It was a familiar question. Lewis had asked her the same question before.She thought it was ridiculous. She felt as if history was repeating itself."I'm right in front of you now. Why don't you just kill me once and for all?"Seth leaned closer to her. The car was dimly lit, and Josephine didn't r
Winston sped up and rushed toward the source of the light.Josephine's gaze was fixed outside the window. The bright spot drew nearer. Soon, she could vaguely see car headlights and the silhouettes of two people.She saw two figures fighting each other in the flashing lights. There were only two peo
Josephine remained stunned as she sat in the car. She stared blankly ahead and didn't move an inch.The drones hovering in the sky suddenly turned around and aimed toward them. It was as if they had found their target.The man who was fighting Lewis turned around, too. He stared directly in their di
The sky had turned bright. Although it was a foggy morning, they could see their surroundings clearly.Seth followed Josephine and helped her with the search. He wondered about the identity of those people.They searched for a long time but didn't see Lewis. Instead, she found Phineas.Phineas lay u
Josephine was dumbfounded. She stared at Seth in disbelief. Her mind was in a jumbled mess after she heard Seth's words.She tried to search for signs that Seth was lying to her. But she couldn't find any. The images she thought were dreams kept replaying in her mind.Josephine withdrew her gaze. F
Josephine nodded and followed the doctor into the room. There was a designated area for her to change into the cleanroom suit.After changing into the suit, she approached Phineas' hospital bed.The doctor gave Phineas a check-up. His vital signs remained very weak. He could pass away at any moment.
Avery was looking after Kiran in the ward. She had already contacted Tyler, and Tyler would be coming to pick her up soon. So she didn't plan to go anywhere else.She was unfamiliar with this place, and the outside world was full of danger. She didn't want to go from the frying pan into the fire.Ki
Avery was straightforward. Her words caught Josephine off guard.Josephine didn't want a rift between them either. After contemplating, she responded, "Well, I was taken aback when I saw you with Kiran. "But now that you've explained everything, I have nothing more to say."Avery blinked. "Really?
"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
