Listening to her gentle voice describing the night sky... Kevin Kyle looked at her tenderly. He could not see her clearly, but he could feel her expression from every word she said. Because every movement and smile of hers had been deeply engraved into his heart and mind, forever. Kevin Kyle put his arm around her shoulder and asked softly, "Karen, if my eyes are always going to be like this, will you..." "If the role was reversed, would you abandon me?" Before Kevin could finish his words, Karen interrupted him. Both of them had experienced many ups and downs together. If those could not stop them from being with each other, what else could possibly stop them? At the same time, she swore to find the antidote that could eliminate the HDR virus as soon as possible. Now that Warren Silas was dead, his assistant Hart was also murdered, there was only Amelia Gray left. Amelia was the one that poisoned Kevin Kyle. Could she possibly get some i
It was the night in the late August. There were strong winds, which was a sign of an impending storm, or even typhoon. The weather forecast said that Chatterton Town would be hit by a typhoon soon. This will affect the entire city. Karen Daly had planned to look for Amelia Gray at the military region of Chatterton Town tomorrow, but she had to delay it due to the typhoon. The weather report also announced that everyone should avoid going out in the storm in the meantime. All schools had been ordered to close temporarily, and also for most companies. Chatterton Town would be hit by typhoons several times a year. Karen Daly had lived here for several years and has been used to it. However, when she heard the strong howling sounds from the strong winds today, she still felt anxious and panicky. Little Karen insisted that Brother Lionel play building blocks with her. They were in her room having fun with Momo too. Kevin Kyle was still busy wi
The temperature in the room was increasing like an oven. Mia Kyle was trapped inside and could not move at all. Who was the one who kidnapped her? She did not offend many people in her life. Even if she did, it wouldn't be that bad until someone wants her dead. And this kidnapper wanted her life. It was alright if she had to give up her money, but she only had one life. She can't afford to lose it. She hadn't found love yet, hadn't been able to repay her parents, and had a long bucket list to accomplish. She cannot die now. No, she must find a way to save herself. "Hey, let's talk about it. Violence can't solve the problem. How much do you want? I'll give you all of my savings." "Hey, speak up. If I suffer to death you won't even get a penny." "I haven't seen you yet. I'll give you the money and you can let me go. I won't be able to tell who you are so I can't find you anyway, it's a win-win situation. What do you think?" "Think abo
Thinking of the pair of crystal shoes, Karen Daly went back to the room where the gifts were stacked and found the box of crystal shoes. She then looked carefully at the greeting card in the box. — Precious Little Karen, may you be happy forever! As her gut feeling guessed that Mia Kyle gave this gift, she didn't think too much about it. But now as she carefully analyzed the note, the handwriting looked like a man's writing. A gift from a man to Little Karen? Karen Daly thought deeply and thought of her brother, George, who was not in Chatterton Town. Did he secretly prepare a gift for Little Karen in advance? Karen Daly immediately called George Ken, but the signal was poor and the call only got through after several times. George Ken picked up the call, and Karen asked, "George, where are you now?" George answered, "I'm still working on something in Beaford City. What's wrong?" She asked, "Did you prepare any birthday present for
"Hehe..." The man sneered again, "What do you think I want to do to you?" As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in his hand moved again, and the tip of the sharp knife scratched through Mia Kyle's abdomen. Another bloody wound was formed on Mia's abdomen. The bright red blood dripped down her body onto the wet cement floor. Mia Kyle had always been adored by everyone since she was young. She had never been treated like this before. Anger, disappointment, confusion... All kinds of emotions were stirring in her heart. When the kidnappers were not paying attention, Mia gritted her teeth and rolled over. She used the chair that was tied to her body to hit the kidnappers. "Damn you, go to hell!" The kidnappers had never expected Mia Kyle to be so stubborn and strong. They had never expected her to continue resisting at this point. He had underestimated her and let his guard down, so when Mia Kyle attacked him, he was knocked to the ground. Her
"He almost took your life, and you wanted his life in return. Now that he's dead, you two should be even, right?" Mia Kyle gritted her teeth and endured the pain surging through her body. She continued, "Then why did you kidnap me?" "Why did I kidnap you?" The man laughed sullenly, and his laughter echoed in this closed room. "I kidnapped you, of course, to have my revenge." "You..." more and more of her blood was flowing out, and her body was getting weaker and weaker. Mia Kyle was about to lose the strength to deal with this maniac. But she still gritted her teeth and struggled to stay up... No matter what, she had to find a way to live. The world was dangerous, but it was also very beautiful. There were still many good people in the world. In such a wonderful world, she still had a lot of incomplete wishes, so she had to try her best to live. However, because of the high temperature of the room, Mia Kyle felt extremely dizzy and out of strength. It's al
While Neil Brown was looking for Mia Kyle outside, Kevin Kyle was listening to Nick Black's report. The mysterious caller had given them a new clue. When the person called Karen Daly, the signal was sent from somewhere near Secret Garden. If the person who called Karen Daly was related to the kidnappers, then this meant that the kidnapper made a phone call after kidnapping Mia Kyle. They kidnapped Mia Kyle and called Karen Daly, but did not ask Karen for ransom. Moreover, they were making phone calls near Secret Garden. What was their intention of doing so? They suspected that maybe part of the gang brought Mia Kyle away while some stayed behind near Secret Garden to check if anyone's noticed Mia Kyle's disappearance. Perhaps they had been near Secret Garden all this time and did not take Mia Kyle away, so Neil Brown could not find any clues of the kidnappers beyond Secret Garden. Thinking of this, Kevin Kyle suddenly stood up. The second speculation
Mia Kyle woke up again, but this time she was slightly unconscious. Her vision was blurred, so she couldn't see anything clearly. She could only hear the sound of water dripping. The dripping sound was rhythmic, echoing a clock's movement. Mia Kyle felt that her life seemed to be slipping away with the sound of the water drops like it was counting down to her death. She was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but she couldn't move. She couldn't open her eyes nor could she speak, so she just licked her lips. "What? Do you want to pretend to be dead? Do you think that I will let you go if you stay still?" The cold voice of the kidnapper could be heard again, but she had no strength left to argue with him. It didn't matter anymore. She gave up. She didn't want to hold on anymore, and had no strength left to fight. She could feel that the blood in her body was slowly flowing away, and her life was getting drained away as well. When she touched her b
...... 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
