Semua Bab Unveiling the True Match: Bab 281 - Bab 290

It was an overwhelming sensation of pain.Slowly opening her eyes, Yaslyn realized she was in a lavish room adorned with golden fixtures. Had she not known better, she might have believed she was in a mythical golden palace. Memories of her desperate jump into the sea and her limited swimming abilities surfaced. After gulping down some seawater, darkness had enveloped her. Even though she was lying in a bed, a lingering sense of disorientation made the room seem as if it was still moving.How did she get here?Yaslyn barely opened her eyes and had not even had a chance to move when a commotion echoed from outside the door. On high alert, her hand instinctively reached for the dagger at her waist under the blanket, only to realize her clothes had been changed at some point.The door creaked open, revealing a pair of white sneakers. Raising her gaze, she saw gray track pants, a white short-sleeved shirt, and a blue-and-white jacket. He looked every bit the part of a cheerful young ma

The face of the intruder was hidden behind a mask, concealing his expression. Nonetheless, his deep-seated hatred was unmistakable."I've been on this ship, under your command, for three long years," he declared, eyes fixed intently on Xylon, a chilling smile gracing his lips. "Today, I'll finally seize my opportunity for revenge."Xylon remained unperturbed as though nothing particularly significant had occurred. "Oh, is that so?"The masked man was infuriated by Xylon's apparent lack of fear. "Keep lying to yourself! I'll enjoy watching you lose your composure!"Behind him, a group of black-clad individuals followed, their spirits high and their faces fierce.Raising his hand, the masked man gestured for one of them to step forward. The one who came forward inquired in a submissive tone, "Master, what should we do with these two in front of us?""As for the others in this room, do as you please, but leave these two to me!" the masked man replied, laughing wickedly.Upon hearin

With an abrupt clap, Yaslyn took a deep breath. "Thank you, Godfather, but I need to get back home right now."A shadow of concern passed over Zion's face upon hearing Yaslyn's decision. "But you've only just come to see me after such a long time! Why the rush to leave?"She gave him a reassuring smile. "You see, I was stranded with Xoan. I managed to escape by jumping into the sea, but I don't know what happened to him." Unable to hide her concern any longer, she was desperate to know if Xoan was safe.Seeing her resolve, Zion let out a sigh. "Don't worry. I'll organize everything for you swiftly. But first, you must spend some time with me. With my wayward son seldom around, you're the only company I have left." Mentioning his son always seemed to evoke a whirlwind of feelings in Zion."Thank you, Godfather."Though handling these matters was not complex, almost all of Yaslyn's belongings had vanished, so it would take some time."Oh, I almost forgot!" Xylon suddenly slapped hi

Yaslyn did not sit well being called a 'little vixen'. Turning her head, her eyes twinkled slightly as she met the gaze of the person who addressed her in such a manner."It's you."Susie!Yaslyn was taken aback. The very person she had been seeking was standing right in front of her."You..." Susie was equally startled. 'Isn't this Yaslyn? Why is she here, and with Xylon at that?'Noticing the familiar glances exchanged between the two women, Xylon curiously asked, "Do you two know each other?"Yaslyn nodded, her smile cryptic. "Oh, we don't just 'know' each other. We go way back."Xylon quickly caught on. "In that case, I'll leave you two to catch up. I have something to attend to. I'll be back shortly."It was clear he had no desire to deal with Susie at the moment. Despite her tears and pleas for an annulment, she acted as if they were still engaged. Her behavior nauseated him.With a convenient excuse, Xylon made his exit, leaving only Yaslyn and Susie in the vicinity.S

Was the pill something Yaslyn could so easily request?Sherman turned away immediately. "I'll consider everything else, but this is non-negotiable.""Why not?" Yaslyn questioned, her brow furrowing in confusion."Because there's only one left. I used one of the only two I had to save your life three years ago. I only have one left, and I can't give it to you," Sherman said, pain evident in his voice. How could Yaslyn casually ask for something so hard to come by?"It's a matter of life and death," Yaslyn argued. "I've examined Xoan, and without intervention, he might not survive the month."Sherman's expression turned grim. "Not even a month? Let me take a look."After examining Xoan, Sherman grasped the gravity of Yaslyn's words."If I give you the last New Life Ganodex Pill, what about your illness?"A bittersweet smile tugged at Yaslyn's lips. "I still have a year, right? There will always be other forms of cure, but for Xoan, time is running out."She could not just abando
