"Because you helped me escape from Benjamin Winston's house," Dean paused for a moment, his voice tinged with guilt, "and because of me, you got hurt..."

Dr. Parker's expression froze for a moment before he broke into a light smile. "Oh, so you do remember that I was hit. Now, tell me, do you remember who hit me?"

Dean tried to focus, his brow furrowing once more as he searched his memory. He raised a hand to rub his temple. "It’s... the one who trapped me. But who he is, I..." Before he could finish, he suddenly clutched his head, his face contorting with a flash of pain.

Dr. Parker quickly placed a hand on his shoulder. "Alright, alright, don’t push it. Don’t force yourself." He paused for a moment, then spoke gently, "Let me tell you, that person was one of the ones you've forgotten—Shawn Hansley. If you can’t remember him now, it’s perfectly normal."

Dean lowered his eyes, his voice soft. "I’m sorry, Dr. Parker..."

Dr. Parker chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "Stop apologizing a

    The sky was overcast, with gray clouds hanging low, as if adding a somber weight to this sorrowful day. A fine mist of rain fell gently, blurring the distant outlines of the mountains and settling upon the newly laid grass. The funeral procession stood quietly around the grave, each face etched with grief. Black umbrellas bloomed like a sea of darkness beneath the drizzling rain. The coffin was slowly lowered into the earth, and those dressed in somber black bowed their heads in silent prayer.The officiant's voice was soft and mournful, resonating in the stillness of the cemetery as he spoke of Noah Leslie's brief but illustrious life. His name had once been a legend in the business world, a self-made man who built a vast empire from the ground up. Yet today, the man who had once stood invincible now lay quietly in the coffin, a mere part of the past.Noah’s spirit stood silently to the side, watching it all unfold. He saw his wife, Kate Leslie, overcome with grief, her eyes swollen

    He struggled, reaching out, desperate to hold onto something—anything—but his hands grasped only air, futilely waving in the emptiness. A cold, creeping chill began to crawl up his spine, sending shivers of dread through his body. His consciousness grew foggy, as though a thick mist was slowly clouding his thoughts, making it harder and harder to focus. The only sensation that remained sharp was a deep, gnawing fear, as if an endless abyss was drawing near, a chasm with no way out.As the darkness spread around him, Noah felt his mind begin to unravel. His limbs grew heavy, as though weighed down by invisible chains, his body sinking into an endless mire where movement was impossible. He could feel the crushing force of something far greater than himself, a relentless tide pushing him toward an unknown, bottomless void. Fear gripped him like a serpent, coiling tighter with every passing second, deepening his sense of helpless despair.Just as his consciousness seemed to slip into the

    Noah began to outline the things he needed to learn and understand: Dean’s job responsibilities, the workings of the law firm, the background of his colleagues and superiors. He also jotted down personal matters to address, like managing relationships with family and friends and finding a balance between work and life. When he finished, he felt a slight sense of calm. Closing the notebook, he picked up his coffee and savored it slowly. The bittersweet flavor grounded him, a tangible reminder that this was no dream but a new reality he had to face head-on. Returning to the apartment, Noah once again examined Dean’s records, repeatedly reviewing his educational background, work experience, and social connections. He discovered that Dean was incredibly disciplined and hardworking, excelling academically throughout his life. In university, Dean had earned multiple scholarships and honors, and his involvement in legal projects had already given him a foothold in the field. Despite his yo

    “Leroy Tam, 28 years old, heir to the family business. He’s led a life of luxury since childhood, and his personality is... flamboyant, to say the least. While he has some significant business talent, it’s made him somewhat arrogant. To him, business ethics and the law are often things he can overlook.” As Dean listened to Linda’s introduction, an impression of Leroy Tam gradually began to take shape in his mind. He had already sensed that Leroy was more than just a wealthy playboy—he was a deeply self-centered individual when it came to handling problems. Linda continued, “He’s incredibly selfish, and he often lacks genuine concern for his employees and business partners. Especially in this case, considering how he dared to use questionable, even illegal methods to provoke the mafia—you can imagine just how difficult he must be to deal with.”Dean’s heart gave a slight jolt, and he gained a clearer understanding of Leroy’s character. He began to worry that such a person might create

    Dean was trapped in the corner, his stomach churning at the words coming from Leroy Tam. He forced himself to stay calm, resisting the wave of disgust threatening to overwhelm him. Trying to turn his body slightly, he sought to distance himself from Leroy Tam’s unnerving proximity. "Mr. Tam," he said with forced composure, "Please show some respect. I’m not interested in discussing anything else right now. If you’d like to continue the conversation about the case, I can inform Linda, and we can return to the client meeting room."But Leroy Tam had no intention of backing down. His hand reached for Dean’s waist, fingers grazing lightly, intent on brushing across his back. Even as Dean tried to evade the touch, Leroy Tam didn’t pull away—instead, he grew bolder, his fingers skimming over Dean’s sides, each movement more unsettling than the last. Dean felt revulsion rising within him but fought to suppress his emotions, striving to stay composed."You really are the type who can only att

