Dwight knew he was being selfish. He couldn't offer Halsey anything; and yet, he held her tightly in his arms, afraid of losing her more than anything.Halsey raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck. "You're mine! Do you hear me?"She said he was hers!It was a possessive claim, one that came from the depths of her heart.Dwight cupped the back of her head and pulled her into a kiss, their lips meeting in a brief, tender press. It was a soft kiss, one that ended almost as soon as it began. Halsey settled back against him, content and trusting."Go to sleep," Dwight whispered.Halsey, feeling her eyelids grow heavy, closed her eyes and soon drifted into sleep. When she woke up, Dwight was already gone. The first day of Madeline's midterms had begun, and Halsey took her to the exam hall. The exams went smoothly; when Madeline went back home to calculate her estimated score, it came out nearly perfect.Back in the day, Dwight had been the top science student in the sta

Halsey froze in place, completely stunned. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Dwight was really marrying Rachel!How could this be?Gilbert sneered. "Do you believe me now? This is Dwight and Rachel's wedding!"Halsey shook her head in disbelief, stepping back a little.Inside, the host walked up to the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the wedding of Mr. Garner and Ms. Field. Now, I declare the wedding officially begun. Please welcome the bride and groom."The lights inside dimmed quickly, and the soft notes of "Wedding March" echoed through the hall. Rachel, arm-in-arm with Dwight, walked slowly down the red carpet. Together, they reached the altar.The pastor looked at them. "Ms. Field, do you take Mr. Garner as your husband, to love and cherish him, in wealth or poverty, in sickness or health, as long as you both shall live?"Rachel blushed and replied, "I do."The pastor turned to Dwight. "Mr. Garner, do

Rachel's lips curved into a victorious smile.Dwight and Rachel stood once more in front of the pastor. The pastor turned to Dwight and asked, "Mr. Garner, do you take Ms. Field to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in poverty or wealth, in sickness and health, for as long as you both shall live?"Dwight looked at the pastor and replied, "I do."The words echoed in Halsey's ears, each syllable ringing like a bell. Her entire body felt numb; for a moment, the world around her seemed to fade away.Gilbert's voice broke through the haze. "See? Dwight is marrying Rachel. He never loved you. It was all just you living in your fantasy! You were the only one fooling yourself, always giving and getting nothing in return."Tears fell in a steady stream down Halsey's face as the pastor inside continued, "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may exchange rings."A flower girl brought forward a pair of diamond rings. Rachel carefully slid the

Jenson immediately shook his head in an attempt to show his loyalty. "No, it's not me! I've followed you for years—how could I be working with the police?""Well, if it's not you, then it must be you!" Phantom shot a finger at Dwight.Dwight stood still, his gaze cold and resolute as he locked eyes with Phantom. Without a word, he reached behind his head, pulling out a hidden tracker and listening device. "That's right. It was me. Everything you just said was transmitted directly to the police. The label of drug dealer on my father's name—it's time to take that off. The one thing he never got the chance to say, I'm here to tell the world for him: he was a narcotics officer!"Jenson was stunned. "Y-Your father was..."Phantom's face darkened. "I knew it—your eyes...they were just like his! You're his son!""Yes," Dwight replied, his voice steady. "He was my father."Jenson's eyes widened in realization. "So you were lying to me all along! You didn't want to marry my daughter—you

Madeline's pale eyes were suddenly filled with tears. After Tina passed away, she had never imagined that she would have a home again.And now, she had a sister and a father.It was something she never dared to dream of."Halsey..."Halsey gently wiped the tears from Madeline's cheeks. "From now on, I'm your sister. Welcome to our family. I'll protect you, and when you grow up and do well, you'll protect me too, right? We're a family now."Madeline nodded through her tears. "Yeah, a family!"Dwight stood outside the gate, watching the scene unfold. His eyes reddened—he didn't expect Halsey to officially bring his sister into the Lincoln family.Two maids walked by, quietly discussing. "Maddy is really lucky! She's met Ms. Halsey and is now part of the Lincoln family. It's like she's turned her fate around.""For a young girl, having the Lincoln family as a backing is the best thing in life.""From now on, we can't call her Maddy anymore. We'll call her Ms. Madeline."The maid
