Zuko smiled softly, affirming, "It will definitely happen.""Alright, enough with the sentimentality, you two," Toph chuckled and pointed, diverting their attention. "Look, who's that over there?"Lina followed Toph's finger, her gaze falling upon two middle-aged individuals making their way toward them, their steps unsteady and cautious. The pier's uneven surface caused them to stumble occasionally, but their determination to see their daughter remained unyielding.Lina's heart tightened, rendering her momentarily motionless. She observed the anxiety etched on their faces and the cautious longing in their eyes. Despite their distinguished attire, which made them stand out in the crowd, their movements appeared unsteady and disheveled.A clenched fist rested tightly by Lina's side, her heart seemingly ready to leap out of her throat.Nicholas and Linda, supporting each other, hastened their pace until they reached a certain distance from Lina. Suddenly, they came to a halt, unsure

The news of Justin's criminal gang's arrest in Southeast Aciatic spread rapidly. Television and the Internet were filled with footage of the police escorting them. Justin, wearing a black hood and shackles on his legs and hands, walked slowly due to a gunshot wound.This time, the police seized drugs and conducted simultaneous raids on Justin's hideouts in several neighboring countries of Southeast Aciatic. Justin was now set to face an international trial, multiple charges, and the possibility of the death penalty.Press media from various countries were excited and competed to report this significant news. In the process of reporting on Justin, they incidentally mentioned another criminal gang that the police had captured.Through the screen, Lina saw Krystal, who appeared exhausted yet calm. Despite the handcuffs and the police presence, Krystal still exuded the formidable presence of a boss who commanded the underworld.Feeling a tinge of sadness, Lina agreed with Zuko's earlie

Toph, known for his carefree personality, felt sentimental today, appreciating a parent's love and effort....Unaware of the noises outside, the people in the room remained focused.After changing into two outfits, Lina stared at Zuko, her heart heavy with a question. Before she could ask, he preemptively handed her his phone.Lina froze, unsure of what to make of the gesture.Zuko ruffled her hair, wearing an indulgent smile. "I know you want to call your parents.""You...""Use my phone." Zuko chuckled. "I didn't want them to worry, so I didn't tell them about your disappearance. When I couldn't keep it a secret any longer, I arranged for them to come to Centrolis, intending to tell them the truth. But unexpectedly, you sent a signal at that very moment."Lina silently gazed at him, her emotions intertwining within her."If you use my phone to call, it will prove that we're together, and they can rest assured.""Okay.""By the way, Melvin was arrested, but he still has so

"Mom, dad, Dave, I'm really sorry for making you worry!" Lina's emotions got the best of her, making her talkative. To avoid scaring them, she decided to keep the part about being abducted onto the ship to herself."Actually, these past few days... um, I've been with Zuko the whole time! We just arrived in Southeast Aciatic today.""Sis, did you go to that palace again?" Dave said with envy. "I saw the photos from your study tour last time. It looked so beautiful there!""I'll take you for a visit there when you get into university!" Zuko took the phone and chuckled softly.Dave cheered excitedly on the other end.Upon hearing Zuko's voice, Jesse and Melissa felt more relieved, knowing that Lina was with him.Melissa said, on the verge of tears and laughter, "Lina, how have you been lately? I've had a bad feeling these days and felt anxious for no reason...""Mom, you should take care of your health." Lina spoke gently. "Don't overwork yourself, whether at home or in the store.

"Oh, it's nothing, really!" Melissa feigned nonchalance. "I was just concerned that it might be a waste of time for you to call me when you're busy with your studies now!""Mom...""It's important for you to focus on your studies now that you have good resources, you know?" Melissa advised. "Your father is taking care of the school procedures here, and you'll be transferred to Centrolis soon!""Even if I'm busy, it won't stop me from contacting you!" Lina had a strange feeling in her heart. "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"Melissa was taken aback but adamantly denied it.No matter how much Lina asked, her mother insisted that everything was fine and maintained a facade of normalcy.However, certain parts of Melissa's body were starting to ache faintly. Sweat coated the tip of her nose, and her face grew slightly pale.Jesse noticed and quickly interrupted, "Lina, focus on your own matters! Hehe... Your mom and I are playing poker together, so I'll be joining her for a fe

When Lina finished changing clothes, she walked out of the room hand in hand with Zuko. However, before leaving, she couldn't resist looking around.There stood Linda, motionless in that spot.Lina observed her thin figure, hunched over like an old lady as if a gust of wind could make her collapse. The anticipation in her eyes had faded, replaced by a sense of emptiness.An indescribable sadness filled Lina's heart.Linda and Nicholas were two unfamiliar names to her, but they were the two closest people to her in this world.Taking a deep breath, Lina lowered her gaze and remained silent. Zuko understood her emotions and gently embraced her, kissing her forehead tenderly."Everything will be fine," he whispered. "It's not as difficult as it seems... They love you very much and have been searching for you for 20 years.""I know." Lina held his hand. Despite the tropical climate of Southeast Aciatic, her palms felt ice-cold."Zuko, I... I need time.""Mm, I understand." He look

Lina was taken aback. "What?""The brand manager of LC Skincare specifically retrieved the store surveillance footage," Carter explained. "The footage showed that two employees colluded and placed the fake face cream on the counter with markings on the packaging. The cream didn't sell until your classmate, Chapman, walked into the duty-free shop and specifically asked for it. That's when they sold it to her."And the substance in the face cream is actually a type of drug. It's added after being highly refined, causing a chemical reaction. Just a small amount is enough to make the skin ulcerate and never recover."Zuko furrowed his brow. "Uncle Carter, have you found out who those two people are?""Of course," Carter smiled. "Those two individuals were captured during the police operation to apprehend Justin."Zuko and Lina were both stunned."They... are Justin's henchmen?""That's correct.""So you mean..." Lina's expression changed slightly. "Gia not only has a connection wit

"Wait!" Lina's small hand pushed against Zuko's sturdy chest, her clever eyes blinking as she spoke softly. "Isn't His Majesty known for being hospitable? It doesn't make sense that we're given such a small room. Besides, the palace is so big—""His Majesty said there's only this room!" Zuko replied seriously. "Lina, it's not good to bother His Majesty over such a trivial matter…"He coughed lightly and smirked. "Let's make do with it tonight, okay?""But..." Before Lina could argue further, her lips were sealed by Zuko's eager kiss.It had been a long time since he had kissed her like this...Zuko held her tightly, content as if he had obtained the whole world. His hand gently traced along her delicate back, lightly resting on her soft nape as if caressing a kitten's neck. His other hand around her waist gradually gained a mind of its own.Lina's heart raced, feeling both confused and infatuated. She didn't know what to do next...Zuko began to take advantage of the situation,

"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...

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
