"How long do I have to stay here?" Helen couldn't wait to say, "Do you know how terrible this place is? The room does not even have sunlight, and the house is all musty, and when you sleep at night, there is the sound of mice!"
From the time of the incident to now, she had made several phone calls in a row, but only a few were answered.
At the end of the line came a slow female voice. "You know it's safer this way."
"You promised me before! As long as I did what you said, you would save my daughter from prison. And you would give us a sum of money and arrange for us to go abroad and never come back again! But now Yolanda is still in jail, and I'm being searched for by the police!" Helen was too miserable these days. Every time when she was in the sun, she would bow her head for fear of being discovered.
Ever since the incident, she had stayed in this underground rented house that had been arranged. She had not even taken a bath, and her entire body was covered with a rancid smell.
"How dare you mention it to me?" The female voice became cold.
"That's not all my fault!" Hearing the words, Helen did not dare to complain and quickly defended herself. "I didn't know he would suddenly rush over to save her. If it weren't for him, things would have been done long ago. Who would have thought that he is so not afraid of death, simply risked his life to save her..."
"Are you done talking?"
The female voice interrupted Helen, making her angry but not dare to speak out. She shrunk her head and said, "I know I didn't get this done, but I tried my best! You can't go back on your words, can you? Now that things have changed, what should I do next? You won't let me stay here forever. I don't want it. I'm begging you. Hurry up and find a way to save me!"
"What's your rush, just wait." The female voice said impatiently.
How could Helen not rush? The muscles on her face were twitching. "How long will it take? Hello, hello?"
She held the microphone and shouted for a long time, but no one responded to her. Then there was a burst of beep sound.
"How could she hang up the phone?"
Helen muttered angrily, and she was not reconciled to call again.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open. The man walked in, grabbed the landline in her hand, pulled out the telephone wire, and said, "It's already five minutes!"
After that, he turned his head and left.
Helen had to sit back by the bed and opened the take-out meal box. The meal inside was cold and full of the smell of gutter oil. She had no appetite at all. After a few bites, she couldn't swallow at all, but she had to grit her teeth and continue.
After eating and dropping her chopsticks, she fell into contemplation.
The rain continued for two days, and the sky was like a tourmaline.
After Charlie went to the company in the morning, Wendy was also busy. In the morning, she took Larry to take a taekwondo lesson. After lunch, he took Larry to a painting lesson. When the painting class was about to end, the paint plate accidentally knocked over and Larry's clothes covered with paint all over.
After returning to the villa, she took Larry, who was turned into a mess, back to the children's room.
She washed his face clean, found clean clothes, and was about to help him change when Aunt Lee's footsteps came to the door and said that someone had come. Since Charlie was not home, Aunt Lee told her directly that the guest was a man, who was not young.
Wendy handed Larry to Aunt Lee for the time being and went downstairs in confusion.
When she saw the people in the living room, she asked in surprise, "Mr. Gray?"
Kim seemed to have just sat down. Hearing the voice, he stood up. He was still dressed casually. Although he was old, he was still graceful, and his smile was very approachable.
"Sorry, I've come in such a rash way!" "Nah, please take a seat!"
Wendy hurriedly greeted him, because he's a guest after all. She then asked, "What would you like? We have tea and coffee and juice at home!"
"Coffee." Kim said with a smile.
"Then you sit down and wait a minute!" Wendy said, and then turned into the kitchen.
Aunt Lee was taking care of Larry upstairs, so she would do these things. Originally, she wanted to make a cup of soluble coffee, but when she saw the coffee in the container in the morning, then thought of Kim's identity and finally chose to cook on the spot.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
