"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
He was fascinated and thoughts of occupying her even germinated in him. However, his rainbow was about to be snatched away by someone else. It was natural for him to want to snatch it back, right?Lucas had no idea whether Anne was in trouble or was hidden away by Anthony. Lucas did not stay at home for long. He went out to get the kids after showering. Anne was not around, and he was a little concerned when the kids were left home alone. The three kids were naturally happy to stay with their Daddy Lucas.He brought them back to his condo and let the nanny continue looking after them. Lucas entered the room when the triplets were already in bed. As soon as he sat down next to the bed, the triplets asked, "Daddy, is Mama outstation?""That uncle said so.""He said that he did not hide mama away."Lucas asked, "Anthony?""Yes, him! He hung up on me!" Charlie said, full of grudges.Lucas had his doubts and decided to try them, "What else did he say? Do you think he hi
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
