"The E.R. said that they called the police when they brought her here, but they didn't say how she got hurt …""She must have been beaten up by someone. Otherwise, how do you explain her injuries?!""Don't celebrities have agents, bodyguards, and stuff? Normal people wouldn't be able to get close to them, so how the hell did someone even beat her up?""That's for celebs who are popular now! For a washed-up one like Yvette, what agent would care about her, especially with the huge scandal that got exposed so recently?"Larissa was originally listening to the gossip as a way to relieve her boredom, but when the name "Yvette" popped out of a nurse's mouth, she froze at once. Once she had connected the previous dialogues to this, she was very surprised.Yvette was … beaten up by someone? But … who would do that?Like Larissa, Gary's attention was also drawn by the nurses' conversation. He slowed down until he decided to just stop walking.There were only two nurses who were in charg

Lewis had come to the hospital early, spending nearly half an hour reporting to Gary about work-related things. Then he stayed here, occasionally giving Mrs. Griffin a hand, though most of the time he sat on a sofa nearby with his laptop in his lap to deal with work.When Gary pushed Larissa out of the ward, Lewis was still focused on reading work emails from Aldovia.Mrs. Griffin looked outside the door. "He went to answer a call and left. But his things are still here, so he will probably be back soon." As she said, Lewis' laptop was still placed on the sofa he had been sitting on, and the power indicator was still lit, which clearly meant that he had just left not long ago.Gary passed Larissa over to Mrs. Griffin. "Help Lari get into the bed. I will call Lewis." However, before the call went through, Lewis came back. The phone in his hand rang at this time. Lewis looked down to see before asking Gary in surprise, "You were looking for me, Gary?"Gary did not rush to speak. He w

Lewis was a little resigned, and he could not help but feel sorry for Kevan."It's his Uncle Bernard's 60th birthday today. He originally did not want to go, but his parents insisted that he attended, so …" Lewis defended Kevan. "If you have something really important to tell him, I will contact him now.""No need." Gary rejected his suggestion. "Telling him tomorrow when he comes is fine too."Lewis and Larissa looked at each other, and they pursed their lips simultaneously.…There were all kinds of luxurious cars parked in front of the Regal Dynasty Hotel. This spectacle caused many passers-by to stop and stare while letting out a series of rueful lamentations.Kevan parked his car in the midst of all of them, and his phone rang just as he pushed open the car door."Kevan, are you here yet?" Violet's voice came through the speakers.Kevan held his phone in one hand, while his other hand reached to the passenger's seat to grab the wrapped gift. "I just arrived.""Oh, good, g

Sitting at the main head table were the three Rogers brothers and their sons. The women and grandchildren were arranged to sit at the next head table close by.The moment Kevan got closer, Anthony stood up and waved at him. "Kevan, here!"The gazes of everyone else at the table only fell on him then.There was an empty seat next to Anthony, which had clearly been left for Kevan.Kevan did not take his seat at once but went over to Bernard to give him the prepared gift. "Happy birthday, Uncle Bernard." Kevan smiled faintly, his voice had a rare trace of gentleness when faced with all these people—he was always good with pulling superficial performances, even during the years in which the relationship of his side and theirs was at its most strained. He never did anything that could allow anyone to hold leverage over him when it came to public and social settings.It was just that, ever since he "lost" his memory, he was colder to his family and friends. So, his attitude today surpri

Seeing that the atmosphere had become awkward, Cody and Edmund immediately came to smooth things over. One pulled on Bernard while the other went to persuade Maria."Dad, Mom is only doing this for your own good! Please don't be angry!""Forget it, Mom. It's Dad's 60th birthday today. Just show him a bit of respect and not cause a scene here, please? There are people watching!"No one bothered to apologize to Kevan—of course, he never expected them to either. In the confusion, he silently went over to sit in his seat, trading a look with Anthony before quietly observing this farce. However, the farce did not last long. After both sons had persuaded them, combined with the stares from the guests, Bernard and Maria calmed down very quickly.Cody got a waiter to clean up the mess on the floor, and once Bernard's emotions were fully calm, the feast officially started.There was an emcee for the feast. Cody had spent a great deal of money on this too, for he had hired a well-known host

Kevan ignored her words, feeling for his phone to text Dylan via WhatsApp. "Give me a call in ten minutes."He only came for his parents' sake. Now that all social formalities had been taken care of, it was time to "retreat." He did think of accompanying his parents until the end of the event, but it was annoying to be in the company of Uncle Bernard's family, and he could not stand their drivel.Seeing that Kevan disregarded her completely, Maria had trouble keeping the smile on her face. "Kevan, boy, it's not that I'm criticizing you or whatever." The reproach in her voice grew stronger. "Earning money may be important, but you should be supporting your parents well too! When your parents are gone a few years later, who are you going to spend all that money on?""Don't worry, Aunt Maria." Kevan put his phone down and smiled faintly. "The money I give my parents every year is more than what your sons are able to earn combined. Besides, I have a daughter to raise too, so I must work

"Has the police been called? What did they say?""Did the kidnapper call? How much money do they want?"…The chattering discussion attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, to the point that Bernard, who was still in the midst of delivering his speech on stage, was ignored. Bernard deliberately tapped the mic with his fingers and cleared his throat twice, but he was unable to draw the attention of the crowd back to him.Kevan looked down, his hands clenched into fists on the table."Yes." After a long moment, he bit out this word with great difficulty."It's been so long! Has she not yet been rescued?!" Cody's voice grew louder from his anxiety.The guests further away were startled as they looked over as one.Cody wanted this matter to be known by all, so he did not control the volume of his voice. "Beth is your biological daughter! How can you be so heartless, Kevan? It's not like you lack that bit of money! Can you bear to just watch her die?" His "indignant" serie

Dylan's phone call only came after Kevan had reached the bottom floor of the hotel. "I'm already out." Kevan waved off the lobby manager and walked straight out of the hotel before getting into his car."So soon?" Dylan was a little surprised but figured it out after a moment's thought. "Those vampires tried to create trouble for you again?"Although Kevan did not like those two families, he never started anything on his end. He only ever retaliated because the two Rogers branch families kept provoking him on purpose. Not wanting to dwell on this subject further, Kevan asked Dylan, "How're things with you?"Dylan glanced at the ward door that was firmly shut next door before lowering his voice. "Something did happen."Kevan's nerves were pulled taut at once as he slammed the gas pedal all the way down. The black Maserati shot out like an arrow loose from a bow as it raced away through the night.…It normally took 45 minutes to get to Victory General Hospital from Regal Dynasty b
