Before entering the house, Silvia calmed herself down. She could not let Mrs. Turner notice that she was upset. "Mom, I am back!" "Silvia, let me take a look at your hand." Mrs. Turner was thinking about Silvia's injury all day and was afraid that it would have gotten worse. Silvia put down her bag and showed Mrs. Turner by raising her hand. "Mom, I went to the doctor just now before going home. The doctor said that it will heal in a few days." Mrs. Turner felt relieved, knowing that Silvia's wound was treated. "Go wash your hands then and let's have an early dinner." "Mom, let me guess what delicacies you made today" Silvia took a big whiff. "Yeah, I can smell the fragrance of pigeon. If I'm not wrong, you must have made pigeon soup." Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "My greedy little cat. You have such a great sense of smell." Silvia held Mrs. Turner in her arms. "Mom, if you continue to feed me like this, I will definitely gain weight." "It's be
"He spent a lot of money on me, but I turned him down..." Speaking of the past, Audrey felt helpless. "I can trade my body for money, but I couldn't do that with him." "Audrey..." Silvia wanted to persuade Audrey, but she did not know how to. The journey in life was different for everyone. No matter where they had been or what they had experienced, everyone hoped that they could live a happy life. "I turned him down, and he let me go as well," Audrey said. "Later, no one dared to make a deal with me. They all seemed to be afraid of something. I didn't know the reason until one day, someone brought it up to me." Silvia quietly listened to Audrey, "That man never appeared in front of me after, but he managed to drive me into a corner." Audrey continued, "I tried everything to raise enough money to pay my debts, but it still wasn't enough. When I was at rock bottom, I looked for him and offered a deal. I stripped naked in front of him, but he did not even loo
At West Side... It was already late at night, but Jayden's house was still brightly lit. The doctors and helpers were busy. Jayden's old illness relapsed because of the change of weather. He had a high fever and once again went into a coma. Besides the high fever, he was also experiencing other medical complications, which made his condition even worse. Dr. York was not familiar with Jayden's bodily condition. Seeing that Jayden's condition was not improving even after two doses of medicine, Carson started to panic. "Dr. York, how is Jayden doing?" Karen Daly heard of Jayden's condition from Julien Glover Kyle, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Now that she had witnessed Jayden passing out because of the high fever, her heart was aching so much that she could feel her heart twitching. "Master Jayden's fever did go down shortly after taking the medicine the previous time, but I really couldn't find out what's the cause this time." Carson Yo
Simon remembered what Kevin had told him many years ago. He dared not forget even a single word. Simon had been serving Jayden for more than ten years. He was a loyal servant, and he had never dared to have even the slightest delay when it came to his master's affairs. He had always kept one point in mind. From the moment Kevin had put him by Jayden's side, Jayden would become his master and his everything. Before doing anything, he would consider whether it would be beneficial to Jayden, and not himself. "Master Kevin, these were the things that you've told me that time," Simon patted his chest, "I've always placed them in here. I remember them with my heart, and I've never forgotten about it. Not even for a single moment." Kevin was satisfied with Simon's reply. He knew everything about Jayden, and he had never planned to cause any trouble for Simon, so he said, "Tell me everything you've found out recently." Simon was the person whom Kevin had arranged
Auntie Cherry said, "Master Jayden is in a bad condition now." Before Auntie Cherry could finish her words, Silvia interrupted, "Did he not take his medicine? Is he not cooperating with the doctor again?" "Master Jayden is in a coma now and I heard from Dr. York that he's resisting treatment... Miss Turner, can you please come over and take a look at him? I believe that his condition will improve if you are here." Auntie Cherry was too worried about Jayden, so she decided to give Silvia a call. Silvia rolled out of the bed while saying. "Okay, I'll be right there." After all, no matter how angry she was at Jayden and how much she hated Jayden for treating her as a substitute, she was indeed in love with him. She still hoped that he would be fine and healthy. "By the way, Miss Turner, Master Jayden's parents are here. Please don't tell them that I was the one who told you about Master Jayden's condition." After all, Jayden's parents did not ask Auntie Cherr
After hanging up the phone, Alina turned to look at Felix, who was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette. She said, "I heard that Jayden is having a high fever and even went into a coma. How are you so sure that Silvia will come to see you instead?" "Did I ever say that I was sure?" Felix answered after taking the last drag of his cigarette. He had never said that Silvia would definitely come. He just did not want her to go over to Jayden's side. Moreover, even if he could not prevent Silvia from seeing Jayden, he could at least make Silvia feel guilty when she was with Jayden. The girl who he had doted on for twenty years could only belong to him. Since he had returned alive, he had no reasons to let his girl be with the man who almost killed him. "But what if she doesn't come?" Alina looked at Felix. She felt that she could not understand this man anymore. He was so mysterious that it was terrifying her. At times, she would even think that she w
