Sienna was suddenly flooded with memories of her childhood. It was back when this area was still rural. One of her neighbors used to raise pigs.She recalled how whenever a business opportunity arose, the elderly man would administer some powerful medicine to the boar. After consuming it, the boar could mate with over a dozen sows.Even though Sienna had never witnessed it, the horrifying cries of those pigs haunted her childhood dreams.Sienna abruptly snapped out of her reverie. Without a word, she firmly shut the door.The sudden closing of the door, together with Sienna's pale face and frantic demeanor, almost tempted Daniel to laugh.Sienna rushed to flag down a cab. 15 minutes later, Sienna was rushing Daniel into the hospital. They swiftly checked in for emergency treatment.When they explained the situation to the urologist, Gordon Gallows, he pointed at Sienna beside Daniel. "Is she your girlfriend?""My sister," Daniel responded promptly.Sienna felt a warmth in her h
Soon after, a doctor entered. Upon seeing Daniel resting peacefully, he commented, "Looks like it's having some effect."After glancing at Daniel's lower body, he added, "But it's not entirely satisfactory. Make sure he stays hydrated. Allow some time for the drug's effect to wear off."The doctor left after giving his instructions.Sienna quickly fetched a glass of water. She discreetly glanced at Daniel's lower body and noticed a slight bulge under the thick hospital blanket. She silently cursed Vivian for being such a bitch."Daniel, have some water," Sienna whispered gently into his ear.Daniel stirred from his drowsiness and sat up. Sienna rushed to support his back."Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Sienna asked, her voice laced with concern.Daniel remained silent. After finishing the water, he lay back down, closed his eyes, and whispered, "Sisi, I'm feeling better now. You should head home and get some rest.""I want to stay here with you," Sienna insisted.With
Sienna acted confused. "I felt sick, so I went to the doctor. Daniel didn't reach out to me. Why are you asking?"Vivian looked Sienna over and smiled suggestively. She asked again, "Daniel didn't look for you?"Sienna shook her head. "No."Vivian chuckled. "If he's not looking for you, then who else would he be looking for?"Sienna pretended to be puzzled. "What do you mean?"With significance in her voice, Vivian said, "You and Daniel are back together, aren't you?"Sienna went quiet.Vivian smirked triumphantly and taunted, "Quit pretending. I know you two are still a thing. If Daniel's not reaching out, it's probably because the drug's hitting him hard."He's scared he can't control himself and might harm you. He might've found someone else to please him.""What drug?" Sienna continued to act clueless, feeding into Vivian's twisted thoughts.Vivian felt relieved and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about that. Just understand that your boyfriend is in bed with someon
Sienna was overwhelmed with conflicting emotions. She rummaged through drawers, hastily grabbing socks and underwear before shutting them abruptly and leaving in a rush.An impulse to flee consumed her. She pushed the thought away, trying to distract herself. But the more she tried, the more she felt a painful prick in her heart.Upon her return to the hospital ward, Daniel was already asleep. She carefully set down the duffel bag and sat on the bedside, watching over him.Her eyes followed the slow drip of the IV, then drifted to his handsome, peaceful face. A tinge of sadness welled up within her.Sienna couldn't comprehend why Daniel would cling to the ring Vivian had given him, even after the harm she had repeatedly inflicted on him.Vivian had endangered Daniel's life before, and now she was causing him further suffering. Why did he still harbor feelings for her?The more Sienna dwelled on it, the deeper her sorrow grew. Leaning against the bedside, she reached out instincti
Daniel smiled warmly and calmly asked, "Are you upset because you think this ring was given to me by Vivian, and it's bothering you?"Sienna nodded, feeling dejected.Unable to resist, Daniel kissed her forehead and embraced her with excitement. He held onto her tightly as he asked with a hoarse voice, "Sisi, do you also have feelings for me? Is that why you're bothered?""Yes, I have feelings for you, Daniel. Could you please return the ring to Vivian? Can you stop keeping it?""Sisi, say it again," Daniel said eagerly."Please don't keep it anymore," Sienna repeated.Daniel's breathing intensified as he anxiously said, "Not that sentence. The first one."Sienna's cheeks instantly flushed. She nestled into his chest, hesitated briefly, then shyly repeated, "Daniel, I have feelings for you.""I feel the same way," Daniel exclaimed, his spirits soaring. He whispered in her ear with a mesmerizing voice, "I love you, Sisi.""But about the ring—"Daniel quickly interjected, "The
Daniel headed to the police station and organized the team for their night operation. At 4:00 am, a large group of police officers raided the production area on the hill in the nearby town.Residents near the hill were woken up by the sound of gunfire in the middle of the night. As the sun rose, the blaring sirens of numerous police cars echoed throughout the area.Sienna's Facebook feed was flooded with updates. Still half-asleep, she was jolted awake by Jane's phone call. Sienna answered the call in her dazed state.Sounding excited as if she just downed an energy drink, Jane exclaimed, "Sienna, Sienna, hurry and get online! Check Facebook. Oh my goodness, we've got more big news from our area! Last night was so intense!""Our area?" Sienna sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.Jane quickly corrected herself. "No, it's the next town over. You know, the one where they've fenced off the hill for film shoots. Gunshots and police sirens kept going off between four and five in the morning
The police had been working on a crackdown for a month and finally succeeded today. They found a significant drug cultivation site in the mountains, along with raw materials, and confiscated two tons of illicit goods.Daniel was swamped dealing with the situation.Meanwhile, Clement had been caught by the authorities. He was the investor of the film and TV production base.Clement stayed quiet, not uttering a single word. He couldn't get out on bail even with his lawyer's efforts. He sat in a small cell of the interrogation room.Daniel urged, "Clement, it's time to tell the truth. Keeping silent won't do you any favors. Even if you don't speak up, the evidence we're collecting will lead to your conviction."Clement smiled, not showing any sign of panic. He remained calm and collected. Despite the police's persistent questioning, he refused to speak.Suddenly, Finley swung open the door to the interrogation room and called out, "Captain Morrison, could you step out for a moment?"
Daniel was incredulous that Felix had remained unconcerned for an entire day. It wasn't until his neighbor informed him that he considered contacting the police.With a heavy sigh, Daniel immediately reached for his phone to check for the missed calls from that day. As expected, there was one from an unknown number.He passed his phone to a colleague, saying, "Help me trace this number."His colleague appeared confused. "Are you certain this could be the abductor?""I'm not sure. Let's find out," Daniel replied.Sienna had been missing for a day. Since neither Felix nor Shelly had received any calls from the abductor, it seemed apparent that the target was Daniel.The police swiftly took the phone to the monitoring room, with Daniel bringing Felix along. Once there, they hooked up the phone to the equipment.Felix gazed at the large, complex instruments before him, unsure what they were for. He waited anxiously.Meanwhile, the police held their breath as they watched Daniel dia
