All Chapters of Only You, In Every World: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lionel froze for a few seconds, then rushed into the bathroom and gently patted Iris's back."Honey… Are you pregnant?"The excitement he couldn't hide made Iris curl her lips in a bitter half-smile. When the nausea eased, she straightened up, breathing hard."Did you forget? The doctor said I can't have children."Lionel still couldn't hide his hope. "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow anyway. Just in case, right?"He picked up his phone and booked an appointment. Iris opened her mouth, then closed it again. She didn't say anything.The next morning, they went to the hospital fully disguised.It was a private hospital, and the doctor was someone Lionel knew well."Mrs. Potter's uterus suffered severe trauma. Based on the test results, the chance of pregnancy is almost zero."Even though Iris hadn't expected anything, hearing the regret in the doctor's voice still made her chest ache.If she had returned to her original world three years ago after completing the mission, she w

Lionel walked down the corridor, turned into the obstetrics wing, and slipped into the stairwell.Only one door was closed. Iris stood outside it. From where she was, she could clearly see a petite girl with delicate features.It was Pamela.When Lionel saw her, he frowned slightly. "Why are you here?"Pamela pouted and lowered her head, but her eyes tilted up toward him, full of grievance."I woke up before dawn, and you were gone. I got scared."Her eyes were already filling with tears as she spoke.Lionel looked pained. He gently pulled her into his arms."What's there to be scared of? I'm not going anywhere."Pamela rubbed her cheek against his chest. "It's not just that. I missed you."Lionel rubbed the top of her head indulgently. "Since when did you get this clingy?"Pamela didn't answer. She looked up at him like a puppy, her eyes overflowing with affection.That kind of look was dangerous. It was exactly how Iris used to look at him."Lionel, do you love me?"

"Enjoy your dinner. I've got things to take care of at home, so I'm heading out."Iris curled her lips into a smile and walked out of the private room, ignoring everyone's tension. After all, she had only come in to make them uncomfortable.Mission accomplished. Every single one of them ate stiffly, like they were chewing cardboard.Lionel couldn't sit still anymore. He ditched everyone and chased after Iris."Honey, listen to me…" he began. Iris turned back with feigned surprise. "Hm? What's wrong? Isn't this a celebration dinner? You're not staying with your friends?"Lionel stared at her, testing the waters. "You're not angry?"She kept walking and smiled. "What would I be angry about?"Lionel hurried to keep up. "Uh… Pamela sitting next to me was totally an accident. I only love you. I'd never betray you."Iris sounded indifferent. "I know. There were other guys sitting next to her, too. I trust you."She said those words slowly, her smile unreadable.For a split second

Lionel was jolted awake by the phone vibrating nonstop under his pillow.The moment Pamela saw him stir, she threw herself into his arms, shy and clingy."Lionel, were you that exhausted last night? You slept in so late, it's almost noon. We still have plans to go out today."If it were any other time, seeing her like this would have made him pull her close and go in for a second round. But this time, he frowned, an unexplainable panic creeping up his chest.He didn't say anything. He pushed Pamela aside and reached under the pillow for his phone.Four unread messages from Iris, all sent one minute ago.The unease in his chest spiked, his heartbeat racing.He opened them. The first thing he saw was a text. [Goodbye, Lionel. This time, for good.]His pupils shrank, his mind roaring. Goodbye? What did that mean? For good?He hurriedly scrolled up.There was a selfie of Iris at Whalers' Bay.It was an ordinary photo. He could find plenty just like it in their old posts.

Lionel's heart was pounding as he searched the area again, scanning desperately for any sign of Iris.There was nothing.His gaze dulled. He turned back, got into her car, and drove straight to the police station.The officers reviewed the dashcam footage and a wide range of security cameras around Whalers' Bay.The footage showed Iris getting out of the car at 11:53 a.m. She took a selfie, tapped on her phone a few times, then slipped it into her pocket.She walked toward the shoreline, entered a blind spot in the cameras, and never appeared again. She didn't show up on any other cameras after that.There were no transportation records, no hotel check-ins, and no recent financial transactions."There's a very high chance that Mrs. Potter went into the ocean. We'll send teams to search this area, but the water here is extremely deep, with hidden reefs. If she really entered the sea, the chances of survival are almost zero."When Lionel heard that, his chest clenched violently.
