The next day, Anthony was waiting for Lena at the airport on time. He also knew how to be romantic and carried a bouquet of fresh flowers in his arms. He stood at the airport arrival gate dressed in a casual suit, looking tall, well-built, and handsome.His appearance also caught the attention of many young women.Anthony couldn't contain his excitement as soon as Lena emerged with her luggage. He quickly made his way through the crowd and headed directly toward her.Even from a distance, Lena was able to spot him.She had just stopped when Anthony quickly walked over, pulled her into an embrace, and whispered cheesy words in her ear. "I haven't seen you for a few days, and it feels like forever. Honey, I really miss you."Lena felt a bit uncomfortable and quickly pushed him away. "There are so many people watching. Aren't you embarrassed?"Anthony laughed and said, "Why should I be embarrassed about hugging my girlfriend?"He handed her a bouquet and then pulled over her luggag
"I agreed to the three years, and that's what I'll stick to. I won't shorten the duration," Lena said.She didn't really have any strong feelings for Anthony for now. He would only push her further away if he continued to pressure her.Anthony noticed Lena's attitude was becoming colder, so he immediately stopped talking. He was worried about accidentally making her upset.Lena decided to take the initiative to restart the conversation. "I heard that Edna is at Alice Manor?"Upon seeing Anthony's pitiful expression, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for him.Anthony responded with a hum, saying, "Once we've eaten, I'll take you straight to Alice Manor.""Aren't you going to meet up with Margot and the others?" Lena asked.Anthony shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you there was a surprise? The surprise is at Alice Manor."At the mention of a surprise, Lena felt a surge of curiosity. She had no idea what Anthony was up to or what he was hiding.But she was wor
Anthony held Lena by the hand and stood in front of Royce, giving him a look signaling to stay quiet.Of course, at that point, Royce didn't yet know that Lena was his sister.Watching Anthony's actions, he lay there utterly confused, unsure of what Anthony was planning to do.Anthony gently loosened the tie from Lena's face, deliberately blocking her view of Royce, and smiled as he said, "Guess what I'm going to show you."Lena hadn't spotted Royce yet, so she quickly assessed her surroundings.It looked like there were many bottles and jars around, and a little further away, there were some people wearing blue sterile suits. It definitely seems like a place where research was being conducted.She had no idea what Anthony was up to and frowned as she asked, "What? Is this the surprise you were talking about?""Look who it is."Anthony didn't keep her in suspense any longer and stepped aside.In the next moment, Lena's gaze unintentionally fell on Royce lying on the bed in fro
Was it really his sister, Yelena, who was declared dead just two months after she was born?Royce couldn't quite believe it as he looked at Anthony. He was so overwhelmed with emotion that his voice became hoarse. "Are you kidding me? My little sister died when she was just two months old. How can she be…""I'm not joking with you. Otherwise, why would I bring her to meet you, and why would I save you?"Lena kneeled by the bedside, holding Royce's hand. She was unable to stop crying. "Royce, I really am Yelena. Anthony didn't lie to you. I truly am your sister."She definitely felt incredibly excited and happy, but she just couldn't control herself, and her tears kept flowing uncontrollably.At that moment, she didn't know how to describe her feelings. The feeling of regaining something that was lost gave her the feeling it was more precious than anything she could ever own now.Royce also couldn't hold back as tears streamed down his face.Royce believed what Anthony said after
After Lena responded to Anthony, she moved out of his embrace and looked at Royce, who was on the bed."Royce, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong or uncomfortable with your body?" she asked.She reached out to grasp Royce's wrist to check his pulse and assess his condition.Royce watched Lena's actions with his eyes still reddened. "Knowing that you're still alive, my feelings right now are just like yours—I'm very excited."Yelena, is Pamela doing well at home?"Lena finished checking his pulse and looked at Royce. She nodded as she barely held back her overflowing tears."Yes, Pamela is doing well. Once you recover, I'll take you home. She'll be really happy to know you're still alive.""Alright, you go ahead and leave with Anthony. I want to take a rest."Although Royce had woken up, his physical condition still wasn't the best. He felt a bit exhausted, probably due to his overly intense emotions at the moment, and he wanted to take a nap.Lena could also tell tha
"Because you gave me such a wonderful surprise, I'll try not to argue with you anymore in the future," Lena promised.Anthony gazed intently at Lena, gently raising his hand to touch her neck and pressing his lips together."So, can I kiss you now?" he asked.Lena remained silent, but her gaze fixed on his lips.It had been a long time since Anthony had kissed someone, and he was starting to feel out of practice. He looked at Lena's lips and slowly leaned in to kiss her.Just as the two were about to kiss, they suddenly heard Zyla's youthful voice shouting from a distance, "Hehe! Kissing will lead to having a baby, which means miss is going to have a baby."When she heard that, Lena instinctively avoided Anthony and turned around. The moment she saw Zyla, she froze.Looking at Anthony again, she asked incredulously, "W-Why is she here too?"Anthony explained, "The poison that Zyla was exposed to is the same as your brother's. After I saved her, she became mentally impaired afte
Calvin received a call from Anthony, who told him about the situation involving Royce and Zyla. Calvin held his phone and was in a daze for a long time, unable to react.He could hardly believe it."Are you serious, Anthony? You rescued Royce and Zyla and brought them to Alice Manor?" Calvin asked.Anthony replied, "Yes. I called Lena over so she could meet Royce .""But is this something you did on your own initiative?"Calvin was shocked. Royce was alive? Did Anthony secretly save both him and Zyla without telling anyone? Why did this matter sound so mysterious to him?Even after all these months, Anthony never mentioned it to them."I did it all by myself. Isn't there a laboratory underneath Alice Manor? I've been hiding them in that lab all along."Calvin, Lena was really happy to see Royce. Can we let go of the past issues with Royce for my sake?"Calvin still found it unbelievable."Does Curtis and Margot know about this?" Calvin asked."I confessed to both of them pre
Calvin didn't really care about what he currently possessed. He was even thinking about moving back to Amberville with Natalie and their children after they were born.Natalie was surprised. "Anthony wants to use the military seal as a betrothal gift to marry Lena?""Yeah, and I've agreed to it. Now we're just waiting for Lena to say yes to Anthony's proposal."Calvin looked at Natalie, eager to understand what she thought about the situation.In Natalie's heart, what truly mattered to her wasn't power or status.She held Calvin's hand and smiled. "I respect your thoughts and choices. If Anthony believes that giving the military seal to the royal family would make it easier for him to marry Lena with peace of mind, then he should do so."Let's leave it to them since we'll all be one family in the future. It shouldn't really matter who's in charge, right?Calvin knew that Natalie had always been understanding and empathetic. He hugged her and said in a deep voice, "Yes, that's wh
