Gilbert turned the tap on and washed his face with some cold water. He pressed his hands onto the sink as he looked into the mirror. He had a self-deprecating smile as a pair of bloodshot eyes stared back at him. 'What have I become? All this for a woman?' He felt a sort of sick satisfaction with what he had done to Kisa earlier, but he also deeply regretted his actions at the same time. 'I told myself I would never touch that woman like that again, but what did I just do?'

Gilbert's temples throbbed. He hit the sink irritably, adding a new wound to his already injured knuckles. Water was still dripping from his messy hair. He stared at the mirror for a long time before walking out of the bathroom.

Suddenly, the bathroom door slammed open. A fruit knife flew toward Gilbert at the speed of light. He did not dodge. Instead, he just watched the woman try to stab him with hatred plastered across her face. It seemed like he was betting with himself that she would not actually be heartless

    Jensen was smoking a cigarette. There were many cigarette butts near his feet. Gilbert glanced at him and chuckled, "Did you hear everything?""You *sshole!" Jensen hit Gilbert in the jaw after he said that, but Gilbert did not dodge. He took the punch and fell to the ground, battered. Jensen then threw the cigarette away, rushed over, and grabbed Gilbert by the collar. "How could you treat her like that? There's really nothing going on between us!" said Jensen as he went for two more punches."Do you love her?"Jensen was silent. He stared at Gilbert fiercely and thought, 'This is the first time I've laid a hand on you. If you weren't my brother, I would kill you right here and now.'Seeing that he was not answering, Gilbert laughed. There was a hint of sadness behind his laughter. "You have my blessing, okay?"Jensen frowned. "What do you mean?" he asked."You have my blessing. You and her... I wish... I wish you a happy life together..." A huge smile was plastered on Gilbert's

    "What happened, Jensen? How did Gilbert get hurt?" Sharon asked, but Jensen kept quiet.Sharon got angry and impatient, "Well? Say something. How did he get hurt?""I-I accidentally stabbed him.""There's no way it was you," Madalyn looked at him with her clouded eyes and said. "You would never do anything to hurt Gilbert, let alone take his life."Madalyn's trust in Jensen formed a lump in his throat. He felt a little sad and self-deprecating. Then, he snickered, turned his gaze out the window, and remained silent."It must be that woman. Kisa's the one who stabbed Gilbert, right?" Sharon rolled her eyes and said angrily. Jensen did not reply, which then made Sharon even more sure of her suspicion. "That woman is vicious. She messed with GK Pictures, and now she's trying to take Gilbert's life? I'll call her now and ask her why she did that. I'll call the police and have her arrested. This is murder we're talking about!" Sharon said as she took out her phone to call Kisa.Howeve

    Madalyn hurriedly rose to her feet to meet him. Due to her impatient movements in addition to her older age, Madalyn almost fell from her stumbling footsteps. Fortunately, Jensen quickly held onto her.Madalyn anxiously asked the doctor, " How is my grandson?""The patient's wounds are deep, and the new wound is right on the position of the old injuries with major blood loss. Thankfully, we were able to save him in time. He won't be in any life-threatening danger, but his body will be frail. He would need to recuperate for a while. "Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Madalyn almost fainted from all the panic.After hearing the final half of the statement, she finally let out a deep sigh of relief. Jensen's strained nerves also slowly relaxed. Gilbert was immediately pushed out of the sick ward. His face was pale as paper and seemed to have no hint of vigor.Madalyn sat at the side of the sick bed, caressing the back of Gilbert's hand repeatedly. Her aging eyes were filled

