A little stunned by the discovery, Gavin needed some time to readjust his mental state. Just hearing it made me feel creepy, try to ask yourself what it would be like to experience the feeling of being controlled by others. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for his little brother, who had unfortunately fallen into the wrong hands. Gavin recalled Alden's lack of color recently, a sudden feeling of guilt over his lack of responsibility as a brother, who had not been of much help to his brother.

This time, Gavin will definitely protect Alden, he closed the thought with great determination.

"Anything else?" Gavin continued to ask calmly.

"According to the size of the tumor, I'm guessing the drug has been injected into Alden's body for a while. The time could be in years."

That means Emma planned from the start to get close to Alden. And the best chance to do it was when Alden was hospitalized in an accident two years ago. As Gavin remembers, Emma was the one taking care

    Right now, he was lying motionless on the bed. Next to it is a full range of equipment to monitor the current state of the body. An infusion tube connects directly from the fluid tank to the arm. That was exactly what Emma was aiming for. Without further delay, she stepped forward, quickly taking from her pocket the cylinder she had prepared in advance at home, filled with a golden, liquid. Without any conscience, without shaking her hands, Emma decisively injected into the tube, the drug she was still using every day to make Alden obey her manipulation. When she finished, Emma smiled proudly, thinking about tomorrow, when Alden woke up, listened to her words, and dealt with her mother-in-law and brother-in-law, making her happy and gloating. Finished, Emma scurried away lest she is discovered. Emma left just like that, satisfied with the succession plan.Tonight she could sleep peacefully, looking forward to tomorrow, when dawn awoke. Everything will be right. With Alden as a powerfu

    Feeling that Alden was gradually regaining a little less melancholy tone, Gavin decided to continue the story. Although knowing right now, maybe not be the right time, to examine Alden's feelings, views, and thoughts. But it is better to solve it early to avoid a long night of dreams. He wanted to help his younger brother recover as soon as possible.It can be said that Gavin is very wary of Emma's counterattack. It is possible that she is planning another plan after the previous plan failed. Emma must have great power behind it, so she is so bold. She alone would not dare to cause trouble with Duong Mac. Convinced of this doubt, Gavin was cautious in his steps."Why do you want to start over?"Gavin calmly asked the question, causing Alden to look up at him:"What is the real reason you want to change, and give up bad habits? Is it for the family, for the parents?"Gavin reminds me, that two years ago almost died, and coincidentally met Emma. She plays a caring angel who is not afrai

    Her eyes resisted opening, but reason warned that she needed to wake up. Cara slowly looked around. Everything was clear—the quiet room, the white ceiling. She turned her head, trying to see better while her mind struggled to piece together the fragmented memories: going to school, rain, crossing the street, the crash, the darkness… Finally, she concluded that she was in the hospital.It was lucky that someone had helped her and brought her to the hospital. Cara had once feared that passersby would just leave her behind without a second thought, without compassion. And even luckier, she still had the chance to see the sunlight. It seemed her fate wasn’t over yet, just as she had silently prayed before closing her eyes. She silently thanked God.As Cara was trying to calm herself, the doctor in charge of her treatment came in for a routine checkup. Keva, the beautiful blonde doctor, seemed very pleased to see Cara awake.The doctor walked over and took Cara’s hand, which was still motio

    Seeing the girl in such intense distress, as a doctor, Keva felt a responsibility to care for and comfort the patient. She was about to say something to console her when, once again, Cara reacted first."Is there any way to speed up this process?" Cara's voice trembled, her eyes brimming with tears. "I really don't have time for this. Please, is there any other way you can help me?""It can't be rushed. This requires patience," Keva said gently, her gaze full of sympathy. "I'm so sorry."Patience was something Cara no longer had. She had lost her job for the past three days, and she knew that if this situation continued, unemployment would be a certainty. Cara tried to hold back her tears, but the pent-up emotions made it impossible. Seeing her patient's suffering, Keva felt guilty. She tried to ease her worries by removing the biggest concern from Cara's mind."The family of the person who caused the accident has committed to covering all your treatment costs. So, you don't need to wo

