However, the cruel reality was right in front of Mia Kyle. Her kind grandfather had sent someone to kidnap little Karen, and his subordinate shot her brother... Mia could pretend to ignore the things he had done in the past, that those events were not real, but merely mistakes from someone else. However, she had witnessed with her very own eyes that little Karen being kidnapped and Kevin Kyle being shot. She watched as Assistant Hart shot her brother and the blood had gushed out and dyed his white shirt red. If she could turn a blind eye on these as if nothing had happened and still regarded this old man as the kind and amiable grandfather, then what was the difference between her and a monster? "Mia, I'm your grandpa..." "I don't have a grandfather like you, and I don't want a grandfather like you." Every ruthless word Mia said cut her heart. She screamed to hide those sorrow. It still hurt a lot even after she had promised herself that she wo
The light on the emergency operating theatre of Chatterton Town's Military Hospital was still on. Karen Daly was waiting anxiously outside the operating theatre. During the long wait, Karen had been biting her lips. Her teeth had cut into her lips and blood had seeped into her mouth. She clenched her fists and her nails sank deeply into the flesh of her palms causing them to bleed too. It seemed that she was using this method to punish herself. At the same time, she wanted to calm herself down so that she would not be so worried and afraid. She had to believe that Kevin Kyle would be fine and nothing would happen to him... No matter how critical the situation was, she believed that Kevin would definitely make it through and return to little Karen and her. No matter how Karen comforted herself, She couldn't banish the fear and worry in her heart. So long as the operation theatre's light didn't go out, and the operation was still on-going;
Mia Kyle was so quiet that she was not her usual self, and it was a heartache to see her like this. But Master Perth did not know how to help her. Mia had lived a carefree life for more than a decade and the Kyle family had also protected her well. They had never really let her be exposed to the ugly side of the world. All of a sudden, her most respected grandfather became the bad guy and her parents were killed by her beloved man's father. It didn't matter if she was just an innocent little girl, anyone else who was in her shoes might not be as strong as her. Mia looked at Master Perth and took two big steps forward. She said, "Although you've accompanied me for half of the day, it doesn't mean I'll let you take advantage of me." Master Perth shrugged helplessly. "Miss, as a gentleman, I just want to protect you. I've never thought of taking advantage of you. Besides, if I'd really wanted to take advantage of you, I would have done that way earlier,
That Hart - his subordinates were all not scared of death. They were ruthless when fighting and they even didn't let go of such a small child-like little Karen. She was just a little child, but they tied her up, threw her into an iron barrel, and rolled the barrel over... When that happened, little Karen had almost died. Lionel, who had always been calm and indifferent, had a distressed look upon his face when thinking of this. Lionel had wounds all over his body, his left arm was cast in plaster and his leg was injured. It was not convenient for him to move at all, but his injuries did not suppress his vengeful aura. He rushed to Little Karen's bedside. When his eyes fell on the little girl, he immediately became Little Karen's Brother Lionel, he looked at her so lovingly. Lionel reached out his right hand, tenderly pinched her pink face, and said softly, "Little Karen don't be afraid. Brother Lionel will protect you and chase away those bad guys. I will
Lionel knew what little Karen was thinking in her head, so he added, "You can go to sleep later at night. When you open your eyes the next morning, your mom and dad will appear by your side." "Alright then! I will get up quickly, eat quickly, and sleep quickly so that I can see mom and dad sooner." Little Karen was smart and lively, but she was just a child. She childishly thought that as long as she did things fast, time would also pass faster. "What a silly child." After saying so, Lionel saw little Karen big eyes tearing up, and he regretted what he said immediately. She was just a child, there was nothing that she could do. She just looked at him with her innocent eyes, which made him feel very guilty. Why did she have to suffer so much? ... In the hospital, at the Military Region of Chatterton Town. The doctor had given a timeline of 24 hours. If Kevin Kyle could not wake up in 24 hours, then it was very likely that he would never wake up
How could Neil Brown not understand Karen Daly's words? However, given the current situation, if he had gone to see Mia Kyle, he would probably only make her feel more heartbroken. As for him, all he needed was to know that Mia Kyle was fine. He said to Karen, "Don't worry about me. The most important thing now is to ensure Matthew can wake up. I can delay all other things." Although he said so, as Neil Brown drove away from the hospital, his destination was still the Grey apartments where Mia Kyle lived. The weather was still very hot and the air seemed to be hazy. It took Neil Brown more than an hour to arrive at the Grey apartments. When he arrived, the scarlet sports car he saw yesterday was parked outside the apartment. That Master Perth was sitting in the car, twirling a cigarette in his hand, smoking. He exuded arrogance. Neil spun his car around quickly. It swerved gracefully on the road and screeched to a sudden halt. Neil had stopped his ca
"Anyway, my Third Young Master is also the son of the president. It's not difficult for him to forge an identity. Yet it would be difficult for others to find out about him." Master Perth laughed half-heartedly. "If you didn't create trouble in Chatterton Town, I can turn a blind eye. But if you cause any trouble, I don't care who you are at that time." After saying that, Neil Brown left in his car. He didn't want to expose his thoughts to Master Perth. Master Perth watched as Neil's car left and only looked away after a long time. His lips turned upwards and he smiled confidently and evilly. Mia Kyle, oh no, her real name should be Mia Silas. They were engaged and the engagement was arranged by the parents of both parties. He would never hand Mia over to someone else. Master Perth looked up. From his position, he could see the window of Mia's room. Neil's detour from the front entrance to this place, proved that he had been guarding Mia downstairs c
Mama Kyle was so angry that she didn't want to speak to Papa Kyle throughout the hour's drive from the airport to the military hospital of Chatterton Town. As the mother, she was the only one kept in the dark from such a huge issue in the family. How could she not be angry? Papa Kyle held on to Mama Kyle and said helplessly, "Rana, don't be angry. We are going to meet our daughter-in-law soon. If you are still angry, she will think that you are angry with her." "I am obviously angry with you. When did I get angry with my daughter-in-law? Nonsense." Mama Kyle punched him and said, "Karen is such a good child, she gave us the lovely little Karen. I can't love her enough, how could I be angry with her?" Papa Kyle shook his head and said, "I'm just saying..." Mama Kyle interrupted Papa Kyle and said, "Don't even try." Papa Kyle said softly, "Fine, fine, fine... As long as you are not angry, as long as you are in good health, you can say whatever you want
...... 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
