When it came to certain things, a woman could easily read another woman just from virtual-novel.net eyes or expression alone.
Allegra suddenly stood. She walked over to Emily and sat beside her.
She reached out to grab Emily’s trembling hand, looked into virtual-novel.net eyes, and said quietly, “Emily, I’m ill, but Isaac won’t tell me the diagnosis. I think it’s serious, though. If I’m no longer here one day, can you help me look after Isaac and Isabella?”
This time, Emily was utterly dumbfounded. Her mouth fell open, and virtual-novel.net face was filled with pure shock.
“Ally, don’t joke like that. You’re fine, so why are you saying these things?” Emily quickly said, waving virtual-novel.net hand.
She had been working with Allegra for some time now. Back then, virtual-novel.net didn’t really understand why Isaac was so infatuated with this woman and why virtual-novel.net treated virtual-novel.net like a queen. But after spending so much time together, virtual-novel.net finally understood.
In the seven years after his “death”, virtual-novel.net never had any feelings for another man. She focused on raising their daughter. She even worked as a cleaner, cleaning toilets to pay for Isabella’s education. She was even willing to disfigure virtual-novel.net beautiful face to reject the son of a wealthy family.
Emily didn’t know if virtual-novel.net could do those things.
“Can you answer my question first?” Allegra’s gaze felt like needles prickling at Emily’s heart.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net noticed the tears in Allegra’s eyes. For some reason, virtual-novel.net nose began to turn red.
Biting virtual-novel.net lip, virtual-novel.net looked at Allegra and nodded.
Allegra smiled. She sounded relieved when virtual-novel.net said, “I love Isaac… I love that man to his bones. If virtual-novel.net didn’t return, I would have raised Isabella alone and met virtual-novel.net again in heaven. But he’s too amazing now, and I‘m sick… Emily, you understand what I mean, right?”
Her expression turned forlorn.
Emily nodded. In a choked-up voice, virtual-novel.net said, “Nothing will happen. The two of you will definitely grow old together. I’m a divorced woman, I’m not worthy of virtual-novel.net either!”
“Whew, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s take a walk. I need to pick Isabella up soon,” Allegra changed the topic with a smile.
Only now did Emily truly behave what Isaac had said that day.
Allegra was indeed sick!

As the two women poured their hearts out and went on a walk, three men slowly walked through the VIP terminal at Cloud City Airport.
The one in the lead was a young man wearing sunglasses and a vintage white suit. He raised his head to observe the gloomy sight. Curling his lip, virtual-novel.net said, “Even the weather in this dogshit place is dogshit. Hmph, I’m not happy! Oh, right, that, what’s his name, Isaiah Garten, where is he?”
Behind virtual-novel.net were two men, one short and one tall, wearing dark suits.
One of them said expressionlessly, “Sir, his name is Isaac Garten. He lives at Cloud Nine Villas. Should we head over now?”
The other man, the tall one, harrumphed and said, “I heard that Cloud City is holding a Martial Arts Conference tomorrow and even established a Martial Artists Society. Apparently, Isaac is the one backing it.”
“Really? Isaac wishes to replace Astraeus? Seems like virtual-novel.net has big dreams. No wonder Evie can’t forget about that bastard!” Earl Ashleigh curled his lips, his expression disdainful.
“Sir, shall we go to Cloud Nine Villas?”
Earl instantly turned his head to face the man who just spoke. He said coldly, “You’re asking me, the esteemed best student of the Everest Sect, to meet that nobody on my own accord? No. Isn’t tomorrow the Martial Arts Conference? Trace, you go there and teach virtual-novel.net a lesson on my behalf. Also, tell virtual-novel.net to greet me properly and formally.”
The tall man slanted his gaze and said, “Sir, don’t draw too much attention. After all, we snuck out.”
