- Chapter 503384 wordsEvelyn peered into the luxury car with cautious curiosity.
- Chapter 504349 wordsDominic's fingers were icy against Evelyn's skin. The gesture should have been intimate, but it sent a chill down her spine.
- Chapter 505435 wordsHad he collapsed or was he unconscious?
- Chapter 506334 wordsPerhaps Evelyn's words had sparked Dominic's interest.
- Chapter 507456 wordsDominic's words dripped with sarcasm. He released Evelyn's chin, turned abruptly, and snatched a pristine white handkerchief from the nearby table. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed it at her. "Dry those tears. Nothing disgusts me more than a weeping woman."
- Chapter 508412 wordsThe night was eerily silent, amplifying every sound. Evelyn could hear Dominic's voice like shards of ice scraping against her eardrums. Each word he spoke struck with unnerving precision.
- Chapter 509377 wordsDominic's intense gaze sent shivers down Evelyn's spine. She instinctively recoiled, but his iron grip caught her wrist with bruising force.
- Chapter 510409 wordsTo verify, he called Whitmore Manor, and the servant informed him that Evelyn hadn't returned. Only then was Ethan 70% certain.
- Chapter 511478 wordsEthan sensed Evelyn still carried a flame for him.
- Chapter 512432 wordsEvelyn's fingers curled into tight fists, her knuckles turning bone-white.
- Chapter 513457 wordsThe implication was clear - Evelyn had been anxious, which explained her eagerness to follow them.
- Chapter 514380 wordsEvelyn was taken aback, yet her sharp intuition caught the crucial detail.
- Chapter 515545 wordsWhen Ethan Caldwell reappeared, Alexander Whitmore's piercing gaze narrowed dangerously.
- Chapter 516561 wordsEthan Caldwell suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face.
- Chapter 517533 words"Absolutely not!" Alexander answered without missing a beat.
- Chapter 518428 wordsAlexander's gaze was icy and detached. "It's exactly what it looks like. We won't be staying at Whitmore Manor anymore."
- Chapter 519482 wordsNo wonder Ethan had abandoned him with rural farmers without hesitation.
- Chapter 520528 wordsThe dormitory was compact but functional - a cozy one-bedroom apartment spanning just over 300 square feet. Every essential amenity had been thoughtfully arranged within its limited space.
- Chapter 521485 wordsThe girl's skeptical gaze burned into Evelyn, but she chose not to elaborate further.
- Chapter 522550 wordsDominic's voice came out rough and strained, as though every word caused him pain.
- Chapter 523454 wordsIt was the handkerchief he'd used to dry her tears last night. Evelyn never expected Dominic would keep it tucked so near his heart.
- Chapter 524433 wordsEvelyn had no patience left for his teasing.
- Chapter 525533 wordsThe tweezers plunged deep into his flesh, and with one sharp tug, the bullet came free.
- Chapter 526560 wordsEvelyn pressed her palms firmly against Dominic's chest, shoving him backward onto the plush bed.
- Chapter 527457 wordsThe phone rang at midnight.
- Chapter 528389 words"How could Ethan say those words to me with such brutal honesty? That his heart belongs to another woman?
- Chapter 529393 wordsEvelyn's voice was thick with sleep, as if she'd been dragged from the depths of a dream.
- Chapter 530635 wordsThe moment Alexander laid eyes on Evelyn, he pulled her into a tight embrace.
- Chapter 531476 wordsThe first light of dawn had barely touched the sky when Evelyn Carter rose from bed, her prized cello case already in hand.
- Chapter 532487 wordsEvelyn turned to storm off in fury.
- Chapter 533404 wordsThe golden afternoon light streamed through the practice room windows as Evelyn's bow glided across the cello strings. Having been immersed in classical music since childhood and now studying under a maestro like Leonard Herty, her progress had been extraordinary.
- Chapter 534545 wordsAlexander remained seated in the car.
- Chapter 535464 words"How much longer until the baby arrives?" Alexander asked, tracing circles on Evelyn's swollen belly with a frustrated sigh. The forced abstinence was driving him mad.
- Chapter 536531 wordsAlexander froze when he saw Evelyn pick up her cello, finally understanding what she meant by "having to work" earlier.
