登入Chapter 182: The Love That Went UnnoticedRyan found a birthday cake that had been ruined and thrown into the trash, along with a few decorative ribbons from the birthday party.When he saw his own name and Lilya's written on it, along with the words, "Happy 15th Birthday to Mommy's Two Beautiful Children," Ryan's heart trembled, and his throat tightened.For the past ten years, it seemed that Ella had never overlooked a single important day in the twins' lives. Their birthdays, Children's Day, the first day of school, the end of the school year... she had carefully prepared everything.But had anyone ever paid attention to any of it?Ryan burst into tears. He wondered if he had ever once cared about how Ella felt while preparing all these little things.Some acts of kindness are so small and repeated so often that people mistake them for obligations. Ella's quiet sacrifices had made everyone in this family believe that everything she did was simply expected of her.But at this moment
Chapter 181: If a Second Chance Didn't ExistLife is, by nature, a series of choices. If you make the wrong one, you have to accept the price and the loss that comes with it. Some prices are so painful that they take an entire lifetime to repay.That is why there isn't always a second chance to start over. It is simply the natural law of life.And if Ella had never been given a second chance, her life would have truly ended the moment she collapsed onto the road that day.News that Mrs. Dominic had been struck by a car spread rapidly throughout high society. Everyone was stunned, and rumors immediately began to circulate.Reporters surrounded every possible location, trying to learn about Ella's condition. Even the hospital was no exception. However, the Dominic family chose to keep all information about Ella confidential, and the hospital had also been instructed to remain silent.The entire upper class waited, anticipating a clear update.The moment Leo received news of the accident
Chapter 180: I DoMy mind went blank.Wasn't it just a stabbing? How had it become life-threatening? Had the knife struck a fatal spot?What was I supposed to do now?Countless terrifying possibilities flooded my mind, and fear wrapped itself tightly around my heart. The moment I realized I had placed Leo's existence above everything else, I finally understood just how deeply I loved him.In both my previous life and this one, I had always loved Leo, yet my love had been suppressed for one reason or another. This chance to turn back time made me realize that it wasn't only an opportunity to make up for my regrets. It also helped me understand my own feelings.I hurried into my car and drove straight to the hospital, my heart pounding with constant anxiety.As soon as I reached the waiting area outside the operating room, I saw the two children and Anessa sitting there, their faces filled with worry.The moment Anessa saw me, she walked over, gently took my hand, and gestured for me to
Chapter 179: Why Did You Protect Me?Ann charged straight at me with a razor-sharp kitchen knife in her hand, less than a meter away.Damn it! When did she get here?My legs were still trembling from the aftermath of the gunshots. I had unconsciously relaxed because I thought everything was over, and now I didn't have the strength to move at all.Right before my eyes, Ryan suddenly broke free from the bodyguards' arms and rushed toward Ann, trying to stop her. The fear and worry in his eyes made my heart clench.No, don't!Just as I reached out my hand, Leo forcefully pulled both Ryan and me backward, wrapping us tightly in his embrace.Thud!Ann drove the knife straight into Leo's back right in front of my eyes.Blood slowly seeped from the wound, dripping onto the ground one cold drop at a time. I stared blankly as I reached out and lightly touched the wound, my entire body turning rigid.The screams around me became nothing but ringing in my ears. I no longer knew what I was doing.
Chapter 178: Meeting Him AgainAt the end of the horizon, the light of dawn was shining. Brilliant enough to blind the eyes.I raised my head and looked at the man who appeared with the dawn. I couldn't tell whether it was the light of the sunrise or the light surrounding Leo that made my heart pound so fiercely.I had felt this feeling for a long time, yet I had always refused to admit it.Sometimes, Leo's presence made everyone around him seem insignificant.Was it because he himself was already a flawless creation? Or because ordinary people like us simply lacked the ability to turn the entire game around with one hand the way he could?My heart tingled. I was both unable to believe it and so aggrieved that it was impossible to describe.Ryan gently tugged at the hem of my shirt and said happily,"Aunt Ella, my dad is here!"But I was so shocked and bewildered that I couldn't respond to Ryan.Finn Muller was grinding his teeth in fury. He muttered like a madman,"Impossible. How co
Chapter 177: Eat a Bullet, Finn MullerI slapped Finn's hand away from my hair and shot him a warning glare.Looking at Bianca in such a miserable state, no one in their right mind would still want to stay by his side. I wondered just how far Finn was willing to indulge me.How many of my demands would he agree to?Bianca had been captured here by Finn, which meant the blackmail against the Dominic family had also been orchestrated by him. In that case, the twins were probably in his hands as well.At first, I had thought that if the twins were with Bianca, I could persuade her through emotion. Now it seemed that was meaningless. Finn had confidently summoned me here and revealed everything because he was certain I would have no way to refuse while the twins were completely under his control.I sighed softly."Finn Muller, Bianca, the Oliver family, even Julian Bennett, none of them matter to me. Why should I hand my life over to you? If you want me, then try offering a price that's a
Chapter 98: Showing OffThinking about it now, it was honestly pretty ridiculous. Julian had seen Ann Oliver cling to Leo countless times, yet in the end, he still chose to let everything slide after just a few words from her.As for Nolan, he was the very definition of a hypocrite, so there was no
Chapter 96: Sumire’s New GuardianLina leaned against my shoulder and sighed.“Tell me, with how amazing a secretary’s benefits are nowadays, what’s the point of us struggling out here on our own? Maybe we should just go work as secretaries for my cousin instead.” I burst out laughing at Lina’s wo
Chapter 95: A Secretary Who’s a BillionaireThe moment I saw that expression on Leo’s face, I immediately realized he was planning something not very innocent. For some reason, memories of last night suddenly surfaced in my mind again.Lina seemed to sense something as well, so she quickly stood up
Chapter 85: Why Didn’t She Hold Even the Slightest Hope?Lilya and Ryan were originally mischievous children. Leo knew very well that most of the women who approached him were driven away by these two kids. Previously, he did not care much about this matter. Their mischief helping him avoid those t
