Warren's moist lips grazed Evelyn's earlobe, a subtle yet deliberate gesture that sent shivers down her spine. His low chuckle lingered in her mind like an enchanting spell, leaving her momentarily breathless.

Was Warren attempting to charm her? Did he think he was a dog, getting frisky in a place like the pet hospital?

Evelyn leaned back slightly, a faint smile dancing at the corners of her lips. "Sorry, Mr. Larkin, but you're not my type."

Like a bucket of icy water, those words doused the flame of passion that had just flickered to life within Warren. He gazed at Evelyn's calm demeanor, his voice tinged with resignation. "Then what is your type? Those refined scoundrels? I can be that, as long as it pleases you."

Some people make sacrifices for love, while others undergo complete transformations.

Warren was willing to change for love, as long as Evelyn gave her approval. He looked at her with deep affection, hoping to detect even the slightest softening in her expression.

    The street was quite secluded, and there was hardly anyone in sight along the main road. Evelyn walked for quite some distance before she finally spotted a restaurant.She was about to head straight there when she sensed someone behind her and instinctively turned around to check. Standing behind her was a man staring directly at her. His gaze held an evil look. Sensing that something was wrong, she immediately ran away.Unfortunately, she was already weak from her low blood sugar. Worse still, the criminal pursuing her was a man.Evelyn didn't run far before she heard someone shouting behind her."Go to hell, Evelyn Jefferson!"As soon as Evelyn heard those words, she felt some liquid being splashed onto her back. Immediately after, she felt a sharp, burning pain shooting up her spine. She realized what was going on instantly and figured out what that liquid was. If it had gotten on her face, it was likely that the rest of her life would be ruined.Evelyn ignored everythin

    Evelyn watched as Warren lay still, covered in blood. The droplets rolling down her cheeks could have been her tears or the water.Just then, the bodyguard who had been assigned to secretly protect Evelyn approached.He took Warren to the hospital.…30 minutes later, Warren was taken to the emergency room to be treated.Evelyn stood in the hospital's corridor despite being drenched.Charlie immediately comforted her. "Ms. Jefferson," said Charlie, "You should get your burns looked at as well. If not, the consequences will be dire."Evelyn shook her head and insisted, "I'm not leaving. I want to wait here.""Ms. Jefferson, Mr. Larkin dealt with your injury first, despite being in such a dire situation himself. He did that because he didn't want to exacerbate your injury."If you miss the opportunity to quickly treat it, you would have wasted all of his efforts."No wonder Charlie was regarded as an amazing assistant. He was great at deciphering his boss' intent.Evelyn stopp

    "Evelyn, you will never understand how much I love Warren. We were promised to be each other's life partner before I was even born. I grew up with him loving me the entire time, and our love for each other has always been strong."If you hadn't gotten into the middle of all this, we would have been married ages ago."Evelyn arched her brows and replied, "Is that so? If the love were that deep, shouldn't you have stood by his side even when he was in trouble? Why did you run faster than lightning?""That was my father's idea. I had no choice.""Aren't you smart enough to come up with something? If all else failed, you could threaten suicide. The Sullivan family loves you so much that I'm sure they'd rather take a crippled son-in-law than let you die."Or could the truth be that you weren't willing to spend the rest of your life with a cripple? You are obviously a pretentious woman. Do you really think that no one else can see that?"Evelyn leaned against the door lazily. Every sin

    Evelyn was still in shock when she heard Warren calling out for her.In a daze, she made her way to the side of his bed. She scanned him for a few seconds before saying, "My injuries are fine. Your cuts are deep, and you need rest."Warren pulled her into his arms and insistently opened her shirt.Her silky soft back had a bandage wrapped around it.The skin under that bandage was damaged, and her flower-shaped birthmark was gone.Warren's heart stung upon seeing Evelyn's injury.He knew that the criminal had specifically targeted Evelyn. The guy's true objective was to destroy her birthmark.That meant he and Chet weren't the only ones who knew that Evelyn was Sonya's daughter. A third party had figured that out.Warren's icy fingers gently caressed Evelyn's skin.In a deep voice, he asked, "Does it hurt?"Evelyn shook her head and replied, "The doctor said that the injury would be worse if you hadn't washed everything off for me in time."Even at that moment, all Evelyn co

