In the grip of an intense fever, Harriet muttered, "So cold... so painful... Delbie… help me..." Harriet felt very uncomfortable, deliriously dreaming and burning with agonizing pain."Delbie, don't... don't leave me," she pleaded.Delbert, unable to discern her words, leaned in closer, hoping to catch her faint murmurs. Finally understanding, he realized Harriet was dreaming about their childhood.Looking at her pained expression, Delbert felt a deep sense of distress.If only he hadn't been sent back to the Carlson family, he could have surely protected his little girl, preventing her from encountering Vernon and enduring such deception and harm.After tucking Harriet in, Delbert rose to call Yuri and Selena once more. However, as he moved, a small, scalding hand tightly grabbed his big one.In the throes of her high fever, Harriet suddenly seized his hand, the memories in her dream intermittent.Despite her muddled mind, she knew that was Delbie, the most important perso
"Delbert!"Yuri intentionally cleared his throat, alerting him to his presence.Delbert suddenly became aware, swiftly withdrawing his hand. Feeling guilty as if caught doing something wrong, he gave an awkward light cough and greeted them, "Ahem, you arrived just in time. Come and check on her." Selena put down her medical kit and began to examine Harriet.Fortunately, Harriet only had a fever and cold, and the wounds had not worsened. Selena prescribed fever-reducing and cold medicine for her, instructing Delbert to make sure she took it on time. After Selena professionally packed up the medical kit, Yuri said fearlessly with a grin, "Delbert, I've noticed you've become more considerate lately, knowing how to take care of a girl. Quite an improvement. Congratulations!" "Get lost!" Delbert kicked his butt. "All right, I'm going. I won't interrupt your time with Harriet. "Yuri quickly took the medical kit from Selena and carefully assisted his two-month-pregnant fiancée in
Delbert's Adam's apple moved up and down, and his eyes were obscure.Looking at Harriet's moist red lips, he swallowed. He knew he couldn't resist her charm at all. Her body was so alluring to him, making his mouth dry. But Harriet was in fever now. If he touched her, he would be no different from Vernon, the fraud. Harriet quickly put the clean pajamas on her, tucked her in again, and immediately walked out. He came to the guest bedroom, took a cold shower, and lay on the bed, but the girl's beautiful figure kept appearing in his mind until dawn before he fell asleep... The next morning, Harriet woke up from one nightmare after another.When she woke up, it was already ten in the morning. But she couldn't remember what she had dreamt of last night.Those intermittent memories were horrible, tormenting her with a splitting headache and difficulty breathing. Now, the servant had drawn the curtains in the bedroom. Warm sunlight poured in through the window, brightenin
Delbert pursed his thin lips, his narrow eyes deep and mysterious."What? Unwilling?" "I... I'm willing."Of course, Harriet was willing. As long as Delbert wasn't angry, anything was acceptable. After giving her a deep look, Delbert left the bedroom.Despite her challenging interactions with Delbert, Harriet remembered to keep an eye on her revenge plan. As expected, Nora, afraid to confront Delbert directly, released a clarification statement today. The statement revealed that her title as the top medical genius in Meawood City was false and that the true genius was her foolish sister, Harriet. Even the outstanding thesis she graduated with from Meawood Medical University was written by Harriet. This clarification caused a commotion on Twitter. Although Nora had experienced embarrassment at the Carlson family's engagement banquet not long ago, many of her fans had defended her.They claimed that she only dressed that way to avoid overshadowing her sister, Harriet,
"Don't try to meddle in my affair! Get lost!" Since that incident, every time Nora saw Bessie, memories of her mistreatment by those men on the illicit ship would resurface. She thought she was dirty and nauseous, intensifying her hatred towards Bessie. She angrily shook off Bessie's hand and shouted at her, asking her to leave. If Bessie had recognized her in time and hadn't given those human traffickers that evil order, how could she have been… by them? "Nora…"Bessie, worried about her, tried to reach for her hand."Don't touch me. Go away!"Provoked, Nora forcefully pushed Bessie away, causing her to stumble and hit the table corner. Bessie's forehead split open, and she saw stars as blood came out of the sizable cut. Nora, though briefly sympathetic, quickly dismissed it. Bessie barely managed to steady herself against the table. "Okay, I won't disturb you. Have a good rest. Don't let those online comments get to you. I'll find a way to deal with it!" After com
Harriet realized it and instinctively responded with a firm "No!"At her response, Delbert narrowed his eyes slightly. In an instant, he cooled down from his fury.Harriet got up, approached him, and softly called, "Delbert!"Delbert let her get closer without saying a word.Harriet walked up to him, held his sturdy waist, and tilted her head to look at him, her pink and tender face a little red in the sunlight.She said softly, "Delbert, I'm not thinking a bit about Vernon, the rotten apple. You're the only one in my heart!" After saying that, she, thinking it was not enough, added solemnly, "I swear!" As soon as Delbert heard that, the coldness between his brows vanished, with his face even appearing a little warm.Since Harriet had sworn to him, no matter how angry he was, he should let it go. Even though Vernon would always hold a place in her heart, he accepted it, as long as she was happy."Okay, I believe in you."He touched Harriet's head and then her white, tende
"What's wrong, Delbert?"Before Harriet could grasp what was happening, a gentle tug from Delbert caused her to settle onto his lap instantly!He withdrew his heated hand, now using it to caress her delicate face tenderly. Treating it as if it were a cherished gem, he was unwilling to let go. Simultaneously, his other hand quietly encircled her slender waist. Harriet's heart was pounding. Now, Delbert's handsome face was just inches away, and his breath was scorching her neck.Trapped in his arms, she could clearly feel his burning heat through the fabric of his suit pants, and the pleasant scent of cold wood rosin drifted into her nostrils.Her face blushed unconsciously, resembling the colors of the evening sky. Even during their sexual intercourse in the Munoz family’s villa that night, she had not been as nervous."Delbert, stop it. I'll have to give you a massage."Embarrassed, Harriet tried to get up, but Delbert abruptly pressed her down and held her in his arms. "Do
Delbert was stunned, as if struck by a current. Harriet started teasing him again.Her nose was elegantly straight. As she looked at him, her mouth puckered slightly, looking incredibly cute. "Delbert, you're getting bolder. How dare you play tricks on me?" Delbert's scorching breath gently brushed past her ear.Sensing he was about to fight back, she struggled again to get up, but he held her firmly in his embrace. "Don't move!" His deep, hoarse voice seemed to have been squeezed out from the depths of his throat. Harriet turned to look at him, only to see his deep, dark eyes staring intensely at her. Harriet felt uneasy, but didn't dare to move anymore...As for Opal, after she accidentally witnessed Delbert and Harriet's affectionate scene, her face turned so red.After she came out, she immediately began gossiping with the servants in the villa with whom she had good terms, discussing what she had just seen."When I went in to ask Mr. Delbert and Miss Harriet to ea
