Alan's footsteps halted. Without turning around, he said, "Let the past be the past. People need to look forward, and so should you."With that, he left the ward without looking back. Lewis was left alone in the room to digest the information he just received.Lewis was spacing out, and the cigarett
"Lewis! What are you doing?"Josephine arrived just in time to witness him tormenting the dog. Her anger surged instantly.Upon hearing her voice, Lewis released his grip on Lucy. The dog scurried away, tucking its tail between its legs and retreating to its cage. It was too afraid to come out.He c
Shocked, Josephine trembled. She quickly opened her Whatsapp. After confirming that the message was indeed from Seth, she felt somewhat nervous.She wanted to reply to him but changed her mind. Instead, she deleted their chat history altogether before putting her phone away.The new media managemen
Dr. Halliday was so frightened that he couldn't stop trembling. Clutching his medical kit, he scrambled upstairs.Lewis followed him upstairs. Dr. Halliday' anxiety grew as they approached Josephine's room. He thought something happened to Josephine.Josephine was sleeping soundly. She didn't wake u
Given the number of days she had taken off work, she lay back down. She opened her WhatsApp and saw that there had been no further updates after Seth's message.He asked her to keep things confidential. Could it mean that he was returning secretly?Had he already made arrangements?But upon further
Seth hung up before Josephine could say anything.She put her phone away and stepped out of the stall before scanning her surroundings. She was on the fifth floor of the hospital restroom. Climbing out the window was clearly not an option, and only one exit existed. How was she supposed to get out
Josephine felt hesitant. She looked into his eyes, but no words escaped her lips. She did trust him. It was just that she couldn't fully trust his actions now. Moreover, it wasn't just about whether they could escape. Even if they did, it could endanger many people."I ..."Seth gently touched her
Josephine stared at him in disbelief. Her mind went blank for a moment. She struggled to speak as she asked, "Are you planning to kill him?""There's no point continuing this game. If my plan works, I'll take you away from Elysium. No one will ever threaten you again. You'll be free, and you can go
"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

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
