“I learned through some channels that a special medicine here can bring people back to life. Your grandfather has
been ill for many years, so I had to come here, even if I had to leave my young son…”
“Also, I have many things I need to do here, for the country, for the human race, and you, my child.”
At this point, there was guilt in the image of Philip’s mother. “Phil, I’m sorry…”
“Mom…”
Since Philip could remember, this was the first time his mother apologized to him.
“I found the special medicine. It’s in a box under the table. No one can open it except you. I planned to return to
Earth after getting everything, but…”
His mother wore a difficult expression before she continued, “Phil, before you reach the pseudo realm of the other
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshore, don’t come into contact with any members of the royal family. I have to go now.”
With that said, the image scattered into fluorescent light.
Philip was silent for a long while. He calmed his emotions and found the box with the herbs his mother had
mentioned.
The box was silver except for a black identification panel in the middle. However, when Philip was about to open it,
he realized that the box had already been opened!
The box was empty, and the only sign that herbs were once stored here was by the scent of herbs in the air.
The herbs that his mother had worked so hard to collect had disappeared just like this, and there was no trace of
the box being broken by an external force. Even though he was angry, he was also puzzled.
Philip put down the box and hurried to the main panel.
“Has anyone been here before I arrived?”
“Search history in progress. No history found…” The cold electronic voice sent shivers down Philip’s spine.
Philip did not doubt his mother’s words. It was impossible for the medicine to disappear into thin air. Someone must
have entered here and obtained the medicine through special means.
Philip leaned on the wooden chair and stared at the ceiling blankly, trying to figure it out.
“The houses here are managed by Montana Alliance. I have to look for Elder Whitmore.”
Philip muttered under his breath before leaving.
After leaving the passage, Philip felt even more uncomfortable as he watched the residents move out.
“Hey!” A girl with two ponytails, looking bright and youthful, jumped out and stood in front of Philip.
Philip was in a bad mood and did not want to speak to her, so he just walked past her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was the first time the girl was ignored when talking to a man.
She took out a mirror doubtfully, looked at her reflection, and said, “I don’t look ugly…”
The girl ran up to Philip, opened her arms to stop the scowling man, and said, “Don’t ignore me!”
Her actions attracted the attention of onlookers.
Philip paused, stared at her, and said, “Don’t stand in my way!”
He walked past her again. The girl became anxious.
She went over, hugged Philip’s waist, and shouted, “Are you going to leave me and our child just like this?”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Philip was shocked.
“How scandalous. He abandoned his wife and kid at such a young age…”
“I can’t believe that a nice-looking young man like him could behave this way.”
“He’s nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing!”
Amid everyone’s pointing fingers and accusations, Philip’s face darkened.
