Avery returned Lewis' cold gaze. "Then, tell me. How would I know if you don't tell me?"Lewis ignored her and entered the ward.Avery shook off Conrad and glared at him. "Why did you hold me back?"Conrad huffed, "Do you want to be sent off again when you've only returned?"Avery was unconvinced. "
Lewis' gaze fell on her misty eyes. His lips moved, but no sound came from it.Sierra's tears fell uncontrollably. She struggled as she reached out to hold his hand. "Lewis, I don't care if it's a lie. I'm scared I can't hold out much longer. I feel so miserable, lying here always."Lewis' brows kni
James shook his head. "It's nearly impossible to cure now that the disease has reached this stage."Lewis asked, "Then what should we do?"James sighed, feeling sorry for Josephine, and gave Lewis a deep and meaningful look. "You should spend more time with her when she's still capable of interactio
Josephine slowly opened her eyes and saw Lewis sleeping beside her, still in the same clothes. "How unhygienic!" she thought, "He didn't even change." Josephine pushed him, and his eyes flew open almost immediately. He stared at Josephine for several seconds. "What's wrong?" His voice was raspy fro
After watching the video for approximately two minutes, Lewis snatched the phone away and paused it. "You haven't fully recovered and can't play this game."Josephine was puzzled. "I'm fine now.""Are you a doctor?"Josephine shook her head as she crawled toward Lewis. She wrapped her arms around hi
Lewis was sitting slackly on the sofa, clutching an old photo, its colors faded to a yellowish tint. He studied it for some time before shifting his gaze to Steward, who was seated across from him.Steward suffered extremely severe burns, and Lewis couldn't distinguish even the slightest similarity
Although he was adopted, the Vance family treated him like one of their own and spent a lot of effort raising him.Lewis finished listening to his story with an indiscernible expression and increasing frostiness in his eyes."If it weren't for that, Alex couldn't have escaped his pursuers so effortl
"Mr. Fairchild, it's good to have self-assurance, but not excessively," said Lewis idly as he walked past Seth into the mansion.Seth watched as he left, no longer smiling.In the mansion, Lewis didn't see Josephine anywhere. However, the sofa was in a mess. Discarded paper and crumpled balls of pap
"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
