In the end, Ivy gritted her teeth in disappointment and said, "It's fine if you don't want to help her, but please don't ruin her reputation. Even now, I feel like someone as heartless as you isn't worthy of her protecting you."With that said, she turned and left.Seth was momentarily shocked before he chased after her.In the private room, Tyrone held his cue stick and made another shot in a slow and relaxing manner. He continued playing as if nothing had happened.Leonard leaned against the snooker table and looked at him meaningfully. "So, she's the reason you dumped everything on me the last time we were overseas and came back here. I can tell that Heather affects you a lot."Tyrone said nothing.The woman with the markers and walked over with a smile. "Mr. Elkin, the new won't come if the old doesn't go. I can—"Tyrone suddenly glared at her icily.The woman instantly froze and didn't dare to move, shuddering as she said, "Mr. El-Mr. Elkin…"Suddenly, there was a huge ba
The last time Tyrone had met Heather, she'd been wearing a pretty attractive outfit. She'd looked beautiful and alluring.But now, she was completely disheveled, with her face pale and her lips parched. She sat there like a little beggar.Tyrone had never seen her in such a bad state.He walked over to Heather, and when he looked at the woman's pale face, his expression turned dark. He pulled her into his arms. "Don't be scared, Hattie!"Heather was dirty and stinky. However, Tyrone held her tightly, as if he didn't know how dirty she was despite his usual obsession with cleanliness. It was as if he was worried that she'd disappear the moment he let go.Silence fell upon the room. After a few seconds, Tyrone pulled away from Heather and looked at her, but she didn't react at all. "Heather? What's wrong?"She said nothing. She didn't react to his embrace at all, as if she didn't know that he was here.Something was wrong. At first, Tyrone thought Heather had been shocked. He th
At this time, an SUV stopped right in front of the manor's gates. Craig jumped out of the car and ran into the manor, gritting his teeth as he held his hand on his abdomen. He was stunned when he saw Tyrone coming out with Heather in his arms, while everyone else followed them.However, he returned to normal in just an instant. When he saw how pale Heather looked, he walked over in shock. "Is Hattie…"The moment Tyrone saw Craig, the murderous intent in his eyes became apparent again. He immediately gave Craig a brutal kick.The force behind the kick was far more powerful than the kick he'd given Jay.Craig hadn't expected Tyrone to suddenly attack him. He took a few steps back from the force of it, his back hitting the car. He paled and gritted his teeth, drenched in a cold sweat.Tyrone glared at him and said, "If you don't want to marry her, then move."No matter what Heather thought about Craig was, at least Tyrone knew the latter had other intentions toward Heather.After
Heather looked at him blankly.In her consciousness, she felt as though the man in front of her looked familiar, as if she'd seen him somewhere before.His mouth opened and closed, as if he were telling her something, but she couldn't tell what he was saying. She didn't know what it was. She didn't want to ask.She was so tired, and she didn't want to speak.Heather was very dirty, so Tyrone took her for a shower.Once he removed her clothes, she stood under the showerhead, enduring the hot water as she washed her clean.Tyrone was standing right opposite her. His clothes were also wet, so he removed them too, revealing his sexy, strong body.He squeezed some shampoo on his hand, smearing them on her black, silk-like hair. He washed her hair proficiently. The only reason he was so good at it was because he'd practiced it on Heather before.Every time after they made love, Tyrone would take her to the bathroom to wash up. After enough times, even a man who didn't know how to ser
Tyrone only stopped feeding Heather water when she'd drunk at least half a glass of water. He guessed that she'd probably had enough.He held her and kissed her a little more. Suddenly, he realized something was wrong with her as she lay in his arms. Tyrone opened his eyes and saw that Heather had closed her eyes as her head tilted over.In order to make sure that she got some sleep, Callum had added sedatives to her medicine. It seemed like she'd already fallen asleep.Tyrone narrowed his eyes and got in bed with her in his arms. Then, he pulled the blanket and tucked her in. It seemed like it had been a long time since they'd last slept together.In truth, Tyrone hadn't been sleeping well lately. That night, he quickly fell asleep when he smelled her scent and held her soft body.…The next day, Caleb brought some fresh clothes for them. Tyrone helped Heather change into fresh clothes. She sat quietly by the bed. Looking serious, Tyrone helped her with her bra and panties f
Callum almost fainted out of fear as his vision turned black.Tyrone picked Heather up and left. Caleb caught up with him later and said, "Mr. Elkin, with what Ms. Sutton is going through, I think we should listen to the doctor—""So, am I supposed to let that worthless doctor torture her?" Tyrone stopped, his eyes cold.Caleb was stunned. "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that her treatment might get delayed and she might never wake up.""Of course she'll wake up," Tyrone said icily.Caleb was a little surprised. He'd heard from the doctors that Heather's situation was quite complicated. Even specialists believed that she might remain like this forever. And yet, Tyrone believed that she would wake up.Of course, Tyrone wouldn't let Heather go through that darn electroconvulsive therapy again. Even if she hadn't complained about the pain, it had hurt him instead."Get her discharged and find all the top psychologists now. Go to Oakville and find a few people who are f
