Dennis heard Chester's request, but he didn't even think about it before he turned it down.

"I won't allow it. Don't you think that would be inappropriate? You're married with kids. Doing that would be equivalent to treating my mother as your mistress and a homewrecker. That's the very reason she was hurt all those years ago and why she got sick in the first place.

"I'd rather let her be this way forever than allow you to take care of her."

Chester was firm when he looked at Dennis and said, "My marriage to Iris ended ages ago. We've been living separately for over 20 years and have already met the legal requirements to get a divorce. The only problem is that she saved my mother's life in the past.

"That's why the divorce hasn't been requested until now."

Chester shifted his gaze to Evelyn and asked, "Evie, I want to divorce Iris. Please represent me in court and help me with it."

Evelyn looked a little troubled. She said, "Mr. Larkin, winning this case won't be difficult. After

    After that, Iris put on a face mask and took the nurse's equipment before leaving. She secretly opened the door to Skyler's ward. When she saw how healthy and beautiful Skyler looked, Iris became insane with jealousy.She couldn't accept the fact that the fire from all those years ago failed to kill Skyler. She also couldn't stand the fact that Skyler remained beautiful even after getting surgery.Skyler might have lost her memories and her face. Still, Chester loved her from the bottom of his heart. All of that filled Iris with jealousy.She slowly made her way to Skyler's bedside and took a scalpel out of her pocket. She thought that all it took was a swing of her knife, and Skyler would never be with Chester again. Iris gritted her teeth and then stabbed Skyler's stomach twice.Crimson-red blood instantly flowed out of Skyler's body.Iris was so frightened that she stumbled back a few steps. Her gaze was filled with both fear and joy.She couldn't help cursing aloud, "Bitch! S

    Dennis shouted toward the door right away, "Doctor! Come save her!"The doctor hurried over upon hearing that. He pushed Skyler into the surgery room immediately after.Iris suddenly laughed evilly while sitting on the floor. She said, "You bitch! You're lucky I allowed you to live for another 20 years."Chester was completely stunned when he saw how injured Skyler was. His heart seemed to have stopped beating at that very moment.The pain was so intense that he couldn't help tearing up. Soon, his tears rolled down his cheeks despite his best efforts.He had never been that terrified before. Even when Warren was injured, he was able to stay calm and handle the situation. Yet, he was losing his mind now that Skyler was hurt.It was so intense that he felt as though he had lost the most important person in his life. He didn't know why he felt that way and wondered what had happened between him and Skyler in the past.Just as he was on the verge of breaking down, he heard Iris' lau

    Evelyn grinned and replied, "You have to be strong. Mrs. Potter will be counting on you to take care of her.""I know."Half an hour later, the door to the surgery room opened.The doctor exited and had a grim expression. He said, "The patient's liver is badly damaged. She needs a transplant right away. Unfortunately, we called every other hospital but couldn't find a match for her. Family members need to get tested right away."Hearing that, Dennis couldn't help clenching his fists. His voice trembled when he said, "Okay, I'll get tested right away."Chester also spoke up, "I'll go tested as well. I'll also ask others to drop by."He fished out his phone and dialed a series of numbers immediately after. Soon enough, several people showed up to get tested for their compatibility. A few hours passed before the test results were out.Dennis immediately ran over and asked, "How is it? Did you find a match?"The doctor looked grim when he said, "Only the shape of your liver is a ma

    Hearing those words, Dennis, who had been stressed, finally relaxed. He was eager to ask, "Who's the match?""It's Mr. Warren Larkin. This is practically a miracle. His liver is an extremely close match to your mother's, and they have the same blood type. You don't need to worry anymore. The surgery will definitely go smoothly."Dennis frowned deeply and asked, "But the guy was just burned and hasn't recovered yet. Can he handle the surgery?"The doctor tapped on Dennis' shoulder and replied, "Don't worry. It's not a problem at all. Actually, Mr. Warren asked me to send you a message. He said that if he could save your mother, then the pain he would endure doesn't mean anything."I'll prep for the surgery right away. You guys should wait outside."Soon, Warren was secretly taken to the surgery room.They were worried that their secret would be exposed, so Warren used a fake name to register for the surgery. He even had to have his head bandaged for it.Only the attending physici

    Everyone was going to let Iris fend for herself.Iris told herself that she couldn't stay idle. Just then, she felt something being poured over her head.She got curious and tilted her head up. That was when she saw a woman holding a basin over her head and pouring something onto her. The graceful and protected Mrs. Larkin had never experienced that kind of treatment before.It prompted her to get up immediately and dash toward the woman. Through gritted teeth, she roared, "What did you pour over me?"The woman laughed aloud and replied, "Smell it, and you'll know."Iris sniffed at that moment. The pungent smell infiltrated her nose right away. Only then did she realize what that liquid was. She was so infuriated that she raised her hand to slap that woman.Unfortunately, someone stopped her when her hand was still in the air. A heavy knock came to her head immediately after.Someone had smashed a chair over her head, instantly making her dizzy. What followed was a series of bea

    When Skyler woke up, the first thing she saw was Chester. He was seated on a chair by the bed, engrossed in his work. The furrow in his brows and the firm strokes of his pen brought strange images to Skyler's mind. She envisioned a woman resting her chin in her hands, smiling warmly at a man whose expression mirrored Chester's. His handwriting was identical to Chester's too. After some time, the man glanced up, his deep eyes softening as he looked at the woman. He gently tapped her nose with his large hand and smiled as he said, "Come here." The woman stood up excitedly from her chair and threw herself into Chester's arms. Her slender, fair fingers caressed the black mole on his Adam's apple, and in a sweet voice, she said, "Chester, let's have a baby." Chester kissed her eyelids gently, his voice low and resonant. "How many do you want? I'll make it happen tonight." With that, he kissed her eager lips. Recalling this, Skyler's cheeks burned. Why did she have this memory? Th

    Chester's words felt like a needle piercing deep into Skyler's heart. If Dennis was truly his child, it meant they had indeed done something unforgivable behind Iris' back. She immediately withdrew her hand and shook her head vehemently. "Impossible! He can't be your son!" Seeing her intense reaction, Chester quickly tried to soothe her. "Calm down. I was just guessing. I'm investigating this matter and will definitely give an explanation for both you and Dennis." As Skyler struggled to control her emotions, Chester called for the doctor, who administered a sedative. Watching her fall asleep with tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, Chester felt a sharp pain in his chest. How much suffering had she endured to end up like this? He gently wiped away her tears. Just then, his phone rang. He stepped out of the ward and answered it. A man's voice came through the line. "Chester, the results from the sample you sent are back." Chester's heart pounded as he held his

    Chester observed Dennis, who was usually the epitome of gentleness and composure. He had now transformed with bulging veins on his forehead and eyes blazing with everlasting hatred. It struck Chester's heart like a sudden, piercing ache. What had Dennis gone through to become so unhinged? Chester felt his eyes stinging and his throat constricting. He found himself lacking the courage to acknowledge Dennis. After a prolonged silence, he uttered in a deep voice, "Although I have no idea what happened in the past, your suffering stems from my actions. I don't expect you to accept me as your father, but I wish to have a chance to mend the wounds, care for your mother, and help her recover her memories as soon as possible." Dennis locked gazes with him for an extended moment, then slowly released his grip, his eyes tinged with redness. "If this matter is clarified and you've indeed wronged my mother, I'll never forgive you." With that declaration, he turned and retreated into the

    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,
