Chet's surprise lasted for a good few seconds. Then, he stated calmly, "Your memory is really amazing, Mrs. Khind. You remember this so clearly even after so many years."

Suzanne sighed and said, "I was friends with your mother. She had only gotten hurt so badly because she wanted to save the child in her belly. Of course, I remember clearly.

"When your sister was born, she was not like the other babies. She was so pale and chubby, and she had large eyes like your mother. The birthmark really looked like a flower. I burst into tears when I saw that. I thought to myself that your mother must have left her favorite thing on your sister's skin."

After Chet left the doctor's office, Suzanne's words were still ringing in his mind. Suzanne was his mother's best friend when she had been alive, as well as the doctor who did her prenatal checkups.

She wouldn't make things up.

His sister had a flower-shaped birthmark on her back. That was a mark that his mother had left for her.

    Meanwhile, Evelyn only found out after she got onto the plane that she was seated next to Warren. On top of that, Seth was sitting in the window seat across the aisle. Not only were they sat far apart, there were even two seats in between them.Evelyn didn't have to think too hard to understand what happened. This airline was owned by the Larkin Corporation. Changing the seating arrangement was a piece of cake for Warren.She didn't want to fuss over this with him. Thus, after she sat down and put her seatbelt on, she put on her earphones and closed her eyes.The flight was over ten hours long, so she wanted to take the opportunity to get some rest. However, as soon as the plane was flying steadily in the air, she heard someone calling her.Slowly opening her eyes, she found a blonde flight attendant smiling at her.Evelyn took off her earphones and asked, "What's the matter?"Still smiling, the flight attendant said, "Ms. Jefferson, Mr. Larkin said he's not feeling well. He al

    "Dear passengers, the plane is currently experiencing strong winds, leading to major turbulence. Please put on your seatbelts and avoid using the lavatory."As soon as the flight attendant finished speaking, the plane shuddered violently. Screams rang out in the cabin. Still holding Evelyn, Warren was roughly thrown against the door. Evelyn heard a grunt in her ear."Warren, are you okay?""I'm okay, Evie. Hold on tight. You can't let go."As Warren spoke, he took off his tie and tied Evelyn's waist to the handle in the bathroom. Then, he used his body to wrap around her protectively. Just like this, Warren was tossed around while holding Evelyn tight. If he wasn't bumping against the sink, he was slamming into the handle. From the beginning to the end, he made sure that Evelyn was well-protected and didn't get hurt.The turbulence was getting more and more intense. The loss of gravity when the plane dipped suddenly made Evelyn shriek. She held onto Warren's neck, shivering fi

    Of course Charlie understood. His boss had had his heart broken. He tried to comfort him. "Don't worry. A scar takes a long time to heal, right? Not to mention, the scar in Ms. Jefferson's heart is very deep. It won't get better so quickly. You need to be more patient."Warren said morosely, "If she doesn't get better soon, I'll go crazy."Seeing someone else take care of her was really going to drive him crazy. He wanted to storm over and pull her back to his side to stop her from having any association with other men.But who was he to her?He finally knew how bothersome it was to not have an official label on their relationship.He didn't even have any reason to protect her.He was her ex-boyfriend who had kept her in the dark and hurt her over and over. On the other hand, Seth was the classmate who had liked her and protected her for seven years.No matter what angle he looked at it from, Seth beat him in every way.Warren finally understood what Evelyn had been troubled ab

    Just as Evelyn was about to speak, she heard Warren's phone go off. Seeing that it was Chet, Warren picked up impatiently. He wanted to tell Chet that he would be in a lot of trouble if it wasn't important. However, Clara's shrill crying came over the phone.The voice was so piercing that even Evelyn could hear clearly from where she was standing. She couldn't help but ball her fists next to her body.This wasn't the first or even second time that Clara called Warren while sobbing. Even before Evelyn broke up with Warren, Clara would do this all the time. And each time, no matter how late he was or what he was doing, Warren would rush to her side.But when Evelyn had called him to ask for help, he didn't even care. Thinking back to those dark days, she smiled wryly. Pulling her luggage, she began to walk away.When Warren heard Clara's voice, he immediately wanted to hang up. However, he heard Clara say, "Warren, Mrs. Larkin was hit by a car trying to save Mrs. Larkin Senior.

    Clara's words were proven true. As soon as Warren heard Clara cry, he abandoned Evelyn at the airport and rushed to her side. He even gave his suit jacket to Clara and went out to help her get some things.So this was what Warren meant when he said he didn't care about her anymore.Evelyn laughed self-deprecatingly. She brushed past Warren without so much as sparing him a glance.However, she didn't make it far before a muscular, broad chest enveloped her from behind. Then, a man's husky voice came from above her head. "Evie, Grandma might not make it any longer. She wants to see you."Evie escaped his grip without hesitation. She put on a calm and elegant smile and said, "Mr. Larkin, like I said, we are over. It's up to you who you want to be with. You don't have to curse one of your dearest relatives because of an insincere promise."Warren frowned in confusion. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by an insincere promise? Evie, you're falsely accusing an innocent man

