There was a scream from the surroundings, and doctors came to examine, but they all only said one sentence.
"There was no need for rescue."
Randy was ice-cold all over until Elyse's body was brought into the morgue, and only then did he snap out of such chaos.
The nanny at home called and asked when he would return.
He pressed the answer button, but he felt his throat being squeezed, unable to say a word.
He didn't know how he drove home, he felt very cold and tired all over.
Entering the entrance, he lowered his head and quietly changed his shoes, when he heard Lena's voice.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Lena sat in the hall, and there was a gift box on the coffee table, which was supposed to be her birthday present.
Lena had originally left, but then she came back, thinking that it would be better to give him the gift in person when he turned twenty.
But I didn't expect to wait until now, and in another hour,
Randy suddenly buried his head in the steering wheel, his tone somewhat mocking."Lena, do you think that Elyse was an extremely selfish person in your eyes, not worth me doing anything for her?"Lena stopped talking, and even though Elyse had her shining points, it didn't change the fact that she was indeed selfish.Randy seemed a bit tired, his mouth twitched, "Forget it, you can go down."Lena felt a wave of sadness and at that moment, she didn't feel like continuing the conversation with him. She simply opened the car door and walked out.Randy said that there were people waiting for her below, but she continued walking forward for several hundred meters without encountering anyone. Instead, footsteps could be heard behind her.She turned around and what she saw was Randy.He followed quietly, but he followed from a distance.The scene was like when he disappeared in the snow, and she went to look for him that day. Both of
He entered the room and realized that Elyse's living space was actually a toilet. Inside, he couldn't even stretch his legs. By now, her parents had already thrown out things like blankets, leaving only a small bed frame. On the highest window next to it, there was a row of her belongings.If her parents were taller, it is estimated that these things would have been thrown out.The couple saw Randy running around in the room and immediately became anxious. They quickly grabbed the broom nearby and rushed towards him."Who are you, after all?! Get out of our house immediately, is it that bitch Elyse who bribed you to come and deal with us?! Get out! Get out!""That little bastard was probably scared off by us, so he didn't dare to come back. Haha, did you think we would be afraid of you? We still beat him!"Randy's current state was off. He swept away everything blocking his path in front of him and then tiptoed to grab the things on Elyse's window
"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
After Lena finished eating, before leaving, she hesitated and asked, "Can you lend me some money first?"Joanna took a deep breath and said, "The cufflinks you gave to Hayden last week cost 32,000 dollars, and now you're telling me you don't have any money?"Lena scratched her cheek sheepishly and explained, "I borrowed money from someone to pay for hospital bills yesterday. Um, I'll repay you in the future."Joanna transferred 1,600 dollars to Lena, patted her shoulder, and said, "Your family has been restricting your expenses for quite a while, and you like to save all your money to buy gifts for Hayden, and even please his relatives. Forget it, it's useless to say more. You don't have to return this money. If you don't have a place to stay tonight, you can continue to come here."Lena felt touched.Now that she had decided to work at the Reid Group, she needed to go back to her own home to find documents like her ID card.When she arrived at the Dawson family's house, she felt a bi

Randy suddenly buried his head in the steering wheel, his tone somewhat mocking."Lena, do you think that Elyse was an extremely selfish person in your eyes, not worth me doing anything for her?"Lena stopped talking, and even though Elyse had her shining points, it didn't change the fact that she was indeed selfish.Randy seemed a bit tired, his mouth twitched, "Forget it, you can go down."Lena felt a wave of sadness and at that moment, she didn't feel like continuing the conversation with him.

