Thrown off balance, Larissa tumbled onto the couch along with Ambrose.She instinctively reached for his hand when suddenly a tearing sound was heard. The sleeve of Ambrose's shirt was ripped open.The both of them froze and their eyes locked.Larissa took a moment before she realized how ambiguous their position was.Her face instantly reddened as she rushed to scramble off Ambrose.She swiftly tidied herself up, straightening her disheveled clothes.Ambrose, on the other hand, appeared calm. But as he got up from the coach, a slight blush could be seen on his cheeks.To cover up the awkwardness, he passed the Coke to Larissa. "Take it."Larissa blushed and took the Coke from him.She decided that from today onwards, there would be no more Coke for her!Owen knocked on the door."Come in," Ambrose said.Owen really didn't want to intrude at a time like this.But upon the sight of Ambrose's torn shirt, his eyes instantly gleamed with excitement.Noticing the look on Owen'
"This gold dragon looks so realistic! The craftsmanship is on par with world-class artisans!""This shirt perfectly complements Mr. Hamilton!"Ambrose gently grazed his fingers over the gold dragon, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.The employees exchanged surprised glances; they were utterly taken aback.Ambrose, who was known for his icy demeanor, was actually smiling.And he was smiling so happily at that!So it seemed like the widespread rumor about Ambrose piggybacking Larissa on a stroll was indeed true!A love-struck Ambrose was like a completely different person!For the rest of the day, whenever Ambrose crossed paths with anyone, he would extend his arm and casually reveal his sleeve.At other moments, he would unintentionally raise his arm to adjust his sleeve, casually showing off the gold dragon to everyone around.Furthermore, Owen had very "discreetly" revealed that Larissa had asked him for a sewing kit. She had very kindly mended Ambrose's shirt.Very s
Deadly love …A bone-chilling look flickered in Ambrose's eyes.The Twilight Group's scrutiny was becoming increasingly frequent.Joshua sighed and said, "The poison has flowed into your bloodstream through the wound and has now reached your central nervous system."While an antidote can control the poison's effects, it cannot eliminate it completely."Joshua paused and said in a serious tone, "Ambrose, we don't know what will happen next."Ambrose frowned deeply. The Deadly Love?"Larissa has extraordinary medical skills, so why not let her take a look …"Before Joshua could even finish his sentence, Ambrose immediately rejected his suggestion."No. I don't want to drag her into this."Joshua fell silent. He then warned, "You've been poisoned by the Deady Love once before. This is your second time, so the toxins will be much more aggressive than before."I'm afraid that in just a few hours, its effects will kick in. So you better be prepared."Ambrose asked, "How much anti
Ambrose lowered his head and gently kissed Larissa's lips.He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Wait for me."The next day morning, Larissa woke up, rubbing her head in a daze.She seemed to be exceptionally tired last night.Larissa reached out and felt the empty spot beside her. She suddenly remembered that Ambrose had told her he would be heading out last night.Instantly, she was wide awake.With Ambrose gone, Larissa's heart felt somewhat empty.She quickly freshened up and headed downstairs for breakfast, only to discover that Charles had gone on vacation. Joshua was nowhere to be found, too.She was the only one seated in the empty dining room.The long dining table was filled with a variety of exquisite dishes. Yet Larissa suddenly felt as if even the most delicious food had lost its appeal."Madam, is today's breakfast not up to your liking?" Tony asked with concern."What time did Ambrose leave?""Mr. Hamilton left at midnight.""Midnight?"Larissa found it extre
Just as the simulated figure's fist was about to descend onto Larissa, the lights suddenly turned on. The simulated figures disappeared.Larissa plopped onto the ground, putting a hand over her pounding chest."That scared me!"She panted heavily as she took off the simulation device.Then, Larissa was stunned.In front of her stood an adorable-looking little boy.He looked to be about three years old and was currently looking down at her from above.Upon seeing his adorable little face, Larissa's heart dropped to her stomach.She lifted her hand and pointed shakily at him, "You …"Ambrose pursed his lips tightly and looked at her with a complicated expression.Larissa shot up from the ground and exclaimed, "You're not Ambrose's illegitimate son, right?"At that moment, Larissa's imagination ran wild.She imagined a scenario where Ambrose had cheated on her and had a child with some other woman.This woman tragically passed away during childbirth, and Larissa had become th
"You're sick. I need to bring down your temperature!"Ivan saw her return in a rush with a child."Madam, where did this child come from?" Larissa quickly replied, "Uncle Ivan, Ross is having a fever. Help me to get a basin of water, some ice cubes, and a clean towel!"Ivan, stunned, asked, "Madam, who is this?" "He is Ambrose's cousin, Ross!"Ivan's face had confusion written all over.He pondered, "Mr. Hamilton did have a cousin, but wasn't he supposed to be abroad? When did he come back?"Larissa saw Ivan stand still."What are you waiting for? Hurry up!""Right away. I'll get it!" Ivan hurriedly replied before quickly bringing the items requested. At the same time, Max had gotten home. Seeing the shrunken Ambrose's unconscious pale face, Max's face changed. He took a huge step and rushed forward to snatch him away. "Max, what are you doing?"Larissa blocked his way, not letting Max go nearer to Ambrose. Max's face turned ashen."Get out of the way!"Larissa
