Lily's threat level had greatly exceeded everyone's expectation. According to Connie's plan, she would not be given any chances of survival because it would be impossible for Luna to escape this alive without killing Lily. The military had no choice but to reluctantly accept the plan and give up on Lily. Nathan went upstairs to take another look at Luna, who was obediently curled up on the balcony with her eyes wide open. She tried to stay awake although she was at the verge of dozing off at any time. Suppressing his tears, Nathan tried to make himself sound relaxed as he consoled her. "Good baby, I'm here. We are going to shoot our night scenes soon. Luna, be good, don't move and don't sleep!" Luna seemed pitiful. "Daddy, it's dark. I'm scared." He replied, "Shooting night scenes is like this. Don't be scared. After we finish shooting for this movie, you will become famous, and I will take you to go and participate in 'Where Are We Going, Dad?'." Upon mentioning joining the pr
The moment Anthony made an appearance, Lily instantly calmed down, as if she had found her faith. She raised her head and looked at him. As he was stepping forward, he fished out a pocket watch from his pocket and held it in front of Lily. He then spoke to her in a kind, gentle voice. "Look at it." Her highly tense spirit became relaxed at that moment. She looked at the pocket watch without any resistance while her pupils followed the movement of the swinging pocket, which then caused her to be unconsciously hypnotized. Her eyes became glassy, and her mind turned blank. At the same time, the gun that she had been firmly holding in her hands fell to the floor. Meanwhile, Anthony impassively continued to swing the pocket watch with one hand. "Look at it... If you feel tired, close your eyes and take a rest." His voice, which was full of magic, caused Lily to almost fall asleep with her eyes half closed. He quietly picked up the gun with his other hand, turned off the safety, and rem
As the car headed home, Connie hugged Luna in her arms while Hilda continued sobbing in silence. The injuries on her face had not fully recovered. She weakly leaned on Linux' shoulder and buried her face in his arms as he comforted her. As she was highly tense for the entire day, the current opportunity to relax for a split second immediately caused her to loosen up and fall asleep within seconds. Even after she fell asleep, there was a trace of tears at the corner of her eyes. His body stiffened as he was afraid that he would wake her up. Upon looking at Luna, who was dozing off in her arms, Connie wrapped her up tightly with the blanket, causing her to fall asleep almost instantly. Even while she was asleep, she still held onto her money and refused to let anyone take it. While looking at the sleeping mother and daughter, she felt blissful yet pressured, as if she owned the whole world, but had to bear the weight of it. Nevertheless, her daughter would eventually have to settle
Luna did not go to kindergarten today, instead, she woke up early in the morning to prepare for the move. She emptied her little husky bag and placed her hard earned money in it before entering the car. As it was a hasty decision to move, they still had not chosen the right place. Connie did not purchase any property in Taadi City and Hilda wanted to live in a comfortable place. In order to make her life easier, she suggested to move down town. The house was rather spacious, so Luna had a place to play and it was within a driving distance to the kindergarten and the company. Hilda owned a house down town, the former Adams Mansion now belonged to her. She had taken quite a liking to the garden there, so it was the right time to move. While holding her pair of alpacas and entering the car, she suddenly felt that someone was looking at her. After turning, she saw that it was Toby holding Snowball at the entrance of Nathan's Villa, looking at her wordlessly, as if he had something to
After Anthony entered the research center, he was completely stripped down. They confiscated his exquisite suit and gold plated glasses. In exchange, they gave him an attire that only a patient in hospital would wear. The flimsy outfit made him feel insecure, but his slender fingers looked clean and fair in contrast. After he took a sip of plain water, he continued to play chess with Old master Clemon. Halfway through their game, Old master Clemon suddenly sighed and said meaningfully, "You really look like your father." Without using any ruse, it was the conclusion that Old master Clemon arrived at when he saw Anthony. However, Anthony pretended that he did not hear the old master's words and continued with the game. Old master Clemon continued, "Your father is like you, he has patience, endurance, and foresight. With every step that he took, he could predict a hundred steps ahead. When I played chess with him, I never lasted more than seven moves." Anthony remained silent with
Hilda was woken up by a series of howls early in the morning. After she opened the windows, she saw a wolf howling at the sky near the river under the bridge. When the wolf howled, the two huskies that she reared also followed suit, causing the entire place to be surrounded by howls. Upon a closer look, she realized that it was Kater. As he stood on the stone bridge on the lake, he saw her opening the window opposite him and continuously howled at her, as if he was scolding her. After having a shower, Hilda asked the nanny to take care of Luna before leaving her room to head to the living area. At that moment, Rex was chatting with Connie in the living room. "Ms. Connie, I'm begging you. Lily seems to be better off dead than alive these last two days. Only Hilda can knock some sense into Hex now. Can I just borrow her for a while, just a while?" "Not even for a second!" With that, Connie stoically sent him away. Sherry opened the door of the living room before saying, "Rex, y
At the research center, Lily had committed suicide once again. Her wrist, which had stopped bleeding only moments ago, had been slit by her again. Blood in the color of a red flower oozed down her hand. Once she woke up, she could not face herself at all. As soon as she closed her eyes, she had flashbacks of her pushing Luna, who was crying loudly, to the balcony on the tenth floor without any railings. Lily saw herself aiming the gun at her fiancé. She could not find any peace in herself and she could barely wait to end her life. Nathan stayed at the research center, taking turns with Johnathan to keep an eye on Lily. They were worried that if they did not pay attention for a second, she would find an opportunity to kill herself. After all, she was an experienced assassin! After enduring all of the trouble until midnight, Lily finally fell asleep after being injected with tranquilizer. However, it was not something that could be given to her all the time because her body was una
Nathan merely looked at everything in the ward through the glass screen. Next to him were Johnathan and Rex, who looked worried. "He's not going to play any games, is he?" Rex asked. Nathan shook his head. "He won't. He cherishes his life a lot." Anthony had arrived for Hilda and Luna. So, he probably expected that such a day would arrive and already held onto his trump card, the confidential information he held... and the method to cure Lily. Apart from Hex himself, no one knew who his financial backer was. Normally, after he had completed the mission given, they would turn the gun in the other direction and wanted to catch him instead, making it ironic. When Anthony arrived, he knew that he would have to somehow reveal his trump card. Even so, he still acted as if he was high and mighty, thinking that it was the Clemon Family and Hilda who owed him. He planned to elaborate on the fact that he was the one who saved her. However, he never expected that Connie would break throug
