Feeling something about to come up from her throat, she rushed into the bathroom.After closing the bathroom door, she couldn't hold back the liquid in her throat and vomited into the sink.The sink was splattered with patches of fresh blood which looked like bright red plum blossoms blooming in the
The doctor responded, "About two hours."Lewis nodded and led Josephine back to the ward. The room was quiet, and even with Lewis by her side, Josephine felt terribly lonely.She hated this place.Josephine climbed back into bed, wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, and reached for the mirror und
"Presently, the most critical issue lies with her lungs. We can address the remaining problems gradually." "Can she be cured?""It's hard to say. Josephine's lung function is impaired, and even if we manage to treat it, there might be complications.""Moreover, her central nervous system has also s
The guests gradually dispersed. Some helped Nancy out as they were leaving.Minutes later, only four people remained in front of the tombstone.Among them were Lewis and Conrad, accompanied by Seth and Kiran.They stood in silence, none of them uttering a word. Nobody knew whether they were cherishi
Seth observed the change in her expression and remained silent with a smile.They sat in the car for a while, and as the night fell, Sophia finally drove back to the city.Meanwhile, Josephine woke up in the hospital to find herself hooked up to an IV. After getting checked yesterday, the hospital s
Bewildered, Josephine lifted her head and looked at the man with teary eyes. She didn't recognize this person.Quintin noticed her confused expression and felt a bit puzzled. "Don't tell me you don't recognize me again." Quintin stared at her strangely. It had only been a few days, and she had forg
The coldness in Lewis' eyes startled the woman who spoke.She was about to say something before she heard him ask, "Which way did she run?""That way." The woman pointed to the left.Lewis didn't bother to pay her any attention and immediately turned to run in that direction.Josephine exited throug
Josephine paused in her steps. "What do you need to prepare?""We need to get a lot of things ready. Anyway, come upstairs with us first. We'll take you home later."The two men leered at her, thinking about what they would do to her when they got upstairs. They believe Josephine wouldn't know what
"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
