Curtis took the earring from her hand and looked at Margot. He asked, "Isn't this yours?"

"How could it be mine? Can't you see I don't even have my ears pierced?" Margot replied.

Curtis paused, holding the earring in his hand, and looked towards the direction of the wooden house.

In a moment of revelation, the image of the old woman flashed before his eyes. Her face was wrinkled, her hair unkempt, and her dress ragged and unkempt.

How could such a person wear such a beautiful earring? Moreover, the eyes of an old person wouldn't be so innocent.

The next moment, Curtis was certain. "She's pretending."

"Hmm?" Margot was puzzled.

Curtis explained, "I said that the old woman we just saw, she's pretending. She might just be a young person. The person we're looking for isn't her."

"Are you sure?"

Curtis held up the earring. "This is the evidence. And I noticed her eyes when she looked at us just now. An old person wouldn't have that kind of vitality."

"What should we do now?" Mar

    Curtis stated that the person inside was a girl pretending to be an old woman, so Margot observed more closely. Seeing her bright eyes fixated on the food in her hand but still deliberately refusing, Margot believed Curtis' words. The person inside was indeed a girl pretending to be an old woman.Margot insisted on handing the food to her. She said, "You should take it and try it. If it doesn't suit your taste, we can make something else for you. Or if you have any preferences, just let us know, and we'll prepare it for you."Unable to resist the temptation of the food, she finally accepted Margot's bowl. "Since you made it for me, I'll eat it. But don't blame me for eating your food if I'm unable to help you.""Don't worry, please enjoy," Margot replied.After accepting the food, Lena quickly closed the door and placed the food on the table. She then began to devour the food. Growing up with her master in this place, Lena had never been outside and had never tasted food from t

    Margot shook her head. She said, "I'm not sleepy. If you're tired, you can go to sleep first.""Then I'm not sleepy either."Curtis looked down at her and asked, "What are you thinking about?""Nothing much."Ye Che tilted his head. He smiled with narrowed eyes, and lifted his hand to pinch her delicate face."I can still see through you. Tell me, what are you thinking?"Even after four years, Margot's face still felt irresistible to touch.Sometimes Curtis wondered, "how can someone be so endearing and lovely?"She was like this, and so was their little daughter. He was content to have them both in his life.Margot glanced at his actions and pouted. "Why do you always like to pinch my face?"This gesture had been his favorite since their marriage. Didn't he know it was quite painful?Curtis chuckled and leaned in. He rubbed his face against Margot's cheek, tenderly saying, "Because I love it. Margot, you are the most precious treasure of my life. Of course, our daughter too

    In the middle of the night, Lilac suddenly woke up from her dream. She could feel her parents beside her, but she didn't call out to them or wake them up. Somehow, she found herself crawling out of the tent on her own. With small, careful steps guided by the bright moonlight, she moved toward the nearby wooden house. Lilac climbed the stairs, and noticed the two guard dogs lying beside the door. However, the dogs didn't bark at her presence; instead, they allowed her to push the door open and enter.Lena saw the child approaching and took her by the hand. She led her through the corridor to her master. Arriving at his side, Lena nodded respectfully and said, "Master, she has arrived."The white-haired man, Bronson, beckoned her over. Lena brought Lilac before him and then stood aside. Lilac, as if enchanted, stood obediently in front of Bronson. She wasn't scared at all of the ghostly figure before her. She just stared blankly.Bronson took Lilac's small hand and examined

    Lena shook her head with a sigh, expressing resignation. Margot couldn't bear the thought of leaving her daughter to live an isolated life here. She turned to leave.Lena watched her retreating figure. She added, "The handsome man who came with you, he's plagued by a heart disease. He's destined to live only up to 36 years old. By calculation, he has only one year left. If you want him to live to his seventies or eighties like a normal person, then you should reconsider our offer." "My master merely wishes to take a brilliant child under his wing to inherit everything. You don't realize how powerful my master is. If he imparts all his knowledge to your daughter, consider it the fortune of your previous lifetimes."Margot stopped in her tracks. She was surprised that the girl knew about Curtis' condition and even stated outright that he would only live to 36. He was already 35; did this mean he had only one year left? Margot struggled to accept this reality.She turned back t

    Curtis' subordinates began packing their belongings.Margot couldn't bear Curtis' stubbornness. She stood in front of him once more and said, "Don't be like this. They know your condition, which proves they can truly save you. Besides, it's not bad for me and Lilac to stay here. They can teach Lilac skills, which would be beneficial for her."She pleaded, "Curtis, please listen to me. If you and Anthony can be cured, it won't matter for me and Lilac to live here."The main point was that her and her daughter's stay could save Curtis. If he were to live only one more year, she couldn't accept it.Yet, Curtis' expression remained icy, his stance unwavering as he looked at Margot before him. "Margot, I've had enough of living without you for four years, let alone 17 years. I can't do it."He turned again towards the wooden house, scoffing coldly. "Some miracle doctor he is. I think it's all just a bluff. They want my daughter? Dream on."Curtis then descended the last two steps and

    After breakfast, with everything packed, the group was ready to descend the mountain. However, Margot remained rooted in the courtyard, gazing at the wooden house, unwilling to leave. Curtis, carrying their daughter, walked back to take Margot's hand."Stop looking. Let's go."Curtis pulled her hand away, insisting, "Ye Che, let's give it a try.""Try what? We still have several sets of 17 years to spend. I told you, once we go back, I'll follow the doctors' treatment properly. I refuse to believe modern medical science is inferior to some rustic methods here. We need to trust science, understand?"Unable to sway him, Margot reluctantly agreed. Yet, as they took a few steps forward, the door of the wooden house creaked open. Margot instinctively stopped and turned back.Lena stood at the doorway, trying to persuade them once more, saying, "Have you thought it through? If you go back, you only have one year left, and the paralyzed man will remain so for life."Margot immediately

    After descending from the mountain, getting in the car, and rushing back to the airport, Margot was still visibly preoccupied. She wasn't ready to give up yet. However, considering Curtis' adamance, she figured she might need to find a way to return with their daughter without his knowledge later."Daddy, I saw a strange person in the cave. His hair was even longer than Mommy's, all white, like a ghost," Lilac said innocently. She was sitting on Curtis' lap, playing with her doll.Curtis and Margot exchanged a glance before both turned their attention to their daughter."Lilac, where did you see this strange person?" Margot asked."In the house where that lady lives, there's a big, big cave inside. It's full of books, and among them, there was a strange person with long hair," Lilac explained.Margot was taken aback. "When did you go in there?""When Daddy and Mommy were asleep. It was when the moon was very bright that I went in by myself."Margot looked at Curtis and asked,

    Curtis noticed something amiss in Gabriel's voice and asked, "What's wrong?""Nothing," Gabriel replied. "I just wanted to ask you about some things regarding that miracle doctor. Is he a man? How old is he? Does he have any acquaintances? Can you help me get in touch with him?"Curtis thought the person was formidable. It wasn't that he was unwilling to come forward, it was just a matter of whom they chose to honor.It was Gabriel who informed Curtis about the existence of that person; Gabriel should know more about him."I only heard about it from my teachers at the hospital before. I haven't met him, don't know him well, let alone whether he's a man or woman and how old.""Is your teacher acquainted with him?"Gabriel sighed and said, "My teacher passed away."Curtis fell silent.It seemed that there was no acquaintance to invite the miracle doctor, so Curtis could only find a child to send over to take a look."Curtis, did you come back from the countryside? Did you retu

    Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An

    So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio

    Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas

    Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m

    Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len

    "If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be

    Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he

    "Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th

    She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
