Before Hannah contacted Kalix's number, she found her friend's phone ringing, only to discover it was from Eugene's mother-in-law. At first, she hesitated to tell the truth, fearing it might shock the middle-aged woman. However, following Mia's advice, she eventually broke the news cautiously. Then, news came from the doctor who checked Eugene's condition, and yes, the pregnancy news made everyone who heard it feel happy. Eugene felt incredulous at first, but then she felt happy. Meanwhile, Kalix was still trying to digest his wife's words. His breathing gradually calmed, but his eyes couldn't lie. "Oh, what did you say earlier?" Eugene glanced at Kalix to reassure him and laughed before answering, "I'm pregnant, Kalix. Pregnant with your child." After seeing her husband's expression, she chuckled softly—feeling amused by what she was seeing now. "You didn't expect that, did you?" At that moment, Kalix felt the heat of his anxiety dissipating, replaced by a happiness that was eve
"Lucas! Be careful!" The shout came from Eugene. Watching her son continue to run around in the middle of the grass field in front of their house sometimes made Eugene feel like she was on the verge of a sudden heart attack. How could she not? Her five-year-old son was very active and almost never wanted to sit still for more than a minute. Eugene could only laugh as she watched Lucas proudly show off his catch, a small insect-shaped ball with black and reddish-orange patterns. "Are you happy to get it?" his mother asked, answered by her son's enthusiastic nod. A blade of grass fell from Lucas's head. Five years had passed, and Eugene had proven herself capable of fulfilling her duties as a mother. Lucas was active and intelligent, inheriting his good looks from Kalix, but his personality, no one knew where he got it from. "Lucas," called Kalix, who had just come out of the house. He was carrying a cup of tea to give to his beloved wife. "Can't you go a day without making yo
"Aunt," Lucas called out after finishing hugging his mother."Aunt is the one who saved me, Mom," he continued to explain.Eugene recognized that face. The person called aunt by her child was Jane, who suddenly disappeared seven years ago. It would be a lie if Eugene said she wasn't surprised, but her surprise wasn't something negative. She just didn't expect to meet that woman again after so long, even in such an unexpected situation.Meanwhile, Kalix was still stunned by what he saw. Lucas came with someone else, instead of the police who were tasked with finding his son. For a moment, he was almost speechless, until Jane herself greeted first."What an incredibly extraordinary coincidence, isn't it?" Jane smiled until her eyes narrowed. "I found the child on the south beach. I didn't expect him to be your son.""Yes. I was very surprised and of course, very grateful for helping Lucas meet us." Kalix smiled sincerely.Eugene also thanked Jane, but she couldn't help but scold Lucas i
A press conference was held in a large room with a backdrop of tall walls adorned with the company’s logo. On the stage, there was a conference table with the company’s logo, which now looked bleak. Rows of white chairs were neatly arranged for the members of the press and company executives. The CEO of the company, Kalix Owen, sat in the middle of the table, appearing calm amidst the tension of others. Beside him, there were several lawyers and financial advisors of the company. Members of the media and journalists sat in their chairs with pens, cameras, and microphones ready to cover the news. The room was very quiet and tense, with the expressions of the attendees reflecting concern and disappointment. Before the conference began, the room was shrouded in a dark and somber atmosphere, as if representing the end of an era in the world of technology. Kalix lifted his tired-looking face and slowly said, “It is with great regret that we make this statement today. Our company, State-
For a whole day, Kalix was left there without food or drink, but in the evening, someone finally arrived. The man was Mason Dominic. A more luxurious chair was placed not far in front of Kalix, and Mason sat down calmly. He gazed at the son he left in a small village. They had met again ten years ago when Kalix came to study at the country's best university in this city. "How are you?" Mason asked without any emotion. He even stared at Kalix flatly, as if he wasn't looking at his own son. Kalix offered a crooked smile and replied hoarsely, "How do you think?" Hearing that, Mason burst into laughter. He looked at Kalix with both admiration and disdain simultaneously. "Do you know why I brought you here?" Kalix didn't answer, his head lowered, but he didn't show despair. Mason wasn't bothered by Kalix's attitude. "I want to end it all for you. Everything." "Don't you want to ask why?" Mason used his cane to lift Kalix's chin. He forced the young man to look into his eyes. After
Kalix furrowed his brow, trying to remember this incident from his previous life. It seemed like something like this had happened before, but back then, he didn't go to the back building out of fear. Consequently, he ended up getting more bullying from Lorenz. As for now, Kalix still didn't want to go meet Lorenz. However, he also didn't want to offend the guy for the time being. It's not that his soul was the same as before. Kalix knew that his current temperament wouldn't hesitate to respond to punches with punches. However, he still needed a scholarship at this university. He couldn't get involved in fights or anything that would tarnish his reputation. "Alright, I'll go see him," he said, walking casually to his closet. "Don't you hear? Senior Lorenz said now!" Jimmy shouted again. "Don't let the senior come here and cause trouble for me and Grey." Kalix combed his hair casually and replied, "Don't worry, he won't cause trouble for you guys." Jimmy snorted and left with Grey.
