When we went back, the little girl followed us again.They decided to go to the children's entertainment area together.When I finished the meal with Oogway and went looking for Bryan, the little girl's parents stood by the side, and they were ready to take the little girl away.I took a look at the girl's mother and recognized her at a glance."Marie!"When I saw Marie, I had no intention of hiding my identity.Marie turned her head and saw me. She looked confused and said, "You are...""Reed!" I said quickly. Marie looked at me carefully, "Reed? How, how are you Reed?""It's a long story."I wanted to talk a little more with Marie, but there were too many things to talk about as I hadn't seen her for so many years. I could only exchange phone numbers with her for the moment.In Oogway's car, Bryan cocked his little head and asked, "Mom, aren't you Alina? Why did you say that you were Reed?""Hush, that's Mom's former name. Since you have known it, promise me that you won't tell a
Marie studied abroad after her resignation and met her husband there. It didn't take long for her to get married and have a child.Her husband transferred to the City due to work, so she came back with him.After returning, she had only taken on one job so far and that was the design of D24.I remembered Damian promised to give me the information of the designer the day I went there, but he hadn't sent it to me.However, I met Marie first.Marie said in order to make a name for herself in the City, she planned to participate in the design upcoming competition at the end of the year.I was also very tempted.The two of us chatted for a while and decided to join together.Marie and I seemed to have endless topics to talk about.By the time we came to our sense, it was already four o'clock.She and I both needed to pick up the children, and I hadn't bought a gift for Oogway yet.Marie heard that I was going to buy a gift for Oogway, then she suggested, "I think you can take stationery in
The policeman looked at me, paused for a moment, and said, "I can only tell you that the director is still alive."These words were a reassurance to me.My heart which had been in my mouth, was finally set at ease but I quickly reflected and asked, "Why did he turn off his phone if he is alive? Did anything happen to him? Is he injured?""No, no! If you don't leave now, my colleague will come and take you to the police station!"The policeman was annoyed by my inquiry and I also saw that he really couldn't say anything.I had no choice but to leave the hospital.When I got home, I looked it up online. As I expected, fields have eyes, and woods have ears.It was said on the Internet that there was an infectious disease in Way Hospital, and now the entire hospital was on locked down.I had checked the disease on the Internet.I found out it was a respiratory disease caused by a virus and people were liable to die from it.Upon seeing this, I immediately panicked.Had Oogway been infecte
"To be honest, hearing that you are concerned about me so much, I indeed feel that although I have fallen ill this time, it is worth it. Even if I die, it is indeed worth it.""What kind of nonsense are you talking about? You aren't allowed to die!"I never thought that Oogway would die, not even for one second. However, this kind of possibility took place right now."Okay."Judging from Oogway's voice, I could sense that he was happy and I could even feel that he surely was smiling."You probably will die. What are you so happy about?""It is worth it even if I die." Oogway coughed a few times over the phone and continued, "Alina, I've been by your side for so many years. But I've never felt you care for me, need me, and like me. In fact, the reason why I have been caring about you and helping you for so many years isn't that I want you to be grateful to me. Instead, I hope that you can get used to my existence one day and rely on me even if you don't love me. However, I didn't feel
Oogway drove the car to the underground garage of the community. Getting off the car, he put his coat on my legs and said, "Come on, I'll hold you in my arms.""No need. I can walk by myself."Ignoring my words, Oogway directly picked me up in his arms.As I was in Oogway's arms, I looked up and saw that there were dark circles under his bloodshot eyes. He haven't had a good rest.I couldn't help feeling a little distressed for him.I said to him, "Oogway, have a good rest tonight.""Okay." Holding me in his arms, Oogway went into the elevator.It wasn't until we arrived in the corridor that Oogway put me down.Seeing him open the door, I was about to go back to my room. However, he pulled my hand and said, "Come over to my house.""Have a good rest. Let's talk tomorrow if there is anything."I stood there.After opening the door, Oogway didn't let go of my hand. He smiled at me and said, "The way you see it, if I don't check the injury on your leg tonight, can I sleep at ease?"Only
I entered my apartment, took out the fountain pen I had bought, and put it in his hand, saying with a smile, "Happy birthday."Oogway looked at the box and asked, "What is it? Can I open it?"I nodded.Oogway untied the ribbon on the box and took out the fountain pen.Before he could speak, I snapped, "It's not something valuable...""I like it very much." Oogway immediately inserted the fountain pen into the pocket of his shirt and said, "I'll bring it with me every day.""Great"Hearing that he liked the fountain pen, I was relieved.Tonight, I could finally sleep at ease.The next morning, Bryan walked out of the door and saw Oogway, feeling quite happy, "Mr. Oogway, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much.""I missed you too."Oogway picked him up and went into the elevator with him.After we sent Bryan to the kindergarten and came out, I said to Oogway, "If you want to go to the hospital, I can go home by myself."A few days ago, Marie had told me about the desig
The woman got long hair and she tied up her hair into four braids hanging behind.Judging from her face, I sensed that she seemed to be older than me. Her skin was slightly loose. Even so, her facial features were delicately outlined and exquisite.With a pair of almond shaped eyes, a towering nose, and red lips, she looked beautiful and charming at her age.She had said just now that Oogway had said the same thing to her.Could it be that she is Oogway's ex girlfriend?I have never heard anybody mention her before.Oogway lowered his head and looked at the woman, saying with an expressionless look on his face, "I didn't know that you own this studio. Otherwise, I surely wouldn't have come here to disturb you."Although he said so verbally, he didn't imply so at all.It was clear that he didn t want to see her.The woman looked at Oogway with a faint smile and turned to look at me. After sizing me up and down for a while, she said, "Is this the girl you have been looking for before?"