Randy stood by the bedside, raised his hand to rub her head, but his hand froze in mid-air and didn't come down for a while.Elyse didn't notice his actions, she just cried to herself, grabbing her hair with both hands, as if clutching a handful of dry straw.He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.At that moment, he felt like a jerk.He turned and walked out, going to the smoking area in the hospital where he smoked two cigarettes, watching people coming and going outside, feeling that this world was so unreal.The phone rang at this moment, it was Lena calling."Randy, I just delivered a gift to your house. The nanny said you were not there. Today is your birthday, happy birthday."The gift was chosen by her and Joanna together, so it should have pleased him.In the evening, she went shopping with Joanna. She couldn't spend New Year's Eve alone.Randy extinguished the cigarette in his hand. In fact, he didn't
When Randy arrived at the place, he realized that Elyse was covered in bruises and even her clothes were torn.She leaned against a hidden spot and cried, her eyes swollen. When she heard footsteps, she huddled up, until Randy's voice sounded."Elyse?"Elyse shrank back, raising her head in disbelief, her eyes filled with a strong will to survive."Randy, save me, I didn't want to die yet! Save me, my child, save the child."Randy frowned and, without having time to ask her what had happened, he picked her up and placed her directly onto the car.But Elyse's spirits were clearly not very good, and she couldn't help but tremble at the slightest sound.When she was being taken to the hospital, she absolutely refused to go in with the doctor, gripping the door frame with both hands.Randy only then noticed that almost all of her nails had broken.It hurt just to look at it."Randy, save me, you're the only one I can
Her eyes were red with hatred, her fingernails tightly gripping the ground, but they broke, leaving behind a string of crimson marks.She would not let Lena go, if she could stay alive.If she could have lived!*Lena drove back to Randy's mansion and asked around the servants, only to find out that he had not returned.She started to worry, just as she was about to call the police, she saw Randy walking in from outside.There was nothing happening.She took a deep breath and asked him, "Where did you go? Do you know that Elyse is looking for you, and what does that text message you sent mean?"Randy didn't expect her to be there, a hint of surprise crossed his eyes, with some confusion, "What message?"Lena also guessed that perhaps it was Elyse who sent it using his phone."Not a big deal, where did you go? You didn't even bring your phone."Randy was changing his shoes at the entrance, his tone was very
Elyse was terrified and frozen in fear. She had already messaged Lena using Randy's phone, in order to coordinate with Joanna and lure Lena out. But now, she was telling her that Lena had actually taken Randy away directly!Is Lena, this bitch, not planning to pretend anymore and is she going to directly attack Randy?Elyse angrily pushed open the door of the ward and immediately saw Lena.Lena had just arrived and was planning to ask Randy what the message meant.When she saw Elyse, she almost guessed that she might have been tricked. She stood up and was about to leave, but Elyse instantly grabbed her arm."Lena, where on earth did you take Randy? Even though you two are not biologically related, he has been living with you for so many years. You are actually going to kill him!"Lena furrowed her brow, not knowing what this person was saying."Let go."Elyse immediately knelt down on the ground. She was truly afraid that Rand
Chasing after him for five years, now telling him that it was all a play, he couldn't let go.He hated Lena, but deep inside, he couldn't deceive himself, and unconsciously, he actually loved her.Loved her the most.Lillian was still chattering away, but Hayden rubbed his wrist and didn't pay attention to her.He only thought, if in the future Lena had no one by her side, her career was ruined, she lost her friends, and even her brother left, and that so-called mysterious boyfriend turned out to be unreliable, then should she try to come and rely on him?Only by destroying everything of hers, would she stay by his side.When Lillian arrived at the Reid family's old mansion, she had already made all the preparations.Cayden was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with the butler standing next to him, creating a serious atmosphere."Lillian, do you know why I called you over today?"Lillian's eyes lit up, and she imme
When Cayden heard that Hunter was getting closer to Lena, the smile on Cayden's face faded slightly, but he still said, "Hunter, that child never lies. If he says he doesn't like Lena, then he doesn't like her. From childhood to now, he has never liked anything. Maybe it's just not the right time for them to meet."Anthony slowly placed a photo on the table.This was the party where Lena sat on Hunter's lap, and there was a photo of them kissing.Even the photos were there, indicating that he had made preparations before coming."Sir Reid, Hunter has grown up and may have his own ideas now. If Matilda were still here, their children could be running around by now. Unfortunately, as an elder, I shouldn't be concerned with Lena, who is a distant relative of the Wright family. However, because she lost one, I have to care, no matter how broad-minded I am. Hunter is a child I have watched grow up, and I don't want him to go astray."Families valued the