"You're truly dedicated," Jane said with a flirtatious tone. She embraced Lorenz and buried her face in his chest, while her hands subtly grazed his waist. "Nonsense," Lorenz grabbed both of Jane's hands and moved them to touch something else. "I just enjoy oppressing poor people like that scoundrel." Jane murmured sweetly, shifting her position with her chin resting on Lorenz's broad shoulder. Her hands worked to fulfill Lorenz's desires. She calmly added, "Yes, that scoundrel has no one behind him." Kalix sneered in disgust, unable to bear the immoral behavior of jealousy any longer. He had seen enough of their video. Now it was time for him to catch the adulterers, no matter if it led to a heated argument. Peering through a gap, Kalix gazed at them. Maybe because of his intense stare, Jane sensed his presence and looked at his collar. Their gazes met, surprising Jane, and she distanced herself from Lorenz. "What's wrong?" Lorenz asked with dissatisfaction. His desires had just
Kalix stared at the series of numbers with hatred. Even though he despised the old man, he still remembered everything related to him, whether it was in his past life or now. His mother had loved the man so much that she had gone to great lengths to find him. She even waited for him to return for decades. However, in the end, what she got was not what she had hoped for. Mason did return to his hometown, but not to meet Kalix's mother, Glory, but to sever all ties from their past. At that time, Mason wanted to run for vice governor. Before his political journey reached its peak, he wanted to cleanse his past. This caused Glory to suffer a heart attack, and her condition worsened before she eventually passed away. To this day, it was Kalix's biggest regret. He should have never hidden anything from his mother. Fortunately, he had a second chance. His mother was still alive and had not been killed by Mason. "You have to go meet him," the system said, snapping him out of his reverie.

