"Stop... I can't breathe, Harry."

Harry's muscular arm, with bulging veins, tightly grasped Emma's neck, easily lifting her entire body. His eyes resembled a lost demon, growling as he spoke to her, "Quickly, bring more drugs here!"

Emma struggled, clawing fiercely at his hand, but he seemed impervious to pain. She gasped, weakly pleading with every breath, "Please, Harry... Wake up!"

Emma's legs kicked wildly in the air. Her gaze focused on the bedside lamp, and she cleverly knocked it down to the floor, creating a loud noise.

In less than a minute, the door suddenly opened. Vincent quickly ran over and pulled Harry's hand away, "What are you doing? Let go!"

It took three or four guards working together to restrain Harry. His eyes turned a fierce red, his face pale, and he continuously growled in a menacing manner.

Emma clutched her throat in pain. Her chest ached as she witnessed Harry's current state.

With a stinging sensation in her nose, she held back tears and turned to Vincent,

    At Vincent's mansion."Emma... Emma..." A hoarse and feeble voice echoed.Sweat covered Harry's forehead. He squinted his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled continuously. Alone in the cold space, he lay on the bed, tossing and turning but unable to wake up. It seemed like his mind was engulfed by a terrible nightmare.Just as Vincent opened the door and saw Harry's strange condition, thinking the drug addiction had flared up, he immediately locked Harry's hands with a pair of cuffs.Harry struggled for a while before sitting up, his eyes wide open, shouting loudly, "Emma!"Looking down at his handcuffed hands, he breathed heavily, turning to Vincent with a bewildered expression, "Emma... Where is she? You are...""I'm Vincent, don't you recognize me?" Vincent waved his hand in front of Harry and asked suspiciously. He placed a glass of water on the table and then touched Harry's forehead to check his body temperature."Even if I were stupid, I would still recognize your hateful face.""

    "If you dare take one more step, I'll shoot and blow your head off," echoed the cold voice of a mafia member from behind Harry.Emma's heart skipped a beat. Her face instantly paled, and she exclaimed, "Who dares to touch him? I won't allow it!"With that, she fiercely bit down on Manuel's shoulder, causing him to emit a slight groan.Tilting his head, looking at Emma, Manuel slowly set her down and chuckled, "Feisty woman, do you need to be so passionately protective?"Emma glared at him and was about to run towards Harry when Manuel tightly grabbed her wrist. Her entire body was now within his strong embrace. One hand lifted Emma's delicate chin, and the other waved a greeting towards Harry."Brother, do we know each other? It's a bit impolite of you to intrude on our private space so early in the morning.""Release her quickly. I came here to take her back."Harry's voice remained cold and stern, as usual, but his slightly pallid complexion couldn't hide the fact that he was unwell

    "Thank goodness, you've finally woken up."Emma sat for hours by the hospital bed, tightly holding Harry's large hand, waiting for him to wake up. Finally, the man who had been asleep for two whole days regained consciousness.After Vincent found the antidote for Harry, he informed Brian of this news. Immediately after, Brian and Christine flew to Italy.The three of them, exhausted, napped on the sofa but were quickly awakened and approached the hospital bed. Christine gently rubbed Emma's petite shoulders, leaning down to wipe away the tears streaming down her face."You guys..." Harry struggled to open his heavy eyes, observing his friends standing around.Emma hurriedly leaned closer to him, placing her hand on his forehead to check his temperature once again, anxiously asking, "Are you feeling better? Any pain anywhere? Is the antidote working?""Emma, calm down. Dr. Carter examined and confirmed negative results. He'll recover quickly since he's in good health," Brian calmly sta

    "Mommy, save me. I don't know this man."Charlie quickly escaped from Manuel's strong embrace and ran to hug Emma. The little boy furrowed his brow, looking at this tall man, placed one hand on his hip, and pouted."I just came out of class, and this man immediately took me. I was about to call the police, and then Mom, you came."Manuel hesitated, raising his hand to touch the side of his face that had just been slapped. It seemed like he could still feel the force of her hand concentrated on his face. His deep-sea blue eyes widened in surprise, his lips trembling a few times without being able to utter a word.At this moment, Emma began to feel frightened. She hid Charlie behind her, straightened her chest to face him."I... I'm sorry." She stammered for a moment, then coughed softly to adjust her voice. "Charlie was almost kidnapped recently, so I was so panicked that I lost control."Manuel's mouth curved into a faint, ironic smile. He stared directly into Emma's eyes, which clear

    "Absolutely not. There must be some mistake here."Emma stood up abruptly, slamming the test results onto the table. She pointed at the paper, one hand leaning heavily on the table, and raised her voice in an angry interrogation of the young doctor, "Are you sure you haven't mixed up someone else's results?""Madam, I assure you these results are completely accurate. The paper even has the names of this gentleman and the child written on it.""Immediately retest for me." Harry gritted his teeth as he spoke. He leaned both hands on the table, his gaze like bullets putting pressure on the young doctor.The doctor, trembling, held up the paper and looked through it hesitantly, stammering, "You can request a retest, but it's after office hours now, and the DNA testing lab won't be operational. You can come back tomorrow to receive the results.""Fine, no need for a retest. We accept these results."Only now did Manuel speak up in his calm and composed voice. A faint glint appeared in his c

