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
Anya’s POV:Surrounded by small islands, one can observe the environment where I standing with a pair of binoculars.After hanging up, I got out of the car. She stood on the dock and looked around.There were fishermen selling seafood everywhere. On the sea, many small fishing boats were floating around.The fisherman stood on the fishing boat and enthusiastically hawked to passersby. “Do you won’t buy lobster? They are fresh and cheap.”“There are also groupers and crabs. They are all freshly caught. Come and buy some.”I was not in the mood to care about these people. I just looked at the people coming and going in front of me uneasily.I waited another ten minutes or so.A middle-aged man with dark skin approached me. “You are Anya Walter, right?”I turned around and saw a man dressed as a fisherman standing behind me.“Yes, I am Anya Walter!”“Come with me!”I held my breath and hurriedly followed the fisherman.The fisherman brought me to a relatively quiet dock and pointed at th
Evan’s POV:Beep! Beep! Beep!David called again.Anya and I both rushed to answer the call. I answered the call hastily.“Hello…”On the other end of the phone, David said gloomily, “Anya, come to Newcan Island alone! Don’t play any tricks, or your daughter will die a horrible death.”Anya’s voice sank, “Alright, don’t worry. I will go alone.”“If I find out that you and Evan were playing any tricks behind the scenes, I will chop your daughter into pieces and feed her to the dogs.”“David, don’t hurt, Flora. Don’t worry, I will go alone.”He sneered and hung up.After hanging up, my eyes darkened. “Anya, I won’t allow you to go. If somebody has to go, it would be me.”Anya’s expression was a little unfocused, “Evan this is the grudge between me and David. Let me settle it alone.”“No, I won’t let you go alone to meet your death. Kody keeps an eye on her. Don’t let her leave Sherane Bay Villa.”“Yes, Mr. Carter.”Without waiting for the bodyguard to come forward, Anya rushed to the co
Anya’s POV:After waiting for the entire night, the call didn’t come again.Evan and I had not slept the entire night. Our eyes are red from exhaustion from the whole night. We remain on the edge, feeling as if it were doomsday.Beep! Beep! Beep!In the morning, Evan’s phone rang againThe two of us reached for the phone at the same time. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, the voice from the voice changer said, “It seems like you have not made up your mind yet.”I asked bluntly, “David, is that you?”The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.I took a deep breath and said calmly, “I know it’s you. Please don’t hurt Flora. If you hate me, you can come at me. Flora is just a child. She is innocent. Please don’t hurt her. No matter what, you are her biological uncle.”When David heard this, he was furious. “Shut up. Are you done talking?”“David, can we talk calmly? Even if I die, many things can’t be resolved. What do you want? Or what do you want me to do? You can tell me.”
Anya’s POV:If Flora was kidnapped, with the Carter family's financial resources, no matter how much ransom was asked, we could afford it.But I was afraid that David had abducted Flora. The situation would be different if that’s the case.He hated me to the core. He might very well take revenge on me by hurting Flora.In the next hour, Evan and I looked like it was the end of the world.Every second seems to be like endless darkness.Beep! Beep! Beep!Finally, Evan’s phone rang.Evan held his breath and quickly picked up the call. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, a distorted voice from a voice changer said, “Hello, there Mr. Carter!”Evan’s POV:I gasped. This voice was very familiar to me.Just like the kidnapper who kidnapped Princess Martha before, it was the same kind of voice changer. “Who are you exactly?”“Do you have my daughter?”“That’s, smart!”“Please don’t hurt my daughter. How much do you want? I will give it to you.”“I don’t want money this time. I want people.
