Avery didn’t exactly try to hold him back. Smiling at Sophia, he said, “I didn’t know you enrolled in the same college Charles did. In fact, this is my alma mater!”

Returning his smile, she said, “Nice. I’m going to say I know you if anyone looks at me funny.”

He chuckled. “It’s a handy trick, too. I had a word with the director and dean. So, feel free to look them up or give me a call if you need any help.”

She smiled helplessly, “Come on. I’m not a kid.”

Michelle, who had been keeping a faint smile on her face, said, “Keep an eye out for Professor Patel’s lectures. You have to catch it. They’re as wonderful as they are informative.”

She wasn’t about to shoot her down. Moreover, Sophia knew that there was time and place for everything. So, she smiled and went along with her, “Alright. Got it.”

However, she did glance at Charlene as she spoke.

Charlene might’ve seemed fine, but Sophia knew that she was just putting on a brave face. She was trying hard to be a competent bodyguar

    As Avery fell to the ground with Michelle in his arms, he saw Charlene soaring through the air from the impact before plummeting to the ground. She then rolled away from the road until her head crashed into one of the many stores’ steps.“Charlie…” Avery clambered to his feet, wanting to check on Charlene.However, Michelle grabbed his hand and called out to him weakly, “Avery…”Avery looked at Michelle frantically as she fell limp into his embrace. “Hold on, Michelle. What happened?”Charlene looked toward Avery. She needed to see if he was safe and sound. The moment she saw past the crowd and everything that stood between them, she saw him holding Michelle tightly and the panicked look on his face.She took a deep breath at the sight. She couldn’t fault Avery for this, either. After all, he didn’t love her, and she couldn't force him to.With that said, the crash was excruciating. Charlene’s whole body was in pain. Raising her hand weakly, she touched the back of her head and f

    “Michelle will be fine. Her parents can take care of her.” Avery turned toward Mason and Leticia. “You two should look after Michelle while I keep an eye on Charlie. She doesn’t have any family here.”Leticia responded, “Sure thing. Don’t worry about Michelle. We’ve got her.”Mason also said, “Get some rest, Charlie. We’ll see you again later.”Avery wiped Charlene’s tears when both of them left, “I’m sorry. Does your head still hurt?”He felt as if he was deceiving himself as soon as he asked the question. Charlene was a tough girl. So, why would she cry because of her head injury? Avery wondered why she felt sorry for herself.‘She’s crying because of me. I know that, but what can I do or give her to stop her heartache?’Charlene responded, “Not really.”Avery changed the topic on purpose, “Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll ask my men to buy you some porridge.”With that, he made a phone call.Charlene watched as he thoughtfully told his men to buy the porridge from a

    Smiling, he explained, “I’ll stay with you, but there will be times when you need a lady to take care of you. So, it’ll be easier for both of us if we have a private nurse with us.”That reminded her of the times when she had to use the restroom. Avery couldn’t have helped her with that. Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed. She responded softly, “Um. Sure. Does Sophy know that I’m hurt?”He responded, “No, she doesn’t. Otherwise, she would’ve come here in a heartbeat.”That brought a warm smile to her face. “Don’t let her know about this. She’ll just get her panties in a bunch.”He said, “How did you know her? She told me that you guys are besties.”She said, “We studied under the same master, but our ranks are equal. Here’s the thing. I’m older than her, so that makes me her senior over there. However, she kept insisting that she was the senior because she greeted our master a second earlier than I did. “She can be quite the headache sometimes. The fact is that we went th

    Avery wasn’t happy with the way things turned out. However, Michelle had moved her suitcase into Charlene’s ward, and her mother made such a good case for it. He couldn’t reject and embarrass Leticia.So, he simply said, “Well. Make sure you guys don’t overdo it and hinder each other’s rest.”Leticia said, “That goes without saying. Michelle needed to take it easy, and Charlene needed some peace. It’s a perfect fit.”He remained quiet and didn’t say anything further. Then, he took the pizza box, sat by Charlene’s bed, and continued to feed her. “Hurry up. It’s going to get cold.”Charlene’s eyes shifted uneasily. At first, she stared at Michelle. Then, she looked at Leticia. Both of them were staring daggers at her, wishing they could skin her alive.She said, “Maybe I should do it myself.” Instead of responding to her, he stuck the pizza out stubbornly and said, “Come on.” His tone was as tender as it could be.Her heart began pounding like crazy. Parting her lips, she ate the

    Charlene smiled sarcastically. “You and your family are full of it!”Releasing Michelle, who was leaning on his chest, he walked over to Charlene and said, “I’ll arrange another ward for you.”She looked at him, her eyes full of disappointment. At that moment, she felt so sorry for herself, but there was no one she could lay it on.It turned out he trusted Michelle more than he trusted her.After all, they were a couple. Why would Avery listen to Charlene? For that matter, wasn’t it better if the nurses transferred her to another ward? Charlene had no interest in sharing a ward with Michelle.Averting her gaze, she sighed wearily and nodded. “Fine.”At that moment, she saw a tall figure dressed in red at the door. Then, she caught a faint scent of roses. She knew who it was.“Xena…”She called out to her pitifully.Her voice painted a picture of a child who had left her home impulsively and wandered on the streets for days before finally reuniting with her family.

