"Here, take this."

Lydia thought for a moment and handed the ointment to Lambert. His eyes flickered as he reached out and grabbed her fingers.

Her fingers felt hot, like they were burning with fire. Lydia felt a sudden panic. "What are you doing?"

"You're concerned about me, aren't you?" Lambert's eyes were bright, sparkling like the stars in the night sky. The excitement and anticipation in his eyes made Lydia feel inexplicably flustered.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I just think you look awful with that face. I don't want to attract attention, and besides, I caused it. I can't just leave it like this."

Lambert's expression quickly darkened, looking disheartened. Holding the ointment, he fixed his intense gaze on Lydia's face. "I can't see it myself. Can you help me apply it?"

Lydia's face turned red with a mix of irritation and embarrassment, but she softened and didn't refuse his request. Lambert moved closer, and although there was still

    "Don't talk to me right now!" Andrew's tone was calm, but there was a hint of underlying anger. "I'm afraid I won't be able to control my temper!"Lydia lowered her head in guilt. "I'm sorry, Andrew. I’ve caused you trouble today.""There's no need to apologize between us, Lydia. I'm not upset because you troubled me; I'm upset because you don't know how to protect yourself!" Andrew sighed. "Lydia, you and Lambert are no longer together, but are you trying to maintain some lingering connection with him?""I’m not..."Lydia tried to defend herself, but even she didn’t believe her own words, let alone Andrew. Although she knew he was looking out for her, Lydia just couldn’t let go of Lambert. Maybe for the rest of her life, she would never escape the fate that was Lambert.Andrew could only sigh to himself when faced with Lydia like this. But regardless, at least for now, she was still by his side.The large villa was c

    "Are you ashamed and angry now, Father? Unfortunately, your rage pales in comparison to the fury I feel inside! I hate you all. If it weren't for you, none of this would have turned out so horribly!"Lambert, still slumped on the ground, looked up with eyes full of hatred, making Odgen's heart skip a beat. Yet, his anger flared up again. How could Lambert so openly express such hatred towards them just for a woman? Anyone would think he'd been bewitched by her.Lydia! That damn woman! Even after their engagement, she still haunts us!After venting his emotions, Lambert felt a sharp pain in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. Just as he was about to speak again, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and then everything went black as he lost consciousness.The last thing Lambert saw before passing out was the look of anger and fear on Odgen's face, which gave him a twisted sense of satisfaction.When Lambert woke up again, it was no surprise th

    As Verna spoke, she gently opened the thermos, carefully poured a little soup into a spoon, and brought it to Lambert’s mouth with a natural smile, saying, “Lambert, open your mouth, ah…”“Dad! What are you doing?”A clear, youthful voice interrupted Verna’s actions. Turning around, she saw a small child standing by the door, with features that were an exact replica of the man lying in the hospital bed. Even though she had never met him before, Verna instantly guessed the child’s identity and flashed a sweet smile.“You must be Wythe, right? You’re as adorable as I imagined!”Verna praised him sincerely, and Lambert took the opportunity to gently push away the spoon she was offering. The tension in his furrowed brow eased slightly with Wythe’s arrival.“Wythe, how did you get here?”Wythe's big eyes scrutinized Verna from head to toe. Although she didn’t have the overwhelming scent of perfume like the other women he had seen, he still couldn’t warm up to her.Especially since Verna's

    Lambert was amused by Wythe's comparison. "Alright, I get it. Be careful on your way back, and if anything comes up, call me right away.""I know, Dad!"Wythe responded obediently and turned to leave. Just as he was about to step out, he quickly turned back, planting a big kiss on Lambert's cheek. "Dad, I love you!""I love you too, Wythe!"On the second-floor balcony of the Halsey mansion, Ogden stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, frowning as he read through the freshly printed documents. A tall bodyguard stood not far behind him."So, Lydia and her fiancé are also staying at the same hospital as Lambert? And Wythe has already visited Lambert's room?""Yes, it's because of Madam Chen's health. She's there for treatment, and their rooms aren't too far apart."Ogden's expression darkened. What was that woman Lydia planning? Flirting with another man while still trying to cling to Lambert through their son? She was despicable!"Go to the hospital as soon as possible and

    Lydia's words pierced Lambert's heart like a sharp dagger, causing his eyes to redden and his tone to grow colder. "Satisfied? Of course, I'm satisfied, but given how biased your answer is..."Before Lydia could react, Lambert had already pressed her against the wall, his thin lips with a hint of tobacco taste forcefully covering hers. Lydia's eyes widened in disbelief at the man before her. His deep eyes held no affection, only a wild, frantic heat, like a beast driven by pure instinct to possess and plunder.This passionate kiss was not as sweet as one might imagine. The bitter taste of tobacco made Lydia feel nauseous. Her arms were pinned against the wall, and her emotions shifted from pain to anger.Just as Lambert was about to deepen the kiss, he felt a sharp pain on his tongue. The metallic taste of blood spread in his mouth, and the madness in his eyes intensified. Lambert felt like he was losing his mind. The thought of the woman he once loved being intimate with another man

