Josephine was crying uncontrollably. She couldn't argue back at all.Seth's voice echoed in her mind. He said she deserved to die, but he was right. She had forgotten her own parents. Of course, she deserved to die.Looking at her sitting on the ground in a sorrowful state, Seth sneered. The mocking
The doctor paused briefly and said, "It's still important to observe her closely. It's my first time encountering such a case, so anything is possible.""What do you mean?" Lewis asked.The doctor explained, "It means her condition may continue to deteriorate or remain stable. And, of course, it's n
"I'll be right back, okay?"Lewis' voice was gentle, like coaxing a child. Josephine pursed her lips, her fingers still tightly clasping his.Lewis pondered for a moment before turning and walking out.Josephine stared at his figure, watching as he opened the door before closing it.She bit her lip,
Hands in his pocket, Lewis glanced at Conrad sideways. Conrad felt that Lewis was looking down on him again.He smiled awkwardly.Lewis said, "This is a privately-owned hospital where Alvarez Corp is a shareholder. If they were able to retrieve the information for you, it can't be genuine.""Why is
Lewis' lips tightened as he stared intently at Josephine. Concern, sadness, and self-blame filled her sparkling eyes.However, there was one thing missing—desire.Slightly worn out, Lewis raised his hand to pinch his brow. "It's fine."Little did he know that the moment those words escaped his lips,
Josephine nodded in agreement and watched him leave the room.Outside, it was completely dark.She walked to the window and looked at the fireworks blossoming in the night sky. She leaned against the window, and her whole body pressed against it.A festive atmosphere filled the place. Delicate strin
"Mr. Berg, it was an accident." Irritated, Conrad said, "I think you're the real accident here. What an idiot!"Conrad hung up the phone in anger.He paced back and forth outside the hospital room but didn't dare to go inside. He had messed up the situation and had no idea how to fix it.Lewis had
Anyone in her position would feel resentful.Josephine nestled in Lewis' arms and soon drifted off to sleep. She always had dreams when she slept. This time was no exception.She dreamt of a cemetery where her parents emerged from their tombstones. Like Seth, they whispered curses at her.They said,
"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
