Amelia spoke slowly and deliberately, “Who is that person?”“I… I don’t know.”Grace’s eyes darted around nervously, as if terrified of something. “I can’t say. No one can say. It’ll bring divine punishment.”Amelia studied her erratic behavior.She looked almost… possessed.Reaching out, she pressed two fingers to Grace’s wrist, checking her pulse.Chaotic. Unstable. Unnatural.Amelia lifted her chin and carefully examined her pupils.Her gaze turned cold.“Someone has put a curse on you?”Grace suddenly went hysterical, slapping herself across the face.“Talking too much! Talking too much!”Then, she started crying.“Mia, you have to study hard, do you hear me?”“Mom is counting on you.”“If you pass the exams, Mom can move to the big city and live a good life.”She grabbed Amelia’s hand, her voice full of expectation.“Mia, you’ve already promised to buy a house for your brother, right?”“I knew it! You’ve always been the most filial child, so much better than that useless daughter
Thud!Henry’s phone slipped from his hand and hit the floor.He was completely stunned.Suddenly, all the things he had said to his boss before came flooding back—Especially their first meeting when he had kept calling her “little sister” this and “little sister” that.And how he had even bragged to Jaxon Beam and the others, saying he would “protect” her.Now that he thought about it…That meaningful smile his boss had given him back then—Henry almost knelt on the spot!Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Boss had been by his side all along.He had always thought Boss must be some strategic mastermind, a powerful figure sitting in a skyscraper’s top-floor office, controlling everything from behind the scenes.But in reality…She was even younger than him?!And that face of hers—she didn’t look like a doctor at all! She looked more like an actress!Wait—Wasn’t she also the “fake heiress” that the Remington family had rejected?!Henry’s brain buzzed.He snatched up his p
After the last exam incident, Sam had stopped actively contacting Mia.But the moment she heard that they had arrived in New York, she immediately arranged their hotel, carefully planned their itinerary, and made every effort to accommodate them.Faced with such thoughtful kindness, Sam found it hard to refuse."Don’t worry," he reassured her. "Grandpa isn’t that old-fashioned."Dr. Hart, however, wasn’t so easily impressed.He didn’t bother himself with the complicated social entanglements of young people, but from the fact that Mia had been back for so long and never once visited Milton, he already had a bad impression of her.Still, since she had come in person, he wouldn’t rudely turn her away. Maintaining his usual politeness, he nodded and greeted her,"Sam."Sam stepped forward. "Grandpa, Mia came to see you."Dr. Hart nodded again and gave Mia a polite but distant smile."Mia, I have a meeting today. I’m quite busy."Then, turning to his good-for-nothing grandson, he instructe
Edgar still felt a little dazed.He had searched for her for so long, even asking his second sister to help inquire about Miss Amelia’s whereabouts.Now, thinking back—What an awkward situation.Amelia, however, seemed completely unchanged.Seeing him, she simply greeted,"Big Brother."Edgar choked on air and started coughing violently.There was no way he could accept that title now!Amelia raised an eyebrow at his reaction.Edgar took a deep breath to steady himself, then said, somewhat unnaturally and respectfully,"Could… could we speak in private?"Amelia smiled lazily."I have a pretty good idea of what you want to say. Are you in a hurry?""If not, I’d like to go have hot pot with your so-called distant relative Young Master first."Performing surgery burned a lot of energy.The only thing she had eaten all day was a bowl of instant noodles laced with medicine.Now, she was genuinely starving.Besides, she needed some time to think through her situation.Edgar instinctively w
Perhaps it was because of his elegant and ascetic aura, but whatever Carl wore seemed to suit him perfectly.Amelia couldn’t help but glance at his wrist twice.Then, suddenly, she asked,"What’s the Cromwell family’s attitude toward this Miss Amelia?"Carl gave a faint smile as he placed a slice of lamb into her bowl."Mr. Cromwell has been searching—both openly and secretly—for many years."Then, he glanced at her curiously."Why are you suddenly interested in this?"Amelia responded absentmindedly,"Just trying to clarify some doctor-patient relationships. After all, you two are distant relatives."Carl’s hand, still holding the bamboo chopsticks, paused briefly.His voice was deep and pleasant."Actually, our ancestors knew each other. We’re not distant relatives. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been an engagement in the first place."At his words, Amelia suddenly remembered this detail.Her gaze flickered toward him, feeling somewhat strange.Sensing her reaction, Carl immediately
icion.The elderly man, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, walked in quickly.His white hair and shoulders were damp with raindrops, and though his noble and dignified aura remained, his expression was filled with deep anticipation.Carl stepped forward politely, just about to greet him—But Mr. Cromwell bypassed him entirely.His urgent yet gentle gaze landed directly on Amelia’s face.His voice trembled slightly as he spoke:"Amelia, Grandpa has finally found you."—Crash!Carl, who had just been calmly setting the table for the old man, suddenly froze mid-motion.His hand, reaching out to place a bowl and chopsticks, stiffened in midair.His usually refined and composed face showed a rare flicker of emotion.He snapped his gaze toward the person who remained unfazed—Amelia.Amelia?His unseen fiancée… was her?Carl’s eyebrows knitted together tightly.Just moments ago, what had he been telling her?That their engagement had been annulled, that she shouldn’t care about it…His grip on
