Anya’s POV:
If possible, I would rather take Kester’s disability upon myself.
Just go! Don’t bother me!” He slumped on the bed, covering his head with the blanket.
“Kester, don’t be like this.” I throw myself onto the bed, hugging him with a heartache.
How could someone like him end up disabled?
“Your legs will certainly be healed. You must have faith! With the advancement of medical technology, there must be a way to cure it. Don’t be impatient. Don’t lose hope.”
Hearing my words, he couldn’t help but shed a tear of despair. “Anya, you don’t need to comfort me! I know the condition of my own body. I don’t need your pity or sympathy. Just leave! I just want to be alone in peace! Go! Go away!”
Kester’s emotions spiraled out of control as he yelled and tried to push me away.
Unfortunately, his legs had no sensation. He pushed too
Anya’s POV:Lost in my thoughts, I was startled by a stern and composed voice.“Miss Walter!”Hearing this, I looked up.I didn’t know when Tim had arrived. At this moment, he was standing before me with a grave expression.I felt a pang in my heart and quickly stood up. “Mr. Helsen, Hello.”He furrowed his brow and said with a sorrowful tone, “During this period, Kester’s mood has been extremely low, and no matter how much we try to console him, it doesn’t seem to work.”I instinctively bit my lip, feeling an immense heaviness in my heart.Kester was my best friend and the person who has been kindest to me.If it weren’t for Kester, I would not have made it this far.Tim adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and his face was saddened, “Miss Walter, I hope you can spend more time with Kester at the hospital. I guess you are the only one who can talk to him out it. I am counting on you.”After a moment of contemplation, I replied solemnly, “Mr. Helsen, please rest assured. I will stay by s
Anya’s POV:Kester had always loved me.I was unsure how to comfort him, but if I could uplift his spirits, I would marry him.For Kester, there was gratitude and appreciation in my heart.In the past, I had carried a burden and could not accept Kester’s love.Now, when Kester was at his most vulnerable, I felt it was necessary to offer him to support I could provide.“Anya, you don’t have to sacrifice yourself like this. I know the person you love is Evan.”I held his hand tightly, gazing at him with warmth in my eyes. “No, it's not true. I really love you. In the past, I felt that my divorce and the having children made me unworthy of you. So I couldn’t accept your love. But now, as you said, life is unpredictable and fortunate, it can change in an instant.”I continued, “There are some things that, if not done now, may never have a chance in the future. That day, you told me that if it was your last day, you wanted to be me by your side. After I went back, I kept thinking about tha
Kester’s POV:Anya’s phone rang non-stop every day.X city, M city, and Green Town all had a pile of work waiting for her to handle.I know that Anya’s career was in a rising phase and that she was extremely busy with work.Although I had more than enough money and Anya didn’t need to prioritize her career, I was not like Evan. I didn’t want to hinder Anya from pursuing what she wanted to do. I also understood that Anya wanted to fulfill her values.Therefore, I always supported the offered career.“Anya, why don’t you go and focus on your work from now?” I suggested.She smiled gently and reassured, “No, nothing is more important than your health. I will go back to work when you are feeling better.”I furrowed my brows, “But I am worried that if you continue like this, your work will be affected…”She replied, “It's fine. Even if I am not around, the higher-ups will take care of the company’s matter.”I smiled, “Anya, I am touched that you are sacrificing yourself for me.”“You silly
Evan’s POV:I felt a headache coming up upon hearing her words.Men were indeed fickle.Things that come too easily offer lost their allure. Princess Martha’s passionate and bold nature was indeed attractive in the beginning.But for men, this attraction was not just tempering novelty.Once the novelty wore off, it became nothing.However, considering Princess Martha’s prestigious status, I patiently continued to appease her.“Let’s forget about X city for now. It would be better for us to meet abroad after I finish my current work.” I patiently persuaded.Upon hearing this, her voice carried a hint of disappointment as she said, “Evan, are you afraid of being caught by the media?”“Mmm!” I ambiguously responded. “After all, you are a princess. If we were caught by the media, it would affect your reputation.” I explained.She instantly felt relieved and said joyfully, “Evan, don’t worry. Even if we are caught, I can marry you.”Upon hearing this, my head started to ache even more.The
Anya’s POVAfter hesitating for a moment, I sincerely took out a ring from my pocket.It was 9.9. carat heart-shaped pink diamond ring.It was the ring I had bought for Anya when I first confessed my love and proposed to her.Unfortunately, she didn’t accept it at that time.This time, I had my assistant find the ring for me.“Anya, this ring was specially bought for you. Would you… be willing to wear it?”She was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and reached out her hand. “Of course!”I laughed and looked at her affectionately, “By wearing this ring, it means you have accepted my proposal.”“Yes!” She nodded firmly.I felt a sense of relief and slid the ring onto Anya’s finger.Her fingers for long and slender, delicate and graceful.Illuminated by the light, the ring on her finger exuded an air of elegance and grandeur.“Anya, I love you.”“I love you too!” She smiled gently and put her face in front of me.I then deeply kissed her forehead.“For you, I will work hard on my reco
