All Chapters of The Rebirth of the Author: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

An inner conflict left Ayleen overwhelmed with confusion.On the other hand, she was not the kind of person who broke her promises. Whenever she gave someone her word, she always intended to keep it.She would feel terrible if she ever betrayed someone's trust. Above all else, disappointing someone was the last thing she wanted to do.But at the same time, she also had to uncover the truth about what was happening in her own life.She could not simply sit back and wait for Sea Finley to prove something that she herself knew nothing about. The uncertainty would drive her crazy."No... I'll try waiting for just one week," Ayleen finally decided.She began carefully planning what she should do next, refusing to rush into anything while also refusing to remain completely passive.The day she was supposed to meet Sea finally arrived.That morning, Ayleen woke up early and went for a run around her neighbourhood.The cool morning air cleared her mind, leaving her feeling refreshed after exe

But of course, Ayleen would never be able to get the answer she wanted.All she could do was remain there as a silent spectator, invisible to everyone in that life.Sea said, "It wasn't much, Sis. She was already incredibly talented. I only helped smooth the path a little.""That was a tremendous help, Sea. Without you, Ayleen Hazel would never have become someone as famous as she is today. It was your support that allowed her to shine," Melody replied.Sea fell silent, seemingly lost in his own thoughts, leaving Melody to watch him with sorrow in her eyes."It... wasn't anything. If only I'd had just a little courage to confess my feelings, she never would have died like that," Sea said, disappointment evident in his own voice.Melody choked back her emotions."None of this was your fault, Sea. I sent Liam a message, but... he never read it. If only he had, Ayleen might never have discovered that bastard's affair with that shameless woman.""And Ayleen... wouldn't have suffered that

"That's why I'm asking for your help," Sea said, looking at his friend with a serious expression.Gerrard let out a quiet sigh.Ayleen knew nothing about Gerrard's current life. Still, she thought that perhaps he knew someone who could help with the matter, which was why Sea had come to him.After a long moment of thought, Gerrard finally spoke."You're... not doing this because you feel guilty toward Ayleen, are you?"Sea fell silent.His face revealed nothing, but Ayleen could sense the heavy burden weighing on his heart—a burden she knew nothing about. Even so, she was certain that Sea hadn't decided to get involved in this matter on a whim."If you're only doing this to make yourself feel a little better after the death of the woman you loved..." Gerrard continued, "...then you don't truly want to protect her daughter."Ayleen frowned, realizing there was truth in Gerrard's words.After a brief pause, Gerrard went on,"And if you only want custody of that child because you want to

Ayleen could only grimace when she heard the young man's declaration."All right, all right. I get it," she said, deciding not to bring up the subject again.After they got off the bus, they entered the university campus hand in hand.Just as Ayleen had expected, the sight of her walking beside Sea immediately caught everyone's attention.She had never wanted to become the center of attention.However, she also didn't want the man beside her to feel that their relationship had to be hidden. So she let Sea openly reveal their relationship to everyone."See you later," Sea said cheerfully.Ayleen nodded in return.The moment Sea disappeared from sight, several young women approached her, glaring at her with obvious hostility."Excuse me... is something wrong?" Ayleen asked politely."You and Sea..." asked one of the girls, whose doll-like beauty resembled a Barbie. "Are you really dating?"Remaining calm, Ayl

Ayleen sighed in annoyance.But after giving it some thought, she reminded herself that Natasha had always been irritating, so she decided to ignore everything the girl was saying."Oh? Since you're staying quiet, I guess that means I'm right, doesn't it?" Natasha continued, even though Ayleen hadn't responded at all.Just then, the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse.Heavy rain began pouring down.The passengers on the bus grew uneasy as strong winds started blowing, making the roads dangerous to travel.Some of them wanted to get off immediately, but the next bus stop was still quite far away, leaving them with no choice but to remain on the bus.About ten minutes later, the bus suddenly came to a stop in the middle of the road while the storm was still raging."Oh no... what are we supposed to do? Are we going to be stuck here?" one anxious passenger complained.A bus attendant made an announcement that they w