Ambrose in an absent-minded state let Larissa stroke and patted his head as she pleased. He hypnotized himself."I'm Ross Hamilton. Not Ambrose."Larissa, satisfied with her actions, asked, "Ross, what were you thinking just now?"Ambrose answered with a blank expression, "I want a bath."Larissa volunteered, "Let me help you!"Before Ambrose could respond, Larissa already carried him to the bathroom. She was so eager to help that she quickly took off his clothes. Ambrose, caught by surprise, tightly gripped his pants.His face turned bright red and he exclaimed in a fluster, "What are you doing?"Larissa blinked innocently."I'm helping you to take a bath. Don't you need to take off your clothes for that?""I don't need your help. I can do it myself."Ambrose's face became fiery red. "Don't be shy. You're just a three-year-old boy. Just a baby! Don't worry. I can take good care of you. When I was in the orphanage, I was the one who took care of my friends," Larissa assur
"Larissa?""Uncle Josh, I need to ask you about Ross.""Who are you talking about? Ross?""That's right. Ambrose's cousin, Ross. His fever kept coming back. I can't figure out what's wrong with him. I wanted to send him to the hospital but Max kept saying the hospital can't treat him. What is he suffering from? Don't his parents care about him?"On the other end, a strange and eerie silence. Larissa thought it might be due to the poor signal or the line got cut off. She took the phone down and double-checked it.After confirming he was still at the other end, she said, "Uncle Josh, are you listening?""Larissa, please help to take care of Ross for now. I'll explain to you when I come back." "But …""I left some medicine for Ross. If he gets unwell, feed him the medicine.""Uncle Josh? Hello? Hello?"It was unclear whether Joshua hung up or if the call had been interrupted due to poor signal. She became more confused after the call. Looks like Joshua was evasive about Ross's
Ambrose faced his back to Larissa.She tried to conceal her grievance and anger, shouting, "Aren't you leaving? Leave then!"He kept his back to her, not daring to turn around.Despite her efforts to suppress her emotions, he detected a touch of grief in her voice.Ambrose was frightened of turning around and seeing her tears.As long as he saw those eyes, he would be unable to resist the temptation to be selfish once again, to stay by her side at all costs.He gradually tightened his gloved hands.No. He couldn't be so selfish. He had become a monster, unworthy of her!He wanted to escape, hide, and not let Larissa see his monster appearance. However, he couldn't move at all. His feet stubbornly stayed in place, as if rooted.She walked up to him. She stared attentively at him for a moment before slowly reaching out to hold his hand.Just as her fingertips were about to touch his hand, Ambrose suddenly returned to his senses.Damn it! What was he doing? How could he let Lar
Max's treatment of external injuries was professional.He gently patted the wolf cub's head and said, "Bye."The wolf cub's eyes were full of gratitude. It looked at the humans deeply before running away without looking back.Larissa and her team continued to search for traces of the werewolf in Northernmost.However, they didn't find any useful clues. Max couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do you think there would be werewolves here?"She replied, "Although Jackie lied about the wolf cub, I believe he saw something real. No matter what, I'll find him, even if we have to turn Northernmost upside down!"On a mountain several miles away, a tall figure stood against the wind. He stood firm amidst the snowy landscape like a sturdy tree.The wolf cub approached him and affectionately rubbed against his trousers. He lowered his head, giving it a faint glance. "Little fool, don't get caught in human traps again."His tone was stern, with a hint of teaching. The wolf cub lowered its head i
There were no cameras in the hotel room, but there were in the corridor.In a fleeting moment, Larissa finally noticed something wrong.She rewinded the video and played it back slowly several times. Finally, she confirmed what she had seen.She slumped into the chair, completely lost.She knew that something must have happened to Ambrose.Although the footage got grainy right away, Larissa still saw it—Ambrose's hand had undergone some sort of transformation.What on earth had happened? She must find him as soon as possible!Everything was fine last night. Ambrose set off fireworks for her and even used drones to write his vow in the sky.He had done so many romantic things for her. Why did he change overnight? What was wrong with his hand?Larissa's mind was in chaos, unable to make sense of anything. After thinking for a moment, she called Max."Max, send a ship to pick me up... No, send me a helicopter. I have to go back right away."After returning, she immediately aske
