Chapter 2011


    "Morpheus, why do you always say sorry to me?" Persephone''s voice was soft, but every time he


    apologized, she felt uneasy. "I don''t like hearing you say sorry. You surely know what I''d rather hear."


    "Yeah, I know." After a brief silence, Morpheus gently uttered three words, "I love you."


    Persephone''s heart seemed to skip a beat.


    "From now on, I''ll rece ''sorry'' with ''I love you''. Do you like hearing that?"


    "Morpheus..."


    She wasn''t prepared at all. Morpheus alwaysunched a "sudden attack" when she least expected it.


    Persephoneughed, but there was a tinge of soreness in her heart.


    "I want to see you right away," Morpheus whispered. "I can''t just say these three words over the phone.


    I want to say them to you in person until you''re tired of hearing them."


    But she would never tire of hearing them—she wanted to hear them for a lifetime.


    "Unfortunately, that won''t work now," Persephone said softly. "I have sses this morning. Also, the


    butler told me that Reba ising today."


    "What?" Morpheus felt a buzz in his ears. "You mean... Who''sing?"


    "Reba Jacox," Persephone replied casually. "She used to be part of the Hamerton Group''s medical


    team, but for some reason, she left. However, my butler knows her, and since my previous attendant


    left and I''m short-handed, the butler strongly rmended her."


    Morpheus furrowed his brow, a sense of foreboding creeping in.


    "In fact, I don''t really know her." Persephone smiled. "But she used to work for the Hamertons, so she''s


    quite familiar."


    "Okay, got it." Morpheus'' voice was solemn. "You focus on your things. I''ll handle the rest."


    "What?" His tone was odd, leaving Persephone puzzled. "Handle the rest... What do you mean?"


    "Literal meaning." Morpheus chuckled. "Apart from studying, you don''t have to worry about anything


    else. I''ll take care of everything. I won''t let anyone harm you."


    "Morpheus..."


    "Go to your ss now," he said softly, "Call me after ss."


    Persephone agreed with a simple acknowledgment.


    After hanging up, Morpheus'' gaze suddenly became as sharp and alert as a leopard''s. He immediately


    contacted someone in Centrolis to inquire about Reba. He had his assistant introduce work to


    Reba previously, but she resigned after two days. Now, she had arrived in Southeast Aciatic and


    was close to Persephone.


    Morpheus'' assistant informed him, "Mr. Orton, the attendant by Ms. Hamerton''s side, whom Reba


    managed to bribe, has been dismissed. However, we overlooked a crucial detail... Ms. Hamerton''s


    butler surprisingly has some connection with Reba."


    Morpheus remained silent.


    Reba had been working for the Hamertons for a few years and, with her sharp mind, had


    reasonably developed some connections. Yet, her ability to get close to people around Persephone


    revealed that her scheming was not to be underestimated. She required more caution than he had


    initially thought.


    The assistant asked, "Should we secretly..."


    "No need," Morpheus replied in a low voice. "I can handle matters in Southeast Aciatic. Keep an eye on


    the Hamertons. If anything happens, contact me immediately!"


    Reba had spent a few days with Persephone. She couldn''te and go from the pce at will;


    instead, she had to apany Persephone wherever she went.

    Despite this restriction, Reba had a decent grasp of the pce surroundings.


    It was evident to Reba that Persephone was not on guard against her. Persephone, a wealthy


    young woman with a straightforward mindset, had been overly sheltered since childhood andcked


    the ability to be cautious about others.


    In Persephone''s presence, Reba exhibited loyalty and obedience.
