CHAPTER 513
Zakaria wanted to kill both Louis and Bella, but they were able to hold their ground against him.“Let’s go,” Cranston said and left the scene.“Tsk, consider yourselves lucky, crooks,” Zakaria blurted before turning into a blur and vanishing from their sight.Louis looked at Bella, whose hand was darkened because of blocking Zakaria’s technique. “He must have coated his nails with some kind of poison, that bastard.” Judging by how it managed to paralyze Bella’s arm, it was no ordinary poison. “We were able to stop him from stealing our life span, but if those guys come again, we’ll be doomed.”“I think one of us should take Rebecca to a safer place, somewhere no one can follow us,” Bella suggested.“Why would Rebecca come with me?” Louis asked.“She won’t. That’s why you should take her when she’s unconscious,” Bella said.“Let’s say I took her away from here, and those three vampires returned to this villa,” Louis said. “What then? In the best case scenario, they’re going to take yo
CHAPTER 514
A few hours later.Night has fallen. Akash was sitting outside the room Veronica was in because he was not being let inside. He looked very dull because his parents were kidnapped, and his wife had fallen sick.“The doctor who said he’d come in the evening hasn’t come yet,” Elizabeth frustratedly said. “He must have been threatened by Andrew. Otherwise, he would have come.” While the others were silent, she was the only one yelling in the room.Selena, on the other hand, called Brian and asked him to send a trustworthy doctor.Brian said he would.Lisa and Roshan were watching television in the hall. Even though they didn’t put loud volume, Elizabeth scolded them and told them to go to their rooms. And they did.About an hour later.A new doctor came to the sterling villa. Brian personally brought him. Louis was standing at the gate. After Brian and the doctor went inside, Bella was coming out in a car, with her children unconscious in the back.She stopped at the gate and said, “You

Rebecca was sitting by Veronica’s side. She noticed that the swelling around her right eye darkened as if blood clotted there. Selena put her hand on Rebecca’s shoulder. “She’s going to be fine.” “What happened to her eye, Mom?” Rebecca asked. “It looks like someone punched her, but I know she didn’t get punched because I was with her all the time.” “Didn’t the doctor say that stress can sometimes do that?” Selena said. “That doctor didn’t come again, did he? How can we trust his words?” “You’re right. That’s why I called for a different doctor.” “Can we trust him?” “I think so.” Just then, Brian and the new doctor enter the room, as guided by the maid Amber. The doctor was a relative of Brian, but he looked more like a gangster than a doctor because his biceps would be at least 25 inches thick. And he was as tall as Shawn, so he looked like a standing rhinoceros. “My name is Bunny,” the doctor shook his hand with Selena, but then he wasn’t letting go of her hand and kept sha
CHAPTER 516
Brian didn’t leave with Bunny but came back and talked to Selena in front of Rebecca. “It’s going to be fine. She’s going to wake up soon, I promise. Doctor Bunny is a highly capable individual, so I’m confident that he’ll cure your daughter’s condition.”“Thanks for bringing him, but I still find it difficult to believe that my daughter has been poisoned by parasites,” Selena pitifully said. “She’s someone who doesn’t even walk barefooted on the ground. So, it’s really baffling that she’s got parasites in her.”Brian’s gaze soon shifted to Rebecca who was gently rubbing her sister’s palm. He liked what he saw. “All of you are wishing for her recovery, so I’m sure your good wishes will come true.”“I hope so.”Meanwhile, Bella stopped by a gas station to completely fill the tank. Her left hand that was poisoned was still hurting.As she was filling, a couple of white vans suddenly entered the gas station. The doors opened, and half a dozen men stepped out.Bella immediately raised the

“You idiots!” Samuel Sehla shouted through the phone. “What do you mean you failed to capture her? I want her brought over to me before the sun shines, or I’m going to make you pay me ten times the advance I paid you!”“W-We’ll get her this time for sure, sir,” a somewhat tense voice spoke from the other side.“You better,” Samuel hissed and then cut the call. “Bunch of fools. They can’t even capture one woman, and they call themselves a gang.”“Calm down, darling,” Samuel’s girlfriend, Inyana, gently massaged his shoulders from behind. “Anger will only drain your energy quickly and doesn’t help with achieving your goal.”Samuel sighed. “Yeah. You’re right.” He lifted his head, and she kissed him on the lips. “Now, my anger has completely faded away.”“Haha,” Inyana chuckled a little. “They don’t know who I am, so why don’t I enter the Sterling villa and bring them out one by one to you?”Samuel was very surprised to hear that. “B-But, if they realize what’s going on, you will be in
CHAPTER 518
“Joke?” Rebecca’s expression turned slightly cold. She was already in a bad mood because of what happened to her sister. If not for the fact that it was Brian who brought the doctor, Rebecca would have lashed out at him by now. “Mr. Brian… Do you know what’s the most difficult thing to achieve for any artist?”“Um, I’m not an artist, so I’m not sure what it is,” Brian replied.“It is to replicate what you see in reality or in imagination, and take it to perfection,” Rebecca said. “It applies to businessmen or anybody for that matter because we are all artists in our respective professions. The beauty of the world, or the complexity of our lives cannot be fully captured in mere pictures or books. But we still do our best to bring our artwork to life just like how you do your best to satisfy customers and at the same time earn as much profit as you can through your businesses.” She pointed her thumb back at the image of hers. “This art you see is the result of an honest replication of r
CHAPTER 519
Selena was not at all surprised by Rebecca’s remarks because this was how Rebecca had been treating her lately, as if she was her enemy.“I admit that I treated him a bit unfairly, Rebecca, but what’s done is done,” Selena reasoned with her. “Benjamin is gone. There’s no point in wasting your life over a dead guy that will never return.”“Yeah, he’s no longer in the world, Mom, but…” Rebecca touched her own chest, “he’s still in my heart. And he’s still greater than any man out there in the world. I don’t think that will ever change.”“A-Are you saying you’ll never marry anyone ever again?” Selena couldn’t help but ask, looking baffled.“Unless Benjamin rises from his grave… yes, I won’t be marrying again,” Rebecca replied without a shred of dithering.“Are you sure you’re not making this decision purely based on emotions?” Selena asked again.“If that’s the case, then there’s no need for you to worry now, is there, Mom?” Rebecca said. “I’m tired. So, if you leave, I’ll get some sleep
CHAPTER 520
Early in the morning, Dorothy was sitting out on the balcony, next to Rebecca, basking in the morning sunlight. “Are you sure this would help, Rebecca?” Dorothy looked very doubtful. “Don’t they say that sunlight causes cancer? You’re not trying to fuck with me, are you?” “As long as you don’t put on sunscreen lotion, then you’re going to be fine,” Rebecca said. “Sunlight heals, so stop getting anxious about it. Why do you think I’m sitting under it now? Because it cures depression without me having to do anything about it. Isn’t it making you feel better?” “Well, I still feel cold out here, but slowly, my body is warming up,” Dorothy said. “Nevertheless, the UV rays are a killer, aren’t they?” “No they are not. Like I said, as long as you don’t put on toxic chemicals on your skin and eat a proper, healthy diet, being in the sun is beneficial to your health, Rebecca assured. “I’ve asked some of my most trusted friends about this. One of them released multiple research papers on thi
