Chapter 751
Steven met Julia's gaze, his heart pounding. He could see the fear in her eyes, the suspicion, the desperate need to understand. She knew him too well—she always had. She could read him like a book, and right now, that book was filled with lies.He knew what he was about to do would hurt her if she finds out. He knew it would break her but he also knew that in the scale of priority, Julia would be happier if Chance was alive than if he was.Moreover, Chance still has a whole future ahead of him, and as a father, the best thing he could do was to make sure his son lives the life that he was meant to live even if it meant trading places with him."Nothing," he said, forcing a smile. "I'm just worried about Chance. We need to hurry."Julia studied him for a long moment. Then, slowly, she nodded."Okay," she said quietly. "I trust you."Steven pulled her into his arms, holding her tight. He hated lying to her. He hated the deception, the manipulation, the way he was using her love for him
Chapter 750
Seraphina fell silent, her rage spent. The fire in her eyes flickered, then dimmed, replaced by something else—something that looked almost like exhaustion. She had been angry for so long. She had been hurt for so long. And now, standing in the crumbling parking lot of an abandoned church, she felt the weight of it all pressing down on her like a physical force.She looked at Steven—really looked at him. She saw the desperation in his eyes, the lines of worry etched into his face, the way his hands trembled slightly at his sides. This was a man who had lost so much. A man who had sacrificed everything for his family. A man who was willing to do anything—anything—to save his son.She thought of her own father—the man who had abandoned her, the man who had never loved her, the man who had left her to fend for herself in a world that didn't care. She thought of the emptiness that had lived in her heart for as long as she could remember. The longing. The need to be loved. The desperation
Chapter 749
The car hummed through the dark, empty streets of the city. The aftermath of the undead army's attack was everywhere—burned buildings, abandoned cars, debris scattered across the roads like the bones of a fallen giant. The streetlights flickered, their glow weak and uncertain, as if they too were recovering from the darkness that had consumed the city.Neither man spoke for a long while, each lost in his own thoughts. The weight of what they were about to do pressed down on them like a physical force—heavy, suffocating, inescapable.Philip stared out the window, watching the ruined city pass by in a blur. He thought of Seraphina—her face when she had realized what he had done. The betrayal. The pain. The shattering of something fragile and precious. He had done that. He had caused that pain. And now he was going to face her again.Steven gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white. He thought of Chance—his son, his heir, his hope for the future. He thought of Chloe, of the wedding

"I'm talking about you. About me. About Gary. About the entire family." She paused, her voice softening. "We've been so busy blaming ourselves—and each other—that we've forgotten what really matters. We've forgotten that we're stronger together than we are apart."Philip shook his head. "Susan, I don't—""Listen to me," she interrupted, her voice firm. "You've been sitting in this room for days, drowning in guilt over what you did to Seraphina. I understand. I do. But you can't change the past. None of us can. What we can do is move forward. Together."Philip's eyes glistened. "But what I did—""What you did, you did for your family," Susan said. "You did it to save Chance, Christopher, and Wilfreda. You did it to protect the people you love. And yes, it hurt Seraphina. It hurt you. But it also saved lives."She reached out and took his hand, her grip firm."Chance is gone. Or he's lost. We don't know. But what we do know is that the family needs us. All of us. Not just the ones who a

Steven returned to the living room, his face pale, the note clutched in his hand. The family looked up, their grief-stricken faces shifting to alarm at his expression."What happened?" Julia asked, her voice trembling.Steven held up the note. "Seraphina is gone. She killed the guard and escaped."The room erupted into chaos."WHAT?" Flynn was on his feet, his fists clenched. "How could this happen? How could she just—""We should have seen this coming," Priya said, her voice shaking. "She was Doomdoer's ally. We should have known she would—""Where's the guard?" Christopher interrupted, his voice sharp. "Is he—""Dead," Steven said quietly. "His throat was cut."Chloe's hands flew to her mouth. Janelle moved closer to Christopher, her face pale. Ava clutched Grace to her chest, her eyes wide with fear."What does the note say?" Wilfreda asked, her voice steady despite the tension in the room.Steven read it aloud. "I'm sorry. I had to go. But I can help you find them. Trust me."The
Chapter 746
Christopher stared at her for a long moment, her words sinking into his heart like stones into still water. Hope. It was such a fragile thing—so easily crushed, so easily lost. And yet, it was the only thing that had kept them going through everything. The only thing that had kept them fighting when the world was falling apart around them."You're right," he said quietly. "Hope is all we've got. And maybe that's enough."Wilfreda nodded, a small, fragile smile on her lips. "Maybe it is."***They returned to the estate just as dawn was breaking over the city. The sky was pale and gray, the clouds still heavy with the memory of darkness. The streets were quiet, the chaos of the night finally subsiding. But the silence was not peaceful—it was the silence of exhaustion, of grief, of a city that had seen too much.The family was waiting for them in the living room. Julia was the first to see them, her face pale, her eyes red from crying. She rushed to the door, her hands reaching for the
