Silence lingered in the hospital room, so complete that even the distant chime of the hallway clock seemed unusually clear.

Elias looked around at everyone. His eyes, usually calm and composed, now carried a heaviness that could not be hidden.

“It seems our earlier suspicions were correct,” he finally broke the silence, his voice low and steady. “This Holy Grail truly possesses a power that does not belong to humankind. It can grant wishes—but every wish it fulfills carries an unseen cost.”

Everyone nodded silently.

“Exactly,” Livia murmured, her eyes slightly narrowed as though trying to summon a memory. “And from the way Father acted—from everything he did… it’s clear he really intended to use the Grail to resurrect my mother. But then, why wait all these years? Why has he suddenly become so desperate now?”

She raised her head, looking at the others with a troubled and conflicted expression in her eyes.

“Could it be…” Adrian furrowed his brow, speaking cautiously yet sharply, “that

    The group exchanged a few more thoughts, and although unease about the future still lingered, they ultimately reached a consensus: for now, it was best to stay put and observe. No sudden moves—just silence before the storm.As the atmosphere began to ease slightly, Adrian chuckled and said, “But in just a few more days, Marcellus should be discharged, right?”Elise nodded in agreement, her expression lightening for the first time in a while. “That’s something worth celebrating.”Livia turned to Marcellus, a soft warmth in her eyes. “Yeah. Finally, you won’t have to rot away in this dreary hospital room.”But to their surprise, Marcellus merely glanced around at them, then quietly said, “…No. I’d like to stay here a little longer.”The room went still. Everyone froze.Adrian blinked, uncertain he’d heard correctly. “Did you say… stay?”Elise frowned slightly. “But the doctors said your recovery’s been going remarkably well. Another day or two of observation and you’re good to go. Why w

    “For now, let’s just wait and watch,” Marcellus said, leaning back on the sofa beside the hospital bed, his brow furrowed and voice heavy with concern. “If our suspicions are correct, even if we do nothing, the fragments of the Grail will eventually gather on their own… It seems to be part of its nature.”The room was bathed in soft light, the sunset outside casting the city’s skyline in a faint golden outline. The air was so still, they could almost hear their own heartbeats.He paused, then added in a quieter tone,“And if Edgar really has discovered something, he won’t sit still. He’ll act soon. And Eryx… he’ll be back too, and his surveillance will be even tighter than before. And then there’s… Jim.”He said the last name with a barely perceptible shift in tone—lower, heavier.“Jim,” Livia echoed softly, lifting her gaze toward Marcellus. “How do you think… they even found out about the Grail and all this?”Marcellus didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he slowly turned to look out

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 258 – The Past Too Painful to Remember

    Livia’s gaze swept calmly across the room, finally landing silently on Marcellus.He sat with his head bowed, knuckles pale from the force of his clenched fists. His back trembled—so subtly that anyone else might’ve missed it. To most, he probably just looked grief-stricken and exhausted. But Livia could see more.There was something else beneath the surface.A deep, visceral struggle.He wasn’t crying. He hadn’t spoken a single extra word. But his silence at this moment—was louder than any outburst, more fragile than any sob. It was the kind of silence one reached only when everything inside had shattered and there was nothing left to say.A faint tightening gripped Livia’s chest.She hadn’t failed to notice the shift in him. Hadn’t missed the suppressed turmoil flickering in the depths of his eyes. And she couldn’t shake the feeling that his pain wasn’t just from the revelation of his parents’ deaths—it was something else. Something more personal. More tangled.But she didn’t want t

    The hospital room was silent, everyone lost in their own thoughts.Marcellus, sitting quietly in the corner, seemed almost detached from the room itself.His fingertips were ice-cold, his palms slick with sweat. The veins at his wrist pulsed faintly, and an uncontrollable chill climbed up his spine, as if something long-buried had been uncovered—surging from the depths of his soul and shaking him to his core. His entire body trembled, ever so slightly.Adrian and Elise glanced over, thinking his reaction came from grief—finally learning the truth behind his parents’ death, overwhelmed by sorrow and despair.But only Marcellus knew:What swirled in his mind was not just sadness.It was something far more destructive—an unbearable, earth-shattering truth.The revelations in the diary hit like a hammer striking still water, shattering and reshaping over a decade of memories.From Celesta’s death…To Edgar’s descent into madness…To the scattered shards of the Grail, the rebuilding of the

    “So let me repeat—”Livia stood before the group. Her voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an unmistakable calm and authority.“From now on, aside from the three of us, no one is allowed near the building where the vault is. No exceptions. Not even for something as simple as retrieving supplies—go around.”She paused, letting her eyes sweep across the room, lingering briefly on Elias and Marcellus, then continued:“Even the three of us—only if absolutely necessary. And when we do, we must report our movements and state immediately. No one goes in alone.”“And one more thing—”Her tone grew even more solemn.“Starting tomorrow, the three of us will meet at the hospital every day at noon. Elias and Marcellus will observe and document our condition. If we do fall under its influence, it’ll be caught—and stopped—right away.”No one responded, but everyone nodded firmly, as though holding back a rising tide of unease in their hearts.As Livia finished speaking, a thought nearly escaped her li
