Chris held Lena's hand as they entered the hospital.

Zachary stayed nearby, hidden in a corner, silently observing. He had mixed feelings.

Character-wise, Lena resembled Krystal. They both had fiery tempers and seemed aloof on the surface but were genuinely passionate underneath.

On the other hand, Sasha was different. Despite her outwardly friendly demeanor and knack for making friends, she harbored a cold and ruthless interior. She would exploit anyone or anything to achieve her goals.

Zachary was in a dilemma. He felt sorry for Sasha because Krystal had been so engrossed in her business that she had neglected her daughter for years.

Over the years, Sasha and Zachary had come to rely on each other. Therefore, regardless of the magnitude of Sasha's wrongdoing, he was unwilling to punish her.

He let out a deep sigh and returned to Sasha. He recounted everything he had witnessed and heard that day and handed her a thick stack of photographs, the result of an investigation he had c

    Zachary squinted, his face filled with melancholy as helplessness washed over him.Sasha picked up a photograph of herself with Chris and placed it next to her pillow. She looked at Zachary, her smile radiating happiness. "One day, I'll make this man lie next to me for real!""Sasha!""You'll give me your blessing, won't you?" she asked.Zachary gazed at her for a moment, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed."You should give me your blessing if you treat me like your own daughter!" she pressed on.He sighed. "If you were truly my daughter, I'd never harm a hair on your head...""What?"His words were mumbled, making it hard for her to hear clearly. She looked at him, perplexed. Zachary walked over and affectionately patted her head, a reminiscent look in his eyes. At that moment, he recalled the time when Krystal had saved him many years ago.Krystal had also patted his head, wiping the blood from his forehead, and had asked with a mysterious smile, "Are you willing t

    Lena had never frightened Nala, but everyone around her claimed otherwise.Just like the time when she had never encountered Lina at the hospital before, yet Lina insisted she had seen her there.She couldn't help but suspect she might be experiencing memory loss or a mental illness, similar to what Renee's mother had gone through with her split personality, turning her into someone else."Sis? Sis!" Alexander shook her hand. "What's going on?""Oh, nothing." After snapping back to her senses, she patiently explained, "I have no idea what happened, but many strange things have been occurring lately."He looked at Chris, who gave him the same explanation.Alexander was shocked. After a long pause, he half-jokingly remarked, "Sis, could there be another you in this world?""What are you suggesting?""How else can you explain this?"Lena was perplexed, and her concern deepened after hearing his words.Should she consult a psychiatrist?"Hey, sis!" Alexander's voice interrupted

    Chris was stunned. His instincts as a special forces soldier kicked in, keeping him on high alert as a stranger approached. Instinctively, he pulled Lena back.The moment his gaze locked onto Zachary, the piercing intensity of their eye contact sent a jolt through Zachary's heart."May I know who this is?" Zachary asked.Lena introduced them with a warm smile, "He's my boyfriend, sir. Chris, this is the man I ran into the other day."Zachary spoke with a friendly smile before Chris could respond. "Your boyfriend is quite good-looking, miss. You two make a great couple."Chris, ever the gentleman, inquired, "Can we help you, sir?"Zachary hesitated for a moment before replying, "Oh… Young man, c-could you help me carry my bags upstairs?"Lena nodded in agreement with Zachary's request. Being a soldier trained in proper manners, Chris couldn't refuse a request from an elderly man. "Sure, sir. Where are your bags?"Zachary pointed to the trunk of a taxi nearby, which held only a s

    Zachary said, "Miss, you haven't told me your name." "My name's Lena.""Lena," he muttered, abruptly halting his stride.Lena was taken aback. When she turned her gaze toward him, she immediately noticed that the kindly gentleman's countenance had changed.His eyes were now as cold and piercing as ice in the darkness.Before she could react, he swiftly produced a handkerchief he had prepared earlier and covered her mouth and nose."Mmph!" She instinctively resisted. Usually, she could easily overpower an elderly man like him, but she felt strangely feeble at that moment. Her eyelids grew heavy, and soon, her consciousness blurred. She began to slump, leaning on Zachary for support.He stood there motionless, only crouching down beside her after a prolonged pause. He finally dialed a number on his phone, confirming her unconscious state."Sasha... It's me. Come to the hospital right away and change into her clothes."-Chris had been waiting impatiently after delivering the b

