When they arrived, Camellia was on top of Herman, punching him repeatedly, the fierceness in her punches sending shivers down Antonio and Mr. Marcus's spines.Suddenly, Herman kicked her fiercely in the stomach, causing Camellia to fall backward, almost landing on a piece of shattered glass. Rose moved forward to catch her, but Herman was quicker, cleverly grabbing her hand to help them both stand up from the ground. As they stood up, they both threw punches at each other, the impact intense, causing both of them to step back simultaneously.Rose supported her waist as Camellia struggled to stand upright, both of them panting heavily, looking disheveled.Herman's once handsome face was now a mess from the beating, and Camellia wasn't faring any better.Seeing Herman's expression, everyone knew he had returned to his original state.Truly a world of difference."You guys are quite intense," Antonio's voice was calm, witnessing Camellia being beaten like this for the first time, he foun
Jessica sat alone in the courtyard, Henry had wanted to accompany her, but it was already very late, Jessica told him to go back to sleep, so Henry could only go back to his room to rest. The night was hot, with hardly any breeze, and the outdoor temperature was unbearable, even wearing short sleeves, one would feel too hot. Unexpectedly, Jessica's limbs were ice cold, with thin cold sweat on her forehead, feeling no warmth at all.A penetrating coldness from the inside out, extremely uncomfortable, this feeling was like when Saxon told her she had a virus, waiting for Mr. Marcus to arrive.She was very scared.The night grew darker, already in the early hours of the morning, she thought several times about going to the study, but was afraid to approach, she knew all too well what it looked like when the virus acted up.When she had an outbreak, the pain was unbearable, she always felt like enduring was hard, but she wouldn't have to endure for long, Saxon would give her medication to
The days passed quickly, and before they knew it, seven days had gone by.Camellia's injuries had healed completely, with no bruises visible on her face. She had made a full recovery, and Henry joked that his aunt was like an unkillable cockroach, recovering so quickly.After almost having her wrist ruined by Herman last time, Camellia's recovery was surprisingly swift this time as well.They might have expected her to have some sense of loss or emotional turmoil, but since waking up, Camellia had been smiling brightly, behaving just as she always had, showing no signs of distress. It was as if she had never encountered Herman at all.She hadn't mentioned Herman or Darling at all. It seemed as if that person had vanished forever from her world, with nothing worth mentioning. They had to deal with the matters of the First Terrorist Organization, and since they weren't in management positions, Camellia and Rose decided to stay in Jeddah.During this time, everything remained calm on the
"Is there still no sign of Brother Marcus awakening?" Camellia suddenly asked. She hadn't gone to the laboratory in these days, focusing on healing.Jessica hadn't gone either, ever since Edward mentioned feeling troubled by a woman, she was waiting for news without disturbing them in the lab.But she knew Mr. Marcus still hadn't woken up."Not yet, Edward said he'll stay like this until a cure is developed, relying on nutrients and sedatives, and those reagents I don't understand." Jessica smiled, she has gone from worried to calm."Brother Marcus is really going through a lot." Camellia felt some heartache. If she were to say who she loves most in this world, it's definitely not Darling, not Herman, but Mr. Marcus.Jessica shared the same sentiment. Everyone understood that Mr. Marcus's life was hanging by a thread, the seven-day deadline had passed, and he could only rely on medications to keep his heartbeat. Although she felt sorry for him, she felt helpless. Why was she fine whil
Miss Jessica's smile twisted slightly, and stiffened for a moment.Rose remained calm.Camellia turned around and gently patted Henry's head, imparting some heartfelt advice, "Good boy, you definitely aren't a homosexual, so you don't need to know."Henry cutely tilted his head, smiling brightly, with an innocent look on his face. Although he didn't understand exactly what "homosexual" meant, he knew it wasn't a pure term, judging by the reactions of the women around him."Mommy always says learning is endless.""Henry, you must understand that not everything the elders teach is completely correct, otherwise there wouldn't be so many criminals in the world," Camellia said earnestly.Oh, she wasn't calm anymore.Rose shook her head, quite puzzled, "Herman doesn't have any influence on you at all? You still have the mind to compete with Edward?"This woman, she is becoming more and more secretive now."What's he compared to, what can he possibly offer compared to Edward? I'm really deva
"Easy fix then, break your leg, you can still detoxify while sitting in a wheelchair. It's about your brain, not your feet.""Aunt, you're ruthless!" Henry gave a thumbs up.Antonio just ignored the comment. The maid brought them abalone soup, each was served a portion,Elva said, "This was given to Master by the princess last time. It tastes delicious. Master asked me to prepare it for you all to taste."Camellia propped her head and said with a smile, "Elva, your words are getting sweeter. Edward wouldn't order such a thing, you must have taken the initiative.""Miss Camellia, you are smart." Elva smiled. Her black veil only revealed a pair of shining brown eyes, coy and timid, very beautiful. Even though her full appearance couldn't be seen, judging from these eyes alone, Elva was definitely a beauty.Camellia laughed. Edward was simple, not a fan of seafood.Moreover, being sent by the princess, it must be a good thing."This taste is kinda weird," Miss Jessica fanned herself and w
Jessica nervously clenched her fists, her heart beating wildly. This pregnancy felt different from the last time with Henry, there was more fear this time. She feared she wouldn't be able to keep this child.Camellia sensed her thoughts and gently said, "Don't worry too much, Sister-in-law, the virus will be gone tomorrow. The child is still small, maybe when your virus is gone, the child's virus will also be gone. Even if the child doesn't make it, it's okay to terminate the pregnancy. You and Brother Marcus are young, there will be plenty of opportunities to have children in the future."Henry's pink face showed reluctance, "I want to have a little brother or sister.""We also want that, but they have to be healthy," Camellia said, feeling a bit heavy-hearted. Using common sense, she could tell without even checking that this baby wouldn't make it.Jessica also thought about this, her face losing its brightness, her eyes dull, a touch of pain crossing her expression. Must she really
Edward's estate resembled an ancient noble mansion with modern and traditional design elements. Edward's secluded garden was like a small courtyard.The exterior of the house had a classical design, giving off an air of luxury. The walls were made of white jade, with glazed tiles for the roof. There were many white jade lotus-shaped lights under the eaves, creating an elegant atmosphere.The courtyard was filled with various exotic flowers and plants. Antonio couldn't identify most of them at first glance, but upon closer inspection, even a random purple-blue flower, he couldn't name it.The exotic scents in the courtyard were refreshing and invigorating."What kind of flower is this?" Antonio crouched down curiously, examining it.It looked a bit like a rose but not quite, a purple-blue rose he had never seen before.He reached out curiously, about to touch it, when he heard Edward's distinct, crisp voice carried by the night wind, "If you don't want to die, you better not touch that
