Chapter 36 Taehyuk's sudden departure earlier after answering Jung-hyun's call was still weighing heavily on her mind. He had promised to fill her in once he got back, but his expression had been dead serious. Besides, she had already been thinking about calling Jung-hyun herself anyway. If Taehyuk was truly set in his resolve, Jung-hyun was the only person left who could actually stop him. For a fleeting second, Seo-ah wondered if Jung-hyun had been the one to reveal her location to Taehyuk, but she…-

Chapter 35 "Does that mean... I still have a chance?" Seo-ah looked up at Taehyuk, sensing a surge of fierce, crackling intensity radiating from his eyes. 'I'm human too. My... my heart beats just like anyone else's.' Seo-ah turned her head away, but Taehyuk immediately reclaimed her gaze. Tilted slightly, his head hovered close while his hand held her chin firmly. It felt as though an unfamiliar hand was squeezing the breath right out of her lungs. She couldn't breathe. It was as if Taehyuk had stolen…

Chapter 34 "Su-bin." Jin-won gently scooped Su-bin up into his arms. Without a word, she buried her face into his shoulder, her tiny body trembling violently as silent sobs wracked her frame. Seeing her cry so desperately without making a single sound completely broke Seo-ah's heart. At this point, her own situation didn't matter at all anymore. Su-bin was all that mattered. Seo-ah pulled out her phone and dialed Taehyuk's number. She waited anxiously as it rang and rang, but Taehyuk never picked…

Chapter 33 Seo-ah's eyes flickered, visibly shaken by Taehyuk's somber tone. "Did you really want to escape from me so badly that you hid my own child from me? I won't make excuses about not knowing. But still... was I really that meaningless to you?" Taehyuk's Adam's apple bobbed heavily in his throat. "Y-Yes," Seo-ah said. Taehyuk flinched and narrowed his eyes as if she had just stabbed him. "I would have done anything if it meant getting away from you. Why else do you think I originally said I'd…

Chapter 13 I pulled myself together again. Right now, saving the child who had been unfairly separated from her mother was far more important than my childish jealousy and worries. "Big Sister Libby, Aunt Dallis, you heard everything, right? We're heading home now. We'll call again once we enter the forest." With tears in her voice, Aunt Dallis pleaded desperately. "I'll protect her with my life." Ian answered in a firm, reassuring voice. The video call ended. I slowly turned to…-

Chapter 12 As we carefully opened the door... A chilling cold filled the room. It was a lonely little room with nothing but an old bed and a worn-out wardrobe. Aunt Dallis' young daughter was sleeping on the old bed, curled up tightly beneath a single thin blanket. It was obvious she hadn't been cared for properly. Her hair was tangled into a mess. The joints of her fingers and even her heels were dry and covered in white, cracked skin. Verity quietly muttered, "Baron Deste should also…

Chapter 11 "I can sense a Demon's presence. Hmm..." Verity kept clicking his tongue in annoyance, clearly displeased by something. 'Looks like Baron Deste made a contract with a Demon in the worst possible way.' It was shocking enough that Baron Deste, who was supposed to be dead, was actually alive. But he had even made a contract with a Demon. He definitely didn't seem like husband material. "Is summoning a Demon really that easy?" "What an insulting thing to…

Chapter 10 Hebenia looked at the owner of the herb shop and asked, "So, Sister-in-law, these herbs are really expensive, right?" "They're legendary herbs that people say went extinct. These are worth whatever price you ask." The herb shop owner put on his reading glasses, which hung from a string around his neck, and moved his abacus. "So, this is the price." "...Shouldn't we be the ones naming the price since we're selling them?" Hebenia frowned and stared at the abacus. "Veri— no,…

Chapter 9 The Deste territory was right next to the exile settlement. 'That's really suspicious.' My instincts immediately told me something was wrong. 'If we visit the Deste territory, maybe we'll find out more. Like the real reason the exile family was framed...' Now I knew that the exile family had been falsely accused. But was the entire country really willing to go this far just to make them mine ore? 'That alone doesn't make sense.' Before leaving the Primeval Forest, I called…