Walking to the front of her, I bent my knees slightly and kept my face at the same level as hers, saying, "Hello, my name is Alina Jetson. I'll leave my wedding dress to you."After that, I extended my hand.The designer was a little surprised by my behavior.She revealed a good looking smile, held my hand, and said, "My name is Eunice Stanton. You can rest assured that I will design the best looking wedding dress for you.""Thank you."I straightened my back.Eunice monitored the wheelchair, made it move inside, and said, "Miss Jetson, come in with me. I'll ask my assistant to take your measurement. By the way, tell me whether you have any expectations about your wedding dress. I'll design it specifically according to your wishes." After saying that, she stopped the wheelchair and turned around to look at me, saying, "This is the first time I've provided such special service to the guests.""Thank you."I followed Eunice and Oogway followed behind with a nervous look on his face.Wh
My heart pounded against my ribs as I took a shaky breath, trying to steady my emotions. But as I turned to face the guests, my family, my friends, and most of all, the man standing just a few steps away, my voice trembled with overwhelming emotion."This isn’t just Kim’s wedding," I finally said, my voice thick with unshed tears. "It’s mine too."Gasps filled the air, followed by a stunned silence. Then, all at once, the crowd erupted into excitement.I heard my mother’s joyful sob, saw Kelvin blinking in surprise before his face broke into a smile. Kim squeezed my hand, winking, and Desmond chuckled beside her. But my eyes weren’t on them.They were on Dave.He stood motionless for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. Then, with the help of his crutches, he began to walk toward me, determination in every step.When he finally reached my side, he lifted a hand to my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.“You’re crying,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.I laughed shakily,
Dave surely wouldn't say no to Desmond.Seeing that Dave had personally agreed, Desmond couldn't be more joyful.Hearing Desmond's words, Dave lowered his eyes slightly. Falling silent for a moment, he didn't promise Desmond immediately.I knew what he was hesitant about.In his current situation, it was difficult for him to stand on stage. He might need a crutch.As I was about to refuse on behalf of him, Dave spoke first, "Okay, no problem.""Then I'm leaving. I won't bother you two anymore!"Hearing that Dave had agreed, Desmond left.After Desmond left, I said with some concern, "Desmond is one of us. If you are in a difficult position, tell him directly.""I know." Dave looked up at the rehabilitation equipment on the side and said, "But we agreed on this a long time ago. I can't let him down."It made sense. Desmond had always been by Dave's side.They two should have agreed on this early.Dinner was a quiet affair, but in the best way possible. The kind where words weren’t alw
Dave and I lived in the town for a while.When we lived together, Dave would make love to me against my will with the excuse that it would be conducive to the recovery of his legs.Frequently, we didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. I was so exhausted that I didn't even know when he had gone to rehabilitation in the morning.One and a half months later, Dave's legs had recovered to a great extent. He could walk for a short distance without a crutch.On the last day of the rehabilitation training, the doctor told us in the rehabilitation room that Dave could return to the City, saying that he could finish the rest of the rehabilitation training at home.Hearing this, Dave bought flight tickets on the same day.We went back and packed up our things before setting off.The next night, Dave and I landed at the airport.After going back home, Dave and I didn't get Bryan back to our side for the time being. Dave had been quite busy because of his work.He worked overtime after m
Teresa walked gracefully and looked at us, asking, "What happened?"She looked as if she was watching a good show. From this, I knew that she surely had been eavesdropping inside for a while and that she surely had known what had happened by this time.Having been in contact with Teresa for a long time, these people were naturally close to her.Hearing her question, everyone told her what had happened.Teresa looked at me with an unconcealable smile on her face, saying to me, "People in this town are clean and simple. How can you act the same way as you did in the City? You are a discredit here.""He gave me the key." I defended myself.Teresa surely wasn't convinced as well, saying, "Even if you are lying, you have to make up convincing lies. Everyone knows that you and I are both kept outside here. He probably doesn't even know that you are here. How would he give you the key?"As Teresa spoke, she had a smug look in her eyes.Sure enough, after she finished her words, the ones arou
