Standing at Judy's apartment door wasn't Lewis, but John. Hearing footsteps, John turned around with a warm smile: "Working late again, huh? I was in the area after finishing some errands, so I brought you some late-night snacks. Got your favorite pizza." A flicker of disappointment passed through the depths of Judy's eyes, so fleeting she didn't even notice it herself. "Have you been busy too?" Judy spoke as she opened the door, "The pizza you bought must be delicious; I can already smell it." Once inside, John immediately noticed the large bed. "The landlord is quite generous, this bed looks really nice, and it's big," John casually mentioned. Hearing this, Judy felt a bit embarrassed but didn't explain that the bed was from Lewis. "Let me taste the pizza," Judy changed the subject. John asked with a smile, "You mentioned you saw Susan recently, how is she doing?" "I was actually about to tell you about that," Judy replied seriously. "Susan has partnered with some
John is only a year older than Judy. In this bustling city, people without backgrounds like them find it hard to lead a comfortable life. John works in a small law firm and has been employed for three years without any recognition or the opportunity to handle a case independently. His work is exploited by his superiors; he's always assisting, doing the most work for the least pay, without any chance to advance. John, with his clear brows and handsome face, is slightly thin. For convenience at work, he bought a second-hand car and is struggling with rent and car expenses, leaving him no savings, let alone the possibility of buying a house in the city. Seeing Judy's smile makes him feel content. Without money, power, or influence, all he can offer her are these small gifts. He likes Judy but knows she won't be his. Leaving Judy's place around midnight, he still looks forward to the future. At 26, he still has the chance to create a better life where he could offer Judy the
Judy was also afraid of being extorted; she couldn't afford to compensate if she were accused. Grandma nodded, "It wasn't the young girl who hit you." Judy suggested, "Shall we record a video together?" To avoid any future misunderstandings. Grandma cooperated and recorded the evidence. Judy then sent the elderly woman to the nearby hospital to check if her leg was injured. While waiting in line, Judy asked the old lady, "Do you remember your family's phone number? Grandma, why don't you call your family and ask them to come and accompany you? I still need to go to work." Upon hearing the keyword "phone," Grandma took out her mobile phone from around her neck, "I have a phone; my grandson bought it for me." Judy noticed something on the back of the phone case and asked, "Grandma, may I see your phone?" "Here you go," Grandma readily agreed; she took a liking to Judy at first sight, finding her beautiful. Beautiful people are always more pleasing to the eye. J
Judy quickly explained, "It wasn't me who hit her. I brought Grandma to the hospital, and I have a video to prove it." Saying this, Judy took out her phone, opened the video, and showed it to Antonio, explaining the situation in detail. After understanding the whole story, Antonio apologized, "I'm sorry, young lady, I almost misunderstood you. Thank you for bringing my mother to the hospital. My mother has... a bit of a problem." Antonio pointed to his head to hint at the issue. Seeing that Antonio was quite reasonable, Judy said, "It's okay, as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up. Here are the X-rays taken by the doctor. Grandma doesn't have any major issues, just a sprain." "Thank you, thank you," Antonio thanked her repeatedly and took out his phone, "Young lady, what's your bank account number? I'll transfer the money to you." Judy had paid for the medical expenses and examination fees, so she naturally wanted to recover this money. It was several hundre
Some things can change in meaning when passed on from one person to another. If Grandma agrees and Lewis doesn't object, isn't this matter settled? Isabella was particularly happy to call Perona again, "Perona, when do you have time? Let's arrange for both families to have dinner together and discuss the marriage of the two children. We've asked Lewis, and he agrees..." Meike Group. Perona was also happy when she received the call. She knew her daughter had a crush on Lewis, and she would definitely be thrilled to hear this good news. Perona decided to go home and tell Amelia the good news in person. Christmas was coming, and her daughter's birthday was also around the corner. Perona decided to buy her daughter a gift. When Perona left the company, she bumped into Judy, who was coming back from outside, at the elevator entrance. Judy respectfully stepped aside, "Chairman, hello." "Uh-huh." Perona nodded, walked into the elevator, and suddenly thought of Judy, w
Apart from the landlord and her, who else has the key to her home? She heard that the neighborhood had recently been burglarized, and many residents had lost their belongings. Thinking of this, Judy felt a surge of fear in her heart. She spotted a fruit knife on the table, grabbed it, and hid it behind her back. She quickly hid behind the door. The door opened, and Judy's heart leaped to her throat, her hand tightly gripping the fruit knife. The person who entered was Lewis. Lewis noticed someone hiding behind the door. When their eyes met, he also noticed the knife in Judy's hand. Lewis: "..." Judy was also confused: "Lewis? Why are you at my house in the middle of the night?" Judy was shocked. Lewis had opened the door to her house without her permission, using the key. In such a situation, if she reported it to the police, Lewis would definitely be charged with trespassing. "I'm here to deliver something." Lewis walked in confidently, "Put the knife away,
