She almost bumped into Nigel when she arrived at the office. "Why are you looking upset? What happened?" Dorothy asked. "The car that brought Anne away was found. I will go have a look." Nigel turned away. Dorothy was shocked. It was found?She regained herself and immediately followed. "I will go with you!"When they arrived at the lake, Tommy and Lucas were still there and explained the situation to Nigel. "The car was retrieved. It was verified as the one that brought Anne away. The car doors were open when it came up, but there was no one inside," Lucas's face was sunken, and his voice was hoarse. "Plus, the rescue team said, this was not the place where the incident first happened. It happened upstream. We have seen it just now, would you want to check it out?"Nigel looked into the distance nervously. The rescue team was still in action. The lake's current was strong. Why would Anne be in the lake?Nigel followed Lucas upstream.Dorothy stayed behind. She heard t
"Fine, you are ungrateful about me telling the news." "Go and tell everyone that your daughter died, please!" Before getting a response from Dorothy, Sarah hung up. Sarah could not believe that. She was panicking, her hands did not know what to do, and she could not think.Has something really happened to Anne?However, Nigel said that Anne was busy with the month-end financial closing! She could not contact Anne, could it be because…Sarah called Nigel. Nigel was checking out the geographical situation upstream when his phone buzzed.He took out the phone and saw that it was Sarah. His hand shook. Subconsciously, he did not want to answer the call, but he could not. He walked to the side and answered, "Woke up?" His tone was not abnormal. "Tell me frankly, did something happen to Anne?" Sarah asked desperately. "Who told you this nonsense?""Why is her phone not connected? She is so busy that she has no time to give me a phone call? Plus, your wife deliberately
Anne was afraid of his unpredictable temperament and was worried that he would see through her plans, so she said, "If it were not for you, I would not have fallen down from the bed. It is fine if you did not like what I said, but you threw me out. That was violent."Anthony's face looked displeased. Anne then said, "Can you give me some painkillers? It's unbearable…""Bear it.""Is this something to be borne? My back is burning." Anne could not breathe evenly. She saw Anthony's cold face keeping quiet and pondered what she should do. "Are you really not going to send me away? There's no one that can enter this place. Who would take care of me? You?""I am on leave these two days."Anne was taken aback. Did he really plan to take care of me?Could she reject it?Anthony coldly locked his gaze onto Anne's face. "Why? Any objection?""No." Anne did not dare to admit it. Anthony placed his laptop down, stood up, and walked out.Anne noticed that Anthony was limping slightly.
Anne was stunned.So, Anthony was not limping because he was numb, but it was because he was injured?Was it because of her?Anne tried to recall the scene. She fell onto the floor. Anthony came down from the bed to carry her up, and he was indeed standing next to her. The floor was covered with glass pieces. It was likely for him to step on them…However, would Anthony really care for her?"If you cannot fight him, might as well follow suit." Kathryn hinted. Anne bit her lips. How would she not have known about this?However, it was difficult to do it. She was already feeling bad enough to be the 'mistress'.Plus, Anthony's unpredictable temperament made it hard for her to serve him.After Kathryn left, Anne lay on the bed listening to the noises outside. It sounded like Anthony was talking to someone. Was he talking to Kathryn?She could not make out what they said…Was it Bianca?She guessed it right. It was Bianca. "They only found the car and did not find the
It hurt so much that beads of sweat started to form on Anne's forehead. Soon, she felt cold from her back. After the cold, the pain on her back was relieved. Then, it was a second wound. Anne woke up from her sleep, and Anthony was no longer sleeping next to her. The wounds on her back were gently touched by something that felt like a cotton bud. She could faintly smell the medicine in the air.She did not need to turn around to know who the person was helping her with the medicine. She did not expect Anthony to be waking up in the middle of his sleep to apply the anesthesia for her. "Did I wake you up? I did not want to move around. It was too uncomfortable." Anne's face pressed into the pillow, making it deformed. Her lips pouted. Anthony's face was still expressionless. "Good that you are aware of it."After that, he tossed the cotton bud into the trash can and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Anne listened as the water splashed in the tap and wondered, coul
"Really, it is natural to feel like peeing after having milk." Anne's eyes constricted in fear, and she said it with caution. "Anne, don't overstep your boundaries." Even if Anthony was lying down, he was still scarily intimidating. Anne pursed her lips and acted innocent. "If I don't go, I will pee on the bed. What will happen if I pee in the bed? This is your bed.""Then pee." Anthony was expressionless. Anne's face was frozen for a while. Was this something that humans would say?Even if he permitted her, she could not bring herself to do it. Did he really think she was like her three little bunnies?Chloe peed in her bed before. She was crying about it, making Anne feel amused but loving at the same time. Anne fell silent when she thought about her three little bunnies. She had not seen them in a few days. Back then, when they were apart in different countries, she could still video call them. Now, they were completely uncontacted. What would the three kids think
She was starting to miss the kids, and her eyes could not help but water.She could only hold it in. "How did you know that she went missing? Maybe she went to work." Anthony bluffed."Impossible! We have not seen her for a few days! We have always seen her before, but not now. Isn't she missing?" Chris said."Your inference is flawed," Anthony said. "Then, where did the girl go? Could she be hidden by you?" Chloe asked.Anne did not dare to breathe too heavily, but at the same time, feeling impressed by the kids' intelligence. They got it correct!"Who taught you this?" Anthony had always been sharp. "We guessed it ourselves. Is it not you hiding her away?" Chloe said, then she started sobbing.Anthony did not reply to the question. "It's still early. Go back to sleep.""No!" Charlie threw a tantrum. Anthony frowned. Were they throwing a tantrum at me? Nevertheless, he did not hang up. "You have to help us to find…" Before Charlie could finish, Anthony's phone was
Anne frowned. She did not comprehend what he said.As if she could have it if she wanted it?His big and strong palm grabbed her tiny waist, and his voice was deep. "Just cooperate more, we do it more, soon you will be able to have a kid."Anne shivered. "You want me to have a kid?"Did this mean there was a possibility for Anthony to want her kids?"If you really have it, just keep it. I will just need to raise one more child. What's the fuss?"Such a dominant statement to make. Anne bit her lips and did not say a word more. She thought it would not be just one more child but three more children."If you really want it, work harder." Anthony's voice was like a demon trying to lure her in.Anne did not reply. She only felt panicky. He was already scary enough under normal circumstances. If they 'work harder', would she be able to pull through it alive?Plus, why could she conceive his child again?The first time already almost cost her life! "I am tired…" Anne took
