Chapter 382

of amazement flashed in her eyes, but the next second, Jian Tong's eyes returned to their usual calm state.Keane's hazel eyes flashed with interest, along with a hint of the blood-red excitement of a..."So don't run anymore, don't even think about resisting.

I'm a jerk, don't try to piss off a jerk.

At this moment, he resembled the devil of hell, dangerous and icy. Yet, the heart in his chest throbbed with pain, a pain so intense it felt impossible to breathe.

Keep her... He couldn't think of any other way. If he could just keep her... Even if he became the villain, even if he endured eighteen layers of hell in his next life, he was willing to do it all.

But to let her go and donate bone marrow, risking her life, even the possibility of… death, was unthinkable.

Suddenly, he straightened up, his torso erect. The hand that hung by his side clenched tightly... He wouldn't do it!

The woman on the bed fell silent, then her pale lips twitched slightly, a smile that was strange and unsettling, causing the man's heart to pound in his chest.

"It's just a toy, isn't it" she whispered hoarsely, sounding more like she was talking to herself than asking him.

Suddenly!

The man's face turned pale, his heart turning cold. "Yes, toy," he sneered. "So you have to be obedient, understand"

Such arrogant words, but the man suddenly turned and fled as if eager to escape this place.

The door was closed with a thud, and the whole bedroom returned to silence, a silence so profound it sent shivers down one's spine.

The man strode outside, and Shen Er followed immediately.

With every step he took, a touch more bitterness clouded his eyes.

Toys

If she were a toy, he must be crazy, this lifetime just for this one.

He Shen Xiuqin never cared about his toys from childhood to adulthood. If they broke, he would throw them away; if he didn't like them anymore, he would leave them aside... Was she a toy

She is a toy, why can't he let her go

If they absolutely had to be in a toy and owner relationship...

Little one, as long as you're willing, I'll be your toy. Just please don't leave me... alright

Shen Er opened the car door, and the man got in. The imposing aura that surrounded him vanished instantly. He reached out and rubbed his brow, and on his handsome face, only bitterness and fatigue remained.

"Are you going back to the company, boss" Shen Er asked.

The man seemed to think of something, "Is there anyone taking care of the mistress"

"Don't worry, Shen San is already there. With Shen San guarding outside Madam's door, there's no need to be concerned about her safety." Shen Er spoke concisely, yet he understood the meaning behind his boss' words.

"Keep an eye on her." The man said coldly, "Don't let her go to the hospital." To escape him, that woman was willing to risk so much!

He gritted his teeth again.

"Tell Shen San, if Madam wants to go shopping or to work at the company, just follow her. Don't restrict her movements. However, she is not allowed to go to the hospital."

"Yes, boss."

"How's that thing I asked you to do going"

Shen Erming suddenly understood: "Shen Si has already contacted the other party." He said only this, and then remained silent.

The implication is clear — the other party must be delaying and refusing.

"Send Shen Si over now. Invite the person to the Shen residence."

Shen Er was startled: "Boss, you want to see me personally"

The man in the back seat just waved wearily: “Go ahead.”

Shen Er didn't say much. He put on his Bluetooth headphones and connected with Shen Si, briefly conveying the man's meaning.

Ending the call, Shen Er drove straight to his family's compound.

The vast Shen family estate was the place where Shen Xiujin lived after he came of age.

The wrought iron gates swung open automatically, and the car passed through the guardhouse smoothly. It drove for a while longer before stopping in front of the main house.

The butler was already waiting on the side: "Welcome home, sir."

Carefully passed over a warm, damp towel. The towel still held the scent of lemonade.

The man wiped his hands, the warm, lemony scent of the towel easing his fatigue somewhat.

Not much later

A black commercial vehicle was parked in front of the Shen family's courtyard.

The car door opened, and a young mother and son, with grim faces, were "asked" to get out.

"I'm not going, I'm going back, you have no right to do this!" The young woman's face was full of anxiety.

She's not stupid. Saying it's "please" is it really "please"

Such a "please"

"Our boss is waiting for you, please come with me. If we keep the boss waiting, he'll be unhappy. The consequences, are generally unbearable for ordinary people." Shen Si learned from Shen Er.

With eyes wide open and an emotionless face, he forcefully ushered the person into Shen's courtyard.

At the entrance of the living room

The gate was tightly shut. The young mother and child hesitated, clearly wanting to avoid it.

Chapter 320: When Her Conviction Is Shattered, It Will Hurt

Jane looked at the person who yanked open the car door beside her, her heart sinking... This accident was definitely not a coincidence.

"Good to see you again, Xia Butler."

The old man was even more aged than the last time she had seen him. She particularly remembered Summer Butler, who had served the Shen family for his entire life. In her memory, this old man’s features were especially prominent.

There was never a smile on that long face, always wearing a grim expression. His whole being exuded an air of rigidity and conventionality.

But at this moment, this elder no longer had the appearance he had when serving the Shen family as a steward. His slender frame was like an old, withered branch in the desert, shriveled and brittle.

Looking at that face, which I had always perceived as stereotyped, now revealed a touch of madness.

"You still remember me!

"It's amazing that you still remember me, old man!"

Xia Guanjia's laughter sounded a bit manic, making his whole body tremble with a strange chill.

"Seeing me, this old man, are you surprised Aren't you surprised" Hah."

"Did you intentionally hit me with the car" There was warm blood flowing down her forehead, but she didn't reach up to wipe it. She stared intently at the person in front of her, her eyes unwavering.

Actually, there was no need to ask. When the car came crashing in, it slammed straight into her. She glanced at the driver who was also injured, clutching his arm. If not for the driver's quick reflexes, she wouldn't have just been hurt this badly right now.

"I hit it, how "

"Do you want revenge"

Summer the Butler spoke lightly, his eyes filled with hatred for Jian Tong.

"What a shame, what a pity, I didn't run you over right then and there."

“Xia Guanjia looked disappointed, then changed the subject:

"Well, well. To die so easily wouldn't be fitting for you."

"Why" she asked calmly.hat should have ached, all of it has dried up and healed over these past three years... She kept telling herself this in her mind, repeating it ten or twenty times, until finally...Slowly lifting her...
