Anya’s POV:
However, my worries now center more on Evan.
He had already donated bone marrow twice to his daughter, and they claimed it could not affect his health, but could that be true? Each surgery depleted his life force.
A single surgery was equivalent to releasing the vitality in his body.
“You take good care of Flora. I will go see Evan.”
The nurse replied professionally, “Got it.”
After ensuring Flora’s well-being, I quickly return to Evan’s side.
At this moment, Evan needed me more than Flora did.
“Evan, I am back.”
“Why did it take so long?”
I took a deep breath, “Please, I only went to check on Flora. It didn’t even take five minutes.”
Evan’s eye reddened, and he looked at me with a painful expression as if he were an abandoned orphan.
Seeing this, my body went weak for no apparent reason. I held his
Anya’s POV:Flora had not seen his Daddy for many days and didn’t know what had happened.“Mommy, where is Daddy?”“Evan, he…” My face darkened. I didn’t know how to explain it to Flora.“I have not seen Daddy for a few days. Where did he go?”“Daddy is overseas on a business trip. He might not be back for a long time.”Flora asked innocently, How long?”I could only comfort my daughter, “Dear, your daddy will be certainly come and see you soon as he come back.”Flora looked disappointed and helpless.“Miss Walter, Flora is recovering very well. She can be discharged.”“After she is discharged from the hospital, take her to return to the hospital for a checkup every week”“Okay, I see.”“Flora, you can be discharged.”Flora was very happy to hear that. &ldq
Anya’s POV:I sat beside him, and an uncomfortable silence settled between us as we drove.Halfway through the journey, unable to contain myself any longer, I broke the silence, “Evan, how are you? Are you doing okay in there?”Evan raised an eyebrow, his gaze filled with complex emotions. “You don’t have to worry. The lawyer will handle everything.”“But I am worried. I admitted, my concern evident in my voice.“Worried about what? Worried that I will go to jail?” Evan smirked, his eyes playfully, fixed on me. His large hand could not resist resting on my shoulder, ready to pull me into an embrace.“Do you miss me?”I straightened up, trying to maintain a serious demeanor. “Can you stop fooling around? It’s not the time for jokes. Why are you in such a lighthearted mood?”“Don’t you miss me?” he persisted, not letting up on hi
Evan’s POV:While we were talking, Jason and Jerry returned from Kindergarten.The boys was stunned when they saw me standing in the courtyard. They thought they must be seeing things.“Dad, you are finally back.” Jason and Jerry said in unison and ran towards me.Then, they hugged my leg from both sides.I looked blankly at them, feeling flattered.These two have never treated me so warmly. Compared to the other two kids, Jason was more reluctant to get close to me.But now, he took the initiative to hug my leg!“You two brats, let go of me!”“No, we won’t!” The kids refuse to loosen their grip, as if I would disappear if let go of me, Their eyes turning red.“What’s wrong with them?” I looked at Anya in a daze.Anya’s eyes also turn red. “The kids are happy to see you.”“Really? I am so glad they finally started caring about their Dad. Good. I didn’t raise them for nothing.” I smiled faintly as he patted my son's head.I then bent down and picked them up.The two boys were already m
Anya’s POV:After Evan finished the food on his plate, he used his spoon to scoop a dumpling from Jerry’s.Jerry pouted and protested. “This is mine. Dad, don’t snatch it from me.”“Dad, you can have mine!” Flora immediately pushed her plate to her Dad.“Unlike these two brats, my daughter cares about me the most!”“Dad, you can have mine.” When Jason and Jerry heard this, they quickly pushed their dumplings to Evan.Evan smiled, “It’s okay! I was just joking with you.”I was happy to see Evan interact with the kids at the dining table. It was great that the Carter family became deadly again.Severants’ POV:We looked at them outside the dining room and were dumbfounded.“Tsk, tsk, tsk! Mr. Carter is particular about food. I didn’t expect him to like spaghetti and dumplings so much.”“We can cook these two staples more often for him in the future.” a chef said.The other chef rolled his eyes, “Forget it. Mr. Carter liked them because they were made by Mrs. Carter. He won’t want us to
