I had just remembered the message he sent me, anyway, so I thought for a moment and said, “I didn't come to Washington because I didn't trust your ability to solve this problem. Those things though I happened to come across some clues, so I followed them.”

He turned around and asked, “Then why did you lie?”

“Why did I lie?”

I had lied to him about coming for a business trip that came up.

I had never been good at explaining, so I sighed and told the truth. “The clue I found. It is related to the Lima family. My assistant advised me to tell him, but then he also said that Mrs. Lima is his aunt. That’s why I lied to him, because I didn’t want to make things difficult for him, but I didn’t expect him to find out.”

Responsibility. I paused and asked: “What did you do? Did I come to the city of Washington suddenly?”

Carlos stopped the car at the intersection, put the car in gear and stared at me for a while. I touched my face and asked wonderfully. “Where are you looking?”

“I missed you, an

    Carlos couldn't get past that notion and I crushed him by gently reminding him: “At least for now, he's the one who treats me best.”He no longer challenged me, but was more intrigued by my relationship with Léo. He questioned: “As far as I know, there is no agreement between my brother’s families and mine on how they met each other?”I didn't want to divulge Léo's past, because it was his secret and it wasn't up to me to tell the world about it.But to satisfy Carlos' curiosity, I said: “We've known each other for a long time. He is the son of my mother’s best friend, he is my brother.”My explanation didn't seem very good to Carlos, but he didn't go any further either. He turned and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.Looking at her straightened back, I smiled silently and walked up the stairs. I went to my sister-in-law's room first to get some wet wipes to remove my makeup.There were many cosmetic products and several beautiful pieces of clothing in my sister-in-law's room. Sh

    I instinctively replied: “That’s because he’s my brother.”“I don’t think your sister-in-law will like this one bit.”Out of nowhere, Carlos had made such a statement. It seemed reasonable and I was speechless.Could the conflict between my sister-in-law and my brother be caused by me?With this thought, my heart started to feel uncomfortable, as soon as I got off the plane, I called my sister-in-law. She was still sleeping and was dazed when she answered my call. “Natália, did something happen?”“Sister-in-law, did you and my brother argue because of me?”With my loved ones, I was frank with my words. My question was very direct and my sister-in-law was stunned for a few seconds before answering: “You could say yes.”My sister-in-law was also an outspoken person.“What made you guys argue?”The sister-in-law elaborated without hiding anything from me: “He felt that he was a heartless person and that he didn’t care about anyone. Since his surgery I've been busy running around, I think

    I immediately rushed to the hospital when I heard that Lucy had an accident. As soon as I arrived, I saw Carlos standing smoking in a corner of the corridor in front of the infirmary. He stubbed out his cigarette when he saw me and said calmly, “Lucy is currently fine after emergency surgery and the person driving the car was the man she always wanted to be with.”I immediately responded: “Are you referring to Charles Lucas?”How did he know he and Lucy were interested in Charles?Carlos didn't answer, but questioned me instead: "Are you investigating Charles because of Lucy?"I nodded in affirmation. Carlos was smart and immediately realized Lucy's intention. He said: “I think she deliberately planned this to happen and desperately tried to put herself in danger! We underestimated her determination for revenge. In order to enter the Lucas family, she dared to offend Charles and even planned to take revenge on him.”Carlos' words obviously showed that he was still skeptical about what

    He knew it was most likely already over the moment I walked into the living room and calmly passed the phone to Carla at his side.It was regrettable that she managed to escape punishment this time."Everything is fine. We have already achieved what we set out to do.”Seeing that I was so calm, my assistant was surprised. “Have you been suspicious of Nanci all this time?”“I guessed it, but I had no concrete proof.”After finishing the phone call with my assistant, I sat on my bed and opened my birth document. There was no doubt that my name indicated on the document was Natália Moom.In the photograph, I was a baby and the only difference was the year of birth, in the document, the date was 1995.But I was born in 1996 and turned twenty-three this year.Natália in the document should be twenty-four years old.Unrest slowly crept into my heart.I suddenly understood what Michele had intended to do!I quickly sent a message to my assistant to have him delete my birth records. He didn't

    I didn't ask Karen if it was André Sky.She still thought that her feelings for André had been kept to herself. However, she knew he was interested in me at that moment.Theoretically, he could see me as just his rival.He couldn't tell how she felt about me and had no idea why she had called, asking to meet.She nodded and replied sincerely: “It’s true, it’s something about a relationship, more specifically, it’s about unrequited love.”Normally, I would have to ask her what kind of person she had fallen in love with, but I knew it was André, so I couldn't ask her about it.I sighed. “Love is difficult, I don’t know how to comfort her, take the blanket in the back seat and warm her up.”Sensing that I was trying to distance myself from her, she pursed her lips and fell silent. She also didn't pick up the back blanket.Because of my relationship with Carlos Sky, I was her ex-sister-in-law, no matter what. It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel anything when I saw him so sad. But

