Anya’s POV:I heard it and felt that my heart wrenched for no reason.If he had ever been as gentle as this before, I would probably still love him badly!However, things changed. I had walked in the cold blast and got caught in the pouring rain. I was once helpless, desperate, and deeply hurt by him. So, I had to shut myself off and would not trust him again.”It was difficult for me to open my heart to him again.His eyes flickered as he looked at me with a smile. “I have a good news for you.”“What is it?” I still look depressed without slight expectation.What good news could Evan bring me? It should be nothing more than him being acquiring a few more listed companies or closing more big deals.“Forget it.” I will tell you later when it’s the right time.Evan’s POV:I swallowed my words when I saw Anya was not looking forward to the good news.I had made a call the day before and planned to bring the children back to the country.They would arrive the next afternoon.I had planned
Anya’s POV:Evan left.I felt sad for no reason.Somehow, the gentler he was, the worse I felt. He was doing everything he could and trying to win my heart and trust again.However, I had shut myself off! I knew, that even if he won my heart and trust again, he would only hurt me one more time.“Evan, I hope you can stop doing this! No matter what you do, you can’t compensate for what you have done to hurt me!”I had already been in the hospital for more than one week. It would be Christmas Eve two days later!It seemed I had to celebrate Christmas alone in the hospital this year!Since my mother passed away, I have been all alone for Christmas each year. After I became a mother, I celebrated Christmas with my children.Unexpectedly, I was alone for Christmas again this year.Tina’s POV:The next day, I woke up early and could not help but call Kensely.Beep! Beep!The call went through immediately.Kensely quickly picked up the call. “Hello?”“Doctor Kensley, how was it going?”He si
Wallace’ POV:As soon as the call went through, Mia thundered, “What’s going on with hat I told you to do? It’s been three months, and there is no progress till now! Christmas is coming soon, when the hell are you going to do it?”I frowned and quickly explained, “Mia, it’s tricky now! Anya is staying in the hospital now, and she has got bodyguards and servants around. Other than that, there were many doctors and nurses in the hospital. We can’t enter her room at all!”She roared, “Its your problem! Do you still want that? $4 million or not? If you still want it, figure out something. Stop giving me crap. You got a brain and think with it! That damn bitch won’t wait and come to her death if you come up with don’t come up with something!”I said timidly, “Chill out! We are on it. We have to think of perfect plan. We can’t act rashly. Otherwise, we will be shot to death.”She could not help but curse again, “Make it quick. I can’t wait any longer!”“Okay, okay. Wait for our good news!”
Anya’s POV:When I saw the man, I vaguely felt the man’s figure was familiar but couldn’t remember who he was.I looked into the man’s eyes and suddenly remembered it all.But it was too late. When I realized it, he had come to me with a knife.I dodged to the side in fear and crowded in the corner of the bed.He had stabbed the knife into the blanket!“Ah! Help! I screamed and raised my arms, and then the IV drip bottle knocked the man together with the pole.He stabbed again.I hardly picked up the pillow and blocked it!Hiss!The pillow was cut open and the feathers inside flew everywhere!I raised my leg kicked him in the chest, and then rolled from the other side of the bed onto the ground.“Help!”“Something is happening inside!”When the bodyguards heard the cry, they immediately pushed the door open.Unfortunately, the door was already locked from the inside.“On your feet.” The bodyguard stepped back and kicked the ward door open.When they rushed into the ward, they were sho
Evan’s POV:However, Anya was still in surgery, and I didn’t have time to settle the score with the killer right now.The operating door opened when I was bewildered.A nurse walked out with a straight face and ran toward the other end of the corridor.I hurriedly stopped the nurse. “Nurse, how is the patient?”“The patient has a massive hemorrhage and needs an immediate blood transfusion!” The nurse told him me and I left in a hurry!Hearing that my mind went blank.Gosh! Anya had a massive hemorrhage!“Would she die?I staggered and leaned heavily against the wall. “Anya, you must be hold on. Please don’t die.”In the operating room, the surgery was still ongoing!Three hours later, the light of the operating room finally went out and the doctors them out.Seeing it, my heart was about to pound out of my chest. I rushed to the doctor and asked, “Doctor, how the patient?”The doctor frowned and regretfully, “Sorry, Mr. Carter. We lost the baby.”“Then, what about Anya?”“Fortunately
Author’s POV:Soon afterward, a group of police officers come to the hospital for investigation.The police paid a lot of attention to this murder case.Police officers and detectives came and questioned everyone in the hospital.Kensley had nothing to with it.But he felt guilty and panicked when facing the police.It was fortunate that he had gotten away with it.The police only looked into the things related to the killer and didn’t investigate anything about Grace’s death!The media somehow got the news that Anya had been assassinated by her enemies.The news spread over the Internet overnight. The netizens acted like the Great Detective Sherlock Holmes and assumed all, the possibilities!(Miss Walter was assassinated by the killer when she was hospitalized.)(The police paid much attention to this murder case.)(Miss Walter had a miscarriage. Mr. Carter was so furious that he was pressuring the police.)(The killer committed suicide to avoid punishment. The boss behind his is yet
