"Crippled?!" Kimmy exclaimed in fear. It was such a pity that someone so beautiful was mute.Demi Moore smiled weakly, wanting to explain that she used to speak like everyone else, but... Well, it didn't matter anymore because she was too tired, genuinely exhausted.She felt a slight fetal movement in the palm of her hand, which made her gentle smile. Did this baby understand her sorrow?Kimmy blinked her eyes, staring intently at Tiểu Ace's belly. She hadn't noticed before, but now it was clear that since she entered, Tiểu Ace always had her hand on her belly, occasionally caressing it. Could it be that she was pregnant?The R.HIK Castle rarely heard the sound of crying children because the owner liked silence. So when a servant gave birth, they would be immediately transferred elsewhere. It had been a long time since she had seen a pregnant woman, and she was extremely curious."May I touch it a little?" Kimmy asked eagerly, and Demi Moore raised her head, looking at the curiosity i
"Demi Moore, isn't she in the hospital? What could have happened?""Tom, is something wrong with Demi?" He walked up to Tom Hulce, observing his bloodshot eyes. In recent days, he knew Tom had been staying up all night.But after waiting for half a day, Tom Hulce remained silent, making him increasingly impatient."Tom, is there something you can't tell me?" Thomas Anderson reminded him cautiously. Couldn't he overlook him like this? He felt incredibly embarrassed.Just as he was about to go crazy, Tom Hulce finally raised his head slowly. However, his gaze remained sombre."In the future, don't mention that name before me." Tom Hulce looked straight at Thomas Anderson, each word heavy with a growl. He honestly didn't want to hear or remember that name anymore.Indeed, he wished he could strangle her. He had been so good to her, and how did she treat him in return? For her sake, he had done things he had never dreamed of. Yet she dared to leave him.For that fool, she was willing to g
Kimmy carefully held a cup of hot water and handed it to Demi Moore. Her eyes narrowed into crescents, clearly showing her extreme happiness."Little Ace, drink some water. Otherwise, the baby will get thirsty," Kimmy said. Little Ace was sick, so she had to try to care for both of them. It was a bit challenging, but she didn't mind. She only hoped that the baby would be born safely and healthy.However, Little Ace's illness seemed to be getting worse daily, and she couldn't see a doctor because Little Ace didn't want to. He was afraid that taking medication would harm the fetus."Little Ace, are you really okay?" Kimmy asked anxiously once again.Demi Moore nodded and looked at her, smiling and writing, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Thank you for being so concerned.""No need to thank me. We're fellow countrymen and should help each other in difficult times, right?" Kimmy waved her hand hurriedly. Although they had only been together for a few days, she had already felt close to Little Dem
"Yes, that's right." Youdu recognized her doubt and nodded. "The master taught me how to read lip movements, so feel free to speak, and I will understand everything."The master, it's Ace, isn't it?Youdu placed his hand on Demi Moore's forehead, frowning with concern. No wonder she felt so cold; she had been running a high fever for several days."I'll go get some medicine for you." He immediately stood up, preparing to turn and leave, but Demi Moore held his hand to refuse."No need, I don't need to take medicine. It might harm the baby." Demi Moore shook her head, looking at him silently. She appreciated Youdu's kind intention, but she had no issues, just a mild illness that would disappear in a few days."Don't worry, my medicine will not affect the baby," Youdu reassured her gently, then turned to leave. [...]Demi Moore looked at the medicine bottle in her hand, still hesitating. It wasn't that she didn't trust Youdu, but a mother's instincts made her more sensitive and worried
She hurriedly ran to the phone, picked it up, and quickly dialled a number, but in the end, she didn't dare to make the call. She sat on the sofa, placing her hands on her chest to calm her emotions. Yes, she was just a maid, just a maid, nothing to be afraid of. What she needed to do now was stay calm and quickly devise a plan to deal with Nancy.Suddenly, a sound of a door opening came from behind, causing her to startle, almost screaming in fear."What's wrong?" Warm hands embraced her body, calming her trembling heart, finally giving her a bit of stability."Are you okay? Are you feeling sick?" Arthur touched Mei Grayson's forehead, sensing a thin layer of cold sweat."Fever?" He furrowed his brows slightly, asking with concern."I'm fine, just feeling a little uncomfortable." Mei Grayson took hold of Arthur's warm hand, gently stroking it. A good man like him, how could she let go?"It's really nothing; look at me; I'm perfectly healthy, right?" She weakly smiled, displaying an "
Kimmy nodded with a heavy heart. Though she was deeply resentful towards Madam, there was nothing else she could do. It was best to leave as quickly as possible and hope she would never have to deal with this wicked Madam again. The cold and heartless mistress was no better than the cruel master. It was true that birds of a feather flock together.Mei Grayson stood there, no longer interested in pursuing the matter further. Nancy alone was enough, and now Demi Moore was added to the mix. They were deliberately targeting Little Ace, one after another. How detestable!"Cruel and pitiful, how my cousin treats you so kindly." Mei Grayson still couldn't let go of her grudge against Demi Moore. In her heart, she had become someone who wouldn't hesitate to do any evil deeds."You still don't know the whole story." A cold voice carried by the wind reached Mei Grayson's ears, making her shudder as she turned around, staring intently at the person who had silently approached her from behind."N