    At the hospital."Did Manuel take away the test results? Wasn't the appointment for this afternoon?"Emma was frustrated with the hospital's way of doing things. She crossed her arms over her chest, took a deep breath to regain her composure, then tilted her head to look at Harry.His mood was calm again as he reached out to embrace her shoulders, pulling her close, and gently smiled at the doctor, "How are the test results? Surely, you must have recorded them on the computer?"Emma's delicately arched eyebrows twitched. She shifted away from him, giving him a stern look. Simultaneously, he leaned down to kiss her on the lips, giving her a playful wink and holding her tighter."I couldn't find any relevant records. It seems the doctor who conducted that test didn't document the results.""What? You guys are so irresponsible. First, there's a mistake in the test, and now you've lost the result notification for the patient..."The young female doctor in front of Emma looked a bit fluste

    "You've gone mad! The police have sealed off the landslide area; they'll quickly rescue anyone in distress. Stay put here for me!" Manuel commanded in a cold tone.He firmly held Emma's hands to prevent her from running forward."Let me go. I just came to check the situation. Harry and Charlie both went in that direction; they might have found a safe place," Emma protested."Stay here for me!" he repeated.Suddenly, his gaze focused on a black car passing on the other side of the mountain slope. A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he pressed Emma down under the seat.Uncomfortable with his rough actions, Emma raised her voice, "What are you doing? You still haven't answered me about why you're here. I'll go wherever I want.""Listen to me; you must not leave this area. Everything that happens after this must follow the police's arrangements."

    "Boss, Madam said you're exploiting her labor. She wants to resign.""Resign? I disagree." Harry wore his gold-rimmed glasses, focused on the stack of documents on the table. His hand continuously signed contracts that his company had recently won.As soon as he raised his head, it seemed like the sunlight of the summer sun could compare to his handsome face, "Has she not realized her mistake yet?"Observing Harry's calm expression, Martin silently chuckled. In front of others, Harry could maintain the cold and arrogant facade; however, facing his wife, could he keep up such composure?"What are you laughing at?" Harry glared at Martin, noticing his suppressed laughter."Boss, this time, Madam wants to resign as your wife. Besides working and taking care of Charlie, she claims constantly comforting you is too exhausting as a wife.""Impossible!" The deep hoarse voice suddenly raised its pitch.As soon as Martin finished speaking, Harry slammed the table, losing the calm demeanor he ha

    The sun was just rising. Soft light poured into the room, illuminating a couple cuddling affectionately in bed.“Good morning, baby.”“Morning.”Emma rubbed her eyes, gave Harry a peck on the lips, and stretched her body.Suddenly, Harry's large hand reached around Emma's bare waist. The contact of their skin gave Emma a cool sensation, and she let out a soft moan."What time is it? We need to take Charlie to school..." Her sweet voice still had a hint of huskiness as she pushed Harry's chest away and reached for her phone.However, Harry remained firm, holding onto her waist tightly. He bent down to kiss the white nape of her neck, his cool lips gliding over her soft skin as he inhaled her fragrance.“The school is right across the street. He can go to school on his own..."“Come on, Charlie's going to sulk again. I can't comfort him anymore..." She laughed, then ran her hands through his hair, tilted her head up and gently kissed his throat.“Ah…”Harry used one hand to push her hea

    "Want a smoke?""No, she doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."Harry shook his head in refusal, pushing the offered cigarette from Charles a bit away with his index finger.Charles stored the pack of cigarettes inside his vest pocket, casually leaned back against the car, and took a deep drag. He lifted his head to gaze at the pitch-black sky, devoid of moon and stars, remaining silent as time passed without uttering a word.Harry crossed his arms over his chest. The waft of cigarette smoke in the air made him slightly furrow his brow, his deep voice resonating, "If you've got something to say, say it out. I still need to get back to deal with some work at the company.""The first time I met her was in a corner of the university campus. I was facing off against a group of troublemaker students to protect a stray cat, and she came running, cursing them straight to their faces to defend me."Harry's expression stiffened suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a complex emotion

    In the capital city."Do you dare to show up at my doorstep?!" The fierce roaring voice carried immense anger, shaking the entire small villa.Mr. Garcia brandished a broom, driving Harry out towards the main gate. His chest heaved with rage, and he thrust the broom without mercy at Harry, but luckily he still avoided it.Pointing his finger directly at Harry's face, Mr. Garcia patted his chest to calm his breathing and said, "Get out of my sight quickly. Do you think bringing gifts to please me, I will allow you to be with my daughter?”The front door slammed shut, leaving Harry standing there looking pitiful and helpless.It seemed that the real difficulty had just arrived.A few hours earlier."Do you think this suit looks okay on me? Handsome enough? Does an all-black look from head to toe make me too scary?"Harry continuously adjusted his hairstyle while looking in the mirror. He then turned around for Emma and Charlie to admire. He nervously straightened the edges of his vest a
