The patient glanced at the pass in Amur's hand and believed that he was a journalist. Amur put away the work pass, sat beside the patient, and struck up a conversation. "By the way, do you know where the bodies of those two people are now?"He wanted to confirm with his own eyes.Amur still had his guard up. What if Jacob and Harold knew he would be targeted and deliberately faked their deaths? If they continued to fake their deaths, he could pretend that nothing had happened. However, if Abel found out they were faking their deaths, he would be in big trouble. Amur had to go and see for himself.The patient glanced at Amur, looking surprised. "You journalists are really something. You're going to see them even in such circumstances? Aren't you afraid of getting bad luck for being around corpses?""There's no choice. It's for work. I don't wanna get bad luck either, but if there's valuable information, I can report it back to my editor. After all, this happened at the police
A hint of mockery flashed across Amur’s eyes. On the Island of Despair, picking up a hint of humanity was not exactly a good thing. However, he had changed so much that there was no going back to how he used to be.As Amur thought about Gerald, he decided that he would just accept things as they were and stop pondering since he could not go back to his old self. He did not mind the exhaustion and was ready to drive back to A City. Even though Luca would not take the initiative to come looking for him, she would definitely worry if he stayed in X City for too long.Despite his desire for more of Luca's affection, he did not want her to be concerned. Therefore, he hurriedly drove back.…Luca was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her phone. Luke walked out of the bathroom and curiously asked when he saw her in such a state, "What's wrong?""I'm waiting for news from Amur," replied Luca, suddenly remembering that Amur had already replied to her message. Then, she shook h
However, Gerald did not expect that he would have to carry out the mission before his body had fully recovered.What Gerald also never imagined was that his mission would be successful. He was in excruciating pain that caused him to tremble uncontrollably in bed. The men outside found him too noisy and gagged him. Yet, he was overwhelmed with excitement right now. It was an excitement he could not contain! He had succeeded, and moreover, he had survived.He did not know that killing someone could be so simple! Before carrying out the mission, Gerald was afraid, and he was worried about what might happen to him. He was also afraid that Amul might kill him while they were halfway there before getting rid of Jacob and Harold himself.Furthermore, he had always thought that murdering a person was a difficult task. Now, all Gerald could think about was how killing someone could feel like this. What he had thought was so difficult turned out to be so simple!This was what it fe
"Gordan, when are you going to start shooting? I feel frustrated being trapped in the car!" said Gale. The gunfire was intense, and he could feel bullets whizzing past the car.It was the sound of gunfire. Gale could tell the mercenaries had the upper hand. He was not scared, just frustrated. He felt he should be out there making a difference instead of being sidelined by Gordan.He could don a mask and help the police take down the mercenaries."Haha, are you scared already?" Gordan's teasing voice came through the earpiece. Before Gale could respond, he added, "I'm coming to rescue you."Then, Gale heard a gunshot from the mercenaries' side. This time, it was not their weapons firing but Gordan's.Gale rolled his eyes. Did he really need Gordan to save him? If not for the plan to ram the car into the mercenaries to create an opportunity for the police to escape, he would not be hiding here now.Gordan's aim was impeccable. He took down two mercenaries as soon as he got out
It was late at night. A black full-size Lincoln SUV is driving into an extravagant mansion in A City’s most expensive suburb.Inside the mansion.Bianca Rayne’s eyes were covered with a silk blindfold.He did not want her to know who he was.“Don’t be afraid. Take deep breaths.“You can do it, Bianca. There’s nothing more important than getting Dad a liver transplant so he can live. It’s fine to sacrifice a little for Dad.”She could not ignore the sound of the car entering the mansion.Now that it had come to this, all she could do was keep talking to herself, to persuade and comfort herself.When Luke Crawford walked in, his body tall and his spine straight, he immediately saw Bianca, who was standing in his room. She was young, in the prime of her youth—“H-Hello…” She could sense his body approaching, so she instinctively took a step back despite the blindfold, stuttering as she greeted him stiffly.She had thought that the past few days of mental preparation had left her
Once he was done, the man left.Bianca was exhausted to the point of passing out. She stayed curled up on the bed for a long, long time.The doctors said it was easier for her to conceive this way.…This continued for more nights than she could keep track of. Luke Crawford would come to the mansion every night, no matter how late his work kept him. He never failed to show up.The middle-aged driver who followed Luke around, Charles Finn, was Faye’s husband. Both of them were experienced in these things, so they really wanted to give their young master a word of advice. These things should be taken slowly! Rushing it would only be unhealthy!However, their haughty and aloof young master was also known for being a harsh employer with the cold face of a devil. He was famous for being hard to handle!The couple had no choice but to keep their mouths shut!They could only watch as that young girl was rendered limp and listless every day thanks to their young master’s energetic dema
“Hear me out, Kevin. We only have two daughters, right? I know, Marie isn’t your daughter by birth, but she’s called you her father all her life…”Before Jennifer finished that sentence, Kevin interrupted her. He had been recuperating in bed for many months now, and he was already feeling much better. “What are you trying to say? Just tell me straight. After all, I’m your loving husband.”“I know you love me and our Marie..” Jennifer held Kevin’s hand, so thin that it was practically skin over bone, and said softly, “You mentioned that you’d send Bianca overseas to study after she graduates from high school right? Our Marie is only two years older than Bianca, and all she does these days is hang around bars. She’s not going to class properly at all, and I’m worried sick. After all, she is my only biological child! Kevin, I want Marie to study overseas with Bianca!”Bianca stood outside the door, frowning slightly.Marie was twenty years old this year, and she had somehow learned ho
Bianca shook her head and forced herself to not think about the mother whose name and face she did not know. That woman was a stranger to her.After a while, her phone rang.The caller was Bianca’s best friend, Nina Langdon.Bianca picked up.“Hi! It’s been a long time since we video-called. Why are you trying to avoid me?” Nina complained into the phone. She rested her cheek on her hand dejectedly, saying, “Are you sure you wanna go to the UK, Bea? What if someone bullies you there? My fists don’t reach that far.“Also! I hear that guys mature early overseas, and loads of school dorms are co-ed! You gotta be really careful about that when you go there! Hey, do you understand what I’m getting at? Forget it, I’ll just be open with you. If you really can’t hold back when you see those foreign hotties! Remember to use protection!”On her screen, Bianca could see that Nina was sitting in a small restaurant. It seemed like she had just ordered her food and was waiting for it to arrive
