"Dr. Lee, I've decided to participate in the cryogenic experiment. Please sign me up," Gemma Kirk said calmly.On the other end of the line, her professor, Taylor Lee, sounded hesitant. "Gemma, have you really thought this through? I know the cancer diagnosis has been devastating for you, but there's still hope for treatment—""But it's late-stage lymphoma. It's untreatable," Gemma interrupted.Taylor sighed deeply. "But cryogenic technology isn't fully developed yet. They've never experimented on a living person before. There's a high chance you'll lose your life the moment they freeze you! Please think it over…"Gemma smiled faintly. "Dr. Lee, I've already made up my mind."With that, she hung up.A headline notification had appeared on her phone screen just minutes earlier.The photo showed Evangeline Morris and Murphy Townsend holding hands, and there was a sparkling blue diamond ring on Evangeline's ring finger.Even through the screen, the blue diamond radiated a brillian...

Chapter 2
Gemma's parents passed away when she was very young.An old, tattered newspaper still bore the tragic headline: "Socialite Suffers Mental Breakdown, Stabs Husband Over a Hundred Times While He Sleeps, Then Hangs Herself—Leaves Behind a Five-Year-Old Orphan."She was that five-year-old orphan.On a freezing winter night, she hid in a wardrobe wearing only her pajamas. The cold seeped into her small body until she was nearly numb, but she did not dare come out.It was Murphy who eventually found her and carried her out."Be good, Gemma. Don't be scared. I'm here. As long as I'm around, no one will ever hurt you," he said gently.She nestled in Murphy's arms, feeling safe for the first time in what felt like forever.Murphy took her home. Perhaps he pitied her tragic circumstances, but he spoiled her endlessly. Whatever she wanted—no matter how impossible—he would give it to her, even if it meant reaching for the stars.In fact, he truly did reach for the stars for her. The horrif

Chapter 3
Gemma's parents were also buried by Murphy. On the day of their burial, Gemma locked herself in the wardrobe again.Murphy found her but did not force her to come out. Instead, he opened the wardrobe door and climbed inside to stay with her."Uncle Murphy, is it as dark and cold inside a coffin as it is here?" she asked with reddened eyes. "I dreamed that Mom told me to join her in the coffin. She said it's cold and lonely being in there all by herself…""That was just a dream," Murphy reassured her. "Don't be afraid. You're not going anywhere. I won't let anyone take you away from me."She wrapped her arms around Murphy's neck and softly whispered in his ear, "As long as you're with me, I wouldn't even be scared of being in a coffin."…It seemed Murphy still remembered that moment.He had misunderstood. He thought Gemma was using the cryo-casket project as a subtle way to confess her feelings to him again."Uncle Murphy, if you don't like it, I'll change my design," Gemma sai

Chapter 4
Evangeline stumbled weakly, collapsing into Murphy's arms as though she could not stand on her own. With tears brimming in her eyes and a trembling voice, she said, "Murphy, don't blame Gemma. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have come out dressed like this to get some water."I just thought that it was so late and Gemma would already be asleep, so I didn't bother putting on a robe and just stepped out in my slip dress. But as soon as I opened the door, I ran into Gemma. She saw these marks on me and called me shameless, saying that a woman as indecent as me has no right to be with you."With just a few words, she painted Gemma as a mentally twisted troublemaker who stayed up in the middle of the night. Evangeline said Gemma had eavesdropped outside Murphy's door and, after getting consumed by jealousy, resorted to attacking his fiancée."She's lying. I didn't insult her," Gemma said with slightly reddened eyes. "She deliberately provoked me by bringing up my parents… And… And she

Chapter 5
The new month was approaching quickly, and Gemma's time was running out.There was still so much she needed to do, and she refused to waste her precious remaining days confined to her room.So, the once-proud young woman lowered her head. She approached Murphy, biting her lip as she apologized, "Uncle Murphy, I've thought it through. It was all my fault. I'm sorry."However, Murphy's expression remained cold. The tender indulgence he once held for her was gone. "I'm not the one you should apologize to—it's Eva."Her lip bled as she bit down harder, and the metallic taste filled her mouth. In that bitter moment, she realized the warmth and affection he used to reserve for her had long since been given to another woman."Fine, I'll apologize to her!" she said, her voice trembling as her entire body shook with emotion. She turned to Evangeline and choked out, "I'm sorry, Aunt Eva."The term "Aunt Eva" made Murphy freeze for a moment.His dark eyes flickered briefly, as though he

