It was a late autumn night, and the weather was cold and dry. Avery worked overtime before returning home. Wrapped in a heavy cashmere coat, she walked all the way into the run-down neighborhood.

In the distance, a beige-white figure could be seen standing under the dim lights of the buildings. Flames flickered between his fingers.

Avery stopped in her tracks and calmly stared at him from a few steps away. This man whom she thought she would never see again in her life. “Louis?” A trace of astonishment flashed through her clear eyes.

Louis looked at her with a faint smile on his lips, then threw the tip of the cigarette on the ground and extinguished it. “Avery, how have you been recent?”

"Not bad. What about you? How are you doing?” Avery's voice was warm and gentle as if she was greeting an old friend that she hadn't seen for many years. No one could imagine that they had once been an unmarried couple.

Louis didn't reply. In a few steps, he arrived in front of her and said in a low

    Blake laughed bitterly, and the hand holding the spear slowly slid down. Naturally, he would not actually shoot because his gun never had bullets in it.Blake was a gangster, but he had his own bottom line, that was, he did not involve poison, he did not touch firearms, and he did not kill anyone. Everyone who knew him knew that he only had one bullet in his body. Unless it was a last resort, that bullet would never appear in his gun.He pinched Avery's chin with her other hand, and said with a hoarse and suppressed voice, "Avery, you're willing to die for him, then what about me? What am I to you?”Avery opened her eyes, and her long eyelashes drenched, "Blake, we ended a long time ago."It had been over between them from the moment he'd thrown the divorce agreement at her and told her to piss off. However, she couldn't control her heart. Was it possible that if her heart beat for the rest of her life, she would love him for the rest of her life?!"End?" Blake laughed, his laughter w

    Trevor was slightly agitated as he moved his hand to the side and sliced off a large piece of the snow-white fruit.Louis stared at the ceiling above his head in a daze, his lips slowly rising into a self-deprecating smile.Trevor was no longer in the mood to peel the apple and threw the fruit in his hand and the half-peeled apple into the trash can. Seeing Louis's half-dead look, he sighed helplessly, "Louis, all these years you have been living abroad, there are many things that you are not clear about. Blake loves Avery, even if her life can be taken away, what are you going to use to fight him for.”"But their relationship with one another isn't good. For three whole years, he almost never returned home." Louis finally shifted his gaze from the ceiling to Trevor.Trevor laughed sarcastically and continued, "Yes, he does rarely return home, do you know the reason why he is unwilling to return home?"Louis's eyes were filled with confusion."It seems like you don't even know why he

    On the other side, Avery didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When she woke up again, she was already in a strange environment. The room was dimly lit, but it was lavishly decorated, with a soft Simmons bed under a velvet blanket."Finally awake?" A deep male voice came from the French window. The man sat on the large black leather sofa. He wore a white suit, which was in stark contrast to everything around him.Avery frowned slightly, she was uneasy in her heart, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked indifferently, "You, who are you?"The man rested his cheek on one hand as he smiled charmingly, yet with a sinister air. “I am Shawn Leen, the master of this place.”"Shawn Leen?" Avery whispered the light in her eyes retracted. In her memories, there was no such man. “What is your motive for capturing me?”Shawn waved his hand nonchalantly: "No, this way please."Avery laughed coldly, "Then the way you invite people is really special."Shawn smiled without a word an

    The wide bathtub was filled with warm water. Shawn threw Angie in and sat on the side, smoking leisurely.Angie shrank into the water, her arms folded over her chest, her back to him. Angie clenched her teeth, hoping that the nightmare would end soon.As long as she thought of how Avery had been humiliated, she felt that everything she had paid for was worth it. Didn't Blake like Avery to be pure and clean? As long as she wasn't clean, Blake would definitely not like her anymore.She was tormented by Shawn throughout the night, and the next day, she fell asleep for the entire morning. By the time she woke up, it was already past one in the afternoon. Her entire body was sore as if she was about to fall apart. But she couldn't care less about that, all she could think about was the deal with Shawn."Where's Shawn?" Angie pushed the door and walked out, casually grabbing a maid and asking."Sir had instructed that you should rest in the room. When he is not busy, he will come to see you

    Avery was immediately shocked. She had never seen Louis like this before. He was like a ferocious beast and completely lost his reason."Louis, let me go. What are you doing?!" She kept struggling, and his mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol that made her dizzy. Her heart was beating wildly in his chest, and for some reason, she started to feel fear.Avery was extremely afraid, and could not care about anything else. She bit down on his tongue, and the strong stench of blood spread through her mouth, finally awakening Louis's mind.He struggled to let go of her, while Avery's body slid down the door weakly onto the ground. Her arms were tightly wrapped around her chest, and her body was shaking non-stop, tears immediately gushed out, "Louis, do you know what you're doing?"Louis clenched his fists tightly, this was an extremely huge test for a man. He had been drugged, and the woman he loved was right in front of him, so he couldn't touch her. No, why shouldn't he? He loved

