"Hmph, so arrogant! Don't come crying to me later!"Brice just wouldn't give up. "You really won't go back to the Davison Group, I'll hire you back to manage the company, they wouldn't dare to do anything!"Terry glanced at him and said, "You can give up on this idea. I have been tired for the past seven or eight years, and now that I have had a few days off, I don't want to be busy anymore."Brice burst into laughter and said, "You little rascal! Ms. Hall should really see your mischievous appearance!"Terry smiled and said, "She had seen it before."It was cold, Terry received the message. "You should go back, otherwise you will catch a cold.""I know, I know! I have to go back and teach that rascal Bennett a lesson, pretending to be innocent and coming to you!"Brice waved his hand and turned around, shaking as he walked back.Wow, the wind was really cold!Terry watched Brice's back and smirked, planning to go back later.To avoid being seen walking together with Brice, someone wo
Lucas' car was speeding recklessly all the way, and Hari was chasing behind in fear. Hari dialed the phone more than ten times, and finally Lucas answered."Lucas, are you crazy?"However, Lucas on the other end of the phone answered evasively, "Doesn't Terry pretend to be pitiful? I can be even more pitiful than him!"As soon as the words fell, Hari heard a loud "bang" sound.Soon, Hari saw Lucas' car crash directly into the flower bed on the road.The phone was still connected, and Lucas' voice came through intermittently. "I, the ring in my pocket, help me give it to Jessica."Hari was stunned for a second, and then he realized, "Damn!"He cursed, quickly got out of the car and ran over to make a call to 120.Lucas was freaking crazy!Hari hit 120 times and then checked Lucas. He reached out his hand below the nose to feel for breath and saw that there was still air. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.The car performed well. Although Lucas was crazy, he didn't really want t
Lost in thought, the elevator door "dinged" and opened in response.There were people standing outside the door. Jessica instantly regained her composure and quickly withdrew her hand, nonchalantly exiting the elevator.Terry released his hand that was resting on her waist and reached out to touch her hand that she had just lifted to cover him.I intentionally touched her thumb and then pressed it slowly towards the palm.Jessica shrank back a little, and he immediately clenched his hand, his thumb rubbing against the back of her hand, tickling her a bit.Jessica couldn't take it anymore, "Stop it, Terry."Terry smiled and, being obedient, actually gave a thumbs up, and earnestly held her hand, saying, "Okay."Jessica looked up and glanced at him. Her gaze happened to meet his peach blossom eyes. She couldn't help but curve her lips and smile, saying, "You weren't like this before.""You were not my girlfriend before."Jessica heard what he said and always felt like there was somethin
The two of them returned to the apartment before nine o'clock. Jessica changed her shoes and took the hot water Terry handed to her, sitting on the sofa and sipping it slowly.Terry was cooking black sugar ginger in the kitchen, and within two minutes, the entire house was filled with the aroma of black sugar ginger.The phone screen lit up for a moment, and it was a message from Hannah. "I heard that Lucas had an accident."Jessica raised an eyebrow, swiped the screen, and replied directly, "It's none of my business."Hannah sent a few "beautiful" messages in a row and then didn't send any more messages.Jessica had just put down her phone when Terry came out with a cup of black sugar ginger tea.The just-cooked ginger black sugar water had a strong flavor of both black sugar and ginger.Jessica glanced at the dark brown ginger water, "Actually, it's best to drink it three days before the menstrual period."Terry looked at her and coaxed her like a child, "Good baby, drink the candy
Jessica didn't use much force, and Terry didn't feel any pain either. He only felt his neck being tickled by the hair that Jessica brushed past.Jessica sucked hard for a while, and when she let go, she immediately regretted it. The red mark on Terry's neck, even in such dim light, she saw it at first glance.Terry raised his hand and touched it, but couldn't feel anything. He only felt the residual warmth from Jessica's presence a moment ago. He turned his head slightly and looked at her with a half-smile, "Still biting?"Jessica couldn't beat him and snorted, "Don't be too much, Terry."It was still early, a little after seven o'clock, not even a quarter past seven.Terry was already in high spirits. She rubbed her head and sat up from the bed, saying, "You can sleep a little longer, I'll go make breakfast."Jessica reached out and grabbed his hem, saying, "Breakfast is downstairs."The implicit meaning is that he didn't need to do it.Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't mak
Jessica couldn't naturally guess it. She lowered her head and took another bite of ravioli into her mouth. After finishing it, she hummed, "Never mind if you don't want to say."She didn't believe that he could endure it.Terry didn't speak, he just looked at her, smiling without saying a word.He really didn't say.Jessica knew he was doing it on purpose, but she didn't ask anymore. She wanted to see who could hold their breath longer.However, Jessica couldn't hold back because she not only ate ravioli that she hadn't eaten for many years and liked, but also found a horseshoe in the ravioli.Maybe not all the dumplings had horse chestnut filling, the two ravioli she ate earlier didn't have any.Jessica liked to eat ravioli, and her favorite was the one with added horse chestnuts to enhance the freshness and reduce greasiness.Hannah, who has known Jessica for many years, had no idea about this particular preference of hers.Hannah only knew that she liked to eat ravioli, but she did
