"Let me be blunt with you, Mr. Severe. Angeline is the woman that I, Cole Yorks, like. I'll take her away from Swallow City when I'm done handling my affairs. Before then, I want you to ensure that she remains unscathed. If anything happens to her, I'll make sure that none of the Severe family members will die a natural death." Cole gritted his teeth, his clear and melodious voice shrouded in a trace of coolness. His voice did not sound furious nor sullen, yet it was able to make anyone feel terrified as if a devil was here to claim somebody's life.

"Of course, if you treat my Angeline kindly, then I won't treat the Severe family unfairly. Fame or fortune, I'll give it to you."

George did not know who Cole was, but at the sight of his haughtiness, he decided against provoking him. "Mr. Yorks, come in and have a cup of tea."

He wanted to know more about Cole.

Angeline glared at Cole hard and threatened him soundlessly. 'Take one step into the house and you'll see!'

Cole hesitated. "Thank you, Mr. Severe, for the hospitality, but I still have something to do today. I guess I won't be going in anymore. Please send two servants to come and unload the trunks, Mr. Severe." He was behaving in a domineering manner just moments ago but withered within seconds in front of Angeline.

His change in attitude was hilarious to watch.

The Severe family was now in a state of utter poverty. Where were they supposed to find any servants to order around?

George looked slightly embarrassed.

Angeline said, "We don't have any servants at home, Cole."

Cole brushed the tip of his nose sheepishly. "Okay then. I'll unload them myself."

After unloading the trunk, he was so exhausted that his forehead was drenched with sweat.

When George saw the supplements piled up like a hill, the corners of his eyes began to twitch.

Angeline snapped. "We're not running a pharmacy. Why are you giving me all these supplements?"

Cole began introducing them one by one. "This is for treating external injuries. As long as it doesn't involve the bones and tendons, the wound is guaranteed to heal overnight.

"This is for treating lung diseases. If your lungs are injured, you'll cough and have phlegm. If not properly treated, it'll leave lingering effects. And this will get to the root of the disease and treat it completely. "This is to boost your immunity, something you need the most. Look at you, you're too skinny. The reason why you're not gaining weight is because of poor digestion and immunity."

Anne picked out a bottle of healing cream from the pile and smiled. "This is best for Sera!"

Cole snatched it back and said coldly, "These belong to Angeline. If you want them, then you have to ask her for permission."

Sounding like sour grapes, Anne said, "This is just a cream for bruises, isn't it? You're making it sound like it's something miraculous."

Angeline stuffed the cream into Anne's hand. "Take it, Aunt Anne."

Anne pretended to turn her down for a bit before accepting it eventually.

Cole said, "Angeline, all these medicines aren't available on the market. Don't just give it to others. Save some for yourself just in case."

Angeline said, "My injuries have healed. My ribs don't hurt, and I've stopped coughing."

Cole looked at Angeline suspiciously. He had been here for a very long time now, and he had not heard Angeline cough once.

"Grand Asia does have a trick or two, doesn't it? When he carried you in his arms and took you away that day, I did contemplate snatching you back," Cole said bitterly.

An earth-shattering shock filled Angeline's pupils. Cole said that Jay left with her in his arms?

How could that be possible?

He had no feelings for her anymore, and even his gaze was indifferent. It carried a tinge of disgust when he looked at her recently.

What was more, how could he possibly want to hold her in his arms now that he had trouble walking himself?

The tidal waves in Angeline's heart were rising and falling. She was absolutely astounded by this revelation.
