Author: Dayless Reverie
Samuel's POV

Rosa had clearly been waiting for a long time.

Several empty coffee cups were scattered outside her car window. Her usually immaculate hair was a mess, and her eyes were bloodshot.

The second she saw me step out, she practically scrambled out of the car. "Samuel."

I pulled my gaze back and started walking toward the bus stop.

She hastened to follow, staying exactly one step behind me.

She didn't grab me or block my path. "I know you don't want to see me. But there are things I

    Samuel's POVIn the days that followed, they stopped showing up downstairs. Yet their traces remained everywhere.Every few days, another letter would land in my mailbox—sometimes thick, sometimes thin, in varying handwriting.I didn't open a single one. Instead, I gathered them for a week before throwing them away all at once.The research team's group email occasionally received messages bearing my name from Lilith.I set up an automatic filter to route them straight to the bin.The only moment I felt a flicker of hesitation was when a package arrived from my hometown.Opening it, I found my childhood photo album inside. A note written by Dad was tucked into the first page. "These belong solely to you. We've lost too much, but at least we can return this."I flipped through a few pages.There was a photo of me riding on Dad's shoulders at three years old and another of Mom smiling broadly beside me when I won an elementary school award.Back then, Xander hadn't been diagnos

"Samuel."I pulled my gaze back and started walking toward the bus stop.She hastened to follow, staying exactly one step behind me.She didn't grab me or block my path. "I know you don't want to see me. But there are things I have to tell you in person."I didn't slow down.As she followed beside me, her voice dropped low. "You were the one who saved me that day. I had the wrong person all along. If only I'd asked for your name back then, none of this would have happened."I paused and cast a glance at her.Under the morning light, her face looked drained and exhausted. It was a far cry from the spirited woman who stood before me five years ago, promising to protect me.I spoke in a flat tone. "And?"Rosa froz

    Samuel's POVAnother week went by.I thought they would gradually give up.Yet when I returned from the institute that evening, a figure was standing outside the apartment building.It was Mom.She looked noticeably thinner than the last time I saw her. Her eyes were swollen and red, and she was carrying a thermos in her hands.The moment she caught sight of me, she stumbled forward a step. "Samuel—"I stopped ten feet away, refusing to step any closer. "How did you find this place?"Mom wiped her tears, her voice deeply raspy. "Your mentor wouldn't tell us. Your dad had to ask around your old classmates to get this address."I made your favorite pumpkin soup. You're out here all alone, and your body suffered such severe injuries. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been biased, and I shouldn't have helped Xander hide things from you."When she took another step forward, I took a step back.Mom froze.I looked at her and replied calmly, "Mom, back when you faked a heart condition t

    Samuel's POVAutumn in Cyrenth arrived earlier than expected.Bundled in my coat, I sat in a corner of the architecture institute, organizing blueprints.Outside the window, most of the sycamore leaves had turned yellow under the faint sunlight.It had been two weeks since I moved to Cyrenth.My mentor, Lauren Hunt, didn't ask why I suddenly changed my mind. She simply handed me the keys to her spare apartment."Get settled in first. No rush. Focus on resting up before getting back to work."She probably noticed I was in rough shape, so for the first few days, she assigned me only basic support tasks.Although losing my spleen left me weaker than before and my wound still throbbed with a dull ache, it was a massive improvement from the day I stepped off the plane.That day, a cab driver had to support me into the emergency room for a follow-up.Seeing my pale face and the cold sweat beading it, he obstinately refused to let me pay the fare.A total stranger in Cyrenth showed

"Are you a family member of the victim?""I'm his fiancee."The officer slid a copy of the police report across the counter toward her."The victim was dragged into an underground garage by a psychotic debt-collecting gang.

According to the investigation, the victim had no outstanding debts. The suspects involved have been apprehended."Harley's hands began to tremble.Adam stood frozen as well.