    I knew it seemed like I was trying to avoid responsibility.It was true that André Sky and I had nothing, but it was also true that he was in love with me, he had asked me if I would change my mind and meet him.He had said he would wait for me all his life.I could imagine how painful it was for Karen.She didn't speak again and we remained silent as I drove her back to her neighborhood, according to my memory of the route.I parked the car by the road and gave her an umbrella and she accepted it and thanked me gratefully, then she said with a guilty look on her face: “I'm sorry I bothered you, I just wanted to talk to someone.”In fact, she hadn't done anything wrong, it was my fault.Seeing her upset and restless, I reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying in a low voice: “I can't tell André what to do or how to feel, but I promise I won't get any closer to him.”Taken aback by my words, Karen looked at me in astonishment, she shook her head eagerly. “I didn’t ask her out that’s w

    “Release her right now!”It was a familiar yet strange voice.The man let go of me and I fell to the ground, trying to catch my breath, he spat on the ground and said with disdain in his speech: “Look who's finally here! What a sissy.”“Stop talking nonsense, I was busy on the phone.”It seemed as if he had been talking to someone all this time.I finally recovered from the cough and turned to look at Andrew, he was standing in the rain, looking like a wild animal, just like years ago when he had left the Moom family.I looked at his face and felt like he was trying to avoid eye contact with me, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.He apologized. “I didn't know this piece of shit would ambush me tonight. I didn’t want to involve her.”I still couldn't speak, so I shook my head in response.I was worried about him because he had come alone, like Karen, I didn't want to see him punched to the ground.I turned around to see how Karen was, she looked horrible, she was lying on the floor

    Andrew Moom. He said in an enigmatic way: “You may not be Natália Moom, but you are a true child of the Moom family, and there is no doubt about that.”I smiled and said, “Andrew, that doesn’t sound like you. Normally, you would say whatever. What do you have in mind, I just want to know the truth. Can you tell me the truth, please?”Andrew I wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly fell on something behind me and said: “When I have time, I will call you again.”I guessed it was Carlos Sky. That was behind me, so it was indeed a bit inappropriate for Andrew to say it here. I agreed, said, “Yes, let’s find a good place to speak next time.”I still felt a little disappointed. After Andrew left. I turned to Carlos. And his gaze was cold as he looked in the direction Andrew had left and asked, “Where do you know each other?”“Yes, I know him, he is a friend.”Actually, I wasn't lying. It was true that I had hidden some things.Carlos didn't ask me anything else. On the way back, I a

    Final chapterUpon hearing this, I got up in fear and took out my cell phone and called Carlos, but his cell phone was still turned off. I called my assistant, who finally answered his cell phone."Where is it?" I asked in a cold voice.“Miss Sky, we’re at church.”He even called me Mrs. Sky.Just like the time we first met 3 years ago.and had called me Mrs. Sky all this time.I used to be Mrs. Sky. However, that was not the case now.“Send me your location.”I hung up the phone and was about to leave when Melanie grabbed my wrist and reminded me. “Your illness cannot be ignored. If it continues like this, there will be no cure for her! Natalia, I spent 7 to 8 years studying this anti-cancer medicine. I had a species of being that was successful. Fortunately, I can save her now. It’s the only thing I can do for you in this life.”It seemed like she was stopping evil with good.I was aware that she was a very evil person.She was unable to reconcile herself with the current situation

    The moment Carlos told me in the morning that Leo had asked him about me yesterday I didn't know I couldn't hide from him. He would definitely hurry to the city of Seattle and take me back to Arizona.I sighed, said. “No, I haven’t forgotten.”“Why didn’t you call me if you haven’t forgotten what I said?”Leo's expression was particularly dark, so I told him my concerns. “I only had an operation a few months ago. Even if this time is successful, I still won't have much time. Brother, my illness is much more serious than I thought. And there is no cure for it.”“So you’re going to let it be like that?”Else turned and sat in my chair. Not having any intention of negotiating with me, she said directly. “Naty, I won’t allow you to ruin yourself like this.”“Brother should pay more attention to your wife.”Leo was speechless.“I don’t want to lie down on the operating table and wait to die.”He frowned, said. “This is the way to save your life.”“But my chances of survival are only 5%.”L

    I answered the call and put the phone to my ear asking, “What’s going on?”Nanci got nervous and answered me on the phone. “Natália, what is the point of telling my father about our personal resentment? What is the difference between you and a child? Being bullied outside and going home and complaining to your parents? You are so childish. You couldn't afford to lose And you even flew away in anger because of the humiliation.”I laughed sarcastically and reminded her, “Since you invited me on behalf of the Lima family, how could it be a personal grudge?”Nanci shouted angrily: “How shameless you are.”“Nanci, You have a true Victory, it can be acquired verbally. The only way to achieve Victory is to deal with others in a Battle. Look at you, what else can you do other than splash red wine in my face? Without the qualifications to be in charge of the Lima and Moom companies, I am afraid that I will have difficulty managing the Lima company. After all, the Lima company has other shareho

    Case took me to the hospital by force. The test results showed that my condition had, in fact, worsened and that I would need chemotherapy to maintain it.I refused chemotherapy. Carlos scolded me with a pouting face. “Battle because your body is the most important thing you have. Your hair can grow back.”He had assumed that I was afraid of becoming ugly without hair.I clung to him weakly and whispered gently. “My condition has deteriorated to a state where I cannot be saved. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life lying in a hospital bed.”Crazy to me, with watery eyes and asked. “Wait to die?”Carlos seemed very disturbed. He held out my hand and I held his hand tightly. And he said faintly: “Indeed, it is very tiring to stay alive.”He pressed his fist into my arm and said, “Nat.”I wanted to be a lie, to say that I wasn't afraid of dying. However, I didn't want them to feel too disturbed. I also knew very well that he would find Melanie to help us when we were at our wits end.

