Although the photo did not depict Narda and Luke Huxley in an intimate relationship, it did show that they knew each other well. Narda's deceptive, fake love story led everyone to assume that Luke Huxley was her boyfriend upon seeing the photo. Sherly also pondered this thought and eventually shared what she had witnessed."Actually, I saw your boyfriend holding Professor Hansley's hand and saying something," Sherly disclosed.He couldn't hear him because he was far away, but I think the relationship between them is not simple.

Aside from that, Sam even admitted that he had no right to compete."He couldn't shake the suspicion that his sister had sent Sam to taunt him.After hanging up, Luke felt a tightness in his chest, growing more uneasy.Luke thought of Roy, whom Sam had mentioned, and remembered the genuine smile on Dexie's face when she saw him earlier that day. It was a natural smile.Roy even stepped out of the car to help Dexie with her seatbelt.

Luke Huxley was nowhere in sight as the city prepared to go to sleep. She waited and waited. When she grew tired of waiting, she would fall asleep. However, even after she woke up, he still hadn't come home. Day after day, she waited, but in the end, all she received was a divorce settlement from him. Even though all these events had passed, she could still vividly recall them whenever she found herself alone.The two people she trusted the most had ruthlessly betrayed her. One of them was her father. In her previous life, she had believed he would always support her unconditionally, but he wanted to harm her for having an illegitimate child.The other was the man she thought she could love for a lifetime, without any regrets. However, he despised her so much that he didn't even acknowledge her when she was on the brink of death. His last act of kindness was to pick up her lifeless body. A sudden chill ran down her spine as she curled up in a corner of the co

“Last night, I dreamt that you were in a car accident, and you left me... You left me forever."Even though it was just a dream, it had never felt so real to Luke Huxley before. It was as if the scene had unfolded before his eyes. When he thinks about it now, the stabbing pain in his heart still feels intense.His voice shook as he spoke. "I wanted to look for you, but I searched all night and couldn't find you."Thank God, thank God. It's just a dream."A hot tear rolled down the corner of his eye, and he hugged Dexie even tighter.Dexie's entire body tensed when she heard Luke Huxley say, "I dreamed you were in a car accident."

She didn't know why Luke Huxley had done that. Was it because of the dream he had?He said that he had dreamed that she had died in a car accident, so he ran to her at midnight to find her, without worrying about his own health. Dexie still didn't believe that Luke Huxley really had feelings for her at this point in her life, so her reactions were drastically different from her past life.Instead of not believing it, she didn't dare to believe it.How could someone who had fought in darkness dare to look at the light of hope?Dexie stood next to Luke Huxley's bed and stared into his face for a long time. She then raised her foot to leave, but the moment she turned around, a potent force grabbed her hand.“Don't go, honey. Please don't leave. We've been together for two years. Why are you really going to leave me, dear?" Dexie pleaded, looking at Luke Huxley's tightly gripped hand. She raised her head and met Luke Huxley's pa

However, now she was adamant about not leaving Narda to act insincerely in front of Luke Huxley.Narda's expression hardened at Marilyn's response. She then defended herself weakly, "Marilyn, that's not what I meant. I'm simply concerned about Luke Huxley."What if we don't hurry? Miss Hansley leaves, and something happens to Luke Huxley.""What could happen to him? Do you think the nurses here are neglecting their duties?" Marilyn scoffed, questioning Narda's motives. "I think you just want to stir up trouble," she added.Narda's eyes welled up at Marilyn's remarks. "Marilyn, have I ever offended you? Why do you have to think of me like that?" She then looked pleadingly at Luke Huxley, hoping he would come to her defense. However, he appeared lost in his own world, savoring the unappetizing toast as if it w

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th

Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.

Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would

As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
