Lana suddenly became anxious. She seemed to know Liam's intention. "Liam, it's none of your business. Don't get involved." However, Liam appeared deaf to her words and continued walking toward Carol. In the face of Liam getting closer, Carol unexpectedly showed slight nervousness. As Liam continued to approach, Carol quickly shifted her body and swiftly tidied her messy hair.She nervously warned him, "Liam, what do you want to do? This is none of your business. I suggest you leave quickly." After all, Liam was the man Carol truly loved but couldn't have. She might disregard the life and death of others, but she still cared about Liam's fate. With his hands held high, Liam's face showed an unprecedented calmness. "If someone has to die with you, then let it be me. Let go of Mrs. Quinn immediately." No one expected that Liam would offer himself in exchange for Mandy's safety. His unexpected decision heightened the already tense atmosphere. All eyes were fixed on Carol.
"Don't do it, Lana!" "Please, for heaven's sake!" In the living room, several people screamed repeatedly. Meanwhile, Liam, disregarding everything, rushed over and kicked at Carol's hand holding the remote control. Carol's wrist ached from the kick, and with her recent health issues, her hand loosened. The remote control instantly fell to the ground. Liam responded quickly. He leaped forward and seized Carol, who was trying to retrieve the remote control. Mandy, Romelius, and Nadia swiftly ran over. Romelius was the first to pick up the remote control, and he headed straight toward the kitchen. He promptly grabbed a knife and broke the remote control with a few quick strokes. It was only then that everyone truly breathed a sigh of relief. However, before everyone could feel relieved, there came a panicked scream from Lana in the living room. "Carol, let go. Please let go of him!" Carol suddenly wielded a fruit knife and ruthlessly stabbed it into Liam's neck. "Let g
Nicholas, Lana, and Marcel personally conducted Liam's surgery. It started at 3:00 pm until 10:00 pm, and the operating room door still remained closed. As time passed, the waiting crowd at the door became more and more anxious. Violet leaned on Mandy, crying until her voice became hoarse. She exclaimed sadly, "My poor child, why does fate always seem to be against him? He was so young when his parents passed away in an accident. "I struggled to raise him, and then he lost his sight due to poisoning. Finally, he encountered Lana, who healed his eyes and brought warmth to his life. But now, this is happening again." Mandy felt sorry too after hearing that, especially since Violet had watched Liam grow up. Despite being a bit reserved, Liam was actually quite remarkable. She could only comfort Violet, "Grandma, don't say that. Lee will be fine. Lana's mentor is very capable. You can rest assured." However, Violet still felt restless as Liam hadn't come out of the operating
"Liam!" Lana desperately held onto Liam, not letting go as if fearing that he would disappear the moment she released him."I'm here!" Liam hugged her, hoping to lessen her worry.After what seemed like an eternity, prompted by Darla's reminder, Lana finally released Liam from her embrace."Lana, Liam has just undergone surgery and hasn't fully recovered. Let's let him rest for a while," Darla suggested.Lana wiped her tears. She couldn't help but personally examine Liam, her concern evident."That's strange!" Lana muttered to herself. "He was already ..."Earlier, there were no signs of life whatsoever. Moreover, Nicholas, Marcel and Lana concluded that Liam had indeed died. Yet, an hour later, he came back unharmed. It couldn't be considered a medical miracle. It seemed more like a miracle of divine intervention."Was I dead just now?" Liam had overheard the doctors and nurses discussing his situation during the examination.He found it hard to believe that someone who had
Ruth looked satisfied after seeing Wade's expression. "You see, I told you earlier. This woman is not simple, but you never believed me. "Even if the person she killed yesterday was the most wicked person on Earth, taking a life is still taking a life. How can she laugh so carefreely and go on a date with someone afterward?"Wade, after hearing this, felt a deep sense of regret. Emilia's methods were so ruthless. If she had been even more ruthless and poisoned their food, what would they have done? The entire Watson family would have been hers!Wade sighed. "I see now why you insisted on not eating what she cooked."This morning, Emilia fried eggs for both of them. But Ruth denied her offer."People's hearts are unpredictable. I only trust my instincts. I don't like Emilia, and I don't want her to be my family. My family wouldn't be so heartless."Wade seemed to understand Ruth's reasons for rejecting Emilia all these years."Or maybe you are just good at judging people."
