Larissa thought, "Wasn't 20 years old the marriageable age for women? Was Ambrose implying that she could have alcohol once they were married?"Larissa blushed at her thoughts.This man was really cunning!The restaurant was not only stunning, the food was also delicious.With such beautiful scenery, delicious food, and a handsome man by her side, Larissa was in a good mood.The only disappointing thing was that Ambrose didn't allow her to drink alcohol. Besides that, everything was perfect.Even the milk paired with the steak was delicious!Her appetite was aroused because she was in a good mood. She ate so much that her cheeks were bulging.On the other hand, Ambrose didn't eat as much. He held a glass of red wine and gazed adoringly at Larissa, who ate with gusto.Ambrose put down his glass when it was time to serve dessert. He looked restless."There's still dessert? But I can't eat anymore." Larissa groaned as she rubbed her stomach.Ambrose replied calmly, "The dessert
Larissa was utterly embarrassed!In the future, every time she recalled the scene of Ambrose proposing, she would also remember the image of her clutching her stomach and rushing to the restroom.The image was so embarrassing that she wished she could erase it from Ambrose's memory.In the restroom, Larissa took some time to mentally prepare herself.As a result, as soon as she walked out of the restroom, she bumped into Ambrose. He was waiting while looking worried. When he saw her come out, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "I'm bringing you to the hospital!"Larissa said embarrassingly, "Is that really necessary? Going to the hospital just because I ate too much would be too embarrassing, right? I can just take a painkiller back home.""Are you sure you're okay?" Ambrose asked worriedly."I'm really—"Before she could finish her sentence, her stomach started hurting again. "Ugh … Why is it acting up again?""Is your pride more important than your health?"
The reporters showed up at the hospital after asking about it. They managed to interview two eyewitnesses at the hospital entrance, who sounded particularly convincing. "That's right! I saw that wheelchair!""That woman kept clutching her belly. She was about to give birth!""Yes, I saw it too! Her husband was very anxious!""The woman was sent to the OBGYN department as soon as she arrived at the hospital. She might have already delivered her baby by now." When this interview video was uploaded online, it garnered the netizens' support. "It turns out that his wife was about to give birth; no wonder he exceeded the speed limit." Someone even tagged the official Twitter account of the traffic police. "It was an emergency. His wife was about to give birth. Please handle this with leniency." Meanwhile, at this moment, Larissa and Ambrose had no idea that they had created a buzz on the internet, nor were they aware of the various stories netizens crafted about them.Lariss
As soon as Charmaine got into the car, she asked eagerly, "Did Henry really say he likes me? He seldom gets in touch with me after he returns to Jaedornia. I thought he had forgotten about me.""The Huxley family has just acquired a piece of land, so Henry has been pretty busy lately. Once he has settled that, he will definitely contact you. He told me that he fell in love with you at first sight. He wants to court you.""Really? What else did he say?"Miranda chuckled. "There's a lot more, and it's all about you. If you want to hear, I can tell you slowly.""Okay!"Just like that, Miranda brought Charmaine away. They went shopping, had coffee together, and quickly built a seemingly sisterly bond. Miranda came from Jaedornia, and her aesthetic tastes and horizons were beyond what the socialites in Ambrollum could match. Charmaine couldn't help but feel envious of her."Sorry. I need to pick up a call. It's from my bestie." Miranda held her phone, looking slightly unnatural. "
"I'll swing by Herbalogy Hut later and get you some vegetarian food.""You're such a thoughtful daughter," Penelope said. "I'll go and get changed first, then."After that, Charmaine returned to her room and turned on her computer. She took out the card she got from Miranda and followed the instructions on top to access the Dark Web. When she clicked it open, she saw that someone had accepted the reward she posted yesterday. She typed in the chat box, "Larissa will show up at Herbalogy Hut at Hisdeon Road today. Bring her to somewhere secluded and have several men sexually assault her. I need her to lose her sanity. Also, her face must be clearly captured in the video. When it's done, send the video to me.""You have to pay one hundred thousand dollars as a deposit first. Whether or not the plan succeeds, the money will not be refunded." The reply came fast. Charmaine hesitated for a moment. Lately, Ethan hadn't been treating her well, and on top of that, he was on the ver
"Is Fiona serious about studying medicine?" Jessica asked."Yeah. It's all thanks to Larissa that Fiona is improving herself," Elon replied with relief.Jessica pouted her lips mockingly. "What's so great about becoming a vet? It's not going to have a promising future. Actually, it'll be better if Fiona ends up as a vet. Dad can't possibly let a vet take over his business, can he? In that case, I'll be his only option!" Jessica mused. At the thought of that, she nearly let a laugh escape her mouth. …There was an anatomy class in the afternoon. Senior students formed groups of three with freshmen to guide them. Everyone else managed to find their group members, except Larissa and Fiona.Feeling a little frightened, Fiona held Larissa's hand tightly. "I thought vets only needed to feed animals medicine and something along that line. But why is there anatomy? It's too disgusting. I'm scared ..." Larissa patted her back and reassured her, "You are very talented in this. Just b
That was a pretty severe punishment. "Larissa, don't you go too far!" Harper said angrily. Larissa crossed her arms. "Just say that you're scared." "It's on, then!" Maya's gaze on Larissa was filled with hostility. "We've already grouped up with Harper, so we'll assist her." "What? Three against one? Have you got no shame?" Fiona blew up. "Larissa, I'll be your assistant!" "You don't have to force yourself," Larissa said."I'm not! I can do this!" Fiona replied with confidence.Judy said weakly, "I can help Larissa too." The senior with her became displeased at once. "Hey, think about it properly. If you back out now, I won't form a group with you again."Judy pursed her lips and walked over to Larissa's side resolutely. Fiona hummed faintly. "That's my friend." "So you three noobs are going to compete against us?" Maya asked.Larissa arched her brow slightly. "Well, we'll know who the noobs are once we compete." Soon, word of their bet spread far and wide. Stud
Fiona spat, "You've lost, but you can't accept your defeat gracefully, can you?" Harper argued stubbornly, "You guys must have cheated! How could there be no blood?" Larissa spoke nonchalantly, "Blood would only flow out after three seconds following a vessel rupture in cold-blooded animals. As long as you take photos and suture it back within three seconds, there won't be any bleeding. Don't you know the content on page 87 of the anatomy textbook?" Larissa wasn't a hundred percent confident in other subjects. However, she was the best when it came to anatomy. During the years she and her friends worked as mercenaries on Sisilia Island, they were exposed to many things. Dissecting a frog was nothing to her! Harper's face turned pale. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "But the frog is still alive. How is that possible?" Larissa shot her a look of surprise. "The frog should be alive. Do you think everyone will be like you and kill the frog? If you become a doctor in
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
