Love in the dark Chapter 608 Deaf or Dead
Sarah's most serious injury was not on her leg but her face. She flaunted a conspicuous scar that stretched across her left cheek. Although the wound had already scabbed over and had started to recover, the pink scar was still impossible to ignore.It was a devastating blow for a girl whose vanity formed a big part of her life—especially Sarah, who took pride in her looks. Since her hospital admission, she hadn't looked in the mirror. She couldn't bear seeing the prominent scar that now adorned her face.That day, she had been taken away by a taxi. Looking back now, she must have been set up. As soon as she got into the car, she began feeling drowsy and disoriented, and it wasn't until she noticed the scenery growing increasingly desolate did she realize that something was amiss. Sarah had no doubt those people were after her life that day. If she hadn't used her brains, she would have long sunk into the cement.Recalling the incident still sent shivers down her spine. Turning into

It all happened so suddenly.Zoey was pushed into the operating room. Her only option now was a Cesarean section. As the anesthesia kicked in, she drifted off drowsily, unconscious of her surroundings.Rose, scared and confused, paced back and forth by the entrance to the operating room. Taking a moment to calm down, she quickly called Jason to inform him about the surgery. After getting off the phone, she let out a heavy sigh. She clutched her phone tightly, debating whether to inform Zoey's mom. She recalled Janet’s poor health and feared the news would be a big blow to her. But something like this ought not to be kept secret.Rose fumbled around her contacts for Janet's number. It took her several attempts before she got through. Suppressing her trembling voice, she explained that Zoey was about to give birth. Janet still couldn't walk for long periods of time, but as she rushed to the hospital, that was the last of her concerns. This was a brand-new experience for Rose, and sh
Last Updated : 2023-07-22Love in the dark Chapter 610 Paternity Test
Her daughter's hospitalization due to the risk of disfigurement did not hinder Jasmine's plans.She had long kept watch over the nurses in the department. She was certain at least one or two of them kept unspeakable secrets, and swapping babies would be a piece of cake for them. It was this young nurse's first time doing something such as this. She was so nervous she felt like she could empty her guts on the floor.The family members of the mother were all present at the hospital, and each one appeared more influential than the last. She couldn’t afford to provoke any one of them. She instantly regretted her foolishness and greed for some quick bucks.Her timidity looked like it was there to stay. When Jasmine approached her, it immediately spoke for her and expressed her change of mind.Jasmine didn't expect the nurse to be so spineless as to chicken out like this. Her face fell, and she dropped the pretense and niceties. "Who gave you permission to back out of something you agree

When the hospital director heard this, beads of cold sweat began forming on his forehead. Concealing the matter was possible, but it wouldn't change the fact that it was disgraceful."Well, I do understand, but ..." he trailed off. He was in a tight spot. If anyone were to discover anything, it wouldn't end well.Laurence cast a condescending gaze at the director. "Dr. Shipherd, what is stopping you? Feel free to speak up." His tone was gentle, but the words falling from his lips were like ice-cold spears piercing his heart.Dr. Smith wiped at the cold sweat on his forehead. "Once the child is out of the special care unit, we will arrange the paternity test as soon as possible."Yet, Laurence wasn't pleased about waiting. He had already depleted his patience and no longer wanted to brew with his resentment. The more he looked at the child, the more displeased he felt; it was enough to ruin his whole day."Looks to me like something is still stopping you, Dr. Smith."The hospital

Zoey paled at his sentence. Her fingernails cut so deep into her palms in her clenched hands that she was starting to get numb from the pain. She inhaled slowly and glared at him, yelling, "Are you crazy?!" The child was young and still in danger, yet Laurence wanted to draw his blood. He looked down at Zoey sitting in the wheelchair and pursed his lips. He tried to erase the tiny bit of sympathy he felt toward her. The corner of his lips turned upward into a smile, but his next words were cruel. "It's not my child. Why should I sympathize with you?" he said, staring at her so he wouldn’t miss even the slightest change of expression on her face. However, Zoey wasn’t a fool. She swallowed and cleared her throat. "Why do you want to do that?" Laurence bent down and stared into her eyes, the look in his deep and unfathomable. "You really don’t know my reason?” Before she could answer, he smirked and said, "It's for a paternity test, of course." Zoey's guess was right, but she

"I never asked you to come and see him.”"I can lie to you if you're not willing to hear the truth," Laurence said gently as if Zoey hadn’t just been mean to him. "Your son's really cute," he told her curtly. It sounded insincere and hasty. The false compliment did not make her happy. She was speechless and annoyed at the same time. Why couldn't she stop trying to make conversation with him? She knew she should not have paid him any attention.Laurence turned his gaze to her and said with mock politeness, "You aren't happy with my compliment, are you? What kind of praise do you want to hear then?" As he watched Zoey push her wheelchair toward the entrance, Laurence calmly strode forth and followed her. His tall and slender figure starkly contrasted with Zoey in the wheelchair, catching the eye of many. Human nature was hard to change. Laurence had never been an easy person to deal with. Even when he liked someone, he always had his limits and reservations. He wasn’t one to giv