- Chapter 537603 wordsEvelyn never imagined Isabella would dare to physically lash out in such a public setting.
- Chapter 538521 wordsAlexander's voice was icy. "I'm a married man. It's inappropriate for us to be together this late. Evelyn might misunderstand."
- Chapter 539344 wordsEvelyn didn't return home.
- Chapter 540372 wordsThe night stretched long as Evelyn and Claire talked about everything - motherhood, relationships, careers.
- Chapter 541466 wordsThe morning sunlight streamed through the windows as Evelyn Carter sat alone at her kitchen table, picking at her breakfast. Just as she finished clearing the dishes, her phone vibrated violently against the marble countertop.
- Chapter 542442 wordsJulian arrived just in time.
- Chapter 543418 wordsThe hospital waiting room felt like purgatory. Hours had crawled by, yet the mysterious driver remained conspicuously absent.
- Chapter 544541 wordsJulian collapsed onto the floor, clutching his head as waves of pain contorted his handsome features.
- Chapter 545379 wordsEvelyn had never witnessed such raw fury in Isabella before.
- Chapter 546356 words"The patient remains under observation. She won't be discharged for at least another thirty minutes. While stable, she's sustained partial fractures in her lower limbs requiring extended recovery," the nurse explained. Lucas Bennett finally released the breath he'd been holding.
- Chapter 547459 wordsSince this was a matter between Lucas and Claire, Evelyn felt like an outsider who couldn't interfere too much. Most importantly, she couldn't betray Claire's trust.
- Chapter 548219 wordsThe morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse, casting long shadows across the marble floors. Alexander Whitmore stood by the window, his expression unreadable as he addressed the woman sitting across from him.
- Chapter 549488 wordsLucas's unexpected arrival startled Claire and Evelyn in the hospital room.
- Chapter 550405 wordsIsabella gave a vague response. "Regardless, I made a mistake and should apologize properly. They only demanded compensation and won't pursue legal action." Alexander's frown deepened. "Tell me honestly—did Evelyn force you to kneel?"
- Chapter 551339 wordsSimon waved his phone dismissively. "It's just toast, but I have boundaries. What if my girlfriend thinks I'm being too friendly with another woman?" His relationship had started over those very sandwiches.
- Chapter 552331 wordsSimon waved his phone dismissively. "It's nothing major, but I have boundaries to maintain. What if my girlfriend gets the wrong idea when she finds out I bought cat toast for another woman?" His relationship had blossomed over a shared love of toast.
- Chapter 553433 wordsIsabella's breath hitched as the memory of that fateful auction night flashed through her mind.
- Chapter 554423 wordsDominic suspected Isabella was plotting something sinister. Had she suggested harming Evelyn directly, his dagger would have been drawn in an instant.
- Chapter 555510 wordsThe room fell into complete silence for several heartbeats.
- Chapter 556532 wordsTears shimmered in Claire's eyes.
- Chapter 557474 wordsThe images of drug lords from news reports flashed through Evelyn's mind—their ruthless methods, their cold-blooded brutality. A shiver ran down her spine.
- Chapter 558464 words"Where is Andrew? Where is he? Hand him over!"
- Chapter 559471 wordsAt last, Alexander exhaled deeply, the weight on his shoulders lifting slightly.
- Chapter 560445 wordsEvelyn sighed deeply, her voice laced with exhaustion. "She had the baby not out of love for you, but for the child itself. Claire wants to protect her daughter from becoming a pawn in your twisted games. Alexander, she's made up her mind to walk away."
- Chapter 561471 wordsThe storm between them appeared to have passed, yet Claire had given birth to Lucas's child. Just when it seemed their connection might endure, the divorce papers had been signed.
- Chapter 562352 wordsA golden halo illuminated Alexander from behind. He met Maxwell's gaze steadily. "You've done nothing wrong. I simply need Lucas to spend some time at the police station to cool off." Alexander couldn't risk leaving his volatile friend unsupervised.
- Chapter 563360 wordsEvelyn sighed as she packed her medical supplies. "You don't have to listen to me," she said, her voice laced with frustration. "Unless you prefer staying in that wheelchair forever."
