Just as Alice regretted her previous decision, her phone suddenly rang, and it was Louis calling.

Usually, Alice would definitely not pick up, especially since Louis was very concerned with his image and would never call her first. But thinking about the condition she had agreed to, Alice could only answer the phone. Louis's deep yet somewhat cheerful voice immediately came through: "Alice, are you free this afternoon? Let's go out for dinner."

Before Alice could respond, Louis continued, "I really miss you."

The vein on Alice's forehead twitched. "We only separated this morning, and you already miss me?"

Although Louis knew Alice couldn't see him, he still made a face and shook his head. "You can't understand my heart; it misses you every minute and every second. You should know just how much I love you when I say that."

The corner of Alice's eye twitched. She had no idea when Louis had started using these cheesy lines.

She didn't know that the assistant was standing next to Louis, h

    Alex was still lost in thought, wondering when Alice became so close to Louis. Meanwhile, Louis had chased after Alice all the way to her car, with a flattering expression on his face as he opened the car door for her.Alice glanced at the garish, expensive car in front of her, starkly contrasting Louis' usual work attire. She couldn't help but ask, "Since when did you start acting like your friends?"Louis' friends might not be skilled at work but were undoubtedly experts in enjoying life. They might never use such cars, but their garage was always filled with the newest models!Alice knew Louis didn't have such a hobby. His interests wereways to related to his work. Sometimes, she even felt that she might see Louis marry his job one day. Despite thinking this, Alice had never reflected on how many hours she spent in the lab herself.Louis sat in the driver's seat and said thoughtfully, "Going out is different from going to work, especially since I'm taking you on a date."Alice look

    Alice looked toward the romantic proposal scene with an unreadable expression in her eyes while Louis gazed at her, his mind in turmoil. However, Alice didn’t notice this. She looked at Louis and said, “Alright, I need to head back to school. The meal today was really delicious, thank you.”Louis pouted slightly. “That’s not what a girlfriend would say to her boyfriend.”Alice nodded. “Alright then, let’s just pretend I’m your boyfriend.”Louis immediately responded with strong resistance. “A boyfriend wouldn’t say that to his girlfriend!”Alice raised an eyebrow. “Then what would a boyfriend say to his girlfriend?”Alice only meant to tease Louis a bit. After all, his angry expression, yet unable to do anything about it, genuinely made her happy.But before long, Alice couldn’t laugh anymore. Because just as she finished speaking, Louis suddenly stepped up close to her, then grabbed her chin, lowered his head, and lightly kissed her lips. It was just a brief kiss, but it felt like it

    Alice rubbed her ear and softly said, “I know you’re upset, but don’t yell like that. It’s not good for your throat.”Ron almost growled, “You’re worried about me? If so, you’d better stay away from Louis, as far away as possible!”Alice: “...”Ron continued, “I haven’t forgotten how he misunderstood our relationship last time. You can tell just by looking at him that there’s nothing good going on in his head. Be careful, don’t let him fool you!”Alice thought to herself, with Louis’ silly dog-like appearance, how could he fool her? She replied, “You can’t blame him. We aren’t the same and are much closer than most people.”Ron said thoughtfully, “Are you defending Louis now? Don’t tell me you like him.”Ron felt this question was unnecessary—if Alice didn’t like Louis, she wouldn’t be dating him.Alice gently said, “I’ll break up with him in a few days, don’t overthink it.” Then, she threw out her final move: “If you have so much time to worry about me, you’d better go find a sister-

    Louis hurriedly followed Alice and grabbed her hand, gently shaking it. "We're going to the amusement park I invested in. It's almost finished, and it's still not too crowded."Alice glanced at Louis. "I thought with your personality, you'd have bought out the whole park?"Louis shook his head. "That wouldn't be fun, would it?"Alice wondered when Louis had started to like humanity. She didn't realize that Louis desperately wanted to date her publicly at that moment. He could hardly wait to tell everyone that he was dating Alice.They entered the amusement park. Since it wasn't the weekend, there weren't too many people, especially no children."Do you want some ice cream?" Louis asked as they stopped at a kiosk.Alice nodded. "Cantaloupe flavor, please."Louis quickly returned with two ice creams. He handed Alice the cantaloupe-flavored one and then offered another one to her.Alice gave him a puzzled look. Louis softly explained, "It says in all the guides that you should try one fi

