Fabian stepped closer and gently held the armrest of the wheelchair. He spoke softly, “Evelyn has never left this villa, from childhood until now, and she remains unaware of the wonders outside, learning only from books.”

“In this room, she could recite her books from memory.” His gaze settled on the rows of bookshelves, and Elysia could see an indescribable mix of emotions in his eyes.

It looked like nostalgia intertwined with joy. Elysia felt she could see the spirit of the girl who had passed away in Fabian’s

expression.

Following his gaze, she imagined Evelyn sitting in the wheelchair, turning the pages of a book–she must have looked incredibly beautiful.

Javier stood at the doorway, taking in the familiar furnishings as memories from the past seemed to float before his eyes.

He took a few steps forward and stopped beside the bookshelf by the window. Crouching down, he picked up a book, his slender fingers delicately flipping through its pages, a hint of a smile appearing on his gentle face.

Javier said, “This was Evelyn’s favorite book during her lifetime. She always admired the strength of the protagonist and hoped to recover quickly so she could explore the outside world.”

“Sadly, she never achieved that dream before she passed away.” As Javier spoke, a shadow of sadness crossed his features; it was both Evelyn’s sorrow and theirs.

“The doctors could never pinpoint her condition,” Javier replied. “Her health was much weaker than her peers. Even a slight breeze could make her sick for a long time.”

“For many years, we searched for doctors, trying to help her health. At first, we managed to maintain it quite well.” He continued, “But on her birthday, she complained of chest pain and soon fell seriously ill, unable to sit up in her wheelchair.”
