“Miss, does that mean you and Uncle will meet again someday?” Sebastian was always looking for an opportunity to set them up.Candace said to him in an easy and relaxed manner, “That’s right.” Afterward, she turned around to enter her front door with a smile.Sebastian crossed his hands over his chest and nudged Claude with his elbow, saying, “Uncle, it seems like your heroic act worked this time. Miss Candace has a good impression of you now, so you didn’t get injured for nothing.”Something seemed to freeze in Claude’s eyes, and there was zero expression of joy on his face.A person like him could lose their life on any given day. It would be better for him not to drag a nice girl into this. He was more suitable to be on his own.…When Candace was in class the next day, a police officer came looking for her. She felt a throb in her heart.Sebastian secretly followed them and hid behind a corner in the corridor, listening to the police officer questioning her.“We received a
In the hospital, Sharon had just come out of the doctor’s office. Her complexion appeared ashen, and there was a test report in her hand.She walked as though she was soulless as the doctor’s words echoed inside her head.“You can see from the result of the test that the child has inherited your gene…”The very thing she had been too terrified to face was now a reality. Sebastian had inherited the madness gene!However, the doctor said that the gene was not as obvious, just like hers. If nothing triggered him, he could live life like a normal person as the risk was not that high.It was just that the doctor had discovered something else during the examination. Sebastian seemed to have recessive aplastic anemia. He had no obvious symptoms yet, but he must be treated as soon as possible or it would be life-threatening.…Sebastian, who was in the corner of the hospital corridor, watched as the police officers came out of the ward and left.“Daddy, Uncle Claude, the police are gon
“I have to stay here and protect President Zachary.” Claude was relieved just knowing that she had been released from the police station.“My daddy is now under my protection. You go ahead.” Sebastian pushed him off.Claude was still refusing to leave until Simon spoke up, “Go ahead. I don’t need your protection at the moment.”Claude looked at the two and nodded. “Yes, sir.” It was as if he was merely following an order to pick Candace up.Sebastian and his daddy walked toward the entrance of the hospital. Sebastian sighed and said, “If it weren’t for me, Uncle Claude would be single for the rest of his life.”Simon glanced at his son and said with a half-smile, “I didn’t expect you to have the potential to be a matchmaker at such a young age.”“How can you say that, Daddy? Not just everyone will receive such great treatment from me.” He was not fond of getting called a matchmaker.When the two walked to the door, they just happened to bump into Sharon who was coming from the o
Sharon did not respond to him and quietly cleaned up the mess on the floor before getting up. She turned her back on him and fell silent again. Truthfully, her heart was no longer at peace.Simon was absolutely certain that she was hiding something from him.“Is it because of the hospital visit today? Are you sick?” This was the worst thing he could think of.Sharon could not contain herself any longer; her emotions were crumbling down as she tried to suppress her cries. Even her shoulders were twitching.Simon’s expression sank as he turned her around to face him. “What’s the matter? Tell me.” Was it a serious illness, perhaps?Sharon wanted to tell him, but she found it difficult to speak, so the only option was to pass him the test report.Simon took it and looked at it suspiciously. “What’s this?” It seemed like it was his son’s test report.“Can’t you see? Sebastian has inherited my family’s genes. Plus, he’s sick…” Sharon was choked up.He was not surprised that their son
The next day, they went to see the doctor together. The answer they got was still for them to have another child as it was the best option to cure Sebastian of his illness.After coming out of the hospital, the two sat in the car with a dull and depressing atmosphere shrouding them.“Simon, how about listening to the doctor? You should have another child…”“Shut up!” Simon’s expression looked extremely solemn, and his voice was icy. “I’ll find another doctor. There must be another option. You have to stop overthinking, and you’re not permitted to say another word about me having a child with another woman!”Sharon turned her head to the side and looked out the window. Her eyes were reddened now.…Sharon was so agitated that she went to talk to Riley.“What? How could Sebastian get such an illness?” Riley was extremely baffled upon hearing this.“What I’m worried about now is his treatment. Simon doesn’t accept the idea of looking for a surrogate to conceive another child…”“I
Perhaps Simon’s gaze was overly cold and sharp, so his stare sent shivers down her spine.Lena thought that she had said something wrong and quickly corrected herself, “No… Not cooperation. I just mean to say that I’ll work well alongside you… I’ll try my best to work well with you.”Simon’s eyes grew colder. He looked at Sharon and asked in a stern voice, “Why did you bring this person to me?” He could guess the reason at this point, but he wanted to hear Sharon say it herself.Hence, Sharon had to explain, “Simon, we’ve talked about this. For Sebastian’s sake, you have to have another baby, and Lena is—”“Enough! Shut up!” The look in Simon’s eyes was frighteningly cold. Did Sharon honestly not mind the fact that he would have a child with another woman? Not to mention, she even went out of her way to look for a woman for him!Sharon’s heart was throbbing in pain as well. This was truly not what she wanted for them, but she could not stand idly by and watch her son die…She swa
Penelope glanced at them coldly and asked with a chilly tone, “Weren’t the two of you quarreling so loudly earlier? Why aren’t you talking now? Did you become mute all of a sudden?”She stared at Sharon and said, “You. Tell me what happened to Sebastian.”“Didn’t you hear us? He’s sick and needs cord blood treatment.” Sharon could not hide the trace of fatigue in her eyes.“So? You want Simon to have a child with that woman? Why can’t you do it?” Penelope asked and suddenly remembered something as she looked at Sharon mockingly, saying, “Oh, I almost forgot about your lousy genes. If you have another baby, it’ll probably have the madness disease like you!”“Why are you here, Penelope?” Simon said abruptly. Her presence would only worsen the conflict between him and Sharon.“If I weren’t here today, would I even come to know that Sebastian is sick?” Penelope snorted angrily.She looked at Sharon again and somehow agreed with her approach. “You did well this time. Since you know th
Riley shook her head. She had no clue whether or not it was Jim, but he had never once shown up at her doorstep again after the last time.“If it’s him, please send him away for me. I don’t want to see him as it’ll affect my mood and the baby,” said Riley.Sharon could see from the door’s peephole that it was indeed Jim.When she opened the door, she did according to Riley’s order and said, “What are you doing? Don’t you know your presence will only annoy her? Go away!”Sharon was not in a good mood either, so she merely shut the door after saying these words.Jim blocked the door from closing with his hand.“I passed by the market today and saw fresh fish fillet, so I bought it. I’ll leave right after making her a meal.” Jim was carrying a bunch of ingredients in his hand.Sharon was a little surprised. She had no idea that the young rich master who needed servants to wait upon him could cook.“You can just say it out loud if you don’t care about Riley. It would help if you re
“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
