Vincent and Yannis could both afford to hire a caregiver.However, Yannis was worried that the caregiver might not be able to provide Vincent with proper care. So, she decided to take matters into her own hands.It was the first time in her life feeling this exhausted. Since she was young, she had been pampered by the Clarks. It was almost unbelievable that she was doing all the hands-on work.But, against all odds, Yannis did it!It was all because the person she was taking care of was Vincent. "Get out!"With a cold expression, Vincent put an end to Yannis' words.Yannis trembled, and her face fell.Finally, she put down the apple and fruit knife in her hand before forcing out a gentle smile. "Take care and rest well. I'll come see you again tomorrow." Vincent's expression remained indifferent as he watched Yannis leave, but he was struggling inside.As soon as the door closed, Vincent suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself."Damn it, I've messed up big time this

The air seemed to freeze for a moment inside the ward.Vincent looked at Cecily with confusion.Did Austin just comment on the incident in which he killed his father?He was puzzled. He didn't understand why Austin would say that.Since he had known Austin, Austin had never passed judgment on him for that incident. In fact, he had always shown understanding toward him.He wondered why Austin would suddenly judge him now.Cecily's eyes flickered. She seemed confused too.She knew the hidden reasons behind Vincent's actions.However, she had also heard from Vincent about Austin's viewpoint on the matter.If Austin thought Vincent was wrong to have committed patricide, he would never have taken Vincent under his wing.He wouldn't have risked his life to rescue Vincent from the Redmonts either!Austin hesitated, then he suddenly smiled."Don't mind me. I was just saying that. Filial piety is important, you know."That simple sentence made Vincent lower his head. His expression

Austin smiled."Never mind, you guys go ahead with your business. Don't bother to visit me. I'll definitely show up at your wedding looking snazzy."Vincent waved his hand and smiled."Rest well then."Cecily finally regained her composure. Still somewhat confused, she nodded at Vincent and left with Austin.Once the door was closed, Vincent's face fell. He inhaled sharply.The bandage on his chest was now seeping fresh crimson blood.It was torn open when he suddenly stood up earlier.Pressing his hand against the wound, Vincent smiled wryly. "I hope my guess is right. Or else, this blood would've been shed in vain."Although he was smiling, his eyes were filled with coldness.Outside the hospital, Cecily was still somewhat absent-minded. She tightly clutched onto the thing Vincent had given her.Vincent didn't mean to grab her. He had intended to give her something."Cecily, what's wrong?" Austin frowned, his expression serious."It's nothing." Cecily shook her head. "Le

Thick smoke billowed.Shattered pieces of debris and glass scattered across the ground.It was utterly chaotic.The overwhelming and pungent smell of leaking gasoline filled the air."Austin!"Cecily's face turned pale as she screamed in horror.She vividly felt a powerful force propelling her forward when the crash happened.Meanwhile, Austin, who was holding her, crashed through the Bugatti Veyron's windshield with a loud bang.He bore all the brunt of the impact.Austin had already let go of Cecily.His face was covered in blood. He was even bleeding from the nose.The sight terrified Cecily and instantly brought tears to her eyes."I-I'm fine..."Austin managed a wry smile.Just then, the doors of the two BMWs swung open simultaneously.Austin's expression turned solemn as he quickly warned, "Cecily, run! T-They must be from the Redmonts. Don't worry about me."While speaking, Austin turned around and forcefully kicked open the Bugatti Veyron's windshield before pul

Finally, Austin released his grip.The knife remained lodged in the attacker's abdomen. Shocked, the attacker slowly collapsed to the ground.The sudden turn of events sent the remaining seven men into a panic.Ignoring Austin and Cecily, they quickly lifted the stabbed man and carried him back to the BMWs. Then, they sped away in the damaged cars.In the blink of an eye, only Cecily, Austin, and the battered Bugatti Veyron remained on the desolate street.Thud!Austin's body swayed, and he slumped to the ground in exhaustion.Blood gushed out from the wound on his back.The collision and stabbing rendered him into a mess. His face was drained of color.Cecily stood frozen in place.She covered her lips with her hands to stifle any screams.Seeing Austin drenched in blood and his back marred by a gruesome wound, she felt as if she was struck by lightning.All her previous doubts vanished in an instant.If the guy before her wasn't Austin, why would he risk his life to prot

