Seth's voice was gentle and seemed to bewitch her as he whispered.Josephine's eyes flickered, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.After Seth had finished speaking, he looked at her solemnly and uttered, "Understand?"Josephine nodded in a trance.She must remember that, or she would rove the
It was morning. The sunlight shone through the window and fell on Josephine's ashen face.Her eyelashes fluttered as her eyes slowly opened. The harsh rays were too dazzling for her, and she raised her hand to shield her eyes from them.She took some time before getting up from bed.As she turned, s
"It's hard to say. She's still young, so her condition can still be managed as long as she takes the medication," Dr. Halliday explained. Realizing that he had veered off topic, he paused and then changed it back. "This illness will cause progressive memory loss. Not only will she be unable to remem
He suddenly put out his cigarette and reached out toward her. "Come here."Josephine complied, stood next to him, and stared at him.Holding her hands in his, he, too, looked at her. "What do you still remember?"Josephine was silent at his repeated question. She still remembered a lot of things, bu
Lewis carried her downstairs to the dining room, yet he showed no intention of setting her down. Josephine felt her face grow hot. She wasn't used to him holding her in his lap during mealtime, plus she wasn't a child. She tried to squirm free, but he wouldn't let her and wrapped an arm around her w
"Then please let us know if you do."Josephine nodded her head in response.The two maids found a suitable place to wait, keeping a watchful eye on Josephine. They had been instructed beforehand that their primary duty was to ensure Josephine's well-being. They were to accompany her if she left the
Derek's gaze flickered as he looked deeply at Seth.Was he intentionally trying to guide him, or did he have ulterior motives?Seth was a mystery, not only in terms of his identity but also his actions. Derek hadn't noticed it before, but now he felt that Seth was waiting to stir up trouble.Seth sm
In less than an hour, Lewis returned.As he entered the mansion's living room, his gaze swept across the room and landed on a young woman beside Nancy.Lewis' gaze paused briefly, and he approached Nancy.Nancy was happily chatting with the woman. She immediately smiled and waved at Lewis when she s
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lewis asked.Josephine snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I didn't think—""Didn't think what? Your parents are my parents. It's only fair that I give a proper gesture to my parents. What's so shocking about that?"Josephine had never heard him say su
"Well, we should visit your parents first—show them their grandkids. Plus, I don't think we need to return to Elysium anymore. We'll bring Serena over once we settle down. Let's stay here for a while," Lewis answered.Josephine nodded. She agreed that it was unnecessary to go back there since the co
Seth shot the former the side eye like he was looking at an idiot.Daxtor felt offended at once. His face darkened to his usual sternness. "Why? Are you unwilling to accept your actual identity?"Seth replied, "I hear the Leigh family is in trouble. I don't want to join a sinking ship.""About that.
Daxtor stopped reminiscing and cut to the chase. "Your mother was my first love. I'm probably hers, too."The two had dated when they were in school. They had deep feelings for each other, but their social statuses were too different. Daxtor had tried retaliating against his family and convincing h
Seth came in secret. Some things were easier to do here than in their home country. Still, doing so came with some risks. He said, "You two can forget about having a peaceful life if I hadn't come here. How do you plan to repay me, Lewis?"Lewis responded, "You can go home. We don't need you here."
Lewis fell silent. "Not so soon."Josephine didn't understand. "Do you have any matters left to resolve? Or ..."Or did he want to stay here? It seemed like they didn't have a place to return to.They didn't have a house in Hardington. Apart from the villa in Styx Mansion, nothing else belonged to t
The sudden blast created a disturbance, making the image tremble as static sounds disrupted the audio.The next moment, the signal was interrupted, and the TV screen went black.Although the screen had turned dark, Josephine had keenly noticed that something had exploded in the court.Blood scattere
Josephine didn't have much to do these days. Lewis was rarely home. Alone, she felt bored. Avery didn't want to visit her either.Avery wasn't on good terms with Lewis. So she tried to avoid running into him.Josephine didn't know what Lewis was up to. Avery seemed to have no acquaintances here but
