With this thought in mind, Ambrose couldn't help but let out a sigh.Larissa's eyes instantly turned cold.She turned around and left without looking back, leaving Ambrose with a cold and distant silhouette.Ambrose was slightly taken aback and instinctively caught up to her. "Larissa!"Remiel could no longer suppress his anger and yelled out, "I won't let you two off!"Larissa walked quickly, and Ambrose had to take a few large strides before he could finally reach her.He grabbed Larissa's hands and pulled her into his embrace. "Are you mad?"Larissa muttered lowly, "He hit you."Ambrose paused for a moment before he realized what she was talking about.Did she try to hit Remiel because he had been rude to him earlier? Was Larissa just trying to protect him?Ambrose's heart melted. "Larissa, listen to me. He's my brother…"Larissa stared at him with doe eyes and uttered, "You're unhappy."Ambrose found himself tongue-tied.He cared about Remiel's feelings because of his
Vincent's face turned beet red as he nearly suffocated from Larissa's tight embrace."Vincent, I heard something happened to you. You nearly scared me to death. It's a good thing you're okay," Larissa said with a lingering fear in her heart.Upon hearing this, Vincent furrowed his brows. "I don't know what happened, either. I just suddenly passed out, and when I woke up, the whole place was a mess."Larissa never thought things would be this serious. "When did it all start?"Vincent pondered for a moment before replying, "Two nights ago.""Two nights ago?" Larissa tried to recall the time. "That was when your dad was in danger. Could it be some sort of telepathic communication between you two?"Vincent's face was full of disdain. "Mommy, please don't put me and Bad Daddy together."Larissa was speechless. "Alright, alright!"If it was two nights ago, then the timing perfectly matched up with when Ambrose was in danger.Vincent had inexplicably lost control at that very moment.
In the nursery room, Larissa and Vincent were snuggled up together, sound asleep.Ambrose gazed at both of their sleeping faces. His heart instantly melted.He walked over, removing his shoes before climbing into bed with them. He wrapped his arms around Larissa's waist, hugging her from behind.In the middle of her sleep, Larissa sensed his familiar touch and pushed his hand away. She mumbled, "Be careful not to press on the baby."Ambrose's gaze shifted down to Larissa's lower belly. Right at that moment, the baby suddenly kicked Larissa in the stomach, causing her to wince in pain."What's wrong?" Ambrose frowned, immediately grabbing Larissa's hands and asking in concern.Larissa simply smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. Perhaps the baby is just eager to come out, so they gave me a little kick."Ambrose's face immediately darkened as he glared at Larissa's stomach."If you dare kick your mommy again, I'll be sure to give you a good spanking when you're born!"To Amb
Larissa and Ambrose exited Vincent's room with a sullen expression.After a brief moment of silence, Larissa said, "Mister, it seems like his special ability just went rogue. I managed to suppress it before, but I don't know why he's like that again.""It seems like he's unable to control his abilities while he's unconscious. I think it's better to perform a thorough checkup on him, so we can figure out what's wrong."She nodded. After a discussion, they thought it was best to deal with the rest once Vincent's checkup was over.…The next day, Larissa brought Vincent to her research facility. The facility was established to assist Finn in his high-tech weapon research, but there was also a medical lab for her.Vincent blinked his eyes in confusion when he realized where she brought him. "Mommy, are we here to play with Uncle Finn?"Shaking her head, Larissa contemplated whether she should tell him the truth. In the end, she explained the whole situation to him. She squatted down
Athena said tentatively, "Vincent shouldn't have special abilities in the first place, but he inherited them nonetheless."It must have something to do with gene mutation. That's why his upgrade is very different from yours."Larissa and Ambrose exchanged glances. There was a hint of astonishment in their eyes.Athena continued solemnly, "There has never been a male metahuman in the Sawyer family, and Vincent's the first. The most we can do is keep an eye on him."I've developed some pills lately, and they might be useful for Vincent's condition. I'll fly back tonight and come back as soon as I can."Athena and Arion had been touring all around the world. They missed out on a lot in the past, so they no longer held back. They gave up everything and spent all their time with each other instead.Vincent didn't get any better after his medication. His spasms grew worse, and his body temperature was elevated. Feeling distressed, Larissa and Ambrose never left his side."Let's see ho
Larissa couldn't believe her ears. "Mister, what did you say?"Ambrose bit his lower lip. "Vincent almost hurt you."If he didn't show up in time, the chair floating in midair would have crashed down on her. And that wasn't the first time. In fact, similar occasions occurred a few times before.He couldn't guarantee that he would always come to her rescue. She would get hurt if he couldn't make it in time.Larissa's expression turned grim as she stated firmly, "Vince wouldn't hurt me!""He can't control his abilities at all once he goes rogue. We can send him to the Twilight Group or the base. Once he has control over his special abilities, we'll bring him back—""No!" Larissa interrupted furiously. "I will never send him away! I'll go check on him now. Don't follow me!"She jostled him out of her way, slamming the door in his face.Ambrose sighed helplessly.This was an equally tough pill for him to swallow. He loved his son, but he wouldn't hesitate to prioritize Larissa if
A small figure sauntered out from the Hamilton Estate, and an imposingly tall robot trailed after him.The tiny silhouette spun around and whispered, "MAVIS, stop following me!"MAVIS halted. "Why?" As an AI robot, it had been studying human thought processes. One of Vincent's eyes was dark while the other one was red. The way they glimmered in the dark was enchanting, yet eerie at the same time."Just…" He faltered, innocence palpable in his tone. "Just stop following me!"Without looking back, he dashed into the distance, deserting a stunned MAVIS.…Vincent woke up in the middle of the night, feeling addled. Not wanting to wake Larissa, he went to the toilet on his own, only to find that one of his eyes had turned red. He nearly crumpled in shock.He recalled Ambrose's idea of sending him away, and Larissa's distressed eyes. Athena and Arion would often appear out of nowhere and leave in haste.He took note of the changes in his body, and how his surroundings were always a
The last assassin, Shay, was thrown ten feet away before he finally collapsed on the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, wearing a petrified expression as he desperately tried to back away from the tiny figure flying toward him.Vincent's innocent and childlike demeanor vanished entirely. His expression was shuttered, resembling a soulless killing machine.Just as Shay thought he was about to be murdered, Vincent suddenly paused. The sharp items floating around him lost control and dropped to the ground.Crouching down, he flung his arms around his head as he wailed in agony."No! This isn't me! I am in control. I can do this!"Shay froze. What did he mean by that? Was he still going to kill him?Curling up in a tight ball, Vincent shivered in the wind, his helpless cries tinged with anguish."Go away! Leave! I can be in control of myself. I can't lose consciousness—I can't hurt Mommy and her baby!"Shay was bewildered. He didn't understand a word of his blabbering. Was he
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
