After hanging up the phone, Eliana sat in her bed, still in a trance. She was confident Max would solve this matter for her, but she was afraid that Alice had seen the tweet. Once again, Eliana thought of the scene in which Alice shouted at her angrily.As if her phone was a hot potato, Eliana, threw it at Charlotte. Then she covered her head with covers, trying to cover all the trouble awaiting her by doing so.Then in a trembling voice, Eliana said, “Charlotte, please keep an eye on my phone for me. Don’t answer anyone calls but my brother’s! If my mother keeps calling me, tell her, I’m not here.”“You want to keep hiding it from her. That is not a good idea, in my opinion.”“It doesn’t matter. I’m not in the mood to talk about it right now.” Eliana then crawled back under the covers, ready to sleep, as it was the only way she could get away from reality.Eliana had just closed her eyes when her phone began to vibrate. She sat up and asked nervously, “Who is calling?”“You are Dad.
“You know that’s not true, honey.” Zayden stood up and approached Alice. He took her hand in his hand and said, “They will always need you, and they will always love you. You can’t say that in front of the kids anymore, otherwise they will be sad.”“That’s right! Even if I’m 30, I’ll still stick with you, Mom!” Eliana said.Alice had not cried in front of her in a long time, which made Eliana nervous. Eliana remembered that Alice had never cried, even when the two of them lived alone.Max, who was next to Zayden thought with a frown. ‘Mom, to be honest, I quite understand your feelings. On the other hand, the hospital has been pressuring you to return to Flesoil to help the patient there and you indeed want to help save the people there. On the other hand, however, you can’t bear to leave us because you’re worried about us and you want to stay with us longer. Mom, I know you always feel that you owe us too much, especially Eliana and me. But to be frank, I don’t blame you for it, beca
Two days later, Alice and Zayden went to Flesoil together. Alice went to the medical team station while Zayden established a medical company there, specializing in producing hospital supplies such as masks and productive suits. Zayden did this because he genuinely wanted to help Alice’s career.The International Airport in Flesoil was small and run-down, and the road outside was not even paved with concrete. As Alice and Zayden stepped out of the airport, they noticed a broken Jeep car approaching them. The car appeared to be on its last legs, and it was a miracle it was still running. It then stopped in front of Alice after a slide drift.The back of the car generated a massive cloud of dust. When the dust vanished, Alice and Zayden finally realized who was sitting in the driver's seat: Patrick. And Patrick was smiling brightly at Alice.After getting out of the car, Patrick approached them. He yanked Alice's backpack from her shoulder and slung it over his arm back. “Dr Collins, wel
When Zayden left the dorm, it was already one o’clock in the morning. With a mask on his face and a flashlight in his hand, he walked towards the hospital. A few minutes later, he arrived at the doctor’s office.Because the hospital was built in an emergency following the outbreak, it was small and simple. It was a single-story house divided into three ward areas for, mild, moderate, and severe patients. The doctor’s office was directly across the wards.At that moment, the hospital was deafeningly quiet. Some wards had lights on and some patients occasionally moaned in pain. Zayden was upset when he realized that Alice needed to work there every day from now on. For a moment, he wanted to ask Alice to go back to England with him, but on second thought he perished the thought.‘Alice is a doctor, and it’s her job to save people’s lives. Also, it has always been her dream to help those in need. I don’t want to stop her from realizing her dream. And I need to stay her by side when she n
“No! Why would I? Do you have any idea of how exhausting it could be to run a large group like Dream High Group? I would rather spend more time with you and take care of you everyday.” Gently rubbing Alice's hair Zayden said lovingly, “’ll go get your breakfast. You should go brush your teeth now.”“Okay, Zayden. Feel free to talk to me if you need anything.” Smiling happily, Alice kisses Zayden before walking towards the restroom.Because the dormitory was so small, Zayden could only cook in the hallway. Even though there was only a stove and some simple cooking utensils, Zayden didn’t complain about it for once, and he managed to make a delicious meal for Alice under such a condition. Also, when he pictured Alice smiling happily while eating the meal, he cooked, Zayden could not help beaming with joy.Instead of cooking their meals, the medical team all ate at the cafeteria. Since the cooks of the cafeteria were all local, their eating habits differed greatly from those in the Briti