Zoey watched her child very closely, so closely that she was haunted by nightmare after nightmare her first two days upon returning home.Laurence tossed the results of the paternity test in front of her, a faint sneer playing on his lips. Step by step, he closed the distance between them, just as he had when he slammed the pregnancy test report in front of her months ago, demanding to know what it meant.Zoey retreated in fear, feeling suffocated under the pressure the flimsy piece of paper inflicted. Before she could speak, the man grabbed her jaw, sending a sharp pain through her body. She heard him coldly state, "Where do you think you're bringing my son?"The scenes in her dreams always switched up abruptly. In the blink of an eye, she saw Laurence carrying her child away without looking back.She was so frightened that she woke up in a puddle of cold sweat. Even though she knew it was just a dream, the fear lingered. Because of that, she sometimes found herself reluctant to t
Last Updated : 2023-07-25Love in the dark Chapter 615 Wallowing
Laurence had had enough of the stupid thing in his arms feeding from his bottle. He raised his gaze to look at Zoey, who was a bundle of nerves, and asked again casually, "His name's Teddy?"Zoey was beyond worried that he would "accidentally" drop her child. She itched to lash out at him, but with the child held hostage in his arms, she had no choice but to swallow her anger. She replied slowly, "No, that's just his nickname."She took a deep breath and slowly stretched out her arms. "Come on. He's crying. Let me carry him."Laurence glanced at the plump baby with fair skin. "He won't die from crying another second or two."Laurence had little to no patience with children, to begin with. He felt that as long as the child was alive, how he was raised didn't matter."But he does make a lot of noise when he's crying."Zoey didn't dare snatch Teddy back from Laurence with force. She tried to regain control over herself; the least she could do was not look so flustered. She asked, "W