    Dean's heart sank. He knew that this was no longer just a personal attack—it was a direct threat to his entire career.Linda continued, her tone somber yet resolute. "The stance from the higher-ups is clear: they’re unwilling to pay any compensation. That means if Leroy Tam insists on his demands, we could be facing an even bigger predicament."Dean felt the weight of the situation press down on him. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. He understood the gravity of being forced to resign—it would not only tarnish his reputation but could severely hinder his future career prospects in the legal world.Linda noticed the worry in Dean’s eyes and, with a quiet determination, said, "I believe in you, Dean. I know you didn’t fabricate any evidence. You’re an honest and dedicated lawyer. Our task now is to find a way to prove that Leroy Tam's accusations are baseless."Dean’s eyes briefly softened with gratitude. He quietly replied, "Thank you, Linda. I know you’ve done so much f

    Damon took a slow sip from his wine, completely unfazed. His posture was relaxed, but there was an underlying tension in the way he held himself. He looked at Dean with a sharp intensity. "If you refuse my offer, then what's in it for me to help you?" His gaze pierced through Dean, exuding an almost predatory confidence. It was as if he had anticipated this very moment, already knowing the exact response he would get. His words hung in the air like a challenge, unspoken yet clearly present: You want my help? Then pay the price. Dean gritted his teeth, feeling vaguely uneasy in his mind, but calmly asked, “What do you want?” He didn't like Damon's ambiguous attitude, yet he knew he had no choice at this moment. The prerequisite for going toe-to-toe with Leroy Tam was that he had to get Damon on his side. Damon revealed a wry smile, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous and ambiguous. He whispered, “Sleep with you.” These three words just slipped out so easily, without a care in the

    Dean’s fingers clenched involuntarily, his knuckles turning white with the force of his grip. He could feel his pulse pounding in his temples, the urge to lash out nearly overwhelming. But he forced himself to take a deep breath, to swallow the searing frustration that threatened to explode. He held Damon’s gaze, his voice a low rasp, barely able to keep his composure as he squeezed the words out from between clenched teeth, the same line as before: "Is there any other way?"Damon’s smile deepened, a mischievous glint sparking in his eyes as he leaned into the game with even more audacity. “Oh, there’s another way—sleep with you, three times,” he said, his tone dripping with mockery. His gaze locked onto Dean’s with unflinching boldness, treating the negotiation as though it were a theatrical performance crafted for his amusement. In Damon’s playful yet piercing eyes, Dean could see his own rising frustration reflected, twisting into an unbearable sense of futility.Dean clenched his

    The moment those words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the room froze. Leo slapped his forehead, his face twisted in disbelief as he muttered under his breath, "Oh my God."Ted, standing by the door, had gone from relaxed to serious in a matter of moments. He took a few steps forward, his gaze fixed on Dean, his voice laced with a hint of uncertainty. "Dean, no way. You didn't forget about my boss, did you?"Dean turned his gaze toward Ted, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Ted... he's your boss?"Shawn froze at the side, his lips trembling slightly, yet unsure of what to say. Leo's eyes widened, his expression one of utter disbelief as if the situation before him made no sense. Meanwhile, Chen and Damon wore expressions of mixed emotions—disappointment intertwined with a glimmer of hope.The room fell into an eerie silence, broken only by the steady beeping of the machines, their rhythmic sounds echoing through the air. It was as though the machines themselves were silently reveali

    The messenger seemed both amused and exasperated by the question. He smacked the table hard with his hand, letting out a sharp laugh. “Just think of him as an old man with a penchant for drama,” he said, shaking his head with a sigh that spoke of his own predicament. “But his standards for this whole reincarnation business are ridiculously high. It’s making life tough for those of us working under him!”Dean couldn’t help but find it amusing as he watched the messenger's exaggerated expression of grievance.Suddenly, the space around them dimmed, as if the entire world’s power had been abruptly cut off. In the pitch-black void, Dean instinctively held his breath. All that remained was an overwhelming silence, punctuated only by the rapid thud of his heartbeat.Time seemed to stretch endlessly until, at last, the power returned. A gentle light flooded the room once more, banishing the darkness."You…" Dean stared at the messenger in front of him, nearly falling to the ground in shock.

