Victor felt a pang in his chest. He took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "You've been staring outside for a while. Do you like the rain?"

Eulalia kept looking at the rainy scene through the window. "Not really. It feels sticky and uncomfortable when it soaks you, and it's so cold it makes your knees ache just thinking about it."

The difference between new wounds and old ones is that new wounds, if not too serious, heal and that's that. But old wounds are the kind that hurt your heart. Even when they've healed, just thinking about them can be gut-wrenching.

Victor had been planning to say something cheesy like "If you like the rain, I can keep you company in it," but Eulalia didn't give him the chance.

"It's blown up outside. I haven't checked online, but I bet it's trending."

Victor wasn't wrong - it had indeed gone viral. Once again, Eulalia was dominating the hot topics:

    "You mean she..." Percival's dry lips trembled."What?" Oliver looked at Percival in confusion, trying to read his expression.Percival's face remained as deep and calm as ever, but looking closer, you could see something flickering in his bloodshot eyes. His dark pupils seemed to dance with an unsteady light.Percival lowered his gaze and ultimately said nothing."It's nothing." He was preparing for the worst outcome.If it really was Eulalia, he had to hold onto her tightly, even if it cost him his life.For Percival, Eulalia was a lifeline - a floating plank in choppy seas.He still had selfish thoughts. He could hide and watch Eulalia from afar without disturbing her, but he couldn't bear to see her with another man. That would be worse than death.If he could choose how to die...He hoped Eulalia would be the one to kill him. Otherwise, he'd die with regrets, living a life worse than death.Percival was now certain that the "Eulalia" in the video was really her.Since Eulalia had

    Eulalia looked up. Her eyes, clear as if washed by spring water, reflected Victor's tense face."Don't get the wrong idea," he said quickly. "I just noticed your hair's wet. A shower might help you avoid catching a cold, and you'll sleep better tonight."His rushed explanation reminded her of that idiot Vincent. Eulalia stared absently at Victor's fangs as he spoke."I didn't misunderstand anything," Eulalia said with a teasing smile. "But it seems like you've got something on your mind, Mr. Big Shot. You never answered my question from before - why do you blush when you look at me? Have you never been nice to a girl before?"Victor answered honestly, "Nope, just you."He used to scoff at the idea of "love at first sight," thinking it was just lust. But from the moment he saw Eulalia at the plane, he suddenly understood what it meant. Love at first sight, a lifetime in one glance. It was as if he'd known Eulalia for ages.In that moment, he knew he had to have her.Life has a way of t

    Percival's gaze moved past Victor, landing on Eulalia as she gracefully walked into view.She was wearing an oversized men's white shirt that hung down to her thighs, making it look like she wasn't wearing anything underneath. Her long, straight legs delicate and smooth.Eulalia had just showered and washed her hair. Her long locks were loosely tied up with a disposable hair tie, still damp at the nape of her neck. A few wet strands fell around her face, adding to her allure.Percival had imagined a dozen ways he might see Eulalia again, but he never expected it to be like this - in the most gut-wrenching way possible.This was their long-awaited reunion: her appearing in another man's room, wearing his clothes, bare-legged, in a way Percival had never seen before.In that moment, it felt like his heart was being stabbed by a thousand tiny pins. The pain was so intense he couldn't even feel his heartbeat. Breathing became difficult, and his eyes reddened as he struggled for air.Perci

    The human heart is too small. Back then, Eulalia tried to fit too many things in hers, which is why she ended up so hurt."You can wait longer, but Misty can't. A cat's lifespan is already short, let alone one that lost half its life in that big fire."There's a saying that your enemy knows you best.Percival knew her weakness and knew exactly how to manipulate her.Eulalia's initial plan was to become strong first, strong enough to overcome the threats before her, and then appear before Percival.But she underestimated Percival's sixth sense. She didn't expect that just one glance would be enough for him to recognize her.She could wait a while longer to see the people she wanted to see, but she forgot that some couldn't wait for her, like her Misty.She missed that ragdoll cat so much, the one that tried to save her in the fire.Percival had recognized her. She would eventually face the same situation - his haunting presence that she couldn't escape."You're not trying to threaten m

    Getting kidnapped, tortured until your fingers are ruined, hypnotized and messed with like an idiot, then having your baby killed and your legs crippled - that's some serious shit!Some things just don't deserve forgiveness, and it's not about being magnanimous or whatever. Everyone's got their own limits. She suffered through all that crap alone and died in that big fire. Why the hell should she forgive the person who drove her to death step by step?Eulalia took out her disposable hair tie, fixing her hair as she said, "I guess I could forgive you... if you really want me to."For a split second, Percival was speechless. The sudden glimmer of hope was so unexpected he could hardly believe it.But then Eulalia casually tossed the hair tie into the river. "Go fish it out. If you find it, I'll forgive you. How's that sound?"How the hell was he supposed to find such a tiny hair tie in the river? With all the crap and mud down there, he'd need ten hands to have any chance.The hair tie

