Alanna didn't really understand what Hades meant by that. Then again, she didn't really want to wear the ring.

She could tell that it was an incredibly expensive ring. If she were to damage or lose it, she'd be filled with grief.

Soon, Hades and Alanna returned to Jagersville.

"Are you going home?"

Alanna shook her head. "I want to visit my mom at the hospital."

Once Tara's condition began to stabilize, she was immediately transferred out of the ICU ward.

Alanna had been traveling between cities recently, so she didn't get to take care of Tara. Now that she had more time on her hands, she wished to spend more time with Tara.

Hades nodded in response. He began driving toward the hospital right away.

Once they reached the hospital, Alanna glanced at him.

"You should go to the ward with me."

Hades paused momentarily. Even though he did have plans on following Alanna into Tara's ward, he understood very well why she specifically told him to go with her.

She wanted him to visit T

    Alanna frowned at Hades, who just stood at the side with an impassive look."Michel is a real bastard for pulling such a shitty stunt. He deserves to be beaten up."Chelsey shot him a look. "It's rare for a scumbag to see reason."Once the elevator doors slid open, she made a beeline for Mark's office right away.Alanna was worried that Chelsey might act brashly, so she quickly stopped her. "Chelsey, remember to use your words, not violence. Okay?"As she spoke, she tried to retrieve the sharp scalpel from Chelsey's hand.But Hades grabbed her hand comfortingly. "Mark's there. Everything will be fine."Alanna shook his hand away before following Chelsey into the office.Michel happened to be sitting in Mark's office leisurely at that time.Mark stared at him. "Lately you haven't been dropping by the hospital that frequently. Are you no longer interested in those beautiful doctors? Or is it because you're sexually incompetent nowadays?"Michel huffed in response. "Well, I've b

    Hades and Alanna stayed in the hospital till nightfall.Upon exiting the hospital, they spotted Michel standing on the sidewalk while smoking. He looked quite sullen and dejected."What happened? Did Dr. Soltz hit you again?" Hades asked mockingly.Michel just clicked his tongue, albeit dejectedly. "Alanna, is it possible that your friend has never met a guy before?"Alanna was slightly displeased. "What's with that question, Michel?"Michel rubbed his nose. "That's not what I meant. It's just that… How is it possible for her to stop in her tracks the moment she sees Anton?"He had left with Chelsey this afternoon just so he could witness her dealing with the resignation paperwork. What he didn't expect was that they'd bump into Anton at Lovewood Hospital.To make things worse, Anton advised Chelsey to stay in her current job. He even added, "I just saw an approval stamp on your application to pursue further studies. Are you not going to do that anymore?"Chelsey glared at Mich

    Hades' muscular chest and toned abs were extremely sexy as always.Even though Alanna had slept with him countless times in the past, her heart would still flutter because of him.She made eye contact with him briefly before pulling him into a kiss. As a result, Hades lost control of his desires immediately.They made love till it was past midnight.…In the end, Alanna still attended Cyrus' birthday banquet. That was because Cyrus had dispatched his subordinate over to Hades' apartment, stating that she was cordially invited to attend the banquet.Even though Hades wore a stormy expression, he still nodded in the end.Since Cyrus insisted on bringing up his relationship with Alanna, he didn't mind putting an end to it at the banquet.Of course, Hades was still the one picking out Alanna's gown for her. It was a strapless gown with two open holes near the hip bones. While the gown might seem simplistic at first glance, the touch of sexiness added a special charm to it.Hades f

    The moment Cyrus walked out, he pinned his gaze on Alanna right away. Just one look was enough for her to pick up on his displeasure.This was considered her first official meeting with Cyrus.Cyrus glanced at Alanna for a split second before looking away.Alanna just looked down at her feet while chortling. "I can tell that your grandfather really dislikes me."Hades gripped her hand. "My love for you is enough."She pursed her lips wordlessly.The atmosphere in the banquet hall became even more awkward.Holly said softly, "Hades…"Hades pretended as though he had not seen her as he led Alanna to the side.Cyrus' expression darkened instantly. "Hades Florentine, come here this instant!"Hades chuckled out loud. "Oh? Isn't it enough for one person to stay by your side, Grandpa?"Cyrus' expression faltered even more. Then again, many guests had already attended a banquet that was meant for him. There was no way he'd get into a fight with Hades right now.But he must teach Al