    Winnie handed Evelyn a box with a slice of cake in it. The former leaned closer to the latter's ear and whispered, "Don't get back together with him that soon, okay? "Men are evil. They all think that unattainable women are great but never treasure the woman by their side. Make him earn your forgiveness."Before Evelyn could respond to that, Winnie left.The second the latter exited the door, she called Bonnie."You can sleep well tonight, Grandma. I saw the two of them hugging. I doubt it'd be long before that turns into something more."Bonnie was over the moon at her words."That's great! At least the injury was worth it. The entire family is leaving the country tomorrow to go on a vacation."Let all our hired help take a few days off as well. There's no way my future granddaughter-in-law could bear watching my grandson suffer."Bonnie's plan got Winnie utterly in awe.It seemed the old saying was true. No elderly could bear it if their young did not have a life partner. T

    Warren didn't wait for a response from Evelyn. He shoved her hand into his pants right away.The burning heat frightened Evelyn and prompted her to retract her hand.She blushed hard. In a raspy voice, she warned, "Warren, if you keep misbehaving, I'll ignore you!"She had already lost control for a moment there. Still, she would not allow herself to fall back in love with Warren.Warren had kissed Evelyn. Seeing Evelyn's bright red lips made Warren smile proudly."Evie, you still have feelings for me. You enjoyed that kiss, didn't you?""Shut up!" roared Evelyn. She grabbed a pillow and smacked Warren.Warren grinned upon seeing her furious. He wanted to make Evelyn lose her temper.Unfortunately, when he moved to avoid the pillow, he accidentally reopened his wound.The pain caused him to hiss. After that, he softly said, "Evie, I'm hurt."Evelyn took off his shirt right away to examine him.The white bandage was slowly becoming soaked in crimson-red blood. Even his clothe

    Meanwhile, Warren had just picked up his phone to call Evelyn. He wanted to ask her why she hadn't returned yet.That was when the door to the hospital room opened.Clara pushed Iris into the room.Her face showed no sign of shame from being chased out yesterday. The smile she wore remained beautiful."Warren, Mrs. Larkin asked me to take her to you."Warren was in a good mood from earlier, but seeing them there turned his mood sour again.In a hostile tone, he asked, "You just woke up. Why are you moving about and not resting instead?"Iris looked terrible, but the strength in her voice remained.She stared at Warren's wound and asked, "You're willing to die for Evelyn? All she does is get you in trouble. What's so good about that? Why are you so obsessed with her?"A hint of fury instantly rose from within Warren's gaze."She is my lover. What I'm willing to do for her is my business. I have the freedom to choose whether I want to live or die for her. I don't need others to

    Iris left with Clara after threatening Evelyn.Evelyn was under Warren's protection, so Iris didn't have the guts to go overboard.Moreover, Chester had only just reconsidered the divorce because she had saved Bonnie's life. She didn't want to make things worse at such a fragile time.Her main mission was to keep her status as a member of the Larkin family.Iris thought that she would deal with Evelyn eventually anyway.When Warren saw Evelyn entering the room, he immediately asked in a worried tone. "Where did you go? Why were you out for so long?""I took a walk outside."Warren noticed that Evelyn looked off and was avoiding his gaze. He sensed that something was wrong.He immediately hissed and said, "Evie, I'm in pain."Evelyn ran to him immediately. She was about to lift his shirt and check his wound when Warren grabbed her wrist.It was only then that Warren noticed the red handprint on Evelyn's face.His gaze instantly turned icy. He tucked Evelyn's hair behind her e

    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,