    Percival couldn't hear whatever Oliver was saying anymore. The obsession with finding the hair tie had taken root in his blood like a poisonous seed, wrapping around his bones and pulling at his weak limbs as he struggled to his feet.At this point, Percival was running on sheer willpower alone. His body straightened up, vulnerability and grief showing in his eyes as he crawled towards the riverbank. Oliver couldn't hold him back - he had no idea how Percival still had so much strength.Oliver forcefully pinned him down. "Boss, let's come back to look tomorrow. You need to take care of yourself right now. What if you collapse again right when we finally find her?"Percival's desperation to find the hair tie immediately was already backfiring on him.There was a lot Oliver didn't understand, but what confused him most was how "Riley" had become "Eulalia."Was it all an act?

    The flames leaping from the edge of the wok lit up Victor's face and sparkled in Eulalia's eyes.Victor had been focused on tossing the wok. He'd seen a post online about the sexiest things a man can do, and one of them was stir-frying.He was totally absorbed in it, but as time went on, his expression grew more and more uncomfortable. The wok handle suddenly felt scorching in his grip, and he nearly flung the food right out of the pan.Eulalia wanted to laugh but didn't call him out. Pretending not to notice his awkwardness, she changed the subject: "Where's the tableware?"Victor plated up the green pepper and pork stir-fry and quietly walked over to the cabinet above Eulalia. Worried the door might hit her head, he gently placed his hand on top of it."Here," Victor said as he took out the tableware. Eulalia was so close he could smell her shampoo.Realizing they used the same shampoo and had the same scent made Victor feel even closer to her. His ears twitched slightly as he quick

    "Which of my movies do you want to watch? I'll watch it with you."Eulalia thought for a moment, then chose Champion, Victor's latest film.The movie was about a young man with low intelligence but exceptional athletic talent. He's spotted by the national team and fights his way to becoming a champion.The plot was simple, but the premise was great. The market was lacking this kind of inspiring sports film. Plus, Victor's acting was top-notch. Even Eulalia, who wasn't usually into sports movies, was totally engrossed. This film was worth watching multiple times in theaters. No wonder it was topping the box office charts.In the movie, Victor played a simple-minded character brilliantly. Far from being annoying, he came across as adorable. The film was designed with many tear-jerking scenes.One particular scene left Eulalia misty-eyed."Brother, I want to eat candied haws. All the kids in my class have tried them, only I haven't. I really want to taste them...""When I have money, I'l

    Victor's large, warm hands enveloped Eulalia's cold ones completely.Victor was the golden boy, a perfect specimen in the entertainment world. This perfection wasn't just about his looks, but also his voice and his very soul.They say that pretty faces are a dime a dozen, while fascinating souls are one in a million. Victor had both.Those who knew him well were aware of his quirks - he could be a total dork sometimes, clueless about romance despite being overly narcissistic. His face would betray his Evettery emotion, and his ears would wiggle when he got cocky. For all his self-admiration, he'd turn beet red whenEvetter his crush was near.With Eulalia, he was gentle, wanting to get close but afraid of scaring her off.

    Eulalia gently stroked the singed fur of the ragdoll cat, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her gray eyes were filled with moisture, stinging painfully.Her eyes were either unable to cry or unable to stop once they started. Now they seemed almost blind with grief. She tilted her head back, veins bulging in her neck, mouth slightly open and eyes tightly shut as she let out a hoarse, anguished cry.Her choked, raspy voice was broken, like a rusty knife scraping against a whetstone - so harsh and painful to hear that it made one's heart clench.Victor's eyes were red too, but he turned away silently. He couldn't show any weakness, afraid he wouldn't be able to support Eulalia if he did.Kneeling on the ground, Eulalia slowly scattered dirt over Misty's body, burying her until she was no longer visible. Eulalia's thin frame shook violently, her fragmented sobs growing from quiet to loud as her grief reached its peak.Eulalia had never imagined she could feel heartbreak like t

    As much as she wanted to block out the world, cruel voices kept invading Eulalia's ears. Misty wasn't just a cat; she had saved Eulalia's life. They had promised to be together forever. Misty was family, a lifeline in her darkest moments, a light in the shadows.Eulalia's voice was hoarse, her tear-choked words barely intelligible as she called out "Misty" over and over. The pain in her chest was unbearable, desperately needing something to fill the void. Her grip on Victor's shirt loosened as she clutched Misty's collar tightly to her heart."Eulalia," Victor whispered. The girl in his arms was ice-cold, shivering uncontrollably. Her anguished sobs had faded to quiet whimpers.Even after crying her heart out, Eulalia wasn't feeling any better. Her veins were bulging, her temples throbbing. Her body alternated between freezing shivers and feverish heat, her back burning and itching.Victor's heart clenched. He opened his mouth, but no words of comfort came out.Kneeling down, Victor g

