He looked like he had just killed someone. His Rolls Loyce followed behind, keeping a close distance, but no one dared to catch up and talk to him. After walking for an unknown amount of time, tears rolled down Anthony's eyes because his heart hurt so badly. It seemed that a hand was tearing open his chest, and he could even smell his own blood. How could Anne die? They had been entangled for so many years. How could she die? Tommy's words filled his head, turning into a sharp weapon, cutting open his heart, which was unbearable. His tears kept falling down. Anthony only cried once when he was born and once when his mother died. As he grew up, no matter how much psychological suffering he endured or how difficult the obstacles in his business were, he would never cry. Now, standing by the side of the busy street, he could not stop crying. The sadness in his heart was inflating like a balloon, about to blow him up. In his blurred vision, someone passed by him, and th
What if she went to see the baby and Anthony discovered her? Would she become a person without any rights again? "What are you afraid of? You are not the same person now. If you want to break free from your restraints, you just need to do your best. And I will always be with you." Yuri gently held her hand. Anne looked up at Yuri's caring eyes and felt warmth in her heart. Since she became trapped in Tianya's organization, Yuri had been with her and secretly helped her. Otherwise, she would have died during the days of training on the deserted island. "Okay. But I'm fine, I can go back alone," Anne said as she held her hand. "Alone?" Yuri disagreed. Anne said, "You have your own things to deal with. Don't worry, it's okay. Like you said, I'm not the same as before." "Call me if you need anything, and I'll be right by your side." Anne was getting ready to return home, so she had to prepare some things, including disguises, fake passports, and the like. In the killer
Fingers squeezed the trigger, and there was a bang. Anne shook and fell into deep darkness. When she woke up, she was in a hotel suite. Anne sat on the bed, unable to remember how she escaped. She heard gunshots and lost consciousness. The fact that she was still alive proved that the gunshots came from elsewhere. Someone saved her... Someone entered the room, causing her whole body to tense up and go on guard. When she saw the man who came in, Anne was shocked. Tommy looked at her intently and said, "Don't you know me?" "Brother..." Anne's eyes fell, and she saw Tommy's hanging arm, the gauze wrapped around it still stained with blood. "I saw several men attacking a woman. I didn't expect it to be you. Your helicopter crashed into the sea, and I thought you had..." Tommy did not finish his sentence and stepped forward and hugged Anne tightly. "Watch your hands..." "What the hell happened? Where did you go?" Tommy asked. Anne's expression changed, and she ge
Anne knew that when she left, the school was not yet officially in operation. Over time, a lot has changed. Even Anthony had another woman by his side. "No, I'll just go there by myself," Anne said. "I am worried about you. If those people show up again, you will be hurt," Tommy said, concerned. "It will be safe in the country, just go back," Anne insisted. Tommy did not say anything more. Although the situation turned out differently than expected, it was not too disappointing. "Call me if you need anything. After all, I saved your life. Your life belongs to me, sort of," Tommy said. Anne agreed and nodded. Tommy stroked her head and smiled, an eerie tenderness in his eyes. Three days later, Anne bought a plane ticket and boarded the plane. Anne's mood was indescribably turbulent. She turned on her phone and looked at the photos of the triplets in the photo album. This scene was so familiar. She had also looked at the triplets' photos on her phone when she
The triplets were now in the big class and would not start first grade until next year. They were currently playing with other children in the park. Anne watched from a distance and noticed that they had grown up a lot in the past two years. They were not as chubby as before, and the older ones looked handsome and cold. Tears welled up in her eyes as she watched them play, and she almost ran up to hug them tightly. However, she hesitated, wondering if they would still want her after being away for so long. As they stood in the crowd, the triplets suddenly had a feeling. Chloe turned and looked in this direction, her beautiful big eyes filled with confusion. Anne came back to her senses, lowered her head, and covered her face with her mask, concealing herself in the corner.Curious, the triplets walked over there, but the teacher noticed and stopped them. "Where are you going?" the teacher asked. "There's someone there," Chloe said, pointing her finger. The teacher follo
Oliver's job is to keep watch for any suspicious people that appear around the triplets. That was why he came to Anthony as soon as he saw something unusual. In fact, he had watched the video several times, but the person's body was covered up, and their face could not be seen. Besides, he did not think that the person could be Anne since the chances of surviving a fall into the sea were almost zero. "It's her..." Anthony's hand holding the tablet was trembling, and his eyes were red with tears. "Mr. Marwood, are you sure...it's really her?" Oliver asked cautiously. He really could not understand how Anthony could be so certain. Could it be just an illusion? However, he dared not say that out loud. "It must be her! I said she didn't die, and she didn't die..." Anthony's voice was extremely hoarse, and the joy in his heart was almost overwhelming. After visiting the triplets, Anne did not go to the mansions or communities where she used to live. She did not even go t
Anne walked into the cemetery. There was not even a little dust on the tombstone, which showed that the staff here were very attentive. They respect all those who have passed away. Anne placed the flowers in front of the tombstone and knelt down. "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you for so long. Something happened and ruined my plans. Don't be angry, I'll come and see you as soon as I return to Luton," Anne said as she placed the flowers. In the cemetery in the morning, the air was fresh because of the surrounding trees, and a slight wind blew, shaking the strands of hair next to her cheeks. With her heightened vigilance, she froze slightly. The air was filled with a slight sense of unease as if someone was invading her personal space. This feeling was so familiar... it was engraved in her bones. Anne stood up slowly, and the scene of turning around seemed to be in slow motion. Her heartbeat was irregular. It had a different rhythm when facing dang
Anne's expression hesitated, and she was clearly shaken. She had come back just to look after the child, so naturally, she could not be satisfied by just looking at them from a distance. If Anthony could find her here, it meant that he had figured out her whereabouts. Anne had always been careful, and there was only one place where she could be found, which was at the school. Presumably, the bodyguards deployed were not only at the cemetery but also at her apartment and the mansion in the community. Any place where she might go back to would be ambushed. Anthony being here meant that this was the place where she would most likely appear after he collected her information. Anthony approached her and took her hand so close that he could feel her breathing. It was a gesture of wanting to possess her. Before Anne could react, she was held in Anthony's arms again. He was feeling the ecstasy of regaining what was lost. "Don't move, let me hug you more." Anthony's voice wa
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