Ambrose's pupils shrank.His right hand had completely transformed into the shape of a wolf claw.The mutation continued to spread up his arm, resulting in a thick layer of wolf fur.Dawn was approaching. A faint light shone on the horizon. The distant sea was tumultuous with no end in sight.Ambrose stood on the balcony, his black hair fluttering in the sea breeze.He cautiously lifted his right hand. At this moment, his hand could no longer be called a hand.From his fingertips to his arm, it had fully transformed into a wolf's paw. Even more terrifyingly, the mutation was still spreading toward his shoulder.His time was running out.Ambrose stared at his right hand intently for a long time. Until the cold air covered his long eyelashes with a layer of frost, he put on his gloves again, hiding the mutated hand.He returned to the bedroom, where Larissa remained asleep. She appeared to be having a beautiful dream, smiling as she slept.Ambrose sat down by the bed, gazing at
Larissa didn't notice Ambrose's abnormality. She thought he was preparing a surprise for her."Then hurry up, Mister!" She tiptoed and kissed his face before running out with a smile.His gentle smile disappeared after she left.Ambrose stared at his mutated right hand, his expression gradually darkening.He didn't want to appear so hideous in front of Larissa. So, he put on a pair of black gloves, intending to hide it from her.Larissa waited outside, kicking the ground with boredom. After a while, Ambrose came out."Mister!" Larissa dashed for him like a lively bird.He hugged her as he had done countless times before. She hooked her arm around his, and they walked out together.When the restaurant doors slowly opened, Larissa noticed the pink rose petals scattered all over the floor.It was so beautiful!It was evident that Ambrose attached great importance to their wedding anniversary tonight.She stared at his strikingly gorgeous profile. He turned and showed her a doti
A week later, Birdie awoke.She burst into tears upon seeing Larissa. "Ms. Larissa, those people beat me so badly! I thought I'd never see you again!"Larissa tenderly hugged Birdie and patted her back to comfort her. "It's fine now. Don't be afraid. I've already avenged you."Vincent stood nearby. He tightly pursed his lips, believing that the punishments meted out to those people were too light.After Birdie had stopped crying, she looked at him and asked, "Vince, why are you still so short?"He felt like he'd been struck by lightning.Birdie was a year older than Vincent. Girls at this age tended to be taller than boys, causing Vincent to be a head shorter than Birdie.He pursed his lips and quietly put away the small cakes he had prepared for her. It took him a lot of effort to snatch it from Victor.Even if he gave it back to Victor, he wouldn't give it to the ungrateful Birdie!Larissa could tell Vincent's thoughts and nearly came out laughing. She barely managed to hold
Larissa observed Fernando, feeling increasingly familiar with his appearance."Hmm... aren't you the guy who owes me a hundred thousand dollars in medical expenses? Have your injuries healed?"It was simple for a person to leave a lasting impression on her. He only needed to owe her money.When Fernando heard the familiar voice, he finally confirmed she was the one who saved him."It's me. I'm really sorry..."He didn't hide anything and confessed all of his wrongdoings. After speaking, he nervously waited.Larissa might criticize him harshly, hit him, or even trample on his dignity as Nayla did. Everything was his fault. He was willing to face the consequences.But...She pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "You're quite skilled, huh?""Uh..." Fernando didn't expect her to ask such a question out of the blue. He paused for a moment before nodding.Larissa waved. "Join the Hamiltons as a bodyguard then! If you perform well during the three-year testing period, we'll pro
As the Daltons' men surrounded Max, Nayla managed to flee."Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and glanced at Fernando. "Since you didn't join Nayla in harming Ms. Zoey, I'll let you go. You may leave!"However, Fernando didn't do so. He seemed to have made a certain determination and bent toward Max. "Please allow me to stay by Ms. Zoey's side. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life protecting her."Max squinted. "Do you think I'll still believe you?"Fernando remained bent over. It was a posture of persistence rather than reverence. "I won't give up even if you disagree.""Whatever!" Max turned around indifferently and led the Hamiltons' guards away.Fernando soon straightened up. He appeared resolute. Even if Max barred him from entering the Hamilton residence again, he would silently protect Zoey....Nayla stitched up her face at the Dalton residence, her hands trembling violently."Damn it!" She let out a shrill roar and hurled the needle holder violently to the ground.H
Fernando became more certain of the truth when he saw Nayla's panicked expression."Do you want me to believe you? Then show me how you used the silver needles to save me.""I—" Nayla bit her lip tightly. "You hurt me, Fernando. Have you forgotten that I saved your life? You promised to repay me. How could you doubt me?"He returned to his former coldness and stepped closer to her."You're not the one I owe gratitude to. When I was severely injured and unconscious, I couldn't see who had saved me. I'd even forgotten her voice. Fortunately, I've recalled it. Or I'd have no idea how much longer you'd deceive me!"During this period, the humiliations he had endured from Nayla were vivid and echoed in his mind.He had also doubted how a kind woman who would help a stranger could become so cruel.Nayla explained that her parents had abandoned her since birth. Larissa had also caused the death of her grandmother, who had raised her.After returning to her biological family, Larissa r
