Any onlooker could guess how anxious his face was based on his hurried footsteps.The camera cut to Penny, who was sitting in front of the stage. Penny had a worried look on her face as she stood up, supporting her belly. The way she looked on screen was that of an anxious wife being abandoned by her husband.The comments did a 180-degree turn from the original congratulatory tone."That's so awkward. I got slapped in the face right after wishing them a happy marriage.""Hands down! Can't they finish something before making more drama? I feel like a clown for getting jealous of them. (Grin) (Grin) (Grin)""I feel sorry for the beautiful lady. She's carrying a bun in her oven but the guy went after another woman. How pitiful!""You can attack the guy, but not my Ms. Lowe. She's the best! She wasn't loved by her parents but she managed to earn a living in the entertainment industry. Her husband is a scumbag, yet she received awards for her movies. Focus on your career, Ms. Lowe!
"I didn't get to see her, but I have a feeling … that it was her."His target was gone by the time he ran out. However, he wasn't willing to give up and followed his gut feeling to where it brought him, just like that time when he felt a connection to her among a crowd of people when they were overseas.He had chased after her up till here and suddenly didn't know where he should go next. So, he could only sit here helplessly and pray for God's mercy to let him see his sister one more time.Penny started to feel sore after standing for some time. She took Sam's hand and sat down. In a gentle voice, she said, "Isn't that a good thing? Although you didn't see Becca, at least you got a lead and some news. Maybe it'll be a reunion the next time you meet."She looked up and saw that Sam still had a disappointed look on his face. She squeezed his hand. "It's been four years. It'll be a joyous event the next time you meet. It'll have been a long four years."Sam looked at his wife's gent
"Could you let us have a look at them first?" Sam could recognize the man's accent and decided to converse in the man's native tongue as he wasn't fluent in the local language. Sam's voice sounded like butter. It was so smooth that it could transport its listener to an opera hall where, despite not being able to see the singer's face clearly, just hearing his voice would be enough to astound anyone who listened.Penny, who was used to hearing him speak, finally understood the meaning of having an eargasm. She thought of something and her ears started to flush red with embarrassment. She was lucky that they were too focused on the photographs to look at her."Here's what I captured earlier of you and your missus. It's not a paparazzi shot. Your image gave me so much strength and warmth that I just had to take it. If these pictures can't be published, then I'll print them out and give them to you before deleting the digital copy. If possible, I would like to … ""You don't have to p
The family group that was usually quiet due to everyone's busy schedule was suddenly very active. Almost all the messages came at the same time, asking Sam where he got the picture from.It had been four long years and each lead was disappointing. They had subconsciously accepted a heartbreaking end to the narrative, but they continued to lie to and numb themselves in the process of finding her. Now that this photograph had surfaced, it pulled them out of their dismal state and told them that their efforts in the past years weren't in vain.Sam didn't hide his source. Penny, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took over his phone and relayed the whole incident while Sam was driving. Very soon, a voice message appeared in the group chat. It was Zelda trying to hold back her tears. "Sammy, you've found Becca, right? Where is she now? Give me the address. I'll ask Albert to send me over."Sam and Penny felt sad listening to Zelda choking over her sobs. After a moment of silence,
"What's … his problem?" The blue-eyed youth looked back at Rebecca. Rebecca was equally shocked by the loud slam. She was stunned for a moment. She shook her head and asked the man, "I don't know. Did you make him angry while I wasn't around?""Honey, you know I wouldn't dare! You're the only person in Seardale who would dare do something as stupid as pissing him off, and you're asking me if I did that?" The man looked at her in disbelief.He continued. "He must've been angry because you snuck out."Rebecca defended herself confidently. "Nonsense. I snuck out many times in Seardale but he never reacted this way before."She had been sneaking out while in Seardale but she always managed to placate David.The man thought on her words and nodded in agreement. "That's true …"Seardale wasn't safe and they had made many enemies. Although no one dared to provoke them, conflicts were inevitable when they had been taking over other gangs' turf and businesses. The loyalty of those peo
"I'm telling you, it's not right for you to be this angry," Rebecca said to David. She was sitting upright on the couch, fully awake now. "I was invited to the event. It's not like I was doing anything wrong. It's because you didn't allow me to go. That's why I went on my own. I'm not a child anymore. Besides, my career is making progress. You shouldn't keep coddling me at home."If anyone had a reason to be angry, it should be her. She used her abilities to showcase her jewelry designs in the market, yet he insisted on accompanying her everywhere.If that was the case, why not leave her in Seardale? Why bother bringing her here?David took in her solemn expression and pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly."Yes, it's my fault," he said in a low, gentle tone as if coaxing a child to sleep. After a pause, he explained, "I just returned to the country, and there are some matters I haven't handled yet. I didn't want you to go because I was worried you might get into trouble. "
Meanwhile, the VIP building at the hospital was usually bustling, with people always coming and going. While this private hospital was expensive, there was still a demographic who could afford it.For the past month, the entire building had been reserved. Even if another person offered a lot of money, patients in the building could only be transferred to another hospital or somewhere else.The nurses and doctors in the hospital were also clueless about the identity of the person staying there. They only knew that the patient was old and had been transferred from Clarkdale. The patient probably didn't have long.Nevertheless, for this last stage of life, they had chosen a place with beautiful scenery, opting for this private hospital in Fairport. Outside the window was a deep blue sky and white clouds. The landscaping at the base of the hospital building was also one of the best in the area. A few years ago, a movie crew had come to shoot at their hospital because of its unique sce
A nurse came to remind the patient to rest. David ended his chat with George. He got up and pulled a blanket over George and casually said, "Not yet, so you'd better live a little longer. Otherwise, you won't get to see your great-grandchild."George shot him a glance. "You brat. I just praised you a little, and you're getting carried away."Although George's voice was still unclear, his temper was evident. He seemed livelier than before.David smiled and allowed the caretaker to take over before leaving the ward with his bodyguards.The corridor was filled with the scent of disinfectant. It felt much colder compared to the ward where there were still signs of life.David didn't rush to leave, and he turned back to look at the ward for a moment.For some reason, he suddenly felt a bit reluctant to leave.He placed his hand on his chest. Human emotions were swirling within him.He used to think that emotions were the most useless thing in the world. Other than being burdenso