    Dean’s expression shifted slightly, a flicker of shock appearing in his eyes. His voice trembled as he asked, "So... I ended up like this because something went wrong with your plan?"The messenger sighed and spread his hands in resignation. "Yes, we do bear some responsibility. After all, it was us who allowed your family's strange wishes to be granted, and it was us who provided you with a hope that was beyond your limits."The messenger leaned forward, his tone calm and rational. "Although none of this was our decision, I have to admit that the reborn program we provided did have some flaws."Dean opened his mouth, thinking to argue, but found himself at a loss for words. His mind was in turmoil—anger, helplessness, and a deep sense of guilt all mingling within him. He lowered his head, his voice barely audible. "So... you made a mistake, but everything else is my fault.”The messenger shot him an exasperated glare, his tone now tinged with impatience. "Stop with the self-blame! I

    That person lifted his head, his gaze languid, tinged with a hint of impatience. He rubbed his temple with a hand and murmured, "You’ve arrived. I’ve been waiting for you for quite a while."Dean froze for a moment, instinctively furrowing his brow. "Waiting for me? Didn't you say earlier that you would come to find me? How did it turn into you waiting for me?"The messenger let out a soft grunt, his tone dripping with disdain. "Do you think I can appear whenever I please? I’m a messenger of the afterlife, not your personal assistant. To find you, there are conditions. I need to wait for you to fall into a deep sleep, to answer my summons, and then I have to wait for you to make your way here slowly. I’ve been waiting for three days! Honestly, you humans are so inefficient at even managing to fall asleep. The blow you took didn’t knock you out completely—you were still conscious, barely losing consciousness."Dean paused momentarily, then couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. Thou

    Shawn scoffed, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth. "Exactly," he replied coldly. "Since I took him, he’s mine.""Is that what you’re really going to do?" Damon’s voice dropped to a dangerous whisper, each word laced with a biting edge, radiating an unmistakable pressure."Exactly." Shawn met Damon’s gaze, unflinching, his voice so firm it was almost terrifying. "For Dean’s sake, I had even given up being the boss. No matter the cost, Dean will be mine."Chen let out a mocking laugh before speaking slowly, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Don’t forget, we haven’t settled the score with you yet. If we were to take your life right now, what would you have left to offer?""Don’t do anything stupid!" Ted couldn’t hold back any longer. He stepped up beside Shawn, his gaze darting nervously between the others, trying to appear calm despite the tension in the air. "You’d better stay in line!" he said, his voice firm, though laced with urgency.As soon as Ted finished speaking, Leo su

    A flash of anger flickered in Shawn's eyes, his lips curling into a sneer as he stepped forward. But just then, Ted tentatively took a step forward to offer help. In that split second, Leo turned and shot him a glance. It looked so sharp and so cutting; it felt like a blade forged in the depths of an abyss, piercing straight into Ted's soul. Ted froze, his breath caught in his chest. The "aura" was beyond his comprehension—an innate power, effortlessly and completely overwhelming him. He stood motionless, unable to twitch a finger, as if the air around him had grown heavy with unspoken authority.As Leo and Dr. Parker pulled Dean to safety, Damon immediately stepped forward, pulling him into a tight embrace. He could barely contain the torrent of emotions rushing within him in that instant. His arms wrapped around Dean, but suddenly, he felt an unsettling lightness—Dean had lost weight, so much so that it was painfully noticeable.He remembered that the Dean from before, though not th

    Shawn watched the scene before him, his emotions a mix of sadness and frustration. He leaned against the headboard, staying silent for a long while. Only when he was certain that Dean had quietly closed his eyes did he murmur to himself, “Can’t you... trust this bed just a little?”There was no response, only the soft, steady sound of Dean’s breathing coming from the small cabinet.Shawn lay there, tossing and turning, unable to find sleep. Dean’s image kept resurfacing in his mind—the sight of him curled up, head down, in that small cabinet. That vulnerable posture seemed to pierce his heart, each thought like a needle digging deeper. Finally, with a heavy sigh, he pushed the blankets off and got out of bed, moving quietly toward the cabinet.He bent down, peering through the gap in the cabinet door to look at Dean inside. The young man’s brow was furrowed even in his sleep, as if he couldn’t fully relax, not even in the comfort of rest. His head was tilted awkwardly against the cabi

    The room was steeped in silence, broken only by the unhurried ticking of the wall clock. Dean carried a bowl of steaming porridge to Shawn’s bedside, every movement deliberate and cautious, as if a single spilled drop might shatter the fragile peace.Shawn leaned against the headboard, his brows faintly furrowed and his complexion still pallid, yet his eyes held a glimmer of warmth, a subtle hint of expectation that softened the stark lines of his face.“It’s time to eat something,” Dean murmured, his gaze fixed on the bowl in his hands, too hesitant to meet Shawn’s eyes.Shawn’s lips curved into a faint smile, and he gave a soft nod. “Alright, but today, you’ll be the one feeding me. That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?”Dean didn’t reply. Instead, he quietly scooped up a spoonful of porridge, gently blew on it to cool it, and then held it out to Shawn. Shawn opened his mouth and ate slowly, his eyes never leaving Dean’s face, a playful smile tugging at his lips.“Eat slowly—it’s hot
