When I fainted while carrying Samantha up the mountain in the heavy rain,

I heard her talking to her best friend.

“Samantha, you are too good at pretending. You have been in a wheelchair for five years since Hanley left. Davy is also a fool. He has taken care of you for five years and didn’t even notice that your legs were fine. How many times have you asked him to carry you up the mountain to seek medical treatment? I’m tired of it.”

I only heard Samantha’s cold voice. “99 times, what? Do you feel sorry for him?”

The voice on the other side paused for a while.

“I didn’t, but after all, he is someone you trained. Are you really willing to let him give up his career and become a nanny?”

“If he hadn’t persuaded me to go hiking, I wouldn’t have let him take advantage of his power to snatch Hanley’s project. In the end, I watched him fail to seize power and be sent overseas. This is his punishment. The game will end after 99 times.”

Lying on the ground, I clenched my fists hard and my heart ached so much that I had to stop breathing.

I thought that Samantha loved me by keeping me by her side without fear of others’ eyes.

I didn’t expect that it was just to retaliate against me for stealing the project of Hanley, so that she had to watch Hanley leave.

Well, you funded and trained me for five years and I would repay you for five years.

After this, there was nothing owed between us and we would be strangers when we met again.

——

I lay on the ground until I had restrained all my emotions and then I slightly moved my stiff legs.

With a light hum, the sound in the hall disappeared instantly.

I opened my eyes and all eyes fell on me.

“Davy, what’s wrong with you? You fainted before you even reached the top of the mountain. If you don’t have the strength to carry Samantha, just say it. If you hadn’t been so stubborn as to promise that you could do it, maybe her legs would have been cured long ago.”

The person who spoke was Pandora, Samantha’s best friend, just like before.

I ignored her sarcasm, staggered to my feet and walked to Samantha.

Her face was pale, her arms and legs were bruised and her body couldn’t help shaking because of the wet clothes.

But when I touched her wound, the powder on my fingertips stained my fingers blue.

This was the scene she had played for me 98 times before. Her legs could only be cured by the doctor on the mountain and no other vehicle could go up the mountain except carrying her. The funny thing was that I didn’t notice it at all in the past five years.

“Why are you still standing there? Send her to the doctor quickly.”

Seeing that I was not like before, Pandora grabbed my wrist and shook it hard.

I fell heavily to the ground again and my physical strength that had not yet recovered made me paralyzed on the ground for a long time.

Samantha, you were really a good actor.

In order to punish me, you even pretended to be disabled in a wheelchair for five years.

“Pandora, stop it!”

Samantha’s stern shout interrupted my thoughts.

I forced myself to look up, saw her maneuvering the wheelchair to my side and stretched out her hand with difficulty to help me up.

“Davy, I’m sorry. Pandora didn’t mean it. She was just too worried about me.”

I forced a smile but dodged her touch.

“I know, I didn’t estimate my strength. Does it hurt when you fell?”

Hearing what I said, the vigilance in her eyes finally relaxed.

I knew that my hesitation just now made her suspicious.

As the richest family in the country, the Norman Family was extremely powerful. It was not something that a small orphan like me could challenge.

If I didn’t cooperate with her to finish this play, my end would never be better than now.

I forced the last bit of faith and sent Samantha to the doctor’s room. After telling Pandora to take good care of her, I closed the door and left; just because Samantha said she didn’t want me to see her painful appearance during treatment.

I would be sad and if I were sad, she would be unhappy.

In fact, every time she went in, I would kneel outside and beg God to let her go.

Even if it was in exchange for my own legs.

But this time, I heard a loud laugh from inside before I was far away.

“Samantha, you saw it! We successfully tricked him again.”

“I must be more prepared this time. Just getting wet and wasting some energy is not enough to realize my mistake. And all the expenses later will be charged to you. I have prepared a mysterious gift for you.”

Samantha held the wine glass and spoke slowly. “Since I invited you to watch the show, I will pay for everything.”

