When Sheldon saw the watch and the written message, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer.His tears suddenly spilled out of his eyes like water escaping a broken dam.Lyla once said she'd wanted to keep hovering around him like a hummingbird, and she did.She had always racked her brains and tried to help him in some way. She even told him she held no other motives besides wanting to cheer him up. She wanted him to know that he was also irreplaceable to someone else in this world.Yet now, that hummingbird was gone. There would never be anyone else who would hover around him, saying they wished they could cheer him up a little.Sheldon, too, had thought of doing something for her.However, Fate had taken away that chance before he could even start."Since it's her gift for you, you should keep it. Consider it… her last gift to you." As Henry spoke, he choked up slightly.That cousin of his had never really experienced happiness. Yet, her short life had ended in this c
Amy saw Sheldon just as she neared the viewing room.He seemed so helpless and at a loss.This mishap must've caught him off guard.Amy entered the room and said softly, "Sheldon, come and have some food first."It was only then that Sheldon noticed Amy's presence. He slowly turned toward her and shook his head. "I don't feel like eating now. Maybe later.""You haven't eaten anything since last night. How can you hold up like this?"You still have to watch over Lyla, no? You won't be able to take it if you keep this up." Amy tried persuading Sheldon, her eyes full of concern.Fate had been cruel to her son. Why couldn't it have allowed him to have more pleasant memories?"I really don't have an appetite… Or maybe you can just leave it here." Sheldon looked as though all life was sucked out of him.Amy was heartbroken, but she knew that he would probably prefer to be alone now.Therefore, she said nothing else. She simply left the food there and walked away for the time bein
Shirley shook her head in resignation. "You were forced to commit evil deeds because of Harry's ruthless ways, and that's why I can forgive you."The real lunatic here is Harry. He locked you up because he feared his crimes would come to light. To achieve his agenda, he'd even constrained his father."She continued, "I don't know how many more people he'll harm if this goes on. I can't do much, but the least I can do is save those he has driven into a corner."No one else should pay the price for his ambition."Evelyn remained silent as she studied Shirley. She seemed to be judging whether or not she could believe her.After a while, Evelyn said, "But aren't you afraid that he'll take revenge against you if you do this? He won't let you go if you go against him.""Even if I obeyed him, my freedom will still be restricted. I would rather break free of my confinements, even if there were a price to pay."Otherwise, Harry would think he'd be free to do as he pleases," Shirley said
Sheldon had taken that photo for Lyla himself.At that time, he had been working continuously for several days without allowing himself to rest. Upon seeing that, Lyla had dragged him out into the park, and they'd spent the entire day there.The snowscape on that day was beautiful, so Lyla had asked for his help to take several photos of her.But after forwarding the photos to her, Sheldon didn't tell her that he'd secretly kept them. And sometimes, he'd even take a look at them.There was once when he grinned like an idiot while gazing at her photos, and his assistant saw him.His assistant teased him and said that he looked exactly like someone who had fallen in love because his eyes lit up when he gazed at Lyla's photos.His assistant said that it was only when one was in love with another that there would be a light in their eyes.Sheldon thought it was probably true.However, he didn't get the chance to confess his feelings to Lyla.He thought of giving himself more tim
Besides, Leslie also considered that if Hugh was really drunk, he wouldn't listen to her even if she called him.With that in mind, she decided not to call him and go to Allure Bar to see for herself.After ending the call, Leslie told Natalie about it right away, saying, "I'll drop you off at your house before going to the bar."However, Natalie suggested, "Maybe I should go with you. Then it won't seem like you're meeting him alone, and no one can hold it against you."Leslie thought about it and decided that Natalie had a point. She nodded. "Alright, come with me then."With that, she quickly started the engine and drove toward Allure Bar.The bar was located in a street where many bars were clustered. It was the liveliest and biggest bar among them all.Leslie went straight to the bar counter when she entered and asked them where Hugh was.It was crowded inside. So, it was fairly difficult to spot a person quickly.After finding out where Hugh was, she ran over.However,
"It's been two months since we've gotten married, and you haven't been genuinely happy since. So, that made me reflect on myself. "How on earth am I inferior to Hugh?" Ivan smirked as his eyes slowly reddened.After saying that, he took out his wallet from his pocket and tossed every card he had at Leslie. "Here's everything I've earned over the years. "My assets, social status, and reputation should be on par with Hugh, no? And I can give you all of those! Be it properties, companies, or money, I can give you everything!"All I want is for you to look at me. Can you do that? Can you focus on me?" Ivan's eyes glinted with a terrifying obsession.Perhaps because he'd never gotten anything he'd desired since he was young, and now that he had the power, he was unusually adamant to getting whatever he wanted.However, his words had become a burden to Leslie."But that's not what you said in the first place. You said you wouldn't force me…" At that moment, Leslie felt like there wa
Jackson rolled his eyes and said in a carefree manner, "Sure, I'll lead her here. Get 500 thousand dollars ready."That amount was nothing to the Chase family, but it was an unreasonable demand from Jackson.Besides, Natalie sensed that he didn't care about Yvonne even though he was her son. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to exchange information about Yvonne's whereabouts for his personal gain.Deep down, Natalie scorned him. But it would be money well-spent if she could meet her mother.Eventually, she relented. "Okay. Now go and bring her to me.""Don't worry. I'll surely get it done." After Jackson said that, he whistled at Natalie before leaving, feeling satisfied.After Jackson left, Natalie waited at home and kept glancing at the wall clock.Finally, three hours later, she heard the sound of a car engine being turned off.She quickly rose to her feet and waited outside the house. As the car door opened, she heard people quarreling."I don't want to go down—"
However, life was unpredictable. Not everything would happen as one wished it would.Natalie's lips quivered, but she didn't respond. Everything Yvonne had said was shocking to her.How could that be the truth? To think Daniel would… would have wishfully thought of keeping Yvonne, who'd lost her memories, by his side through his own selfish means.No wonder he stopped Natalie from probing into the incident. So, it turned out there was a hidden reason behind it.Yvonne continued, "After I recovered my memories, I quarreled with him. He kept apologizing to me, but I was infuriated."Could his apology compensate for the loss of my entire youth? How could I have known that he'd keep me in the dark for so many years as though I was a fool?"That was why… I came up with a plan and led Daniel into the trap. He told me he knew it was a trap, but he took the bait anyway just to appease me."After saying this, a bitter smile appeared on Yvonne's lips. "Then what did you do after you l
