Willow parked the car at Mount Draconis Cemetery's entrance. The cemetery was spooky at night with no one working their shift at the guardhouse. The guards were probably certain that no one would come here in the middle of the night.In the car, she called Iris. "I'm here."Iris sounded very careful. "Did you come alone?""You can come and check if you don't believe me.""There's no need for that. I trust that you won't risk your daughter's life. Get out of the car. I put the stuff at your daughter's grave. You can go and find it yourself."Willow glanced outside the car. It was pitch black and foggy at Mount Draconis at night. The cemetery appeared even quieter and creepier as if a wandering apparition would show up at any moment. Willow felt chills down her spine although she never believed in spiritual beings.She followed the stone stairs and made her way up the hill. The moonlight was concealed by the trees as it cast shadows on the ground. Some noises were coming from the b

Theodore brought Willow back to Bassett Villa.Willow was out of it during the entire ride home. Only when they arrived did she look outside the car to realize that they reached Bassett Villa. Her gaze darkened and she said with little emotion, "You can take me to the hotel.""Will you look at yourself? How are you staying at a hotel in this state?" Theodore ignored her rejection and carried her out of the car."I can walk on my own.""Don't move."There was a hint of anger in his voice. He had been holding himself back the whole ride waiting for Willow to tell him the truth. However, she never did.Willow somehow felt uneasy when she saw his grim expression."Mr. Theodore, you're back." Kathy came out from her room in a jacket. She was stunned when she saw Willow in Theodore's arms. "This is… Madam Willow?" She gasped. She thought she was seeing things.Willow's cheeks turned pink as she lay in Theodore's embrace. Although she felt awkward, she greeted Kathy regardless."

Willow tried to make sense of the incident to no avail. Maybe the warm bath was too comfortable, but she had been so tired after going two days without proper rest that she started to relax and eventually fell asleep.Outside the bathroom, Theodore went onto the balcony with his phone. He looked tall and dashing under the moonlight.Sean was on the other end of the call. "Mr. Bassett, I just got news from the security team at Mount Draconis Cemetery. They said that the parking lot's surveillance camera had been malfunctioning since three days ago and they couldn't capture any footage.""What a coincidence, huh?""It smells fishy to me too. However, there are so many entrances and exits to the cemetery that, even with the cameras, it might not be easy to track."Theodore thought for a moment and asked, "When's your mentor returning?"There was a brief pause before the voice on the other end replied, sounding a bit down, "He should be back tomorrow morning."Once the call ended, S

After washing up, Willow, who was wrapped in a towel, headed to the dressing room for clothes. She thought that the dressing room would also remain unchanged just like the other places in this room. After all, her expired skincare products had been left untouched.Despite this, she was dumbstruck at the sight in front of her. In the dressing room were many new clothes with their price tags still intact. The neatly arranged wardrobe included attire for all seasons and styles. There were also matching necklaces, earrings, and bracelets in the accessories drawer.Willow's eyes narrowed in shock. She simply chose two pieces of clothing and got herself changed.…Theodore was having breakfast downstairs when Willow arrived."Good morning, Madam Willow," Kathy greeted Willow, who had come downstairs. "Be careful. Are your injuries okay now?"Theodore put his magazine down and wanted to hold Willow, but she dodged him. Willow did not even spare him a glance. Instead, she smiled at K

Theodore accepted the call right in front of Willow with no intention of hiding anything from her. "Hello?""Theodore, I just got off the plane, but I can't make it in the afternoon to the company to report for work. I've got something going on.""There's no rush. You just came back, so you can take some time off to recover from jet lag. Go home and rest for half a day.""I don't need to rest. I'm just letting you know that I'll be heading over to check out the site."Theodore looked up at Willow. "Your sister is with me right now. Do you want to talk to her?"Willow, who had been fully focused on eavesdropping on their conversation, coughed awkwardly when she heard this. She straightened her back and pretentiously took a sip of water.She couldn't hear what Cedar said on the other side of the call, but Theodore hung up after saying, "Okay."Cedar obviously did not want to talk to her.Theodore continued drinking coffee after hanging up. He had no plans of explaining what happe
