Birdie pulled out a pair of scissors from her backpack and sterilized them with alcohol. She also took out a pot and a basin of water. They had been out in the wild for quite some time, so they were well-prepared. After MAVIS set up the tent, Ambrose carried Larissa inside. Vincent and Birdie worked together to set the pot over the fire. They poured water from the kettle into the pot and then ignited the firewood.After a while, steam began to rise from the pot.Inside the tent, Larissa lay pale-faced while Ambrose gripped her hand with a grave expression.It wasn't as painful when Larissa gave birth to Vincent. As time passed, the baby still hadn't arrived. Still, the contractions continued.Ambrose's expression darkened as he stared intently at Larissa's belly. "If you don't come out soon, then don't bother coming out at all!"Suddenly, Larissa felt a sensation of relief in her lower abdomen—and a baby's cry echoed throughout the mountains.Larissa took a sharp breath w
With a loud thud, the Celestial Fox crashed to the ground.Its black, beady eyes were filled with confusion, clearly unaware of what had just occurred. A group of people emerged, led by a rugged-looking man holding a shotgun. "After waiting so long, we've finally found the Celestial Fox!" he declared triumphantly.Larissa was taken aback as she saw the fox sprawled in a pool of blood.She tossed a small bottle to Ambrose. "Mister, hurry up and collect the Celestial Fox's blood."They had gone to great lengths to obtain the Celestial Fox's blood as a medicinal tonic for Vincent.Ambrose swiftly walked over to collect the blood.He collected the blood flowing from the Celestial Fox's gunshot wound without applying pressure on it. Seeing Ambrose's actions, the rugged man scolded, "Drop it! I was the one who shot it first!" Ambrose ignored him. He calmly collected the blood and handed the bottle to Larissa. "Take the children and leave. I'll take care of things here." Know
Ambrose stepped forward, firmly placing himself between Larissa and Vincent. Ambrose and Vincent stared stoically at each other, neither willing to back down.Vincent's unwavering glare at Ambrose revealed his growing intent to attack.He raised his hand, ready to unleash his powers on Ambrose.Larissa's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't bear to witness a conflict between Ambrose and Vincent. Without hesitation, she lunged forward, positioning herself in front of Ambrose.With a loud thud, Larissa's body was sent flying through the air.Blood gushed from her mouth, and her face turned deathly pale."Larissa!" Ambrose's face drained of color as he rushed to her side and cradled her in his arms.He looked at her with a mix of concern and remorse. "I told you to stay behind. Why did you come forward?"Larissa coughed and wiped the blood from her lips. "I'm fine, don't worry. I couldn't bear to see you and Vincent fight."Vincent's bloodthirsty gaze faltered for a moment as
"No!"Before Larissa could react, Vincent had already finished the small bottle's contents.Thinking how she had only just started to know the child, Larissa's heart began to ache greatly, knowing that he would be gone soon."You silly child, why did you do that?"She gently held Vincent's face while tears wouldn't stop falling from her eyes.The frightening traces of red faded from Vincent's eyes. His face lit up with a smile of relief."Mommy, I used to be filled with jealousy, anger, and the desire to kill. You're the one who has made me realize that we don't need to be selfish to have it all."Even if I'm gone, I'll still exist inside Vincent's body. I shall protect you with him because we're both your children."Mommy, can you kiss me one last time?"The last trace of red in Vincent's eyes was almost gone, and his voice became weak. It was like he would disappear at any moment.Larissa held him tightly in her arms. A gentle kiss with tears of reluctant goodbyes fell toge
"It's alright now that you're awake."Losing someone and having them return made Larissa feel ecstatic.She hugged Vincent tightly, and she was afraid that this was all only a dream. She was afraid that Vincent would go back to his coma if she let go."Vincent!"At that moment, an adorable voice sounded from the side.Vincent turned his head, and his gaze fell on the girl beside him.The girl's skin was fair, and she had rosy cheeks. There were even two adorable bundles of hair sticking out the top of her head.She looked sweet and squishy, like cotton candy. Anyone who saw her would want to squeeze her tightly.Vincent found her adorable.That girl was the sister of his dreams.Taking a deep breath, Vincent couldn't hold his urge back anymore.He liked her a lot! He wanted to hug his sister at that moment!Vincent hugged Zoey off the ground and kissed her on her tiny cheek."My sister sure is beautiful! You're the world's prettiest sister!"Larissa was speechless.She k
Victor nodded without showing if he understood or not.He wasn't actually bullying Zoey. After all, Zoey was a good girl. Why would he bully her?Victor was still a child, and he was at the age where he would look up to his brother. Whatever Vincent said would make sense to Victor.Seeing Victor nodding obediently, Vincent was pleased."I'm the eldest brother, and you're the second. We're both Zoey's brothers, so it's up to us to protect her from now on."Victor nodded with all his might and said in his nasal voice, "I'll listen to you, Vince!""That's a good boy." Vincent patted Victor on the head. "Remember that if any boy dares to get close to our sister, we should let them have it right away!"Larissa smiled from ear to ear as she watched the children getting along.However, when she heard what Vincent last said, her smile froze. Larissa silently prayed for those who would wish to pursue Zoey.Victor nodded again and looked at Vincent with a gaze full of respect. To him, e
Yuliana put on a righteous look. She wanted to look good in the presence of the Sawyer family's men."How dare a child like you mess around in the Sawyer Residence? Where are your parents? They did a terrible job bringing you up! I'll punish you for them since they don't know how to do it!"Yuliana thought it was a great chance to make Dylan incredibly touched by her.She reached out and wanted to snatch Zoey back.Vincent only narrowed his eyes threateningly, and Yuliana's hand froze in midair and couldn't move at all.Yuliana didn't know what was happening. Panic flashed across her eyes, and her body started trembling. Even her voice was shaking."What… What did you do to me?"Yuliana wondered if she was imagining things. She had no clue why she couldn't move anymore!At that moment, Dylan and the rest reached them.When she saw them, Yuliana's eyes lit up with hope. She quickly yelled, "Dylan, this stray kid is up to no good. Not only did he push Zoey into the pond, he's ev
In that terrifying moment, Yuliana's lips wouldn't stop shivering. She even lost her courage to refute."Bad Daddy! Mommy!"Seeing Ambrose and Larissa approach him, Vincent's eyes lit up.He dashed to Larissa and wanted her to carry him.However, he suddenly remembered that he was a big boy now. He couldn't let his mommy carry him anymore, or Larissa would have a hard time.So, he stopped in his tracks.Larissa smiled and gently gave Vincent a sweet hug.Vincent had grown up and couldn't let anyone carry him anymore. However, he could still hug people!The smile on his face brightened further.Ambrose said coldly, "I don't care who you are. You better explain clearly why my daughter fell into the pond."Of course, Yuliana knew the couple standing in front of her.The aloof Ambrose was dashing and heroic.As for Larissa, she was still as gorgeous as ever, even after giving birth to three children. Yuliana felt ashamed just standing near her.Yuliana bit her lip and couldn'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
