Author: Goldfish
Amelia rubbed Evelyn's head. "Winning first place isn't that important. What's more important is your participation."

"No way!" Evelyn said. "You always win first place in competitions. I want to do the same so I won't embarrass you, especially since Nathan is around."

She wanted to be able to hold her head up high.

Amelia chuckled helplessly and pinched Evelyn's cheek gently. "You have such a strong competitive streak at such a young age."

The competition soon officially started. All the ch

    After Amelia finished the soup, Keith handed her a pack of compressed crackers. "Have some of this, too. It'll keep you going. Later, let's check the tents and secure the rain covers. This rain's probably going to get rough."Amelia took the crackers and nodded. "Okay. Thanks for the help."The two of them grabbed flashlights and went from tent to tent, checking each one.As Keith secured the rain covers, he reminded her, "If you hear anything strange from your tent tonight, or if it starts leaking, call me right away. Don't try to deal with it on your own. This isn't the city. Out here, we need to look out for each other.""I got it. Thank you."Amelia felt a quiet sense of gratitude.The conditions on this trip were rough, and Keith had been looking out for her the whole time. He carried the gear, made hot soup, and reminded her of things like this. It made her feel a lot more at ease.By the time they finished checking the tents, a fine drizzle had already started falling,

    The terrain and climate in the forest were unusual.Amelia crouched beside the equipment, a clipboard in hand, carefully recording the temperature and humidity data transmitted back by the drone.Keith stood next to her, adjusting the weather monitoring device. The two of them exchanged a few comments about the data from time to time, working in easy sync."That's the last set of data. We're done for the day." Keith checked his watch and smiled at Amelia. "We've been at it since morning. The sun's almost down. Let's set up the tents before it gets dark, or it'll be a hassle."Amelia nodded. She put away her clipboard and helped him unload the tent gear from the SUV.The wind cut through the forest, loud and restless, mixed with strange calls from wild animals.Other than that, there was nothing.They split the work. Keith handled the tent frame while Amelia laid out the ground mats and sleeping bags. Both moved with practiced ease.By the time the last tent was up, the sky had

    Amelia let out a small sigh, put her phone away, and forced herself to focus on work.At the same time, Christopher was alone in a hotel room.He hadn't left Rivendell the night before. Instead, he checked into a hotel not far from Amelia's place. He wanted to be close enough to feel near her, but he wasn't brave enough to knock on her door again.He leaned back against the headboard, eyes closed. At some point, he drifted off.In the dream, Amelia stood in front of him, her expression cold as she handed him two documents and asked him to sign.He had always trusted her, so he signed without reading them.His voice was distant as he told her not to let her or Evelyn bother him again. After signing, he handed the papers back and walked away.At a dinner party, someone pushed through the crowd and spoke to him."Mr. Zephyr, your wife and daughter were cremated today. Please go to the crematorium to collect the ashes."His heart skipped a beat. He refused to believe it.He drove

    Christopher knew that leaving like this had hurt Amelia and Evelyn again, but he didn't know how to face them.He leaned against the cold wall in the hallway. Only after the tight pressure in his chest slowly eased did he push himself upright.He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.Then he pulled out his phone and called Nigel."Keep a close eye on Jayden. I want to know who he's been meeting with lately and whether there's been any unusual money moving around."Christopher's voice had returned to its usual cool edge, steady and unreadable."And keep track of Gerald's movements. If he's still in Rivendell, let me know right away.""Got it, Mr. Zephyr. I'll have people on it immediately."Nigel's voice came through the phone, sharp and efficient.After hanging up, Christopher stood there, staring down the empty hallway, his thoughts still unsettled.He knew he had been too harsh with Amelia just now, but he didn't know how else to face her. He was afraid his

    "Your body hasn't even recovered, and we don't know if Gerald is still nearby. What if something happens to you out there?" Amelia said, worried.Christopher tried to shake her hand off, but he didn't have the strength.He could feel the warmth of her palm through the thin fabric of his sleeve. It seeped in, slow and steady, and the faint warmth it stirred only made the guilt hit harder."You don't need to worry about that." His voice was tired. "I can handle my own problems.""Christopher, can you stop being so stubborn?" Amelia's brows pulled tight. "You're not alone anymore. You have me, and you have Evie. We're both worried about you. Can you think about us for once?"At the mention of Evelyn, Christopher froze.He thought about last night, about her small voice asking if he was sick, and the way she looked at him, like she wanted him to stay.Something inside him gave way.He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, all that was left was exhaustion and a quiet surrender

    Amelia looked at Christopher and paused.The room fell quiet for a few seconds.Then she spoke, her voice calm. "Okay."As soon as the word left her lips, her eyes locked onto him. "But you need to tell me why you're trying to keep your distance from me. What's really going on in your head? Before this, Jessica told you to stay away from me, told you not to see me again. Is that why your mood's been off? Is it because of me?"Each question landed like a fine needle, pressing into Christopher's chest.His hand at his side tightened slightly as he took a slow breath. "I haven't sorted out my emotions yet. I'm not in a place to answer you right now."He had always been the type to plan everything. Every answer, every decision was thought through, measured out so nothing could go wrong.But now, with the weight of depression dragging him down and everything with the Zephyr family throwing him off balance, he couldn't give her a clear or steady answer.He was used to doing thing

    The next day, Amelia finished up her projects under Institute 511 and prepared to send Evelyn to her kindergarten.Evelyn was old enough to remember her mom's birthday. She gave Amelia a handmade rose the first thing in the morning.Amelia was pleasantly surprised. The handmade rose was exquisite,

    The road ahead for Lincoln was long and arduous.-The moment Amelia landed in Northon, she rushed straight to pick up her daughter.Evelyn rushed out from Institute 511 and threw herself into Amelia's arms. "Mom!"Amelia hauled Evelyn into her arms. "You became heavier! Did you eat a lot during

    Amelia stood up, fully prepared to leave.Just then, Evelyn walked in with a glass of water and some medicine."Mom, Great-grandma told me to bring him some medicine. She wants you to take it and get some sleep. You don't need to go downstairs and eat with everyone else. The servants will bring up

    Jasper smiled helplessly as he reminded Winona, "Alright now, don't give her any more pressure."He then turned to look tenderly at Amelia, "Just do your best. Winning the competition is just icing on the cake. Even if we lose, we wouldn't lose anything."All the more Amelia had to relax before th
