Did…Anthony touch her phone? If he did, would he also look at her call records? She usually deleted her call logs, but she had too many things on her mind to do that today. Anthony was expressionless as he asked, "Let me guess. Lucas or the nanny?" Anne's heart tightened. Sure enough, he knew... He was correct though. She really wanted to call Lucas because she was worried about the children. She wondered if they were found. Should she tell Anthony? She had mentioned the children before she fainted and wanted Anthony to help her find them. Compared with the loss of the children, she would rather have this secret known by Anthony. What if the children were found already? There would be no need to tell Anthony then. Anne froze in front of him as his black shadow towered over her. Then, Anthony pinched her jaw, and he violently turned her to face him. Anthony's black eyes seemed to penetrate her. "Why aren't you speaking?" "I...I was trying to call him." "Why
"What did you say to Bianca? Or did she say something that irritated you?" Anthony asked. "She used the incident with my father to irritate me... Actually, it didn't really matter. I didn't stand firm and fell to the ground, which caused my wounds to split open again! Your fiance didn't have anything nice to say. You can't blame me for not listening... Whatever the case, Bianca is your rightful soul mate, I am just a third person in your relationship..." Anne felt powerless. After speaking, she laughed at herself. Anthony felt attacked. "That's all you have to say?" "Yes." "What do you mean by looking for your children?" Anne's pupils trembled slightly. "That's a bad habit of mine..." Anthony understood what she meant. She was talking about her child, who was kicked to death in her stomach. Anne turned her face and looked at Anthony weakly. "...Did my mother come to visit? Where's she? I'm a little hungry. Did she bring something for me to eat?" She did not feel
Anne looked at Nigel. "Dad, did you come here with mom?" Sarah got angry when she heard this. "If it weren't for that devil Anthony, I'd have come to visit you at noon... my goodness, why is the lunch I brought in the trash can?" She picked up the food in the trash can. Sarah was furious! "Who did this to the food? What a psycho!" Anne knew that Anthony had done it. "Don't be angry. Anne can't eat those in her current condition anyway." Nigel tried to appease her. Sarah held back her temper and asked Anne, "Anne, tell your mother honestly, why are you so seriously hurt?" Anne glanced at her father and said, "I fell." "You fell?" "There." Anne pointed to the table. "It was an accident." "What were the nurses doing? They get paid so much, and yet they are unable to take care of a normal patient like you?" Sarah was angry, feeling as if her payments had gone down the drain. "Fire her and hire a new nurse." "Mom, it's none of her business. I asked her to go out and
"I will find the kids as soon as possible."After hanging up, Anne placed the phone back into her bag and lay down weakly. Her eyes were filled with tears. Her heart was wrenched.She could not be discharged now in this condition. Even if she managed to be, how would she go and look for her kids?Lucas had a much bigger network than she had. Plus, did Lucas mean he knew who brought the kids away?Once she has her goals set, she must be able to find the kids quickly! Moona, on the other hand, called Bianca and told her that Lucas might have already guessed it was her. She asked her to think of a strategy quickly. Turned out Bianca asked her to bring the three kids out of Luton immediately. Once out of Luton, it would be much harder for them to search! However, the kids were missing. How would they be able to bring them away?Moona saw Lucas leave and immediately headed to Luke's rented place. As soon as she entered the door, she asked, "Where are the kids?"Befor
"Fine, I would not involve you, then you better not involve me either. After all, no one saw you hiding the kids," Bianca said. "However… My son confessed to the principal that he was related to the missing kids." "Is your son an id*ot?" Bianca was absolutely despising him and stomped around the studio angrily. "Since he wanted to admit it, let him go to jail then!""Ms. Faye, I cannot! I only have one son. He cannot go to jail! Please, think of some ways.""Fine, as long as you don't expose me, I will not let you and your son go to jail.""Really? Thank you!""However, you must find the kids, then send them far, far away!""If I cannot?"Bianca felt that it was so difficult to speak to this dumbo. "You have to find them no matter what! Even if you cannot!""Yes… I will find them!"Bianca was so annoyed that she sat heavily in her chair. The kids ran away. Where would they go?Anne said her kids were intelligent. They indeed were! They escaped! Was it so hard for the
"The Pianist does not look like someone who has had a baby before! If it were her, she would have already been peacocking around the office! I guess it is some girl outside!"Things are not as simple as that too!"I agree!"The lift door opened, and Oliver came in with a stern face that was never before so serious. Anthony glanced at him and said, "What's up?""Mr. Marwood… there are… kids in the office."Anthony frowned, and his face fell. "Who allowed them in again? Do you not know the mess they made the last time?"Oliver faced him courageously. "Mr. Marwood, it's better for you to take a look for yourself! I… I think I cannot judge for myself anymore."It was Anthony's first time seeing Oliver stuttering like this. It was just the triplets. What else was there for him to judge?"What mess did they make this time?" Anthony turned and walked to the office. He thought, 'Would they have made it messier than last time?'They really need some serious education! Anthony ent
Charlie and Chris went over. They were like little penguins and were barely reaching their father's knees. Anthony squatted down, and carried the two of them up, having three babies in his arms all at once, easy peasy. This feeling felt as though he was carrying three fluffy pets in his arms. Anthony could not believe that they were his own kids. He calculated the time, and they were less than three years old. However, all this while, he had never known about them…"Do you know who I am?" Anthony asked. "I do! You are Papa!" Chloe said. "We have known about you for so long! It's only you who don't know about us." Charlie was adorably angry. "Papa is not too smart," Chris said. Anthony's facial expression was a little unpleasant. "I will have a separate conversation with your mother."Sarah kept Anne company in the hospital, and Anne did not want her to leave because she wanted to use her phone."Mom, have dinner with me tonight, please?" Anne said. "Sure. Anythin
Anthony's gaze was as though he had wanted to pierce it right through her. This woman had been around him for so long, but she hid the kids all this while! He was pretty impressed by how she managed to put up such a good show, fawn at him, and please him. How dare she do it! Anne did not know what was on Anthony's mind when he looked at her intensely. It only made her feel even more anxious and nervous. Just when the atmosphere almost climaxed, she finally heard Anthony's monotonous deep voice.'Why are you standing here?""I… I had spent too much time in bed. It was a little boring. I wanted to go take a walk…" Anne looked down. She did not manage to zip the bag, and a corner of the phone could be seen.However, she felt that Anthony would not touch her mother's belongings. "I had walked a bit, and don't need any more walks for now." Anne then sat by the bed and snuggled herself in. She noticed Anthony was edging toward her and had her guard up. Especially when this
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
