Noah said, “Let’s not talk about anymore. Let’s hurry up and see if we can get to the next county before night falls.”“Noah, listen to me,” Jane, who was on Noah’s back, said gently, “Listen to me, Noah. Let’s hide in the mountains. The deeper the mountains, the better.”Noah immediately shook his head. “No, Jane, that won’t do. You are in need of nutrition now, so how can we hide in the mountains?”Jane laughed. “Previously in South City, didn’t we also live in the mountains? The air in the mountains is good, and there are wild fruits and wild chickens. During the day, you can wander around and hunt nearby. We can survive.”Noah was speechless. While walking and talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of Noah’s mother, who also agreed with Jane’s proposal. With that, the three of them hid in the mountains once again. However, the mountains in the north were different from the ones in the south. The climate was warmer in the south, so there were many wild fruit
Thinking of this, Jane suddenly smiled miserably.She felt that her fate was similar to Sabrina’s.Six years ago, Sabrina had escaped from South City. Jane heard from Sabrina that she rolled down from a hill and almost got herself killed back then. At that time, Sabrina was also pregnant. How hard that kind of feeling must have been.In the past, Jane had only felt that Sabrina was unyielding, and was neither humble nor arrogant.Now, after Jane had personally experienced this feeling and this kind of life, it made her feel that just being unyielding was not enough. She also needed to have an extremely strong mind to endure all sorts of hardships. Only then could she pave the way to survival for herself.Back then, Sabrina was escaping all the way because many people in South City wanted to kill her. Besides, Sebastian actually did not hunt her down. However, what about her own situation now?Jane could not wrap her head around it.When she came out of Alex’s summer house,
Jane snuggled up in Noah’s arms and said while crying, “Alright, Noah. How fated we are. Your name, Noah, means ‘to rest’, and my name, Jane, carries the meaning that ‘God is gracious’. This is how fated we are. We are not leaving here anymore. We will just hide and rest here. God will be gracious to us. In case we have successfully dodged this, then we’ll be victorious!”As she said that, the three of them then went into the cave again.Inside the narrow cave, the three of them nestled against each other and spent another night. Jane had not eaten for two days.She was so hungry that her lips had cracked and a layer of skin had come off. She was also feeling very light-headed. Noah’s mother was lying motionless on the pile of grass with her eyes shut. Noah was afraid that something bad might happen to his mother, so he would call out from time to time, “Mom…”His mother would then say firmly, “I’m fine. I just don’t want to waste any energy.”Noah did not know what to feel ab
Jane turned her head around, and she was terrified and stunned.Outside this narrow cave of theirs stood a man of steel, who was dressed in a suit and wore a pair of combat boots.The man had a mighty and cool expression.He was at least more than 180 centimeters tall, and the man also had an incomparably strong body.Even a man like Noah, who had never been trained in combat, could also tell that the man before his eyes was not someone who was easy to handle. “Is… Is that him?” Noah subconsciously asked Jane.Jane was still dumbfounded. However, she also mechanically replied, “He… He is not Alex. He… is Alex’s personal bodyguard.”Noah was speechless. It was no wonder that when he first looked at this man, he felt that this man was very strong and his body was very well-built. Noah felt that this person must be very skilled in combat. The three of them, on the other hand, had been starving for almost three days.Even if they had not been hungry for so long, if they were
That young girl who was domineering… She was the apple of Master Alex’s eyes. Master Alex had watched that girl grow up. Her position in Master Alex’s heart was incomparable to anyone else. Even Jane was no match for Lily.Although Garrett felt heartbroken for Jane, he could not say anything as well.He was only a bodyguard. That was his direct superior, Master Alex’s, business. He could only obey orders and do as he was told. At this moment, Garrett, who was standing outside the cave, was watching the people inside the cave without any expression on his face. An honest and earnest man was looking back at him without blinking his eyes, and the woman in his arms was curled into a ball. She was trembling, and her pair of big innocent and helpless eyes were looking at Garrett with tears and despair filled her expression.There was also an old lady next to them who was dressed in shabby clothes.The old lady staggered to her feet and blocked him, keeping Jane and Noah behind
When he saw the incomparably strong and vicious expression on his own superior’s face, Garrett was even more certain that his superior was absolutely going to punish Jane severely. He could not help but feel heartbroken for the madam with no status.Garrett was wondering to himself how a man’s heart could be this cruel.At the same time, he also admired his superior’s unwavering devotion and love for that actual fiancée, Lily. Garrett lamented in his heart. ‘If a man could give his heart to only one woman regardless of what other women he had been with, then such a man was also considered a faithful and devoted kind of person. Such a man is certainly a good man. It’s just that he has truly ruined the madam with no legitimate status, Jane.’Thinking of that pitiful woman, Garrett then asked again, “Master Alex, maybe they are still in the county that we were originally searching in. According to the situation described by the doctor, she shouldn’t have gone far. Maybe we have mis
