Calvin didn't want to pressure her. He quickly agreed, "Alright, I'll leave. Don't leave so late at night. I'll send you off tomorrow morning.""Okay," Natalie replied absentmindedly.Seeing her agreement, Calvin didn't dare to make her feel uncomfortable any longer. He quickly left after closing the door behind him.Left alone in the room, Natalie sat back on the sofa, her mind in turmoil. She suddenly didn't know what to do to make everyone alright. She couldn't deny that she liked Calvin, but Gabriel's appearance troubled her. It also made her lose confidence in whether she could continue with Calvin. She was afraid that in the end, everyone would end up wounded, without a perfect ending. She was afraid that Gabriel would harm her child. She was afraid that the Morris family would interfere in her relationship with Calvin. Too many worries made her hesitate, afraid to continue down this path.That night, Nataliecouldn't sleep at all. Before dawn, she quietly packed her t

Inside the wooden house… Seeing that the group outside did not leave and even set up camp, Lena had no choice but to turn and enter the house. Passing through two wooden rooms and crossing a long natural corridor, she entered a hidden world within the cave. Inside, the lights were bright, and the sound of spring water echoed. Countless books were piled up in disorder around, and amidst them sat a man with long white hair, shrouding his features. Only a tall nose bridge and moderately thin lips could be vaguely seen beneath his long hair.He sat with a pile of books in his arms, either recording something with a pen or flipping through them. Hearing footsteps, even without seeing the newcomer, he knew the reason.Without waiting for Lena to speak, the man's low and lazy voice echoed, "Don't mind them. A bunch of merchants with nothing but the smell of copper on them. Time is most precious to them. They'll leave on their own in three to five days."Lena nodded, "Yes, Master."L

Curtis stated that the person inside was a girl pretending to be an old woman, so Margot observed more closely. Seeing her bright eyes fixated on the food in her hand but still deliberately refusing, Margot believed Curtis' words. The person inside was indeed a girl pretending to be an old woman.Margot insisted on handing the food to her. She said, "You should take it and try it. If it doesn't suit your taste, we can make something else for you. Or if you have any preferences, just let us know, and we'll prepare it for you."Unable to resist the temptation of the food, she finally accepted Margot's bowl. "Since you made it for me, I'll eat it. But don't blame me for eating your food if I'm unable to help you.""Don't worry, please enjoy," Margot replied.After accepting the food, Lena quickly closed the door and placed the food on the table. She then began to devour the food. Growing up with her master in this place, Lena had never been outside and had never tasted food from t

In the middle of the night, Lilac suddenly woke up from her dream. She could feel her parents beside her, but she didn't call out to them or wake them up. Somehow, she found herself crawling out of the tent on her own. With small, careful steps guided by the bright moonlight, she moved toward the nearby wooden house. Lilac climbed the stairs, and noticed the two guard dogs lying beside the door. However, the dogs didn't bark at her presence; instead, they allowed her to push the door open and enter.Lena saw the child approaching and took her by the hand. She led her through the corridor to her master. Arriving at his side, Lena nodded respectfully and said, "Master, she has arrived."The white-haired man, Bronson, beckoned her over. Lena brought Lilac before him and then stood aside. Lilac, as if enchanted, stood obediently in front of Bronson. She wasn't scared at all of the ghostly figure before her. She just stared blankly.Bronson took Lilac's small hand and examined

Curtis' subordinates began packing their belongings.Margot couldn't bear Curtis' stubbornness. She stood in front of him once more and said, "Don't be like this. They know your condition, which proves they can truly save you. Besides, it's not bad for me and Lilac to stay here. They can teach Lilac skills, which would be beneficial for her."She pleaded, "Curtis, please listen to me. If you and Anthony can be cured, it won't matter for me and Lilac to live here."The main point was that her and her daughter's stay could save Curtis. If he were to live only one more year, she couldn't accept it.Yet, Curtis' expression remained icy, his stance unwavering as he looked at Margot before him. "Margot, I've had enough of living without you for four years, let alone 17 years. I can't do it."He turned again towards the wooden house, scoffing coldly. "Some miracle doctor he is. I think it's all just a bluff. They want my daughter? Dream on."Curtis then descended the last two steps and
