In the revelation, Oogway described his biological mother as someone single all over her life to guarding her love. And Jamin was an irresponsible Mr. Wrong.In fact, the revelation had nothing to do with me. If it did, it would be that back then, Oogway's mother was also a young girl in her twenties.After the fourth breaking news was released, the FB account that published these revelations announced that he would stop revealing more breaking news for the time being.Over the past four days, there had been four breaking news, making it like a carnival for reporters and netizens.Each social platform scaled up its server for this reason.Everyone loved to know the private life of a wealthy family. And some unpresentable stuff was popular as well.Sure enough, the four breaking news made the Newman Family, the Michaelson Family, and the Mitaka Family all in a mess.I calmed myself down, only to find that I seemed to have been kept out of the affair.These things didn't have much impac
I took Bryan with me and went to the Hospital.Upon arriving at the hospital, I saw a cordon set up outside the hospital. And the security guards were guarding there.There were several commercial vehicles parked on the side. Apparently, they were reporters' cars.Before I got out of the car, I put on my sunglasses and a mask. Putting a cap on Bryan's head, I wrapped his neck with a scarf.As soon as the car stopped, I rushed into the hospital with Bryan in my arms.At this time, Jamin was already in ICU.After entering ICU, we saw Anita and Jamie both there and Oogway was nowhere to be seen.In fact, before I came here, I knew that he wouldn't be here. The reason why Jamin fell ill now was highly likely because of the revelation in the news.The news made Jamin's scandal known to the public. He, who was old, naturally couldn't stand this kind of stimulation.As soon as Bryan and I came over, Anita walked over directly, "How come you are so shameless as to come over here?""Anita." Ja
Jamin moved his lips slightly, "I am ill." He knew why Bryan called him like this."Really? Then you have to do as the doctor says carefully. Be good. Get an injection and take your medicine. You'll be fine soon!"Bryan, who was young, had no idea that getting sick would be divided into several kinds of situations.He thought that Jamin was the same as him and that Jamin got a cold and a fever. In that case, Jamin could be cured by taking medicine and getting injections.Hearing his words, Jamin couldn't help laughing more brightly. And he said, "Well, okay. Great grandpa surely will do as the doctor says.""Okay." Bryan nodded, stretched out his hand, and patted Jamin's hand, saying, "Then, Grandfather, after you recover, I'll go have fun with you again."."Okay, okay." Jamin nodded slightly.As he spoke, his blurry eyes were moistened. He looked up at us after a long while and said, "Dave, Alina.""Grandpa."Dave approached Jamin. And I stood there.Seeing Jamin like this, to tell t
At this moment, Kelvin finally came out of the room. Looking at us, he frowned and asked, "What's going on? As I took a nap, how come you made a scene like this?""Grandfather Kelvin! This woman beat my mother!" Bryan ran to the front of Kelvin at once.Kelvin asked, "What's the matter?"At this time, the servant, who had been chased by Jessica just now, said, "I... I took a leave and went home a few days ago. After arriving here today, I saw a doll and thought that someone had placed them here by accident..."Speaking of the doll, Kelvin understood everything and asked, "Where is the doll?""In... In Young Master Bryan's room." The servant seemed to realize something and immediately said, "I am going to fetch it now!"As soon as the servant left, Kelvin went over and said to Jessica, "The servant wasn't sensible enough. She will bring the doll to you later."However, at this time, hearing his words, Jessica didn't respond. Instead, she looked at me and said briefly, "My daughter."Ke
The staff of the ambulance naturally sent Teresa to Way Hospital.After all, people from the upper class in all thought highly of it.Because of what happened previously, I got used to wearing a mask and sunglasses outside.Wearing sunglasses, I followed the doctor into the emergency room and saw that Teresa was directly wheeled inside.A nurse asked me to pay the bill for Teresa. And I did as she said.After everything was done, I sat alone in the corridor, feeling helpless.I didn't want to accomplish anything. I just wanted to be a good designer, do my job well, and be with Bryan until he grew up.As for the rest, I indeed didn't want them.But why did others get me involved in such chaos over and over again?What on earth did I do wrong?What Oogway had exposed last time quieted down a little. And now this thing had happened. I indeed didn't know what would happen to me next."Alina." I heard Dave's voice ringing above my head.Without looking up, I said simply, "I was set up. The
"Is there anything else?""That is.. We just wanted to know why Teresa would go there. Did you ask her out? And the car accident...""I didn't ask her out. I had a project there. I thought my partner would be there. I was about to take a taxi back after my partner left. I didn't expect to meet Teresa." Since Finn asked, I explained at once. "She insisted on treating me to coffee in the middle of nowhere. I didn't agree. As a result, there came a car behind. She pulled me and fell down, and then she was hit by the car."I said in one breath.Finn, who was on the other side of the phone, seemed to be stunned. "So...""So, if there is any information on the Internet saying that I pushed her, I can only prove the facts by checking the nearby CCTV." I said, and added, "Also, I am not interested in whether you are my biological father or not. Naturally, I will not test DNA with you. If Teresa is awake, please tell her that she doesn't have to be wary of me."Finn didn't expect that I would
He sat on the bed and held my hand, and his face was gloomy. "I won't interrupt you if you don't allow me to disturb your work. But the precondition must be that you won't get sick.""I'm sorry, I was just...""Did you just try to calm yourself down using your job to avoid the comments on Internet?" Dave asked.I nodded and asked after thinking for a moment, "How is it going on the Internet? Is it better?""Yes, but you'd better read less of that and read more books." Dave rubbed my hair. "Do you want to go to the island? Marie said that you can be on holidays these days, I can take you there. You can ask your friends to go together, and we can also take Bryan with us.""Really?"I remembered that Kim had told me she really wanted to go there."Well, I had a wedding with Teresa there before. If you mind, I can reserve another island from the Maldives...""No, I don't mind. It's a good place."What's more, reserving another island would cost more money.That island was very good. I did
I called Marie.She and her husband were planning to take Bryan to walk around the island. Knowing what I told them, they immediately said, "You can take Bryan to the swimming boundless pool. We can take care of him, and the two children can play together with no problem.""This... "I was a little embarrassed.Marie said with a smile on the other side of the phone, "You are more than welcome. Go enjoy your couple's world."Hanging up the phone, I brought Bryan to the swimming pool. Aurelia was playing in the pool in a swim ring.Marie and her husband were lying on the chair.Seeing us coming over, both of them got up.At the sight of Aurelia, Bryan grabbed a swim ring aside, and also jumped into the swimming pool.Marie and her husband came over, and I said quickly, "Marie, Mr. Jerrold, I count on you to take care of Bryan."On the way to the island, Marie had introduced her husband officially to me.Her husband's name was Jerrold. He was the vice president of a new media company in
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