    Charlene wasn’t going to think about that part of the incident, but Xena reminded her of it. Lowering her eyes, she said, “I’m aware of that.”“Well, then. Why did you save Avery? If Andrew finds out you’re this messed up because you risked yourself to save someone else, he’s going to be heartbroken.”“Don’t tell Andrew about this.”“How do you figure you can hide it from him? It’s on the news. That’s why I came here. Do you really think he’s not going to see it, too?”Charlene was distraught, “Well, what should I do? Please help me take it off the news, Xena. Perhaps he hasn’t seen it yet. I know I should walk away from Avery, but I just can’t do it…”Bending down, Xena hugged her. “Alright. I know what you mean…”She wept. “Michelle doesn’t deserve him at all. She was such a hypocrite. Michelle would talk to me nastily when we were alone and change when Quintus was around.“She was trying to scare me away a second ago, and then she’d switch tracks and beg me to stop chasing he

    Charlene sighed and stared at him, frightened. Her eyes fluttered, and her lips tightened. However, she still responded, "Mhm."Avery took a deep breath, glanced at his phone, and walked straight out.Charlene's gaze followed him as he walked away, listening to the gradually fading sound of his footsteps and his instructions for the caregiver to take care of her. Her heart suddenly felt empty.He left to meet Michelle, leaving Charlene in the hands of the caregiver.Charlene’s blank in that instant, feeling as if she hadn't breathed for half an eternity. She sighed and suppressed her tears. Charlene knew she could not cry because she made Avery leave.Why should she feel aggrieved? But despite her efforts, she couldn't help but let the tears flow freely. She covered her eyes so no one would know she was crying.The caregiver, a woman in her forties who had just started working, asked, "Miss Charlene, are you okay?"Charlene remained motionless and pretended not to hear anything.

    Avery chuckled. "Hungry, aren't you? My mom's chicken soup is the best in the world. She hasn't been feeling well these past few years, and we haven't had it in a long time. You should try it."Charlene pushed the bowl away, "Then you drink it."Avery advised as he gently stirred the soup, "Charlie, don't overthink for others in the future. People are selfish. You should think of yourself first and then consider others. My mom made this soup for you. Even if you want to give it to someone else, it should be after you've finished drinking it, understand?"Charlene looked into his eyes and nodded.Avery then asked, "Did you cry just now?"Charlene's gaze dodged for a moment, stubbornly saying, "No."Avery sighed, "Didn't you listen to Xena? It’s natural for me to take care of you. Even if it's Michelle, she has no right to make a scene. Even if you want to sacrifice for us, wait until you're better before doing so."Charlene explained, "I didn't force her to leave you, and I didn'

    “Ah, no!” Sophia instinctively reached out to catch it, but the phone narrowly missed her fingers. So, she just watched as he tossed the telephone into the bushes.Sophia was infuriated. "Brother, you haven't sung for me yet?"Kyle looked at her. "Time's up.""Time's up for what? You big liar."As she spoke, she balled her fists and attacked him.Although she was no match for Kyle in martial arts, he couldn't fight her in such a confined space. So, Kyle found himself somewhat helpless in this narrow space.He grabbed both her hands with his big hands and pinned her legs with his, leaving Sophia unable to move her limbs.Frustrated, she aimed her head at Kyle and lunged forward. Kyle instinctively dodged. Sophia's little head directly hit his chest.Thud.It felt like a forty-pound hammer hitting his chest, causing Kyle to start coughing on the spot. He was truly at a loss. She was too much to handle, using every trick in the book.With one hand rubbing his sore chest and the

    At that moment, it seemed like the world came to a standstill. The man and the woman at the door were so scared they hardly dared to breathe. How dare this woman. How could she slap Kyle?They sneakily glanced at Kyle's reddened face, wishing they could disappear. They were afraid they'd face his wrath, too.Kyle also couldn't believe what he was seeing. This little drunkard in front of him wasn't speaking gently or acting cute, and instead of calling him brother, she slapped him. He was furious. At that moment, he had already thought of where to bury this woman.However, Sophia didn't seem to realize the seriousness of hitting someone. She suddenly jerked her wrist and broke free from the man's grasp. Whether it was because she used too much force or because she was drunk and couldn't control her strength, she stumbled and fell on her rear.This fall was solid, and she couldn't help but cry in pain, "Ow!"Tears streamed down her face.Kyle was bewildered for a moment. The anger

