Abby tensed up more. “Chris's mom? Is something wrong?“ She asked. Was his mother going to tell her to stay away from his son too?Mrs. Blake seemed to have understood her worries. She sighed and tried to keep a strong voice. “I don't have any bad intentions, sweetie. Can you come over, please? Chris needs you.“Abby's heart skipped a beat. Did Chris need her? “Um, ma'am, did something happen to Chris?“ She asked in fear. “Is he alright?“A tear fell from Mrs. Blake's eyes. “No, he is not fine. I don't want to lie to you. Chris got into an accident last week on Tuesday. He is in a comma for now,” she said, her voice trembling.Abby sat up with a start. “What?“ she asked. Everything made sense at the moment. Chris hadn't abandoned her. He was sick in the hospital bed.Instead, it was she who had abandoned him. She had only thought about the possibility of being betrayed. She was selfish.“Abby?“ Mrs. Blake called worriedly. “Are you still there?“Abby wiped away tears from her face. "U

…In the evening, Xin went to pick Little Lion up from school, as he had done the last few days. However, this time, there was a smile lingering on his lips.Even though Bella was mad at him, he had taken the first step by making sure she was in his house.Little Lion pursed his lips. “Did something good happen, handsome Xin?“ He asked. It was very rare to see the man smiling for no reason.Xin smiled broader. “Um, I have a surprise for you,” he said. “I hope that will also make you smile.“Little Lion became curious. “What is the surprise?“ He asked. He tried thinking of many things that his dad would have found for him, but nothing came to mind.But Xin only chuckled when he questioned him. “It is a surprise,” he said. “You can't know until it is time.“Once at home, he asked Little Lion to cover his eyes as they walked into the living room. And when he didn't see Bella, he smiled. Things would be more interesting.“Little Lion, I want you to keep your eyes closed and walk to the gu

I slowly looked up at Xin, and I sighed deeply. Instead of answering the child, he was looking at me. Did he want me to speak up instead?He should have known better than anyone else that something like that was never going to happen. He didn't even have to think about it.I looked at Little Lion calmly. “Baby, that is not something we can talk about now,” I said. But even before I could explain it, Xin spoke up, cutting me short.“It is okay, Little Lion. Daddy and mommy will find you a little sister soon,” he said, winking at me. And I could only open my eyes wide in shock.“Okay! I want my sister to be as beautiful as Mommy. I will protect her from bullies,” Little Lion said happily. I could only observe him silently. He really had dreams.…After dinner, I helped Little Lion clean up and go to bed before going back to the guest room. I was worried about Eze. The words that Xin had said to him were bothering me.I tried to call him, but he didn't pick up. Of course, I knew that he

Feeling irritated, I decided to speak out about something that had been bothering me a lot. “Don't you know it? I don't want to because I keep getting memories of my parents,” I said.Xin was silent for a second before pressing my hand into his. “Bella, I still don't understand why he decided to sell the company. But I promise you that...”“He didn't sell it!“ I said it coldly and stood up. “Do you think I'm so stupid that you could keep on fooling me?“Xin seemed shocked by my outburst. He ran his hands through his hair and looked up at me. “He didn't sell it?“ He muttered. “Why would you say that?“I took in a deep breath and looked at him coldly. If he was pretending not to understand anything, then he was so good at it.I sat down, and a tear fell from my eyes. “You tell me. Do you have any proof that he sold the company to you and that you didn't take it away?“ I asked.Xin sighed and tried to hold my hand. But I pushed him away. I only wanted to know the truth. I was tired of pr

Red Eye looked at the man running and sighed. “How will I do it?“ He asked, but there was no one to answer him.With pursed lips, he reached for his phone. He just prayed that whatever he was going to do would work.He punched in some digits and numbers, sweat forming on his forehead. And only two minutes later, he exhaled deeply. “You should thank me properly for this, Boss,” he said.…“Eze, please don't do this,” I said, tears falling from my eyes. I could not look away from the gun in fear that he would actually shoot.But Eze did not flinch. “I don't want to do it, Bella. And that is why you should sign it quickly. We don't have time,” he said.And at the same time, a loud groaning of an engine was heard above us. I shivered more when I saw a helicopter circling above us.“We are late,” he said, holding my hand and yanking him towards himself. He wrapped his hands around me tightly. “I am really sorry about this. We have to go.““Eze!“ I cried out aloud. I regretted ever contacti
