My Dreamy Old Husband

“Ah! Go away! Go away!” Anne was still throwing things in a panic. All of a sudden, Ryan slumped to the ground and collapsed in her direction. Falling to the ground in a twisted position, he did not move again—he wasn’t even breathing anymore.

Anne was so terrified that her brain blanked out, causing her to lose her ability to think. It took a long while for her to notice the girl that looked to be roughly ten years old standing behind Ryan. The girl was much taller than other children of the same age. Moreover, she seemed to be of mixed race—she had a very special pair of green eyes. It was this girl that had leaped out suddenly, performed a sneak attack from behind, and broke his neck.

The whole world became quiet with Ryan’s death. However, Lorelei’s hands were trembling. She was scared; extremely scared. At that moment, she felt as if she had returned to the time when she was sold at the slave market in Ronney City. Back then, she had been trained by the Yard Family to complete many unspeakable acts.

Under the Yard Family’s training, she, along with many other children, had been taught various techniques to kill. Since their opponents were adults, they were forced to learn how to disguise themselves and how to kill in one hit. After all, adults were physically much stronger than they were. If they failed to kill their target in a sneak attack, they would be the ones to die instead. They also fought and killed each other over the meager amount of food given to them. If they didn’t kill, they would starve. Therefore, she had to kill to survive. That was her life until Sophia and Michael found her and brought her back to the Fletcher Family. That was also the moment she finally escaped from that kind of life.

Looking down at Ryan, who seemed to be lying peacefully on the ground, she realized that she had killed again. Her eyes filled with horror following her realization. She was scared of going to jail, she was scared that Joel would despise her for killing again, and she was scared that her friends would abandon her because she murdered someone!

On the other hand, Anne recovered from her shock. Grabbing a blanket, she covered Ryan with it and beckoned to Lorelei. “Come; I’ll take you to somebody who can help.”

Upon hearing that, Lorelei snapped back to attention and led Carmen out of the dressing room. In the meantime, Anne checked the situation outside the room. When she saw that nobody was around, she hurriedly brought the girls next door to where Louis was staying.

Louis had been wandering abroad for several decades. Finally, he decided to return to Cethos in his elderly years and live out his retirement life at the Yard Residence in Bayside City. He met with his friends daily to drink tea and play chess together. Today was no different. However, Anne suddenly barged into his study and disrupted the pleasant chess game he was having with his friend.