Anya’s POV:I had been too careless.I know that someone had always wanted me dead, so I shouldn’t have let my guard down.Although I had bodyguards with me this time, not many people were allowed to enter the hospital. Therefore, the bodyguard could only wait outside, which gave the criminals an opportunity.“If anything happened to Flora, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”“Flora, where are you? It’s all Mommy’s fault…”“Miss Walter, it’s not time to be sad. Finding Miss Flora is the priority now.”“Harry, let’s hurry to the surveillance room and see if Miss Flora has been taken out of the hospital.”“Okay.”The group of us arrived at the surveillance room.“Miss Flora is missing. Hurry up and put out all the surveillance cameras.”The security guard in the surveillance room was originally dozing off. When a few blurry men barged in, he was so frightened that didn’t dare to say anything and hurriedly checked the surveillance camera.Kody moved the mouse head to c
Anya’s POV:I kept comforting Flora. It was not easy for me to coax my daughter.The nurse drew two tubes of her blood and brought her to the CT room for various tests.After the examination, I asked the nurse, “How long will it take for the result to be out?”“The other test result could be collected in an hour. The result of the blood test would only be out tomorrow.”I had also expected this. It was always like this in the past. “Alright, I understand.”When it was almost noon, Evan called and asked, “How was it?”“There is nothing wrong with these tests. We will have to wait till tomorrow for the blood test result.”“Oh, then I am relieved.”We left the Children’s Hospital.I call Fantine again.“Hello, Miss Anya?”“Is Dad in the hospital?”“Oh, Mr. Walter is here.”I paused for a moment. “I will go over to see him later. Tell Dad.”“Okay.”After the call, I prepared to go to the hospital to see Dad.“Flora, follow Aunt Lilian home first. Mommy will go to and see Grandpa.”When Fl
Evan’s POV:I rubbed Jerry’s head and smiled reluctantly. My youngest son was clever and knew how to flatter me. He was completely different from Jason’s personality.After a twenty-minute drive, we arrived home.“Flora, Daddy, and Mommy are back.”‘Daddy, Mommy. Cough, Cough…” Flora was watching cartoons.Her eyes lit up when she saw us return. And she greeted me as a lie like she did every day. However, she looked sluggish.Anya handed a gift to Flora. “This is a gift for you, Flora!”“Thank you, Daddy and Mommy,” Flora got a limited edition doll and squeezed out a smile.“Baby, are you feeling unwell?”“Yeah, I am a little unwell!” She said. She couldn’t help but cough twice again. Her big eyes revealed her trace of fatigue.Anya’s POV:Seeing this I quickly reached out and touched my daughter’s forehead.The temperature was not very high. It did not seem like she was having a high fever.However, Flora had always been sick. Thus her body’s immune system was weak.“Mommy will take
Anya’s POV:The next day, I got up early in the morning.After washing up, Evan was still asleep. I could only shake him awake. “Wake up. It's time to get up.”He yawned, “So early? What’s the hurry?”“It’s getting late. It’s already 7 o’clock. Hurry up and get up. We still have to rush to the airport.”“Sigh. I have to hand it to you.” Eva reluctantly got off the bed and was dragged to the bathroom by me, who urged him to wash up.After everyone was done, it was already 8:30 in the morning.The driver drove us to the airport.Unexpectedly halfway there, we met a few foreigners in a local police uniform.A tall, burly white man raised his hand to signal the driver to stop. He said in a local language. “Get out of the car quickly. There will be a routine inspection. We suspect you have dangerous items in your car.”“All of you get out of your car and take out your passports…”Evan replied in English, “We need to call our lawyer!”“Shut up and get out of the car.”A few police officers
After hanging up, Anya looked melancholic. “Look, the children are urging us to go back.”“I rarely travel. Let’s shop for a few more days.” I know the best way to treat depression is to relax and heal naturally.“Three days at most.”“There is no need to rush.”“Let’s go. Come with me for dinner.”Anya was helpless. She changed her clothes and went to the street with me.At the entrance of the street.Anya was buying coffee when Coral walked up anxiously and whispered, “Mr. Carter…”I was stunned, “What’s wrong?”“Princess Martha wants to see you.”I frowned.I had not contacted Princess Martha for three or four months. I felt it was over between us.“How did she know I was here?”“Princess Martha happened to be in Menola too. When she saw my Facebook post, she guessed you were also in Menola.”When I heard this, my face was darkened. “Who asked you to post on Facebook?”“Sorry, Mr. Carter…”As he spoke, Princess Martha appeared out of nowhere. “Evan, long time no see!”I turned roun
