At this moment, tears streamed down his face and he cried sadly. Zion was no longer the proud self he used to be. Upon seeing him like this, the little girl reached out her hands and she gently patted him on the shoulder. Zion raised his head and he saw the little girl smiling upon him. Then, she took out a piece of melted chocolate from her pocket. The little girl carried it like a rare treasure in her hands, and she hesitated for a moment before handing it over to Zion. Zion knew that the piece of chocolate was her only precious thing, and it might even be her final life-saving item. He didn't know whether he should take it or not. But Zion was indeed very hungry.? If he was at home during this time, his grandmother would definitely have someone prepared a delicious meal for him and Rita.? But now, Zion suddenly felt a sense of guiltiness upon looking at the chocolate.?? The life he had led in the past was completely different fro
"Looking at the shrewd expression of the manager, Nathaniel couldn't help but sneer, ""Really? Coach Barnes gave my wife a name card and he wanted to recruit my son into the shooting club. Well, now I'm here to take a look at the place. Manager, please show me the way.""" "After that, Nathaniel entered directly. " The manager suddenly became wary of him. "Mr. Ye, there's no one here today. Everyone has gone out. If you want to visit the place, why don't you come again another time?" "Who gives you the rights to disobey my orders? Do I still have to wait for another day? Sir, you've gone too far." The manager felt pressured upon hearing his words. "No...no! That's not what I meant. Why don't you wait a moment, Mr. Ye? I'll get someone to arrange it right away." "It's fine, I'm just looking around." Nathaniel pushed the manager away as he made his way through. "The manager broke out in a cold sweat. Then, he hinted at the staff bes
"Zion watched helplessly as Nathaniel left the club. Despite being anxious, he couldn't do anything." "Meanwhile, the little girl beside him had been crying voicelessly. It seemed like she was either frightened or it might have been because of other reasons. " "Surprisingly, Zion had a strong desire to protect her." "She was the one who had been keeping him safe when he first entered the room. Even though Zion had no idea why she was crying, he still moved a little closer towards her." "Zion knew that this wasn't much of help, but that was the only thing he could do at the moment." "However, the girl didn't notice his small movement and she was immersed in her inexplicable sadness." "On the other hand, the guards at the basement finally let out a sigh of relief." He's finally gone. "Yeah, just let them be. The two children, one was dead and another one being taken away have nothing to do with the Ye family. So what even if they find out a
Mango and Nathaniel were stunned. Wisdom's statement had given them a huge shock. "They knew better than anyone on how Wisdom had gotten back, but what did the child mean by saying that?" Wisdom didn't look at them. He just hid in Madam Ye's arms while crying his eyes out. "Seeing that both Mango and Nathaniel were completely unmoved, or perhaps they were stunned by the sudden disclosure, Madam Ye couldn't help but yell angrily, ""What are you waiting for? Go and look for Zion! If he is taken away by the traffickers, god knows how badly it will turn out. How dare you guys still be at ease!""" "Nathaniel immediately came to his senses and he said to Mango, ""You stay with Mom. I'll send someone to look for him.""" "Then, he ran out at the speed of light while staggering. " "Upon seeing this, Nick's eyebrow slightly wrinkled." "While they were at the shooting club, he didn't quite believe it when Nathaniel said that the children went to th
Haven't you heard of it? "Nick looked at Mango in surprise. Then, he said apologetically, ""Geez, look what I've done! Nathan definitely didn't want you to worry and I shouldn't have said it. It's nothing, so just ignore my words earlier.""" "After that, Nick turned around and he was about to leave. " "Just then, Mango grabbed his hand. " What the hell is going on? Tell me clearly. "Mango knew that it might be one of Nick's scheming plans, but she had no other choice as this matter was related to Zion. Despite that, she still had to be cautious. " "Nick pretended to be flustered before saying, ""Mango, since Nathan has no intention of telling you, I won't be taking the blame if anything happens to you.""" "What could happen to me? Tell me quickly, what happened to Zion?" Mango was in a bundle of nerves. Her nervous reaction was exactly what Nick wanted. "Then, a cunning look flashed across his eyes. " "Mango, everythin
"Watch out, Mr. Ye!" "At the crucial moment, those subordinates finally arrived." "Upon witnessing such a dangerous scene, they immediately reminded Nathaniel. Yet, he couldn't hear anything due to the impact earlier." "Nathaniel frowned and he instinctively sensed the danger behind him. He then immediately squatted down. In the nick of time, the bullet flew past his ear, leaving a trace of blood behind. " Nathaniel covered his ears in pain and his gaze suddenly turned cold. It seemed that Nick was indeed trying to kill him! "Then, he rolled to the side while avoiding the shots that were blasting from behind. " "Nathaniel's group of people immediately fought against the opponents, and it didn't take too long for them to be subdued. However, the enemies refused to expose the mastermind behind the scheme to Nathaniel no matter what. " "Upon seeing their faithful attitude towards their boss, Nathaniel knew that he couldn't gain any clues fro
