“Freyja, fetch my medication,”

Having taken a few steps, Freyja swiftly turned around, her countenance etched with concern.

“Mr. Leon, Mrs. Thomas has been experiencing a decline in health as of late,” Freyja informed.

The subtext of her words urging Leon to avoid distressing Claudia further was apparent.

Everyone seemed to expect Leon to consider the well-being of others, but few truly considered his feelings.

“I no longer have the right to approach her. I’ve trampled on her dignity. Despite my claims to protect her, I nearly caused her demise. I’ve effectively forfeited any claim to be with her,” Leon confessed, his voice Laden with guilt.

A self-deprecating laugh escaped his Lips.

“Does this imply…”

Claudia began, her voice tinged with disbelief. Did he mean that he had resolved to relinquish Millie, allowing her to pursue a life with Marcus? His tone of self-mockery tugged at Claudia’s heartstrings.

“I’ll be spending stin Dgend, overseeing the project in the west of the city from a distance.”

“Very well. You’re free to go wherever you wish. I apologize, but I can’t fulfill the desires of all three of you. In order to safeguard the Thomas family, I’ve taken Marcus’ side. It’s my duty. Hopefully, your stay in Dgend brings you smeasure of solace.”

Claudia desired to inquire about the progress of the project upon Leon’s return, yet her disposition had been utterly unsettled by their previous encounter. The fright she experienced was still vivid.

Dgend was a dangerous locale teeming with a mix of unsavory characters. The atmosphere was perpetually suffused with an air of darkness and trepidation.

For the average person, venturing into its depths often meant walking a tightrope between life and death. There, all manner of illicit transactions took place, where anything could be bartered, including human organs. It was a veritable inferno on Earth.

What remained unknown was that this perilous city was under Leon’s dominion, and he reigned as its ultimate authority.

As Leon exited Claudia’s chamber, he encountered Marcus, who had also been summoned by Claudia’s request.

The two locked eyes for a moment, then brushed past each other without uttering a word. Marcus proceeded to Claudia‘’s room.

“Grandma, what’s the matter?” Marcus queried upon entering.

“We’ve received word from Raven Island that you’ve engaged the island’s medical facility to research an antidote. Have you sustained an injury?” Claudia inquired, her concern palpable since she received the news.

Claudia’s apprehensions had been growing, fearing that Marcus had fallen victim to poisoning.

Despite her profound aversion to Raven Island, a place that had deprived her of the Love she once shared with her husband and relegated her to a life akin to that of a widow, Claudia’s worry for Marcus prevailed upon learning of his antidote-related endeavors

She desperately hoped that Marcus was not the victim of the poisoning.
