The shop owner met his hollow gaze and felt a strange pang of nervousness. In this business, you needed both nerve and luck, but looking into Caden’s eyes, she felt her courage falter.

“Yes, that’s right,” she replied quietly.

In reality, whether the cards were revealed or not, such wishes were nearly impossible to grant. Caden stepped closer, his tone resolute.

“Then tell me, how can I make absolutely certain these wishes won’t come true?”

“Make sure?” The shop owner quickly understood his meaning and, with a calm face, replied, “Hand them to me, and I’ll burn them for you.”

But Caden shook his head.

“No. I’ll do it myself.”

Seeing his resolve, she nodded and lit a small fire for him. Without a second thought, Caden fed the cards to the flames, watching them curl and darken until they were nothing but ash.

Alicia had been merciless. Two of the wishes were for his well-being; one was to erase herself from his life forever. By burning them all, he knew he might be forfeiting health and success. But if it meant even the slightest chance of keeping her in his life, it was a price he would pay. Without her, all the success in the world was meaningless.

As the last piece of the card turned to ashes, Caden finally turned away to leave. He didn’t know where Alicia had gone or how long she would evade him. But he swore he would search every corner of the earth if that was what it took to find her.

Gemma lived in a quiet, comfortable city with a modest profile. Though the city was only third-tier, it was home to many influential figures. Corey had chosen it carefully, knowing that no ordinary person would dare to investigate. He ensured Gemma remained off the radar, with a private medical team that kept her far from any hospital records.

When Alicia first met the girl, she was struck by Gemma’s innocence. The child looked up at her with wide eyes, a blend of curiosity and a hint of fear reflected in them.

Corey, showing an unusual gentleness, rested a hand on the girl’s head.

“Gemma, this is the lady you wanted. She’s here to help you fall asleep, and she’ll stay with us. Would you like that?”

Gemma’s face lit up, her eyes sparkling.

“Really, brother?”

“Really,” Corey replied, a rare softness in his tone.

“When have I ever lied to you?”

Satisfied, Gemma clung to her brother’s arm, her eyelids heavy with sleep.

After settling her into her room, Corey turned to Alicia, his expression cooling into a steely gaze.

Since Alicia already knew the situation, he didn’t need to conceal Gemma’s information.

“Gemma has a severe blood disorder. She’s been treated since she was born, but now she’s immune to all common medications. The only thing keeping her alive is blood transfusions.” He paused, his eyes studying her.