"Zion couldn't fall asleep, and Gissel was the same as well." She looked at Zion before using sign language to convey her concern. Gissel wanted to know what was wrong with him. "Zion smiled but he didn't say anything. Instead, he shook his head as a response. " The two of them snuggled up and they remained half-asleep throughout the night. "Soon, it was six o'clock in the morning, and they were awakened by the sound of whip cracking. " "This time, no one was there to protect Zion, and he experienced the feeling of being beaten up by the lash on his bare skin. " The pain was aching and stinging. Zion's tender skin was flogged forcefully and his body was streaked with blood. "He gritted his teeth in pain, and tears welled up in his eyes. However, Zion refused to back down and he held back his tears silently. " He would surely take revenge on these people one day! Get up! Hurry up! We're going out! They weren't treated
"Zion was undoubtedly feeling excited. Meanwhile, the child continued to scribble on the ground, ""However, those things are spoilt and impaired. They were thrown inside because it's no longer useful. In the past, I heard that the room used to be a warehouse. It's just that we couldn't see what's inside while we're locked up. But last time I found something like this while I'm being locked inside, and I secretly brought it out. Yet, I don't know where it is now.""" "Seeing the words written by the child, Zion frowned slightly, but he was very optimistic." "It doesn't matter. As long as we have this stuff, I can find a way to get everyone out of here. But I also need a lighter." "Zion needed a bit of light to find the items in the dark room. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for him to do it. " "Upon seeing the tragic death of the other two children recently, everyone was even more eager to escape. They rekindled a glimmer of hope after seeing Zion's positive attitu
Emberly had finally calmed Eugene down, while the Ye family was decorated with many things. For the first time, Zion felt nervous. This kind of nervousness was neither on the battlefield nor on the sea of merchants. To get married, he was so nervous that he was as stiff as a stick. He felt that he was very embarrassing, but he did not care. As long as he could marry his bride, nothing else mattered. "Zion, it's okay for you to be nervous now. Don't be as nervous as you are now when you meet Evangeline later." As Louis spoke, he was slapped away by Zion. Lucas raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him gloatingly. Zion was very concerned about his proposal to Evangeline. Even the Mo family sent gifts over. Evangeline never thought that one day she would really meet her beloved man who wanted to marry her. She was very happy. Emily was already engaged to a grandson of an Elder of the Cabinet. The other party's charac
"Evangeline!" Zion hugged her tightly like a child. Her strength made Evangeline feel a little pain, but she didn't say anything. This man. In the past, she had always felt that he was indifferent and distant, as if he was not a human being. But now, she knew that once this man became enthusiastic, he was very passionate. She felt warm in her heart. "I'm here. Don't be afraid." Evangeline's voice trembled. No one knew how it felt to be trapped in the ice storeroom. But now, these words could only make Zion worried. "Maximilian is handled with?" "Yes." "This kind of thing won't happen again in the future. You won't allow it, nor will I. So, Zion, don't feel guilty and don't blame yourself. People have to face a lot of accidents in the world. I can't guarantee that you will be with me every time an accident comes, but I will try my best to reduce the harm to myself and the child." Evangeline held Zion's face and said
Wisdom sent a question mark to Zion alone, but he didn't reply after waiting for a long time. Feeling uneasy, he asked Kate to close the door and windows at home and drove to the hospital. Zion had been keeping an eye on Evangeline, and his phone was not by his side. Zion only had eyes for her. However, Zion was confused why Wisdom was here. "Brother, why are you here again?" Wisdom finally relaxed when he saw that Zion was fine. "How is Evangeline?" "Her breathing is much steadier. She should be able to wake up in a few days." Seeing his haggard face, Wisdom couldn't say anything. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "She will be fine. Don't worry too much." "Sure." Everyone knew that this kind of comfort was useless, but it seemed that they didn't know what else to say at this time. Today was Wisdom's wedding night, but Zion's mood was so low that it made people feel sorry for him. Wisdom had never seen Zion s
