Avery approached Leia. "I still remember back when I just took you in. You were so skinny and small…"

"Enough, Mr. Avery. This is a private matter, and I don't want to talk about it. "

"Was it because you didn't want to talk about it, or you couldn't? Begonia, someone is giving you orders, right? Tell me. Who is that person?

"For whose sake can you go so far that you would even sacrifice your brother's happiness and separate his family?"

Leia kept backing away from Avery. His eyes seemed to peer into the depths of her heart.

She shoved Avery away. Before leaving, she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Avery. I'll repay your kindness with my whole life, but I cannot tell you anything about this matter."

Avery looked in the direction she left. His gentle gaze clouded over.

When Leia came to a deserted place, she dialed the number again. The woman's anxious voice rang out.

"Who was that man who talked to you just now?"

"He's Louis' assistant." Leia didn't tell the truth.

"Just an assistant?

    Louis' words were like a slap to Leia's face. She meant nothing to him, and she wasn't even half as important as Olivia was.It was a huge shock to the arrogant Leia, but she didn't dare to act on it. She had no choice but to keep it in."I see.""Come with me." Olivia turned around and walked ahead.In the long underground tunnel, Olivia spoke up. "I know that you want to kill me.""I also know that you want to get revenge on me."They were well aware of each other's intentions, and they both knew that they wouldn't do anything on Louis' territory.Toxic Hive still needed to depend on Louis, and Olivia was his favorite student. Leia wouldn't be so foolish as to make enemies of Louis.Leia was Louis' important source of data, so Olivia couldn't do anything to her, either.After the transaction was done, Leia looked into Olivia's eyes. "I didn't expect you to actually become Louis' student. He hasn't had a student in years."There was a disdainful tone in Leia's voice. Olivi

    Avery spoke some words of comfort before ending the call. Olivia felt that something was off."Mr. Avery, why didn't you mention that you're getting treatment?"Avery said slowly, "Someone wants to kill me."He spoke indifferently, but his words shocked Olivia."You're suspecting that the Fordhams are behind it?""I don't want to assume such things about my family, but there's something odd about my illness."For years, he didn't doubt his own family. At first, he only needed to find a suitable kidney to cure his illness. But oddly enough, he never managed to find one.Later on, he finally managed to find other sources via alternate routes. However, all of the donors would pass away in various accidents, hence delaying his surgery.If it only happened once or twice, it might have been a coincidence.

    Olivia left on a ship. At the very least, she was calm at that moment.No one could say for sure what would happen in the future. She only had one thought in her mind. She was going home! Her children must have waited for her for a long time.It was snowing heavily in Aldenvine.Ethan had brought the children home. Out of his selfishness, Ethan didn't bring them to the Heath residence to be acknowledged as part of the family.Judging by Mason's personality, he would definitely get the children to stay. It was tough enough for Ethan not to see his wife; he didn't want to be kept away from his kids, either.Ethan brought the children back to the house he and Olivia lived in when they were just married. It was a home that held many unhappy memories for Olivia, but it was also the place where their dreams began.The wedding photo, which Olivia had cut into pieces back then, was hung back in its spot on the wall.Ethan especially took the day off and spent every day with the

    Ethan and the children were stunned when they saw Olivia appearing out of nowhere.There were no signs of her return at all, and even Ethan had no idea when she had entered the country.It wasn't Olivia's fault for hiding it on purpose. After all, Leia had already learned of her whereabouts. If she wasn't careful, she might get intercepted.She kept her journey an absolute secret, and she had come back quietly.Zack and Alicia rushed up to her. "Mommy!"Olivia held the children in her embrace. She hadn't seen them for a semester, and they had grown a lot taller.The sound of bells rang in Ethan's ear as Willow struggled out of his arms. She ran straight to Olivia.She couldn't speak, so she could only express her longing by ringing the bells.Ethan had dreamed of this scene many times. But now, with both the children and Olivia around, he felt that this reality was much more wonderful than any dream he could have had."Liv." Ethan stood still in front of her, examining her

    Ethan noticed that Olivia had calmed down a lot. He would never forget the intense scene back then when Olivia wanted to perish together with Leia."Alright."Now, he couldn't quite understand Olivia. He didn't know what she was thinking.Ethan skillfully cleaned the fish. He was thinking about the matter with Leia, so he was a little distracted. Hence, he accidentally poked his hand with a fish bone.He didn't say anything. Instead, he frowned as he continued washing his hands."Let me do it. You look quite distracted."Ethan hadn't met his sister in a long time. In reality, even if he spent every day with Leia, there were too many grudges between them. They couldn't return to what they once were in the past.No matter how he interrogated her, Leia never revealed anything useful.She was his sister, after all. He couldn't possibly kill Leia for real.Janice felt guilty about her daughter, so she had been taking care of Leia all these years. If Janice had covered up for Leia o

    Ethan had always been clear with his feelings. Back then, when he hated Olivia, he was extremely cold to her. Now, he had sincerely repented, so he couldn't have done something so hypocritical.At least, Olivia didn't blame him for this matter."Liv…"Olivia took his hand and raised it. Then, she gently wiped away the blood on his hand and placed a band-aid on the wound."Come on, the children are still waiting for your food."Ethan lowered his head, meeting Olivia's gentle gaze. His heart ached terribly, and he felt extremely remorseful toward her.He had treated Olivia cruelly back then, but she was still willing to stay by his side and let bygones be bygones.The two interlaced their fingers in the snow as they walked back into the house.Ethan made the meal while the twins ran around outside. Willow was herb-imbued since birth, so she had an excellent physique. However, at that moment, she quietly stayed by Olivia's side.Olivia played chess with Willow. The room was so qu

    Olivia turned around, her fair arms wrapping around his neck as she moved her lips closer. "It's okay."Ethan held her waist with one hand as he placed his other hand on the dressing table.His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing the contours of his firm forearms.Two buttons on his shirt collar were undone, so his tempting collarbone could be spotted right away.His hair wasn't brushed back. Instead, strands of his hair were drooping a little, and he looked extremely gentle."Liv, I just cooked. I have an odor on me—"He had always been particular about cleanliness, but Olivia kissed him deeply. "Ethan, I missed you."In the room, their shadows gradually melded into one.The snow was silent, and it weighed heavily on the tree leaves. From time to time, the branches would bend and creak under the weight.The next morning, sunlight shone warmly upon the yard.Olivia was extremely tired from the ordeal that lasted until midnight.Before she knew it, chattering soun

Undoubtedly, she had shared sweet moments with Ethan when they were just married.Back then, she would learn to cook various dishes at home while waiting for Ethan to come back.She would take care of the flowers and plants in the yard over and over again. She would also wash all the clothes Ethan took off, dry them, iron them, and then place them back in the wardrobe.There would always be a bouquet of flowers on the table, which brought life to the house.After she lost her child, she wept every day. At that time, the house was like a cage that trapped her. She could no longer feel joy.It was especially so for the baby room she had decorated herself.

I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing.

    Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family.

    Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him.
