The old lady said, “If you keep heading north from here, you’ll enter a vast, primitive forest. There’s a spot there called Sacred Land. Many people have gone looking for it, but none has found it so far.”Jay thanked the old lady and walked out of the room Andy was in. He was getting ready to gather Cole and the others so they could set off immediately.However, when Jay walked out of the room, he saw all of them huddling up in a disorderly manner all over the ground. Each of them was looking pale as they helplessly looked up at Jay.“We’ve been poisoned, Cousin.”Cole pointed at the young lady tremblingly and said, “That little lady is harboring evil intentions. There was something wrong with the food she gave us.”Jay shot a malicious gaze at the young girl, asking, “Why did you do this?”The old lady parted the curtain at the doorway and walked out with a sullen face. “Because I asked her to do this.”Jay asked furiously, “But why are you harming us?!”The old lady walked u
Jay walked over to Zayne’s side and kicked him once before saying, “I’ve tolerated you for a long time now. I used to take Angeline’s feelings into account. But now that she’s not by my side, I’ll treat you as I wish.”Zayne was stunned as he shrieked out, “Are you for real?”Jay went over to trample on Cole as well and snarled. “And you! How dare you covet for my wife? I’ll be free of worries once I leave all of you to die here.”Cole’s handsome pupils looked at Jay, filled with a sense of doubt. He knew that there must be a reason for Jay to turn against them so suddenly, but he could not guess why Sir Ares was doing this.After Jay vented his anger, he packed up all of their essential things and left.Zayne cursed at Jay’s back view, “You’re not human, Ares! How can you abandon your comrades?”Cole continued to ponder over it. When Jay kicked him earlier, he shot a meaningful glance at him.What did he mean by that?After Cole realized it, he suddenly echoed Zayne’s words an
Just as Zayne was about to untie them, Cole shouted at him to stop.“Don’t do it! Someone will be coming to our rescue soon.”Zayne suspiciously asked, “Who?”Sure enough, it did not take very long for Sir Ares to come back.He was holding onto a water bottle in his hand as he walked over at a carefree pace, looking happy and content. It did not seem like he was worried about his comrades’ well-being at all.When Zayne saw Jay, he immediately snarled. “Why are you walking at such a slow pace, Sir Ares? Why can’t you walk a little faster? We’re dying here and you’re supposed to be racing against death!”Jay walked over and threw the bottle over to Cole.Cole weakly glared at him, scoffing. “Is this how you care for your patients?! Help me open it.”Jay said, “You should be doing things on your own.”Cole snarled. “Have you given all of your compassion and tenderness to Angeline?”Cole sat up and poured some water for everyone. After drinking, Cole collapsed to the ground again
Angel boldly justified herself, saying, “Mommy said that Daddy got a full score in his college entrance examination. Since you’re Daddy’s child, the generation after him should be continuously evolving, yet why are you not as smart as Daddy?”Baby Robbie patted Angel’s head and said, “Don’t keep looking down on your older brother.”When Jenson noticed the anxiety in Angeline’s eyes, he proceeded to ask her, “Mommy, since you came all the way to the hall to pick us up, perhaps there’s something important you wanted to tell us?”Angeline nodded solemnly.“Mommy originally wanted all of you to take a rest after your papers, but I lost contact with your uncle and daddy four days ago. I’m worried that they’ve run into unexpected circumstances, so I’ve decided to ask you kids to lend them a hand.”The children looked extremely solemn as well and asked, “What should we do?”Angeline explained to them the plan she had long plotted in her mind, “Jens, Robbie, the two of you will lead the
The mountain was quiet, yet Zayne’s anguish wails echoed throughout the valley.His voice ultimately reached the ears of the older woman and the young man who were walking on the narrow road. The old woman looked up at the house that was high up on the mountain and when she noticed the familiar figure, the old woman became despondent.‘Is that Daddy?’Hearing the voice of Uncle Zayne, Baby Zetty was confident that the person outside the courtyard of the house in that high place was the person she had been missing for a long time.It was just that the mountain road was winding and narrow. It would take her a long time to walk over even though it was somewhat close by.Gale noticed that Baby Zetty’s eyes had turned red and could not help but ask curiously, “Do you perhaps know them, Sis Zetty?”Baby Zetty glanced at her hunched and white-haired self, thinking how distressed her father would be to see her in this old shell.Baby Zetty vigilantly reminded Gale, “Remember, Gale. From
Poison Granny sneered and said, “Heh. You’re such an inferior person who only knows how to run your mouth. You’re just a stain in Sir Ares’ good reputation.”When Zayne heard these words, he was so enraged that he wanted to get up once again to argue with Poison Granny.However, his whole body went limp and he fell straight to the ground as soon as he got up.It made Poison Granny ridicule Zayne repeatedly, “If you don’t want to die, just lie there as stiff as a corpse.”Zayne exasperatedly said, “Why on earth should I lie still to wait for my death? I’m getting up no matter—“ However, he fell back to the ground repeatedly no matter how hard he tried to get up.Baby Zetty could not stand looking at this scene anymore and said, “Just lie down. How are you still so stubborn even after getting poisoned—“Zayne had been extremely fearful of Poison Granny after getting poisoned by her. He rolled his eyes at Baby Zetty and scoffed. “Don’t think that I don’t know you’re probably in caho
