"Because I like you."Lina, I don't know how to start a relationship, but I read online that it usually begins with a confession."Maybe my confession was out of order... but I really like you."Would you like to try liking me back?"If possible... like what your mother said, let's change our marriage certificate into a real one after a year or so... is that okay?"Zuko said all of this in one breath, feeling a sense of relief as if the dust had settled, but what followed was nervousness and unease. He looked silently at Lina, observing the ever-changing depths of her gaze.In his first 20-something years of life, he made most of the decisions himself. Never before had there been a moment like that, where he had to wait for someone else to decide his fate."L-Lina… can you give me an answer?" he asked.Lina was quiet for a moment before she suddenly burst into laughter. She looked at the white and soft cotton candy in Zuko's hand as if he had plucked it from the sky. She tiptoe

Renee silently nodded.Just then, the cable car passed through a junction and shook for a moment. Renee grasped the railing tightly to steady herself.Melvin glanced at her expressionlessly.In the past 20 years, he had never acknowledged this daughter of his, nor had he ever cared about her. She was a stain in his life.He had never loved Renee's mother. It was just a moment of indulgence after getting drunk. Besides, her mother was not exactly clean either. Which respectable girl would go to a bar to dance and flirt in the middle of the night?Melvin had no intention of taking responsibility. Once he pulled up his pants, he would not acknowledge anyone. He never expected that a year later, that woman would show up with a baby, claiming that she had fallen in love with him at first sight, and that was why she had given birth to their child.Melvin secretly had a DNA paternity test done on the child, and it turned out to be his own! Coincidentally, Pamela was also born around the

For many years, Renee and her mother, relied on each other for survival, living a poor but simple and happy life. Their world was actually very small—so small that it only consisted of the two of them."If you don't want your mother to die, then listen to me!" Melvin viciously grabbed her chin. "Heh, help me gain control of the Thompsons, and your mother will be saved, understand?"Renee nodded incessantly.Despite feeling guilty about deceiving Nicholas and his wife, Melvin insisted that she continue acting. Therefore, she had to steel herself and continue with the charade."By the way, you've been getting close to Toph lately, right?""No..." Renee's voice choked. "I... I haven't given him a chance to touch me... Last time at the hospital, it was just a coincidence...""I don't think you dare reveal anything!" Melvin stared coldly at her, contemplating. "The Hamertons are not to be underestimated. They definitely have suspicions about you!""What should I do?""Toph might've

As expected, Mary brought her daughter over for "medical help" to treat her irregular menstruation the next morning.Mary believed that this would bring Zuko and her daughter closer, as he wouldn't need to check her pulse during holistic healing.She confidently smiled while her daughter looked at Zuko with allure, her dark freckles on her face forming a smile.Conveniently shaking the golden bangles on her wrist, she placed her arm on the table.Zuko frowned, trying to hide his urge to laugh.He stayed still, stealing glances at Lina, who stood beside him.Lina's stern face was both terrifying and cute, especially her pouty, moist, and pink lips that made him recall the taste of the "cotton candy" from the other day.Just as Mary had Zuko check her daughter's pulse, Lina slammed two marriage certificates on the table!The mother and daughter were shocked, their eyes wide open as they looked at Lina.Lina showed her firm stance, lacking the usual gentleness in her beautiful do

"How's it?" Zuko released his lips after a long time. "Does the 'magic pill' cure everything?"Lina blushed and buried herself in his embrace, avoiding eye contact.However, a commotion erupted at the door. Dave rushed in...Lina's expression changed, and she quickly pushed Zuko away."Mr. Door Guardian!" Dave appeared flustered. "I heard everything you said when I was out there!"Zuko was taken aback. "What... did you hear?""You have a magic pill that cures everything!"Zuko looked uncomfortable and remained silent."You managed to heal my dad, bro. I trust in your medical skills, and I believe there's definitely such a pill that exists in this world! Can it fix my foot?" asked Dave."No, no..." Zuko started sweating. "I—""Bro, I hurt my foot playing basketball yesterday. My ankle is still swollen. Let me try the pill!" insisted Dave.Zuko looked like he was on the verge of collapse as he glanced at Lina, who was struggling to hold back her laughter.Suddenly, a voice ca

Zuko regained his composure and glanced at Fred, scoffing slightly. "Didn't you ask me if you're okay? I was just telling the truth...""Okay, okay!" Fred was sweating nervously. "Um... Zeke, can we talk about my illness alone?"Zuko considered it for a moment and stood up. He followed Fred to his car, which was parked at the entrance of the alley. He had brought a needle with him.Zuko repeated everything he had discovered from checking Fred's pulse inside the car.After listening, Fred nodded in understanding.In truth, before coming to Zuko, Fred had visited a holistic doctor. He had sought Zuko out to verify if the rumors about his abilities were true. Additionally, Fred had heard that the president of the Southeast Aciatic Medical Association doted on his grandson. Not only had he passed on his knighthood to him, but he had also taught him everything about holistic healing...Fred wanted to test whether Zeke was truly Zuko!As he listened to Zuko naming his illness and expl

Toph recounted everything from the beginning, causing Zuko to squint slightly. "So, you're saying you took Pammy's mug?""Yes, I took it without anyone noticing, and I made sure to handle it carefully. The sample on it is definitely hers," Toph confirmed."And then you sent the sample along with Uncle Nicholas'?" inquired Zuko."Yes!" Toph raised an eyebrow. "Getting his sample was easy. I sent it to our hospital, keeping everything within our control!"Zuko contemplated for a moment. "You mentioned visiting Pammy at the hospital. Did she make any calls while she was there?"Toph had a sudden realization. "Hmm? Was she calling someone in the hospital during her illness?"Zuko nodded, his eyes filled with depth. "We can't jump to conclusions before we find out the truth. Besides, she was adopted before returning. It's possible she was calling her adoptive mother out of habit.""You're always so cautious, bro!" Toph stretched his body and spoke casually. "What more is there to fin

"Do you really think we don't know what you guys are plotting?" Zephyr questioned.Zuko addressed his parents, saying, "Dad, mom...""Alright, let's cut to the chase," Cordelia interjected gently. "Your father and I have had doubts about Pammy's identity. We held back because we didn't want to hurt Nicholas and Linda."Zuko paused. "Mom, Toph and I suspect something is seriously wrong with Melvin. But when Toph met Pammy and obtained a sample for a DNA test, it matched Uncle Nicholas's!"So I suspect someone may have tampered with it.""There are numerous doctors at the joint hospital. It's unlikely that all of them are loyal to the Hamertons," Cordelia remarked. "If someone with malicious intent wanted to bribe a couple of them, it would be easy.""But the important thing is not to alert the enemy before the truth is revealed." Zephyr chimed in with a smile. "I've taught you both about throwing feints in boxing. Feint first before delivering the knockout blow! This principle app

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