After all, women who were pregnant were different. After they had enough food and drinks, they got on a cab once again and officially departed for Noah’s hometown. The moment when they got in the car once again, Jane’s heart was a lot more at ease. She warmly nestled in Noah’s arm, and spoke with an emotional tone like many things have changed with time. “Noah, actually… Actually, Alex had been quite nice to me. When I was staying at his house as a maid, he never treated me badly. The treatment he gave me was the best among all the maids.” Noah lowered his chin onto her head. “You are a good woman.” Jane still said, “It was me. It was my fault from the beginning. He didn’t do anything much with me, but I pestered him to be with me. After that, he got me beautiful clothes and took me out with him, then I had forgotten that I was actually just a maid, after all was said and done. When he was willing to hold me and spoil me, my status rose higher. “However, he did not keep doi
Being woken up by his subordinate, Alex immediately took out the weapon that he always carried on him and put it against Garrett’s head. “You don’t f*cking want to live anymore! You actually disturb me when I’m dreaming! I was dreaming. Dreaming, do you understand? My dream!”His dream.He could see his Jane in his dream.Such a gentle and obedient woman. The woman who was devoted to him. The woman who was incomparably pure in both body and soul.She was pregnant with his child. With her big and clumsy belly, she was backing away step by step, and her face was covered in tears. Alex was just one step away from being able to fiercely put her in his embrace, and then never let her go ever again.However, his dream was interrupted by Garrett!Alex roared at Garrettunreasonably. “Compensate me with my dream!”However, even if he was putting his weapon against Garrett’s head, Garrettstill asked in an extremely offensive tone, “Master, you… You… What did you say just now? You just
In a blink of an eye, Aino was already 18.She was already going to college.Her husband, Mister Ford, already had gray hairs on his sideburns and was already a man who was pushing 50.Both Sebastian and her had gone through thick and thin together for almost twenty years.That was so fast."Old man," Sabrina called out.Sebastian turned her head to the side and looked at Sabrina. "What did you just call me?"Sabrina smiled. "Isn't that right? You're going to be fifty next year, and I'm only in my early forties. I'm not an old lady, but you are a proper old man! Let me ask you something. Your sideburns have turned gray, are you going to dye your hair on our wedding day?""I'm not going to! I simply want others to say that an old man like me is marrying a young wife! Listen to me. You'd better stop dressing up and putting on makeup in the future!" Sebastian said to his wife, who looked ten years younger than him.How unreasonable!This old lady simply has not aged a day since
Yvonne hugged her children and lifted her head to look at her mother. At that moment, she was incredibly excited. She was both excited and aggrieved, which made her cry inconsolably. She rushed into her mother's arms. Immediately after, her father also hugged both her and her mother. The family of three was finally reunited. No, it should be a family of five at that moment. It would be a family of six with Marcus included. The family of six hugged each other and cried so much that the people at the side could not help but cry as well. Even the nurse also teared up.It was after a long while that Yvonne's parents let go of her."Alright, my child, let's go home. Let's go home."Helena raised her head and looked at Yvonne. Her child did not have her original face anymore, but she was truly her child. After her child went missing for five years, she finally got her child back. During that time, Yvonne got a rare condition that was hard to cure in any part of the world, but she was cure
After everything, all of it, was handled, Marcus suddenly burst out in tears."What's the matter, my son?" Missus Shaw has lost three sons and he was the only son left by her side. When she saw her son crying like that, it was only natural that she felt very saddened."Mom…I just feel that karma really is a funny thing. It's really making a fool of all of us! It turned out that everything was already destined. Everything was destined!" Marcus was covered in tears.Missus Shaw was confused. "What's the matter, my child?"Marcus cried and then he smiled. "Mom, I've finally understood why God let Yvonne go through this disaster that lasted for five years. It turned out that God had given her the biggest hardship which seemed so inhumane, but God had given her the best reward. Otherwise, the person who truly died would've been my Yvonne, wouldn't it? I would've been my Yvonne."Hearing him saying that, Missus Shaw said extremely emotionally as well, "That's right. At the end of it all
