The crowd turned their heads towards the entrance.Lewis strode in, approached Josephine, and stood before her.Seeing him defending Josephine, Nancy's anger, which had not yet subsided, surged even higher."Lewis, she's just a mute! Is it worth it for you to go against me non-stop for this mute?"N
Lewis put her down. He then pulled out his phone to turn it off before sitting beside Josephine and eating with her.After staring at him for a moment, Josephine finally picked up her cutleries and started eating.Strangely enough, Lewis kept wanting to feed her.Eyes on the spoon in front of her fa
Josephine shook her head. Just when she was about to sign something again, her stomach churned as she started throwing up again, her body limping against the toilet bowl.She had already thrown up all the food she had had. All that came out now was just water.Her stomach was churning so badly that
Lewis was reading something on his phone, so Sierra went closer to look at it. When she saw what was on the screen, her face froze.Contrary to her initial expectations, he wasn't engrossed in something unrelated. Instead, he was merely scrolling through Instagram, the app nearly crashing due to the
For the past two days, they had diligently cleaned up the mansion. Every nook and cranny had been attended to, and even the white drapes had been taken down, restoring the mansion to its original appearance.Josephine felt the familiarity of the mansion and the loneliness of being in it.She poured

She called for a cab to the Alvarez Corp.A white car finally arrived after twenty minutes of waiting.The driver started driving right after she pulled open the door and sat down.Anxiety consumed Josephine as she absentmindedly picked at her fingers, her gaze fixated on the relentless flashes of l
"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