    Warren's dark eyes could no longer hide his desire. "Evelyn, someone really needs to punish that sharp mouth of yours. I'll remember this. One day, I'll give you the payback you deserve!"My grandmother broke her femur and refuses to eat anything. She only wants to see you. Now, do you believe me?"Bonnie had helped Evelyn out in the past. Now that she was hurt, Evelyn couldn't help but be moved. She nodded right away. "Take me to see her."The fatigue on Warren's face dissipated immediately upon hearing that. Holding Evelyn's hand, he led her to the hospital room upstairs.Clara was infuriated after witnessing everything while being ignored the entire time.In her eyes, Warren had always been a cold and arrogant man. Nothing had moved him—no matter how she tried to woo him back then. He was nice to her only because she had saved him before.However, he had actually humbled himself for Evelyn just now. To make her happy, he had embarrassed Clara by tossing the jacket straight int

    Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard that.Warren's doting eyes were now bloodshot. His voice was devoid of any warmth as he said bluntly, "Then let her jump!"Charlie wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Mr. Larkin, the situation is more complex than that. Today, there happens to be reporters doing interviews at the hospital. Now, Ms. Sullivan's situation is plastered all over the web and everyone's talking about you."Veins popped on Warren's forehead. He clenched both fists tightly and gave Evelyn a gloomy look. He could tell that Evelyn had loosened up after hearing Bonnie's question earlier. He gleaned a sliver of hope from her gaze.Walking over to Evelyn, he leaned down to look at her. "Evie, I want to hear your answer to Grandma's question."Evelyn lowered her gaze, hiding the emotions in her eyes. She answered quietly, "Warren, it's a matter of life and death. You should hurry over. The Larkin Corporation has already suffered major losses after that foreign in

    Lindsey fell to her knees in front of Warren. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she begged, "Warren, only you can save Clara now. Please save her, I'm begging you. She is everything in our family. Without her, Johnny and Chet can't live on either."With everyone pointing fingers and Lindsey crying at him, Warren blew his top. He didn't know how many times he had to hear such things. Every time, he had to compromise because of the relationship between their families.But what about Evelyn?If he agreed to Clara's request now, then he would simply be acknowledging his relationship with Clara to the whole world.Just as he weighed his options, Clara lost her footing. She let out a shrill scream as she fell off the side of the building.Warren immediately shot forward and grabbed her wrist. He had used so much force that there were scratches where his arm grazed against the rough stone of the wall. Gnashing his teeth, he said, "Do you want to come up or die? I can help you either way

    Every word Linda spoke conveyed Warren's trust in her and disdain for Evelyn. She was suggesting that he didn't even want to come in person to visit Simon.Evelyn could tell what Linda was thinking. A faint, cold smile curved at the corner of her lips.She took out her phone from her bag, looked at Linda, and said, "Is that so? Then, I should personally call Mr. Larkin to thank him for remembering my father's kindness toward him."After she finished speaking, she started pretending to make a phone call.Linda immediately spoke up to stop her. "Mr. Larkin is very busy and currently in a meeting, so please do not disturb him.""Is it that he's busy, or is it that you don't want him to know you're visiting my father without his permission?"Linda realized that her thoughts were seen through by Evelyn, so she decided not to pretend anymore.A slight smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Evelyn, back then, you took so much from Warren without regard for his well-being. Your hea

    Evelyn immediately took out a piece of tissue to help Simon wipe away his tears. She said softly, "Dad, I know you have a lot you want to say to Ms. Dawson, so please wake up soon. We're all waiting for you."Simon's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he was agreeing to the promise.After that, Erica took out silver needles from her bag and inserted them into the acupuncture points on Simon's head.…One hour later, the first acupuncture session was complete.Evelyn asked with some concern, "Ms. Dawson, how is my dad?"Erica was tidying up while speaking, "His condition is better than I expected. At this rate, he should be showing more obvious responses in about a week."Hearing these words, Evelyn looked at her excitedly. "Really? That's great! My dad has hope now!"Ms. Dawson, you've been running around all day. Let me take you to eat first, then you can rest at the hotel."Just as she finished speaking, Simon grabbed Erica's hand.Seeing this scene, Evelyn's eyes widened

    The room suddenly became so quiet that they could even hear each other's breathing.Tears welled up in Erica's eyes as she stared at Simon. She only went to his bedside, taking a few difficult steps, after several minutes.Erica gently placed her fingertips on Simon's wrist as tears fell onto his arm.Watched her unusual reaction, Evelyn finally remembered where she had seen Erica before.There was a picture of a women hidden in Simon's private photo album. If Evelyn wasn't mistaken, that woman is Erica.Simon had kept that photo all along, while Erica teared up upon seeing him. This kind of thing usually happened between couples.When Evelyn thought about it, she suddenly understood everything.Erica was someone Simon had been in love with many years ago. The unfortunate couple was separated initially because of Xena's scheme.Evelyn walked slowly to the bedside, patted Erica on the shoulder, and asked, "Do you know my dad, Dr. Dawson?"Erica wiped away her tears and sighed.