    He woke up, and Kelvin was the first thing that caught his eye. Kelvin had both his hands in his pockets while leaning by the window.Seeing him awake, Kelvin could not help but mock him, "Can't you take care of your body properly and let me have some fun out there for a few days?"Gilbert stared at the ceiling emotionlessly, without making a sound.If it wasn't for both his eyes that were opened wide, no one would have known he was awake."I heard your injuries were caused by Kisa stabbing you again?" Kelvin asked.Gilbert still did not make a sound.Kelvin exclaimed with a sigh and raised his feet to walk toward him."That woman and these injuries are truly destined for each other. I wonder if she would stab you at the same place for the third time.""She wouldn't." He finally spoke. His voice was so gravelly that his ears would hurt.Kelvin quickly poured a cup of water for him. Yet when water was passed in front of him, he turned his head without a hint of gratefulness. Ke

    "Dad..." Blake looked at Jensen, "Did something happen to Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Kisa?"Jensen scrunched his brows thoughtfully, " Why would you think that way?'"In the morning, Uncle Gilbert wasn't acting right. His expression wasn't good. He also reeked of a strong booze smell. Besides, Aunt Kisa would be home every day, but she wasn't this morning."Jensen was helpless. Without a doubt, this kid's mind was very sensitive.Generally, children at this age would not have noticed these details, but he caught them. He took Blake by the hand to the side of the window and spoke to him earnestly, "You should stop imagining these things. Your uncle and aunt are fine.""Then are they having a quarrel?" Blake asked.Jensen kept quiet this time. Blake looked at him, upset, " Dad, I don't want Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Kisa to argue. I wish they could live together happily."Jensen asked him with mixed feelings, " You really like them, right?"Blake nodded his head heavily, "They are my fa

    Jensen twitched his lips in self-mockery. The person with the most right to blame him in this world was Kisa herself, because she was the only person besides his mother to have treated him well, but he was doing things that were harming her.In the Kooper mansion, Madalyn organized the servants to make a table full of delicious dishes. She even kept Kelvin and Gracie over for a meal at the Kooper residence.As for Sharon, when Gilbert was hurt those few days, she was always at the Kooper residence taking care of Gilbert. Hence during mealtimes, she would also be by the dining table. With the additional people, the Kooper house was a little livelier. However, this type of liveliness was still less cheerful without the sound of children.Madalyn spoke to Gilbert, " Your injuries are almost healed. In two more days, go fetch Ada and Andrew back. I've missed them so much recently."Gilbert lightly nodded his head.Sharon took the opportunity to say, " That's right, always throwing the

    Gilbert drank his bowl of soup and replied softly. Madalyn was ecstatic beyond compare and quickly poured another bowl of soup for him.But Sharon grew restless and spoke to Madalyn, worried, " This doesn't seem appropriate. Gilbert was just hurt by that woman. Wouldn't it be a little too much of a hurry to introduce a girl to him immediately right now? Why don't we let Gilbert settle down before discussing it?""I don't think it's inappropriate," Kelvin suddenly chuckled, " His type of condition requires a new relationship to wash away the sorrow in his heart. If this new relationship works out, I believe Gilbert will definitely cheer up very quickly. In the future, he would be more and more joyful.""Mm...," Madalyn repeatedly nodded, " What Kelvin said is reasonable, so Gilbert, you must meet up with the girl tomorrow. I will give you the time and venue later.""Alright," Regardless of what Madalyn was saying or even what anyone said, Gilbert would always answer with no expressi

    Kisa had not stepped outside of the house for many days. These days, her phone had surprisingly not rung. Besides sleeping, she would eat for the whole day and be starting to be more and more unwilling to socialize with people.That night, Jensen brought the kids over. The kids were happy to see her, and Kisa showed a long-awaited smile. Jensen even bought a lot of cooking materials over.When the kids arrived, her mood was instantly better, and she carried the vegetables to the kitchen to be cooked. Blake came in to assist her while Jensen was in the living room, telling Ada and Andrew a story. Kisa took out the ingredients she wanted to use first and left the others for Blake to sort into the refrigerator.Blake's movements were adept. From a glance, it was apparent he frequently did these chores for his family. Her gaze on Blake grew softer and softer. Sometimes she was envious of Mia and Jensen for having such a well-behaved and mature son."Aunt Kisa, will Uncle Gilbert be com

The surrounding houses were all quaint inns, exuding a poetic and picturesque charm.Beneath an arching bridge, Kisa set up an easel to display and sell her paintings.