The power went out. Judy instinctively looked up at the ceiling and said, "Maybe we didn't pay the bill." To make sure, Judy went outside to have a look, and the lights were on in the other households. It was the middle of the night, and this was a rented house, so there was no way to pay the electricity bill. Lewis opened the flashlight on his phone and placed it on the table, which illuminated the room. He looked at Judy standing on the balcony, puzzled, and asked, "Why won't you be with me and live a better life? You'd rather live in this small rented house than return to the Royal Estate with me?" Most people would jump at the chance to be with him, but Judy had climbed into his bed and didn't want to be with him. It was perplexing. Judy turned to look at him. He stood behind the light, and the glare from the flashlight made it impossible to see his expression clearly. Judy hesitated and said, "Although this place is small, it's a place that I pay rent for ever
Lewis wanted to find someone, and it wasn't difficult. Twenty minutes later, Lewis received a message on his phone with Susan's address. Lewis also stayed downstairs for twenty minutes, while Judy stood behind the curtains and watched for twenty minutes. Lewis' repeated appearances disturbed her peaceful life and disrupted the tranquility in her heart. After Lewis' car started and left, Judy lowered the curtains and looked at the Christmas tree on the table. She felt mixed emotions. She was just an ordinary person, and it was impossible for her to remain calm when facing such fierce pursuits. The pure gold Christmas tree was decorated with several small diamonds, shining brightly. It was like a domineering president chasing after a Cinderella, could Cinderella withstand it? Judy put the Christmas tree and the earrings Perona gave her away. This cheap and shabby rented house made her nervous because of these two gifts, lest it be burglarized. The next day. Jud
Serina subconsciously glanced at Lewis, who was standing in front of Judy's tombstone. Could it be for him?During these days, Lewis had been very quiet, and his daily routine was to perform the funeral rites for Judy and accompany her on her final journey.He no longer shed tears, but he also had no smile, as if he were just an empty shell.People lined up to offer flowers in their hands, stood in silence in front of Judy's grave for a few seconds, and then walked away, one after another. The funeral lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning.Lewis unexpectedly spoke, addressing his grandmother, "Grandma, let everyone go back. I'll stay here a little longer to keep Judy company."He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when Lewis finally did, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it had changed a bit.The grandmother's eyes were moist, and she nodded in agreement, asking Antonio to see the relatives and friends off.People gradually left, and in the end, only a few people, including Serena,
The helicopter arrived in Birmingham and landed in the backyard of Lewis's villa, where Lewis disembarked carrying the urn."Judy, we're home," he whispered softly, his tone gentle.The others also got off the helicopter, and Antonio, who had already received the news, had prepared a memorial hall at home.After a year, Judy finally returned, but in such a manner.Antonio was waiting at home, and it was only when he saw Lewis holding the urn and getting off the helicopter that he truly believed Judy had passed away, and what Isabella had said on the phone was true.Soon after,The news of Judy's death spread, shocking everyone. How could someone who was fine before suddenly pass away?In the eyes of outsiders, Judy was a person who had survived a shipwreck.Steven also received the news and quickly went to Lewis's house.A memorial hall was set up, with a coffin placed in the hall, and Judy's urn was placed inside the coffin.Lewis invited high monks to perform a funeral service for J
As Hannah said, even if it was a heart-wrenching pain, Lewis would still want to listen. He wanted to know what Judy experienced before her death.Hannah continued, "Judy was afraid of dying because she couldn't bear to leave you and Angel, but we did our best, and the doctors were helpless. She didn't want to die in the hospital; it seemed she was very averse to hospitals. After the doctor said there was no hope, she asked us to take her away, so I took her home, and she passed away in the attic room...""At that time, I promised her to fulfill her last wishes. She couldn't let go of you and Angel, so I went to your side, impersonated Judy, and took care of you and Angel in her place. But I couldn't do it, and in the end, I chose to make you dislike me, to give up on the marriage voluntarily."Hannah paused for a moment and gave a bitter smile, "Judy died when you loved her the most. You will never be able to let go of her for the rest of your life. Judy thought that if you didn't lo
