The hole was pretty deep. It was about 15 feet deep.When Holly fell, she lost her footing and crumpled to the ground.She landed on her back and her ankle. A sharp pain shot through her neck. It hurt so badly that she teared up.It took her a long time to recover. There was a sharp pain on her face, too. One of the branches had broken and cut her across the face.She touched her face, drawing blood.She was dismayed that her face was going to get disfigured.Holly held back the pain and picked up one of the branches off the ground. She yelled at Lucas, "If you dare to come down, I'll stab you with this branch!"Lucas yelled back, "Don't be an idiot! If I get that treasure, I won't ask you for money anymore! It's also for your own benefit!"Holly knew Lucas was shameless. She just didn't know it was that bad.He was comparable to Quirina and Samantha.She yelled back, "They're coming. It's illegal for you to even touch these things!""To hell with the law! I'm your father, b

Bryce emphasized the words "my woman".It was for both Lucas and Abelin to hear.Abelin's expression was unreadable.Meanwhile, Lucas' face was distorted in pain. He roared, "Let me go! I won't do it again. I didn't mean to do it."Bryce found his voice irritating. He waved his hand and ordered his bodyguards, "Get him out!"The bodyguards stepped up hurriedly and dragged Lucas out.Bryce cast a sideways glance at Abelin and sat by the bed. He held up Holly's chin and observed her wound. His eyes were full of pain. "Why did you go so far? What if it leaves a scar?"Holly turned away slightly, wanting to avoid his hand.Abelin was standing there. Holly was uncomfortable being intimate with someone in the room.Bryce tightened his grip on her chin slightly, not letting her move away. He grazed the cut gently. "It's so close to your eyes. Are you sure that's your dad?"Holly held his wrist, wanting to move his hand away from her face. "I'm fine. It'll heal in a few days."Bryce

Abelin remained silent for the longest time. His fists were clenched tightly, and even his veins popped up. The veins on his forehead were evidently pulsating.Merope asked hoarsely, "Why aren't you saying anything?"Anger welled up within Abelin. His gaze turned dark, and he was unable to utter even a single word. Hatred surged within him uncontrollably.Merope sighed softly. "After that fire, Arthur bribed everyone in the village in order to conceal Sherry's crime. He got everyone to deny the existence of Abel Larson, no matter who came to ask. Your life is worthless in the eyes of that couple."Abelin continued to remain silent.Merope clutched her chest with a frown. She gritted, "That monster Arthur ruined me, and Sherry ruined you! Yet, you treated their son so well. I didn't think you would repay our grievance with kindness!"She burst out laughing in a self-deprecating manner, even her tears streamed out.Abelin finally spoke, "It was Holly I'm treating well, not Bryce."

Holly managed to only react after a good while."What did you just say? Can you repeat it again?" It was such a surprise that she wondered if she was actually hallucinating.After all, Abel had passed away 13 years ago. She had personally attended his funeral and would visit his grave every festive season.It was impossible for the dead to come back. It was truly baffling how an "Abel Larsen" would suddenly emerge out of nowhere now.Abel coughed once before repeating, "I am Abel Larsen, Holls. There's no mistaking it."Holly heard it loud and clear this time, but she felt as if she had just listened to the world's funniest joke.She laughed and said, "It's impossible. No way! You're not Abel Larsen. Abel is… Don't impersonate Abel!"Her eyes started to water as she laughed.Abelin replied, "I really am Abel. Where are you now? Are you in the hospital? We should meet up and talk."Holly said, "I've been discharged. I'm now at Winds Residence.""I'll go to you now. See you in

The man looked handsome as he stood tall and proud. His well-defined body was accentuated by a fitted black shirt. He looked dignified and elegant.It was Bryce.He had felt something was off when Holly called to ask if he was coming over tonight. She was usually straightforward in her words and rarely asked about his plan.Something had to be amiss behind her unusual behavior. As expected, she didn't disappoint him.With a cold smirk and an icy stare, Bryce stood motionless as he stared at the duo, who were looking at each other, lost in their own world.Even though they didn't hug or kiss, their gazes betrayed their true emotions. Such an intense look was unmistakably one of lovers who were reunited after being separated for a long time.Bryce recalled the way Holly had been calling out for "Abel" in her dreams for the past three years. Abelin had been secretly protecting her and doing things for her wholeheartedly—be it sending her money or paving the way for her. Wherever H