    Eulalia's hands trembled as she reached out to touch Misty's wounded body. Her hands came away bloody. Ropes had cut deeply into Misty's limbs, and blood covered the cat's body, tail, paws, and head."Misty..." Eulalia's eyes were terrifyingly red, dry from the intensity of her grief. The pain was so extreme she couldn't even cry.In a daze, Eulalia somehow managed to untie the ropes binding Misty. All she could see were the burn wounds on Misty's skin and the blood oozing from four small punctures in the cat's mouth. Misty's sharpest fangs had been viciously pulled out. How much agony had Misty endured?"Misty, I'm here now. Look at me. Didn't we promise to always be together?" Eulalia's body shook as she cradled the bloodied cat. "I'll cancel all my work... I'll stay by your side from now on. I'll never leave you with anyone else again. Please, just hang on a little longer..."Misty lay in Eulalia's arms, struggling to open her eyes at the sound of Eulalia's voice.It's Eulalia... E

    Barry noticed the collar around the cat's neck and tried to cut it off with a knife, but it wouldn't budge. Frustrated, she gave up—she couldn’t waste time on a collar.Gripping the cat's jaw, she forced its mouth open, grabbing its sharp teeth with pliers. "You want to bite me? I’ll pull out every last tooth and see if you try that again."Misty trembled, lying helpless on the ground, bound and unable to move. After all, it was just a cat—no way to beg for mercy.Barry's eyes darkened, and with a sharp tug, a sickening crack rang out, like bones being torn from flesh. Misty's scream filled the air."Meow..." Blood spilled from the cat's mouth, staining its once-pristine fur. Misty lay there, defeated, and in that moment, all it could think about was Eulalia."I just wanted to spend more time with you... I wanted to see you again…"...After dinner, Eulalia was told to get ready for the next scene. She glanced at the door, feeling uneasy—Jane hadn't returned yet. Eulalia called her, a

    Eulalia took the phone Jane handed her and attached the tracking device to Misty’s collar. “Misty's well-behaved; she won't run off.” “I know, but just in case… too many people dislike me. If they can’t get to me, they might target Misty. A tracker at least adds some safety.” Eulalia focused on the device, missing the brief flicker in Jane’s expression. Jane pressed her lips together, hesitating like she wanted to say something, but held back. “All done,” Eulalia returned the phone, noticing Jane still looked tense. She ruffled her hair. “If something’s on your mind, tell me, don’t bottle it up.” “I…” Jane started, then glanced at Misty in her arms, “I’m fine, really.” “Alright, if you say so.” Eulalia could sense something off, but couldn’t quite place it. Maybe Jane had issues at home these past few days. It wasn’t her place to pry if Jane didn’t want to talk.Just then, Reid called, telling Eulalia to get ready for her scenes. The day was packed with her shoot, and wrap

    Percival’s heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand arrows at the thought of Eulalia in bed with Victor. It was only 1 a.m. when he glanced at the clock, and he reached under his pillow for the wedding photo of him and Eulalia. In the picture, she smiled cautiously, her dimples soft, eyes gentle. The photo wasn’t big, but he pressed it to his chest alongside the well-worn journal he often read, then lay back down.That night, he didn’t dream. But when he woke, his eyes were damp, his face sticky with tears that left his skin stinging.As a cancer patient, Percival's body was weak, and he often caught colds easily. The open window and a night of cold wind, combined with the emotional breakdown after seeing the picture Victor posted, left him feverish.The housekeeper was the first to notice and rushed to inform Mr. Lee, who promptly called for a doctor. The doctor came, measured Percival's temperature, and set up an IV. But as the doctor tried to insert the needle, he noticed

    Eulalia had never seen a post about herself deleted so quickly before.She sat cradling Misty in one arm, absently fingering the tag on the cat's collar. After a few minutes, her phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number:"Eulalia, I don't want you as a replacement anymore. Stay by my side and I can protect you. Percival is ruthless - if you want a better life, stay far away from that madman."Eulalia frowned as she read the message. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard to reply "Go to hell," but she thought better of it and deleted the draft. There was nothing worth saying to someone like Trent. She blocked the number and set up a custom auto-reply instead.Meanwhile, Trent was anxiously awaiting Eulalia's response. He thought he had made himself clear - surely the small-town girl would get the hint. But after half an hour of silence, doubt crept in. Had she not seen the message? Or was she too afraid to reply?He sent another text:"If you come back to me obediently, I'm will
