Her instincts told her that her parents’ death was not as simple as it seemed. After Dayton brought her back to the hospital, he immediately asked the doctor to come over and carry out an inspection on her. “After assessing her current condition, the child seems to be alright. But there are still some factors that may lead to instability. Therefore, you two should try your best to aid in the stabilization processes. The mother has to remain optimistic.” The doctor reminded them. Dayton’s stiffened expression finally relaxed. “Sure, we understand.” The doctor then left. Quincy rested as she leaned against the headboard of the bed. She caressed her stomach lightly and looked at the man beside her. “I was right, wasn’t I? There won’t be a problem with me visiting my parents.” “Do you know how worried I was the entire journey?” he asked with a frown. “It’s been hard on you.” Quincy held his hand. He had carried her on the way there and back here. He did not even compl
Sharon went to wash up after putting down her luggage. She was rather tired after taking such a long flight. She wanted to take a long warm bath. After she finished washing up, there were a dozen missed calls on her phone, which was on the table. The calls were all from Simon. Why was he calling her non-stop? Just then, her phone rang again. She picked it up immediately. “Hello—” “Why did it take you so long to pick up my calls?” Simon’s voice was extremely deep and carried slight traces of worry. She laughed in exasperation and said, “I was taking a bath just now, so my phone wasn’t with me. Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?” “You were bathing?” Simon calmed down after hearing her answer. However, he was still extremely unhappy. “Yes, I just got down the plane. I had to take a bath.” She then added, “You haven’t told me why you were calling me.” “It’s nothing. I just wanted to know if you’ve arrived safely.” Sharon noticed that he was unhappy from h
“You’ve prepared so many dishes. It seems like my portion is included,” Sharon told Dayton. Dayton spoke to her in an impassive tone, “Quincy hasn’t had much of an appetite lately, so I got the chef to prepare more dishes for her. That way, she can pick what she likes to eat.” Sharon pouted. She wanted to praise him for being a good host, but it seemed that she was overthinking. Quincy cast him a sideways glance. Luckily, she knew that he was usually this direct and straightforward. Otherwise, she would have complained about his bad temper. “Shar, take a look and see if any of these dishes suit your taste. Otherwise, I’ll ask them to cook some other dishes for you.” Quincy was filled with a motherly gentleness after getting pregnant. Sharon evaluated her silently. Suddenly, she felt a little dazed. Quincy was just such a fiery person in the past. She was not afraid of pain or death and insisted on fighting Dayton to the end. Actually, things were pretty good right now
Quincy found it hard to reply to Sharon’s question. Her situation sounded kind of creepy. After a brief silence, she said, “I don’t know what’s going on… Although I was kind of worried when I learned that I was pregnant with this child, I was still extremely happy. But last month...I started having nightmares every night.” Sharon frowned after hearing what she said. “Nightmares?” Quincy nodded and said, “Yes, I keep dreaming about my parents passing away in a car crash. They’re always covered in blood, looking terrifying…” She had lost her memories and no longer remembered what had happened during her parents’ car accident, but the image of them always looked so vivid in her nightmares. They always glared at her with blood all over their bodies. They seemed to be extremely angry at her. She reached out to hold Sharon’s hand instinctively. She could not help but tremble all over when she recalled the scenes from her nightmares. Sharon could sense her fear. She held he
Sharon walked into the ward next door and saw Dayton smoking alone as he sat on the single-seater sofa. His handsome face, which looked so delicate that it almost seemed devilish, was shrouded in smoke. He looked extremely pressured. “Quincy has fallen asleep. You should go over to keep her company,” Sharon said. Dayton turned around to look at her. His handsome face remained impassive. The next moment, he snuffed the cigarette stub that he was holding in the ashtray. “What did she tell you?” He fixed his sharp gaze on her. Sharon was not fazed by his fierceness. After all, she had already grown used to his terrible temper. She smiled faintly and said, “It’s a secret between me and her. I can’t tell you.” Dayton stood up and stuffed one of his hands in his pocket. He then inched closer to Sharon step by step. She did not shy away from him or retreat. She stood there and watched as he walked in front of her. He exuded a sense of coldness and oppression. “You don’t n
Quincy did not have any nightmares in the past two nights. Perhaps it was because she had visited her parents’ graves and given them flowers.The fragrances that Sharon gifted her had also improved her sleep. Therefore, she seemed pretty energetic recently. Since she was in good spirits, Dayton’s mood improved a lot as well. Just then, the doctor came over to perform a B-ultrasound examination on her child. “The child is doing well. You must maintain a good mood and rest more. You need to increase your nutrition intake as well. Drink more stews.” The doctor reminded her after carrying out the examination. Quincy relaxed her tense heart and asked, “Do I still need to take the stabilizing pills?”“Although there doesn’t seem to be much of a problem now, you almost had a miscarriage earlier, so you still need to take the stabilizing pills,” the doctor said.Quincy nodded and said, “Alright, I got it.” Dayton supported her as she walked out of the examination room. Quincy
Dayton helped Quincy to get down the car carefully. The butler immediately rushed over to greet them. “Welcome back, Young Master and Young Madam,” the butler said. The two rows of servants standing behind the butler greeted them in an orderly manner as well, “Welcome home, Young Master and Young Madam.” “Move the luggage in the car boot into the house,” Dayton told the butler. The butler immediately ordered the servants to do as Dayton said. He then walked behind Dayton and Quincy. “Young Master… Miss Tia is here,” the butler reported. Dayton’s expression immediately changed after he heard what the butler said. Before he could say anything, a figure sprinted out of the house and called out, “Dayton, you’re back!” She had the soft voice of a young girl. After a while, a girl dressed in a pink dress stood in front of him. Tia Smith ignored everyone who was standing beside him and held his hand straight away. She spoke to him in a coquettish tone, “Dayton, I heard
Quincy laughed after being stunned. She said in a tone of disbelief, “How’s that possible? Dayton is her cousin.” “You mentioned that they aren’t close relatives. Besides, they can’t really be considered family. Dayton isn’t her brother,” Sharon said. Quincy’s smile immediately faded away. She seemed to have thought of something. Her brows furrowed instinctively. Sharon noticed the change in her expression. It seemed that she had been oblivious to Tia’s feelings for Dayton. “If that’s really the case, no wonder she disliked me from the very start.” Quincy carefully recalled Tia’s attitude toward Dayton and chose to believe in what Sharon said. She then added, “It’s useless even if she really does like him. He won’t fall for her. Besides, I’m his wife.” Sharon fixed her gaze on her and asked, “Do you trust Dayton’s feelings for you?” “Of course, I believe that he won’t fall for another woman.” Especially not an immature girl like Tia. Sharon pursed her lips without
“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
