Larissa turned around and put her hand on her chest in shock.Even when surrounded by pirates on her solo mercenary mission, she had never felt such fear!"M-Mister?" Larissa said carefully.Ambrose stared at her, his gaze lightly flickering.Larissa thought he looked even more handsome in that state—but that wasn't the point!She wiped the drool off her face, remembering she was in a dangerous situation.For some odd reason, Ambrose held her chin. He frowned and said, "Go get your face cleaned."Ambrose felt awkward looking at Larissa when she was disguised as Skye."Okay!" Larissa immediately chirped.She hurriedly got out of the car and ran back to their room.After slamming the bathroom door shut, Larissa tried to calm her pounding heart.She wasn't sure why she was feeling guilty.Larissa had taken a hangover pill before they started to drink; she also performed acupuncture on herself to release the alcohol from her body.If she didn't intend to get drunk, nobody coul
Larissa decided to revisit Carter Hospital.On her last trip, she had only searched Kennedy's office. This time, she planned to search Saul's office.Again, she disguised herself as Skye and went to Carter Hospital."Excuse me, do you know where Dr. Kirk is?" a little girl asked as she tipped her toes. She could barely reach the counter at the nurse's station.The nurse seated by the station pointed in a random direction; she hadn't even bothered to speak."Thank you, miss."The little girl turned around and tugged on her father."Daddy, that way."The father smiled at the little girl, but he was confused.Because of the sheer size of the hospital, there were several exits in the direction the nurse had pointed. They couldn't tell which way they should be going.The little girl asked another busy passerby, only to be given a vague answer."Miss, do you know where Dr. Kirk is?" the little girl asked as she looked up at Larissa.Larissa replied, "I was just going in that dire
Suddenly, a nurse rushed in."Bad news! The patient with the heart attack is experiencing increased pulmonary artery pressure. The patient is in danger!"Kirk gloated, "I knew it, you're just a little girl. Do you think anyone can be a surgeon? If the patient dies because of you, you're bound to be imprisoned!"Larissa looked at Kirk as if he were an idiot.Then, she said calmly to the nurse, "Inject 20 ml of magnesium sulfate."The nurse looked at Kirk. "Dr. Kirk?"Kirk crossed his arms and mocked, "Why are you looking at me? The surgeon is in charge. It has nothing to do with me!"The nurse grudgingly ran off to inject the patient with the solution."The patient's seizure has stopped, and his pressure levels have been restored. He is no longer in a critical state!"Kirk's eyes widened in shock. "What?"Larissa raised her brows at him."The patient has a weak body, so he just had an electrolyte imbalance after the surgery. It's a rare occurrence, so it must be something new
When Savannah saw that, her eyes widened in shock.She had always been vain, and she was familiar with luxury brands.But even if Madison doted on her, she could never buy Savannah a watch that was worth over ten million dollars."That must be a fake watch. She must've bought a high-quality replica off the internet!" Savannah snarled.Skye was mistreated in the Carter family, so there was no way she could have the money for luxurious watches. Savannah was confident that it was a counterfeit watch.They had projected the computer screen onto the television, so they could see the live chat flood in when Larissa appeared on screen."Oh my god, is that Skye Carter? She's gorgeous!""Look at that dress! I need to know what brand it's from!""I'm an editor at a fashion magazine. The fabric of her dress was soaked in the most expensive freshwater pearl powder from May's Pearl Farm, which is why it has a beautiful glow."It's a limited edition dress, priced at over six digits.""Her
The virtual simulator was a new invention by the Starlight Group.It could perfectly recreate a surgery scenario through 5D projection.Larissa entered the virtual operating room."We will now begin the simulation of a coronary artery bypass grafting and blunt cardiac recovery surgery. This was the surgery that I operated on the patient."After she finished, she commenced the surgery swiftly and smoothly.Larissa had intended to show off her skills and the simulator device. So, every move was made to look sleek.Savannah looked at everyone around her. Everyone's attention was on Skye! If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have mentioned the livestream.Savannah regretted not waiting. She could've waited until Skye's surgery failed to gloat over it.But now, Skye got all the attention.Suddenly, an idea came to Savannah, and she purposefully talked about it."Why is Skye dressed so nicely today? It reminds me of the rumors that had been circulating in the hospital."Rumor ha
A homeless man accidentally got his pinky finger sliced off when he was scavenging.He had no family nor money, and neither was there anyone to send him to the hospital.When Zayn heard about it, he immediately sent people to locate the homeless man.Larissa frowned and asked, "A severed finger? I will have to see the condition of the finger."Zayn handed her the severed finger wrapped in napkins."We barely found it."Larissa looked at the cut on the finger. She immediately said, "I can reattach it. Prepare for surgery immediately."The livestream was still ongoing.Many people had left after watching the heart surgery, so there were fewer viewers. But those who stayed in the stream were excited to see what happened."I didn't expect we'd get an easter egg. This time, it's not a virtual surgery, but a real one!"The viewer count in the livestream began to skyrocket, and the live chat began to flood in once more."Holy, she's going to do it for real?""Reattaching a severed
Madison and Savannah waited outside the prison since early in the morning.The cold winter wind blew hard, and they were freezing."Mom, did you tell Skye the time? Why isn't she coming? I'm freezing!" Savannah whined.Madison stomped and said angrily, "I'll give her another call!"She made a call, but it got hung up."Skye Carter, this little bitch! How dare she hang up on me? When she comes, I'm going to teach her a lesson!""Teach me what?"Larissa slowly approached them, yawning.She wore a black down jacket and a pair of form-fitting pants that accentuated her long and slender legs.She also had a white, fluffy scarf that made her look youthful and adorable.Her hair was put up in a bun, as usual, and she had light makeup on.Larissa yawned and teared up, which made her look even more adorable!As Savannah checked out Larissa's outfit, she was jealous.She wondered where Larissa bought her clothes from. They looked good, but Savannah had never seen them before!Madis
Madison hurriedly intervened, "Darling, don't beat your daughter. Savannah isn't at fault for the investors' withdrawal!""If it's not her fault, whose fault is it?"Saul looked furious. He snarled, "I was detained for so long. Instead of trying to rescue me, you enjoyed yourself and spent extravagantly. How ungrateful of you!"The visitation room was in chaos.Larissa happily crossed her legs and started to snack on some peanuts that she had taken from Vincent's snack pile.Vincent would hide snacks like a little hamster. Larissa confiscated each of those snacks that she'd found and later had them for herself!Vincent was used to his mother's way of doing things, of course.Saul, Madison, and Savannah fell into a heated argument, but they heard chewing noises from time to time.They stopped and looked over. To their disbelief, they found Skye snacking away when they were arguing!"Skye Carter, what are you doing?" Saul was furious."Enjoying my peanuts? I can't share them, t
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
