Deep within the Dead Forest, something catastrophic had urred. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, forming a lingering ck mushroom cloud.


    Amidst the smoke, seven or eight helicopters flew out in formation above the trees. From that moment on, Onistead would never be the same, as the Dead Forest no longer existed.


    Gregory, Gracie, and Sam, barely clinging to life, escaped through a passage from the depths of the tomb. They took advantage of the waterfall’s descent, plunging into the icy pool, narrowly avoiding the engulfing mes.


    As Gregory gazed at the raging inferno and the years of umted snow destroyed, his face darkened to the extreme.


    “Gregory!”


    Gracie sobbed, unable to find her voice. Their home was gone.


    “Do they think they can kill me like this? They’re too young. Channing, I will make you regret it, hahaha.”


    He had poisoned the various water sources in the city, and the only antidote was in his possession. If he died, the entire city would be buried with him.


    Sam furrowed his brow. “Father, none of this matters. Your safety is what’s important. I’ll contact Glenn right away and have him arrange for me to leave the country.”


    Glenn owed him a favor, and he wouldn’t refuse this small request.


    “Leave the country?”


    In a fit of anger, Gregory raised his hand and delivered a resounding p to Sam’s face. His vicious voice seemed to emerge from the depths of hell. “Even if I, a member of the Lucas family, were to die, I would never be a deserter!”


    “You have the audacity to talk about leaving the country when you should be thinking about how to poison the presidential pce.”


    Silenced by the p, Sam unexpectedly fell quiet.


    He was just a madman who didn’t care about his own life!


    In the corridor, the agonizing screams from the delivery room could be heard. Kate stood anxiously at the door, waiting.


    Master Glenn embraced her shoulders, silently offering herfort. “Don’t worry, Miss Lawrence will be fine.”


    “But… she’s bleeding so much.”


    “Kate, your anxiety won’t help. Fate will take its course.”


    “I hope so.”


    As she watched Kate earnestly pray with her hands sped, Glenn couldn’t shake off an indescribable sense of unease in his heart.


    Things didn’t seem simple at all.


    Just then, his phone in his pocket began to ring, disying Sam’s name on the screen. To avoid Kate noticing, he quietly took the phone and walked to the other side of the corridor to answer the call.


    “Why are you calling me at this time?”


    On the other end of the phone, Sam’s cold voice came through, not bothering to be polite as he spoke: “I’m here to collect a favor.”


    Did this day finallye?


    Glenn held his phone for a moment without answering, thinking for a while before finally speaking up. “What’s going on?”


    “Get me three million dors and a private ne. Meet me at the Ind at midnight tonight.”


    “Okay.”


    Just as Glenn was about to suggest another location, he heard the sound of a newborn baby crying behind him.


    “It’s born! It’s born!”


    A young nurse ran out of the delivery room with excitement, and Kate eagerly greeted her and took the white swaddled bundle from her hands.


    Sam also heard that cry on his end of the line and couldn’t help but ask with raised lips. “Is it a boy or girl?”


    “I don’t know.”


    “I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want the ne anymore. Just steal that baby for me instead.”


    “You’re crazy!”


    “Glenn, don’t forget your life is in my hands. I remember your birthday is at the end of this month.”


    He was about to turn thirty years old soon.


    Between his own life and someone else’s life, Sam didn’t believe Glenn would sacrifice himself.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Beep beep beep-


    The call ended abruptly. Glenn returned to Kate with worries written all over his face while she held the child peacefully in her arms.


    Kate looked down at the child with motherly love shining in her eyes; it was clear she adored their little one.


    “Master Glenn, look quickly! Yhis little guy looks so handsome; his eyes and eyebrows are just like Cheyenne’s! His skin is so fair.”


    Glenn looked down towards where Kate pointed; such small features made him look cute indeed!


    But unfortunately, due to its parents, he didn’t quite like it very much.


    “Yeah, he’s really cute.”


    “Master Glenn, let’s have one too! If our baby looks as beautiful as this little one, then that would be even better!”


    Kate had no idea what kind of pain or conflict these words caused within Glenn, but Eddie who had juste out couldn’t take it anymore!


    “Who is he?”


    “He’s…my boyfriend…” Kate replied nervously


    Her response only served to anger Eddie further.


    “Youe with me,” Eddie ordered sternly, looking straight into Master Glenn’s eyes


    “What do you want, Eddie?”


    Eddie ignored Katepletely, focusing solely on Master Glenn now…


    Before, Kate only had her brother in her eyes. Now, there was this annoying Master Glenn.


    It really bothered him.


    “Don’t worry, I’m just talking to Glenn. I won’t do anything,” Eddie reassured.


    “Kate, don’t worry. Everything will be fine,” Glenn handed the baby back to her and caught up with Eddie’s footsteps.


    As soon as they left, a group of people returned.


    Kelvin led them and looked like he had just been through a battle. His ck suit was covered in bloodstains and his clothes were torn in several ces.


    The man next to him wasn’t much better off but at least he looked okay mentally. His gaze fell directly on the baby in Kate’s arms and his handsome face lit up with a smile.


    “This is Cheyenne’s child? My grandson?” He seemed excited about it.


    “Hmm?”


    Kelvin went straight to the delivery room where he pushed open the door to see blood-stained sheets everywhere. The bright red contrasted sharply against the white sheets.


    Cheyenney curled up under a quilt looking weak and helpless while sweat soaked her hairline making Kelvin’s eyes moisten when he saw her like that.


    He walked quickly over to Cheyenne’s bed, taking steps at once before holding onto her hand gently.


    Silent tears fell on Cheyenne’s hand as Kelvin said softly. “Cheyenne, I’m back.”


    Cheyenne’s lips turned pale but she still tried hard not to show how tired she was when asking, “The baby… have you seen him?”


    Kelvin shook his head without answering properly. “Are you feeling better? Does it hurt? Are you tired? Do you want to rest for awhile first?”


    At this moment, Kelvin only had eyes for Cheyenne; he didn’t even remember what their child looked like anymore.


    “He’s here! You’ve given birth to a boy, Cheyenne!” A white figure appeared at the door which surprised Cheyenne because they shared some simrities.


    “Mr. Wild Man?” She recognized him immediately despite his beard growth.
