Seeing Wendy’s expression, the bodyguard couldn’t help but murmur, “We’ve already made more than enough. Even if you keep researching, there may never be results. It’s been over twenty years. If success were possible, it would’ve happened long ago. Why not take the money we have and start a new life somewhere? At least then we wouldn’t have to keep living in fear.”

The words had barely left his mouth before Wendy struck him across the face.

A red handprint flared on his cheek.

Her voice was icy. “Who do you think you are, daring to say that to me? Listen well – I must continue. Twenty years ago medicine was nothing compared to today. I will succeed. I will bring him back. Do you really think I favor you because you’re anything special? It’s only because you look a little like him. Don’t mistake that for being him.”

The bodyguard dropped his head at once. “I wouldn’t dare.”

Wendy’s eyes were colder than ever. “Remember this. No one can compare to him. You are not worthy.”

He kept silent, bowing low.

Wendy’s voice was sharp. “I don’t believe that without him I’m nothing. I’ve spent more than two decades building connections. I will create that drug. And when I do, I will be the greatest in the world. He will live again.”

Her

gaze burned with obsession, with a vision of the future she refused to abandon.

She had labored for this moment for twenty years.

Aying, we will finally meet again.

Already, she had begun to forget Morten’s face. That frightened her. She wanted time itself to slow, so that one day she could stay with him forever.

Meanwhile.

Eliza and Nolan had just landed overseas.

As they stepped off the plane, Henry sent a dossier to Eliza’s phone. She opened it and scanned the pages.

It looked decades old. A colored one–inch photo of a young man stared back – his features striking, his expression steady.

Chapter 595 The Name of Morten

“Morten…”

1:

Eliza whispered the name. She had never heard it before.

Could this be the lover Wendy lost? The one said to have died of depression?

Henry quickly confirmed it.

This was the man who had been with Wendy until the Foster family forced them apart.

As the Foster family heiress, Wendy could never have married a nameless bodyguard. To them, Morten was worthless: nothing but a handsome face and physical strength. He offered no status, no advantage. When they discovered the relationship, they tore the two apart, dismissing him at once.

Wendy was forced into marriage with Leo, an older man.

Morten had been locked under guard twenty–four hours a day. To crush his spirit, Wendy’s brother Felix had even ordered him to personally escort her to her wedding.

The humiliation destroyed him. He wasted away, sinking into despair, and in the end, depression claimed him.

When Wendy learned of his death, she was never the same again.

Eliza turned the pages. Morten’s background was humble, even tragic – a poor family, hard labor shaping his character, endurance written into his bones. His clean looks had landed him the job as bodyguard for the Foster family. He had only been twenty–seven.

Looking at the photograph, Eliza finally understood Wendy’s madness.

To be torn from the man you love, forced to marry someone old enough to be your father, and then to watch your true love wither away before your eyes…

If it had been her, she might have gone mad too.

“So all these years, everything Wendy has done —

all her research – it’s for Morten, isn’t it?”

A bold thought struck her. “You think she’s trying to stop aging, create immortality… just so she can stay with him?”

“Morten is dead,” Nolan replied. “Even Wendy must know there is no drug that can raise the dead. And it’s been over twenty years. His body is long gone. Even if such a miracle existed, it couldn’t bring him back.”

But Eliza’s eyes widened suddenly. She lifted her head, her voice sharp. “No. That’s not it!”
