After I was sure Lita stood firmly, I loosened my grip and said without looking back, "Are you done with your acting? Cameras are all around here. How come you want to put on a show, acting like I pushed you and causing a miscarriage?"

"I didn't."

Lita stood there with tears in her eyes, looking in the direction behind me.

I asked, "How could there be so many coincidences in the world? As soon as Mr. Mitaka showed up, I pushed you. Are you a fool? Or do you take Mr. Mitaka as a fool?"

"I didn't..."

By this time, tears had been welling up in Lita's eyes as if they would fall in the next second.

I didn't bother with her as I said, "Take your time to complain to Mr. Mitaka, telling him I quarreled with you, intending to push you and make you lose your baby. I don't care."

At this time, I didn't want to explain further.

I was so tired.

I got home in the evening and wanted to rest when I received a phone call from Lydia.

She said she wanted to redesign somewhere in the hall.

    I closed the door and went back to sleep.However, lying on the bed, I couldn't help but think of the fact that Lita had been chased by several bodyguards a few days ago.I wondered whether her kidnapping was done by the bodyguards as well.The next day, as soon as I left the company, several policemen came over.They took out their police ID and said, "Reed Defiant, we are from the police headquarters and have a few questions for you."The colleagues around who came out with me, all looked at me.I guessed right away that they came to me for Lita's case so I said calmly, "Go ahead." The police didn't tell me whether Lita had been found or not and what on earth was going on with Lita's issue. They just asked where I had been the night before.I answered honestly, "A client asked me to make some changes to a project so I went to their side."The policeman asked again, "Can someone testify for you?"I said with confidence, "Of course! The client came to pick me up at home in person." B

    Before I could finish cooking my meal, my cell phone rang. It was a call from a strange number. My first reaction was that the call should be from a client so I picked it up without deliberation.Unexpectedly, the moment I picked up, Helen's hysterical voice came from over the phone, "Reed Defiant! You're going to die a terrible death! You don't have any conscience at all. Why harm Lita like this? I'm going to kill you!"I listened to her words for a while without any expression on my face and hung up without allowing her finish, then, I blacklisted the number.I had already blacklisted Helen and Thomas' phone number so their calls couldn't come in at all.Now, to scold me, Helen used a new number.It seemed what had happened to Lita was serious this time.Even so, in my opinion, it had nothing to do with me.The next morning, I arrived at the company. As soon as I entered the office, I saw several colleagues of mine converge and chatting. When they saw me coming in, they stopped a

    Could it be that Comfort was the one who had ruined Lita?She did so to change Judith's will or something?I wanted to listen to her conversation but she hung up and entered the ward.I also came out of the corner and walked into the ward. Before I could arrive at the door, I heard Comfort crying and saying, "Mom, you have to get better."She was indeed good at acting.Although the door was open, I still knocked on it gently.Comfort turned her head. Seeing that it was me, she suddenly shouted as if she had gone crazy, "How dare you!"As she said this, she stood up and rushed to me.Before I could dodge her, I heard Judith's weak voice coming from behind her, "Comfort, come back."When Comfort came over, I happened to see Judith.Lying on the bed, Judith had a yellow and sallow look on her face, looking very weak.She seemed to have lost a lot of weight and she got injections on the back of her hand.After hearing Judith's words, Comfort stopped but her face was full of anger as she

    I found that Helen's values were distorted.In terms of being raped and being imprisoned, in my opinion, neither of them was a light punishment. However, for the sake of Judith, I didn't argue with Helen. I just continued to repeat my words, "This matter has nothing to do with me. You can just investigate it. Moreover, I have no interest in Dave anyway. I don't have any motive to harm her."I finished my words calmly.In my opinion, the Defiant family members were worse than strangers.What had happened to them couldn't affect my emotions at all.Thomas stood on the side, saying nothing.Helen cried. She went to sit on the sofa and said in tears, "It has to be you. Besides you, no one else would do so."Helen's words stunned me but it did make sense. If it wasn't me, who else could it be?But I was innocent so I said, "It's has nothing to do with me. Anyway, it's the police's job to find the culprit."Judith opened her mouth, "Don't speculate about anything randomly before Lita wake

    Seeing that I didn't say anything, Dave continued, "If you want to be on your own in the future, the competition will be a very good opportunity for you to train yourself. And it will also be a shortcut for you to establish your own brand."Hearing Dave's words, I was even more confused about what he wanted to convey but it was undeniable that his words touched me.Before I could say anything, Dave added, "Troy Benjamin will be one of the judges."Originally, I wasn't tempted but when I heard this name, I looked at him in disbelief, "Who?""Troy Benjamin."Dave repeated the name again.Troy Benjamin could be said to be the most legendary one among the contemporary designers in the world. He was known as a genius. He was not only an interior designer but also an architectural designer.In terms of his works, others could see his creative and innovative thoughts in them. It was a dream for a lot of designers to see Troy Benjamin in person and hear him make comments on their works.It wa