No girl wants to grow up too early. Only hardship forces them to.Their Amelia was meant to be cherished like a little princess—Not to be running around, treating patients just to earn a living.Not to be targeted by traffickers again and taken back to the mountains!Mr. Cromwell’s hands trembled even more.He was so lost in thought that he nearly lost his balance.Luckily, Amelia reacted quickly, steadying him with a hand.At the same time, her fingers brushed against his pulse—Her delicate brows suddenly furrowed."Someone changed the prescription I gave you?""No—cough, cough!" Mr. Cromwell coughed heavily.Secretary Frank and Edgar both looked on anxiously.Without hesitation, Amelia placed a medicinal lozenge into his mouth, her voice calm and soothing."Did you get caught in the rain on your way here?"Mr. Cromwell caught his breath and nodded."Your lungs are congested."Amelia pressed lightly against his acupoints, her voice low yet reassuring:"From now on, don't rush like
Hearing this, Amelia raised an eyebrow."I already told you, fortune-tellers' words are just—mmph!"Carl covered her mouth again.This time, he pulled her into an embrace from behind, his laughter low and rich as it echoed beside her ear."Let's talk in private."Amelia's eyes narrowed slightly, making the tear mole at the corner of her eye stand out even more.Carl’s thin lips brushed against her hair, his tone both elegant and teasing:"I’ll come to you later—then you can bite me all you want.""I’ll also help you say nice things to Grandma.""You sneaking out this time must’ve worried her. She’s probably mad at you for taking such a risk.""I’ll go back with you and help smooth things over."His voice was low and coaxing.Amelia, momentarily charmed, gave it some thought—then nodded.She didn't even notice how close they were standing.How intimate their posture had become.But Mr. Cromwell certainly noticed.His eyes widened in outrage, glaring furiously at Carl.Carl simply smile
The golden Buddha’s light shone down, making the two small figures feel as if they were falling into a sea of fire. Instinctively, they raised their hands to shield their faces.But before they could react, someone was faster—grabbing Road Person No. 1 and ruthlessly yanking off the jade pendant!“You truly never repent.” Amelia clenched his throat, her dark eyes fathomless and chilling.Road Person No. 1’s face turned blue, his feet dangling in the air. He was on the verge of suffocation.He knew—she genuinely wanted to kill him.Panic-stricken, he choked out a desperate plea, “I… I was wrong… I…”“Too late.” The moment Amelia uttered those two words, the corridor’s malevolent energy thickened.Suddenly, a crisp and childlike voice called out, “Big Sister, let it go.”Amelia loosened her grip slightly and looked down.A tiny figure clutched at the hem of her clothes. “If you kill him, you’ll go to jail. We don’t want you to go to jail.”The slightly taller child nodded. “Big Sister,
Amelia withdrew the warding charm and the purple aura swirled in her palm:"Some parents only want sons, not daughters, so they can discard and sell their daughters anytime. Some fathers, after cheating, will push their children off a building just because the mistress says, 'Unless those two burdens are dead, I won't be with you.'" "If the Heavenly Zen truly exists, it should open its eyes and see this." "Stop talking about human principles." "They only want justice, not to be called evil spirits." "Master, who do you think is truly evil?"Master Cloudwalker, his hair as white as snow, paused and seemed to be contemplating, as if the vastness of Zenism was weighing on him.There were those who had once opened the gates of heaven with a single strike, and there were those who gained enlightenment in a single night.He didn’t go downstairs, instead sitting on the spot. His silence was an answer to Amelia.At the same time.Person #1 had opened his eyes. He saw two tiny figures approach
"Fortune."Amelia spoke as she supported herself against the staircase railing behind him. A kiss landed on his lips.The two of them were perfectly matched in height, their faces beautiful in different ways: his cold and abstinent, hers seductive and wild, together exuding an intoxicating aura.The guy who had been chasing after them to catch people, widened his eyes in shock!Was this how the favored ones of Heaven used their luck?The guy exclaimed: "Master!""What are you shouting for? Protect Carl."Master Cloudwalker was so absorbed in his thoughts of breaking the formation that he barely noticed the disturbance. "Don’t let the evil spirits near him."He shouted, "Does kissing count?"Kissing?Master Cloudwalker, who had finally found Malina, was about to cast a spell when he heard the shout.For a moment, he even doubted himself.Had he made a mistake?Could the real evil spirit be downstairs?Otherwise, who would dare kiss the young master of the Jenkins family?!While Master
