Many children nowadays actually understand that the dead are buried beneath the graves.Angel opened her big eyes, which were clear and naive.Such a look, who wouldn't feel heartache upon seeing it?Lewis forced himself to sit up, leaning against the tombstone, his hand stroking it, not knowing how to explain to his daughter.Angel looked at Louis again, "Who is underneath this?"Louis really didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Lewis.Angel's gaze then shifted to Avery, wanting an answer from him.But no one had the heart to tell Angel such a cruel answer.Just when everyone found it hard to speak, Angel reached out her small hand to touch the tombstone and asked softly, "Is my mother buried here?"Angel's words shocked the three of them. How did Angel know?Could it be that there is truly a mother-daughter connection?Seeing that the adults were all silent, Angel suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, it's mommy, I want my mommy."Angel cried her heart out, and Lewis held his daugh
Hannah was worried and wanted to find Lewis.She called the grandmother and only then learned that Lewis was hospitalized in the hospital next door.Taking advantage of the fact that neither Kim nor Guy were in the hospital, Hannah removed the IV needle from the back of her hand and was about to sneak out.However, just as she stepped out of the room, Kim returned from outside: "Sister, where are you going?""I..." Hannah stammered.Kim immediately guessed: "You want to find Lewis? I forbid you to go. You just had surgery. What are you going to do looking for Lewis? He already knows you're not Judy. If he gets angry and hurts you, what then?"Hannah said, "But I can't hide either. Lewis is ill, and everything is because of me. I should go. I owe it to Judy.""You don't owe anyone anything. Judy couldn't have been saved anyway. Even if you hadn't used Judy's heart, someone else would have," Kim said, "Anyway, I won't let you go.""Kim, why are you so heartless?" Hannah got angry, "Judy
As Hannah said, even if it was a heart-wrenching pain, Lewis would still want to listen. He wanted to know what Judy experienced before her death.Hannah continued, "Judy was afraid of dying because she couldn't bear to leave you and Angel, but we did our best, and the doctors were helpless. She didn't want to die in the hospital; it seemed she was very averse to hospitals. After the doctor said there was no hope, she asked us to take her away, so I took her home, and she passed away in the attic room...""At that time, I promised her to fulfill her last wishes. She couldn't let go of you and Angel, so I went to your side, impersonated Judy, and took care of you and Angel in her place. But I couldn't do it, and in the end, I chose to make you dislike me, to give up on the marriage voluntarily."Hannah paused for a moment and gave a bitter smile, "Judy died when you loved her the most. You will never be able to let go of her for the rest of your life. Judy thought that if you didn't lo
The helicopter arrived in Birmingham and landed in the backyard of Lewis's villa, where Lewis disembarked carrying the urn."Judy, we're home," he whispered softly, his tone gentle.The others also got off the helicopter, and Antonio, who had already received the news, had prepared a memorial hall at home.After a year, Judy finally returned, but in such a manner.Antonio was waiting at home, and it was only when he saw Lewis holding the urn and getting off the helicopter that he truly believed Judy had passed away, and what Isabella had said on the phone was true.Soon after,The news of Judy's death spread, shocking everyone. How could someone who was fine before suddenly pass away?In the eyes of outsiders, Judy was a person who had survived a shipwreck.Steven also received the news and quickly went to Lewis's house.A memorial hall was set up, with a coffin placed in the hall, and Judy's urn was placed inside the coffin.Lewis invited high monks to perform a funeral service for J
Serina subconsciously glanced at Lewis, who was standing in front of Judy's tombstone. Could it be for him?During these days, Lewis had been very quiet, and his daily routine was to perform the funeral rites for Judy and accompany her on her final journey.He no longer shed tears, but he also had no smile, as if he were just an empty shell.People lined up to offer flowers in their hands, stood in silence in front of Judy's grave for a few seconds, and then walked away, one after another. The funeral lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning.Lewis unexpectedly spoke, addressing his grandmother, "Grandma, let everyone go back. I'll stay here a little longer to keep Judy company."He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when Lewis finally did, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it had changed a bit.The grandmother's eyes were moist, and she nodded in agreement, asking Antonio to see the relatives and friends off.People gradually left, and in the end, only a few people, including Serena,
Judy awoke in the hotel's large bed and opened her eyes to see the man beside her; flashes of the previous night’s passionate encounter flooded her mind, leaving her utterly bewildered.She had slept with none other than the influential power player of Birmingham, the owner of Keller Group, Lewis, who was also her immediate boss.Rumor had it that any woman who dared climb into Lewis’s bed seeking to become his wife would end up disappearing without a trace in Birmingham, meeting no good end.Judy was still young; she wanted to live a few more years.It was best to leave early.Before Lewis woke up, Judy tiptoed out of bed, picked up her torn clothes from the floor—evident of last night's intense situation—and got dressed.Sleeping with Lewis had been an accident. There was a company dinner downstairs in the hotel restaurant; she drank too much and got dizzy.She had thought it was all a vivid dream, forgetting the details of the prior evening and how she ended up in this room, only h
With a slight squint of his deep, narrow eyes, Lewis recalled the crying and pleading of a woman from the night before, her allure almost irresistible, stirring an inner urge to dominate.The dim lighting, the effects of alcohol and drugs, had clouded his memory; he could not recall her face, only the long black hair, her softness, and the light scent of mint.Thirty years of “none-sex life” ended that night for Lewis, like a slumbering beast awakened, the consequences being self-evident.At a business soirée, Lewis had been drugged. Amidst his discomfort back at the hotel, a woman had burst in, and in his state, he spared no thought but promised recompense. Waking up, the woman was gone."Mr. President," his assistant Leo entered, a hint of panic in his demeanor.Lewis, with a chill in his expression, handed over a resume to Leo: "Find this woman. Don't scare her. Check her background. Also, terminate all cooperation with Starlight Group."Don't scare her? His tone, almost tender.Le
Judy's legs were trembling; she dared not even lift her head.She wished she could find a hole to disappear into.Did Lewis recognize her?Judy was extremely nervous, her eyes glued to Lewis's shiny shoes. Whenever he took a step forward, she subconsciously retreated a step back.The faint smell of mint on her body involuntarily drew Lewis closer and triggered some memories from the previous night.Suddenly, Lewis's hand reached towards her chest. Startled, Judy looked up sharply, her hands defensively covering her chest, glaring at Lewis with wary eyes: "President, President Lewis..."Despite Judy's stuttering, she resembled a bristled wild cat showing her sharp claws. Lewis would bet that if he took another step closer, this wild cat would bite.Lewis's gaze scrutinized Judy from head to toe: fair skin, heavy bangs plus black-frame glasses, making it hard to see her whole face, jeans and shirt, the epitome of shabbiness, and a red hair tie on her wrist.Judy's first impression on Le
