"Mister, your legs have remained mobile for quite some time. It may cause muscular dystrophy. You need to have a massage every day." Larissa started off by massaging Ambrose's legs. After warming up, she took out the specially crafted long needles from her bag."I had these needles custom-made, but I still find that it's lacking something. However, they're already made by the best craftsman in Ambrollum City. When we go to Jaedornia in the future, I'll find someone else to make them."Seeing the gleaming long needles in Larissa's hands, Ambrose fell into a brief silence.When Larissa had confidently promised to treat him, he assumed she would at least spend one to two years in medical school before treating him.He never expected Larissa to act so efficiently. She already had the needles prepared!Seeing the complex expression on Ambrose's face, Larissa joked, "Mister, don't tell me that you're afraid of needles!""Not a chance." Ambrose displayed a confident and self-assured s
There was a bang from the door, then it was closed once again.Jessica held a cup of hot water as she spoke softly, "Dad, Fiona must have something urgent to tell you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have nearly gotten into a fight with the security. Please just let her in."Jessica would always try to mediate out of the "kindness" of her heart.However, whenever she tried to do so, Elon's temper would flare even more. The more she mediated, the angrier Elon would become. As expected, she had struck Elon's nerves once again. "How wonderful! Fighting with security? I think she really wants to get me worked up again!"Jessica lowered her head, hiding her sly smile. Suddenly, there were two heavy knocks on the door. It signaled that the person outside was very anxious and impatient."Can't you see that I'm having a video conference? Wait outside!" Elon shouted fiercely at the door.Fiona, who was waiting outside, really couldn't wait a second longer. She continued to knock on the door.
The person's movements were unusual. Their actions were swift and clean. Soon, the thugs were taken down.Elon muttered, "Who is that?"Fiona replied, "That's Larry."Elon raised an eyebrow as he looked at Fiona. "You know them?""I've met Larry in school. I recognized them the moment I saw them.""Was this the reason you chose to study in medical school?"Fiona scratched her head in embarrassment. "I guess you could say that."Elon was relieved that his daughter had finally found a reliable friend.Furthermore, she was motivated to better herself for this friend. As her father, this brought him great joy. There was a knock on the door. The secretary said, "Mr. Lancaster, Mr. Hamilton and Larissa are here to see you."Elon replied, "Please send them in.""Uncle Elon, I heard you were admitted to the hospital, so I came to visit you. Are you feeling better?" Larissa peeped her head in with a smile on her face. "I'm feeling much better. Please come on in.""La … Larissa. P
While she was talking, Larissa did not bring up her real identity.When she left Sisilia Island, she destroyed all the documents with her identity. Besides her rivals, who had passed away, only Zayn and a few close friends knew about her identity.Elon stared at Larissa for a while. Finally, he nodded. "I hope you remember what you said. If you betray Ambrose one day, I won't let you off the hook."Larissa blinked. "If you don't trust me, I'm sure you at least trust Mister's judgment?"Upon hearing her words, Elon burst into laughter. "You're right. I do trust Ambrose's judgment.""It's good for you to laugh like that, Uncle Elon. Laughing regularly and maintaining a good mood is beneficial for your health.""Alright, alright. I'll listen to your advice." Elon sighed. "Ah, if only Fiona were as obedient and sensible as you!""Fiona's personality has its shining traits. She's supportive, kind, and fearless. Her rebelliousness is her way of protecting herself.""She's not as grea
The most infuriating part was that no matter what Jessica said, Elon believed her. He even believed that Jessica was being considerate toward Fiona. Elon would then scold Fiona for not behaving.In a fit of rage, Fiona joined an underground rock band. She would often travel with the rock band to perform in different places. The money earned would then be fully donated to charity organizations.Rock band performances usually require exaggerated makeup. As time passed, Fiona decided to keep her curly green hair and thick makeup permanently. The more Elon thought about it, the more he regretted it. If only he hadn't listened to Jessica's manipulations, Fiona wouldn't have rebelled against him.Their father-daughter relationship wouldn't have turned out this way, either.Elon suddenly reached out his hand. He patted Fiona's messy, curly green hair. He said warmly, "I'm an old-fashioned man, but I'm starting to grow accustomed to this hairstyle of yours."Fiona looked at Elon i
The sound of the doorbell broke the harmonious atmosphere. Ambrose frowned and said, "It's so late. Who could it be?" Larissa was too busy to answer the door. "Mister, can you go and see who it is?" Ambrose opened the door. There was a middle-aged woman and her daughter at his front door. He had met them earlier in the elevator. "Yes?" Ambrose spoke in an icy tone, looking annoyed. He couldn't be bothered to deal with anyone who disrupted his personal time with Larissa. The middle-aged woman was Marge Miller. She knew of Ambrose through her husband. After learning about Ambrose's identity, her mind started cooking up a plan. Ambrose might be in a wheelchair, but he was rich and powerful! Her daughter had suffered a brain injury since childhood, which affected her mental development. It was impossible to find her a husband as Marge looked down on men with lower social status. However, most men wouldn't be interested in her mentally challenged daughter. Marge was worrie
After dinner, Ambrose volunteered to wash the dishes. There was a dishwasher in the kitchen, so Ambrose only needed to wash some pots and pans. Larissa felt comfortable letting him handle it. She prepared some fruit and fed it to Ambrose piece by piece. After doing the dishes and finishing the fruit, Larissa brought Ambrose out for a walk. "Mister, you used to sit around all day. Staying indoors after dinner is not good for digestion. Let me push you outside for a walk!" While waiting for the elevator, they heard a commotion. Things were being thrown around, and an argument was going on downstairs. "What's wrong with me going upstairs? I'm doing it for the sake of our daughter! I'm not a workaholic like you! Have you ever thought about our daughter's future?" "Have some self-awareness! Don't you know who Mr. Hamilton is? How dare you think of a plan like that! Even if Beatrice was normal, she wouldn't measure up to Mr. Hamilton's standards!" "You have gone too far! What f
"Mister, what are you taking?" Larissa asked. "I'm taking sleeping pills." "Do you have trouble sleeping? Why do you need to take sleeping pills?" Ambrose replied casually, "If I don't take sleeping pills, my legs will hurt so much that I can't sleep."His nerves were injured by shrapnel, causing him to suffer from intense pain throughout the night. After suffering numerous sleepless nights, Ambrose resorted to taking sleeping pills before going to sleep. Gradually, he became dependent on them. He had to take two pills every night to sleep soundly. There were only two times that he had not taken them. The first time was when they had slept together. The second time was when Larissa had gotten drunk, and he accompanied her all night. Since Ambrose had to take sleeping pills every day, it was evident that he had severe insomnia due to pain. Larissa was concerned about Ambrose. "Taking too many sleeping pills is not good for your health and can lead to dependency. Let me gi
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