    Holly nodded with tears shimmering in her eyes.Tonight's incident was more humiliating to her compared to the humiliation Alanna had suffered.Holly gnashed her teeth together out of fury. Yet, she could only put up a gracious façade.Meanwhile, Yves couldn't help but frown.Had Cyrus gone insane?As for Joana, she had watched the drama unfold before her eyes impassively from a distance away. A moment later, she turned to leave.Veronica remained glued to her side the whole time. "Aunt Joana, just look at how outrageous Hades is acting nowadays! He keeps talking back to Grandpa regardless of the situation!"There was a gentle smile playing on Joana's lips. "He didn't let the woman he loves suffer from any form of aggrievement. That's what my son should be like."Veronica just pouted. "But I don't like that Alanna woman at all! She might have a pretty face, but she doesn't match up to Holly in any other aspects! She doesn't have a rich background, much less an influential one!

    Alanna felt like she was in a trance as she stared at the ring on her ring finger. She didn't know if agreeing to Hades' proposal was the right decision.There were issues between them that were yet to be resolved, especially the Florentines' perception of her. What happened tonight was a clear indication of that.There was also Melanie.But when Hades asked her repeatedly if she was willing to marry him, she couldn't bring herself to reject him.Hades came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. When he saw Alanna staring at the ring, he laughed.Walking over, he hugged her. "Do you like it?"Alanna smiled and nodded. Hades gently bit her finger. "But why do you look so unhappy?" he asked. "Are you regretting it already?"Alanna looked at him. "Hades, I'm now giving myself entirely to you. Please don't abandon me again."Hades gazed deeply at her. After a long pause, he said, "Ally, no matter what happens in the future, I won't abandon you."Alanna giggled and nodd

    Alexander was rendered speechless.Cyrus' lips curved into a smile. "But then, of course, that is another story. It's late now, Alexander. You should go back and rest."Despite feeling indignant, Alexander didn't say anything else.After he left, Cyrus abruptly picked up a glass and hurled it across the room. There was a loud smash. Frightened, the household staff in the room stifled their breaths.Cyrus clutched his cane tightly as the menacing look in his eyes became even more intense. "Get that bastard back here!"Yves was silent for a moment. Then, he asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with Alanna anyway?""Shut up! As the head of the Florentine family, how can he simply marry a random woman? Do you think just anyone can be a part of our family?"Yves' lips curled. Turning around, he called Hades.Alanna was already asleep when Hades finished showering. He glanced at his phone which was ringing incessantly. He picked it up and headed out.Yves said, "Hades, Grandpa flew off the

    Hades froze. Alanna, who was helping herself to the food, paused abruptly, too.Seeing how loving they were, Margaret couldn't help but break into a smile. Her gaze fell on Alanna's finger, and she winked at Alanna.Alanna forced a smile. Breaking free from Hades, she went to Margaret and took the bowl she held from her. "Margaret, I'm suddenly craving pickles. Please serve me some."Margaret smiled as she acknowledged her instructions.Hades listened to Yves in silence. "Melanie had been calling you, but her calls didn't go through. She's now throwing a tantrum, saying that her only wish is for Tucker to be released."Hades glanced at Alanna. In a lowered tone, he said, "Let her be. Don't mind her."Then, he ended the call. Walking over to Alanna, he hugged her again. "Does your stomach still hurt?""I'm fine now," Alanna replied as she set the table.Hades held her hand. "I heard you're craving pickles. You've never liked anything sour or spicy."Alanna glanced at him. "Perh