Kate didn't know where their home was, but she didn't say anything. She just leaned in Wisdom's arms with peace of mind. This man could always give her an inexplicable sense of security, making her feel that she would be happy even if she had a normal life with him. Wisdom took her back to Queensfront Residence. It was not the place where Kate's half-sister used to live. It was not in the downtown area, nor was it a group of villas, but an ordinary house. Kate fell in love with it at once. Queensfront Residence was a closed-off residential area. It was well managed and the price was a little high, but for people like Wisdom, it was affordable. "Do you like it?" Wisdom's words brought Kate back to her senses. The environment here was very good, with green hills and clear waters, which made people feel relaxed. "I like it very much." "A wedding gift for Mrs. Ye." Wisdom's words made Kate slightly stunned. "What do yo
Looking at Nathaniel's expectant eyes, Wisdom finally nodded. After Nathaniel left, Wisdom was a little conflicted. He did not want to make Kate feel wronged. If they stayed, they would definitely want to hold a wedding ceremony together. But if they held a wedding ceremony, Kate's mother's side of family would not come to send blessings at all. At that time, let alone getting married, it would be more troublesome. A woman would only have this chance to wear a wedding dress for the rest of her life. If he could not make Kate get married happily, Wisdom felt that it would be fine if they did not get married. But in the current situation, if they didn't get married, everyone would be worried and felt wronged by him. When Kate came back, she happened to see Wisdom frowning and looking worried. She couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" "No." Looking at Kate's thin face because of taking care of himself, Wisdom's hear
"Sorry, the Ye family didn't take good care of Evangeline to put her in danger." Nathaniel opened his mouth immediately. Eugene's heart ached for his daughter. Seeing her like this, he was actually very angry. Ever since she was young, this girl seemed to be like she was drugged by Zion. No one was interesting to her, and no one was worthy of her attention. She chased after Zion all the time. But if he really wanted to blame anyone, Eugene actually knew that he couldn't do so. The background of the Ye family was there. From the moment Evangeline decided to fall in love with Zion, he was actually mentally prepared for such a thing. But even if he was well-prepared, as a father, he still could not see his daughter like this. Eugene was silent for a long time. Since he didn't speak, Nathaniel naturally didn't speak either. At this time, no matter what choice the Sanchez family made, he had no choice. Because of the Ye family's negligen
"Evangeline! Allegra!" Zion quickly searched and shouted. Evangeline had already heard Zion's voice, and Allegra was already in a coma. Her little face was blue and purple, and she curled up in Evangeline's arms. Her face and hands were covered with frost, and Evangeline was not much better. She wanted to respond to Zion's call, but she couldn't. She was so tired and sleepy. As long as she held on a little longer, she would be able to see Zion. This thought kept echoing in Evangeline's mind, but her eyelids were getting heavier, and she couldn't stand it anymore. In the end, Evangeline held Allegra tightly and fell into the ice. When Zion found them, their bodies were as cold as if they were devoid of warmth. His heart almost stopped beating. "Evangeline! Evangeline, wake up!" Zion picked them up and ran out of the room, but his eyes were red and moist. For the first time, he felt scared. He was afraid
"Where are they?" Zion went crazy. If what Maximilian said was true that Evangeline and Allegra were not here, wouldn't it be a waste of time for him to be here for such a long time? Thinking that Evangeline and the others might lose their chances of being saved due to this delay, Zion couldn't stay calm anymore. However, Maximilian was a lunatic at this time. Seeing that Zion was anxious and crazy, he was overjoyed. Ignoring the pain and scars on his body, he laughed wildly. "Zion, you're also like this today! Hahaha! I just want you to experience this helpless feeling of being capable but unable to save them. Are you very devastated now? Do you really want to kill me? Do you feel that you're particularly useless? So what if the Ye family is rich? So what if you're capable? You're also going to watch your wife and children lose their vitality little by little. Hahaha!" Maximilian's laughter made Zion's eyes turn red, but he really didn't
Evangeline had always thought that she was good at martial arts and rarely was played by others. She didn't expect that she would fall into a trap when she was in the Ye family, where she thought it was absolutely a safe place. When she was playing with Allegra, she smelled a sweet smell, but she was not aware of it. She thought that the servants were doing air processing, but she did not expect that the sweet smell was getting stronger and stronger. In the end, she felt a little dizzy, and then she realized that someone had drugged her. At this time, Evangeline intended to run out with Allegra in her arms, but Allegra's physical quality was not as good as hers. When she noticed, Allegra muttered, "Mommy, I am so sleepy." After that, she fainted directly in her arms. Evangeline knew that something was going to happen, so she quickly went to find her mobile phone. But because she was playing with Allegra, her coat was placed in the hall outside. She could only hold All
