Chapter 321 He was trying to emulate the real Max, to spoil me, but he didn’t know me very well. I stopped drinking milk after my rebirth, a fact Max knew better than anyone. “Helen p> I called for Helen, who was mingling with other guests. She hurried over when
Chapter 320 As I walked out arm in arm with Max, I felt the muscle in his arm. It seemed thinner. I hadn’t noticed it so much last night. I’d thought he had lost weight recently, but not to the point of feeling this gaunt. “Max, after a while, let’s
Chapter 319 Helen pursed her lips in a smile. “That Babur would probably explode if he knew Max wasn’t marrying Lily. After all the scheming he’s done p> “What’s his endgame p> I suddenly couldn’t figure out what Babur was after. He had watched Garrett’s rule for years, saw it
Chapter 318 When I woke up the next day, I could already hear preparations underway outside. The engagement ceremony was to be held on the lawn outside the castle. Max said many people would be there, including his ambitious uncle, Duke Babur. He figured that if his uncle found out
Chapter 317 It was the feeling of overcoming every obstacle, only to be stabbed in the back by the person you love most. “This way, for what the master has prepared for you.” A servant pulled back a curtain, revealing a collection of dresses all in a uniform light blue.
Chapter 316 I’ve seen many poppies in my life. Claude grew them. Richard grew them. In the end, I found that the ones my mother planted herself were the most beautiful, the most splendid. “Poppies symbolize a parting in death, and a loyal devotion. Do you think that back then,
Chapter 315 Max’s words made me nervous. “But Lily will use force to suppress them. Won’t they be in great danger p> “Yes, but no nation achieves stability without going through fire and war. Richard and Ronald will take control of all of Bravenland together p> “Richard’s awake?” That was
Chapter 314 Max understood my meaning, his brow furrowing slightly. Still, he said to Babur, “I’m taking her with me. Otherwise, there will be no engagement party tomorrow p> I looked up at Max. I had thought he would be under immense pressure facing Babur, but he was as composed
Chapter 313 I could hardly believe my ears. Was Babur this unhinged? “If you were meek and submissive like Lily, obeying my every word just to borrow my power, I wouldn’t find you interesting at all.” Babur waved his hand dismissively and continued, “Since you don’t like it, this shop
Chapter 312 I had no intention of engaging with him any further. There was no point in talking to madman. As soon as we got off the plane, he forcibly pulled me to his side. He was tall and had a long stride, but he deliberately slowed his pace to
Chapter 311 “Your eyes look more like Lenore’s than even Lily’s. How could you not be her child? Here, let me show you a picture of Lenore p> He pulled out a tablet and handed it to me. It was filled with photos of Lenore and no one else. This
Chapter 310 Just as planned, a fire broke out in the mall, though it was contained to our immediate area. Helen put on my outer jacket, while I changed into a different colored outfit and ran in the opposite direction. As Helen dashed out first, our pursuers immediately went after
Chapter 309 I didn’t want Allen to end up like them. “I’m just kidding,” he said. “There actually is a medical conference coming up soon. I’ll find a way to bring the supplies over. I should be there in about two days p> I did the math. If he arrived
Chapter 308 I smiled and shook my head. “It won’t be over that quickly. Even if Lily dies, this country will fall into chaos. Someone will need to step up and lead. Max, I don’t want to hide behind you forever p> Under the moonlight, Max’s eyes were filled with
Chapter 307 Helen was ready. She jogged over, holding a lunchbox in her hands. When she saw the girl’s mother, she quickly hid the box behind her back. The mother lowered her head in embarrassment. I held out my hand to Helen and said, “Bring it out and share some
Chapter 306 After Lily left, Helen and I came out of the inner room. The people swarmed over to divide the candy. They had no other food; they survived each day solely on the energy from these sweets, barely clinging to life. Helen stomped her foot in anger. “She fooled
Chapter 305 Everything that had happened felt like a dream. “Okay. I know you went to the other side of the Saltmere River, so I had Helen and Kate go over to help you p> As he spoke, he took out the ring box I had told Kate to throw
Chapter 304 We got the girl to the hospital, but because she and her mother were so dirty, no doctor or nurse was willing to treat them. “I’m a doctor. I will take full responsibility. Here’s money. Please, save her p> When I took out a wad of cash, they
Chapter 303 But I couldn’t speak it yet. If I was going to live here for a while, I had to try to communicate with them. I knelt, reaching out to a little girl, but she flinched and pulled her hand back. “I’m here to help you p> I didn’t
Chapter 302 Just when I thought I was free to leave, I found myself back at the hospital, sitting with Richard Price. The doctors said his body was showing strong vital signs lately and that he might wake up soon. They suggested I come and talk to him more often.
