Chapter 301

Author: Zesty Zing
Only after they met did Clara discover he had been her junior back in elementary school. He was adorable, the sweet, gentle type, like a puppy in human form.

Under normal circumstances, she would never have given him a second glance. But that period of her life had been different. Everything with Oscar had left her burning inside. She had spent days at the Chamberlain residence without eating or sleeping.

Eventually, Amara told her to get out of the house and take a walk. That was how she ran

    Giana's question made Elara tilt her head in thought."I know!" She clapped her hands together, grabbed Giana's arm, and set off at once."Hey... wait..."Giana found herself questioning the nature of reality. How was she, the healthy one, struggling to keep up with someone who was supposed to be unwell?Elara's destination was a bookshop. It was a perfectly ordinary store on an ordinary street. It sold books, but also everything else, from stationery and souvenirs to small toys and miscellaneous odds and ends.Giana didn't spend much time in shops. She preferred cafés and lounges, the kind of places where you could sit for hours without anyone noticing.She loved reading, but she had never warmed to bookshops. Most of her books came from online orders. More often than not, she read on a screen. The only paper books she bought in person were the ones that felt worth owning, worth returning to.As a result, she found the place oddly disorienting, and a low-level anxiety settled o

    Oscar's gaze settled on the rear of the Chamberlain villa. The family hall stood there, and Arthur's remains rested inside.He looked at the cold, silent building, and something hollow stirred within him. During his lifetime, Arthur had given a great deal to this city.He had been revered. Silverton had granted him a special dispensation, allowing his body to remain uncremated. The house Oscar had built for him had become something of a landmark, a place people came to visit.And Oscar himself? No children. No lasting contribution. He would probably die and vanish into the cold wind without leaving a trace behind."Something's happening down there. Looks like a conflict."He had been watching when someone burst out of the villa below. The figure's back looked vaguely familiar, but from this distance, he couldn't make out who it was.Beside him, Sirius had raised a pair of binoculars and was studying the villa with quiet interest. "A girl just ran out of the house. Let me see... I

    Jason lay on the floor groaning, but no one paid him any attention.The sisters stepped over him and watched Elara's retreating figure with concern."Giana, go after Elara. Whatever she wants to do, go along with it.""Yes, got it." Giana ran after her.Diana stopped mid-step. "Someone should check on Jason."With a resigned sigh, she crouched beside him. "You'll be fine. She didn't use her full force. The pain will pass."Jason squeezed his eyes shut.'Fine? It feels as though something has shattered inside me!' He kept that thought to himself. He had brought this on himself. He deserved it.Diana looked at Amara anxiously. "Amara, when Elara comes back and sees Jason again..."Amara glanced at Jason. The disappointment in her eyes was unmistakable. Whatever his bloodline, he had failed to build a real relationship with any of his sisters except her. That simply wasn't good enough.She closed her eyes and considered the situation for a moment. "Jason, I'm sorry to ask this o

    Diana cut in before Amara could answer, her voice gentle as she settled Elara back into her seat.Elara frowned. "What unconscious? What are you two talking about?""Nothing. Nothing at all," Amara answered smoothly, her tone calm and reassuring as she steered the conversation away from the subject.However, Elara was not ready to let it go. "It doesn't make sense. Oscar is always here waiting for me. Every single time I come home, he's right there. If something's wrong with me, he's right there for that too. How could anything pull him away? He revolves around me. He revolves around all of us."She spoke without thinking. Diana and Giana heard every word, and before they knew it, they were back in those years.Whenever pain needed somewhere to go, Oscar was there. Whenever something good happened and needed to be shared, Oscar was there. Whenever anxiety and helplessness closed in, Oscar was there too.There were too many times to count. He had orbited the sisters as naturally a

    Elara's footsteps echoed down the hallway as she hurried toward her room.Before her hospitalization, she and Freya had shared Diana's room. It had made it easier for the two girls to be cared for together.The moment Elara disappeared from sight, Amara and Diana exchanged a look.Diana drew herself up and said what needed to be said. "Elara has selective amnesia. It's connected to her convulsive condition. Her mind instinctively sealed away the memories that triggered the episode."We can't agitate her right now. We go along with whatever she says. If we push her, she may be forced to relive what caused her collapse, and she'll fall unconscious again."Amara's brow remained furrowed. She was worried, and she was exhausted. She had thought waking up one more pair of hands would ease the burden. Instead, another responsibility had awakened.The family's situation was nothing like it had been before. How were they supposed to keep Elara from learning any of it?Amara was too proud

    Jason's position was even simpler. It didn't matter which sister Stanley married. As long as the family's assets remained intact, Stanley could marry all of them for all he cared. He would happily support any arrangement. That way, none of them would be around to claim a share of the inheritance."Jason, in a few days we'll be holding both my engagement and your naming ceremony." Spend some time with Giana before then. Learn what you need to know. Make sure you don't..." Amara stopped mid-sentence, her eyes widening in shock. "Elara! You're awake!"Diana and Giana spun around.Standing behind them in a hospital gown was Elara. None of them had heard her come downstairs. The days she had spent in bed had left her thin, but her eyes were brighter than before, glistening with tears."Amara, Diana, Giana."The four sisters came together and embraced."Thank God, Elara. We're so glad you're back."Smiling, Amara pointed toward Jason. "The naming ceremony is in a few days. I was just