"Ace, would you still love me if I wasn't Demi?" Mei Grayson asked nervously, and Arthur heard her question, causing his entire body to stiffen.He tightly embraced Mei Grayson, trying to calm the emotions that were starting to rise.If she wasn't Demi? If she wasn't... He had never even considered that.Truly never.Just when Mei Grayson thought he wouldn't answer her question, Arthur's calm voice came through evenly."If you're not... Then, I will kill you!" His voice was neither high nor low, flat and icy.If she weren't, if she indeed wasn't, then he would kill her.Because no one was allowed to deceive him, including her.Hearing Arthur's answer, Mei Grayson's face suddenly turned pale, and she held onto the man's belt tightly, leaning her head against his chest. It seemed that only by doing so could she avoid feeling overly frightened.There was no turning back; she had no way out anymore.She had bet everything on this game, but unexpectedly, even her life was considered a comm
"She didn't do it," Demi Moore shook her head, silently explaining to Youdu."If it wasn't her, then who?" Youdu turned around, looking at Kimmy, who noticed his suspicious gaze and quickly waved her hands, denying any involvement. It wasn't her, really.Youdu glanced at Kimmy, naturally thinking that it couldn't be her. She was chubby and foolish, and whatever she thought would be written all over her face. If she had really hit someone, it would be strange.Demi Moore slightly pursed her lips but didn't dare speak up. After all, the other person's current identity was..."The future mistress," Nancy coldly laughed, a mocking smirk on her face."That's impossible," Youdu immediately denied, believing his mistress was a kind-hearted girl who couldn't do something so cruel. He was willing to accept the chubby girl hitting the maid, but he couldn't bring himself to think that it was his mistress. Besides, why would his mistress come here and suddenly hit a maid?Demi Moore looked at You
A few days later, he would send her back to Tom Hulce and give a significant gift to the Grayson Corporation that would make them remember forever!...At night, Youdu turned around, wondering how many times. He opened his eyes wide, looking at the empty crib beside him, feeling a deep emptiness in his heart.He couldn't deny that he was sleepless. Though brief, the few days with Lulu here, she had changed everything once she was gone. He missed her laughter, her silly gestures when she wanted to be carried.Sitting up and turning on the bedside lamp, he didn't even know what he wanted to do.It wasn't until the knocking sound, "Knock, knock, knock," reached his ears that he glanced at the clock. It was already two in the morning. Who could it be, coming to find him at this hour? Could it be that annoying Fred again?He got out of bed, his already sombre face growing even darker. Opening the door, before he could see who had arrived, something warm was thrust into his arms.This... wa
However, before he could enjoy his moment, the baby suddenly woke up and looked at him with wide eyes before bursting into loud cries. Fred was taken aback and wondered if he had been too rough with the baby earlier."Shh, don't cry, don't cry!" Fred awkwardly tried to console the baby, but his efforts seemed to have no effect.Demi Moore closed her eyes inside the castle as she sat on an old chair, relishing in the rare moment of tranquillity."Kimmy, how have you been lately?" Since returning, Demi had wanted to see Kimmy again, partly out of nostalgia and concern for the naive girl. But now, it seemed that her worries were unfounded. Kimmy had been promoted to oversee several others, and she seemed more mature and content with her life."Madam, I've been doing well..." Kimmy shyly glanced at her toes, still not accustomed to such distant forms of address."Kimmy, you can continue calling me Demi; it's okay." Demi Moore opened her eyes and smiled at her, reassuring her."I... I will
"You think your plan is so clever, don't you? Get me in bed with Mary Wickes, and it's all over? Well, let me tell you, don't even think about it!" What if he tells Demi? Will he deny it again like he did before? But if Arthur were to show Demi some evidence, it would only prove his despicable nature. Hmph!"She has already seen it." When Tom Hulce was harbouring a glimmer of hope, Arthur coldly extinguished it. Time seemed to stand still for a second, and no one spoke. The widening eyes of Tom Hulce revealed the extent of his panic."Arthur R. HIK!" Tom Hulce shouted madly, "You wretched person, I want to kill you!"For over twenty years, Tom Hulce had never felt such unease and anger grow so intensely. How dare he? How could he let Demi see him in bed with Mary Wickes again? Hasn't she suffered enough? What does he want? Does he like to erase Demi from his world?Tom Hulce lost control and lunged forward, delivering a decisive blow to the left side of Arthur R. HIK's face. A trickle
