Seeing Ariana with her eyes tightly closed and a pale face, it seemed like she couldn't speak anymore.
Kendrick gently placed her on the ground, cradling her back with his arms, and said to Annabelle, "Anna, take a look at this, see what's going on."
Annabelle was a medical student. Saving lives and treating illnesses was an instinctive reaction for her. She immediately crouched beside Ariana, opened her eyelids to take a look, and then checked her pulse by lifting her wrist.
Pretty healthy, the heart rate was a bit fast, but the pulse was strong and vigorous, and there was no fainting or shock reaction.
Other than Annabelle, Ms. Murphy could possibly come in first if she ran an 800-meter race.
At the same time, Annabelle also discovered something interesting.
The bandage on Ariana's foot was just for show, it could deceive th

Annabelle thought to herself, "If Kendrick leaves the delicate Ariana behind and comes to take care of me, wouldn't it make her sad?"Previously, Lisa envied Annabelle, causing her to almost lose face. She didn't want to make any more enemies.Because she had already realized that these girls who liked Kendrick were all tough characters, she herself was just a naive little bunny from the mountains, unable to withstand their antics, and had no intention of competing with them for men."Seamus was taking care of her."Kendrick was a man, with a rather blunt emotional nature, unaware of Annabelle's subtle emotions.He thought Annabelle was too strong-willed, but now that she has twisted her ankle, she is too embarrassed to let him see and is just gritting her teeth."I was really fine... Ouch, it hurts!"As soon as he pressed on the injured area of Annabelle, she couldn't help but cry out in pain."Both swollen, but you're fine. I

"Hey, Kendrick! Put me down!"Annabelle patted Kendrick's back, but the old fox didn't let go and ignored her.She was like a hunted rabbit, helplessly lying on Kendrick's shoulder, under the shocked gaze of Scott and Seamus, under the sinister gaze of Ariana, being carried by Kendrick all the way to the parking lot and stuffed into the passenger seat.Annabelle glared at Kendrick angrily, so furious that her ankles didn't even hurt.How can she not be angry? She is already an adult, being carried around like this, losing face.However, Kendrick started the car expressionlessly and glanced at her indifferently, saying, "Seatbelt."Annabelle, with anger, pulled the seatbelt across and with a click, inserted it into the slot.Kendrick also angrily stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away from the club's parking lot.Seamus, Scott, and Ariana had also arrived at the parking lot and witnessed the scene where Kendrick arro

Annabelle opened her eyes wide and looked at Kendrick, as if she didn't know what he was saying, and asked in return, "Why should I be jealous?"Kendrick listened and gave a bitter smile."That was me being sentimental. Do you want to stay here, or should I carry you upstairs?""It was right here.""Okay, then I went upstairs first. Call me if you need anything."After Kendrick left, Annabelle fell into deep thought. Was she really feeling jealous?Immediately, Annabelle shook her head. It was impossible for her to like Kendrick, at most it was because she saw Ariana playing mind games and Kendrick was completely oblivious, she was just worried for him.But then I realized, why was I in such a hurry?It is normal for a woman who has fallen in love to play some tricks for the man she likes. Why should she be so concerned about it?So I stopped overthinking.Annabelle stayed at home for a week, and the swelling in h

Annabelle smiled and, in fact, she only played the piano for her own amusement, never really considering performing on stage.However, seeing how excited her friend was, she decided to agree to Kamila's request and give it a try.If fortunate enough to be chosen, that would be great. If not chosen, at least Kamila tried her best and should have no regrets.As soon as Annabelle agreed, Kamila couldn't be happier. She immediately told Annabelle a few songs she had been considering and the two of them started discussing and choosing one as their performance piece.Gauge's attention was always focused on the conversation between Annabelle and Kamila, so he didn't hear what Hayley said at all. It was only when the people around him stopped talking that he realized the atmosphere was a bit awkward."Sorry, what did you just say?"Hayley gave a bitter smile and said with a hint of disappointment, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if there are any

Annabelle's eyes lit up: "Weren't you uninterested in acting?"She remembered that many girls had come to find Gauge before, wanting him to participate in the show together, but he had refused and said he wasn't interested.Gauge pursed his lips and said, "Even if it's just a friendly support, isn't Kamila also quite regretful?"That's true to say, the song was adapted by Kamila, and she put a lot of effort into it. It ended up being aborted like this, and she is very regretful.Annabelle saw it all and hoped to help her bring the melody to life."We need to practice as soon as possible, I'm not sure if we can cooperate well."Gauge laughed after listening, "When have we ever not worked well together?"Annabelle smiled and realized that when she had previously sought advice from Gauge on classical harp playing techniques, they had also tried playing some pieces together and had coordinated well.Therefore, Gauge didn't think ab

