Anya’s POV:
It was already Christmas Eve!
I had yet to recover, so I could only stay in the hospital for Christmas.
A loud sound was heard.
The whistle of fireworks came from outside the widow. Bright fireworks boomed in the sky.
Seeing this Miss Chain and Lillian ran to the window quickly. “Who is setting fireworks?”
“Wow! The fireworks are very beautiful!”
Fireworks were strictly prohibited in X city. Only during major holidays like Christmas or Independence Day could they be released at a designated location. The police had to maintain order at the scene.
Therefore, it would cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up fireworks. Moreover, it was something that anyone with money could plan.
Another sound was heard.
Another round of fireworks bloomed in the sky, adding color and sparks to half of the X city.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” The nurse we
Evan’s POV:I coughed and my face twitched. I was a little angry.I thought, “This silly woman really doesn’t know how to back down. She really wants me to lose face. Why can’t she just follow my wishes and take the initiative to mention marrying me? Forget it! I shall swallow my pride. It doesn’t mean anything. My wife is more important!”I flicked my tongue and pretended to touch the tip of my nose!“Anya, I want to tell you something!”“Go ahead!” She looked at me seriously.I looked at the servants and said, “All of you get out first.”“Yes, Sir!” Miss Chain, Lilian, and others didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly left the ward.After they left, I suddenly choked and stammered, “Anya…”I was usually a deceived and determined person.However, now, I felt inexplicably awkward about proposing to my ex-wife.
Anya’s POV:My heart sank and I didn’t want to continue the topic. “Don’t talk about these things today!”“Yes, yes, yes! It’s Christmas. I should say something happy!”“Let’s watch the fireworks!”We heard another loud sound.The fireworks outside were still blooming in the sky.The two little boys could not help but run to the window. “Wow, the fireworks are really beautiful!”“Mommy, look! Daddy specially prepared these for you. Are you touched?”I looked at the dazzling fireworks outside the window and felt a pain in my heart.“Evan, can you stop not to be so high-profile? You are putting me in a difficult position.”I was now the Queen of Topics X city again. I didn’t want to be the topic of gossip.“What’s there to be troubled about. I am clearing your name. Let everyone know that I
Mia’s POV:Tina continued crying, “Mom, what should we do now?”“Go find him. Anyway, you are pregnant now. I don’t believe he dares to do anything to you.”“Mom…”I was infuriated. I said angrily, “Let’s go to the hospital. Find that bitch Anya Walter.“That’s not a good idea!”“What’s wrong with that? We just have to go there and create a scene. If she doesn’t feel embarrassed, we will go there every day and give her more trouble!”Hearing this Frank retorted, “Oh my God, can you stop making such a fuss? Isn’t this messy enough?”My eyes widened in anger. I pointed at his nose and scolded, “Are you going or not? Can you bear to see your daughter suffer? Can you bear to see your daughter be a single mother? I don’t even know how you became a father!”Frank’s POV:I
Anya’s POV:And I was treated even worse than a stranger.“Anya, why are you still so stubborn? This is a family scandal. Why do you have to make it public? You have looks, a career, and there are lot of good men out there. Why don’t you let go of Evan.No matter what, as Tina’s father, I will certainly settle the matter today. You can’t be with the Evan. Evan and Tina are couple. If you insist on being stubborn, I will really not acknowledge you as my daughter.”“I don’t want to say anything else. You can say whatever you want.”Tina cried until her face was covered in tears and her nose was all runny. Although her tone was soft, it was filled with strong threats. “Anya, I beg you, don’t pester Evan anymore. I really can’t take it anymore. If you continue to with Evan, I will kill myself. If I die, I won’t let you have it easy either. I will drag you and your children down with
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I looked at Evan in shock.I didn’t expect Evan to be so heartless towards Tina.“Evan, no, no, I don’t want to break up with you. Tell me what kind of spell did my sister cast on you? I lost your love since she come back!”“Let go!” Evan pushed Tina away in disgust.Tina turned to look at me and couldn’t stop crying. “Anya, I’m begging you! Let Evan come back to me. Give him back to me!”As she said, she knelt with a thud.“Get up!”“No, I am not getting up. You can’t do this to me. You can’t…”Mia said angrily, “Mr. Carter, you have to be responsible for Tina. If anything happened to Tina, I won’t let you off. I will risk my life to get you to bear the consequences.’“Mrs. Walter don’t be in such a hurry. Tina is related to a caste. The police a
Anya’s POV:Evan frowned slightly. “Highly likely, chances are 90%. However, we still need a witness. Although the murderer is dead, the murderer receives a sum of money before he dies. Money comes from Mia’s cousin. Moreover, the murderer already had cancer before he died. As long as those two cousins were found, the truth was revealed, and she would be sent to prison.”After hearing this, I couldn’t help her frown. “What about Tina?”“Whether she knows about it or not, or whether she has anything to do with it., I am done with her!”“Evan, I don’t want your relationship with Tina to break up because of me!” I looked at Evan seriously. Although I hate Tina.Everyone thought that I had seduced Evan back then. I had carried that burden for six years.Now, if Tina and Evan broke up again, I would probably be blamed again.Evan seemed to guess by concern. He gently h
Chevron's POV:Not far away. Tom and I were hiding in the dark. When we saw Tina and an unfamiliar man hugging each other tightly, we were stunned.It was obvious that their relationship was not simple.That was not all, Miss Tina also left with that man.“Damn it! Miss Tina is actually making out with another man?”“What should we do? Should we follow them and stop them?”Tom teased, “I didn’t expect Mr. Carter to be cuckolded too!”“Stop laughing and follow them.”After talking, we immediately started the car and followed the motorcycle.“Make a call to Mr. Carter!”“Yes, yes!”Tom drove while I quickly picked up my phone and called Mr. Carter.Evan’s POV:My phone rang.I took out my phone and saw a call from Cherron, one of my bodyguards.“Hey, Cherron, what’s up?”He
Cherron's POV:Tom and I were downstairs.Tom and I took photos of Tina walking into the apartment.The man’s apartment had thin walls that were not soundproof. We didn’t enter the apartment to take photos of Tina and him, but we recorded everything Tina and he said.Then, we sent the photos to Evan.Evan’s POV:I was furious when I saw those photos and had indescribable and complicated feelings.“I have seen this man twice. I didn’t expect Tina to have an affair with that man. Besides, it seemed they had been together for a long time.Tina always pretended to be a pure girl in front of me. Thus, I had never doubted her.In addition, Tina had done well in keeping it a secret. That’s why I didn’t discover Tina’s affair with another man.I cursed, “Damn it! That woman is disgusting. I must get back everything I gave her.”I was very generous to Tina
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