    He casually picked it up and glanced at it, his eyes filled with displeasure. "Who is this pretty boy?"Alanna looked at the snow outside."Can't you tell? A handsome guy."Hades frowned. "Is he more handsome than me?"Alanna couldn't be bothered to answer him.Hades lowered his eyes and held her waist. "Ms. Jacinto, are you feeling needy?"Alanna furrowed her brows. "Hades, can you be serious?"But Hades shamelessly replied, "If you have any needs, just give me a call. I'll be at your service anytime and anywhere."Alanna glared at him. "Hades, have some dignity."Hades chuckled. "Ms. Jacinto, are you doubting my abilities?"Alanna kicked his leg without hesitation.Hades laughed. "Feeling better now?"Alanna paused before nodding slightly. "Thank you.""Silly girl. Why are you thanking me?" Alanna smiled and got back to her work. She glanced at the man on the other side, who was busy replying to emails on his phone."If you're busy, you don't have to come over here on

    Alanna was surprised. She then looked up at the man before her.She had a guarded expression.The man chuckled and handed her another business card. "I'm Mason Lowe and a classmate of Grayson's. I've heard a bit about you from him. I happened to have a business meeting recently that required translation. Would you be interested in taking up the job?"Alanna remained wary."Mr. Lowe, since you're Grayson's classmate, it would be more convenient to talk to him. I have something to attend to today, so I'll take my leave."With that, she pulled Chelsey and headed out. After their figures disappeared, Mason chuckled."She's quite guarded."He muttered to himself before lighting a cigarette. Just then, his phone rang. A woman's voice came from the other end."Didn't I ask you to approach Alanna? Why haven't you made any progress after such a long time?"Mason took a drag of his cigarette."Do you think it's easy to get close to Alanna? She's always surrounded by bodyguards. I o

    Chelsey didn't know how to comfort Alanna."Ally, you need to move on."Alanna nodded without saying much. There was nothing else she could do.While the doctor examined Chelsey's wound and prescribed her medication, a commotion arose outside.Michel and the dog's owner had followed them to the clinic."Chelsey!"As soon as Michel entered the clinic, he called out.Chelsey gave him a sidelong glance. "What are you doing here?"Michel chuckled. "I came to check on you after hearing you got bitten."Chelsey scoffed. "What for? I got bitten by a dog, not you."Michel clicked his tongue. "Even if we were to bite each other, you would be the one who bit me."Chelsey aimed a kick at him. But before she could reach him, someone shouted, "Michel!"Chelsey immediately retracted her foot and glared at Michel. "Get out of the way. Stop being an eyesore."Michel chuckled. "Chelsey, are you reluctant to kick me?"Without hesitation, Chelsey aimed another kick at him. This time, she hi

    Justin entered the room just in time to hear Alanna's questionHe paused briefly before taking a deep breath and walking up to her."Ms. Jacinto."Alanna turned around and saw Justin coming in with a stack of forms.Her lips twitched. But before she could speak, Justin beat her to it."Ms. Jacinto, what brings you here?" His demeanor was natural, showing no signs of evasion.Alanna pursed her lips and smiled slightly. "I'm here accompanying Chelsey for her shot."With that, she glanced back at the little girl."Is this your daughter?"Justin nodded, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at the girl."Yes, she's my daughter."Alanna's fingers twitched. "May I hold her?"Almost instinctively, the nanny holding the girl took a step back.Alanna's hands froze. She said, "Sorry."Justin's brow furrowed instantly.He glanced at the nanny before explaining softly to Alanna."Aashika was born prematurely and has a very weak immune system. We always disinfect before holdin

    After leaving the detention center, Alanna seemed lost in thought.Although Tucker hadn't revealed much, she couldn't shake off her suspicions about Edmund."Do you think it could be Edmund?" Hades remained silent."The key question now is, if it's Edmund, why would he harm your mother?"Alanna lowered her gaze.Hades was right. She wondered why.Since learning that Tara was being targeted, she had thought of countless possibilities. Who could be behind the threats, and why would anyone want to harm such a fragile woman?But she still had no answers.Hades felt a pang of heartache."We'll find out eventually. Don't worry, if it's him, he'll show his true colors sooner or later."Alanna looked out the window and responded in a hum.Hades looked at her and gently caressed her cheek."Ally, don't feel sad. It hurts me."Alanna brushed his hand away. "Stop touching me all the time."Hades' mouth twitched."I've already asked Margaret to make preparations for the New Year.

