Silas widened his eyes, almost tempted to go over and kick his cheeky younger brother.

"I've simply never encountered such a handsome man before, so I was a little curious! What if he's someone who enjoys cross-dressing?"

Alyssa sighed while holding her forehead. Silas' imagination was indeed vivid!

Axel chimed in, "Why would any typical heterosexual guy be interested in other men?"

Silas retorted, "That just means I'm young. Only older folks lose their curiosity!"

The brothers bantered and bickered, and the night concluded.

The following day, Julien slept until noon due to jet lag.

When he finally opened his eyes, he heard a persistent knocking on the door.

Initially, he was reluctant to open it, but the person outside was relentless and patient. The knock continued without pausing.

"What's going on? You're so annoying!"

Julien sprung up from the bed, marched to the door, and flung it open irritably.

Julien was stunned to see Jonah dressed impeccably in a suit.

    "Jonah."Julien raised his eyebrow deviously. He suddenly leaned closer to him. "Do you know that inexplicably nice people often have ill intentions?"Jonah looked at Julien, and the latter's glistening eyes instantly peered straight into his soul.They were extremely close. Jonah could feel his eyebrow brushing against the tip of Julien's nose.Jonah shuddered. He stared deeply into his eyes. "What are you implying?""Did you come here to please me by Alyssa's orders? Or were you genuinely concerned about my leg injury?"Julien's voice was not as feminine as his face. Yet, it carried a seductive and alluring tone to it."You are Lyse's guest and also Mandy's nephew. It makes sense for me to do this for you." Jonah looked down once again."Huh, no wonder you're the president. Your lips are sealed shut."Julien didn't like the answer he received. He turned around, unwilling to face Jonah. "You can leave now. Also, I'm booking my flights now and will fly first thing in the mor

    Jonah entered his study and sat at his desk. The smile that hung on his face remained.He stretched his neck slightly backward and tugged on his tie. He undid the buttons around his collar. Finally, he could breathe.A silver cross fell from the opening on his shirt. It glistened faintly under the light.Jonah closed his eyes slowly. He took a deep breath to calm his restless heart down.At this moment, Julien's beautiful androgynous features weren't the ones occupying his mind. It was another man—a man he thought he had forgotten yet still longed for—his old flame.Jonah turned toward the bookshelf wall and picked two books.The bookshelf made a "click" sound, and a secret compartment appeared to reveal an exquisite safe. He punched the man's birthday and his own, and the safe opened.There were a few framed photos, a sealed envelope, and a black velvet jewelry box in the safe.Jonah opened the jewelry box. In it was a pair of diamond rings, perfect for a couple.He picked

    The atmosphere turned awkward all of a sudden. There was a subtle yet palpable hint of tension.Julien's eyes gradually widened, as if he had heard something that wounded his ego deeply. His face contorted and flushed red. After a prolonged pause, he finally exclaimed, "Huh?""I think you've stayed too long in Mosgravia, Dr. Lovelace. It must be difficult for you to understand Solanian now. Do you want me to explain it in Grunslandish for you?" A sharp glint flashed in Alyssa's eyes, her smile carrying a sense of subtle pressure. Women hardly displayed such a smile.It exuded the arrogance of a person of great power and the unyielding confidence of a man. The sheer intimidation of it weighed so heavily that it shackled Julien's carefree spirit like a ball and chain."Are you saying I didn't want to take Jasper as a patient because I can't heal him? Is that what you're implying?" Julien retorted through gritted teeth. "I don't see any other explanation." Alyssa shrugged."Pah

    Alyssa touched her chin. She didn't think it was a problem. Julien could never have imagined that the woman he despised, standing before him, was, in fact, Dr. White—the very culprit behind his "kidnapping" that had dragged his name through the mud.Otherwise, he would rather hope the ground would open up and swallow him. He would rather die than face this utter humiliation. "Dr. Lovelace, do you still doubt this man's character—a man Dr. White is willing to save?"Alyssa nonchalantly asked with a smile, "Don't you think you are questioning your idol's character?"She was guilt-tripping him. She had no choice but to use this method to deal with this conniving man.Julien pursed his lips. He dragged a chair and slowly sat again as he wandered into deep thought."Okay, I will take a look for Dr. White's sake."Alyssa was overjoyed. She curled her lips ever so lightly. "I thank you on behalf of Dr. White."It was rare for Axel to come back to the country, so he wasn't in a hur

    Axel retorted, "Otherwise, which other bastards would I be talking about?"Axel then took a cigarette and placed it between his lips. Rage was evident on his face as he remarked, "I'm not sure what Lyse is thinking. She is divorced already. And that bastard's name has been dragged through the mud. Why is she wasting so much effort to attend to his medical condition? Let him rot and die.""Just think of her as rescuing a stray dog, then. Don't take this too personally," Silas comforted him."Huh? Do you think Julien will treat this bastard?""I think he might. Lyse always gets the job done.""Okay. I hardly get to come back. Now that I am here, I can't leave empty-handed."Axel took a long drag of his cigarette. His eyes lit up with a blazing fire. He exhaled a ring of smoke. "Why don't I sneak into that bastard's operating room and …"He slid his hand across his neck as he spoke.Caught off guard, Silas shuddered. Shocked, he said, "Don't you dare act recklessly.

