My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2017

“Where am I now?”

“You're inside your own body, and this orb of light in front of you is the gift I left for you.”

“Left for me? A gift?” Torah looked at the light orb warily. He knew about his background, but after so many years, he had never met his father. His sudden appearance now brought an unbearable feeling.

“I'm already dead. Why are you saying this now?” Torah turned away, gritting his teeth. He did not want to hear anything from his so-called father as he never had any expectations of him.

“Listen to me, child. Things are not as you think. It’s not that I didn’t care about you and your mother, but I was truly powerless. At that time—"

“Then why are you here now?!” Torah cut him off harshly.

“I'm of no use to you now. I’m already dead. I’m going to find my mother…”

“No, child. You can't go yet,” Skye said.

Torah's voice quivered with emotion as he responded, “Why? Why did you have to come now…”

“Child, I was resurrected as a puppet previously, and my consciousness was erased. It was only just now that my body was sealed and thus my mind freed. Please believe me. I wanted to help you…”

“Help me? How?” Torah shook his head. “I’m already dead. I don’t want to… Forget it. If you want to help me, fine. Find a way for me to keep fighting. You’re a god, right? It should be easy for you.”

"That's no problem," Skye replied. "Fortunately, you died with the body of a dragon, so your divine form remains intact. All you need to do is reach out and touch this light orb that is filled with my divine power.
