Anna was deeply asleep. In the pitch-dark room, there were no windows and no lights. She was completely isolated from the outside world.She had a long dream.In her dream, she was in a dark, empty space.There was no one around and it was empty and foggy. She kept moving forward mechanically, trying to stop but she couldn't.Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead.She was overjoyed, and quickly walked over, but was stopped by a gorgeous, delicate-looking child.The little boy was so beautiful with his big watery eyes shining brightly. He stared straight at her with maturity and calmness that did not fit his age.She loved him so much, she wanted to squat down and touch his broken face.However, when her hand just touched his cheek, the little boy suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding wind surged, and the mist raged everywhere.When she finally opened her eyes, a tall man was standing in the place where the little boy was originally.She couldn't see his face clearly, but subconsc
The Dawson home.Grandma Dawson sat beside Anna with loving and gentle eyes.Ever since Anna saved the day at the wedding, Grandma’s love and admiration for Anna increased exponentially.“Anna, I heard you performed well during your assessment. Your parents are lucky to have such an outstanding daughter.”Anna tugged on her lips but didn’t say anything.Performed well?She caught Liam’s vague smile through the corners of her eyes. She wished she could kick him in the shins and ask him how Grandma Dawson found out about this.Bryan, who was sitting beside Liam, looked at Anna's fair and pretty face. A complex emotion welling in his eyes.He felt uncomfortable ever since Chloe told him about Liam and Anna.What Chloe didn’t know was that her actions would actually arouse his humiliation and competitiveness. His eyes traveled between Anna and Liam.To him, Anna had always been the dull and boring girl in the jeans and white shirt wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses with her hair cut i
Grandma Dawson tightened her grip on Anna’s hand and slowly said, “Anna, I’m getting old now. I’m not sure how many more years I have left. I don’t feel secure entrusting the whole family to Bryan.”“He’s too rash and conceited, I know it’s all because of his childhood, he’s not a bad person at heart. He’s a child born out of wedlock, and our family places honor above anything else. How could we let him and his mother join the family?”“He was bullied non-stop and suffered as a child.““Then his father passed away, and our family only had Amelia, the only daughter, so I took him home. By then he was already 10 years old, his mother had passed away from an illness, and he was sent to the orphanage…”“He looked like a street kid, filthy from head to toe! Sigh, by then his personality and character had already formed.”“I know, a part of him still hates our family, if we took him in earlier, maybe his mother would still be alive.”“Actually, he has an inferiority complex. He wants to fulf
Bryan pulled Anna into a guest room and closed the door.“Bryan, what are you doing? This is your home.”He grabbed her arm and pinned her to the wall, so she couldn’t move.“You got together with my uncle during Grandma’s birthday right here in my home, didn’t you?”“I spent a few days thinking about it and I finally remembered. That night Ryan Sanchez slept in your room but you weren’t there. In the end, the person who vouched for you was my uncle.”“Everyone thought my uncle was a righteous man, he wouldn’t lie, but looking at it now, he was just covering up for you and your dirty deeds!”Anna struggled against his hold, “Let go of me, let go of me now! If you don’t let me go right now, I’ll scream! Let Grandma know what you’re doing to me.”“Great, go on and shout! Call Grandma, and let her know about the dirty relationship between you and my uncle!”Anna was afraid. Her relationship with Liam was, after all, an ugly affair.Even though the public was rife with speculation, as lon
Nicole was out of ideas.“What else can I do? The child is gone because of you, what do you want me to do!”Chloe cried her eyes out, grabbing onto her mother’s hand, she looked helpless and desperate."Mom… Mom, you have to save me, you must save me, I lost my child, I can't lose Bryan anymore. I still want to be the young Mrs. Dawson, Mom…”“I just married into the Dawson family a few days ago, I can't be kicked out..."Nicole finally softened."Okay, okay, what's the use of crying? Tell me what happened, and I’ll help you figure out a solution."Chloe started crying again."Don't cry, just tell me quickly, are you trying to kill me with anxiety?" "I, I... I just drank some wine."Nicole raised a hand and was about to slap her again."You’re pregnant, and yet you drank alcohol?""The alcohol percentage was low, I was just slightly blitzed, I was fine! I was out of it, that’s why I made a mistake.”“Later... Later I saw Bruce Walker. I thought since he was limping anyway, I wanted to
Sylyvia suppressed the anger in her chest.She said to him patiently, “I didn’t say she isn’t nice, but the two of you belong to different worlds. You’re not right for each other.Maybe in the beginning you’ll feel it’s new and exciting, but as time goes on, you’ll face many problems.”“No I won’t, I like her, I’ll accept everything about her, she’s so cute and kind. I know we’ll be happy together.”“No! I won’t accept her into the family. Break it off with her now before it’s too late, don’t make me angry.”“I’ve decided, I will marry her. I want to be with her, I hope you and Father can give us your blessings. I have an operation to perform, I need to go now.”Michael pushed the door open and left his office.Sylvia slapped her palm against the table, then sighed heavily.“It’s all for your own good, you can’t be with her…”On his way to the surgical theatre, Michael sighed. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got and the more confused he became.His mother usually doted on
Anna did not find the middle-aged man in the ward.The nurse told her that the guy had left and not returned since.So, Anna just let him be.When she returned to Melissa’s ward, Nina was back.Nina’s happy face made Anna envious.Anna took the USB drive from Nina and was thinking of returning it to Ethan.Suddenly, a notification popped up on Anna’s wristband.There was a line that read, “Come to the main entrance.”It was Charles.But Charles was Liam.Every time they were apart, Liam would contact her using another identity.This made sense as Charles only showed up when Liam was not there. Knowing this made her heart flutter.At least Liam did not forget her every time after they slept together.He is Charles!He spent a lot of money just to buy favors for her.He did more than what she gave him credit for.It didn’t matter who he loved in the past. Why did she have to compete with his ex and feel sad about it?Anna felt relieved after thinking this through.She quickly bid farewel
“Thanks, Grandma.” Anna said.“I also put down your name as the beneficiary of the insurance policy.”Anna sighed. Grandma was being very considerate, but she was unsure whether the others would understand Grandma’s kindness.Nicole and Chloe exchanged glances again when they recovered from the shock.Their faces were awkward and pale, but they were relieved that Grandma did not hold them accountable for what they did previously.However, their eyes were full of jealousy and hatred when they saw the bracelet on Anna’s hand.They knew that the reason why grandma made this announcement publicly in front of them was to warn them: that she knew about all the things they did.She would not look into the case anymore, but at the same time, they should not try to steal the bracelet again. Nicole and Chloe met each other’s gaze.The feeling of losing something that was almost in your grasp was terrible.Now all they could do was stand aside and hide their jealousy.Grandma Dawson was satisfie
