"What are we eating?"Since the man heard her stomach growling just now, Rosalie acted calmly after she came out.Byron's deep eyes looked away from her. "Let's go downstairs first. I haven't been here for a long time. I don't know if it’s still open."While talking, the two walked toward the elevator entrance.The elevator door opened slowly, and the two entered the elevator one after the other.At the same time, Xander's room door opened a crack from the inside.From his room, he happened to see the backs of the two walking into the elevator.Xander's expression darkened abruptly as he saw Rosalie’s outfit and the man with her.‘Byron Lawrence!‘Rosalie must have come to Hino with him!‘She just rejected my invitation to have dinner together, but she’s now going out with Byron to have supper!’ Xander felt irked by this!‘So, the relationship between these two is really as rumored. They’ve become closer because of Estie!‘If this is the case, then the possibility of me w
"I just think you don’t have enough layers on.” The two walked forward, Rosalie remembered Byron’s misunderstanding just now and explained, "You’re only wearing a T-shirt. Aren't you cold?"Byron turned his head to look at the little woman whose upper body was tightly wrapped in his coat. He reached out and grabbed her hand hanging by her side. "It won't be cold if you get closer."Rosalie was led by him, and the two walked side by side, looking very close.Byron led her into a small alley.From the outside, the alley was pitch-black with no lights at all.Rosalie looked at him puzzled. "The place you mentioned is here?"Byron nodded. "It must’ve closed. Let's go to another place. What do you want to eat?"Rosalie was indeed hungry. Hearing this question, many options popped up in her mind.After thinking for a long time, she finally decided. "Let's have crayfish. I haven't eaten it for a long time. I'm craving for it."Then, she suddenly thought of something and looked at
"Sorry, I really didn't see it just now."Rosalie did not want to cause trouble, so she stood up and apologized, and moved the chair back.Several large and thick set drunks saw her face, their eyes lit up, and they narrowed their eyes as they scanned up and down her figure.Sensing their gaze, Rosalie frowned slightly, feeling very uncomfortable.There was a sudden movement by my ear.Rosalie subconsciously turned her head to take a look, afraid that Byron wanted to fight them impulsively.The man just took a step in front of her and protected her behind him.His tall figure almost covered her whole body."The place here is relatively narrow, and bumps are normal, but brother, since you felt that it is our responsibility, then we will not shirk it. Which table are you at? Tell the boss later and put it on our tab."Byron’s deep voice spoke, looking at the big men in front of him with a cold expression.Hearing this, Rosalie secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Byr
Byron pulled her to sit down on the seat again, "There's still a lot, eat slowly."With that, he resumed peeling the crayfish for her again.Rosalie was bewildered at his calmness.However, she too gradually calmed down.She always felt that nothing would go wrong, as long as she’s with Byron.Just like falling into the water at the beach last time, Byron can always catch her steadily.The two carried on as before.Rosalie also unknowingly accepted that Byron peeled shrimps for herself, the more they ate, the more delicious they became.As soon as they finished eating everything on the plate, those drunk men came over again, this time, each of them had beer mugs in their hands."Hey sweet cheeks, come, let's have a drink and be friends!"Someone made a gesture to get closer to Rosalie, the beer mug in his hand almost hit Rosalie's face.Rosalie frowned slightly, and was about to get up to avoid it, but a big hand stretched out to hold the man's wrist firmly and turned the di
Back at their room doors, Rosalie glanced at the shirt she was wearing."I'll wash the shirt and return it to you."They stayed in the food stall for so long, followed by harassment from several drunks, their clothes smelled like barbecue and alcohol.Rosalie felt a little disgusted at the whiff of her own scent.Byron’s response was irrelevant. "Were you frightened just now?"Rosalie was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what he was talking about. She pursed her lips, then smiled. "A little bit, yes. There were so many of them, we should just leave, there's no need to get entangled with them."Byron frowned deeply. "I don't like the way they look at you."His answer implied that the reason he did not choose to leave was because those people cat-called her.Rosalie was surprised at that, then gradually smiled. "Thank you."She was the one who wanted to eat at the food stall, but in the end caused so much trouble for Byron.The last thing Byron wanted to hear was her
An hour later, the bus arrived at the nursing home.Rosalie sat in the bus and glanced out, only to see that the home was already full of elderly, but there were very few nurses.Coupled with the barren environment in the yard, the nursing home looked lifeless."The elderly valued life more. You see, when we went to the orphanage, the children weren’t so active."Xander's emotional voice sounded in Rosalie's ears. "Maybe it's because too many people died two days ago, and the elderly were frightened. Don't be so blunt when you make a diagnosis later."Rosalie nodded in agreement.Xander told her just now that during their free clinic yesterday, an elderly almost passed out on the spot because of a doctor’s improper wording.Rosalie who heard this became rather wary and reminded herself to be extra cautious about her treatment later.As soon as Rosalie arrived, the elderly who came for diagnosis were divided into two groups.A group of people who were worried about their health