After hanging up the phone, Jessica instinctively looked at Terry beside her and said, "The call was from Hari."She spoke and paused for a moment, "He said Lucas had a car accident last night and asked me to visit him today.""Do you want to go?"Terry looked at her, with a smile on his face as always, and his gaze towards her peach blossom eyes was also filled with tenderness. However, Jessica still felt that something was different.His words were also flat, sounding like asking her if she was hungry.Jessica, however, knew that Terry was actually very stingy. She put her phone behind her and moved over, reaching out to hug his neck, placing herself in his arms. "Are you jealous again?"Terry reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, shifting slightly to adjust his posture and pull her into his embrace. "Is it not allowed?"He lowered his head and looked at her, admitting quite generously.Jessica smiled and said, "Sure, of course."She spoke, paused for a moment, and looke
After hanging up the phone, Jessica remained silent for a while. After a moment, she finally turned to Terry beside her and said, "Would you accompany me to the hospital?"She always thought that she had made herself clear to Lucas, and she didn't think that Lucas was the type of person who would pester her.However, reality left Jessica speechless.It was a great weekend, but Hari ruined Jessica's mood with two consecutive phone calls.Terry's hand on her waist moved slightly, and she forcefully pulled the person back, "Do you really want me to accompany you?"Jessica glanced at him and chuckled lightly, "Do you really feel at ease letting your girlfriend meet her ex-husband alone?"Terry seemed to have thought about it seriously. After a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I really can't trust it."Jessica patted the hand that had fallen on her and motioned for him to let go, saying, "I'm going to change my clothes."Terry let go and sat on the sofa, looking at her meaningfull
"Is it me? Have you got any news?""I was in Phoenix and had just received a package from Luna. Inside, there was a ring, Luna's letter, and... an urn."Terry's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "urn". "Where are you?" he asked."Just left Finger Cliff.""I was watching the surveillance footage at the police station."Upon hearing his words, Lucas on the other end of the phone immediately said, "I'm coming over."Terry responded with a sound, hung up the phone, and raised his hand to vigorously wipe his face.He was not in the mood to watch the surveillance footage anymore. He had been staring at it for over seven hours since around four o'clock in the morning, and his eyes were already hurting.However, with so many vehicles, he did not find any car with abnormalities."Rodney."Terry stood up and looked at Rodney.Seeing that he finally agreed to take a break, Rodney breathed a sigh of relief a
That evening was clearly painful and unbearable.When Terry woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night.The ward was very quiet. As soon as he opened his eyes, he instinctively looked for Jessica.However, everything around him was unfamiliar, without Jessica, only he himself.He still had an IV drip in his hand, but Terry directly pulled out the needle. Just as he walked out of the ward, he happened to see Rodney walking towards him from the direction of the elevator.Terry ran over directly and asked, "How is Jessica doing, Rodney?"Rodney glanced at Terry, feeling a bit reluctant. "Mr. Davison, I'm sorry, but up until now, we haven't received any news about Ms. Hall."Upon hearing Rodney's words, Terry trembled slightly and asked, "Has Lucas contacted me?""Mr. Thomas called shortly after you had just passed out, and he was also inquiring about Ms. Hall's condition."There was no news from e
When Luna woke up, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.She was hanging on the cliff for nearly three hours. Although she didn't suffer much injury, she had a fever because of fear and the cold sea breeze blowing on the cliff for more than three hours at night. When she was taken to the hospital, her temperature had risen to forty degrees. It wasn't until after eleven o'clock at night that the fever finally subsided.Plus, the things she has experienced in the past few days have been too horrifying. She has been living in fear for so long that her mental state is almost on the verge of collapse. After waking up, she completely lost control of her emotions and screamed while holding her head.Upon hearing Olivia's cry, Vincent quickly instructed the person next to him to go in and comfort Olivia, then turned around and ran downstairs to the hospital to find Lucas.When he found Lucas, Lucas was sitting in the smoking area, with a trash can right