Hannah was worried and wanted to find Lewis.She called the grandmother and only then learned that Lewis was hospitalized in the hospital next door.Taking advantage of the fact that neither Kim nor Guy were in the hospital, Hannah removed the IV needle from the back of her hand and was about to sneak out.However, just as she stepped out of the room, Kim returned from outside: "Sister, where are you going?""I..." Hannah stammered.Kim immediately guessed: "You want to find Lewis? I forbid you to go. You just had surgery. What are you going to do looking for Lewis? He already knows you're not Judy. If he gets angry and hurts you, what then?"Hannah said, "But I can't hide either. Lewis is ill, and everything is because of me. I should go. I owe it to Judy.""You don't owe anyone anything. Judy couldn't have been saved anyway. Even if you hadn't used Judy's heart, someone else would have," Kim said, "Anyway, I won't let you go.""Kim, why are you so heartless?" Hannah got angry, "Judy
Many children nowadays actually understand that the dead are buried beneath the graves.Angel opened her big eyes, which were clear and naive.Such a look, who wouldn't feel heartache upon seeing it?Lewis forced himself to sit up, leaning against the tombstone, his hand stroking it, not knowing how to explain to his daughter.Angel looked at Louis again, "Who is underneath this?"Louis really didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Lewis.Angel's gaze then shifted to Avery, wanting an answer from him.But no one had the heart to tell Angel such a cruel answer.Just when everyone found it hard to speak, Angel reached out her small hand to touch the tombstone and asked softly, "Is my mother buried here?"Angel's words shocked the three of them. How did Angel know?Could it be that there is truly a mother-daughter connection?Seeing that the adults were all silent, Angel suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, it's mommy, I want my mommy."Angel cried her heart out, and Lewis held his daugh
When a person is at their most helpless and desperate, they hope for miracles, they wish for time to go back.The rain continued to fall, and the temperature at night was very low, so cold that it made people shiver.Lewis lay on the grave like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.Louis walked over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "Boss, don't do this. If Judy sees you like this from heaven, she will be upset."Lewis's eyes were open, but it was as if he couldn't see or hear anything. He didn't care about anything or listen to anyone. He just wanted to be closer to Judy by staying close to the grave.God couldn't hear his hysterical cries or see his heart-wrenching pain."Boss," Louis crouched down and persuaded him, "The rain is getting heavier, let's go back first."Lewis's eyes slightly shifted, finally finding a focal point: "Judy is afraid of the cold and the dark. I can't leave her alone here. I need to accompany her.""Boss, I know you're in a lot of pain, but
Isabella's face showed sadness, "Lewis definitely can't handle it. How can a person endure the loss of their loved one twice?"Isn't that like rubbing salt into a wound?"If he can get through this, then we won't have to worry in the future. But if he can't..." The grandmother didn't finish her sentence.Everyone knew the implications of what could happen....Cemetery.The dimly lit cemetery was quite eerie, and someone with a timid nature would probably be terrified to visit.The weather changed abruptly, and a light drizzle began to fall.Lewis, with Judy on his mind, stumbled towards Judy's tombstone after getting out of the car.There were only a few lamps in the cemetery, and one of them happened to be pointing in the direction of Judy's tombstone, making it easy for Lewis to find it at once."Judy, Judy!"Lewis was too eager and overwhelmed with grief. When he saw Judy's tombstone, the sorrow in his heart surged like a floodgate being opened, pouring out. He was walking too qui
The grandmother sighed, "Lewis found out about Judy's passing and couldn't bear the blow.""Lewis knows?" Serina was astonished, "And you all knew too?"Louis was surprised, "Serina, you knew about it early on?"Serina was among the first to know."Yes, Hannah told me before," Serina said, "I was worried that Lewis wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't dare to tell him. How did he find out?""Paper can't wrap up fire," Louis said, "Once Hannah fell and was hospitalized, it was impossible to keep it a secret.""Then when Lewis went out just now..." Serina immediately became worried, "What if something happens to him, or he gets the wrong idea?"Avery said, "He probably went to the cemetery to see Judy."The grandmother quickly said, "Louis, go to the cemetery right away and keep an eye on him. Don't let him do anything foolish.""Okay, grandma, don't worry, I'll go there now," Louis assured her.Louis and Avery went together.Serina took the grandmother back to the hotel first, wh
Lewis was emotionally out of control, looking at Hannah's face, he wished he could peel off her skin.That was the face of his wife.He wished he could dig out her heart, for it belonged to his wife.Hannah was unworthy, unworthy of possessing everything that belonged to Judy.If it weren't for this heart, how could he have been deceived and confused, mistaking Hannah for his wife? All the familiarity that Hannah gave him was because of this heart.Angel recognized Hannah as her mother, and that was also because of this heart.In Lewis's eyes, Hannah was the murderer, one of those responsible for Judy's death.Hannah did not defend herself; she knew that Lewis was in a state of rage and would not listen to anything.No one could accept such a thing.Lewis wanted to strangle Hannah, but looking at that face, he couldn't bring himself to do it; it was no different from killing Judy himself.The people outside the room couldn't see what was happening inside, but they could hear it.Reali
