It was sent by Luke, with only one sentence. The corner of Anderson's mouth curled up coldly. His eyes were as cold as ice. Clarissa had been half-awake all the time. After a while, she dreamed that Yasmin had forcefully handed her a water lily with a strange smile on her face. After a while, she dreamed that another man in black was chasing her. She tried her best to run, only to be thrown to the ground by that man. The man took out a knife and smiled cruelly at her. "You know too much. Go to hell!" Clarissa was so frightened that she jolted awake. When she opened her eyes, the first thing that caught her eye was the complex and beautiful ceiling above her head, and then the luxurious room. There was only an orange light in the room. Anderson leaned against the head of the bed with a laptop in hand, busy dealing with something. When he saw Clarissa open her eyes, he asked softly, "You're awake?" Clarissa let out a sigh of relief, got
As expected, Marty quickly replied with a series of vomiting-blood emojis. Marty replied to them, "You... You're going too far!" Clarissa was also speechless, but she was very happy to see Marty was so angry. Anderson looked at her smiling face and his lips curled into a smile. He replied, "Showing Off. Going to bed." Marty was speechless. "You're so cruel!" Marty thought. Anderson put her phone aside, then hugged her and kissed her. "Okay, let's go to sleep!" It was a good night's sleep. The next day, Clarissa and Anderson began to investigate the Sapphire family. Anderson knew Harrison, but the two of them were investigating something against the Hampden family, so he would naturally not go to him. Fortunately, with the help of the Ethanbez Group and also Anderson, it was not difficult for them to investigate, but it would only take some time. Moreover, Anderson had some friends in F Country. It would be easier to inv
Those people got the message and leaned forward as they asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Have you drunk too much?" Sonia seemed to be unaware of their malicious intentions and nodded in a daze. Someone laughed and said, "Then let's help you get to rest, shall we?" Sonia nodded again. They were so happy that they hurried to hold her up and walked outside. They took the lift to the guest room on the 28th floor. As soon as they reached the door of the room, Sonia suddenly muttered discontentedly, "Why are you so many people following me? Go away!" Those people smiled and said, "Of course, we're helping you go back to rest. Look, we even booked a room for you." Sonia looked at him and suddenly smiled alluringly. Her pale fingertips touched his nose. She said with a drunken face, "Pervert. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Let me tell you, don't even think about it. It's up to me to sleep with anyone that I like.
"Of course, we never lie. Besides, it's useless to keep a person in the organization forcefully if he or she doesn't believe in it anymore." "Okay, I promise you!" "Very good, Dylan. You've never let me down. This time, I hope you won't either." Dylan laughed coldly. She hung up the phone without saying anything else. The wind at night was very strong. She walked to the balcony outside and looked at the dim lights in the darkness, narrowing her eyes. After a while, she curled her lips and took out her phone from her pocket. When the phone was turned on, she looked at the phone number that had just been connected not long ago, and there was a complicated look in her eyes. "Seven, I've done my work. I've already sent someone to inquire about the thing that you asked me to help you with. Now I have some information. Is it convenient for you to see me now?" On the other end of the line, upon hearing what she said, Clarissa immediately a
However, no matter how Clarissa was calling out to him, the man lying on the ground still had his eyes shut. Soon, despair washed over her as if her world had faded into darkness at this moment. She let out a shrill scream, "Anderson—" Then, she only felt a fishy taste in her throat and a dull pain in her stomach. Then, everything went black and she fainted. ...... When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a bed. As soon as she opened her eyes, she subconsciously touched the side, but found nothing. Feeling her heart tighten, she quickly jumped out of bed and ran outside. As soon as she reached the door, Clarissa was stopped by a doctor. "Hey, where are you going?" Clarissa grabbed him and screamed, "Where is Anderson? Where is he?" The doctor let out a sigh of relief. "Are you talking about the injured man who was sent in with you?" Clarissa nodded repeatedly with a look of panic. "Where is he? Tell me!"
Clarissa listened to her words in a daze, with no expression on her face at all. Just when the doctor was almost done with the examination, she suddenly asked, "Doctor, you just said, how old is the baby?" The doctor said, "Four weeks and a half." Clarissa thought for a moment. "Four weeks and a half... That's about a month's time, which means it will take about eight months for the baby to be delivered, am I right?" After listening to her words, the doctor suddenly laughed. "Yes, why? You couldn't wait to see your baby?" After a pause, she said, "There's no need to hurry. It can't be rushed anyway. It's no use for you to be anxious." The tears at the corner of Clarissa's eyes streamed down soundlessly. She forced the corner of her mouth to twitch. "Okay, I got it." After finishing the ultrasound scan, the doctor handed the results to her and said, "I will prescribe some medicine for the maintenance of your pregnancy. Please take them on time.