Brian is taking matters into his own hands. Austin is as good as dead now!""My goodness, who would have thought that the almighty Brian would personally join the fray?"…In The Grave Prison, it was a rule that management personnel shouldn't interfere during the prisoners' recreational time.Of course, if a staff member decided to step into the arena, the inmates would never stop them.In fact, they welcomed it.The staff usually held authority over the prisoners.Everybody in The Grave Prison was evil.

In an instant, Austin's expression turned blank.He was shaken by Brian's words. He couldn't snap out of it.The deafening cheers and roars in the hall seemed to have vanished into thin air.At this moment, Austin's gaze was fixed solely on Brian's smug and arrogant smile.Locked in this intense gaze, Austin felt as if Brian could see right through him. He began to panic."You're spacing out again." Suddenly, Brian sneered. His eyes shone brightly.Once again, the thunderous roar of the inmates filled Austin's ears.He shuddered violently, his eyes wide with terror.Before Austin could react, Brian exerted his power. His arms tensed up, and his muscles bulged. It looked like there were two pythons on his arms."The Python Trap!"With a loud roar, Brian forcefully swung his arms outward.Austin's face paled as he felt an immense force collide with his legs. He couldn't resist it.Instantly, Brian threw Austin's legs off his neck with brute force.Following that, Brian wra

Austin never expected that Nancy would come back.As he returned to the Tetra Club, he remained sullen, his eyes dark with unresolved anger.Seeing Austin like this, Cecily felt a pang of sadness.She gently tried to comfort him, "It's all in the past now, isn't it? I'm here with you, and we have our baby on the way.""I can't just let it go," Austin shook his head."The best I can do is not seek revenge against them, but to truly forgive and forget—I can't do that."The actions of Nancy's family were still fresh in his memory.Austin wasn't someone who sought revenge for every slight, but he was far from the kind of person who could simply forgive and forget, moving on with a carefree "Hallelujah."Dahlia's despair as she lay in bed, the arrogance and cruelty of the Welch family…In the eyes of the Welch family, Dahlia's life wasn't worth as much as Harvey's wedding.Even when the time had passed and he was about to finally be happy with Cecily, the Welch family not only dem

After leaving this city, Nancy put in a tremendous amount of effort to "rebirth" herself.Meeting Ethan had shown her a different side of life.While he wasn't part of the uppermost echelons of wealth and power, he had enough.

The river breeze was cool, and the lights reflected on the water flickered softly.The figure in front of them wore a long black coat, standing quietly by the railing. Her fair, delicate profile, partially obscured by a few strands of windblown hair, carried a hint of melancholy."Sir, Mrs. Campbell, is something wrong?" Aldus noticed the change and quickly stepped forward to inquire."Let's go home," Austin suddenly said, his previously cheerful expression now somber, with a touch of disdain.Go home? They had just arrived.Aldus was surprised and quickly followed Austin's gaze. When he saw what Austin was looking at, he immediately understood.Without a word, he turned to leave with Austin.But a soft hand gently grabbed Austin's arm."It's been so many years, aren't you going to say hello?" Cecily asked."I have no desire to greet her," Austin said, his disdain clear and unhidden.Three years of marriage, filled with nothing but pain.Even when Dahlia was gravely ill, Nan

