"Lena! You just recovered from a serious injury. Who do you think you can protect? Can you protect anyone?" Chris's frustration grew.He recalled how he had urgently rescued her from near-death, covered her medical and living costs, arranged a place for her to recover, and even transformed into a home chef, making various dishes every day. He had treated her like royalty...Yet, what about her? She appeared entirely unappreciative!He had nurtured her back to health so she could endanger herself once more for someone else?Chris erupted in anger, exclaiming, "You've barely healed from your wounds. Can't you look after yourself?"The car fell into silence. The driver braked, glancing at the normally composed Hamerton heir through the rearview mirror, perplexed by his sudden outburst.Lina gently nudged Lena, signaling her to move to the back.Lena remained unmoved.The incensed Chris was not finished. He turned to Zuko and shouted, "You're responsible for your wife's safety!"Z

Kaitlyn suddenly felt a splitting headache. Her face twisted, and she crouched down, clutching her head and trembling all over.When she stood up again, the affectionate gaze she had for Renee was finally back!"Renee..." She scanned the area, her lips quivering. "Pammy, Zuko, you're all here!""Aunt Kaitlyn!" Lina exclaimed with joy."I'm sorry, so sorry..." Kaitlyn knelt, hands pressed together, repeatedly apologizing, "I... caused you trouble... I don't know what I was doing. I...""Aunt Kaitlyn, it's an illness." Zuko sighed gently.Honestly, seeing his little brother injured hurt him deeply. He wished he could confront the person who had harmed his brother!But Kaitlyn was unwell and couldn't be reasoned with."Aunt Kaitlyn, come back with us now. If you agree to treatment, you'll recover.""Yes, return with me!" Renee urged, reaching for her mother's hand. As she moved closer, she assured, "Mom, I found a great rehab center with skilled doctors and top-notch equipment. Y

Renee had a long dream, taking her back to her childhood. There, she saw the sun setting and her mother waiting at the street corner. Their days together, while simple, overflowed with happiness.As Renee's consciousness slowly returned, she was hesitant to open her eyes. She longed to return to that dream and those carefree days.A teardrop moistened her eyelashes, rolling from her eye's corner.-Kaitlyn had left this world, leaving Renee an orphan. After the funeral, Nicholas and Linda brought her back home, treating her like their own daughter.Cordelia and Zephyr visited often. Even Toph, still recovering, hobbled over on crutches to be by her side, his cheery disposition brightening her somber life like the sun.Strangely, the more they did, the sadder Renee became. If only she had decided earlier and sent her mother to get treated—maybe these events wouldn't have unfolded.One evening, Lena noticed Renee barely ate. After a pause, she chose to make soup and offer it.Jus

Lena furrowed her brow."I don't think so," Chris said, looking into her eyes seriously. "You're not that type of person, Lena. Don't misunderstand me. I have no bias against homosexuality, but I just don't feel that's you. You're into guys!"Lena gave him a sharp look, and the blush that had just faded returned to her cheeks."I'm right, aren't I?" Chris leaned in. "You're into guys, and maybe someone like me, right?""You..."Lena felt a mix of irritation and amusement. Given his naive expression, she wished she could give him a wake-up slap.She looked seriously into his eyes. "Chris, when did I ever say I'm attracted to women?""You mentioned it once, about liking Pammy...""Are human emotions that one-dimensional? Can't I appreciate her for other reasons? I see her like a sister. Does it have to be romantic?"Chris paused, struggling for a moment.Lena stood up with a trace of amusement in her eyes. She wasn't going to let him off the hook easily. "Done eating?""Um..."

"Uh... honey." Zuko wrapped his arms around Linar from behind, burying his face in her neck and taking a deep breath. His voice was husky as he asked, "Shouldn't we... fulfill the elderly's wishes?"Lina put down her documents and turned around to caress his face with a smile. "I'm not against that. Didn't we agree to let things happen naturally?"Zuko felt her flat stomach. "But, it's been so long without any news. Is it because I haven't worked hard enough?""You..." Lina pushed him away.Not enough? He was clearly quite diligent! How many times had he claimed his allowance this month?The Hamertons' rule was 70 dollars, but he had made tens of times that!"Honey!" Zuko continued to cling to her and whined.Lina cradled his face and reasoned with him. "Zuko, I really don't have the time or mood today! Besides having a lot of work to do, I also need to check on Renee."Speaking of Renee, Zuko thought of Toph and turned serious. "By the way, it seems like she's avoiding even To

Lina smiled and gently kissed Zuko on the lips.It was destined to be another restless night tonight.-The next day, Lina set up a meeting with Lena at the company.Lena was cautious, not using the main entrance but a side door and a dedicated elevator to get to Lina's office."You don't need to be so careful," Lina said, pouring her some tea with a smile. "Since you'll be working here soon, you'll come in daily through the main entrance.""What?" Lena looked surprised, meeting Lina's gaze.Lina handed over documents related to the sales department. "The project I've been handling is almost done. Now, the main focus is selling these properties."Lena glanced at the documents and turned to Lina, clearly surprised. "You... want me to help sell houses?""Why not?" Lina smiled, gently holding Lena's hand. "I've considered it. You're still young. You shouldn't always be at home or looking after me. You should have your own world."Lena quickly responded. "If you think staying wit

Lena breathed deeply, her heart racing, her mind a mess of thoughts that suddenly went blank. Despite her late-night effort to study the sales department's materials in the past few days, it all seemed to vanish from her memory.Jade Neale walked by the front desk and ushered Lena into her office with a smile.Lena followed with a blank expression. As she moved from the front desk to the office, she seemed to be the subject of whispers and pointing."Pay no attention to them," Jade chuckled, handing Lena a cup of coffee.She then lowered the blinds in the office. "The sales department is as big as the marketing department, both being the company's largest departments. With so many people, there's always talk. Just ignore whatever they're saying about you."Lena nodded, looking up to assess Jade.Jade, the sales team leader, was a friendly middle-aged woman. She had a confident presence that wasn't overpowering and an easygoing personality.Lina had asked Jade to bring Lena in di

"There's none!" The one who disclosed the information smiled. "Said she's a distant niece of a friend of a friend of Ms. Thompson's. Well, you can barely call that a connection, basically!"Lena stood at the doorway, and her lips pursed lightly.She knew Lina had said that to protect her, to keep her low-key so she would not become a target the moment she stepped into the workplace. Staying discreet would also give her more time to focus on studying and learning so she could make a remarkable debut in the future.It was just that people often tended to put those in power on a pedestal or belittle ones deemed to have no value, especially the hypocritical individuals in the sales department.If one had a background, they would be respectful and polite but also backstab them—just like Jacquelin.Rumor had it that she was the trusted aide of a high-ranking executive on the board. Although she seemed arrogant and people were nice to her superficially, she was the go-to source for a few

"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