    "But I do care." Avery laughed leisurely, that smile floating lightly in the air. Her pair of bright eyes were as clear and cold as moonlight. As her thin lips parted and closed, her cheeks revealed a light, alluring dimple.“Louis, you do not understand women. When a woman loves a man deeply, she will stand firm for him, regardless of whether it is his heart or his body.”Avery quietly leaned on the window, while Louis was tied up on the ground. The two of them each took a corner of the room, and it was as if they existed in two different worlds, and had completely lost contact with each other.The short period of silence was finally broken. Under the control of the medicinal power, Louis painfully fell to the ground and struggled. His face was flushed red, as though he was about to burn."Louis, what's wrong?" Avery anxiously asked, and couldn't help but take two steps towards him, but was stopped by Louis's furious roar."Don't come over." Louis sat up with much difficulty, hi

    "You, what exactly do you want?" Angie asked with difficulty."All I want are you. In the future, if you listen to me obediently, I can guarantee that this recording will be forever sealed." Shawn laughed unbridled, he lifted Angie's face and kissed her.Angie's face was ashen as she tightly grabbed onto the sofa beneath her. The soft surface of the leather sofa had traces of irreparable damage drawn on the surface by her sharp fingertips. Now she finally understood what it meant to be unable to live if one had to suffer the consequences of one's own actions.Shawn then tormented her until she was half dead, and then reluctantly let her go. He stood to one side, pulling up his pants, and threw the blanket over her, covering her mess."Go wash up. You look really dirty right now."Angie's delicate face had long been covered with tears. She wrapped a blanket around herself and walked shakily into the bathroom, her legs weak. She felt like a used rag, dirty and disgusting.In compa

    “Since Mr. Anderson is here, why don't we talk about the business." Shawn was obviously impatient."No rush." Blake spoke indifferently, "Before we start a business deal, I need to see my woman to ensure her safety."Shawn laughed again, "Don't worry, Mr. Anderson. Miss Foster is an esteemed guest here, she is very safe.""Does Boss Leen think I can relax?" Blake's eyes suddenly went cold. He was naturally referring to Louis's invasion of Avery on the disc.Shawn was still smiling, but his smile became more sinister. "Before I met Miss Foster, I coincidentally had something that you wanted to appreciate." With that, he gave a signal to the butler beside him. The butler understood and placed a light disk into the DV machine, and the gigantic liquid crystal display showed the scene where Louis and Avery were trapped in the house. Only, this time, it was the complete version.Indeed, nothing happened between Louis and himself. However, he had guessed the ending, but he never expecte

    Trevor had given more than enough face by driving the car himself. He was the quickest person, always the one who could not stay idle. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Angie's indifferent and calm face."Aiyo, Miss Lopez seems to be in good shape today. It looks like she's not sick. I was still worried when we arrived. If you go crazy in my car, I'll directly push you out of the car or send you to a mental hospital."His joke made Angie's face change, "I'm not crazy."Trevor shrugged his shoulders and laughed, thinking: When she went crazy, he was a madman."Did Blake ask you to come to me?" Angie asked again."Do you think I'm willing?" Trevor was still smiling mischievously.However, Trevor, who was in front of her, suddenly splashed a bucket of cold water. "Miss Lopez, don't be so emotional. Mr. Anderson fears you will have a sickness that will hurt his precious little face."Angie's rosy complexion immediately became pale, her fists clenched tightly.

    Blake was silent for a moment. His tall and big body was utterly shrouded in darkness, "What if I say that I don't care?""Do you know what you're talking about, Blake?" Even Esme, who was pointing at his arm, was trembling slightly. “I think that girl completely bewitches you. Do you know what bloodlines are? When you get to my age, it'll be too late to regret it. ""I won't regret it." Blake's words were firm, and each word was loud and clear. He would never regret loving Avery.After speaking, he picked up his suit jacket from the sofa. It was already very late, and he still had to rush back to get Avery up and take some medicine. Aunt, Dad, I didn't come back to quarrel. I know that you all are doing this for my good, but you all have never understood what I need. I am thrilled to be together with Avery. "And this kind of happiness was enough to make up for all the shortcomings in his life."What do you know? Do you think saying sweet words when the two of them are in the prime o

    The two of them dined in a Western restaurant with a candlelit dinner. It was a romantic and cozy dinner. Under the candlelight, the bright red wine in the wine cup shone brilliantly. Beside the dining table, a professional violinist was playing the violin. The sound of the violin was so long that it was intoxicating.After dinner, Blake drove Avery back to the villa. He stayed with her, watching her sleep.Avery's sleeping visage was quiet, her delicate, long eyelashes casting a shadow over her skin.He carefully covered the corner of her blanket, his movements extremely gentle. He was afraid that he would wake the sleeping girl. Avery, good night, a good dream. "He bent over and kissed Avery's forehead, then stood up and left.The car broke through the night and sped along the road, its destination being the villa at Anderson Family.Blake walked into the house. In the living room, General Anderson and Esme were talking, and the niece was playing with bricks by the side. She wore a

