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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Walking to the side of the desk, Kelvin stared at the drawing which he had finished by half during the day, saying, "Whether it's Dave or Oogway, they both are so powerful and mighty that they have one thing in common, that is, they are self righteous. People in this kind of position all share this commonness. They assume that as long as they make a move, they can get anything with some means. However, they forget that human beings are not goods. However, it is the feelings that control human beings. In terms of feelings, there's no clearly marked price for it."I looked at Kelvin without saying anything.Kelvin put away the painting and continued, "You... Your shortcoming is that you're so nice that you don't want to hurt anybody. In the end, you'll hurt yourself instead. Or you'll hurt everyone, including yourself."Hearing Kelvin's words, I was stunned for a moment. Then I murmured, "I hurt everyone..."Isn't that so?"Alas! It's not yout fault. Although Oogway is kind on the surfa

    A woman wearing a professional suit and glasses in her thirties came in. Upon seeing us, she bowed slightly and said, "Hello, my name is Whelan. I saw your introduction in an internal furnishing magazine.""Nice to meet you."Hearing this, Marie and I immediately went over to greet her.After a few greetings, we roughly understood that the lady named Whelan planned to run a teahouse and happened to see our information in a magazine. Then she saw Marie's and my resumes on our official website. So she came here after the New Year Holiday was over.Marie and I invited her into the conference room. Scarlett served her with a glass of water.We started to talk about the specific details.Speaking of which, it should be considered the first formal project after our studio was founded.After a while, Scarlett pushed open the door once again and poked her head in.Looking at me with a complicated expression on her face, she said, "Alina, someone is looking for you.""Looking for me?"Who w

    The closer Dave's good looking face was to me, the faster my heart skipped.He suddenly reached out and held my waist. With his face a few centimeters away from me, he said word by word, "So, don't you long for being with me? Every night you are at home, I will fill you up and satisfy you with the most primitive desires. Don't you long for it?"His words made my face slightly blush. I shook my head and said, "No, I don't."In fact, I did!I wasn't someone of loose morals. However, when Dave approached me with his face right in front of me and touched my body, every cell in my body began to yell.I usually had no interest in making love. However, in front of him, I would always be aroused.There was always a feeling in my heart that was pushing me. There was a voice in my mind, shouting, "Come closer, get closer. I want to get closer to you."However, Dave approached me slowly, pressed his thin lips against my ear, exhaled a hot breath, saying, "But, I want to....""Whenever I see yo

    Emily acted as if she had heard nothing.Holding the cell phone in one hand, she said while browsing something on the cell phone, "Madam? She probably won't be the Madam soon."Her voice sounded provocative.I turned my head to ask Lacy, "What's going on?""Who knows?" Lacy looked unhappy, "This morning, feeling uncomfortable, she went to the hospital. After she came back this afternoon, she was like this. I wonder if she went to check whether she was mentally normal or not."Hearing Lacy's words, Emily smiled and said, "Lacy Sanborn, I advise you to talk properly. Otherwise, after I become your master in a few days, you'll suffer a lot.""You? Bah!" Lacy was so angry that she wanted to swear.Standing on the side, I ordered Emily, "Get up”Emily didn't pay attention to me at all.Looking at Lacy next to me, I said, "Drag her off the sofa.""Yes, Madam."Hearing what I said, Lacy was so happy that she wanted to drag Emily.Lacy was stronger than Emily.

    I went to Judith's home. I didn't know why I felt more relaxed here than elsewhere, as if I belonged here.Or, only in here, I can really let go of things.I was preoccupied with the matters concerning Judith's death.I called Marie and told her all the ins and outs of this matter. I wanted to see if her husband Jerrold can check whether there was any report about this.After that, I searched for the list of associate directors of the Hospital.I had also come in contact with grandma's attending doctor at that time, so I should have some impression.There were four associate directors in the hospital. I scanned them roughly and soon focused on a photo of an associate director named Matt Parma!'That's him!' I told myself!"My grandmother's attending physician was this man."I looked at the doctor's resume from the Internet again. He was the youngest among all the associate directors. In comparison to other associate directors, he should be the most inexperienced.How could he be an a

    We walked to my house. I took the elevator to go up, and Dave followed.When I reached the upper floor, I did not look at my door first, but at Oogway's.Oogway and I started from being neighbors. Then I thought perhaps everything was not just a coincidence.It was planned by him.I walked out of the elevator and opened the door with the key. Then I went in and found the Property Ownership Certificate.There was a black cloth bag put together with the Property Ownership Certificate, which stored the pink necklace that Dave had given me.I hesitated for a moment, and then put it into my bag.This necklace was so expensive. Maybe I could help Dave by selling it.When I went out, Dave was waiting at the door. He looked at me with a solemn face. "Have you made up your mind? If you don't want to sell it, I can...""Let's go." I interrupted him. "I don't want to live next door with him anymore."'He' meant Oogway.Dave didn't say anything else.He accompanied me to the Real Estate Bureau wi

