Josephine fell silent for a couple of seconds, then she opened the door and got into the car.Lewis was next to her. She could clearly sense his gaze on her. It was as if he wanted to cut her to pieces.Josephine hung her head. She didn't dare look up at Lewis's expression.Fortunately, Lewis said n
After she struggled for a little while, Lewis grabbed her collar and yanked her out of the water.She desperately gasped for air, and quite a bit of water came out of her nose and mouth."Tell me, was it by choice?" Lewis asked again.Josephine opened her eyes, but her vision was blurred by the wate
Josephine was having a fever.She was burning up at a temperature higher than she had ever had in the past—108.5°F. The doctor was shocked beyond measure when he saw the number.The doctor frantically applied physical methods of cooling and administered antipyretic drugs. In short, he gave her all t
Lewis got up and walked out. When he got to the door, he looked back and said to the doctor, "Take good care of her."The doctor nodded in a daze.Lewis left without looking back anymore.The doctor sighed deeply, then collapsed on the chair and looked at the unconscious Josephine with a pitiful gaz
Lewis remained silent.The argument exhausted Sierra, but because her drink had been spiked, she couldn't help wriggling around and moaning. Any man would have given in to their sexual urges upon seeing her in that state. However, Lewis didn't waver, his expression still stoic as he drove to the ho
"Oh, by the way, your phone kept ringing. It seems like someone's been texting you. Why don't you take a look?" The doctor handed Josephine's phone to her.Upon accepting it, Josephine scrolled through the message notifications, unsurprised that they were all from Avery. The latter had asked how muc
Lewis moved quietly but noticeably enough to shock the two.Upon seeing him rush in, Josephine's eyelashes trembled. She had dreamed of his face countless days and nights, so his sudden arrival left her breathless. Deep down, she was happy with dying young because she wouldn't have to suffer for lon
Josephine still shook her head. Despite that, Lewis grabbed her arm and forced her to sit before bringing a spoonful of porridge to her tightly shut mouth. "Behave and open up now."Josephine turned the other way with a huff."Josephine!" Lewis thundered, his voice abruptly taking on a tone of mali
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lewis asked.Josephine snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I didn't think—""Didn't think what? Your parents are my parents. It's only fair that I give a proper gesture to my parents. What's so shocking about that?"Josephine had never heard him say su
"Well, we should visit your parents first—show them their grandkids. Plus, I don't think we need to return to Elysium anymore. We'll bring Serena over once we settle down. Let's stay here for a while," Lewis answered.Josephine nodded. She agreed that it was unnecessary to go back there since the co
Seth shot the former the side eye like he was looking at an idiot.Daxtor felt offended at once. His face darkened to his usual sternness. "Why? Are you unwilling to accept your actual identity?"Seth replied, "I hear the Leigh family is in trouble. I don't want to join a sinking ship.""About that.
Daxtor stopped reminiscing and cut to the chase. "Your mother was my first love. I'm probably hers, too."The two had dated when they were in school. They had deep feelings for each other, but their social statuses were too different. Daxtor had tried retaliating against his family and convincing h
Seth came in secret. Some things were easier to do here than in their home country. Still, doing so came with some risks. He said, "You two can forget about having a peaceful life if I hadn't come here. How do you plan to repay me, Lewis?"Lewis responded, "You can go home. We don't need you here."
Lewis fell silent. "Not so soon."Josephine didn't understand. "Do you have any matters left to resolve? Or ..."Or did he want to stay here? It seemed like they didn't have a place to return to.They didn't have a house in Hardington. Apart from the villa in Styx Mansion, nothing else belonged to t
The sudden blast created a disturbance, making the image tremble as static sounds disrupted the audio.The next moment, the signal was interrupted, and the TV screen went black.Although the screen had turned dark, Josephine had keenly noticed that something had exploded in the court.Blood scattere
Josephine didn't have much to do these days. Lewis was rarely home. Alone, she felt bored. Avery didn't want to visit her either.Avery wasn't on good terms with Lewis. So she tried to avoid running into him.Josephine didn't know what Lewis was up to. Avery seemed to have no acquaintances here but