"Must be because I slept too much," Arthur suddenly burst into laughter, teasing her a little."Perhaps," Demi Moore replied, half-jokingly. This feeling was extraordinary. She wasn't sure anymore, feeling uncomfortable, dry, as if she had talked too much.Has she talked too much? Thinking about it made her laugh bitterly. How could a mute person still be able to speak? Maybe she was dreaming?Leaning her head on Arthur's shoulder, suddenly, she felt a darkness creeping into her heart, a sense of disappointment. It might be an illusion, but a second ago, she truly believed she could speak, kiss him, smile, and say, "Good morning."She wanted to, truly wanted to do that....Arthur sat on the sofa, looking a bit concerned towards the bedroom. Demi Moore was still inside. She had woken up for a while, but ultimately, she was still too tired and couldn't help but lean back for a moment. Youdu said this was a side effect of hypnosis and nothing to worry about. The most important thing to
"Boss, we're being followed," Fred calmly said, not knowing when he had been standing behind Arthur."I know," Arthur nodded slightly. He had noticed this since the first day they moved here. Tom Hulce did not easily give up, but if he could think of it, how could Arthur not?"How is he over there?" Arthur opened his mouth, his voice devoid of emotion."He seems impatient like he's preparing to take action," Fred looked out through his gaze, his lips curling up slightly with a hint of teasing."Welcome," Arthur chuckled coldly. He wasn't afraid of him coming but somewhat worried that he wouldn't. The matter between them would eventually require a confrontation."Master." Amid the tense atmosphere, Youdu suddenly called out to Arthur. He had thought of this method from the beginning but hesitated to speak because he was afraid that Arthur would disagree. But after thinking it over, perhaps there was only this one way."Have you figured it out?" Arthur turned to look at Youdu, his eyebr
In a highly luxurious restaurant, a girl was resting her chin on her hand, looking at the man in front of her with confusion. He was elegantly eating steak, but he was focused on his meal and didn't say a word to her from the beginning. He didn't mention anything about wanting to collaborate with her, so could it be that collaboration here meant just sitting and looking?She continued to stare at him intently, unable to remain silent. This man was truly handsome. A few days ago, when she received his phone call, she had hoped he had intentions towards her. But now it seemed that things were not as she had imagined."If you don't eat, you won't have the energy to work," he said.The man raised his head, calmly looking at her."Mr. Hulce, what exactly did you call me here for?" The girl occasionally turned her head to look around, feeling uncomfortable sitting there. This man was overly reserved. If it wasn't about having a romantic interest in her, then it might not be good that he sou
Arthur took a deep breath, about to say something, when he saw Demi Moore coming out of the kitchen."Are you tired? You don't need to do anything later. I'll have someone bring the food." Arthur stared at Demi Moore's slightly flushed face, hesitating between speaking and exchanging a disdainful glance with someone.Demi Moore smiled and shook her head. She was feeling much better now. If she continued lying in bed without doing anything, she felt like she would rust away. Besides, looking at their expressions, it was clear that they were starving but still trying to act tough. It was really...After placing two dishes on the table, Demi Moore returned to the kitchen to get a few more items."Fred, Youdu, can you please not eat like hungry demons?" Arthur looked at the almost empty plate he had just brought out, his blue veins popping up. Fortunately, he had quickly set aside some for Demi. Otherwise... Hmph, looking at the two voraciously eating opposite him made him feel irritated
"You can kick the blanket freely; it's new and won't tear." Suddenly, a humorous voice came from behind, startling Demi Moore as she turned around, not expecting it to be Youdu."How are you feeling now? Are you okay?" Youdu sat down on the chair next to the bed, glancing briefly at Demi Moore's teary eyes, feeling a sigh escape his lips. This girl had just cried; why did she have to torment herself like this?"It's somewhat better than before." Demi Moore nodded, unconsciously loosening her grip. She had nothing to hide in front of this young man because he had greatly helped her and her mother. Apart from Kimmy, Youdu was the person she trusted the most."Do you want to sit up and talk to me for a while?" After a long silence, Youdu finally decided to take the initiative. Ms. Moore was kind-hearted, and he believed he knew how to soften her heart. He wouldn't resort to this last resort if there were still any other options left.Demi Moore glanced at him with a hint of thought, seem
"Ace?" Demi Moore hesitated, slightly squinting her eyes, feeling that something was still inaccurate. He was still wearing the same clothes, unchanged, and the house was warm and filled with familiar items, but her heart felt inexplicably empty.Something was missing, something that seemed very important to her."Yes, it's me, your Ace." Arthur hugged Demi Moore tightly, smiling without end.Demi Moore slowly reached out and embraced him around the neck, just like before. The warmth from his body made her feel safe, and she even caught a faint scent of mint. However, when his hand accidentally touched her belly, she realized it was flat.Flat?With a gasp, her heart felt like it was being violently torn apart. Memories flooded back, causing her unbearable pain. It turned out that everything wasn't a dream; her child was gone entirely."A..." She screamed silently, pushing the man in front of her away. How could she forget? Whether it was unintentional or deliberate, she couldn't forg
