Percival froze. His chest still felt dully painful. He pressed a hand to it, looking up at Oliver with dark eyes, taking in his nervous, worried, extremely complex expression.

A sense of unease rose in him. He had a feeling Oliver was hiding something major.

What did he mean, "You'll die"?

Oliver had nagged him about this for three years, telling him to take care of his health or he'd die.

He'd never taken it seriously before. He was already living a life worse than death, wishing more than anyone that he could die quickly.

But hearing Oliver say those words now made him pause. A chill ran down his spine in an instant.

"What do you mean?"

Oliver couldn't meet Percival's questioning gaze. His eyes darted around. After a long moment, he let go of Percival and opened a drawer, taking out the medical report. He carefully placed it on the blanket.

Percival had seen many such reports before, but most were Eulalia's. He rarely saw his own.

He read the report over and over, his body going num

It took nearly four months to heal, and during that recovery period, he still dragged her to the hospital to draw blood for Evadne.Both memories and reality were too bleak. He tried to think of some happy times he had with Eulalia, but he couldn't come up with any. The only bit he could think of was stolen from when Eulalia had lost her memory.Those few months when Eulalia had amnesia were probably the happiest days he'd had in over a decade. Percival thought of Eulalia lying in his arms, laughing and blushing shyly. His eyes suddenly turned red, and the blood in his mouth grew more bitter.It turns out that taking someone's kindness for granted also has consequences. For example, in his case, death was the price."Oliver... do you think if Eulalia knew I had lung cancer, she'd come to see me?"Oliver hadn't expected Percival to still be thinking about Eulalia at a time like this. He paused, then said, "Boss, forg

Most likely about Barry's situation. Sure enough, that's what he started with."Eulalia, you doing okay?""I'm fine," Eulalia said casually. She got up to grab a soda from the cabinet, put the phone on speaker, and opened the can while listening. Reid could hear the sound clearly through the phone.She still had the energy to eat and drink. Looks like it wasn't affecting her much.Reid: "..." He paused for a moment before asking, "Why couldn't I reach you yesterday?""I turned my phone off for a bit.

    Facing a barrage of questions from reporters, Steele calmly replied, "We finished revising the script on the 6th and sent it to Eulalia's agent right after.""Do you have a record of that?""Of course." Steele pulled out his phone, scrolled for a bit, then held it up to one of the cameras. "Here it is."It showed an email sent on the 6th. Not just that - Steele had sent it three times, including once on the 7th.Steele explained, "I was worried she might not receive the script, so I sent it again on the 7th. Her agent even confirmed receiving the file. I don't think an agent would screw over their own client, right?""Why didn't you send it directly to Eulalia instead of going through her agent?"Barry, looking pale beside Steele, wiped her eyes and leaned on his shoulder. "You guys know what's up between us, right? Eulalia snatched the role from the production team using shady methods, and I don’t have her number."Barry was known for being blunt - she said whatever was on her mind.

    The video was crystal clear, and the audio was crisp. You could see Barry looking totally fed up the whole time, not at all professional like she claimed.

And then came the kicker.Barry and Steele said Eulalia changed the script on stage, but the truth was, the script never changed.

    Barry was crying so hard she could barely breathe. Her mind was filled with hatred for Eulalia. Her phone had fallen on the ground, screen facing up, and she stared intently at the comments."Barry's true colors finally showed. Compared to Eulalia, she's shameless and the only thing worth praising might be her acting skills. But when put to the test, even her acting got utterly destroyed. Fans, stop hyping up her 'straightforward' image. To put it bluntly, she's just uncultured and low-quality."Barry's eyes were bloodshot as she choked out, "Eulalia did this on purpose.

    Steele followed her lead and asked, "Help you with what?""Can you go out now and tell the reporters that you planned everything yourself, that it has nothing to do with me..."Now it was Steele's turn to turn pale. "You want me to face the reporters alone...""Don't you like me? Senior, please agree. It's better for one person to take the fall than two. Although I came up with the idea, you benefited from it too, right? Besides, according to the show's rules, only you had the right to modify the script."Steele still stood there without responding, which made Barry increasingly impatient.

She absolutely couldn't let Eulalia ruin her!She stood on her tiptoes and leaned close to Steele's ear, her voice low, "Steele, if you agree, I'll be with you."As soon as she finished speaking, Steele pushed her away.

    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.

    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
