Elianna struggled to prop herself up, leaning weakly against the sofa.

Joseph, seated beside her, gently brought a spoonful of ginger tea to her lips.

She took a sip and muttered, "It's hot."

Joseph paused, withdrew the spoon, and blew lightly on the steaming liquid. He then took a small taste to ensure the flavor and temperature were just right before offering it to her again.

This time, Elianna took a small sip. The tea carried a subtle sweetness, balanced by a mild ginger tang—an aroma she had always disliked.

At home, she avoided any dish with a strong ginger flavor, no matter who was cooking.

Every time she drank ginger tea, it was always with the coaxing of her elder brother that she would take a few sips.

After drinking half a cup of ginger tea, the intense pain subsided slightly.

She lay down and after a while, Joseph brought a hot pack over and gently placed it on her abdomen, and then covered her with a thin blanket.

"Feeling better?"

Elianna grunted, "A little."

    Elianna had a fleeting, almost insane thought.She imagined herself making this man fall in love with her, becoming utterly captivated by her—subservient, enchanted, and obsessed with her to the point of no return. And then, she would make him experience the sting of betrayal that love so often brings.But it was just a passing fancy,one that she quickly dismissed with a chuckle.Why waste time on a man she despised so deeply? Why indulge in such shallow desires?But...She had reached a verbal agreement with Joseph and she did not want to go back on her word.Elianna looked at Tristian. "Tristian, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I'm not the same Myla I was five years ago."Tristian, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows and said, "Elianna, I'm afraid you'll only get hurt again. He's done so much to you already, even nearly taking your life. I won't let him near you again. If I ever see him, I swear I'll crush him into dust."Elianna had been pampered and protected by the Carring

    The private detective said, "Erik made his debut at sixteen, starring in numerous popular period dramas. His fame skyrocketed, and he gained a substantial fan base. However, there are rumors that Erik is actually the fourth son of the Carrington family in Bryston."Joseph stared at the screen, lost in thought.If he didn't remember wrongly, Elianna had four brothers.If Erik were the fourth son of the Carrington family, then he would be Elianna's fourth brother.Zack had mentioned that the "beautiful aunt" he saw bore a striking resemblance to Erik. Could she be the one Zack was looking for?The thought left Joseph incredulous.Private detective said, "Mr. Kensington, give me an hour. I'd like to hear the young master's description of the person he's searching for. Based on that, I can sketch a portrait."Joseph nodded.One hour later,Zack pushed open the door and walked out, holding a portrait in his hand.He lifted the painting up and showed it to Joseph."Daddy, can you help me fi

    Elianna’s knitting slowed, her fingers stiffening momentarily.She lifted her gaze and met Joseph's scrutinizing look.She squinted her eyes slightly and asked, "So?"Joseph said, "If I recall correctly, you brought back a child with an unfortunate background during your year-long disappearance. Rumor has it you were pregnant by an unknown man. By my calculations, that child should be five years old now."Elianna's facial muscles twitched slightly, "I didn’t realize Mr. Kensington was so interested in my personal affairs."Joseph said, "Who’s the father? Do you even know?"Elianna said, "A scoundrel."Joseph sneered, "The Carrington family hides that child well—so well, in fact, no one’s ever seen them. Who knows what disgraceful secrets you’re concealing?"Elianna's face turned pale, and the movement of her knitting needles became slightly stiff.Livia couldn't help but feel nervous for a moment. "Ms. Carrington...!"Livia began, but her words were cut off by a sharp gasp as a pierci

    Joseph?How did he get here?Elianna suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to remove the needle from Livia earlier, as she had hurriedly left.While leaving the needles in place usually doesn't cause much impact, it's best to let them stay longer to allow the medicinal properties to fully penetrate.Thermal treatments like roasting lamps could speed up the process.Otherwise, the needles left in the acupoints would cause intense, piercing pain.But...She wouldn't feel sorry for Livia!Why should she? Who would feel sorry for her?Joseph must have been heartbroken, that's why he followed her to the Carrington Manor!With that in mind, Elianna looked at Erik and said, "Erik, Joseph has arrived. You go upstairs and take Owen with you. Don't come down."As soon as Erik heard the name Joseph, he reflexively frowned, "What is he here for? How dare he come!"He stood up, looking fierce, but Elianna stopped him.She knew that Erik cared for her, which was why he hated the name Joseph so

    Elianna suddenly froze.Joseph said, "A woman named Myla Rutherford. I searched for her for five years."He turned around, his gaze filled with scrutiny. "Do you know her?"Upon hearing this, Elianna sneered coldly, "Isn't that your 'beloved' wife? Wasn't she already dead in that kidnapping five years ago? And yet, here you are, looking for a dead person and coming to my house?"A sharp glint flashed through the man's cold eyes.He quickly approached her, his long arms forcefully pressing her against the wall, his handsome face inching closer. "My relationship with her was never public. Her true identity—her name, her background—has always been a secret, known only to the Kensington family.?"He paused, and his cold eyes narrowed slightly. "How do you know her name?"The people only know that Mr. Kensington got married with a woman, but they do not know the real identity of this Mrs. Kensington. Of course, no one knows what her name is.Elianna's heart skipped a beat. "Just a rumor. T

    Erik said, "Owen's clothes— not all of them were bought by you. Occasionally, my older brother and I would take him shopping as well. It's just that..."He studied it carefully and came to the conclusion, "This particular set of clothes definitely wasn't bought by me for Owen. I do recognize the brand, but I rarely purchase clothes from this brand for him.""He recognized this brand, the clothes of this brand were very expensive, very expensive.Almost ceiling level in children's clothing.Even the most basic piece cost tens of thousands, while the more elaborate outfits could run over a hundred thousand, or even several hundred thousand for a single set.Though the clothes were expensive, the brand attracted many wealthy clients.Every time Erik passed their counter, he noticed the crowd, but as a public figure, he never dared to browse there himself.Erik asked, "What verbal agreement do you have with that Joseph?"Elianna said, "He wanted me to treat his lover."Erik said, "What?

    Joseph stared at her suspiciously for a second.Elianna innocently said, "What's the matter? Is the crayfish meat poisonous? Or are you just too scared to eat it?"Joseph didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so he took a bite of the shrimp and immediately, he used the facial control he had developed over the past twenty-something years to avoid losing control from the spiciness.Was she doing this on purpose?He had specifically told her he couldn't handle spicy food.Yet here she was, deliberately wrapping the lobster meat in chili oil and feeding it to him.Joseph felt a burning sensation, and then his originally fair face turned red as if it had been congested.Elianna, struggling to hold back her laughter, simply watched him quietly, her appetite forgotten.Although she knew that all his compromises were because of Livia.But she still enjoyed it.Originally, tormenting this man was such an amusing thing.Next, she could continue tormenting him for another three months.D

    Wyatt pushed open the door and walked in.As soon as Elvis saw him, he quickly cast a pleading look towards him.Wyatt walked over and glanced, "What are you doing? Are you trying to run away?"Joseph, "Zack disappeared, I wanted to go back to Bryston."Wyatt walked to the end of the bed, leaned gently against the wall, crossed his arms over his chest, and took a quick look up and down at him.

It's such a long distance from S City to Bryston, and you can't fly.

    Carrington Manor.Tristian parked his car at the entrance, just got out, and the butler immediately hurriedly greeted him."little scion!