Gale took the prescription and turned around to leave.Baby Zetty came over to Zayne again and extended her hand to open his eyelids, looking into his eyes.Zayne was somewhat resisting as he asked, “You’re not going to kill me, are you?”Baby Zetty said, “If you speak rudely to me again, I’ll pierce a needle into you and make you mute.”Cole opened his eyes and looked at Baby Zetty gratefully, saying, “Grandma, please pierce the needle into him quickly. Our whole way here, his voice has been buzzing in my ears like a fly. If ears could get calluses, mine would be full of them by now. If you can truly make him go mute, all of us will be eternally grateful to you.”Zayne furiously scoffed, yelling, “Where’s your humanity, Cole Yorks?”Baby Zetty was well aware of how much of a loudmouth her uncle was, but she never thought that even after so much time had passed, this minor issue of his was becoming more and more unbearable.Baby Zetty retook Zayne’s pulse and said in a relaxed m
Poison Granny looked at Baby Zetty in scrutiny and saw that she was old with a hunched back. Her face was filled with wrinkles, and she was seemingly doddering due to old age. Her demeanor did not seem fake at all. However, the way she spoke was extremely clear and sometimes carried a sense of childishness. Even though she was experienced and knowledgeable, she could not be related to any of the famous witch doctors worldwide.Poison Granny could not help but exclaim, “There’s always someone better than you, indeed.”Baby Zetty rolled her eyes at her and said with contempt, “This poison of yours isn’t something magnificent either. Plus, the method of poisoning isn’t very clever. One who has just a little bit of background in medicine would be able to detoxify it.”Baby Zetty was devaluing Poison Granny’s art of poison as utterly worthless, which was detrimental to Poison Granny’s pride. She merely snorted and proceeded to ignore Baby Zetty.Zayne was deeply grateful to Baby Zetty f
“Madam Angeline, do you have any last words?” The man showed Angeline mercy and gave her the chance to breathe in some air. Angeline pondered upon it for a while and said, “In the past, I only wished for my family’s peace and my children’s health. Right now, I hope that my children will be able to achieve all of their dreams. I hope that Jens will be able to revitalize our family’s business. I hope that Baby Zetty’s wish for there to be no more pain and suffering in the world comes true. I hope that Baby Robbie’s wish for there to be no more separations in families comes true as well.” The man was stunned. The gun in his hands tilted slightly. “Madam Angeline, wealthy people like you live luxurious lives that are free of worries. How would you ever understand the suffering of ordinary people like us? You didn’t mean anything you said to me just now, right?” Angeline said, “I’m about to die. Why would I lie to you? Although I’m from a wealthy family, I’m also a mother. I love
Angeline said, “Although Jens is young, Whitty isn’t at a ripe age anymore. Whitty has waited for Jens for so many years. She should get something in return.” Sir Ares remained silent. However, there was still an unpleasant expression on his face.Upon catching sight of the expression on Sir Ares’ face, Whitty immediately said, “Daddy, Mommy, Jens and I aren’t in a rush to get married. Jens has decided to get married after having a stable career.”Sir Ares seemed to calm down. Jenson stood up and told Sir Ares, “Daddy, I’d like to marry Whitty.” Sir Ares cast a sideway glance at him and asked, “What’s the reason behind your decision to do so?” Jenson said, “I love her.” Sir Ares’ lips upturned slightly. Not only did Jens’ personality resemble that of his, but his outlook on love was similar to his as well.Upon recalling how persistent he was while pursuing Angeline when he was young, Sir Ares knew that he could not stop Jenson.The relationship between father and son w
Sir Ares stared at Angeline speechlessly. At this moment, their memorable love flashed across his mind. He had once loved someone so deeply. He could go against his parents for her as well. Sir Ares sighed and said, “You really can’t keep your children by your side once they’re all grown up.” Angeline stared at the dispirited man before her. Her heart hurt for him. She reached out to hold his hand. Sir Ares smiled at her as she warmed up his hands. He said in an understanding tone, “Angeline, you’re still the best.” Angeline smiled and said, “Of course, I’m the best. That’s because I’m the only person who will stay by your side till the very end. Gale is such an existence for Angel, and Finn is such an existence for Baby Zetty as well.” Sir Ares said, “Alright, stop teasing me. I got it.” Yes, love was above anything else in the world. That was the tradition of the Ares family. Sir Ares was madly in love with Angeline. However, when it came to others, he felt that