I walked down the mountain in my wet clothes and their laughter kept replaying in my mind.

My love for Samantha disappeared a little with every step I took.

Until I stumbled and rolled down, I bumped into a man in a suit.

“Can you walk? If you like to roll, just roll down.”

I hurriedly climbed to the side and let him go up. “Isn’t this the best club? How come there’s not even a cable car? I have to walk. It’s so tiring.”

So, the place she told me about treatment was just a club where people could have fun.

I looked up in shock, waiting to see the person in front of me clearly.

It took a long time to recover. This was Hanley. He was back.

It seemed that I was really redundant to Samantha.

On the way back to the Norman Family villa, I contacted my uncle, who was abroad for the first time.

Five years ago, in order to take care of Samantha, I refused my uncle who came to recognize my relatives.

This time, he agreed to help me deal with all the problems without asking anything.

Before that, I just needed to take care of Samantha wholeheartedly as usual.

Unfortunately, Samantha did not show up the next week.

Her assistant told me that there was an emergency in the branch office outside the city and she had to deal with it personally.

“Davy, I’m at the company, don’t worry. I’m not here, you can also take a good rest and take care of things at home.”

Samantha sent me a video after arriving at the location as usual.

This was an agreement between us, we must ensure each other’s safety at all times.

Just because I was kidnapped by the enemy on the road when I just entered the Norman Family, she mobilized all her strength to rescue me.

After that, she asked me to call her on video when I went out.

Only when she saw me with her own eyes would she not worry.

For so many years, this habit had been preserved.

But this time, I clearly saw the back of a man in the corner.

I couldn’t help asking, “Is there anyone else in your room?”

“No, it’s the staff.”

The look on her face only dodged for a moment, but I still caught it.

I hung up the video awkwardly. That person must be Hanley.

The appearance of Hanley made Samantha’s carefully planned lies no longer detailed.

This was her first business trip since her legs became inoperable. Besides, as the president of the Norman Group, in order to avoid public opinion, except for me, all the staff around her were replaced by women.

While she was away, I hurried to arrange my departure.

There were only two days left before her next treatment and that was the day I left the Norman Family.

Samantha came back and Hanley followed her back to the Norman Family.

“Where have you been? Recently, the housekeeper said that you often go out.”

Samantha looked at me, who had just entered the door with an unhappy face.

I rolled up my sleeves, revealing my arms full of needle holes.

“I went to learn acupuncture. I heard that it is particularly effective for leg injuries. It’s just right that you are back. Let me learn it on myself for two more days and then we will give it a try.”

Her eyes stayed on the dense needle holes on my hands, revealing a trace of pity.

“Be careful and don’t hurt yourself.”

Hearing this, my tense heart relaxed. I pulled up my sleeves and naturally wanted to push her.

But Hanley, beside her, snatched it away.

“Davy, this is Brian, the disciple of the miracle doctor. Pandora begged him for a long time before he agreed to come to the house for treatment. In the future, you should listen to him more about my affairs.”

I looked at the man in front of me who looked exactly like Hanley in surprise, but the words I wanted to ask were still swallowed by my throat.

Listening to her undisguised lies, I couldn’t help but laugh at myself in my heart.

Was it treatment, or something else?

“You are Miss Norman’s younger brother, please cooperate more in the future.”

That was how she introduced me. In order to make me gain a foothold in the Norman Family, she did declare to the outside world that I was her younger brother.

But now, how could we still get along like a sister and a brother? Which sister would hug and kiss her own brother?

Realizing that I was redundant to her, I went upstairs tactfully.

“Yes, I’m her brother. Samantha, I’ll go upstairs first.”

Hearing the longlost “Samantha”, her brows frowned.

But in the end, until I went upstairs, she didn’t say anything.

I was sorting out the things Samantha gave me in the room one by one and the sound of the two people playing next door kept coming into my ears.

