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
As they had gone a long time without being intimate, the instinctual reactions pulsing through their bodies were beyond their control. After a fleeting moment of closeness, Warren tenderly kissed Evelyn, his eyes still awash with a flood of emotions. "Mrs. Larkin, are you content?" Flushed with embarrassment, Evelyn shot him a fiery glare. "Warren, you shameless man! I begged you to stop. Why didn't you listen?" With a soft chuckle, Warren leaned in close to her ear. "Babe, your words weren't a plea; they were a temptation. I simply couldn't resist. And besides, weren't you just..." Before he could finish his sentence, Evelyn swiftly covered his mouth with her hand. "If you dare speak nonsense again, I won't spare you!" Warren smiled and kissed her hand affectionately. "Alright, I'll stop. From now on, I'll listen to you, darling. Is that okay?" "Shut up!" Evelyn pushed him away and straightened her clothes. Just as she got off the bed, there was a knock at the ward's doo
Upon hearing the name, Warren and Simon exchanged a knowing glance. Neither had anticipated that Johnny, driven by vengeance for Clara, would betray the Larkin family and disregard years of camaraderie to become a pawn for someone else. Warren and Evelyn were indeed a match. He had a reckless mother, and Evelyn had an equally thoughtless father. Warren's eyes darkened with resolve.The damage Iris had inflicted on him and Evelyn was beyond repair. He couldn't allow Johnny to become another obstacle in their relationship. Warren picked up his phone and called Chet. …A few days later, in the grand hall of an isolated villa, a man dressed in black was sitting in a wheelchair. His expression was one of contentment as he listened to his assistant's report. "Sir, the Larkin family has already lost over ten billion dollars. This blow has severely weakened the Larkin Corporation. Winnie is so desperate that she's even arguing with reporters. We're close to annihilating the Larkin f
The people bearing the insignia were faction leaders from various factions in the Dark Gusts Society. Therefore, the people who wanted to destroy the Larkins had to be from this society.The Dark Gusts Society was an underground secret society from Oreil. They were extremely powerful and controlled the economic pillars of several countries in Oreil.Rumor had it that their faction leaders were the heads of prominent families all over Oreil. These people joined forces to monopolize the entire Oreil industrial chain.As their country had progressed by leaps and bounds over the past few years, the Dark Gusts Society was already starting to reach for the local enterprises. Warren was added to this group by word of mouth with the promise that he would be given the Oreilian market.However, Warren didn't believe the Dark Gusts Society was the mastermind.Considering the society's influence, they wouldn't need to scheme for over two decades to take down a corporation.Thus, he was con
