As Dan and Larissa spoke, a man dressed in a robe walked toward them. "Mr. Ferk, something isn't quite right with the layout of your house. It's an ominous sign, and Ms. Amanda's life may be in danger!"When Dan heard that, his expression darkened. "Are you serious, Dr. Jenkins?"He couldn't bother to host Larissa any longer. He apologized and left hurriedly with Harland Jenkins.Skye looked at Larissa in embarrassment."I knew Dan was superstitious, but I didn't expect him to be so gullible. It seems that he would rather believe in spirits than science. Larissa, should we leave?"Larissa thought it wasn't the time for her to go home yet. Otherwise, Charles would try to send her to the women's hospital again."Since we have time, let's follow them." Then, she stood up and walked away. Skye immediately followed suit.The group went to Amanda's room, and Larissa peeked inside.The last time Larissa saw Amanda, she was very lively. But in such a short time, Amanda was bedridden fr
"Given Amanda's distress, her emotional state wasn't optimal. If she secluded herself in her room, inhaling the toxic fumes daily could have accelerated the poisoning process."Larissa looked at Harland, who looked like he was in despair. She sneered. "Also, this fake doctor fed Amanda ash water—which contained harmful qualities that would enhance the Venomvine's poisonous properties. That worsened Amanda's condition, making her cough up blood."Thankfully, she only drank half of it. If she had finished the entire bowl of water, you can prepare the invitation soon."Larissa was referring to the funeral invitation, of course."You liar! You almost killed my daughter!" Dan was shocked.Dan grabbed Harland and slapped him. Feeling like it wasn't enough to take out his anger, he kicked Harland a few more times.Then, he begged Larissa as if she were his only hope. "Ms. Solace, it was my fault for not listening to your advice."Please save my daughter! I can do anything. Even if I ha
Skye dropped Larissa off at the Hamilton residence.When Larissa was about to get out of the car, Skye mustered the courage and said, "Larissa, I decided to shut down the hospital."Larissa almost tripped. Surprised, she asked, "Why?"Skye smiled bitterly and said, "Madison left with the hospital's liquid assets. It's so heavily in debt that it won't be possible to continue operating it."With Larissa's help, Skye managed to recover most of the equity and became the hospital director. But Madison took all the liquid assets, and the hospital's accounts were in shambles.Larissa asked, "Do you need my help?"Skye shook her head. "You've helped me plenty, Larissa. I'll sell all the remaining assets. The remaining cash should be sufficient for me to start a small clinic."I know I still have a long way to go as a doctor. Even if I keep the hospital running, it would only harm the patients. It won't take long for it to shut down."So, I've decided to start afresh. I plan to open a s
Though Ambrose had always been nice to her, Larissa felt that something was off about him. She tugged Ambrose's tie and pulled him downward.Larissa asked, "Mister, something's off about you today!"Ambrose smiled and averted his gaze. "I'm a little busy with work. I have to leave soon."Larissa narrowed her gaze at him. "Is that all?"Ambrose nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm headed to the office for a meeting."Immediately, Larissa lost her energy.Ambrose patted her on the head. "Since your period just started, you should rest at home over the next few days."Larissa hugged him and pulled his ears, saying, "Come home and accompany me as soon as you're done with work!""Got it." Ambrose kissed her hands.But Larissa would never stay put at home—never in this life.Shortly after Ambrose left, Zayn called. "Boss, I bought a supercar. Come collect it with me!"Larissa rolled her eyes. "Don't you know how popular you are? If I went with you, I would get photographed by the paparazzi
Camy tried to calm herself, ignoring Larissa, who was casually touching and taking selfies with her dream motorcycle."Mr. Hamilton, I really like this motorcycle. Will you consider letting me have it instead? I'll do anything!"Larissa was furious. This motorcycle was a gift Ambrose had gotten for her. After thinking about it for a bit, Larissa quickly pieced things together.Ambrose had pretended he was going to a meeting but had secretly come here to collect the motorcycle, planning to surprise her.Who would have thought that a strange lady would suddenly appear and try to snatch Ambrose's gift for her?As Camy spoke animatedly, she couldn't help but reach out to grab Ambrose's hand.Watching the scene unfold, Larissa could no longer contain herself. She stormed over and forcibly wedged herself between the two. She sneered. "What do you think you're doing in broad daylight? Are you trying to harass a married man? You'll have to get through me first!"Faced with Larissa's poc
After tumbling a few times, Camy finally came to a stop.Larissa skillfully brought her motorcycle to a halt, placing one foot firmly on the ground. "Make sure you clean the toilet properly!" she called out.Camy gritted her teeth. She couldn't believe she had actually lost to Larissa!That said, if she expected her to clean the toilet, she could simply dream on! There was no way she was going to do it!Camy quickly got back onto her motorcycle and sped off.Larissa pursed her lips.Was that all she got?…Ambrose had wanted to surprise Larissa with an anniversary gift, but he nearly got mistaken for cheating.Zayn seemed to sense Ambrose's chilling gaze and immediately ran off. If he hadn't, he would have been ripped into shreds by Ambrose.Ambrose said to Larissa with a smile, "Larissa, don't you think Zayn has been a little too idle lately? He tends to wander around in women's clothing when he has nothing to do. It would be bad if someone were to discover his weird hobby.
Upon making it to her office, Larissa called for Zayn's manager, Hugo Kaiden, and instructed him to enlist Zayn in the wilderness survival reality show.Hugo asked cautiously, "Aren't they heading to Essia for their next episode?""That's right!" Larissa exclaimed with a bright smile on her face. "Isn't that great! Zayn will have the chance to get up close with adorable little animals. He'll surely love it!"Hugo was at a loss for words. Were lions considered adorable little animals? Hugo couldn't help but feel sympathetic for Zayn.At this moment, Zayn was still completely immersed in his video game at home, oblivious to the dreadful event that was about to come.Larissa sat behind her desk and tapped on the tabletop. She said, "There's a trainee named Calvin Camden who owes me one million dollars. Deduct it from his monthly salary."The news of Calvin stepping out and performing for Larissa had spread throughout the company like wildfire.Hugo said with a sigh, "Calvin is just
Savannah said with a gloating voice, "Exactly! Who would possibly dare come to your clinic for treatment? They must have a death wish! "I suggest that you get your door sign replaced. You should be a veterinarian and help animals with sterilization procedures instead. Perhaps then you'd actually have some business!"Skye bit her lip, unable to refute. She just wanted to start anew, but she never considered the possibility of having no patients at the start.Suddenly, a voice came from the door. "Who said there's no one?"Amanda walked in from outside.Upon seeing Amanda, Savannah's eyes flickered with guilt.Amanda was a spoilt and arrogant brat. She was also not the sharpest tool in the shed.Savannah appeared to be Amanda's best friend, but in reality, she only took her as a convenient source of money and often mocked her behind her back. But one day, Amanda suddenly called Savannah and gave her a good scolding.Savannah, being the vengeful person that she was, bought a po
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
