"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

"No! I won't let you harm my daughter!"You foolish woman! When Melvin had her impersonate Pamela, why didn't you let her take over the Thompsons' wealth? You missed such a great opportunity. You should just die!"No! It's all Melvin's fault. It has nothing to do with my daughter! You can't... I know, I know you've been wronged! You have grievances, but please don't let this hatred continue!"Renee was stunned.Suddenly, Kaitlyn rushed toward her, grabbing her shoulders and shaking her forcefully."Renee, run! Hurry and run!"Don't let that person hurt you... Run!"Renee did not have time to react. Kaitlyn pushed her aside and slammed her own head against the wall!-Lena's injuries had improved, and the time spent in the small village became a rare rainbow in her bleak life.Chris made a wooden rifle for her.Lena burst into laughter as she accepted it. "Do you think of me as a child?""A child's toy isn't as exquisite as this!" Chris quickly defended himself.Lena toyed

Chris followed Lena into the house. When he saw her locking herself in a room, he secretly went around outside and watched her through the window.He observed her holding the wooden rifle, unwilling to take her eyes off it. Then she took a piece of cloth and carefully wiped it, treating the rifle as a precious treasure.A warm feeling suddenly welled up in Chris' heart, and he smiled unconsciously.At that moment, his phone vibrated, and he hurriedly went away to answer the call.Zuko's deep voice came from the other end. "Professor Adam's in Centrolis. I've contacted him through Uncle Seth and Aunt Zennie, and we'll meet in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. I'll go with Lina… and the truth will likely be revealed soon."The day after tomorrow?" Chris found it a little late. "Why can't he speed things up and make it tomorrow since he's close to Aunt Zennie?""He has a patient tomorrow," Zuko explained. "Doesn't really have the time for us.""A patient?" Chris was surprised a

Renee bit her lip, her restless hands tugging at the corner of her clothes.Adam recommended several mental health treatment facilities to her, writing them down on a piece of paper, his gaze filled with compassion."This kind of illness can't be delayed," he said in a low voice. "The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to cure. For the sake of your mother and the safety of others, it's best to send her there as soon as possible."Renee took the note and bowed to the professor, thanking him softly.She then visited those places in person.They were all well-equipped hospitals, both public and private, with serene and clean environments. The nurses were diligent and responsible, so the places were suitable for treatment.However, Renee saw another side to these hospitals.Some patients appeared dazed, while others were frantic. As soon as she entered the corridors, she could hear constant cries and screams echoing back and forth.She knew that the nurses and caregivers there

Renee was already sobbing uncontrollably as she threw herself into her mother's embrace. Kaitlyn's hug was as warm as it used to be, and her hands caressed Renee's hair with the same gentleness."I'm sorry..." Kaitlyn said tearfully, "Mom didn't do that on purpose... I can't control myself."Renee looked at her, and they clung to each other for a long time.In the following days, Renee frequently visited Adam.In addition to preparing to send Kaitlyn to the mental health care facility, she also asked him some nursing-related questions. She had a vague idea in her mind—to personally take care of Kaitlyn."Ms. Thompson, you have to think it through." Adam frowned. "Patients like this need professional caregivers. Going there might only add troubles.""I won't...""It's not as simple as you think," Adam's deep blue eyes held a touch of sympathy and helplessness. "You might think you can stay composed, but when you witness your mother in pain from the treatments, you'll likely lose

Lina and Zuko couldn't believe what they heard: "dissociative personality disorder."Zuko was particularly shocked. When he was young, he used to play in Jim's study.Jim was a mystery writer who often wrote about split personality disorder. Back then, Zuko didn't really understand it, so Jim patiently explained."It's a mental disorder where a person sees themselves as different individuals, each with their own personalities, and they do things that don't make sense."Zuko had thought this only existed in stories. He never expected...His brows knitted as he remembered the night Albert kidnapped Janine. How could Albert have sneaked a gun into the heavily guarded Hamertons'? Later, they discovered there was a spy involved.Security footage showed a slim woman acting suspiciously at the event. She wore a hoodie and a hat, making identification difficult. At the time, they suspected it might be Kaitlyn due to her body shape, but they didn't want to jump to conclusions.They worri

"Lena…" He paused. "I don't want you to carry all this alone. I—"Before he could finish, Lena's voice of despair reached his ears. "I don't have a mother anymore, starting today."Chris was taken aback. "What?"Lena shut her eyes, tears streaming down.Later, Chris learned that this was the day Lena's mother was executed.Krystal, known as Madame Krys in the criminal world, was involved in human trafficking and had committed numerous crimes. Despite everything, she remained Lena's only mother in her eyes.Chris held her tightly, gently stroking her hair."I don't have a mother now," Lena whispered. "I really don't. I couldn't even see her one last time. She's gone now..."Chris deeply felt her pain. "Lena, even though you've lost your mother, you still have me."Lena snapped out of her trance, realizing Chris was holding her. She craved his embrace, his scent, the comfort of being near him...But fear surged within her, and she pushed him away, struggling to stand."No, I d

Zuko shared the same thought. Still, what kind of approach should they use to make Toph accept this?They were at a loss for a good solution and remained silent. It was then Zuko's phone rang. Cordelia's anxious voice sounded on the other end."Zuko, Toph just rushed out in a panic, saying... that Renee wants to break up with him! Contact your brother and find out what's going on!"Zuko hurriedly dialed Toph's number, but there was no answer, no matter how many times he called.Lina told him not to panic and called Renee.When Renee answered, her voice was trembling. "Lina, I... I just got home and found that my mom's missing!""What?!"Lina and Zuko had a bad feeling at that moment."Renee, listen to me." Lina calmed down and explained the situation, "We already know about your mother. Is it because of this that you broke up with Toph?""Lina...""Why are you being so foolish?" Lina sounded a bit anxious. "No matter what, we won't let you face this alone!"Renee remained si

"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
