Curtis kept silently repeating Lilac's name in his mind. Only Lilac's name could keep him clear-headed.

He held Margot's hand tightly and, in a raspy voice, said, "Let's take a break and continue when it's light out."

Margot had long been thinking about taking a break.

Curtis' appearance made her not want to take another step forward.

She quickly took a blanket out of her backpack to cover Curtis and told him, "You lie down, and I'll get some dry wood to start a fire."

On such a dark night, with the mountain being so cold, they had to start a fire. Otherwise, they would continue to lose their bodily heat. By that point, they might not even make it to the hilltop before they die.

"Okay."

Curtis lay there, dazed, watching the bustling figures around him with an overwhelming ache in his heart.

"Margot, I'm really sorry for always making you go through tough times with me," he apologized.

Margot was busy carrying firewood over to their firepit. She set about lighting the fire as t

    As Jordan watched Branden's tall and broad figure from behind, he blinked, and his cheeks puffed out like balloons.Branden turned around to look at him. When he saw Jordan with such a pouty expression, he found it somewhat amusing and frustrating at the same time.Among the disciples, Jordan seemed the most carefree, but it turned out he had a strong sense of justice. He even knew how to worry and care about others.Branden asked, "Do you ever wish you had parents like Solace's?"After all, Jordan was found by Branden next to a trash can on the side of the road without any parents or relatives.Strangely enough, he had an incredibly strong will to survive. It just so happened that it would also eliminate any negative influences in Solace's fortune.With his willingness to give, wouldn't Solace be able to return to her parents and be a carefree child once again, just like before?Jordan looked sad and asked Branden in a somewhat puzzled manner, "Master, what do you mean? Are you

    Margot and Curtis stayed up all night as they were too afraid to sleep. Neither could they fall asleep.Curtis spent the entire night in pain, but the thought of Lilac's safety and Margot's presence kept him sane the whole time.They only got a few moments of rest, holding each other warmly until dawn broke.It was during this brief moment that they caught a whiff of an unusual smell.Curtis was the first to open his eyes.At that moment, the sky began to light up with a grayish hue.Curtis was shocked into complete disbelief when he saw a spotted tiger, about three feet tall, staring intently at them from a short distance away.Even his feelings of continuous pain had eased somewhat from the shock.He hurriedly reached out to nudge Margot, saying softly, "Margot, wake up."Margot suddenly woke up, worried that something had happened to Curtis. She quickly looked over to check on him."What's wrong? Are you okay?" she asked."I'm fine!" Curtis pointed ahead and said, "Look."

    Curtis watched the tiger, which seemed to have no intention of attacking just yet, and urged Margot to leave.However, Margot still refused to leave. She hurried to stand in front of Curtis, putting herself between him and the tiger, and cried out, "Curtis, I'm not going to leave you behind! I once let you down, and those years made you feel worse than death. I regret it deeply, you know?"You are willing to face danger for me. How could I possibly leave you? I don't want to be apart from you."She reached out to embrace him and couldn't help but start sobbing.Curtis froze. Margot's repeated assurances of unwavering support strengthened a particular conviction in his mind—no matter what happened in life, he must never push Margot away.But… If he didn't push her away now, both of them would die.Additionally, he had such a severe headache that he was worried he might lose control and not be able to look after Margot.So… After thinking it over, Curtis suddenly pushed Margot off

    Margot was taken aback when she saw a little girl nearby wearing a habit and her hair tied in a bun, glaring at her with a cute yet fierce expression.The stone Margot held suddenly dropped and fell to the ground.Margot murmured softly, "Sabrina…"She was completely frozen, standing there in a daze and staring blankly at the little girl.No. That wasn't Sabrina York, Branden's "daughter", but rather Margot's daughter, Lilac. She was Curtis and Margot's daughter, Lilac Stone.Margot was stunned and looked at Lilac with tears welling up in her eyes.Curtis was no longer able to withstand his headaches. It might have been because the tiger was stepping on him, preventing him from seeing the paper charm with Lilac's name on it. It caused him to lose consciousness and faint at the tiger's feet.Solace noticed that Romulus was going a bit too overboard and sternly scolded it, "I just wanted you to scare the ones who were going up the mountain. How did you end up knocking someone out?

    The delicate-looking face, although it didn't look like Lilac's did back then,… undoubtedly, this was Curtis' daughter.She was the daughter that Branden brought to them, but he didn't allow her to be reunited with them.Curtis slowly sat up and looked at his daughter with reddened eyes. He reached out to hold her.Solace avoided his actions, furrowed her brows, and blinked her doe-like eyes curiously as she asked, "Mister, miss, have you met me before? Why did you say I'm doing well when I'm right in front of you?"This couple was really strange. Why did they start crying as soon as they saw Solace? They probably wanted her to take responsibility, right? After all, it was Romulus that scared them so much.When Curtis saw Solace's resistance and heard her questions, he snapped back to reality and vividly recalled the words Jordan had told them earlier.They could not reveal or acknowledge that she was their daughter.But… He really wanted to hug her.Curtis couldn't hold back a

