“Yes... yes...” Katherine hesitantly replied, suddenly feeling foolish for speaking out loud without fully understanding what was going on.“Let me explain to Laramie a bit. This little guy just blabs on and on,” Kimmy continued, seizing the opportunity to complete her drama. “Laramie probably thinks your ex-husband will save you because your daughter is there, not because of some random kid. Think about it, even if your ex doesn’t love you and treats you badly, he still loves his daughter, right? So he wouldn’t let his daughter witness her mother’s death. The bullets were calculated, too. If your ex saves you, it hits his vital points, but if not, it won’t hit you. That’s how you saw it. How could Laramie see you as a sacrificial pawn? Right?”Listening to Kimmy’s explanation, Katherine felt like honey poured into her ears, believing with no doubt. To her, Kimmy’s words were the only ones worth trusting.“Yes, I understand now. I misunderstood Laramie. I was wrong.”“That’s right.” K

Lewis was intimidated by Kimmy’s actions. He looked at her without a word, breathless. No one could have imagined that a heavily tattooed gangster like him would be afraid of a woman like her.Facing Lewis, Kimmy applied pressure with a serious question. The atmosphere became heavy, but their eyes met.“I’ve heard a story,” Kimmy said, her voice calm but carrying an undeniable tension. “Mercenary organizations and assassins always adhere to an unspoken rule that anyone who falls into the hands of the enemy must commit suicide to avoid revealing their client’s secrets. Regardless of who violates it, their family will have to bury them. Isn’t that right?”Lewis felt like a heavy stone was on his back. He lifted his eyes to look at Kimmy, the light from the lamp sparkling in his dim eyes. “That’s correct,” he admitted. “But... but...”“But what?” Kimmy sensed his hesitation and knew that things were taking a turn for the worse.Lewis sighed, trying to control his emotions. “It’s obvious

At night, the hospital appeared emptier, especially in the ICU area where most patients’ families had returned home, leaving few to keep vigil. The space was quiet, with dim lights making any sound or object appear conspicuous. A nurse pushed a trolley down the hospital corridor. In the soft glow of the hallway lights, the nurse’s face appeared ghostly, her steps gentle but steady, emphasizing her purpose as she pushed the trolley ahead. The gentle light highlighted delicate lines on her face.Her bright white uniform almost blended into the dim hallway. As she walked, her eyes darted around, as if alert and wary of something. She moved faster, her initially steady steps becoming more chaotic. Finally, she stopped in front of room 201.Her gaze flicked up to the sign above the door, then she glanced around the corridor once more. After confirming no one was present, she pushed the door open and stepped inside. This was the VIP ICU room, occupied by only one patient, Justin.He lay sti

“This story is quite long. I’ll tell you later,” Justin said as he changed out of the patient gown and into another outfit. “I’ll go first, and if anyone asks, just tell them I’ve passed away. Remember to provide a death certificate as well.”He spoke, then quickly left. But just as Justin’s hand touched the cold surgical room door handle, Ace’s hesitant voice suddenly rang out:“Hey...”Justin turned back, seeing Ace’s eyes still filled with astonishment. Perhaps he hadn’t been able to process the amount of information Justin had just disclosed.Indeed... this news would be shocking to someone he had just reunited with.Justin looked at Ace, straight into his eyes, but after a moment passed, Ace still said nothing. Just stood there and looked at him. Justin had little time, and he was in a hurry, so he grunted as a reminder to Ace.Upon hearing that, Ace seemed to startle, as if someone had turned a robot off and then back on again. His once frozen gaze returned to normal, and he gla

Hospital,Caesar drove straight into the hospital parking lot, hastily parking the car. Leona and Monica rushed out of the car with him, hurrying inside the building. The sparkling lights on the ceiling and the echoing footsteps on the tiled floor added to the tense atmosphere.As they approached the reception desk, a staff member was already waiting to greet them. Leona, with a worried expression, kept calling out, "Justin! Justin, oh my Justin..." She burst into tears, sobbing desperately, truly resembling someone who had just lost a loved one. "Justin, oh Justin, you're too young, please, God, bring him back to us. Hu hu hu, I can't bear this pain." Seeing Leona staggering, leaning on Caesar to walk, she looked truly desperate. Leona had to rely on Caesar to move forward. At this point, neither Caesar nor Monica knew what to say. Without this incident, they wouldn't have known that Leona had such talent for shedding tears like a mobile water faucet. When it was time to cry, she out
