Annabelle felt like burying her face in the ground and running away, "I don't understand, please don't say things randomly.""It's okay if you don't understand, I will teach you slowly in the future."Annabelle sighed inwardly, knowing that this was exactly how it would turn out."But now we have to hurry," Kendrick said, opening the door and quickly glancing outside.He knew that the other party might soon realize something was wrong or notice other clues.So they had to take the opportunity to leave."Anna, help me out first. Let's go through the emergency exit."Annabelle nodded and asked worriedly, "What if they block the exit?""They probably didn't know about that exit, and it required a password. Let's go."Annabelle didn't have time to think carefully. She let Kendrick's arm rest on her shoulder and supported him as they walked towards the exit he had mentioned.Under Kendrick's guidance, Annabelle supported him and arrived at the small door.To be precise, it was a floor pain
Annabelle was a little excited and started coughing violently as soon as she finished speaking.Marvin quickly reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, he was just losing too much blood and was still unconscious."Looking at Annabelle like this, he knew that Annabelle probably had feelings for Kendrick."I went to see him."However, a sharp pain shot through her shoulder, causing Annabelle to immediately lie back down on the hospital bed. That was where she had been shot.Marvin then said that Kendrick was being taken care of now, so there was no need to worry. And even if Annabelle went there now, she wouldn't be able to help much.Annabelle was indeed feeling weak all over, and as soon as she sat up, her eyes went black. She had no choice but to listen to Marvin first.Afterwards, through Marvin's narration, Annabelle learned that she had been unconscious for a whole day and night. At that time, she had been shot with an anesthetic gun. Fortunately, she was taken to the hospital in time
After Jaime reported on the affairs of the group, he tentatively asked, "President, do you still want to remain unconscious?"Kendrick pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, during this time, pay close attention to the movements of the shareholders. I have also moved the bodyguards outside my ward to a hidden location. Without any instructions, do not take any unauthorized actions."With Marvin joining the group, Kendrick could feel that there were people within the group who had doubts about him. They had probably been looking for an opportunity to help Marvin rise to power.His coma was a good opportunity for Marvin, those people would definitely help Marvin.So, Kendrick decided to pretend to be in a coma, taking the opportunity to test and see who would betray him or even plot to harm him as soon as he became unconscious.So they simply opened the door wide and waited to see who would come."Yes, is that Mrs. Gregory speaking?"Kendrick rubbed his forehead; he actually didn't want
Kendrick couldn't help but feel a little surprised and a little delighted after hearing Annabelle's words.I used to be cold and indifferent towards him, always finding fault with him. But it turns out that I cared about him so much in my heart, and he was also quite clingy.The nurse sister said that she would go and ask the head nurse. Annabelle nodded, thinking that indeed the approval of the head nurse was necessary for this matter.After a while, the head nurse arrived.She was a woman in her thirties, showing respect towards Annabelle. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she said, "Mrs. Gregory, this might not be very convenient."Lying in the hospital bed, Kendrick almost couldn't continue acting and was about to sit up directly.His wife was coming to accompany him in bed, why was it suddenly inconvenient?Is this really the hospital he funded? How can these people not even have the most basic human care for him?However, before Kendrick could make a move, Annabelle spok
Lydia on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, "I can't wait anymore, let's do it tonight, you help me coordinate.""Did you want to come in person?""Well, all you need to do is follow my instructions and help me keep everyone who is taking care of Kendrick away. Can you do that?""Sure, recently all the bodyguards outside the ward were withdrawn. I will help you distract the staff."The diligent head nurse, who always knew the consequences of doing so and the risks she had to take, decided to go above and beyond for Lydia, her old friend who had once saved her child's life. She was determined to repay this kindness, no matter the cost."Okay. After the lights were turned off, I went upstairs and walked up the stairs of the emergency exit, directly to the ward."After hanging up the phone, Lydia was still feeling a bit excited.She was the mistress turned wife, never welcomed in the Gregory family, and her son was also looked down upon. She endured for so many years, nev