    Erica was dressed very plainly, but her delicate features still stood out. The red mole near the corner of her eye felt especially familiar to Evelyn.Her first thought was that she had definitely seen Erica somewhere before.She calmly approached with a smile and said, "Dr. Dawson, we're here to fetch you to treat my father."Erica greeted them with a smile. "Come inside and have some water first. I'll go pack up, and we can leave in a short while."They followed her and entered the courtyard once more.While packing her things, Erica asked, "So, which one of you is Sophie's friend?"William, who had always been carefree and uninhibited, immediately stood up and respectfully said to Erica, "It's me. I met her in Zyldrica."Erica looked him up and down, her eyes revealing a hint of delight. "You seem very handsome and look spirited, young man."William's smile was somewhat stiff. It was the first time someone had ever complimented him, and he didn't know how to react.When fac

    Evelyn stepped forward and said, "But Warren and the others have been doing everything they can to find you and get you out."Alfred shook his head. "If I leave, that bastard will know that you all have discovered his secret. All your subsequent plans will fail."I'm staying here since he won't do anything to me anyway. I still have something I haven't given him yet. How else do you think I've lived until now?"You all should leave quickly. Just pretend nothing happened. My granddaughter and I will handle that jerk ourselves.""Mr. Miller Senior—"Evelyn wanted to say something else, but Nathan, who was behind her, grabbed her abruptly.He furrowed his brow and looked at Alfred. "Evelyn, Mr. Miller Senior is right. If he leaves, Warren's plan will be ruined. Don't worry, I'll assign someone to keep an eye on this place and make sure nothing will happen to him."Evelyn was eager to save Alfred so that Warren could launch a full-scale attack on Russell. Only then could they reunit

    Elma shook her head in disbelief. "That's impossible. You're talking nonsense. My dad was killed by Chester long ago. The person who killed him is not Sir."Evelyn gave a calm smile. "He says he's protecting you, but in reality, he has always treated you as a pawn to control Iris. Otherwise, your mother wouldn't risk her life so willingly for him."I could never understand why Iris would obey someone so willingly. But then I met you, and everything became clear to me."Have you never wondered why your mother looks so much like Mrs. Larkin? That person definitely won't tell you that they are twin sisters."You're also the one keeping an eye on this old man's biological daughter. That person has known about this secret for a long time but has kept it from Iris to fully control her."Whether it's your father, Ronald, or your mother, Iris, their tragic lives were all caused by that 'Sir' you mentioned. Do you want to follow in their footsteps?"Hearing these words, Elma glared at Eve

    The gears lunged toward them, like a giant shark with its jaws wide open.Just then, Nathan suddenly held Evelyn in his arms. In a low and hoarse voice filled with suppressed emotion, he called out softly, "Evie."His grip around her was tight. It felt as if he wanted to fuse Evelyn into himself. At the same time, he pressed a button that was a disgusting shade of yellow with his other hand.Everyone was wide-eyed with fear, staring intently at the turning gears.If the wrong button was pressed, not only would the gears not stop, but other traps in this room might be activated. They were in double jeopardy, and there was no escape for them.At that critical moment, the rumbling sound of the gears gradually diminished until it faded away entirely. The gears stopped just short of three feet away from them.Evelyn looked up at Nathan, her eyes wide with shock, and her voice trembling. "Nathan, we're saved."Nathan smiled and gently brushed her hair. "I told you, I won't let anythin

    The elderly man was none other than Warren's grandfather, Alfred. But wasn't Alfred being held in Milania by Russell? Moreover, he had been poisoned and was supposed to be unconscious.Yet, the elderly man before them was sitting at a table, leisurely playing a game of chess.Evelyn didn't have time to think much. She pressed the switch next to her, opened the door, and rushed in.Just as they went in, the glass door automatically closed behind them, and the entire room started to slowly descend—right into where the gears were turning.Evelyn looked at Nathan with some panic. "I think we've been tricked."Nathan looked at a control panel in the room and said, "Don't worry. This is the control console. As long as we find the button to stop the gears from turning, we'll be fine."After speaking, he carefully examined the central control panel.At that moment, Elma's laughter echoed again in the room. "Evelyn, this control panel has 81 buttons, and each one will trigger a different

    Elma's eyes seemed so familiar to Evelyn that they left a deep impression in her mind.When Evelyn was deep in thought, she suddenly opened her eyes wide as a name popped into her mind—Iris Lindt.Elma's eyes and nose looked a lot like Iris'. Could it be that they were related?Evelyn tried to stand up and look for William and Nathan, but her hands and feet were tied, making moving impossible.She softly called out, "William? Mr. Holland?"There was no response, so she tried calling out again. This time, a deep, hoarse voice rang out close by. "Evelyn, I'm over here."Nathan's voice was urgent and full of concern. In the darkness, Evelyn almost mistook it again for Warren's voice.She responded, "Mr. Holland, where is William?"Nathan kicked William beside him and said, "He's next to me. The drug seems to be affecting him more. Don't be afraid, I'll be over there right away."After speaking, Nathan crawled toward Evelyn. Seeing her pale face, he felt a bit concerned and asked,