This obviously meant that they still did not believe her explanation!Rosalie had no choice but to look at Xander, hoping he could say something.Xander smiled knowingly as he met her gaze, then turned around and changed the subject. "No matter what our relationship is, it won't affect our consultation and treatment for you, the next person can come over now."He still never denied their relationship.The elderly felt more and more that they had guessed right and looked at them with loving eyes.Now the situation had gotten murkier, Rosalie simply stopped talking.In the subsequent cooperation with Xander, she consciously avoided his misleading actions.A dozen elderly people were diagnosed in a row, all of which were not serious chronic diseases.Rosalie had already prepared for a bad situation, and she felt somewhat fortunate in the face of such an uneventful situation.Fortunately, the old people's condition was not as bad as she thought.But there are also elderly people
Xander slowed down every time he administered a needle, as if to let her see clearly.Rosalie also had more time to think.Xander's acupuncture method was indeed different from the methods she had learned all along, even though she had read plenty of ancient medical books, she had never seen such a method.‘Looks like this must be the unique acupuncture method handed down by the Lancer family.’Rosalie would be confused every time Xander inserted the needle into the acupuncture point.However, when she saw Xander's next acupuncture point, she quickly understood that the two points complement each other."The next few needles are the key points; you have to pay attention."Suddenly, Xander glanced at her, and his hand movements became slower, showing Rosalie the location of the needle.Rosalie stared at his hand intently.When she saw the location where he dropped the needle, she frowned, and her eyes were filled with shock and confusion.Xander's last six needles were not on
The immense pain caused Violet to become delusional. Besides the heart-piercing howls, she suddenly burst out laughing maniacally.She bit her lip until her mouth were filled with blood. Her face was grim and distorted and her eyes bulged out of the sockets.She stared at Rosalie viciously and sneered in a sinister way. "Rosalie Jacobs, so what if I poisoned your mother to death? Who made her a b*tch, unwilling to divorce obediently, and kept taking money from Gordon. She isn’t that great! Hahaha...""......" Rosalie's blood boiled. The seventh silver needle appeared in her hand.At this time, Byron quickly walked to her side and grabbed her.‘If my wife is overtaken by her emotions and takes a step forward, she would be a murderer for sure.’He hugged Rosalie, not letting her go any further.Sophie saw her mother in such pain. She stared at Rosalie with red eyes and kept yelling. "Rosalie, how dare you treat my mother like this? I will kill you! I will definitely kill you..."
When Violet heard Rosalie's concrete words, her face was horrified, and her eyes darted quickly."Rosalie, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever done something like this? Don't try to slander me!" She nervously argued.As everyone knows, she had fallen into Rosalie’s verbal trap."You haven't done it? Didn't you ask Ethan to help you poison Mama? It's mercury. Just a little bit could affect my mother slowly. Just two or three times a month is enough. The long-term accumulation of toxins was enough to shorten my mother's life to a few years. Ethan was so young then and you are willing to use him. Aren’t you afraid that he would accidentally ingest it?"Rosalie's angry face and hateful eyes made Violet look away in fear. Her body trembled uncontrollably."Violet, you still insist on arguing until now. I really couldn't do anything about you a few days ago. However, I can come to you now, which means that I have enough evidence to prove that you used your good son Eth
The chainsaw roared, and the iron chain was severed in less than thirty seconds, followed by two iron doors which collapsed to the ground.Byron and Rosalie walked in through the iron gate.The frightened Sophie rushed downstairs first. When she saw the couple, she panicked and shouted. "What are you trying to do? Breaking into a private house is illegal. I'll call the police immediately!"With that, she took out her mobile phone and feigned intimidation.Rage shot to the top of Rosalie’s head. She rushed over, snatched Sophie's phone, and smashed it to pieces on the ground.How refreshing to be the bad guy.For the past twenty years or so, Rosalie had been a pro at being a good person. She always suffered losses from being kind.The best way to deal with shameless people was to be even more shameless than them. In this way, there was nothing the opponent could do.Sophie was stunned for a few seconds, but she could not stop Rosalie at all."Where is Violet? Get the hell out n