Tina’s POV:My heart sank when I heard that!I assume that Mom didn’t do it.But as far as I know, Mom, she would overjoyed and gloating if she knew that Anya had a miscarriage!On the contrary, she was so calm to hear the news! She must have known it long ago.I took a deep breath, kept my voice down, and asked in fear, “Mom, did you get someone to do that?”When she heard that she is even more exasperated. “Jesus! How could that be? You are talking nonsense!”“Really? You didn’t do it.”“No, I didn’t! Stop talking nonsense.”I was still worried. “I would be relieved if you had not done it!”“That goddamn bitch had offended many people. She must have messed up with someone she should not have.”“Oh,okay!”“Are you coming over for Christmas? Or are you going to celebrate Christmas in your place?”I thought for a moment. “Well, we will see. I will go back to you in the afternoon.”“Okay.”“Got a go! See you later!”I hung up the phone.I was still feeling uneasy. I weighed it down and
Tina’s POV:Evan sneered. “I will get to the bottom of it. Whoever dares to hurt Anya is having an issue with me! Those who have issues with me will have a hard time ahead!”When I heard that, I subconsciously staggered and almost fell to the ground!“Keep an eye on her, all of you! Before the truth is revealed, you are not allowed to leave Sherane Bay Villa or get in contact with anyone! Take her home!”“Yes, Mr. Carter!”The bodyguard responded, grabbed my bag, and took my phone out.“Miss Walter, please return to your room!”I was freaked out. “Evan, I have to go home now. I want to go home and see my parents. Christmas is coming. You can’t do this to me!”“When I find out the truth and know you have nothing to do with it, I will let you go! Now, behave yourself and stay in your room as told! You had better wish Anya would be safe and this has nothing to do with you.” He said, as he turned around and coldly walked down the stairs with his long legs.“Evan, Evan…”Two bodyguards ste
Evan’s POV:“Anya, you are despicable!” I seethed with anger, directly pressing her down, and started another round of frenzied invasion.Then I launched a new round of crazy invasion.The more she feared getting pregnant, the more I insisted on impregnating her.When she gave birth to the child for me, I wondered, how would she run. So thinking, I tried harder, hoping idea to have twin or triplets.Anya’s POV:The next day, my whole body felt weak, and my limbs were so too sore to the extreme. I had originally planned to wake up at seven but ended up sleeping until 10:30 before recently getting up.“Oh, no, it’s already 10:30. I need to hurry up and go to the hospital.”I dragged my exhausted body and weak body, hastily washed up, and then drove to the hospital.On the way, I suddenly remembered that I had promised to buy egg tarts for Flora. So, I have no choice but to drive to the shopping center again.The things sold here, whether edible or usable, were all top-of-the-line.Of co
Anya’s POV:I looked at Evan and said, “Evan, take a rest. Flora has fallen asleep. You should go back to work tomorrow.”“Don’t bother that. I want to personally stay with Flora. I feel more at ease this way.”“I can handle things here alone. You don’t need to stay.”“How can I leave? Flora needs me right now, and I will stay with her.”Anya’s body trembled.“Anya, once Flora recovers. Let’s get remarried, shall we?”Upon hearing this, my eyes instantly wrinkled.“Remarrying?”I had never thought about such a thing.“Evan, please, don’t bring up these matters right now. I just want to focus on curing Flora’s illness. I don’t want to think too much about anything else.”Evan’s eyes turned cold. “I know what you are thinking, but I want to tell you one thing. I truly love you. And I you and you love the children. I like the idea of being a family with you and your children. I am willing to spend the rest of my life making a for the pain I caused you in the past. Anya, so let me unravel
Marlowe’s POV:Over the past few days, my face darkened with a malicious grim as I saw the increasing online news coverage about Evan.“Evan, this is only the beginning, I will meticulousely settle our accounts. These nine years, I spent in prison will not be in vain. I will make you fall for Grace and pay you a hundred times the price.”Tina sat provocatively by the side, adding, “President Yanice, the Carter Group, is already under investigation by relevant departments. I believe retribution will come soon. The show is finally starting. When the times come, I will present a big gift to Evan. I won’t let him retaliate. Haha, a delightful cooperation. President Yanice, once the Carter group collapsed, remember the promise you made to me won’t be broken.”I smirked maliciously, “Don’t worry. I will always keep my word.”“And. what is this big gift you mentioned?”She sneered, “I have brought another alley on board. With his assistance, we can deliver a fatal blow to Evan. When the cruc