- Chapter 564478 wordsDominic remained silent as Evelyn finished bandaging his shoulder wound. With practiced hands, she began the acupuncture treatment on his legs.
- Chapter 565464 wordsIsabella Morgan had assumed that since Dominic Powell brought her here, those men wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
- Chapter 566523 wordsEvelyn spent the morning chatting with Claire at the hospital, bringing along the baby clothes she'd purchased earlier from the maternity boutique.
- Chapter 567462 wordsEvelyn sat quietly at the table, waiting. When Alexander didn't return after several minutes, she picked up her fork.
- Chapter 568546 words"Impossible. Did Dominic arrange this? Why would he go this far?"
- Chapter 569491 wordsWithout warning, Dominic seized Evelyn's wrist and pressed a cold steel blade into her palm.
- Chapter 570423 words"Legally speaking, we're husband and wife now. Kissing isn't exactly a crime."
- Chapter 571533 wordsAfter saying farewell to Alexander, Evelyn made her way back to her dormitory.
- Chapter 572562 wordsEvelyn had assumed Cassandra was merely fortunate to study under Leonard. But discovering Cassandra's ties to Titan Capital Group made the reality far more difficult to swallow.
- Chapter 573567 wordsEvelyn had no clue she'd deeply offended Cassandra.
- Chapter 574448 words"That's impossible. The news reported the Bennett Estate's fire suppression system failed, but their family built their fortune on construction. How could they make such an amateur error?"
- Chapter 575600 wordsEvelyn's voice was icy. "You told me you'd already spoken to him that day! Now he's taken Bella and won't even answer Claire's calls!"
- Chapter 576476 wordsEvelyn spent considerable time soothing Claire's distress.
- Chapter 577472 wordsDominic's eyes were glassy, his face flushed with fever.
- Chapter 578619 wordsEvelyn looked completely bewildered. "Who's Cassandra? I've never even heard of her!"
- Chapter 579572 wordsDominic let out a dark chuckle. "My legs don't work, Sebastian. Surely you've noticed that by now?"
- Chapter 580527 wordsReginald Powell showed no affection for his son Dominic, while his brothers, dripping with sarcasm, wouldn't hesitate to betray him at the first opportunity.
- Chapter 581499 words"Evelyn told you to give this to me, but she didn't say anything else?" Dominic's voice was laced with skepticism as he examined the pink lollipop Nathaniel handed him.
- Chapter 582575 words"What are you implying? Are you confessing you used connections to get in?"
- Chapter 583424 wordsA chilling thought crossed Evelyn's mind. "As vile as Mr. White was, his actions didn't deserve death. He had sinister intentions toward Isabella, but no actual harm came to her. So why did he suddenly take his own life?"
- Chapter 584428 wordsThe moon cast silvery beams through the music room windows as Evelyn Carter remained late into the night, her cello practice echoing through the empty halls.
- Chapter 585684 wordsSomething wasn't right. Evelyn's phone displayed [No Signal] as if someone had intentionally severed her connection to the outside world.
- Chapter 586205 wordsDominic's lips curled into a sly smirk.
- Chapter 587321 wordsThe guard swallowed hard, his professionalism barely holding against the man's chilling presence.
- Chapter 588517 wordsEvelyn studied Dominic's face intently. "Was it you who killed Mr. White?"
- Chapter 589525 wordsEvelyn had always been consumed by jealousy because of Alexander, and it felt utterly unfair.
- Chapter 590462 wordsThe moment Evelyn disappeared through the doors, Alexander sprinted after her. "Evelyn!"
- Chapter 591400 wordsSimon scrambled out of the taxi, hastily paying the fare for Evelyn.
- Chapter 592487 wordsEvelyn exhaled quietly through her nose.
- Chapter 593471 wordsAlexander rushed to explain. "You've got it all wrong!"
- Chapter 594548 wordsEvelyn's pulse raced as Alexander's unexpected words hung in the air between them.
- Chapter 595581 wordsEvelyn couldn't contain herself any longer. The dam burst as she snapped, "Are you truly this dense?"
- Chapter 596407 words"Did you hear? There was an attempted murder here last night!"
- Chapter 597485 wordsThe room fell into heavy silence.
- Chapter 598475 wordsTo maintain impartiality, all competitors in the same section performed identical musical pieces.
