Back in the Fordham residence, Avery's life was finally no longer in danger. Troy heaved a sigh of relief."Avery, you finally woke up. You don't know how worried I was that you might not regain consciousness."Avery had just regained his consciousness, hence the pale complexion. He gave Troy a comforting smile. "How could I leave you behind? Look at your hair. You're like a disheveled lion."Troy was a designer, so he dressed fashionably. He didn't clean himself up during the days he was looking after Avery. Therefore, his golden hair was a mess, and he looked like an ungroomed Husky."Can't believe you're joking right now, Avery. Look at how unlucky you are.""How am I unlucky? I'm still alive, so I think I'm lucky."Troy snorted. "It wasn't easy to look for someone who was willing to donate a kidney that matches yours. "Who knew that such an accident would happen?""It's not like he asked for it. We can't do anything about the car accident.""You're too kind, Avery. I

This was the first time Leia took the initiative to explain her stance. Ethan was sitting before the tea table brewing tea. "Fire away."She looked at the patterns on the teapot. "That year, I lost my way and was sold to the mountains. I had a rough time over there. "I was fortunate enough to be able to escape from there …"She glossed over her suffering instead of going into the details. Ethan asked, "How did you escape?"The information he managed to find was only on the surface. There was no detailed description written.Still, she didn't go into the details. "Easy. I planned for it for a long time. I hid a lighter to light up the stored hay. They were poor, so there wasn't much hay for me to burn. But …"She paused momentarily before continuing, "Before I burned the hay, I locked that family up in a room, and they burned alive. I walked for a month to get out of the mountains."Since I was burned, everyone saw me as a monster. I was lucky enough to bump into a kind person

Olivia underwent six chemotherapies in one go, with one treatment every 21 days. By the time she finished the sixth chemotherapy, it had already been six months.The past six months were hell for her. The side effects of the chemotherapy seeped into her organs.She couldn't stand the cold at all. Her hands and feet were always cold. Her legs weren't strong enough for her to walk, and her bones were throbbing in pain.It broke Irene's heart. "Olivia, you've managed to get through it. You finished six chemotherapies! You're more amazing than most people."Olivia, who was bedridden lifelessly, felt dizzy. Weakly, she said, "Irene, take me outside. I need some fresh air. I've been lying in bed for a long time.""Sure."Irene pushed her out in a wheelchair. It was the beginning of winter for the southern countries.Overall, the temperature here was warmer than Aldenvine. Even if it was the coldest season, it wouldn't snow.The winter sunlight cast warmth onto her. Olivia narrowe

Hearing that, Olivia accidentally let her phone slip through her hand. It dropped onto the floor.The thud surprised Irene, who had been on the phone with Keith for a while.She hurriedly hung up the call and looked at Olivia. "Olivia, what's the matter?"Olivia seemed pale. "Nothing."Irene picked up Olivia's phone and saw the screen showing Ethan's face.After wiping the phone screen, Irene handed it over to Olivia while comforting her."Put your worry at rest, Olivia. He doesn't know that you're alive. It's time to walk out of his shadow."Irene didn't know what Ethan had done to Olivia that the latter was so afraid of him.Olivia nodded, but she couldn't shake off the fear. Her hunch kept telling her that he was speaking to her."Right, there's no way he knows that I'm still alive," she muttered.She tried to persuade herself in her head. "If he knew that I'm still alive, he wouldn't have let me wander out here. He would've asked someone to bring me back to him."After c

Olivia was still calm. She asked, "Are you in need of money? Is there anyone else in your family?"Logan scratched the back of his head. "Yeah. My mother is living in my hometown, and there are also a few cows.""You're not married?""People in my profession don't have time for love. Even if I get married, my wife would be alone most of the time. So, I decided not to put any woman through that." Olivia continued to ask, "Where did you used to work?""I've been wandering around my whole life. My family was poor when I was young. I enlisted in the army later. "After I was discharged, I worked in many different places. I've worked in casinos and pubs. I've worked as a personal bodyguard and hired muscle. I've worked all the hardest jobs for money.""Who was your previous employer?"Olivia wasn't the kind and innocent girl she used to be. Her expression was calm, but she exuded a commanding presence. She became more mature, and she no longer trusted anyone. Logan answered smo