    "Alice, are you happy?" On the way back, Louis kept looking at Alice, happily yet somewhat hesitantly asking over and over again.Alice couldn't help but glance at him and softly replied, "I don't know if I'm happy, but it seems like you're quite happy?"Louis nodded, "Yes, I am very happy."At this point, the smile on his lips was no longer that of a goofy, big dog; it was simply that of a young man enjoying his date.Alice felt that Louis was so outstanding, to the point that it made people forget that he was still under twenty-five years old—he was still very young.Of course, Alice never looked at herself, a young girl who was constantly immersed in the lab, always like this.Alice looked at Louis and sincerely said, "You will meet many better people, Louis. You deserve to be happy."Saying these words, Alice knew that she no longer disliked Louis. She genuinely wanted to wish him happiness.Louis looked at Alice, and the smile on his face faded: "Why are you saying this now, Alic

    Ron looked at Louis without saying a word. At that moment, Alice had also come out and noticed the two of them staring at the cactus pot, her expression unchanged.She looked at them in confusion and asked, "Is something wrong with that cactus pot?"Ron shook his head, and Louis softly replied, "It just seems a bit familiar."Alice, hearing this, casually said, "Maybe you have some connection with it. Consider it a thank-you gift for taking me out yesterday."With that, Alice took the cactus pot and carefully handed it to Louis. Louis couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Alice clearly had cared for the pot for many years, and it was evident how much she valued it. Yet, she wanted him to take care of it?Ron, standing off to the side, was also deeply surprised. He had now fully confirmed that his sister probably had no lingering feelings for Cliff. But...Ron's gaze turned to Louis, wondering why his sister always seemed to end up with guys who looked so untrustworthy.Louis, how

    Alice couldn't discern Louis' thoughts. She looked at his somewhat vacant expression and felt that perhaps he was still lost in the past.Suddenly, Alice raised her hand and gently wiped it on Louis' shirt, jokingly saying, "Your hands are all sweaty."Louis was startled by this and quickly looked at his hand. If he were sweating when holding Alice's hand, he wouldn't know where to hide his face!Seeing Louis' panicked expression, Alice couldn't help but laugh, "I was just joking."Louis looked at her, seeming to disapprove of her joke deeply. Alice shrugged, acting nonchalant.Of course, Louis wasn't angry. All his fiery actions toward Alice made her soften toward him even more.They left the old house, and just then, Louis suddenly said, "Actually, I've always regretted burning down the old house. I feel like I've forgotten something important there but can't remember what it is."Alice raised an eyebrow at this, ready to hear more. Louis furrowed his brows, thinking, but still coul

    Mrs. Adonis kept staring at Alice, and it was difficult to discern her thoughts through her dark, unblinking eyes. Finally, she looked at Louis and said softly, "I thought you would never get close to love in this lifetime."Louis laughed coldly, "Only fools can't control their love, Mother."Mrs. Adonis responded sincerely, "Do you think you can control your love, Louis?"Louis was momentarily stunned. He wondered what he would do if Alice betrayed him and realized that he probably wouldn't know what to do either. Perhaps he would despair and become as mad as his mother?As if she could sense Louis' hesitation, Mrs. Adonis smiled slightly, "Louis, we are the same. The passionate, obsessive blood of the Adonis family runs through our veins. Do you think you can escape the same fate as mine?"At this point, she seemed to show signs of madness, and Louis found himself almost unable to argue.Just then, his hand was suddenly gripped tightly, jolting him awake. He looked at Alice, who had

