Gwynn picked up the phone after a brief moment.They didn’t utter a single word for a long time. All they could hear was each other’s light breathing. They were supposed to be a married couple. However, it felt as if they were starting to not recognize each other’s breath. Noah broke the silence. “How’s the recovery going?”The night was as cold as it felt in winter. Gwynn spoke dryly in Francorian, “I think Kim has filled you in on what's been going on here. I’m recovering very well. I’ve got Maddox’s corneas and regained my sight… As for him, he jumped off the hospital building and died. His wife followed him into death not long after.“I know you’ll be bothered by the fact that I’ll always have his corneas the next time we meet each other.“I don’t think this is something you can live with!“That’s why I’m asking for a divorce, Noah! Once you’re free from the bonds of marriage, you’ll be able to treat Gianna the way she deserves. You can love her and even marry her for all I
The pediatrician used his stethoscope to listen to Holly’s heartbeat and breathing.After a brief moment, he tucked it away and said, “She probably caught a cold and has a mild case of pneumonia. It’s not that serious. She’ll be right as rain once I prescribe her some medicine.”The word ‘pneumonia’ unnerved the old servant.She asked gingerly, “Should we hook her up to an IV drip? The other children get it when they have pneumonia.”He smiled. “It’s not that serious.”He was aware of Holly’s tragic background. Reaching out, he brushed his fingers on her cheeks tenderly, and said to Gwynn, “If it’s possible, feed her some breast milk, Ms. Gwynn. That’ll help the baby girl build up her immune system.”Gwynn nodded. “Okay.”Carrying Holly in her arms, she soothed the baby tenderly. Tears filled the doctor’s eyes. He hid it in a cough and said, “I’m going to prescribe her some medicine now.”She asked the old servant to follow the doctor. After weeks of attentive care, Holly sta
Gwynn looked glum. …Kim opened the door and came in.Gwynn was standing by the window, gazing out wordlessly. Once she heard the sound of the door opening, she said softly, “I want to fly to Gerlandia, Kim. Can you arrange it for me? Also, I don’t want Noah to know about it.”Kim hesitated a little. After all, she was Noah’s assistant. She worked for him, but she was being asked to do something that was as good as a betrayal to him. After a brief moment, she smiled miserably. “I guess I can always look for another job.” Being the efficient lady that she was, she booked the earliest flight available for Gwynn and gave the latter Noah’s address in Gerlandia. Before Gwynn left, Kim packed some Gerlandian notes in her suitcase. “Digital wallets aren't common in Gerlandia. It’d be wise to have some cash in the local currency with you.”Gladys also prepared some pre-packed food for her. She was concerned that her mistress couldn’t get used to Gerlandian food. Worried, she said
Gwynn looked much healthier now, and had regained much of her former figure.She was still quite skinny, but there was flesh where there should be on her body. Even her skin was restored to its former glory. Dressed in a form-fitting dress, she looked slender and curvaceous.Noah stared at her for a long time. It felt as if it had been centuries since he had last seen her. The personnel from the wedding boutique asked again, “We’re going to hang your wedding photo here, Mr. Noah. Does it look fine for you?”Coming back to his senses, he took brisk steps toward Gwynn instinctively. Grabbing her slender wrist, he spoke in a hushed voice because he knew he was in the wrong this time. “We’ll talk outside.”“Why do we have to talk outside?”Shaking his hand off, she swept her eyes across the living room. Noticing the extravagant architectural style, she chuckled softly, “Is it because this is where you hide your mistress? Are you ashamed of it?”Then, her chuckle turned into a s
Out of nowhere, he recalled the way Gwynn’s body shook when they first kissed. Back then, her eyes were filled with nothing but love when she looked at him. Now, however, her eyes were brimming with unfeeling coldness. Gwynn said softly, “Why didn’t you slap me? Why didn’t you do what’s right by your beloved mistress?”He simmered down and was calm again.Just as he was about to speak, she raised the same vase and smashed his head with all her might. She didn’t pull back at all. She really meant to kill him. She’d simply go to jail if he was dead. No big deal. Kim was going to find Holly and she had faith the assistant would make arrangements for both of her kids’ future.A cold, unsympathetic smile crept up on her face. Her voice was extremely hoarse when she said, “I wish you two scumbags would stay forever and ever with each other!”Ignoring his bleeding head, he grabbed her slender wrist and pulled her into his arms. Staring into her eyes, he found that he no longer rec
His lust was finally sated and his desires were finally fulfilled. Noah kept thrusting into Gwynn as he arched his back and tried to kiss her. She didn’t really try to fight back. Instead, she even allowed him to pin her hands on the pillow and indulged in his animalistic lust. Sometimes, she would pant softly and try to bury her reddened face in the white pillow if he was particularly fierce with his thrusts. He just loved how she looked right now. He kept driving his manhood into her as he wallowed in this extreme pleasure. He had never experienced such euphoria. Even if he should die at this moment, he would accepted it gracefully. “Do you like it? Do you like it when I fuck you like this?” Sticking out his tongue, he licked her chin sultrily.Her eyes were misty, indicating that she, too, was lost in a sea of pleasure. Be that as it may, her hands were feeling around under the pillow. The moment she found the sharp knife, she didn’t hesitate for a single second. Closin
Noah propped himself up. Kim didn’t think it was a good idea. “You’ve got a stab wound in your chest, Mr. Noah. You should lie down and get some rest!”He gave her a sidelong glance and said in a husky voice, “You seem awfully cheerful! Go along and get me a pack of cigarettes.”At first, she was reluctant to do it, but he was very adamant about it. So, she had no choice but to go out of his ward and get a pack from the bodyguard, who was standing guard by the door. Coming back in, she handed it to Noah. Leaning on the headboard, he pulled out a cigarette, put it between his lips, and lit it.Wisps of smoke rose in the air. He asked in a deep voice, “What’s the Gerlandian prosecutor thinking?”Kim said truthfully, “They said that the public prosecutor's office will initiate the legal proceedings if Ms. Gwynn refuses to change her testimony. We won’t be able to rewrite the outcome even if we try to disrupt the proceedings.”He stopped asking further questions. She thought a c
Panting, Gianna sneered. “He’s clearly avoiding me!“He lost his mind the moment that bitch came over! He abandoned me and went over to a hotel just so he could have sex with Gwynn… Hahaha. He’s such a vigilant man too. It’s absurd how he almost got stabbed to death while he’s lost himself in sex!“Take a look outside! There are reporters everywhere. They humiliated and defamed me in the media and made me out to be a homewrecker that everyone loathes! However, he didn’t care at all. He didn’t even ask how I was doing.”…Gianna’s mind became more and more unraveled. She went on to smash all of the wedding photos. She did it all while crying hysterically. It turned out that shooting these lovely wedding photos did nothing for her. It was all meaningless. At the end of the day, all he cared about was the bitch!That was right! The bitch was the only one that mattered to him!…Gwynn sat in an old, worn-out chair in an interrogation room. She was in a prison somewhere in Gerl