Evan’s POV:The shareholders and executives were talking about me in the conference room.“Mr. Carter was released on bail yesterday. He should come to the office today, right?”“Mr. Carter is already at the office. I just saw his car outside!”“So much happened recently. Mr. Carter’s detention caused quite a stir. Countless reporters are waiting downstairs.”“That’s right! I wonder how the Carter Group will keep going on if Mr. Carter…” A shareholder paused for a while before he continued hesitantly. “What if Mr. Carter goes to jail, who will take over the Carter Group? Well, it's just the hypothesis.”“Whoever has the most share will take over.” Another major shareholder blurted out.Everyone discussed uneasily as if I was doomed to go to jail.White they were discussing; I pushed open the door of the conference room and appeared in front of everyone with a gloomy face and scanned around coldly.The originally noisy conference room instantly fell silent. Everyone sat up straight in
Author’s POV:The face of the Liam, who was sitting below the stage, stiffened, and a complicated look flashed across his cloudy, gloomy eyes.Evan handed the Carter Group to an outsider rather than to his uncle.He couldn’t understand or accept this.No one expected Evan to suddenly make such a decision.“Mr. Carter, you must be kidding.” Everyone’s expectant gaze instantly turned into contempt for Anya.They admitted that Anya was not an ordinary woman. Otherwise, she should not have been able to get the man who was as brilliant as Evan and Kester so obsessed with her.It was not because she was outstanding at work.Moreover, she couldn’t run a small company like Walter Group well. How could she manage such a huge company like Carter Group?“I am not joking. If I am no longer around, Miss Walter will be your chairman and take over my work.”“I will temporarily transfer all my authority to Miss Walter.”Everyone looked at each other. their eyes popping out in shock.Liam’s POV:My fa
Evan’s POV:My heart ached even more, and tears warmed up again.No one could keep clean in the dirty business world, let alone stay out of trouble.The punishment for my crime might be severe or light. I could be sentenced to death or to be considered not to have committed a vicious crime.It was up to how the lawyers would fight for it. It would be best if I could be out of the hook after paying some fine.If it could not be solved by money, I would ask the lawyer to help me get a lesser charge so that I would be released from jail a few years earlier.“Don’t ask me anymore. It’s not good for you to know too much.”She sniffed and punched me twice. “Evan, you bastard! Why do you always make me cry?”“Stop crying. This is not the time to cry. Don’t worry. I will be in jail for a few years at most. I will be out soon. Be good when I am not around.”Anya didn’t answer and cried more bitterly.I raised my eyebrows slightly and joked around with her. “If I am only sentenced to three or f
Author’s POV:The reporters were interviewing when they saw Liam and his assistant walk out of the company.They swarmed towards Liam again, “Mr. Miller, may I have a word with you?”Dozens of microphones were handed over, and more than ten bodyguards stepped forward to stop them. Unfortunately, they were outbound and could not resist their reporter's madness.“Mr. Miller, it heard that Mr. Carter voluntarily resigned from the president’s position. What do you think about this?”“Will Mr. Carter pass this position to you?”“Did Mr. Carter pass the president position to his ex-wife? Is that true?” The reporters were bombarded with questions.Lima's face was dark, and they didn’t say a word. Surrounded by the bodyguards, he finally passed through the crowd and made his way into his car.Reporters for broadcasting live and were even dying to be the first to report the latest news.“The Carter Group's President Evan Carter resigned voluntarily and will face 20 years in prison.”“Evan’s Ca