Alina had said a lot of bad things about Jayden, but Silvia did not believe any of them. Alina had a bad reputation and it was possible that she was just trying to slander Jayden. However, Felix was different. He was the person whom Silvia trusted the most. As long as Felix said that Jayden was not the one who hurt him, Silvia would believe it, and vice versa. However, just when Silvia thought that Felix would give her a negative reply, Felix refused to utter a word. Felix's silence gave Silvia a bad feeling. She was afraid that things would not turn out as how she had expected. "Felix, say something." After a long silence, Felix cleared his throat and avoided Silvia's gaze. He slowly said, "Silvia, don't believe whatever Alina says to you. What she said is not true." Alina was exasperated to the point that she was stamping her feet. She rebuked, "Felix, can't you just man up and tell her the truth? Do you think you're helping Silvia by hiding it fr
Needless to say, it would be the best if the person who wanted to kill Felix was not Jayden. If Jayden was really the mastermind, Silvia was willing to accept the punishment with him. "If someone has to pay for it, it should be Jayden, and not you. You shouldn't interfere in our matters." Felix's heart ached and his breathing was starting to get a little heavy. Silvia, who used to only protect him, was now standing against him. She was protecting another man with her own life. Felix thought that it was ridiculous. Silvia said, "Felix!" Felix waved his hand and said, "Silvia, I'm feeling a little tired now. I need to rest. You should go home." Silvia was worried. "Felix, how's your body?" Felix smiled and said, "I'm fine." He looked pale, so how could he be fine? However, in order not to make her worry, he still refused to tell her anything. This was how her Felix was! "Go home, Silvia." "Felix, can I come visit you often
...... Eight months later. Adrienne had given birth to a daughter, gathering the entire Yard family in Chatterton Town. Everyone was in high spirits but Jefferson had a sour expression on, as if that was the worst day of his life. Sierra found a moment and went over to Jefferson. "Hey, Jeff. Adrienne just gave birth but why do you have such a long face on? Did you want a son instead or something?" Jefferson responded rudely, "It doesn't matter to me whether it's a boy or a girl. That little girl is our daughter, and I'll love her no matter what." Sierra continued, "Why do you look so upset then?" "Must I have a reason for that?" Well, he was angry at himself. Adrienne had almost lost her life in the labor room earlier, but he hadn't been able to offer any help. Throughout Adrienne's pregnancy, Jefferson had done an enormous amount of research and found out that a C-section birth was relatively safer. Hence, he'd insisted that Adrienne und
...... Johan was still clamming up. Maxtor was so anxious that he couldn't stand still. "Johan, what happened between you and Sierra? Can't you at least explain the situation to me?" After a long silence, Johan looked up and out of the window. "There have been so many fights and misunderstandings between us in the past years and it seems that the past was a time that we can never go back to." Upon hearing this, Maxtor seemed to have put his finger on the crux of the problem. "Did Miranda make Sierra misunderstand you?" Maxtor said earnestly, "Johan, I've told you before that woman has a twisted psyche and you need to stay away from her. You pitied her for being an orphan, but look at what she has been up to." "It has nothing to do with Miranda. It's me. If I..." If he had explained everything to Sierra back then, she wouldn't have felt that insecure about their relationship. He knew everything, but he still got mad at her. Maxtor continued, "He
...... On the first day of school, Miranda was once again met with an unpredicted truth. She found out that Sierra was the top scorer in the entrance exam. She was the overachiever that every university was dying to recruit. Not only did Sierra come from a good family, but she was smart and beautiful to boot. Sierra possessed everything she could have in life. Miranda couldn't figure out why she had to take Johan away from her when she already had so much. What made Miranda even more disappointed was not her inferiority but Johan. On the first day of school, she was over the moon to see that Johan was at the gate to receive her. However, when Johan took her luggage from her and she was wallowing in her excitement to see him, He said to her, "Miranda, that is the girl I like, Sierra. She will be your sister-in-law in the future. You should get on well with her." She didn't want to be nice to her. Instead, she hated her. Mirand
