"Please ring up these items for me."On scorching summer days like this, convenience stores are still an excellent choice for many people. The line of customers waiting to pay was long and continuous. The young man at the cash register was swiftly tallying up the purchases, his movements incredibly fast, with constant beeping sounds. At the same time, a bright smile always adorned his face, and the phrase "Welcome to 10&3" was ready to greet each customer who walked in.Just then, another young man emerged from the changing room, apparently also an employee of 10&3, and had just finished changing into his uniform. He approached the cashier and said, "It's my shift now, Edward. Take a break.""Okay," Edward replied, glancing at his watch while switching positions with the new arrival. It was precisely one o'clock in the afternoon, and he had to hurry to the Winmart mini supermarket to make it in time for his shift from two in the afternoon until ten in the evening."Running another sho

Leaving the library, Edward returns to his dormitory. However, as he entered the room, his roommate, Harry, greeted him with a sad and panicked expression."Oh, Edward, what happened to you? Where were you? Do you know what's going on? The whole school forum is buzzing about you going into the women's restroom in the library and spying! I can't believe this!"Edward's heart tightened as he realized the seriousness of the situation.Did those people post about him on social media already? They were so fast that they didn't listen to Olivia's words. Yes, they took pictures of him, and someone even recorded a video. Those cameras were like guns, and social media were the most extensive courtroom where anyone could be condemned.Edward hurriedly sat down at his desk and turned on his computer. Despite mentally preparing himself, he couldn't help but fall silent when he accessed the university forum.He had become the target of gossip and false accusations, and now, terrible insults were b

"Let me open the door," Emily said.After three knocks on the door, Emily finally stood up. She didn't know who was knocking, and whoever it was, they couldn't have come at a worse time during this chaotic and private moment for her family.Emily reached out and opened the door, raising her gaze. But as soon as she saw who it was, her expression immediately turned cold and changed.Her first words were not a greeting or an invitation into the house, as she had imagined in her head. Instead, she asked, "What are you doing here?"It was Edward who had arrived, someone who was not welcomed in this house. And Emily's words also notified the other three people inside the house of his presence.Edward glanced inside the house that had once been so familiar to him, where he had lived from birth until eight. It has changed significantly, with luxurious and eye-catching decorations, and even the people living within it have changed.Yes, he carried the Sherwood name and was also one of the "me

Edward's consciousness finally returned, though he had no idea how much time had passed. He wondered what had happened to him after he had blacked out. Did the people around him do something to him? Was he still alive?Slowly, he began to feel the weight of his body, starting with his hands and feet. He could sense the heaviness, dampness, and a dull ache. Edward's eyes fluttered open, and before him was a blur of white, the ceiling of a plasterboard room. Then, his hearing started to come back as well. He caught a whiff of antiseptic, the distinctive smell of a hospital.A hospital?At this moment, Edward fully realized he was in a hospital. His gaze felt like a foggy lens being cleared as he struggled to sit and take in his surroundings. It was a spacious room, resembling more of a hotel suite than a hospital room. There was only one bed in the room, and in the middle, there was a settee, a cabinet, a TV, and various medical equipment."This is... a VIP ward?" Edward questioned, his

That must be Felicia Swan and her father, Mr. Swan.Felicia is a girl with a pleasant and gentle face. She has long, lightly curled black hair that falls on her shoulders. Her skin is fair like snow, and her facial features are not considered stunningly beautiful or overly sharp, but everything is harmonious and balanced. Her nose is not too high but straight, and she has big, round, sparkling eyes with long natural eyelashes. Her eyebrows are delicate, and she has heart-shaped lips. Her figure is also well-proportioned, not too tall or too thin. She is wearing a simple off-the-shoulder wedding dress and holding a white wedding bouquet.At first glance, aside from the slight flaw in her eyes, Felicia doesn't have any other imperfections.Edward walks to her side, and it seems like she senses his presence as she turns to face him. Edward holds her hand, and in the complex gaze of everyone around, her writing feels soft, like cotton, and warm. He raises his hand to his arm, allowing her
