After Tamara heard that, she felt stunned. When she saw the disapproving look on Cheryl’s face, she hesitated for a moment before saying, “Aunt Cheryl, Sebastian had nothing to do with what happened.”Cheryl looked suspicious. She furrowed her brows slightly and seemed incredibly frustrated, yet she did not say anything else.She reasoned that people who were deeply in love would lose all sense of rationale. Cheryl couldn’t criticize Tamara too harshly, or it would have the opposite effect.However, Cheryl had a feeling that this was all merely the calm before the storm.Tamara and Sebastian still had a long way to go. If they were to encounter any trouble ahead, would everything resolve as it did this time?Cheryl sighed inwardly.…At this moment, someone pushed open the ward’s door. Sebastian’s tall figure strolled in.Upon seeing him, Cheryl and Tamara were taken aback.Tamara went up to him and asked, “Why are you here?”Sebastian caught a glimpse of Caleb sleeping on th
Tamara was rendered speechless.Her fair complexion tinged red as she punched Sebastian’s chest playfully. “Sebastian, stop joking around. Caleb’s still sick, you know.”Sebastian’s expression was cold, yet his gaze was meaningful as he said, “I’m being serious.”Tamara didn’t know how to respond.Sebastian was honestly such a pain sometimes.She turned away and decided to ignore him. She fixed her gaze on Caleb and checked his temperature from time to time. After the IV drip ran dry, she called for a nurse to get a new one.Caleb’s fever finally broke around seven in the morning. Tamara and Sebastian heaved out sighs of relief.Sebastian instructed someone to send them breakfast. Caleb woke up a few moments later and looked much healthier.“Caleb, do you still feel ill?” Tamara asked softly while sitting next to him.Caleb shook his head. He was still sporting a red flush on his cheeks. “Mommy, I feel a lot better. I’m just a little sleepy.”“That’s good. Here, come eat some
Cheryl glared at Jonathan dully. “The sign’s no big deal, is it?”Jonathan stuttered, “I…I know what to do. I’ll take care of it myself. I don’t need your help!”With that, he hurried over to the greenhouse.Cheryl snorted, then walked over, only to find Jonathan holding two washboards. “Darling, which of these do you think looks better?”…Tamara slept for a short time before waking up. She had some unfinished business to attend to. She went outside after washing up and called Sebastian.“Hello?”“Where’s Joanne?” Tamara asked softly.Sebastian was stunned. Then, he said, “The state she’s in now…you might not want to see her.”Tamara said, “You’ve incapacitated her?”Sebastian made a noise, indicating that he did.She cocked a brow. “How do you plan to relay what happened to the Custry family?”Sebastian chuckled lowly. “Worried about me?”Tamara hummed. “I’m worried that they’ll trouble you.”“Don’t worry.” Sebastian said in a deep voice, “I’ll send you her location. Do
Sandy paled after hearing that. Her lips trembled as she stared into Sebastian’s cold eyes. She felt as if she had just been thrown into cold water.Sebastian knew!The car crash from four years ago had been orchestrated by Joanne in order to kill him. Sandy couldn’t believe that Sebastian knew about it!How did he find out?Sandy only knew about Joanne’s plans to kill Sebastian a lot later.She was furious when she found out and scolded Joanne.Joanne defended herself by saying, “I was just worried that you guys wouldn’t want me anymore after finding your biological son. I didn’t want to lose you guys. I was just scared…”Joanne had sobbed her heart out at the time. Unable to bear seeing her cry, Sandy decided to forgive her.She even helped Joanne cover up her tracks so Sebastian couldn’t find anything.She thought she had done a good job, but who knew that Sebastian would end up finding out anyway?Sandy felt a chill in her heart. She couldn’t find anything to say.Sebast
Tamara was taken aback. She stared at the bodyguard for a moment and wondered if Jerome had been the one to teach him to address her that way.The bodyguard did not understand her curious gaze. “Young Mrs. Lynch?”“It’s nothing. Let’s head inside, then.” Tamara retracted her gaze.She felt exasperated, but she knew there was no use saying anything about it. She knew that the bodyguards would stick to addressing her that way.Upon entering the room, there was a strong scent of blood.Tamara’s brows furrowed at that. The people inside turned toward her and greeted her loudly, “Welcome, Young Mrs. Lynch!”Tamara was rendered speechless.She walked inside and saw a haggard figure covered with blood. It was Joanne.Joanne had been subjected to ongoing torture, but she was still alive. Her shoulder wound had been treated, but the blood all over her made her look pitiful.The bodyguard said, “Young Mrs. Lynch, if you feel ill looking at her in this state, we can get her cleaned up. W
Upon seeing Tamara, Helena greeted her kindly. “Miss Moore.”Tamara cocked an eyebrow. “Why are you being so nice to me? Did something happen?”Helena looked embarrassed. “Let’s chat inside.”Tamara nodded with a smile, then walked into the dessert shop with her. The shop was filled with a sweet, fragrant scent. It smelled terrific.In the private room, Helena passed the menu to Tamara and asked, “What desserts do you like? Pick anything you want. My treat.”Tamara looked at her curiously. “Just tell me what this is all about.”“Well, you said it yourself last time. You told me to look into what happened all those years ago, then apologize. I didn’t believe you at first, but after the investigation, I realized that I really do owe you an apology. I’m sorry for wrongfully blaming you,” Helena said with sincerity. Now that she had kept her talons to herself, she seemed to turn soft and docile, like a little kitten. She was a far cry from the obnoxious, arrogant person she had once
Helena was taken aback. “Mom, what are you talking about? Calm down. Why are you so worked up?”Selena tightened her grip on Helena’s hand, and the hatred in her eyes intensified. However, she could not get herself to recount what had happened to her over the past few days!Tamara, that bitch, had instructed five men to lock her up in that villa for two whole days!Two days had almost broken her spirit.However, what was more humiliating was that she had ended up enjoying every moment of it!Selena felt guilty and did not want to let Helena or her husband, Paul Custry, know what had happened.Helena would definitely be embarrassed by her!Paul would definitely beat her to death.“Nothing. Nothing happened. I just…” Selena hurriedly retracted her thoughts and loosened her grip on Helena. Then, she got up and walked upstairs.“Mom, what’s wrong?” Helena trailed after her.Selena was acting in a very peculiar way. She had just called for Tamara’s death moments before. What posse
“Hello, who’s this?”“Tammy, it’s me!” Margot’s voice could be heard through the phone.Tamara’s eyes brightened. “Margot, what are you doing? Are you on the island?”Margot seemed to be whispering as if on purpose. “I am, but the island is strictly guarded. I’m not allowed to bring my phone with me. This will be the last phone call from me to you for now. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve arrived safely. Oh, by the way, I saw James! He’s on the same island!”James Gladwell?Tamara was taken aback. When she inquired about Jessica’s whereabouts in the past, she found out that the property she was on had belonged to James.After that incident, he didn’t cross her mind at all. His matters did not involve her, after all.However, James had also turned up on the island with the curses!Tamara suddenly had a bad feeling about this, but the feeling was quick to dissipate.“Margot, make sure to be extra careful on that island. Come home as soon as you can,” Tamara nagged, unable
