She was the eldest daughter of the family that owned the Hattelo group. Her parents were alive and her brother was powerful. If this was the case, why was she here? Why didn't anyone take care of her since she was unconscious for such a long time? Abbie looked at Leonard blankly. "So I have a family, right? Why didn't they come to visit me? Why did they abandon me?" "Be patient, and I'll tell you the reason slowly!" Leonard took out his phone and opened it. A photo of Donald, Helen, and Richard appeared on the screen. He pointed at the photos and introduced them to Abbie one after another. "They are your parents, and this is your brother." Abbie's eyes lingered on the photograph for quite some while. The person in the photo was her beloved family. It was said that blood is thicker than water, but she couldn't remember anything at all. Then Leonard showed Abbie the photo of the Clark family. When she saw Richard hold her shoulder and look at her affectionat
In the Gurney family's winery in the eastern countryside, Evelyn, who had been chased away from B City by Francis, was sitting on the balcony as she basked in the sun sulkily. It had been more than 20 days since she was chased away. At first, she had been making a fuss all day when she was first driven away. She would throw things to vent her anger if she wasn't scolding the maids. In particular, when she saw the pictures of her ugly self go viral on the Internet, she wished she could kill everyone. She felt that everyone in the world was mocking her and laughing at her behind her back. For a while, she shut herself in the room and refused to see anyone. As time went by, the embarrassment and humiliation waned slowly. She regained the courage to go out and meet others. However, her activities were still restricted to the Gurney family's territory. She would go to the Gurney family's beauty salon for beauty sessions, their hot spring hotel to enjoy the hot
Francis called Evelyn angrily amidst the conversation. "Why would you scold Azalea?" "Grandpa, why did you bring that bitch, Azalea, back home? Who does she think she is? Is she worthy enough to live in our home?" Evelyn asked furiously while brimming with anger. "I will decide if she is worthy enough to stay in our house. What right do you have to scold her? Let me remind you, it's your fault that Azalea ends up like this. You don't even reflect on yourself or apologize for what you did. How can you have the nerve to scold her?" "She was the one who brought it upon herself by rushing out. What does it have to do with me? Someone like her can be paid off with just a little money. Is it really necessary to bring her home?" Evelyn did not feel that she was in the wrong. Francis was so angry that his chest almost blew up in anger. He would not have taken Azalea home if she had nothing to do with him. However, she was his illegitimate daughter. How could he st
In the hospital, Abbie was leaning against the head of the bed as she held the mobile phone that Leonard gave her. Her gaze was fixated on the screen. It had been a week since she regained consciousness. During the past week, she had been sleeping most of the time due to her health. She only stayed awake for a short while during the day. However, she would always use the phone that Leonard had given her to search for news in this short period of time. The news she searched for were about her family, herself, Michael, and Azalea. She still couldn't remember anything, but she would feel a pang of sadness when she saw Michael's photo. She would feel at ease instead when she saw the photos of Richard and her parents. Meanwhile, she would experience a strong hatred when she saw the photo of Azalea. Even though she couldn't remember anything, her feelings were enough to guide everything. Together with the news and gossip that she read on the Internet, she was able to
Abbie was pushed into the examination room by a nurse. Before the operation, the doctor would need to conduct a comprehensive physical examination. Leonard stood in the corridor with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. It was prohibited to smoke in the hospital, so he could only put a cigarette in his mouth to deal with his addiction. When Leonard's assistant, who followed him to the hospital, saw his furrowed brows and grim face, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Floyd, why are you unhappy?" "Unhappy, you say? Do I look upset?" "Yes, you have a deep frown. You look troubled. Are you thinking about Miss Clark?" "You can say so." Leonard nodded. "Will she not regret getting rid of the baby?" "No woman in this world can accept what Michael did. I don't think Miss Clark will regret his decision, or will she?" The assistant was unsure as well. "You can't be sure too, can you? A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. If..." Leonard bit his c
In the Clark family, Anna yawned and went downstairs. She saw Helen wipe her tears as she sat on the sofa in the living room. She was shocked, so she walked to Helen quickly. "Helen, what's the matter? Don't cry. Tell me what happened, okay? Who pissed you off? Did Richard do something that angered you?" As Anna spoke, she grabbed some tissues to wipe Helen's tears. Then the latter grabbed her hand and broke into violent sobs. "Anna, I miss Abbie! I miss her dearly!" Helen was missing Abbie. Anna had no idea as to how to comfort her. After all, Abbie was the unspeakable pain in Helen's heart. Anna could only hug Helen as she patted her gently on the shoulder. The latter cried while saying, "I dreamed of Abbie. She was calling out to me from a desolate place. She asked me to save her. I tried my best to grab her, but I couldn't get a hold of her. Oh, my poor Abbie. She must feel very miserable." "Helen, the dream is usually the opposite of reality. Abbie is
The driver found a place to park the car. The car of the Clark family stopped as well. When Valeria opened the car door, Anna had already gotten out of her car. She ran over to the former. She was shocked to see that Valeria was not the only one in the car. The nanny and the children were there as well. Hence, she asked, "Valeria, are you bringing the children around?" "Yeah, hop in." Helen got out of the car as well and came over with an apologetic look on her face. "Valeria, Anna has lived overseas for a long time. She is a little tactless and she never feels embarrassed. Is it okay for her to go back with you?" "It's totally fine. Don't worry about it. I'll take good care of her." Anna chimed immediately, "Valeria, I don't need you to take care of me. My legs are healed already." It was obvious that she didn't understand what they were saying at all. Helen felt frustrated as she didn't know what to do with her. She heaved a sigh. "I'll leave her to you,
William strode to the car and instructed Bobby, "Head to the mansion." Bobby agreed and started the car. Meanwhile, William began to call Natalie. "Natalie, are you free now?" "Yes, I am. What is it, William?" Natalie asked. "Its nothing serious. I'm hoping to treat you to a meal." "Sure." Natalie agreed readily. "Your father-in-law is here too. Let's meet up. Just tell us the location." "It's our house then. Valeria has brought the two children back to the mansion. Dad said that lunch will be served. You and Archer should come and meet everyone." Natalie agreed without much deliberation. After hanging up the phone, William received a message on his mobile phone. It was from Raymond. "William, I'll have a big surprise in the form of a gift for you today. Wait for it!" William narrowed his eyes and let out a smile. He replied with a message, "Thank you, Raymond! Can you tell me what gift it is?" "No, it's boring if I tell you now. But I'm
