It was late at night. Once again, Stephen was under the big tree at Miller Villa. He remained there until all of the lights in the building went out before driving home.The road was empty, and his surroundings were silent. As he drove, Stephen began to get lost in his thoughts. All of a sudden, he heard a loud noise come from behind him, and a strong impact shook his car. Stephen frowned when he saw a black Volkswagen in his rearview mirror. The driver had already gotten out of the Volkswagen. His gait was uneven, and he staggered forward. It seemed like he was drunk. Stephen thought it was a simple case of drunk driving, so he got out of his car without a second thought."It's best to let the police handle this case of drunk driving," Stephen said as he moved to call the police. To his surprise, the driver charged at him suddenly and sent his phone flying.Immediately after that, a group of men in masks got out of the car and surrounded Stephen. It happened too fast, and Steph

At Miller Tower, Yvonne turned to Julian once he'd finished explaining the situation to her. She replied, "You're expecting me to find someone that even the Anderson family can't? You must think too highly of me."There was a look of distress on Julian's face as he said, "Madam, I understand that you're still upset with him, but these are—""These are two separate matters, yes. You've turned to me because I'm your last resort, and you want to know if I have any leads," Yvonne said. She shrugged her shoulders and continued, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. Instead of wasting time talking to me, you should pay a few more visits to the police."Seeing that Yvonne was about to get up and leave, Julian stopped her and cried, "Madam! Mr. Anderson went missing because he went to see you! He'd been driving to the Miller Villa every night, forbidding anyone from accompanying him. He'd stay there until it was late at night before returning home."Yvone paused when she heard that, a co

On the outskirts of Northerna City, there was a vast open area where heaps of abandoned cargo containers were stacked. It was very secluded, and nobody had set foot in the area for the past year.That night, a man and woman walked into the abandoned junkyard. They were both wearing black sweaters that blended their silhouettes into the night perfectly.Curtis headed straight toward a container. He hesitated a little as he took out the keys. It had only been three days. How could it possibly compare to the pain that Yvonne had to go through with her abortion?Despite his reluctance, Yvonne was standing behind him, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and unlock the doors to the container.A cold metallic flash flew by them as soon as he pushed the doors open.Stephen had launched himself at Curtis the instant the doors opened. Yvonne quickly struck Stephen's neck with the blunt side of her knife.Stephen fell, and the glass shard in his hand also fell to the ground.Curtis s

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and Elizabeth wasn't doing as badly as they'd thought.When Elizabeth had been sent to the ICU, Philip had gone to meet Dr. Faber. He'd been briefed on the situation via phone call earlier that morning.He was furious and yelled, "Find those people for me! Turn the entire city upside down if you have to! These punks had the audacity to attack the Anderson family! We can't let them go so easily."Hazel muttered, "Hmph! Stephen's usual attitude must've rubbed many people the wrong way. That's why this happened to him. Ugh, he should be the only one to bear the consequences. Why did it have to affect Mother too?"William nudged her and signaled her to shut up. Philip ignored her underhanded remark and turned to Stephen, saying, "I just spoke with Dr. Faber about Elizabeth's condition. He has a friend who specializes in neurology. Do you think we should have them examine her?"Stephen nodded and said, "Yeah.""Alright, that's settled. As long a

"Grandpa, you should know that God will bless you for saving a life." Yvonne smiled and held his arm. "You've been doing good all your life. You can't just ignore that because of me."Old Jim furrowed his brows. "That old hag likes to bully you so much, yet you still want me to save her. Won't that just enable her to think that she can do whatever she likes to us?""No, you can't think of it that way," Yvonne persuaded. "If you really save her life, she'll think of you as her savior. Do you think she'll dare be rude to you in the future?"Old Jim stroked his beard and thought for a while. "What you said makes sense. By then, we'll make sure she can't do anything to us, no matter how badly she wants to!"Yvonne clapped her hands. "That's right!"Old Jim was delighted by the thought. "Alright, we'll do as you say!" "But," he looked at Yvonne slyly and continued, "if you were to treat her yourself, wouldn't that drive her even crazier?"Yvonne was speechless. The cheeky old man!…

