When she saw who was beside the bed, she stopped getting up and pretended to be dead. Anne was in a deep sleep and did not notice anything unusual. The moonlight shining on her face made her look peaceful and soft, without a trace of her rebelliousness during the day. Anthony stood by the bed, looking down at her with his black eyes, which were deeper than the night. The tight lines on his face showed his displeasure. She looked cute when she had amnesia instead of always disobeying him as she did now. Anne woke up, rolled over, and asked, "What time is it?" The nurse walked over and said, "Mrs. Marwood, you're awake. It's only seven o'clock." As soon as Anne heard the time, she knew that her eyes were still bad, and she could not help feeling disappointed. "Help me get my white cane," Anne said as she stood up. The nurse helped her get her cane, and Anne walked forward, using the white cane to guide her. The nurse stood beside her in case she bumped into something. If sh
"You are Mrs. Marwood now. You can live in the apartment if you want," Anthony reminded her without hesitation. The apartment where Julie lived... If that was the case, Anne might as well stay in the Royal Mansion. She could not resist Anthony when she was healthy, let alone now that she was disabled. Anne did not say anything else, and she was picked up by Anthony and taken to the Royal Mansion. Anne sat in the car, facing the window, unable to see anything, but she looked no different from a normal person. "How did you fall into the river?" Anthony asked. Anne paused when she heard Anthony's question and thought back. "It seems like... I misstepped." "Are you sure?" Anne was not sure, but she could not think of anything else besides that, so she said, "Yes, I'm sure." After answering, she fell silent. She felt like that memory was missing. Could it be that she was so scared when she fell that she could not remember, and then her brain injury afterward made her forget?
Just because Anne was able to leave the hospital did not mean her body was completely healed. She still needed to take care of herself. After sitting in the hall for a while, Anthony carried her back to her room. Anne leaned against the headboard and touched the pillow next to her, knowing that this was the master bedroom. This was the room where she and Anthony shared a bed during her amnesia. "You can put the white cane on the side. I sometimes want to get up and walk around," Anne said. "Alright," Anthony said. The triplets ran into the room, surrounding Mama on the bed. Anthony simply gave them a menacing reminder, "It's okay to get on the bed, but don't step on Mama." "We know that!" Charlie furiously exclaimed, believing the reminder was unnecessary as he already knew it! "Mama, can I sing a song for you?" Chloe asked, sweetly leaning on Mama's hand. "Sis sings very well!" Charlie said, clearly impressed. "Yeah!" Chris agreed. Chloe stood next to Mama, cutely
"Forget it, don't look for it," Anne said, trying to change the subject. However, Mia persisted. "Ma'am, there is something that I don't know if I should tell you. I heard it from the other maids. I was very angry at the time and told them off..." "What is it?" Anne asked, her curiosity piqued. "They said... that the marriage certificate between Mrs. Marwood and Mr. Marwood is fake and that Mr. Marwood used it to deceive you. How could the marriage certificate be fake?" Mia said in a puzzled tone. She looked at Anne, her expression deep in thought. Anne's mind suddenly became clear. That was why Anthony would get the marriage certificate with her. His hatred for her and her mother was deep-rooted, and he married her in the blink of an eye. It turned out that the marriage certificate was fake, only this made sense…Anne's expression sank. Her whole body exuded weakness and sorrow. Except for the sourness in her heart and mouth that almost drowned her, the rest was anger.
After taking a shower, Anne was carried into bed and lay down comfortably. He did not move away from her after they had finished. After kissing her on the lips, he said in an abnormal voice, "I'm going to take a shower, and I'll be right back." Anthony went to the bathroom. Anne lay still on the bed, listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She wanted to fall asleep quickly so she did not have to feel the discomfort of sharing Anthony's bed. However, the more anxious she became, the more awake she became. She was wide awake when Anthony came back from the shower. The part of the bed beside her sank slightly, and his warm body approached. His domineering hand took hers. Anne put her hands on his chest, feeling the firmness and hotness of his chest muscles. "Anthony, don't do this." Anne resisted. Anthony saw that her reaction was extremely firm, and he did not force her. After letting go, Anne turned her back on him. "Anthony, when my eyesight returns, I
Anne's face moved slightly as she heard the television, her heart sinking. "How do you know?" she asked. "I just heard as Mr. Marwood went to the study," Mia replied. Anne said nothing, continuing to face the direction of the television, her expression unreadable. "Ma'am, I think it was probably just a phone call. Mr. Marwood cares most about you," Mia said. "I don't care. Leave," Anne said, her response surprising Mia. However, she supposed that her indifference was just a facade and that she must be feeling hurt inside. No woman could accept her husband having a mistress, especially when that mistress was Mr. Marwood's former fiance. Anne, standing at the doorway to the bedroom, heard the faint footsteps and turned her face away from the television, looking toward the balcony. The daylight outside seemed so bright, but it had nothing to do with her... Was her life destined to be shrouded in darkness? Anne did not want to admit that it bothered her, and she was unabl