It was difficult to imagine how a five-year-old girl must have lived with her mother's dead body for so many days. How had she even survived?Even Caleb, who thought of himself as a cold-blooded man, felt bad when he heard what Heather had been through."Are you Heather's boyfriend?" Pam asked curiously as she glanced at Tyrone.She thought Heather was lucky she'd found such a rich man for a boyfriend. She could enjoy life in the future.Tyrone stayed silent for a moment and didn't answer Pam's question. He simply told Caleb to see them off. Andy and Pam left happily with the money.Tyrone lowered his head and looked at Heather, who still wore the same blank expression as she lay in his arms. His eyes showed his mixed feelings.He knew Heather wasn't a heartless woman. After all, she'd cried out to her mother when she'd fallen sick.Because of the pain, she'd avoided thinking about her mother's death after she'd recovered from her sickness and hadn't spoken about it either.Luc
"They're all watching you. Even if it's just for their sake, you have to live well!"Look at yourself now! Are you living up to their hopes? Even if it's just for their sake, you have to live well!"In Heather's silent world, a man's voice cut through like a sudden thunderclap. Live well… Live well… Amidst the profound silence, memories began to emerge in her mind. She saw her mother brushing her hair, teaching her to read, and weaving flower crowns with her. There was also Lucy, smiling warmly at her, reminding her to dress warmly and preparing her meals. These memories overlapped and fused. Just then, Heather's vacant eyes flickered, and a clear voice echoed in her mind, urging her to keep living. "Yes, I have to keep living!" she thought. Tyrone gazed down at Heather's lifeless, delicate face. Bending down to bite her lips, he murmured, "Heather, what will it take for you to wake up?" In the past few days, seeing Heather's lifeless form had only reminded him of t
"You have the hair. You can leave now," Tyrone said as he started to drive both Greg and Hector away.He was feeling sorry for Heather for having to deal with this when she had just woken up and when she was still quite frail."Arrange a room opposite this ward for me," Greg ordered his bodyguard.When Tyrone heard what Greg was saying, he frowned and said coldly, "You're going to stay here?""There are so many reporters outside. Do you think it's suitable for me to leave in less than 20 minutes after I've just visited my girlfriend who has been admitted to the hospital?" Greg remarked casually.However, he kept on poking at Tyrone by referring to Heather as his girlfriend again and again.Tyrone's expression was extremely cold as he said, "You're really treating yourself as her boyfriend now, huh?""It doesn't matter if I want to be her boyfriend or not. Most importantly, the entire nation believes I'm her boyfriend.""Looks like you want me to get you some work.""Ha!" Greg
Tyrone's eyes became a little colder as his arms around Heather's waist tightened.Greg scoffed at Tyrone's act of announcing his ownership and simply shot Heather a look. "Are you feeling any better?"He was here to visit a patient, so there was no need to get into a scuffle with an amiable person.Heather couldn't show Greg a sour expression, so she simply nodded. "Yeah."Greg let out a laugh. "You're so fortunate. Otherwise, you're going to die from some garbage's uselessness."He was inferring something else.Tyrone frowned and his attitude became even colder. "If you don't want me to throw you out, you should learn how to watch your tongue."Greg scoffed. "Which part of what I said was wrong?""Alright, now that Hattie's back, you two should stop fighting," Hector said. His gentle nature and charm easily make others have a good impression of him.He might be Heather's older cousin, so they had to show him some respect.Tyrone's eyes were cold as he bit his lips and said
Tyrone's body stiffened and the atmosphere suddenly turned tense."Tyrone. He shielded me from an attack. I saw him get hurt. I just want to know how bad his injury is."Heather knew Tyrone didn't like her talking about Craig, but she was genuinely worried about Craig. Heather explained to Tyrone using a gentle voice and tugged at his clothing.There was some anxiety in her eyes. She was being very careful, worried that he might get angry.It was true that Tyrone was somewhat upset, but what else could he say when she was already having that kind of attitude?Tyrone stayed quiet for a while and said, "He's no longer in danger."Heather sighed in relief. "I want to see him."Heather knew Tyrone was going to get upset again if he found out she sneaked out to see Craig, so she might as well tell Tyrone now.Tyrone was silent for a few seconds before he coldly said, "You can see him when you're in a better condition."Heather wanted to go immediately. But she knew if she showed to