- Chapter 599561 wordsIsabella's fingers trembled as she reached for Alexander's sleeve, but he stepped back before she could make contact.
- Chapter 600867 wordsEvelyn had silenced her phone while working and only noticed Claire's two missed calls after completing her composition.
- Chapter 601861 wordsThe server approached with a tray of champagne flutes, the golden liquid sparkling under the chandeliers.
- Chapter 602982 wordsLucas's pulse hammered violently as he crushed Claire against his chest.
- Chapter 603949 wordsThe moment Alexander swallowed the wine, Evelyn felt a thrill of anticipation shoot through her.
- Chapter 604712 wordsAfter Julian dropped Claire off at home, Evelyn returned to find Alexander.
- Chapter 605642 wordsThe dim glow of the bedside lamp cast long shadows across the room as Evelyn carefully lowered Alexander onto the mattress.
- Chapter 606729 wordsAlexander stirred awake as the last traces of medication faded from his system.
- Chapter 607941 wordsIsabella gasped, her eyes brimming with unshed tears as she glared at Vanessa.
- Chapter 608888 wordsThe afternoon sun cast long shadows when Evelyn received the summons from Whitmore Manor. Harold Whitmore demanded her presence immediately.
- Chapter 609788 wordsAlexander's expression darkened. "We're all here for a peaceful family dinner. Why must we resort to punishment?"
- Chapter 610705 wordsEvelyn was scrolling through her phone when Alexander walked through the door.
- Chapter 611636 wordsClaire had been determined to provide breast milk for her daughter Bella, expressing milk diligently every day.
- Chapter 612801 wordsLucas's suggestion caught Claire completely off guard.
- Chapter 613823 wordsClaire was still half-asleep when her phone rang. The moment she heard Julian's voice, her foggy mind sharpened.
- Chapter 614897 wordsThe moment Claire stepped into the empty apartment, the silence hit her like a physical blow.
- Chapter 615782 wordsThe whispers followed Evelyn Carter all day. Everywhere she went, hushed voices buzzed about the alleged "plagiarism" scandal.
- Chapter 616744 wordsThe evening shadows stretched long across the pavement as Evelyn stepped out of Powell Manor.
- Chapter 6171,003 wordsThe realization hit me like a ton of bricks.
- Chapter 618773 wordsJulian shook his head, his voice barely above a whisper. "No one hit me. I just scraped myself by accident."
- Chapter 619521 wordsThe living room was a mess.
- Chapter 620953 wordsClaire's eyes widened in shock. Lucas Bennett was the last person she expected to see standing there.
- Chapter 621648 wordsEvelyn was acutely aware she was merely a placeholder contestant with no real shot at victory. Her only goal was not to embarrass Leonard too badly—making the top ten would suffice.
- Chapter 622597 wordsThe discovery struck Evelyn like lightning.
- Chapter 623628 wordsLeonard Herty's brow furrowed as he sat at the judges' panel.
- Chapter 624519 wordsThe final note hung in the air like a whisper of heartbreak. Evelyn Carter exhaled slowly, her fingers still trembling against the cello strings. She'd been certain the sabotaged string would snap mid-performance, yet somehow it had held.
- Chapter 625591 wordsCassandra Brown burned with fury. "If Isabella hadn't convinced me Evelyn's composition was a serious threat, I would never have touched that cello! With all eyes on me, was I supposed to be that reckless?"
- Chapter 626611 wordsIsabella's smile froze mid-curve.
- Chapter 627520 wordsThe live broadcast exploded into pandemonium.
- Chapter 628795 wordsThe man in the baseball cap watched as Alexander and Isabella walked away, his piercing gaze following them until they disappeared around the corner.

- Chapter 630773 wordsThe sterile hospital walls seemed to close in on Evelyn Carter as she lay confined to bed rest. The last person she expected to see was Dominic Powell rolling through her doorway in a wheelchair.
- Chapter 6311,064 wordsThe news of Evelyn's hospitalization spread like wildfire.
- Chapter 632538 wordsThe sun cast golden rays through the clinic windows as Vanessa Hart waited for her prenatal results.
- Chapter 633487 words"What nonsense are you spouting?"