Mia placed the white cane in Anne's hand. Anne used her mind to remember the bathroom location and leaned forward with her white cane. She smoothly made her way into the bathroom. Mia stood next to the beauty collagen drink, thinking that if she had known this, there would have been no hurry to administer the poison when she went upstairs. Now there was only her and Anne. Even if she gave her the drug in front of her, she would not be able to see it. She would take note of that next time. "Ma'am, how are you feeling? The beauty collagen drink is getting cold," Mia said. Anne opened the bathroom door, her cane leading the way, and walked out. She also held a bath towel in her hand. Mia said, "Ma'am, you're holding a bath towel. Do you need a normal towel?" "No, I know it's a bath towel," Anne replied. Mia did not know what Anne wanted the bath towel for, so she did not take it seriously. After Anne sat down, Mia picked up the beauty collagen drink and asked, "Ma'
"Did you drink the beauty collagen drink?" "I did," Anne lied smoothly. "Did you answer the phone yourself?" Anthony queried. "Yes. I'm fine, you go do your stuff." Anne concurred. If Anthony was free, he would just appear before her instantly instead of calling her. "Don't disconnect the phone." Anthony was commanding. "...Is there anything else you want?" Anne inquired. "No." "Just to let you know, I've already eaten." Anne hung up the phone promptly. Anthony was in the lavatory adjacent to the conference room at the moment. There was a one-way mirror in the center, and only the people in the lounge could view the scene in the conference room. The mirror did not work the other way around, and the soundproofing was effective with the door shut. When the senior executives observed Mr. Marwood, who had returned to his seat, his expression was not very pleasing, which caused them a lot of pressure. Anne had just placed her phone down when the triplets arrived. "
At first, Corentin was stunned. Then, he said, "Who have I killed? Ash, you've misunderstood. I've changed now. It's true. Hurry up and come down. The ravioli is getting cold.""Don't come over! I'll jump if you get any closer!" Ashlynn shouted hysterically."Alright, alright. I won't go over!" Corentin did not dare to take another step further. "Ash, I'm telling the truth. I didn't kill anybody. Come down, and I'll explain to you. It's all a misunderstanding.""Actually, I've felt it was strange since the beginning. It's just that Anne's reassurance dispelled my suspicion about you." Tears filled Ashlynn's eyes, but they did not stream down her face. She looked at Corentin and said, "But I know everything now. I don't have evidence, but you are Salvatore Yeager. At first, I thought you would change for the sake of the child. In the end… In the end, you didn't even spare the child's grandparents. Salvatore, are you even human? Why would a monster like you exist?""Ash, come down, a
After Ashlynn was discharged from the hospital, she called Anne when she was alone in the room."Anne, are you alright? I heard you were taken by Tommy and were later saved by Anthony.""Mmhmm. I'm fine. I've gotten home safely.""That's wonderful," said Ashlynn.Anne could tell that Ashlynn was not feeling alright, so she asked, "What's the matter? Are you not in a good mood?""I've found out about my parent's passing," said Ashlynn.Anne was stunned. She found out? "I'm sorry, Ashlynn. I've kept it hidden from you.""It's fine. I know you're being considerate to me and the child." Ashlynn took a pause before asking again, "Was Tommy killed by you guys?""No. He fled the cruise ship back then. When we found him, he was already killed by somebody. His body was pulled up from the sea.""Corentin was there as well, wasn't he?""That's right. Did he tell you that?"Ashlynn's eyes looked emotionless. "Have you guys ever suspected Corentin?"Anne immediately got so nervous tha
Corentin hugged Ashlynn. "I heard that Tommy's dead, so your parents' murders have been avenged. Now, they can only rest in peace. Calm down."Ashlynn collapsed in his arms as she cried. Then, she started to feel waves of throbbing pain in her belly, and her face turned pale.Corentin noticed something was not right with her, so he hurriedly roared at the driver, "Go to the hospital now!""Hurry up!" Jeremy urged. He held Ashlynn's hand and realized that it was freezing. "Ashlynn, you have to be alright. You still have me! Hang in there, Ashlynn!"Ashlynn looked at him with tears in her eyes. She was extremely saddened. She could not understand why things would end up like that. Did she not deserve to have parents?When Ashlynn woke up, she was already at the hospital.She subconsciously touched her belly, but Corentin grabbed her hand. "You're showing signs of miscarriage, so you need to recuperate."Ashlynn scanned around the room and asked, "Where's Jeremy?""He's outside. H
"I know…" Jeremy looked up and saw Ashlynn standing at the entrance. He was so shocked, and he immediately stood up. "Why…are you here?"Ashlynn stood there dazed. She looked at Jeremy, then the person who spoke earlier. "What do you guys mean when you talk about my parents' soul resting in peace?""Nothing. We were talking about someone else."Ashlynn could tell from their faces that they were clearly panicking. She was not deaf. She heard what they said clearly.Her face turned pale, and she immediately searched for her phone. She did not have it on her, so she rushed to the car."Ashlynn!" Jeremy ran after her and stopped her. "What are you doing?""I'm going to call Mom and Dad.""They are traveling. Don't disturb them."Ashlynn looked at him. "Jeremy, tell me honestly, why aren't Mom and Dad coming home? Don't lie! I have always felt it was strange. Why haven't they come home when I'm already so far along? Something is wrong, isn't it? Did something…really happen to them?"