Evan’s POV:The moment she reached out, she revealed the diamond ring on her finger.Suddenly, my eyes fell on the diamond ring on Anya’s hand.My list twitched involuntarily.Anya had never liked wearing jewelry, so it was naturally impossible for her to spend money to buy a diamond ring.Moreover, this diamond ring was a pink diamond ring in the shape of a heart. It was worth at least two hundred thousand dollars. The Walter Group was currently in trouble now, and Anya would never spent such a large sum of money on a diamond ring.“What is that you’re wearing on your hand, Anya?” I asked abruptly.“It’s nothing!” She instinctively replied.My face paled, “Show it to me.”“Evan, can you please stop meddling in my affairs?”“Give me your hand,” I demanded, gripping Anya’s wrist and forcefully bringing her hand closer to my eyes.The diamond ring was a heart-shaped pink diamond. It must be incredibly expensive.My eyebrows raised, feeling an inexplicable wave of jealousy washed over me
Anya’s POV:The driver gets out first and opens the door.Jerry and Jason happily jumped out of the car. “Wow, this place is much nicer. We finally get to go home with Mommy.”“Yeah! It’s been so long since we had Mommy’s homemade dumplings. I have even dreamed about eating Mommy’s dumplings a few times.”I smiled and followed suit, getting out of the car. “Today, Mommy will make sure you enjoy a satisfying meal.”“Thank you, Mommy.”I had just called Miranda!I asked her to prepare the ingredients for the dumplings!After being away from my children for so long, I wanted to cook a meal for them with my own hands. The children loved my homemade dumplings, and I wanted to make them a special treat while I had the time.I led the children in front. Evan also got out of the car and followed.“What are you doing here, Evan?” I asked.“Nothing!”“Then why are you following us?” I questioned.When Evan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, “Anya, you wouldn’t make me wa
Evan’s POV:I had never experienced such a satisfying and enjoyable eating experience before. Only the spaghetti made by Anya could satisfy my discerning taste buds.After finishing dinner, it was already 7:00 PM.Anya chatted with the children, completely ignoring me.Watching the warm and lively conversation between the mother and her three children, I felt increasingly left out. Jealousy crept up in my heart.“Cough! Cough!” I intentionally coughed heavily, trying to draw their attention.Unfortunately, Anya and the children were engrossed in their reunion, and no one paid attention to me.I touched my nose in annoyance and spoke in a cold tone, “Jerry, Jason, and Flora, it’s time to go back.”The three little ones’ smile vanished as soon as they heard it!The smile on Anya’s face also cooled down.Jason, with a hint of grievance, said, “Mommy, we want to stay here!”Anya gently comforted them. “Darling, you have to go to Kindergarten tomorrow.”“Mommy, we want to stay with you!” T
Evan’s POV:My mind was in a mess.At that time, I thought that the relationship between me and Anya was completely over.I yearned for a new relationship to fill the void and alleviate the pain in my heart. After all, I was human too, and I too could experience hurt.Although I hurt Anya deeply, Anya hurt me too.However, it was a stupid idea to move on from an old relationship by dating someone new.“Evan think twice.”“I am sorry. What kind of compensation do you want? Just tell me. I will try my best to satisfy you!” I wanted to end this relationship as soon as possible with money.I was not poor.I had nothing but money.I didn’t know how to make up for losses I had caused others than compensating with money.If possible, I was willing to let her cut me.However, these were all unrealistic. The most practical thing was to compensate the other person with enoug
Author’s POV:Anya’s nose was bleeding non-stop and her white hospital gown was dyed red.She had already held on to her for too long.The tense nerves in her brain had already reached their limit. Then, they finally broke.She suffered from served depression, unable to regulate her emotions without the aid of medication.“Anya, Anya!” Kester shouted anxiously and tried to stand up from the wheelchair.Miranda was filled with terror as she swiftly moved forward to assist Anya. “Anya!” she exclaimed with concern.Evan’s POV:Seeing this, my heart jumped to my throat. “Anya, what’s wrong?”As I spoke, I rushed forward and picked Anya up from the wheelchair.“Evan, put her down!” Kester said helplessly, feeling powerless and anxious,I had no time for him. I carried Anya and hurried to the ward.“Doctor, please come quickly. T
Kester’s POV:I called the nurse.Soon, the nurse sent a wheelchair in!Miranda and Kelly helped Anya to the wheelchair.My legs were inconvenient, so I couldn’t help.“I can push Mr. Helsen; you can just need to follow the behind!”“Okay!” I had been in a wheelchair for nearly four months and gradually getting used to it.St Mary was a famous private hospital in X city.The environment here was very good. And all the facilities here were of the highest quality.There was a charming little garden that resembled an art park, featuring meticulously trimmed flowers and plants that were a delight to behold.Miranda pushed Anya around the garden.About ten minutes passed.In the corridor, coincidentally we met Evan.Author’s POV:Martha had been staying in the hospital for the past two days and was about to be discharged that day.Evan natural
