Galileo had set out immediately after receiving Larissa's SOS signal.Rachel was concerned about his health, so she came along.And somehow, Duke Eaton found out and wanted to tag along.Zayn and Finn had wanted to come along, too, but Rachel told them to stay at Sisilia Island.If anything had gone wrong, they could still take care of things over there.Ambrose had no idea that he was in deep trouble.…After Vincent installed the last part and tightened the screws, he pressed the power button.As he watched on nervously, the blue light on MAVIS' head lit up."Young master, I can finally see you now! I'm so emotional that I might cry!"Vincent felt speechless. He pointed at the motor oil.MAVIS understood him immediately."Are you saying that I'm a robot, and I do not have tears, only motor oil?"Vincent gazed at it approvingly."Where is Birdie?" Vincent asked by typing in MAVIS' interface.MAVIS answered, "When we jumped off the ship, I predicted that Birdie would be
Vincent's mouth opened in surprise.He thought Galileo really was the best. Even Ambrose had never carried Vincent on his shoulders!When Gabe had heard that Duke Eaton from Sisilia Island was visiting, he prepared a mansion in the suburbs for them to lodge in.He wanted to thank Larissa for curing Ava.Also, since the Isle of Hideon wasn't far from Sisilia Island, Gabe wanted to get on good terms with the Sisilian royalties.…Larissa knocked on Galileo's door before walking in."Gale, I found some Nightstems. They would help with your condition."Galileo glanced at the box in Larissa's hand.Suddenly, he said, "If I remember correctly, Nightstems can cure Vince, too. Isn't that so?"Larissa tightened her grip around the box.She put it down on the table and answered, "Yes. Vince's special ability went out of control. After overusing it, he hasn't been able to speak."Galileo pushed the box toward her."Give it to Vince first.""But …" Larissa said hesitantly, "your heal
Galileo hadn't expected Larissa to see his worst side.Larissa noticed Galileo's frustration, and she knew that he didn't want her to see him like this.So, Larissa didn't make a big deal out of his situation. Instead, she asked calmly, "Do you still feel like throwing up?"Galileo weakly shook his head."Let's get you outside."Larissa helped Galileo to his room and made him sit down. Then, she wiped away the blood on his lips."It's normal that you're coughing up blood. Since there is damage to the tumor's surface, you will cough up blood from time to time."When I get you treated, you won't cough up blood anymore."Galileo was aware of his health condition. Over the years, he had his good days and bad days.He also knew that Larissa had been trying her best to treat him. Otherwise, he would've died years ago.Larissa said, "My special ability developed. Now, I can see even smaller cells. With the special needles from Peacock Hall, I think I can try to treat you."In the p
After hearing Ambrose's explanation, Larissa finally had all her questions answered.Countless emotions welled up in her, but it all boiled down to one word."Oh."Ambrose's heart dropped. What did Larissa mean by that?Ambrose wondered if his explanation wasn't clear, hence Larissa wasn't willing to accept his apology.Ambrose hurriedly said, "Trust me, Larissa. I'm telling you the truth. I promised to never lie."Larissa nodded. "I believe in you."Ambrose felt delighted. He grabbed her hand and asked, "So you forgive me?"Larissa shook her head and said, "No."Ambrose was dumbfounded. "But you said that you believe in me."Larissa coldly pulled away."Believing and forgiving are two different things. I believe in your explanation, but that doesn't mean I forgive you."She looked at Galileo apologetically. "Just a moment, Gale. I'll be right back."Galileo looked at her assuringly.Perhaps on purpose, Galileo hadn't put his clothes on. Still topless, he picked up the bl
Both Vincent and MAVIS were confused.Vincent slowly blinked as he wondered what great plan Ambrose wanted to carry out.Ambrose patted Vincent on the head, then left.Vincent asked in confusion, "MAVIS, do you know what Bad Daddy is up to?"The light on MAVIS' head quickly blinked."Young master, according to my analysis, your father might carry out some weird acts that men would typically do after getting chased out of the house."In response, Vincent became even more confused.…Back in Galileo's room, Larissa took a few deep breaths to suppress the chaotic thoughts that Ambrose had caused.She couldn't afford to get distracted during Galileo's treatment."I'm sorry for the interruption, Gale. We can start now."Gale looked at Larissa, feeling conflicted."Larissa, you're not actually angry, are you? If you were angry, you wouldn't have apologized to Ambrose."Larissa paused slightly.Galileo silently sighed. "Larissa, we grew up together. I know you better than yourse
They couldn't believe their eyes. Ambrose had brought back a trolley full of gifts!Ambrose could be seen meticulously arranging the gifts neatly on the ground.Then, with a plop, he dropped to his knees!Vincent, Rachel, and Ava were left utterly stunned.Ava, who only cared about looks, exclaimed, "This man is so handsome!"Rachel gritted her teeth and sneered. "Hmph, he's only putting on a show now? It's too late for that!"Vincent sipped on his juice and said, "So this was what Bad Daddy was up to?"Considering how seriously Ambrose had spoken earlier, Vincent had expected him to do something as grand as saving the world!But it turned out to be just this?Ava gasped in shock. "This is Larissa's husband?"Along the way, Rachel had filled Ava in on everything that happened.She learned the reason why Larissa and Vincent were forced to jump into the sea and ended up on the Isle of Hideon was all because of Ambrose.Ava huffed. "Who would have thought that someone as hands
Hearing Ambrose speak with such sincerity, Duke Eaton's expression finally began to ease up."Are you really willing to get rid of the Twilight Group for Rissa?" Duke Eaton asked.Kneeling on the ground, Ambrose said with determination, "Larissa is so gentle and kind. It's my fault for making her sad."Forget the Twilight Group. Even if I have to give up my all, I'd gladly do it!"Ambrose didn't want to go through the pain of losing Larissa again. Even if it meant going against the world, so be it!"Hmph!" Duke Eaton sneered. "I hope you'll keep your word!"A glimmer flashed in Ambrose's eyes. He asked cautiously, "Does that mean you've forgiven me, Dad?""It doesn't matter if I forgive you or not. What's important is whether Rissa will forgive you!"With that, Duke Eaton turned around and left.Rachel huffed. Observing Duke Eaton's attitude, he was clearly more bark than bite.The door that had been tightly closed suddenly swung open.Larissa was immediately faced with a ma
Larissa cried out in frustration, "Daddy, how could you do this to your own daughter?"Duke Eaton felt a bit guilty and gave Larissa a reassuring look.Then, he turned toward Ambrose and said, "Ambrose, you're usually so occupied with work, you barely have time to be with Larissa. "Therefore, I hope you can stay at Sisilia Island for good. What do you think?"Duke Eaton's plan was for Ambrose to be a live-in son-in-law.Ambrose glanced at Vincent.His gaze made Vincent shudder uncomfortably. He quietly clung to Duke Eaton's leg."You're absolutely right, Dad. "I'll train Vincent well so that he can mature quickly and take over my business as the Hamilton Group's president."That way, I'll be able to remain by Larissa's side for good," Ambrose said with a smile.Vincent was dumbfounded.Ambrose was truly shameless! He had helped him so much earlier, yet he was now doing him dirty!Vincent dove into Duke Eaton's arms and cried, "Grandpa, I don't want to become president!"
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