    Alanna glanced at him and brushed off his hand.Hades' eyes twinkled with amusement."Is it okay to spend the New Year's Eve together?"Alanna turned her head and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall.It was already mid-December.The New Year was approaching.Their baby was already three months old.If nothing had gone wrong, their New Year's Eve would have been filled with joy.Alanna withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and straightened her clothes.Hades saw the glimmer of moisture in her eyes when she lowered her head.His heart ached, and he quickly hurried over to hug her."Everything will be fine."Alanna fought back her tears and nodded before pushing him away.Hades looked at her determined expression with a sense of helplessness."Let's go see Tucker. Maybe we can get some information about your mother."Alanna nodded and followed him out.After the two left, Chelsey rolled her eyes in the room."What a world! I have to see them being all lovey-dovey ri

    In Northlight Group at Brunstein City, Edmund listened as his assistant reported everything to him."You mean, Olivia has been investigating Tara recently?"The assistant nodded. "Yes, and she's been very thorough."Edmund's pen snapped in his hand."Besides that, did she find out anything else?""She already found out about Tara's death."Edmund's face turned grim. "Got it."After speaking, he paused briefly. "Prepare something for me, and also, invite Mrs. Campbell to have lunch with me at the company."Olivia arrived at Northlight Group before noon.Before she could enter the office, she heard Edmund making a phone call."Mr. Florentine, I can help stabilize the stock price of Florentine Group with Northlight, but I hope you won't vent your anger on Alanna. Yes, she's important to me. You could say, even more important than Hudson."Olivia's steps abruptly halted. The smile on her face gradually disappeared.It wasn't until Edmund's secretary called out to her that Olivi

    Alanna's grip on her phone tightened slightly."Hades, are you... really okay?"Hades chuckled. "I'm just trying to get some sympathy from you. Is it working?"Alanna pursed her lips and remained silent.Hades chuckled. "Go to bed early."After a pause, he added, "Also, try not to take sleeping pills.""Where are you?"Alanna suddenly asked.Hades was stunned.He glanced at the villa in the distance. "I'm taking a walk outside.""Taking a walk in the dead of winter?"Hades chuckled. "Ms. Jacinto, are you showing concern for me?"Alanna scoffed. "Go ahead and enjoy your walk."Hades quickly responded, "I'm outside handling some business. I just finished and suddenly missed you. So I wanted to call you."Alanna pursed her lips."Hades, we're partners now. From now on, don't hide anything from me."Hades' voice softened."Alright, I won't hide anything from you."Alanna didn't say much and hung up the phone directly.She silently looked at the sleeping pills on the beds

    Afterward, he sneered, extinguished his cigarette, and drove away.Just as he left the residential area, a car suddenly came speeding towards him.Hades jerked the steering wheel.But the car behind him turned around and came back in his direction.Hades narrowed his eyes and stepped on the gas pedal, rushing forward.However, he didn't intend to shake off the car this time.Instead, he maintained a distance that allowed him to keep sight of the car. It was neither too close nor too far. He ensured that the car couldn't catch up with him and he wouldn't lose sight of it.The scenery outside became increasingly desolate.At some point, they were already on the outskirts.Surprisingly, Hades lit a cigarette at this moment.Then, he sent a location to Yves."Come handle the accident."Hades' car suddenly went uphill before rushing down a steep slope.The person in the car behind widened their eyes.Below the steep slope was a wall!They slammed on the brakes.