- Chapter 634903 wordsEvelyn shook her head slowly, but then Isabella's piercing cry shattered the tense silence.
- Chapter 635678 wordsEvelyn was nearly seven months pregnant.
- Chapter 636900 wordsAlexander's eyes darkened with pain. No one cared more about Evelyn and their unborn child's safety than he did.
- Chapter 637810 wordsIsabella's sudden blindness was far too convenient.
- Chapter 638713 wordsSending Isabella away appeared to be the wisest decision. It would give Evelyn peace during her pregnancy. But Isabella froze, her face twisting in shock. "Alexander, are you abandoning me?"
- Chapter 639883 wordsEvelyn's brows knitted together as she made up her mind to visit the hospital.
- Chapter 640975 wordsEvelyn rested her head against Alexander's shoulder, her intentions unmistakably flirtatious.
- Chapter 641975 wordsThe crisp autumn air carried a faint medicinal scent through the hospital courtyard. Evelyn Carter tightened her cashmere scarf against the chill, her breath forming small clouds in the cold air.
- Chapter 642819 wordsA tense silence filled the hospital room.
- Chapter 643659 wordsTwenty minutes after ending the call, anticipating Alexander's arrival, Evelyn crept downstairs to unlock the front door.
- Chapter 6441,050 words"Evelyn, are you overthinking again? Did you misunderstand something?"
- Chapter 6451,059 wordsAlexander froze, needing a full three seconds to process Evelyn's words.
- Chapter 646786 wordsVanessa swiftly stepped between Richard and Margaret. "Mom, please. Dad and Evelyn were just playing around. It wasn't serious. Evelyn's fine. Why make this into a family drama?"
- Chapter 647790 wordsThe past two days had been uneventful for Evelyn Carter.
- Chapter 648867 wordsThe moment Alexander turned away, Isabella's lips twisted into a smug smirk, her eyes gleaming with triumph.
- Chapter 649786 wordsThe crisp evening air filled Evelyn's lungs as she steadied herself beside Claire before stepping out of the luxury sedan.
- Chapter 650812 wordsVanessa watched from the shadows, her fingers twisting the fabric of her dress into knots.
- Chapter 651729 wordsThe grand ballroom erupted in hushed whispers as the elevator doors parted, revealing Alexander Whitmore's imposing figure.
- Chapter 652997 wordsEvelyn was still trying to process why Alexander had shown up unannounced at her high school reunion.
- Chapter 653917 wordsEvelyn's brow furrowed, the lingering resentment toward Alexander still simmering beneath her composed exterior.
- Chapter 654983 words1/10
- Chapter 655782 wordsEvelyn melted into Alexander's arms.
- Chapter 656784 wordsDominic Powell stood like a demon emerging from the depths of hell, his aura radiating pure menace.
- Chapter 657678 wordsEthan Caldwell's mood was darker than the storm clouds gathering over Cresthaven tonight.
- Chapter 658642 wordsClaire blinked in confusion as the crisp night air hit her flushed cheeks. "What are you doing here?" she slurred, swaying slightly on her designer heels.
- Chapter 659860 wordsClaire gazed at Lucas standing before her for what felt like an eternity.
- Chapter 660789 wordsEvelyn and Alexander were locked in a passionate embrace near the foyer, their lips meeting in heated kisses.
- Chapter 661839 words"I'm sorry. It only happened once with him."
- Chapter 662704 wordsEvelyn rushed downstairs barefoot, her soles meeting the cool marble as she frantically searched for the medical kit. Alexander's injury had her heart pounding.
- Chapter 663878 wordsVictoria Clarke wasn't just any ordinary friend. She was Evelyn Carter's former classmate and Sebastian Powell's betrothed.
- Chapter 664636 wordsVictoria's breath hitched as her gaze locked onto the figure across the street.
- Chapter 665748 wordsThe moment Evelyn heard Alexander's car pull into the driveway, her pulse quickened.
- Chapter 666746 words"Ms. Carter, please help Mr. Powell! He's still in his prime! If he loses mobility, it would be tragic!"
- Chapter 667600 wordsThe moment Miranda Price crossed the threshold and saw the unfamiliar woman in Dominic Powell's bedroom, her lips curled into a knowing smirk.