She would sell most of her paintings every day.On weekends, Blake would join her at the stall, but today was Wednesday, and she was alone. After arranging her paintings, she had barely sat down when people began to gather around. Some admired her art, while others immediately offered to buy. Her paintings were reasonably priced, which attracted many customers."Miss, I'd like that painting of the snow-covered rose garden at night.""Alright,

    In the backyard, Kohen looked at his older brother's calm expression, a hint of worry in his voice. "Bro, are you alright?""I'm fine," Hayes said, adjusting the blanket on his lap. "Tomorrow, take me to meet those medical geniuses you found.""Oh, sure..." Kohen nodded in agreement, but after a moment, he could not help but ask, "Bro, what did that woman say to you that made you change your mind so suddenly?"Hayes gazed at the stars in the sky, his voice cool and distant. "She told me she's doing well, very happy. Then she pointed out how pitiful and miserable I am right now. She asked me if I don't feel envious, knowing how well she is doing compared to me."Kohen grimaced, realizing that the woman had provoked his brother into action.Hayes lowered his eyes, a faint smile on his face. "That's right. How could I not be envious? So, I want to heal my legs, live a good life, and show her that I can do better than her."Kohen felt a pang of sympathy for his brother. From Hayes's

    Mentioning Hayes, Eylul's expression became complex. "Hayes is reclusive and doesn't like to see people. Only a single old servant has been taking care of him all these years. I only met him once, back when I married Kohen."Mia's heart ached, recalling the enigmatic yet deeply emotional man. She could not help but feel a lump in her throat. "How's his health?" Mia asked.Eylul replied, "His health is fine, but his legs have remained the same. Kohen has found top orthopedic experts for him and even sought out Kelvin Hoover from Calthon, but he refuses treatment. For so many years, he hasn't even stepped outside the backyard.""You mean he's been living in the backyard all this time?" Jensen asked gravely.Eylul nodded. "Yes, Kohen wanted him to live in the main house, but he refused. He only likes staying in the backyard. Moreover, the room he stays in used to be..." Eylul glanced at Mia. She had heard that Mia used to live in that room.With a complicated expression, Mia pursed h

    "Let's forget everything that just happened,' Mia said.Jensen looked up at her. In the moonlight, his eyes were deep and complex, profound and unfathomable.Mia tried to muster a smile. "You don't have to feel burdened. In a way, I forced you. And you must have always disliked me. Actually, I didn't come to you for money; I just wanted to see you. Now that I have, I should go. Jensen, from now on... take care."With that, she walked away, fearing that if she lingered any longer, she would not be able to leave. But after only a few steps, she was embraced from behind.Jensen's voice was low and hoarse. "Stay with me."Mia trembled at his words. Jensen continued. "But I still have so many things to do and someone in my heart I can't let go of. I don't know... when I will be able to give you a satisfactory answer. If you don't want to stay with me without any promises or guarantees, you can—""I'm willing," Mia blurted out, "as long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything

    Mia's face changed instantly. " You... you know I like Jensen, why would you...""Heh, if you like Jensen, shouldn't you be willing to do anything for him? If you can't even do this, how can you claim to love him?""I won't do it! Doing this would be betraying Jensen. I would risk my life for him, but I can't do this."Adrien stared at her flushed face and gently chuckled, his words loaded with meaning. "Aren't you feeling all hot and bothered yet?"Mia frowned. Her body was indeed getting hotter and more agitated. 'Why would Adrien ask this? Could it be the drink...?'As the thought crossed her mind, her heart sank. Seeing Adrien's cold expression and the man's playful smile, Mia turned and ran. But before she could take more than a few steps, she was dragged back. Weakened by the drink, her desperate struggles were futile. As the man pressed her down, playing with her like a toy, she closed her eyes in despair. She thought she could never face Jensen again. With a bitter laugh,