    I said, calmly, “I don’t have much time left. After coming and going, I will write a will declaring to give you my kidney.”“Natália, can you bear death?”She didn't ask me if I could bear death.What if I couldn't?Melanie suddenly turned to look at me and said, gently: “Carlos loves you so much. I already tested it for you. He was willing to marry me to save you. He really loves you very much.”What she said?She said she helped me test Carlos?Wasn't she going to marry cars to get back at me?Was she trying to figure out Cars' feelings toward me?I looked at Melanie in shock and she reminded me: “Concentrate on driving! I want to stay alive.”I removed my gaze and looked back at the road. Melanie spoke again: “Natália, I hope you live well.”Melanie wanted me to see clearly. At that moment, I didn't know what to feel.I would rather she hated me than treat me so selflessly. She must hate me and it shouldn't be like that!Had she always been measuring her will with my own petty meas

    That was his purpose.You were missing a kidney, so she was looking for me.I wanted to reject her, but I couldn't say those words.That was because our Moom family had taken one of her kidneys.I covered my mouth and let my tears fall without saying a word. Melaine’s clear voice was neither sad nor happy “I am suffering from kidney failure and I need a new kidney. Natália, your family took a kidney from me.”“I’m sorry,” I replied as I tried to suppress my sadness.“Natália, I know you’re sick, let’s make a deal. I will treat your illness and you give me a kidney.”If only it were that simple.How could Melaine let me leave so easily?“You don’t blame me?” I asked.“I blame it, but I want to live. Besides, what harm did it do? Natália, the ones who are wrong are the adults.”She was very frank in saying that she had blamed me.But she also said I wasn't wrong.I screamed, “Melaine”...“Natália, can you come and pick me up at the airport tonight?”Melaine asked very frankly, as if she

    A glass of cold red wine was splashed in my face. I closed my eyes tightly. And smile. After a long time. “I got so unlucky recently, always surrounded by a bunch of flies trying to find trouble with me. It’s so disgusting it makes me want to vomit!”I got up and picked up a plate of steak directly, and I threw it in her face. The sharp knife cut her forehead and bright red blood gushed from the cut, she looked at me in complete shock, as if she hadn't expected what I was going to do.I put my hand on my face and firmly warned: “Don't think I can be so unscrupulous, just because I'm not going to take it out on you! Trust me, Nancy Lima, when I decide to do it, not even your father will be able to protect you. And as for this Natália Moom...”Did she think I was scared?I was never afraid. When I was just guilty I never.But the guilt in my heart wasn't the reason she bullied me.I clearly underlined each word as she said, “She can’t defeat me.”The blood on Nancy's forehead ran down h

    Saida answered me frankly: “No.”He didn't ask me, out of curiosity, why I had vomited blood. He simply turned sideways and opened the way for me.I went out to sit on the couch and finished taking my medicine. This time, the feeling of nausea was not as intense as before.I forced myself to swallow the medicine and turned my head to see Zaidan. Still standing the same way. I asked hesitantly: “Are you going back to your city tomorrow? I can take you there in person.”“No need, Luke will come get me.”He still rejected me and I wasn't disappointed.It was just that it would be difficult for us to get back together after this separation.I lay down on the couch to rest. Zaidan suddenly appeared and sat down next to me. I asked, surprised: “Aren’t you going to sleep?”He explained: “I'm not sleepy and Luke's almost here.”“Then I’ll sleep in my room.”As soon as I stood up, Zaidan shouted, “Girl.”I looked at him with a confused look and asked, “What happened?”“You can let me know if y

    Zaidan already considered me a woman who dated different types of men. He even thought I had many partners.And he thought I approached them because of the money.He couldn't explain it to me, and even more so he felt like there wasn't one. there was a need to do so. I simply followed him and replied: “not for now.”After pausing for a while, I snapped, “I’m not going to date anyone permanently. I will wait and see, maybe later I will find someone suitable.”He said indifferently: “If you are short of money, you can look for Luke.”At that moment, my brain went crazy, causing me to say nonsense. However, Zaidan's expression was calm. He didn't criticize me by telling me this was wrong. The way he trusted me, it seemed like he had never investigated me.It seemed like he didn't care who I was!What I had done in the past!And what was I doing just now!In his understanding, I was just a girl.The girl he had never understood, but was willing to help.I shook my head and said, “I have m