    Prof. Johnson shook his head and sighed. He didn't know if he should call her stubborn or stupid. "80%." The professor of Prof. Johnson answered in a straight line.Avery was motionless, with a frown between her brows, when she heard Prof. Johnson add, "Mortality rate is 80%, so I hope you won't take the risk. To exchange one's life for another is, in medicine, an act of folly. "Walking out of the hospital's gate, Avery looked up at the sky, her small face pale to the point of transparency. It was obviously warm, like spring, but Avery suddenly felt cold. Her lead white hands gripped her collar tightly, pulling her outer robes tightly, still feeling cold."Ma'am, shall we go back?" The driver came over.Avery shook her head, "Take me to the amusement park. I want to relax.""Alright, alright." The driver eagerly opened the door for Avery.The amusement park had always been a paradise for children, but it was also spring. The children's laughter could be heard constantly from the amus

    So it was a different time.Now, she was crowned with such a big hat in the name of love. Even more so, Avery couldn't bear it. The noble ladies of the upper class were naturally qualified politicians. If Avery still didn't leave after taking her big hat, she would become the executioner who destroyed Blake's life, causing his life to be incomplete.However, at this moment, the elegantly dressed woman sitting in front of her, who had always been aloof and aloof, did she know what love was?Love is not only to achieve, love or not to leave, but love is also to stick to; love is always together.Avery knew that it was impossible to have children and that her life was destined to be incomplete. She never had selfishly wanted Blake to be as vague as her, but she only wanted him to stay by her side for one more month, one more day, or even every minute and second.Her suffering, her pain, who could understand it?Avery's eyes became moist, but she smiled: "What do you want me to do?"

    When Blake returned to the bedroom, Avery was still awake. She said that she was tired, and that was just an excuse.Avery stood before the bedroom window, quietly looking out in that direction. She just so happened to see Audrey's car leave."What are you thinking about?" He took her in his arms from behind and held her gently in his arms.Avery silently shook her head.Blake sighed, "Can't you forgive her? Avery, Dr. Zuri plotting to kill you had nothing to do with Aunt Audrey. She's just like you, and she's a very kind person. ""Can you not talk about this?" Avery turned around and hugged him, her head gently resting on his chest."Mm. Alright." Blake replied warmly, his eyes deep and serene. He knew that Avery was escaping."You should go to the hospital for reexamination tomorrow. Sleep early, and I'll accompany you there tomorrow.""Alright." Avery complied, taking out the soft silk pajamas from the closet, then she walked into the bathroom."Avery." He suddenly called after he

    Her words made Blake's face darken instantly, "Avery, do you know what you're saying? You're going to push me to someone else, aren't you? "His deep gaze fell on her, sharp with a trace of helplessness and sadness. His two fingers suddenly exerted force, extinguishing the cigarette's tip at his fingertips.Avery's head was pressed down very low, and her ice-cold little hands grabbed onto his warm and thick palm. Her voice was timid, like a child afraid of being punished for something wrong, "I, I didn't mean that.""What does that mean?" Blake was a little angry. What he disliked the most was her everyday look. She was always filled with sympathy, and she always quickly pushed him away, making him feel like she did not care about him at all."I just feel sorry for her." Avery's voice was getting lower and lower."She is not pitiful, and it has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with me.

    It turned out that the night had already begun to sink.“You’re back.” She gave him a soft, gentle smile.Blake squatted before her and gently caressed her pale face with his palm. How long have you been here? “My body is so cold.”“It wasn’t long. The room is too stuffy, so I came out to get some fresh air.” Avery replied indifferently.Blake smiled, and without saying anything further, he carried her up from the ground and walked into the villa, “Didn’t you go to the department store earlier this morning? What did you buy?”“Nothing.” Avery casually replied.“Oh? Didn’t you have high-end female clothing? “Blake asked. Avery had bound his phone with his gold card in the morning, his family had clearly swiped some money, and he was still happy that his woman had finally learned to spend his money, but Avery’s gold card had bound his phone, and in the morning, his family’s gold card had obviously swiped some money, and he was still happy that his woman had finally learned to spend his

    Dina did not care about the Lee family members and pounced towards Quizza's face but was stopped by a cold voice."Dina." Avery, who had been silent all this time, had finally opened her mouth. She stood up and slowly walked over, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and the gaze that landed on Quizza's body carried a faint iciness."And who are you? "Mind your own business." Quizza's best friend was the first to speak.Avery smiled gently, the corners of her lips slightly raised, ethereal, and beautiful. I am Avery Foster, the ex-wife of Blake you all mentioned before, who can't give birth to a child and can die at any time. "Quizza was slightly shocked, and she sized Avery up from top to bottom. She was indeed a wonderful woman, with a faint and elegant temperament, remarkably similar to a bit of daisy that bloomed in the sun during the summer, but in her eyes, Avery was not an obstacle for her on her path forward because her disease did not even cause her the right to enter the J
