It was the first time the gentle and magnanimous Skyler was being so stubborn.

She only had one thought in mind—to convict Iris so that Warren and Evelyn wouldn't be in danger anymore.

Every time the couple got hurt, her heart would hurt along with them. She felt a similar pain in her heart when she worried about Dennis.

Seeing her determination, Russell's eyes darkened slightly. He turned around to look at Dennis. "The reason I disagree is for your mother's safety. I will never agree to let her take any risk. Dennis, what do you think?"

Dennis gave Russell a complicated look. "Your concern is not unreasonable, Uncle Russell, but my mother has already made up her mind. I'm afraid that none of us can stop her. It's only a hypothesis that going to the Larkin Manor will awaken Mom's memories. Why don't I take her to have a look before making a decision?"

"No. Are you planning to get acknowledged as a Larkin by doing something so impulsive as going to the Larkin Manor? What if Chester

    With an easy familiarity, Skyler walked to the cupboard at the back of the living room and took out the first aid kit. She rifled through its contents until she found the burn cream.Unscrewing the cap, she squeezed the cream onto the tip of a cotton bud and gently applied it to the burn on Chester's leg.Everyone in the room was shocked, but no one said a word. They just quietly observed her actions.Once the burn was attended to, Skyler's frown finally relaxed. She looked up gently at Chester. "The burn isn't serious. You'll be fine after a few days."The housekeeper next to her was nearly in tears from fear. She bowed her head and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Larkin. This is all my fault. I will accept punishment."Skyler got up and looked at the housekeeper warmly. Her voice was light and didn't carry a single trace of anger at all. "Don't worry, Mrs. Westly. You've worked for the Larkins for so many years, so of course mistakes can happen. Why don't you start cl

    Dennis glanced at Bonnie's hand and happened to see a bandage on her finger. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you so much, Mrs. Larkin Senior. I'll definitely eat more."Seeing that he seemed to have warmed up, Bonnie nodded in relief. "Since you like it, have as many as you like. I'll make more when you come to visit again."Evelyn picked up the tray and shoved it into Dennis' hands. Smiling, she said, "Let's go eat over there."As they were about to walk away, they heard Warren's voice. "Evie, you can only have one cookie. At the prenatal appointment a few days ago, your blood sugar was near the upper limit. You have to watch yourself, got it?"He walked over and rubbed Evelyn's lower back, looking at her with heartache. "You rushed here bright and early in the morning and have been busy since. You must be exhausted. Go and get some rest."Evelyn nodded obediently. "Then can I have some chips?""No.""Can't I just have five pieces? Didn't you hear the doctor say that happin

    Evelyn had nearly gone crazy from cabin fever. Now that she knew they were going somewhere, she couldn't sleep.The entire way, she kept her eyes peeled, watching the streets curiously.They left the city and drove all the way to the outskirts. The winding mountain roads finally lulled Evelyn to sleep.She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard Warren calling her name. "Babe, we're here."Evelyn opened her eyes blearily to see nothing but pitch-black darkness. Beyond the darkness were countless shining stars.The sky was dark, and the night was silent.There was no bustling from the city; all she could hear was the faint chirping of insects.Only then did Evelyn realize that they were at the peak of a mountain.The limitless sky stretched above their heads.Overjoyed, she asked Warren, "Where are we?"Warren took her hand and helped her get out of the car. Pointing at the observation deck in front, he said, "This is the best place to look at the stars in the wh

    Warren took out a ring box from his pocket and slowly opened it. He retrieved the smaller ring and slid it into Evelyn's middle finger. "This was the ring you wanted to propose to me with. When I found it, I knew that you were 11. "I was grateful to the person who pretended to be you. If it weren't for her, I still might not know that my wife had already loved me for three years."After he finished speaking, he planted a kiss on Evelyn's lips. "Let me love you from now on. I'll make up the past seven years to you, alright?"Evelyn sniffled. "Why did you bring me here?"Warren smoothed a finger over her eyebrows and said, "I remember you told me back then that you wanted to take me to see the stars once my eyes were healed. Mrs. Larkin, my eyes were healed seven years ago, yet you never took me. Neither did you tell me that you were 11. I was searching for you so hard."But now, it's good that I know. Even without knowing about our previous relationship, I already love you so mu

    When Dennis heard that, he also took a deep puff of his cigarette on his balcony. "I think so too. Maybe my mother looked a lot like Iris before she was disfigured."Warren replied lowly, "They also have similar handwriting. Thus, one of them must be trying to pose as the other for some reason, to the point where my father couldn't even tell them apart. This must be why he had no impression of Mrs. Potter whatsoever."Because from the start, Mrs. Potter must have appeared as Iris, so no one realized. Only after she became pregnant did Iris start feeling threatened and wanted to get rid of her."Dennis had no objections to Warren's analysis. He simply frowned and said in a hushed voice, "So, I'm still the illegitimate son, and my mother is still the shameful mistress, right?"His voice sounded off. Warren immediately tried to comfort him, "If we want to know the truth, we should investigate your mother's background first. Now, based on our analysis, we know that she must have resemb

    "No, he's just coming to help me. But, those shares should have belonged to him anyway. I also want to have more time to keep Evelyn company," Warren said."Alright, I'll be there tomorrow morning," Seth replied."How's the baby?"They were both fathers. Only a parent would be able to understand the impact of nearly losing a child.Seth sighed. "The doctor did fetal heart rate monitoring on Jennifer yesterday. If there are any issues, they will let us know immediately. If things are good, we may be able to hold on until 32 weeks."A normal baby was only born after 37 weeks. If a baby was born at 32 weeks, it would need to be placed in an incubator, and the likelihood of survival was low.Not to mention, Jennifer had two babies.If Jennifer couldn't hold on until the due date, the sick child would not survive. On the other hand, the other baby would still be born premature, so the likelihood of survival would still be low.Hearing this, Warren pursed his lips. "I know the best p

    Afraid that he would hurt the children, Seth controlled his emotions. Still holding Jennifer's face, he kissed her over and over again.Now that they were intimate again, memories from three years ago instantly resurfaced in his mind.Back then, Jennifer was always smiling. When she saw that he had come to pick her up from school, she ran to him excitedly like a little bird.Then, she slipped into his arms and smiled up at him. "Seth, how did you know I missed you in class?"He had laughed and pinched her nose. "You came here to learn, not to think about boys in class."Jennifer had rubbed her face against his chest. "Thinking about boys doesn't affect my studies. I'm top of the class again. You should reward me."Seth had smiled in delight. "You're amazing. What kind of reward do you want? Just tell me."With a playful twinkle in her eyes, Jennifer had gotten on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear, "I want you."Seth's face had instantly turned red. He had rubbed Jennifer's

    Only when the sky began to brighten did Jennifer finally pass out in Seth's arms in exhaustion. Just like that, the two of them had lost their virginity to each other.Ever since then, they moved in together.Recalling these memories, Seth felt an indescribable emotion within him. It felt wonderful but also bitter.If he had understood Jennifer a little better and knew how much she had suffered because of him, he wouldn't have broken up with her.He wouldn't have hurt Jennifer so deeply.Seth kissed Jennifer slowly, the same way he had during their first time.His mouth kept mumbling, "Jennifer, I'm sorry."Before she knew it, Jennifer's tears had slid down her cheeks, into her mouth.All the unhappiness and indignation were captured in her tears.However, being so prideful, she had never uttered a word to Seth about how miserable she had been when he first left her.She hadn't dared to tell her family about the pregnancy, but she hadn't wanted Seth to pity her either.Sh

    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,
