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.
