Outside, Comfort sorted out the signature book and said to me without even looking up, "Reed Defiant, when my mother was alive, she was the only one that recognized you as a member of the Defiant Family. We didn't refuse to recognize you because of her feelings. Now my mother has passed away. You are no longer a member of the Defiant Family."

"Do you think I will care about it? I always knew my grandmother was the only relative I got." After I said that, I took two steps forward. Thinking of something, I walked back and said to her, "I would be here on the day of Grandmother's funeral and it will be the last time you'll see me!"

At this moment, Comfort raised her head to look at me with a complicated expression in her eyes.

Before she could say anything, I walked away.

As soon as I went out, I saw Oogway's car parked with him next to the car.

When he saw me, he smiled faintly.

As I approached him, I hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you."

Oogway seemed to have noticed my strange

    I handed the broken lens and arm to him saying awkwardly, "Sorry. Seeing that the glasses was about to slip down your nose, I planned to take them off safely for you."Oogway lowered his head and checked his glasses. He frowned slightly and said, "This pair of glasses had been with me for several years. I have grown attached to it.""I'm sorry." Hearing his words, I felt even more sorry. I hurriedly added, "How about I order you another similar one?""This pair of glasses was produced several years ago. It surely has been out of stock."When Oogway spoke, his expression was serious, which I rarely saw.I regretted it so much, thinking I shouldn't have helped him take off his glasses. He had comforted me with good intentions but I ended up crushing his glasses under my buttock...When I was struggling in my heart, Oogway suddenly placed his hand on top of my head, rubbed my hair, and said, "If you do order one with me, I will forgive you.""Huh?"I looked up at him blankly."Didn't yo

    Dee hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Trish violated the rule that nobody should use cell phones in the resort.""Using her cell phone? Who did she get in touch with?"Dee shook his head and waved his hand, "I can't tell you anything about that.""Why?"I chased after Dee, only to see him look embarrassed as he said, "Miss Defiant, you have helped me before and I am very grateful for that, which is the reason why I revealed Trish's matter to you. As for other things, I indeed can't tell you anything more.""I see."Hearing his words, I knew what was going on.Who else could it be?I knew what had happened without any further guessing needed. I thanked Dee and went home.Sitting in the small room and looking up at the balloon floating above my head, I seemed to be in a better mood. I turned on the TV and took out my cell phone to browse the news on the Internet.My laptop had been taken away by Lita so I couldn't work at home.I browsed the newsfeed on Facebook an

    The location I pointed out on my cell phone was a small restaurant near the orphanage. In fact, I had no idea if it still operated.In college when I took time to help in the orphanage, I went to eat there a few times and the food was top notched.About a few meters away from the restaurant, we found that the road was blocked with no way of driving through. We had no other way than to park and walk there.To my surprise, the restaurant was still open and the operator was the same one as we walked in.Immediately the operator saw me, he greeted with a smile. "Oh, isn't it Reed? I haven't seen you in years. Where have you been?""Boss, how come you still remember me?" I was a little surprised."Of course I do. You haven't changed much in recent years. I surely can recognize you." The owner of the restaurant said happily and looked at Dave, "Is this your boyfriend? He looks so noble."I hooked up the corner of my lips, "No, he's just my...""I'm her boyfriend."Knowing what I was going t

    Judith's funeral.On that day, I wore all black and arrived at the burial place. As soon as Thomas saw me he got furious. He pushed me and said, "How dare you come here? Get lost!"As he roared, everyone turned to look at me and none of them had a gentle look on their face.Helen scolded, "You made the Defiant Family this way. How dare you come here? Get out of here!"I didn't know why they were furious but I was clear about my purpose here.I glanced at them coldly, "I'm here to see Grandmother one last time not you lot.""Even if my mother is alive, she won't want to see you!" Comfort finally spoke, "Reed Defiant, you've ruined Defiant Group. What more do you want?""What does Defiant Group have to do with me?" I frowned slightly."What does it have to do with you?" Thomas rushed over intending to hit me.I dodged.Thomas glared at me and said, "You seduced Dave and asked him to break off his marriage engagement with Lita! You are such a scheming woman!"I turned to look at Lita w

    This laptop was used for my work. Because I had to draw and design drafts, the laptop was of high configuration and was overwhelmingly heavy.It wasn't until three or four seconds later that I felt the excruciating pain, feeling like my bones had been smashed by a metal case.There seemed to be sticky liquid slipping down my nose.Seeing me like this, Lita frowned, got up, and picked up a few pieces of tissue from the table. She then walked to me and gently wiped my nose.By the time she retracted the tissue again, the tissue was soaked red.At this time, my head and face was in great pain.Looking at me, Lita giggled and said, "Reed, do you know why you are here?"Because of the hit, I couldn't say a word.Lita took the laptop, "If I hadn't seen the files stored on it, I probably wouldn't have had to treat you this badly. Don't worry, I will let you experience what I went through."I squinted at her because I didn't understand what she was talking about.Lita looked at me with an ev

    Lita clicked open the audio file.I heard an unfamiliar voice."Mr. Mitaka, the matter has been settled. The car would definitely drift off after taking off. Even if he doesn't die, he surely will become disabled."What I heard made me break out in cold sweat.No!No!I cried out in my heart...But then, I heard a voice I never intended to hear."Are you sure no one saw what you did?" I couldn't be more familiar with this voice. It was Dave's.The unfamilair voice replied, "Yes, I handled it myself. There is nothing to worry about."It turns out Haick's car accident had something to do with Dave!It was Dave!"No, no, Dave had no reason to harm Haick. Haick and I had broken up and we were no longer in touch. The reason Haick came to the city was to help me out with the plagiarism issue. He helped me and Dave had no idea he would be in the CIty..."I babbled as I wasn't convinced by what I was facing.For a moment, I looked up at Lita and said, "This audio file is fake!

    "No, no, no, no!" I can't be defiled by these men. I explained to Lita, "It wasn't me who found the ruffians to hurt you. That matter has nothing to do with me. We both have been calculated by others!"Lita didn't take my words seriously. She raised her hand and touched the muscle of the man next to her, "Sister, do you see how kind I am? You found ruffians for me but I spent a lot of money hiring these ones with the strongest lower member. They surely will satisfy you.""No!"Lita then point to my legs, "Hold her legs!""No!"I shook my head desperately and kicked my legs.Two other men came over to grab my legs and the others loosened the chains on my hands as they held me firmly on the bed.Lita then slowly open the glass bottle in her hand. She raised the glass bottle bit by bit to the top of my eyes, looked at me and said, "Don't be afraid. There isn't much but such a small amount inside. If I drip it on your face, no one will think about taking a second look at you again."A p

    Haick stood at the same distance and looked at me with a sad expression on.I suddenly felt powerless as I could only watch helplessly as Haick drowned in the red rain.In the end, he bent his knees and fell to the ground.I knelt down and tried to grab Haick but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't touch him. I could only scream out, "Haick! Haick! Haick!"At this time, I suddenly felt a bright light burning my eyes then it was snowy white in front of me.I was stunned for a second before I realized I was in a hospital.Why am I here?My head was in a mess.What had happened earlier was like fragments of a puzzle.I layed still on the bed as I thought hard."How is she?""She hasn't woken up yet."As I was deep in thought about what had happened, the voice of a man and woman suddenly came from outside, then, the door of the room I was in was pushed open. I quickly closed my eyes and pretended I hadn't woken up.Among the two, the man walked to my bedside, paused for a moment, 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
