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
"Are you really disappointed that I'm not pregnant?" Margot asked. She was left speechless by Curtis' expression.Curtis quickly laughed and denied it, saying, "No, I understand that things like this depend on fate. I'm not disappointed, so don't overthink it.""I'm not going to overthink it. If a child comes into our lives, it means we're meant to be. If not, it means it wasn't meant to be, so there's no point in forcing it."Feeling a bit hungry, Margot got up and gently patted Louis' head. "Let's go and have some lunch."Curtis picked Louis up and held Margot's hand.They had just walked into the house and just sat down in the dining room when the housekeeper reported, "Mr. Crosby, Mrs. Crosby, Mr. Sawyer and his wife have arrived."Margot quickly said, "Tell them to come in quickly."She stood up and went over to greet them.Gabriel led Luna into the living room. When she and Margot saw each other, they exchanged warm smiles and embraced each other.Margot said, "It's been
"Back then, it was because Natalie wasn't Margot's sister-in-law. But now that Natalie is Margot's sister-in-law, can Benjamin and Lilac still be together?" Gabriel asked.He had been thinking about this for a while. He agreed to allow their unborn daughter to get engaged to Louis because he knew that Benjamin and Lilac couldn't be together.Curtis looked at Margot and felt that what Gabriel said made sense.Given the circumstances, Lilac still had to refer to Benjamin as a sort of brother. How could they possibly end up together?"I think arranging marriages for children is somewhat disrespectful to them. Maybe we should wait until they grow up and decide for themselves?" Margot suggested.Parents shouldn't decide on their children's lifelong matters just because they had a good relationship. What if the kids didn't like each other when they grew up? Wouldn't that cause harm to them?Luna smiled. "That's true. I just think that two people who are childhood sweethearts would have