...... Johan's words frightened Miranda so much that her face turned pale. "Johan, Mrs. Silas adopted me. I would have died a long time ago if it weren't for her. How could I have nothing to do with the Silas family?" Johan's face was somber, and his voice chilled Miranda to her bones. "You know that my mother was the one who took you in, but look at what you've been up to all these years?" "Johan, what-what did I do?" Miranda said, trembling with fear. Miranda was an expert at feigning a pitiful appearance and reaping sympathy from others. She even managed to tear up and gazed heart-wrenchingly at Johan at that very moment. However, Johan did not buy into her ploy at all. Not only did his eyes demonstrate her no pity, there was also a trace of disdain that Miranda had never seen before. He loathed her. Upon realizing that, Miranda's heart was broken. Johan had been her dream for those past years. She had worked so hard to do so many things in
...... Sierra wasn't able to refute because what Miranda said was the truth. It was indeed true that many could never compare with her background. However, although she was born privileged, that didn't spare her from putting in effort for her own future. Prestigious universities wanted her because she was the top scorer in the entrance exam but not because of her family background and connections. All of a sudden, Miranda smirked sinisterly. "I know you like Johan, and you want to be with him. Sierra, I like him too, and I want to be with him. You have everything so why do you still want to take my man away from me?" "Excuse me? Who took your man?" Displeased, Sierra said, "Miranda, you were the one who told me that you two were siblings, and that there was nothing going on between you guys. And mind you, you were also the one who encouraged me to go after him." Miranda shouted in a low voice, "Sierra, if I hadn't told you that, would you have remained fri
...... Averting her gaze, Sierra turned around with difficulty. However, just as she had taken a step forward, Miranda's voice sounded from behind. "Sierra, I didn't expect you to come to the airport to pick me up. Imagine my delight to be able to see you on the first day of my return." "You've misunderstood, Miss Attwood. I'm not here to pick you up." Sierra did not conceal her hatred for Miranda as she could not even be bothered to dole out the niceties at her. Miranda chuckled. "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you're still so adorable." It seemed that Miranda couldn't sense the despise Sierra had for her. She approached Sierra with a smile and wanted to give her a hug. Sierra stared at Miranda's outstretched arms and quickly dodged her. A single glance at Miranda and her eyes would be sullied. Sierra thought that she would even throw up should her body come into contact with Miranda's. Miranda was never good at reading between the
...... Stopping her car, Sierra quickly got off to check the situation. No sooner had her feet been on the ground that four men got off from the car in front of her and surrounded her. One of them pointed at her and barked, "Don't you f*cking know how to drive? If you don't, then don't drive. Say it, how much are you going to pay for the damage!" Sierra was driving in accordance to normalcy, but the other party had, so suddenly, cut into her lane without a signal. As hard as she had stepped on her brake, she still collided with the car. They were supposed to be the ones held accountable for the collision. However, they got out of the car and shouted at her, extorting compensation. Sierra suspected that these men had done so deliberately to scam her. She took out her mobile phone and was ready to call the police. However, before she could even unlock her phone, one of the men had already wrenched the phone away from her. "We have something important t
...... In the middle of cleaning the table, Rosie said, "He doesn't only come here to have meals, but he would also get one to go every time. No jalapenos on the one to go. He says that you can't take spices because your stomach doesn't handle it well." Sierra did have a stomach problem, but it wasn't till the point that she couldn't take spicy food at all. Moreover, Johan had never brought any tacos back for her. Sierra figured that he was probably getting it for someone else so she asked, "What did he say to you when he asked you to pack it?" Rosie smiled and said, "He said that he was going to bring it for his girlfriend. He's obviously talking about you, isn't he?" "Oh, his girlfriend." Smiling, Sierra did not put forth any more questions as she knew that Johan had never regarded her as his girlfriend. For him, she was nothing more like a leech that he couldn't shake off. Rosie looked at Sierra and said earnestly, "I know you two fought tod
...... "My ability to act coy?" Sierra said inwardly. She had no idea from where did his temper sneak in again. However, she knew that somehow everything she had done seemed to piss him off. If he didn't like her, then why did he come looking for her? Did he have nothing else better to do? She smiled and said, "Mr. Silas, since you don't like being around me, then let's not meet anymore in the future, nor have any meals together. I'm afraid your appetite will take a nosedive when you see me." "You shouldn't say that, Sierra." Rosie handed one of the plates to Sierra and said, "Every couple gets into fights, but you must know your boundaries. Some words are too hurtful, and you shouldn't just say everything that comes to your mind." Sierra didn't make a sound. She wasn't a fan of others poking their noses in her affairs. Besides, she was not close to Rosie either so she found her rather meddlesome. Rosie didn't seem to register in her mind that Sierra was d