Just because her father's company was involved in a corruption case, they were afraid that they would be implicated. Heh! This was how an aristocratic family was really like! And how a rich and affluent family truly was! They appeared to live a glorious life. However, deep down inside, they were filthier and more selfish than anyone else. Dylan closed her eyes as she raised her head. The night breeze blew over her cheeks. She seemed to still be able to feel the intense pain swelling up in her chest that night. It was a heart-wrenching kind of pain, as if it was deep-rooted in her bones, and could not be erased forever. Just then, there was an urgent sound of footsteps behind her. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear and calm again. The man's angry voice sounded, "Dylan!" Dylan raised the corner of her mouth and turned around. As expected, she saw Luke's angry face. Before she co
After Luke left the building, he went to the hospital first. After learning that Anderson wasn't in a critical condition anymore, he let out a sigh of relief. At this time, in the VIP ward. Clarissa opened her eyes and subconsciously lifted the quilt. When she was about to get off the bed, she was stopped by a nurse. "Miss, your condition is still unstable. You need more rest." The nurse was about to help her to lie down when Clarissa grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "Where's Anderson? Has he woken up?" Luke, who was about to come in with the chicken soup, felt an unspeakable discomfort in his heart as soon as he heard her words. Tears were welling up in his eyes. The first person she cared about was not herself when she woke up. Luke took a deep breath, and soon he regained his composure. He walked in with a smile and looked at Clarissa who was still determined to go out, and comforted her softly, "Anderson is fine. He just ha
"Hey, what are they going to talk about?" Being asked, Lauren looked at Clarissa before turning to look at the door. Then, she lowered her voice and explained, "Jameson wants to move his headquarters back to Ascijan, and recently, he has been battling with the elders of the Ethanbez Family. Most probably, he is here to ask Anderson for some advice." As everyone knew, the Jordan Group did not develop well when Carlos was managing it. After all, Carlos used to be in the military. Although he was skilled in leading his troops into battle, he didn't have much potential for doing business. Moreover, he was magnanimous, so he always put favors before money in business. If it weren't because of his rich family background, it would be hard to sustain his business. On the other hand, Anderson was different. He was a real businessman that was nimble-witted and vicious. Most of the time, when there was a crisis, he could easily turn the tables.
"I'll call you when I'm done," Clarissa added. Seeing how embarrassed she was, Anderson laughed. "Alright, be careful then. Call me when you're done." "Alright." After that, he opened the door and left. About three minutes later, Clarissa's shy voice came from inside. "I'm done." Upon hearing that, he opened the door again, tidied her clothes, and carried her out. As soon as Clarissa lay on her bed, the twins were awake. Then, Anderson carried them out and followed Clarissa's instructions to change their diapers and feed them. In fact, she couldn't feed the twins alone as they were barely a week old. So, they were fed with half breast milk and half baby fomula. Fortunately, they were in good health. When they were holding the milk bottle, their hands gripped it so tightly that sometimes Clarissa could barely take the bottle away. For the past two days, Carlos and Matteo also came. They were here to visi
After sitting down, Clarissa and Sierra held each other's hands and began to chat happily. The topics of their conversation were nothing more about children and families. Unlike Clarissa, Sierra was a housewife who didn't have much opinion. She not only had a gentle personality, but her thinking was also traditional. To her, the man had all the say. That was the reason Gianni and Chloe had the chance to ill-treat her. Last time, Clarissa didn't understand her thinking. Why didn't she fight back when her father was so mean? Even so, after having her own child, Clarissa could gradually understand Sierra's thinking. In fact, she was lucky to meet a nice man like Anderson. After they got married, she hardly suffered any injustice. However, not everyone in this world was this fortunate. In fact, most people led an extremely ordinary life with grievance and joy. Although their lives might be on the tougher side, they end
Anne rolled her eyes. "Don't you know that all newborn babies are small? You were this small when you were young." When Marf heard this, he became more shocked. Although he was intelligent, he was still young, and he was yet to learn some general knowledge. Besides, he lacked of life experience. Therefore, to him, it was surprising that there was such a small child in this world. As for Anne, she was there when Marf was newly born. So, she knew it. While clinging on the cradle, Anne and Marf kept staring at the twins with interest. Out of curiosity, Marf even poked his younger sister's face. When he felt the incredibly soft sensation of her skin, he was so surprised that he immediately withdrew his hand. With that, the baby twitched her lips in dissatisfaction. It seemed like she was going to cry, but she was too drowsy. Hence, she continued to sleep. For a while, Anne and Marf looked at her before being called over by Clariss