    That evening, Alden gradually regained his composure thanks to his mother’s comfort and encouragement. He tried his best to please her, but deep down, the wounds in his heart couldn’t heal overnight. Trust, once broken, was difficult to restore—especially trust in a person. That was the obsession Alden had never been able to let go of. People called him stubborn, but only those who had experienced the pain of betrayal could truly understand his feelings.At that moment, the four members of the family were seated around the kitchen table, waiting for Keva to arrive."Sorry, everyone, I’m late."Keva stepped in, led by a housekeeper to the room where the Helen family was waiting. When she met her future in-laws, she bowed politely, apologizing for not arriving on time."We’re going to be family sooner or later, no need to be too formal."Gavin’s mother smiled warmly, welcoming her future daughter-in-law. Although Keva did not come from an ultra-wealthy background, her family was part of

    Although he felt that he had no right to express his objections, Alden could not ignore the lack of interest in the family's affairs. He doesn't want to be a cause of trouble for his parents."Keva, where does the girl named Cara work?"Alden asked, wanting to learn more information about Cara to prevent uncertainties and risks. I think she has to earn a lot of money to go to a famous university like Nelson. Alden forgot the detail Keva mentioned earlier. Cara is being helped by the homeless association, to continue pursuing her dream. But talking about her profession has nothing to hide, Cara has done nothing wrong, or broken the law."Cara works as a seasonal worker at the Big Star Club."Keva replied, secretly guessing what everyone was looking at her thinking, the girl quickly explained:"Before judging, I would like to confirm that she does administrative work, mainly handling papers and invoices. Just that and nothing else. That's what she assured me and will be confirmed by Jac

    Cara looked at everyone in turn with a wary expression. Objectively, the woman seems to be a good person. Her husband stood further away, his face ferocious. Gavin with long sideburns, after a moment of seriousness, smiled friendly at her. While Alden looked at Cara as if trying to unravel who she was. The truth is that his eyes can't see anything, Alden is just trying to prove that his life is fine even without seeing the light. And looking ahead is a very normal reaction. But his cold appearance made Cara think of scary things.All of them were very strange to Cara. In terms of level, both sides are like heaven and an abyss. Usually, people with money made her cautious. Because Cara knows that ten rich people out of nine despise the poor, inferior to them. She was also treated rudely and severely scorned when living with homeless old men. At that time, when people saw her naughty person, they criticized her cards badly. Being kicked out is a very common thing that Cara has encounter

    "Ah, there's more." Cara almost forgot an important detail, just hastily added, making everyone look at her nervously to listen: "Don't forget to pay the hospital bills. I don't have money, so I rely on everyone. People."Finally, Cara lowered her head, the movement was so fast that her forehead hit the table. The loud pop startled Alden, while the two women cried out in alarm."Cara." Keva followed the doctor's response, proceeding to check on the patient's condition."Oh my god." Alden's mother kindly asked, "Does it hurt?"Cara slowly raised her face to look up, her mind was so dizzy that she saw everything dimly at first. Alden's mother was saddened to see her high, broad, red forehead. Just now, needless to say, everyone knows how painful her forehead feels.Before the concerned gazes of the two women. She was moved to cry. Cara remembered the question and shook her head and said no, but her brows furrowed."I'm fine, just a little headache."Cara smiled innocently, her smile rea

