She gently touched the scars on her face through the veil and then, with a sweet smile, began typing on the keyboard. "It would be great if I could help you. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"As she replied to the message, her phone vibrated again. Robert asked with concern, "How did you get hold of these documents? Are you in any danger? Your safety is the most important thing!"Seeing his genuine concern, Misty felt even more convinced that her choice was right. The smile on her face seemed impossible to fade. She had done her research lately. Cosmetic surgery here was not particularly advanced, and her facial scars wouldn't be perfectly repaired even with surgery. Meanwhile, Arovia was renowned for its excellent plastic surgery industry. Although dealing with her facial scars would be troublesome, new technology could provide a complete recovery. The only deterrent was the daunting cost. No matter how regretful Matthew might feel, he wouldn't spend such a large s
At Hopeldon's top hospital, Elvis sat by the bedside as he watched the summer breeze rustle through the leaves outside the window. A look of realization crossed his face. "Mom, I bought your favorite food."Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out. A girl with twin tails briskly entered the ward while carrying a meal with a smile on her face. "I was lucky to find discounted meat. I bought some. Mom, you have to eat more." The pale woman on the bed smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat more." After that, Jennifer noticed that Elvis, sitting on the side, was still staring blankly out of the window while lost in thought. Jennifer frowned. She said softly, "Elvis, set up the table. It's time for lunch. Elvis. Elvis?" "Huh?"Elvis suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Noticing both his wife and daughter looking at him, he forced a smile. He rubbed his hands and stood up. "Lilian, did you bring the food back already? Let's have lunch then!" "Dad, what ha
Jennifee hadn't looked before, but as soon as she did, she was almost startled.Under the shock, she even failed to contain her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Elvis?" Her husband, who rarely got involved in affairs and was always practical, was now standing up excitedly. His eyes were fixed tightly on the two entering the room. He seemed as though he was about to pounce on those people. Lilian was also stunned. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Elvis' hand, her face carrying a hint of embarrassment. She lowered her voice desperately and said, "Dad, what are you doing?" She sensed that the eyes of the entire ward had turned their way under Jennifer's exclamation. The extraordinarily good-looking couple also looked over. Her cheeks turned red. She felt both nervous and embarrassed. She forcefully tugged on Elvis' hand and whispered urgently, "Dad, hurry up and sit down." However, Elvis not only didn't sit down, but he took a step forward and called out
Even with their current financial difficulties, the atmosphere between them remained harmonious and warm.The smile in Hannah's eyes deepened a bit.Finding her uncle was undoubtedly a joyous event for her. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and confirming that Elvis' family members were reasonable and good people made her even happier."Grandma has never given up looking for you all these years, Uncle Elvis."Hannah briefly shared her thoughts. "I thought of taking you and Lilian to see Grandma directly to prevent her from overthinking.""Of course! Of course!"Jennifer laughed and agreed. She said, "If it weren't for my poor health and being hospitalized, I would have gone to see her too."Things were settled.Jennifer still had one more dialysis session in the coming days. Thus, their meeting was scheduled three days later.Hannah and Darren didn't stay much longer. After arranging for Jennifer to move to a single room, they left.Before they took
Darren didn't let her off easily in the end. Darren, being in his prime years, had maintained his purity and had never been involved with other women. This was a great feat considering that Darren had managed to maintain his purity after being with her all this time. Having just celebrated their marriage, he had finally enjoyed some moments of satisfaction, only to face the complication with Erica. Lately, Hannah had been in low spirits. Darren wouldn't be so brutish as to insist on intimate matters with her when she was in such an emotional state. He had to suppress his desires.However, now she took the initiative to seduce him. For a man who had finally given in to his desires, it wasn't so easy to let go. Demonstrating his unyielding nature, Darren showed Hannah that he was not to be trifled with. Carefully timing his actions, he eventually released her. Hannah, now lying on the bed, had a gentle gaze with a faint blush on her face. Her cheeks rested on the pillo
"Hannah Emerson, you listen to me! You are getting married today, no matter what!Those were the familiar words Hannah heard the moment she regained consciousness. She pinched herself—it stung. Hannah felt an overwhelming mixture of joy and disbelief.She rushed to the bathroom. Staring at the mirror, she saw a defiant young woman. She almost cried. She was currently 20 years old! Had she been reborn? "Hannah Emerson! Are you even listening to me?" The man was furious. He was shouting as he charged toward her. He pulled Hannah back forcefully while exclaiming, "Those who grow up in the slums really have no manners!""Dad, don't be mad." A gentle-looking woman held onto him. She said softly, "Hannah just woke up. She's probably still upset. Don't get mad. Please, talk nicely to her …"That was the familiar voice of that two-faced bitch …Hannah's gaze darkened. She retorted sarcastically, "How could I have any manners? Everyone knows very well that I grew up without
The person who ran up to her had a cheerful disposition and an innocent face. Seeing him, Hannah fell into a momentary trance. She murmured, "Nigel …" Nigel Moore was so anxious that his eyes had already reddened."I heard everything. Are you really going to marry that cripple from the Winchester family? Hannah, I know you don't want this. Will you … marry me instead? I like you. I really like you!" These words overlapped with his confession in her previous life. Back then, Hannah had been the hero, saving the handsome Nigel. For some reason, Nigel had found himself alone in the back alleys of West Lane. He looked like a young wealthy scion, so the thugs quickly surrounded him in an attempt to rob him. Hannah had come to his rescue. That was how the two people, who would otherwise have never crossed paths, became friends. In her previous life, the 20-year-old Hannah was a mix of insecurities and determination. She was also filled with hatred and resentment toward the Eme
Hannah knocked on the door, only to be met with complete silence."Mr. Winchester, if you don't mind, I'm coming in now." The nearby maids looked at Hannah in shock as she opened the door and entered the room. Although it was noon, the room was dark and gloomy as thick curtains had blocked out all the sunlight. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Winchester. I believe we should introduce ourselves to get to know each other." Hannah took the initiative and calmly switched on the lights. She continued, "I'm—""Get out!" a deep and hoarse voice roared angrily as the room lit up.At the far end of the room, Hannah saw a somewhat scrawny man sitting in a wheelchair. He glared at her with an overwhelming intensity. The menacing gaze could cause anyone to shudder.Despite that, Hannah remained unfazed. She began to size Darren Winchester up. Clearly, he had not been doing well these days. His cheeks had sunken, and his hair was somewhat disheveled. However, it didn't diminish his handsome
