Under normal circumstances, Carl should have been terrified, afterall he was standing in a place he had never seen before, surrounded by unfamiliar people, unfamiliar structures, and an atmosphere that felt far too heavy to be ordinary.

Yet strangely… fear was not the first thing he felt.

Instead, it was pressure. The pressure of countless gazes.

Everywhere he turned, people were looking at him.

Not in a hostile way, nor in a curious way, but with something closer to recognition. As though his

    Carl entered the luxury vehicle whose door had been respectfully opened for him.The moment he settled into the comfortable leather seat, the door closed softly behind him. A few seconds later, the convoy began moving.He glanced out the window, then he glanced again. The more he looked, the more weird he felt. In front of his vehicle were several luxury cars, and also behind his vehicle were even more luxury cars.Every of the car moved in perfect formation. The entire convoy occupied a significant portion of the road.He couldn't help feeling slightly embarrassed. It should be that he was more amused. "I look like some important government official."Andrew sat opposite him, and remained silent even after hearing him. He chuckled. "No, seriously."Still silence."Or maybe a president."Andrew continued to say nothing. Carl rubbed his chin with a sigh. Talking to Andrew was truly exhausting. Fortunately, he had expected this and had long grown accustomed to it. Since the estate w

    Since his dignity had already been thrown to the ground, he decided to go with the flow. Besides, these men worked for Benjamin. It wasn't like he would keep seeing them after he left this place.Thinking about it, the last time he had gone shopping was months ago. Back when Vivian was still around. Since then, his life had become increasingly busy and stressful, except for the one week break he gave himself.One thing after another kept happening. Treating patients, studying medicine, designing his medicine room, and meeting Louis.Everything had happened so fast that he barely had time to think. Shopping had never even crossed his mind.Now that he thought about it, he really had been wearing the same few outfits over and over again. He felt slightly embarrassed.Only slightly, there was no way he was admitting that out loud."Still not going," he said firmly.Andrew wasn't surprised at all. In fact, he looked like he had expected that answer. "Mr. Benjamin insists."He rolled his e

    He gave up. There was simply no point. Benjamin would return this weekend anyway. Even if Carl somehow escaped the estate, Andrew would probably track him down before he reached the front gate.The thought was depressing, and his mood got ruined instantly. With Andrew's words, he no longer has any interest in strolling anymore. He turned around heading back for his room "I'm leaving."Andrew immediately replied. "I know."Carl stopped. "...Back to my room.""I know."Carl clenched his fists. This man was definitely doing it on purpose. He had to be. Nobody could naturally be this irritating. Gia quickly stepped forward before the situation escalated further. "Young Master Carl, shall we return?"He glanced at the smiling maid. Compared to Andrew, Gia suddenly seemed like an angel."Let's go."The two began walking away. Behind them, Andrew remained standing, while watching them leave silently, until he could no longer sight them. Meanwhile, Carl didn't bother looking back. His mood

    The maid looked ahead, and he followed her gaze.His expression immediately changed.A familiar figure was standing near a stone pavilion. Tall and well dressed with his usual calm demeanor. It was Andrew. Carl blinked twice.For a moment, he almost thought he was imagining things. After all, Andrew had been missing since yesterday.Andrew noticed them almost immediately. Their eyes met across the garden, and a smile appeared on his face.Not the formal smile he usually wore. This one looked genuine. He couldn't help but wonder if it was because he'd been brought here?"Young Master Carl." Andrew walked over, his hands tuck in his pocket. Carl rolled his eyes. "There it is again."Andrew chuckled. "What?""The title."Andrew's smile widened. "I'm afraid everyone has already accepted it."Carl groaned. This estate was hopeless. Still… as he walked toward Andrew, he couldn't deny something. Seeing the man unexpectedly made him feel relieved. At least now, there was finally someone aro

    Louis burst into laughter, and he couldn't help shaking his head.The guy never missed an opportunity to annoy him. The conversation continued. Mostly nonsense as normal of Louis. He was either complaining about breakfast, lunch or broken stuff around the house.Then somehow he changed into telling ridiculous stories that made absolutely no sense. Normally, he would have found the chatter annoying.But today...He found himself laughing. Actually laughing, a genuine laughter and not anything fake. Perhaps he was laughing over such, because he was bored. The tension that had been building inside him since arriving at the estate gradually eased.Before he realized it, almost thirty minutes had passed, and Louis was currently describing a bizarre encounter with a street vendor.Carl laughed so hard that tears nearly appeared in his eyes."You idiot.""I'm serious!""There's no way that happened.""It did!"He shook his head while smiling.At some point, Louis had become a regular part

    He remained standing quietly as he listened to Benjamin speak.It wasn't that he had nothing to say. He simply didn't know what to say.His father?The words still felt unreal.For more than twenty years, Carl had believed he was an orphan. He had accepted that fact long ago. There was no father to look for. No mother to search for. No family waiting for him somewhere.His grandparents had been his entire world.Yet now, a complete stranger had suddenly appeared and shattered everything he thought he knew about his life.No matter how calm Carl looked on the outside, his mind was in complete chaos.Benjamin seemed to understand what he was feeling.The middle-aged man sighed and looked at him with a complicated expression."I know you're angry."He didn't respond."I know you probably blame me and don't even want to see me."He continued to remained silent.Benjamin let out another sigh."If I were in your position, I would blame me too."There was a trace of bitterness in his voice.