    Sophia felt helpless. This man's schemes ran too deep. He didn't reveal anything useful. The two drank one glass after another from seven in the evening until ten at night. Sophia's head was spinning.She had been trying to limit herself, taking small sips each time. Unfortunately, her tolerance for alcohol was quite poor. Her gaze was unfocused, and the man opposite her seemed to blur into duplicates. She knew deep down that she was drunk. It was frustrating. When would her tolerance improve?"Are you deliberately trying to get me drunk to see me embarrass myself?" Kyle lounged carelessly. "I didn't know your alcohol tolerance was so poor."Sophia snorted softly in her heart. Ignorance was truly unbelievable. She even suspected that this man had seen her drunk before. Otherwise, why insist on drinking with her? She needed to control herself now; otherwise, her stingy husband at home would be infuriated.So she just slumped onto the table, motionless.Kyle chuckled. "Are you dru

    Kyle compromised, "Alright, I won't touch you."Sophia sternly commanded, "Get off."Kyle slowly got up from her.Sophia's piece of porcelain against his neck remained unmoved, her little face tense.Kyle sat up and waved to remove the hand threatening his neck, "Alright, if I bleed, you lose your life. Do you think I'm afraid of such a broken thing like you?"He knocked away the piece of porcelain in Sophia's hand, but she didn't pick it up. Instead, she said softly, "I know you're not afraid. As the top boss of the Netherworld Palace, what kind of woman can't you have? But it's not worth it to ruin the mood just to sleep with a woman, don't you think?"Kyle looked at her and smiled. Far from diminishing with Sophia's various rudeness, the interest in his eyes only intensified.He stretched out his long arm and grabbed Sophia's nape, pulling her closer. The two were close enough to hear each other breathe.There was a determined smile in his eyes. "I like smart girls."Sophia

    Kylie smirked. "So, how else do you want me to repay you?"But Sophia couldn't shake the feeling that his smile seemed somewhat sinister.Kyle wasn't the kind of person to easily agree. Could it be true that she had saved him?After contemplating, she said, "For example, a substantial monetary reward, a direct increase in shares and equity, or at the very least, treating me to a meal would suffice.“But instead, you kidnapped me, restricted my movements, and now you're telling me it's repayment? Did I perhaps drown your son in a well in a past life, prompting you to repay me in such a unique way?"He was left bewildered by Sophia's rapid-fire words. What was this woman talking about?After a good while, he finally grasped the gist of her words. "Alright, let's go. I'll treat you to a meal."Sophia looked at him, surprised that he was so easy to persuade. She took advantage of the situation and added, "Then first, give back the phone to your lifesaving benefactor."Kyle replied,

    Elliot searched the inside and out of the car. He indeed found a box of acupuncture needles tucked away in a corner. His wife always had a habit of carrying a box of acupuncture needles with her, not for self-defense, but for saving others.However, this box had yet to be opened, proving that the skills of the person they were dealing with surpassed hers. Otherwise, she wouldn't have missed the chance to use the needles.It seemed that this car was indeed the right one.He looked at the dirt road ahead, with tracks from two vehicles. One was a regular sedan, and the other looked like an off-road vehicle.But no more surveillance cameras were ahead, so they wondered if the cars had turned back or continued forward.He relayed the situation to Avery once again. Avery began to investigate, checking every detail of the vehicle information provided by Elliot. At this point, the police, Samuel, and his team arrived one after the other.Since there were no surveillance cameras in this a

    "Mary," Paisley called out each word, but then her throat seemed to constrict, and she couldn't say anything more. Tears welled up in her eyes.Lucas also felt anguished. "We're sorry, Mary, but we haven't wronged you."Mary sneered, "If you haven't, how did I end up in this situation today? You both are incompetent parents. What's the point of arguing? You only have two daughters. Can't you treat us equally?"Paisley was truly enraged by her words. "How have I not treated you equally? Mary was just being clever. Perhaps I inadvertently praised her, but I never said you were bad, did I? Just because of this, you want to abandon Mary?“Are you even human? After you went missing, I couldn't eat or sleep peacefully. Every night was spent in tears. I knew you suffered a lot, and surviving wasn't easy, so when I found out it was Mary who made you disappear, I resented her deeply.“I did everything to make it up to you, even at the cost of hurting Mary.

    Xena viciously grabbed her by the collar, preparing to take her back for further interrogation. However, many policemen suddenly burst in through the door.The secretary followed closely behind, explaining, "Officers, hurry and arrest Xena. She forced her way in."Xena frowned. Assessing her situation, she forced Mary to sit in the boss's chair, a dagger held against her sister's neck. The room was marked with signs of struggle, with blood spattered across the floor.In this situation, she could hardly argue her innocence. But she instinctively explained, "She locked up my parents and wouldn't tell me where they were. I just wanted to question her."The police officers' expressions hardened, their tone brooking no refusal. "Take her away!"Two officers stepped forward and seized her. Xena complied, offering no resistance or excuses, obediently following the police.Another officer glanced at Mary. "Are you alright?"Mary seemed shaken, clutching her neck. After calming herself,
