"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
Clarissa felt very unhappy from the bottom of her heart. As she stared at Dylan, Seeking revenge did not really give the pleasure she thought she would have gotten. "And you... Clarissa!" Suddenly, she pointed at Clarissa's nose and said ferociously, "Do you think I still care about you? You are just a pawn for me to get close to Anderson Silly woman! But don't think too highly of yourself. A woman like you is nothing after you leave the Jordan Family! Not only my dad has passed away, but I have also been imprisoned by you now! You prohibit the spreading of any news that might ruin your reputation so that you could enjoy the worship and admiration coming from countless people, but... but what about me?! I have nothing!" She suddenly covered her face and wept bitterly. Looking at how crazy she was now, Clarissa couldn't believe that Dylan was the lovely little girl who had been by her side for so many years. She didn't know the hatred be
Clarissa was slightly stunned. Lauren continued, "Clarissa, you are a mother to two children. Don't be too hard on yourself. After all, he has the Ethanbez Family backing him, so F Country is considered as his turf. "Even if it is for my sake, he will help you. Don't let it stop you from asking him for help because of what happened in the past." Clarissa felt warm listening to her kind words. Her fingers which were holding on to her phone tightened a little. Then, she nodded her head solemnly. "Well, I know. Don't worry." Only then did Lauren was relieved. After hanging up the phone, Clarissa remembered that Anderson said that he wanted to eat Chinese food in the morning. They were already sick of the hospital food after having it for the past few days. She thought about it and saw that it was still early, so she was about to go out to buy something. At first, David wanted to ask her to rest and he would go on her behalf, but Claris
It's all Jameson's fault! He clearly told them that he won't be back during this period of time. But today, he suddenly came back! If he hadn't demanded to audit the accounts in advance, if he hadn't informed the board of directors, if it hadn't been for him... How did she end up this way? She was glaring at Jameson with anger, and she really wanted to threaten him by asserting her seniority. However, when she met Jameson's deep and cold eyes, Lia immediately backed down as fear rose in her heart, as usual. She then subconsciously turned her eyes away. "Where is Issac?" Elicia asked. "I... I don't know," Lia said in a low voice. "You don't even know this! You are clueless about everything! What else do you know?" Elicia got angry and threw a cup of tea at her. She didn't dare to dodge and the teacup hit her right in her face, leaving her in a mess. Fortunately, the tea was not hot. After all, Elicia had not used all her streng
