Credence was deeply shocked when he saw the tears that were slowly flowing down Dorothy's face. He immediately put out his cigarette and threw it into the ashtray. After that, he strode out of the door and walked towards Dorothy. He raised his hand to hold her slender shoulders, then pulled her into his embrace. After that, he showed her a bitter smile and said softly, "You heard it, didn't you?" As Dorothy listened to his calm and pained voice, her hands pulled on his black shirt and shook him violently, "Before you left, you told me that the girl who could donate her bone marrow to Belle was called Lily, right? And Jules just told you that Lily had died five minutes ago on the phone, right?" 'Why? Lily was a good girl who could have lived for at least another six months. Why did she suddenly die overnight? Just like that. What is Belle going to do? What will happen to our only daughter?" Dorothy choked from sobbing. There were tears of pain and sorrow in her e
At the same time, in a secure luxury room, Jeremy was holding a phone in his hand. When the man at the other end of the line reported the situation of the hospital, he learned that Credence had agreed to Lily's parents' unreasonable requests. He smiled then his face turned cold and evil. "Good, I understand." After that, he threw his phone on the table that was filled with fruit plates and wine. He raised his head and looked at Melanie, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, she was drinking with her head held high. When he spoke, his tone seemed casual, but it was filled with hostility. "I got the latest news, Credence will bring Dorothy over to a small village in Kowloon City to accompany the little girl you killed last night back to her hometown. You can do whatever you want to Credence along the way, I don't have any objections to that." "Also, how many men do you need? I can get you the men for, but you'd better hold up to our agreement. Either disable or cripple Cr
"Marvin and Jonathan are ready. They're waiting for us." Credence gently supported Dorothy as they walked into the hall of the hospital. He briefly told her about Lily's parents, and also mentioned their unreasonable requests. Dorothy looked away calmly and took a deep breath. "We are all parents. I can understand how they feel. After all, Lily is their only daughter. If we can help them with their requests, then we should." Credence held her small hands tightly and nodded. He only said one word, "Okay." Apart from the obvious things, he still chose to conceal their secret plan from her. He didn't reveal everything to Dorothy for the time being. It was about Melanie, she was like a ticking time bomb that had been set up beside them. At some point, the bomb would ignite and explode with a loud bang, and the two of them would be blown to bits. Therefore, he would take advantage of this trip to Kowloon City to lure her out. Then, he would seize the opportunit
"That's right, I got the information from Juelz." Yezoo was in a wheelchair, Ysabelle pushed him forward with great effort until he was in front of Dorothy and Credence. He raised his head and looked at Dorothy with a smile. "Dorothy, I have just learned that you are my daughter, yet you have to travel so far away with Credence. What a coincidence! I thought that I would be able to take you home today, where you would accompany us for a while!" When Ysabelle first saw Dorothy, her entire body tensed up and was uncomfortable for a moment, but she soon recovered. She twitched her lips and narrowed her eyes. When her slightly cold eyes fell on Dorothy, her posture turned somewhat incongruous, but her voice was still as soft as ever. "Yes, that is exactly my thought as well. 29 years ago, your father and I thought you were really gone, but I didn't expect that after 29 years, we would reunite. This is wonderful, I feel so happy." No one could tell if she was actually sinc
When they received Credence's call, Marvin and Jonathan were in the police station. Melanie was supposed to be sentenced to death, yet Jeremy suddenly spent 200 million dollars in secret to bribe her out so that she could continue to harm Credence and his family. This was a failure in the public security system. Marvin used his family status to put a lot of pressure on the person in Talco City who was in charge of Melanie's case. The person in charge of her case was promoted twice because he had arrested Melanie. Now he heard from Marvin that not only was she released from prison, but she even caused a tragic death in the city hospital. She was suspected of killing an eight-year-old girl with skin cancer. He agreed that this was of great importance and agreed to Marvin's request. He sent a large number of police officers to cooperate with Marvin. Marvin found a remote corner and answered Credence's call. When he heard Credence asking him if he had any news about
Jonathan spoke anxiously over the phone, "Credence, it's like this. Marv is leading a group of combat experts from the police station along with his men. They booked two planes and headed for Kowloon City. But, on the way to the airport, he suddenly discovered Melanie's whereabouts, and assigned his men to follow her..." "In the end, it turned out it wasn't Melanie, but a strange woman who was dressed like her. They went around in circles, before finally arriving at the edge of a cliff. Then the woman took off her mask, smiled at Marv, and disappeared." "Marv realized that Jeremy had tricked him and immediately tried to call you. But you hadn't gotten off the plane yet, so he couldn't get through. He says on their way back, a bridge had been blown up. He won't be able to meet you in Kowloon City for the time being. He says you need to be careful. Melanie and Jeremy, are working together and will never let you go. Their aim is to kill you for good this time!" Credence