- Chapter 668527 wordsClaire smoothed the wrinkles from her blazer as she checked her reflection one last time. The mirror showed a woman ready to reclaim her place in the world after maternity leave.
- Chapter 669848 wordsClaire had dined at this restaurant before.
- Chapter 670457 wordsThe sun cast golden rays through the café windows as Evelyn and Claire settled into their usual corner booth. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the soft hum of conversation around them.
- Chapter 671576 wordsEvelyn's face drained of color, her first impulse to flee.
- Chapter 6721,217 wordsThe car hummed softly as Alexander took the wheel, his chivalrous gesture allowing the two women to settle comfortably in the backseat.
- Chapter 673533 wordsEvelyn returned home to a peaceful evening. She savored a light dinner before taking her customary walk around the neighborhood with Susan, her ever-attentive maid.
- Chapter 674879 wordsThe moment Isabella stepped out of the hospital, she didn’t realize she had eyes on her.
- Chapter 675426 wordsThe suitcase wheels clicked against the hardwood floor as Isabella Morgan dragged it toward the bedroom door.
- Chapter 676671 wordsEvelyn was carefully applying rosin to her cello bow, the gentle strains of Mozart's piano sonata filling the room for her unborn child's prenatal stimulation.
- Chapter 677360 wordsAndrew's icy gaze swept over Victoria's face. With a curt nod, he pocketed the change expressionlessly before pushing open the convenience store door.
- Chapter 678761 words"Sir, we've located Ms. Morgan's position."
- Chapter 679797 wordsSebastian Powell's confusion deepened.
- Chapter 680943 wordsEthan's sharp intuition struck true. He'd clearly picked up on something unusual.
- Chapter 681549 wordsThe elevator hummed softly as Vanessa and Evelyn stood in tense silence.
- Chapter 682522 wordsAndrew's phone buzzed violently against the mahogany desk.
- Chapter 683646 wordsThe silence on the other end of the line made Alexander think Andrew was hesitating. "I heard you came from money," he taunted. "Now your whole family's gone except for that sister of yours. What's wrong? Don't care if she lives or dies?"
- Chapter 684818 words"Mr. Powell! Are you hurt!"
- Chapter 685934 words"Bloody hell."
- Chapter 686705 words"The baby is in distress. We need to perform an emergency C-section now." After assessing Evelyn's condition, the doctor wasted no time rushing her into surgery. "Get anesthesia here—stat!"
- Chapter 687667 wordsAlexander also prayed nothing would happen to Evelyn.
- Chapter 688926 wordsAlexander's words on the phone sent a chill down Daniel's spine. His grip tightened around the device, knuckles turning white.

- Chapter 692550 wordsThe acrid scent of smoke assaulted Alexander's senses. He turned toward the factory entrance, his face hardening instantly.
- Chapter 693953 wordsAlexander's breath caught when he saw Isabella's chapped lips. His hands moved swiftly, retrieving a water bottle from his jacket pocket.
- Chapter 6941,031 wordsSimon hadn't anticipated that Evelyn, fresh from childbirth, would be more concerned about seeing Dominic than her own newborn.
- Chapter 695505 wordsThe afternoon sunlight streamed through the hospital windows as Evelyn Carter gathered her acupuncture supplies. She winced slightly as she stood, the pain from her C-section incision sharp but bearable.
- Chapter 696995 wordsEvelyn's heart ached from Richard's harsh words. Without another glance at him or Vanessa, she turned on her heel and strode out of the hospital room.
- Chapter 697820 wordsThe surgeon's face was grim as he stepped out of the operating room. "The patient is in critical condition," he said, his voice low with urgency. "One of her kidneys was violently extracted. The crude procedure she endured has left her at high risk for septic shock."
- Chapter 698708 wordsEvelyn's eyelashes fluttered as consciousness returned.
- Chapter 699694 wordsTalk of the wolf and he's at the door. Yet Alexander's sudden appearance didn't bring Evelyn the comfort she expected. He'd been absent during the horrific accident yesterday. Missing when they wheeled her into emergency surgery. Still nowhere to be found when she woke this morning, disoriented and alone. On what should have been their most important day, Alexander had vanished.
