Luke shouldn't have come all the way back to the capital. There would be more information about her within Creephia...
...
The study was silent.
After a long time, Luke's voice finally rang out.
"They died in battle."
"All the troops we sent out died in battle. When she was found, she was surrounded by a pile of corpses at the center."
"She wasn't tortured or abused, but... her heart was damaged."
The Federation did not disclose any further details, and they could not find out more.
For a moment, the space and time around them seemed to freeze like a film strip.
Osvaldo lowered his eyes, and Luke couldn't see his emotions clearly. But he could feel the man's oppression and discomfort from his pale and trembling brows.
After a while, Osvaldo suddenly stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, his dark gaze looking outside.
On the brown corridor, a slender figure was strolling over.
As the wind blew, the blooming plum blossoms scattered like snowflakes and landed on the black hair.
She walked towards him, the sweet scent of flowers filling the air.
The yellowed branches beside her sprouted green buds.
Winter was coming to an end.
Luke suppressed all his emotions and said, "I'll go to the Federation in person."
As he spoke, he walked towards the door and opened it.
Selena's hand, which was about to knock on the door, paused in mid-air as she saw Luke. She blinked and said, "Mr. Jordon?"
Luke stepped aside, "Lady Selena, I have given the information about Leah to your husband. And also, your script will be released soon."
Selena's doubts were instantly dispelled.
So he came to deliver the information for her.
Selena smiled at Luke and was about to thank him when she suddenly noticed Osvaldo standing by the window, and she keenly sensed that he was in a bad mood.
Selena's smile faded. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first," Luke looked at Selena, his mood inexplicably complex, and lowered his voice. "Mrs. Anderson, your husband is in a bad mood, cheer him up."
After speaking, he left.
Selena was confused and walked behind Osvaldo, raised her hand to wrap around his waist, and leaned her head out, looking at the man's profile and softly asked, "What's wrong?"
Osvaldo lowered his head, looking at the girl beside him who was tilting her head to look at him, his eyes gentle and affectionate, with an emotion that Selena couldn't understand.
He raised his hand to hold the two slender and flexible hands in front of him, turned around and led her in a direction, "Come."
Selena's eyelashes trembled, she was unable to understand the situation, and obediently walked with the man holding her hand.
As he was about to leave, Luke turned his head and looked at the two figures standing together behind him.
Suddenly, he felt that fate might really exist in the world.
These two people who would never have had any intersection before had become a couple.
He withdrew his gaze and looked up at the sky above his head, sighing softly.
How could a person suddenly change so drastically, like two different people?