"Yes." Credence's eyes dimmed. "This is just a small issue, I'll take care of it. Don't worry about it. You should get some rest after dinner. I'll keep an eye on you. When you've rested up, we'll head over to Lily's house and help with her funeral." Dorothy couldn't understand why Jeremy has to use Melanie to kill Credence. Jeremy was, after all, her brother, they were blood-related. Her own brother wanted to kill the man she loved. This was absurd. For a moment, Dorothy felt guilty as she took a few mouthfuls of soup. She then raised her head and looked at the man sitting in front of her, eating quietly. She whispered, "Credence, I was a little agitated just now... I'm sorry." He turned around and met her sparkling eyes. Then, he moved closer and licked a drop of soup that was on her lips. He smiled affectionately. "It's okay. You're my wife. I chose you, you never have to apologize." Fifteen minutes later, they had finished their lunch. Afte
The sky was dark with only the faint light of a few stars in the sky. In the darkness, Dorothy knew that Melanie must have brought a lot of men with her. However, she didn't know exactly how many there were. But from the constant sounds of bullets being shot, she guessed there were a lot of them. She didn't know how Credence could see Melanie under such low visibility. However, she knew that if she couldn't take good care of herself, she would definitely be a burden for Credence. If that happened, the two of them wouldn't be able to escape at all. Thinking about this, Dorothy bit down on her lip hard. The stinging pain forced her to calm down. She held the steering wheel tightly with both her hands and slowly stepped on the accelerator with her right foot. When Credence jumped out of the car, she had just stopped, but she didn't turn the engine off. So long as Dorothy stepped on the gas pedal, their car would move along the road. Credence however was going
Dorothy and the group didn't buy plane tickets. Instead, Credence used his insane wealth to charter a private jet for them to fly straight to Monticello. Ten hours later, Dorothy and the others arrived at a warm city in the south of Monticello from Talco City, where the north wind whistled past. When she got off the plane, Dorothy felt dizzy. Credence held her in his arms as he gently guided her forward. When she turned around, he saw Yezoo's kind smile, as well as Ysabelle's cold, fake smile. Dorothy suddenly felt uneasey. She lowered her head, pulled back her hair that was hanging from her ear, and asked Credence, "If we really expose her true intentions, do you... do you think that my father... wouldn't be able to accept it?" After getting along with each other for the past few weeks, Dorothy could tell that Yezoo really loved Ysabelle wholeheartedly. He didn't detest her for having worked in nightclubs before this. She concluded that Yezoo was very att
Dorothy looked at Ysabelle, who was standing by the door. She had a bad feeling. She felt that Ysabelle gave off a different vibe compared to Yezoo's kindness. This seemingly noble lady may be her biological mother, but she still felt that something was off about her for some reason. Credence noticed that Dorothy's expression had suddenly soured. He followed her gaze and saw Ysabelle standing with a group of ladies. He immediately pushed the wheelchair to the door and spoke politely but in a somewhat distant manner, "Ysabelle, how long have you been there?" "Not long! Credence, as you can see, Yezoo has hired these nannies for Dorothy. I'm here to see if you need anything else." Ysabelle smiled. The smile on her face was somewhat ambiguous. "I have already arranged for some other people to take care of my wife!" Credence frowned and continued, "However, I've yet to call them over for the time being because Dorothy is still weak." "Well, since you 've already arr
Dorothy recognized this woman who had a sexy body and a pleasant face. She had a good impression of Minnie. She heard Credence mention her a few times from time to time. It seemed like Jonathan was pursuing her. She didn't know how that was going. However, seeing as Jonathan liked to tease Minnie and call her names, she guessed he had little to no chance of winning her over at all. Dorothy slowly turned her head and looked outside the door. She said softly, "I'm fine. I don't need your help right now. My child was only three pounds heavy when he was born. I want to know how he's doing now, and my daughter as well. Her name is Belle. Yesterday, she had a bone marrow transplant operation. The doctor told me that the operation was successful, but I fainted after giving birth to my baby. I don't know how my daughter is doing." Minnie hadn't slept all night. Not only was she looking after Dorothy, she had a hunch that Dorothy would ask these questions right after she woke