“Miss Norman, how is this strength? Do you need me to use more strength? Get ready, I’m coming.”

I only heard a loud shout of “Ah”

I tried to cover my ears, but I couldn’t help thinking of them.

When I was fifteen years old, Samantha, who participated in a charity event, saw me wearing only sandals and single clothes in the cold weather and tears flowed.

After that, she took me back to the Norman Family and provided me with the best education and the best company.

She became the salvation and dream of my life.

The year I graduated from college, I mustered up the courage to confess to her, but found that she already had a favorite marriage partner.

Since then, I wanted to be her brother for life, but after Hanley left, she suddenly started to have more intimate actions with me.

I thought this was the love I had been looking for, so I gave up years of hard work and was willing to become a male nanny who was ridiculed by her.

Now that I thought about it, Samantha never said she loved me from beginning to end and everything was just my selflove.

I waited until the noise next door subsided before I walked out of the room.

When I passed Samantha’s room, I was stopped by Brian.

He was wearing loose pajamas and there were still a few scratches on his exposed chest.

He showed me everything that had just happened.

“Brother, go downstairs and pour us a glass of water, remember to warm it.”

I stared at him blankly, but I couldn’t hear anything in my ears.

Even though I had guessed everything, I still couldn’t accept the moment I saw with my own eyes.

As if dissatisfied with my indifference, Brian suddenly grabbed my collar with a fierce look in his eyes.

“Why are you standing there? Move.”

After saying that, he threw me toward the stairs and my forehead hit the handrail hard.

Before I could react, I heard a voice from behind.

“What are you doing?”

Brian’s expression changed instantly.

“Miss Norman, didn’t you tell him to listen to my arrangement? I asked him to pour you a glass of water, but he refused. Besides, I’m a doctor and can control the force. I didn’t use any force, but he bumped into me. Does he not want me to treat you? Otherwise, I’d better go back to the mountain.”

Samantha, who wanted to come and see me, was ignited by Brian’s words.

“Davy, apologize to Doctor Mccoy. Didn’t I teach you to be upright? The little tricks you learned in the slums are not presentable.”

It turned out that in her heart, I was such a person who liked to play tricks.

I looked at Samantha, who was pretending in front of me and exuding a love affair and I couldn’t help questioning her, “I like to play tricks? Why don’t you explain what you did in the room just now!”

After hearing this, Samantha’s face was a little flustered and she subconsciously shifted her eyes.

What she said was even more cruel. “What can I do? Doctor Mccoy was just massaging me with a special technique. Davy, when did you become so dirty? Are you deliberately trying to force him away and make me a wheelchair user for life! If you don’t apologize, I won’t have a brother like you anymore!”

This was the lover I thought I could spend my life with. I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Samantha, did you know that you wouldn’t have a brother like me soon?

I struggled to stand up and bowed 90 degrees to Brian, who was standing next to me with a provocative look.

“I’m sorry, Doctor Mccoy. I misunderstood you. I’ll go get you some water now, please wait.”

Brian’s pride was about to overflow, but he waved his hand generously.

“Forget it, I’m just a doctor and can’t order the young master of the Norman Family around.”

After Brian left, I wanted to leave but was stopped by Samantha.

“Come here, I’ll apply medicine on you.”

Only then did I notice that my forehead that had just been hit was already bleeding.

She took out the medicine box and gently wiped my wound with her eyes focused.

After applying the medicine, she blew gently on the wound.

“Blow it and the pain will fly away.”

This most famous coldblooded female president of the Norman Group used her occasional warmth to hold me firmly in her palm.

Over the years, whenever I wanted to escape, she would deepen the chains like now to make me sink willingly.

Unfortunately, this time my heart had frozen and I didn’t want to be obedient anymore.

I took the initiative to move to the room farthest from Samantha.

In the last few days, I didn’t want to see anything between them.

But when I wanted to go back to get the things Samantha gave me, I couldn’t find them.

