Rowan was taken aback. ‘Did Zephyr lose his memory? He does not look like it, judging by how he was all over Cordelia earlier.’

He smiled at Cordelia. “Who has amnesia?”

“It’s my friend…” Cordelia contemplated and said, “To be precise, it’s not exactly a friend. It’s someone my friend likes.

“She’s the Tanners’ other heiress, Kelly Tanner.”

“Oh?” Rowan creased his brows.

This was heated news previously, and he had heard about it but just did not care enough. He did not care about anything that had nothing to do with Cordelia—what was more, this was the Tanners. Nelly Tanner already repulsed him!

He advised, “Cordelia, why are you close to the Tanners? It’s their business whether they have another daughter. Why would you be concerned?”

“I’m not close to them. It’s that… this Ms. Kelly is really someone my friend likes. I want to help them!”

Cordelia’s voice was sweet. “Uncle Irwin, the Tanners aren’t that bad. Mrs. Tanner is reasonable and clear with what and who she likes and h

    “Of course I should thank you properly for resolving such a big problem for me!“Here, this is for you!”Nelly pulled out a ticket with a smile.Mona widened her eyes when she saw what it was through the dim lighting.“This… This is Sol Entertainment’s grand event?”“Exactly!” Nelly was triumphant.Mona’s hands shook in thrill. Sol Entertainment was holding its grand event for the first time, but it had been publicized greatly before this, promoted as the grandest event in showbiz.Whoever got to ride on this would have a bright future ahead.“Nelly, you’re awesome! How did you get it?” Mona gave her a hug. “Are you really giving me this ticket?”“I’m not in showbiz, so there’s no need for me to keep it.” Nelly smiled. “Suitable things should go to suitable people!“It’s said that Nicholas will be there too…” Nelly looked at Mona with a thoughtful look. “You know what to do, right?”Once she thought of Linda’s pregnant belly, she was upset.A pregnant woman’s bad mood would

    “I…” Nicholas looked troubled and hesitant.Zephyr gave him a harsh pat. “How am I supposed to help you if you’re not honest with me!?”After a stretched moment of silence, Nicholas said softly, “I’ve only met Mona a few times, and she’s always pestering me. I don’t know how she got into this grand event, and I got weak after drinking a glass of drink she passed me.”Zephyr rolled his eyes several times, unable to believe how gullible Nicholas was.“I was just weak!” Nicholas raised his voice in explaining, “Not unconscious, you know?“So how would I not know if I’ve done it or not?“Besides, there’s another reason…” His voice went low again as he spoke slower. “After I drink, I… I can’t…”“What?” Zephyr was shocked.Nicholas pursed his lips and glared at him.This had been a secret of his that he had never told anyone. He was usually fine, but a drop of alcohol, and he could not get anything up.Zephyr frowned, not knowing what to say.Nicholas stood leaning against the wal

    Nicholas picked up his phone and said coldly. “Bring that Mona to me!”…When Nicholas’ men found her, she was recording an entertainment show.She made all kinds of silly poses in front of the camera. Apart from the pretentious screams, she could not do anything else. She could not even memorize the script.The directors frowned and looked at each other helplessly.“That’s all for now!” Finally, one of them could no longer take it and asked to cut the recording. Her agent went to her quickly to powder her face.However, when she was having her lipstick reapplied, a force pulled her. A mark from the lipstick was dragged on her face.“What’s this?” She panicked. “Who are you? What are you doing!?”The scene was chaotic.The few men in black were expressionless. They grabbed Mona on each side and dragged her out.“Ah, help me—” She shrieked with all that she could. “Where are you from? Are you kidnapping me in broad daylight!?”One of the men said coldly, “Ms. Adams, N asked y