    It took about half an hour for Comfort to come out.As soon as she opened the door and saw me standing there, she was scared to take a step back and barely stood still. Then she looked at me and said with impatience, "What are you doing? Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night!?""Tell me clearly what you just said. What was wrong with grandma's tube?"'Today, if I don't figure this out, how can I sleep! That was what I thought.As I spoke, I switched on the lights in the corridor.The orange light shone on Comfort's face.The woman's face was still pale because of the shock. She said impatiently, "I don't know. You need to ask your father.""I'm asking you!" I threatened her. "I still have the video of you that year. Listen, anyway, you know what's my situation now. I don't want to be alive anymore. I'm not afraid to announce it in public and have a life and death struggle with you!"In fact, I was not sure if the video of Comfort I took was still there.But I still needed to

    Judith's home looked the same as before, and the furniture wasn't changed, which made me gratified.After entering, Comfort said, "You can stay. I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll go first.""Don't you want to stay here?" I looked at Comfort in surprise."I, I have a place, I don't live here!" Comfort's face was full of panic, as if she was afraid that I would ask more.At that moment, my mind suddenly became clear. I walked over and grabbed Comfort's hand, "No! If you want the exchange for my apartment, you must stay here with me for the night!""I won't stay!" Comfort shook off my hand with all her might!Her eyes were filled with fear!It was as though she resisted being here!What was she afraid of?Even though I didn't have a clear head on this day, my mind was unusually clear at this very moment.I pulled her and said, "No, then I won't do the exchange."Hearing this, Comfort immediately hesitated and begged, "I, I want to go back and take care of my husband...""You can ask

    My heart went from anger, to panic, to numbness.In the end, I didn't even know when this farce would end.I didn't know how many tears I had shed.However, when I came to myself, the people around me seemed to have dispersed, as if the police had come to stop them.In the end, I was left alone.I felt like I was deprived of all my feelings.I couldn't feel sadness, anger or grief.I stood up. I was pointed at by passerbys when I made my way back, finally, I arrived at the No.1 on foot.Along the way, I was in a daze.I didn't quite remember what happened.I went home, took a shower, changed my clothes, and sat down on the sofa.My brain was in a mess.I completely seemed to have entered a state where I couldn't help denying myself.As I sat there, all I thought about was... all these things happened because of me.Because of me, the studio was destroyed.Because of me, all the orders had been cancelled.Because of me, my mother's life was exposed to the public.Because of me, Dave's

    At nine o'clock the next morning, I found Harry's number on my phone. He was my attorney in the case of Helen.In fact, as long as the details of the trial and evidence would go public, things on the Internet would be refuted.I called Harry, and made an appointment at ten o'clock in the morning in a cafe near their Law Firm building with him.After hanging up the phone, I went out.Dave was very busy recently, so I did not disturb him. I took a taxi and went to the place that I had appointed with Harry.After arriving at the entrance, I paid the taxi fee and went upstairs to wait for him.Since it was in the morning, the cafe was almost empty. So I chose a corner, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat down calmly.It was only 9:30 a.m.I sat there, thinking over and over again about how to speak to Harry later.If Harry would refuse me or hesitate later, I would have to say something to move him.I practiced countless versions in my mind.At 10 a.m. I saw Harry opening the coffee shop's d

    At this time, Marie's phone rang, after listening on for a while, she turned around and went out with a dignified look on her face.I followed Marie out and heard her. "Ms. Sarah, please listen to my explanation. This is an unwarranted rumor. Our designers are not such kind of people. Excuse me, Mrs. Sarah..."She didn't go on meaning the other party hung up.Marie put the phone in her pocket and turned around with disappointment.She looked at me and immediately squeezed out a smile. "The last project has been cancelled, too. It's good. We can rest for a while."Her words made me even sadder.All of this was because of me."I'm sorry. Originally, I thought it was only my own affair, but this also affected the people around me.I went back and Scarlett said, "Alina, why don't you also hold a press conference like Teresa?""No." Marie said behind, "Do you think the Michaelson family opened the press conference at random? They have already distributed questions to the journalists, and

    I hadn't used my mobile phone for the past few days. I seemed to be used to it. Although I had my mobile phone, I didn't have time to check out the news.What did they find again?I tried my best to suppress the fear in my heart and clicked open the news with trembling hands.Looking at the news, it was just as I thought.Someone went to visit Helen, who seemed to have gone crazy, and said I killed Lita on the yatch.The man recorded a video stealthily. On the video, Helen only showed half of her face as she said with tears, "In order to let her let Lita off, we gave her all our property. But Reed was too hard hearted, she still didn't agree. She watched Lita being burnt to death in the end!"All the foul mouthed comments about me spread on the Internet.Netizens were crazyly searching, and they found out Lita's disappearance, Dave and Teresa's wedding, and I who should already be dead.This time, every line was actually very easy to piece together to form a complete clue!Because o

    The four of us went silent at the same time.Upon seeing this, Desmond had no choice but to stand up. "You can continue. I'll go in and get some drinks."Although he had left, we did not continue either. I was bored for a while so I planned to go to the stern to see what they had gained from fishing.I took a few steps to the stern and saw that only Jerrold and Dave sat there.I was afraid of scaring away the fish, so I kept quiet.Before I got close, I heard Jerrold say, "He has spent a lot of money on this issue. If there is no higher bargaining chip, it will be very difficult to suppress this issue.""What's the price?""At least this." Jerrold said and raised his hand. I thought it was five million, and then I heard him said, "Fifty million."Hearing this number, I was astonished to breathless.Originally, I thought it was already expensive, but I did not expect Jerrold to say, "And now you know the things in which people are most interested are not only the private life of stars