Author’s POV:Online, a new wave of reports emerged.“The Carter Group Assaults Journalists, leaving two reporters seriously injured with severe concussions.”“Evan may face intentional harm charges.”“Two injured journalists are currently receiving treatment in the hospital. The Carter Group’s actions have sparked outrage among the entire X city.”The Internet was buzzing with the news about Carter Group’s bodyguard assaulting journalists.Although Coral attempted to suppress the website, the scandal of the journalist's assault was publicly reported by mainstream media outlets, making it impossible to contain.The footage depicted the journalist and bodyguard shoving and pushing each other unequivocally showing an assault had taken place.Various websites and platforms started sharing the official news reports, making it impossible to suppress the story.“Mr. Carter, the two journalists have filed a law against suit against Carter Group. We received the court summons today.”Evan too
Evan’s POV:I exhaled a plume of smoke, my face growing even more fearsome amidst the swirling haze.Marlowe was arrogant and domineering, bordering on madness. He had spent nine years in prison, not directly at the hands of me, but indirectly due to his actions.If he didn’t seek revenge against me upon his release, it would be a surprise, indeed.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped directly at the children’s hospital.“We have arrived at the hospital Mr. Carter.”“Hmmm!” I stepped out of the car, shook off the scent of smoke from my body, and walked straight to the ward.In the word, Anya sat beside Flora, carefully feeding her some liquid food.“Sweetheart, are you still feeling uncomfortable?”“Mmm, not as uncomfortable as before.”“Then take one more bite.”“Mommy, I can’t eat anymore.”“Come on, just one more bite. You need to eat a little more.” Anya scooped up a spoonful of nutrition supplement and held it near Flora’s mouth.“Okay,” Flora recently opened her mouth and swall
Author’s POV:Evan went to the Carter Group.There was a meeting in the conference room.All the executives and shareholders were in uproar as they kept asking questions.“Mr. Carter, what should we do? You have to give us an explanation so that we can be at ease.”“That’s right! Now that Carter Group is being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. This is a serious problem. If we don’t deal with it properly, we won’t be able to meet again in the future.”“We invested so much money. It won’t go down the drain, right?”Evan's face darkened. He looked coldly at everyone. “If anyone is afraid, he can withdraw from the Green Bay project now.”When the shareholders heard this, they exchanged glances and could not make up their minds.The Green Bay project was already ready for construction, and it was about to bear fruit. It was not worth to withdraw now.However, Evan was now being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. If they failed, they would be
Tina’s POV:Now that I had achieved my goal, of course, I didn’t wait to move out.Otherwise, if Evan found out that I was playing tricks behind his back, I wouldn’t know how I die.During this time, Zachary and I had joined hands with each of us having our ulterior motives. We had already broken through the line between men and women and made love together.Zachary took me to visit the place he had found for me.“How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?” He asked.It was a small villa complex. It was top-notch residents, but it was still a high-end residence.I looked around at the decoration of the Villa and smiled. “It’s not bad.”He hugged my shoulders and kissed my lips vaguely. “Stay here for a now. I will get you a bigger place in the future. Don’t worry. If you allow me, I will make you have a good life.”I smiled and hooked my arms around his
Anya’s POV:Although Evan was released, he was restricted from leaving the country until the case was investigated.At the children’s hospital, the two of us entered the ward one after another.“Ora, Daddy, and Mommy are here to see you.”On the hospital bed, Flora had an oxygen tube inserted into her nose. Her little face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.“Daddy, where have you been for the past two days? Why are not you here with me?”Flora had already completed the first round of chemotherapy. She was so thin that she was nothing but skin and bones.Evan came to the bed and looked at his daughter gently, “Isn’t Daddy here now?”Flora blinked weekly and looked at him saying in a childish voice, “Daddy, can you accompany me every day in the future?”“Of course!” Evan reached out and gently caressed his daughter’s pale face.
Evan’s POV:“The Carter Group, President was taken by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Evan is suspected of money laundering and illegal financing.”“Someone reported Evan for money laundering and bribery.”In less than three hours, the matter of me being investigated had already become a trending topic.It was clear that someone was adding fuel to the power.“Someone reported for your illegal financing and money laundering.” the agent asked.“I am not answering any of the questions without my lawyer.” I crossed my arms and looked calm.After all, this was the first time I had to deal with these people.“You have the right to remain silent, but your every word will be used against you in a court of law.”I had crossed my hand and didn’t say a word, no matter how the agent asked. I didn’t say a word.Soon, 24 hours passed. I