    Axel's eyelashes fluttered as his heart raced. His heart rarely beat so fast. He was reacting to the woman who couldn't keep her hands to herself.He wasn't moved emotionally. The woman in his arms looked exactly like Alyssa. So it felt like he was caressing his sister. He didn't know what to do as his "sister" seduced him."Hmm … I-I'm about to puke." Amber's eyes welled up in tears. Her body went limp.She drank a lot and had too much to dance. Her stomach was churning madly. It was unbearable. "Handsome, c-c-can you bring somewhere to puke? I can't hold it in anymore."If it were another woman, Axel would have darted to the other side of the room—the further, the better. He wouldn't want to get puked on.However, he couldn't say no to that face of hers. He held Amber's soft waist up with one hand. He carried her with his arm effortlessly and walked toward the restroom in large strides. Everyone on the dance floor was dumbfounded."Shit! That handsome man is so strong! I

    Amber was in utter disbelief. She never expected to feel such emotions for any man other than Jameson."The ladies' restroom? Look at this urinal. Do you think this is the ladies' restroom?"Axel smiled. "I think you're the one that needs to leave, miss."Amber's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and thought of a quick escape plan. Axel, out of her expectation, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back hard.Once again, Amber slammed into the man's sturdy chest hard. Her scalp tingled from the collision. Her heart was racing.Axel looked at her, a deep glint in his eyes. His lip curled slightly. It was teasingly charming. "How can you leave? You didn't even thank me yet.""T-Thank you." Amber's eyes flickered. Her breathing was growing erratic. "Has anyone told you that you looked like someone?" Axel's warm breath landed on the reddened tip of her nose. His indifferent gaze became somewhat gentler.Amber's heart tightened. She tried her best to escape, but Axel held he

    "Sorry." Amber's face turned red, and her consciousness blurred."I told you, with this face of yours, even in Solana City, it should only appear at The Millennium at night! You're my carefully crafted trump card, my possession."You do what I tell you to do, and you don't have the qualifications to show off, let alone to be arrogant!"Jameson's eyes were full of malice. He increased the pressure of his grip on her neck as if he wanted to strangle her to death. Sitting in the passenger seat, Carl saw that Amber was about to collapse and hurriedly pleaded for her, "Mr. Schmidt, Ms. Altman can't take it anymore! Please spare her this time for her loyalty and devotion to you over the years!"Although it's her fault for violating your orders by sneaking back, isn't it to see you? Everything she did was for you. Please spare her this time."Jameson coldly stared at Amber's beautiful face and exhaled a breath before loosening his grip on her.Amber was soaked in sweat at this moment,

    "Jas…"Alyssa looked at Jasper with an unfocused gaze. Her breaths were shallow, and she was slipping in and out of consciousness. Mentally, she was confused. "Yes, it's me—Jasper!"Jasper's heart clenched as he saw the color drain from her face. Her body trembled uncontrollably, fragile as a leaf caught in the wind. She resembled the kitten he had saved as a child—frozen and alone in the alley that bitter winter night. A deep sorrow flooded his chest."Jas… per…" Alyssa murmured his name, her voice strained, her tongue numb from the cold.A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "It seems… like I am about… to freeze to death… How could he be here… He will not come back… He doesn't want me anymore…" Alyssa's vision blurred as her eyelids grew heavy. She began to lean, her body sagging to one side."Alyssa! Stay awake!" Jasper's heart was pierced, the pain unbearable as he saw the denial in her eyes. He forced himself to pu

    Elias frowned deeply; his worry etched onto his face. "We've been shouting Ms. Alyssa's name the whole way. With so many of us calling out, she should've heard us by now if she were nearby!"In a deep voice, Jasper said, "The wind is too strong, and then there's the heavy snowfall. Our voices are being drowned out. Lyse might not hear us at all."Lyse. Her nickname slipped from his lips before he even realized it."I'm just afraid she's injured—or worse, fainted. If she blacks out in this cold…" Elias trailed off, his voice heavy with dread. "On a day like this, she won't survive long. She'll freeze to death."The group exchanged uneasy glances, the reality of his words tightening their chests.It wasn't that Elias was being a doomsayer. Rather, this was the cruel reality that might actually happen. Crater Mountain claimed lives every year. Danger lurked unpredictably in the woods on the mountain—anything could unfold."Let's split up," Jasper commanded, his eyes fixed on t

    The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

    As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

    A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

    "Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

    "Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

    The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

    Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t
