Anya couldn't believe Roxanne was crying. "What's wrong with you?" All she did was console her, so her reaction really came out of nowhere. She had been angry just moments ago. Furious, even. Anya scratched her head in confusion. "Come on, Roxanne. Don't cry. Was it something I said? But I thought you never wanted to marry him. Why are you crying?" She was panicking. She said nothing wrong, so why was Roxanne shedding tears?Roxanne's eyes were red-rimmed moments later, and tears wouldn't stop coming. Her crying was silent."It's not you, Anya." Roxanne sobbed. "I don't know why, but my chest hurts after the marriage's canceled. It's like I've lost something, and my heart's crying."Then, she started talking gibberish, and it was mixed in with her sobbing. Anya was confused. She couldn't hear her friend through all the sobbing."Shh, it's okay." Hazel pulled Roxanne into her arms, and slowly, she stopped crying. Anya couldn't understand Roxanne's feelings, but Hazel could. Her

Zeke slowly raised his hand, reaching toward Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya…They had wasted all their time on meaningless things, and it had completely ignited his anger. The monster inside him was on the verge of breaking free.But in the next second, he suddenly started coughing violently. When he pulled his hand away from his mouth, it was stained with blood."Zeke! Are you okay?"The three of them were instantly terrified, their expressions changing as they rushed forward to check on him. But Zeke raised a hand to stop them, insisting he was fine and just needed some rest. Then, he turned and went back to his room.He was afraid that if he stayed with them any longer, he really wouldn't be able to stop himself from killing them.As they stared at the closed bedroom door, all three of them felt that something was wrong."Hazel… Is it me, or has Zeke's changed? He doesn't feel like the Zeke we used to know anymore…" Anya said softly.Roxanne nodded in agreement. "I thought so too.

At that moment, Wendy spoke up with a smug look on her face. "Still thinking about stealing the life-saving drug? Do you really think you could pull that off? If Grandpa didn't have absolute confidence, why would he ever tell you something that important?"The realization hit Roxanne instantly. 'That's right! How could I miss something so obvious?'Given her grandfather's caution, if he hadn't already prepared everything in advance, he would never have revealed something as critical as the life-saving drug to her. Otherwise, he would have been practically inviting her to steal it.She had been careless… It was no wonder he had said her colors had finally shown.From the very beginning, her attempt to steal the life-saving drug had been part of her grandfather's calculation. If he hadn't been absolutely sure she wouldn't be able to find it, he never would have brought it up in the first place.Now, one question remained—where was the one place she could never find the life-saving d

Zeke decided to take matters into his own hands.If he continued relying on the three heiresses, he was as good as dead."The priority is to find out where Thaddeus hid the life-saving drug. After that, I'll force Hazel's parents to reveal the source of the energy drug…"His thoughts were clear, but his brows remained tightly furrowed. Neither task would be easy. The most effective approach would be force—but who could he rely on?The last time, he had spent a fortune hiring Mylo, only for the attempt on Evan to turn into a complete fiasco. Now, he no longer trusted any of Silverton's local forces. They were unreliable."No choice… I'll have to contact the organization."A sharp glint flashed through his eyes in the darkness.He was not like the other failed test subjects.Strictly speaking, he had been a success—the only issue was that the radiation from the experiment had severely damaged his body. As long as he could recover, he would immediately be able to return to the org

Sylvie didn't even ask what had happened or why she suddenly needed protection—she agreed immediately. Her mind was filled with what Evan said about needing to protect her. As for the "closely" part, she had conveniently filled that part in herself.Sylvie's eyes lit up as she squealed in excitement. 'This is so sudden! Am I dreaming right now?'Evan had no idea that to Sylvie, his words sounded like something far more than just protection—it practically felt like a step forward in their relationship, even a roundabout confession.'This is happening too suddenly. I'm not ready!'Evan's divorce had only meant that she—and plenty of other women—finally had a chance to pursue him. Actually winning his heart was still supposed to be a long battle. She had already prepared herself for that. And yet, the moment he came home today, he said something like this.Looking at Evan standing right in front of her, Sylvie suddenly felt like crying. She had waited so long to hear those words.