    At this time, Judith was sleeping so my first reaction was to walk out of the ward with my cell phone.The corridor was in a mess and the voices of doctors and nurses were mingled together."What's going on?""I don't know. When I checked the room, she wasn't there. I didn't pay attention to it at first but the security guard said there was a patient on the roof just now and I saw it was the patient in bed No. 3!"The nurse, who was speaking, sounded like she was crying.If something bad happens to Lita, she surely would be implicated.Several doctors went upstairs with the nurse.At this time, Thomas and Helen weren't here and Judith was resting. In other words, there was only one person related to Lita in the whole Hospital, that was, me.I followed the doctors and nurses and got into the elevator.At the top floor....It was April now and the weather was cold at this time. After I went up, I saw Lita, who was dressed in a thin hospital gown, standing on the edge of the rooftop.The

    It was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky!Lita, I, and all the doctors, nurses as well as security guards around were all shocked.Lita stood on the rooftop and burst into tears."Yes, I've seen you. I can die in peace now and go accompany my child."She was just about to spread her hands when a woman's voice came from behind me, "Don't do it Lita! Lita!"I recognized the voice at once. It was Helen.I turned around and saw Helen, Thomas, and a few policemen.Helen looked at Dave and rushed over. She clenched her fists wanting to hit him, only to be stopped by several bodyguards.She, who was unwilling to give up, shouted at Dave, "Dave, you are so cruel!"Dave stood there as Helen shouted hysterically, "Lita did everything for you. She gave everything for you and now that her child is gone and she has been tarnished, you turn your back on her. Moreover, everyone knows about it! Never should you expect that I will let you get away with it easily!"Dave remained silent.He looked a

    "The building is so high. If she falls, she surely will die!" Hearing my words, Helen couldn't be angrier."Hehe. Then she will have to jump down before we can know the answer."I indeed wasn't worried that Lita would fall.As I was bickering with Helen, I heard Dave's voice ringing above my head. He asked me, "What do you want me to do, Reed?"His voice wasn't loud but I, who was beside him, and Helen, both heard his words."How come you ask her? On what grounds can you ask her opinion about something related to my daughter's life? She surely wants Lita to die. She was the one who did all these things to Lita!" Helen said hysterically."I've already said it. It had nothing to do with me." I looked in the direction of Lita and said, "Why don't you ask her about the men chasing her a few days ago?"As I was speaking, Dave grabbed my hands more and more tightly. He asked again, "What do you want me to do? Reed, as long as you say it, I will agree."Every word Dave had said was firm and

    Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Oogway respectfully, "Dean Oogway.""Yes." Oogway nodded and asked, "How's Miss Jessica?"After Jessica was transferred here, Oogway completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Drake.As for this, I didn't raise any objections about it. Because in my opinion, the Newman Family no longer regarded her as a family member.The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffers from a low degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."Standing there, the nurse told us about the situation of Jessica roughly.Hearing the ins and outs, Kelvin looked serious on the side.Oogway asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?""Yes. But she has fallen asleep. H

    Kelvin spoke loudly over the phone.Moreover, it was pretty quiet inside the car. Oogway seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Kelvin coming over?"I nodded.Oogway immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center.""Well, sorry to trouble you."I was grateful for Oogway's attentiveness.As we were about to arrive home. I suddenly remembered something and said to Oogway, "Can you take me somewhere?""Yes, I can." Oogway nodded.I got an address online and sent it to him.Oogway immediately turned the car around and drove there with me.As he turned the car around, he raised his hand and looked at me with some displeasure, saying, "In the future, wherever you want to go, just tell me directly. You don't have to ask my opinion first. I will always be available for you."I nodded. Only after that did I tell him where I was going.It was a light and textile market selling cloth and hand made craf

    I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc

    I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another

    The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were

    Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o

    I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon

    There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,

    It was night. Even so, I could clearly feel Oogway kept staring at me closely with his pair of profound eyes.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and left.After he left, Bryan, who had been following Dave, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!""Ah... Okay." I nodded.At this moment, Jamin, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.In the blink of an eye, only the three of us were outside the house.We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Bryan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.The maid took the fireworks into the room.Holding Bryan in my arms, I said to Dave, "Then we will go back."After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Dave. Then, I heard his magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight."My heart thumped."Being here without Oogway.. Won't that mean..."In fact, I didn't want to leave a
