Renee dialed the number, and a hoarse male voice came from the other end. "Kaitlyn, we didn't mean it. That stubborn girl is just too hard to handle! She's really tough!"But no worries. Despite Lena's capabilities, she's trapped right now... There are dangerous snakes and fierce beasts in that forest. She won't make it!"Renee held her hand over her mouth, almost stopping herself from screaming.At that moment, Kaitlyn's voice called from the living room. "Renee! Renee? What are you doing?"Renee almost fell off her chair but managed to note down the number. Sneaking into Kaitlyn's room as she passed, she placed the phone back, then casually went downstairs to the living room.Her heart raced well into the night.Kaitlyn had forbidden her from leaving the house or using her phone, except for Toph's calls. No one else was permitted to get in touch.Renee had grown to dislike this stifling life.After confirming Kaitlyn was asleep that night, she turned on her computer to trace t

Lena felt like her body was being torn apart, the pain similar to roasting over a fire. Maybe this was how hell felt...A bit of consciousness remained. She knew she leaned on a strong chest, feeling safe. A steady heartbeat echoed, too.In her daze, she smiled faintly. She wanted to rest, yet a voice kept echoing."Lena, don't sleep! Don't you dare sleep!""Mom..." she mumbled."Lena!"Suddenly, a sense of warmth spread through her heart.She had not experienced much warmth throughout her life, let alone someone being so concerned about her.When Lina argued with the shop owner and forced him to give her money, she had felt contented.Now... where was this voice coming from?"Lena, we're almost there!" Chris placed her in the car's back seat, speeding all the way. "We're almost at the hospital. Hold on!""I don't want to hold on anymore..." Lena weakly managed to say.Lena was utterly exhausted. All she yearned for was a serene slumber.In her dreams, her mother wouldn't

Lena felt like she was trapped in a nightmarish place, surrounded by horrible creatures that seemed to be tearing at her body. The pain was excruciating, and she wanted to scream, but her voice felt stifled.After what seemed like an eternity, she sensed a faint coolness, and she managed to move her lips, finally mustering a few words. "Water... Water..."Then, someone dampened a cotton swab with water and gently touched it to her lips. It brought relief, and her intense feelings of agitation and anxiety began to ease. She struggled to open her eyes."You're awake?" A familiar voice reached her.Lena's heart raced. Her awareness gradually returned, and her surroundings started becoming clearer. "It's... you?"The man before her appeared somewhat different from the Chris she knew. Her image of Chris was that of a charming and honest person with a strong, rugged face projecting a tough and sturdy demeanor.But now, his eye sockets looked hollow, dark circles ringed his eyes, and hi

Lena's wounds were getting better each day, and her body was slowly returning to normal.The small village was peaceful and quiet, almost like it was cut off from the rest of the world. Even though it was close to Centrolis, it didn't have the busy feel of a big city.Lena liked the vibe there. She would often sit in the yard, looking at the flowers growing freely, taking deep breaths, and listening to birds singing.At meal times, Chris would come to get her. The first time Lena saw the fancy meal Chris had made—four dishes and soup—her calm expression turned into one of amazement."How is it?" Chris, who still had on an apron, proudly showed her the dishes. "Try it. It's going to make your taste buds dance!""How did you learn to cook like this? I thought..." "Thought I'd blow up the kitchen like those two spoiled heirs?" Chris chuckled.He had shredded the potatoes that way back in the Thompsons the last time just to preserve Zuko's pride."When I first joined the military,

Lena looked at him, then quickly finished her salad in large bites.Even though it was time to wash the dishes, Chris remained deep in thought. The water ran loudly, yet he just stood by the sink, his hands in the cold water. He was motionless like a puppet.Lena came over and turned off the tap, scolding him lightly, "Do you think the water bill is cheap?"Startled, Chris seemed to snap back to reality. When he looked at her, she was already moving away with her crutch, not seeming to care.Chris felt a bit sad. He had never really opened up to anyone before, except Lena now. He hadn't expected...But if one liked someone, they should accept everything about them.Chris sighed, grabbed a sponge, and kept washing the dishes. He cleaned the kitchen and cut some fresh fruit for Lena.That was when Zuko called.Upon seeing Zuko's name on his phone, Chris' frustration shifted to him. He answered, sounding annoyed, "Hello."There was a pause on Zuko's side, probably finding this at

Chris was surprised. They had been staying in this village for almost a month, letting Lena regain her health.Lena was pretty healthy to start with. While she hadn't fully recovered, she didn't need his constant help anymore. He understood why she wanted to go back to Centrolis.She wasn't one to ignore things. She would want to investigate thoroughly because she thought Kaitlyn was planning something. Plus, Kaitlyn might be a danger to the Thompsons. The Thompsons and Lina were like sensitive points for her. Anyone who tried to harm them would suffer serious consequences.Chris felt a pang of bitterness. Suddenly, he recalled a question—"Have you ever risked your life for someone?"This question could not be more appropriate for Lena.He looked at her from the side, his sharp eyes revealing a mix of complex feelings like resentment, sorrow, dissatisfaction, and jealousy.Lena felt tense as he observed her. She had just mentioned returning to Centrolis, so why was his behavior

"Okay, I understand," Lina said softly, "Keep following her. If anything unusual happens, inform us immediately.""Understood. About this... Should Ms. Renee be informed?"Lina had kept these people silent from the beginning of the investigation, fearing it might strain their relationship.The leader appeared troubled. "Ms. Thompson, um... Ms. Renee has spotted us. We encountered her following Kaitlyn as we tracked her..."Zuko replied seriously, "You must ensure her safety. If Kaitlyn is genuinely a threat, she might target her own daughter without hesitation.""Yes!"With a bow, the men left the room, leaving only Zuko and Lina.Both of them carried heavy concerns and worries."Zuko, I have something to tell you.""Same here, I want to discuss something too." Zuko smiled at her. "Is it about Kaitlyn?""Yes.""Then let's say it together.""I suspect..." Lina's eyebrows knitted a bit.In unison, they uttered, "She's not Kaitlyn!"After speaking, they gazed into each other

"S-She is..."Kaitlyn locked eyes with Renee, her gaze revealing an indescribable mix of pain and distress."Mom, don't be afraid." Renee rushed to embrace her mother, feeling the familiar softness of Kaitlyn's hand.But then Renee pulled back, studying Kaitlyn. There was no change—even the white hair by her temples remained the same."Renee, you are in danger. Run, quickly!""Mom?"Kaitlyn's smile remained, but her eyes turned frigid as if she had transformed into someone else. She stared at Renee with a sinister grin, her voice chilling. "Renee, what's the matter?"Renee let go suddenly, retreating several steps."Talk!" Kaitlyn closed in slowly. "So, did you follow me to find this place?""Mom, I..." An icy shiver shot down Renee's spine, her skin prickling with goosebumps. "I was just worried. You hadn't taken your medicine today, so I thought..."Kaitlyn's lips twitched briefly before she resumed her smile. "Ah, I understand.""Mom, when did you get this house? How come

"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
