"Grandma?" Lita didn't expect me to ask about Judith's situation directly.

After thinking for a while, she said, "She is still the same. At first, aunt agreed to turn off her breathing machine but now she said we shouldn't do so. It's strange."

Comfort did what I had said.

Trish sat in front of me. Seeing Lita talking cheerfully with me, she came over and said in a moderate voice, "She has been living with Mr. Mitaka since."

Lita was talking to me happily however after hearing Trish's words, she immediately became fierce, "Don't talk nonsense. Reed isn't such a person."

"Are you sure? She has been living with Mr. Mitaka over the past two weeks. They are so intimate and close."

After Trish said that, the others echoed, "Yes, we also saw."

Lita looked at me and the look on her face indicated that she was a little embarrassed.

Trish and others talked about the things that had happened over these days in an even more exaggerated tone as they voiced out in a tone audible to just Lita and

    While she was thinking about how to apologize, Troy Benjamin spoke up, "In fact, she's right. I'm not Troy Benjamin."As Trish heard his words, her eyes lit up. Troy Benjamin added, "My real name is Kelvin Drake. If you study European Architecture, you should know my last name."After he said that, Trish's face changed.Drake?Is there such a surname?I indeed haven't heard of it. However, Trish nodded dully, "I know. I know.""Well, since we have mentioned this today, I will elaborate on it." Kelvin sat in his own position.He sat there and looked at us below, saying, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Kelvin Drake and I'm the 79th successor of European Architecture ."As soon as he said that, all the people present burst into an uproar.It wasn't because Trish's design was bad. It was because she had pretended to be an expert in the presence of an authentic expert.Trish quickly said, "Mr. Kelvin, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'm indeed not good at design. I'll work harder next time."

    I turned around and saw Dave standing on the corridor in casual clothes.Dee was standing next to him.My head was dizzy so I couldn't see their expressions clearly.I was standing on the edge of the swimming pool with Kelvin's help. He didn't let go of me until he dragged me to the lounge chair.Kelvin stood beside me then I heard the sound of Dave coming over.He walked over and said, "Get me a bath towel.""No need. I, I'm alright." I quickly got up and said to Kelvin, "Mr. Kelvin, thank you."Kelvin was about to walk away. He stared at me for two seconds before saying, "No need."At this time, Dee had taken out a bath towel from Kelvin's room and said to Kelvin, "Mr. Kelvin, I'll use this towel first. I'll ask the maids to bring you a new set right away."Kelvin waved his hand and walked into his room.Dave took the bath towel over and placed it on me.He reached out his hand to touch my forehead and then my face. After that, he bent down and directly picked me up in his arms."Yo

    I watched him walk out. I picked up the boxer briefs he didn't have time to wear and pushed him out of my room as soon as he opened the door. Then I threw his pants out, after that, I closed the door.I shouted behind the door, "Get out! You can get out now!"Dave didn't come back that night. I felt like I was a joke.I was ridiculous and pathetic.During the late night, I was famished so I went to the Mart.As soon as I entered the mart, I saw Kelvin.Thinking of what had happened during the day, I was a little embarrassed. I went up to him and said, "Mentor Kelvin, thank you for earlier."He looked at me, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Others call me Senior or Master. Ordinary people call me Mr. Kelvin but why did you call me Mentor Kelvin? I haven't taught you anything yet."His words stunned me in an instant.I, who knew he was powerful, just called him so casually. I didn't expect him to be so serious about it.It was said that Kelvin had a weird temper so I quickly said, "I'm

    Lita looked at me awkwardly, "You... Don't joke with me.""I'm not joking. Isn't that what your plan was? It's a pity you had to arranged such a big scene of drugging me. It turned out to be Dave who detoxified me. Hehe!"I was guessing the drug had something to do with Lita. I was trying to provoke her and make her admit it.Lita looked at me and squeezed her dress hard. After a while, she said, "Reed, you misunderstood. I don't know what you're talking about.""You don't know? Then forget it." I stared at Lita who was sitting on the sofa and said faintly, "That sofa is one of the places Dave and I made love. As you lie on it, didn't you smell anything strange?"As soon as I finished speaking, Lita stood up quickly, "Reed Defiant! You..." She couldn't help but look at me as if she were a timid sheep, "Even if you've slept with him several more times, so what? As long as I want to, I can hold him firmly in my hands at all times."Lita's words indicated she had admitted she was preten

