Pure hostility radiated from Lewis as he stood close to Yannis. A chill crept down Yannis' neck. It felt like a sharpened knife hung above Yannis' head and would fall onto Yannis at any moment. He stitched up, applied some medication cream, and bandaged Lewis' wound quickly. "It's done, Mr. Alvare
"What the hell is going on?" Lewis lost his composure. He would have choked Yannis to death if he weren't supporting Josephine. While still trembling, Yannis answered, "M-Mrs. Alvarez's blood pressure spiked due to anger. S-She's better now."Lewis looked down at Josephine, whose breathing had retu
Josephine's lashes fluttered as she looked away from the window. It was unlikely for her to see it snow at that point.Lewis looked at her briefly, then shot to his feet while caressing the top of her head. "Wait here."He then left the room.Josephine watched as he exited the bedroom before shuttin
Tyler replied, "It won't pollute the environment. Artificial weather modification occurs through physical alterations. No foreign chemicals were introduced during the snowfall process. The snow we're seeing now is no different from the one we usually see in winter. It's not harmful."Avery rolled he
Lewis hugged her while resting his chin atop her head and listening to her gentle voice. He didn't say a word the entire time.Josephine shut her eyes. She didn't have the strength to speak anymore. The chilly breeze against her cheek made it feel like it was really the wintertime.The snowfall had
He knew Josephine's body was weak, so no good would come from taking her out into the cold.Lewis ignored Yannis and headed into the villa. Yannis had no choice but to follow after the former. Once they were inside the bedroom, Yannis instantly checked Josephine's pulse. He remained silent for the
Yannis had Mrs. Larson deliver dinner to the couple's bedroom.Mrs. Larson hadn't realized the severity of things, so she served dinner like usual. She didn't feel like anything was wrong when she entered the room. She only saw Lewis cleaning Josephine's face and arms with a damp cloth."I'll leave
It was already noon.She stood to ask again, "Is she still not awake?"Darren shook his head. "No."Avery glowered at him but returned to her seat. …As time went by, even Mrs. Larson felt things were not right. She had delivered breakfast earlier, yet they hadn't been touched. Not only that, but J
"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
