"Hold your head up, Rose. You're not at fault if you don't reciprocate his feelings. I know you were traumatized by your life in the past, and things got better as time passed. No one will force you to accept Lion, not Lion, me, or even Sky. Your decision is your own. But...""I don't blame Lion with his feelings for you either. I would be happy if you guys got together and lived harmoniously like a normal couple. However, if things don't turn out that way, I hope you and Lion will still love each other as my children. I only ask that of you.""If Lion is so stubborn, then I hope that you will be the one to understand and handle your affairs without bringing division to our family, dear."Mr Jack's gloomy expression was clear in the eyes of his three children, especially Rose, who carried the burden of Lion's feelings for her."I'll talk to Lion, Dad. Please don't be sad like this. I'll carry the burden and not be able to avenge myself on them over there," Rose approached Mr Jack and

Alice slowly let go of the little boy's arms, which hugged her body. She opened the waist-length grey blazer that was still attached to her body to cover the little girl's cold lower body.Alice moistened the handkerchief from her blazer pocket and put it on the little boy's forehead. After the first aid efforts for the little boy were completed, Alice repositioned herself next to the little boy.She grasped the tiny hand and pressed it against Alice's cheek so that the cold palm would become warm. Then, gently patting the little one's arm, she made his sleep more comfortable.The eyes, already very sleepy, closed tightly, half hugging the tiny body beside her.***A gentle poke on Alice's cheek stirred her sleep. Alice's eyes blinked slowly. The weight of her eyes felt like they were about to open completely.The little guy was sitting beside Alice. For whatever reason, he wiped the cold sweat on Alice's forehead."Oh, what's wrong? You don't have a fever anymore?"Alice's first ques

"Bro, let me carry this woman. Give it to me!" Troy approached and requested that he carry Alice's body. Immediately, the little one blocked him by stretching out both hands to Troy."Have you seen, right? Let me carry her; you take care of that useless human over there!" Sean said firmly and ordered his younger brother to take action while referring his sentence to the owner and the bar staff.Sean walked out of the bar while the little one in his uncle's arms showed an unhappy face, as if jealous of seeing his daddy carrying his Fairy Godmother."Hey, Golden Boy. What else have you got to be mad about, huh? You're jealous of your own daddy for carrying that woman?" Troy teased his nephew; the little guy unconsciously nodded, making Troy laugh amusedly at the sight."Don't be mad at your daddies; be mad at those who caused your Fairy Godmother to get hurt!" Troy provoked the little guy while pointing at the staff and the bar owner.The little guy's piercing gaze made them even more f

"I don't care about your rules for refusing to deliver my goods. I want you to do what I tell you to do because I paid a lot of money just to talk to a cheap woman like you now!" the man said.'Cheap woman'Hearing those words, Rose's three men immediately turned their faces tense. They knew by heart that if anyone called their boss those words, that person was finished.Meanwhile, Rose, who heard the 'cheap woman' slur pointed at her, immediately turned her casual glance into a sharp knife that was about to stab.With one swift movement, after she stood up, Rose's left hand grabbed the man's face and slammed him into the table.[Braaak!]"Stay where you are if you still want to breathe today!" Rose snapped at the man's men who were trying to get closer.Meanwhile, Rose's three men were watching the exciting show from their boss.One of the fat man's men dared to attack Rose from behind. Rose quickly aimed her leg kick right at the face of the stocky man with tattoos on his face.The

"I didn't expect to be caught by a gangster, " the man said, interrupting Lion's thoughts.Even though Lion was shocked because he realized the target was someone he knew, Lion could still control his expression now."That's fate. Your time is up." Lion answered with a sad smile, "But what was a former warlord doing in front of me? Is the salary of a retired Italian soldier so small that you become a hitman for people with money?"Hearing Lion's words, the man frowned, "You know me?""That is not important. Just answer my question now." Lion refused, diverting the question to, "I think I'm interested in your story… Black Pearl?"The man Lion mentioned smiled, "But I'm even more curious about you recognizing my old nickname."Lion froze for a moment, 'I'm dead. Why can't my mouth be controlled?' he complained to himself from within.Seeing Lion's expression, the Major General smiled even more, "Tell me, boy, who are you, and which division do you come from? Because only the soldiers I