Corentin came forward and asked, "Anne, are you alright?"Anne nodded."You don't look too well. What happened?""Tommy's dead," said Anthony."Have you found the cure?" asked Corentin.Anne shook her head."Unfortunately, the infected people would have to endure it a little longer."Anne suddenly thought of something, and she immediately pushed Anthony away. "Don't touch me."Only then, Corentin noticed a small patch of ulcer below Anne's cheek. "Anne, did Tommy drug you?"Anthony frowned. "I don't mind.""I do. Both of us would not be able to have contact with the children, and they will worry." Anne rejected his touch.Anthony had been touching her the whole time. It was unclear if he had been infected. Anne was very worried."It wouldn't make a difference now. If anything, I would have already been infected just now," said Anthony.Anne still refused to listen. "That's not necessary. Just don't touch me. We still don't know where the cure is, and Tommy died so suddenly
Just as Tommy finished his sentence, he heard a commotion behind him.Ivan was fighting with the assassin, and every strike he delivered was fatal. If Ivan were not skilled in combat, the professional assassin could have killed him in just a few moves.Tommy realized something was up, so he immediately wanted to grab Anne.While Anne retreated, she was pulled into a person's arms."Let me go!" She thought it was a man she did not know, so she hated to be touched like that."Anne."Anne was stunned. She looked up and felt happy to see a familiar face. "Anthony?""It's me."Tommy was infuriated as he watched the two of them looking lovingly at each other, Tommy became infuriated."As expected, Anne, you did leave a trace for Anthony." Tommy's expression darkened."You're the one who took me too lightly," said Anne.It was because she had always wanted to run away from Anthony in the past that he had the wrong impression, was it not? "So what? You want to kill me? With just t
Anne was drugged at that moment, and there were surveillance cameras all over the cruise ship. She saw a surveillance camera over her head when she was returning to the room. Therefore, it was impossible for her to sneak around in the middle of the night if she wanted to.Tommy had long been guarding against her.However, Anne still left Anthony some clues before she left him. She believed Anthony would find her very soon, but she never expected that he would do it so quickly.At daybreak, she seemed to have heard the rumbling of a helicopter above her. Then, the door swung open. Before Anne could make sense of the situation, she was picked up. "How did you get the message out?" Tommy said. He even searched Anne's body after that."Ah! Are you crazy? I don't have a phone!""Don't think Anthony can take you away just because he's here. If I'm going to hell, I'm dragging you along with me! Let's go!""You…" Anne had no strength, so she was dragged out of the room by him.He thre
Anne ignored him.If she were not afraid that Tommy would pull some tricks behind her back, she would have slept with her back facing him."Do you remember running to my home and sleeping on my bed when Anthony bullied you as a child?"I don't.""I know you do. I truly wanted to help you back then," said Tommy.Anne knew he was speaking the truth, so she did not refute him. She stared at the ceiling and said, "I think the past Tommy died a long time ago."Tommy's expression was mixed, and he asked, "Are we not able to go back anymore?""Instead of asking me this now, you should've gone to hell after you killed the people I cared about. No matter how unhappy your childhood was, you can't hurt others for your own pleasure." At that moment, Anne did not pity Tommy at all."Look at you on your high horse. Has Anthony not killed anybody before? Has Corentin not killed anybody before? Why did you forgive them for killing people but not me? Just because the victims were your friends?
Seeing that she did not move at all, Tommy said, "It won't be good for you if you don't eat."Anne thought that he made sense. If she did not eat, she would go hungry and would have no strength later. How could she fight with Tommy then? It was because she refused to eat and only drank water while hiding in her room that Tommy drugged her.After a while, she seemed to have figured it out.She picked up the fork and started eating the fish.Tommy saw her eating and asked, "How was it?""Could it be that you're the one who made it?" Anne looked up and shot a glance at him lazily."That's correct. I am the one who made it."Anne thought, 'Is this something worthy to be praised?'"It must be tough for you to do such a thing on top of everything else.""If you're worried that it's tough for me, why don't you make it with me?""I don't know how to cook.""How great. You just have to enjoy being served." Tommy clicked his tongue, but he was looking at Anne with a doting gaze.Anne
