As Emma watched James struggle with each step, a wave of sadness washed over her. It pained her to see her father move with such difficulty, a stark contrast to the energetic man she remembered from her childhood. Under her breath, she whispered to herself, "Dad, what have you been through all these years?""Please, have a seat," James offered, motioning towards the cozy living room.

The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 259 - Legacy of Lies
Zane and Emma were startled by James's question. Emma quickly stepped in to clarify. She shook her head, raising her hand and waving it as a gesture of denial."No, no, no, Dad. I think you misunderstood," Emma said, her voice firm but kind.James, ever attentive and caring, replied, "Emma, you are both adults. It’s perfectly fine for me to know about such things. There’s no need to be embarrassed."Emma felt a wave of embarrassment and discomfort wash over her, particularly for Zane, because of her father's misunderstanding."Dad, no, it's not what you think," Emma insisted, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Zane and I are just close friends, nothing more."Emma's discomfort was palpable, and Zane noticed. He smiled at her, his eyes twinkling with amusement."Emma, isn't what your father said not entirely wrong?"

"You both should rest," he suggested, his voice carrying a soft but firm note of concern. "It's getting late."Emma assisted him to his feet, her hands gentle yet steady. Once he was stable, James straightened his posture and continued, his eyes twinkling with a hint of excitement despite his tiredness. "This village boasts natural beauty that truly comes alive at dawn. Just a short walk from here, up the hill, there’s a waterfall. It’s completely natural and untouched, a hidden gem that I'm sure you’ll both appreciate in the morning light."He looked around the modest living room of his cottage. "Since there are only two bedrooms in this house, you two should take them. I'll manage just fine on this sofa here." He gestured towards a worn but comfy-looking sofa in the corner of the room.Emma immediately protested, stoppin

Zane remained seated calmly at the edge of James' bed, his face a mask of serene concentration. He had just finished administering a treatment he hoped would bring some relief to James, whose chronic pain had been a source of concern for months.

The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 262 - A Morning of Reflection and Connection
That night, Zane slept for only a few hours because he was eager to wake up early and relish the beauty of Serenity Village. He had heard so much about the place and couldn't wait to experience it himself. As the morning was still cloaked in darkness, Zane rose from his bed, feeling the crisp, cool air of dawn. He got ready for an early morning run around the village. His excitement grew as he remembered the waterfall James had described, the perfect spot for his morning meditation.Before starting his run, Zane took a moment to stretch his muscles in front of James's house. The silence of the early morning was broken only by the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant calls of waking birds. Zane felt a sense of calm and anticipation blend together. He began his warm-up, feeling each stretch loosening his muscles and preparing his body for the jog ahead.Once he felt ready, Zane started jogging.

Zane was still deep in his meditation outside, while Emma and James remained inside the house. The air inside was warm with the scent of herbs and spices, as James was busy cooking in the kitchen. Emma watched him for a moment, then decided to take over the task."Emma, what do you think you're doing?" James asked, stopping her in her tracks. "It's better if you contact Zane and join him," he continued, his tone gentle but firm. "Let me handle the cooking."James had always supported the relationship between Zane and Emma. He believed that Emma needed someone like Zane in her life, a dependable and kind-hearted man."But, Dad, there's no point," Emma replied, holding up Zane’s phone. "I found his phone on the couch. It looks like he accidentally left it behind."James nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, just wait for him to come back. If you want to cook for him, make sure it’s something delicious. Don’t let him be disappointed."Emma couldn't help but chuckle at her father’s advic

This unique feature is commonly seen in many waterfalls, especially those with a strong and constant flow of water.The man, brimming with arrogance, swam confidently toward the bottom of the waterfall. His swimming was impressively skillful, cutting through the water with ease. With a smirk on his face, he shouted, “Look here, a real man should meditate under a waterfall like this. Isn’t it much more challenging? Haha!”He then mimicked the meditative pose that Zane often performed, maintaining his position precisely under the cascading water. The force of the waterfall pounded down on him, but he held steady, clearly showing off. In stark contrast, his friends lingered closer to the edge of the pool, too wary to venture further into the turbulent waters.