Although Annabelle had prepared herself mentally, she couldn't help but blush and feel extremely embarrassed when she took the initiative to hug him."Don't misunderstand, I was just too cold. And I came to find you mainly to protect you, after all, the person who harmed you hasn't been caught yet..."Kendrick listened to her murmuring in the darkness, and a smile crept onto his lips as he longed to reach out and embrace her in his arms.Later, Annabelle remembered what Jaime had said, that if she talked more, it might help him wake up.What should I say then?What can I say to stimulate him?Annabelle was still not used to Kendrick being so talkative, but since he was unconscious, she figured he wouldn't hear anything she said. And even if he did hear, as long as she didn't admit it when he woke up, it would be fine.So Annabelle cleared her throat and said, "Today Marvin came to see me. I used to think he was arrogant and rude, quite annoying, but recently I've realized he's not tha
Absolutely right.So don't go with him!Kendrick was about to blurt it out.After Annabelle finished speaking, she picked up Kendrick's wrist and examined it again, sighing.I really don't know why he hasn't woken up yet, his condition was clearly getting better and better.Annabelle felt sleepy, yawned, and then fell into a deep sleep.Kendrick opened his eyes only after Annabelle had fallen completely asleep. He gently turned to the side and placed his arm around her waist, embracing her softly. Then, he lightly kissed her on the face.Kendrick didn't want to immediately return to lying flat, so he stayed on his side, using the moonlight outside the window to look at the woman next to him.I helped her tidy up her hair and really wanted to ask her why she didn't hesitate at all when she blocked that bullet for him.Why did you come to his ward before your body had recovered, and even risked climbing over the balcony to get here?Although Kendrick had already guessed her heart, he st
Annabelle was still nervous and couldn't care less about condemning Kendrick for pretending to be unconscious. She anxiously asked, "Who was the person who just came? What does she want?""She was a nurse, doing her rounds."Actually, Kendrick realized that the person who came was Lydia, which was pretty much what he had expected.He had also suspected before that Lydia wanted to harm him.A few months ago, someone poisoned the water dispenser in his office. Later, Jax found out through investigation that the worker who replaced the filter for the water dispenser had met a woman before. The woman was wearing a mask and sunglasses, sitting in a car, and was captured by a street surveillance camera. Although the video was blurry, Lydia's distinctive figure could be seen.But at that time, Kendrick didn't believe that Lydia would actually kill him.He thought that this woman only knew how to use some petty tricks.In hindsight, he underestimated Lydia.But Kendrick didn't want to tell An
Kendrick held Annabelle tightly, his entire body tense, and Annabelle could even hear his rapid heartbeat from the tension.“Did you have a nightmare?”“I dreamt that someone took you away.”Annabelle smiled softly, her gentle fingers slipping into his hair, helping him press on some pressure points to relax him.“You’ve been too tired lately. You should get some rest.”“I’ll go to sleep now. If you’re willing to wait for me for ten minutes, we can go to bed together.”He kissed her ear, seemingly thinking she just wanted to know what time he’d go to sleep.Annabelle pressed her lips together and said, “Actually, I came here to confess something.”“What bad thing did you do?”Feeling a little guilty, Annabelle scratched her head and said, “Someone just sent you a message. You should reply first.”Kendrick gl
Annabelle remained unaware of everything that was happening around her.However, she overheard Kendrick talking on the phone with Dr. White and learned that the analysis of the medicine the Young Master had given her had been completed.Concerned that Annabelle might discover the ingredients, Kendrick decided to tell her the components of the non-toxic medicine.Annabelle sighed after hearing it, telling Kendrick that she had originally intended to learn how to make the medicine herself by analyzing its components, so she could continue managing her health in the future. But after hearing the names of the trace elements, she realized it would be impossible to do it herself.With modern medical techniques, the elements in traditional medicine can be analyzed, but without a prescription, it is impossible to recreate the medicine. This is one of the mysterious aspects of Traditional medicine.She could try asking the Young Master, but since he hadn't
Kendrick's gratitude toward Seraphina was genuine. At the same time, he wanted her to understand that in the battle between him and Ryan, if Ryan ultimately lost, he would let her go and not make her do anything harmful to him or Annabelle out of desperation.Seraphina was momentarily stunned, then smiled faintly. "The likelihood of me needing your help is low, but I do appreciate your words.""There's no need to speak too soon, but this is my promise to you."After saying this, Kendrick gave a brief glance at Elio. "Elio, take Miss Seraphina away."Elio nodded in acknowledgment and shot a cold glare at Seraphina. "Go."Seraphina gave a sly smile to Elio. "The stone outside Lavender Villa's gate has a listening device. I installed it. You might want to take it down soon."Elio froze for a moment, his face turning red in both embarrassment and anger."Got it!" he muttered back.After Seraphina was sent away by Elio, Kendrick too