However, when Angeline found out about Grayson and Andy’s marriage, she insisted on holding a grand wedding for them.Angeline and Sir Ares called Andy before them. Angeline spoke up in a touched voice, “Andy, I’ve always treated you like my biological daughter. Now that you’re getting married, I’ll marry you off just like you’re my daughter.” Angeline handed a set of jewelry, a bank card, and a key to Andy. She said, “Andy, although Baby Zetty is married, we didn’t hold a grand wedding for her. I don’t know how other families marry off their daughters. Since you’re a girl, you’ll feel secure after having your own property. You’ll have your own freedom after having your own car. You’ll take the effort to dress up after having your own jewelry.” Andy cried tearfully, “Thank you, Mommy.”Angeline hugged Andy and patted her back as she said, “Don’t cry. You must come back often to visit in the future.” “Alright.” After Angeline finished speaking, Sir Ares stared and Grayson an
Whitney handed the envelope over to Andy and said, “Miss Laurel asked me to hand this to you.” Andy slowly opened the envelope under the sisters’ curious gazes. A red spider lily specimen fell out of the envelope.Tears filled Andy’s eyes when she saw it.The sisters all burst into tears. Whitney said, “I don’t know what meaning it holds for you, but I guess Laurel wants to convey something to all of you since she wanted me to hand it to you. Have you understood what she wants to tell you?”Andy cried out loud, “This is the blood oath that we made at the military intelligence division. When we swore to be sisters, Sis Daisy mentioned that although our fates were predetermined in this lifetime and we don’t get to decide how long we’ll be able to live, we can wait for the sisters in the afterlife after death. We must wait for everyone to gather before reincarnation. We can then be reincarnated as sisters in our next life.” Whitney was touched by this beautiful oath. She teared
Jenson then ordered the servants to search every nook and cranny of Tourmaline Estate and Imperial Capital. Baby Robbie seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no sign of him anywhere.Sir Ares sighed after hearing the news. Angeline gave up after the long search. She told Jenson, “Don’t look for him. He’s all grown up now. We can’t restrain him anymore. Don’t waste more human and physical resources searching for him. Manage Tourmaline Estate well. You and Whitty will have to take responsibility for this household in the future.” Jenson stared into his mommy’s calm eyes. Although he was curious as to why his mommy, who loved her son more than her own life, could react so calmly to his disappearance, he kept that question in his heart. “Yes, mommy.” After leaving Chateau de Selene, Jenson returned to his room in an upset mood. Whitty walked into his room with a cup of hot tea and placed it in his hands gently. “Jens, you’ve been busy every day lately. You must look af
Baby Robbie nodded sternly. After Angeline’s health recovered a little, Baby Robbie paid her a visit at once. His face no longer gave out a childish air. His handsome face exuded a sharpness that resembled that of his father’s.Angeline knew that Baby Robbie would be filled with guilt for the rest of his life after this incident. She also knew that he would change his habit of fooling around and not thinking before acting. “Mommy, it’s all my fault. If I didn’t blindly believe in her, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to damage Tourmaline Estate,” Baby Robbie said. He was filled with self-guilt. Angeline said, “Baby Robbie, I know what you’re thinking. I’m having the same thoughts right now.” ”Baby Robbie was stunned. He glanced evaluatively at the weak and exhausted expression on his mommy’s face. Somehow, Baby Robbie felt upset on behalf of his mommy. It turned out that he was not the only one who did not have a good eye for people. His mommy was in the same boat as we
Jenson decided to rebuild Tourmaline Estate with the underlying theme of ‘remembrance’. Baby Robbie fell silent after looking through the design plans.“Jens, do you think that I’ve committed a huge sin?” He suddenly voiced out his thoughts. Jenson shook his head and said, “Baby Robbie, you didn’t want any of this to happen. However, you should’ve learned your lesson by now. You can’t be kind to everyone at all times.” Baby Robbie nodded and said, “I didn’t understand the meaning behind these words in the past. I get it now.” Jenson was stunned. After Baby Robbie left Jenson’s place, he paid a visit to Angel’s courtyard. Angel was now around seven years old. She was extremely tall and mentally mature. Therefore, she did not seem like a child at all. “Brother, I heard that you haven’t been in a good mood lately. I wanted to look for you since some time ago. However, look at the state that I’m in. How can I go out?” She waved her sleeves slightly. The furniture within the
Sir Ares stared at Sis Thirteen coldly. His gaze was devoid of the fatherly love that he had always shown her.“I knew that you had a hidden motive when you moved into the Ares family back then. However, I didn’t expect you to be so evil and have such a cruel heart at such a young age. Angeline’s love and adoration toward you didn’t warm your heart at all. To me, you’re not just a traitor. You don’t have a heart at all.” Sis Thirteen stared at Sir Ares in shock. Sir Ares’ scoldings seemed to help her better perceive herself. “You hurt my father. You hurt my daddy. That’s why I steeled my heart and decided to take revenge on the Ares family,” she cried out loud. Sir Ares said in a harsh tone, “Karma exists in the world. Why would I hurt him if he didn’t abduct my children? You don’t have the ability to discern right and wrong. You’re just making excuses for yourself. Do you think you’re being reasonable right now?” Sis Thirteen shook her head in devastation. “I only know that
