“However, she couldn’t interfere too much in others‘ lives. She could only point the way, but whether they chose to follow was beyond her control.
If she overstepped, she would have to bear the consequences
“She wasn’t some saint, and she couldn’t accept the backlash from others either
“If he knew the truth and returned the life force, his next life would be smooth sailing. Unfortunately, the woman didn’t ask him to do so. The child, who doesn’t even know what’s going on, will have to suffer the consequences that shouldn’t be his,” Odalys continued, her voice ringed with regret.
She added, “He didn’t mean to take someone else’s life force, but he enjoyed the health the life brought him for over a decade. So, there will be a price to pay
“This woman’s greed killed not only her and her son but also her brother–in–law’s child.”
“She had tried to help the woman, confident that if the child knew the truth, he would willingly return the life force. But the woman hadn’t taken that step.
“Exactly! So she indirectly caused the deaths of two children Selah fumed, her chest heaving in anger.
“The sight of that woman’s twisted face, pointing at Odalys and telling her to let her brother–in–law take action, enraged Selah. Fortunately, Odalys had stepped in just in time, or she might have choked on her fury.
“Everything hinges on her one thought. She originally planned to do as I suggested, but when she saw that child, she hesitated. Seeing how rich and luxurious others were, she craved more money,” Odalys explained.
“At that time, she didn’t care about her son. She just wanted to please her brother–in–law and get more benefits from him,” Odalys said. Destiny had long been sealed, and no matter how much one tried to foresee it, they would end up walking the path they were meant to. “Thankfully, she’s dead. I don’t feel the least bit sorry for her, Freya said casually.
She kept scrolling through the comments. Many people who watched the livestream were as angry as she was, especially those who had just watched the livestream at noon. Some people were even concerned about the following.
“No one expected the same woman to slander Odalys and try to have her kidnapped. The plot twists had left everyone stunned. “Enough about her. How did filming go today!” Odalys quickly changed the topic. Talking about the dead was pointless now. Francis, sipping his drink, hesitated and then said, “Odalys, something strange happened during the shoot
“What?” Odalys looked at him in confusion.
“Francis set his drink aside, took a deep breath, and began, “I had a scene where I w well-behaved”
La scene where I was supposed to ride a horse and shoot arrows. My horse w

He continued. “But after we went around once, someone suddenly appeared. He asked if I was Francis. I thought he was a crew and answered I was him. He stared at me for a long time, then said to come find him at midnight“
“As Francis spoke, everyone’s skin prickled with unease. After the strange “Devil’s Triangle” encounter the night before, no one was sleeping soundly.
“I turned around, and he was gone. After the shoot, I felt strange. My hands were itching, so I thought I might be allergic to something. But look at this,” Francis said, rolling up his sleeve and showing his arm.
A faint mark, resembling a rose in bloom, was visible on his arm. No matter how much he rubbed, it wouldn’t fade.
“He said to meet him at midnight. Did you agree?” Odalys asked urgently.
“Francis shook his head. Since meeting Odalys, he had been more cautious about these supernatural occurrences, especially since strange events had often happened in this area before.
“No,” Francis replied.

Odalys stretched out her hand to hold his arm, lowered her head, and stared at the mark on his arm. Percival also moved closer.
“He extended a long finger, lightly rubbing the mark on Francis’s arm, his voice low as he murmured. “This mark. I think I’ve seen it before”
“I thought it looked familiar too,” Odalys added, her voice matching Percival’s.
Without thinking, Odalys moved aside to let Percival sit next to her, both of them now side by side on the sofa.
La
Hearing their words, Francis suddenly felt a sense of nervousness.
“After he spoke to me, I turned around and he was gone. Later, I asked around, but no one in the crew knew him. I even checked with the neighboring crew, but no one had seen him either,” Francis continued
“And he was wearing clothes from around the 1990s, he added.
“Stellan, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. “Clothes from the 1920s… Wasn’t this film set in the same location where, during the 1920s, the mansion was torn down to make way for the film set!”
It was an eerie coincidence.
“Odalys instinctively touched the ring in her bag, a feeling stirring deep inside her.
She had a sense that s
something was about to happen, but she couldn’t yet tell what it was,
“Odalys Percival suddenly called her name.
“When Odalys heard him speak, she instinctively leaned closer to him, her face almost touching his. Percival lowered his head, his lips brushing her ear as he spoke softly, “When we were at the junction of energy, the clothes we wore for our wedding were also from the 1920s.”
“I’m not sure if there’s any connection, but since we could see ourselves from that time, and now he’s seeing someone from that era too, do you think there might be a link? Percival said.
“Regardless of whether there was a connection, they couldn’t afford to be careless.
*Before I came here, the ring the major general gave me reacted,” Odalys said.
She took off the ring and handed it to Percival
He took the ring from her, played with it in his palm, and seemed lost in thought.
They were sitting so close that their bodies almost touched, an unspoken chemistry between them creating an almost palpable tension.
“Freya, sitting across from them, rested her hand on her cheek, watching the scene. She quietly took a couple of photos and sent them to Evander.
[Grandpa! Look! Evander seems to be in love! Freya was so excited that her hands were shaking.
It felt as if she had finally caught Percival in a vulnerable moment like she had become a paparazzo.
“I have a picture where it looks like they’re about to kiss, I’ll send it to you.” Selah whispered.
She quickly sent the candid photo she had just taken to Freya and gave her an “OK” gesture. They shared a knowing smile.
“Good job,” Freya said with a grin.
“Francis, sitting nearby, felt distracted and was about to retract his arm.
“Tonight, I’ll pick you up,” Percival suddenly said.
“Francis froze for a moment, unsure if he had heard correctly.
“Did you mean me” Francis asked, a little stunned. He hadn’t expected Percival to offer to pick him up. It sounded strange, like something a guy would say to a woman.
I
“Yes, after you finish filming, I’ll pick you up, Percival said.