After a busy day, just as Austin was about to finish up, a new invitation appeared on his desk."Who delivered this?" Austin asked."Ethan," Wolf replied.Austin chuckled, didn't bother opening the invitation, and instead tossed it directly into the trash."I've got to get home to Cecily."When he returned to the Bamboo Parlor at Tetra Club, Raquel had already prepared a delicious dinner.The dishes were beautifully presented, with vibrant colors and enticing aromas.After dinner, Austin and Ezra stepped out into the courtyard."Mr. Lockwood, any news from the Campbells about my dad?" Austin asked, the text message from Walter still weighing heavily on his mind.Considering the Campbells' efforts to find Walter, and given their intelligence resources, they should have been some leads by now.But Ezra shook his head. "Nothing, Not a trace.""The Campbells' intelligence network has never been this weak, has it?" Austin frowned, speaking in a low tone.Ezra gave a wry smile. "

"Childhood?"Austin stopped his workout, wiped the sweat from his face, and smiled bitterly.His childhood had been bleak.Only Dahlia had brought some light into the darkness.Seeing Austin's pained smile, Aldus immediately realized his mistake.He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Sir. I spoke without thinking. You don't need to answer that.""It's fine," Austin replied, gesturing towards a nearby bench, and inviting Aldus to sit with him.Once they were seated, Austin slowly began to speak. "There's not much to tell about my childhood. It was mostly just being called an 'illegitimate child' and living day to day, never knowing where my next meal would come from."If it weren't for my mom fighting tooth and nail to raise me, I'd probably be dead by now."With just a few simple words, he conveyed a world of suffering.Aldus felt a wave of guilt. He had only been trying to find clues from Austin's past that might explain his exceptional combat instincts and incredible physical

Austin's gaze softened as warmth flooded his heart.Who hasn't longed for a light left on just for them in a sea of lights? But in reality, how many actually have that?Cecily did that for him.Given her background, the fact that she went to such lengths truly surprised Austin.In the three years he spent in the past, he had never experienced something like this.His nose tingled with emotion as he pulled Cecily into his arms, speaking softly, "Thank you. Marrying you is the greatest fortune of my life.""Alright, alright, I asked Raquel to prepare breakfast earlier this morning. You go to the dining room, and I'll have her bring it over," Cecily said as she gently slipped out of Austin's embrace, her graceful smile lighting up her eyes."Doesn't Bamboo Parlor have a kitchen?" Austin asked, curious.Cecily gave him a playful look. "The chairs in the living room are so hard, and you spent the whole night on one—how could you have slept well? If Raquel had been clattering around

The room fell into a heavy silence."Deactivating the phone number… was Dad trying to prevent me from tracking his location?" Austin murmured with a frown.Ezra pondered for a moment, his voice low and serious. "Perhaps he was more concerned about someone else tracking him."Austin's eyes widened in realization.Of course—if Walter could send him a message to let him know he was safe, he wouldn't be worried about Austin tracking himDeactivating the phone was likely to prevent others from tracing his location."But who is he trying to avoid?"Ezra shook his head, remaining silent.Having followed Walter for many years, he knew the man's temperament and habits. But this time, he was truly baffled.He couldn't even begin to piece together a clue.Taking a deep breath, Ezra forced a bitter smile. "I'm afraid I'm at a loss this time, sir. There's no sign of anything unusual from the Campbells either."This statement only deepened Austin's confusion.If there were anyone who cou

Austin knocked softly on the door.Almost immediately, he heard the sound of shuffling from inside.Ezra opened the door, his face full of curiosity. "Sir, what's going on?"Austin quickly made a shushing gesture, worried about disturbing Cecily.Then he gently pushed Ezra back into the room."Sorry to bother you so late, Mr. Lockwood," Austin said.Ezra smiled. "It's no trouble at all. The older you get, the less you need. I was just reading."Austin glanced at the book on Ezra's bedside table and couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.This old rascal!Ezra blushed and quickly shoved the book under his pillow.Austin sat on the bed and pulled up the text message from Walter, showing it to Ezra."I just received this message."When Ezra read the text, his eyes lit up with a sharp gleam, and he was overjoyed.