    I was a little confused by his words.Could it be that Kelvin was intending to...?He wanted to acknowledge me as his disciple?No matter how boldly I thought, I dared not think so but what he had said just now seemed to indicate he did have such an intention.When I was wondering whether I should ask him or not, I heard the sounds of footsteps behind me. Then I heard Dee call out from behind me, "Mr. Kelvin."I looked back and saw Dee walking towards us from not far away.Not far behind him was Dave.From such a distance, I could even see the displeasure on his face even with a hint of anger.Beside me, Kelvin chuckled and said, "Well, he is coming."Dee came over, looked at me and asked with some embarrassment, "Miss Defiant, why are you here?""I'm here to see Mentor Kelvin off." I said politely.At this time, Dave had already walked to my side. He glanced at me coldly with his dark eyes and asked the same question, "Why are you here?"I gave him the same answer."It is the duty o

    The atmosphere was a little awkward. I asked, "Ms. Teresa, are you buying the apartment for investment?""Investment? No, I have a..." Teresa paused and seemed to think about it for a moment before saying, "I have a cousin who has been abroad for a long time. In recent years, he has plans of returning home from abroad. Fearing that he won't have a suitable place to live when he comes back, I wanted to get him a place."Fearing that her cousin wouldn't find a suitable place, she wanted to find him one.Her tone sounded so casual that it didn't seem like she was talking about an apartment that would cost her tens of thousands of dollars.Even so, it was her business. What I had to do was to get more than 10 million dollars in my pocket.We soon arrived at my apartment.Teresa saw the leather suitcase in the corner and asked, "Miss Defiant, are you moving out?""No! I'll move out in a few days."At first, I thought Teresa would mind that I was still living here. Unexpectedly, she said,

    "How about this?" Comfort looked at Thomas and said, "Transfer Mom to a hospital at Second Best Level where the price of ICU won't be so high. Then we can hire her a guardian with higher pay."Hehe.They already made a good plan.I would pay for the hospitalization fee and they would pay for the care fees.The monthly pay of a caretaker was only two days' cost of the hospitalization expenses but I had no choice. I didn't want Judith to be stripped off the breathing machine so early.Thomas agreed with Comfort's idea.The two of them immediately made a phone call and transferred Judith to a Second Best Level Hospital.With expenses of ICU and others counting together, it would cost about 5 thousand dollars a day if Judith was transferred there.Compared with the expenses of the first Hospital, the expenses there were much more affordable.The next day, they transferred Judith.I went to check on the situation of the new hospital and found that the conditions indeed couldn't be on par w

    After the coffee we had ordered was served, Thomas said, "Reed, your grandmother was transferred to a Second Best Level Hospital. She will only cost you more than a few thousand dollars a month. You surely have a lot of money left in your pocket after you sold the apartment, don't you?"I immediately understood why he had come to me humbly.He was lusting for my money."Enough!" I pushed the coffee in front of me and took out a banknote of 100 dollars from my bag. I placed it on the table and added, "I will reserve the rest of the money for Grandma's hospitalization fees. I won't lend it to anyone. I won't even touch it."After that, I got up and left.Thomas chased after me to the door, "Reed, I'm not asking you for help. I'm borrowing the money from you. My company is in need of capital recently..."I refused firmly, "I'm sorry, I can't help you.""Reed.""Mr. Thomas, you'd better call me Reed Defiant. You cut off your relationship with me. Have you forgotten about it?"As soon as a

    The next day, with Oogway having something to do, I went to see Jessica alone.I arrived at the ward. Before I could enter, through the glass at the door, I saw that the outer room of the ward had changed.The outer room, which had been previously empty, now lay a desk.On the desk, there lay writing brushes, ink sticks, paper, and inkstones.At this time, holding a brush in his hands, Kelvin was drawing on a piece of paper.With the doll in her arms, Jessica watched him on the side carefully.After standing outside for a while, I pushed the door open and went in.As soon as the door was pushed open, both of them looked at me at the same time, especially Jessica, whom I hadn't seen for two days. Looking as skinny as ever, she looked much better.Seeing me, she grinned.It meant that she remembered me.Her eyes looked clear and bright. And she didn't look like a patient at all.I walked over and held the bag in my hands, "Aunt Jessica, see what I brought to you."Without saying anythi

    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,
