Maybe the chance was minuscule, but he had to try anyway. He could not bear to just give up on her like this, even if there was just a 0.1 percent chance.Then, Kevin's call came in, "Ms. Jent disappeared around the border sea area of Ventropolis..."The car immediately fell silent, then Kai pounded the steering wheel."What the fuck, Zach Jardin! I told you not to do anything to Ethan, but you just wouldn't listen!"Kai should have guessed that Madelyn would search for Ethan's remains. But the search and rescue team had looked for eight days and found nothing; what could she possibly find there?The direction where the lightning and thunder had just struck was right at the border. With Madelyn's current health, Kai had no idea if she could withstand the storm."You'd better pray she's okay."The rain continued, and the car kept driving.Kevin arrived just in time. When he saw the approaching vehicle, everyone got out of the car in the rain.Kevin walked over with a black umbr
Madelyn passed out for a long time, but she could hear someone talking next to her.She knew it was Zach. Even with her eyes closed, she could hear him speaking. Zach repeatedly wiped her body with warm water, groomed her hair, and changed her into clean clothes.Kai entered the room and saw Zach, who had gone mad, and said hesitantly, "I've already told you the surgical risk. The surgery can be done one week after she wakes up, so you'd better be prepared for it.""She's always been fine. I'm not worried at all."Zach had not slept for three days after finding Madelyn. He wore the same outfit as before, with messy hair and bloodshot eyes. He had always been a clean freak, but after three days without a shower, a strange odor clung to his body.Even so, he still took meticulous care of Madelyn."I know you can't accept it, but that's the truth. She'll die without the surgery." Kai said."Why didn't you tell me about this earlier then?""She wanted me to hide it from you. Beside
Madelyn could only belong to him, and only him...A week had passed, and Zach had been lying next to her. He did not dare to make any big movements as he held her close.Zach had never expected that Madelyn would leave him.He had neither power nor money back then, so he could not provide her with the best. Now that he finally had everything, he could easily give her whatever she wanted.In the dark room, Zach buried his face in Madelyn's neck with his eyes closed, "Should I have been more heartless since the beginning? If you had never met him, you'd be mine forever."At midnight, Kai returned to his office, drained. He noticed light seeping through the door crack, and he immediately turned cautious.He pushed the door open and saw Lana lying on the sofa, appearing to be asleep. Then, his alertness went away.Lana was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt an itch on her face. She opened her eyes and was met with a pair of affectionate, almond-shaped eyes. Kai was scrutinizing
"I... I'm sorry. Today wasn't the right time for me to come. About Andrew's situation, I'll come back another time if it's inconvenient for you today."Lana waited for him in the office all day. If she stayed any longer, she would only be humiliating herself. She did not want to embarrass herself too much.Lana picked up her bag from the sofa and was about to leave when Kai suddenly grabbed her wrist. Then, he lifted her off the ground."Put me down!" Lana said as she struggled.Kai ignored her struggles and went directly into the lounge, throwing her onto the bed and pressing down on her. He grabbed her hands and held them above her head, "Can't I criticize you? When I told you to piss off, why didn't I see you leave?"With one hand, Kai tore her underwear apart. He then unzipped his pants before spreading her legs."No... please don't!"Kai was too frustrated to listen to any of her words and just thrust in aggressively.In less than half an hour, Kai panted as he got off Lan
She was already married! She would never be a fickle woman.Lana looked at the three unanswered calls from Andrew, and her guilt made her uneasy. The thought of her betraying Andrew made her too afraid to return his call.She could only message him: [I'm at the studio. Working late today. Will be back tomorrow.]He quickly replied: [Okay.]Seeing that he did not ask further, Lana suddenly lost balance and squatted on the ground. She was feeling conflicted and hesitant. Even now, she was too afraid to face the person who shared a bed with her. She did not know if her actions were right or wrong.She had no choice.During the three years she took Andrew abroad, they visited all the hospitals, but his condition remained untreatable. If this persisted, his organs would gradually fail, and he would die.Now, Andrew could only rely on medication to alleviate his pain. He was barely clinging to life.Besides him, Lana did not know who else she could turn to....Zach had booked the
"If you want to avenge them, you can come and kill me with your own hands once you get better. Or else, the next one will be the Young family," Zach ruthlessly said. A hint of coldness flashed past his eyes as he looked sideways at the door, "Arrange her surgery as soon as possible. If she refuses, tie her and get her onto the operating table if you need to."He left the ward after saying that.Every word that Madelyn said was about seeking revenge for Ethan. If Zach stayed any longer, he was not sure what he might do.Outside the door, Zach instructed the bodyguards, "Keep a close watch on her. No one is allowed to enter without my permission.""Yes, Mr. Jardin."In the office, Kai thought, 'I want to make amends. And the only way to do so is to ensure Madelyn is treated and can live safely.'Zach was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking one cigarette after another. Kai opened the vents to let the smoke dissipate and said, "I know you're feeling uneasy now.
The ward was a mess. There were shattered objects on the floor, which Madelyn caused. There was even a pool of blood on the floor, which the nurses were cleaning.Madelyn was somewhat conscious. Her hospital gown was stained with blood, and she appeared extremely weak. Zach thought, 'I'd only been away for a short while. How did she become like this?'Zach felt a pain in his heart that he had never experienced.Madelyn's breathing was rapid. She struggled and managed to free her hands, "I said I don't want the surgery. Let go of me!" The nurses were holding her hands down.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zach approaching from the door. She coldly said, "You get out. I don't want to see you."Zach stood by the bedside. His emotions were unclear as he said, "Listen to the doctor and have the surgery."Madelyn looked at him and sneered, "Then, I'll curse myself so I won't make out from the operating table alive."She saw a hint of pain flash past Zach's eyes. She thought, 'Is
In Ventropolis Prison, inside a dimly lit prison cell with no light coming from outside, Cecilia woke up in ragged clothes. Her feet were shackled with iron chains, and silver handcuffs restrained her hands.Fred Turner, who was wearing a black uniform, buttoned his collar button. The scar at the corner of his eye looked hideous under the dim light. He said, "You've been following him for so long. I never expected you to be a virgin."The few of you take her for a wash. Don't let her die.""Yes, Mr. Turner.""You bastard." In anger, Cecilia suddenly got up. Before she could even get close to Fred, her leg was hit by a baton. Cecilia screamed painfully and lay on the ground in agony.Fred, with his hat on, walked over to her and looked down at her, "No one has dared lay a hand on me on my turf. You're the first."Cecilia responded, "I'm your boss's woman. You're just his dog. If Zach finds out about this, he won't spare you."Fred had slept with many women, and most of them were
