The knife, which wasn't with any scabbard, had its blade directly exposed outside.Lita dared not touch it so she could only grab my hand."What am I doing?" Lita had a ferocious smile on her face, "Of course, I want to live on! Don't you not understand? After we are outside this cabin, only one of us can live!""We have a suitcase.""This thing won't float at all!" Lita tried to grab the knife with her hands by catching me and wrestling my hand over.She wanted to snatch the knife away from me.She hadn't had a good meal these days so she didn't have any strength. Even so, I had to put down my suitcase and confront her.As Lita looked at me, her eyes turned red. She said, "Reed Defiant, your face has been ruined. You, who have a cheap life, had better die here alone. Let me live. In that case, I'll keep your favor in my mind in the future and burn some spiritual money for you on this exact day every year.""In your dreams!"I figured out that everything that Lita had done just now wa
As soon as I arrived inside the deck, I saw Oogway sitting inside.Seeing me, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He quickly stood up and looked at the gradually sinking yacht outside the window, asking, "Is that the yacht you boarded?""Yes!" I looked at him. Feeling a little confused, I asked, "Why did you come over?"Could it be that Bleak had informed him of this? Or is he related to Bleak in any way?Before Lita revealed to me that the one who had orchestrated the kidnapping incident was Teresa Michaelson, I guessed it would be Oogway.Now that he appeared here again. I couldn't help but wonder whether it was too much of a coincidence?Oogway frowned, "Not long after you left, I told my eldest brother that I was worried about you so I left the island too. According to the sailors, a yacht was burning. Feeling worried about you, I intended to call the police to come and then leave..."Speaking of this, Oogway suddenly took me into his arms and murmured, "Fortunately, I am here
I looked over and found that the disabled man got two empty sleeves, showing that he seemed to be with no hands.Every time when Kelvin wanted to pull him up, he would be in a stalemate with Kelvin."Mr. Kelvin." I rushed over to Kelvin, "What are you doing?"When Kelvin saw me, he immediately showed a surprised look, "Oh, it's you. You show up in time. Please help me pull him up. I have to expose him today."I was embarrassed in an instant.When the ones around saw that I knew Kelvin, they all persuaded me, "Oh, take him away quickly.""I agree. How can someone disabled prove his disability?""Exactly! I'm going to call the police."Hearing someone say he would call the police, I suddenly figured out an idea. I took out my cell phone, and said to Kelvin, "Mr. Kelvin, don't be angry. I will call the police. After the police arrive, they will have many ways to deal with him.""You're right." Hearing my words, Kelvin immediately stopped dragging the beggar, sat down, and took the bag ne
Kelvin seemed to have seen through my hesitation. He smiled and said, "Many people want to be my disciple. You, who have nothing extraordinary and is mediocrely talented, I am devoted to taking you as my disciple. You are curious about it, right?"I was stunned.Admittedly, instead of beating around the bush with me, Kelvin spoke directly and harshly.After he finished his words, I nodded and laughed awkwardly at the same time.I didn't know what to say for a moment.Instead of enlightening me first, Kelvin pointed to the cup in front of him and said, "Serve me some tea first. Then I'll tell you."Looking at the tea, I got up first, picked up the tea, and knelt. Then I said respectfully, "Master, please have some tea."Kelvin took the tea over, drank it, and said with satisfaction, "Alright, alright. From now on, you're Kelvin Drake's disciple. You can call me Master or Kelvin.""I'll call you Master."It would be the better term.After Kelvin agreed, he looked at me and said, "You ga
After Kelvin and I came out of the teahouse that day, he left first.The weather in this town was warmer than that of the City.The teahouse wasn't far from the place where I lived so I walked back alone. As I passed by a cafe, I saw the news on TV."Dave Mitaka, the President of Mitaka Group and Teresa Michaelson from the Michaelson family got married on a private island. They will return home today."Hearing the name of Dave, I couldn't help but stop and look inside the coffee shop. On the screen of a big TV in the hall, the scene where Dave and Teresa got off a plane was displayed.Dave, dressed in a suit was holding Teresa's hand tightly. As the two of them stood together, they looked like a perfect match.I couldn't help but take a few steps forward and walk into the cafe."Wow! They surely are the legendary perfect match, right?"In the cafe, four girls were sitting at a table next to the entrance. One of them spoke first.Another girl said, "What? You haven't read the Facebook
Oogway stood up and walked to me, "Are you afraid of causing me trouble? No. I don't think there's any trouble. And, I am the one who proposed your fake death. I returned and found out that the police, the Mitaka Family, and Defiant Family all seemed to think you were the corpse on the yacht.""It's not like that. I think you are right. I have to become a better me..."I told Oogway everything, including my meeting Kelvin and the fact that I would learn from him.After hearing me out, Oogway looked even more serious. "No, take me to him or I'll be worried.""Well...""Otherwise, I won't agree. Nowadays, a lot of people are pretending to be masters."It struck me that he was worried about my safety.If it were someone else, I might have minded that he had intervened in my matters too much. However, hearing Oogway say so, I agreed.That night, I asked Kelvin out to have dinner together.Oogway and Kelvin sat across each other.Although the gap between their ages was 20 years, unexpected
The situation of each car was different so the degree of injuries were also different.Some were injured lightly while others were injured badly. However, most were injured more lightly than the woman just now. Seeing this, Oogway, who was relieved, planned to go back to the car."Doctor, doctor!" One of the traffic police came up with a cell phone in his hands and said, "After the wounded woman was sent to the hospital, the doctors encountered some problems. Hearing that you were a surgeon, they wanted to consult you."Oogway picked up the call without hesitation.After communicating with the doctors on the phone for a long time, Oogway became anxious and said in the end, "Wait. I'll be there right away!"After handing back the phone, he looked at the ambulance in the distance and then said to the officer, "Please drive my car to the hospital. I will go to the hospital with the ambulance first.""Alright."The traffic officer agreed at once.After saying that, Oogway remembered that
Not long after, a colleague of the traffic police handed me Haick's cell phone. However, it had run out of power.As we were about to leave, the dean and vice dean of the hospital both came to see Oogway off in person.Besides expressing their gratitude to Oogway, they were quite respectful to him.It wasn't until we got in the car that I said, "It turns out that you are a medical expert. I didn't know about that before.""No, I've rarely done an operation for the past two years. The reason why the operation today was successful is some luck." Oogway said lightly.I knew that there was no luck in it. I believed Oogway, who was so excellent at such a young age, surely was quite hard working.The outstanding ones were all working hard.By the time we arrived in the City, it was past 10 p.m.Oogway took me to a hotel and booked two rooms.The two rooms were next to each other.He sent me to the door of my room, saw me enter, and left.After I entered the room, the first thing I did was t
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
