Not a soul in sight, not even a dog.


    Quinn didn''t know how long she had been running, but she finally ran out of energy and sat down weakly by the roadside.


    The frigid wind stung her ears and cheeks, and the icy pain in her hands and feet was unbearable.


    Hugging herself tightly, a dull ache began in her lower abdomen. Quinn buried her head in her knees and tears welled up uncontrobly.


    In the midst of her weeping, a fleeting, familiar image shed through her mind, as if she had encountered something simr before. But when she tried to think about it, she couldn''t recall anything.


    Loneliness and fear enveloped her like the pitch-ck night sky, pressing down heavily.


    Quinn couldn''t help but begin to contemte, ''Who am I? Where did Ie from, and where am I headed? Who is my family? Why do I feel like a sudden outsider, estranged from this world? No one acknowledges me, and everything appears unfamiliar. Every time I open my eyes, it feels as though I am the sole inhabitant of the world.


    The more Quinn thought the less she could remember. Apart from the pain in her body, her head began to ache as well.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    She covered her head, the intense pain making her somewhat unbearable. She fell straight down from the steps, curling up on the ground.


    Suddenly, a blinding light came straight at her, casting into Quinn''s vision.


    She struggled to open her eyes. And in the blur, she saw a car stop in front of her, and a tall figure got out of the car.


    She slowly reached out to the person but finally dropped her hand weakly, and the world plunged into darkness.


    In the darkness, she had a long dream.


    Many unfamiliar fragments appeared in the dream, strange yet familiar and mostly iprehensible.


    And that blurry figure, standing in the light, she extended her hand but could not touch anything.


    The figure was very familiar. She tried her best to get closer to him, but he always maintained a distance from her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t reach him.


    The sudden white light hurt Quinn''s eyes, and she opened her eyes abruptly.


    The white ceiling came into view. She tried to get up, but the pain in her body made her fall back down.


    The bedroom was quiet, and there was still no one around.


    Quinn dared not flee this time. She could only clutch the quilt, cover her head, and find a sense of security in doing so. Today was Freya''s day in court. Alexander was absent, as he was at the courthouse for the hearing.


    With Xavier having retracted hiswsuit, only Dorothy was still pursuing the case. From the beginning of the trial, Dorothy appeared listless and disheartened, as if she knew she had no chance of winning.


    As expected, the final verdict was that Freya was sentenced to three years of probation.


    When this result came out, Freya also breathed a sigh of relief.


    Indeed, her brother was still on her side. He must have put in a lot of effort to achieve this oue.

    Today was a very important day, and many people were present, including Kaitlyn.


    Kaitlyn nced at Dorothy, who returned her gaze. Their eyes met, and Dorothy''s weary face did not conceal her animosity.


    If it weren''t for the inappropriate setting, Dorothy would have rushed over to tear Kaitlyn apart.


    Observing Dorothy''s expression, Kaitlyn responded with a provocative smile, causing Dorothy to clench her fingers in anger. "Alexander, let''s go home," Kaitlyn said, turning her gaze away.


    Everyone dispersed, and Alexander didn''t linger. He got up and walked out of the courthouse with Kaitlyn.


    In the parking lot, he seemed to remember something and turned to Kaitlyn, saying, "Go ahead. I have something to do." Kaitlyn asked, "What is it?"
