Tiger, you can't even speak and you're already trying to win over little boys?!"Truly her daughter!Kev
Kevin pulled on his turtle shell bag strap, seriously said: "I really have to go now, remember, my name is Kevin Nelson."Saying that, he turned his head and was ready to leave."Wait a moment."Kevin stopped in his tracks, turned his head, looked at him with a complex gaze.What...Did his brother remember something, or was he reluctant to part with him?Yosef picked up a Red Rose beside him."This, take it."Kevin was somewhat surprised: "Give it to me? But I'm a man, why would you give me a rose?""It's not for you."Yosef handed the flower to him, glanced at the distant girl, and said: "It's for her."Kevin: "...I just told you, my sister has a husband and a child, are you still not giving up?"Kevin thought: Oh, no! My brother may falls again in the same place after losing his memory!"What are you talking about." Yosef interrupted his thoughts: "I didn't think about pursuing her."
Kevin let himself be led by Yosef's hand, and they both sat on the swing in front of the flower shop.Once seated, the little kid beside Yosef didn't make a sound.He wore a bowl cut hairstyle, carried a big turtle shell backpack, and lowered his head, lost in thought.Yosef occasionally glanced over at him.After a while, he couldn't remind silence any more."You..."Hearing his voice, Kevin immediately turned his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at him.Full of anticipation.Yosef slowly opened his mouth: "This outfit... who bought it for you?""My brother, what about it?""To be honest, your brother's taste isn't great." Looking at the little one's green onesie, Yosef slightly frowned, "Ugly."Kevin: ……This outfit was something Kevin had insisted on buying for his fifth birthday.He also bought a larger size for Yosef, as matching brother outfits.Although Yosef never wore it,
Hearing this, Kevin covered his mouth: "You mean... my brother's mind is damaged?"Godber corrected: "This is called mental issues.""Isn't that the same thing?"Godber: ...It seems so.Diana frowned. "Yosef lost his memory? With so many enemies, your situation should be unfavorable now, right?"Godber: "Mr. Nelson had already anticipated this. Before completely losing his memory, he divided the remaining power of the Nelson family into three parts, assigning them to the other three members of the Nelson family to keep each other in check, while he decided to retire due to health reasons."Kirin nodded. "So, currently, apart from us and Patrick, no one else in the Nelson family knows Mr. Nelson has lost his memory, thinking he's stepping down due to health reasons."Kevin asked: "Then where is my brother now?"Kirin glanced at Diana and John beside him, hesitating whether to speak.But then he heard John calmly say: "Gri
John's voice had a lazy, sexy edge."Sleep a bit more.""...Okay."Diana turned over, adjusting to a comfortable position, leaning into his embrace.Just as she was about to drift off, she felt the hand on her waist start to move along her curves.Wherever it touched, it ignited sparks.Diana's eyes flew open, and she turned her head.Behind her, John still had his eyes closed, his expression as calm as if he were asleep.But the hand under the covers was very much awake.This beast.Diana turned around and bit his Adam's apple.John frowned slightly, then opened his eyes.His deep gaze locked onto the girl in his arms.As if capturing prey, with a wild possessiveness.Diana knew that look well.It was the same look he gave her last night.She squinted. "Again?"His response was another wave of kisses....Diana became an overnight sensation without an
Reeves turned back and glared at Morse.Wanting to say something to retort against this guy.But he found... There was nothing to say...He looked at the cold and noble man beside Diana and felt an extremely complex mix of emotions.From the moment this man appeared, he knew he had lost.Lost utterly.John slightly lifted his eyes and swept them over Reeves holding roses.Facing the man's icy and profound gaze, Reeves felt somewhat nervous.Just as he thought John would question him, he saw John casually withdraw his gaze and look at the girl beside him."Do you like it?"Reeves: ... This man actually completely ignored me!Being ignored hurt Reeves' pride even more than being questioned!It meant that this man simply didn't regard Reeves as a threat!Unable to help himself, Reeves said."Are you Miss Thompson's fiancé?"Hearing this, Morse behind him covered his eyes with his ha
Hearing this, Frank approached her and whispered, "Big sis, think it through. This guy doesn't seem too smart; having him around might lower our overall standard.""Don't worry, if you can work well in the studio, so can he."Frank: ???Reeves beamed with joy: "Then, Miss Thompson, please accept my flowers first. When I join the Blue Rose Studio, we can get to know each other better.""I welcome you to Blue Rose as a designer, but I can't accept your flowers or feelings.""Why?""Because I already have someone I love."Reeves: ......He opened his mouth slightly, then his expression fell."Who is it?"Reeves scanned the group behind Diana one by one.A bunch of top-notch handsome guys and beautiful girls almost blinded him.This...Each one was very likely!Reeves had a complex expression on his face: "May I ask impertinently, the person you like, is it a man or a woman?"Diana:
Faced with the relentless questions from the reporters, Diana remained calm.She nodded."The name Blue Rose does hold a special meaning for me. As for Reeves, I'm not familiar with him; I have nothing to say.""Miss Thompson, you're so young and accomplished; how about your love life? Do you have a boyfriend?"Hearing this, Ben immediately stepped forward."This is Diana's privacy; we refuse to answer!"The reporters were taken aback for a moment.Everyone stared at Ben wearing a hat; suddenly, excitement surged: "Isn’t this Big Star Fly? Why did he suddenly appear here?"Someone seemed to realize something."Could it be that Fly and Thompson are a couple?!""You're talking nonsense! Diana is my biological sister; stop spouting rubbish here! And this is my girlfriend!"Saying that, Ben pulled Liora over and tightly grasped her hand."This is my girlfriend; Diana is my sister, got it?!"Hearin
