"I don't know if she's dead, but something must have happened. Mia said that Anne didn't go home or visit the Royal Mansion. She also added that when she saw Anthony return three days ago, there was blood on his hands!""Three days ago? What didn't she say something earlier?" "I bet she just wanted to find out more before telling us. But Anthony was very tight-lipped about it and didn't disclose anything. Even Fiona didn't know much," Dorothy said."Why was there blood on his hands? Was it Anne's?" Bianca guessed, "Something must've happened to her!""I thought so too," Dorothy agreed, "that's why I called you to tell you the good news. Maybe we'll hear the news about Anne's death two days later. You should take it easy and don't stress yourself. This is the best time to think about how to coax Anthony.""Of course, I'm aware of that."After the call ended, Bianca fell into deep thought.Blood…Anne's blood. Could it be that she had suffered a miscarriage? "Ms. Faye, someone a
It was just that she could not say Lilian told her the news.Bianca hid in the corner and watched Oliver enter the ward from a distance. Ten minutes later, he came out and left.The bodyguards guarded the door, and it was absolutely impossible to enter without authorization.However, Bianca believed that Anthony would not stop her. After all, would it not be better for her to stay by his side while Anne was being hospitalized?Bianca walked to the door and was about to cross the yellow line when the bodyguard stopped her. "You can't go in.""Don't you know me? I'm Bianca Faye. I'm here to visit Anne. Is Anthony in there too?" "Sorry, but no one can go in," said the bodyguard."Why? It's me, Bianca! Don't you recognize me? If you don't let me in and Anthony finds out, he'll be unhappy," Bianca threatened. Yet, the bodyguards were unbothered, and they did not speak nor let her touch the door. Anger gathered in Bianca's heart, but she could only hold it back."Fine. Just tell A
Anthony had made the ward his home, and he stayed there every day to handle company affairs.He would either only go to the company for important business or return to the Royal Mansion to visit the children.Anthony returned to the Royal Mansion at noon, wanting to have lunch with the triplets, but they were not three.Hayden said, "They went out to play."It was no surprise that those two-year-old children went out to play.Anthony's phone suddenly rang, and it was Ivan."Mr. Marwood, the children have come to Ms. Vallois' company. They're making a fuss because they want to find her...""Give me back my Mama! Otherwise, I'll get angry!" Charlie's babyish voice sounded domineering. Anthony hung up the call. It seemed that they could not be coaxed anymore.In the past, they would look for their mother themselves whenever they missed her. In fact, it would not take long as she would usually be in those few places.Now that they could not find Anne, they would surely throw a t
Kathryn was still there. She could not help but show a solemn expression when she saw Anthony coming in.Kathryn had told Anthony everything on the phone, informing him that Anne…had short-term amnesia and did not remember anything.When Anne saw Anthony, she kept avoiding eye contact with him.This was understandable, as Anthony's presence was too overpowering. "Do you know who I am?" Anthony approached Anne and asked. Anne felt this tall man was oppressive and seemed a bit dangerous.Then, she turned to look at Kathryn for help. It was apparent that she did not know who this man was.Kathryn said, "She doesn't even remember her own name. She had forgotten everything. I took her for a CT scan before you came, and her brain recovered well."Anthony sat on the edge of the bed, taking a closer look at Anne. Then, he raised her jaw and stared at her. "Do you really don't remember me, or are you still playing tricks on me? Huh?"Anne did not know what this man wanted to do an
"You only relatives left are the children and me.""My mom passed away too?""Yes."Anne blinked a few times and bit her lower lip, deep in her thoughts.Anthony was so moved by her appearance that he wanted to step forward and take a bite. However, he just clenched her little hand tightly to restrain himself."T-Then why did you marry me?" Anne was curious. Just as Anthony was about to answer, the ward door was pushed open with a loud bang. He could not help frowning when he saw the three little ones jumping in."Mama!""Mama!""Mama!" It had been a long time since they saw their Mama, so the three little ones were running over excitedly with their short legs."Mama, you're sick!""Papa kept it a secret. He didn't tell us. I'm angry!""Mama, did you hurt your head? Is it painful?" The triplets stood at the edge of the bed, holding the edge with their little hands. Their mouths opened and closed as if they were crying piteously for food. It was so cute that Anne was
When Kathryn heard this, she could not help but feel there was a hidden meaning behind his words. Was he not hoping for Anne to recover her memory?She came to this judgment after combining Anne's various emotional disorders before the car accident. After all, the amnesiac Anne obviously did not mind Anthony."Yes, this is an uncertain factor. There's a possibility that she'll recover her memory at any time, and it's also possible that it'll be long before she remembers anything," Kathryn said truthfully.Anthony was deep in his thoughts and did not answer her. Soon after, he got up and left.Before Anne was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, the three little ones and Anne had lunch in the ward. With their parents with them, they were much happier and ate more.Anne, who was sitting by the side, peeked at the triplet's chubby and adorable bellies."Mama, eat this!" Chloe took a piece of meat, wanting to feed Anne.Anne was a little embarrassed. However, she still ope
Anthony carried Anne into the car, whereas the three little ones followed behind them and got into the car with the help of the bodyguards.Soon, several cars drove away from the hospital. The nurse standing by the corner saw it and called Bianca."What? You saw Anne getting into the car? She's not dead?" Bianca was putting on a facial mask, and she was so angry that she tore off the mask. "Yes, she's fine. She was discharged from the hospital, and Mr. Marwood even carried her into the car," the nurse said.Bianca bribed the nurse because it was impossible for her to keep watch of the hospital every day to notice any movements. The news came like a bolt from the blue, and Bianca threw her phone furiously. "Why aren't you dead?! Why?! Why?!"Dorothy heard the commotion and ran over, asking, "What's wrong? Is the facial mask not good?" Bianca was fuming. "Anne was discharged from the hospital...she's fine now! She was safely discharged from the hospital and carried into the c
Anne wanted Anthony to leave, but he was her husband. Yet, if she let him stay, she would feel embarrassed.She felt embarrassed, as if she was about to undress in front of a stranger… Anthony noticed that she was afraid, so he walked over. "Don't take a shower. Take a bath instead, okay?"Anne nodded, staying quiet."Are you shy?" Anthony lowered his head and inched closer.Anne dodged. "A-Are we really married? I'm not really used to this…" "How do you explain the children?" Anthony stared at her bashful face.If it were not for fear of scaring her, he would not just talk and not do anything.Anne knew this truth, the children were the best proof.However, she still felt awkward. "Don't be nervous. You might not be used to it at first, but it'll be fine after a few more times." Anthony turned to fill the bathtub with water for her.Anne looked at his considerate behavior in disbelief as she thought someone like him would not do such things. When he stood in front of h
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
