    back in his seat hard. Closing his eyes, he felt exhausted in a way he hadn’t felt in a long time.


    When Jasper arrived home, he went upstairs to shower before sitting on the couch in the living room


    downstairs. He didn’t return to the study to finish his work, nor did he go upstairs to sleep as usual.

    him and discovered him watching a reality TV show. Theughter track on TV echoed through therge


    living room, sounding eerie in the quiet night.

    was in an apartment building close to her school. He frowned as he stared at the blinking red dot on the


    computer screen.

    went to a small restaurant near the school.

    She also mumbled something. Sean didn’t have time to ask her what with her in his arms.


    As he walked away, Sean didn’t notice a young man in the restaurant staring at him. When he led


    Isabe out of the restaurant, the young man took off his uniform and followed him.


    Later, Sean took Isabe into the apartment he had rented near their school. He’d just put her to bed


    when he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he found that there stood an angry


    young man in the doorway. The man said nothing before he punched Sean in the face violently.


    “What in the hell are you doing?!” Eximing, Sean stumbled and grabbed the door frame to keep


    himself from falling.


    “Where’s Isabe?” asked the strange man, who grabbed him by the neck with one hand.


    “Isabe? What are you talking about?”


    “| saw you leaving the restaurant with her. Did you put drugs in her food?”


    Sean was speechless because he had done nothing wrong to her. “Excuse me, who are you?” he


    asked, breaking free from James’ grip.

    why James was here, so he pointed to the room, saying, “She has a high fever and is sleeping right


    now. You cane in and see for yourself if you don’t believe me.”


    James retained his angry expression. He followed Sean into the room and found Isabe asleep on the


    bed. Her forehead was covered with a towel, her cheeks were flushed, and she mumbled something.


    Trying to hear what she was saying, James moved close to her. After making out what she was


    mumbling, he stood up and asked Sean with a frown, “Your name is Jasper?”


    “Huh? What are you talking about?” Sean asked.


    James remained silent. He returned his gaze to Isabe and said, “Sorry, | didn’t know you were her


    boyfriend. Bye.”


    Clenching his fists, James walked toward the apartment’s front door. ‘Someone knocked again before


    he could reach the door. He stopped and turned to face Sean, who was also confused.


    Sean sensed something was wrong and hesitated before opening the door. He was shocked when he


    saw Jasper standing at the door.

    “That man is Isabe’s adoptive father, Jasper,” James said, pointing to the bedroom.


    “adoptive father?” Sean looked into the bedroom and saw Jasper leave with Isabe in his arms.


    Without saying anything to them, Jasper wrapped his coat around her and walked out of the apartment


    building. Just when James was about to leave as well, Sean stopped James and asked, “He’s her


    adoptive father? | thought he was her uncle.”