Love in the dark Chapter 757 Got Everything Figured Out
Ryan had a reason for barging into the room. He thought he had seen something he shouldn't have.He had witnessed Zoey's relationship with his brother over the past few years. He hadn't thought so many things would happen between them when they got married.In the end, Laurence fell for her.The high and mighty guy had willingly become the loser for that woman.Zoey could tell from Ryan's reaction that he had misunderstood. Without bothering to explain, she walked straight out of the office.Laurence ignored Ryan, too. He treated Ryan as if he didn't exist and strode out the door after Zoey. Ryan was left alone in the office, dumbfounded.Laurence's assistant greeted him politely. "Are you here for ..."Ryan was still in a daze. He snapped to his senses and said, "I'm here to see my brother!""Mr. Scott just left.""I saw that.""Then, is there anything else I can do for you?"Ryan turned around to leave but returned halfway. He put his arm around the assistant's shoulder as
Love in the dark Chapter 756 Came at the Wrong Time
Zoey could feel the gazes on her as she stepped into the office. There were hardly any familiar faces left in the office.She secretly sighed in relief. She would have felt awkward and at a loss if she had to face the inquisitive gazes of acquaintances.Laurence held Zoey's hand, and she had no choice but to let him do as he pleased. She couldn't resist him.They entered Laurence's office. His office looked cold and plain, just like he was.Zoey noticed he was still grabbing her wrist. She took a deep breath and asked, "Where should I sit?"Perhaps surprised by her sudden cooperative attitude, Laurence raised an eyebrow. After a pause, he kindly reminded her, "The door is locked."Without a key, the door couldn't be opened from the inside.Zoey tried to pull her wrist away. "Got it."Laurence watched her sit on the sofa, and he relaxed slightly. He asked politely, "Would you like something to drink?"Zoey was momentarily lost in thought. She replied, "Warm water will do"Laur
Love in the dark Chapter 755 Opening Up
Zoey was composed. She didn't seem worried about Laurence investigating her past in Novarvia. But deep down, she wasn't confident.Laurence had long lost any moral boundaries. Despite knowing she was married, he showed no concern about interfering in her marriage. He would likely become even more audacious and unrestrained if he discovered that her marriage was fake.Just the thought of it gave Zoey a headache. She never thought getting rid of someone would be so difficult, even if they held a certain position of power. Shaking him off became increasingly challenging.Lost in her contemplation, Zoey failed to notice the driver had changed direction. When she finally realized, the car was parked at the entrance of the Scott Group.Zoey pondered briefly. She thought the driver was sending Laurence off. She waited patiently and remained seated in the car.The man beside her calmly looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you getting out?"Zoey furrowed her brows. "Why should I?"
Love in the dark Chapter 754 Don't Let Me Find Out
Sarah always seemed like she was thriving. Looking radiant, she hooked arms with the man beside her. She no longer looked as worn as she had a few months ago.Laurence was acquainted with the man beside her. His gaze was indifferent, showing neither surprise nor much emotion. Firmly grabbing Zoey's hands, Laurence wouldn't let her leave his side.Laurence had no intention of greeting Sarah or engaging with William. He held Zoey's hand, seemingly aware she didn't want to deal with them either. He turned his face to her and said, "Let's go."Zoey didn't refuse. They left quietly.This time, Sarah didn't stop Zoey. She usually tried provoking her.Once they were far away, Zoey immediately shook off Laurence's hand. He saw her furrowed brows and the undisguised disgust in her eyes. She must have hated Sarah a lot. She didn't even want to see her.Laurence explained, "I didn't know she would be here today."Zoey ignored him and walked ahead. The man behind her suddenly circled he
Love in the dark Chapter 753 A Chance Encounter
Zoey had no idea whether she was acting out of spite or being stubborn, but she arrived at the restaurant as promised. The restaurant had a private courtyard that offered great privacy. She didn't want to cause the person she was meeting any trouble. Neil's wife was once Zoey's client. Both parties were pleased with the business transaction. Zoey didn't like socializing, but she was out of alternatives. She forced herself to befriend Neil's wife. She had something to ask of Neil because her passport application had been dragging on without any progress. Zoey didn't want to lose control of her emotions again. She could still keep her cool if she stayed away from Laurence. To her surprise, Laurence had found out what she had been secretly up to. It was like he had installed a bug on her. She was horrified. "I've heard a lot of good things about you, Ms. Jenner." "You're too kind, Mr. Jackson." Neil was nicer than she expected. He didn't act superior or avoid the topic. Inst
Love in the dark Chapter 752 Hint
Zoey ended the phone call. Without having to ask, Zoey knew what was going on when she saw Laurence. Needless to say, Laurence had taken the liberty to take the morning off for her. She couldn't be bothered to be angry. Instead, she felt numb as it had happened too many times before. Zoey looked down at her changed pajamas and turned to the man by the bed. She asked, "Where are my clothes?" Laurence met her gaze. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. "They were in the wash. They are in the dryer now." Zoey lifted the bed covers and stepped onto the carpet. She made a beeline for the walk-in closet, which was filled with many clothes she hadn't taken with her when she'd left years ago. She picked an outfit and put it on. Laurence was still in the bedroom when she walked out of the walk-in closet. He put on his tie and looked over at her. She glanced at him and said, "You should've woken me up last night." Laurence approached her. He was tall and looked sharp in his suit, with
Love in the dark Chapter 751 Morals
Zoey was fast asleep. She thought she was dreaming when someone lifted her up. Her body clock over the last few days had been regular. She was going to bed early. Now, she couldn't keep her eyes open. Maybe she went back to sleep because she didn't sense any danger.Laurence hooked his arm behind Zoey's knees in a cradle and pulled her arm over his neck to secure her from falling. She mumbled in her sleep. He guessed that she was dreaming.Laurence couldn't hear what she was saying. He leaned in with his ear near her lips, but her mumbling stopped.The chauffeur, dedicated to his job, was on standby outside. Seeing his employer in the distance, he opened the door respectfully.Laurence carried Zoey into the car. The chauffeur closed the car door and glanced again at the woman in his employer's arms from the rear-view mirror. She looked familiar, but he didn't want to make any assumptions. "Where to, sir?" The chauffeur couldn't read his employer's mind, so he was careful not to
Love in the dark Chapter 750 Possessive
The bar wasn't too far from the restaurant. It was less than a ten-minute drive away. Laurence refused to let go of Zoey's wrist. He was bold to show off their closeness even though it was inappropriate. The others could hardly take their eyes off the couple. It was drama in the flesh. If they remembered correctly, Zoey had denied their relationship online two days before. She had even announced her marriage to someone else to set the record straight. What was going on? They had a hunch about the situation, judging by the resistance on Zoey's face. Maybe her ex-husband wouldn't leave her alone. The man seemed relentless in his pursuit. Nevertheless, it was not their business to get involved. At the end of the day, it was between Zoey and Laurence. Everybody quieted down and sobered up. The group caught a cab to the destination. Laurence shamelessly invited himself to join the group, and no one objected, not even politely. They weren't fools. They wouldn't offend the man for
Love in the dark Chapter 749 Your Husband Isn't Home
Zoey felt a tingling sensation along her ear. It felt as if she had been electrocuted. Laurence's tone was half-joking, but there was seriousness behind it. He was ready to tell on her to her husband the moment she nodded. Zoey had lost her patience with him a long time ago. She couldn't help but snap back every time. She looked up. Her face was small. She was about to tell him to get lost when the man took the chance to deepen the kiss. He squeezed her chin, forcing her to part her lips to let him in. Zoey was pinned against the wall. His scorching breath took hers away. She was trapped like prey in a snare. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip became.Laurence didn't stop with a brief kiss. He didn't give Zoey room to breathe, and she could feel her limbs going weak. Her tongue was going numb. The woman opened her mouth, gasping for air. She hung onto his collar to stop herself from going limp. The man was always greedy. He could never get enough of her. Zoey had