Jonathan had a hunch about what was going on. He had been following Credence closely. He stared at Credence's every move with his burning eyes, waiting for the first sign of his weakening. The special drug from Monticello that had been injected into him would last for five hours at most. Credence's body was strong enough to hold on until now. He was able to last for the full five hours. At that moment, Jonathan saw Credence's hands slowly let go of the bed's railings. He was falling backward, Jonathan quickly ran towards him like a gust of wind. He frowned and supported Credence's back. "Credence, hold on, you need to hold on! You mustn't be a cause of concern right now. Dorothy has just given birth. She's so weak that a gust of wind is enough to make her collapse. If she still needs to worry about you, how long do you think she'll last?" The moment he made contact with Credence, Jonathan keenly examined his hands. Credence's muscles and bones seemed to be falling apa
"What's the matter? Why isn't the baby crying?" Dorothy's voice was hoarse, and she looked very worried. She remembered when Belle was born, she wasn't as quiet as this. Her cries were so loud it almost caused the delivery room to collapse. When they heard her loud cries, almost everyone assumed that Belle was a naughty little boy. Instead, she was an adorable and naughty girl. Perhaps she had suffered too much pain and torment when she divorced Credence, and all that despair had affected her in the womb. As a result, when Belle was born, her body was in a poor condition, and she often had to go to the hospital for medicine and infusions. Later, she was diagnosed with leukemia. Fortunately, in the end, Jeremy was kind enough to hand Rosalie, who had matching bone marrow to Belle's, over to them so that they could save her life. Dorothy was elated at the thought that Belle was going to recover. Since Belle's illness could be cured, this little b
Inside the delivery room, Dorothy was given an anesthetic. However, she didn't know whether it was because her nerves were too thick or if the anesthetic didn't have much of an effect on her body. She was still very conscious, and she could very clearly feel the pain. Her stomach felt heavy and was in extreme pain. She felt as though the injection was given to someone else and not her. After struggling for over an hour, she was in so much pain that she had almost turned mad, her mind was in a chaotic state. Her face was as pale as a piece of paper, and she was lying on the delivery bed with sweat all over her body. Her breathing was weak. Sometimes she could breathe properly, sometimes it was difficult. The smell of blood lingered in the air. The attending female doctor continued to cheer her on, "Mrs. Scott, the child hasn't come out yet. Hold on, hold on for a little while longer." Dorothy nodded. As soon as she responded, she suddenly felt her stomach b
When she saw a familiar man rushing inside, Dorothy, who was sweating profusely, and was in so much pain that her vision had gone blurry, thought that she was dreaming. Her pale lips trembled greatly, and her eyes were dull as she looked straight ahead. "Credence, why, why are you here? Your injuries..." Before she fainted, she clearly remembered hearing Jonathan shouting loudly at him, telling him that his body was on the verge of collapse. Where was his wheelchair? Why wasn't anyone helping him push his wheelchair in? He should have gone back to his wheelchair, but why was he suddenly standing in front of her again with such a straight and domineering posture? Dorothy's heart became anxious. She was worried about Credence's body, as well as the child in her womb. Her face turned extremely pale as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar. Her entire body was cold. She was wrapped in two thick quilts as she dealt with the immense pain and shivering cold. The te
Credence raised his hand and massaged his stiff neck. He held that posture for a long time as he stared at the white wall that was connected to the delivery room. His neck was as stiff as a board. It felt numb, sore, and was quite painful. But the pain was nothing to him. He could tolerate it. But on this day, the strain from the gruesome rehabilitation training had begun to spread from his arms to his thighs, torso, and gradually, his entire body. It felt like his muscles were being stabbed with a knife. It was so painful that he, a man who used to train in the special forces, almost couldn't bear it. It was especially painful now that he was standing firmly beside Dorothy as they waited for Belle's bone marrow transplant surgery to end. At 6:30 in the morning, he forced Jonathan to inject him with a stimulant. It was an extremely strong one that could revert his body back to a normal state for a short period of time. However, there were certain rules to
Germaine grabbed the frame of the door and slowly walked out of the toilet. Her face was pale and her body was covered in a cold sweat. She looked like she had just stepped out of a swimming pool. She was wet and sticky all over. During the past month, she had been so worried about Dorothy and Belle's health. She hadn't eaten or slept well for several days, which caused her to have stomach pain and constipation. Every time she went to the toilet, she would be constipated for over half an hour. She tried out all kinds of solutions such as holding her breath, which nearly cost her life. A while ago, while she was waiting outside Belle's operating room, she felt unbearable pain in her stomach and rushed to the bathroom. After over half an hour of torment, she was finally done. Just as she was about to pull up her trousers and leave, she heard someone walk in with high-heels. Then, the woman who walked in closed the door and made a phone call. As soon as the woman s