    At Alden's intense reaction, Gavin softened his tone and tried to calm him down:"Come on, Alden, calm down. You're overreacting. I'm just asking questions, I don't mean to offend you.""You’re making me angry," Alden snapped immediately."I’m sorry for that," Gavin apologized sincerely."I’m not just going to let you off the hook so easily," Alden pouted, deliberately making demands. "Unless you do something to make me feel better.""Don’t be so petty, Alden," Gavin chuckled but then turned serious. "But fine, I’ll agree to something—if it makes sense."Hearing this, Alden’s expression brightened a little. He eagerly made a suggestion:"If you can, then maybe you could—""Let’s put that aside for now," Gavin suddenly cut him off, leaving Alden feeling disappointed. "Right now, I need your help to clarify something."Alden furrowed his brow, clearly displeased at being interrupted. "What is it?""Did you intentionally leave Cara alone with Dante, or was it by accident?" Gavin asked sud

    Alden had thought that no one would care or even notice his absence. Everyone was focused on Cara. So, when Gavin knocked on the door and suggested a quick chat, Alden was somewhat surprised."Alden, it’s me, Gavin. Can I come in?"Alden was about to refuse but quickly understood Gavin’s nature—once he wanted something, he would get it no matter what. Reluctantly, he agreed."Come in."As soon as he got permission, Gavin opened the door and stepped in.Alden didn’t even bother trying to guess why Gavin had come. To be honest, he didn’t care. Right now, everything seemed meaningless to Alden. He didn’t want to talk, nor did he want to do anything else—he just wanted to sink into the solitude of darkness and let the pain gnaw at his soul.“The room’s so dark. Why don’t you turn on the light?” Gavin asked.A rather unnecessary question. Alden frowned. Did Gavin forget that he was blind? Whether the light was on or not made no difference.“I prefer it this way,” Alden replied indifferently

    "Alden!" Gavin snapped at his younger brother as soon as he heard him speak. "Don’t talk nonsense. Making baseless accusations without solid proof can have terrible consequences, do you understand?""I'm just saying what needs to be said," Alden shrugged indifferently. "How can we truly know what’s in someone’s heart? Not even the gods can see everything, let alone mortals. It's better to double-check, just to be sure. What's so wrong with that?"Although Gavin didn’t appreciate Alden’s insolent attitude, he couldn’t completely dismiss what his brother said. After all, Alden wasn’t entirely wrong. Everyone has their own perspective—sometimes flawed, but still worth acknowledging. Still, Gavin had no desire to argue with him right now. He turned to his parents.“Cara is probably still somewhere around here. We just need to go find her,” Gavin suggested. “I’m sure we’ll find her, so please don’t worry, Mom.”"That's right. We should split up and look for her," Anna agreed, and the other

    At the same time, in the living room.Mrs. Agatha was enthusiastically chatting with her husband and eldest son about the Helen family's upcoming vacation. After some discussion, they agreed to travel to Paris. As she stepped into the luxurious mansion, she planned to find her youngest son and Cara to share the good news.Normally, around this hour, Cara would be in the kitchen chatting with the maids, but today the house felt strangely quiet."Anna," Mrs. Agatha called out to one of the maids. "Where are Alden and Cara?"Anna hesitated slightly, her expression somewhat tense. "Miss Cara... is in her room, ma’am. I think she’s asleep.""Think?" Mrs. Agatha raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with suspicion."I’ve gone to her room several times, but Cara hasn’t responded. The door is locked," Anna explained cautiously. "So I assumed she’s sleeping."Sleeping? At 3 p.m.? That was truly odd."And Alden?" Mrs. Agatha pressed on."He’s in his room as well."Mrs. Agatha frowned slightly. "Wha

    As soon as they entered her room, Cara quickly dismissed Dante."Thanks, Dante. I’ll take my medicine and get some sleep.""I’ll help you.""That’s not necessary."But Dante ignored her words. He bent down, lifted her from the wheelchair, and gently laid her on the bed."The bed is too big, Cara," Dante remarked, his voice tinged with seduction as he sat down beside her."Yes, Mrs. Agatha thought it would be better for me," Cara replied calmly."You’re so beautiful, Cara. And you smell so good," Dante whispered, lowering his voice as he leaned closer."Dante, I really need to rest." Cara shifted away, her voice growing colder.But he didn’t care. Suddenly, he leaned in and kissed her.Cara panicked, trying to push him away, but he was taller and stronger. Helplessness surged inside her, making fear flare in her chest. His breath against her skin made her shudder. In a burst of panic, Cara kicked him hard.Caught off guard, Dante recoiled slightly. Then he chuckled, his eyes gleaming wi