Anya’s POV:I had been in the hospital for more than half a month. I had already woken up. I had also passed the critical period.After recuperating for some time, if nothing went wrong, I could be discharged.“Be good, have another sip!” Kester was holding a bowl of chicken soup and persuading me to eat more.“I am full! Kester, you still want to undergo leg rehabilitation treatment. You should hurry up and go back to G city.”He expressed his concern saying, “No, your injuries are quite severe at the moment. I will return once you are recovered!”While the two of us were engrossed in conversation. Miranda pushed the door open and walked in.“Anya, Mr. Walter is here!”His handsome face darkened. He frowned and said, “Why is he here again?”Miranda, not wanting Dad to visit, chimed in, “Do you really want to see him? If you prefer him gone, I will m
Frank’s POV:My second son has been more outstanding than my eldest son. He was smart and good at studying.It seemed that the Walter family’s remaining assets were better left to my second son.“David, when will you come back?”He paused briefly, contemplating the question, “That’s hard to say. If it was a brief, it could be around four to five days. However, if it is a long lifetime frame, it might be extended for one month or two.”I sighed heavily. “Then let’s talk about when you come back.”He looked curious. “What do you want to tell me?”I could not help but scold Harry again. “Sigh, ask your brother. Look what he did.”“Harry?”“He sold the house in S town and the two shops. He squandered them all! When you return, I will divide the property between the two of you. From now on, you will each be responsible for safeguarding your assets. If we don’t do it now, your brother will spend our well sooner or later.”“Oh!” He replied indifferently.He didn’t express any dissatisfaction
Author’s POV:They all died.At this moment, the other four realized what was going on and were shocked.They were pleading with the leader. They didn’t force him to split the money.But he shot.It was the same person who shot Evan just now.“Sometime, this is what happens!” The man with the pig mask slammed the gun on the table.His fierce temperament frightened everyone.“Do you have killed them?”“I told you, we are going to use this money for something grand! As long as you are part of my team, this money will grow exponentially in the future! Cars, houses, and women mean nothing. Don’t fixate on temporary pleasure!” The masked robber’s agitation grew with each word, his tone becoming frightenedly ferocious.Upon hearing this, the four robbers fell silent, refraining from saying anything further.A tall and lean robber suggested, “Well then, let’s stash away all the money for now!”“Boss, do you think Evan will involve the police? Perhaps, we should lay low for a while,” one of t
Evan’s POV:Very soon, Gael and Coral rushed over with some bodyguards!“Evan has been shot!”“Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter, how are you?”“I am fine!” I sucked in a sharp breath and staggered to my feet.Fortunately, I was wearing a bulletproof vest.I was shot four times in the back!Even though it didn’t penetrate, the pain was still intense. My back displayed four swollen marks as evidence of the shot.“Call the police now!”“Thank God, Evan… Boohoo…” Martha cried, and couldn’t catch her breath.This was an accident to her.She has been keeping a low profile and traveled around the world alone. Although she had met bad people, this was the first time she had been kidnapped.“Martha, they have not been done anything to you yet?”“No, I am just scared.”“Don’t be afraid, you are safe now!”“Let’s send Mr. Carter and Princess to the hospital!”Although Martha was now seriously injured, she got some wounds on her skin. I was also injured. We need to go to the hospital.Half an hour later, I
Evan’s POV:When the kidnapper heard, this he handed the phone to Martha.Martha’s panicked voice came from the other end of the phone. “Evan save me. I am scared. I don’t want to die.”My heart sank. “Martha, don’t be afraid. I am coming to save you!”“Yes, Evan, please save me. I want to go home. Boohoo!”Before Martha could say anything, the kidnapper gagged her again.After confirming that Martha was still alive, I felt a little relieved.“Mr. Carter, can you relax now? Your girlfriend is still alive and well. If you continue to hesitate, you can’t be sure what will missing from her body.”“Don’t hurt her. I am going to South Bridge now.”Twenty minutes later, I drove to the South Bridge again.The total length of the bridge was about a few kilometers. It was the X city sea bridge that connected V City and M City.Below the bridge was the sea.I waited on the bridge for more than ten minutes, but no one came.“Are they coming?” I thought as I looked at my watch. Another ten minute
Kester’s POV:“Hey! Hey!”I frowned. I hated Evan even more.I thought Evan was a heartless man who certainly be punished one day.Although Anya and woken up, she was extremely weak. She was still having a fever and her mind was a mess.“Jason, Jerry, Flora. I missed you so much…”I pushed the wheelchair to Anya’s bed. “Anya…”She looked up slightly and asked gently, “Kester, have you called him? How was it? Will he bring over my kids?”“Um…” My eyes flickered, not knowing how to answer.Looking at my troubled expression, she smiled sadly. She seemed to know that Evan had refused to let her see the kids.“How is it? When will the children come over? I really want to see children now!”My eyes darkened. I didn’t want anyone to be too disappointed. I was even more afraid that she would be sad when she heard that the children had not been sent overseas.“Anya, for now, you need to take care of yourself. I just asked the doctor, and he said that you need to rest well. Moreover, the childr
