Lena had been staying in the hospital until evening. She hadn't been sleeping well recently and couldn't resist lying down by the bed and fell asleep like that.
Three hours later, she was awakened by the doctor.
"Ms. Dawson, you go back and rest first. Don't wait until your brother wakes up and you collapse."
Lena's eyelids had dark circles, and she rubbed her eyes upon hearing the words.
"Did his high fever not go down?"
The doctor sighed and said, "Considering his own fate, perhaps there are some things he himself cannot understand, which is why he is like this. As family members, you can talk to him more."
But she had no idea what Randy's knot was.
She got up and, after returning home, was extremely tired and fell asleep right away.
But in the middle of the night, she always felt like she heard a sound outside the window.
She got up, turned on the nearby light, and saw a strange man leaning on her house window, holdin
Jovanni opened the car door and sat inside. Because the weather was too cold, the breath he exhaled was all white. He lowered his eyelashes, not knowing what he was thinking.Lena sat in the driver's seat, but she didn't start the car right away.She had felt several times recently that someone was following her, but she didn't know if it was just her imagination.She leaned back and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioning in the car. "Where is your brother Gael? Why did you come out alone?"And in the middle of the night, he even followed her. What on earth was going on?Jovanni looked out of the window, and in his mind, he recalled the scene of being kidnapped that day.The man, of course, didn't actually kill him and Gael, but Gael was detained.Gael has always been the calmest one, while Jovanni is different, he had a more volatile temper and has always been very outspoken.Although they were not blood brothers, he
Lena squinted her eyes and curved her lips, "So, Owen, did you know?"Since Jovanni was following her, he should have been familiar with her recent whereabouts.He indeed pursed his lips and said, "I know.""Was it him who arranged the person I had to deal with tonight?""No, it was Kianna."Lena lowered her eyelashes and said, "Kianna, that was easy to deal with."She took out her phone and sent Kianna a few strongly emotional text messages using the previous number. Kianna indeed agreed to meet up.Lena couldn't help but laugh. With a mind like that, if it weren't for her last name being Wright, she would have probably been eaten up and left with nothing but crumbs.She was about to drive away when Jovanni instantly caught up, "Why are you going alone?""I went to meet Kianna to see why she had this inexplicable hatred towards me, and I wanted to find out if Lillian had anything to do with it."Jovanni opened th
Kianna's lips were trembling, her eyes were turning red, and the words she spoke were slightly broken."You made my boyfriend get exiled by Jordan, and you ruined his whole life. I never expected that the owner of this number would be you, which means that all of this was planned by you! Lena, I hate you so much!"Her eyes were filled with hatred, but she reluctantly stepped back in fear of the dagger in Lena's hand.Lena squatted on the ground, looking into her eyes, "Did you really not contact Lillian?"Kianna's face changed, how could she not have contacted Lillian.Lena wanted to ask a few more questions, but she faintly saw a person standing below the small building, as if they had just come out.It was Mr. H.She quickly got up, and at the same time threw the dagger back into the car, and instructed Jovanni."You keep an eye on her, I'll go talk to Mr. H."Jovanni also noticed the man standing several meters away.
"Ms. Dawson, you still don't remember anything? You've been in the hospital for three days now. We need your family to settle the hospital bill ASAP," the nurse said.Lena Dawson, her head wrapped in bandages, gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry, but I just can't remember my phone's password."The nurse continued, "Do you have an emergency contact?""I..."Lena hadn't even thought of an answer when the door suddenly swung open with a bang. A handsome young man walked in, his face full of impatience."Seriously? Again? What game are you playing this time?" Hayden Reid snapped. "You took Leah out, and then a car accident happened. She could've been disfigured if it weren't for her luck. Listen up, I'm calling off our engagement. Stop trying to get my attention. Even if you threw yourself into a river, I wouldn't give a damn!"Leah Dawson stood right behind him, looking meek.She tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Hayden, I'm really fine. Lena didn't mean it. I'm all healed now. Don't get
After saying that, he wrapped his arms around Leah's waist and left without hesitation.Lena looked at the number on her phone. The man who just claimed to be her fiancé hadn't shown her any concern at all and had stood up for Leah instead.Her heart felt as if it was being tightly constricted by an iron wire, and her face paled even further. An involuntary pain surged within her.Leah seemed to have fully recovered a long time ago, but it was Lena who was condemned despite almost losing her life.How could this man possibly be her fiancé?She had gone missing for three days, and her family had not contacted her. She only remembered a vague impression of her boyfriend.Without hesitation, she dialed the number. A formal, assistant-like voice answered."Ms. Lena?""Hello, is this Hunter? I seem to have lost my memory due to a car accident, and I...""Mr. Hunter has just returned to Westfell and is still undergoing rehabilitation. Ms. Lena, you called Mr. Hunter in the same way last tim
Lena didn't know who to ask for the 3,200 dollars. In the end, at nine o'clock in the evening, she dialed Hunter's number again.A low, hoarse voice rang out from the other end, like snowflakes in the winter."Lena?"Lena's throat felt as if it had been suddenly gripped by an invisible hand, and an overwhelming sense of grievance filled her heart."Hello, Hunter. Can you lend me 3,200 dollars? I'm in the hospital and can't afford the hospital bills."From the phone, there was a faint breathing sound, along with the subtle sound of rustling clothes.Just when Lena thought her request would be rejected, she heard him ask, "What's your account number?""I... I'll go look for it."She quickly grabbed the bag next to her and started searching through it, afraid that Hunter would hang up.The nurse said it was her bag, but there were only cosmetics inside.She finally found a bank card in the innermost compartment and read aloud the card number.In less than a minute, she heard the notifica