After Alice finished her meal, Zayden began packing the lunch box. “Are you going to work late tonight?” He asked.“Yes, I am sorry, but I probably don’t have time for you lately,” Alice said, smiling at Zayden.“It’s okay. After all, you are not here to have a honeymoon with me.” Zayden explained. He sounded upset, though.“I apologize. I will be there for you every day after we return to England.”“Can we go on a trip to St. Tropez?”“Sure.” Alice said with a smile.“Great! It’s a deal!”“Deal.”“I’m off, honey. I’ll be back tonight to bring you dinner.” Zayden said as he walked away with the lunch box. Then Alice changed into her white coat and went to the check patients.At night, Zayden prepared a delicious dinner for Alice, including seafood, salad, and fried eggs. and lamb chops. When he arrived at her office, however, no one was there. He had a bad feeling all of a sudden. Zayden trusted his instincts because he felt the same way when the children were kidnapped. He assumed it
Alice nearly fell on her knees and then stood up straight with all her strength. Seeing that Zayden was in more pain. He wanted to rush to Alice and help her out of the situation at that moment, but he had to wait for the right time. Therefore, he stood in the crowd, silent.“I’m just a doctor. I’m not that capable enough to defeat mercenaries.” Alice said, through gritted teeth.Hearing that Victoria kicked her once more. “Are you trying to fool me? I’m sure you know some special forces! Isn’t Adrian Taylor is your brother-in-law.”Alice let out a painful groan. She took a deep breath and said, “I had no idea you know it. But sadly, none of them in Flesoil.”“That’s fine. I can wait! They will agree to my request, as long as you are my hostage.”Zayden’s gun was in his pocket, but he didn’t have the guts to touch it.At that time, Victoria’s gun remain pressed against Alice’s temple, making him nervous. His hands were sweating, and he was even more nervous than he had when he saved E
“Do you really want to know about it?” Dominic asked after some thought.“Yes!” Eliana said.“I might tell you after we get to know each other better. But, you know, we are not even friends now,” He said.“Well, I’m not interested in that anymore.” Eliana said. She became impatient, so she stopped talking to Dominic.“Are you angry?” Dominic asked.“No.”“I know you won’t get angry that easily.”“That’s because I know getting angry easily is bad for my health. It’s nothing to do with you.”Hearing Eliana’s words, Dominic burst out laughing. He knew Eliana loved sashimi, so he gave her that plate. “Well, we are friends now,” he said.At that time, Charlotte was talking to Kevin and Max was talking to Jason. On the other hand, Max kept a close eye on Dominic and paid attention to his every move.Dominic quickly realized this, so he turned to look at Max. The two boys then locked their gaze on each other. Max appeared weary and hostile whereas Dominic didn’t seem to be bothered by Max’s
“Mom, don’t come over!” Eliana and Max yelled at the same time.“Alice, you are such a lucky bitch. You have such two wonderful children. I have worked hard my entire life, but now I have nothing in the end,” Jessica said in an envious tone.‘Did you just mention children? Could be that you suddenly wanted to meet Gary before you die because he’s your only family?’ At the thought, Alice gently asked “Jessica, do you want to meet Gary?”Instead of answering Alice's question, Jessica remained silent. She then bowed her head and began trembling.“I will call him right now. He just left, so he will come back soon,” Alice added.“Is Gary really coming back?”“Yeah. He’s doing great this year. He has always get high grades on his test and he is popular school. He is just as smart as you are.” Alice praised Jessica in the hopes of changing her mind.“He didn’t want to see me. I tried to talk to him this year, but his maid always mistook me for a beggar and told me get lost.” Jessica spoke in
A woman in a janitor’s uniform rushed out of the tool room as Eliana and Charlotte left the restroom. The woman then pressed a fruit knife against Eliana’s neck. Eliana had no idea what was going on because it happened so quickly. She could not stop shaking when she felt the cold metal against her skin.Charlotte was so scared that she screamed. Then she immediately covered her mouth. After hearing her voice many people made their way to the restroom. However, no one dared to approach them, they all stood back and watched.Eliana grabbed the woman’s arm from behind as she wanted to wrestle her to the ground. She thanked Alice were forcing her to take so many taekwondo classes at this moment.However, the woman realized what Eliana was trying to do. She whispered in a husky voice, “Don’t do anything. I will slit your throat if you move one more time. By then your blood will flow like a water flower and you will die tragically.”The woman’s voice was so husky that it made Eliana feel li