The fake Yvonne was still conscious the second before she died. She watched herself fall over with her eyes widened. She never would have expected it. After she had plotted everything, she was only one step away from the wedding, and then she could have replaced the real Yvonne and truly be a part of the high society of South City and be the wife of a rich man. However, she was fatally shot. Who was it?There was no time for her to look into it in detail before she fell to the ground. All of her regrets were forever sealed in her body. Without even a cry or shouting, she fell to the ground. She was feeling so reluctant to accept defeat that her heart had already stopped beating but her eyes were still wide open.Marcus was also stunned. He did intend to have Bonnie's entire gang arrested in one go, and he had already done it. The police were simply there that day to have this group of people surrounded. However, never in a million years would Marcus expect that someone would kill Bon
Two female attendants wheeled out a completely sealed glass cart. The ring that was carefully kept inside the glass cart was truly colorful and dazzling. Every side of the gem was radiating in different colors as the light shone upon it through the glass chart. The fake Yvonne was stunned silly when she saw it. Another person who was also stunned silly was the tan and fat man holding a pair of binoculars while sitting in a car across from the jewelry store.The tan and fat man muttered, "Gosh! This man must love her so much. He actually is willing to spend so much on her! This woman really deserves to die! She deserves to die too much!"Inside the jewelry store, Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne gently. "Do you like the ring I'm giving you?"The fake Yvonne was so excited that tears streamed down her face. "I like it. I love it too much! I truly love it so much!""I should've given you this ring four years ago. It was such a pity that at that time…""It's fine, hubby, it's fine. Is
All thirty people in the banquet hall were stunned. At that moment, they still have not made sense of what the hell has happened. How come a group of police came in once Yvonne left? Did they arrest the wrong people?"No, officer, we're…friends of Master Marcus of the Shaw family in South City. We've saved his wife. Master Marcus even said he is going to give me two apartments as gifts. Did you…have the wrong place?" Bella boldly asked the police at that moment.Nobody answered Bella. A few police officers came up and confiscated all of their phones. Not a single one was left behind.Bella could not hold herself back anymore and said while trembling, "We're Marcus' friends. He is not an ordinary person in South City. If Marcus knew that you've arrested us, when the time comes…"A police officer sneered. "The people we're arresting are all of you, the group of Marcus' friends!""Huh? Why?" Bella did not understand. Actually, she was not too familiar with the law. She just knew tha
"A billion dollars! Isn't he just insulting us, the three Shaw brothers? Marcus loves this bitch so much! When I see her looking so happy, I just want to kill her immediately! I have to have her killed!"At this end of the call, the tan and fat man asked Marcus' eldest brother very respectfully, "Sir, as long as you give an order. Just tell me, how do you want to get this woman killed? Why don't I kill her now?""No!" Marcus' brother stopped him and said. "It's not the best time now. There are too many people in there, so it's not going to be easy for you to escape. I only have a loyal servant like you. I can't let you die. You have to find a place outside that you can easily run away after getting the deed done. Now is not the right time!"The tan and fat man instantly said, "Alright, Sir, whatever you say. I'll find an even messier place and have this woman killed! I'll be hanging up now, sir!"After he hung up the call, the tan and fat man continued watching everything inside th
When Bella heard Marcus saying that, she immediately said shyly, "Gosh, how can I trouble Master Marcus in everything? No…there's nothing else.""Come on, Bella, whatever difficulties you have, just say it. My husband is the second most powerful person in South City anyway. There's really nothing he can't do." The fake Yvonne lifted her head and looked at Marcus coquettishly. "Am I right, hubby?"Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne very dotingly. "Baby, what do you think? I'm a husband that you've picked, so could you have been mistaken?""That's right!" The fake Yvonne happily leaned her head on Marcus' shoulder. Marcus hugged the fake Yvonne and was feeling so disgusted that he almost threw up. This Yvonne and his Yvonne indeed look very alike. They looked extremely alike! If this Yvonne did not speak and remained quiet, Marcus would feel that this is his Yvonne and his wife whom he had been thinking of all day and all night. However, the real Yvonne would never make such a request o
Of course, the fake Yvonne agreed. Three days later, they held a banquet for the fake Yvonne's benefactors at the most luxurious hotel in South City. Some of them were out-of-towners. There were also some from South City. Marcus roughly scanned them and surely, the middle-aged woman was there. She was the woman who was staying in the same area with Mila back then and the one who suggested letting Mile do a DNA test.Marcus held the fake Yvonne's hand and came to the middle-aged woman. "Miss, do you still recognize me?"The fake Yvonne immediately introduced her to him. "Darling, let me tell you, this is the lady who had helped me the most. Her name is Bella Hughes. She has always been taking great care of me, including the time I had a miscarriage. She was the one who took care of me. I feel we should give her two apartments!"The middle-aged woman named Bella immediately waved. "No need, no need. There's really no need for that. To be able to escort you back to your husband's side
