"Tell me, Haick is a very important person in my life." I deliberately said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have called me before he died..."After a moment of silence, the police officer said, "Here's the thing. We didn't find any signs of braking on the scene of the accident."The police didn't say anything further.The phone was hung up. I stood at the door of the company, feeling a little confused.What did he mean? It wasn't an accident?"If that was the case, then was someone behind this?Could it be that there was some conflict between him and someone else in the business that caused the counterpart to intend to kill him?I knew it was useless for me to think randomly.I had to leave it to the police to investigate further.Two days later, I would leave for the finals and I didn't know how long I would be away plus I hadn't seen Judith for a long time.Now that I had time, I took a taxi and went to the Hospital.Judith, who was still in a coma was lying still in the ICU. I looked at

Thomas looked at Lita with impatience on his face, "If it were in the past, it would be fine. Now you should know more or less as to what's going on at home."Comfort mocked on the side, "That's right. How about you just let Dave pay for the expense? Anyway, such a little amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for him."At the mention of Dave, Lita looked embarrassed, "I... I'll tell him about it. But I don't think it's a good idea. After all, it's our family's business."Comfort responded, "That's right. Forget it. Let him invest the money in Defiant Group. Now Defiant Group is the place where the money is needed. We don't need to owe him a favor because of such a trivial matter."When I heard Comfort's words, I was burning with anger in my heart.Such a trivial matter?Judith's life seems to be a trivial matter to her..."I'll think of a way to get the money. I won't let you turn off Judith's support machine."All three of them looked at me with different expressions.Comfort i

Comfort didn't speak for a long time but I could hear her breathing coming from over the phone.I knew she was angry.About 30 seconds later, she said, "Tell me, what do you want?""I...""I don't have money." As soon as I opened my mouth, I was interrupted by her. "You should know the situation of Defiant Group. My brother and I are both in debt.""So you are all looking forward to Grandmother's death so you can use the inheritance to pay off the debt?"I seemed to understand why they were all looking forward to Judith's death."... No, no!" Comfort hurriedly explained, "She's your grandmother but she is my mother. I don't want her to die either but she's brain dead. We can't do anything about that."As she spoke, her voice seemed to indicate she was crying. As for whether she was crying for real or not...I had no idea."Oh..." I said meaningfully, "Don't worry. I'm not asking for money.""That's good."Comfort let out a long sigh of relief.I thought for a moment and said, "I'll pu

I took my suitcase and went to get a boarding pass then I went though security check.After I got on the plane, I found out that the whole first class cabin was reserved by Dave.The bodyguards sat apart and Dave and the young man sat together.When I walked to the economy class, I heard people around talking about Dave's identity.It made sense, usually, he would take his private plane.Seven people, including me had gotten to the final and we were lined up in the same row.I sat by the window, sitting next to a woman who seemed to be much older than me.She was wearing a plain long dress with no makeup and her straight hair was tied up. She was reading a book related to internal designing.Out of politeness, I introduced myself, "Hello, my name is Reed Defiant.""Hello, Marie Drew."She greeted me during the interval of reading."Marie Drew? You are Marie."She was Marie Drew, the Marie Drew!I was surprised and delighted to see her as she was known in the designing field as a renow

I didn't go back to my room, instead I wandered around.I had to admit, the resort was well facilitated. There was a swimming pool, a small sized golf course, and a circus arena. However, since there was no audience, the circus arena was closed.I looked around and glanced at my watch. Seeing that it was past 10 p,m., I headed back to my room.As I was walking back, the weather suddenly changed and it began raining. The sky which was filled with stars a few minutes ago was now cloudy. In a blink of an eye, it was raining cats and dogs.I rushed back inside.Just as I was about to rush to the door of my room, I collided with someone who had rushed out of the corner. Her head hit right at my elbow which I had covered my head with."Ah!"She fell to the ground."I'm sorry." I apologized as I took a closer look at her. It turned out to be Marie. I called out, "Marie."Marie raised her head and saw me. She, who didn't say anything, wanted to leave.I grabbed her hand and said, "It's rai

As I layed on the bed, the scene where Dave stood in front of my door with an umbrella lingered on my mind.He was afraid I will be angry if Marie left. His anxious expression popped up in my mind constantly. It was as if he indeed cared about me.It was unknown how long I had been thinking about it when I fell asleep.When I woke up, I felt dizzy and a little hoarse in my throat. I was feeling uncomfortable.My first reaction was that I had fever. I wanted to drink some water but when I reached out for the cup by the bedside, I failed.Bang! The cup fell to the ground, startling me.I felt sore all over and everything seemed to have turned blank. It was impossible to get up. I struggled for a while and then gave in to the darkness.In a daze, I felt a piercing cold sensation on my forehead. I frowned. The next second, I felt a pair of warm lips sticking to my mouth. Then, warm water was poured into my mouth…"Ahem!""Ahem!""Ahem!""Ahem!"I coughed hard and slightly opened my heav

Marie was a tender woman. She had long black hair, making her a little old fashioned. Such a woman would always look self restraint and she would not easily reveal her feelings but at this moment, Marie was looking at Dave. As a woman, I understood the glow in her eyes instantly...She was looking at Dave so she didn't notice me looking at her but Dave noticed that I was looking at Marie.He turned around and saw Marie was still there so he said, "You should go back first. Thank you for your help just now.""Ah..." Marie came to her senses, "No need."After that, she turned around and left.I noticed that when she spoke just now, her face was slightly red.Dave didn't notice any of these. He was fully concentrated on me.He then turned around and continued to feed me the porridge.I stretched out my hand from the quilt and said, "I'll do it by myself.""No, I'll do it."Dave's attitude was surprisingly tough at this moment."..I'm hungry. I can drink it faster if I do it by myself."

Marie stood at the door as I rushed into the room at lightning speed.I picked up my cell phone, glanced at Dave who was still sitting at the dining table with a pale look on his face, then ssaid, "Mr. Mitaka, Marie and I will go out first. Please help me close the door when you leave."After that, I pulled Marie away.After walking for a while, we sat down beside a small pavilion at the side.The pavilion was supported with a few pieces of wood and a white gauze curtain was hung around it. As we sat inside, the breeze blew gently, making the gauze curtain sway along with the wind.Marie asked, "Mr. Mitaka is so good to you. Why are you running from him?""I don't deserve it."I lowered my head."I think you don't know how to cherish the blessings endowed on you." Marie squinted at me with some envy in her eyes, "In the past, our colleagues often talked about how handsome Mr. Mitaka was, how rich he was, and how happy the woman marrying him would be. At that time, I didn't think that

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