    In the days that followed, Lambert became unusually cooperative with his treatment. It was as if he had completely come to terms with everything, regaining his usual cold demeanor, though now with an added sharpness.During his hospital stay, Verna came by every day to bring him food, to the point where even Horace knew that Lambert had a new admirer, who seemed to be a rather nice girl."Lambert, you really are lucky. Girls just keep flocking to you, one after another. Not like me—I'm rich and handsome too, but no one seems to like me!" Horace joked, clearly in a good mood seeing Lambert’s recovery.Lambert gave him a sideways glance. "I’ll make sure to pass that on to your dad."Horace immediately panicked. "No, please don’t! My parents are already nagging me about getting married. If it weren’t for my busy work schedule, my mom would never let me off the hook."Lambert responded with a cold smile, remaining silent. Horace, however, continued his teasing, "But seriously, Lambert, ha

    In an elegantly styled café on the second floor of a sophisticated establishment in Nova City, a man and a woman sat in a private room, with two tall bodyguards standing by the door.The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, heavily made-up with a strong scent of cosmetics. Her flaming red lips were pressed into a thin line, showing her impatience. She wore revealing clothing that emphasized her cleavage, and her nails, painted a bold red, tapped the table twice."Are you done yet? You've been looking at that for ages!"Opposite her, a man dressed in a black coat was seriously scrutinizing various documents, trying to reconcile the photos in the files with the flamboyant woman sitting before him. This man was none other than Lambert's father, Odgen, and the files in his hands contained basic information about the woman in front of him.Reportedly, this woman was still a university student, but due to her extravagant spending and vanity, she had unwittingly fallen into debt.

    Lambert was discharged from the hospital, and on the day he left, he ran into Lydia and Andrew once again. This time, Verna was clinging to his arm, chattering away with him in an intimate manner, like a couple.Andrew and Lydia, on the other hand, seemed to have just brought food to the hospital. The four of them met at the entrance, and a tense silence settled between them.It was Verna who broke the ice first, smiling at Lydia. “Lydia, what a coincidence! We meet again.”Her smile was bright and sweet, full of youthful energy, making her seem cheerful and approachable.Lydia nodded slightly, with no intention of continuing the conversation. Andrew, however, glared at Lambert, his gaze icy. The atmosphere grew tense, like the calm before a storm.“Lambert, if you have any decency left, you’ll stop harassing Lydia. You should know how despicable your behavior has been. I won’t bring up what happened before, but I don’t want there to be a next time!” Andrew was the first to speak, bre

    Once Lydia calmed down, she realized Lambert had already come in. Given Wythe's presence, it was obviously unrealistic to ask him to leave.Seizing the moment, Wythe turned to Lydia and said, "Mom, can I stay with you tonight?"Lydia nodded without hesitation. "Of course you can! Where else would you stay?"As she spoke, she shot a glance at Lambert, her eyes clearly indicating that she wanted him to leave as soon as possible. He was just too much to deal with.Unfortunately, Lambert didn't take the hint and instead asked, "Lydia, you only have a small bed here. Wythe won't fit; I think he should stay at my place."Although it was just next door, Lambert's place was vastly different—a spacious two-hundred-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms and two living areas, while Lydia's was only about ninety. As soon as he moved in, Lambert had redecorated one of the rooms specifically for Lydia.Before Lydia could respond, Wythe looked at

    No matter how upset Lydia felt, Lambert followed her like a shadow. However, he managed to avoid any more foolish actions after their earlier confrontation, even going so far as to apologize.He was humble, hoping to cheer her up, but she remained as cold as ice, leaving him in despair."Dad, I've arrived at Y City Airport! Come pick me up!"When Lambert received Wythe's call, he felt like a savior had arrived. Ever since their argument over Lydia's job, she hadn't spoken to him at all. Initially, she wouldn't let him in, and now she didn't even open the door. If she saw it was him through the peephole, she would resolutely stay inside!With that attitude, even Lambert's best efforts were useless.Wythe's arrival was the perfect catalyst to break the deadlock. Delighted, Lambert headed straight to the airport after dropping off Lydia's meal, as usual.Meanwhile, Lydia was fuming at the sight of meals consistently hanging on her door. She cou

    Lambert presented himself as refined, but his underlying dominance was unmistakable. "That's not the case, Principal. I'm just worried about Lydia's health. She's pregnant, and she's caring for a class full of four- and five-year-olds. If something were to happen, it could be very dangerous for her."The principal furrowed her brow, eyeing him curiously. His concern seemed more like that of a family member than a parent. "While your point is valid, we've already considered this. Surely, you wouldn't expect her to be dismissed? After all, maternity leave is an option now...""Maternity leave is limited," Lambert replied firmly. "Besides, you must know that Lydia can't stay here forever."The principal felt uneasy. Lambert's demeanor and attire suggested he was no ordinary individual; why would he want his family working in such a small place? Something felt off."On what grounds are you so sure?" she asked.Lambert responded with unwavering confiden