    Adrien Tanner, Jensen's father, stood before Mia with a warm smile. "My son is truly awkward when it comes to matters of the heart. He's even willing to refuse such a beautiful young woman like you."Mia stared at him, her tears suddenly streaming down her face. "I only wanted to see him, even if it was to face rejection. Wouldn't it better to say it clearly to my face?""Yes, it would." Adrien agreed. "But standing here stubbornly won't help, because he left on a business trip a couple of days ago."Mia's heart ached even more, realizing that Jensen had avoided using the front door just to evade her.Adrien continued. "I have a way to make him come to you willingly, but it depends on whether you're willing to cooperate."Mia nodded. "What do I have to do?"Adrien motioned to his bodyguard, who handed him a glass of wine. "Drink this," he said.Mia furrowed her brow, hesitant.Adrien gently patted her shoulder, like a father would."Don't be afraid. I won't harm you. From the

    Filled with guilt, Mia stepped forward, but Kohen suddenly pulled out a handgun and aimed it at her."Get out!"Jensen pulled Mia back. He looked at the cold man before him. It was this man who had taken him in years ago. At that time, Kohen was young, a carefree and privileged young man. Now, he seemed to have grown up all at once, his eyes colder and more distant.Jensen said with a troubled expression, "If you ever need me in the future, don't hesitate to find me."Kohen sneered coldly; pain etched in his brow. He mocked himself. "I never should have taken you in back then. In the end, it was I who harmed my own brother."Jensen pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, only feeling an unbearable pain in his heart. It was the first time he felt he owed someone. That sense of indebtedness suffocated him."Get out, and don't let me see you two ever again."On that night, Jensen and Mia left the McCray family. As a result of Hayes's ordeal, the McCray family underwent tremendous

    "What on earth happened?"Jensen did not speak. Mia choked out. "The collaboration between the Burton family and the McCray family was a trap. We were ambushed by the Burton family, and Hayes... he was hit by a car trying to save us.""Damn it!" Kohen cursed under his breath, abruptly pulling a knife from a nearby bodyguard and pointing it at them. "What are your lives worth? Why would my brother save you? Why?"Mia bit her lip, tears streaming down her face. 'It's my fault. I wanted to save Jensen, but I should have gone alone. I shouldn't have dragged Hayes into this. He seemed cold-blooded and heartless, and I never thought that he would risk his life for me. Why was he so good to me?'"Kohen..."Suddenly, a weak cry rang out. Hayes had awakened.Kohen hurriedly moved closer, gripping Hayes's hand. "Bro!"Hayes's face was deathly pale. He did not look at Kohen, but instead turned his gaze to Mia. His eyes were calm. He saw Mia's red-rimmed eyes and the tears lingering there,

    Hayes was sent flying by the car, his body crashing into a wall before bouncing back.Mia's entire body felt ice-cold as she trembled, yelling, "Hayes!""Kill them all!" A hoarse, aged voice suddenly rang out from the entrance. It was Curtis. He looked at Kendall's lifeless body on the ground, his eyes filled with rage, shouting, "Run them over! I want them to join my grandson in death!""Ah!" Jensen roared, disregarding the guards' swinging knives, and like a madman, charged at Curtis. Curtis's face changed, desperately pulling a nearby guard in front of him as a shield. But it was useless. Jensen, like a crazed beast, attacked anyone in his path. Soon, his knife was held against Curtis's throat.Curtis trembled all over. "Wh-What do you want?"Jensen, covered in blood with splatters on his face, looked like a demon that had emerged from a battleground. He grabbed Curtis and held him hostage in front of him. "Let us go!""Don't even think about it!" Curtis retorted angrily. "You
