Suzy nodded. "Alright, fine. For your grandfather’s sake, I’ll help treat her but only because of him." Men were such liars. Victor was clearly worried sick, yet he couldn’t admit it to himself. She instructed him to carry Nadia into a guest room on the first floor. After taking her pulse, Suz
Following Nadia’s wishes, Suzy didn’t tell Victor the truth. Instead, she simply said, "She worked herself up too much." "…Is it serious?" Victor frowned. He’d done plenty to upset her in the past, but she’d never reacted like this. Why was it so extreme this time? The more he thought about i
After finishing her words, Nadia turned and walked away without so much as a glance at Victor. From start to finish, it was as if he didn’t exist—a complete and utter dismissal. Victor, already feeling a pang of guilt after what he’d said, stood frozen for a moment. He didn’t know why, but eve
The bat tattoo had no connection to Claude. Instead, it was tied to a centuries-old secret royal guard organization from an ancient and mysterious kingdom shrouded in secrecy.When Suzy heard this, her eyes narrowed dangerously. "The Kingdom of Xandria?" "That’s right," Allen confirmed over the ph
"She’d find out eventually," Dylan said. "Grandma has been through a lot over the years; she’s not as fragile as you think."Suzy handed him the glass of milk she had poured. "It seems like you've made up your mind. If that's the case, I won’t stop you."If he wanted to leave, why insist on holding
It had been several days since Dylan left Suzy’s place. He thought she might call to check on him, but she didn’t. Not a single call, not even a message. He should have been happy about this. After all, it meant she wouldn’t be dragged into his mess anymore. But the sense of emptiness in his he
After finishing the prescription, Allen packed up his medical kit. "If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."Just as Allen slung his bag over his shoulder and prepared to leave, Dylan finally asked, "Is Suzy really that busy?"Why else would she agree to come but send Allen instead? She had to b
Yes, he had already lost her once. If he were to lose her a second time...Just the thought of Suzy belonging to someone else made Dylan’s heart feel as though it were being torn apart. But...Being with him wouldn’t guarantee her safety.She hadn’t had a single peaceful day in the first half of her
"Can you tell me more about the conflict between your sister and Helena?" Suzy asked, cutting to the heart of what she wanted to know. Evangeline didn’t strike her as the type to seize power by force. "It’s not much of a story—just a misunderstanding, really," Serena replied with a sigh. "Everyt
Serena was three years older than Evangeline, and the two sisters shared a decent relationship. In fact, they were each other’s last remaining family in the world. Their father had been nothing more than a servant, but his striking looks had caught the eye of their mother, the Empress. What starte
"I said, check if Nadia is sick!" Victor repeated, raising his voice for emphasis. "Nadia’s sick?" Graham asked, his exhaustion evident. "If I knew the answer, would I have called you?" Victor snapped. The whole point of this call was to confirm the truth. Finally, Graham seemed to shake off
"What do you mean, 'Nadia is dying'? She’s perfectly fine! Where does she even look remotely like she’s dying?" Victor snapped, his voice laced with disbelief. Not only was Nadia alive and well, but she seemed to be thriving—flirting with that younger guy like it was her new favorite pastime. Th
Seeing Dylan’s awkward expression, Suzy couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. Noticing Riley wasn’t around, she quickly asked, "Where’s Riley?" At the mention of her, Allen’s face darkened. "Don’t even bring it up. Last night, after you told me Riley was pregnant, I went to find her. We barely exchang
Dylan paused briefly on the other end of the line before speaking. "Helena really is dead." "Dead?" Suzy repeated, momentarily stunned. Had she been wrong all along? If Helena was truly dead, then it ruled her out as the mysterious woman. But if it wasn’t Helena, then who could it be? The woman’
Suzy paused for a moment and said, "That woman has been watching our every move from the shadows. Do you think it’s possible she swapped out the blood samples?" "Unlikely," Dylan replied. "If she did, why would she still be so adamant about keeping me out of this? If she’d already tampered with th
The DNA test results revealed that Suzy and Evangeline had no biological connection. Evangeline and her mother simply happened to look alike. But if that was the case, what exactly was driving the woman to keep pressuring her? As Suzy was deep in thought, her phone rang again. "Miss Frost, I
Suzy nodded thoughtfully. "Exactly. She’s the same with me—clearly knows who that woman is, but no matter how I pressed her, she refused to say anything. It’s as if she’s deliberately protecting her." Dylan shared the same impression. "That woman treated her so poorly, yet she still defends her. I