    "Did you know Emma used to be a stripper at a nightclub before she pretended to be a nurse just to get close to you?"Alden ignored Lyna at first, but her question immediately caught his attention."What the hell are you talking about?" Alden asked urgently, his voice tense. "How could that be true?""Judging by your reaction, it's clear you had no idea." Lyna smirked, her voice laced with sarcasm. "I have to admit, Emma is good at hiding things. She managed to fool even you – someone known for being suspicious and sharp. Or maybe… you’re just a fool?"Alden suddenly became agitated. He grabbed Lyna by the shoulders, his grip firm and accusatory. Though he couldn't see her, he grasped her with surprising precision."Speak. Is what you just said true?" Alden demanded, his tone cold and terrifying enough to make Lyna flinch for a moment."Talk!" he snapped impatiently when she hesitated."It’s true," Lyna finally admitted hesitantly, regaining her composure. "I met Emma back when she was

    Dante didn’t seem to care at all about her clear attempt to avoid him. He tilted his head, a dangerous smile playing on his lips."You’re truly beautiful. I’ve never seen a girl as stunning as you."His voice dripped with flattery, the words so insincere that Cara could hardly suppress a bitter laugh. But she held herself back, maintaining a calm expression."Thank you for the compliment. But I think you're going a bit too far," she said, trying to keep her tone polite, while reaching for a piece of cake, pretending to focus on it to avoid his predatory gaze.But he wouldn’t let up."I’m speaking from the heart," Dante emphasized, his voice slightly insistent. He was trying to earn her trust, using any trick he could. If possible, he would probably swear an oath right now."Yes, I’m very flattered," Cara responded indifferently, making an effort to keep her distance.Dealing with Dante was exhausting. She silently wished for someone to show up and rescue her from this situation. Normal

    "So, it turns out your mother brought her home," Lyna exclaimed, a bit surprised. Deep down, she hadn’t expected Alden to come up with such a clever response. By passing it off onto Mrs. Agatha, the issue was effectively resolved. No one would dare challenge or criticize the actions of the former judge."That's right. Thanks to the kindness of Madam, I have the privilege of staying here." Cara responded this time. She genuinely appreciated the Helen family."And how long will you stay here?" Lyna continued her probing. She wasn’t going to waste time fighting with Cara. Lyna knew Cara wasn’t the type for Alden, but life—who could predict what would happen? Over time, even a distant relationship could grow closer. Having Alden so close to Cara made Lyna uneasy. What starts as unfamiliar could turn familiar; what isn’t intimate might become so."Maybe until I recover," Cara answered briefly. In truth, she hadn’t thought that far ahead. For now, she was focused on the present, concentratin

    Alden just wanted to rest, so he intended to return to his room. However, Dante and Lyna wouldn’t let him have peace. They insisted on pulling Alden into the living room to talk. The truth was, Dante didn’t care whether Alden stayed hidden in his room or not; his main goal was to see Cara. What he wanted most was some private time with her.But unlike Dante, Lyna was eager to see Alden again after a long time apart. She was in love with him, though her feelings had never been returned. When Alden married Emma, Lyna cursed that the marriage would fall apart quickly. And as she had hoped, Alden and Emma did get divorced. As soon as she heard the news, Lyna rushed back from abroad, hoping she could be by Alden’s side once more. Today, she came here with Dante, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity. Lyna believed that, in Alden’s moment of grief, she was the one who could soothe his heart.Now, in the living room, the atmosphere was heavy with silence. Alden, Dante, and Lyna all rem