Until the smell of burning flames came from the backyard. When I hurried over, I saw Brian stuffing things into the fire one by one.

I desperately wanted to run over to grab it back, but he stopped me.

“What are you doing? Why do you burn my things?”

He stopped me and said innocently, “I just took a bunch of junk from an empty room. Who knows it’s yours? Besides, they are all worthless things. They are not as important as the medicine soup I make for Miss Norman.”

After that, he directed the servants to continue throwing things in. I watched those things disappear one by one and gradually stopped struggling. Just think that the ten years in the Norman Family were just a dream of my own. After the dream, there was no trace. There was no need for these things to exist.

I stiffened my body and looked at the last pile of ashes. Brian clapped his hands. “Well burned!”

After that, he walked away in the astonishment of the crowd. I didn’t sleep all night and I looked forward to the arrival of the next day more than ever.

The next morning, Samantha and Brian had already left. She asked the housekeeper to tell me to drive to the foot of the mountain to wait for her. The weather today was as bright as the day I persuaded Samantha to climb the mountain, but it was Hanley who took the initiative to propose it. Today, I took the initiative to walk into Samantha’s scam.

I thought that the increase in difficulty she and Pandora talked about was just a small matter of empty stomach, rain or barefoot.

But I was wrong, so wrong.

There was a long downhill road leading to the mountain. When I wanted to step on the brakes to slow down, I found that the brakes did not respond.

I smiled bitterly and watched the speed of the car getting faster and faster and then I realized that this was their arrangement.

It was really cruel. Samantha, how much do you hate me to think of such a way?

You won, I dared not love you anymore and I had no chance to love you.

I gave up all my struggles in vain and let the car rush forward.

Before hitting another car, I turned the steering wheel sharply and crashed into the cliff.

After surviving the disaster, I just climbed out of the car with a dizzy head, but the phone kept ringing.

Looking at Brian displayed on it, I still pressed the connect button.

“Davy, what’s wrong with you? It’s already so late. This is the last treatment. Do you want all our efforts to go to waste?”

I weakly moved the phone away from my ear and replied indifferently, “I’ll be there soon. Wait for me for another ten minutes.”

Samantha, you were so eager to check the results.

Samantha was particularly heavy today. I gritted my teeth tightly. Every breath was accompanied by a sharp pain from deep in my chest, causing the wound to twitch.

Although I had walked this road countless times, I felt that it was surprisingly long today, as if there was no end.

I couldn’t help but groan in pain.

What I got was Pandora’s ridicule.

“Davy, why are you pretending? Not only are you late today, but you shouted after walking so far. People who don’t know would think Samantha is very heavy. And…”

I let her despise me all the way. I knew that as long as I opened my mouth, the energy in my heart would dissipate.

The moment I sent Samantha to the treatment room, I didn’t even give Pandora a word of advice and turned away anxiously.

The relief in my heart relieved the pain in my body.

Samantha, for the 99th time, we had nothing to lose and would never meet again.

On the other side, Samantha in the treatment room was just about to take off the sandbag on her body.

“Miss Norman, let me do it.”

Brian knelt down and stretched out his hand, but was rejected by Samantha.

“Don’t do this with this face, he won’t do this.”

Realizing that Samantha’s attitude was not good, Pandora quickly changed the subject.

“Samantha, what does Davy mean? He ran away without saying a word. And he came very late today. Does he think you are troublesome and is unwilling to cooperate?”

Hearing this, Samantha’s expression suddenly became serious and Pandora and Brian were frightened by her appearance.

It was not until Samantha spoke coldly that the tense expressions of the two relaxed.

“Since the punishment is over, he can leave. From now on–”

Unfortunately, before she could finish, there was a shout from outside.

“Oh no, Davy fell off the cliff!”

Hearing this, Samantha stood up suddenly. She grabbed the people outside, her eyes red.

“Who fell off the cliff? Tell me clearly!”