"Eugene, are you alright?" Kalix's worried expression couldn't be hidden when he saw his wife looking pale. Eugene smiled gently. Actually, her stomach was quite upset in the morning, perhaps due to indigestion or eating something wrong. She emerged from the bathroom after vomiting her breakfast this morning. "I think I'm fine," Eugene said casually. "Shouldn't we go to the doctor just in case? I'll take you right now," Kalix suggested. Seeing how caring her husband was, her heart felt warm, but she had to refuse, "I'm okay. Besides, I already have plans with my friends today." Kalix sighed deeply, his gaze shifting to his wife's stomach. "I don't mean to stop you, but how can you go out on an empty stomach? You just vomited all your food." Actually, Eugene didn't feel very hungry, but considering the effort the man had put into preparing breakfast this morning, she felt guilty. "I'll try to eat again." It seemed Kalix didn't quite agree with Eugene's words. However, he also fel
All Kalix could see was darkness. He did not know where he was or what time it was. His mind was filled with the bloody figure of Eugene. He felt pain in his heart, regret, anger, and all sorts of emotions raging inside him one by one, making him increasingly despondent. Squatting down and hugging his knees, Kalix did not know how to release the emotions in his heart.He could not laugh, could not get angry, could not do anything. It's as if his body was made to remain silent.In that boundless darkness, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed."Hello, Host Kalix Owen!"Hearing that, Kalix immediately looked up. He remembered, there was a system that could help him, a chance for him to fix everything. Yes, he remembered, he had called upon the system, awakened the system that could assist him."System! System, are you there?!" Kalix searched around in the darkness hoping he would find the system he was looking for.In despair, he suddenly found hope.The mechanical voice of the system echo
A 5-year-old boy sat on his bed, gazing at the snowflakes falling from the sky behind his bedroom window. The yard was blanketed in pure white, looking incredibly beautiful despite the cold air accompanying it.Eugene entered the room, the place where children under 5 years old from the orphanage slept."Lucas, what do you see?" Eugene asked gently as she approached the only child there.The little boy, Lucas, turned around, seeing the pretty sister who often came to take care of him and his friends in the same room."There's snow, it's beautiful," Lucas said with a sparkle in his eyes. However, realizing he could not touch the snow, the sparkle in his eyes faded.Lucas had been in poor health since he was little, which is why his movements in the orphanage were very limited.Eugene held the boy's chin, smiling softly, and then said, "Do you want to go out?"Of course, the child nodded in agreement, he really wanted to leave his room to see the snow like the other children, even if he
After searching for Nick's whereabouts, Kalix found him just coming out of the police station. Knowing Nick would not come home and would instead be busy dealing with his body, Kalix finally decided to take over Nick's body, possessing it and taking him away.What Kalix needed now was a computer. Feeling like there was not much time to waste, Kalix entered the nearest internet cafe from his current location. Of course, he concealed Nick's figure using a hat and a mask.Initially, he found it difficult to control someone else's body, but his awkward movements slowly became more confident.Even though he knew he could not do much to change this life, he still wanted to try to at least protect Eugene and the people who cared about her.As soon as he sat in front of the computer, the figure of Nick, seen by others as a strange person, immediately radiated sophistication. How could it not, as he was possessed by the spirit of a technology expert. His hand movements swiftly worked to steal
Unbeknownst to Kalix, when he decided to follow Eugene, he would uncover the secret of his reincarnation.-Kalix's spirit hovered around Eugene, following her every move wherever she went.As the lifeless body of Kalix was secured by the police, Eugene followed closely, seeming reluctant to get closer. From the look in her eyes, there was no disgust, but rather guilt and regret. Her emotions were too complex for her to understand what she was feeling at the moment.Spirits are usually sensitive, and Kalix could sense the turmoil of emotions Eugene was going through. It all left him confused.A woman familiar to Kalix approached Eugene, patting her shoulder and offering words of comfort."He can no longer feel pain, maybe he's at peace now. Do not blame yourself."Eugene turned to the woman, Mia, her friend and the one who had helped her immensely in finding this place and disrupting the plans of Mason's previous henchmen. She neither nodded nor shook her head, but just stared lifeles
After nearly 2 hours of shopping, they decided to find a place to eat outside the shopping center. On both sides of the shopping building, there were many eateries.Based on internet recommendations, they decided to visit one of the restaurants nearby. As they walked towards the restaurant, Eugene suddenly remembered something."It seems like I accidentally left my watch in the watch store when I was trying on a new one earlier," Eugene said while lightly tapping her forehead."I'll go back to the store, you just wait for me at the restaurant, okay?""Okay." Eugene nodded and watched Kalix walk back towards the shopping center. Meanwhile, she stood still there and waited for Kalix instead of going into the restaurant.Kalix knew Eugene would wait for him outside the restaurant or even follow him, so he quickly walked back to the shopping center. Fortunately, the streets weren't too crowded with pedestrians at that time.After retrieving the watch from the store's employee, he exited t
