The sickly little one was adopted by a wealthy foreigner and became a favorite.

When Wu Tu heard his voice, she turned her head and stared at him with wide eyes.

The face in front of me was still that of an ordinary, middle-aged maid.

But the voice... it was Ross's voice.

The little guy couldn't hold back his grievances any longer and suddenly threw himself into Ross's arms.

Ross patted his head:

"I'm sorry, Ethan and I were murdered by Moon's forces after we left the country. It was an acquaintance here who helped us save us. The castle here is heavily guarded. I lay low for a month before I finally found a chance to sneak in."

When the black rabbit touched Ross's neck, it indeed felt the marks of the rubber mask.

He was completely relieved.

When Ulva saw Ross, she had many questions for him. Where was Dad? How was Ethan? But now wasn't the time to chat.

Ross told Ulva about his plan, and the two plotted for a while before Ross pretended to be nonchalant and went out.

That evening, Wu Tu came downstairs wearing a skirt, walked up to Yue, and looked at him with a smile.

Want to grab a drink with me?

Yue stared at Wu Tu, her eyes never leaving him.

Yue walked to the bar, mixed a very pretty drink with almost no alcohol content, and handed it to Wu Tu.

Wu Tu didn't seem very satisfied; he pushed the glass of wine away.

You're afraid to get drunk?

After a moment of silence, Yue took out the strong liquor.

To accommodate Wu Tu, the alcohol content of the Yue Diao wine wasn't very high, so they each had one cup.

But after some calculation, Wu Tu felt it was enough.

Wu Tu wanted to say something to put Yue at ease, but in front of this kind of person, the little guy didn't know what to say, so the two of them looked at each other in silence and just silently finished their drinks.

Afterwards, Wu Tu staggered to his feet, helped the seemingly drunk Yue to her feet, and the two returned to their room under the watchful eyes of the servants.

Yue didn't fall asleep; his eyes were fixed on Wutu. Wutu gently touched his face to comfort him, and the two of them lay down on the bed together.

Just as the night made the air ambiguous, Yue suddenly turned over and buried her face in Wu Tu's neck.

Without any other thoughts, their actions were as simple as those of a child.

Yue's dependent action caught Wu Tu off guard.

The little guy had no choice but to sit up and pat Yue's back soothingly, like comforting a child.

Only after getting drunk did Yue seem to dare to reveal a little of her true feelings:

"I never wanted to be born into this world."

Even the worst parents can easily control their child's life; with a mere flick of their wrist, they can decide whether a person lives or dies.

"They are only responsible for giving birth, but they treat their illegitimate children like livestock or pets. When they are happy, they use them for amusement, and when they are unhappy, they beat and scold them to vent their emotions."

"In the end, they'll still make me feel grateful by saying things like, 'I'm your father, I gave birth to you.'"

"Should I repay this debt of gratitude for being born?"

"All the suffering in my life was brought about by them!!"

"Power...power is a wonderful thing. Before I was nothing, even the servants looked down on me, spat at me, and called me a monster, a deformed freak, a filthy thing that couldn't be seen in the light."

"But now, I am power, so even if I am truly disfigured and become a monster, they will act like monkeys, fawning over me and praising me madly..."

"Humans are disgusting... I hate them all."

"But you're different. You and I were both tormented children, but you have a heart that won't become dirty even if you're thrown into the mud..."

"You know I've been secretly watching your interactions with your family, and I long to be part of your family too..."

Why does no one in this world love me like this?

The last moon's voice was very soft, so soft that the crow could barely hear it.

But his heart did indeed tremble for the moon.

There was a time when he thought the same thing.

Why are there so many parents in the world who love their children, but not him?

The crow sympathizes with the moon and with its plight.

But no matter how pitiful he may be, that is not a reason for him to hurt others.

Does a murderer having a pitiful past mean he isn't a murderer?

The black cat's touch grew increasingly gentle, and the moon's eyelids gradually drooped.

After Yue fell asleep, Wu Tu raised her eyes, her eyes filled with only cold clarity.

When Yue and Wutu were alone, no one was watching them on the monitor.

So Wutu used a pillow to create a human shape in the blanket, making it look like Wutu and Yue were sleeping together. But in reality, the little guy used tape to imprint Yue's fingerprints and ran over to unlock the room.

As soon as the little guy went out, Ross was waiting for him at the end of the corridor.

He walked over, and Ross used a food cart to cover his figure. The two of them hid in a corner without surveillance cameras to change their clothes.

Wu Tu had become an inconspicuous, thin male servant.

He followed Ross, and the two mingled into the servants' quarters.

The place was poorly managed. Ross chatted with someone for a bit, handed over a pack of high-end cigarettes, and then "changed" his and Wu Tu's shifts, allowing the two of them to escape the castle.

At this moment, when Wu Tu looked back, he realized that the castle where Yue lived was so ancient, imposing, and oppressive.

The massive castle didn't look like a place for people to live; it looked more like a lifeless graveyard.

Wu Tu glanced at him, then turned away, took Ross's hand, and ran wildly with the person who gave him a sense of security, never looking back.

Ross said:

"When Yue discovers you're missing, she'll definitely conduct a thorough search. At this point, we can't leave the country, so we can only hide for now."

As the black rabbit ran, it asked:

"Where's Ethan?"

Ross replied, "Don't worry, he'll keep Ethan safe with someone I know."

"Our immediate priority is to find a place to hide."

Ross, pulling the black rabbit along, quickly turned onto a side path.

They traveled along paths, through forests, and changed vehicles, spending a whole day on the road before Ross finally stopped with Uluru in a sparsely populated rural area.

"I'm sorry, I can't take you home right now. We have to stay here for a while."

Even though they were still on the run, Ross still took care of Ultus's feelings, apologized to him, and repented for what he had failed to do.

Seeing Ross's serious expression, Wu Tu couldn't hold back her tears.

After so long, he was finally being listened to as a human being again.

Some people are born with a different capacity to love.

Moon tends to push away all the love around her, while Rose understands love as putting the other person first.

Ulu hugged Ross tightly, listening to his breathing and heartbeat, and felt that she was still a person and still alive.