The man in the passenger seat frowned when he saw the situation and said, "Hasn't he died?"He said as he bent down and checked Olivia's breath, feeling a faint pulse in his hand. The man breathed a sigh of relief, "She's not dead."Saying that, he grabbed Olivia's hand, hoisted her up, and threw her back into the car. "Let's go, to Wind Cliff!"The van started up again, and Olivia inside had already fainted.When Olivia woke up again, she found herself dropped down a cliff, with a vast sea below.She screamed loudly in fright, and the two men on the cliff heard her scream, furrowing their brows, but no one paid attention to her.Carson City was gradually getting dark at seven o'clock when Lucas arrived at Wind Cliff, precisely at half past seven.The sky had already turned completely dark, and the sea water surged up, with the water below churning fiercely.Lucas did not see Olivia, and there was no one on the cliff.Ho
Around six in the evening, Rodney brought a boxed meal and handed it to Terry. "Mr. Davison, I understand your mood, but if you can't take care of your own body, how can you save Ms. Hall?"Terry took the boxed meal and said, "Thank you."He just didn't have much appetite and mechanically stuffed food into his mouth.The sunset at Finger Cliff was beautiful, but none of the people on the mountaintop were in the mood to appreciate it at that moment, after all, a young life was at stake.Rodney looked at Terry stuffing rice into his mouth, sighed slightly, and handed him a bottle of mineral water.This time, Terry didn't refuse. He finished the boxed lunch while drinking mineral water.At 7 o'clock in the evening, night fell, but everything around remained the same, except that the wind had become a bit colder than during the day.Terry looked at the cigarette in Rodney's hand for a moment, then he spoke up, "Rodney, can you give me a c
Jerry heard Terry's words and instinctively looked up at him.When Jerry's gaze met those peach blossom eyes, his heart felt a bit uncomfortable. "Mr. Davison, Ms. Hall is so smart, she must be able to handle it.""Is that so?"Terry lowered his head and raised his hand to cover the watch on his left hand.This is a customized couple watch made by Jessica, and there are only two of them in the world, making them unique.But as he watched the time pass by minute by minute on the watch, there was no joy in his heart. He had not seen her or heard her voice for twenty-five consecutive hours.This feeling was more painful than when he first found out that she was going to marry Lucas.He was really scared.Jerry had followed Terry for so many years and had never seen Terry like this before. Now, looking at him, Jerry also felt uneasy inside.But now Jessica has not been found yet, everything is still unknown. If they try a li
Running during the day is much better than running at night, at least you can see the road clearly.But inside this mountain, everywhere was trees and waist-high weeds, there was simply no path for Jessica to run.Jessica didn't have much strength left; she only knew that she couldn't be caught up.But she could still hear the woman's screaming voice, knowing without a doubt that she hadn't run far.The woman was probably going to call the man. It was all grass everywhere, where did she run to, they would find her if they were a bit smarter.Jessica stopped and leaned against a tree, catching her breath while analyzing the terrain.Looking around, she couldn't see any houses, so she couldn't ask for help.Jessica hesitated whether to run towards the foot of the mountain or up the mountain.She didn't have much time to hesitate anymore, as the man's angry roar and the woman's curses behind her were reminding her that they were a
The driver brother talked a lot. Jessica didn't know whether to believe his nonsense or not, but she was already exhausted.Fortunately, they chatted for more than ten minutes, and the taxi driver also noticed that Jessica was very tired. He handed her a bottle of mineral water and told her to take a nap. "I just finished delivering the goods and need to go home to pick up new ones. Don't mind, take a rest for a while. We will arrive at my house in ten minutes."Jessica took the mineral water and unscrewed it, then drank more than half of it directly.The elder brother driver stopped talking, and she also remained silent, turning her head to look out of the car window. She almost fell asleep several times, but she managed to hold on.The driver did not deceive him, his house was indeed just nearby. The small truck drove into a village, and Jessica got out of the car with him."Have some breakfast first. The police station is five kilometers ahead.
Neither of the two men expected that Jessica would suddenly escape, after all, her hands and feet were tied with ropes.The two of them were chatting just now. Although they occasionally glanced at Jessica, they found that when Jessica disappeared, she had already run seven or eight meters away.Two men were in the car and they really thought Jessica had diarrhea. They felt a bit disgusted, so they closed the car door. However, they realized that she had run away when they opened the door, causing a delay of one or two seconds. By the time the two men got out of the car, Jessica had already run up the hill.Late at night, in the quietness, the outskirts of the area within ten miles seemed deserted as if there were no households around. Two men's angry shouts were closely chasing from behind.Jessica was wearing high heels on her feet, and she was not running comfortably. However, the mountain road was overgrown with weeds, and if she took off her shoes, s