Lena took the slap, her head tilting slightly to the side. Her eyes were dull.Leah quickly walked over to Margaret's side to soothe her. "Mom, I'm really fine. There's only 160 thousand dollars on the card. I was afraid Lena would continue spending recklessly like before, so I didn't prepare too much."Lena's throat felt sore. She abruptly opened the door of the taxi parked next to her and said, "Could you please go to..."But she couldn't recall any place names in her mind, so she could only watch the family of four slowly walking inside through the car window.The driver said, "Are they your family or your enemies? You didn't even say anything just now, how did you get slapped? I don't want the money anymore. You can get out of the car now."Tears welled up in Lena's eyes and fell in an instant. She also wanted to ask, were they really family or were they enemies?Leah, who had walked away, held Hayden's hand. There was a trace of pride flickering in her eyes."Mom, Hayden, what if
Lena had grievances she couldn't voice, but seeing Joanna so exhausted, she didn't want to say anything.Joanna placed a new set of pajamas on the bed and said, "There is an en-suite bathroom in your room. You should go and take a shower and rest. I'm so tired today that I won't chat with you anymore."Lena nodded and calmly said, "Thank you."She saw Joanna walking towards one of the bedroom doors and knew that the other room was hers.She grabbed her pajamas and took a shower. Afterward, she finally felt much more comfortable.Just as Lena was about to fall asleep, she received a new message on her phone.When she opened it, she saw that it was from her younger brother, Randy Dawson."Lena, I'm on vacation and just arrived home. Today is Leah's birthday. Why aren't you here? Mom said you ran away from home again. Why are you always acting like this? Come back soon. I can't get used to the food the maid makes. I still prefer the food you make. Tomorrow morning, I'll have mashed potat
Kianna's lips were trembling, her eyes were turning red, and the words she spoke were slightly broken."You made my boyfriend get exiled by Jordan, and you ruined his whole life. I never expected that the owner of this number would be you, which means that all of this was planned by you!

When Lena woke up, it was midnight and she felt like there was a furnace beside her.She quickly got up and reached out to Randy's forehead to check, and he was running a fever!"Randy!"She shouted, but he didn't respond. He had already burnt it to a crisp.Lena quickly dialed the local emergency hotline.But she had to arrive at daybreak, so she continued to add firewood to the bonfire and moved Randy closer.But even in this state, he resisted.He was curled up in a daze, and woke up once in the middle, seeing her probing his forehead, unable to help but ask, "Who are you, after all?"If he hadn't been sick, Lena would have slapped him.She forced herself to calm down and then tore off a piece of fabric to wrap some ice and snow from outside, placing it on his forehead to cool him down.Randy's face was completely red, and his hands were reaching out haphazardly to the side, as if he was trying to touch somethi
As she approached, she fiercely slapped him.Randy's clothes were still hanging nearby, and there were many bruises on his body, indicating that the car accident had injured him, but not to the extent of being life-threatening.His face was intact, but now it swelled up instantly after being slapped, indicating that Lena showed no mercy in her attack.Lena was so angry that she grabbed his thin clothes and pulled him closer."You came all the way to this place to find you, who are you giving a bad attitude to? Speak up! What's the matter after all?"Randy turned his head away and silently stared at a certain spot on the cave wall, tears streaming down "drip, drip".Lena knew her little brother Randy well. If Randy had been wronged, he would have wanted to grab a megaphone and shout in front of her, demanding that she focus more of her energy on him. For example, if he had been humiliated by Mr. H, he would not hesitate to ask her to break up
Lena was not going to let him have his way at this critical moment. She pushed him away and straightened her clothes."I left first."He did not try to stop her either, sitting in place and nodding very obediently.Lena's preferences for men were sometimes strange. She didn't believe that men necessarily had to be strong and powerful, like Mr. H. It was also not a bad thing for him to need her protection.She left and drove away, with her destination set to her hometown on the navigation.It took a long time to drive, and in the meantime, she ate two cookies to satisfy her hunger before arriving.She went to Dashawn's house first, and he was in the yard digging herbs. When he saw her coming, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, and then he realized."Are you Lena?"Lena was a bit unclear about this location. If she hadn't asked along the way, she wouldn't have been able to find it at all.She nodded politely and s
She quickly turned around and walked towards the house.To my surprise, Mr. H had been standing obediently at the entrance, without moving at all. It seemed that he was unaware of the death outside.She took a deep breath and held his face in her hands, comforting him, "Something happened outside, don't go out for now. Is your doctor friend, the one from Wraith Manor?"Mr. H's eyelashes trembled, and his cheek unconsciously rubbed against her palm, showing some attachment. "Hmm.""You called him over, I needed him to help me with something."Since it was Wraith Manor, they should have been proficient in dealing with dead people.Mr. H immediately made a phone call and asked the other party to come over."Lena, why do I feel a smell of blood?"Lena pulled him and sat on the sofa in the hall in the dark. "I accidentally scratched my arm just now, but it's okay."Mr. H remained silent, slowly caressing her fingertips, his t
She stepped on the accelerator, never having driven at such a high speed before.After rushing to the small western-style building outside Mr. H's, she quickly got out of the car and ran towards the inside.The people in those cars probably didn't expect her to stop here, but they also stopped, their faces filled with excitement. This was all Lena's doing. Tonight, she was going to be killed in this place, fulfilling her employer's mission.Lena arrived at the door and entered directly using the password.As soon as she stood still, she was embraced by someone."Mr. H?""Hmm."She raised her hand and patted his back, "Do you have any handy weapons here?""Yes, I had obtained two guns from Wraith Manor earlier, but it was too dangerous, so I never used them."Wraith Manor, a place located in a lawless area, was common to have access to guns.What Lena needs the most right now is this."Okay, you gave me the
