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:
