"Are you okay?" Celeste exclaimed in shock."Don't worry, I'm fine," Damon reassured her as he drove as fast as he could despite being startled by the bullet that had just swept past him.The windows on both sides of the car shattered into pieces. The cold wind whistled in their ears. All Damon had in his mind was to get the car to the downtown area as quickly as possible!Their enemies would be wary in a crowded area, and they would be safer.The car got onto the overpass. Celeste looked out from the rear windshield of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and saw two modified black Volkswagens following them. One of the cars even had old blood stains on its wheels. It was likely the one that had run over Caleb!The two Volkswagens were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, one of them leaned out from the car window.Bang! Bang! He shot bullets on the Rolls-Royce Cullinan's front tyres.The Rolls-Royce Cullinan lost its balance and tipped over. The other car slammed into the overturned vehicle

Celeste stared blankly at the man lying in the ICU bed. Her heart ached so intensely that it felt like it was being squeezed.Damon's head and face had been cleaned and bandaged, but it was still evident that he had been badly injured. His eyes were swollen. His face and head were also larger than usual.He was on oxygen and hooked up to various devices. There were no signs of him waking up.Serena was said to have fainted when she came to see her son's condition. Only Liam, Nicholas and Jasper were currently outside, keeping watch."His heart should be stable for now, but due to the severity of his brain injury, there's an eighty per cent chance he'll become a vegetable, and the remaining twenty per cent chance depends on fate." Fiona was a different person from her usual self at work. She showed her strictest attitude as a doctor.Celeste moistened her dry throat with saliva. "Please, Fiona, I beg you to save him.""I'll do my best. However, you can't always stay here. Family m

Celeste brainstormed a million doggone possibilities in just a few minutes. Had Damon really lost his memory from the head injury?The way he looked at her was empty and numb. It was nothing like the way he used to look at her.It didn't take much acumen to notice that because it was so obvious."Damon, who am I? Do you still recognise me?" Celeste asked. She wiped away her tears and gently held Damon's face."Tell me, Damon, who am I?""Celete..." Damon called her name with slight hesitation.Celeste couldn't hold back her tears. She had even been thinking that even if he had really lost his memory, she would be there to help him regain it. Even if he couldn't remember her for the rest of his life, she wouldn't give up on him.It seemed like she had been overly anxious."As long as you still remember, it's good. Do you feel any better now?" Celeste hugged him close again."Yeah, I'm fine," Damon responded indifferently. There was something off about him. That was Celeste's

Taylor went into Damon's ward at one in the afternoon. It was already evening when he came out.Celeste had spent the afternoon waiting on a chair in the hospital corridor. She couldn't hear the conversation inside and felt a vague sense of anxiety. It seemed that things were not as simple as Taylor claimed.Sure enough, Taylor came out looking grave."I seem to have made the wrong judgment，" were his first words to Celeste.Celeste was puzzled. "What's wrong?""I conducted several tests and conversations, but Damon didn't show any signs of shock. On the contrary, he remained rational and calm as he was before the accident." Taylor stated matter-of-factly."Of course, I had mentioned before that someone as strong as Damon wouldn't be easily scared by something like this."About that. Celeste thought she knew Damon pretty well. He was a man who could take it in stride with a gun pointed at his head. He wouldn't easily succumb to a stress reaction."I'd rather he had a stress rea

In fact, Fiona did do this. During her half-day absence, she managed to acquire the drug and inject it into Damon's cerebral cortex.This was her first time engaging in such underhanded tactics during her years of medical practice, and it would be her only professional stain.Damon's emotions were temporarily frozen. He'd fail to fall in love with Celeste, and this would be Fiona's chance to act.Though he couldn't love anyone at the moment, Fiona didn't care. As someone who was results-oriented, she didn't care if Damon loved her or not. This was just one step in her strategy, and as long as it succeeded, that was all that mattered.Damon was lucky to keep his life. Everyone agreed that they couldn't ask too much of him.Celeste gave up most of her work and devoted herself to caring for him day and night until Damon was discharged from the hospital and returned home for recovery.Their wedding was delayed, of course, but Damon's health was more important than that. That was th

Celeste had initially promised her mentor that she would return to Genova in March to finish her studies. However, it was already the beginning of February, and Damon was still in the same state. As such, she sent an email to her mentor to temporarily postpone her return to school.Damon's physical injuries weren't that severe. In fact, it had been less than a month since the accident, and he was already able to work normally and even swiftly deal with Titus.The catalyst for the conflict was a senior elder of the Leopard Syndicate who had clashed with Titus and accidentally shot him in the eye, blinding him. This, of course, caused turmoil within the syndicate. Combined with Titus' behaviour after joining the gang, some suggested that it might be better to hand over the leadership position to Bryan.They decided to rebel in a matter of days. The two factions of the Leopard Syndicate clashed on the outskirts of Taverdale, and the gunfire was almost incessant throughout the day.The

Celeste was taken aback. In the past, she would have thought Fiona was joking or going crazy by randomly producing a pregnancy test. But before she could say anything, Damon's tone suddenly turned cold as he asked, "Was it true what happened that night?"The weight of that question was immense, and it left Celeste stunned.What night? What happened?"Of course, it's true. Did you think you were dreaming? You're still not fully recovered, yet you managed to perform so valiantly. You sure is something," Fiona said with a smile.It was like a bolt from the blue.Celeste sat on the side and was unable to comprehend the situation entirely. She hadn't said a word, but she already felt utterly shattered.Meanwhile, Damon, true to his nature, remained calm throughout. He asked in a stern voice, "Fiona, what do you want?"Fiona replied casually, "I don't want anything. I just want the child to have a father.""You know there's no way I'm leaving Celeste to marry you," Damon said as pati

Damon looked at Celeste's expression and felt anxious. He was now someone who found it difficult to empathise others. He knew he should feel humiliated. Celeste must be distraught. Still, he found it hard to understand her pain. He just wanted to comfort her for now.Without emotions, he was nothing but a walking corpse. Damon had mixed feelings. Reason told him that he should make amends to Celeste."Compensate? Damon, what do you want to compensate me for?" Celeste's soul seemed to have been ripped out from her. She leaned against the door while suppressing the pain inside her. She didn't know how she forced herself to ask such a question."Money, companionship, or anything else. Whatever you want!" Damon said while stepping closer and placing his hands on her shoulders."What if I want you to love me?" Celeste's pent-up grievances surged up. She looked at Damon and sobbed.Damon fell into silence as he looked into her bloodshot eyes.Meanwhile, Fiona stood by and watched the t

He never would have imagined that the intelligent and aloof Celeste would have a day like this, appearing adorably naive and innocent.Damon used to like girls who were delicate and pure, but that changed when he met Celeste.She had a face full of charm and allure, but her expression and personality were always cold and unyielding. She was pale and slim, yet not childlike. On the contrary, she resembled a young poplar tree, proud and upright.Because of her, he began to like girls who sparked his desire to conquer, and he scoffed at those who were simply weak and shy.But now with Celeste like this, he didn't feel annoyed. In fact, not only was he not annoyed, he actually found it cute and interesting.“What's your name?” she asked again."Damon.""Oh, that sounds really nice."The initial confusion in her eyes was gone, replaced by a sparkling glimmer, and her tone carried a touch of a young girl's excitement."You are actually my husband… Wow, great job, me! I've managed to

"What? Aren’t you my husband? Do I still need to avoid you while changing clothes?" The confusion in Celeste's eyes didn’t seem fake.Damon was speechless and didn't know how to respond at that moment.When Damon didn't respond, Celeste suddenly felt a bit nervous."I'm sorry… I can't remember clearly. Aren't you my husband?"Damon raised an eyebrow casually and asked, "Why do you think I am?"Celeste innocently blinked, her eyelashes fluttering like fans. "The nurse said it. Besides, if you're not my husband, why would you sleep with me at night?""What did the nurse say?" Her reasoning was actually logical and undeniable. For a moment, Damon found it somewhat amusing."The nurse said that my husband is really thoughtful," Celeste responded seriously. Then she asked, "Aren't you my husband? Then why would you be willing to stay here with me so late?"This one sentence left Damon speechless.The reason he was willing was because he was a coward. He said that he didn't care abo

Damon frowned upon hearing the classic amnesiac questions being asked."Celeste, are you trying to act out a TV drama?"Celeste still looked at him blankly. "What do you mean?"Damon didn't answer and went straight to the director's office to get Nicholas.Knowing her, she wasn't the type to joke around, especially not with Leo still missing. She must have hit her head hard.Nicholas was equally surprised and hurried back to the room with Damon.Celeste was sitting up, hugging her knees and staring into space."You're awake? How do you feel?" Nicholas asked with a smile as he entered."Why am I here?" Her voice sounded hesitant, and she turned to look at them.Her confusion seemed genuine. Nicholas and Damon exchanged worried glances."Celeste… you don't remember?""Celeste?" She asked, "Is that my name?""Yes.""I don't remember. My mind is blank.""Do you remember… Leo?" Nicholas hesitated. After all, if she knew that her child had been missing for three days, he was wo

"Alright," Celeste said in a deep voice. "Let me see Leo first."They pushed open the hidden door, revealing a staircase leading to the basement."Have Leo come to the stairway corner." She stood at the dark staircase and negotiated with the kidnapper."Mommy!" Suddenly, Leo's desperate cry echoed from inside."Leo!" Celeste ditched everything else and rushed down the stairs.She ran ahead, and as soon as she reached the corner, there was a loud explosion, and a wave of heat hit her face."Celeste!""Celeste!"Damon and Winston's faces changed drastically, shouting in alarm.The basement was empty. It was a trap.Had they been more careful, they would have noticed that both the kidnapper’s voice and Leo’s cry were artificially synthesized. But Celeste, in her desperation to save her son, had been too frantic to discern this.The basement was rigged with landmines. Unfortunately, something went wrong. The mine exploded when Celeste reached the stairway corner, instead of when

What? Damon was also coming? Celeste felt her heart leap, and her voice became sharper as she said, "I can handle this. You can't come!"There was no response from his end.Observing Damon’s silence, Celeste quickly softened her tone. "Damon, listen to me. I can handle this alone. There's no need for you to get involved… because I'm their main target, and they likely won't harm Leo. You need to stay home and wait for him. You need to take care of him later on…""Celeste," Damon interrupted coldly. "Are you planning on not coming out alive?"Of course, coming out alive would be ideal, but she couldn’t guarantee that."Damon, I do have a chance of surviving, but when it comes to exchanging myself for Leo, there can be no room for error. We must follow the kidnapper's instructions to ensure Leo's safety."It was out of the question to provide a false sense of security and pretend to comply with the kidnapper, only to backtrack and get Leo killed.She needed to ensure Leo’s safety a

They checked all the surveillance footage near the Bishop residence and investigated every suspicious vehicle. They also had people keeping an eye on Henry, but after half a day, there was still no breakthrough.The kidnappers had taken Leo to threaten Celeste, and the lack of communication was meant to unnerve her. If it was according to predictions, she was supposed to wait for their demands. But, as a mother, she couldn't just sit and do nothing.Celeste remembered that Shannon had called her, so she found her contact in the blacklist and called."Shannon, did you and Henry kidnap Leo?" she demanded.Shannon laughed coldly. "Don't accuse us without any evidence. Your son is missing? Maybe it's karma. Hahaha!"Celeste hung up, unable to stand Shannon's smugness.Several teams searched for over 20 hours, even involving the police, but still had no solid leads. Celeste suspected Henry, but they couldn't just arrest him without any proof.She was extremely desperate. She didn't e

"Lester isn't as clever as Leo. He's just a four-year-old child, and he shouldn't have done anything like that," Serena instinctively defended Lester. Then, recalling the last time she had misunderstood Leo for similar reasons, she felt a pang of guilt and added, "I don't mean to imply anything… I'll have someone bring Lester here."Celeste nodded. "I'm not blaming Lester. I just want to understand what happened."Soon, the nanny looking after Lester brought him in. Unexpectedly, upon seeing Celeste, Lester burst into tears."Aunty Celeste, please don't hit me. I didn't mean to lose my brother!""Lester, I just want to understand what happened." Celeste was taken aback by his crying but kneeled down to speak gently. "I'm not blaming you. Can you tell me what you saw that day?""Aunty Celeste, don't hit me!" Lester kept crying, not saying a word about Leo's disappearance."Am I that scary, Lester?"At this moment, Celeste felt at a loss. She could communicate normally with Leo,

Celeste perfectly understood what Cedric's implied. "I mean, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to entertain me today."Cedric had indeed wanted to help her that day, but his identity was too special to admit it openly. The scratch on the paper was a subtle hint, and whether or not she could interpret it depended on her intuition. The fact that she could decipher such a subtle hint proved her intelligence and luck.Over the years, Cedric had developed a sense of respect for Celeste after learning about her. He felt she was deserving of assistance, but he couldn't make it obvious."However, be careful. I see that Henry is at the end of his rope and might act irrationally. You should be on guard," Cedric warned.Celeste nodded, having considered this as well. "Henry wants me dead."This was why she had her brother stay abroad and sent Leo to the Bishops. With only herself remaining, it was harder for Henry to use her loved ones against her."Take care of yourse

Celeste's deduction was correct. Cedric intentionally left the mark. As Winston dug deeper, he slowly uncovered a series of issues.It was a bridge project on a highway in a poor mountainous area. Not uncommon.The problem was that the person in charge of this project was a leader assigned from a first-tier city to oversee the development. Officially, he was recognised for his capabilities, but in reality, this task was one he had to succeed in without failure.He had offended someone, and this transfer was a disguised punishment under the guise of a major responsibility.If he had managed it well, the chances of him returning to a higher development role would have been slim. At best, he could stay in this position until retirement. If he didn't manage it well, his entire career could be ruined.Someone of such status naturally had supporters as well as opponents. In such a situation, it was impossible for anyone to sabotage and create pitfalls along the way."It seems the next
