Fern’s heart suddenly lurched as she lowered her head to look at Eugene. His eyes were still closed. His hand was not moving as well. She looked at him for a few minutes. Her clenched heart finally relaxed when she made sure that he was not moving at all. The next second, she was filled with great disappointment. It had been her own misconception. She thought that he had reacted to her. She thought that he had woken up... She wanted him to wake up so badly... She lowered her eyes as tears flowed down her face uncontrollably. The fireworks were still being set off outside the house. A new year was about to arrive. He had been asleep for the whole year. He still did not show signs of waking up till today. She could barely endure it when it had only been a year. She still had to wait many years in the future... Thud, thud. Her tears fell on the back of Eugene's hand repeatedly, making his hand wet. She lowered her head and bit her lip. She did not dare to cry out lo
He held her hand and asked, “Do you want to get back together with me?” Fern looked at him in shock. He had just woken up. Why was he talking about this now? He then said, “I’ve gotten a divorce. I have the right to discuss getting back together with you now.” It seemed like he remembered everything. Did he hear everything that they had told him when he was unconscious? Had he just been unable to open his eyes? “I should call a doctor over so they can have a look at your condition.” She was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly remembered something. “Right, it’s New Year’s Eve today. There won’t be doctors around.” He pulled her back and said, “You don’t need to call a doctor. I’m feeling fine. Everything is alright.” “Really?” She looked at him worriedly. He tugged her forcefully and pulled her in front of him. “I’ve woken up. You don’t need to worry or look after me anymore. In the future… I’ll look after you.” She met her gaze. Her heartbeat then st
Fern never thought that the old master would not be against Eugene’s decision to marry her. Had the old master finally realized her genuine feelings for Eugene? After all, she had been staying by his side to look after him in the past year. Perhaps he just did not want to trigger Eugene’s emotions? He had just woken up, so his vitals were still unstable. “That’s great, Daddy. You can hold a wedding ceremony with Mommy after you recover. I want to be your flower girl during the ceremony.” Rue was overjoyed. “Sure, I’ll let you be our flower girl during the ceremony.” Eugene caressed her head. Fern looked at them and said, “I haven’t agreed to marry you.” Her words caused the smiles on Eugene and Rue’s faces to vanish. They both looked at her. Before Eugene could say anything, Rue asked in an urgent tone, “Mommy, don’t you want to marry Daddy? Don’t you want to get back together with him? When Daddy was unconscious, you said that you’d agree to get back together wi
They had tried to hold a wedding ceremony more than once, but they had never been able to go through with it.“It’s alright for us. Our children have already grown up anyway,” Sharon said with a shrug. “Since that’s the case, Bonnie should be our flower girl during the wedding as well.” Sharon rejected his offer. “Rue is enough. Bonnie is still too small. She can’t be a flower girl.” Eugene huffed coldly. Bonnie was not that young. Sharon just could not bear to let her be a flower girl. Old Master Newton remained silent as he listened to their conversation. He then said, “Move back into the Newton household after you get discharged from the hospital.” Eugene thought about it for a while before saying, “Sure, I’ll move back in with Fern and Rue.” The old master frowned. Was he trying to test his limits? He glanced at Fern. Although he still found it hard to accept her, he had no choice since Eugene liked her. “You should stay outside, then.” He did not object to
Fern looked at the man beside her and said, “Have a seat in the garden. I’ll meet him and come back in a while.” She then helped Eugene to the bench by the side so that he could sit down. He held her hand and fixed his dark gaze on her. “Are you afraid that I’ll hear your conversation?”She was slightly stunned. She then smiled and asked, “Why do you think so? You can come with me if you want to listen to our conversation.”Eugene shook his head and said, “I believe that you won’t run away with him. I’ll wait for you here.”She held his face in her hands and said, “Yes, stay here obediently and wait for me to come back.” After speaking, she lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead.She turned around and was about to leave when he pulled her back once again. He held the back of her head with his large hand and pulled her in front of him. He then kissed her on the lips. Fern’s pupils constricted. This man was really… Did he have to do this now? He knew that she was about
The woman reached out to take away the glass of liquor in Asher’s hand after speaking. He glared at the woman angrily and shouted, “Scram!” He was extremely frustrated right now. He did not want anyone to disturb him. The woman was shocked by his fierceness. She said irritatedly, “Hmph, why are you being so fierce? You don’t know how to appreciate my offer.” “Scram right now!” He was not patient at all. After the woman left, he continued drinking. The alcohol could not numb the despondence in his heart. At night, Fern cautiously walked out of Rue’s room after she fell asleep. Eugene was looking through some documents in the living room. Ever since he got discharged from the hospital, Jim had come up with plenty of excuses to bring over the documents from the company so that he could handle them. During the year that he was unconscious, Newton Corporation had been managed by Jim. However, he did not put his heart into managing the corporation, so the company made a
