"Zuko? Zuko!" Cordelia called Zuko a few times before he snapped out of his trance. Before he could speak, Zephyr gave his leg a light kick."What are you thinking about?" His father's deep and stern voice echoed. "Your mother's talking to you, and you dare to be distracted!?"Zuko shrank into himself and looked at his mother for help."Our son just came back. Stop nagging him!" Cordelia looked like she was scolding Zephyr, but she hooked her hand over his arm and smiled. "You can't always be so angry, or you'll get more wrinkles!"Zephyr smiled as well as he held a hand over Cordelia's gently.Zuko felt like he was redundant there."Dad, mom, uh, I—""You're not allowed to leave! Your mother isn't done!" Zephyr shot him another glare.Zuko sat still obediently."Zuko, I've discussed it with your father," Cordelia said softly. "Stay a few more days in Centrolis and take some time out to visit the Thompsons to take a look at Pammy.""What?"Zuko was bewildered but quickly und

The fourth floor was Zuko's "observatory deck".When he was young, he loved stargazing, so his father had built this observatory for him.A huge globe was in the center of the room, and a Hubble telescope stood by the window. This was Zuko's private sanctuary.He had sensitive and vulnerable phases during his adolescence too, and when he could not resolve his troubles, he would come to this observatory and entrust his worries to the distant stars.He once again stood in front of the telescope.He had heard that wormholes in space were real and could connect two distant points in time and space. In that case, could he travel through a wormhole and go back to the day when Pammy disappeared? He really wanted to see who had taken her away....It was the weekend. It was drizzling in Centrolis, while Jangasas enjoyed clear skies.Lina stretched lazily, wearing a simple T-shirt and wide-leg pants, as she went downstairs to help Melissa prepare breakfast.Melissa looked her up and do

Melissa had already seen through her daughter's thoughts. As someone who had gone through similar experiences, how could she not understand what the little girl was thinking at this time? But until everything settled and before Zeke was successfully trained, she could not let her daughter get too deeply involved."Alright, alright. Go and call your father and Dave for breakfast!" Melissa said, and Lina obeyed, looking a bit listless. Melissa smiled and whispered, "Since you're missing him so much, take some time to give him a call and ask when he'll be back! Asking him yourself is much more effective than us asking a hundred times.""Mom!" Lina felt a little embarrassed. "What are you saying? I don't miss him!""Alright, if you say so," Melissa said affectionately. "Anyway, I've taught you a way. Whether you do it or not is up to you!"Lina blushed and lowered her head, chuckling softly. Although she denied it verbally, her spirits noticeably lifted. She skipped away to call her fa

It was a clear and sunny weekend, but Zuko was not around, so time felt particularly slow for Lina.She sat at the entryway, feeling bored and absentmindedly nibbling on watermelon. The sound of a car horn broke the silence of the empty alley, its loud honk resonating crisply in the air.Lina was taken aback and quickly ran out to see.A striking red convertible sports car caught Lina's attention at the alley's entrance. Its sleek and dynamic body glistened under the sunlight, emanating a unique radiance.As the car came to a stop, the driver, a person with wavy hair resembling a celebrity, removed her sunglasses and greeted Lina with a beaming smile. "Ready to have some fun today? Hop in!"Lina's surprise and delight were evident as she exclaimed, almost screaming, "Gia? Is that really you?!"This version of Gia was completely different from the one she knew. Until last week, Gia had been a very low-key student, dressing modestly and carrying herself in a reserved manner. Then

"Lina, this bag matches you too!"You should try everything on. I'll wait for you here!"Upon saying that, Gia sat on the sofa in the center of the boutique, and immediately someone served her exquisite-looking pastries.Lina felt like she was dreaming. Several shop assistants followed behind her, each with their hands full and a smile on their faces that only appeared when they saw potential customers.Seeing Lina hesitate to enter the fitting room, Gia walked over and took her hand with a light smile. "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. My parents did come into some money!""What?""It's a few stocks they bought in their early years." Gia's gaze was evasive. "Somehow, they skyrocketed recently to the point where they both start questioning reality! Heh, it's like a windfall, isn't it?"Lina was half skeptical. She occasionally paid attention to the stock market news too. Although she did not understand it well, she could still read charts and trends. In her impression, the stock m

Gia hung up, her palms sweating. She collected herself and turned back to the store, where Lina had not come out yet. Gia pretended as if nothing had happened and softly asked, "Lina, are you done trying the clothes on?""This one's a bit big. I need a smaller size..."Gia immediately asked the store staff to find the right size."Lina, um... Why don't you go ahead and try it on? I... I need to use the restroom!"Lina agreed, and Gia quickly rushed out of the store, heading toward the cafe on the basement floor.The man was already seated in the far corner. Gia's legs trembled slightly as she forced herself to appear calm and sat down in front of him. The man handed her a card. With most of his face covered by a baseball cap, the slight curve of his lips sent shivers down her spine."The boss says you've done a good job. This is your reward.""Thank you...""Your next task is to keep Lina here and ensure she doesn't appear in Centrolis."Gia's heart skipped a beat. "But... I p

"This must be the eldest son of the Hamertons, right?"Melvin suddenly turned his gaze toward Zuko at the dining table.Zuko paused and looked back at him.It was worth mentioning that Melvin also belonged to the category who aged well. Despite reaching middle age, he did not show any sign of that. On the contrary, he looked even more energetic than a young man.He also looked good. He bore a striking resemblance to Nicholas, and anyone could tell at first glance that they were cousins from the same lineage.Zuko frowned and glanced at the nearby Pamela, feeling something was off."Zuko, Uncle Melvin's talking to you!" Cordelia reminded him in a low voice. "Since you call Nicholas' Uncle Nicholas', just call him Uncle Melvin."Zuko nodded slightly, politely acknowledging it.Melvin smiled and praised him. "The children of the Hamertons are all outstanding, truly exceptional!""Mr. Melvin, you're too kind." Cordelia chuckled. "My eldest son is great in every way, except he does

Nicholas put a hand on Melvin's shoulder and gave it a firm pat. "You have to be there by then! You hear?"Melvin quickly nodded and raised his glass, celebrating their supposedly deep family bond.Zuko glanced at Pammy beside him. It seemed like she had not spoken a word since sitting at the dining table. She kept her head down, poking at the food on her plate with her fork, her large eyes seemingly holding countless thoughts.…On the way back, Zuko remained silent. Cordelia and Zephyr also looked grim.The situation was too bizarre.The person who had kidnapped Pammy years ago was a distant relative of Nicholas, someone almost completely unrelated to him. He had just risked it to get some money. Now, the person who had brought Pammy back was Nicholas' cousin.Before Nicholas acquired his current wealth, none of his relatives had been willing to associate with him."Honey, I'm a little worried." Zephyr spoke softly. "That relative of Nicholas kidnapped Pammy for money back th

"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