That night, Yvonne arrived at the hospital. Sure enough, just as Old Jim had said, Elizabeth was alone in her ward. Yvonne performed the treatment plan according to Old Jim's diagnosis, placing needles into assorted acupuncture points swiftly.By the time she pulled out the final acupuncture needle, Elizabeth was showing signs of coming around. Yvonne didn't panic. She slowly packed up her medical bag, left a prescription, and went out of the ward.A figure in the corridor made her stop in her tracks.Stephen was standing in a dark corner, bearing an air of frost. "It turns out that your master from the countryside is a great doctor."Yvonne couldn't be bothered to talk to him. She chose to ignore him and head directly to the elevator. Stephen blocked her right in front of the elevator doors. "Yvonne, are you really planning to not talk to me at all?"Thanks to the lights from the elevator doors, she finally saw his injuries clearly. He had bruises and scratches on his face. His a

Elizabeth deliberately chose a private membership club. Outside the private room was a garden with a bridge over a small brook. Having tea in such a setting would make one feel incredibly calm.After all, she was inviting the Clarke family and her life savior that day, so she had to pick a great place.Surprisingly, Stephen had not only arrived early, but he'd even taken a seat. Elizabeth was delighted. She immediately perked up and looked at Stephen, smiling widely.Philip didn't know what was going on and found it a little strange. "What are you smiling at? The focus isn't on Stephen today.""You'll find out soon."Seeing how Elizabeth was teasing his curiosity, he casually asked, "Why have Charles and his family not been around ever since I returned?""I heard that they took Conan abroad to get him treated. Two days ago, Charles called me and said that they wouldn't be coming back for a while." Elizabeth tutted condescendingly and said, "Camille isn't willing to give up. How c

Upon hearing what Elizabeth said, Philip panicked. "What are you talking about? Old Jim is your life savior!"Elizabeth was bewildered. She looked at Old Jim in bafflement and asked with much difficulty, "W—what did you say?"Philip couldn't be bothered with her. He quickly went up to welcome Old Jim by shaking his hand and offering his apologies. "I'm so sorry, my wife must have had some misunderstanding …"Then Philip noticed Yvonne, who was standing right behind Old Jim. He couldn't help but be surprised. Yvonne, do you know Old Jim?"Yvonne nodded. "Yes, Old Jim was my mentor when I was in the countryside. I usually call him Grandpa."Philip suddenly came to a realization. Yvonne had indeed mentioned that she'd learned a little bit of medicine from an old doctor back in the countryside. Then Philip chuckled loudly. "Yvonne, you've been too humble! You have such great medical skills and learned medicine from such a great doctor, yet you've kept it hidden from me!"Yvonne chuck

"Speaking about love, I really need to ask you a thing or two, Ms. Clarke. Back when Stephen was blind, you left just like that. Now that he can see, you cling to him for dear life. Can you call your behavior love? It feels more like taking advantage.""Y—you know nothing!" Ariel panicked. "I was forced to leave Stephen back then.""So, I can read it as you backing out of an unideal situation?" Yvonne wasn't interested in their past, nor did she want to listen to Ariel's explanation. At that moment, she was just very unhappy. "Ms. Clarke, stop making excuses for yourself. It barely holds any weight. Perhaps you would dare to swear in front of everyone?"Yvonne spoke on a whim. "Do you dare to swear that the reason you left without any contact for so many years had nothing to do with Stephen being blind?""I …" Ariel's guilty conscience weighed on her. She stuttered for a long time but couldn't find her words.Yvonne sneered. "Don't just assume that pursuing Stephen after you've we

Elizabeth returned home filled with fury and regret. If she'd known earlier, she wouldn't have arranged that meal!Hazel noticed that something was off with Elizabeth. Before she could ask her about it, Elizabeth stormed upstairs. Hazel could only turn to Philip in confusion. "What's going on?"Elizabeth had left the house in a good mood earlier. She'd even said that she wanted to show the Clarkes how sincere they were. Had the Clarke family rejected her?Philip sighed and said, "Old Jim's disciple turned out to be Yvonne.""What?" Hazel couldn't believe it. "Yvonne? Isn't she just an uncultured country bumpkin? How could she possibly know about medicine? Did Old Jim do this on purpose to make Mother unhappy?"At that, Philip furrowed his brows even more. Everyone in this family was blind and didn't recognize talent."Hey, Father, where are you going? Tell me, I …" Hazel saw Philip going upstairs and swallowed the rest of her words disdainfully. It looked like Philip was under Yv