Seth had already planned to go for a game of gold in the afternoon.Ivy didn't want to stay to become a third wheel, so after telling Heather to take good care of herself, she then left together with Seth.The ward instantly fell silent.Tyrone looked at Heather with dark eyes. "How do you feel? Do you still feel any pain?"Heather simply said, "I want to take a shower."She had sweated a lot after she recovered from her fever, and she wasn't feeling that comfortable from the sticky sweat.Tyrone's eyes darkened and didn't say anything. He pulled the blanket aside and picked her up, taking her to the washroom.The moment they were inside the washroom, Tyrone placed her on the toilet. He first filled the bathtub with hot water before turning around, wanting to remove her clothes."I can take a bath by myself. You should go out," Heather said as she held onto her outfit tightly, blushing.Tyrone raised his eyebrow. "How can you take a bath yourself when you're so weak? What if a
When Heather opened her eyes once again, the first person she saw was Ivy."You're finally awake, Hattie! You're scaring me to death! Are you alright? Are you feeling any discomfort?"Ivy quickly held Heather's hand when she saw the latter opening her eyes. Then, she asked a string of questions.Heather's entire body was feeling numb and her head was spinning. "I feel weak. Is this the hospital? Why are you here?""I found out from Seth that you have been kidnapped and Mr. Elkin has been searching for you all the while," Ivy said nervously. "You've been having a fever for the past two days and you scared me. It is so fortunate that you turned out alright."She paused a little before saying angrily, "Selena must have gone crazy. She was trying to starve you to death. I know she's not a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so malevolent."You can't even call her a human anymore. She's been arrested, and it's over for her this time."Ivy still couldn't forget how she first sa
Craig was too calm. Perhaps it was because he already knew how duplicitous Selena was.The gentle Selena was just an illusion he saw when they first met, and after he was charmed.That was why, despite feeling angry and shocked once finding out Selena's pregnancy was a lie, he didn't find it completely unbelievable.There was nervousness when Selena was looking at Craig, but it slowly turned into disappointment. Her lips curled into a bitter smile as she said, "You must be so happy when you heard I've faked my pregnancy. You think that you've finally gotten rid of this burden, haven't you?"Craig… Do you know how much I wanted to have a child with you? But you don't look forward to having a child with me at all!"Then let me tell you one more thing. Nothing happened between us that night at the hotel. I've always been lying to you."Aren't you even happier when you hear this news? She spends every waking moment with Tyrone, but you're still keeping your virginity for her… Do yo
Light reflected from the sharp blade."Hattie!" Tyrone yelled loudly.Selena was already right in front of Heather in the blink of an eye, wearing a twisted expression on her face as she held the dagger in her hand.Suddenly, Craig appeared right in front of Heather. He protected Heather, and the sharp blade sliced open a deep wound on his face.Craig grunted, and his towering figure shuddered.Heather looked at the figure standing right in front of her as she could only weakly shout out in shock, "Craig!"Why was he there?Craig was showing Heather his back as he raised his hand to cover his face, blood coming out from between his fingers and dripping on the ground as it flowed from the back of his hand."Don't worry, I'm fine."Craig glared at Selena coldly as he responded to Heather.Selena was completely stunned as she couldn't move her eyes away from Craig.Tyrone kicked Selena's bodyguard in the chest, and he fell to the ground, unconscious. It was at this time when Ca
"But what did you do?"Selena's eyes were suddenly filled with savagery, as if she wanted to turn Heather into shreds. "We were fine when we went on our honeymoon, but everything changed the moment we met you!"Why wouldn't you leave? Why must you string him along? He was going to fall in love with me soon!"Heather, you ruined everything for me! It's you… It's all because of you!"Selena screamed in hysteria.She still believed that the root of all her issues was because Heather refused to leave.Heather never expected Craig and Selena to have such a deep history. "I've never wanted to steal Craig from you. You're the one that's being too suspicious."Selena kept staring at Heather. "It doesn't matter, because you're going to die today, anyway. Even if Craig won't ever love me, he can forget about being together with you!"Even if she couldn't get Craig, she wouldn't allow them to be together.All Selena cared about was revenge.Selena pulled out a dagger from her purse. The
Caleb moved very quickly. He had already found out that Selena had been keeping in touch with a number every day.The owner of that number was a bodyguard who worked for the Huntington. According to the GPS signal from the phone with this number, the phone had been staying in Suthurn Hills on the northern side of Royalton.At the same time, Caleb's phone started to ring. He picked it up and listened to his subordinate's reports. He frowned and said, "Sir, Selena had suddenly left the hospital. Her car is leaving the city.""If she really is leaving the city, is it possible that she's heading to Suthurn Hills? Maybe her bodyguard is keeping an eye on Heather?" Hector made an educated guess.In reality, Hector's guesses were all spot on."The mountains stretch across a wide area. We need to find a way to pinpoint the phone's exact location and then send out our men to search the area," Greg said.Tyrone said nothing as he pursed his lips. Suddenly, he walked in the direction of the