    "Lena," Chris said as he gazed at her. "What's on your mind?"Sasha snapped back to reality and instinctively tugged her sleeve down to hide the black butterfly tattoo on her wrist."I-I'd like to go for a walk." She smiled. "Chris, could we head to the shopping mall?"Chris was taken aback. Lena seemed entirely different today.Usually content, Lena wasn't into shopping or splurging on clothes or cosmetics. Fun activities that most girls enjoyed didn't seem to interest her.She had never suggested a trip to the shopping mall before!Chris felt a sense of reluctance but studied her closely. She was still Lena, yet somehow not quite herself."What's bothering you, Chris?" Sasha tried to mimic Lena, even moving closer as if to hold his hand. "Don't you want to take me there?""Of course." He smiled but discreetly withdrew his hand. "Let's go."He led her to DL Mall. Sasha was awestruck by the elegant decor, with well-trained staff greeting them upon arrival and even the manager

    Sasha was stunned.Chris astutely noticed the doubt and panic that flickered across her eyes. His brow furrowed. 'Did she not understand our "old rules"?'These were the little things they did for each other. He would trim her bangs when they got too long, and she would shave his mustache.Chris mustered a smile. "Have you forgotten about our old rules?"She appeared flustered, scanning her surroundings."Lena! What's bothering you today?""Oh, Chris!" She swiftly changed the subject. "Look at that store. They have such lovely clothes!""Lena—""Let's go. Come on, let's check it out!" She playfully nudged him toward the store. "Buy me a dress. I adore wearing dresses!"Chris wandered through the entire mall, being gently pushed by her. After buying one dress, her shopping enthusiasm appeared to have been unleashed. He trailed behind her with numerous shopping bags, willing to purchase whatever she set her eyes on.Chris had spent a considerable sum within two hours—he had n

    "What?" Zachary was alarmed. "Chris wants you to stay under the same roof?""Yes!" He squinted, realizing it was a terrible idea. "Sasha, don't go with him!""What's wrong?" She took a limited edition dress from the shopping bag, put it on, and smiled with satisfaction. "Do you know how much this dress costs, Zachary? I saw it in Southeast Aciatic. The designer only makes clothes for royalty there. But here, he bought it for me without hesitation!"Zachary was growing increasingly worried about her.Sasha wasn't manipulative—she displayed her greed and superficiality openly.She was easily swayed by material possessions, just as she had been when they were in Southeast Aciatic. She had squandered all the assets Krystal had worked hard for simply for the favor of some gangsters.He sighed.This was the girl he had spoiled, treating her as his own and hoping to protect her from suffering and bullying. He had created a beautiful bubble for her to live in, shielding her from the h

    Zachary stared at Sasha with disappointment.After a brief silence, he angrily exclaimed, "I've helped you with Chris, and I even went to the trouble of capturing Lena for you. I feel sorry for your mom! Do you want me to teach you how to flirt, too?!"With those words, he stormed off, leaving a bewildered Sasha behind.Sasha seethed with anger. She contemplated throwing her dress on the floor but halted midway through raising her arms, choosing instead to toss it onto the couch in frustration.-Rather than dwelling on Zachary's words, Sasha decided to take matters into her own hands. She called Chris, using the excuse of wanting to spend more time with Nala, and informed him that she wouldn't be returning to their apartment that night.After a brief pause, Chris replied, "Hmm, tell Nala I said hi. Make sure to get some rest, too.""I will," Sasha said.Before ending the call, Chris added, "Oh, Lena, join us for dinner at my family's house tomorrow. It's been a while since my

    "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