    Meanwhile, Lydia was feeling quite emotional in her room. The impact of seeing Lambert, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, was overwhelming. He had lost quite a bit of weight, and from his words, it seemed he had been eager to find her ever since he left.It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched; he truly cared about her. She had always held onto him in her heart and never let go. However, the idea of going back because of this was unlikely; after all, she was a stubborn person, and once she made a decision, it wasn't easy to change her mind.Lydia hoped that Lambert would take the hint and leave soon so her life could return to normal. Otherwise, her heart would be in turmoil!As Lambert, whom Lydia hoped would leave, was knocking on the door next door, an elderly man in his sixties opened it, eyeing Lambert suspiciously.Lambert straightened his clothes and spoke with a gentle tone, "Hello, I'm Lambert. The thing is..."Lydia, completely obl

    Using their son as a shield might seem a bit embarrassing, but it was undeniably effective. Sure enough, upon hearing Wythe's name, Lydia paused her resistance to Lambert. She struggled to move her legs and began to make her way toward her home.What should have been a short ten-minute walk turned into a half-hour ordeal due to Lydia's difficulty in moving. During this time, she even awkwardly made a trip to the restroom. As she entered the later stages of her pregnancy, not only had her legs swollen, but her trips to the bathroom had also increased significantly. Just moments ago, she had finished a latte, which made the situation even more awkward—suddenly needing to find a restroom while walking.Lambert, while unaware of the many inconveniences pregnancy could bring, couldn't help but feel like a negligent husband and father as he watched Lydia struggle. He realized he knew nothing about what she was going through. Seeing her in such discomfort made his heart

    Lambert closed his eyes, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He had truly found Lydia!"Sorry, Lydia, I think I got a bit carried away!"Could this be a dream? If it is, he hoped he'd never wake up.Lydia was at a loss for words. This wasn't just being a bit excited; he was clearly overwhelmed!She decided to change the subject. "Lambert, how's Wythe doing?" Her son was the person she cared about most, and the one she felt she owed the most to."He's fine, but he really misses you. I didn't expect that after all this time, you wouldn't even call once."Hearing this, Lydia lowered her head, guilt washing over her. In some ways, she knew she hadn't been a very good mother. She had neglected her son for her own feelings."I'm sorry..."Lambert sighed softly, a mix of emotions swirling within him. "You don't need to apologize, Lydia. It's all my fault. If I hadn't misunderstood you, you wouldn't have felt the need to leave Nov

    Debby felt a sudden jolt, her ears turning bright red. Being caught doing something wrong and exposed in public was a uniquely uncomfortable experience."Uh, I..."Lambert's heart raced. Could it be that he finally found the right place? Was Lydia really at this kindergarten?Fearing he might startle her, he spoke gently, his tone patient. "Debby, there's been a misunderstanding between Lydia and me. I care about her deeply, and I can't lose her. I don't know how you've interpreted our situation, but as her friend, I assume you want her to be happy too?"Debby hesitated at his words. Was this man truly a scoundrel? Upon reflection, Lydia had only mentioned that she had divorced her partner and left Nova City due to some circumstances. She had never spoken ill of her ex-husband, so perhaps she had misjudged him?Debby's expression shifted, yet she still seemed unsure. Lambert seized the moment to ask, "Debby, Lydia hasn't left, has she?""How

    Lydia could hardly believe her ears, but Debby wouldn't lie to her. So, Lambert had really come looking for her.Her emotions were a whirlwind. It had been nearly five months since she left. During this time, she had come to Y City alone, found a job at a kindergarten, and gradually found some peace.Being away from the chaos allowed Lydia to reflect on herself, and she realized that the situation with Lambert wasn't entirely his fault. While he sometimes acted presumptuously, his intentions were good—he always acted out of concern for himself. Each argument only chipped away at their relationship.No bond can withstand constant fighting.Lost in thought, Lydia absentmindedly traced her fingers over her phone screen. Should she reach out to Lambert? According to Debby, he was probably headed to Rong City.She lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes casting shadows over her troubled eyes. When she first heard that Lambert was looking for her, her

    As Lambert stepped out of the apartment, a lost look lingered in his eyes. For the past few months, he had been caught in a cycle of hope and disappointment almost every single day.He should have been used to it by now, but each time he felt let down, hurt, and increasingly restless. The longer the search went on, the more he worried about whether he would ever find Lydia."Hey, don't be too downcast. Finding someone is like this; as long as you persevere, you will eventually locate them!"Lambert nodded at her comforting words, knowing well that now wasn't the time to give up."Lambert, since you haven't found her yet, what's your next move?"He frowned slightly. "I think I'll stay here for a while. According to the information my friend gave me, there might be another Lydia in City Y."She sighed. "You really have it tough. How long do you think it will take to find her? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!""It's okay;