This made Person #1, freeze. His grip loosened.Only then did Carl’s gaze shift over. His face, handsome and noble, didn’t match the chaotic scene at all."The killer is so vicious. How did you manage to escape?"The little Zen thought for a moment and agreed. "The formation hasn’t been broken, how could you come and go freely inside it?"Could he be another one of Heaven’s favored ones?!These Heaven’s favored ones seemed to come in bulk and didn’t even care about money!The little Zen, who hadn’t experienced much of the secular world, immediately shouted: "Master!"Master Cloudwalker didn’t have time to deal with his disciple. His feet moved quickly as he rushed to the second floor, towards the most vengeful and dangerous aura.Seeing this, Ted thought of making his escape, but the person who looked like a noble young master blocked his path, elegant and refined."Which room on the second floor has the criminal? Can you show us the way?""There’s a killer in there!"Was this person
On the second floor of the hospital, in a dim room,Person #3 seemed to enjoy the attention. He tilted his head and looked at the camera with a manic expression."I heard this show is really popular.""Then, there must be a lot of people watching, right?""Let me go, or these so-called high-and-mighty stars will accompany me in death. I won’t be bored!"Morgan couldn’t handle it any longer. He stared desperately at Sebastian, hoping he could save him.But to his surprise, Amelia stepped forward, blocking his view of Sebastian. It was as if she didn’t care about Morgan at all. Instead, she glanced at Person #3 and said, "It seems like you’re not the one the twins are looking for."Person #3 didn’t expect such calmness while he was threatening with a knife."You, new actor, your acting isn’t bad."Person #3 sneered coldly. "Stop talking about the twins. I don’t have much patience. Whoever you are, go contact the program team, or…"Before he could finish,Amelia moved in a flash, her han
Morgan didn’t dare to resist at all.Person #3 truly looked down on him. He raised a knife and pointed it at Sebastian."Want to save someone? Then tell the production team to stop playing these games. I don’t care how you perform, the police are already outside. Do you think I’m blind? You think by creating a ghost story you can trick the police into capturing me?""Dream on." Person #3 dragged Morgan and walked into the camera frame."I’ll say my demands only once. Don’t come in.""From now on, if anyone comes within a step of this room, I’ll kill one hostage!"Outside, the production team was in chaos.Director Jordan, seeing Carl had already entered the building, shouted:"Who brought this person in?!""I, I…" An intern, adjusting his glasses, stammered: "His resume clearly said he was a doctor. I saw he could perform surgeries. I thought…"The action team had already assembled and was in position."Attention, the criminal has a knife. Repeat, the criminal has a knife. Be careful
At this moment in the hospital, Malina seemed to sense something and suddenly lifted her head!"Sister, someone’s coming!"Malina’s face changed drastically, and she glared at Amelia viciously. “There’s divine fortune in the sky! It’s the person you called!”"You lied to us!" Malina was starting to lose control. "Even you lied to us!"Malina tried to reach out to strangle Amelia, but when her hand touched Amelia’s neck, she paused.Amelia didn’t dodge; she simply stood there, her voice calm. “If you really can’t remember what they look like, it’s either Person #1 or Person #3. You choose.”"What?" Malina stopped short.Amelia’s gaze was deep. “I told you earlier, I’ll teach you how to play the adults’ game. The person can’t be one of the celebrity guests, so it’s simple: they’re a background guest.”“Looking at their faces, Person #3 looks more menacing.” Amelia calmly analyzed. “The middle-aged man also fits the fatherly role. I wasn’t sure earlier, but now that someone’s here, if yo
[I want to know too!][Program team! Let them take revenge! Otherwise, I’ll quit watching this show!]How could they not be ruthless?I came to this world full of hope,But I didn’t expect it to be hell.A long time ago, a left-behind girl wrote:"Life is beautiful, but I don’t want to come back."In an instant, the topic of “extreme survival” dominated the trending list!Associated with it were terms like “favoring sons over daughters,” “admitting that your parents don’t love you is the first step toward self-rescue,” and so on!The program team was anxious; they wanted to control the direction of the story!But they had no way of doing it.If they claimed they were trapped in a ghostly maze, would the audience believe them?"It’s not about believing or not! The whole program will be shut down!"The director of the set tried to get the screenwriters to come to their senses.“Think quickly about how to save the guests!”“There’s still a criminal inside!”As the program team was in a p
Malina shook, as if something had triggered her memory. Her eyes were unfocused.Amelia’s voice continued: "Because of the many inconsistencies, some speculate that after the couple had a son, they felt that raising two daughters was a burden.""Of course, this hasn’t been confirmed. After the incident, the couple hurriedly moved with their son to another city.""Their reason was that they were worried about media interference.""Strangely, the father refused an autopsy, and the mother avoided the topic altogether. Not a single detail was out of place, but they did receive a large compensation from the manufacturer.""The manufacturer even conducted an experiment, and it showed that it was impossible for two such large children to fall into a washing machine at the same time. What really happened, I think you should remember now."As Amelia spoke,Malina trembled all over.Such a huge amount of resentment couldn’t have been caused by a typical murder case.Amelia never believed in coi
