Because the lights were on, Lewis saw her wince, and he paused. He grabbed her wrist and pulled up her sleeves. Her elbows were grazed, and he could see a big bruise forming. He then pulled on her collar, her shoulders revealing a patch of green.Lewis looked at Josephine, who had her eyes shut tight in a grimace. It took her a while to ease up."Why didn't you apply medicine to it?" It was only after Lewis peeled off the bandage that he noticed.Josephine opened her eyes and tried to hide the pain, gesturing, "I'm fine, it's not serious."She didn't dare apply any medication, since she was afraid of the effects on her baby. After all, her baby's life was precarious.Lewis got down from the bed, rummaging through the drawers. After a while, he came back and asked, "Where is the first aid kit?"Josephine had always been the one to tidy up the house. It was funny when she thought about it. Lewis wasn't familiar with his own home.Josephine shook her head, not wanting to get any me

Nancy and Daphne were busy trying to calm the baby down, but nothing worked. "What happened? Why is he suddenly crying so hard?" Daphne asked."He probably got frightened. Damn, that mute, nothing good happens every time she comes." Nancy said haughtily. Josephine was brought into a small room. The equipment was complete here. In the past, this was the room prepared for Daphne. Now, it was also prepared for Josephine. In this room, history was about to repeat itself.As Josephine was being pinned on the surgical table, a mask-wearing doctor walked in with a syringe. Her eyes widened as she stared right at the syringe that was glowing slightly under the lights. As she struggled desperately, the doctor held her hand down and warned, "If the needle goes in slanted, it'll do you no good."Josephine was not listening as she tried to break free from the maids’ hold. She was like a cornered cattle, attempting a final escape. The doctor watched as veins were about to pop on Josephine

Sierra froze in embarrassment. She couldn't conceal her feelings or her rage. Her eyes darted back and forth, unsure of what to do next.A few seconds later, Sierra turned to look at Lewis. Her heart sank when she saw the indifference in his eyes. Deep down, she knew.He wasn't in a good mood today.Sierra had known Lewis for such a long time, so she could read him like a book. She may not have known everything about him, but she was very familiar with his behavior. She knew that if she ended things in a fit of anger now, it was very likely that Lewis wouldn't even bat an eye. After a beat, Sierra tossed the knife onto the table and then threw herself into Lewis' arms."I've been anticipating this birthday for an entire year! Don't you know how upset I got when you sent Conrad to attend in your stead?" Sierra whined.She knew the only person that Lewis would put before herself was Josephine!Sierra also knew what words she should say and what manner she should behave in that woul

Josephine held Avery's hand and shook her head as if to tell her not to turn herself in.Avery seemed to understand what Josephine meant, and she chuckled as she said, "It wasn't easy for me to get out of my house, Josie. If I miss this opportunity, I fear that things will only get more complicated in the future."Josephine wrapped her arms tightly around Avery to stop her from leaving. Seeing how stubborn Josephine was, Avery wanted to say something to soothe her. But she didn't know what she should say. The rain had stopped, and the sun was beginning to emerge from behind the cloak of the clouds.After a while, Avery's smile dropped from her face and she looked at Josephine seriously. "Josephine. If it weren't for the fact that people have died, I really have to thank Lewis for giving me the opportunity to see the true colors of the people around me. But…" Avery smiled and continued, "You don't make me regret my decision, Josie. Whatever I've done and whatever I'm going to do, jus

Josephine gritted her teeth in pain until her jaw hurt as she stared at Lewis' cold eyes. Soon, she began to give up hope.Lewis didn't make a move. He simply observed as she stopped struggling before letting go of her. Josephine slid down from the table, clutched her abdomen, and curled into a ball on the floor. She didn't dare move.Everything hurt."Think carefully about what I said." Lewis' voice came from above her.As he turned around to leave, he felt a tug on his pants. Josephine had grabbed him. She looked at him with a pale face. Anyone who had eyes could see that she was in serious pain.Her lips trembled as she sucked in two deep breaths to suppress her pain. Then, Josephine released her grip on him and signed slowly, "Since you despise me so much, why didn't you divorce me?"Lewis' eyes darkened, and he bent down to her level. He placed a finger under her chin. "It seems like you really do have a goldfish memory. Have you forgotten what I said?"Josephine stared at