But Mr. Gregory still suppressed the sourness in his heart, and lightly tugged at the corners of his mouth, managing to squeeze out a smile."Okay, very good. I wish you a successful performance."He knew that he couldn't stop her.He watched Annabelle from the beginning, unwilling to go on stage to perform, to later actively preparing, from being excited and elated after being selected, to feeling nervous and anxious as the performance approached.Kendrick saw everything.He knew that Annabelle cherished this opportunity to perform and was filled with anticipation. Since it was something she loved doing, he should fully support her and not be jealous.Annabelle looked at his ugly smile and the words that seemed to be gritted through his teeth, and instantly felt a chill run down her spine.This man was possessive and jealous, he must have been unhappy.Why suddenly do I have an ominous premonition that an old fox is up to misc

"Why?" Seamus asked, puzzled.Kendrick said lightly, "She didn't want her classmates to know about our relationship.""Kendrick, were you so humble?"Kendrick frowned unhappily, turned off the speaker, and picked up his phone. "Is there anything else?"Afterwards, Seamus said something else that Annabelle didn't hear, but Kendrick also quickly hung up the phone.Annabelle glared at him with a gloomy face.Kendrick walked past her, paused for a moment, and smiled as he patted her shoulder. "Don't be nervous, it's okay. Even if the performance goes wrong, your husband won't make fun of you."Annabelle's cosmos exploded."How did you know that I would mess up the performance?""You have only been learning for a few days, it's normal to feel nervous on stage and make mistakes. It's okay, don't worry."Kendrick's tone was like that of an older brother encouraging his impulsive younger sister, and when he mentioned the

Kendrick's gaze was so intense that it inexplicably made Annabelle feel suffocated.It was even more uncomfortable than standing on stage and being stared at by ten thousand people individually, causing the eyelashes to tremble involuntarily."It's just me, are you still nervous?"Annabelle furrowed her brows and calmly said, "I wasn't nervous."His gaze was too audacious, as if he could devour her completely at any moment, making her feel a little uneasy.Kendrick smiled, didn't say anything, changed his sitting position, and forcefully suppressed the restless thoughts in his mind, playing the role of an audience member properly.Annabelle had already brought over a wooden dining chair, stepped onto a professional footstool, embraced a classical guitar, and was ready.Then she lifted those captivating beautiful eyes, glanced lightly at Kendrick, and curled her lips as if saying, "Old fox, listen to me carefully."The piece to

I wish it were you   Chapter 940 Desire Fades
Seraphina understood exactly what Dereon meant—he was suggesting she sleep with the Young Master.But would sleeping with him really make him love her more?Seraphina knew very well: the reason the Young Master still had some affection for her was precisely because she knew her place and respected boundaries.She didn’t want to do anything that might make him hate her.Looking out the cabin window, Seraphina said calmly, “If the Young Master wanted me, of course I’d be willing… but I’m not going to take the initiative to do something so unnecessary.”“How is it unnecessary?!”Dereon slapped his thigh in frustration. Blood was still trickling down his forehead, running past his brow and onto his nose, making him look a little frightening. But his expression was that of a sleazy pimp, and Seraphina found it laughable.“You don’t have to convince me,” she said. “I have my own thoughts on this.”“Seraphina, you don’t understand men,” Dereon lowered his voice. “If you can hold on to the Yo

Ryan said, “That wasn’t the best opportunity just now.”“Why not?”Ryan rubbed his temples in exhaustion. “Can you use your brain before asking questions?”Seraphina quickly jumped in, “Dereon, didn’t you see that Gauge was also there?”“So what if Gauge was there?” Dereon retorted. “That kid clearly can’t fight.”Seraphina patiently explained.First, the Young Master didn’t hide his movements on this trip to South City. Running into Kendrick here was purely by chance.They weren’t prepared. Acting rashly could have led to failure.Even if they succeeded, since their movements weren’t concealed, it would be easy for the Gregory family to trace the incident back to them. And that old man from the Gregory family is no pushover.Second, Gauge was present. He’s friends with both Kendrick and Annabelle. There’s no way he’d stand by and do nothing.If Gauge got dragged into the mess, the Young Master would be making an enemy out of the Murphy family for no reason.The the Whitney Group is j

A private jet bound for Elfhedge took off smoothly from the South City airport.Inside the cabin, Annabelle was lying in a luxurious bedroom.Ryan stepped out of the room and said to Seraphina, who was standing outside the door, “She was poisoned by a type of floral toxin. It causes hallucinations and unconsciousness. She's fine now. Go get a clean set of clothes for her. I’ll help her change.”“It’s already prepared,” Seraphina’s gaze flickered slightly. She tightened her grip on the clothes in her hand and lowered her head. “Young Master, let me do it. This dress is a bit tricky to put on…”Ryan glanced at the dress in her hands, then looked deeply into her eyes. After a moment, he let out a bitter laugh. “Alright… if Anna knew I changed her clothes, she’d probably hate me even more.”Seraphina said nothing. Once Ryan stepped aside, she walked in with her head lowered.She carefully helped Annabelle out of her soiled clothes and put on the dress she had brought with her for the trip