The bar was in a mess. There were broken glasses and bottles on the floor. The tables and chairs had all been pushed down as well. This disastrous scene was hard to look at. All the customers in the bar had left. Two of the customers whom Asher had beaten up were seated a distance away. They were waiting for someone to apologize or compensate them. If the waiter at the bar were not holding them back, they would have rushed over to beat Asher up a long time ago. Their faces were badly bruised from the beating that Asher gave them. Fern caught sight of Asher lying on the floor a short distance away. A few waiters were monitoring him as they were afraid that he would cause a ruckus once again. She was just about to walk over when Wyatt grabbed hold of her. “Be careful. There are glass shards all over the floor.” “I know.” She avoided the shards of glass and made her way in front of Asher. “What’s wrong with him?” she asked the bar waiter. The bar manager replied to her
“Their marriage has been confirmed? When did this happen?” He stared at the woman in his arms and asked, “Fernie, are you really going to marry him?” Fern could finally take a breath. “Asher, stop causing a ruckus. You’d better head back with me since you’re so drunk.” It was useless to discuss these things with him now. “Reply to me first. Are you really going to marry Eugene?” Asher held her shoulders with both hands and asked her. Fern was forced to meet his gaze. Although she knew that he was drunk now, she still nodded and said, “Yes, I’m going to marry him.” “You…” Asher’s expression changed at once. Evidently, he found it hard to accept this answer. The next second, he suddenly pushed her away and clenched his fists. He then swung his fists at Wyatt and shouted, “Eugene Newton, you bastard! She belongs to me!” It was too late for Fern to stop him. She could only call out to Wyatt, “Be careful!” Wyatt was extremely agile. Not only did he manage to catch Asher’s
“I’ve completed all of his final requests. That’s it.” Yvonne cast a final glance at Quincy, who was gripped with shock. She then left the room. Quincy did not say anything to make her stay. She kept staring at the box of ashes. She stared at the box of ashes silently for an extremely long period of time. Terry asked her, “Miss, do you believe that these are Dayton Night’s ashes?” She turned around to look at Terry. To be honest, she did not really believe it. “Why don’t you first look at the assets that he transferred to you and see if they’re real?” Terry suggested. “Help me settle this.” She handed the thick pile of documents to him so that he could verify them. “I’ll go now.” Terry left the office at once. Quincy stared at the box of ashes and muttered softly, “Dayton Night, what are you trying to do this time?” She was shocked when Terry told her that Dayton had really transferred all of his assets and finances to her after verifying the documents. “Does
Quincy was still deep in thought when her secretary called her through the internal phone line. Her secretary told her that a woman named Yvonne Leif was here to see her. She frowned. Yvonne Leif? After thinking about it for a while, she finally recalled. Was Yvonne Leif not the woman by Dayton’s side? Why was she looking for her now? If she did not die, then Dayton Night... Quincy’s heart lurched. She asked her secretary to bring her in at once. After a while, her secretary brought Yvonne into the office. From the moment Yvonne appeared in her office, Quincy kept staring at her. She had a shadow. She was not a ghost or a spirit… Yvonne was perfectly fine from head to toe. She did not seem injured at all. Did she manage to avoid the bombing on the island? Yvonne was wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding onto a box. She carried her handbag on her wrist. After a while, she stood opposite Quincy’s office desk.She then took off her sunglasses and met Quincy’
Dayton had a dark expression on his face as he stared at the island with a bleak gaze. He pursed his lips. He had no intention of saying anything.He did not want to leave the island. Yvonne and his men were the ones who forcefully brought him away.“I’d rather stay on the island,” he said after a while.Yvonne looked at him in shock. After a few seconds, she burst out in mocking laughter. “You’d like her to bomb you to death, right? It’d be better than dying after going through all the torment of your illness, right?”After a momentary silence, he said, “I owe it to her.”Anyway, he would not be able to live for long. He should just fulfill Quincy’s wishes and let her end his life personally.He would not have any regrets if he died by her hand.Yvonne could not help but slap herself across the face. She then scolded herself out loud, “Why am I being such a busybody?! Why do I insist on saving you when you want to die so badly?! I’m such a fool!”She really regretted her decis