"Should we let Alex know about this?" Wade's main concern was whether Alex might do something drastic against Emilia in a fit of anger after hearing about what happened.Before Ruth could respond, Alex's voice suddenly came from nearby. "Mom, Dad, even if you don't tell me, I have eyes, and I can see."Wade and Ruth were both somewhat surprised. They didn't realize when Alex had arrived."Alex, when did you get here?" Wade asked.Alex smiled, still looking carefree. "Did you forget? I'm out here for a walk with you guys!"Wade and Ruth exchanged a smile, as if there was indeed such an occurrence. They had all come out together after breakfast. However, Alex felt like a third wheel and decided to wander off to another place.Later, Alex returned after feeling too bored, just in time to overhear Wade and Ruth discussing Emilia."Mom, you mentioned that you have a plan. Can you share it with me?" Alex was evidently not willing to be idle anymore. He probably also disapproved of
Seeing Howard's indifferent and imposing demeanor, Emilia suddenly smiled and said, "I came today to tell you some good news.""Oh," Howard responded indifferently but didn't ask for details.Undeterred, Emilia asked, "Why don't you ask what good news it is?""Regardless of what happens with you, it's never good news for me."Emilia was angry after being blatantly looked down upon by Howard. Nevertheless, she was going to achieve her goals no matter what, even if it meant being ruthless."But this time, it might not be a bad thing for you and your family!"Howard leisurely finished the tart in his hand, then clapped his hands and stood up. "Get to the point. I don't like beating around the bush."So, Emilia straightforwardly said, "I want to marry you!"Howard was speechless.Has she gone crazy?The last time he visited the Watson family, she was so afraid of getting involved with him that she chased after him to clarify the situation, stating that a relationship between th
"I really didn't expect to run into you here! So, you're related to Miss Clark." Alex sat up straight, taking a cup of coffee from Nadia.Nadia also poured herself a cup of coffee and sat across from Alex, saying, "If it weren't for Lana, you might not have seen me over there.""But honestly, I'm really happy to see you here, Nadia." When Alex said this, there was admiration in his eyes as he looked at Nadia.Nadia probably knew about his feelings for her. Her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head, unsure of how to respond to Alex's admiration.Worried that Nadia might be overwhelmed, Lana quickly walked in. As soon as Alex saw Lana, he immediately put down his coffee cup and stood up, greeting her with a smile. "Hello, Miss Clark."Without answering, Lana walked over to sit next to Nadia and coldly questioned, "What do you want? Say it. Let's not waste each other's time."Seeing Lana's unfriendly attitude toward Alex, Nadia couldn't help but whisper, "Lana, Alex h
Would Lana forgive him and spend the rest of her life with him?Liam's heart was filled with a sense of anticipation.Since the reason for the incident had been clarified, everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time and also went back to rest. Even Leonardo was taken away just to give the two people who had been apart for a long time some space to be alone.After everyone had left, Liam straightened out his clothes and approached Lana, then proceeded to slowly crouch down."Lana!"In the man's deep and sexy voice, there was an unusual tremor and a hint of choked emotion.Liam had no idea what kept him going during these years after losing Lana.Liam didn't dare to do anything too bold. Instead, he gently leaned his handsome face against Lana's hand, repeatedly calling her name.Three years had already passed since Lana left in a fit of anger, setting off a series of events afterward.If she still had any resentment, it would have vanished when she saw Liam's tall figu
Liam's outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air, and eventually, he could only withdraw it."Speak up if you have something to say, or else, stay quiet. We're not in the mood to listen to you." Hector's attitude toward Liam was still unfavorable, to the extent that he didn't even want to see him.Lana suddenly said, "Something very serious actually happened today."Following that, she placed Leonardo down and showed everyone the wound on his neck.A ring of red marks surrounded Leonardo's delicate neck. In some places, the marks were so swollen that it looked like a tire had been wrapped around his neck. It was a shocking sight to behold.Hector, Violet, Mandy, and Romelius were immediately enraged."What happened to Leo?""What happened to his neck? It could have been fatal if it was any worse.""Who was responsible for watching Leo today? How could they be so negligent and let the child get injured so badly?""This doesn't look like any ordinary wound. It looks like it wa
"Stop looking at me like that. If you want to kill or torture me, go ahead." Cynthia knew what would happen to her after the truth came out, so she gave up struggling. "However, even after my death, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!"As they listened to her absurd threat, Lana and the Traffic Light Trio burst into laughter."If ghosts were real, then Emilia would be the first to look for you."When her deceased sister was mentioned, Cynthia's smile remained unchanged. "That fool probably never knew it was me who betrayed her until her death."Considering the situation, Cynthia didn't believe she could leave the Garrison Villa tonight."What exactly do you gain by single-handedly destroying the Cooper family?"Lana was still very confused by Cynthia's actions.After all, Emilia and Cynthia were twins and had the same blood coursing through their veins. With all the Coopers gone, Cynthia had nothing to gain from it either!Cynthia sneered at Lana's question. "Lana, yo