Staring at her, Anderson didn't know what to say. Instead, he asked with concern, "Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to prepare you some food." "Okay." Clarissa nodded. After Anderson went out, she scooted over, propped herself up, and looked at the twins in swaddling clothes. At that moment, the two plump babies were clenching their small white hands while sleeping peacefully. Looking at them, Clarissa was overjoyed, and all the negative emotions caused by the pain instantly disappeared. More than ten minutes later, Anderson returned with her food and a doctor. When the doctor saw that Clarissa was awake, he checked her wound and her condition. Once he made sure that she was fine, he called a lactation consultant to help her with breastfeeding. Then, he gave them some important advice before leaving. After that, Anderson placed the food on the small table in front of her. When Clarissa was about to sit up, he stopped he
Anderson looked at her, and after a long while, he realized that his whole body was trembling. Right away, he nodded. When Nora heard their conversation, she pursed her lips and stepped on the gas. At the same time, Clarissa directed Anderson to call their family. Well, since her amniotic fluid was broken, she would have a premature delivery no matter what because the expected delivery date was actually two weeks away. Therefore, they not only had to let Carlos and Matteo know, but they also had to ask Sierra and Robert to come over. Clarissa wanted to call Robert because he could help out if anything went wrong with her labor process. As for Sierra, her presence alone could calm Clarissa down. Besides, asking Sierra to stay by Clarissa's side was better than letting her imagination run wild at home. Anderson listened to Clarissa and did as he was told. After he called everyone, the car arrived at the hospital. Before th
Compared to her life, all the things that happened in the past were not important anymore. Now, Jara's biggest wish was to let Emmeline live healthily. As long as his wish could come true, he was willing to pay any price. After Coby's death, they found some Way Tree from his residence. However, those trees were only enough to last her for a year, and some members of the Marsh Family—who heard about Coby's death—had snatched the rest of the trees. As this tree could affect someone's life, no one would take it out again. Besides, Emmeline couldn't keep relying on Way Tree to survive. Therefore, they must try all ways to develop the antidote. However, a few months had passed, and yet, there was no progression. With that, Jara became anxious. On the other side, Clarissa's belly was getting bigger, and she was going to deliver in half a month. Because of this, Anderson rarely went to his company these days and accompanied her
With a serious look, he stared at Clarissa's belly and said, "I will make a few great robots. When they come out, I'll give the robots to them." Hearing that, Clarissa laughed, "What if your little sister doesn't like it?" Instantly, Marf's eyes widened. Because he was a big fan of robots, he thought that robot was the best gift in the world. So, it was hard for him to imagine that there were people who disliked robots. When Clarissa saw how cute he was, she giggled. On the other hand, Anderson also laughed, "It doesn't matter. If your little sister doesn't like it, you can give her a gift she likes." "As long as it is a gift from you, I believe she will like it." Only then, Marf understood what was going on and nodded. Then, with an earnest look, he promised, "Daddy, Mommy, don't worry. I will take good care of them!" When Anderson and Clarissa saw him acting like a little adult, they felt warm. Since Marf had made a pr
For a moment, Clarissa was stunned as she didn't quite understand what Lauren meant. Her love life wasn't perfect, and in the past, she even been in a relationship with a jerk like Elliot. However, since she got together with Anderson, their relationship had been smooth sailing, and they hardly encountered any setbacks. So, she thought that was how love usually worked. For Cara, Coby had actually persisted for a thousand years. This sounded like a scary and insane thing to do. However, thanks to his love for Cara, he did it. Therefore, if he didn't love her, how did he survive through those years? Seeing that Clarissa was confused, Lauren knew that Clarissa hadn't understood her words. With that, she let out a helpless sigh. "Actually, it's a good thing that you don't understand. It means that you've been living happily. If one day you understand, I will feel sorry for you," she uttered. Once again, Clarissa was dumbfoun