Anya’s POV:I was thinking silently on the hospital bed, not reacting to him. After receiving utensils from him, I ate mechanically.If I left him, I needed money.I plan to sell the properties in M city and Green town. At the same time, I would also sell the properties overseas.Evan had once given me black card. I had used part of it, but there was still over $20 million on it.I could use this time to cash out all these things and then choose the right time to leave him.Seeing that I only ate rice and didn’t pick any of the other dishes, Evan leaned over and peered at me few seconds. He asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong? Why do you look like this? Are you feeling unwell?”“I am fine. It’s just that my calf hurts a little,” I replied quietly.“I will call the doctors and tell them to prescribe you some painkillers.”“No need. It's not good to take too many painkillers!”When Evan heard this, he held my hand again. “Anya, I am sorry. I won’t force you anymore. If there is anything,
Anya’s POV:I didn’t reply. Due to the anesthetic, I was in a daze. I turned over slightly and continued sleeping.At 6:00 PM, Miranda came to deliver dinner with one servant.Jason, Jerry, and Flora all followed.As soon as the three children entered the ward, they couldn’t help but ask, “Mommy, do you have a baby?”I looked at my children and hesitated.The three little fellows didn’t know that I had experienced the moment of life and death when I jumped off the house today. They thought that it was only because I was pregnant that I was hospitalized.Of course, it was also because Evan ordered not to let anyone tell the children that I had jumped today.“Mommy, can I look at your belly?”“Is Mommy going to give birth to a little sister or brother again?”Evan replied on my behalf. “That’s right! Are you happy?”“Yes, if Mommy gives birth to a baby, will she still love us?”“Silly, of course!”Jason grinned, “I want a little sister.”Jerry chimed in, “I want a sister, too!”“Mommy,
Evan’s POV:What a surprise.I had wanted to have another child, but Anya refused. The last time Anya accidentally miscarried made me feel heartbroken.It was great that she is finally pregnant again.In the ward, I could not contain my joy. “Anya, are you awake?”Anya was lying on the hospital bed. Her calf was already injured, and she was a little out of her wits.I have forgotten about the conflict and argument just now. I excitedly shook Anya’s arm, “Anya, I have some good news for you.”Anya’s face was numb.I continued, “The doctor said that you are pregnant? We are having another baby.”Anya’s POV:When I heard this, my eyelids dropped slightly, but I still didn’t reply.The child came at the wrong time. I didn’t want to give birth to his child again.Evan buried his head in my belly, sticking close to this unborn child. “Anya, are you happy?”“I hope this child is a girl so Flora can have company. However, it doesn’t matter if we have a boy. Anywhere, the more, the better. Aft
Anya’s POV:I was still in a mental breakdown. What Evan said was completely unbelievable.After a few seconds, the blackout in her head dissipated. “Evan, don’t force me. I want to leave this place. Let me go. If you don’t let me leave this place, I will die now!”“Anya, don’t be rash. Think about the children. Can you bear to leave the children? If you die, what will happen to the children? Can you bear to see them without a mother?”I was stunned and calmed down.If I die, the children will certainly be very sad.However, if I stayed here, I would certainly die.“Evan, I want a car. Let me go. I am leaving now. Give me a password and identification…”“Anya, don’t push your luck!”Evan subconsciously took another step forward.Seeing him move, I panicked even more. “Don’t come over. Don’t come over!”My emotions turned increasingly unstable, and my hoarse roar made me black out and fall out.“Ah!!”Evan’s POV:“Anya…” I cried out in surprise. I rushed forward and grabbed the handrai
Anya’s POV:Footsteps sounded outside the door.My heart tightened. Evan seems to be back. I will hang up first.”As I spoke, I hurriedly hung up the phone.At the same time, the door was kicked open.Evan walked in with a gloomy expression. “Anya, who are you talking to?”“No, no one.”“No one?” Evan’s eyes were filled with a sense of murder.“Give me your phone.”“I really didn’t…” Fear appeared in my eyes.Evan sneered and snatched my phone away.Evan’s POV:In the past month, I deliberately didn’t confiscate her phone to see if she could contact Kester.Of course, Anya’s phone had already been installed with this listening system. I would know if she called anyone.After reading the call log, I smile sinisterly. “Didn’t you say you have nothing to do with Kester? Why are you calling him now? Do you want him to save you?”Anya’s POV:Seeing this I retreated in fear.Looking at the fur in his eyes, I trembled.In the past month, my depression had relapsed again. I was struggling and