    Mona was tossed into a dark and cold room.She was crawling all over the floor when she suddenly touched a leather shoe. The chilliness scared her, and she screamed.The light in the room was turned on. It was glaringly bright.Only then did she see what was around her.Nicholas sat in the middle. His expressionless muscular underlings surrounded him.Meanwhile, Nicholas was like the Devil that walked out of hell. The killing intent in his eyes was so scary that nobody dared to look straight at him.Mona was dumbstruck. She could not say a word.He was playing with a dagger in his hand while revealing a cunning grin at the corner of his lips. “Ms. Adams, I guess you haven’t heard… My wife had a miscarriage!”Mona was shaking, her face pale.“What exactly happened that night? Are you not going to tell me the truth?”“Mr. Thompson, I…”She was stuttering. She could not say anything.Nicholas handed the dagger to Ian. He lifted it and cut her face directly!“Ahh—”The woman’

    Nicholas stood up and took out his gun. He then walked to the door in big steps.…When Rowan walked out of Kelly’s ward, he nodded at Mandy, who had been waiting at the door to show his respect.“Mr. Irwin.” Her eyes were red as she bowed respectfully. “Thank you for being willing to save my daughter! I’ll remember what you’ve done for us forever!”Rowan waved.“You’re too kind, Mrs. Tanner. Doctors are just like the patients’ parents. How can we watch the patients suffer without saving them?”“Do you think there’s still hope for her, Mr. Irwin?”Rowan thought for a moment and said, “She has been treated the traditional way. To me, although congenital diseases are hard to treat, she will survive.”Mandy’s eyes lit up. “Really?”Rowan nodded, “Holistic healing will show better results. Given the many traditional holistic methods in Southeast Aciatic, even if they’re old wives' remedies, they can work at critical times, depending on how one applies them.”He took out two bottl

    “That’s just terrible!” Joe had a grim face. “Who are you calling an outsider? Nelly has been our daughter for over 20 years, no matter what. How is she an outsider now!?”“She’s an outsider, alright!” Mandy was worked up and screamed, “Kelly is our daughter. It’s that b*tch who hurt her!”“Mandy!” Joe raised his voice. “Don’t spew nonsense when you don’t have evidence! You’re the one who imagined Nelly hurting her!”“No!” She glared at him. “Nelly insisted on going to the doctor with me that day. She had ill intentions. She wanted to hurt Kelly when I walked away! Otherwise, how would she be abducted when I left the ward? How could it be such a coincidence?”Joe sighed. Eventually, he said, “You’re ridiculous!“I’ve made up my mind,” he said coldly. “Kelly is ill. Now that she has lost her memory, it’s impossible for her to get married or take over the business… So, let Nelly do it!”Mandy’s mind went blank. It felt as if something heavy had fallen from the sky and hit her head.

    Nelly glanced at Joe instinctively before turning her face to look at Mandy. She called out softly, “Mom.”However, it was not the usual respectful and fawning way of calling her. There was disdain and mockery on her face.Mandy felt a squeeze in her heart.“Ah, what happened to your face, dad?” shouted Nelly.Joe waved his hand to signal that it was nothing. However, she kept screaming and was going to get the first-aid kid.Mandy frowned while watching in silence.‘The two of them look like father and daughter by blood…‘Father and daughter by blood!?’Her eyes dimmed as that thought flashed by her head quickly.“Mom, how could you hit dad?” Nelly questioned her. “Why can’t you guys talk? Why must you use violence!?”“What makes you think you can control what I do, b*tch?”“You…” Nelly glared at her. A gloating smile appeared at the corner of her lips a moment later.“Mom, are you mad that dad is giving me his company, so you hit him?”Mandy’s face was cold, and she said

    Cordelia spent these days accompanying Linda.It had a serious impact on Linda’s health, and she was to have bed rest. She was usually sleeping and would rest against the headboard when she was awake, staring outside the window without saying anything. Her pale and weak state saddened one who looked.Cordelia passed her chicken soup that was freshly made.“Linda…” She sobbed a little as soon as she opened her mouth. “Have a little chicken soup. It tastes nice. I added some dates to make it nourishing and sweet.”There was no response from Linda. Her lips were cracked from how dry they were.Cordelia could understand what she was feeling.Her baby had already been formed, but it did not even get to greet the world. It was said that it was a boy too. Nicholas liked boys.Cordelia had also promised her that their children would marry each other in the future so they would become in-laws.Everything had become a burst bubble now.Cordelia’s phone rang.

    "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
