Chapter 1708: She must find him.
Selena found herself in a maze and came face to face with Gaia. Sitting at Gaia's feet, engrossed in a
book, was little Gaia. As soon as she saw "mommy," she dropped her book and walked over to Selena
with a big sweet smile on her face, arms outstretched for a hug.
Selena lifted the little hand up and rubbed her head. Little Gaia's snow-white cheeks turned pink with
joy.
Looking up at the older Gaia, Selena asked, "Gaia, did that person really exist?"
She thought that without any evidence or proof, there would be no answer from him. But unexpectedly,
little Gaia jumped down from his lap and ran over to the keyboard where she began typing away
furiously.
On the screen appeared a black text bubble: "Daddy!"
Selena was taken aback for a moment before her confusion turned into determination as she stared
intently at little Gaia. "Daddy?" she repeated.
Little Gaia looked back at Selena with an expression of uncertainty before typing another line: "Find
Daddy!"
At that moment, Selena felt her heart tighten in anxiety. After all, Gaia was like her own child - someone
who had been created by her own imagination.
She was its "mother".
But now little Gaia says it has a "father"!
For Gaia to willingly call someone "father", she must have given her approval.
And if he wasn't the man she liked, how could Gaia agree to call him "father"?
He really existed...
And little Gaia even saw him with her own eyes!
That means that person had been to the central city and was led by her to see Gaia!
Since he had been there, why did no one know of his existence?!
How... did she forget about him?!
Selena's heart trembled as she stared at little Gaia. "Where did 'dad' go?"
Little Gaia looked at Selena with those cold and ghostly eyes, remaining silent.
Selena's heart sank as it became clear that little Gaia knew about her father but didn't know where he
went.
There was only one situation where everyone around would remain silent about his existence.
"That is... what if something happened to him! Her parents didn't want to see her heartbroken, sad, and
in pain, so they chose to erase her memories and make her forget. He really did exist. The reason he
didn't show up was because... he had an accident. If it was just an injury, her parents wouldn't have
erased her memories when they knew she liked him. It can only be that..."
Selena's heart tightened as she turned around abruptly, staring coldly at the direction of the
administrative hall.
A year ago, the Rose Palace was attacked by unknown assailants and Lillian was inexplicably injured.
At that time, Selena happened to be in the Rose Palace.
After Lillian's severe injury and being sent away overnight for treatment, Selena woke up!
Was this really a coincidence?!
If it wasn't...
What if the Rose Palace wasn't destroyed by accident but someone fought with Lillian to protect Selena
who was unconscious at the time?
A suffocating pain spread into Selena's heart as she raised her hand and covered her head.
Little Gaia stood aside watching "Mom" with a pale face showing signs of pain climb onto Selena's
shoulder gently patting "Mom" on the back.
Selena slowly put down her hand; the painful expression on her face disappeared along with confusion
replaced by coldness and determination in her eyes.
She was certain, that person really existed!
So, as long as she got rid of Lillian and avenged him, there would be countless opportunities to find him
again!
Whether he was alive or dead, she would definitely find him!
As Selena left the research institute, all the pain and confusion on her face disappeared completely.
She coldly boarded the carriage back to the palace and ordered in a low voice, "Go back!"
The low-key luxurious carriage slowly headed towards the direction of the palace.
At that moment when Selena boarded the carriage, a tall figure walked slowly by on the street beside
her.
A man in black with black hair wearing a mask. His simple profile exuded an inexplicable sense of
nobility and temptation.
He lowered his eyelashes as if lost in thought. Suddenly he seemed to feel something and turned his
head abruptly. He revealed a pair of pitch-black eyes like eternal night staring towards where Selena
had just left from. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
In the carriage, Selena's heart skipped a beat suddenly. Almost without thinking about it she pulled
down on window curtains to look outside but saw nothing but emptiness.
The asphalt road was quiet yet noisy with neatly trimmed flower pots along its sides under summer
afternoon sun - there was nothing else around them.
Selena's pale fingers fell on her chest while looking somewhat dazed; what was that feeling just now?
She looked carefully again, but still didn't find anything, and in the end could only put down the curtain.
At the same moment, behind the shade of trees covered by grass and leaves, a man with black clothes
and black hair held a knife against someone's neck.
The girl with a knife against her neck had tears in her eyes and looked at the man in front of her
tremblingly and slightly mournfully. "I didn't mean to follow you, I just wanted to see where you were
going..."
There was a thin layer of hostility in the man's eyes. He glanced at the people in front of him without
any ripples, and then withdrew his knife.
He turned his head and looked towards the direction behind him.
The street is empty and there is no trace of anyone.
The man furrowed his brow and walked towards that direction.
The girl held her neck and watched the man about to leave. Subconsciously, she followed him and
asked, "Hey, where are you going?"
The man did not pay attention and his departing steps remained firm.
The girl became anxious and could only resort to threats, "You promised my father that you would
protect me! Don't forget, it was my father who saved you. Now you are my bodyguard and must obey
me!"
The man finally stopped in his tracks when he heard her words, and glanced at her with an indifferent
expression.
The girl was frightened by the man's gaze, but felt happy when he stopped walking. She skipped over
to him and said, "That's right. As my bodyguard, your duty is to protect me and not run around
recklessly!"
"For the queen's wedding, I have come on behalf of my father to witness the ceremony in the central
city. I will encounter many malicious people, so you must protect me closely at all times!"
In the end, the girl's cheeks turned red as she looked at the man in front of her with anticipation and
shyness.
Unfortunately, the man in front of her seemed blind as he didn't even look at her.
The young girl looked sad and helpless, struggling to find a topic to discuss. "Speaking of which, why
did you suddenly come to the research institute? This place is not easy to access. Once discovered,
you could be arrested immediately. Even my father wouldn't be able to protect you then..."
