Ash drove recklessly and reached Riverside Mansion in just ten minutes. When Griffith carried Charlotte upstairs, she was drenched in sweat, and the strands of her wig clung to her face. She appeared utterly lifeless.Griffith harbored some doubts. Would dunking her in cold water be enough to save her?He hurried into the elevator, watching the numbers rise as his heart rate increased rapidly. A familiar yet unfamiliar sensation filled his ears with a painful ringing, the sound oscillating from distant to near. It had been a long time since he had experienced this.The elevator doors opened, and instead of heading to where Ash was, Griffith opened the door to his seldom-used single-story house.Inside, his bathroom was spacious, with a large bathtub that could accommodate more than a dozen people. If filled with water, it would resemble a small swimming pool. The bathtub was currently dry, so he carefully placed Charlotte inside and activated the largest showerhead, which showered

Griffith was going crazy. He knew what she wanted. It wasn't just a result of lust; she merely wanted to possess a living being, to draw a hint of life from him.But he was a normal man, and they had had the most intimate of encounters. Her frenzied kissing was something he couldn't ignore. He couldn't push her away forcefully. Yet, he couldn't allow her to keep kissing him like this. Growing more and more annoyed and frustrated, he finally decided to take control. He pressed her shoulders down and grasped her chin to kiss her back."Mmm..."Cold lips crushed against each other, generating a broken warmth through friction. Charlotte felt great and content, and she clung to his neck, wanting to continue this forever. Griffith, however, didn't feel the same way. After satisfying his need to kiss her lips, he unceremoniously continued to kiss her mouth's corner and moved down to her neck.He took charge, and Charlotte became the one being dominated, feeling an unusual sense of secur

"Brother, did Charlotte get sick?""Yes, she has a fever and needs to take medicine.""In that case, I'll save the slice of cake with the most strawberries for Charlotte."Charlotte overheard this conversation while in a daze and recognized the voices of Ash and Julie. A slight smile formed at the corner of her mouth.Was she sick? With a fever? She felt very hot all over and uncomfortable.She opened her eyes to a warm, dimly lit room, with mostly black and white tones. It had a somewhat morbid atmosphere. Could this be Griffith's room?She attempted to move slightly, but her arm hurt intensely, and then dizziness overwhelmed her. She couldn't muster any strength to move her limbs and fell back onto the bed heavily.She gasped lightly, and fragmented memories started flashing through her mind. Water, chill, kisses, warmth. And those cold and profound eyes that she had looked into while capturing his lips, repeating her plea, "Please, don't leave."She sat stunned on the bed, a

Charlotte was fully aware that she was experiencing an episode, but she had an instinctual urge to deny it.Griffith attempted to pull her away, but she resisted and moved further inside. In their standoff, each time he tugged at her, it resembled trying to coax a cat hiding under a bed. The more he pulled, the more she retreated.Ultimately, he had no choice but to pick her up entirely, which took her by surprise. The man then sat down with her in his lap and held her tightly."Don't move!" he ordered.Charlotte, while breathing heavily, tried to communicate with him. "Griffith, don't worry about me. Let me go; I'm having an episode."Now, she was speaking more coherently. He inquired, "Weren't you stubbornly denying it earlier?""I am sick! I am! Let go of me quickly!" she insisted.Griffith frowned, examining the food remnants on the floor and her uncontrollable behavior. He couldn't help but feel frustrated. "So, if I let you go, you'll eat yourself to death?"Charlotte was

Ever since Griffith had issues with his ears, he had been receiving treatment from Mike, and the old man had a good reputation in both medical skill and ethics. He never disclosed anything about his patients to others, and, to be honest, Griffith held a great deal of respect for him.However, it was a bit awkward to be scrutinized by his elder with the expression that seemed to say, "You actually cheated?""I don't," he replied.Charlotte became displeased and immediately expressed her irritation, raising her voice, "Yes, you do! I know you have a son who is several years old."Griffith was on the brink of going insane, and he firmly held her down. "Who told you that?"Mike sighed and advised him, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, you should comfort her first. She's clearly quite fixated on this issue, and that's why she's been going off the rails during her episodes."Griffith nodded and looked back at Charlotte. "Charlotte, listen to me. Don't think about the child. I do
