On the other end of the phone, Anthony's gentle and deep voice could be heard."Honey, are you back in Amberville?"Lena's mind went blank. She held the cellphone to her ear for a long time without reacting.Anthony didn't hear a response, so he called out again, "Honey, are you listening to me?"Lena snapped back to reality, and responded with a hum. "Anthony," she said."I'm here."She requested, "Can you book a plane ticket for me? I want to come visit you."She wanted to take the golden pendant and go to Emeria to find out if she truly belonged to the royal family.A golden pendant can't prove anything, but a paternity test can.She had to figure out why her master left her a golden pendant that belonged to a dead person.Anthony thought that Lena wanted to see him because she missed him, so he immediately said, "Okay, I'll arrange that for you. When do you plan on coming over? Tomorrow, or some other time?"Lena responded, "I'll wait for Margot to get better soon. I'l
Downstairs, breakfast was already prepared and set out.After a short while, Natalie and Lena also came downstairs and joined the others in the dining room.Natalie was pleasantly surprised to see that Margot could finally get out of bed and that she looked much better."Margot, are you feeling better now?" she asked. Margot nodded and said, "After Lena got me to drink a couple of sips of some herbal liquor last night, I took a nap and felt much better when I woke up."Natalie gazed at Lena with admiration and remarked, "How are you so impressive at such a young age?"Lena gave a slight smile and sat down next to her."I grew up in the mountains and never left. My master only taught me to read and write, along with some unique skills that no one else knows. I never thought they'd actually come in handy," she said.In reality, the strange behaviors she exhibited made it seem like she was pretending to be mystical or supernatural to others.One may not realize it, but the world
Anthony thought that only Lena was visiting.He made a special effort to prepare a bouquet of 99 roses for her.When he saw the three of them getting off the plane, he realized that his single bouquet of flowers wouldn't be enough for all of them.Despite feeling nervous, he forced himself to walk forward with the bouquet of fresh flowers and handed them to Lena.Lena smiled as she accepted it and politely said, "Thank you."Anthony felt a warmth inside when he noticed that Lena's attitude toward him had finally changed.He turned to Margot with an apologetic expression."Just two nights ago, I heard Curtis mention that you weren’t feeling well. I didn't expect you to join us today, so I didn't prepare any fresh flowers for you. I hope you don’t take it the wrong way."Margot felt somewhat helpless and said, "Do we really care about that bouquet of flowers? Besides, men usually buy fresh flowers to give to the woman they love."Margot looked at the bouquet in Lena's arms and a
Lena got out of the car and looked at the intricately carved fountain beside her, feeling quite amazed.Looking again at the big house ahead, she admitted to herself that she was jealous.No wonder Regina doesn't allow ordinary women to marry her son.For a castle like this, the people who can live in it were naturally those born into nobility, raised in privileged environments, and were well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and other refined arts.What surprised her even more was that when the castle gates opened, dozens of young girls dressed as maids walked out in unison.They lined up in two rows, hands crossed in front of their stomachs as they said in unison, "Welcome back, Ms. Stone, Mr. Morris, and Ms. Lemia."Lena felt a bit embarrassed by the whole situation.She quickly moved closer to Margot.Margot took her hand and said, "You don't need to worry about it."In fact, for Margot, it took a lot of courage for her to let go of the past and forget
After hearing Lena's question, Anthony looked at her and, without thinking much, said, "Not far, it's just next door. Why do you ask?"Lena laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just find it surprising that in the 21st century there are still countries with royal families. I've only ever seen them on TV.""The royal family is probably similar to ordinary families, right?" she asked.Anthony nodded. "Yeah, there's no real difference. They just believe they're of noble blood and think they're superior from the moment they're born."Lena went silent, lowered her head, and quietly ate her food.Curtis, who was observing Lena’s subtle reactions, suddenly wondered why she had come to Emeria to find Anthony.And she was so curious about the royal family too.Could that golden pendant have something to do with her?However, Curtis kept his suspicions to himself and didn't voice them.After the meal, and feeling tired from the flight, the three of them went to rest in their rooms.Margot
Anthony felt like the pain was almost unbearable.If she doesn't help him soon, he'll pass out.Lena was somewhat speechless.Right now, she felt quite embarrassed to approach him, although she had done something like this before.But back then, she was fearless and naïve, completely unaware of the complexities between men and women. She was solely focused on treating and saving people, with no stray thoughts.But now...Anthony saw her standing still in a daze and shouted with a frown, "Honey, please help me, I really can't take it anymore!"Lena said, "Then take off your pants."Anthony wailed, "I can't do it, I don't have the strength."He couldn't even take off his pants, so he must be in a lot of pain.Fine, she'll handle it.Lena pulled down his trousers, leaving him in his underwear. She then raised her hand, pressing around until she found the acupuncture point, and started inserting the silver needles.Anthony was really in a lot of pain.Even with Lena's hand on
Calvin immediately looked at Curtis and asked, "Did Natalie come too?"Curtis shook his head. "She didn't come. The doctor advised her to rest during her pregnancy, and said that she shouldn't fly. I came with Margot and Lena."Calvin felt a bit disappointed at first, but then thought that it was great that Margot was here too.He glanced around and, not seeing Lena and Margot, immediately asked, "Where are they?""After traveling for a long time, they were exhausted. They're resting in their rooms now,” Curtis said.Calvin asked, "Have you eaten?""Yes, I have.""Alright, you take a seat. I'll call Natalie."Thinking about how Natalie must be feeling lonely by herself because she didn't come over, Calvin quickly made a phone call to comfort her.Curtis sat next to him, handling the document that Chester had sent him on his phone.After ending the phone call, Calvin asked Curtis, "Would you like me to show you around?"Although the Morris residence wasn't an ancient building
If she hadn't gone missing, she would still be the cherished gem of this family.So why did she blame her parents, and why did she resent her mom for what happened in the past?But what was the use of finally understanding now? The dead can never come back.Even though she had forgiven them, she could never see them again."Mom, Dad, Daniel..."Margot choked up, feeling more and more distressed the longer she looked at the tombstones.When Curtis and Calvin arrived, they quickly went up to help her."Margot, don't cry anymore."Curtis gently held her close, wiping away her tears while comforting her."Just pay your respects to them, don't make yourself ill from crying too much."Margot had just recovered from a serious illness. What if she fainted again due to excessive grief?"Yes, don't cry too much and hurt yourself. Let's go outside first."Calvin helped his sister get up.Margot was still in a state of grief and wasn't able to pull herself together just yet.Curtis s