Quincy cast her cold gaze in that direction. After a while, she said, “Let’s go.” Terry did not know what she was looking at just now. He only noticed the unpleasant expression on her face. He followed her and asked, “Miss, where’s that bastard, Dayton Night? Shall I capture him personally?” He did not think that she would let Dayton go. Quincy did not stop walking. “It’s fine. I know how to deal with him.” There was a hint of brutality in her cold voice. Terry was slightly stunned. He seemed to have understood something. He stopped talking to her after that. The helicopter was waiting for them outside. Quincy and Terry got into the helicopter.Below them, the island was in a huge mess. Nobody could stop her from leaving now.“Miss, shall we go back now?” Terry asked.Quincy glanced at the situation below and looked at him. There was an exceptionally calm expression on her face. “You brought plenty of explosives over, right?”Terry nodded and said, “I brought some along
“Doctor Leif, come over and take a look at Young Master. He vomited blood again,” one of Dayton’s men told her as soon as they saw her. Yvonne walked in front of Dayton. She saw the blood that he had spat out on the floor. She was no longer fazed. “You guys should learn to get used to something like this. After all, it’ll happen frequently in the future.” Dayton’s men were stunned. What did that mean? Young Master would frequently vomit blood in the future? Dayton leaned against the sofa behind him and closed his eyes. He did not have the energy to speak anymore. Yvonne did not want to chastise him after seeing his current condition. She clearly knew that he had given up on himself a long time ago. He was simply waiting for his own death. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to carry out acupuncture treatment on him. Rumble, rumble, rumble... A loud sound rang out from outside. Dayton opened his eyes immediately. It sounded like an airplane had flown over? He immedia
Quincy was so angry that her face flushed red. If she was not being held down by his bodyguards, she would definitely strangle him to death right now!Yvonne, who was watching them by the side, could not bring herself to continue watching them anymore. She felt extremely awkward as an outsider. Therefore, she got up and said, “You guys should eat slowly.” She left the room after speaking.She truly could not comprehend someone like Dayton Night. Why was he being so persistent with Quincy Lane? To make it sound better, he was a persistent man. However, he must be a nightmare to Quincy. She could tell how much Quincy hated him. Otherwise, she would not have taken Lennon hostage. She wanted to leave this island. Perhaps love was not only about giving. Some types of love were defined by shackles and imprisonment as well. Not only was Dayton trapping Quincy, but he was also doing so to himself. However, perhaps this was his final wish in life. That was the reason why he was
Yvonne stared at him. She was suddenly at a loss for words. Quincy was pushed back into her room. The door of her room was then shut tight. She heard the sound of a lock clicking into place outside. Damn it, Dayton Night. He got his men to lock her up. She had completely lost her freedom. Quincy had no more ideas. She could only fast. She would rather die than be imprisoned by him. She started fasting. Dayton’s men reported this situation to him immediately. He wanted to head over to take a look at her, but he really did not have any energy right now. “Bring her over.” He had no choice but to ask them to bring Quincy to his room. Before Quincy arrived, he asked Yvonne to help him to the sofa so that he could sit down. He could not let Quincy see him lying on the bed so sickly. Yvonne could not help but ask, “Why do you have to do this? You’re trying so hard to put up a facade in front of her. Can’t you just tell her about your illness right away?” “I don’t need
Quincy could not help but feel shocked after seeing Dayton’s appearance. He looked at her with a gaze that made it seem like he was about to eat her alive! “You’re on the island?” she asked him. Why did his men trick her? “Are you trying to take my men hostage to escape since you thought that I wasn’t here?” Dayton was filled with rage. “Dayton Night, what gives you the right to trap me here?” She should be the one angry at him instead. Just then, Yvonne chased after him. “You should go back.” She reminded Dayton after walking to his side. However, Dayton’s mind was only filled with thoughts about Quincy. It was as if he had not heard what Yvonne said. A mocking glint rose in Quincy’s gaze when she saw that Yvonne was on the island as well. It was no wonder his men were unwilling to tell her that he was already on the island. He had brought another woman over. It was impossible for her not to recognize this woman. She was the woman he had fooled around with at hi
Just then, Lennon detected the mocking tone in her voice. She was not at all concerned about whether they were tired or not.He lowered his head and peeled the apple intently. He did not intend to continue speaking to her anymore. “Let me peel it on my own. Your hands aren’t clean.” Quincy naturally reached out for the knife. Lennon did not think much about it. He just felt slightly terrified. He handed her the knife and apple at once. Nevertheless, Quincy simply took the fruit knife away. She did not take the apple from him. While he was wondering if she thought his hands were dirty, she took hold of the fruit knife and approached him. She immediately placed the knife against his neck. “Young Madam, you…” Lennon finally realized what was going on. This was her true purpose. Quincy stared at him coldly and shouted coldly, “Walk!” Lennon had no choice but to comply with her and walk outside. The men standing by the door were shocked when they saw her holding a kni
