John hugged Anne longly before finally regaining his composure. He kissed her forehead and held her face in his hands tenderly. "Shall we go to bed together? I'll make you a nice cup of warm milk if you can't sleep."

Anne nodded.

With that, John smiled and kissed her again before finally leaving the room.

The living room was dark, which meant Robyn had gone to sleep.

John switched on the lights, then walked into the kitchen to grab the milk carton and heated it in a cup.

He returned to the bedroom with Anne's cup, only to find her staring out the window at the apartment building across from theirs.

At this moment, the entire building was ablaze with light and activity. Cars were parked outside the building with countless men dressed in black rushing into the building as though they were in search of someone.

John furrowed his brows. "Is that the police?"

Those men did not appear to be policemen, but if not, who else would they be? Why would they be searching for someone in the

    Anne froze upon hearing John's idea.A second later, she sighed and nodded."Alright. I'll be off now." John sighed as he took the empty cup from her. "I know that neither of us would even blink an eye for ten thousand dollars in the past, but…"Things have changed.10000 dollars was more than enough to cover their household expenses for three months and temporarily relieve their financial burden. He wanted to do everything he could to get his hands on the money.The look Anne cast at him was full of helplessness and remorse.She wrapped her arms around John's body and gently kissed his jaw. Finally, she fixed her gaze on him, as though she was trying to tell him that she would support him no matter what.Although Anne could no longer speak, they were soulmates and could understand each other with just one glance. Therefore, John understood exactly what she was trying to convey to him.He nodded before finally walking out of the room and closing the door gently behind him. Then

    The old version of John would have passed out if he was threatened with a gun, but after nearly losing Anne's life and having murdered someone with his bare hands, he was not at all afraid of being pointed at with a gun.He stared at the man pointing the gun. "I'm just here for the money."The man frowned and asked dubiously, "What money?"John pointed at the illuminated buildings outside the window. "Well, if I guessed correctly, all those people are here for you."The man narrowed his eyes. "You're correct."They would never miss out on such a commotion.Unfortunately, they did not receive any orders from Tyson to leave, and even if they wanted to, they were surrounded and had no chance of escaping.They were trying to decide what to do, and this man just so happened to barge in. Of course they would immediately suspect his motives."What are you doing here?"John sighed and pointed again at his apartment building. "I live right across the street. We all heard that they were

    "I can help you escape!" John exclaimed just as the man was about the pull trigger. "I can help you!"The man furrowed his brow and moved the gun away from John's forehead. "What do you have?"John exhaled and said in a low voice, "Sir, have you forgotten about what I said? Whoever's searching for you right now is giving out ten thousand dollars to every person whose door they knocked on."There are many more tenants in this building besides you, and if you guys split up and sneak into the vacant units, you'll be able to pass off as tenants. Not only will you be safe, but you'll get some money in addition also."There are plenty of other people like me who've snuck in just to get the money. If you put on a good act, I'm sure no one will notice!"With that, John glanced at the rest of the men in the room and added, "Sir, I'm sorry to say this, but you guys are no match for the people outside. There are carloads of men out there searching for you right now, and no matter how powerfu

    "Do you honestly think I'd be a spy?" John scratched his head sheepishly. "I'm just here for the money, but I just so happened to run into you guys. Now that I'm here, not only will I not get my money, but I might be killed too. All I'm trying to do is make sure I get out of here alive by helping you guys."Scarface stared at him for a long time before narrowing his eyes again. "Are you being honest?""Of course I am." John grinned. "I, like everyone else in this room, just want to stay alive."If you don't listen to my advice, and those people find us…"John did not need to finish his sentence; everyone in the room knew what would happen to them if they were found.One of the men leaped off the bed. "Let's do as he said, Scarface. We'll all split up and each find a unit to hide in. It's all a game of luck from here on out. Even if we're found, we can't reveal anything about the rest of us."This is far better than staying here and waiting for death to come.""But…" All of a sud

    "Sir," John called out. "I never pegged you for such a loyal friend."Scarface glared at him. "Don't talk to me. You're a slippery eel. I know you're just talking to me because you're trying to escape. Well, let me tell you this; you won't stand a chance."Since he had chosen to sacrifice himself by staying behind with the hostages, he was determined not to be fooled by this man anymore.John's heart sank. "Sir, I'm not trying to escape. I just wanted to make small talk, that's all."Scarface sneered. "Well, if you're feeling lonely, you can talk to that old geezer next to you. He's been here a long time and didn't have anyone to talk to. Perhaps you guys can be friends and accompany each other when you go to heaven!"Scarface's words made John's skin crawl. He was about to say something else, but Scarface pointed the gun at him. "Shut up, or I'll shoot you."John froze and decided not to bother him anymore. Instead, he turned to the man next to him. "Hello, sir. Tell me, how ric

    John cowered and did not dare to say another word. Instead, he sighed in desolation.Was he going to die here?He had yet to hear Anne utter her first word. He had yet to watch his beautiful daughter grow up or see his sister get married…He closed his eyes.He had done everything he could to fake Anne's death so he could sneak her out of Banyan City to somewhere where no one could find them.He thought he could finally give her the life she wanted and protect her from danger, but he had walked right into a trap, all for the promise of 10000 dollars. He could not even begin to imagine how Robyn and Anne would react if they heard about this.Would Anne be so stunned by the news of his death that she could finally speak again?If that happened, perhaps his death would finally mean something after all…All of a sudden, Scarface turned to glance coldly at Andy and said, "You still haven't answered the question."Andy and John were both stunned to hear this.A split second later,

    Both Scarface and the man outside the door froze.John turned to stare, wide-eyed, at the man next to him.How dare he? Did he have a death wish?!John could understand that the old man was probably excited to see someone coming to save him after being entrapped for so long, but this was not the right time to do so!"Rats!" Scarface immediately whipped around and fired a shot toward Andy's head.A split second later, someone grunted in pain, followed by the smell of burning flesh mixed with blood.The man outside the door tackled Scarface to the floor. "Don't move!"The rest of his crew stormed into the room and switched on the lights.They realized that Andy was not the only one in the room. Next to him was a younger man bleeding from the gunshot wound in his shoulder.Andy, on the other hand, was scared out of his wits. He clung to John's arm and yelped, "Are you okay? Young man! Are you still alive?""I'm not dead." John furrowed his brow. "Why are you so stupid? I'm surpr

    "Know him? Oh, we go way back…" Joshua sighed, then kneeled to get a closer look at John's injury. "What happened?"Before anyone could even answer, Andy sighed. With Gwen's help, he slowly picked himself up from the floor. "It's all my fault. We already agreed on a plan to escape, but I couldn't stop myself from shouting when I saw these people coming to save me."The kidnapper fired the gun at me to try to kill me, but…"He glanced rather remorsefully at the unconscious John lying on the floor. "This young man leaped in front of me to protect me. I was unscathed, but I can't say the same for him…"With that, Andy lifted his head to stare at Gwen. "It's all my fault. Not only did I drag all of you into this, but I…even injured this poor, innocent young man."Gwen shed a tear when she heard this. "It's not your fault, Father. As for John…"She sniffed and was about to say something when Luke spoke, frowning, "He'll be fine. The gunshot wound is on his shoulder, and it doesn't loo

    At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
