I watched Dorothea Whitmore gently rock her carved wolf pup figurine, humming a soft lullaby. The peaceful scene on the cruise ship felt surreal compared to the chaos in my life. The gentle breeze from the Crimson River carried the scent of wildflowers. I found myself genuinely curious about Dorothea’s condition.

“Adrian, may I ask what happened to your mother?” I set down my coffee cup carefully. “Given status, it seems unusual for someone to develop such severe mental instability”

I didn’t flinch under his stare. “Yes, I sent it.”

Marcus’s jaw tightened. “How did you even know about it?” I pulled out my phone and showed him the chat record from the institute’s work group. “Sophia shared it herself. She even congratulated you on having such a ‘big son.”

Marcus’s face darkened like a storm cloud. He grabbed my face roughly, his fingers digging into my cheeks.
