Chris was surprised. They had been staying in this village for almost a month, letting Lena regain her health.Lena was pretty healthy to start with. While she hadn't fully recovered, she didn't need his constant help anymore. He understood why she wanted to go back to Centrolis.She wasn't one to ignore things. She would want to investigate thoroughly because she thought Kaitlyn was planning something. Plus, Kaitlyn might be a danger to the Thompsons. The Thompsons and Lina were like sensitive points for her. Anyone who tried to harm them would suffer serious consequences.Chris felt a pang of bitterness. Suddenly, he recalled a question—"Have you ever risked your life for someone?"This question could not be more appropriate for Lena.He looked at her from the side, his sharp eyes revealing a mix of complex feelings like resentment, sorrow, dissatisfaction, and jealousy.Lena felt tense as he observed her. She had just mentioned returning to Centrolis, so why was his behavior

"S-She is..."Kaitlyn locked eyes with Renee, her gaze revealing an indescribable mix of pain and distress."Mom, don't be afraid." Renee rushed to embrace her mother, feeling the familiar softness of Kaitlyn's hand.But then Renee pulled back, studying Kaitlyn. There was no change—even the white hair by her temples remained the same."Renee, you are in danger. Run, quickly!""Mom?"Kaitlyn's smile remained, but her eyes turned frigid as if she had transformed into someone else. She stared at Renee with a sinister grin, her voice chilling. "Renee, what's the matter?"Renee let go suddenly, retreating several steps."Talk!" Kaitlyn closed in slowly. "So, did you follow me to find this place?""Mom, I..." An icy shiver shot down Renee's spine, her skin prickling with goosebumps. "I was just worried. You hadn't taken your medicine today, so I thought..."Kaitlyn's lips twitched briefly before she resumed her smile. "Ah, I understand.""Mom, when did you get this house? How come

Chris followed Lena into the house. When he saw her locking herself in a room, he secretly went around outside and watched her through the window.He observed her holding the wooden rifle, unwilling to take her eyes off it. Then she took a piece of cloth and carefully wiped it, treating the rifle as a precious treasure.A warm feeling suddenly welled up in Chris' heart, and he smiled unconsciously.At that moment, his phone vibrated, and he hurriedly went away to answer the call.Zuko's deep voice came from the other end. "Professor Adam's in Centrolis. I've contacted him through Uncle Seth and Aunt Zennie, and we'll meet in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. I'll go with Lina… and the truth will likely be revealed soon."The day after tomorrow?" Chris found it a little late. "Why can't he speed things up and make it tomorrow since he's close to Aunt Zennie?""He has a patient tomorrow," Zuko explained. "Doesn't really have the time for us.""A patient?" Chris was surprised a

Renee was already sobbing uncontrollably as she threw herself into her mother's embrace. Kaitlyn's hug was as warm as it used to be, and her hands caressed Renee's hair with the same gentleness."I'm sorry..." Kaitlyn said tearfully, "Mom didn't do that on purpose... I can't control myself."Renee looked at her, and they clung to each other for a long time.In the following days, Renee frequently visited Adam.In addition to preparing to send Kaitlyn to the mental health care facility, she also asked him some nursing-related questions. She had a vague idea in her mind—to personally take care of Kaitlyn."Ms. Thompson, you have to think it through." Adam frowned. "Patients like this need professional caregivers. Going there might only add troubles.""I won't...""It's not as simple as you think," Adam's deep blue eyes held a touch of sympathy and helplessness. "You might think you can stay composed, but when you witness your mother in pain from the treatments, you'll likely lose

"Lena…" He paused. "I don't want you to carry all this alone. I—"Before he could finish, Lena's voice of despair reached his ears. "I don't have a mother anymore, starting today."Chris was taken aback. "What?"Lena shut her eyes, tears streaming down.Later, Chris learned that this was the day Lena's mother was executed.Krystal, known as Madame Krys in the criminal world, was involved in human trafficking and had committed numerous crimes. Despite everything, she remained Lena's only mother in her eyes.Chris held her tightly, gently stroking her hair."I don't have a mother now," Lena whispered. "I really don't. I couldn't even see her one last time. She's gone now..."Chris deeply felt her pain. "Lena, even though you've lost your mother, you still have me."Lena snapped out of her trance, realizing Chris was holding her. She craved his embrace, his scent, the comfort of being near him...But fear surged within her, and she pushed him away, struggling to stand."No, I d
