Mauricius was a bit puzzled.What young girl? As far as he knew, his brother had no children.Could it be his newly recognized goddaughter?“If she's awake, she's awake. There's no need to report this to me.”Harris was dumbfounded. ‘Isn't she your lover?! Old man! After the storm settled, you’re now kicking the young girl out? You’re truly a heartless old man! Fine. Anyway, I admire the little girl's abilities. I'll just take her back to Lonal Ridge and find a handsome guy for her to marry, then.’Harris thought his idea was quite good.He didn't want to say much in front of so many juniors. After coughing twice as a disguise, he greeted Mauricius and left.Dimas sat not far away. Though he didn't speak, his hands didn't stop moving.Harris felt curious and asked, “Dimi, what are you doing?”He glanced at the laptop. When he saw all those red dots, his scalp tingled with fear, almost triggering his fear of trypophobia.“Looking for someone.”“And these red dots are?”“Plac
He had a cold expression, almost smiling as he said, “My ears automatically block out the information I don't want to receive.”Zicreh shuddered. Only Dimas dared to speak to their father like that. Mauricius was enraged, stood up, and threw the wooden box containing the Grand Blue Pearl into the wheelchair. There was nothing precious about it.“Your marriage with the Kenwoods was arranged before you were born. Before you're married, as long as you're not despicable, I can turn a blind eye to your escapades,” Mauricius said.“But you're virtuous. We, as parents, trusted you and were satisfied with you. That's why we allowed you to leave home and the country for so many years, thinking that you would have seen enough of the world outside, come back, settle down, and get married. Instead, you found a girlfriend outside? Do you know what kind of status and responsibilities you have? Do you know what burdens you'll carry on your shoulders, on your back? Can that woman match your family
Mauricius glanced at him and said, “You might as well not say anything.”Harris looked at Jenell and said, “Jenell, why don’t you be the judge and evaluate the situation? It's difficult being human!”Jenell also felt overwhelmed by this big brother. Every family had its own difficulties. How could she evaluate this situation?! He was just passing the buck! Although these two brothers were of one mind, they'd had their fair share of fights!“Harris, aren't you supposed to go to the hospital to visit the patient?” Jenell said, then signaled to Zicreh.Zicreh was also sharp-witted and immediately continued, “Yes, uncle. The young girl might cry when she wakes up and doesn't see anyone familiar.”Harris looked anxious but waved his hand as he said, “How could that be? The young girl is skilled with a pistol!”With that said, he bowed to Mauricius and quickly left.Zicreh was stunned as he thought to himself, ‘The young girl is skilled with a gun? Is she a child prodigy?’After Harr
When Harmonia heard this news, the spoon she was holding dropped instantly, making a clanging sound as it hit the table.The nurse, who was about to leave, heard the noise and quickly turned back, hurriedly asking, “What's wrong? Did you burn yourself?” Harmonia snapped out of it and shook her head gently. “Sorry, I just lost my grip.”“It’s fine as long as you didn't burn yourself. It's normal for patients to feel weak. Do you want me to feed you?” The nurse offered.“No, I can manage. Thank you,” Harmonia smiled gratefully.She then pointed to the television and asked, “Is this news true?”The nurse turned to look and then nodded without hesitation, “Of course, it's true! It's official, but this is already expected. After all, they've had an engagement since childhood.”“An engagement since childhood?” Her voice trembled.Harmonia looked at her phone nearby, feeling like the call she was about to make was no longer necessary.“Yes, it’s common knowledge. Miss Kenwood is rea
Harris received a phone call and learned that she would be discharged from the hospital in advance and leave Dairkth early. First, he tried to persuade her to stay, expressing his regret and hoping she would stay in the empire and showcase her talents with him at Lonal Ridge. Who said women were inferior to men? Who said that weakness could not defeat strength? Gender discrimination was unacceptable!However, when Harris heard she wanted to return to her family, he stopped talking. In this world, where is the warmest place? Of course, it was home.Harris immediately arranged for her discharge procedures and bought her a first-class plane ticket. Harmonia wanted to refuse, but Harris insisted firmly, saying, “A guest is like a God. This is my way of hospitality.”With Harris saying so, Harmonia couldn't refuse.Harris then advised her, noting she was too thin, so she should eat more hometown dishes and take good care of herself after returning home. “The hometown's environment nur
This person, this place, and this plane ticket—they were all coming to an end.Today was a good day for Dimas to announce his engagement, and this was the airport owned by the Kenwoods. The Kenwoods had prepared small gifts for every guest, showing their sincerity.Harmonia and Hector naturally received theirs. Hector wanted to refuse, but Harmonia reached out, took it, and nodded in thanks.“Monia…” Hector turned to look at her, his eyes filled with worry.“Hector, this is a happy occasion. Let's share the joy…” Harmonia's tone was light, but it sounded particularly heart-wrenching.Hector felt uneasy. The small gift was a notebook with the airport logo and a ballpoint pen along with a box of candies.For this place and for that person, she only thought of one thing. She opened the notebook, turned to the first page, and wrote a sentence.A tear fell and blurred the ink.-It was time for them to board the plane.Harmonia stood up but left the notebook and pen on the seat.
‘I almost reached the moon, but unfortunately, it was already dawn.’Her handwriting was clear and beautiful, but the sentence she wrote made him unbearably sad. It turned out that he was also her moon.Rio didn't know what was written in the notebook, but he had seen the surveillance footage.“Miss Marsh looked very sad when she lowered her head to write, almost as if she was crying.”Dimas's heart sank even more. There were indeed traces of dried tears on this page. As he reached out to touch it, pain surged in his eyes because of her, but his gaze was intercepted by the emerging killing intent.The Kenwoods.Very well.Anger churned within him!Rio was also furious and wanted to curse because he had failed to keep Miss Marsh behind.He immediately spoke up and said, “Mr. Martinez, there's another important matter. I saw it on the surveillance. The airport gave Miss Marsh a box of wedding candy. I asked the staff, and they said it was a small gift the airport gave to passe
Dimas looked at Mac and asked, “What was the item?”“A signet ring. One side had the royal symbol, and the other side depicted an ancient mythical creature, the celestiara.”Dimas's eyes lit up. “Are you sure the doctor saw it right?”“This is what the doctor on duty said last night. The level of shock he experienced when he saw it with his own eyes ensures he wouldn't remember it wrong. Just to be sure, I also checked the surveillance footage thoroughly and double-confirmed that there are no mistakes!”The royal symbol. The celestiara. That was his uncle's signet ring!Dimas furrowed his brow, and the words he heard last night suddenly echoed in his ears: ‘The young girl is awake.’But why would his uncle say those five words to his father?Dimas met Harris that night and explained the situation.“Why are you looking for Blossom?”Although Harris liked this nephew of his very much, he couldn't help but be cautious. He stroked his beard and was lost in thought. Could it be t
