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.

    "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

    Tyrone remained still, his weight pressing heavily on Heather. Seeing that he had no intention of moving, Heather felt increasingly suffocated. She raised her hand and pushed weakly against his shoulder. "Tyrone, let go of me." His gaze bore into hers. The initial surprise in his eyes gradually turned to coldness, his lips pressing into a tight line. An invisible chill seemed to settle around him, as though a storm were brewing in the tense silence. Heather sensed the shift in Tyrone's demeanor. Confused by his dark and menacing expression, she blinked and asked, "What's wrong?" Tyrone silently scoffed. What's wrong? What right did she have to question him?His eyes narrowed, and a surge of anger flared within him. He raised his fist and brought it down with a fierce slam, intimidating Heather so much that she buried her face in her hands. To her surprise, his fist slammed on the bed beside her face, landing with a deep thud. "I should never have cared whether you lived

    Heather couldn't help but think that if Tyrone had punched a real person, they'd either be dead or severely crippled. She wondered what could have made him so furious. "What did you do to Mr. Elkin?" Caleb asked. "Me? How is it my fault?" Heather was genuinely confused. "Who else could it be?" Caleb replied, clearly frustrated. "Mr. Elkin has been putting off his work for days to look after you. Do you know how much money he's lost because of you? "And now you're fighting with him? After everything he's done for you, the least you could do is go and make things right!" he urged. Tyrone should have been happy to see Heather conscious, yet he was seething with anger instead.Caleb knew she must have set him off again; no one else could get under Tyrone's skin quite like she did. He thought it was absurd that she'd argued with Tyrone right after waking up. Heather, however, didn't believe it was her fault. Since regaining consciousness, she'd only uttered one thing before Ty

    Heather's beautiful eyes sparkled with a charming glint as her lips curved into a sly, triumphant smile. She delighted in her little tricks, and Tyrone always fell for them. His earlier concern now seemed almost comical. Tyrone stared at her for a moment, his expression growing stoic. Abruptly releasing her ankle, he rose to his feet and started to walk away. Heather's eyes widened in surprise as she watched him leave. In a rush of panic, she lunged forward and clutched his leg. "Tyrone, don't go!" Furrowing his brows, he glanced down at Heather clinging to him. "Let go." Sitting on the floor, Heather looked up with tear-filled eyes, her gaze pleading. "Promise me you won't leave, and I'll let go." She was clueless about Tyrone's fury, but she feared that if she released her hold, he would walk away without hesitation. She was too weak to chase after him; otherwise, she wouldn't have had to feign a broken ankle just to get him to come over. Tyrone's patience was wearin

    Tyrone sneered. "Heather, Craig will still pay even if you talk your way out of this. And once I'm done with him, I'll deal with you." "I heard someone say I had to keep living, no matter what. That was you, wasn't it?" she asked. Her eyes met his icy gaze with surprising calmness. "I woke up because of your words." Tyrone was taken aback and stared at her in stunned silence. Using a nearby shelf for support, Heather slowly stood up. "If you want to go after Craig, then do it. But don't blame me for it. I'm not taking the fall." Heather was exhausted and had no intention of delving further into it. She turned toward the door, seeking a place to rest. In her fatigue, she failed to notice an object on the floor and tripped, falling directly toward a weight rack. Her eyes widened in terror, and a scream escaped her lips. But before she could hit the metal rack, someone grabbed her and pulled her back into a firm embrace.Still shaken, Heather looked up at Tyrone, swallowing

    Heather tilted her head back, bracing herself for Tyrone's passionate and overwhelming kiss. His kisses were always intense and commanding, as if he wanted to consume her whole. But today, something was different. There was a current of excitement mingled with an unfamiliar hint of nervousness. She couldn't quite understand why he seemed anxious. As their lips and tongues intertwined, Heather was swept up in the emotions conveyed through Tyrone's kiss. Her heart trembled with a sensation she couldn't quite name. Her long lashes fluttered, and her delicate arms instinctively wrapped around his neck as she gently returned the kiss. In the past, Heather had always been on the receiving end of their kisses. Even when she initiated them, it was only at Tyrone's demand. But this time, she was responding to him of her own accord for the first time. This small, unexpected gesture made Tyrone pause. After a moment, he tightened his grip around her waist and deepened the kiss, his

    Heather hesitated before asking, "Tyrone, where is Lucy?" "Ridge Memorial Park," he replied. The mention of the memorial park crushed the faint, improbable hope Heather had been clinging to. She bit her lip and said, "I want to visit her." "Of course." "Tyrone, Lucy died in my place. That man came to kill me. I can't let her death be in vain. I need to avenge her!" Heather's eyes flashed with determination. "Alright, we'll seek justice. But first, you need to eat and regain your strength. Once you're better, you can do whatever you need to." For the past few days, Tyrone had been entirely focused on taking care of Heather, leaving him no time to investigate the situation. Now, the realization that someone had dared to harm someone he cared about ignited a fierce resolve in him. He wouldn't let them get away with it.He scooped another spoonful of soup and fed it to Heather. She ate silently, one bite after another. She was aware that she was very weak now and was in u

    A heavy silence fell upon the room. Tyrone’s deep gaze met Heather's eyes for a few moments before he finally spoke. "Hattie, what do you think?" The use of her nickname sent a shiver through Heather. Only her mother used to call her that. Tyrone had always addressed her by her first name. Yet now, his husky voice carried the intimacy of a lover's whisper which was almost flirtatious. Despite the warmth in his tone, Heather detected a slight chill in his eyes. It was clear that he wasn't interested in hearing anything he didn't want to. Just as she was about to respond, her eyes caught sight of a box on the nearby cabinet. It was an ancient ivory box, one of the many gifts Tyrone had given her. The weight of her debt to him suddenly felt heavy. They were both adults, and she wasn't naive to miss the implications behind Tyrone's actions. She bit her lip before she said, "Tyrone, I can be with you, but you have to agree to two conditions." Tyrone hadn't expected her to s

    "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.

    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