    Louis immediately became panicked, quickly getting out of bed. His whole body swayed, and his legs were so weak that he nearly fell. He had to hold onto the edge of the bed, his breath rapid, his heart pounding, still recovering from the long faint. Fortunately, his body was strong and recovered quickly, though he still felt a bit dizzy, and his vision was blurry.Not having time to worry about himself, he urgently asked, "How is Alice?"July suddenly fell silent, not saying anything. Her abrupt stop made Louis suspicious. He looked at her with a questioning gaze, his heart racing with a bad feeling.July's eyes flickered slightly, hesitation passing in a moment, but she couldn't hide the deep sorrow within. She looked at Louis as though considering whether or not to tell the truth, her lips pressed together, hesitant and speechless.Louis felt his palms go cold. July's silence was like an invisible hand tightening around his chest. A sense of unease spread through his body, every cel

    Hearing that name, Louis’s body trembled slightly. He looked up, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, filled with extreme exhaustion but also carrying an unspoken pain. His voice came out hoarse:"I can’t leave… I have to stay here, wait for her to wake up…"Ron clenched his fists, turning his face away to hide his emotions. In the stark white hospital room, worry and despair intertwined, enveloping everything.Louis slowly stood up, his eyes fixed on Alice lying in the hospital bed. She was still motionless, her weak breath completely dependent on the oxygen machine beside her. Alice’s body had noticeably weakened, her pale skin lifeless, making her seem as fragile as a delicate princess lost in a long, deep sleep. The painful tightness in Louis’s chest made him clench his hands to keep from letting out a sigh.He closed his eyes, as if trying to calm himself, but Alice’s image remained firmly etched in his mind. He couldn’t forget what Mrs. Campbell had just said. "If you collapse

    Her face was covered in dirt, with small wounds bleeding on her forehead and cheek, but in this moment, Alice was still strangely beautiful. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips, even as tears involuntarily spilled, mixing with sweat and dust. Her eyes sparkled in the fiery red glow of the sunset, gentle yet full of sorrow. She loved Louis, and that had never changed.She spread her arms wide, waiting for the deadly embrace from Cliff.Louis and the others watched in despair as the scene unfolded before them. Louis rushed forward, wanting to pull Alice out of danger, but a figure moved faster than him—Vein.It turned out, he hadn’t died.The memory from the laboratory flashed back: Cliff’s final bullet had grazed Vein’s forehead, leaving a deep but non-fatal wound. When Cliff had left, he had sneered one last time, saying, "Get lost!" He thought Vein was no longer of any use, not worth finishing off. But now, Vein appeared, like a demon from hell, to stop everything.His messy hair

    Cliff smirked, his eyes gleaming with challenge."So this is how you want to talk like a man? If that's the case, then let Alice go." Louis' voice was low, but the danger in every word was evident.Cliff burst out laughing, the gun in his hand still pressed against Alice's temple. "You think I'm stupid, Louis? I'm not crazy enough to let her go so easily." He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with madness. "If you want to save her, then come over here."Just as Louis was about to take a step forward, Alice suddenly screamed, her voice hoarse with pain and fear. "Don’t! Louis, don’t move!" She struggled, but her strength had drained, her legs too weak to stand. Still, her eyes remained resolute.Louis froze, his gaze meeting Alice's with profound sorrow. She was protecting him, even though she was in the most perilous situation. The anger inside him burned fiercer than ever, but he remained patient, knowing that one wrong move could make Cliff act instantly.Cliff narrowed his eyes