    Curtis and Margot saw Solace staring at their backpack while licking her lips nonstop. It was obvious she wanted something to eat.Margot hurried over, bent down to pick up the backpack, and took out some cake and boxed milk to hand to Solace. "Come and join us for a meal."Curtis laid out a mat beside him and motioned to Solace, saying, "Come on, sweetie. Sit here, and we'll eat together."Solace felt a bit embarrassed. But she couldn't help but stare longingly at the food. She blinked her wide, innocent eyes and said, "You have quite a lot of food there. Are the two of you able to finish it? If you can't, I could help you with it."Curtis exchanged a glance with Margot and laughed, saying, "Yeah, we have more than we can eat, so why don't you help us out?"Margot emptied all the food onto the mat, pulled Solace over, and said, "Yeah. Pick whatever you want to eat." Solace licked her lips, kneeled on the ground, and picked up a packet of cake. "I'd like to try this.""Sure, I'

    Curtis also had a bit of strength in him now. He crouched down in front of Solace and gestured, saying, "Come on, Solace. I'll carry you up."Solace quickly waved her hands and pulled Margot over to her side. "Mister, you should carry your wife on your back. I have Romulus. Romulus can carry me."After she said that, she ran toward Romulus.Romulus saw Solace approaching and sensibly lay down on the ground again. It waited until she climbed onto its back before it stood up.Curtis watched his daughter's actions with a sense of melancholy.A tiger as large as Romulus was remarkably gentle in front of Solace. Despite its size, the gentle tiger looked quite cute now.He didn't insist on Solace anymore and turned to Margot. "Want me to carry you?"Margot frowned. "Are you really feeling better?"Curtis nodded. "Yeah. I've got the energy. Come here."He crouched down in front of Margot, gesturing for her to climb onto his back.Margot couldn't bear to let him carry her.What he e

    Each of the children there were quite young-looking, too.Margot felt a bit embarrassed when she saw that they all had smiles on their faces, as if they were genuinely welcoming them."Right this way, miss. Our master mentioned you would be coming and had us specially prepare some food for you."Jace, being the eldest disciple there, nodded and led the way for Curtis and Margot.Margot smiled slightly, said thank you, and then left with Curtis and Jace.Jordan followed along. He didn't immediately rush forward to call out to his parents.Instead, he secretly watched them from the side. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them.Finally, he moved close to Mike and signaled. "Sir, could you put Solace down? I have something to discuss with her."Mike glanced at Jordan, and without asking further questions, he gently set down Solace from his embrace.Jordan gently pulled Soalce aside and whispered in her ear, "Hey, I've got a secret to tell you."Solace looked at Jordan

    Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len

    "If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be

    Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he

    "Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th

    She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s

    "How do you think my sister is doing over there? Is Calvin treating her and her son well?"Tommy believed that Curtis, no matter what, grew up together with his sister.He would definitely tell the truth.Unlike his little nephew, who often sided with outsiders and only highlighted their good qualities.Curtis laughed. "If someone were to say that your sister is the happiest woman in the world right now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.During the month of postpartum confinement, Calvin stayed by her side constantly. Even though they were in a maternity center, he personally took care of both children. Your sister married him, you can be completely assured about it. She will only be happier, and he's taking great care of Benjamin too."Calvin was known for his impeccable character and conduct.Tommy felt relieved after hearing that.As long as his sister wasn't being mistreated over there, it was all good.He thought he still needed to take his parents to visit his siste

    Laura felt that she just couldn't stand being alone with Tommy.It felt as though the air was so thin that she couldn't breathe properly.She didn't even want to respond to the last remark. She got up without looking at him and walked straight toward the stairs.Tommy watched her walk away and sighed helplessly.It was good that she was aware of keeping a certain distance from him.At this moment, Jordan came over holding water and handed it to Tommy with both hands."Here's some water for you.""Alright, thank you."Tommy took the mug, pulled the child to sit next to him, and asked, “What’s your name?”"Jordan Crosby."Previously, his master gave him the name Jordan Mahome.After coming back with Margot and Curtis, they gave him the family surname.So now he was called Jordan Crosby.He really liked this name, too."Jordan Crosby, that's a nice-sounding name. So how old are you?" Tommy asked with a smile.Jordan laughed along and asked, "I'm eight years old. How about y

    Ashley sighed."Natalie has always been someone who only shares the good news and keeps the bad to herself. She's always been a child you can't help but feel for. Thankfully, she married such a great person like your eldest brother, which means she can live a happy life."Both Elias and Ashley were well aware of Calvin's character.Back when Curtis had an accident and lost his memory, it was Calvin who stepped in and took care of everything for their family.A man who was both capable and responsible, and held a high position of power, marrying Natalie, who had been married before, indicated that he truly loved Natalie.Fortunately, Natalie lived up to expectations and gave birth to a set of fraternal twins for Calvin."She is genuinely happy right now," said Margot with a smile.She just didn't know how long her father planned to keep doing this.He really shouldn't bring that woman home; it would disgust Calvin and Natalie."Then I'll call the Nelsons in a bit to ask when th

    When Margot and they returned to Amberville, it was already evening.Anthony didn't go with Lena and Margot to the Crosby Residence; instead, he went to Alice Manor.There was no one there, and Edna's mother had also been taken to Emeria to settle down.It was just the perfect romantic time for the two of them.When Margot and Curtis walked through the front door holding their son, they happened to catch their parents having dinner with the two kids.Jordan was the first to see them coming back, and he jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Dad, Mom, you're back!"He was so happy that he quickly got up from his chair and ran toward them.Margot opened her arms to embrace the child running toward her, with an apologetic look on her face."I'm sorry, Jordan. Ever since I brought you back, I haven't had any time to spend with you. You don't blame me, do you?"She'd been gone for about a month.It’d been such a long time, and she imagined that not being able to see her must have made