Dominic saw Eliana the moment she walked into the room. He looked at her as if he could not take his eyes off her. Eliana shone like a star that was even more dazzling than the bright chandelier. Whenever he looked at her, his heart beat faster, and his palms sweat.Ever since Eliana entered the hall, Dominic had been looking at her. He watched her as she walked around the venue and to greet the guests and he was disappointed when he noticed that many young boys were looking at her as much as he was.Later on, the host asked Eliana and Max to come on the stage. They sang the birthday song together and then catch the multi-tiered cake. Zayden then announced that the party was started.It was not until then that Eliana was free. When she saw him after she left the stage, Eliana moved quickly towards Dominic. Every step she took seemed to step into his heart, causing it to beat like a drum.Dominic had been waiting for Eliana to become an adult for the past two years, but she had no idea
After dinner, Eliana comes back to her apartment. She took a quick shower before going to bed. As she lay down in bed, she checked her phone and found tons of unread messages in the Team Wolf Chat Group. Eliana was supposed to join her teammates in celebrating their victory after the game, but she didn’t because her parents showed up unexpectedly.Eliana’s teammates not only posted pictures from dinner in the chat room, but they also mentioned for several times. Eliana was about to go to bed after replying to everyone's message, but the moment she discovered Dominic had also texted her, she perished her thoughts.Dominic had become extremely busy since he retired from the e-sports circle two years ago and returned to London to take over his family’s business. Recently, instead of having time to play games with her, he could only teach her practical strategies occasionally.Dominic returned to Rose City this time just to watch their game. However, Dominic and Eliana didn’t even have ti
After the game was over, the lights in the hall lit up and the host invited two teams onto the stage after congratulating the winners.Max and his parents took a seat in the first row. People around them began to whisper in surprise, and they only stopped when Team Wolf showed up on the stage.The stage was well-lit, but the auditorium was dark, so Eliana had no idea her parents, whom she had not seen in a long time, had arrived on the scene.Standing on this stage, Eliana smiled while waving at the audience. She sparkled like a diamond and nothing seemed to be able to dim her light.Meanwhile, Alice looked at Eliana as if she was her biggest fire. She felt proud of Eliana from the bottom of her heart.Initially, Alice was furious when she learned that Eliana wanted to become an e-sports player. However, she began to regret it after Eliana became a world champion. ‘If I stopped her back, then I would have stopped her from succeeding. Thank goodness I didn’t do so. Alice thought to her
Two years later, an important match took place in a hall in the center of Rose City. Eliana’s team, the Wolfs would play against a team from another country.Teen Wolf had previously won the world championship twice while their opponent was a dark horse team that had only recently formed. As a result, game lovers from both countries eagerly anticipated this match.At the same time, this was the most crucial match for Eliana since she joined Team Wolf two years ago. She would be a member of the world championship team if she won the game. However, she would lose her best chance to win the World Championship if she lost it. Therefore, Eliana took this match very seriously.Because the Dream High Group was one of the match sponsors, the live room was packed with people Eliana knew. Although ticker prizes had risen to several thousand dollars per person, Max could still obtain tickets for his family.At that moment, Trevor, Maggie, and their children sat in the center of the front row. Da
Henry was very efficient. Two days later, he managed to place the information he had gathered about Dominic on Max’s desk.Then Max started reading it carefully.Dominic Deleon was Dominic's full name. He was born and grew up in London, and he was twenty years old. His great-grandfather was a politician who once held a high govt position. His grandfather was a successful businessman who owned a large corporation. As for his father, he was a businessman who made the company well.Dominic was the family’s only child, but he was uninterested in business. He fell in love with e-sports in college and soon signed up with an E-sports company. Later, he made it to one of the best teams in the country and was named captain due to his outstanding performance. He once led his team to a world championship victory.Before moving to Rose City Dominic attended a university in London. However after he fell out with his parents, he transferred to a college in Rose City because several of his teammates