“This medicine really can help detoxify Miss Sanchez’s body. The one she’s taking now, however, is actually toxic,” Seraphina said.Kendrick lightly shifted the small bottle in his hand and gave Seraphina a sharp look.“But the results of Annabelle’s physical check-up are already out, and there’s no sign of any toxins in her body. She doesn’t need detoxifying,” Kendrick responded.Seraphina smirked. “The doctors don’t even know what kind of poison she’s been exposed to. There are hundreds of types of neurotoxins. If there’s no clear history of poisoning or obvious symptoms, they can only rule them out one by one. By the time they find out what it is, the person might already be gone. The screenings you’re doing now are far from thorough.”Kendrick tightened his lips.That was actually true. Dr. Jay, an immunology expert, had said the same to him.Based
As Kendrick had expected, Seraphina indeed showed up.He glanced at Jax and signaled him with his eyes. Jax tore the tape off Seraphina’s mouth.Kendrick approached Seraphina. "Miss Seraphina, I apologize for treating you so roughly."Seraphina gave him a cold look."How did you know I would come?"Kendrick curled his lips slightly. "It was fairly easy to guess."The day Annabelle visited the calligraphy and painting market, she had an accidental encounter with Seraphina, and coincidentally, she lost the key to Lavender Villa that day.Kendrick didn’t believe it was a coincidence. He suspected that Seraphina had stolen Annabelle’s key.If Seraphina had stolen the key, what did she want to do with it?Kendrick had considered many possibilities—was she planning to infiltrate Lavender Villa and assassinate him? It was possible, after all, Seraphina was under Ryan, and she might be carrying out an ass
Marvin wrote a check for Linda, who reached out to take it. However, Marvin suddenly raised his hand, stopping her. "Don’t even think about running. I’ll have people keep an eye on you until you bring Emilia to me."Linda smirked. "Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. Besides, who would turn down money?"Marvin snorted. "It’s best if that’s true."He reached for his glass again, but Linda grabbed it out of his hand."Mr.Gregory, you need to get a grip. Stop drinking. It’s a troublemaker, didn’t you learn your lesson the last time you got humiliated?" She glanced at his lower abdomen and winked.Teased again, Marvin grew angry and annoyed, reaching out to grab her chin. But the little woman quickly dodged and slipped away.Linda left the room, and the place fell quiet.Marvin took another sip of his drink.He couldn’t help but imagine the future.When Annabelle sees Emili
After Mary returned to Elfhedge, she worked in domestic services, and one of her employers was Lisa. Upon learning that Lisa knew Kendrick, she hoped Lisa could help her get in touch with him.However, Lisa told her that Kendrick had already married a young lady.Emilia was kind-hearted and gentle, unwilling to disturb him further, but Mary felt her daughter had been wronged. So, through Lisa, she proactively sought out Kendrick, hoping he would take responsibility for Emilia.But Kendrick was indecisive, delaying over and over again. He continued to be affectionate with Annabelle while still maintaining a complicated relationship with Emilia.Later, Mary discovered that Lisa also had feelings for Kendrick and even became mentally unstable because of him.So, Kendrick was juggling three women at once!Mary was about to expose him when she accidentally bumped into Linda at the psychiatric hospital, which led to this conversation.After
"Business?" Marvin snorted coldly and looked up at her.His once handsome features were now shadowed by a layer of sadness, making him appear somewhat grim and sinister.The girl, however, showed no fear. She met his gaze with a glint of slyness in her eyes.Pouring herself a glass of wine, she swirled the drink, her lips curling into a smirk as she glanced sideways at Marvin."Your beloved woman became your sister-in-law. I bet you’re not happy about that, are you, Young Master?"Marvin tightened his grip on the glass, his expression growing darker and more terrifying."Spit it out. I don’t have time for your nonsense," he said, his tone ice-cold.He was skilled at reading people. Whether they were celebrities or street thugs, he’d encountered all kinds.This woman, Linda, was no exception. The look on her face now clearly indicated she was holding a trump card.She smiled, a slyness that didn’t quite match her age.
“Linda?” Marvin read the girl’s name off the business card, casting her a cold glance.The girl quickly nodded and bowed, smiling. “Yes, it’s me, in the flesh!”Still talking slick when she’s in such deep trouble? Was she raised in a den of rogues?Marvin frowned but didn’t engage her further. Instead, he tucked her business card into his pocket.The elevator reached their floor.“Get out. Walk ahead,” Marvin ordered, pushing the girl out of the elevator, treating her like a criminal being escorted.When they arrived at his apartment door, Marvin scanned his fingerprint to unlock it and gave her a push. She stumbled inside.He shut the door and locked it.She didn’t scream. Instead, she stood still, turning around with a pitiful look on her face. Submissively, she said, “Young Master, I don’t have the looks or the figure. Since you’ve made your