Mama’s last will intermittently recorded the last three years of her life.When Rosalie finished reading her mother’s last word, the dam had broken, and she burst into loud sobs.The heart-piercing grief lingered in her chest. She kept murmuring under her breath. "Mama, my Mama...hurts so much in her life. She was in so much pain!"She tearfully looked at her husband. At this moment, Rosalie was like a frightened little animal, her entire body trembling helplessly.Byron read the will with her. The typically calm and introverted Byron felt his eyes burning and tears streamed down his face.Immediately, a monstrous anger appeared on his face. He exuded a deadly aura all over. He gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "Honey, we must avenge Mama. Violet is not human. She is just a beast clad in human skin!"Rosalie cried bitterly while hugging Byron, inconsolable for a long time.Finally, Detective Carter read the contents of the will and remained silent for a long time.The con
[My dear daughter, my beloved Rosalie, I wonder how many years later will you see this written will? Ten years, or twenty years? Or you may not see it at all."[Darling, Mama loves you very much, I love you too much. So, it is you who gave Mama the courage to accept my fate at this moment. I know very well that my life is slipping away bit by bit, but I don’t feel afraid at all!][However, Mama don’t know why such bad luck happened to you. You were only three years old and just learned to run and jump around, and you’ve just learnt to pronounce the word Mama properly. Despite that, death is around the corner, knocking on my door. Mama feels reluctant, this is such a waste! Mama prays to God, I’m willing to accept anything as long as you live, even if it means falling into hell.][You were suffering from a congenital genetic disorder. I took you to many hospitals and finally found a solution. However, the treatment cost is as high as one million dollars. Mama can't afford this at all
Byron, who has always been calm in dealing with things, felt anxious this time.The car continued to accelerate. There was no time to lose. He needed to verify personally whether the heirloom left by his mother-in-law were really hidden in the frame of the wedding photo.Rosalie also looked solemn, and her heart was beating fast.Violet cared so much about Mama’s heirloom. She was still looking for it even when she could not find it after more than ten years, which shows that this heirloom was of great importance.Perhaps, there was enough evidence in it to prove that Violet harmed her mother.Rosalie truly wanted to know; how did Violet manage to poison her slowly? At that time, she had no contact with Mama at all!In about ten minutes, the car arrived at the Jacobs old house.Early in the morning, Detective Carter still led his bodyguards to search around, knocking on every wall, trying to find some hidden storage space.Upon seeing the eager faces of the young couple, Detect
That voice seemed to unveil Rosalie's dust-sealed memory like an old chest.An image from that year flashed across her mind in an instant.Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Mama and Aunt Lou were eating cakes, chatting and laughing over tea. As the sun set, Rosalie came from the kindergarten on the corner of the street, lugging her schoolbag as she rushed home, less than a hundred meters away.Then, she exclaimed. "Mama, I'm home!"At that time, Mama was so healthy. Her eyes were always joyful, and she was as beautiful as an angel.Aunt Lou was also very young at the time, she had just married and had no children. She liked to ask her Mama for advice on family life issues.How wonderful it would be if life could stay that way forever!Unfortunately, everything was ruined by Gordon.Rosalie’s thoughts were raging. It took a long time before Rosalie came back to her senses and told Aunt Lou that she had returned to Coast City, and everything was fine.Aunt Lou continued to
On the second day of the wedding, Mary woke up and habitually thought that it was her home. She was about to go out in her pajamas.Fortunately, Andrius carried her back to bed just as she pushed the door open.Mary woke up from her confusion and realized her new identity, the daughter-in-law of the Quirke family.The husband held her, but suddenly refused to let go. His hands began to wander naughtily.Mary was astonished. They were keeping each other up until late last night. It was only a few hours apart."Is there any custom ceremony that has not been completed? Does your family need us to greet the elders on the first day after marriage?" She suddenly became flustered, and she was short of breath.She wanted to quickly change the subject, so her man would not continue his passionate torment.It would be really embarrassing if they made any noise this early in the morning.Andrius shook his head, and moved his lips closer, wanting to attack.Mary resolutely covered his lip
In the Jacobs’ old family home, Detective Carter kept receiving calls from the bodyguards, and knew the movements of Violet's family like the palm of his hand."Sure enough, it was a bait and switch. On the surface, two cars set off; one came to us and the other was headed to the airport. In actual fact, they escaped from the basement in a taxi. However, they were indeed unable to escape."Detective Carter summarized his updates and reported to Byron and Rosalie.The detective was shocked. The bodyguards that Byron arranged for him had excellent professional skills and strong execution ability. These men were obviously carefully cultivated.Byron nodded calmly.He sighed secretly in his heart. Sophie reacted exactly the same way as Xander Lancer back then, she chose to escape by water.Indeed, travel transportation such as airplanes and high-speed rails have rigid, fixed schedules and are relatively easy to be discovered.Rosalie's mind was not present at all. As long as the hus