"Why'd you go through my things?" Gemma panicked as she avoided Murphy's question entirely. "I'm 18 now. You can't just barge into my room and rummage through my stuff!"Murphy's expression darkened as he slammed the ashtray on the table. "Is that the main point here?!"The ashtray hit the floor with a dull thud, and Gemma flinched in fear."Gemma, you've misunderstood your uncle." At the height of the tension, Evangeline stepped in with a false air of concern. "He didn't go into your room. It's my fault. I didn't have any clean clothes, and the ones I wore yesterday… Well, they got ruined by your Uncle Murphy…"She blushed, feigning shyness as she paused for effect before continuing, "I had nothing to wear, so I went into your room to borrow an old outfit of yours. But while looking, I accidentally came across this cancer diagnosis on your desk."She was lying. Gemma had locked the cancer diagnosis away on the very first day she received it.Yet in Evangeline's story, it sounded

Chapter 7
"Although there's no sign of cancer, Ms. Kirk is currently in poor health and severely malnourished," the doctor said, as if sensing Murphy's doubts. He added calmly, "Has she been dieting to lose weight recently? It's normal for young women to want to look their best, but extreme dieting is harmful—especially for someone like Ms. Kirk. Her health is already seriously affected."Look at how pale her face is. No wonder you mistook it for something as serious as cancer."Murphy's expression darkened immediately.Gemma had not been eating properly recently, which was not surprising. She was sick, after all, and Murphy was cold and dismissive toward her. She felt unwanted. How could she be in the mood to eat well?Yet in Murphy's eyes, this painted a very different picture."You've gone so far as to destroy your health just to fake an illness and deceive me?" His gaze turned icy, cold enough to freeze the heat of summer."What's your goal? To make me pity you and agree to be with y

Chapter 8
The wedding was lively, filled with notable elites and socialites who came to celebrate. Dressed in a voluminous, grand wedding gown, Evangeline leaned happily into Murphy's embrace.Murphy wore a sleek black suit that day."Uncle Murphy looks so handsome," Gemma thought. He was mature, composed, and exuded an air of elegance, seemingly untouched by time. Thirteen years had passed, yet he looked just as he did when he carried her out of the wardrobe—still so handsome and dashing.Her gaze lingered on him, and she was unable to look away. She watched him with a quiet longing for several moments before finally stepping forward to present the wedding gift she had prepared."Uncle Murphy, congratulations on your marriage," she said sincerely. She truly wished him happiness and peace in the future.Murphy accepted the gift and took a deep look at Gemma. He did not say a word, but something unspoken stirred within his eyes. It was an emotion he could not allow to surface, and he left

Chapter 9
A week later, Murphy and Evangeline returned to the villa.The house was eerily quiet, and Murphy instinctively frowned. Something felt off. It did not take long for him to realize what it was—Gemma had not come out to greet him.Every time he returned from a business trip, Gemma would rush to him, throw herself into his arms, and exclaim in her playful way, "Uncle Murphy, what took you so long? I missed you so much!"Yet this time, there was no one waiting for him.Murphy felt a twinge of irritation, but then he remembered how he had stood her up before leaving. That small spark of annoyance was quickly suppressed."Gemma?" he called out, hoping she would come out.This time, he had brought her a gift from his trip—a gesture to make up for what had happened.Even so, the villa remained silent. There was no reply."That girl, why isn't she saying anything?" Evangeline chimed in with a bright smile."Do you think she's still upset with you? After all, we left in such a rush tha

Chapter 10
With Evangeline's deliberate manipulation, Murphy quickly assumed that Gemma had left home out of spite.Anger flared within him. "She ran away over something so trivial? She's out of control!"Seeing how furious Murphy was, Evangeline felt a surge of joy, though she maintained a facade of concern. Furrowing her brows together, she said worriedly, "Why would Gemma be so impulsive? Murphy, she can't have gone far. You should send someone to look for her immediately!"The world is so dangerous these days. A young girl like her could be in serious trouble out there!"Murphy's expression darkened. "A young girl? She's already 18!"In Haroland, 18 was considered the age of adulthood.As an adult, Gemma should be responsible for her actions. But she was still as impulsive and reckless as ever, showing no signs of growth.Thinking of this, Murphy's barely contained anger reignited, burning hotter than before. His expression hardened as he said coldly, "If she doesn't want to come back,
