He knew better than anyone that the catastrophe that had wiped out Hollowlight Sect had to have something darker behind it. On the bed, Rafael had finally started to settle down. His eyes were still red around the edges, and there were tears that he hadn't wiped away. He could still feel the warmth of his brothers' hands from when they'd recognized each other. He'd been leaning back against the head of the bed. After hearing what Aria said, his body slowly straightened up. One of his hands fisted into the blanket hard enough that his knuckles went pale. There was still some fatigue of just having woken up on his face, but his eyes had gone sharp in an instant. His proud and fierce self from his past life had risen back up as he stared at Aria. His head was full of questions about what had happened to the sect and about who had really been behind the catastro
Off to the side, Landon let his jaw slowly relax as he watched the whole thing. There was nothing but care and relief in his eyes. He stepped forward without saying a word and slipped an arm around Aria's shoulders to give her something to lean on. He was offering his own silent blessing to Aria and Rafael after everything they'd been through across both their lives. On the bed, Rafael gripped Aria's hand back hard. His body was still weak, but there was nothing weak about the look in his eyes. He looked at Aria and made himself a quiet promise. In this life, he would be both her older brother and her fellow apprentice from Hollowlight Sect. It didn't matter whether it was the life before or the one they were living now, and it didn't matter what hell they had to walk through. He would keep her safe and stay with her through all of it. Together, they would set right every regret and hold on to everyone who mattered, and nothing would ever pull them apart again. Out in the hal
Rafael had never met any of these people or been part of any of these events. The warmth of those days and the brutal endings that came after were not his to live through. And yet all of it sat inside him as if it had been there since the day he was born. Every scene, every look on his fellow apprentices' faces, and the words they had shared all came back to him with painful clarity. He finally understood that this wasn't someone else's story. It was his own past life. They were memories sealed in the deepest part of his soul, the kind that no number of lifetimes would ever be enough to erase. The warmth had been the happiness he once held, and the pain had been a regret he could never make right. As for the young woman he had shielded behind his back, she was the fellow apprentice he had given his life to protect in that past life and ultimately failed to save. She had come back to him in this life as Aria, the sister he doted on with everything he had. So the stories in those
Landon held Aria's hand tightly, applying gentle pressure with his fingertips to reassure her silently. He spoke softly. "The hospital has been updating us on his condition the entire time. The ambulance just arrived, and they're running tests now. If we head over now, the timing will be perfect."Landon had already arranged everything in advance. The moment he learned that Rafael had fallen unconscious, he contacted the hospital's best doctors and personally oversaw every step of the examination process. He didn't want Aria worrying more than necessary.When Aria heard that, her concern for Rafael deepened; her brows furrowed slightly, and anxiety flickered in her eyes. She still remembered what Fergus and Elijah had gone through when their memories awakened. It had not been an easy process. She feared Rafael might suffer even more. She tightened her grip on Landon's hand, her voice soft but filled with concern. "I just hope Rafael is only feeling unwell. If he's going through w
All the racers stood with their heads lowered in shame and embarrassment. Their earlier arrogance was completely gone, leaving behind only the humiliation of defeat. The racers wished they could disappear beneath the crowd's mocking, contemptuous stares. Not a single one of them spoke. They quietly tended to their race cars, not even daring to look up and meet Aria's eyes. They had gone to great lengths and used every underhanded tactic they could think of to bring Aria down. In the end, it all ended in crushing defeat. They not only lost the race but also their dignity as competitors. They had become the laughingstock of the entire event.On the podium, Aria stood at the very top, holding the heavy championship trophy in her hands. A gold medal hung around her neck. All eyes were fixed on her, and the cheers never stopped. She looked out over the crowd below. Her expression was calm, yet she carried a commanding presence. The defeated racers beneath the podium never once lifted
The shouts from the audience abruptly fell silent. Everyone clenched their fists, their breaths caught in their throats. The reporters locked their cameras onto the two cars, clicking their shutters furiously, afraid to miss a single second of the heart-stopping duel.Landon stood in the viewing area with his eyes fixed on Aria's car. His expression remained calm, almost indifferent, as though he had already anticipated the outcome.At the critical moment, Aria's focus sharpened completely. She saw through Hadrian's malicious intentions and heard the sharp screech of tires behind her. She didn't hesitate for even a fraction of a second.Her right hand kept the steering wheel steady while her left instantly activated the half nitrous boost. She released only half the power—enough to maintain speed while still allowing for a rapid directional change.At the same time, her right foot precisely controlled the throttle while her left lightly tapped the brake before releasing it immedi
The crowd buzzed with conversation while Durand's lackeys eagerly chimed in. After all, they had only joined the Chamber of Commerce to make money. "Back when the Grisham family was in charge, they blocked every opportunity to profit. And now? Even their distributors are in trouble. My friend said
"Dr. Helm is the deputy head of the Department of Infectious Diseases in your hospital, isn't he?" Callum was thrown into a panic—he'd had an argument with Caspar and driven him out of the hospital just a few hours ago. When Aria brought Caspar up, he realized something had gone really wrong. Ar
Although the patients in the ward heard Alexa's cries, they ignored her. The hidden passage closed up after the surgeon dragged Alexa inside. Once they were through, he loosened his grip on her."Can't you do your rounds like normal instead of snooping around the pharmacy? You Farshyans are alw
As Ethereal Echoes filled the air, something in Aria's memory began to take shape. She pressed her hand against her forehead, her eyes darkening. The lingering Ethereal Echoes seemed to buzz in her mind, urging her to follow the Divine Laws. But her lips curled into a smirk. "Why should I bow to t
