Only when she saw the results with her own eyes would she believe them.

Later that evening, back at the hotel, Freya found Silas and Kade waiting. She placed her coat aside and exhaled softly. “Thank you, both of you. For today.”

Kade smiled faintly. “You don’t have to thank me, Freya. But there’s something I’d like to say- just to you.”

Freya hesitated, glancing briefly at Silas. “Then you should head up first,” she said to him. “I’ll talk with Kade for a bit.”

Silas lifted a brow, half-amused. “I don’t have the room key. Don’t tell me you’re backing out of your promise to repay me?”

“I don’t go back on my word.” Freya took the card from her pocket and pressed it into his hand.

His lips curled into a small, knowing smile. He turned to Kade, his gaze cool and faintly challenging, before saying lightly, “Then I’ll wait upstairs.”

When the elevator doors closed, Kade looked after him, frustration flashing briefly in his dark eyes. “Freya, why did you give him the key? And what does he mean by ‘repay’?”

“He has trouble sleeping,” she said simply. “Sometimes he needs someone nearby so he doesn’t drift into those nightmares. He’s helped me a lot these past days… this is the least I can do.”

For a long moment, Kade was silent. Then, a faint smile tugged at his lips. “Whether it’s a waste of time or not,” he said quietly, “that’s for me to decide. I’ve never thought of being by your side as a waste.”

She looked away. “But what if it’s hopeless? What if I can never return those feelings?”

He turned the laptop toward her. “And this might help you confirm it.”

On the screen were several files-hospital records, charity event reports, and a news clipping.

“One of the Williams manufacturing sites caught fire three years ago,” Silas explained. “Parker was caught inside. He was saved by a woman named Lina. Shortly after that, the Williams family came to Country D for a charity gala. A few weeks later, Parker was announced publicly as their illegitimate son.”

Freya’s heart lurched. “Three years ago… a fire?” she whispered.

The world tilted for a second. That was the same year she’d heard whispers of a nameless survivor pulled from the ruins outside Deepmoor City. Burned, memory lost, and taken in by

strangers.

Her breath caught in her throat.

Eric…

Could it truly be him?