    Alice froze, her breath quick and shallow, feeling the suffocating grip of his embrace. Cliff’s face was close to her ear, a twisted smile still lingering on his lips."Alice, are you scared?" His voice whispered, laced with fake tenderness. "It’s just a joke, my love... I’m only trying to scare you."But immediately, his expression shifted. His eyes gleamed with madness, his muscles tensing, and his low voice suddenly turned fierce, like a thunderclap."But even if I destroy you… I’ll do it right in front of Louis!" He hissed each word, his eyes burning with a hatred so intense that it seemed to bring him a twisted pleasure.With that, Cliff bent down, gripping Alice’s arm tightly and roughly yanking her up from the ground. No gentleness, no pity—he dragged her as though she were nothing more than a discarded object. Alice staggered, her legs aching as if thousands of needles were piercing her skin, but she gritted her teeth, forcing herself to keep up with Cliff’s swift pace to avoi

    But just then, her foot got caught on a large vine hidden among the rotting leaves. She didn't have time to react, her entire body was yanked downward, losing its balance. A wave of panic swept over her, and in the next moment, she rolled down a rocky slope.Alice screamed in pain as sharp stones and dry branches hit her body. Each impact was a sharp, piercing pain that seemed to cut through her flesh, and she even heard a dry "crack"—perhaps a few bones had broken. When her body finally stopped at the foot of the slope, the pain was almost unbearable, leaving her gasping for breath. Her body trembled, and her vision blurred from tears that welled up from the excruciating agony. Alice sobbed, her breaths caught in her throat. She wanted to scream, to cry out loud, but she couldn't. There was no time to be weak.Biting her lip until it bled, Alice shakily pushed her hands into the ground, trying to lift her battered body. But the pain from her ribs nearly made her collapse again. Don’t

    The sound of the helicopter echoed in the sky, making her heart race. A spark of hope flickered in her mind, and she almost wanted to laugh despite being in a life-or-death situation. She whispered, as if to reassure herself: "They're coming... they're really coming..."But if she didn’t manage to escape, if she was caught again... Alice didn’t dare to imagine what would happen. What would Cliff do to her? His cold face, eyes full of absolute control, appeared in her mind, making her shiver. She didn’t want to be locked up in that dark room again, trapped like a bird in a cage, losing both her freedom and hope. No! She had to run! She had to escape from here at any cost!Alice had nearly given up everything to get this far. Over the past few days, she had starved herself to create a pitiful appearance, tricking Cliff into lowering his guard. But that had also made her much weaker. Her legs felt heavy, each step felt like walking on sharp blades. Her empty stomach clenched painfully, h

    Cliff didn’t answer, only lunged again. In his eyes, there was only betrayal and fury, as if all the years they had fought side by side meant nothing anymore. But deep in his heart, a fear gnawed at him—the fear of failure. Could it be that he was going to lose again? Was everything he had worked for, everything he had done, going to be taken from him once more? No… he couldn’t let that happen.Vein quickly sidestepped, delivering a kick aimed at Cliff’s ribs. But Cliff was too enraged to feel the pain. He grabbed Vein by the collar and punched him squarely in the face again.The two of them struggled, crashing into the lab table, causing everything to shatter in chaos. Sharp shards of glass cut into their skin, blood dripping in droplets. Their eyes met for a brief moment—Cliff’s eyes were ablaze with fury, ready to burn everything down, while Vein’s eyes were cold, distant, yet tinged with something resembling... pity. No matter how intelligent Vein was, he could not overcome the in

    Louis sat in the command seat, his eyes fixed intently on the island gradually coming into view. His heart pounded in his chest, each passing second cutting into his patience like a sharpened blade. Alice… She was there, imprisoned, suffering—how? The thought sent a surge of fury through him, but he had to stay calm. This wasn’t just a mission—this was redemption. He wouldn’t lose her again.His hand tightened around the seatbelt, his knuckles turning white. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, and Alice’s smiling face appeared in his mind. Her voice, her bright gaze—everything about her urged him to move faster, to be stronger. When he opened his eyes again, only cold determination remained.The radio crackled in his earpiece. "Target in sight. The island is ahead—signs of guards present." A voice came through from the reconnaissance team.Louis nodded, his gaze resolute. "Everyone, get ready. We don’t get a second chance."The helicopter circled, drawing closer to the island shrou
