Under the dimly lit sky, the sound of waves crashing filled the air. However, this didn't affect Liam's singing."Beneath the stars, the sea does sway,An unexpected meeting, in the breeze, did play.Beyond the deep blue, where love holds power,How to confess, under the starry bower?"Surprisingly, Liam's singing wasn't bad. On the contrary, because of his hoarse voice, it was rather unique and pleasant.In Liam's song, he sang about their entire journey—from meeting and getting to know each other, to falling in love. Initially, Liam thought he would only marry Carol, whom he didn't love, to repay her for saving his life. But unexpectedly, Lana barged into his life.He remembered how familiar Lana's voice was when he first met her. And when Lana secretly helped him heal his eyes, his shock upon seeing Lana for the first time was indescribable.At that moment, he only had one thought—how could she be so cruel to herself? He had only wanted her to appear unattractive in front o
Lana, Marcel, and the other medical staff members were shocked to see the condition of the placenta when they opened up Marion's belly. Marion was suffering from a rare placental inversion issue. Only several cases of this condition had been recorded thus far. Normally, patients with this issue would experience massive blood loss during labor. Moreover, the person who was actually losing blood would be the baby instead of the mother. This issue could be potentially life-threatening. Furthermore, these occurrences were mostly undetectable through regular check-ups or even ultrasound scans. "Lana! Mr. Marcel! I can't thank you two enough!" Devon clutched Lana's and Marcel's hands tightly and expressed his gratitude. "President Quinn, I think the person you should feel the most thankful for is your wife." For the past few months, Marion had been through a lot of hardships as she tried to help realize Devon's dream of becoming a father. Women were prone to more risks when t
Since Liam offered to drive, Marcel and Lana took his car to visit the residence Liam had prepared for Marcel early in the morning the next day. Lana was rather surprised to find that the house was located near the Garrison Villa. The Garrison Villa was only a few meters drive up the mountain where both houses were built. The house Liam had purchased was not too big. However, it was built in beautiful, traditional Zanteles design. The part of the house Marcel liked the most was the yard, which boasted a view of the mountains. The green landscape and beautifully constructed fish pond in the yard were all plus points to Marcel. Even though Marcel had not made any comments, the others could tell how much he liked the yard as he kept checking out the place. "Huh? That leaf pattern …" Marcel appeared to have spotted something under a huge rock beside the pond. He strode toward the spot. Crouching down next to the rock, Marcel's eyes were glistening as he stared at a plant with
"They say don't judge a book by its cover. Madam Violet has always been very kind to her. How could she do something like this?" "She's the prime example of a cold-blooded person, huh?" "Good heavens! Why are you all still standing here? Call the police! There's been an attempted murder on Madam Violet!"For a brief moment, the maids were at a loss for what to do. Cherry was still hunched over Violet's body, bawling her eyes out. Emilia stepped forward at that moment. She calmly instructed the maids to clean up the mess and call the police. Then, she returned to Cherry's side. "You should stop crying now. I've called for an ambulance." Cherry could not hold back her tears as she took in Violet's colorless face. Violet had showered Cherry with endless love and affection ever since she was still a child. Without Violet, Cherry and her six other siblings would not have been able to go on to achieve so many things in life. Cherry could feel her heart bleed as she thought abo
"As a Kane, how could you always be so small-minded? You never bothered thinking things through. In the past, I thought you were simply naïve. Yet, I know now that you're just dumb." Liam continued, "You refuse to believe someone who's made countless sacrifices for the Kane family for three years without asking for anything in return. Instead, you choose to trust the words of someone you barely know. Are you sure you're sane?" Liam's words rendered Cherry speechless. As she had calmed down for a bit, Cherry finally noticed the strangeness of this whole incident. Firstly, there should be some sort of conflict or friction between those two for Lana to want Violet dead. However, Violet and Lana shared an unexpectedly close friendship despite the huge difference in their age. There was no apparent reason for Lana to want to harm Violet. Moreover, people would normally try to hurt another person to gain some type of benefit or advantage. However, with how wealthy Lana was, she d
Today, Hector attended a birthday banquet organized in honor of an old friend.Upon his punctual arrival at the hotel where the celebration was held, he engaged in warm exchanges with friends.However, amidst the festivities, he couldn't ignore the subtle whispers and discreet pointing happening behind his back.Being no stranger to the two-faced nature of this social circle, Hector initially shrugged off the murmurs. He attributed them to the commonplace gossip that often accompanied such gatherings.Nevertheless, the ambiance underwent a sudden shift with Danny's entrance.As Danny conversed with others, his occasional glances and sly smirks directed at Hector carried an unmistakable blend of teasing, condescension, and sarcasm, grating on Hector's nerves.Ever since their heated argument and the subsequent end of their friendship, Hector and Danny, once inseparable, had actively steered clear of each other.Their unexpected reunion today, after the turbulent fallout from thei
Liam and Freya relentlessly tried to help Hector regain consciousness. The instant Hector opened his eyes, his initial words echoed through the room, "I can't imagine Lana committing such a deed."In the intricate web of trust between the Kane and Garrison families, who, other than Cherry, genuinely harbored suspicions about Lana's capacity for such a heinous act?"Grandpa! Seriously, I can't wrap my head around it either!" Liam blurted out.Hector, caught off guard by Liam's agreement, jumped out of bed. "You're with me on this? Then why haven't you busted Lana out of that place?"She must be scared out of her mind in that detention center, all alone."The mere thought of Lana's distress behind bars brought tears to Hector's eyes."My poor Lana. Please, all of you, get her out of there quickly!"Liam tenderly helped him to get out of bed, offering a calm perspective. "Grandpa, we're in an era that prioritizes justice."The most effective course of action is to gather evidenc
Meanwhile, Liam wrapped up his meeting and swiftly made his way to the hospital. Stepping into the ward, he found Darla sternly reproaching Cherry."Your words are nothing but your opinions, and it's not a good look."Flaunting that arrogance in front of me? The Kane family doesn't tolerate those who forget kindness and resort to malice," Darla asserted."Darla, even after what Lana did to Grandma, why are you still defending her?" Cherry retorted.Darla's voice rose in intensity, "Hey, let's leave it to the police to figure out if Lana had any hand in Grandma's situation, alright?"And about sending Lana's parents packing and tagging Emilia as the new daughter-in-law—who gave you the authority for that move? If Lee catches wind of this, any guesses on what your fate might be?"A flicker of worry crossed Cherry's face at the mention of Liam's name. "Darla, please don't tell Lee about this."Darla countered sharply, "Even if I didn't tell him, do you genuinely believe he'll never
