Josephine stood outside the hospital and observed the unfamiliar surroundings. It was her first time seeing the outside world during her extended stay here. Seeing the architecture and local customs, she couldn't help but think this place was dangerous."What are you doing standing here?" a famili
Darren was startled. "Wouldn't you be in danger then?""Who knows?" Lewis replied nonchalantly as he leaned against the bed.Darren contemplated briefly and said, "I'll try to locate him as soon as possible."Meanwhile, Avery looked at the food before her. She was displeased. "Vegetables again? Gos
After a few seconds, she noticed something off. She turned her head to see Kiran's hand still pressing against her chest. Avery's mind buzzed. Filled with a surge of adrenaline, she shot up from the ground.Kiran withdrew his hand. He didn't seem to notice Avery's expression. He calmly said, "You'd
Avery didn't dare provoke him anymore. He seemed to be in a bad mood. He might really kill her in a fit of anger.The sky had turned pitch-dark.Kiran didn't even bother to light a fire. The surroundings were dark, and only the sounds of insects chirping were heard.Not long after, Avery developed a
Meanwhile, Draco and Faust had arrived at a bar. They scanned their surroundings cautiously and walked past the crowd toward a private room. Someone bumped into Draco. He was about to react when he noticed something in his hand.He picked up the note and examined it under the bar's lighting. As he
Outside, it was pitch black. People here went to bed early. At this hour, there was no one outside. No one dared to be out there.Josephine only dared to stand by the door. She was wearing a new dress she had bought in town earlier that day. It was a thin, long, black floral-print dress. The night b
"The two groups are fighting." Winston observed the cars racing on the road outside. He then turned to look at Seth.Seth tilted his head and watched the cars with great interest. He casually remarked, "What a pity. Looks like we'll need to find a new business partner again."Hearing his indifferent
The subordinates Draco brought got wiped out. Even Draco retreated with a limp as his arm and leg had gotten shot. Even so, he pushed through the pain with his will to survive. It boosted his tolerance significantly as he dragged his injured leg down a long path.Still, his pursuers chased after him
"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
