Semua Bab Family’s Regret After I Left: Bab 11 - Bab 18

Someone who truly wants to leave will simply wrap themselves in a coat on an ordinary morning, push open the door, and never return.Like a withered leaf carried away by the wind.No need for goodbyes. Even a single "farewell" would be a waste.Damien covered his face and sobbed openly.He should have realized it earlier. He'd had the premonition all along.From the moment he saw me burn all our photos.That day, though I sat in the courtyard as usual, my eyes were hollow and completely lifeless.If he had just talked to me properly then, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way.No, perhaps from the moment he aided and abetted the Blackwood family in forcing me to give up my anti-silver research, my heart had already died.This was the kind of heart-death that only came after repeated disappointments."No, I have to find her and bring her back."Damien suddenly staggered to his feet. Glass reflected his shattered image, and he didn't even notice the peach branches cutting his sk

Seeing Father about to casually toss the recording device into the trash, Damien immediately stepped forward."Wait. I want to hear what's recorded on this."The Blackwood family's words had reminded him of something important.I had deliberately placed this recording device in a gift box and left it in such a conspicuous place. There had to be a reason."What's there to listen to? It's probably just some curses against us. Too inauspicious. Better to throw it away."Sera unnaturally stood up, trying to remove the tape from the recording device.Her behavior was extremely nervous, completely unlike the composed person she usually was. This impulsive action was totally out of character for her."Stop."Damien wouldn't let her succeed and immediately stepped forward to stop her.As they struggled over the device, Damien managed to press the play button first.After a burst of static, a triumphant voice rang out:"Aria Blackwood, get on your knees and beg me.""I might let Daddy forgive y

Next to a ginkgo tree on the western lawn of the Alliance's secret research facility, I found a warm spot to sit down.The smell of disinfectant from the laboratory still lingered in my nostrils. I unbuttoned my collar, breathing in the fresh outdoor air as I scattered crumbled whole wheat bread to the gray and white flock of pigeons.I had been at this secret research facility for three months now.Once I entered the laboratory, I often stayed for an entire day.The access card in my pocket seemed ready to leave permanent marks on my white lab coat.Such busyness would be unbearable for most people, but for me, after experiencing so many difficulties, this was nothing. I was more fulfilled now than I had ever been in my life.In the laboratory's new drug development team, my partner members were all the greatest healers in the current werewolf world.Although I was currently just an assistant in the laboratory, in these short three months, I had learned more than I had in all my previ

The temperature was so cold it seemed ready to freeze the air into frost.Only when the taste of rust spread between his lips and teeth did Damien realize he had bitten through his lower lip.For this reunion, he had spent twelve full months searching almost every corner of werewolf territory. He had completely neglected all pack affairs, leaving everything to his beta assistant. The elders couldn't bear to watch the former golden boy Damien continue in such a dazed state, so they finally told him where I was.After getting the information, he immediately booked a plane ticket here.He had traveled dusty roads all the way, not even stopping for a drink of water. He just wanted to see the person who haunted his dreams as quickly as possible.However, after meeting me again, he discovered a cruel truth:I was no longer the little childhood friend from his memory who would endlessly tolerate and treat him gently.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find even a trace of affection in m