Anna shook her head and smiled. “Nothing really. Let me do the cleaning—you’re definitely not as meticulous as I am. You go wait outside.”“No need…”“Go on, I’ll take care of it.”Annabelle was firm and took the duster from Gauge’s hand.But Gauge didn’t leave. How could he let a girl do the work while he waited outside enjoying the breeze?So the two of them cleaned together.While cleaning the room, Annabelle felt oddly emotional. Her mind was flooded with thoughts.Who was the woman who had once lived here? What kind of story did she have? What kind of mood had she been in when she left the village to live in solitude by the sea?As she wiped the mirror on the vanity, she could almost picture a woman sitting there, grooming herself in days long past.She must have been someone melancholic, yet strong-willed.A sudden wave of sadness welled up from deep within Annabelle’s heart.She couldn’t help but laugh at herself. Am I too empathetic? Why else would she feel so much for a compl
I wish it were you   Chapter 936 Who Is She?
“Let’s go,” Gauge called out to her.Annabelle snapped out of her thoughts and walked toward the small wooden cabin.Gauge pointed to a patch of land behind the cabin and said that it used to be a small garden. There had once been a large tree with a wide canopy, and his father had installed a swing on one of its sturdy horizontal branches.Back then, his father often sat alone inside the cabin, sipping a couple of drinks.Meanwhile, Gauge would sit outside on the swing, watching the sea and listening to music.Looking at the now overgrown garden, Gauge showed a hint of melancholy.“Unfortunately, the big tree was cut down later, and since no one took care of the garden, it fell into disrepair. When my dad came here last year, he said he regretted not being able to maintain it.”Annabelle listened quietly. It seemed Murphy's father had deeply cared about whoever used to live here.Gauge had said before that he wasn’t sure if the person was a man or a woman—he just guessed it was a wom
I wish it were you   Chapter 935 The Big Boss Is Sick
Annabelle transformed visibly from a sweet little bunny into a puffed-up pufferfish, cheeks bulging with frustration.She got up to leave, but Kendrick pulled her back into his arms. He poked her puffed cheeks and chuckled,"You're really that scared someone’s going to steal me away?""If you could be stolen that easily, then you’re not worth liking."Annabelle wasn’t insecure to the point where a single text message from Kendrick would make her suspicious.But it was late, and the sudden calls and texts clearly meant something was going on.Still… she had to admit, she was just a tiny bit jealous."You jealous of Jaime too? I was on the phone with him," Kendrick laughed as he handed over his phone so she could see the call log.Annabelle glanced at it—sure enough, the call happened while she was playing the guitar. The corners of her lips twitched upward, but she still insisted stubbornly,"I said I was just casually asking."Kendrick then pulled up their group chat—the one with Jaim
I wish it were you   Chapter 934 Hopelessly in Love
Kendrick’s kiss was too passionate—so passionate it was suffocating, instantly awakening every cell in Annabelle’s body.His kiss was also too forceful—so forceful that Annabelle forgot to resist, and didn't want to resist.Because when Kendrick desired her so intensely, she too was equally, fiercely craving him.It suddenly dawned on her—she truly, deeply liked this man above her. She liked his scent, liked his voice, even liked the beads of sweat trickling down his spine.When did she fall this hard?Maybe it started back when they were ambushed and narrowly escaped death… when they lived in the hospital together… when she risked falling just to climb over the balcony and see him.When she brought herself to his bed, faced her feelings for the first time, and accepted him both emotionally and physically—she had already fallen.As for her heart… it had been open to him long before that.Maybe it started with his first kiss. From that moment, her heart had already begun to waver—she j
I wish it were you   Chapter 933 Mr. Gregory Is So Wronged
After his cold shower, Kendrick returned to the room and climbed into bed, but he still felt a bit restless.He gazed at the little woman for a while. She looked exhausted.Not wanting to wake her, he gently pulled her nightdress down and tucked the blanket securely around her.Then he turned around, facing away from her, closed his eyes, and tried to sleep.But in the twenty-something-degree room, Annabelle, now wrapped like a little cocoon, soon got uncomfortable and kicked the blanket off again.Not only that—she rolled over and draped her arm around Kendrick’s waist, hugging him from behind.Maybe because Kendrick’s body was still slightly cool from the cold shower, Annabelle loved the chilly "big body pillow" and even pressed her warm little face against his back.While tightly hugging her “old fox,” she continued her dream, still playing chess with the god of dreams.Kendrick let out a long sigh and gently held the hand around his waist, playfully tickling her palm.She didn’t w

Kendrick chuckled helplessly. “She really doesn’t use her phone much, so there’s no need to worry about her finding out on her own.”He’d seen Anna’s phone interface before—it was mostly filled with practical apps like dictionaries and period trackers. The usual social media apps? She had tucked them all away in a folder labeled "Rarely Used."Thinking of his quirky little wife, Kendrick’s mood lightened significantly.Of course, he knew that in this internet era, Anna might eventually come across the gossip herself. That’s why he hoped, by the time she did, he would have already taken care of everything.Then, when she found out, she’d know exactly where the "arrow" came from—and see clearly what became of the person who fired it.That way, she wouldn’t feel too anxious or wronged. At most, she’d just complain about how shameless the rumor-spreader was.It was the best way Kendrick could think of to minimize the harm.“Alright. I promise,” Gauge said solemnly.“Then that’s all,” Kend
