Louis' words shocked Erin to no end. She was utterly stunned and felt as if the world had come to a stop!Seeing the disbelief and panic in her eyes, Louis took the initiative to explain, "Ms. Lane, you must be curious how I was able to recognize you at a glance. Honestly speaking, with your current appearance, I shouldn't have been able to recognize you at all. But I remember your voice. It has always stayed in my heart. Do you know why people call me Aunder's God of Gambling? It's because of my otherworldly hearing. Once I hear a voice, I'll never forget it. Even if two voices are similar or if someone is professionally imitating another voice, they cannot deceive my ears. So, when you spoke for the second time, I was certain of your identity."Erin stared at those extremely mysterious yet sincere blue eyes for a long time. It was long enough for her to sense Louis' emotions gradually intensify. His eyes held a sense of longing after the initial surprise of running into someone aft
Erin smiled rather affably. "Only occasionally; I don't have much time to spare."She didn't want to completely immerse herself in being a nanny. Helping Louis take care of his babies was purely her way of repaying the kindness he showed her many years ago. She couldn't think of anything specific that Louis would need her help with. Therefore, instead of deliberately coming up with something unrelated, she thought she should help him resolve his current problem.Louis expressed his immense gratitude toward Erin. "That's great! Thank you so much! You know, I genuinely don't trust hired nannies. My mother promised to help me take care of the children, but I still occasionally need to work. So, if you can come and help me take care of my children, it will relieve a great burden for me."Seeing how happy he was, Erin knew she couldn't back out. She'd made him a promise, so she couldn't just casually go back on her words in the next second."Let's exchange our new phone numbers so that
Erin's entire body stiffened at this unexpected development.She remained stunned for several seconds, and just as she snapped out of it and tried to push Chandler away, he forcefully pushed her away instead. Erin's wheelchair slid backward with great force as Chandler stood up with a darkened face and walked forward. Even when the wheelchair slammed into the wall with a loud "bang," he didn't even spare a glance at Erin.Sitting in the wheelchair, Erin's head was spinning from the impact, and she felt a surge of dizziness. Her cheeks felt so hot they could burst into flames.She watched as the despicable man who just kissed her walked away as if nothing happened, feeling frustrated and infuriated.Erin pointed at Chandler's towering figure and stammered, "Y-Y-You—"Yet, she couldn't even form a coherent sentence; she even failed to find the right words to curse at him at the moment. Meanwhile, Chandler immediately lay down on his side, intentionally avoiding eye contact with Erin
Chandler's words made Erin raise her eyes to look at him. Her heart hammered vigorously because of his words. It raced so fast that she had to place a hand over her chest to soothe herself. Erin felt her cheeks flush once again. His words got her feeling dazed and slightly dizzy.She couldn't help but ask, "Are you still waiting for her?"Chandler didn't look at her but he replied firmly, "I'll wait for her for the rest of my life."Those ten simple words made Erin's heart soar into the night sky, where colorful fireworks bloomed. Even though the fireworks only lasted for a moment, she would remember them for a lifetime. His words touched her deeply—so deeply that it even touched her soul. Even though he had Alana now, he still reserved a special place in his heart for her. Tears welled up in Erin's eyes. At the moment, she felt truly content, as her past love for him was not in vain. But she dared not admit her love for him now. It had become something forbidden, destined to be l
Erin caressed Asa's hair with tender eyes, her heart softening at the sight of her son.With teary eyes, she asked gently, "Tell me, Asa. Were you scared when you were locked in that room?"At first, Asa nodded. Then, he shook his head and said, "Daddy had locked me up before to prepare me for something like this, so I wasn't very afraid. But I was a little hungry. Those bad people didn't give us any food or water."Upon hearing this, tears streamed down Erin's face. She felt great sorrow for her son and choked out, "You've suffered, my child. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been injured, you wouldn't have wanted to come and see me."Asa reached out his chubby little hand to wipe away Erin's tears. He smiled and said, "Ms. Pamela, please don't cry. It hurts to see you like this. Look, I'm fine. Actually, when they took me away, Rina and Yandell told me they really had no choice because they wanted to save their children. But they didn't make it—"Now, it was Asa's turn to cry. With
Early the next morning, Paulo walked out of Alan's private hospital. He approached a black Aston Martin parked across the street. Swiftly, he boarded the vehicle.Once he settled in, Jenny, who was in the driver's seat, quickly asked, "Boss, what did Ms. Lane say?"Paulo looked ahead helplessly and replied, "She'll be staying here for the next three days."Jenny felt a bit exasperated on behalf of her boss. Upon hearing that, she suggested, "Boss, how about I talk to Ms. Lane and persuade her not to stay here? At least not in the same ward as that Chandler!"She stared at Paulo, waiting for further instructions, but to her surprise, he declined the idea. "Forget it, I have inspected this private hospital. Its conditions are indeed much better than those of Liberty General Hospital. Many doctors here are renowned experts recruited from abroad. I feel reassured with Erin staying here."Then, he continued, "Most importantly, haven't you noticed, Jenny? There are plainclothes specia
Jenny nodded silently. She knew that her boss' threat was just a joke, but she dared not laugh out loud. Honestly, she felt sorry for her boss.It seemed Old Smoker really had a way of provoking her boss. Suddenly, Jenny felt somewhat delighted at her boss' predicament. It turned out that besides Chandler and Erin, there was someone else whom Paulo was helpless against....Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Erin and Chandler stayed in the same hospital room for three days. On the third day, she was discharged.During those three days, whether it was lunch or dinner, Asa came to the hospital to eat with them. Erin felt immensely contented about that.Nevertheless, her injuries weren't as severe as Chandler's. He'd injured his tendons, while the wound on her knee was superficial. Therefore, she was given the option to go home and rest. To prevent Asa from continuously coming to the hospital to visit her, Erin insisted on being discharged.During these
The words Erin and the others had just said in the car were all heard by a man who was situated in a towering building that almost reached clouds. At the moment, the man had an earpiece in his ear as he sat on the topmost floor of an office in a building situated within the Durbaine Marina.Right after Erin blurted the line, "Just think about it. What if Old Smoker is really an old man, and he's unable to perform in the bedroom? I guess I'll dodge a bullet when that happens!" the man spewed the mouthful of pasta he'd been eating.With a dark expression on his face, the man reached for a tissue box on the transparent desk but then gave up on it, finding it lacking in finesse. Instead, he pulled out a clean handkerchief with a checkered pattern from his suit pocket and casually wiped his mouth before tossing it into a nearby handmade woven basket.The bull terrier beside him lifted its head and looked at its owner. The man glanced down at his dog and said, "General, that brat, Paulo,