Anya’s POV:I know that he loved to speak in reverse.He was just provoking me by saying all of this.If I did, as he said, he might end up kidding me.“I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear me?” Having lost patience, he grabbed my collar, lifting me.I lifted my eyelids slightly, looking at him with exhaustion and indifference.“Evan, I am really tired. Can you just let me go?”Evan’s POV:My heart skipped a beat while my brows furrowed immensely.Meanwhile, my heart aches as well.I was not a narrow minded man, but when it comes to ambiguous relationship between Kester and Anya, I offered no room for tolerance.I couldn’t bear the thought of her having another man in her art, even if it was just a small fraction.Her beautiful eyes were now filled with endless sadness. “Evan, let’s let go of each other. I don’t want anything anymore, and I just want a little freedom. Please let me go. I am willing to give up everything, including the Walter group.”As her last sentence trailed off wear
Evan’s POV:Anya kept her eyes shut, allowing me to shake her,However, her response drove me to the brink of madness.She was like a flexible knife, seemingly harmless but capable of inflicting significant harm.She excelled at the silent treatment and disliked arguing with me.It seemed to me that no matter how angry or violent I became, she would retaliate in the gentlest yet most devastating way.It always drove me to the brink of madness, making me want to conquer her in bed.Anya’s POV:In the next few days, I continued suffering from high temperatures.Because of that, Evan, perhaps carrying a hint of humanity, did not punish me further.Besides, he had to go to M city to manage the Green Bay construction project, so he didn’t spend much time in X city.In other words, I had narrowly avoided a disaster.After five days of recuperation, my body had recovered to some extent. Although the fever had subsided, I felt mentally exhausted.However, there was no way for me to leave.She
Evan’s POV:After a brief pause, I made a decision to let the children in, knowing that they had a special place in Anya heart and hoping that they could persuade her.Without hesitation, I walked to the door and let the children in.“Mommy, what happened to you?” Jason and Jerry were taken back to see Anya’s literature appearance as soon as they entered.Flora also said anxiously, “Mommy, are you feeling unwell?”“Mm!” Anya weekly lifted her gaze towards the children.“Did you to have another fight?” The three children quietly asked as they sensed that something was wrong.Flora pouted, looking pitiful as she looked at me. “Daddy, can’t you please stop fighting with Mommy? We don’t want you to fight again…”Upon hearing that I instantly put on a loving and gentle smile, “You guys are good kids. Well, Daddy and Mommy didn’t have a fight. You are over thinking it.”“Really?” The three little fellows were skeptical.“Of course. Daddy and Mommy will never fight. We are most loving couple
Evan’s POV:It was five o’clock in the afternoonI could not concentrate at work because I was worried that Anya would do something unpredictable again. Thus, as soon as it struck five, I left the office and headed home early.“Good evening, Mr. Carter,” the servants greeted in unison.I walked into the house with a gloomy expression.Miranda was waiting in the living room. When I saw her, I asked with a long face. “Miranda, how is Anya doing?”Miranda wore a mournful face as she replied sadly, “Anya has been in the room and just has not come out yet.”I frowned after hearing that, “She didn’t came out for the entire day.”“That’s right!”“Has she eaten anything?” My brows furrowed even more now.I was very worried because when Anya, a stubborn woman in my eyes, got angry, she would torment herself like crazy. Although I was mad at her, I had no intention of breaking ties with her completely.I wished she were smarter and capable of coaxing him a little more. I also longed for her to