- Chapter 7001,099 wordsEvelyn's eyes lingered on the faint pool of light cast by the kitchen lamp onto the tiled floor. The darkness enveloped the room, yet that small glow offered a sliver of comfort. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Is she...alright?"
- Chapter 7011,006 wordsEvelyn's words struck Alexander like a thunderbolt.
- Chapter 702734 wordsAndrew Morgan huddled in the shadows of a crumbling brick wall, his body trembling from blood loss. Crimson stains spread across his gray hoodie, the fabric clinging to his clammy skin that had taken on an eerie pallor in the moonlight.
- Chapter 703831 wordsVictoria's pulse hammered violently, the sound deafening in her own ears. Adrenaline flooded her system, sharp and merciless. This was terror—the kind that turned your veins to ice; the kind that breathed death in your ear.
- Chapter 704796 words"Awake?" Alexander's voice was soft as he found Evelyn already up, scrolling through her phone in bed. His expression softened immediately. "You should be resting after giving birth. Too much screen time isn't good for your eyes. What would you like for breakfast? I'll prepare it for you."
- Chapter 705745 wordsThe hospital room was quiet as Evelyn Carter unrolled her acupuncture kit beside Dominic Powell's bed.
- Chapter 706703 wordsAlexander feigned seriousness. "Liquidate one of the subsidiaries."
- Chapter 7071,141 wordsThe moment Evelyn agreed to see him, Alexander felt a spark ignite in his chest.
- Chapter 708928 wordsAlexander's expression darkened, his jaw tightening visibly. He opened his mouth to speak, but Evelyn pried his hands from her waist with deliberate slowness, one finger at a time. "Enough. I need rest. Please go."
- Chapter 709775 wordsAfter Claire finished her outburst, a weight lifted from her shoulders, but Alexander's expression darkened like a storm cloud.
- Chapter 710585 wordsEvelyn's heart sank when she saw Alexander's expression.
- Chapter 711642 wordsThe heated argument outside the operating room continued to escalate.
- Chapter 712754 wordsThe tension in the sterile hospital corridor was suffocating.
- Chapter 713859 words"Vanessa, I'm sorry."

- Chapter 715640 wordsThe morning sun had barely risen when Evelyn heard the sharp knock at the door.
- Chapter 7161,136 wordsAlexander's voice held raw sincerity as he murmured, "Evelyn, our son is already here. Don't you want to give him a complete family?"
- Chapter 717732 wordsEvelyn and Alexander stepped inside. The warmth from the heater enveloped them, mingling with the delicate fragrance of gardenias that lingered in the air.
- Chapter 718822 wordsEvelyn hadn't intended to hurt Alexander. The moment it happened, her stomach twisted with guilt. Blood trickled from the cut on his cheekbone, stark against his pale skin.
- Chapter 719551 wordsThe physician wasted no time cutting to the chase. "Mr. Whitmore, your son has a congenital heart defect. He'll require surgery, but given his premature state, the procedure carries significant risks. Most surgeons wouldn't dare operate on an infant this fragile."
- Chapter 720964 wordsP...
- Chapter 721728 wordsAlexander's pride wouldn't allow him to admit the truth. Ethan, still reeling from the punches, couldn't piece everything together, but he had a gut feeling—this was about Evelyn.
- Chapter 722665 wordsAlexander's passionate kiss consumed Evelyn completely, leaving no space for protest. Backlit by the hallway lights, his imposing silhouette engulfed her, pulling her into what felt like an endless vortex of desire and despair.
- Chapter 723734 wordsEvelyn felt a pang of disappointment when she realized her brother Oliver wasn't by her side. "Don't overthink it," she reassured herself. "The doctor's just being cautious with my nephew. Soon enough, the little one will be home where he belongs."
- Chapter 724811 wordsThe moment Alexander ended the call, his phone rang again.
- Chapter 725748 wordsThe drive home felt endless for Evelyn.
- Chapter 726647 wordsEvelyn's gaze lingered on the empty crib.
- Chapter 727621 wordsThe following days passed in quiet routine.
- Chapter 728817 wordsEvelyn hesitated for only a brief moment before rejecting Dominic's offer. The reason was simple—she already owed him too much.