Picking up my cutlery and taking a bit of rice, I said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'll come see you every night in the future.""Why?"Hearing this, Dave was a little puzzled.I chuckled, "I won't tell you! Anyway, don't let others know that I've been here."I didn't tell him why. However, Dave was so smart. Seeing my expression, he immediately said, "You want to keep her in the dark, right?"I nodded.Since Teresa had put in so much effort to put on a show, I naturally wouldn't let her act in vain.He nodded.However, when I left, I didn't climb over the wall again. Dave found someone and gave me a key to the back door locked all year round.I left through the backdoor.The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.Teresa wore a blue and white dress with knee length today.Sitting on the opposite side of the road, she stared at the hospital door in a daze.When I went over, Teresa looked up at me and said with a hint of disdain, "I thought you were gone.""No, I didn't."There was a
A long time seemed to have passed since we made love. However, Dave was quite familiar with my body. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked at him and said, "I want you."I rarely said so.At this moment, I knew that by seeing what I did and hearing my words, Dave could be infinitely confident.Raising his head, Dave hadunconcealable excitement in his eyes.Reaching out and pushing aside the strands of hair on my cheeks, he said, "You have me.""You have me."After he said so, the ambiguous and warm atmosphere permeated the room.By the time I opened my eyes again, day...Someone outside knocked on the door. A nurse seemed to be calling Dave to do the rehabilitation training.I looked at Dave sleeping soundly beside me with my face slightly blushed. Last night, we had been making love for a long time. Dave seemed to have inexhaustible strength. One or two hours had passed only since we went to bed.Dave, like me, heard what the nurse had said outside. Without opening his eyes, he
After I entered the room, it was dark inside with the curtains drawn. I couldn't see anything.Wondering where Dave was, I was sure that he surely had fallen asleep.I reached out to fudge around, trying to figure out the situation inside the room.All of a sudden, I ended up touching a soft and sturdy body.I was shocked.Then, I heard Dave say, "Leave quickly. Or I'll call a bodyguard."His voice was cold and emotionless.I couldn't help but shudder.I suspected that the bodyguard had betrayed me.As I was about to say something, I heard him say, "You surely know the situation of Michaelson Group well. With a phone call from me, Michaelson Group will close down tomorrow. At that time, you may not even afford to return to the City."It turned out that he mistook me as Teresa.Sensing that he was standing, I wondered whether Dave's legs had been healed."You... ""It's me."As Dave was about to speak again, I reached out and hugged him directly.While hugging him, I touched something
Kim picked up the call and spoke in surprise over the phone, "You are making an international call.""I have something to tell you." Looking at the desktop wallpaper on my computer screen, I thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, I learned that Teresa and Dave might have a son and that he should be about the same age as Bryan.""What?"I could strongly sense Kim's surprise over the phone so I moved the cell phone a little further away from me.Kim continued, "That's impossible. What the hell is this? Didn't he ever tell you about this?"Holding the cell phone, I shook my head, "No, I knew it yesterday. And now I'm in a mess.""Well, regarding this..." Kim said over the phone, "In my opinion, you should ask Dave about this by yourself. After all, Teresa is good at disguising herself. You don't even know whether she is telling the truth or not. Nobody knows that she, who is a high ranking socialite in the City before, is a shrew in private, right? You'd better confirm with Dave
I looked left and right.The wall guarding the hospital was made up of ordinary brick. It was only more than two meters high. In fact, the wall couldn't be of any deterring effect at all.After thinking for a moment, I said to the bodyguard, "Since you won't let me in, I'll go. Please don't tell Dave that I've come here, okay?"The bodyguard didn't know that I probably would make other moves.If he knew, I wouldn't have any chances at all.Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.Fearing that he promised me nominally, I put my palms together devoutly and pleaded, "Please don't tell him.""Well, I won't."The bodyguard promised once again.Only after that was I rest assured.Seeing that I came out, Teresa stood at the door and looked sarcastic, "I originally thought you would be greatly respected. It turned out that you were kept outside as well."Looking at Teresa, I wasn't angry, asking, "Miss Teresa, you are a socialite in the City. I remember when we first met, you talk