On the evening of the banquet, the Garrison Villa was bustling with distinguished guests.Initially, everyone's attention was on the precious great-grandson of the Garrison and Kane family. With his confident and lively demeanor, the chubby child was absolutely adorable. Everyone was naturally curious about who the child might have chosen as his stepmother.It should be noted that the Garrison and Kane family only had one great-grandson. His future was destined to be extraordinary. As long as one could control the child, it was much more worthwhile than dealing with those individuals from the two affluent families.After all, the elders from the two families were very attentive and doting toward this child. Surprisingly, Liam, who was said to have been away from home for a long time, had returned. During the reception of guests, he unexpectedly had a smile on his face.The ladies who had come tonight, vying for the position of Liam's wife, became even more excited.Liam typi
On the night before the banquet, Romelius and Mandy finally brought Leonardo back.Lana was overjoyed, and she immediately went to the bungalow where they were staying.At that time, Leonardo had just returned home and was playing with toys on the living room floor."Leo, you're back! Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him. In a flash, Leonardo suddenly ran toward Romelius while holding a toy car.After that, he kept hiding in his arms, refusing to come out. He would occasionally peek out from the gaps to glance at Lana.His actions clearly showed that he refused to accept Lana.Lana's enthusiasm was dampened, and her outstretched arms awkwardly remained in midair. She looked at Romelius and then at Mandy as if waiting for them to persuade Leonardo. However, these two remained silent and only greeted Lana in a casual manner."Oh, Lana, you've come?" Mandy said while presenting her with a basket o
Due to the fact that the Garrison family was going to hold a banquet to introduce the mother of their beloved great-grandson, Leonardo, the Garrisons once again became the talk of the town in Dawsbury.The last time Dawsbury was so lively was when Hector introduced the Garrison family's heir to everyone.As soon as the news was released, the Garrisons became noticeably busier in the following days. All of them were busy scurrying around and helping Hector deliver the invitations.In addition to people who had business dealings with the Garrison family, the invitations were naturally sent to people who were familiar with Lana in the past. Therefore, as soon as the Traffic Light Trio received the invitation, they didn't even go to work and immediately ran to Liam's office—intending to get an explanation from him.At that time, Liam had just finished a phone call from overseas and was deep in thought when the office door was suddenly kicked open.Lincoln stood at the door, looking
With that, Sawyer ignored the unpleasant expressions on Freya and Hector's faces. He immediately picked up his child and walked away.Hector was furious. He glared at Liam, his eyes burning with anger. It was clear that he thought Liam was the one responsible for Lana's predicament.Liam was once again innocently caught in the crossfire.Freya set aside her current tasks, offered some comforting words to Hector, and then got up and chased after them.She knew Sawyer well enough and was certain that he would never have treated someone like this unless there was a reason.As Freya's family of three left, Lana's face bore a sorrowful expression. "Since I'm not welcome here, I guess I'll just go."With that, Lana got up and walked toward the door.Hector and Violet had been waiting for Lana's return for a long time. Now that she was finally back, how could they possibly let her go?Naturally, the two of them chased after Lana and tried to talk her out of leaving. They eventually ma
Liam sensed a challenging undertone in Lana's stare. After all this time, had they truly become adversaries?Releasing Lana abruptly, Violet gently patted her arm, her eyes filled with profound hurt."You're here, alive and well. Why did you leave us in the shadows? Even if you chose not to contact anyone else, you should've considered reaching out to me. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"Over the years, Violet had been grappling with a deep sense of loss.Though it remained an unspoken sentiment among them, Violet was aware of the underlying blame directed toward Liam for what was believed to be Lana's demise.Had Liam been more emotionally available, their relationship wouldn't have crumbled. It would've stopped Lana from seeking refuge overseas while carrying their child, an act that set the stage for her heartbreaking destiny.Witnessing Liam's anguish and believing Lana to be lost forever had taken a severe toll on Violet's health, aging her considerably."Gr
Liam guided Leo to Lana's room.As they entered, Lana was already awake, bathed in the serene morning light streaming through the window.Upon hearing their arrival, Lana, while brushing her hair, shifted her gaze toward them—a familiar scene echoing times gone by."Good morning, Liam and Leo!" she greeted them effortlessly.Without hesitation, Leonardo squirmed out of Liam's embrace and darted toward Lana, exclaiming, "Hi, Nana!"Lana paused, momentarily surprised by Leonardo's nickname. "Leo, you should be calling me 'Mommy'!" she gently corrected him.Leonardo hesitated momentarily before redirecting his attention to Liam.Even though Liam hadn't exchanged a single word with Lana, he spoke up when Leo glanced his way, firmly stating, "Feel free to do as you wish. There's no need to seek my approval. Alright?"Leonardo nodded obediently and turned his gaze back to Lana, continuing to address her as "Nana."While Lana appeared somewhat displeased by this unexpected turn of ev
