629: Shortsightedness Will Never Make You Great

“Of course,” Xero said. “Word is, he’s thrown half a dozen banquets in just one month for her. Even brought her to a royal court gala. And you won’t believe the most outrageous part.”
“What was it?”
“At that gala, the entire aristocracy of S Country was present. He tried to parade her in front of everyone to find a suitable husband. And the girl chose me. I turned her down on the spot. Our O’Malley Family has always kept out of the Prestons’ affairs. I knew Zorro only wanted to rope us in. Over my dead body.”

“The old fox lost a son, and now suddenly gains a daughter. No doubt he’ll treasure her like gold.”Caitlin wasn’t all that surprised. If Zora had learned her true parentage, and after disgracing herself in the US, it made sense she’d run to S Country to seek out her biological father.“Of course,” Xero said. “Word is, he’s thrown half a dozen banquets in just one month for her.

Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her 628: So This Is What It Feels Like to Love Someone
Caitlin studied her mother for a long moment. She had doubts, but pressed them down, exhaling softly. “Whatever the truth is, Mom, you’ve suffered enough. We’ll leave Father for now. The Codex—I’ll take it back. You just rest. We’ve got an early start tomorrow.”After making sure Kelly would try to sleep, Caitlin slipped out of the room.Inside, Kelly sat in silence, the sorrow in her eyes gradually fading. She picked up the bedside phone, dialed another room, and murmured a string of strange words—like a code.Caitlin returned to her room, where Sebastian was already waiting in a bathrobe. Seeing her weary expression, he wrapped an arm around her waist. “You all right, Caitlin?”She shook her head and pressed into his chest. “I found out where the second half of Yun’s Aromatic Codex is.”“Where?”“In D Country. We need to track down a man n

Going to S Country meant facing one enormous obstacle—Zorro’s power. If he got word they were heading there, he would never let them go unharmed.Sebastian thought for a moment and made his decision. “Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll arrange for people to escort your mother and James back to the US. Then Caitlin and I will go to S Country to find Aurelius.”“I’ll come too,” Alicia said firmly. “Otherwise my master may not even give you the time of day. I don’t have his contact information. Finding him is already a matter of luck, and he only listens to me.”She was right. Aurelius was eccentric, nearly impossible to track down, and rarely generous with his help. Only with Alicia did he show any real warmth.“I’m coming as well,” Zeke added without hesitation. He wasn’t about to let them go off into danger alone.Caitlin shook her head. “It&rs

“If an apology isn’t enough, then take me too. I’ll give myself to you. From now on, whenever you want to hit me, you can. I’ll be your punching bag for the rest of my life.”At that, Alicia broke into laughter through her tears. She laughed until it hurt, and then she wept again.She had gambled her life on one wild bet—whether she could ever win Zeke’s love. And after all these years, after decades of waiting, she had finally won.From childhood she had carried feelings for him, growing from innocent affection into relentless devotion. Loving him, waiting for him, had become as natural as breathing. And now that he had finally come to her, her heart swelled with both bitter ache and overwhelming relief. Tears streamed down her face, unstoppable.“Enough crying, Alicia,” Zeke murmured.He brushed her tears away with his thumb, then leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. It was a gentle k

“One is my master, Aurelius. The other is Alicia.”“Aurelius? You mean the Wandering Hakim people talk about?” Sebastian asked.“Yes. He was one of my masters too. But it’s too late to find him now. If we can track down Alicia, maybe my brother still has a chance. I only know a little about this field, but Alicia trained deeply under him. She’ll know what to do.”Zeke’s brow furrowed, the tension in his face hard as stone. “Then we find Alicia. I’ll lead the search myself.”“Let’s wait until nightfall and check that bar again,” Caitlin said. “If she’s still performing, we’ll see her.”It was the only hope they had. Silence fell across the hospital room. The joy of reuniting with their mother was already eclipsed by James’s condition. If he were healthy, they would all be back at the hotel sharing a meal together. Now, everyt

Tyler rushed over, tearing a strip of cloth from his shirt to bind James’s bleeding palms before hauling him upright.“Your back’s bleeding too…”He caught sight of the darkening bruise around the wound, and when his eyes flicked to James’s lips, they were tinged with purple.A heavy dread sank into Tyler’s gut. “James… are you poisoned?”“I’m fine… need to find my mother…” James forced the words out, teeth clenched against the pain. He staggered back toward the room.Tyler followed close behind—and then she appeared before them.“My son… Harrison…”Kelly caught her boy as he stumbled, her tears falling freely. Tyler’s chest tightened at the sight. After years of searching, she was real. She was here.“Madam, it’s really you,” Tyler said, his voice breaking with relief. &ldq
