Chapter 199
One weekter, Erin finally uploaded heric to the Inte. This was her first time using the Inte
ever since she came to the Garden
of Eden.
Previously, she’d consistently rejected the idea of engaging with the online world. Now, as she started
to get back online, she had to get used to seeing various photos of beautiful women all over the
Inte. Every time she saw those photos, she couldn’t help but be reminded of her own disfigured
face..
The sight of those beautiful faces assaulted her already wounded heart relentlessly, but she had to
learn to face it calmly. She had to keep adjusting her emotions so that she would be able to remain
composed when she came across such photos again..
Everything tended to be difficult in the beginning. Erin kept taking difficult first steps, oveing
obstacles and conquering them time and time again. This made Erin feel more and more like a warrior.
She was being brave for herself and the people who loved her!
Very soon, heric was sessfully published. Her art style was cute yet cool at the same time, and
the panels were supplemented
with simple dialogues and narration. Roman and Paulo were both depicted as characters in theic,
and while some parts of the story
were altered, all their names were reced with cute pseudonyms. After all, she didn’t want Chandler
to stumble upon heric one day
and figure out it was her work.
Erin chose the name “AsaelMama” as heric artist name. Using “Asa” explicitly was too risky, so
she made some changes to it.
Ten minutester, after taking a look at some other artists‘ics, Erin was ready to call it a day on the
Inte. But then she thought of her Twitter ount. It had been a while since shest checked it, and
she suddenly felt curious whether there was anything going on there.
Of course, she didn’t dare to use her own Twitter username for fear of Chandler discovering her.
Currently, she was still undergoing treatment and couldn’t bear the pressure of having Chandler around
her. Erin was very afraid of
spiraling into the endless hurt he tended to cause her.
While Chandler never gave up on searching for her, the fact remained that she was now disfigured
beyond belief. The person she feared facing the most was Chandler in this whole wide world.
Therefore, she registered a new ount using her email and searched for her
previous Twitter ount name.
When she found her old ount, she was astonished to see that she now had over ten million
followers. She opened it and realized that
over seventy percent of the content was about praying for her safe return. They hoped she was still
alive somewhere in this world.
Due to the release of the movie “Fox,” the news of her disappearance was extensively covered by the
media, and everything about her kidnapping was made known to the public. Chandler didn’t
deliberately suppress her disappearance at that time and even urged the
public to search for her!
If it weren’t for Paulo’s strict warning to the staff in the Garden of Eden that nobody should leak
information about Erin, her whereabouts
would have been exposed long ago.
From doctors, and nurses, to security guards and mercenaries. Everyone in the Garden of Eden was
bound by a legal contract. Exposing a patient’s privacy would vite the contract terms, which would
then lead to an exorbitant amount ofpensation that was more than enough to frighten anyone into
complying with Paulo’s policies.
No one was foolish enough to go against money.
Erin roughly skimmed through the most likedments and couldn’t hold back her tears after reading
about twenty of them. She didn’t expect that the majority of thements on Twitter that used to be
negative hadpletely turned around.
Onement even received 660,000 likes! It read. “Honestly, among all the actresses in the movie
‘Fox,‘ I only noticed the demon hunter. Like myment if you agree!”
The most likedment said, “Erin! No matter where you are, we believe you’re still alive! Your fans
are waiting for you!”
Erin was deeply moved. These strangers she’d never met came to know her through the character she
portrayed. Although they only left her a few simple words on Twitter, Erin felt as though she was
enveloped in a sea of kindness. The kindness these strangers showed her gradually converged into a
powerful source of strength in Erin’s heart.
She silently replied to them inwardly. “Thank you! Please wait for my return!”
A long period of time passed with every agonizing treatment Erin went through. Since the day she was
kidnapped and went missing, a full seven years had flown by.
In these seven years, a lot had happened.
Caleb got married to n’s sister, and they had a daughter who was now three years old. The whole
family immigrated to Crendale.
Matthew returned to Coandria three years ago. Hepletely disbanded his rock band and no longer
pursued music. He took over Warren’s Star Media Group. Warren, his elder brother, had unfortunately

Sean retired from the military and transitioned into an action movie director. Hispany. Truffleberry

figure in the entertainment industry, and every major production wanted to coborate with him.
year long, and his private life became even more messy than before.
As for Yvette, she entered the film and television industry as an actress because she was Erin’s twin
sister. Back then, the movie “Fox” sold for 2.8 billion, and the role of the demon hunter portrayed by
Erin received unanimous praise. Erin even won the Best Supporting Actress award for her acting. Due
to her absence, Yvette epted the trophy on her behalf.
Once Yvette appeared in the public eye, many talent agencies and investors approached her while
Erin’s poprity was soaring high. They made sincere offers for Yvette to take part in films and take up
various advertisements. Of course, Yvette happily epted this good fortune that fell into herp
without her having to put in any effort at all. She had no reason to refuse, as only a fool would say no to
money.
As Yvette’s fame grew,n enjoyed an even more audacious lifestyle outside the home. Yvette
gradually became indifferent to it. Simple family life became too dull for either of them. The reason why
they still didn’t get divorced wasn’t merely because they still had feelings for each other, but also mainly
due to their intertwined interests.
After staying in the Garden of Eden for ten months, Roman recovered from his burns ahead of time.
His speedy recovery was credited to his good physical condition and consistentmitment to
exercise. Furthermore, Pauloter developed a new type of ointment to treat burns. It became a
popr item in private hospitals worldwide due to its remarkable efficacy despite its exorbitant price.
Erin persuaded Roman to return to the country after his recovery. She only allowed him to visit her
once a month after that. Erin told him that if he continued to neglect his own acting career for her, she
would feel even more indebted to him. She believed that a talented actor like him should not waste his
outstanding talent and should continue to produce more good movies and shows for audiences to
enjoy.
She also assured Roman that she would work harder to write outstanding scripts and that the promise
she made to cast him as the male lead would not change. Thus, Roman returned to where he had
been before and resumed his acting career. Silently, he waited for Erin’s eventual return.
